[android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

Maybe you should try a ListView instead.

[android-developers] Re: setimageresource showing wrong image

[Mike dg]

Assuming you are using Eclipse, do a Project -> Clean All in your
workspace. The latest versions of the Android plugins seem to be
screwing up resources a lot lately. Also if you et mysterious crashes,
try a clean all too.

[android-developers] Re: Progress Bar without a dialog box

[Mike dg]

What about making an activity exclusively for displaying the progress
dialog? It sounds like you have no desire to allow the user to do
anything during the fetch process, which I'm against but this would
work. You can do XML for the new activity layout.

[android-developers] Re: Can't disable keyguard anymore

I think some Googlers have said this was going away for a long time
now. I suppose it finally happened. :(

If you want to give a try of my paid app, Keyguard Disabler go for it.
If it still works on your device I'll try to help get you working.
Then feel free to do an automated refund or mail me for a refund.

Have you looked into table layout? How do you want the R-L text to
flow if it's not the same height as R-R. Maybe an image would better
explain what you need.

I dont think cacheColorHint is what you are looking for. What you are

Are you trying to do multi-selection? What is the use case for this
functionality?

[android-developers] Re: Android lock screen

[Mike dg]

I'd hesitate to call say that they are using malware techniques.

Creating a replacement lock screen requires a lot of hair pulling and
playing around. There's no API for switching lock screens you have to
put stuff together that in ways that were probably never intended. All
of the ones in the market have their own quirks on different devices
and Android versions.

There is no public API for this.

all of it scaled to screen size.

But then that leads towards a slippery slope. Why isn't 50 the limit?
Why not 10? Why not only allow the messaging app to send text messages
and other apps can only populate a textbox there. And then we wind up
with limitations like the iPhone.

[android-developers] Re: ClassCastException using element

[Mike dg]

Nellz,

It is somewhat logical. It works as long as you have the width the
same across all items. If you use WRAP_CONTENT, then it fails since
everything is different sizes and then they all evenly distribute the
extra space.

Thanks

[android-developers] Market Refund Policy

[Mike dg]

In December, there were new terms for the Market.
A big note was
"You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of the Product
price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours after
purchase."

It still seems that all references to the refund policy sitll state 24
hours.
http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134336

So is it 48 or 24 hours officially? Is the 48 hours in the agreement
just because the 24 hours never seemed to be a hard deadline. I
noticed users refunding around 30 hours in the past.

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: How do I simulate the Home key programmatically?

[Mike dg]

The below code should work for triggering the home screen.
Having said that, unless you have a custom device lacking home and
back buttons, this is probably a bad idea. As is an exit button. And
an exit button that doesn't really exit and just dumps you to the home
screen is baffling. Those things just go against how almost every
Android app works.

[android-developers] Re: How to Upgrade Application without losing data.

[Mike dg]

It sounds like you may have installed the app with different signing
keys. If you were launching the app on your device through Eclipse and
then tried to install from the market then that is most likely the
case. Another possibility is that you are using multiple PC's for
development and the debug keys are different on each machine. Eclipse
by default signs everything with the debug key.

As long as you sign each version of the app with the same key you
should have no problem installing new releases. You might need to take
care of SQLite database upgrades yourself though if you change the
schema.

Click the DDMS tab and ini the device tab there should be a "down

You could try a linear layout as the top level layout and set the

That worked for me in one of my apps.

[android-developers] Re: Disable keyboard in DatePicker ?

[Mike dg]

So you don't want the textfields to be editable by typing, only by
pressing the arrows?

Should be possible. The below code almost works. For some reason
whenever you click an arrow, it makes the corresponding text box
editable again. But if you hit an arrow on another textbox, then it
reverts back.
Please post the solution back so everyone can benefit if you use this.

-Mike dg
DatePicker dp = (DatePicker)findViewById(R.id.DatePicker01);
setDisabledTextViews(dp);

private void setDisabledTextViews(ViewGroup dp) {
for (int x = 0, n = dp.getChildCount(); x < n; x++) {
View v = dp.getChildAt(x);

if (v instanceof TextView) {
v.setEnabled(false);
} else if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
setDisabledTextViews((ViewGroup)v);
}
}

[android-developers] Re: Does eclair run on ADP2

[Mike dg]

There is not an official developer rom available. And I don't think
you can build it yourself without massive modifications yet. (Could be
wrong on that account)
You should be able to find a handful of unofficial roms based on
2.0/2.1 that will run on an ADP2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=493
Thgey are in various states of usability though.

[android-developers] Re: How do i check app close gracefully during shutdown scenario

[Mike dg]

I don't think that waiting until shutdown to do anything is a great
idea. You have no control over the speed of the shutdown or anyway to
disable it.

[android-developers] Re: Overlay in Bounded Lat Long Possible?

[Mike dg]

You can extend Overlay and implement your own drawing algorithms for
the blueprints. MapView.getProjection will be a huge help for
converting coordinates to pixels for drawing.
