You see I'm drawing it on top of a Camera view and the information being drawn is subject to change. I have a listener setup which will update the variables being drawn at the appropriate time but I now want to "refresh" this draw in that listener.

How can i call the onUpgrade Method of the database? Background of my question: I do a backup on the sdcard of the full database. And the user can restore this database. But if in the meantime (between backup and restore) an app update has made changes to the database i get a problem on restoring. The new columns are not there after restoring. So i want to call the onUpgrade method to add all new/changed columns. Or is there a better way for this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe following code leads to "java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: Thread already started." the second time it is run through on the program This happens the second time updateUI.start() is called. I've stepped through it multiple times and the thread is called and completely runs to completion before hitting updateUI.start(). Calling updateUI.run() avoids the error but causes the thread to run in the UI thread (the calling thread, as mentioned in other posts on SO), which is not what I want. Can a Thread be started only once? If so than what do I do if I want to run the thread again? This particular thread is doing some calculation in the background, if I don't do it in the thread than it's done in the UI thread and the user has an unreasonably long wait.

I want to call a bitmap from a method in my main class and am unsure how to do it - I have a method: Code...
So basically, how can I place the bitmap in my detectFaces method in my main class and pass it as a bitmap on my imageview in my false class?
So how can I create a custom method.I have several image buttons that I need to change the characteristics of such as an image when it is pushed and when it is not pushed. So when I push one button it changes to a pushed image for that button and ALL other buttons revert to an unpushed image. Currently I have to have this code in every button click method I would LOVE to create one method that I can call from each button click method that way if I have to change anything it is in one place.
I would love to when a button is tapped
call the custom method to revert all buttons to unpushed
then change the button being tapped to pushed
A very common process but I can't figure out how to write the custom method and then call it,,calling it should be simple something like custommethod.

I've been trying to call a non-static method, located in my main application Class, from the Preferences Class. Because the method I call is not static, I instantiate the main class and then try to call the specific method I want but it's force closing.
Preferences.class (from where I call the method):
Preference sorted = (Preference) findPreference("sortPref");
sorted.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
Object d = new Dmarks();
((Dmarks) d).queryBookmarks();
return true;
}});
the Dmarks.class method I call:
public void queryBookmarks() {
Toast.makeText(context, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//context is not null and the Toast is working if I call it from Dmarks.class }

In my program I have a custom view object. Inside the view class is a method called foo. For some reason when I call foo from my activity, it doesn't fire. Here is the code:
XML of the custom view:
<com.company.application.MyView android:id="@+id/my_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The activity code:
public class Main extends Activity { MyView mView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = li.inflate(R.layout.main, null); mView= (MyView) v.findViewById(R.id.my_view);
//A button to fire the method inside foo() Button switchLeft = (Button) findViewById(R.id.switch_left); switchLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { callTest(); } } );
} public void callTest() { Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "clicked left arrow");
mView.foo(); mView.postInvalidate();
} }
Finally here is foo:
public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas); Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set");
}
The first log is always written when the button is pressed, but the second log is not because foo never fires. What is the deal here? Upon request, the full view
public class MyView extends View { Drawable mBackground; Context mContext;
public MyView (Context context) { super(context); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public MyView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas);
Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set"); }
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); // draw a solid blue circle
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); canvas.drawCircle(20, 20, 15, paint);
// draw a test background mBackground.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 400);
mBackground.draw(canvas); }
}
I want to know when a close method of a sqlite database should be called in a life cycle, since the NotePad sample in the sdk (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html) doesn't call NotesDbAdapter.close(), it implements that method though.
My application accesses the db not so frequently, but some, it depends on user requests. I think I should open the db at the onCreate, and close it at the onDestroy. Is that a good practice?
I would like to know if is there a way to call android:layout_gravity property from a java method. I didn't found any method in Android documentation to do it.

To avoid merging xml layout with Java code, I would prefer make all layout using Java. Code...
