Android :: Android - Updating TextView String Through AIDL Service
Aug 12, 2010
I have an app that uses a TabHost. Several of the Tabs share a common HUD. I am using a service to periodically update those values by calling an AIDL function when ready.
However, since several of the Tabs are using the same HUD I would like to abstract that part out.
I thought about having the HUD.xml use a String resource as it's value and then the abstracted class can update the String resource. However, apparently Android can not update String resources programatically.
The only alternative solution I see would be using SharedPreference.
I have concerns accessing a Database everytime the value is refreshed.

I want to do something like that. For example, I have a textview with String
Alibaba love Mary so muck. In that String alibaba and Mary have a event to open something but I can't know how to use event for Mary and Alibaba seperately

Under what circumstances would using AIDL to define a service interface be the correct decision (rather than just creating an extension to the service class)?

I've created a service that is meant to communicated to an activity using aidl's and callback functions. I got it working just fine with my test activity in the same package. But I was wanting to expose this service to different activities running in a completely different .apk file. Is it possible to accomplish this? What does the separate package need to bind to my service and register the callbacks? Or am I going about this completely wrong and should I try a different method for conveying information back and forth between two packages.

I have created a service which exposes few AIDL defined interfaces. I want to access this Service from an application with different package. I have no clue how to achieve this. I want to see an example on this.
Unfortunately all examples I see has client application in the Service package it self:(
Could you please share some sample/example code on this?

I didn't find a sufficient answer to my problem in any posts, if there already is one, please excuse and point me to it, thanks. I made 2 projects. project 1 hast an activity that binds to a service from project 2 on a button click (all just for testing).
How can I make project 1 know (import) my TestInterface (from TestInterface.aidl out of project 2) for usage in: "TestInterface mService = (TestInterface) TestInterface.Stub.asInterface(service);"
without adding project 2 to the build path, because if I'd have an installed service without the project code, I couldn't do it this way, too...?? I read in one thread that TestInterface.aidl should just be added to project 1, too, but if I do this, in DDMS enforceInterface() complains and seems to just see/use the interface from project 1 and it doesn't work.

I have a service that will send out notifications with timed tasks. I need this service to run outside the life of the application, but I only need to access the services functions during the lifespan of the app. Is a local service enough or do I need to implement AIDL?

I have a service that regularly queries a web server for new messages. The service stores the new messages in an arrayList. These messages are implemented using a custom class, storing all kinds of metadata (strings and longs).
An activity then connects to this service to retrieve those messages and display them to the user.
I have an .aidl file that describes the interface that the service exposes.
CODE:..........
The Message class extends the Parcelable class which should allow for the IPC transfer.
The problem is this: Eclipse gives me an error saying that the type of List<Message> is unknown. Any imports are marked as invalid.

In the implementation of my remote service's published API, is there a way to identify which client called a given method? For example, is there a way to obtain a unique ID or address of the caller? I already cache an AIDL callback reference to the client, but not sure how I can use this for identification.

Maybe it is a simple problem for some of you. But how do you automatically cut off long strings and add "..." to the right end in TextViews, like Activity title does? Sorry for posting twice coz I didn't see my previous post in the list

I used the layout resource editor to modify the main.xml layout file to add a second
TextView control to my app. by default, its set to something like @+id/TextView01. How do I Set the text attribute of the TextView control to my newly created String resource? I tried going into main.xml and just editing the android:text to point to the name of my new string, but it didn't seem to work.

I think the answer to this question is probably so simple, but I'm struggling....
I have a TableLayout with multiple columns. I want the last column to be of a fixed width, but I want to define that width to just be able to hold the widest possible string from my program. i.e. it is always wide enough to contain "THIS STRING" without wrapping, or wasting any space.
I would like to do this as I have these TableLayouts within a ListView, so it looks very poor when the last column is of variable widths.
I have tried obtaining the string width, even going so far as to put it into a TextView, call getTextSize() then setWidth() on all appropriate TextViews. The problem I hit there is that gettextSize() returns pixels, but setWidth uses ScaledPixels.
I'm sure there is a really simple solution. Can anyone help?

