[android-beginners] Load progressive ListView

[arnouf]

Hi all,

I've a ListActivity. Data are provided by a Thread calling a URL to
load data from a database. The URL returns data from position x to x
+5 . the x value is sent by my application indicating the position of
the last displayed item.

Now I would like to know, how can I detect when user is on the last
record displayed in my ListView. This can give information to recall
my URL with the new x.

I tried to implement it in my ArrayAdapter.getView() method, testing
the getPosition() and myArray length...It works well but everytime!

This should work like GMail app for example (you have 50 last
discussions loaded by default and if you go down after these 50, a new
loading is done).

What is the good solution?

Big thanks by advance for your help.

Arno

Hi, now I have a new problem. My xml file looks like:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";

android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/unten"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">












I want, that the picture is on the lift side of the TextView, but the
TextView is below the picture?? But the layout_width of the Text- and
ImageView is "wrap_content"!?! And if i try to change the LinearLayout
(ID: unten) in a RelativeLayout, i don't see the MapView. What can i
done??

[android-beginners] Google calendar API still not available?

[BGH]

I am thinking of writing a widget that would create a calendar entry
in the users calendar.

>From what I have been reading it isn't possible to use the phone's
login authentication with the gdata APIs (which aren't even designed
to be used with Android anyway). I don't want to ask the user for
their password to create a calendar entry.

Am I correct in assuming this?

I do not know if it is "good", but this is what I wrote to handle this
situation:

One of these days, I will cobble together enough time to add more
documentation and a blog post about this...

[android-beginners] Re: ExpandableList With ContextMenu

[Steve]

Check for the item that is selected (in onCreateContextMenu).  If it's
a group item, then don't make a context menu for it.  If it's a child
item, then make the context menu.

[android-beginners] Re: TabHost problem with designing Tabs

[Steve]

Have you tried using a TabActivity, then you don't have to use a
layout XML file for the tabhost.  Each tab calls its own intent, and
that activity can use its own layout file.

Not sure if that fixes your exact issue, but then you won't have to
worry that you are messing up your overall layout of the tabs, or the
other tab.  You can focus just on the one tab that is giving you
trouble.

[android-beginners] [android-beginners]How to change text in a XML-defined text view

Hey,
Lets say i define in the layout.main a text view but i want to change the
text during the execution of the application. How can i 'call' the view in

[android-beginners] startActivity() crash...

[Tikoze]

Here is the code that I am using to bring a "running" activity
to the foreground:

ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo task = getTask(idx);
if (task != null)
{
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName(task.topActivity.getPackageName(),
task.topActivity.getClassName());
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

try
{
m_context.startActivity(intent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)
{
Toast.makeText(m_context, "Unable to launch
activity...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

}

- Crash Scenario 1:
Switching to any task in the list of running task that has started
another activity (i.e. task.topActivity and task.baseActivity are
different) causes a crash.  I have tried the code above using both
task.topActivity and task.baseActivity but the results are the same...
force close.

- Crash Scenario 2:
Switching to specific tasks always causes a force close.  For example,
when I try to switch to the Calendar Task when it is "running" my
program always crashes.  However, I can successfully switch to Google
Maps, Home, Browser, and most others.

I have been unable to find any information about these issue anywhere
in google groups or on the internet...

[android-beginners] Align Bottom

[Dolphin]

I'm trying to align a button to the bottom of the frame and can't make
it happen.
I tried:
1.android:layout_alignBottom
or
2. android:layout_gravity="bottom"
(this is not a landscape view)

The button keeps  apearing on the Top margins of the main frame.

What do I miss ?
Thanks.

Hi, i m new to android. I am trying to create custom component.
developer wil use this component just like any other component like
textview or editText in his layout.xml file. I want this component to
be created and rendered by java file only. No layout xml is used. i am
not sure whether to extend my class to View or ViewGroup or some
layout and then add say textview and/or edittext. i tried by extending
to View class but faced many problems in adding simple textVIew to it.

I am pasting following code. Problem with it is. I can see red square

   this.moContext = context;
   initForm();
   }

   @Override

[android-beginners] Re: Can we develop application for CECT G1(Clone g1)?

[Xu]

The G1/G2/G2+ are neither produced nor branded by CECT and are not
Android phones. Sometimes the brand "Sciphone" is attributed
to these phones.

This link might be a bit more useful:

[android-beginners] Re: Does the camera app work on the emulator?

[bianconeri]

Hi Mark,

I am pretty new to Android.

A question related to a real Android phone: I am keen to do some
development on Android and experiment with a real android phone. Here
in Australia, I am going to sign a HTC Magic (G2). What I am wondering
is that whether I will be able to build my own app and test it on the
real G2 straightaway once I do the purchase? Is there any app
distribution fee involved (Not Android market, just my own phone)?

Thanks very much for advice!

Alex

[android-beginners] How to localize (translate) android core

[Mattias]

I found some internationalization documents, but none about how to
localize android core applications, where to send translated files and
how to test the brand new localization out in virtual machine. Maybe I
just overlooked something.

Also, would it be possible to test it out on a normal G1 or would one
need developer phone to test the translation.

