View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to include one button inside each row in a List Activity. When pressing one of these buttons it will be disabled and will perform a heavy task in the background (in a different thread to avoid screen blocking). After the action is completed the button will be enabled again and the row updated with some results obtained from that "heavy operation". Im filling my List with a custom SimpleCursorAdapter, its getView method calls super.getView and in the view (row) returned I access its button through findViewById and set my click listener (to disable it, and launch the heavy task in the background). Once this heavy task is finished I need a reference to this row view to find the button and re- enable it. SimpleCursorAdapter´s super.getView() reuses row views shown on screen to avoid creating many different rows instances, so when my "heavy task" is finished the row view reference i need to reenable its button may have been reused in a different row, so in the end I am modifying a button in a different row! I have tried different solutions, for example giving different ID to each row view (useless because it gets overwritten when the row view is reused) Obviously creating a different row instance for each row whether its shown on screen or not isnt the best solution.

I would like to know whether there is a way to insert/inject a <string> element defined in an XML file into another <string> element, doing that just with XML.
For example I could have:
<string name="author">Francesco</string>`
and I am looking for something like:
<string name="about_application">Author: @string/author</string>`
so that getString(R.string.about_application) would result in "Author: Francesco".
I know that I could combine the two elements in Java code using String.format(string, formatArgs)like for example:
<string name="author">Francesco</string>
<string name="about_application">Author: %1$s</string>`
and then in code use
String.format(getString(R.string.about_application), getString(R.string.author))
but I would like to do it in XML directly. Can anyone suggest me a way to do it?
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but...Why can't I nest another view type within a View element? In my layout file I try:

View 11 Replies View RelatedIn the application I am working on now I came up with the following problem. I have list view which is displaying items with images in most cases it will be different image for different items (thumbnails about 60x60 pixels). So the problem is how can I handle image processing for the view. For know I have the following variants:
1. I can cache all bitmaps and when I try to display view I get bitmap from cache synchronously and display it. The problem is that 60x60=3600x4=14kb per bitmap which is waste of resources.
2. When I need to display view I can register event to some thread to decode the associated bitmap which will decode it in background and than to update gui. This sounds good for me the scrolling is still smooth because all image processing is done in background. Updating list view is bit jerky for now I am doing it view notifyDataSetChanged which is updating all visible views although I can update thumbnail for a single item.
So question one is is there better way the update single listview element than calling notifyDataSetChanged.
I am getting a parsing error and I do not know why (I am new to programing). Because of this error, R.java disappears and I end up having more errors. Hopefully someone can help me out. Here is where the error comes from: list.xml. Code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI added some UI elements to the main.xml file in the reslayout folder and when I try to access them through the call, R . layout. my _ uielement, the UI element that I created is not there. Even when I add a new xml file with UI elements, it still doesn't show up in the R.layout class. I have made checked the ids on them and they have the correct format (I think): android:id="@+id/my_button". What could be the problem? Do I need to compile the code first? UPDATE: I have already tried adb kill-server then adb start-server. It doesn't seem to help. I have also tried R.id.my_uielement, it doesn't register either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm loading a URL into a WebView and I'm having difficulty setting the "scale" of the web-page. Specifically, the web-page is too big (800x600) for the screen, so my thought is to use "setInitialScale(50)" to reduce the size. Here is some sample code that doesn't work (i.e. the web-page doesn't scale to 50%)
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom");
wv.setInitialScale(50);
I also tried switching the order of the function calls but I get the same result¦i.e.,
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview); wv.setInitialScale(50); wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom");
As an alternative, I have tried to use the "zoomOut()" function like this:
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom"); wv.zoomOut();
This approach works for a split second, and then the image reverts to its original size.
Here is my content view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"
