Android :: Activity That Does Not Fill The Parent Screen

Dec 14, 2009

Any idea why this doesn't create an activity that looks like a popup instead of an activity that completely fills the screen?

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

I assumed that I only needed to set the layout height and layout width to something other than "fill_parent", but it still shows up as a black screen that completely fills the screen.

Ultimately, I simply want to create a popup, but I do not want to use an AlertDialog. Is this possible?

Android :: Textview Fill Parent ?

Jul 15, 2010

I have a simple ExpandalbeList. For the group header view, I'm using a simple TextView, I am setting the background of the text to a drawable. I have the textview parameters set to FILL_PARENT, but the background of the TextView only covers the width of the text. I realize that I can put this all inside of a Linear Layout, but that just seems like a waste. isn't there a way to make the bounds of the text view stretch to the edge of the listview?

Android :: How To Get TableLayout To Fill Parent In Landscape Mode

Dec 27, 2009

I am using a TableLayout in my application. It contains four TableRows each containing four ImageViews. The behavior I want is to scale the layout to fit the shortest dimension. It works fine in portrait mode but fails miserably in landscape mode.

From the documentation it looks like this is because the TableRow layout_height is always set to WRAP_CONTENT. While I can set the dimensions of the individual Views, the TableLayout won't render at all if I set the View layout_height to FILL_PARENT.

I feel like there is something simple I am missing. Is there a way to get the TableLayout with TableRows to scale to fit the height in landscape mode?

Android : How Can I Get A Dialog Style Activity Window To Fill Screen?

Sep 1, 2009

I am using an activity with the dialog theme set, and I want it to be full screen. I tried all sorts of things, even going through the WindowManager to expand the window to full width and height manually, but nothing works. Apparently, a dialog window (or an activity with the dialog theme) will only expand according to its contents, but even that doesn't always work. For instance, I show a progress bar circle which has width and height set to FILL_PARENT (so does its layout container), but still, the dialog wraps around the much smaller progress bar instead of filling the screen. There must be a way of displaying something small inside a dialog window but have it expand to full screen size without its content resizing as well?

Android :: Android Layout - Set Tiled Background To Fill Screen Behind Whole Activity

May 11, 2010

I'm new to android but I've been working my way through the tutoials. Still trying to get my head round layouts in a non-html world and was wondering how to achieve the following....

1) I'd like to set a tiled background to fill the screen behind the whole activity

2) I'd like to place a graphic and a button underneath it centred in the middle of the screen.

3) When the user clicks the button I'd like to start a new activity and presumably I have to do something to the current activity so the user can use the back button to get back to it.

Android :: BringtoFront The Parent Activity?

Sep 7, 2010

As we know, startActivityForResult() used to get a result for a task from parent activity. Here when we click the setResult(). It returns the result to the parent Activity.

Child Activity means it should maintain the persistent state. That is when the users clicks a button on the child activity. It do not finishes that activity and show the Parent Activity. And again i may go to the child activity from parent activity. If the child does not exists it starts a new child activity else it should show the existing child activity with persistent content.

Simply said, my parent Activity starts a new Child Activity. Now both Activities should be alive. How to call the Parent Activity without finishing the child Activity(in other words, How to BringtoFront the parent Activity)? For this scenario,

you can not use startActivity(). Because it creates a new Activity Instance. Not Existing Parent Activity
you can not use startActivityForResult(). Because it finishes the child Activity Instance.

Android :: Finish Parent Activity From Child?

Mar 30, 2010

My child activity X is called from Parent activity P through startActivity(intent). I want to close P when X called its finish() method. I override a method finishFromChild(Activity child) in P and called finish() in it. But this functions (finishFromChild(Activity child)) is not being called after X finish() Is it a known bug or I am missing some thing? I googled and also searched the groups but no help.

An alternative could be... using StartActivityForResult() and a "fake" onActivityResult, where I can finish the parent activity, but this way is quite bad, i think...

I prefer the first one, if it would work....

Android :: Parent And Child Activity OnCreate?

Jul 2, 2010

I have a parent activity, and a child activity that extends the parent activity. When the parent starts the child activity,

Which onCreate gets executed first? The child's or parent's?

There is a particular variable I am setting in the Child activity's onCreate method, and right now, it looks like it takes a while to get to the Child activity's onCreate, and so the methods in the Parent are reporting an empty variable. Whereas when I make the Parent sleep for a while, it reports the correct variable.

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

So, basically, even after the Parent starts the Child, it still returns "Parent Value", but when I have the thread sleep, it return "Child Value".

Android :: Return Back To The Parent Activity From Subactivity

Jun 14, 2010

My application supports twitter and needs to open browser for OAuth. When the user clicks the Share on Twitter button, the main activity will create another subactivity (TwitterActivity) to handle twitter authentication issues. Here is a flow graph showing how activities are invoked currently. Main is short for MainActivity and Twit for Twitter Activity. startActivity() OAuth intent OAuth callback finish()Main ---------------> Twit ------------> Browser --------------> Twit --------> Browser As you may notice, after the TwitterActivity calls finish() to stop, it will now return back to MainActivity, but Browser instead. How can I make it return back to MainActivity?

Android :: Picking A Contact And Returning To The Parent Activity

Jan 28, 2010

I wish to re-use the Contacts application in a way to enable the user to pick a contact and return it to the parent activity (my application's activity).

For achieving this, I want to inquire about the kind of Intent that will be needed to launch the contacts application.

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT, ?); startActivityForResult(.....);

What should be the second argument here ?

