code:.........
On my device (Motorola Milestone) and in the emulator this looks like the standard gray spinner widget.
On of my colleagues uses a Motorola Backflip and on his device the Spinner is black. Now its very hard to read the font in the spinner.
What do I have to do to use my own view for the spinner? I don't mind to have the gray spinner on all devices, but it should always look the same on all devices.
I am developing a simple GUI with three buttons. i want to fill the button with color but i found back ground color. if i set mybutton.setBackgroundcolor (color); it's not visible

Is there a way to apply a color to an alpha animation in android? I know how to use the <alpha> element, but i'd like to have the alpha apply a color as well as an alpha so i can hightlight a layout. is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using something like: TextView.SetBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); in my java code. I'd like to be able to add some transparancy to the textview through the java... This is easy to do in the XML via #AARRGGBB format, but I have not found a way to accomplish this programmatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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'm try to change text color and align item in spinner to center of it how can I do this
here is my code
String[] li={"1","2","3"};
final Spinner combo = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.widget30);
ArrayAdapter<String> a = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, li);
combo.setAdapter(a);
I have customised the spinner items background into black color.But border around spinner and the separartor between each spinner item is in white color. I want to change separator color and border to dark gray color.
How can i change these color? Is spinner uses list view or some other as parent to populate items in spinner?
If so can i change the separator background of parent view?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use Spinner as a button with selection pop-up. Basically I want an icon and when user clicks it - the popup list is displayed and user can make a selection. The Spinner happily accepts icon image as drawable background. Unfortunately when I select a value the text overlays the background. Is it possible to set selection text color as a transparent? Or maybe there's a better way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an xml layout file which contains a few widgets including a Spinner
I want to display a list of strings in the spinner, the list is generated at runtime as a result of a function so it can not be in arrays.xml.
I tried doing:
CODE:...........
But this crashes my application.
I have a spinner 'aperture' set up with a list of numbers, and a spinner 'mode' with two options. When a button is pushed I need a calculation to run using various inputs, including the current selection from 'aperture' and a value derived from 'mode'. How do I call the value of a spinner so I can use it in a calculation?
Also, how do I use the spinner 'mode's selection to set this other value before implimenting it in the calculation? To be more specific, if the spinner is set to Small then the value I use in the calculation is 0.015, whereas if Large is selected I need to use 0.028
My other inputs are EditText views, so right now I am set up like this:
CODE:............
That is not the actual equation, it is just a test to make sure everything connects properly. How would I call the value of spinner 'aperture' and the Small/Large spinner 'mode'
I have a spinner widget in my activity which lets users pick a list name.
Normally, the function of the spinner is to switch between lists but for a couple of instances, I swap out the selection change listener to perform a different function with the same list of options. Once the selection has been made, the old listener is restored and life goes on.
This is a bad and buggy arrangement. Instead, I would like to have a function that just takes a selection listener and some other parameters and shows a popup list that's populated by the same cursor (or and identical cursor) as the spinner, without using the spinner itself.
Is there any way I can do this?
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.
I am trying (as many are doing) to populate a 2nd spinner out of the first spinner selected item like this:..............

Is there any process to change the default text color white to "Black" and default selection color of android "orange" to "Blue" for whole project. i am using Eclipse for Android development.
View 3 Replies View Related1. I want to use my own color for selecting ui views.
By default, android shows the selected view with background as orange. I want to show the view background color as red.
2. In the same way, I want the same behaviour should be applied to whole application.
I have seen this example:
@*android:color/secondary_text_light
What's that * asterisk doing there? What is the difference when using or not?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI got a little textview defined in layout xml:
CODE:.........
As you can see the background color is "background_light" (this results in white color) and the text color is "primary_text_light" (this results in black color).
I would have thought that primary_text_light would result in a "light" color like white, not black ;-)
When i change "primary_text_light" into "primary_text_dark" the text color becomes color white.
Is this a bug in the naming of the default colors?
To give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a color picker for Android that looks like a minimalistic version of Gimp's. So, it has a hue slider and a rectangle with saturation/value variants of a color chosen in hue slider.
Question: what is the best way to create the rectangle?
Right now, I'm creating an 200x200 array of pixels, but it takes ~5sec to create and display rectangle with that array. And I need colors in rectangle to change whenever I change the value in hue slider...
Rectangle is bitmap, Can I use color matrices on that and how?
