Re: [android-developers] Fragments won't display in port orientation

2011-04-17 Thread Samson Akisanya
Aren't you also supposed to specify the orientation of the fragment as well
...so the xml definition is fine but i think u should look at the fragment
definition as well.

 I'm very confused on why my fragments refuse to draw in portrait mode and
 draw fine in landscape mode.

 I'm build a screen with two fragments. in landscape they are side-by-side
 and in portrait they are supposed to stack one above the other.
 however now matter what I seem to try, the portrait mode refuses to draw
the
 fragments.

 I can also not use any layout except LinearLayout and even then if I add
 the LinearLayout android:orientation=vertical the fragments refuse to
 draw.

 I'd actually prefer to use the RelativeLayout in this case, but i does not

 display anything at all.
 To illustrate what i'm doing:

 This works...

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

 LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;

 android:orientation=horizontal android:layout_width=match_parent

 android:layout_height=match_parent


 fragment android:name=sixgreen.pots.ReceiptFragment android:id=
 @+id/saleReceiptFragment

 android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_width=0dp
android:layout_height=
 match_parent /


 fragment android:name=sixgreen.pots.SaleControlFragment android:id=
 @+id/saleControlFragment

 android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_width=0dp
android:layout_height=
 match_parent /


 /LinearLayout


 ... and this *does not* work...

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

 LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;

 android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=match_parent

 android:layout_height=match_parent


 fragment android:name=sixgreen.pots.ReceiptFragment android:id=
 @+id/saleReceiptFragment

 android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_width=0dp
android:layout_height=
 match_parent /


 fragment android:name=sixgreen.pots.SaleControlFragment android:id=
 @+id/saleControlFragment

 android:layout_weight=1 android:layout_width=0dp
android:layout_height=
 match_parent /


 /LinearLayout



 (yes, they are in different resource dirs; layout-land and layout-port
 respectively.)

 I've been hacking away at this for a while now, trying all sorts or
 permutations and layouts with no luck.


 Does anyone have any suggestions on what i might try, or even how to debug

 this, that i may not have tried already?

 At 4:30 am, it's time to give up and get some sleep :)

Re: [android-developers] Database shared by Activity and Service. What's the best approach?

2011-04-16 Thread Samson Akisanya
Would a content provider work?
On 14 Apr 2011 04:56, bogde bogde...@gmail.com wrote:
 I'm new here and new to Android development too, so I want to
 apologize for my ignorance.

 I'm working on an application that is supposed to gather some data
 from an external device continuously, display the data on a chart in
 real-time and also store data so it's accessible at a later time as a
 table or as a chart. The application needs to store the data all the
 time, even if it's not active on the screen.

 Currently I have a service that starts on boot and deals with
 receiving the data and storing it inside a sqlite database. The
 service opens the database and keeps it open all the time, until it's
 killed. This part seems to work pretty well so far.

 Now, I would like to have an activity that retrieves the last 60
 values from the database and plots them on a chart. I'm currently
 using Android Plot. I need to have a thread or something that
 constantly checks for database changes and redraws the chart on the
 screen if needed. My question is, what would be the best way to
 accomplish this? How to share the database between the service that
 runs all the time and an activity?

 I searched and answers to somewhat similar questions are all over the
 web. However, most people talk about how to share the database between
 two or more activities or between an activity and a service that is
 started temporarily.

 Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] static variable set to null

2011-04-12 Thread Samson Akisanya
your code force closing is preventable by a simple null check..
if(yourvariable != null){ do something}else{do something else or do nothing
and display an error message}. The question about whether youwant to share
global variable between
 activities is something you should really ask yourself... pass stuff to
other activities using intents or bundle and do null checks. that way you
can find out which activities are settting ur data to null and fix it..

 hello everybody,

 I use a static variable to share data across all the activities of my
 apps.
 The problems is that sometimes this variable is set to null, which
 cause the others activities to crash (nullPointersException) ...

 does somebody have an idea of what could set the static variables to
 null ?

 Christophe

 new Thread() {

 at least it work fine in the emulator, but i'm concerned about it's
 correctness, specifically about calling prgDialog.dismiss(); (note

 correct?

Re: [android-developers] Problem with ListAdapters and Cursors

 Hello people,

 so I am trying to build a somewhat simple app where I am working with
 an array of objects where is of those objects had also an array of
 other objects. I have made this array a public variable and placed it
 in a class that extends Application. ( I found that on the net as the
 best way to have a public variable)

 So now that I have an Array of Objects, I need to display a list of
 names of those objects.

 Object has variables:
 mName, mArray (of objects), mLength

 and I need to display in my ListView a list of mNames.

 First problem I have is that I am not really into these cursors and
 adapters and second, I am not sure what is the best way to pass this
 global array variable. I know passing a global variable sounds weird
 but since I am initializing this variable in one class (class of the
 main View), and I am switching to another View where I want to show
 the contents of this array I am a bit stuck should I send this
 variable or somehow fetch a reference to it through this or
 whichever way.

 I must say I am a noob at this :-/

 Thanks for any help or a pointer what to read.

 Tnx!
 D.