Thanks in advance
Mattias

can I edit a value in strings.xml from my main java program or make it

[android-beginners] How to get started with Android programming from scratch? Is it worthwhile to buy a HTC Magic?

[bianconeri]

Hi all,

I've just downloaded Android SDK 1.5 and finished Eclipse
configuration with ADT. So you can say I am very new to this exciting
platform.

Could anybody please direct me to the correct path to get started to
code with Android?

I am going to buy a HTC Magic with Three (Melboourne, Australia). I
wonder if I can deploy my application on the real device for testing
straightaway? Is there anything I need to do before I can do that
apart from purchasing it, is the device open for development?

I am keen to do some development on Android but I can't actually
afford a HTC Magic if it just works as a common mobile phone and
cannot be used for development.

Appreciate any suggestion!!!

[android-beginners] Extremely LONG Emulator load time on Eclipse Galileo and Vista

With Eclipse Galileo, the latest SDK 1.5_r3, ADT plugin and Vista OS,

Eclipse Android Console displays:
[2009-08-17 16:33:22 - HelloAndroid] Android Launch!
[2009-08-17 16:33:22 - HelloAndroid] adb is running normally.

[2009-08-17 16:33:23 - HelloAndroid] Waiting for HOME

On the Emulator page, it keeps showing "ANDROID_" and nothing
further...

I am just wondering if there is any step I was missing to make it
startup properly? I did just following the User Guide...

Could anybody give me a hint? Appreciate it!!

[android-beginners] Linking with a custom View class

[Shachar Shemesh]

Hi all,

I have created a custom View class. I would now like to be able to 
create instances for it from other applications, so that they will use 
it as if it's one of the built in classes. In other words, I want to 
create the dalvik equivalent of a shared object. I want other 
applications to be able to write "import my.domain.and.class.name;". If 
I can even make them write it in the Layout resource file, even better.

What is the best way to go about doing it?

Shachar

[android-beginners] Program Dependant XML Values

[Surge]

Ok, so I'm not really sure how to ask this. I currently have two
Activities lets say one contains a ListView L and the other contains a
TextView, and both are defined in an XML file. how would I change the
contents of T to whatever object in L is selected? or in short, how do/
can I edit a value in strings.xml from my main java program or make it
equal to another value which may be changing?

[android-beginners] Taking control of UI

[hstdev]

Hi

I am new to Android. Just started with Hello activity program(1.5 R3
SDK).

I am planning to write an application which can take complete control
of UI.
including:

Incoming Call indication, Incoming SMS indication,  etc. etc.

Is there any mechanism in Android to control the default UI
behaviour??

Like there must be some listener to track the incoming call, but then,
can I restrict the incoming call indication
and show my own screen? Similarly for other scenarios.


Thanks in advance.

Best Regards
hstdev

[android-beginners] Updating a map intent

[JD]

Hi,
I have a basic Google Maps app within which I'd like to show some
dynamically generated KML from a server. So I use an intent and a Uri
like this:
 Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
 Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://www.example.com/
dynamic.kml");
 mapIntent.setData(uri);
 startActivity(Intent.createChooser(mapIntent, "Sample
Map"));

And it works fine. But what I would like to do is to poll the server
at regular intervals to get the latest data. How do I go about
"refreshing" activity so it reconnects to the server?

I've created a thread that periodically calls the code above, but it
only updates the first time.

-JD

Step #1: Set up a separate project for your reusable component, perhaps
with a sample or demo application.

Step #2: Create an API for your reusable component that accepts all
resources as parameters, since resources are tied to the APK.

Step #3: Create an Ant task, Eclipse...ummm...thingamajig, or shell
script/batch file to create a JAR file with just your compiled classes.

Step #4: Distribute the JAR file, or upload the whole thing to github.

You can take a look at some of my CWAC components for examples of this
process:

Totally confused.

I actually came across the "PlatformLibrary" sample and readme, as well 
as a lot of googling while waiting for the moderator to approve my first 
email to the list. I came up with "you need to place the JAR with a 
classes.dex in /system/framework and /etc/permissions" solution, which 
pretty much requires you to compile inside the android source tree. Now 
you are telling me I need to compile it completely outside the source 
tree. Like I said - confused.

Once the JAR is created, how do I link an application with it? How do I 
make sure it has access to the code during run time? A regular JAR has 
.class files, which need translation before they can run on Dalvik.

That is for modifying the firmware. If you are looking to create a
reusable component for Android SDK applications, that is not what you want.

> Once the JAR is created, how do I link an application with it?

For building from Ant, you drop the JAR in the libs/ directory of the
project.

For building from Eclipse, you drop the JAR in the libs/ directory of
the project, then do whatever it is you normally do in Eclipse to tell
it about another JAR to link to.

Android's build process handles this.

[android-beginners] Re: 'm trying to align a button to the bottom of the frame

[Megha]

Is this view inside a RelativeLayout or is it in a LinearLayout?
android:layout_alignBottom is used align the bottom edge of your view
with anchor view within RelativeLayout whereas android:layout_gravity
is used for LinearLayout. You could also use
android:layout_alignParentBottom within a RelativeLayout to align your
view at the bottom of the parent view.
Please see:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/LinearLayout.LayoutParams.html

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...

