[android-beginners] Simplistic instructions from Spinner Selection to a Linear Image View?
I know there are multiple snippets of information about multiple
Spinner activities, but I hope mines will be a bit more simplistic in
nature.
What I am trying to do is give a user a selection of planets by means
of a Spinner interface. When user chooses said planet, they will be
directed to a linear layout embedded with the planet's image. [Spinner
- Spinner Array - Spinner Selection - Image]
Here's my java:
package com.test.screen;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;
public class screen2 extends Activity
{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.screen2);
//Begin Spinner Function
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
ArrayAdapterCharSequence adapter =
ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.planets, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource
(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
//New Stuff: Put activity to do when something is selected.
s.setOnItemSelectedListener(
new OnItemSelectedListener()
{--- I'm
currently researching how to implement this flow
public void onItemSelected
(
AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
//How to refer to selected item.
String selectedItemString = parent.getSelectedItem();
}
**
And here's my Array.xml
resources
string-array name=states
itemJupiter/item
itemPluto/item
itemMars/item
itemNeptune/item
itemEarth/item
/string-array
/resources
*
I appreciate any help that can be offered. It goes without saying I am
new, but I humbly ask upon the help of the java/Android gurus.

AsyncTask is Genius programming but in the docs appears to have incomplete information. There's not enough to understand how it works. -- onPreExecute(), invoked on the UI thread immediately after the task is executed. (I think this should be Before the task is executed.) Not all types are always used by am asynchronous task.

[android-beginners] Speech recognizing in final 1.5 cupcake
Hi, In the 1.5 pre SDK there was a speech-recognizing feature in the google search widget, but in the final 1.5 I cannot see the icon beside the normal search button. There only is one icon. Does the 1.5 not have this function, or is it my avd there has the wrong target? I'm developing an application that should recognize speech, but it throws an ActivityNotFoundExeption. Is it not possible to develop using this feature?

[android-beginners] Corner-centric window backgrounds
I'm not sure if this is exactly a beginner question or not, but I'll ask here anyway. What I'm trying to add to my app is a simple background for the common windows. That part is easy enough either through themes or defining a background attribute to the toplevel layouts, but what I'm specifically trying for is a background with a drawing in the lower- right of the window. Now, this is also easy to implement in a sort of brute-force method. That is, make a background the size of the screen that is mostly white and leave it at that. But, that seems sort of a waste of storage space (ignoring the fact that PNG compresses big empty spaces well) and would not scale well if used on a device that doesn't have the 320x480 screen of the G1. Plus, it requires two backgrounds for the G1 regardless, one for portrait and one for landscape. And I can't easily define it in a theme without checking the orientation on each layout and reassigning the theme then based on it (else it scales to the new orientation). So my question is, how hard would it be to make a background I can attach to a theme with a single image in the corner that does not scale with the rest of the single-color background? Would this be a job for a NinePatch (albeit not the job it was meant for)? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] An important thing to know about live folders..
This should really be posted as a comment to Romain's blog post about Live folders: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/live-folders.html But, since comments are disabled (Oh, why?!), I'll have to do it this way.

[android-beginners] Re: An important thing to know about live folders..
Hi, You do not have to delete a live folder to have the onCreate() be called again. You just need to create another live folder on your home screen. You can have as many as you want.

[android-beginners] gridview column size
I am having trouble controlling the size of the columns in my GridView. The first column is only 3-4 chars and the other 4 columns are 5-8 chars. For some reason, all the columns are the same width, leaving a huge amount of spacing after the first column and wrapping the text inside the others. Is there a way, I can set the width of individual columns in the grid view?
