[android-developers] Re: About highlightbar in the List
I'm still confused as to why touching the screen does not show a highlight. Is there a usability reason for this or is it a technical limitation? From my POV, a highlight on touch would seem the most natural approach. - Biosopher --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

It's a usability reason. A highlight will show when the user presses the item, but it will go away when the touch action ends.

[android-developers] Re: About highlightbar in the List
Would it be possible to "turn on" highlighting as an option? This would be very useful for cases where the user selects/touches an item on the screen and then uses the menu button to select an action on the item selected - I agree with Biosopher's POV - if the highlight goes away then menu usability is like shooting blindfolded.

[android-developers] Re: About highlightbar in the List
No, there won't be such an option. Having a persistent selection on a device with a touch screen and a keyboard (if Android runs on a such a device some day) creates many more important issues. The next release of the SDK provides a new feature in ListView that lets you enable the single choice or the multiple choice mode. These modes automatically turn the ListView into a list of check boxes (although they don't look like checkboxes.) This achieves exactly what you want. Also, Android's philosophy is that the menu should not be used for context-sensitive actions. The context menu (== long press) is meant for that. The menu should contain only global actions.

[android-developers] Re: About highlightbar in the List
There is nothing to do to show the selection. Note however that the
selection appears only when you use the physical keys (that is your
keyboard in the emulator). Touching (clicking with your mouse) the
screen won't show the selection.

Item-2
Item-3
I want to display some page,When i click the items.
I done in the m3 version.successfully.
But i cant do in the m5 version.Because there is no highlight
bar displayed in the items.
What is the code we have to follow to display the highlight bar
in the items.
Here my code is
package com.IW.Architectureee;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

private Handler handler = new Handler();
private int contentViewId,page;
public static final int EXTERIOR = Menu.FIRST;
public static final int MENU=Menu.SECONDARY;
public int imageno;
public int selectionRowID;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.menu);
String[] labels = new String[] {
EXTERIOR1, EXTERIOR2, LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM1,
DINING ROOM2,BED ROOM1,BED ROOM2,HOUSE PLAN,ADDRESS,SLIDE
SHOW };
setListAdapter(new SimpleAdapter(this,
getData(labels),R.layout.menu_item, new String[]{title}, new int[]
{R.id.title}));
}
private ListMapString, Object getData(String[] labels)
{
ListMapString, Object list = new
ArrayListMapString,Object();
for (String label : labels)
{
list.add(getMap(label));
}
return list;
}
private MapString, Object getMap(String label)
{
MapString, Object map = new HashMapString, Object();
map.put(title, label);
return map;
}
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int
position,
long id) {
//Log.i(,Selected);
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
// Get the item that was clicked
Object o = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
String keyword = o.toString();
Intent myStarterIntent = null;
try {
selectionRowID = (int)getSelectedItemPosition();
//selectionRowID = (int)gets
//To display exterior page
if (selectionRowID==0)
{
myStarterIntent = new Intent(this,
MenuArchitecture2.class );
//Send the Intent to the OS.
this.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
}
//To display exterior1 page
if (selectionRowID==1)
{
myStarterIntent = new Intent(this,
exterior1Page.class );
//Send the Intent to the OS.
this.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
}
//To display exterior1 page
if (selectionRowID==2)
{
myStarterIntent = new Intent(this,

}

this.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
}
//To display dining2 page
if (selectionRowID==4)
{
myStarterIntent = new Intent(this,
dining2Page.class );
//Send the Intent to the OS.
this.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
}
//To display bedroom1 page
if (selectionRowID==5)
{
