[android-developers] Re: Linear Layout and Relative Layout

2012-07-13 Thread maccoy
Normally by default it is Linear Layout (for me it is)...but there was some 
talk in last years Google I/O for promoting Relative Layout(is better)., 
May be because you are using the latest sdk it is creating a relative 
layout(Not sure). But you should not worry much, Relative seems to be 
better and if needed you can change to Linear manually.

This is the code

View newView =(TableLayout)mLayoutInflater.inflate(xpp,null); 
//'xpp is the XM:Pullparse set with the XML file
XML File:
TableLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent
android:id=@+id/myTableLayout android:gravity=center
TableRow.../TableRow./TableLayout

*Note: The same xml file works if i use inflate - 
mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.tableLayout.xml,null); *

2012-07-12 Thread maccoy
*I am wondering is this because of this mentioned in the doc.:* 
*Important*   For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on 
pre-processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is 
not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a 
plain XML file at runtime.

[android-developers] Listview or Table Layout- For Items with a Header and display some dynamic data rows with style

2012-07-10 Thread maccoy
The formatting of the header and detail row is defined in layout.XML.
In this case, is it good to use 

   1. Table Layout and create details views by inflating the layout.xml(so 
   that formatting is available)
   2. Or Create a Listview for the details and a Linear layout representing 
   the Header.
   
What would be the best case: Considering we have the formatting in XML and 
the data rows are just dynamic display of content.
I assume we need to write a adapetor for the TableLayout.

 Right.

  But my question is about how to pass an object of user defined class to an
  activity.

 Passing a user defined object to an Activity is not much different than
 passing, say, an int. Re-read this thread - that's exactly what was
 discussed.

  One guy said that it could be done by implementing some common functions
  for this activity and calling those functions to pass object to this
  activity, but how I can get the activity reference would be a problem.

 If you're referring to Neilz's post, the second part of that was that he
 uses static objects - no need to pass an Activity reference around. Each
 Activity, when active, would use itself to access the user-defined static
 objects.

[android-developers] How do I replace my entire Styles.xml with downloaded newStyles.xml?

2010-12-28 Thread maccoy
I have declared a list of Style resources in my application and this
s is built and deployed in the client device.
Can i download another newStyles resources from a server and replace
the oldStyles.
Mainly i want to change the color, font ..etc.. in runtime or each
time the application loads.
I was thinking like,
Get the new XML (the same format as the original) and replace it while
the application starts.. so that the new styles are in effect.
style name=OriginalStyle
item name=android:textColor#FF00FF/item
item name=android:typefacemonospace/item
/style

Download this :
style name=OriginalStyle
item name=android:textColornewColor/item
item name=android:typefaceneeTypeFace/item
/style

Can i do this in a simple way?
