But I can't find out, why. The same example is everywhere across the web.
I'm suffering from this for a week, i was trying to use the famous SeekBarPreference in a dialog - http://android.hlidskialf.com/blog/code/android-seekbar-preference
I copied the class from above link into my project. Then created the xml as brightness.xml:
CODE:............
Finally I try to integrate it as custom dialog:
CODE:...................
But always getting error: "Error inflating class java.lang.reflect.Constructor" at this line "<com.yoomap.anymode.SeekBarPreference" in the xml
Root cause: ClassCastException on SeekBarPreference.
I defined a local Service:

Then i try to bind the service in another activity in another application, where the same interface is available:

Always throws a

I can't explain why, I followed the app sample on http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LocalServiceBinding.html.
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but...Why can't I nest another view type within a View element? In my layout file I try:
CODE:...
And this gives me a ClassCastException. Why?
I am new to java, eclipse, and android development, so I may be missing something simple although I have checked basic stuff like spelling several times.
Because there is no number picker control (such as that used in the date picker) in the public Android SDK, the conventional wisdom is to "clone and own" the control that exists in the Android source.
In an attempt to do that, I have copied the code for NumberPicker into my project and its dependency, NumberPickerButton. I have also copied the supporting resources.
The problem I am having is that when I try to include the NumberPicker in a layout, the rendered version of the layout within Eclipse does not work.
CODE:...............
Adding that tag causes the Layout view of the XML file to only show the following error.
ClassCastException: com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton cannot be cast to com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton
I have tried both the fully qualified name and the unqualified name and it makes no difference.
The strange thing is that the control works at run time, it just will not render in Eclipse.
Is there a solution for this issue? Am I just doing something wrong?
If necessary, I can include more code from my project to clarify.
If I reference the internal Android widget, it works fine in the Eclipse layout view, but it is clumsy to interact with that way and it might break in the future.
CODE:............
Here is the stack trace from Eclipse.

This is probably related to this question. I want to know if anyone else gets the same error as me and if there is a way to get around this. I did the following: Followed the instructions from this page. From the top, go to File -> Create a new project -> Android Project -> Create project from existing sample. Checked Android 2.2. From the drop-down menu picked SkeletonApp. Clicked finish. From the package explorer, went to SkeletonActivity -> res -> layout -> skeleton_activity.xml. In the tabs at the bottom of the editor area (editor area is the center of the screen) clicked on Layout. Then I got the error "ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to andoid.text.ViewGroup". The full text of the error message is given below.

I've been trying to add a linear layout to a listview header. The listview appears fine and is working as expected, but when i try to add a linearlayout to the header i get a java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams occuring at the list.addHeaderView (ll); line. I thought it might be something in the complex layout i had so i switched it to just a linearlayout with a colored background and still got the same error. The end result i an trying to get is a list with a header that is all scrollable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've run into an early problem with developing for android. I've made my own custom View (which works well). In the beginning i just added it to the layout programmatically, but i figured i could try putting it into the XML layout instead (for consistency).
So what i got is this:
main.xml:
CODE:..........
(Theres obviously more, but you get the point)
Now, this is the stacktrace:

Why cant i cast my custom view? I need it to be that type since it has a few extra methods in it that i want to access. Should i restructure it and have another class handle the logic, and then just having the view being a view? I'd really like this to work though.
Why do I get java.lang.ClassCastException when I tried to cast back an array of custom object that implements Parcelable?

I am writing a adapter for a specific app, the problem I met is:
I have only 1 listview in main.xml, and the row style is defined in file_row.xml. If I simply use list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); where items is a ArrayList<String>, everything works well.
But if I use my custom Adapter, say, list.setAdapter(new MyOwnListAdapter(this, filename)); and in the class of MyOwnListAdapter, the code has been simplified as
CODE:................
But I always met the problem which is:
CODE:.........
I thought the self-defined Adapter class actually has only one line of valid execution, which is super(context, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, filename_list); It's essentially identical to direct calling of list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.file_row, R.id.file_name, items)); Then why I always got this error if I call my own Adapter?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add a big feature to an application i am developping, but as this feature interest few people and is quite independant from the main part, I would like to put that in a seperate "plugin" application.Does anyone knows any design patterns, snippets, "reference" examples about such design?In particular that separate plugin application should be able to access some tables in the main application DB. Is it possible to do that without broadcast receiver? - the main application uses a TabActivity: is it possible that a the tabactivity instanciates an Intent Activity that is part of the plugin? - does the plugin can access main application preferences (not sure this would be necessary, but better to anticipate the question!) is it possible from the plugin to access main applications ressources?At least the 2 first points are mandatory for me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it is possible to launch my application whenever a new entry is written to phone call log (i.e. out-going, in-coming or missed call). I wrote an application to manage the call log entries as per user preferences by listening to the publication of android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE events. My application is working fine as long as its process is running. However if the user has stopped my application with a task-killer application, then the log entries can not be managed as my app itself was not running. I need a way to make sure that my application is launched in the background if it is not already running when the android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE occurs. Or is it possible to launch my application as a service that always runs?

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy application is a trial version apk. Once the period is completed, can I initiate another application to be installed/downloaded from the android market ( purchasing process) which is a paid application using the current running trail application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI guess that Android won't let people to do this, because they think they have perfect handle for the task/applications. However, I really need to do this in my case.
I have an activity A acting as the entry point of my application. In that activity, it reads the preference and decided which activity to start, say B or C. After that, it finishes itself. So, activity A never appears to the users.
My application stores things on sdcard, and reads from it constantly. So, when the sdcard is unmounted, I need to display a message to the user that the sdcard is unavailable, instead of opening B or C. I set a check in A to display that message when sdcard is unavilable. When that message is displayed, A will not try to start B or C.
Things works perfectly if user only enter my application from application launcher. However, I found that user can also enter my application by long pressing home and choose it from the recent application list, if he has opened it recently. When user does that, it skips A and goes directly to B or C. I don't have the check in both of them, so exception is thrown while I am trying to access sdcard, and force close dialog pops up.
I can simply move my check to both B and C to fix this problem. But in the future, the number of activities started from A will increase. If there are 6 of them, I'll need to copy this check to 6 places. Needless to say, this looks very ugly, and is a maintenance nightmare.
So, the best fix should be removing my application from recent application list when the sdcard is uunmounted. However, I can't find how to do this. Even killing the process or use ActivityManager.restartPackage, it still appears in the list. Can anyone tell me how to remove it from the list?

In RIM there is a "ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().launch("String path")" method that launches directly RIM application mentioned in "String path".
Is there any method like this in android or any other way to solve this problem ?
Is there any way to hide an application icon from Android applications list ? The application should be downloaded from Market and opened some GUI for configuring my application. I don't want to see any icon of my application in applications list. User should not be able to run it.
By the way I know some way:
remove this line from manifest
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
But it is not worked for me, because the GUI is not shown.

I have published application and now I'm making update to it. I changed applications Data structure and moved all files under /Android/ data/<package_name>/files/ folder.All files that are in that folder will be automatically removed when application is uninstalled.I want those files to be removed when application is uninstalled but not when it's UPDATED. I don't want users to lose all their data after every update. I don't know how to test it (without publishing new release). So will those files be deleted when user updates my application?
