View 1 RepliesI have an Absolute Layout with two buttons on top, a Text View of fixed size in the middle and List View as the rest of the Layout.
I want to use the top left button to add a list view item to the existing list and the top right button to remove the last item from the list. The List is layed out properly when the App starts, but as soon as any of the two buttons is pressed, the Activity Force Closes.
Here is the code:..................
I am trying to populate a spinner depending on another spinner's selected item, my code is the following:
CODE:.................
what is intriguing me is that the first spinner onitemselection works perfectly ( I can see the values in LogCat) then when I change selection of the 2nd spinner I am gettging an error on this line: String selected= (String) s2.getSelectedItem(); So the compiler gets insisde then onItemSelected function of the 2nd spinner but throws an Handler exceltion on s2.getSelectedItem()
why? it works perfectly for the 1st spinner.
Is it possible to dynamically set the drawSelectorOnTop attribute on a Spinner instead of having to do it in the layout XML?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have an XML file placed in the res/xml folder containing our preferences.
Is it possible at runtime to add new items to the preferences.
Example:
The user starts the app and the preferences consists of:
America
- New York - Los Angeles - Chicago
Where all the cities are CheckBoxPreferences.
Then the user performs some actions in the application and this triggers that two new cities are added to the preferences:
America
- New York - Los Angeles - Chicago - Seatlle - Washington
Anyone that know if it possible at all and how to do it?

How can I create Spinner with customized items? Normally it is possible to have spinner items with text and checkboxes on the right, but I would like to have one part of the item's text black and the second part gray. I tried to create custom ArrayAdapter for the Spinner but I just can't figure out how to do it.

personalinformation.setAdapter(adapterDefaultpersonal);
personalinformation.setSelection( getSharedPreferences("", 0).getInt("SpinnerSelection", 0));
personalinformation.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{ public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,View v,int position,long id) {
if(position==0) { } } );
This is the spinner code I am using array of text list these text replaced to drawable items in to spinner how can implemented some solution I am new in android.
I am trying to change the text color of the spinner list items individually. I would like to be able to color the top three texts black and then the bottom four grey. This way the last items look disabled, but I still want to be able to capture the event when they are chosen. I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do that. Alternatively I would like to disable som list items, but still be able to capture the event when they are chosen.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an android spinner that's populated by a list of strings using an ArrayAdapter and it operates fine, however because of the way the spinner is displayed I'm running into a display height problem with the list items.
At first glance it would seem that the ArrayAdapter can use a single layout for displaying options which leads to the problem I'm having. When displaying the current item in the spinner (when the user is not selecting a new item from the list) the spinner pads the text so that the spinner is a reasonable size for clicking on. However when the user taps on it and brings up the list to select a new item, the list items presented are way to small height-wise. If I use an item layout that presents the list items at a reasonable height, then the spinner itself becomes exorbitantly huge due to it's own padding of the list item.
Any ideas on how I can manage the height of these two item display modes so that effectively they display with the same height value instead of the spinner height being larger than the list item display height?
Im using a custom listView with a Title and a Subtitle where you can read a brief explanation of the item.
For each item on the list, im displaying an alertDialog to select an option (different for each case). When the option is selected, i want to change the Subtitle for the option selected by the user.
This is what i tried:
CODE:.....................
For the first item on the list it works fine, when i select an option, the subtitle get replaced by that option, but when i make a selection in the alertDialogs of the other 2 items, the option selected replaces the subtitle of the first item!

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I'm still just learning Android (and it appears Amazon says it'll be 2 months till I get the Hello, Android book) I'm still playing around with doing simple things. I have no problem getting an icon to display with the click of a button on my RelativeLayout using ImageView. The code for creating it is as follows:
private int mIconIdCounter = 1;
private ImageView addIcon(){
ImageView item = new ImageView(this);
item.setImageResource( R.drawable.tiles );
item.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT );

params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1 );
}
item.setLayoutParams( params );
item.setId( mIconIdCounter );

I've got an activity for which I've defined an intent filter statically in AndroidManifest.xml. I'd like to register additional intents dynamically to that same intent filter in the activity's onStart() method. Is this possible?

I have a custom view (an extension of a TextView) that I want to dynamically add to my Layout (don't want to include it in the main.xml file).
The book says to fetch the RelativeLayout using findViewById() in my java code then create a new instance of my custom view, then use addView on the RelativeLayout to add the new view.
I'm not getting any errors, but when I click my button to add the new view, nothing is happening (view isn't being added). Do I need to set additional properties on my custom view (layout width, layout height for example) in order for it to be shown?

I gather information about certain events from a webpage, and then I want to display all events in a list using the above layout for each event. My current approach is to have a LinearLayout as parent and then adding each event as a row.
Problem number one is to add the layout to each event (the number of events is varying). I.e., I want to dynamically inflate this layout for each event. I also don't want the text to be hard coded into the layout (as above) but added at runtime. I don't know how to do this. I have tried something like the following without any success.
LinearLayout eventView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.layout.event);
parentView.addView(eventView);
Problem number two is then to add these layouts to the parent view group and display it on the screen. When I try to do this using parent.addView(child), the program crashes at runtime and I can't figure out why.
It's kind of hard to describe the specific problem, since I'm new to GUI-programming on Android and I'm sort of programming by trial and error right now. Anyway, if you are able to help me with some of the problems it would be greatly appreciated. Linus
EDIT:
The problem now is adding text dynamically to the TextViews. I try this:
TextView dest = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.destination);dest.setText("myText");
only to discover that dest is null. Any ideas why and how to fix this?
EDIT 2:
I have narrowed the problem even more, but I really don't understand its nature. This is the trouble-method: Code...
it somehow works (even though the events are displayed in reverse order). Anyone knows what's going on here?
After the listview is already initialized, is it possible to add items to it during runtime?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I add a new item to my ItemizedOverlay the onTap display I have set appears X times, where X is equal to the number of items that I added. So for example, if I add one item and tap it, it the onTap method gets called once, and in the LogCat I get:
02-04 23:28:56.188: INFO/NotificationService(52): enqueueToast pkg=android.mapit callback=android.app.ITransientNotification$Stub $Proxy@4394c100 duration=0
If I add a second item and click ANY of the other items, the onTap method gets called twice and I get the following in LogCat:

If I add a third item and click ANY of the other items, the onTap method gets called three times and I get the following in LogCat:
