Android :: An Empty Listview Rendered?
Feb 22, 2010If a listview is not given any items, how is it rendered? Will it still expand to fill the space in the layout allotted to it?

If a listview is not given any items, how is it rendered? Will it still expand to fill the space in the layout allotted to it?
For some reason the empty view (TextView in this case) always appears, even when the List is not empty. I thought the ListView would automatically detect when to show the empty view.How can I hook up the empty view properly?

However, my empty list view consist only of the ImageView listed first inside the nested LinearLayout.
This seems like a reasonable thing to do but I don't completely understand Android's layout rules yet.
I'm developing an Android application.Is there any way to show a message on a ListView only with it's empty?I'm using a custom ArrayAdapter, so I have to create a specific object with the text I want to show.I'm wondering if there is a specific field on ListView to setup a message when it's empty.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that with alphabetical headers for each letter. I also have an index function that brings the letter headers to the top of the screen.
My problem is when I reach the end of the list setSelection is unable to bring the last few headers to the top because it will not scroll past the end of the list.
My question is this: Is there a way to add a blank space to the end of the screen dependent on screen size? I would like to scroll until the last item in the list is at the top of the listView.

The background (example:Splash screen) that i have developed for my app is being rendered very badly on some android devices.By bad i mean the actual composition of brightness,contrast, sharpness all is getting very messed up, resulting in a very different background color than the one i originally created.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid's textView does not correctly input characters when left-to- right Unicode characters, such as those of Hebrew or Arabic, are used. For languages such as Arabic, morph transformation is also required that is not done correctly either (or at all!).This is also obvious when using Facebook App on Android to read posts in LTR languages, which is completely messed up and totally illegible.Can someone from Android OS address this? I would like to extend our patented virtual keyboard (MessagEase) for Entering Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic, among other languages, but currently it's impossible to do so.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an element in the page that under certain circumstances has to get the margin-top increased. as the title says, the element is systematically rendered in the page via xml. Only in certain circumstances, and when that specific view is already rendered, I need to increase the margin. Is it possible at all? workaround?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo the situation is this, I have a ListView that is embedded in two LinearLayout ViewGroups to form a screen. BaseAdapter.get View() (the implementation of the ListAdapter) is typically called n times (where n is numElements) to render the screen. The problem I have is this set of calls is being repeated for every ViewGroup that the list is contained in...So for a Layout like this:
-LinearLayout --Linearlayout ---ListView
The adapters get View() is being called n*3 times (3 = 1 for the parent LinerarLayout, one for the child LinearLayout and one for the List itself).
This is obviously a problem when the items in the List are expensive to build (even with recycling).
So I'm looking for some guidance on this, as the documentation doesn't seem to note this behavior from what I can see.
A small, basic example of the source is located on my post here http://www.anddev.org/listview_getting_rendered_multiple_times-t5290.... with more details Oswell as a ready made eclipse project(also attached below) if anyone is keen to try it out.
I have just started working on the live wallpapers and have gone through some examples (Fountain). Examples are using rendered scripts which are placed in raw folder. I am new to the scripts and looking for a documentation which can help me to start understanding it. Can please someone let me know where to start from?

I cannot read it from my phone or computer. It doesn't even show that it is there. I lost all my photos and music. Bummer! Learn from my experience and remove the SD card before installing the update, just in case.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSo my boyfriend has the Moto Droid. Every night he puts it on charger dock and in the morning picks phone up and its 100%, five minutes later it will die completely. He bought a new battery, plus a battery charger, a new car charger and home charger but it still does it. Basically has to be charged all day long to be used. Has this happened to anyone else?
Also, tried replacing. Upon receiving replacement it was rendered defective due too loose screen. New one coming friday.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I empty the logcat buffer in Android? I use adb logcat from command line and pipe the output to a file, since the DDMS has a very limited buffer. At the moment, when I restart my app (after fixing bugs etc) the logcat buffer has data from the previous launch as well. Even uninstalling the app does not clear the buffer. The only way I've found so far to clear the buffer, is reboot. This is effective, but would like to know if there's an easier way.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I create a new arraylist of size 5...
And then I try to add to the middle of that arraylist...orderedPlayers.add(2, P);
I get an indexoutofbounds...I also get indexoutofbounds if I use set instead of add...orderedPlayers.set(2, P);
In fact the only way I can add P to the arraylist is if I use the 0 index...orderedPlayers.add(0, P);
And also for some strange reason when I do that my debugger in eclipse sees that element added to the 4th index of orderedPlayers instead of the 0th... is ArrayList buggy or am I completely missing something? how would I add to the middle of a null ArrayList?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Spinner whose items comes from an ArrayAdaper, and I want the Spinner to initially show that no item has been selected. When the user clicks on the Spinner it's DropDownView should display just those items available for selection.
I don't want to add an empty/blank item at the head of my list of items because that means that it shows as an avalaible selection in the DropDownView and looks pretty lame. And if a selection is made I want it to be a valid one.
I tried spinner#setSelection(-1); but that doesn't work. The first item remains selected.
I tried setting no Adapter initially (which provides the desired initial view) and had hoped to configure the appropriate adapter in the OnClickListener, but spinner#setOnClickListener throw a RuntimeException saying "You probably want to use #setOnItemClickListener instead". And trying to use #setOnItemClickListener throws a RuntimeException saying it is not valid for a Spinner.
Surely this is a common use case. How can I set the Spinner to initially show as empty?
Creating a Drawable that is completely empty seems like a common need, as a place holder, initial state, etc., but there doesn't seem to be a good way to do this... at least in XML. Several places refer to the system resource @android:drawable/empty but as far as I can tell (i.e., it's not in the reference docs, and aapt chokes saying that it can't find the resource) this doesn't exist. Is there a general way of referencing an empty Drawable, or do you end up creating a fake empty PNG for each project?
