Re: [android-beginners] What is R.java
On this note, I was wondering: when exactly is R.java updated? Here are some cases that have caused confusion for me. - I add a new file in the res/layout folder. R.java is NOT updated with my new xml file. I perform a CLEAN on the project and then... - I delete a file such that main.xml is the only file remaining. R.java IS updated! - I delete a file after having added two -- that is, main.xml is not the only file remaining. R.java is NOT updated. Any ideas? I especially am interested in making the R.java file pointing to the newly added xml files (case 1 of the three in my list). -Danny On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 7:23 PM, joshua hublar joshua.m.hub...@gmail.comwrote: Android considers XML-based layouts to be resources, and as such layout files are stored in the res/layout directory inside your Android project. Each XML file contains a tree of elements specifying a layout of widgets and their containers that make up one view hierarchy. The attributes of the XML elements are properties, describing how a widget should look or how a container should behave. For example, if a Button element has an attribute value of android:textStyle = bold, that means that the text appearing on the face of the button should be rendered in a boldface font style. Android’s SDK ships with a tool (aapt) which uses the layouts. This tool should be auto- matically invoked by your Android tool chain (e.g., Eclipse, Ant’s build.xml). Of particular importance to you as a developer is that aapt generates the R.java source file within your project, allowing you to access layouts and widgets within those layouts directly from your Java code.

It seems to store IDs in static variables like R.layout etc. It looks like this is Android's way of keeping track of predefined UI elements in the Manifest file. Is it possible to access Views created during runtime using the same class R? Regards, UE. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] How to debug
Hi, I am able to write basic android applications now. Thanks for all your help. However, when there are certain runtime issues, I cannot detect them using simulator. There is one msg that says Unexpectedly shutdown (I also see this for alarm clock and other apps sometimes - though I cannot figure out why?). How to run android apps in debug mode to see where the issue is? Regards UE. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

RE : [android-beginners] Re: How to debug
How do you launch usually ? Try right clicking on the bug, near the green arrow, and then select android app. Yoann Katchourine, from my phone.

[android-beginners] Launching an application from a URL
Hi all, I would like to be able to launch an application using a URL. I noticed that content providers allow http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html you to declare a URL like format. Is it possible to launch these using a link in a browser or email client? Thanks, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!
