[android-developers] Can't display video in VideoView

2012-06-11 Thread Melanie Peterson 
I'm trying to play a video in a VideoView and I'm failing miserably.
I'm working in an Eclipse emulator and am half expecting it not to
work there, but when I install my app on my Android phone (version
2.2.1) it also fails.  The error message I get is Cannot play video.
Sorry, this video cannot be played. The video is in the Raw folder.
Below is my code.  parsedData[3].toString() is the name of the video
(without the 3gp extension) which is being extracted from a database
call.  What am I doing wrong?

VideoView videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoview.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
String path = android.resource:// + getPackageName() + /R.raw/
+ parsedData[3].toString();
videoview.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
videoview.requestFocus();

[android-developers] PNG file won't display in ImageView when src is set programatically

2012-06-08 Thread Melanie Peterson 
I have a png file in my res/drawable-ldpi folder. I'm working in
Eclipse with the emulator, but I've tried this on my 2.2.1 Android
phone and I get the same behavior.  I have an ImageView and I want to
set the src programatically, based on a database call.  If I just put

src=@drawable.norusdpyr

in the Activity's XML file, the file displays fine.  BUT, if I put

String imageresource = R.drawable. + parsedData[4].toString();
chart.setImageURI(Uri.parse(imageresource));

where parsedData[4].toString() = nor_usdpyr I don't see anything.
I've also tried

String imageresource = android.resource:// + getPackageName() +
/R.drawable. + parsedData[4].toString();
chart.setImageURI(Uri.parse(imageresource));

and

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(/drawable/ +
parsedData[4].toString());
chart.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromStream(is, ));

and

String imageresource = R.drawable. +
parsedData[4].toString();
File file = new File(imageresource);
 
chart.setImageDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(file.getAbsolutePath()));

and

Context context = getApplicationContext();
int ResID = context.getResources().getIdentifier(imageresource,
drawable, com.KnitCard.project);
chart.setImageResource(ResID);

finally even,

chart.setImageURI(Uri.parse(android.resource:// +
getPackageName() + /R.drawable.nor_usdpyr));

None of these work.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!

[android-developers] android buttons in tabs disappear with api under 11

I'm an Android noob and I'm writing an application that has 3 tabs
with buttons added to the tabs dynamically in code. This works fine
with API 11 or up, but not with any lower API. I don't get an error
message with a lower API, the buttons just don't display. However, I
can click/touch just under the tab title and the button will fire
properly. My code is below. Any ideas? Thanks!

[android-developers] Can't push file to SD card using Eclipse emulator

2012-06-04 Thread Melanie Peterson

share [g+]share [fb]share [tw]



I'm trying to push a 3GP file to the Eclipse emulator. I open the
emulator and in Eclipse go to the DDMS perspective. In File Explorer,
I open /mnt and highlight sdcard. I click on the Push a file onto the
device button and choose my 3GP file. Nothing happens. I don't get an
error message, but I don't see my file under sdcard either. Any ideas
why this is happening? The permissions on the sdcard are d---rwxr-x.

Does it matter that the 3GP file is also in my project under the raw
folder? Just a shot in the dark...

Any ideas/suggestions are most welcome. Thank you!
