Android :: Activities And ListActivities With Button And Lists
Apr 22, 2010
I'm developing a real-time informations about train. The application will connect to a XML plateform that will give the next trains with a station given. I'm a beginner in Android development, and I'm stuck to a class- problem (I think...).
In details, the problem is, when I start the application, the user get a screen with 2 buttons, one of them get the user to a new screen with stations list. But, my problem is, I can't put buttons and lists in the same class. I explain, to get a list on the screen, I have to put : "public class NextTrain extends ListActivity {" but the buttons function doesn't work (the app crashs). By the way, if I put "public class NextTrain extends Activity {" the buttons works but not the list (no crash, but the screen doesn't display anything).

I'd like to dedicate this thread specifically to the evaluations and feedback for various Todo's, Todo Lists, Tasks, Task Lists, Lists, etc.I'd like to keep this separate from Notepads as I've dedicated that to another thread ( Notepads and Notepad's that sync - Evaluations and Reviews ).Doing a search for Todo's and Tasks on the Android Market comes up with so many results. Rather than downloading and trying out so many, I'd like to know which ToDo's and Task Lists, etc. are recommended.I've been searching for ToDo lists and Astrid is frequently mentioned. Other sync or link to Google Tasks or sync with Google as well.Other ToDo / Task Lists? What are some ToDo / Task you've downloaded and/or experimented with? Please comment on other such productivity Apps. Please indicate if they
1) Offer Multiple Lists
2) Folders
3) Sync
4) Email
5) Offer other unique features

I guess my previous question wasn't clear enough ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2549585/android-failed-to-setcontentview-when-switching-to-listactivity ), so I explain as follows.
In my app I have two listactivities which uses two different listviews:
CODE:.......
As required by android, listview must have an ID which is exactly "@android:id/list". If I set the listview in both listview1 and listview2 with the same ID, then they will end up using the same format of listview, which is not what I want. But if I set one of the IDs to be sth like "@+id/listview2", android gave me the error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'
My listview is sort of complicated, customed list with image icons and text, so in my code, I also extended the ListAdapter:
CODE:........

I have an Android app that has both CursorAdapter based ListViews (backed by sqlite) as well as custom BaseAdapter based ListViews which are built on the fly from JSON pulled down from a server.
The data displayed in both is identical - an image and a couple of TextViews. My Cursor-based ListView has 3000 rows, the JSON-based ListView has about 30. However, scrolling down the list is significantly faster for the Cursor-based adapter. For the JSON-based lists, the data is all fetched before the rows are made visible. Images for both types of lists are downloaded on-demand.
I have both ListViews configured identically - both with fastScrollEnabled, scrollingCache and smoothScrollbar set to true.
I'm looking for leads on how to go about trying to figure out what's going on here and to potentially fix it so that the JSON-based ListViews as as fast as the Cursor-based ones.

I am writing a android application where, on startup activity view, I have a button "DoIt". When user clicks "DoIt" button, I start another activity with different layout. On newly started activity, I have a button "Back" which should take me to the first activity. How to accomplish this. What code should I write on OnClick method of "Back" button. Also, I want the newly created activity to die after back button is pressed and application comes back to start-up activity.

I have created two tabs, say TAB1 and TAB2. For TAB1, i have loaded one Activity, say ActivityOne, into TAB1 as Code...
When we click on that button ActivityOne_One will be launched under same TAB1. In this application i have two problems:
1) If i want to go back to ActivityOne under same TAB1 by using traditional BACK button on emulator it is not working..
2)ActivityOne_One is launching with no animation(like sliding from right to left) effect.
If anyone know about any one of these, give your advice.

When i leave my app after pressing home button and then re launch it from menus it behaves in a strange way.Sometimes it launches the same activity on which i pressed home button.But sometimes it launches the first activity of my app. One reason for this could be that whenever system has memory shortage it clears any activities existing in But the strange thing is if i press back button from first activity it takes me back to the same activity on which i pressed home button and all other previous activities are also there(like if i press back button again previous activities also exist.)I haven't set any launching mode for any activity in my app(like single instance etc).What i don't need is that previous activities load on pressing back button on first activity.

I'm new to android development but I have run through various tutorials and am slowly grasping how to develop apps. I modified the Tab Layout tutorial on the android dev website to fit my needs, and now I need to add a list on to each tab I have created. there are a total of seven tabs and each will have it's on specific list. If someone could point me in the right direction to adding a list per tab that would be great. Each tab has it's own class file, would I add the list items as strings in the strings.xml then add code to each tab's class file in order to populate the tab? This was the only thing I have found so far, but it hasn't worked.

