[android-beginners] Behaviour of listviews with Custom Rows
Hi,
what i got is 2 listviews which are both subclasses of ListActivity.
One is a simple list with a textview in every row.
The other has some elements in the top, and a list below.
The first and simple row, has its row defnied programmaticly and
selected rows are highlighted.
In the other list i used an XML layout to define the rows layout and
used an inflater to inflate the xml layout. Here, there is noch
highlight on the row when selected, but is should be highlighted.
Maybe anyone has an idea, where to search. Code is below.
Regards,
Daniel
List with highlight working:
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
TripListRowView sv;
if (convertView == null) {
sv = new TripListRowView(this.context, this.trips.elementAt
(position));
} else {
sv = (TripListRowView) convertView;
sv.setTripId(this.trips.elementAt(position).getTripID());
}
return sv;
}
class TripListRowView extends LinearLayout {
TextView tripId = null;
public TripListRowView(Context context, Trip trip) {
super(context);
this.setOrientation(HORIZONTAL);
this.setPadding(0, 5, 0, 5);
tripId = new TextView(context);
tripId.setText("Trip: " + trip.getTripID());
tripId.setTextSize(25.0f);
tripId.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
tripId.setPadding(10, 0, 0, 0);
addView(tripId, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
void setTripId(String tripId) {
this.tripId.setText(tripId);
}
}
Not working list:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tripdetail);
}
the xmlfile for the screen:
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#FF"
android:orientation="vertical">
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:id="@+id/tableLay" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

the xml file for the row:
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FF" android:orientation="vertical">
And the list adapter:

{
LayoutInflater inflater =
(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService
(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View ret = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tripdetailrow, null);

[android-beginners] MyLocationOverlay vs. Service with Locationlistener
Hi, im playing around a little with the Maps-Api and the MyLocationOverlay which draws a point on the map on your current location. At first i was doing this by hand with a normal Overlay and a Service with a LocationListener. Then i found out that MyLocationOverlay is implementing this all natively. Now what if i still wanted to use a LocationListener in a Service. For example i want to have a general-purpose Service for Location- Listening that could also be used for the map, but i also want to use the MyLocationOverlay-Class for showing my position. Does it make sense or would the Listeners interfere each other? Is it possible that MyLocationOverlay should use the LocationService and not the build-in one?

[android-beginners] Re: MyLocationOverlay vs. Service with Locationlistener
Hi Harold This is exactly what I'm doing in MySpeed - http://l6n.org/android/myspeed.shtml There's a MyLocationOverlay which shows the map and a service which does other stuff. Originally I had the other stuff in the MyLocationOverlay, but later decided to move it all out into it's own service and keep the MyLocationOveraly simpler. I don't think you can or want to do what you asked in your last question.

[android-beginners] Layout one horizontal line with two TextViews
Hi, i will go insane in a minute with this problem. What i want to do is to design a layout, with one Textview on the left oft the screen and on Textview on the right of the screen.

My xmlfile: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> So the streetText should be left and the meterialText should be right.

[android-beginners] Re: Remote View setString
Thanks Mark. Yes it is my own view class (like a button). But it works fine in RemoteView as long as I do not attempt to "set" anything in my view class. But one of the parameters in this view class is dynamic and I need to set it from the Remote View (like we do a setText for a button). That is where I am stuck at. I have a public method in my view class which takes a string parameter and I somehow need to call that method through the remote view.

[android-beginners] Returning a value from TabActivity.
Hello, How can I return a value from TabActivity? It seems that the return value from tab pages vanishes and the caller always receives RESULT_CANCELED instead of RESULT_OK. Here is a simple but complete example. http://www.futuredesktop.org/tmp/TabTest.zip Please take some time to study and test it. --- The main activity is Test.java. It starts the TabPage activity with >>> Intent i = new Intent(Test.this, TabPage.class); >>> startActivityForResult(i, Test.MY_CODE); The TabPage activity has 2 tab pages with TabContent1 and TabContent2 activities. The main Test.java [by function onActivityResult(...) ] should receive individual return values from these tab pages, but this fails. Why? The return values is always RESULT_CANCELED.

[android-beginners] Re: Remote View setString
Let us keep aside the fact that I'm using a custom view. Consider a normal case, where I am using an existing Android view, for example AnalogClock class in my layout. Is there anyway I can call a public method of AnalogClock Class through the remote view? I need to dynamically update something in the AnalogClock and that needs to be reflected in the remote view. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks On Oct 1, 1:14 pm, android learner wrote: > Thanks Mark. Yes it is my own view class (like a button).

