Can anyone tell me if its possible to create some kind of custom adapater for XML data to a Spinner? I'm wanting to create a set of XML data that contains city names & latitude/longitude positions but only display the city name in the Spinner and access the lat/long when a new city is selected.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI think I've tried everything(made focusable:false!!) and I cant capture in anyway the selected checkbox on my list item. Even OnItemClickListener, doesn't respond to any click. How can I retrieve checked checkboxes in my list item? My list item included: image view, 4 textviews and the checkbox. Some code:
this is in my ListActivity class:
final String columns[] = new String[] { MyUsers.User._ID, MyUsers.User.MSG, MyUsers.User.LOCATION }; int[] to = new int[] { R.id.toptext, R.id.bottomtext,R.id.ChkBox, R.id.Location}; Uri myUri = Uri.parse("content://com.idan.datastorageprovider/users"); Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(myUri, columns, null, null, null); startManagingCursor(cursor); ListCursorAdapter myCursorAdapter=new ListCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.listitem, cursor, columns, to); this.setListAdapter(myCursorAdapter);
And this is my Custom Cursor adapter class:
public class ListCursorAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter { private Context context; private int layout; public ListCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from, int[] to) { super(context, layout, c, from, to); this.context = context; this.layout = layout;
} @Override public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) { Cursor c = getCursor(); final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context); View v = inflater.inflate(layout, parent, false); return v;
} @Override public void bindView(View v, Context context, Cursor c) { TextView topText = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toptext); if (topText != null) { topText.setText("");
} int nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(MyUsers.User.MSG); String name = c.getString(nameCol); TextView buttomTxt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.bottomtext); if (buttomTxt != null) { buttomTxt.setText("Message: "+name); } nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(MyUsers.User.LOCATION);
name = c.getString(nameCol); TextView location = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.Location);
if (locationLinkTxt != null) { locationLinkTxt.setText(name);
}
I've tried many ways. many listeners, can't figure how to capture listener to my checkboxes. The data I am binding to the list items from the database, isn't concerned about the checkbox.. only the textviews. There isn't any connection between the database and the checkbox I have in the list's item.

I currently building an android apps that retrieve data from a distant Web service and I search an efficient way to bind data form XML to ListView. I already use CursorAdapter and i search on the web for an "XmlAdapter". I read on Google IO topic "Coding for Life - Battery Life, That Is" (http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/ CodingLifeBatteryLife.html) that is more efficient to use "stream parser" instead of "tree parser" but I don't find the way to build a class that implement ListAdapter because of stream parser can't navigate backward so I don't understand how implement method that use "position" parameter (How retrieve data before current XML Parser position?).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to bind data from my SQLiteDatabase to a ListView. I'm currently using a SimpleCursorAdapter to fill in my ListView. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with setting a CheckBox's checked attribute. This is how I do it now; instead of changing the CheckBox's checked status the adapter is filling in the value to the text argument, so the value is displayed right of the CheckBox as text.
Java:
setListAdapter( new SimpleCursorAdapter( this, R.layout.mylist, data,
new String[] { Datenbank.DB_STATE, Datenbank.DB_NAME }, new int[] { R.id.list_checkbox, R.id.list_text } ) );
mylist.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<CheckBox android:text="" android:id="@+id/list_checkbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="false" > </CheckBox>
<TextView android:text="" android:id="@+id/list_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </TextView> </LinearLayout>
The field in the database is of course of type boolean and I've also tried to assign an id to the checked field to fill the value in.
I need to be able to scroll through a list with (up to) 20K rows, backed by a cursor on a read-only db. Testing 20K rows on a G1, the query takes approx .02s regardless of table size, while binding the adapter to the list takes 4.5s. Note that this is before the view calls used in rendering. What makes the binding delay more troublesome is that it blocks the UI thread, and is incurred on every rotate. Combine these, and doing a rotate just after starting the bind results in a delay up to 9s.
I tried lazy loading with a base adapter, but that hits the same delay in the underlying cursor.getCount(), and the overall user experience isn't ideal. I also considered using an ArrayAdapter, adding synthesized objects from the cursor rows, but then I'd incur the overhead of creating up to 20K objects (not to mention the additional memory requirements).
The default drop down view of the spinner occupies the entire width of the screen. I tried to create a custom spinner which occupies only some portion of the width of the screen, but I'm unable to do. I want to see the objects behind the drop down. Here is what i tried, I changed the drop down view as,
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); instead of
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
In the layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item.xml file I specified the width, but it still occupies the entire width. Can any one help. Is there any other view which is similar to spinner but I should be able to see the background objects like a alert dialog. Is it really possible?
I'm getting a NullPointerException while attempting to create a Spinner within a dialog and can't seem to debug it because the code looks solid. Wonder if anyone else has any idea. Any help is greatly appreciated.
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { Dialog dialog;
switch(id) { case DIALOG_SEND_PM: Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.pm_server);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.server_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
dialog = new Dialog(PM.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.send_pm_dialog);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.send_pm);
pmMessage = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_box);
Button sendPm = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_button);
sendPm.setOnClickListener(PM.this);
break;
default: dialog = null;
}
I get the exception at adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
I changed the context to MyClass.this and the exception moved down to the next line, which confuses me. I'm wondering if it is the adapter having a null value but I call everything the same way I have before while not in a dialog.
Relevant XML data:
<LinearLayout> <TextView/> <LinearLayout> <TextView/>
<EditText/> <TextView/> <Spinner
android:id="@+id/pm_server"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/yblueborder"
android:textColor="#ABABAB"/>
</LinearLayout> <Button/> </LinearLayout>
Is there anyway to set a custom font or color for the selected item in a Spinner? For example, I open the spinner and click a priority of "High". I'm my layout containing the spinner, I would like to see the word "High" in red or a custom font.
I can't seem to obtain the textview to make the necessary change. I always obtain a NullPointerException if I typecast the spinner.getSelectedView() to textview and attempt to set the color.
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.

I'm trying to make a simple order system. So the user selects a burger type from a spinner, then the user can enter in the quantity and then there is some math taking place in the background which sets a text view at the bottom with the total price. I'm not sure what method I'm meant to use so that it is updated dynamically when the user changes the text view quantity.
If i just say that all burgers are 2.50, i need some sort of method saying, if/when data is entered into the edit text , take that data and then times it by 2.50 and set it in the total text view below. I'm just unsure on the method part of it so it's dynamic and will change when the edit text quantity is altered.

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn a typical Android project you have the res/drawable directories where you can put images but i have some special custom binary files.
where do I usually put them and can i access them via the R-class then?
I am very new beginner, and I am designing a small application as below.
- After a user starts the application, he/she can click the start button to start a background task. (e.g. retrieving the news headlines periodically, then do something...)
- Even after the user quits the application, the background task still running.
- To stop the background task, the user needs to run the application again, and clicks the stop button to stop the background task.
In the above scenario, what API should I use ? (Local Service Binding ? Remote Service Binding ? Handler ?)
I am working on an android application, where the activity binds to a local service to perform certain tasks.Now I am binding the service in the OnCreate method of the Activity, after which the activity has to use the service object to invoke the functionality defined in the servicein the OnStart method. The problem here is that once a call "bindservice" has been made, we might not get the serviceobject immediately, so my service object would be null till that time. So i cannot invoke the service functions.So is there a way to determine in the activity that the service has been bound and the service object is valid and could be used now. For reference i'm attaching a code snippet for the same.
