[android-beginners] Android 2.0 - Dim screen programmatically

2009-12-13 Thread eclipsed4utoo
I am wanting to dim the screen of a device from a widget.  Basically
the same way the Power Manager widget for Android 2.0 does.  I have
tried this...


Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, someIntValue);



I have this that works from an application window


WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = (float) (someIntValue/ 255.0);
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);


But this doesn't work from the widget.  Any idea on how to dim the
screen from a widget?

[android-beginners] Changing Widget Layout Programmatically

2009-12-06 Thread eclipsed4utoo
Let's say that I have two layouts for a widget:  Layout1 and Layout2.
The default for the widget is Layout1, but I allow the user to choose
which layout they want the widget to be.  So if the user changes to
Layout2, how do I programmatically change the layout to Layout2?

Thanks

[android-beginners] Removing Widget from Home Screen when Uninstalled

2009-12-06 Thread eclipsed4utoo
When my application is uninstalled, the widget stays on the HOME
screen and gives an error message problem loading widget.  How do I
remove the widget when my application is uninstalled?  Is there an
attribute in the manifest that I am missing?

[android-beginners] AlertDialog from AppWidget

2009-11-15 Thread eclipsed4utoo
Is it possible use the AlertDialog from an AppWidget?  I have code
that works from an Activity, but when I copy that code to work when a
widget is clicked, I get an error that it has stopped unexpectedly.

Is it possible?  or do I need to do something different?  I want to
display an option box to allow the user to choose from a few options.

[android-beginners] Re: R cannot be resolved

2009-11-11 Thread eclipsed4utoo
If you are using Eclipse as your IDE, put the cursor on the R and hit
Ctrl + Shift + O (the letter O).  That will automatically add the
needed import statement.

[android-beginners] Android 2.0 - Starting Service/App when core app starts

2009-11-11 Thread eclipsed4utoo
Is it possible to create a service that starts when the camera
software starts?  I have looked into services and I am still reading
on them, but I wanted to know if it is possible to start a service
when a core application is started/opened, and stop the service when
that core application is stopped/closed.

Thanks,
