I was wondering how can I place a small button inside my EditText view (AutoCompleteTextView to be more specific), just like the iPhone has on its search box. http://img69.yfrog.com/img69/8931/keyboardv.png

I've been a couple of days trying to solve this thing but I can'f figure it out.The problem is, simple activity, with simple layout, ScrollView -> LinearLayout -> and a lot of buttons inside the layout (within the scroll content). Everything works just fine but one tricky thing. When I click a button let's say at the top of the scroll content and inmediatelly I scroll down to the bottom of the content and I click other button there, nothing happens until I click a second time and all come to normal again.This can be reproduced anytime and it's code independent (i've tried more than 20 scenarios). I've not much experience in android yet but looks like the scroll listener stops the onclick listener or something like that.

I have a Spinner with an ArrayAdapter that feeds Values into it. The layout for this views looks something like this:
CODE:.................
The Problem is that the text is to long for the view and the result is a very very ugly spinner. As can be seen in the screenshot:
I tried to pass the Id of my own TextView into the Adapter but everytime the spinner should be shown I get an Exception that the Id I supplied is not valid:

Where do I have to define the TextView? In a separate xml file? With a surrounding viewgroup?
It would help me a lot if I could see an example of the adapter initialization and the textview definition?
I was wondering if its possible to set multiple styles for different pieces of text inside a TextView. For instance, I am setting the text as follows:
CODE:...........................
Now, is it possible to have a different style for each text element? I mean bold for line1, normal for word1 and so on...
I found this http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#selectingtext:
Get our EditText object. EditText vw = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
Set the EditText's text. vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.");
If this were just a TextView, we could do: vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); to force it to use Spannable storage so styles can be attached. Or we could specify that in the XML.
Get the EditText's internal text storage. Spannable str = vw.getText();
Create our span sections, and assign a format to each.
CODE:............................
But it uses position numbers inside the text. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a ListView where each item in the list is contains several controls. One of the items is a checkbox, and I can check/uncheck it without problems. The other items are some TextViews and a WebView. I've got autoLink turned on and linksClickable turned on, but I can't get links to fire up the browser when I click on them. This applies to both TextView and WebView. I've tried changing the parent to a GridView instead of a ListView, playing with setFocusable(), and all that, but to no avail.
Is it even possible to have interaction on the TextView-based elements of a row in a ListView? It seems like that *should* be possible, but I've been banging my head against this problem for a few weeks with no progress. What's the secret?

I'm trying to create a game lobby for a project, and I'd like the game's status text to be a different color: red for an "[IN PROGRESS]" game and green for a game that's "[Waiting for x players]". The ListView will be populated with data, and each ListView item will have a game ID and then immediately to the right of that the game's status.
Right now I'm essentially using the Hello ListView code to create my ListView.
(In constructor)
CODE:...........
Then, I have a refresh button that obtains data from our database. It will get two Strings, one for the ID of the game, and the other for the status of the game. If the game status is 0, then it's still waiting for players. If the game status is 1, then the game has started. So, I create a gameItem to add to the gameList:
CODE:.............
This is where I'm stuck. I don't really understand how I can alter the specific TextView when I create the gameItem or when I add that to the gameList. There isn't a way I can see of accessing the TextView's properties. I see how the text of the view is set (through the mapping of the strings to "line1" and "line2", but I don't know how to change any of the properties.
Can I modify android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1? For eg., I want to change the text color of the textview inside the listview dynamically. For this, I need to get to the textview and change its color.. How can I do that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a simple Java function to truncate a string to be displayed in my list view. I am displaying a news title and below this a news summary. I would like to have the same behavior as the image below. Currently, i am truncating the news title with 45 chars and then appending "..." at the end of it. However, when I change the orientation to landscape, the title could appear without being truncated. I don't think the app below truncates the news title, but it keeps the title in a single line and automatically "truncates". How can I achieve this behavior in my app?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.
Here is the code:..............
Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):
So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):
As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.