I have a 3 buttons, say LanguageButton, CountryButton and PinCodeButton. When LanguageButton is pressed, I must display a list of languages. Similarly for CountryButton a list of countries and so on. Only one list is to be displayed at a time.
My question is whether it is better to define a single ListView in my layout or 3 separate ListViews for each list in my layout!
I tried to use a single ListView and set corresponding adapters when different buttons are pressed, i.e in onClick() of languageButton, I give setAdapter(languageArray);
But my doubt arose in implementing the onItemClick() of the list. Because what must be done whenfirst item is clicked in languageList is different from what must be done in countryList. Hence that would add to more code in the java file.
So I am just wondering whether I should simplify my onItemClick() code by defining separate ListViews, or should I simplify my layout and add logic to code?

How to make lists look different than your everyday average black list or more graphically pleasing than you usually see in android apps. I've looked through google code but haven't found too many. I'm looking for different and eye catching lists. I hope this question isn't too generic. Also i'm open to anything, code, examples, blog posts, etc, you name it. I've really struggled with lists and making them look more snazzy. I'm talking more the code level not the graphics or icons used.

I'm new to android, and loving it. I'm after a twitter app, that specifically has a widget that can display a list, rather than just the main timeline. I've tried lots of the popular apps but haven't managed to find anything that ticks that box.

I want to view two listviews at the same time. This is not the problem!
What I don't know if it's possible is if I can have two different context menus for the two lists? And second, is there a way to check in which of the two lists the user has selected an item?

Say I have a list of Strings with the elements:
"One",
"Two",
"Three",
"Four"
I want to center them in the middle of the screen but I want to do it in a way that the start of each word is next to each other.
Like this:
One
Two
Three
Four
Considering that the font probably has different length per character, how do I do this best in Android?

I wish to send a list containing objects from server to client and vice versa through httpurlconnection. Elaborating the same, the list contains a set of objects which is defined both in the server and the client. Its just that the server queries a database and sends the object to the client which collects the same and displays it to the user. Please let me know if thats possible and if it is, how would I be able to accomplish that.

I'm working on my first Android app, and would appreciate any guidance to make sure I'm doing this the best way. Basically I want an Activity to list recipes. Eventually I'll have another Activity to display an individual recipe selected from the list, but I'm not worrying about that yet.
The list of recipes should show each recipe's title, description, rating, and date added. For each recipe in the list I'd like the title on the top left of the list entry, rating on the top right, description on the bottom left, and date added on the bottom right. I may want to add photo, icons representing properties of the recipe (e.g. vegetarian), etc. The makes me think that each item in the list should be a TableLayout.
With all that in mind, here's what I'm planning to write:
1. Write class RecipesDataAdapter extends BaseAdapter. Override the getView() method to return an instance of TableLayout. Populate each instance of TableLayout with two TableRows, the first row containing cells for title and rating, and the second row containing cells for description and date added. For now I'll just pass the Recipe instances to the adapter in an array.
2. Write class ListRecipesActivity that extends ListActivity. Override the onCreate() method to obtain instances of the Recipe class and call the setListAdapter() method with an instance of the RecipesDataAdapter class.
Notice that all this is done in code without any layout XML files. All the examples of Activities that I've seen use a layout XML file and call setContentView(R.layout.layout_name) but I'm not sure if I need to do that for this, or even how I would do that considering my main Activity is a list of non-trivial things (TableLayout).

I'm not sure if I completely grasp the Android permissions model. I recently started working on a simple widget to put the phone to sleep. Of course, it always gets a security exception because an ordinary user app isn't allowed to call the Power Manager method 'goToSleep' because it's requires the 'signature' level permission DEVICE_POWER. But I could find nowhere in the docs or on Google that officially says that.Is there some document that lists the permission levels of android platform defined permissions? Or, am I looking at permissions completely wrong?

I want to display contact information in a custom layout. My app lets the user select a contact, then I retrieve key pieces of info on that contact (phone #'s, email addy's, etc). I want to display them to the user so they look grouped logically. Sort of like a series of tables, so phone numbers, then email addys, then organization, etc.
I have a table format that I've been using in a different part of the app where I know the exact number of rows I'm adding and I have defined styles for the rows already. I want to reuse those styles for this data, but android sdk won't allow for you to set the style attribute programmatically.
I could create the tables in code and set all the attributes the same as in my defined styles, but it seems like a lot of extra coding.

I want to have more than one expandable list within a layout. It appears that an expandable list in a custom layout must have an id of "@id/android:list". So, how could I have more than one if they would need to have the same id?
