[android-developers] Re: Edittext Cursor and Highlight Problem
Ahh I see what you meant, but no I am trying to do something different. I want the cursor to be none existent. I'm trying to display (read-only) a page of text in which they are free to select and copy text from thus that is why I don't want the cursor to be visible at all.

[android-developers] Search Suggestions/Autocomplete OnClick Behavior
I've implemented a search suggestion which works fine. I've used the onSearchRequested() method to make it work as well as the following XML: searchable xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android android:label=@string/search_label android:hint=@string/search_hint android:includeInGlobalSearch=true android:searchSuggestAuthority=authority android:searchMode=queryRewriteFromData android:searchSuggestIntentAction=android.intent.action.SEARCH /searchable However I cannot seem to dictate the behavior of the onClick function. When a suggestion is clicked, it fires off the intent immediately. Is there a way for it to instead of firing off the intent immediately, simply copy and paste the suggestion as part of the search string? Eg. when typing in J,o,h the suggestion John comes up. When I click John can it copy that text into the search bar instead of immediately processing the search with John? I'm assuming theres a simple configuration which I cant seem to find.

[android-developers] Simple Audio MediaController for Audio
Hi guys,
I've been unable to successfully hookup a MediaController to an audio
MediaPlayer. I've successfully created a MediaPlayer to play audio.
And i've also programatically instantiated a MediaController.
MediaPlayer mp = myclass.getMediaPlayer(); //My custom class that
returns the current media player
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(button);
mc.setEnabled(true);
mc.show(2000); //does not crash if i comment this out
I have 2 big problems:
1. The above code crashes unless I comment out the show. In which case
the controller does not appear.
I have debugged mp and mc and the button are all not null values, but
I still get the following in logcat:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity

2. The other problem is that I cannot see a way to hookup the
MediaController to Mediaplayer as setMediaPlayer does not take
MediaPlayer as the paramater.
A simple example of a MediaController working with mp3's would be all
that I need!
Thanks alot for your time.

[android-developers] Gallery View with Text: Styling
I currently have a Gallery Widget very similar to Gallery2.java in the API examples. It is a gallery widget populated by a simple adaptor of text. What I am trying to do is make the selected (the item at the center of the gallery widget) text and background a certain color and the other visible items a different color. It should be a simple task, but I am unable to find a tutorial or the place in which to insert these options. Code which will modify the existing Gallery2.java to display the center item as Red for example whereas the other items remain the gray color would be very helpful. Many thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Searchable Dictionary Example - Update Search Bar
Hi for those who are familiar with the search bar this would be a quick answer (hopefully). If you look @ the searchable dictionary example (http://developer.android.com/guide/samples/ SearchableDictionary/index.html) it uses a content provider to populate suggestions. That works great however when I use the navigation keys to focus on certain suggestions this does not update my current search string. And also how is it possible that instead of launching the search straight away, when a person clicks on a suggestion it only replaces the current search query. An example may help better understand the question. Press Search Use keyboard to enter the letter 'a' in the search box The suggestions apple altogether apricot are shown I use the down navigation key to get to apricot, however the text in the search box is still just a, I want it to become apricot And also when I press apricot on the suggestion I dont want it to launch the intent but rather just replace the text in search box to the text selected, and only actually launch the intent when the user clicks the search button/enter key. I'm sure its just a value I need to set somewhere but I cant seem to find it in the documentation.

[android-developers] MediaScannerConnection cant connect!
I am trying to use MediaScannerConnection to update content provider
of a newly downloaded MP3. However no matter what I do it does not
seem to be able to connect. I have even put this chunk of code into
onCreate and hardcoded to path of an existing file but still no dice.
MediaScannerConnection scanner = new
MediaScannerConnection(this,
null);
scanner.connect();
while(!scanner.isConnected()){
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
scanner.scanFile(/sdcard/path/file.mp3, audio/*);
scanner.disconnect();
It never exits the loop. If i do not put the loop in, it just force
closes and complains that it is not yet connected. Any ideas?

[android-developers] Textview - Select All/Select Text/Copy/Paste
Hi could someone post a small code snippet on how to have a read only text view (ie. editable = false), which has the context menu of the standard Select All/Select Text/Copy/Cut/Paste. I have tried using the EditText and setting editable = false. However I do not want to see the blinking cursor. I then set cursor visible to false but then it does not show which areas are currently be highlighted when using Select Text. I do not mind using editText. I just need something like how the browser works, the text display is read-only. And supports copy and paste with visible which text is highlighted.
