[android-developers] web browser and dialog theme
Hi, I have an acivity which opens another floating activity which opens a web browser intent. After the back button from the webbrowser there is the floating activity and beneath it there are the checkered squares and not the first activity. Any thoughts as why this is happening? can i do something not very complex? thanks, aris --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

thank you anthony, that's what i did there was no other way... i have the user type in some letters and then try a LIKE %string% search... I hope this also help others cause the country/city thing is something common.

Given that you have 18,000 entries though, I recommend a search field with auto-population of options based on queries back to the server. I.e. have user type a letter and then display only cities beginning with that letter.

It will be fixed in a future release of the SDK. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The database has around 2 million records. as a text file it's more than half the disk space of the android.

You can use the method onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) to catch a key press event. You could then, query your data to retrieve a brief set of cities (set a LIMIT on your query) and populate the Spinner using and ArrayAdapter. Just an idea...

I need to have the user choose his country and then populate something with all the cities of the country. In order to be exact, i have a database with 18000 cities for greece only for example. Going through that kind of text or html file is not feasible as it would have to take extreme space and memory. I tried two solutions: first one is having the database on my server and collecting the data through xmlrpc. this fails cause the data is bigger than the kxmlrpclitent can hold (or some other limitation but in the debugger it only gets a couple of hundred cities or so). the second one is better (i think): i open up a php page on my server with webkit that has all the cities and i can easily see them with a normal browser. *BUT*: the android browser (at least the one that opens with a new intent and a uri) translates the html combobox into something like a spinner. this is extremely slowly generated (i wait for minutes before it opens up and have to press the button 2-3 times) and second and most important: i can't find a way to press the r key for example and the box transfers me to the first city which starts with r. Noone can scroll down a list with 18000 cities. I know i should get something with less cities but first of all that's the only database that has all the cities (i wouldn't want only the 10 bigger cities cause in the united states for example that would also be some thousands). My app which is going for the challenge (i'm in a hurr) is a social app *depends* on good geographical selection (not gps , i know). any help *very* appreciated --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