[android-beginners] Re: Trajectory Calculator
First of all "Royal and Ancient Golf Association" is a pretty awesome name. I looked it up and found they are the authority everywhere except the US and Mexico. But even if you're golfing in Scotland, unless you're playing in a championship, you can check the weather without the royal mounted golf police tackling you. There are many weather web services. For example, here in the colonies we have http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/rest.php . Trajectory just uses a formula, so you could either whip one up yourself, or nicely ask the author of a similar app to help you. "Android Archer" and "Ballistics Calculator" do this calculation, but are not open-source AFAIK.

[android-beginners] Re: Remote View setString
Yes, you can call a public method on widget's views via the remote views as long as it matches signature of 1 of methods that RemoteViews class offers. For example, to set text on the TextView that exists in widget's layout, you can use RemoteViews.setString(R.id.your_view_id, "setText", "your widget text") or RemoteViews.setTextViewText ((R.id.your_view_id, "your widget text"). Both are equal, but first one uses reflection. On Oct 2, 12:04 am, android learner wrote: > Let us keep aside the fact that I'm using a custom view.

[android-beginners] Re: Remote View setString
Thanks Paul. That was helpful. In my case, the public method I'm trying to call, does not match with the signature of any of the methods that RemoteView class offers. I guess that explains the error I get. Is there any way to overcome this limitation? Also, I'd like to know if there is any other way to dynamically set an xml attribute through remote view (where none of the RemoteView methods support setting this attribute) Thanks On Oct 1, 4:47 pm, Paul Turchenko wrote: > Yes, you can call a public method on widget's views via the remote > views as long as it matches signature of 1 of methods that RemoteViews > class offers.

[android-beginners] Re: Free and Paid apps with same code-base???
I found a way that works! And it is simple. A co-worker of mine has this
slogan on his whiteboard: "Do the simplest thing that could possible work."
I have my main app, which contains both free and paid code. I also have an
app that acts as a key to unlock the pro version.
The following code tells me if my main app should be running in free or paid
mode:
public class PaidMode
{
public static boolean isInPaidMode(Context context)
{
String mainAppPkg = ...;
String keyPkg = ...;
int sigMatch = context.getPackageManager.checkSignatures(mainAppPkg,
keyPkg);
return sigMatch == PackageManager.SIGNATURE_MATCH;
}
}
Anywhere I want to have different functionality between modes I can just
call that method.
Hope this helps someone else as well!
Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] Specifying relative positions in Layout?
Hi All, I need to implement a screen containing a list of blocks one below the other. Each block will contain mutiple superimpose elements (Images, text) for which the relative position needs to be specified with respect to the top left corner of the block. For creating the list of blocks i have used listview. For each block i tried to use relative layout.This works ok when the phone is in landscape mode and absolute position is specified relative to left edge of the phone. But when the phone is put in the portrait mode the layout gets distorted. 1) What layout can be used for this scenario? 2) Can relative positions be specified in terms of percentage of screen width/height instead of pixels? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

I'm having another problem with the HelloRelativeLayout tutorial, where no matter what I do the two radio buttons end up aligned on the left side of the screen (not the right) and one on top of the other (not on the same line). Again same thing happens even when I copy and paste the code off the site. Am I missing something here of is it just something to do with the new SDK and Emulator?

[android-beginners] Showing a Toast or Activity on top of another application
Hello,
I have an application which runs a background thread which eventually
updates listeners on some incoming event.
When I'm in this listeners' code, I want to be able to either show a
Toast or a new Activity on top of the screen, regardless of what is
running in this moment - but to be able to come back to it (add on top
of the current stack, even if it's another application).
By now I didn't succeed in doing that in any way.
This is one attempt (inside my listener, which is called from a worker
thread):
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"toast", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
It shows the toast when I am in my original application, but not when
I'm in background.
I put a breakpoint on the line with the toast showing, and I know that
I get there, but it does nothing.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks ahead!

[android-beginners] New app: my NPR
I finally created my first Android app :-D It is called "myNPR". I put it up in the market yesterday. You can view the latest popular articles from NPR.org. Also find and listen to your favorite local radio station live stream, mp3 or podcast. (still working on the podcast part :-p ) I will throw the code up here in a little bit: http://code.google.com/p/mynpr/ I found looking at you alls code helped me a lot more than looking over the api docs. I must say the sdk learning curve wasn't that bad. Although their api documentation needs some serious "quality time" with some writers. Too bad they don't "wiki" the api documentation. The docs would get filled out a lot faster and users could leave comments about different caveats they found. :-) Maybe Google is reading this ?? :-p Check the app out and tell me what you think!

