Thanks for the link to your book. I have tried your examples from it
and now I get the app forcing to close.
Perhaps you can shed some light on this?
Here's my code:
-- Calculator.java--
package com.calculator;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Calculator extends Activity {
private static final int MY_SETUP = 0;
private static final int MY_ABOUT = 1;
// These are from the layout of the setup menu
RadioButton rb1 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton01);
RadioButton rb2 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton02);
RadioButton rb3 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton03);
RadioButton rb4 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton04);
RadioButton rb5 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton05);
RadioButton rb6 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.RadioButton06);
EditText ed1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
EditText ed2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText02);
EditText ed3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText03);
EditText ed4 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText04);
EditText ed5 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText05);
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// code of the calculator goes here //
}
// options menu
// Called only the first time the options menu is displayed.
// Create the menu entries.
// Menu adds items in the order shown.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Setup")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_preferences);
menu.add("About")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);
return(super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
//return true;
}
// handle menu selected
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
if (item.getTitle().equals("Setup")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.calculator.setup.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_SETUP);
return true;
}
if (item.getTitle().equals("About")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.calculator.about.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_ABOUT);
return true;
}
return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
//return false;
}
}
-- setup (setup.java) --
// code handles radio click & buttons ex: setting default values back
in to the EditText box etc.//
package com.calculator;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dialogsetup);
// code to handle button clicks goes here //
}
}
-- EditPreferences.java --
package com.calculator;

import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
public class EditPreferences extends PreferenceActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

}
}
// NOTE: as per your example from your book, this does not have
"import android.app.Activity;" //

Other than the screen layouts, that is it.
What could be the error?
