i was wondering if there is any way to load resource (such as skins etc.) that include drawables and layout information during runtime. what i mean is that the user can download a file (probably a signed apk - would it work any other way?) and would be able to install it adding to an already existing application thus adding more resources to it.

I have a language setting in my application. When the language is switched, I would like all the textviews etc to change language immediately. Currently I just change the locale in the configuration, so the language has changed when the user restarts the activity.
Solution to my problem would be to make each textview load the new resources each time the language is changed. Is there a better solution? Perhaps a neat way to discretely restart the activity? Or maybe just force reload of the resources?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created an activity by using a layout written in a XML file. I would like, in response to some events, to change the content of this activity. I would like to show a VideoView over the content. In response to some other event, I may want to go back to the first content. Would it be possible to switch the content of the activity this way without running another activity (I have another technical difficult in doing that)? I tried using setContentView( videoView), and then switching back with setContentView(T.layout.main), but it seems that, when going back to the main layout, all my buttons and text boxes are created again as they were new. Would it be possible to go back to the last state of all the controls?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am having an EditText. If i specify image for the EditText in the layout XML file (android:back ground) it looks different and looks different when i specify it at runtime EditText et = (EditText)find ViewById (R.drawable .et1) ; et.setBackgroundDrawable (Main.themes.getDrawable (EDRAWABLES.EditText BackgroundImage )); Both codes point to the same image. When i specify the image at runtime , the EditText leaves a margin at the top and bottom of the cursor in the edittext which does not happen when i do it in XML. I have attached the screenshots of both images. Top image is the one drawn from XML and bottom one is given at runtime. I am not getting the difference ? Actually i am facing similar problems with other Widgets too if i change the logic of specifying the drawable at runtime and not at compile time.. Is this the default SDK behaviour?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:
InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)
However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?
Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a few classes that are called by an activity (some statically) in which I want to use a string resource. I tried: Resources.getSystem().getString(R.string.mystring), but am getting an error. It seems as though you can only use this within an activity.

I have an app with 2 Activities and an IntentService all which need to access the same SQLite Database table. What's an appropriate pattern to use?
Should I create a ContentProvider that manages access to the database, ie opening/closing, querying, updating etc. And have the 3 clients all access the DB via the ContentProvider?
Or is it OK for each client to access the DB directly? This is the approach I have now and it seems to be working, but I need to close my cursor and the DB after executing every statement or I start generating stacktraces in the log about unclosed DB resources. But closing the DB after each statement seems wasteful and I suspect that this approach will always be susceptible to the stacktraces because there is always the potential for collisions between either of the Activities and the IntentService.
I haven't been able to find any good resources that show DB usage in full. It always snippets that miss out the *obvious* piece such as when should the resources be closed etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Android app for which we will be selling separate content in the Android Market. Since Android lacks an in-app purchasing model as iOS has, I have come to understand that this is the ideal way of selling additional content (but NOT functionality) for Android apps.
So the question is, how do I actually load raw resources from other Android apps, assuming that I know the exact name of the resource, app ID, etc.?
Is it possible to share resources across APK's? For example, can application A (in APK A) load an icon or layout view from application B (in APK B)?

Need some advice from you experts out there. I've just started with Android programming and while I finally got what I want my "Hello World" to do, I feel as if I'm bludgening my way through rather than grasping concepts. I created three EditText boxes. Below those I created three Spinners. Pick a number in the Spinner and it will show up in the corresponding EditText box. Spinner 1 correlates to EditText 1, Spinner 2 to EditText 2 and Spinner 3 to EditText 3. I had a hell of a time getting this to work. I do have some cleaning up to do. Is there a better way to pass or reference resources around various classes?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy calls to getFromLocationName() always fail the "first" time I start my app. I catch the IOException which has reason:
Unable to parse response from server
Then I make a second call and it succeeds. Once things are "awake" all future calls to getFromLocationName() succeed, it's just that first one, and there is a ton of latency.
I haven't run this on a device yet, just in the emulator. This seems like a network problem, but it is so reproducible I'm thinking I'm not initializing something properly. I'm using Android SDK 1.1.
