[android-developers] ExpandableListView Groups with no children?
I have an ExpandableListView where not every group has children, however, the arrow indicator shows up for every group. I would think that returning 0 from public int getChildrenCount(int groupPosition) would be enough info for it to tell that it doesn't have any children. Does anyone know how to remove the arrow indicator for groups without children? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] How to launch browser activity?
I have been unable to find out how to launch the browser activity in
1.0_r1.
I've found a couple of posts giving examples of how to do it, but they
seem out of date as some of the functions are no longer available.
Here is what I have:
Intent intent = new Intent();
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName
("com.google.android.browser",
"com.google.android.browser.BrowserActivity");
intent.setComponent(comp);
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.VIEW");
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.BROWSABLE");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
intent.setData(uri);
try
{
startActivity(intent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
But I get an ActivityNotFound exception.

Thanks a lot, that worked. I had tried that before, but without the

[android-developers] How to bring up the keyboard from WebViewClient
Here's my problem. I have a WebView, but I don't want a new Intent to be launched when the page is redirected, so I wrote my own WebViewClient to handle this. However, I can't figure out how to get the WebViewClient to allow keyboard input. Clicking on an input box does not bring up the soft keyboard, nor can I use the hard keyboard on the G1 to input data. I don't see any methods in WebViewClient that would handle this.

[android-developers] Re: Data Retrieval in Android
It is important to note that you can't just package the database in your apk and start using it. You'll have to create it first (which creates an empty database at the path specified by Mark) and then manually perform the steps necessary to re-populate it. Based on a suggestion by Mark, I exported my database as a Raw string resource and executed those command on the database the first time my app is run.

[android-developers] Re: Two applications, same package. How?
Ok, here's what I did. Seems to be working now, but someone please let me know if it will cause problems later. In my manifest, I specified each activity's full path, rather than a relative path: ie versus In my manifest, I have a base package name, this is where the R gets generated, ie: Then, for each build of the app I create, I modify the package attribute, ie: , , etc. This will keep me from needing to modify any source code during my build.

Here's the creation of my view: final EditText passwordEditText = new EditText(context); passwordEditText.setTransformationMethod (PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance()); passwordEditText.setInputType (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD); What I see on the screen is what I type. The text is not transformed. What am I doing wrong? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Transforming password text field
Thanks...That did it...I saw another post somewhere that setInputType (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD) was the way to do it for 1.5...Apparentl not.

[android-developers] Re: Transforming password text field
Ok...So now I wonder how I can get the soft keyboard to have the Done button. It seems the InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD gave the keyboard the done button. Is there another input type I can use that will keep the password hidden, but give me the done button?

[android-developers] Where are files created in the simulator stored?
I'm wondering where files that are created while running in a simulator are stored. I'm running the 1.5 simulator on Windows Vista. The real reason I want to find the files is because I am downloading an png file and trying to create a bitmap via: Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(iconFile.getAbsolutePath()); However, the bitmap is always null. I am able to create a bitmap successfully if I have the file as a resource. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Where are files created in the simulator stored?
Yeah, the file exists and I can read it in my code. However, I want to verify it on my filesystem. The path is /data/data/example.app/ files/4de67f137f7fa92bab63569f565c888 which obviously doesn't exist on Windows. So, I'm assuming that the path is relative to the emulator data root. I believe I found where the emulator data is stored. There's a file userdata.img, however, I tried opening it with winimage, thinking it was an img file, it was not. Does anyone know how to access the contents of userdata.img?

[android-developers] Re: Where are files created in the simulator stored?
Thanks. I was able to get the file using adb pull and by looking at it, I realized I was assuming the file was ascii and was able to fix the problem.

[android-developers] Am I using startManagingCursor correctly?
I have a cursor that I create in onCreate. As soon as I create it, I call startManagingCursor(cursor), however, if I start another activity and then go back to the original activity, all the data is gone. Do I need to do something special to create the cursor? I also download new data in a background thread and then update the database. When this is done, I notify my activity and call cursor.requery(), but this causes all the data to disappear as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

An sqlitecursor, I create them like this: Cursor cursor = database.query(table, null, null, null, null, null, null); and Cursor cursor = database.rawQuery(table, null) On Nov 23, 2:47 pm, Mark Murphy wrote: > junker37 wrote: > > I have a cursor that I create in onCreate.

[android-developers] Re: Am I using startManagingCursor correctly?
Ah, I am closing the database, because I thought I was getting exceptions if I didn't. I have a method: Cursor getCursor() which opens the database, performs the query, closes the database and returns the cursor. Is that not how I should be doing it? I checked out the examples you sited, but they all get their cursor via the content resolver.

Thanks, that's how I originally had it. I must have misinterpreted the exceptions I was getting. It's working now. Thanks!

[android-developers] Combining intents in Intent.createChooser
I would like to know how I can create a chooser for the user to select
from either a video or a photo. I want them to be able to capture a
new video/photo or select from existing videos/photos.
With the following code, I get a chooser that allows for that, but
also allows audio creation/selection.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, getString
(R.string.mediaChooserTitle)), REQUEST_MEDIA);
If I set the type to "image/*" I can create/get a photo, and "video/*
I can get/create a video. How can I combine these types?

[android-developers] Multiple Eclipse projects no longer get included
Here's my setup. I have 1 project that has all the resources my
application needs. This project has the android builder which
produces the apk. This project references a few other projects that
don't have resources. After updating my android SDK today, the apk
that is produced no longer includes the source files from my other
projects.
When I try to run my app, it is looking for a utils.apk (utils is the
name of 1 of my included projects).
Here's the log:
