im passing information from this editText into a database.  Ive
already limited it to 2 characters and numbers only in the xml file,
but i need to run a check to fill its defaults to 0 if nothing is
entered.  I could set its default to 0, but then my hint text would
show up.  Could someone give me a hand with this?

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[niko20]

I dont understand why everyone makes this so complicated.

First of all, this is a phone, you don't want to be using tons of data
structures. There is nothing wrong with some global variables/
functions.

If you want to store data that will be shared between activities, just
simply use a static class with all static methods. Then you don't need
a singleton or anything else fancy. It will act as a global reference,
with the benefit of having its own namespace too.

There is no need to do all this fancy programming stuff when you are
writing for an embedded device! Master View Controller is way
overboard! Just do code to get the job done (but still clean code of
course). Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. Or
even if it's "recommended" that it's the best way to do it, especially
on a mobile platform. Windows C++ programming techniques are not
really portable to this platform.

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[Paul Turchenko]

Another way you can use to share common data between activities is
having it in the Application's instance. Just create your own
Application - derived class, tell Android via manifest to use it and
you can easily access it from any context. Say you have MyApplication
extending Application, then (after specifying that in manifest) you
can access your MyApplication's instance via (MyApplication)
getApplication() call from any of your activities. Perhaps the
singleton pattern is more handy in your design, but just consider this
approach FYI.

ahI've not been deep into linux, and i have no sense on how to
handle linux gui, and I think it's pretty easy once you know how to
hookup ICON interface.
the aapt source is there and open :D

I'll keep update when I'm doing research aapt tool. :D

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[vchris80]

thanks, I feel a bit over complicate and bug-prone to manage views
manually via setContentView, so I simply changed the architecture,
putting the common classes of interest in a singleton (luckily this
solution fits with my app design). This way I can decouple the
activities and keep a common business class, leaving Android manage
the views.

If you are more specific about what the 3+ buttons are supposed to do,
we may be able to suggest alternatives.

To answer your question, setContentView is needed with ActivityGroup.

[android-beginners] Re: How to extract ICON from an APK file?

[KK]

actually, the code of extraction icon is inside aapt which is from
base package of android source code.
I create a .net dll to display icon in explorer, for now, I easily
include aapt.exe into resorce, extract it and run it when needed.
I will transform the code into native .net language (hopefully)...

try it if you are interested.

Have you tried using StartActivityForResult then calling the myfunction
() in an override of onActivityResult?

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[vchris80]

hi james, thanx for reply. I try to explain what I want to achieve.

It is actually very simple, but maybe I am walking on the wrong path
since I "think in the Windows way" other than in the "Android way" :)

My app is a window with 3 buttons (can't use tab since the buttons
will increase in the future and since this is a porting from other
platform and I have to follow the same UI guidelines as far as
possible). Each button launch an activity and needs a reference to the
main activity (parent) in order to use some common utility classes.

I thought to do so by implementing the main activity as an
ActivityGroup (thank to you first suggestion) and launch each child
activity by getLocalActivityManager().startActivity() as I said in the
previous post. But, as said, this doesn't update the screen with the
new activity view. I have to explicitly call setContentView and put
the child activity view (obtained by getDecorView()). Is this the
right way or am I doing a mess? Then, when I finish() the child I
restore the old view.

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[James Yum]

Hi,
I'm still not sure what you're trying to achieve. Are you really trying to
embed an activity within another? You can look at the TabActivity source for
a pretty clean example:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/app/TabActivity.java;h=033fa0c8bf87b50f9400e457f64141d7ebad221a;hb=HEAD

The mistake is in the following lines of code: 

LinearLayout main = (LinearLayout)
AndroidTest.this.findViewById(R.layout.main);


Your layout is not called R.layout.main, that is a reference to the
whole layout file. Give the layout an id like so: 

"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/layout_main"			<-- add this line
>



Then call:
LinearLayout main = (LinearLayout)
AndroidTest.this.findViewById(R.id.layout_main);

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[vchris80]

thank for your reply, but I still have some troubles:

now I have my main activiy been a ActivityGroup and the child activity
been a simple Activity.

I start the child with this code:

Intent startIntent = new Intent(MyMainActivity.this,
ChildActivity.class);
getLocalActivityManager().startActivity("and.mypackage.ChildActivity",
startIntent);

this way, in the onCreate of the child activity, I can get the parent
and the activity results child of something by calling isChild()
method. Fine. But the screen actually doesn't appear. The
documentation of startActivity of LocalActivityManager says that "The
caller needs to take care of adding this window to a view hierarchy",
but I can't figure out how to do that. I watched the WindowManager for
a suitable method but with no luck.

[android-beginners] Re: How to display List in homescreen app widget ?

