Android :: Create Custom Component Using Inflate
Mar 29, 2010I'm trying to create a component using an xml layout file. I defined a layout with some custom attributes. This layout is inflated when user add it inside another layout. My problem is I don't know the parent, so I pass null for the parent viewgroup when I call inflate method. I think that's the reason why I see anything in my view. Do you know how can I do (I don't want to redefine onDraw method because I use existing component). Below my xml layout and my custom class.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/img_btn_option" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/txt_btn_option" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/img_btn_option"
android:textColor="@color/font_white" android:textStyle="bold"/>
</RelativeLayout> public class ButtonOptionsView extends View {
public ButtonOptionsView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
LayoutInflater li =(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
RelativeLayout vg =(RelativeLayout)li.inflate(R.layout.button_option, null);
TypedArray ta = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,R.styleable.ButtonOption);
((ImageView)vg.findViewById(R.id.img_btn_option)).setImageResource(ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.ButtonOption_image,0));
((TextView)vg.findViewById(R.id.txt_btn_option)).setText(ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.ButtonOption_text,0));}

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Inflate View From XML Parser Or Other External Source
Jul 27, 2010I want to dynamically pull in a layout from an external source. As discussed in this thread from September 2009 -
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.
I am wondering if the situation has changed since this discussion or if it is likely to change. I understand the need to use pre-compiled xml layouts so if there is an option to dynamically pull in a layout that is already compiled that would be fine. Basically I want a setup where I can change a view layout without an app update. The elements within the view would be fairly static (e.g. there will be 2 buttons call foo and bar that fire fooOnClick and barOnClick). The only work around I can think of is a custom scripting language that allows the definition of views that are created from code. Ideally this would parse the same xml as a standard layout. Obviously this would involve a lot of code and probably be fairly slow.
Button btnFoo = new Button(); btnFoo.setText("foo"); dynamicLayout.addView(btnFoo);
If this is the only option at least the EdsMagicLayoutInflater class would be reusable across projects.

Android :: Relative Layout In Java Code With Inflate And Custom View - Position Error
Jun 16, 2009I have a custom view that I had to write for a large scrollable image, as the images are larger than the size of the screen. Before, I had tried to do it by putting the image into a ScrollView but that of course didn't work. The view itself is within a RelativeLayout within the activity and at the bottom of the screen I have two buttons that are used for navigation and at the top a TextView with a caption for the activity (the main header is already being used here for instruction). In my below code, I've checked the Hierachy Viewer to confirm all the elements are loaded and in the Activity I can see the TextView, however it overlays the ZN5ScrollView area and below the image I just have a blank area of the size defined rather than my buttons. For the bottom navigation, the Hierachy Viewer is saying the absolute_y of the bottom navigation is 480. I'm wondering if anyone can help with my layout code here to get this working correctly? Bottom navigation is 50px high, ZN5ScrollView is 365px above the navigation, and the TextView takes up the rest of the area at the top

Android :: How Create View Like The Default Android EditContact View
Jul 29, 2010Specifically, I'm curious about how they did the phone number entry part, where they can add additional phone numbers fields when the user clicks the little add button. I initially thought that was done with a ListView, and I got a ListView to work, but the ListView scrolls independently of the rest of the screen, which looks bad.
So I was wondering what the best approach for something like that is? Am I on the right track with the ListView and just missing something allowing me keep it from behaving like it's own scrollable container? Perhaps a custom AdapterView or maybe just with a TableLayout dynamically adding rows? I'm just not sure what would work the best.

Android :: How To Create View From External XML Source?
Sep 14, 2009I'm just wondering if I'm able to create a View from an external XML source. As I was reading, you must place the XML layout inside the res/layout and when you compile it, you can load the layout by typing setContentView(R.layouts.my_layout). What if I have this XML layout online (on a website) and I want to create the layout on runtime? Is there any way to do this? Or I have to parse the XML and create the layout (hard-coded)?

Apr 25, 2010I'm stuck on a problem and if possible I will need help from the community. I'm not looking for a ready-made solution, but something which would help me to produce the result.
I'm looking for a way to produce a dynamic activity based on a JSONArray object.
Here an example of a JSONArray object:
[ { "name": "my checkbox name",
"type": "checkbox",
"value": "one,two,three"

This JSONArray could be totally random. It could have 2 text views, 3 select menus, 1 text view and so on.
The goal is to iterate over this JSONArray and create the appropriate elements within my android code.
To produce the result I've thought of a simple switch which would render one by one my different JSONArray to an android widget.
But after that how could I have access of every property of every widget rendered?
Edit: I need as well to assign an event listener on some widget as taking the GPS coordinated...
Android :: Create A View That Is Bigger Than The Screen?
Sep 28, 2010Is it possible to create a view that is bigger than the screen? I need a view that has a bigger width then the screen of the device. I use this view in a rotation animation. During the rotation the parts that were not on the screen before animating the view will become visible.
Is there a way to achieve this effect with the android framework?
I tried to set my parent layout much bigger then the screen and it is working. This will make somethings a little bit uncomfortable but it could work. The next problem now is that my layout still starts at the left side of the screen. I can't think of a method to make the layout to expand itself to the left and the right of the screen.

Sep 29, 2010I have a view that is round and hovering above (-> in z-axis direction coming out of the screen) the main content. When the someone taps the screen I want either the main content to be selected or the view hovering above, when it covers the main view.
So far that works perfectly. I have a round shaped item on a transparent canvas. Meaning you can see everything of the background that is outside of that circle. However, you cannot select it, because it is still the hovering canvas, just with a transparent paint.
Now I'm wondering, to solve this issue, if it is possible to make the view/canvas itself round shaped?

Android :: Way To Inflate Layouts With Different Density?
Oct 21, 2010I'm wondering if it is possible to inflate a layout using a different density value than the default system density. I have a high density layout, which looks good on the Galaxy Tab (1024x600px, hdpi) and I like to use the same layout on another tablet with the same pixel resolution but medium density. The mdpi layout which is used works on the device but the screen just looks really empty and I would prefer to scale things up. So is there a xml argument for scaling the layout, maybe something similar to Bitmap.Options.targetDensity. Or could this be done with a new LayoutInflater class?

So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time.

Android :: Cannot Create New Map View To Draw To Off Screen Bitmap
Oct 29, 2010I'm trying to create a MapView in a service (live wallpaper), but have it hidden so that I can render it to a Bitmap, and then map it to a texture to render in opengl. I have a Canvas and a Bitmap, and I intended to call myMap.draw(myCanvas) in order to get it into the correct bitmap so that I could then bind it as a texture.
When I Initialize I do the following:
myMap = new MapView(ctx, APPSTATICS.MAP_API_KEY);
I get an error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: stub at com.google.android.maps.MapView.<init> (Unknown Source)
Why I can't create a new mapview which I can use to draw to a offscreen bitmap?
