[android-beginners] Re: custom component in a list

2008-07-11 Thread Sylvester Steele

I don't know how you have created your Adapter for supplying to your
ListView subclass. I am assuming that you implemented an Adapter
subclass
that overrode getView() and is returning your row objects on demand,
perhaps instantiated via ViewInflate.

arrayAdapter1= new ArrayAdapter (this, R.layout.component,
R.id.name);

is how I initialize my adapter. I do not override any methods.

"component" is my custom component and "name" is a textView that takes
the value.


I tried:

absoluteLayout1 is the name of the absolutelaoyout in component.xml
AbsoluteLayout absoluteLayout1=
(AbsoluteLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.absoluteLayout1);
deleteButton1=
(Button)absoluteLayout1.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);

AND (as said earlier) also tried

deleteButton1=
(Button)customComponent.findViewById(R.id.deleteButton);

customComponent is initialized as:

customComponent= new ConversationListView(this);
  --OR--
customComponent=
(ConversationListView)this.findViewById(R.layout.component);

it didn't work.

That may make things more complicated for getting at your buttons.

You have two choices that I can think of:

1. Make a subclass of ArrayAdapter, override getView(), and use that to 
create your row Views, and take that opportunity to set your listener on 
your buttons.

2. Sometime, walk the rows (child views) of the ListView. I don't know 
when that would be safe. getChildCount() and getChildAt() will probably 
work to give you your row Views, though I haven't tried this. And if 
Android for some reason does not recycle your row Views when the list 
scrolls, you would somehow need to trap the scroll event and check all 
the rows to make sure your buttons have their listeners.

I'm a fan of option #1, but that's just me.

Your current implementation (supplying an alternate layout resource ID 
in the adapter constructor) probably works just fine for rows that you 
do not need to modify, where Android can handle everything for you.

[android-beginners] Bug in AutoComplete4 example?

2008-07-11 Thread Ashok Singal
Hi Friends,

After setting the correct permissions(READ_CONTACTS) and adding some
contacts in the emulator, when i am running the AutoComplete4 example
provided in the APIDemos, i found that the auto-complete functionality is
not working. No matter what i type, it is showing me all the names of the
contacts in the drop down list, which def is not the required functionality.

Did you also noticed the same flaw in the functionality or am i missing
something?

Kindly suggest.

Thanks and regards,
Ashok

[android-beginners] Install process on real handsets

2008-07-11 Thread petter

I've had some fun doing some tutorials with Android, it looks
supersweet :)

One question though, how are applications "installed" on real
handsets? Is it similar to J2ME, where you enter a URL in your browser
and installment goes from there, or is it necessary to compile the OS
with the new program - as the Emulator seems to be doing?

[android-beginners] Re: custom component in a list

2008-07-11 Thread Sylvester Steele

Mark, a couple of questions:

1. I looked at the getView funtcion:ViewgetView(int position,
View convertView, ViewGroup parent).

  I can understand that position refers to the particular element on
the list and ViewGroup parent to the custom view I am using for the
list items. But what does View convertView stand for?

2. how am I supposed  to specify ViewGroup parent? send an object of
my custom component class?

3. Make a subclass of ArrayAdapter, override getView(), and use that
to
create your row Views, and take that opportunity to set your listener
on
your buttons.

Please elaborate about how this should be done.

Sylvester

If convertView is null, ignore it.

If convertView is not null, it is a View you previously created in
getView() being returned to you for potential recycling. If you only are
using one type of row View, then you can cast convertView to whatever your
rows are (e.g., LinearLayout) and repopulate the existing widgets, rather
than using ViewInflate or manual construction to create new widgets again.
Creating widgets and inflating layout XML is a relatively time-consuming
process, so convertView gives you a means of optimizing performance a bit.

For the short term, I would ignore convertView, get the rest of getView()
working the way you want, then consider making use of convertView.

Here are a couple of threads on this topic I've contributed to over the
past few months:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/925bd3f4c1c3aefb

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/355d3cdfa1c787b8/2009b42cad4537ce?lnk=gst&q=commonsware#2009b42cad4537ce

List6.java in the ApiDemos in the SDK is one of the closer examples to
this, and I'm sure there are any number of tutorials over on anddev.org
that cover it as well.

And I'll have a series of blog posts out on AndroidGuys about this,
starting Monday. And I'll have a new section on this in version 1.1 of
_The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_, which should be available
to subscribers by August 1st.
