[android-beginners] Re: need to learn java
I personally think it's one of the easier languages to learn, but then again I've been working with Java for nearly 8 years. One reason I say it's simple is that it's fairly easy to read. This does make code quite a bit more verbose though. Just make sure you start out simple. Make sure you write the obligatory Hello World application, then move on to more advanced things. There are people on the groups here that jumped right into developing against Android without knowing Java at all. That's not a great idea.

[android-beginners] Re: Problems running the emulator (error: com.google.android.phone is not responding)
a 20-30 minutes first boot is not normal. M5 on a 1 GHz Mobile Pentium III takes 7 minutes and a half on first boot. (that's the lowest running CPU I could find). the next SDK release should contain an improved emulator binary that runs slightly faster. However I'm totally unsure that this will be the case for everyone at this point. there are many problems we have a very hard time reproducing on our own hardware.

[android-beginners] Re: m5 not working
Ok, on the windows machine I didn't try anything with CVS, just to get m5 to work. I downloaded eclipse and put the program files in C:/ program files/eclipse. I downloaded m5 and put the folder in C:/. In eclipse I installed the plugins with the directions on the android site. I then restarted eclipse and went to properties and told it the location of the m5 version of the sdk. I created a new android project (to test things) and R.java was created no problems. I then modified a file (main.xml) and when eclipse rebuilt the project, R.java disappeared. I tried cleaning the project, going to android tools and fixing project properties, basically anything that people recommended to get m5 to work on a project. Nothing would fix it. This is the exact same problem that my Ubuntu machine is having, it can create an initial R.java, but when it needs updating, it will no longer create it. I have tried the same steps on both of cleaning and whatnot to try to fix it. I am out of ideas on what to do. I know it is not just my computer/os, because 2 computers with different operating systems both having the same problems seems odd. It seems to me that the m5 release is pretty broken.

[android-beginners] Re: Bring View to Front
Hi Alejandra, You can use bringToFront() method of the View class in order to pop the view up. If you need to overlap the views, you can use the AbsoluteLayout which lets you define x,y coordinates of the Views directly. -sarp On Apr 6, 3:35 am, "Alejandra H." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello :) > > Is there any way to bring a view to the front of the main view?

[android-beginners] Re: readonly singleline TextView and text which doesn't fit there completely
This feature is part of the next SDK. Using an attribute called "ellipsize" you will be able to automatically add an ellipsis "..." at the beginning, end or in the middle of the text, as needed.

[android-beginners] Re: readonly singleline TextView and text which doesn't fit there completely
A few days ago someone was doing some things with formatting text in a textview and it was suggested he look at SpannableString and SpannableStringBuilder. I've looked at the docs, but those classes are still quite confusing to me, but maybe they would do something useful for you.

I don't think there's much you can do. You will have to allow for a long boot time or upgrade your hardware.

[android-beginners] Re: best way to setup 3 buttons
Yes, that's expected behavior for fill_parent. It "fills" what's left in the parent which means it pushes other things out of view.

[android-beginners] Re: Make a button reset a program
I've heard there is supposed to be some functionality coming in a future sdk to close an application. So I guess maybe in code you would make a close call (or whatever they call the method), then a startActivity call. If you wanted to do the same thing in the current sdk, you'd probably have to unwind the activity stack by using finish() calls in all your onActivityResult methods.

Hello Digit, Thanks for your answer, and you are right: I ran on a CPU with 1 GHz and 500 MB RAM. However I fail to find any system requirements related to CPU and RAM in the documentation "System and Software Requirements". I only complied to the Windows XP requirement. Perhaps it would be an idea to state hardware requirements as well? Anything I can do to run the emulator on a 1 GHz CPU with 500 MB RAM? Allow longer first-boot time?

[android-beginners] Most basic UI crash
Hi,
Keep getting
"Unable to start
activity...ComponentInfo{...}java.lang.NullPointerException"
error.
Tried couple of basic examples from web, same problem:
Actual Code:
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.enter_device_name);
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.okButt);
//
***
// If I remove the bottom statement, I can see the UI display; a
textedit and a abutton.
// The line below causes the crash.
//
***
button.setOnClickListener(
new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
}
}
);
}
XML:
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFEE9" android:padding="10px">
SDK: m5. Emulator using HVGA-P.
Also tried to use a dialog box. Also crashes when I call
setOnClickListener.
BTW, the 'okButt' button always display on top of the 'yourName' edit
box, isn't it suppose to be
'layout_below'? Other XML that I copied from some example exibit the
same behavior. Any clue?
Cheers...
Jason Tai

[android-beginners] Re: Embed audio file !
Try removing the prepare() call. I'm using m5 and having that call in
your example caused it to break on me.

[android-beginners] Bring View to Front
Hello :) Is there any way to bring a view to the front of the main view? I want it to overlap the other views. Right now, it's pushing my textview next to it and it's wrapping the text inside of it.
