[android-beginners] Re: Prevent uninstallation of app?

Well, for starters, what if you had some sort of security app that you
don't want a thief or malicious non-user to uninstall...?

 If you, however' are thinking of a different exmaple, please

[android-beginners] Add calendar item through Intent?

2010-03-19 Thread Sven Jacobs
Hi all,

I'm developing an app that displays a list of events and would like to know
if there's any standard way to add an item to the (Google) calendar,
preferably by sending an Intent? I'm developing for Android 1.5.

Thanks for any hint!

Sven

 Hi,

 What you want to do is to open a HttpURLConnection to the URL
 specified, and then open an OuputStream towards that connection. Then
 you open an InputStream from the File you want to send, and transfer
 the data from the File InputStream to the Http OutputStream. Easy as

[android-beginners] Populating an embedded ScrollView/ListView with ArrayList data

2010-03-19 Thread Mark Freeman
Hey everyone. I have a search screen that connects to an external
webservice, parses the xml, and returns an ArrayListCustomer of
objects. My Customer class defines a toString() method.  I am stuck at
the point of actually being able to populate an embedded ListView on
the Activity.

My goal is to have the user enter a search string, hit the search
button, then display the list. I have two questions.

1. How can I tell the soft-keyboard to stop displaying after the user
hits the search button/
2. How can I populate the List and make it display?

I have the code for the activity and the layout xml file here;
http://pastebin.com/5g7TSrxX

Thank you in advance for any advice!

As an update to this, I tried calling:

in place of:

Still no dice.

Put your objects directly into the Adapter instead of a separate list. Your
separate list of objects is redundant and unnecessary.

Hi Wahib,

well, it's an app where you can search for parties and events. At the moment
the app is limited to events from Germany, though. Nevertheless you can try
it out if you like. It's now in the market under the name Partymensch.

A calendar feature is planned for a future release.

[android-beginners] Failure in ActivityLaunch

2010-03-19 Thread Chris Ross


  I'm having a failure to even run my app of late.  I switched from  
running an activity, that starts a service (intended for only local  
use), to instead use an AsyncTask to perform the background processing  
(network load) I needed.


  The failure I'm seeing according to the debugger looks like an OS- 
level failure, presumedly due to something I've screwed up.  I've seen  
this sort of thing before, when I'd forgotten something in my  
manifest.xml, but I've looked at that a few times and don't know what  
I might've done.


  Any suggestions as to what I should look at?  I took the onCreate  
of my Activity and stubbed it out so it calls super, sets the view,  
then returns.  I'm still getting a failure to launch, so I think it's  
*not* in my java code, but as of now, that I've removed the service, I  
only have the one main activity, so my manifest is pretty basic.


  Any thoughts appreciated.  If I can provide any useful details, I'd  
be happy to.


   - Chris

  I thought about that, but is an AsyncTask a new activity?  I'd  
assumed not.  If that's the issue, then I was just misunderstanding  
what an AsyncTask was, and I can try to google around to figure out  
how to add it.


  I was under the impression that I had only the one Activity, but  
that it spawned background threads away from the U/I thread, that  
didn't need to be tracked in the manifest...

Oh no, sorry, I misread your post. Thought you were adding a new Activity.

In this case, again, posting the actual error you're getting is the best way
to figure out what's wrong. What does the debugger / logcat output tell you?

TextView QuestionView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.QuestionText);
QuestionView.setText(Question);

No matter how I construct (at least, as I can think of it) the text of the
string to pass as a parameter to the value of Question, I end up with
problems.

At this point I absolutely need to be able to choose an arbitrary string
from strings.xml, with the specific set of strings to follow.

Any help would be appreciated.  Yes I know a database *might* be simpler,
but I cannot figure out the proper code to make this work either.  The ONE
tutorial on the subject leaves out critical information.  I really need help
on this.

Thanks

Ben
