Android :: Characters Not Supported In Custom Font Showing Up As Blanks
Nov 22, 2010
I'm attempting to use the Neucha font from Google Font Directory (link) in my Android app.
With other custom fonts, unsupported characters are still displayed, such as Japanese characters, as well as accented characters. However with the Neucha font, most unsupported characters (such as Asian ones) are displayed, but some accented characters (â, ã, ä, å, ą, ô, õ, ö, ő for example) are not displayed. Instead blank spaces are shown in their places.
Is this an issue with the font, or with Android? What can I do to get characters not supported by this font to be displayed using the default font in an EditText view?

Is there any way to "teach" Android to recognize the characters not displaying in the attached image? Unaccented characters always display fine, but most accented characters show up as a rectangle. They display the same way in the stock browser, Chrome, and Drive, so I suspect it's system-wide.

Is there anyway to set a custom font or color for the selected item in a Spinner? For example, I open the spinner and click a priority of "High". I'm my layout containing the spinner, I would like to see the word "High" in red or a custom font.
I can't seem to obtain the textview to make the necessary change. I always obtain a NullPointerException if I typecast the spinner.getSelectedView() to textview and attempt to set the color.

I have an appwidget which displays time with some text. This text can have different fonts, which the user can choose from. Every minute the appwidget updates to display the correct time. But for some unknown reason sometimes when the widget is updated the text shows anything except the time, ranging from chines to random numbers.

I recently decided to remake my UI, I had text built into my ImageViews which I was advised against, so I have now gone with TextViews, however I would like to carry on using the Roboto font. Is it possible to do so?
I have already added "Roboto-Light" to the assets/fonts folder but I'm looking for an easy way to implement it since I want some TextViews to have the font and some to be standard.
Is there a way I can do it in the XML? So I can select individual TextViews rather than the entire application?

Just picked up the Epic yesterday, and already been having issues all day long. The phone has does this about 5 or 6 times today. It will fade away, and when I come back to it a little later to check messages or anything, it will all be blacked out, and nothing will come back. (by hitting the power button) No matter what I push, the screen stays black, and the phone seems like it is off. (A few times, the lights have stayed on, and the buttons act like they are responding, but nothing works still) It has also lost signal completely twice today, and I've had to restart it to get signal back.

I'm wondering how I can create a custom pop-up like the one in the screenshot below (borrowed from the Swype keyboard), where I can have a couple of buttons, which each commit a string to the currently "connected" TextView (via a InputConnection). Please note: this is an InputMethodService and not an ordinary Activity. I already tried launching a separate Activity with Theme:Dialog. However, as soon as that one opens I lose my focus with the TextView and my keyboard disappears (and with that my InputConnection is gone).

I have a custom view. I am scrolling the view vertically using scrollTo (int, int). But the scrollbar is not showing when scrolling. I tried awakenScrollBars(). But its not drawing the scrollbar. I also put setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true). Whether I am missing something here ?

I bought a Sony Ericcson Mini Pro in August 2010. The display screen on the phone sometimes blanks out completely and is quite erratic in nature. Only when I pull the battery cover the display screen starts on.

I made this video to show the difference between a stock Evo and one that has the FPS uncap via a custom kernel, in this case, netarchy-toastmod 4.1.7. See my sig for the kernel download link. I shot this at 60fps and 1080p in order to try to capture the difference in framerate before and after. 720p max on youtube. I believe it's the sharpest video out there showing off the difference. Look for two things: scrolling smoothness, and finger tracking. Tracking is the ability of the phone to keep the screen "stuck" to the finger. The better it does this, the better the tracking, and it makes the phone feel very responsive to your commands.
To many people, the difference is night and day. To some, they don't see/feel the difference. I find that hard to believe, which is why I made this video. The truth is out there.
TIP: Click on the video below and watch it from youtube. It's larger and sharper there.

I'm trying to create a custom titlebar in my app that looks like this (essentially):
For some reason, the icon shows up, but not the title text. It's really weird. For a split second you see the title text, but then it disappears and only the icon shows in the title.
My code is as follows:
==========================window_title.xml======== ==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
androidrientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="60px"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
[code]....

I am writing a custom component (derived from a relative layout) which has to show a dialog. Is there a way to do this using callbacks like oncreatedialog or onpreparedialog? if not: if i have to create the dialog outside oncreatedialog, i have to "attach it to an Activity with setOwnerActivity(Activity)". How can the custom component access the activity it is used in, when it is used in the activity's xml-layout and not created from code?

This is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.

I am having difficulty while parsing some Turkish sites.Here is the part of the code. The problem is when the title contains some non-UTF characters like it stops parsing and doesnt read the rest. For example if the title is "Ebru askere gitti" it only reads until which is "Ebru G". Or when reading "Serdar Orta net oldu" it only read "Serdar Or"

I'm using a SAXParser to parse an XML document and its getting stuck on certain symbols like the 'trademark' symbol and I think even double- quotes". I really don't need these characters so it would be fine if the parser just skips over these. Instead it throws an exception and quits parsing the document. What can I do?

Currently I have an edittext field that when the user presses enter it does mostly what I want it to, validate an IP Address format and inform the user if it is wrong. How do I make it so when the user presses enter it checks it like it is supposed to be does not enter the newline character?
Here is my code for it.
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent arg2) {
if(validateIPaddress(m_etIPAddress.getText().toString())){
ConfigData.m_IPAddress = m_etIPAddress.getText().toString();
} else { showAlertDialog("Invalid IP Address
Example: 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0","Error: ");
m_etIPAddress.setText(ConfigData.m_IPAddress);
m_etIPAddress.requestFocus();
} return false;
}
Another problem I have is that in the false condition of the validation, that it will not bring up the soft keyboard to allow the user to reedit that text field. If the user clicks on another edit text the window gives it focus, and allows the user to edit the second text field while still maintaining the 'green outline' around the original edittext.
The EditText still creates a newline. I tried calling that when I create the EditText and it shows the dialog then inserts a newline character at the beginning which is weird because the
m_etIPAddress.setText(ConfigData.m_IPAddress);
Should automatically overwrite anything in that field to the static IP saved within ConfigData. (my settings class) and I think the focus might work, the problem is that after requestFocus, that EditText shows it has focus but is unresponsive. I can click on other EditText's and modify them, while it still shows the focus outline on the IP EditText. If I click on the IP EditText it doesn't actually do anything. Its kind of strange.

I am working on a font rendering project for one of my applications in android. I am trying to input a language like.I used the Softkeyboard sample for building the Language Keyboard. I was able to type characters of the language using a font in assets folder.But The problem is As soon as I type a character and a Half word character the later replaces the first character. And the first character disappears as soon as the half word character is typed.I wish that respective glyph is displayed for respective character,half word combination.I looked at update classes they are fine. Couldn't find where the displacing thing is happening.