[Justin Anderson]

AFAIK, you can only use views supported by RemoteViews.  You might consider
using a live folder (not sure if that is exactly what it is called but that
is what Docs To Go calls it) instead, since that allows you to display a
list when you open the folder.

Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] Re: How to add external jar without Eclipse?

[jotobjects]

use "android create project" to create the build script and directory
tree and put your jar files in the libs directory that is created.
The ant script will package the classes in your jars with the
application. One thing to watch out for is whether any of your jared
classes have dependencies (such as J2SE classes that are not part of
the Android runtime).

[android-beginners] Re: how to drop call???

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

Could you rephrase your question?

If you want to drop programmatically a call, you cannot do this
"officially" with the Android SDK.

If you try to get the duration of a call, try to capture Call state
changes.

In the AndroidManifest.xml file, both of your activities probably have
an  element that looks like:






That tells Android to put an icon in the Launcher for that activity.
Remove that  from any activity that is not supposed to be
in the Launcher.

[abhi]

Thank you, Balwinder. But I just have a string for the name of the
song and so, its not possible to get the ID for it using: .

Please find my code below:

String songFile =  "NameOfSong.mp3";
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(songFile); //This is not working
since I don't have the entire path to the music file which is stored
inside the .APK file

Maybe I am using a wrong approach here.

[android-beginners] Re: How to use the Network Manager?

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

Based on your preferred interface list, I would first do a scan on
Wifi. Look for open Wifi networks to connect without security codes.
Otherwise open a dialog that the user can enter the security
information for the secured network.

If no Wifi network is available turn off Wifi which automatically
triggers to connect to cellular data. Have a broadcast receiver
implemented to check for network changes. When you receive a network
change you can use the code below to find out what your actual network
is.

To find out about your current connection:

ConnectivityManager connection =  (ConnectivityManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connection.getActiveNetworkInfo();
Log.d(TAG,"type:"+networkInfo.getTypeName());

To connect to a wifi network you have to create a WifiConfiguration.
After adding your configuration to the WifiMgr with

   mWifiMgr.addNetwork(wifiConfiguration);

you can connect to the network with

boolean successConnected = mWifiMgr.enableNetwork(inetId, true);

In your broadcast receiver you should receive an intent about the
network status change.

The hint for needing permission in the manifest is whenever using

[android-beginners] Re: How to find permissions required

[jbrohan]

I've found that there is an error reported in the logcat which is
quite clear about a missing permission. Just keep going and look at
the logcat output.

Be sure to scroll down on that page: using

[android-beginners] Re: how to load the related Bitmap according to input

[I82Much]

I suppose you could also do something like

int[] iconRefs = {
R.drawable.pic_1,
...
R.drawable.pic_n
}

if (input >= 0 && input < n) {
// Account for 0 based indexing
return iconRefs[input - 1];
}

This code gets the reference out (I might be wrong in how you
reference it, maybe R.res.drawable, don't have my eclipse handy);
you'd have to use the standard way of actually getting that drawable
image.

[android-beginners] Re: how to load the related Bitmap according to input

[I82Much]

I take it you're looking for something a little more scalable than the
naive solution:

switch (input) {
case 1:
return R.drawable.pic_1;
. . .
case n:
return R.drawable.pic_n;
}

I see the problem; you need to append an arbitrary number to the end
of a string, and then turn that into the R.drawable. ___ reference.
I'm stumped

What exactly are you trying to do with this icon?

You can get the icon of an installed application on your phone via
PackageManager.getActivityIcon() or PackageManager.getApplicationIcon().

[android-beginners] Re: how to keep an application awake

[James Yum]

Hi Martin,
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html

Please
note this warning:

*"Device battery life will be significantly affected by the use of this API.
* Do not acquire WakeLocks unless you really need them, use the minimum
levels possible, and be sure to release it as soon as you can."

And I do think you'll want to use a Service.

James

It's not even just a 9-patch. It is a StateListDrawable of many 9-patch
images (regular, pressed, focused, selected, disabled, etc.).

[android-beginners] Re: How to receive callback when press and hold button for a longer time.

[Alexander Kazanin]

Now I see. I will suggest a following solution. Suppose we have an
activity. Lets create a handler. Than add to our "channel up" button
View.OnTouchListener. Each time user presses the button, we will
increase channel number and send a message to handler with FIRST_DELAY
delay time. And when user releases button we will tell handler to
dispose all of the queued messages. Handler, on it's part, will
receive a message, increase channel, and send a message to itself with
delay CONT_DELAY. Generally this two delays can be the same, but I
think user will be more comfortable if automatic channel switching
starts in a while, not immediatly. So this piece of mind above can be
expressed in the following code:

public class ChannelSwitcherActivity extends Activity
{
private static final long FIRST_DELAY = 500;
private static final long CONT_DELAY = 200;

private static final int MESSAGE_INCREASE_CHANNEL = 1;

private Handler switchHandler = new Handler()
{
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message message)
{
if( MESSAGE_INCREASE_CHANNEL == message.what )
{
channelUp();
sendEmptyMessageDelayed( 
MESSAGE_INCREASE_CHANNEL, CONT_DELAY);
}
}
};

