[android-developers] Re: Lookup phone number
Can you use the LIKE operator, so do something for the selection args such as: phonenumbers + LIKE %555-%?

It works perfect if the number is stored in the contacts in the following format: +countrycodeareacodenumber But not all numbers are stored this way. Most are without the countrycode or with 00 instead of +. Do I have to parse the number by myself and set up a corresponding WHERE clause for the query, or is there anything I can't find in the internet to get this one done by the framework?

[android-developers] Re: web browser json request for data
You probably don't need the browser itself for the application. Instead write a activity that mimics the form, and then sends the data to your server, and retrieves the results. Hooking into the browser would probably be far too difficult. Check out http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html That class should be basically what you need On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 10:24 AM, Thomas tbirchm...@usa.net wrote: I have a browser application that uses Json to retrieve some latitude/ longitude data from my netbook and I would like to port it to Android.

[android-developers] Scrolling with Multiple ListViews
Hello all, I'm completely stumped on this one. I have three different lists that need to be displayed on the screen. It's completely possible that the lists will extend past the bottom edge of the screen, so I would need scrolling. I've tried using a ScrollView with a LinearLayout child, and putting my ListViews in the LinearView, but all of the ListViews lock to a fixed height with scroll bars. Using other kinds of Layouts means no scrolling. Does anyone have any suggestions, or will I need to programmatically add the list items to some layout and hope for the best? -- Andrew Burgess --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Scrolling with Multiple ListViews
So essentially multiple ListViews on a single screen are a pretty big no-no. Fair enough, I'll try something else. Thanks for the response. On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 3:01 PM, Romain Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, ListView is a virtualized component, it displays only as many items as it needs, which is why you cannot put it in inside a ScrollView. The only way to make it work is to give a fixed height to the ListView yourself. This is however a very bad idea to put a scrollable widget inside a scrollable widget. If you do this, touch scroll will become very weird: when the user tries to scroll the ListView inside the ScrollView, what should scroll? The ListView or the ScrollView? It also makes keyboard navigation incredibly difficult for the user: to scroll the ScrollView he would have to scroll through the entire ListView first. You should really NOT do this, this will not work correctly. On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 11:52 AM, Andrew Burgess [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I'm completely stumped on this one.

[android-developers] Re: How to send email programmatically?
If you don't want to direct the user to the typical send form, then you're going to have to either try and adapt an existing java based mailer to android or write an SMTP client from scratch.

Similarly, a comment with enough bad feedback could be put up for some sort of review, and if deemed acceptable, the offending user could have comment privileges banned for some period of time. -- Andrew Burgess --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Agreed. Open source exists so that people with their own view points can influence the tools they use frequently. Android is young, and needs all the help it can get. If a specific component bothers you so much, look into helping improve it.