[android-beginners] Google and Android contact information.
Hello, I'm trying to find the best way to contact the right people at either Google or Android. And I'm not sure how to go about it, so maybe someone in here can help me out. Basically this is in regard to the poor implementation and support of the Android OS on the HTC Dream. HTC has a ROM update for this handset which is supposed to fix numerous issues. But the ROM update is only available to Windows users. I run Linux. I have Linpus on my netbook and Ubuntu on my laptop. I don't program or anything like that. I just do my emails, a little word processing and such. I like Linux specifically because it seems pretty simple, reliable, doesn't need replacement every two or three years and doesn't need a never ending subscription to anti-virus/malware/trojan protection schemes. I got the HTC Dream specifically because it synchronizes with my Google account. And this is all I really need. Now, in talking with HTC, or at least their customer service reps who seem to read from the same script manuals, I need to run HTC Sync so that it can back up my contacts and calendar contents to Outlook Express prior to re-flashing the ROM. No matter how many time I tell them that I don't need outlook or outlook express and that my phone already synchronizes with Google, they just repeat the need to have the phone synchronize with outlook. The way I envision this should work is as follows. 1. I go to HTC's website and download the new ROM image. 2. I transfer the ROM image to a specific folder on the SD card of my phone 3. I start a little application on the handset which reflashes the phone with the new image. 4. Prior to starting, the application prompts me to plug the phone in using the AC Adaptor. 5. Once plugged in, the upgrade begins 6. When finished, the phone reboots. 7. I get on with my life. Is my line of thinking wrong? Now, as for the reason that I would like some contact info for both Google and Android. I want to let Google know just how frustrating my experience has been with HTC and how HTC's interaction with this Google customer is actually harming my view of Google's brand name reputation. I know that Google isn't actually building the handset, however they are allowing their name and brand to be used in the marketing of the phone. For Android, which I understand is part of the Open Handset Alliance which both Google and HTC are members of, I would like to inform them that unless HTC changes their pro-windows/anti anything else stance, I will never purchase another device that has anything to do with the Android OS. Android should learn from history what happens when a company goes on their merry way and ignore the wishes of it's customers. look no further than Palm. I've tried finding contact info for Google, but all I get are phone numbers that don't really lead to anywhere. Even the main number 1.650.253. connects to the voice mail from hell. And Google doesn't seem to have much in the way of mail contact. HTC is much the same. They're got plenty of Asian email contacts, but nothing for north america. I've gone through HTC's on line customer support, but they're reading from scripts and nothing more. So ends my little rant, but please, contact info would help. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Re: Free and Paid apps with same code-base???
Do you want to put into Android Market?
As I remember, they use the application namespace as a primary key.
So, you cannot install both of free and paid app in a same phone.

[android-beginners] Re: Free and Paid apps with same code-base???
The market uses the package name. So they can both be put on the market. For example, my app consists of these packages: Main App: com.magouyaware.appswipe Key App: com.magouyaware.appswipe2 Because they have different package names they can both be uploaded to the market.

[android-beginners] Spreadsheet View
I've been trying to make a layout that displays something like a mini spreadsheet that's specialized for my app. I would like it to have headers for both rows and columns. The row header can only pan left and right. The column header can only pan up and down. Hard to explain in words, so I'll try a picture (must be seen in a fixed pitch font): Stays| ... T3 T4 T5 ... --- . Row 3| ... 32 31 7 ... Row 4| ... 17 21 9 ... . If the user pushes the image up the screen, row 3 goes away and row 5 appears but the header row stays. If the user pushes the image to the left, column T3 goes away and column T6 appears and the header column stays. Having the "..." continuation hint would be nice, but is not required. I would also like to be able to have more than 1 header row and column (the ones that stay fixed). The info in the upper left quadrant of the spreadsheet would always stay put. It would be good to have the spreadsheet retain orientation in both landscape and portrait to allow the user to choose if the rows or columns would benefit from more display space. A nice feature would be to let the user resize rows and/or columns. This would be especially helpful for the fixed headers as display space is at a premium. I don't see anything that scrolls right or left nor anything that would scroll both right/left and up/down as would be needed for the lower right quadrant so I'm not even sure where to start. I suspect nothing like this exists as a single view I can simple drop into my xml, but how would I create such a thing by combining other views? Is there some other way through code to do his? I'm new so simple hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Mitch --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