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
super.onCreate(bundle);

final Button btn = (Button)findViewById( R.id.channel_up_btn);
btn.setOnTouchListener( new View.OnTouchListener()
{
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event)
{
if( view instanceof Button )
{
if( MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN == 
event.getAction() )
{
channelUp();

switchHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed( MESSAGE_INCREASE_CHANNEL,
FIRST_DELAY);
return true;
}
else if( MotionEvent.ACTION_UP == 
event.getAction() )
{
switchHandler.removeMessages( 
MESSAGE_INCREASE_CHANNEL);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
}

private void channelUp()
{
//this is where you place your logic to increase channel by one
position
}
}

Hope this helps.

[android-beginners] Re: How to receive callback when press and hold button for a longer time.

[Shude Zheng]

Hi, Alexander,

Thank you. I have not describe the question clearly.

I want change the channel by pressing button. But press button once and the
callback is called once. The channel only one channel up. But I want to
change more channels. So I press the button and hold it. The callback will
call a function change_channel(1). This function will increase the channel
for every 0.2s. When user release the button the button state is changed
again so the callback will kill the change_channel(0) and stop the channel
change.

I found OnFocusChangeListener did not work for pressing and hold of button.
It only works when cursor moving by direction key.

[android-beginners] Re: How to receive callback when press and hold button for a longer time.

[Alexander Kazanin]

Hi.

If I understood your intentions correctly you should set
OnLongClickListener.
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.*channel_up*);

button.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnLongClickListener()
{
public boolean onLongClick(View view)
{
return false;
}
});

method onLongClick in this anonymous class will be called when user
presses and holds "cannnel_up" button for about 2 seconds

That's not out of the question. HTC contributes lots of code to Android.
Whether or not this is considered truly part of "HTC Sense" would
probably dictate whether HTC offered it to the core Android team.

[mjc147]

I'll refrain from saying "Wow, thanks Mark!" because you probably get
that all the time :)

I just looked at a bunch of apps that came with the Hero and the only
one other than the Market using this cross, is Google Maps. I couldn't
see anything like that in Internet, People, Mail, Google Talk or
Messages apps.

Out of interest, my EditText is single line so when the text is longer
than the width of the widget it simply scrolls away to the left as you
would hope/expect. In other words, there is no reshifting of the cross
- when using the code I posted previously.

In the Market app, when you press on the cross, it changes to a
lighter shade of grey giving you the chance to drag away (and so
cancel).

I think its a really nice way of allowing the user to clear the text,
so if you do make a canned widget, I'm sure it will be hugely popular.

Here's wishing they add a flag to EditText in 2.0...

Possibly, now that you sent the screenshot (thanks!). BTW, what you are
seeing may be part of the HTC Sense UI -- it's certainly not what you
get in ordinary Android.

Regardless, here is how I would proceed to try to get this to work:

Step #1: Keep your current Drawable code, but replace your X with a 100%
transparent image of the same size. There might be a better way to
accomplish this step, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.
Basically, I am guessing that if you type a lot into that field on your
Hero, the text does not wind up under the X, so you need a placeholder
to keep the text to the left.

Step #2: Wrap your EditText in a RelativeLayout. Put whatever layout
rules you presently have on the EditText (layout_width, etc.) on the
RelativeLayout, and set the EditText to be fill_parent/fill_parent for
width/height.

Step #3: In the same RelativeLayout, *after* the EditText in the XML,
add an ImageView with your X, with layout_alignParentLeft="true" and
enough paddingRight to have it positioned properly. RelativeLayout, like
FrameLayout, supports "vertically" stacking widgets, so by having your
ImageView be after the EditText in the XML, it will "float" over the
EditText and be visible/touchable.

Step #4: Add an OnTouchListener to the ImageView in your code.

A variation on this approach would be to use the X image in Step #1 and
a transparent View in Step #3. This is the old "hot-spot" trick from a
byegone programming era -- a background provides the image and you have
something floating over top where things are touchable. If you specify a
View with background=#, it should be invisible, and if you
size/position it properly, it will sit over top your X. It's a bit more
difficult to debug, though you could temporarily use a translucent
background (say, #22FF for a slight red effect) until you get the
hot-spot positioned properly.

These approaches have the advantage of avoiding the OnTouchListener
calculations you are doing in the EditText, which might have problems if
EditText changes behavior in future releases. On the other hand, these
approaches add a few more widgets and therefore take up a bit more memory.

If the X appears to actually "click" when tapped on your Hero, then they
may be using an ImageButton with a custom set of backgrounds rather than
an ImageView. That is also possible to implement independently but gets
decidedly more painful.

