View 2 RepliesI have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.
In my Android application, I want a setting to be toggleable in it's menu like the Dialer app does for speaker and mute.
You can see a picture below:
You see how the Speaker, Mute and Hold options are toggle buttons - you can tap them again and they will toggle the green color. They may do this in a custom way, but I suspect it is a option (I tried setting the Checkable attribute).
in menu.add, you add an integer menuitem id.But when you specify the menu in xml, @+id can't take an integer, so you can't test the id for the menu item as an integer in a switch statement.What obvious thing am I missing, because surely an inconsistency this bone-stupid couldn't have passed muster with all those wonderful geniuses at Google.
on top of that, when I give the menu item a name like "@+id/myMenuItem", item.getItemId() returns an integer, a long one, which I guess is a representation of the hex pointer.
I have an image set as my background and when it is vertical, the image looks fine. However, when the orentation is changed, the image get streched out. If there a way that I can change the image based on the orentation of the device?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just trying something and realized this doesn't seem possible due to the debugging code in the android OS. I register a context menu on an AdapterView, via registerContextMenu(adaptive), and then implement the onCreateContextMenu, like this: CharSequence title = context.getString(R.string.txt, userName); title = Html.fromHtml((String) title); MenuItem item = menu.add(ContextMenu.NONE, ContextMenu.NONE, ContextMenu.NONE, title); The context menu displays correctly, however when it is clicked I get an illegalArgumentException from the EventLog class when it tries to print out the condensedTitle. So I have found without setting the condensedTitle explicitly to something that is a String this occurs. Why is this marked as a CharSequence if it cannot handle it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Options Menu on my Activity with an MenuItem "Start". When this MenuItem is selected I would like to alter the Menu so it contains a MenuItem "Stop". And finally when "Stop" is selected, I would like to alter back to "Start". Here is parts of my code that isn't working. I have both "Start" and "Stop" listed in mymenu.xml I should probably remove "stop" when the menu is created:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private boolean isStarted = false;
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
menu.removeItem(R.id.stop);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu, menu);
return true;....................

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy app was built on the Android 1.5 platform. I'm in the process of bumping the APIs used to 2.1 . I am still leaving minSdkVersion=3 / targetSdkVersion = 7 in order to support older platforms.
I've made the required drawbles-hdpi / -mdpi - ldpi-v4 folders. Everything is looking great across various AVDs of HVGA/WVGA shapes and sizes.
Everything, except my tabs.
In AVDs running Android 1.5 and 1.6, my tab background colors are appropriate: http://www.shelvesforandroid.com/1p6below.png
However, for platforms running 2.1 and above, something seems to have gone awry:

Notice that the unselected tab color is correct, but the selected tab looks like it's just bleeding the same color as my images.
What can I do to fix this? Enforce the background color to be the same as 1.6-era ?
What is causing this tab color change?
Code...
Can anybody guide me how do I change the background image or color of selected tab?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the AlertDialog class in my application. By default, these alert dialogs have a transparent background. I'm trying to use an opaque background instead, very unsuccessfully.
These are my styles:
CODE:....................
I applied the "MyOpaqueActivity" style successfully for whole activities (the window background is changed to "my_background"), but it doesn't work for alert dialogs within those activities. The "alertDialogStyle" attribute and my "MyOpaqueAlertDialog" style don't seem to have any effect.
So how can I change the background of these alert dialogs?
In my android application i am using progress dialogue in my splashscreen.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi've developed an android app that's fetches an xml file and displays this data via several markers on the map. This works fine so far. The problem right now is that when i switch the orientation of the phone (portrait->landscape or vice versa) the markers disappear for a small moment, the xml processing is started again and then they reappear. Is there a way to prevent this re-loading of the file? It only takes about 2-3 seconds.
