[android-beginners] Cannot get Level-List Drawable to work in ListAdapter
I am attempting to use a level-list. When run, my listview is showing
either nothing or the zero drawable.
I must be doing something wrong - a second set of eyes and a different brain
appreciated.
Here are the particulars ...
level list stored as an star_levels.xml in drawable folder:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
level-list xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
item android:maxLevel=0 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_0 /
item android:maxLevel=1 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_1 /
item android:maxLevel=2 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_2 /
item android:maxLevel=3 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_3 /
item android:maxLevel=4 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_4 /
item android:maxLevel=5 android:drawable=@drawable/stars_5 /
/level-list
image view inside a relative layout:
ImageView
android:id=@+id/rating
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_alignTop=@id/something_else
android:layout_alignParentRight=true
android:layout_marginRight=10dp
android:src=@drawable/star_levels
/
code from Adapter:
@Override
public void setViewImage(ImageView v, String value) {
super.setViewImage(v, value);
if (v.getId() == R.id.rating){
v.setImageLevel(Integer.parseInt(value)); // this returns an
integer - logcat confirms this
}
}
Thanks,
j

[android-beginners] Layout Tabhost with Header?
Hi All, Can someone tell me if its possible to add a header layout over tabs in 1.5? If so, how? When I attempt to nest a TabHost within another layout - things go terribly wrong.

Re: [android-beginners] Layout Tabhost with Header?
Thanks Mark, When I tried nesting inside a layout I got a null pointer exception. I was convinced that the TabHost could not be used within another layout (maybe I was wrong). I figured out a different solution - I replaced the title bar entirely. This is ultimately a better solution for what I was trying to do. j On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 10:35 AM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 10:25 AM, Jason Van Anden robotiss...@gmail.com wrote: Can someone tell me if its possible to add a header layout over tabs in 1.5?

OK. I am an idiot. This was not working for me because I had left-over code in onCreate from something else I tried: //listView.setItemsCanFocus(false); //listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE); In the process I learned an awful lot from Mark Murphy's examples in Fancy Lists section of the Busy Coders Guide ( http://commonsware.com/Android/index.html) and Romain Guy's YouTube presentation here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UApv-ZMJ51g).

When I started ramping up on Android all the XML did seem like a speed bump. It felt a little like forcing people to use CSS from the get-go in order to learn how to code simple web pages.

[android-beginners] Re: A complete newbie
If you have never programmed, you may want to start by learning the basics with Python. It is probably the best language to learn with and it has many things in common with Java. There is a ton of stuff online to get you started. It is not the best language for user interface. Good thing that Android development makes this a lot more straight forward. So, my suggestion ... learn the basics of Python, then start learning Java by playing with Android. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

I am assuming R.id.search_edit is a field in the textEntryView you
supplied to the builder.
In that case, try textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.search_edit).

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity called from non-Activity context - help
Just a shout out ... still no luck. Still frustrated. I have a hunch as to what is happening - but its seems a little nutty. My hunch is that when FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK gets raised, my PendingIntent gets replaced by the standard MAIN/LAUNCHER intent, which is used to activate the application. What I think should happen is that startActivity gets called with the Intent passed as a variable. Mark, your suggestion with the you rang? option does not work in this case since there is no way to tell if the app is being resumed via the Status Bar item or other typical means.

startActivity called from non-Activity context; forcing
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK for: Intent {

It brings the Activity into focus which is half the battle ... thing is, I
have no idea what function to read the intent details from. It does not
call onCreate ... or startActivity.

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity called from non-Activity context - help
Hi Mark,
Thanks Mark ... still stuck tho. The it is the pendingIntent that
is re-activating/restarting the Activity.
Basically, my main Activity starts a Service that continues to run
with or without it. The Service occasionally updates the status bar.
When the user selects the status bar item, it is supposed to bring the
Activity to the foreground and do something based upon the extras sent
with the pendingIntent. Selecting the status bar item works fine, the
Activity moves to the foreground ... the problem is the extras. I
assumed when the Activity was activated it would call onCreate, or
startActivity ... or something else where I could retrieve the extras
from. onResume gets called - but when it gets called, the intent has
changed via LogCat :
Starting activity: Intent { comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs}
(has extras) }
startActivity called from non-Activity context; forcing
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK for: Intent {
comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs} (has extras) }
RESUMED called here!!!
Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN
categories={android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x1020
comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs} }
By the time onResume is called, the intent has changed - so there are
no more extras. This is where either I am totally confused or my
paradigm needs some major shifting.
I really appreciate the help.

You can get the Intent that started your activity via getIntent().
AFAIK, if you are brought forward off the stack via a Notification,
getIntent() will return the Intent from the Notification.
It does not call onCreate ... or startActivity.
I'm not sure what it is in the above sentence.

[android-beginners] Seeking good example ... Notification/PendingIntent
Hi All, I am having trouble tracking down a good example of a Notification that will cause a specific activity to occur when triggered. I am creating the notification from a service which triggers the running Activity when selected. This happen - no sweat. What I would like to do, is have the activity receive the intent and do something specific based upon it. I would appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction ... an example would be incredibly helpful. Thank You, Jason --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Multiple Instances of App Running When Home + Restart
Sure ... ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; package=us.quadrant2.surfacelooptest android:versionCode=1 android:versionName=1.0.0 uses-permission android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE / application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/app_name android:theme=@style/Theme.NoBackground activity android:name=.SurfaceLoopActivity android:label=@string/app_name intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN / category android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER / /intent-filter /activity service android:enabled=true android:name=.SurfaceLoopService /service /application /manifest What is also perplexing is that when onCreate is called (after restart via app icon) its bundle is null (even though save the state). Perhaps this is a clue. Thanks, Jason Van Anden www.smileproject.com On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: robotissues wrote: I am perplexed. I created an app using LunarLander example as its basis. It pauses and resumes in its correct state when the phone rings/hangs up or when leaving/returning via notification. However, when I click the Home button and then click the app's icon, it starts another instance instead (I can tell via debug messages in the draw loop). I suspect that the answer is obvious but somehow something is not clicking. Advice appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: Opening pdf and office file
I still have not come across a descent pdf reader for Android. I would like to find one so I can read Mark's books on the subway (actually). If anyone has a good recommendation ... last I checked the ones in the market are not ready for prime time. i++ On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 8:00 AM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: Pankaj Bisaria wrote: If in Android that component is not available then please tell me how we can open the pdf and MSOffice files.

[android-beginners] Re: Name that service ...
I think I figured it out ... vibrate. I thought that the vibration that occurs when you click on a home icon had a different feel than the standard issue vibrate ... but I guess its just the quickness of the pulse. Hope this helps someone else. i++ On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 5:07 PM, robotissues jason.van.an...@gmail.comwrote: I would like to call the service that makes the phone jump when an icon is selected on the home screen (it does this on the G1 at any rate). Part of the problem is that I have no idea what to call it so I do not know how to find it! Does anyone know if this service is exposed and if so, what is its name? Better yet ... is there a list of the currently available services? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

Thanks for the suggestions. It is working. i++ On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:18 PM, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.comwrote: If you have UMS enabled, you won't be able to play the file.
