Aug 2, 2010I'm a web designer by nature, accustomed to changing resolutions and font sizes, but I'm unsure how to design for the Android platform without knowledge of screen sizes, especially when the screen rotates from portrait mode to landscape.
Should I just do generic things that tile, or is there a way to design things of static size?
By this, I mean for the GUI and graphics, not element nodes of the XML.
Android :: ListActivity Design / Changing Content Of List Adapter
May 31, 2010I would like to write a rather simple content application which displays a list of textual items (along with a small pic).I have a standard menu in which each menu item represents a different category of textual items (news, sports, leisure etc.).Pressing a menu item will display a list of textual items of this category.Now, having a separate ListActivity for each category seems like an overkill (or does it?)
Naturally, it makes much more sense to use one ListActivity and replace the data of its adapter when each category is loaded.My concern is when "back" is pressed. The adapter is loaded with items of the current category and now I need to display list of the previous category (and enable clicking on list items too)
Since I have only one activity - I thought of backup and load mechanism in onPause() and onResume() functions as well as making some distinction whether these function are invoked as a result of a "new" event (menu item selected) or by a "back" press.This seems very cumbersome for such a trivial usage.Am I missing something here?
Android : Design A Custom Control / Use It In Xml Layout?
Aug 9, 2010I understand how to create a custom Android control, and I believe I understand how to pull attributes for it from the Xml layout. I don't know, however, how to get any children elements from it. Here's a visual example of what I'm trying to accomplish: public class Menu extends LinearLayout. When my Menu is created, how do I get references to the two MenuItems. Code...

Android :: Design A Layout In Portrait And Landscape Orientations?
Aug 29, 2010I am finding that my layouts tend to look great in one orientation but if I change the phone's orientation, things are a mess. For example on one screen I have 6 large buttons that look great in portrait orientation but if the user changes phone orientation, those buttons get cut off in portrait.
Do I need to code two layouts for every screen - one for portrait and one for landscape? That would be such a waste of time.

Android :: Changing Widget Layout Programmatically

So if the user changes to Layout2, how do I programmatically change the layout to Layout2? There isn't a setContentView method for widgets like there is for Activities.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Changing Linear Layout In Widget
Apr 28, 2010I have this really annoying problem:In my widget, i would like to change the background by code. I noticed on the Google doc than I can easily change the background of an Imageview: remoteViews.setImageViewResource (R.id.my_iv, R.drawable.my_bg);Ok, too easy, i want to change now the Linear layout.. What I read about the remoteview id that I can change a Bitmap, Int, Bool, String, etc. but not a drawable. So i guess i cannot use:remoteViews. set Bitmap (R.id.my_ll, "setBackgroundDrawable",BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.get Resources(), R.drawablemy_bg));I am totally disapointed and tried a last idea: views.setInt (R.id. my_ ll,"setBackground Resource" ,R.drawable.my_bg);But The logcat told me: android. widget. Remote Views $Action Exception: view: android. widget.LinearLayout can't use method with RemoteViews:setBackgroundResource(int)I am totally lost and I really don't know what to do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Switching Between Listviews Without Changing Layout?
Nov 8, 2010I'm not looking for exact code here, just a direction on what to look for and what I should be reading about so I can figure this out. I have a layout that I would like to remain static, with only the listview changing depending on what's selected from the list. I've reloaded data in the list, but I would like the fancy transition animations between choices, and would like the app to go to the previous menu when pressing back.
Someone suggested using a viewswitcher, which seems like it'd be great, but I am still unsure about how to fill a listview in a layout with a regular row layout, then on selection do an animated transition to a custom row. Also, it seems the viewswitcher is limited to two views, so it may be a limitation when I want to go a few menus deeper. Preferably, I'd like to put each menu in it's own class so that I can handle filling it in that class, if possible...
Android :: Widget Buttons - Images Changing The Layout
Nov 21, 2010I can write a widget with a Button or ImageButton and assign a StateDrawable as background or sourcein order to make an effect when you click it. Besides that I have problems with the side of each button, my main problem is this: how do I change the StateDrawable if I want to change the image of the button from the AppWidgetProvider but still want to preserve the click effect like a StateDrawable. The power control widget in Android does things like that.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Changing One TextView With OnSensorChanged Without Redrawing Entire Layout
Jun 8, 2009I am having a bit of trouble with my current application. With a button at the beginning of my app, I send out Intents for two activities, one gets a camera object, and starts a preview screen. On top of that, in a separate layout, there is an activity with a translucent view, which shows a resource image (the user is trying to get the image he is actually taking to align with the translucent image) and a couple of textviews displaying a target phone orientation as well as the user's current phone orientation.
when I update the text value of one of my text views in my onSensorChanged() field, the system constantly reallocates 1.22MB and garbage collects it. I can only assume that this is because it is redrawing the entire layout with the translucent image and the text fields, because if I remove the view containing the translucent image from the layout, my text field updates 10x quicker and I don't have ridiculous heap growing / garbage collecting. I am wondering how to go about getting the text fields to update without redrawing the entire surface. I am very new to UI design, and this code was written by someone else before I took over the project, so I don't understand much of what is going on in the custom view he wrote to take care of the translucent image -- called MyView. I will post the code for the layout as well as the MyView code below.................................
Android :: Changing Values Inside Layout Included With Include
Oct 28, 2010I have in many of my screens that re mostly constructed of LinearLayouts a FrameLayout that should take up the bottom leftovers of the screen (using layout_height="0dp" layout_weight="1") inside it there's a FrameLayout with gradients background and in it's middle with some padding lies a button with some text, naturally i need the text and onClicked properties to me different from screen to screen. I considered using <include > tag for the above compound in my layouts, but as far as i can see i can't really change (at least not in xml) the button text and callback, is that really so?

Android :: Call Spinner's Value - Use Other Values Based On A Spinner's Value
Jan 25, 2010I have a spinner 'aperture' set up with a list of numbers, and a spinner 'mode' with two options. When a button is pushed I need a calculation to run using various inputs, including the current selection from 'aperture' and a value derived from 'mode'. How do I call the value of a spinner so I can use it in a calculation?
Also, how do I use the spinner 'mode's selection to set this other value before implimenting it in the calculation? To be more specific, if the spinner is set to Small then the value I use in the calculation is 0.015, whereas if Large is selected I need to use 0.028
My other inputs are EditText views, so right now I am set up like this:
CODE:............
That is not the actual equation, it is just a test to make sure everything connects properly. How would I call the value of spinner 'aperture' and the Small/Large spinner 'mode'
Android :: Popup List Like Spinner Without Spinner
Jan 25, 2010I have a spinner widget in my activity which lets users pick a list name.
Normally, the function of the spinner is to switch between lists but for a couple of instances, I swap out the selection change listener to perform a different function with the same list of options. Once the selection has been made, the old listener is restored and life goes on.
This is a bad and buggy arrangement. Instead, I would like to have a function that just takes a selection listener and some other parameters and shows a popup list that's populated by the same cursor (or and identical cursor) as the spinner, without using the spinner itself.
Is there any way I can do this?
