I can access android.R.string.ok value from java code, but can't see how to do the same in layout xml file - I only have @string/xxx in autocompletion list which does not have system string values.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI think I have a pretty easy problem to solve, but I have been beating my head against the wall for hours trying to get past it! I have an adapter that loads a list of URLS:
adapter=new MyAdapter(this, lStrings);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
The list of URLS looks like this:
private String[] lStrings={
"http://www.domain.com/file1.jpg",
"http://www.domain.com/file2.jpg",
"http://www.domain.com/file3.jpg",
};
What I want instead is to load these values from a text file that lies on the SD card. For that matter, I would be okay with loading the values from a text file into a String, and then load the String into the list as I imagine that would be the "cleaner approach". However, all attempts to do this have failed. For instance, I replaced the above snippet with this:
private String[] lStrings=
{ MainActivity.this.getString(R.string.myurllist) };
but then I get a Forced Close on loading.
I'm a bit new to Java, Android, and development in general.
In Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to store strings values in multiple files? Eg, strings.xml, strings1.xml, strings2.xml etc.
I do not mean localized versions of the same file - those multiple files should contain different string ids in the same language, so in code they would be refered like: R.strings1.my_string_1 R.strings1.my_string_2 R.strings2.my_string_3 etc. So, "strings1", "strings2", "strings3" would be a kind of namespace for them.
Or, another way is to have multiple R classes inside one project, which would deal with different stringsXXX.xml files.
Like, currently we can refer to "my.name.space.R" and to "android.R" at the same time, so is it possible to have: android.R my.name.space1.R my.name.space2.R etc
At the same time inside single project?
Does anybody know of a work around for the android xml file string array inability to process string <item>'s that are not legal java variable names If not, is this not a major bug? Why does an item in an array need to generate a reference id anyway? Isn't this redundant?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some messages being passed back from my server through php. The problem is that the messages are in English and if the user is using another language they will still get the message in English.
So I had an idea that maybe instead of passing back the message I would instead pass the String resource Id from the android app, that way the app will get the correct string id for their language. I will use this in a number of apps so I just want to know if the string id is guaranteed to be the same across different android projects?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm creating a custom layout and I want to use the text declared in the layout.xml file in my layout.

Looking in the android sdk folders, I've found a file called values/config.xml. This seems to be somewhere that you can define values for later use in layouts and animations.
Given the config.xml:
<resources>
<string name="config_somePadding">50dip</string>
</resources>
How would I reference this to use as the layout_height in a layout xml file?
@string/config_somePadding is actually the only one I've found that doesn't throw an error in Eclipse (even though there isn't a config_somePadding in values/strings.xml), but it appears to just put an empty string.
In the sdk, they use an integer for animation duration. They reference it like this: android:duration="@android:integer/config_longAnimTime". Is there a way to use values that aren't integers in the layout_height attribute?
I have the following snippet of code, i'm trying to get the text values someone types into the EditText's
CODE:............................
My login.xml is pretty standard and straight forward
CODE:........................
So when someone clicks the PositiveButton, how do i get the value of the EditText fields?
I have in many of my screens that re mostly constructed of LinearLayouts a FrameLayout that should take up the bottom leftovers of the screen (using layout_height="0dp" layout_weight="1") inside it there's a FrameLayout with gradients background and in it's middle with some padding lies a button with some text, naturally i need the text and onClicked properties to me different from screen to screen. I considered using <include > tag for the above compound in my layouts, but as far as i can see i can't really change (at least not in xml) the button text and callback, is that really so?