I got a ListView item that contains a button inside. Currently the long press of a ListView item does not get processed. I thought that by setting the Button.setLongClickable(false) would allow the long press to be passed along to the ListView item and it's not happening.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView with some elements on it. Each row has a TextView and a Button. It looks like this: | Some text in a row (Button) | Now, when I click on this text nothing happens. Simply no one function is called. But when I click on the button I can handle the event. I use onListItemClick() So what should I use instead of this TextView to be able to handle an event (when I click on the text)? Before this I had only one TextView in each row and when I was clicking on a row everything worked fine (onListItemClick() was called).

But this doesn't work. The Button doesn't wrap its contents, instead it uses all available horizontal space. The TextView does wrap its contents, but what I want it to do is to cut off when it overlaps the Button.
In other words, I want all the buttons to be of the same width, regardless of the amount of text in the textviews. Is this at all possible?
In a RelativeLayout I have a Button to the right of a TextView. The problem is that the text view gets squished to the left of the screen.I want the Button to be squished to the right and the TextView take up all the remaining space.I can't use 'Fill Layout' on the TextView because the button then gets removed from the View completely.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a spinner with an arrayadapter that is dynamically managed. when it gets displayed, the spinner text also displays the radio button. how do i get rid of this radio button?
NOTE: i'm not talking about the radio buttons that appear in the list that is displayed when i select the drop down on the spinner.
here is a pic of what it looks like: SIGH cannot upload image as i don't have 10 pts. so i've found a link: http://www.slashresources.com/android-gui-examples/ scroll down about 1/2 way and find the spinner example on that page. and my spinner looks like the spinner thats grayed out by the list. notice how the drop down arrow is all strecthed and yucky... thats my problem.
Here are the appropriate code snippet... couple of points:
This code is in the constructor of widget which is a subclass of Spinner value is an array of Object instances (passed when the widget gets created) there are no XML resources; all widgets are dynamically created thinking i need to "manipulate" the prompt, i added setPrompt(...) in the constructor and also in the onitemclicked event listener... this had no effect.
Q: what am i missing? seems to me i'm missing some attribute of the Spinner which is causing the radio button to also display in the text part of the spinner.

I am trying to populate a TextView based on the current selected options in 3 Spinner(s) but cant seem to figure out how to retrieve the selected values from the Spinners to invoke the update function with.

how to set a TextView's default text to whatever I edit in the EditText..In Lamence terms..
Default Text <---Label
[Default Text] <---Text Box
[Change] <---Button
If I change the information in the Text Box, it will change the Label on the Change Button click..Now, it will change the text to 'false'..Here's my Main.java:
Code:
package com.testapp.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
[code]...
I am tryout a very simple thing in an activity. It has three components laid out vertically in a linear layout - button, textview1, and textview2. All I want to do is to toggle visibility of textview1 when the button is clicked. So I have the following onclick handler for the button:
[HIGH]public void onClickMe(View view){
TextView thetext =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.thetext);
if(displayText){
thetext.setVisibility(TextView.INVISIBLE);
} else {
thetext.setVisibility(TextView.VISIBLE);
[code]...
The textview does get visible and invisible but the problem is when the textview is made invisible it leaves a big gap between the button and the textview2. I would like the textview2 to be moved the the position where textview1 was. I think it is something to do with relayout but not sure what needs to be done here. I tried multiple things as shown in the code above.
So I've been extremely frustrated by this for a long time now.I've posted before, but can't seem to find a good solution. My goal is to have something pretty much exactly like the installed application details page in the Android Market.I need a list of items displayed along with other content above the list, and would like the content above to scroll up along with the list (exactly like the application details does for the "My Review" and other descriptive info).Due to responses to my previous posts, I came to believe that it really wasn't possible to do this with a ListView.So rather than using a ListView, I refactored my code to use a simple LinearLayout and add individual View items to the list, thinking I could just set each View as clickable and add an OnClickListener to each View in the LinearLayout.That's not working at all though, and now I'm getting even more frustrated.If someone can help me get the OnClickListener working, then I think it'll work, but I do need a separator for the LinearLayout.How do I add a separator like the one used for ListView to my LinearLayout?