[Tikoze]

Roman,

For most applications, my code works and will actually switch
applications.  I have tested it on both 3rd party apps and built-in
ones.  For example, it will switch to Maps, Browser, Camera, and
Home.  I should have mentioned that in my original post.

However, if I try to switch to Calendar, or any app that has started
another activity, I get a crash.

I have the following permissions defined in my Manifest:
- GET_TASKS
- REORDER_TASKS
- SET_PROCESS_FOREGROUND

I do not know how to get the logcat trace of the crash, but will
gladly post it if you can tell me how to get it.

However, I have run it in the debugger.  The crash always happens when
I step into m_context.startActivity(intent).  In Eclipse I a new tab
labeled "ViewRoot.handleMessage(Message) line:1583" opens up when it
crashes.  Inside the tab is a line in red that reads "Source not
found" and a button labeled "Edit Source Lookup Path..."

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] How to use requestLocationUpdates to sample GPS based on time only?

[Jean-Sebastien Stoezel]

Hi,

I would like to use requestLocationUpdates to periodically get a GPS
fix, not based on the actual distance covered.

If I specify the following arguments:
- m_LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates("network", 6, 0, this):
requestLocationUpdates is called more than every 6ms. I believe
this is because the min distance covered is 0. This does not work for
me as I want to get updates every minute.
- m_LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates("network", 6, 100,
this): will not return every 6ms unless the subject has moved for
at least 100m.

How to use this function so I get updates only based on elapsed time,
not distance covered?

Thanks,
Jean

Any idea why this happens?

[android-beginners] Re: How To Delete An Item In ListView

[MMC2]

MessageHi Eric,

The documentation including the books, is so frustrating in the lack of 
help and explanation at times. What you need to do is insert and delete your 
items into the holder of your data and then display it in the listview. This 
might be an array, or as in my case a table in an SQLite database. I use a 
simplecursoradapter and call a cursor of all items and link this to the listview

myCursor = myAdapter.getAllItemsCursor(); 

String[] fromColumns = new String[] { myAdapter.field1, myAdapter.field2, 
myAdapter.KEY_ID };

int[] toMyLayout = new int[] { R.id.f1, R.id.f2, R.id.id_store };


final SimpleCursorAdapter   mySimpleCursorAdapter = new 
SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.mylayout, myCursor, fromColumns, toMyLayout);

myListView.setAdapter(mySimpleCursorAdapter );



Field1 is displayed in f1 and field2  in f2. I was putting KEY_ID into id_store 
hoping to retrieve it and use it in deleting an item later as required, but I 
cannot retrieve the text of the textview for the item that has been selected in 
the listview.  So I set up an array of ids with the index of the array being 
the same as the position of the item in the listview.

Then you can add an item to the database table and delete an item from the 
database table and update the listview to show the current contents.

Good luck and I hope that this has been of some help



Mike

[android-beginners] 3 icons for one app

[tinyang]

I am developing an app and so far it has 3 complete acticities.  For some
reason, everytime I install it and run it in my emulator, it creates an icon
for each activity instead of creating only one activity for the app.  Is
this because I have intents in my manifest for each activity?  Can anyone
advise me as to why this is happening and how to fix it?  Thanks.

I think I understand why the confusion. I believe you are talking about 
statically linking, while I'm talking about dynamically linking.

My library might grow quite big and will be used by several programs 
(distinct programs), and I do not want it to load multiple times. Your 
solution would link the library into the APK, which means that if I use 
it in two programs, it will be loaded into memory twice.

[android-beginners] A Google Maps App

[Maxood]

I want to write an app involving Google Maps API. I want my user to
enter the name of a place where he is in a textbox and then enters the
name of his desired destination in another textbox. Once he clicks the
button after that, the required map gets displayed.

I have 2 questions here:

Is it possible to make such an app on android?

I guess the android can auto-detect where the user is..am i correct?

Thank you,
Maqsood

[android-beginners] API Demo's tests

[raj.10788]

Hi,

I am having the G1 Dev Device with me. I updated that device with the
Android 1.5 (As per the instructions given in the HTC support page).
After that I just installed the API demos in the Android 1.5 r3 SDK.
After that I am trying to run the instrumentation test cases in the
API Demos.

I am trying to exeute this command, But, I am not succed with that.
Here is the command and errors.


C:\Documents and Settings\rajendra>adb shell am instrument -w \ -e
class com.example.android.apis.os.MorseCodeConverterTest \
com.example.android.api
s.tests/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: Error=Unable to find instrumentation info for:

   am start -D INTENT
   am broadcast INTENT
   am instrument [-r] [-e  ] [-p ]

   INTENT is described with:
[-a ] [-d ] [-t ]
[-c  [-c ] ...]
[-e|--es   ...]
[--ez   ...]
[-e|--ei   ...]
[-n ] [-f ] []

This command I found in the AllTests.java file which is inside the
APIdemos project. Can anyone give me pointers or suggestions how to
begin witht he instrumations in Android 1.5 and how to run the
samples.

I was running these successful ni Android 1.1 and 1.0


Thanks
