Android :: Defined Color Under Res / Values Not Usable In Code
Jul 15, 2010I defined a white color in mycolors.xml under res/values as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="my_white">#ffffffff</color>
</resources>
In my code, I set the text color of a TextView as the white color I defined:
TextView myText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_text);
myText.setTextColor(R.color.my_white);
But the text in the TextView turned out to be a black color. When I use @color/my_white in layout xml files, it works fine. I check the generate R.java, and see: public static final int my_white=0x7f070025;
Android :: Not Able To Use New Resource Identifiers With TargetSdkVersion Defined In Manifest?
Jul 9, 2010I'm developing an Android application that I'd like to be compatible with 1.5 (SDK version 4).
I'm testing the application on 2.2 (SDK version 8).
To do this, I'm including in the manifest file the line <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
I thought this would allow me to use the newest manifest elements and APIs, but I'm getting a compile error whenever I try to use them. For example, I try to define the element installLocation to allow the app to be installed on the SD card, but Eclipse gives me the error
No resource identifier found for attribute 'installLocation' in package 'android'
Is there something else I have to do to get this to work? If I can't get this to work, what benefit is defining targetSdkVersion?

Android :: Java.lang.ClassCastException When Using Self-defined ListAdapter In Listview
Mar 11, 2010I am writing a adapter for a specific app, the problem I met is:
I have only 1 listview in main.xml, and the row style is defined in file_row.xml. If I simply use list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); where items is a ArrayList<String>, everything works well.
But if I use my custom Adapter, say, list.setAdapter(new MyOwnListAdapter(this, filename)); and in the class of MyOwnListAdapter, the code has been simplified as
CODE:................
But I always met the problem which is:
CODE:.........
I thought the self-defined Adapter class actually has only one line of valid execution, which is super(context, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, filename_list); It's essentially identical to direct calling of list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); Then why I always got this error if I call my own Adapter?

Android :: Write / Read Access To SD Card In Manifest File
Mar 1, 2010Is there a right associated with write/read access to the sd card that needs to be set in the manifest.xml file? I'm currently trying to write to the sd card using a standard FileOutputStream here:
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/ sdcard/images/"+imageName);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
But it doesn't seem to be working. It just says the location isn't found, which can happen if there are no permissions to read/write to the location.

will result in text of size 20 px right? What's the quickest way of making this 20 dip, other than adding a resource?
Android :: Android - Manifest TargetSdkVersion Change - Icon Not Visible - Widget No Longer Works - Cannot Access Data
Mar 20, 2010I recently upgraded my Android app to support multiple resolutions. Previously, my Android.manifest file had a line:
To support multiple density and resolution devices, I changed this to:
CODE:............
I then added a couple of new directories, like drawable-hdpi-v4 and drawable-long-hdpi-v4 that includes the high-res versions of the graphics. That's about it.
Ever since releasing this update, there have been a decent number of users complaining about various problems:
the app icon doesn't appear (I did not create a high res version of the icon)
the home screen widget no longer works, even if they delete and re-add it (this code did not change with the update). I've had a user send me their error log, which shows:
CODE:................
There is one questionable section in my existing widget code that may be relevant:
CODE:..........
And perhaps most troublesome: the sqlite database is no longer accessible/writeable for some users so their data is no longer available. I did add the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to the manifest. This is only happening to certain users and it tends to be HTC Eris users. In that error log I see things such as:
CODE:.........
It's as if the update has caused a new process and it can't access the old process's data, or something.

Oct 1, 2010In 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.

Android :: Using Generics In Java Code
Sep 28, 2010I need to de-serialise a file into an object of a given type. Basically the method will do this:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
MyClass newObject = (MyClass)in.readObject();
in.close();
return newObject;
I would like this method to be generic, therefore I can tell it what type I want to in.readObject() to cast its output into, and return it. Hope this makes sense...then again, I probably didn't understand generics properly and this is not actually possible, or advisable.
