[android-developers] How to Create Custom Firmware for Android Device?
Hi, I know this is a bit open ended but I am having a hard time finding something detailed and would appreciate any 'go here' that anyone could provide. I have seen various instances on messages and posts advising people that they cannot do a certain action and would need to create their own version of the firmware to accomplish what they're asking. Is there any detailed steps on how to do this? I have gotten bits and pieces but not anything in any one place and definitely some contradictory information.

[android-developers] Changing the icon for the All Apps Button
Hi, I am looking to actually replace the 'All Apps' button on the Android home screen. I know there is the Home sample app, as near as I can tell (and please correct me if I'm wrong) it overlays a separate home button on top of the existing one - instead of actually replacing it. Is there a way to actually replace the All Apps icon on the Android home screen? Sorry if this is a duplicate question, searching for 'all apps button' returns a dizzying array of non-pertinent results.

Is there a way to actually replace the All Apps icon on the Android home screen? No, short of hacking the app on a rooted phone. Bear in mind that there is no single Android home screen -- there are probably a few dozen in use on production hardware and uncounted home screens you can download from the Android Market. You can create your own home screen app (see the sample app you mention). Users will then have a choice of running your app or the built-in one when they press HOME. If they make your app the default, they will go to your app exclusively when the press HOME, until they remove your app or launch in safe mode. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 4.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] sqlite help
Hi, I am wondering if anyone has a simple SQLite app/example they can point to, provide or whatever. Just basically looking for an example that will connect to a database, and add or remove a record. Been trying to sift through the searchable dictionary example and currently not having much luck getting to the barebone essentials. Failing an example, if anyone could provide a rough outline or what to do that would be extremely helpful as well. The example/outline doesn't need to be overly involved, just looking for what amounts to a Hello SQLite app. Thanks for any help/advice Erik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Getting info from a calling activity advice
Hi, I'm trying to do something where I have an activity that needs to call another activity. I use the startActivityForResult and pass it a integer as the second parameter. I know I can check for that information after the second activity is done but my question is; is there a way I can know what the integer value is when starting the second activity? So, I have startActivityForResult(myIntent, 1); When the activity described by myIntent is started is there a way I can grab the 1 value and do something with it? If not, can anyone provide some advice on how to get a value from a calling activity to the called activity? Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] return values from preferences with getString
Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem with the return values from
preferences.getString. The value that I'm getting returned doesn't
seem to be correct.
This snippet will not evaluate correctly (i'm omitting the
toast.length_long ending since it formats squirrelly). This always
goes to the else (i.e. 'nothing') condition. There are only two
possible values (Two and Four).
String strTemp=prefs.getString(listPlayers, );
if (strTemp==Two) {
Toast.makeText(WarGamePlay.this, two?,
} else if (strTemp==Four) {
Toast.makeText(WarGamePlay.this, four?,
} else {
Toast.makeText(WarGamePlay.this, nothing?,
}
If i exchange the prefs.getString with just...
String strTemp=Two;
then that correctly goes to the first condition in the if/else tree.
What am I missing? I have checked the values coming back from the
prefs.getString and there are no leading/trailing spaces or anything
else visually wrong that I can see with the value.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: return values from preferences with getString
Thanks very much! I have to say though my (ignorant) questions are
not over. I am ultra newbie on Java and am not sure how to write a
(working) Equals method.
This is the body of the Equals I wrote
public boolean equals(String strTemp) {
SharedPreferences
prefs=PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
if (strTemp instanceof String) {
String strP1 = prefs.getString(listPlayers, );
if (this.equals(strP1)) return true;
}
return false;
}
in the code i'm trying to do something along the lines of
if ((equals(Two) {
// blah blah
}
I know this is a basic-really-should-know-how-to question but I'm kind
of flailing on the whole thing. Thanks.

I heartily encourage you to learn Java *before* attempting to get into
Android development, simply because most of the Java educational
materials out there are designed for non-Android environments.
This is the body of the Equals I wrote
public boolean equals(String strTemp) {
SharedPreferences
prefs=PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
if (strTemp instanceof String) {
String strP1 = prefs.getString(listPlayers, );

}
return false;
}
There is no point in your instanceof test, as Java is strongly typed,
so it will always be a String. Also, I didn't tell you to *write* an
equals() method, but to *use* the equals() method, as you did inside
your own equals() method.

