Android :: Change Text View At Run Time
Sep 16, 2010
i“m working with a lineal layout and I“m trying to change the text of a TextView but it doesn“t refresh. When I debug I“ve checked that the text have changed correctly.public class Position extends Activity {
Button botonempezar;
Button botonsalir;
TextView text;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.position);
botonsalir = (Button) findViewById(R.id.salir);
botonempezar = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Empezar);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Textoposicion);
botonsalir.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
onDestroy();
finish();
} botonempezar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
searchPosition();
private void searchPosition(){
boolean condition = true;
do{
determinatePosition();
}while(condition == true);
private void determinatePosition(){
this.text.setText("New text");
//this.text.invalidate();
this.text.postInvalidate();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "New text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);// this doesnt work neither.
Here I post the code of the xml file. Its really silly but it could be the problem:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/Textoposicion"
android:text="PosiciĆ³n desconocida"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
android:inputType="text">
</TextView>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/Empezar" android:text="Empezar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="20dip">
</Button>
<Button
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/salir"
android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
android:text="Finalizar programa"
android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
</Button></LinearLayout>
I have edited the post because I omitted part of the code to make it simpler but I think I may suppressed the problem too. It runs in a endless loop, could be this the mistake?

I am using a custom title view in my application for each activity. In one of the activities, based on button clicks I need to change the custom title view. Now this works fine every time when I make a call to setFeatureInt.
But if I try to update any items in the custom title (say change the text of a button or a text view on the title), the update does not take place.
Debugging through the code shows that the text view and button instances are not null and I can also see the custom title bar. But the text on the text view or the button is not updated. Has anyone else faced this problem? How do I resolve it?

I been trying to figure out how to change the font type of a TextView via an XML. As far as I got was this: Typeface.create("Arial", Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC); And I'm not sure if it even works. I would rather do this on the XML layout.

I just got the magic yesterday and so far I'm loving it. Just have a couple questions about texting. When I receive a text it usually tells me the time in eastern time though I'm pacific. However, my sent messages come up with the right time. This makes it so that threaded sms is kind of useless. Everything is all out of whack. Also, every once in a while it just won't even give me a time and there has been once or twice(after fiddling with it for a bit) that it gave me the right time but it just went back to the wrong time right after. Could this be a problem with the phone or is it rogers' fault? I'm assuming it's getting the time from the network and they have it wrong(meaning I can't fix it) but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Also, is there any way to make it vibrate when I receive a text? I feel dumb for asking this as it seems like it should be something really obvious but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have a selection for some items using a spinner widget. At the moment the spinner will load a simple Textview and show the name of the item.It is possible to define an own view to show inside the spinner row? I would suspect it being similar to a custom List row.I simply want to show an individual icon left from the spinner text for each item in the list.

I've tried to add a TextView before a ListView in a LinearLayout. The result is that the ListView wont show at all. The same thing happens if I put the TextView after the ListView, but then I will only see the ListView. Is there a way to get a text view above the ListView without to much of a hassle?

I want to change the color of a substring while it is drawed in a text view. For example, if I have this text: "Hello this is a text in black color and (COLOR_RED_BEGIN)this is a text in red color. (COLOR_RED_END)", then when the text view draws the text the substring "this is a text in red color." must be drawn in red.

But now I'm on 2.1, it doesn't do anything of the sort.
e.g. let's say i had sent out a text stating; "Hi John, I will be at yours next week - you can email me at berty@bassett.com if you need me to bring anything"
so a few days later I'd start a new text. By the time I'd wrote "Hi" the system would offer me the next word as "John" - it had kind of learned what it thought I might want to say next. This was incredibly useful when entering email addresses into form pages.
Now, when I type "Hi", it offers stupid suggestions like "Hit, High, Hill" and other completely unrelated junk.
If I enable predictive texts, it auto fixes words that don't need auto fixing. I sent a text to my sister saying "lolzalot" and by the time I realised what had gone on, it had instead replaced my word with "locally"
Why is this new way of doing things so poor compared to the old 1.6 way? Or at least, how can I get it back to being like it should be.

I have, for the time being, a custom view with a 9-patch image as a border.
That custom view is placed three times in a LinearLayout, so it looks like this:
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
I have attached a click event listener to the View, so it is clickable. But then I click it, I cant see that I am clicking it - there is no change in color.
So, Im thought that I'd attach a "onPress" listener, and then change the background of the view but I couldnt find such a listener.
So, the question is - how do I create the behaviour on the View so I can see that it is being pressed? this is normally done in Android with a green background to indicate that it is now being pressed.

First off, sorry about the large screen. I am trying to get the text to wrap but am currently unable to do so. I have tried android:layout_width="fill_parent", android:scrollHorizontal="false", android:width="0dip" all of which suggested in another question. Does anyone have any idea how I can achieve text wrapping? Here's a sample of the xml: Code...

I am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).

I am working in an android application that uses a list view. I currently have a XML for the row layout with only one text view. Based on certain conditions, some rows will have one additional button and some other rows may have 2 additional buttons. Can I override the getView method of the adapter class to do this logic? is there any performance issue?

I wanted to know whether we can implement both date and time picker in one view...
In iphone app you can pick both date and time through one view. But in android we have date picker and time picker seperately. So, is there any method by which i can get values of both date and time from one view?