Once I get my hands on an HTC Sense-ible device, I may try to cook up
some canned widgets to offer some of their looks, like this one, in
plug-and-play form.

A question for you: does this "X" effect show up in places other than
the Android Market search app on your Hero? Thanks!

[android-beginners] Re: How to build EditText view like that in Android Market where "X" button appears for clearing text?

[mjc147]

To answer my own question...

Use TextView.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, null) to hide the
cross.

Next thing is to detect when the cross is pressed on.

Currently I do this:

mEditText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (mEditText.getCompoundDrawables()[2] == null) {
// cross is not being shown so no need to handle
return false;
}
if (event.getAction() != MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
// only respond to the down type
return false;
}
if (event.getX() > mEditText.getMeasuredWidth() -
mEditText.getPaddingRight() - x.getIntrinsicWidth()) {
mEditText.setText("");
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
});

This works but feels rather messy to me. Also, I'm not sure about the
mEditText.getPaddingRight()...

Is there a better way?

Thanks Jack - visually, that works exactly as I wanted.

However, I'm trying to hide the cross when the text is empty/blank.
I've tried using Drawable.setVisible() but this doesn't seem to make a
difference.

Any tips?

Try:

x.setBounds(0, 0, x.getIntrinsicWidth(), x.getIntrinsicHeight());
mEditText.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, x, null);

The Android Market is not open source, unfortunately.

On my T-Mobile G1, I opened the Android Market, clicked on Search, and
entered text into the search field. I do not get an "X" button.

Could you perhaps post a screenshot somewhere?

[android-beginners] Re: How to launch android emulator

[jotobjects]

At the command line you can start the emulator like this -

emulator -avd android1.5_maps -logcat "v:*"

In this case, I first created an AVD named "android1.5_maps". Read how
to create an AVD in the Dev Guide.

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

You can run the emulator using the Eclipse IDE or via command line.

Follow the instructions on http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html
for the latest SDK version.

Make sure that you download the Android package for the correct
platform.

If you add more information what exactly you are doing, this would be
helpful!

There are a lot of good tutorials/examples on the web on using
Intents.

If you post your code using Intents, someone will help you get
started. If you are using Android, you should be familiar with
Intents.

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect to the internet behind proxy ?

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

Can you connect with a normal browser to the internet or do you need
already a proxy in your desktop browser?

If you have no proxy configured in your normal browser on your
desktop, there is no need to add any proxy stuff on the Android
emulator.

You will need to take control over what goes into the ListView and
Spinner. I have not experimented with these techniques on Spinner, but
on ListView, you will need to override getView() (on ArrayAdapter) or
newView() and bindView() (on CursorAdapter).

Here is a free excerpt from one of my books that demonstrates the technique:

http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

In your case, you would use your Typeface object to update the font used
by the TextView widgets in your rows.

In principle, you could do this via a wrapping adapter -- this would be
more reusable but a bit slower. I have an AdapterWrapper base class here:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-adapter

and some projects that use it here:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-endless
http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-thumbnail

[android-beginners] Re: How to debug crash on rotate

[sume]

I'm not familiar with the framework you're using, but do you have this
attribute android:configChanges=”orientation" in the activity that's
casing the crash? if not you can handle that event with  the
onConfigurationChanged() handler.

Hope this helps

[zhy]

You can change the Mms at packages/apps/Mms.
Or write your BroadcastReceiver.  when received sms, cancel the
notification.

[android-beginners] Re: How to get the orange border with TextView ?

[iPaul Pro]

Hi,

First you will want to make the TextView clickable and focusable.
(android:clickable="true", android:focusable="true")

If you want the TextView to link to an address, phone number, website,
or email address you can use the AutoLink feature. (eg.
android:autoLink="web"; or android:autoLink="all")

I am not aware of the xml file that the browser uses for links. But
you can recreate this yourself. If you are looking to set custom click
listeners it will involve creating images for each of the states and
referencing them in a resource xml file. You then set this xml file as
the background of the TextView.

For example, this is the background of a standard EditText View
(platforms/android-1.5/data/res/drawable/edit_text.xml):




http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>









If you are going to use a custom background I would suggest using this
as a template and use the Draw 9-patch tool to assign stretchable
regions to your drawables. (http://developer.android.com/guide/
developing/tools/draw9patch.html)

Hope this helps,

Paul

[android-beginners] Re: how to import packages in android?

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

If you have a jar package or  the source code you can always add a
dependency to the project settings.

When you open the properties of your project and check  the Java build
path you can add libraries or Java Projects as additional
dependency.

Add different strings.xml one for each language in the resource
directory.
All languages will then be in your .apk.


On the phone (emulator also), you can change the locale settings, and
choose another language.

This way, you can test your application in several languages.

No need to recompile anything !