In the deprecated Contacts API, I could use the following snippet, but not sure about ContactsContract:

Intent i= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT,People.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(i, reqCode);

Android :: Detect If A View's Parent Activity Is Paused

Jun 20, 2010

In one of my Activities I have a ListView that displays a list of locations. For each list item I want a little arrow icon that points in the direction of the corresponding location. I implemented this icon by extending ImageView. This custom View has a listener that reacts to changes of the device's orientation by rotating the icon image accordingly. I register the listener in the onAttachedToWindow() method and unregister it in onDetachedFromWindow(). This kind of works but the problem is that onDetachedFromWindow() sometimes gets called only a long time after the containing Activity has paused. Also, the whole layout overall seems a little hacky. So my question is: Is there a proper way to unregister the listeners or would you implement this in a completely different way to begin with?

Android : Lifetime Of Background Parent Activity After StartActivityForResult()?

Jul 19, 2010

Is there an exception in the lifetime rules for a parent activity that's in the background after invoking startActivityForResult()? From my understanding, in low memory scenarios, the background activities are killed before the foreground. Does this rule still apply even if the background activity started the foreground one for the purpose of obtaining some result?

In this case, I think it would make sense for the foreground child activity to get killed first or to equalize the lifetime of the parent and child.

Android :: SingleInstance Of The Activity And Relay Information Back To Parent?

May 8, 2009

I basically have three activities X, Y, Z and I want only one instance of each but I want control over the navigation and I can't do that by putting all three activities in one task because of the stack structure.

Here is a scenario, from X I launch Y given a certain "id" which correspondence to specific data in the DB, Y inflates and populates it's views, then I go back to X and launch Y again with a different "id" in the intent, I don't want the overhead of launching the activity and inflating the views again, anyone know how to do this?

I tried using singleInstance, but the problem is that I can't send the result code back to an activity in a different task.

Android :: Create A Single Class Which Can Be Parent For Every Type Of Activity?

Oct 7, 2010

I wish to have a single class which all of my Activity classes extend. I have ListActivities, Activities, MapActivities, TabActivities, etc in my App.

I have many of these different activities in my app, ~12 activities. I want each of them to have the methods which are in the parent class.

Right now, i have created 4 parent activity classes which are extended from a certain activity depending on their type(ListActivity, Activity, MapActivity, TabActivity)

I am creating a lot of redundant code - each of the 4 parent activities has almost identical code, in exception for what class activity it extends.

Here is an example that may clarify what my problem is:

I have an Activity: MenuScreen which extends BaseListActivity BaseListActivity extends ListActivity BaseListActivity contains methods and fields which i want all my activities to have access to I have another Activity: HomeScreen which extends BaseActivity BaseActivity extends Activity BaseActivity contains the same methods and fields which are in my other Base[<type>]Activity classes(such as BaseListActivity)

These methods/fields are copy-pasted to all my Base[<type>]Activity, and seems awfully redundant to me.

Can i create a master activity class which all types of Activity classes can use as its parent? if not, am i stuck with copy and pasting this code and feeling gross/dirty about it?

Android : Forward Activity Result To Parent With SingleTop Launch Mode?

Jun 1, 2010

I have two activities: a MainListActivity, and a DetailViewActivity. DetailViewActivity is set with android:launchMode="singleTop".

When clicking an item in the "main list" activity, it launches the "detail view" activity via:

startActivityForResult(detailIntent, REQUEST_CODE_DETAIL);

If I then call setResult(RESULT_OK, resultData); and finish(); from within the Detail activity, that resultData is received by the "main list" activity's onActivityResult(..) method correctly.

However, if I implement a "see previous"/"see next" type of navigation within the Detail activity, and implement it using singleTop, that result no longer gets sent back to the initial activity:

Intent nextItemIntent = this.createIntent(nextId);
nextItemIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT);
startActivity(nextItemIntent);
// at this point, my DetailActivity's onNewIntent() method is called, and the new data is loaded properly

But from here, when I call setResult(..) and finish(), my MainList activity never receives the new/updated result. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Android :: FinishFromChild And OnActivityResult Not Firing When Child Starts Activity Of Same Type As Parent

Jun 8, 2010

I have an application, which (for the sake of simplicity) has two types of activities - Overview and DetailView. The Overview activity shows a list of steps and allows the user to start a DetailView activity corresponding to the step chosen.

In the DetailView activity, the user can start another Overview, which shows different steps than the ones in the parent of the current DetailView.

In the Overview, DetailView is started by using startActivityForResult (). In the DetailView, when the user decides to start a second Overview, I call setResult () and finish () and then start the new Overview. In this scenario, onActivityResult () and finishFromChild () do not fire. Instead, they fire when the parent finishes (?).

Code from Overview:

Code from DetailView:

Android : Droid TableLayout To Fill Screen?

Mar 6, 2010

I'm battling with Android's retarded layout system. I'm trying to get a table to fill the screen (simple right?) but it's ridiculously hard.

I got it to work somehow in XML like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="A" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="B" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="C" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="D" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>

However I can not get it to work in Java. I've tried a million combinations of the LayoutParams, but nothing ever works. This is the best result I have which only fills the width of the screen, not the height:

table = new TableLayout(this);
// Java. You suck.
TableLayout.LayoutParams lp = new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
table.setLayoutParams(lp); // This line has no effect! WHYYYY?!
table.setStretchAllColumns(true);
for (int r = 0; r < 2; ++r)
{
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
for (int c = 0; c < 2; ++c)
{
Button btn = new Button(this);
btn.setText("A");
row.addView(btn);
}
table.addView(row);}
