My question is almost exactly this question:
Clone textview to append it to a ViewGroup
However, I was inflating a view, and then attempting to clone it at the object level for performance reasons (I don't want to parse XML every single time), so that answer doesn't help me. View.clone() is protected and it apparently doesn't have a copy constructor. Is there any way to do this?

I like to know how can i clone a view object which is already there in the view hierarchy, so that it can be added to the same view hierarchy again.

My android application works well but it's performance(speed) is slow. In my logcat i saw frequent garbage collection operation like
11-02 15:07:20.647: DEBUG/dalvikvm(12571): GC freed 295 objects / 38448 bytes in 93ms
Is this the reason for low performance? How can i improve my applications performance?
I want a application level object in Android.Here is the scenario... Suppose I want to pass a object from Activity A to Activity B then to Activity C D......... Then I will have to pass that object from Activity A to B then to C then to D....... Passing the Parcel Through the Bundle. Is there a Object in Android which can be accessed by all the Activities and its lifetime is same as the lifetime of the application.

I don't see any methods in View that return Activity. What is the proper way to do this? Or is there a better alternative for working with TextViews from within another View context. Basically, I am calling setContentView(R.layout.xxx) in onCreate() (as usual), so I don't really have a way to pass in references to additional TextViews unless I awkwardly retrieve the View after setContentView and then make calls on it.

I have a very simple requirement. I have a View object, lets say an ImageView object. I want to move this ImageView object in a circle.
More specifically, I want to move it along an arc, which is not a complete circle. I found in Android Documentation that comes with SDK that we can create a path from an arc but it does not mention how to use this path to make an animation that goes along that path.
Please note that I dont want to rotate the image. I have to move it in a circular path.

I have a Adapter View derived class (say GridLayout) in which I arrange views in a grid. When items in the grid exceed the height of the GridLayout( or screen) I want a scrollbar to appear.

The docs say the scrollbar appears every time the scrollTo or scrollBy methods are called.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis subject originates here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread...
To sum up:
When I click on an item in the ListView, the background color that gets changed is not that of the clicked item but instead of the other item in the opposite side relative to the middle item:
1 <-- I click here 2 3 <-- Acts as a mirror 4 5 <-- This is the one that gets changed
1 2 <-- This is the one that gets changed 3 <-- Acts as a mirror 4 <-- I click here 5
This problem persists even when I use CheckedTextView like what is suggested in the post.
I use the latest stable SDK.
This problem occurs when the target platform is Android 1.6, 2.0 or 2.0.1.
The problem does not occur when the target platform is Android 1.1 or 1.5.
However, the problem will also occur when the program is compiled for 1.5 and run in 2.0.1.
The simple problematic code can be found here: [url]
There I also put the screenshots showing the problem: demo01.png: I click an item. demo02.png: the clicked item doesn't get changed but the reflective item does.
Is this a bug in newer Android platforms?
If it is intended, what is the reason and could you please show me how I should fix my code?
I want to get the current focus view in my Service to check the view is a EditText and append some texts in it (for all EditTexts, not only in my application).
I found some methods to do this, like Activity.getCurrentFocus() and Windows.getCurrentFocus(). But these methods are used in a Activity.
How can I use these methods in a Service? Or is there another way to do?
I have a custom view that draws to a canvas. I am trying to invoke changes to the canvas when the user pushes a button from the activity that this view is tied to. Currently, I am attempting to do this by calling a public method, called setNewDrawable, that I created inside the view.
The debugger is giving me different values for the view ID depending on whether I'm inside setNewDrawable or inside the Overridden onDraw method when I post an Invalidate.
For example the debugger variables show: (This - MyView id=830067720176) or (This - MyView id=830067712344) in setNewDrawable and onDraw respectively. This makes me think I basically have two copies of the object and I am essentially interacting with the wrong one.
How can I get information to my custom View in order to determine what it draws?
Here is the code I am running...
My purpose is very simple : each 1second, I want to redraw an object on different place on background. I do not know where my error on this code below. Here is my code:
public class My_View extends View{ private Bitmap mBackground_img;
private Drawable mMoveObject; private int mObjectw,mObjecth; private int Dx,Dy;
private Handler myHandler = new Handler(); private long lasttime;
public My_View(Context context,AttributeSet ats,int ds) {
super(context,ats,ds); init(context);
} public My_View(Context context,AttributeSet ats) { super(context,ats);
init(context); } public My_View(Context context) { super(context);
init(context); } public void change() { invalidate();
} private void init(Context context) {
Resources res = context.getResources();
mMoveObject = res.getDrawable (R.drawable.lander_firing);
mBackground_img = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.my_pic);
mObjectw = mMoveObject.getIntrinsicWidth();
mObjecth = mMoveObject.getIntrinsicHeight();
Dx = Dy = 0; lasttime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000;
Thread mthread = new Thread(null,doBackground,"Background");
mthread.start(); } private Runnable doBackground = new Runnable() {
public void run() { long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
if(lasttime < now ) { Dx = Dx + 10; Dy = Dy + 10;
lasttime = now + 1000; myHandler.post(change_view);
} } }; private Runnable change_view = new Runnable() {
public void run() { change();
} };
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(mBackground_img,0 ,0 , null);
mMoveObject.setBounds(Dx, Dy, Dx+mObjectw, Dy+mObjecth);
mMoveObject.draw(canvas);
} }
In my program I have a custom view object. Inside the view class is a method called foo. For some reason when I call foo from my activity, it doesn't fire. Here is the code:
XML of the custom view:
<com.company.application.MyView android:id="@+id/my_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The activity code:
public class Main extends Activity { MyView mView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = li.inflate(R.layout.main, null); mView= (MyView) v.findViewById(R.id.my_view);
//A button to fire the method inside foo() Button switchLeft = (Button) findViewById(R.id.switch_left); switchLeft.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { callTest(); } } );
} public void callTest() { Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "clicked left arrow");
mView.foo(); mView.postInvalidate();
} }
Finally here is foo:
public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas); Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set");
}
The first log is always written when the button is pressed, but the second log is not because foo never fires. What is the deal here? Upon request, the full view
public class MyView extends View { Drawable mBackground; Context mContext;
public MyView (Context context) { super(context); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public MyView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs); mContext = context;
mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.leftarrow1);
} public void foo() { mBackground = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.temp_canvas);
Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "background set"); }
@Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL); // draw a solid blue circle
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE); canvas.drawCircle(20, 20, 15, paint);
// draw a test background mBackground.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 400);
mBackground.draw(canvas); }
}
I'm looking into writing an Android game, tough I don't curerntly own an Android device. For those of you who own a device, how does the performance on the emulator relate to real device performance? I'm especially interested in graphics related tasks.This obviously depends on both the machine running the emulator, and the specific device in question, but I'm talking rough numbers here.This question is a duplicate, but since that post is heavily outdated, I figured it's irrelevant by now.
