I would like to have the user be able to change the color of the fur using a color picker. What can I save the graphic as (SVG?) to allow me to programatically control the color from with the android app? Do I have to have a separate image for each color of the cat?

Hello there I have a problem regarding the new HTC Magic I purchased : in my text display where I read the conversations between me and my contacts... it has all of the messages I sent in 1 group together, and all of the messages my contacts have sent together. How do I change this to display the order in which they were sent and received? For example right now it is
ME : blahblahblah
ME : blahblahblah
ME : blahblahblah
You : blahblahblah
You : blahblahblah
You : blahblahblah
I do not consider my G1 to be a phone. My old second hand Nokia 6100 was a better phone because it was so small and light weight. Why I bought the G1 is because I consider my G1 to be a Mini Laptop. But we need better program for it. I need a graphic program like the Paint Shop Pro 4 where I can resize and fix photos. I still have not figured out how to connect to WiFi and call the USA for free (I am in Vietnam) BUT G Voice should be doing something in a few weeks. I will wait for them. Tonight I downloaded the USB connection program so my G1 can make my computer in my hotel connect to internet but edge network here is expensive. I did find a way to stop the phone from Sniffing the EDGE network. I mess up the name in the APN code by adding xxx to the end. Then it will not connect to DATA.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI want to show a graphic inside my activity. A graphic thats from the www. Just like http://www.google.de/logos/olympics10-sskating-hp.png.
Wenn, in general I would download the graphic, convert it (maybe with photoshop or something), rename it (if neccassary) and copy it to my drawable folder. Then I can use its id inside my xml layout.
Now I want this procedure dynamically.
Which is the quickest way to do so?

I'm writing a game for a computer class that I'm currently taking for school. The game has a lot of graphics associated with it (mostly in .png format). There is too much data to simply include it as part of the 'res'. The way i'm currently doing it, is to store all of the graphics in a single zip file, in a folder on the SDCard, e.g., / sdcard/Game/PlayerImages.zip (or whatever). And then i'm using the ZipInputStream to read from those, then using the BitmapFactory to decode the stream and then draw them on the canvas. The problem that I'm having is that this method is terribly slow if I add a lot of images into the zip file. The best way I have found thus far is to name the .png files within the zip numerically, then use a for-loop to jump directly to a specific file, but this is still a very slow way of doing it. I would like to use a single file (like zip) to hold all of the files for several reasons. 1., i'm trying to use a file container so i can simply update graphic 4.png and then push it into the zip file (for example) from a server. 2., because android sees all image files on the sdcard when you open the gallery application. 3., easier to prevent data manipulation by doing an md5/sha-1 checksum on 1 zip file, rather than every time a file is opened if it weren't in a container.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app where pressing button on the screen launches an intent with a new screen and buttons. Everything is working very well, but I'm got one small visual problem. When I press the button on screen on my phone, the new page slides in from the right, pushing the old page off screen left. This happens very quickly, but the overall effect is a bit jarring. Is there a way to stop pages from display this way? If possible, I'd like the page to just appear over the old page, without any scrolling.
Is this possible in Android?
I am a new to developing for Android and have been reading up and researching in order to become more familiar with the platform. My programming knowledge is moderate I have experience with C++ and a fairly proficient with Actionscript 3.0. I picked up programming primary to work on game development but come from a more artistic/design background.
I have a relatively simple idea for an app that I want to approach from the most practical way possible seeing how it's my first attempt. Essentially the core functionality of the app will be drawing information I will be getting from an ephemeris chart. At a certain time in the day which is based on the data from the chart I want to change an image/display information based on that day. I am trying to wrap my head around the best possible way to do this. Also I would like to give the user an option of having a notification of some kind when the change occurs, but that is something I have come across in terms of basic implementation.
So my question is if you were to approach setting something like this up how would you? What I am not sure about is setting up a time element so the application knows when to change the image/data to display.
I have an ANDROID tablet with screen resolution of 600*976 which is quite rare and is not supported by many ANDROID apps....here comes the question : is it possible to change the screen resolution of display? eg 800*480?

I tracked the behaviour of the different screen sizes when I increased the position of a graphic by 10 pixel. Unfortunately happened what I already thought. When the display is bigger, I'm able move a graphic a lot of times more to get to the bottom of the screen. So the ratio between the graphic and its environment is not correct anymore (so not 10 pixel as on normal screen) although the change of the graphic on the different screens looks correct (On big screen it is bigger, on small screens it is smaller). When I move the graphic from the top of the screen to the bottom, I can move that on 480x800 about 65 times, on 480x854 70 times, and on the 320x480 screen only about 25 times. So the target must be to calculate the right ratio so that 10 pixels on the small screen are 17 pixel (or sth. similar) on big screens. What approaches do I have to do that? I already thought about getting the value of res.getConfiguration().screenLayout to know if I have a small, normal, or big size to be able to calculate anyhow the right ratio, but this both seems to be pretty cumbersome and moreover I get values from res.getConfiguration().screenLayout I can't explain. I launched 6 emulator instances and got the following values from res.getConfiguration().screenLayout:
240x320 QVGA low density: 17 320x480 HVGA medium density: 18 480x854 WVGA high density: 34 480x800 WVGA high density: 34 240x400 WQVGA low density: 34 240x432 WQVGA low density: 266435490 (yes, I really get this value!)
This approach seems to be useless because I cannot even distinguish between 480x854 and 480x800, much less of the last value which seems to be corrupt.
How can I solve it to move a graphic on the different screens with the right ratio? How do game developers solve this when they support all screens?

I know the specs for the EVO show it does 1xRTT, but I am not seeing a graphic icon showing when the phone is in this mode. I travel quite a bit and with my Hero I know areas where I would be switched over to 1XRTT, but now the EVO still only ever shows 3G. Can anyone verify if there is a dedicated icon for 1XRTT or has HTC rolled everything under the 3G icon?
