Android :: Displaying ProgressDialog Within A Preference Activity

Aug 1, 2010

I've got a quite interesting issue when I try to display a ProgressDialog (the simple, spinner type) within a onPreferenceChange listener.The ProgressDialog shows up, but not until the method (sleep in this case) has finished. What am I doing wrong?

Android :: Not Show A ProgressDialog From My Activity

Jun 17, 2010

I try to show a ProgressDialog at the beginning of my application from an Activity. I debug the application and in theory the dialog is created because it prints a line from onCreateDialog... method.

For more test, I try to show a toast with:

Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

And nothing is showed.

If is useful, the application is a widget.

Android :: Show ProgressDialog Until Activity UI Finished Loading

Jul 1, 2010

Im trying to show a ProgressDialog while the activity is loading. my problem is that although i completed all the work in the activity. it takes a long time for the activity to load, i suspect this is because i use
multiple views with multiple listviews with custom array adapters inside a viewflipper. it takes a long time for the UI to show.how would i go about checking that all the UI inside the activity finished loading? or is there a way to preload all the activity and the UI?

Android :: Mangled Preference Activity

Sep 24, 2009

I have pretty unassuming preferences screen based on Preference Activity. (You can see it in DroidIn app) I'm having some problems with it that I think have to do with redrawing the screen after updates. Here are the symptoms: 1. OnPreferenceChangeListener#onPreferenceChange if I change summary of the preference by doing Preference#setSummary the new value is painted over the old one creating unsightly effect 2. My preferences screen is large enough that user has to scroll. While scrolling, the whole screen get all messed up, again it looks like view is redrawn (when scrolled) without erasing the background first.

Android :: Leaked Window In Preference Activity

Jan 30, 2009

I've created a set of preference screens building on the tuts on androidguys. My preference XML contains nested PreferenceScreens. The below doesn't occur in the root screen, only once clicking to a child PreferenceScreen. Once in that PreferenceScreen, even before selecting an EditPreference, if I change orientation (i.e. flick the G1 keyboard out) I get an error: 01-30 09:33:54.080: ERROR/WindowManager(1261): android.view.WindowLeaked: that was originally added here.I have previously overcome this in other activities by utilising the onPause etc methods with custom dialogs I use. How can I prevent this in the PreferenceActivity? What am I missing?

Android :: Preference Activity / Multiple Preferences

Nov 4, 2010

Is it possible to use the PreferenceActivity and PreferenceScreen to manage multiple instances of preferences fro a single app? It seems that they store preferences as "default" preferences only. I would like to use a PreferenceScreen as my configure activity for an AppWidget, but I need to be able to store distinct preferences for each widget.

Android :: Preference Activity And Theme Not Applying

Apr 11, 2010

I have a problem in the Preferences Activity, in the main preferences the theme shows ok, but if I get to a sub preference, the theme gets messy, it is not white as it should, it is all dark, and the font is black so you can't see much, and when I start clicking on any items they will get sometimes white as they should but revert to black soon after. This is only happens on 2.1, in both the real device and emulator. Tested on the emulator running 1.6 and it was working correctly.

Android :: Preference Change Notifying Main Activity

Nov 13, 2009

I think I've missed something in how Android is supposed to work! I have the main Activity with a menu option that opens the preferences screen. What I need is a way for any changes that were made to be communicated back to the main Activity as soon as the preference is activated. At the moment the only way I could get it working is by using the intent data that gets sent back when the prefs activity closes but this isn't really enough. The reason why it needs to be instantaneous is that one of the preferences is a 'Clear cache' button, so I would like the data to be deleted when the user requests it and no later!

Android :: Save Configuration Value As Integer In Preference Activity?

Sep 16, 2010

Is there a way how I can tell the Preference Activity that value should be saved as integer? So far my all values are saved as strings... I can limit input to integers via XML easy:

<EditTextPreference android:key="SomeKey" android:numeric="integer" />

but it is still saved as string and later trying to getInt("SomeKey") on preferences object I always get java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String.

Is there a way that EditTextPreference value would be saved not as string? Or maybe I should use some other type of Preference for numeric input?

Android :: Displaying Activity With Custom Animation

Jun 21, 2010

I have a widget which starts an activity when it is clicked. I'd like to have some kind of fancy animation to display this activity, rather than the standard scroll-from-right of Android. I'm having problems setting it, though.But then where do I reference it from? I've tried both the base element of the activity I want to slide in, and the activitiy's entry in the manifest,I might be doing this all wrong. Any help is much appreciated!

Android :: Displaying Real Time Information During The Execution Of An Activity

Apr 6, 2009

I want to display the status of the activity execution on the screen using the TextView while activity is executing. I am appending the String messages at different stages of execution in the TextView, which is defined in the Layout main.xml (e.g. TextView.append("Server started..").

For e.g. I am running socket communication application in which my android application is the server and it is receiving the messages from the local desktop. So in this application I want to show "Server started.." message when socket server on android started , then a messge "waiting for message.." and then "message receivied.." when message received by android server.All 3 steps are the part of a single activity.

But in my case, I am getting all 3 messages at a time after activity execution completed. Is there any API available, using which I can show the status during the execution also.

Android :: Get Shared Preferences From A Preference Activity In Android?

Apr 10, 2010

I am using a PreferenceActivity to show some settings for my application.I am inflating the settings via a xml file so that my onCreate (and complete class methods).These preferences will automatically save to SharedPreferences as the user interacts with them. To retrieve an instance of SharedPreferences that the preference hierarchy in this activity will use, call getDefaultSharedPreferences(android.content.Context) with a context in the same package as this activity.

Android :: Progressdialog Slow To Show

I'm starting a ProgressDialog using:

ProgressDialog.show(Example.this, " " , " Loading. Please wait ... ", true,true);

Then running a block of code to download and parse XML.

The problem I'm having is that this is all running under a onClick button method, and that the xml is downloaded and parsed before the dialog is shown.

Android :: ProgressDialog Doesn't Show

May 9, 2010

I'm trying to create a ProgressDialog for an Android-App (just a simple one showing the user that stuff is happening, no buttons or anything) but I can't get it right. I've been through forums and tutorials as well as the Sample-Code that comes with the SDK, but to no avail.

This is what I got:

CODE:..........

I've also tried adding pd.show(); and messed around with the parameter in new ProgressDialog resulting in nothing at all (except errors that the chosen parameter won't work), meaning: the ProgressDialog won't ever show up. The app just keeps running as if I never added the dialog.