I can't seem to get things to display programatically using text views? I have a main.xml:
CODE:........
Then in my code, I use:
CODE:.......
But the username does not display on the screen. I get just the default text in the XML.

If a String is longer than the TextView's width it automatically wraps onto the next line. I can avoid this by using android:singleLine (deprecated) or by setting android:inputType="text". What I now need is something that replaces the last 3 characters of my String with "...". Since I'm not using a monospace font this will always be different depending on the letters used in my String. So I'm wondering what's the best way to get the last 3 characters of a String in a TextView and replace them. Maybe there's already something implemented in the Android framework, since this must me a common problem.

On Android 1.5, using the Allocation Tracker I see that every time I call TextView.setText() with a StringBuilder as first argument, a String gets allocated from the following call stack (first line is last call):
java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder toString java.lang.StringBuilder toString android.text.TextUtils stringOrSpannedString android.widget.TextView setText
I tried specifying the buffer type with setText(strBuilder, TextView.BufferType.NORMAL) but it doesn't change anything.
Is there a way to avoid this allocation?

I have an object on my main.xml layout file called thefact that is TextView. I also have a string called sharefact. I want to save what text is in the TextView into the sharefact string. I can't do:
sharefact = thefact
Or anything similar to that because it would want me to convert sharefact into a textview.

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help. What I'm trying to do is a relatively simple task, but one that doesn't seem to be working. What I'm trying to do is display the Orientation X,Y,Z coordinates on the screen in basic TextView boxes. The sensors are constantly updating my Global.myOrientation float array, and then I'm running a Timed thread (I'm very new to threading, so forgive me if it's ugly, but it gets the job done almost). In this thread I just set the value of each TextView's text to the desired value. The problem is that it only seems to work the first time.
It correctly displays whatever my initial data is, but then subsequent runs of the thread do nothign to update the onscreen values when I change the orientation of the phone. LogCat output shows me that inside the run() method, the values of Global.getOrientationX,Y,Z are being updated correctly, and that the right data is being passed to TextView. How can I get around this limitation of TextView being initialized once and then immutable?
Any assistance in fixing this, or providing an alternate solution would be greatly appreciated. Code posted below:

I am trying to make an android widget like the Google Voice Widget where users can go through an array of Strings which is retreived from the SQLite database. The problem is using global variables in the widget provider. I need to hold the index of the value they are currently on in order to pass it to the intents which are created when the left or right buttons are created. The variable is always returned as zero though.

I have a strange issue. I am using KSOAP2 to create a soap request to a .net webservice. I do this in a few other places and everything works fine. The webservice basically queries a data base and takes the values from the data reader and creates a string. This string is then returned. When I run the webservice on my local machine(Without using android) it works fine. When I run it from the webserver (still not android) it works fine. When I call it from my phone however the line: String hazards = (String)envelope.getResponse().toString () ; //Get response from .net Web service Simply is filled with anyType{}. Now if I go to the webservice and I manually type in the contents from the database to represent what the string concatenation should be it works perfectly. The line: String hazards = (String)envelope.getResponse().toString(); //Get response from .net Web service Now returns the string value i need. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or know a better place to ask this question?

Here is my issue, I want to be able to update a specific AppWidgetProvider (home screen widget) from a custom service class. I have to build the remote view in the service because I'm also doing some networking in there, which takes some time. The problem is that I can't figure out how to update a specific widget (individual widgets can have different update intervals, using the alarm manager). If I wanted to do it from the onUpdate of the AppWidgetProvider I could just call appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, remoteView); Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions?

I have a Service defined in the manifest with an intent filter that refuses to match when specified as a String resource but works when the literal action is entered in the manifest. Is there any reason I should not be able to use a String resource with an action in an intent filter?