[android-developers] help with spinners from preferences
Hi,
I have a preference screen where a edit text brings up a spinner, the
result from the spinner needs to get to the edit text on the
preference screen and the value from the edit text needs to then get
back to the main activity. I can get the value from a straight edit
text to the main activity but I cannot figure out how to get the
spinner choice to the edit field.
(disclaimer, the bulk of this is from an example project that I am
trying to use to learn how to do this).
The relevant porton of the main.xml
TableRow
TextView
android:text=Edit TEXT:
android:paddingRight=5dip/
TextView android:id=@+id/edittext/
/TableRow
I have a preferences.xml in the /res/xml folder...
PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
EditTextPreference
android:key=edit_text
android:title=Edit Text Preference
android:dialogLayout=@layout/spinner
android:summary=What to do?/
/PreferenceScreen
I also have a spinner.xml in the /layout folder
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=vertical
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
Spinner
android:id=@+id/spinner
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:width=200dp
android:entries=@array/edit_text_array
/
/LinearLayout
There are two activities. The first is PrefsActivity
package com.Prefs;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class PrefsActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final int EDIT_ID = Menu.FIRST+3;
private TextView check_box=null;
private TextView edit_text=null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
check_box=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.checkbox1);
edit_text=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
SharedPreferences
prefs=PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
check_box.setText(new Boolean(prefs.getBoolean(check_box,
false)).toString());
edit_text.setText(prefs.getString(edit_text, ));
//spinner.setText(prefs.getString(spinner, ));
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(Menu.NONE, EDIT_ID, Menu.NONE, Edit Prefs)
.setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setAlphabeticShortcut('e');
return(super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
}
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case EDIT_ID:
startActivity(new Intent(this, EditPreferences.class));
return(true);
}
return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
}
}
and finally the EditPreferences activity.
package com.Prefs;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class EditPreferences extends PreferenceActivity {
private TextView spinner=null;
private TextView edit_text=null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
spinner=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
}
What I was thinking was that the spinner needed to feed the result to
the edittext on the preferences before the edittext on the preferences
could feed it to the one on the PrefsActivity activity.
Long story short, what am I doing wrong and what should I do on this?
I'm a little brained out on this after staring at it and trying
everything my limited understanding could think of.
Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Advice on getting data from one activity to another
Hi, I guess this is more of a design with more than a little 'how do i' mixed in question. I have two activities (thus far), a main page and an options page. On the options page I set an option that I need to 'see' on the main page (as well as on subsequent other activites). What is the 'best' way to do this? Global variables are a no-no and a bit of a pain to do as I understand it. How can I do this? Perhaps just point me in the direction of a dev article on the subject though I couldn't find anything on point. At least at that point I can then move on to more detailed how-to questions.

[android-developers] reading choices from spinners
Hi all, I have a very simple game that I'm trying to do for learning
purposes. One of the options is selecting the number of players (2-4)
via a spinner. When a choice is made from the spinner I am moving the
value to a string and then using that string in a series of if/else if
statements to (eventually) handle the option. I am running into the
problem where the condition that (to me) seems like it should be true
is evaluating to false.
If I select Two, the value moved to the variable is Two but the
check for the variable == Two isn't getting hit.
(hope that was all clear, backstory may not be needed but better safe
than vague). Anyway, the spinner's OnSelectedItemListener...
public class MyPlayerOnItemSelectedListener implements
OnItemSelectedListener {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView? parent, View view, int
pos, long id) {
String strResult;
strResult = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
if (strResult == Two) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), this is the result
when
one is selected, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else if (strResult == Three) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), three players / +
strResult + /, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else if (strResult == Four) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), four,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), something else / +
strResult + /, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView? parent) {
}
}
No matter what I select using this code the Toast shows as something
else / + what the value actually is + /. i.e. if I chose 'Two' the
toast reads something else /Two/.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. I'm certain it is
something very fundamental that I'm just missing. Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Getting a second page to do anything
Hi,
This is I'm sure a very simple thing to do and I am just missing
something but I am just starting out. I have the main view, which has
a button. The button brings up a second view that is supposed to show
some toast message (or, in fact do anything). I can get everything to
work on the first view, but nothing at all to work on the second.
first view (main.xml for the layout)
public class actvSecondPage extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final Button btnToast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnToast);
btnToast.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(actvSecondPage.this, this is some
toast,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
final Button btnSecondPage = (Button)
findViewById(R.id.btnSecondPage);
btnSecondPage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
setContentView(R.layout.second);
}
});
}
}
Second view (second.xml for the layout)
public class actvSecond extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second);
Toast.makeText(actvSecond.this, this is some toast on the
actual
second page., Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
};
}
the android.manifest.xml (in case i'm missing something there)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
package=com.SecondPage
android:versionCode=1
android:versionName=1.0
uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 /
application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/
app_name
activity android:name=.actvSecondPage
android:label=@string/app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
/activity
/application
/manifest
Can anyone help as to why what works in the first class does not in
the second? Or, rather, that nothing at all works in the second
class? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Getting a second page to do anything
Ah, that did the trick. Thank you very much, it was setting the
Intent that I was totally missing.

You need to declare the second activity in the manifest. You will also need
an intent in your first activity to launch the second one.

[android-developers] Hello Listview project
Hi to all, I am very new to both java and android development so this is probably a very simple question. I have been going through the various 'hello' tutorials on this site. I've hit a snag on the 'Hello Listview' (this one http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-listview.html). When trying to run it I get a fatal error and the debugger shows me the following message of Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list' I've seen some similar things on various posts but could not find the answer to; 1. where is this entry to be made (the androidmanifest.xml? the list.xml?) and 2. what the entry actually should be. Thanks in advance for any answers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
