I would like to show a modal progress "wheel" overlay on my view.
The ProgressDialog comes closs, but i do not want the dialog background or border.
I tried setting the background drawable of the dialog window:
CODE:............
But to no avail (i.e. still looks the same as without the ...setBackgroundDrawable code).

On my app I will be reading in from an XML file thats formatted something like this
<database> <db1>
<db> <name>name here</name> <street>street here</street> <long> longitude here</long> <lat> latitude here </lat> </db>
<db> <name> new name here </name> <street> new street here </street> <long> new longitude here </long> <lat> new latitude here </latitude> </db>
</db1> </database>
With this information I need to create Overlay Markers on the map (using latitude and longitude) and when they're clicked on I need it to display the name with the address. Depending on the conditions of where the map is, the number of markers will be different so I need a dynamic model for reading in these markers.
If I were to use Document methods like getElementById(String name) then I couldn't call getElementById("name") because it would likely try to call just the first <name></name> or give an unintended result.
I have been searching forever and have not found a way to create a horizontal progress bar at runtime (I don't want to use XML). How can I set this XML attribute, as seen in this post http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread..., programmatically?

That button should open a detail activity. How can I make this? How is possible to personalize the overlay "info window"?

View 17 Replies View RelatedI am trying to put together a modal box with a scrollable list of checkable items and an OK and Cancel button at the bottom for the user to select filters from. It seems the simplest way to do things like this in Android is to reuse API components (widgets, layouts, etc) and the closest one I can find to this looks to be the ListPreference, which basically does exactly what I want (I can even work with storing the data in SharedPreferences). The problem is that I'm not launching this modal box from a PreferenceActivity, but rather will be launching it from either of two activities: a ListActivity and a MapActivity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read on Reto Meier's blog that he doesn't recommend the use of modal "Loading" dialogs in Android applications. Is this a general consensus among developers? If I have a login screen what should I display when the user tries to sign in? Until now, I have used a "Signing in" indeterminate progress dialog. Should I use the application's progress bar? Should I use a Toast? And, in the general case, when should I use dialogs and when not to?
View 1 Replies View RelatedA button on our screen causes an activity to be shown that has a "dialog" theme. We are having an issue were if you click the button quickly twice in a row, the dialog activity is opened twice.
Typically I would expect that when a new activity is started, the underlying activity is immediately stopped, and thus accepts no further input.
However, since the dialog themed activity does not take over the whole screen, I think the underlying activity is only paused, not stopped and thus the buttons are still accessible.
Which brings me to my question... Is there a way to force the dialog themed activity into a modal state where the user can't click the buttons on the activity below?
I could probably manually accomplish this by disabling everything in onPause, and reenabling it in onResume, but this seems like a lot of work!
I would like add a rotating wheel which indicates that my application do somethings in the application bar (where its name appears ).

I would like to implement a time settings wheel widget like the one iPhone has (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/art/ui_datetimepicker.jpg). Should I use GlSurfaceView or just extend View? Should I make it as a compound View (it would consist of several Views) or draw everything on the Canvas in onDraw? In case I won't extend GlSurfaceView, how to do (smooth) animations? Start a Thread and call postInvalidate()?

On some of them is going to be a label like "sale" and a short discription. On startup I want to display a loading animation at that place until the product photo is downloaded.
Use layer list or state list for one product photo?
Could you please show me, how to set that up?
How to make that spinner spin?
How to turn it on or off (how to access the layer list through code)?
By the way, is "spinner" the best word for this? It seems to stand for several things. Feel free to edit this question, if I didn't hit the right words.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was thinking about installing a Pioneer Appradio 2 to control my phone on my car stereo. I can't justify spending who knows what on installation costs when all I want is to hear my Pandora through my stereo and conveniently able to switch apps. Then I thought about a possible workaround, using my steering wheel. It has Volume/Channel up/down and a Mode button.
Is there a way to integrate my steering wheel buttons into switching volume, changing tracks and switching modes while still being able to use it with my existing stereo? I have an AM/FM radio w/ CD player and also a tape deck.Is there a way to hook up a backup camera to your Smartphone via bluetooth? My current setup is Smartphone to Bluetooth to tape deck adapter to stereo. I had the car dock for my RAZR MAXX but the audio went bad on it.
All other directions work. Not sure if this was the case straight out of the box, as hardly use the mouse wheel / ball. Anyone know if this could be an 'out of calibration' problem that can be adjusted, or is it just broken? Have to admit dropping the phone once, but not that hard!

Its a picture of a simcard with a small cog wheel in the bottom left of it.

This is a HTC Magic with 1.5 on it.
So I use my X to stream pandora/slacker and the droid media player through my ford sync bluetooth system. I am having two separate issues I am hoping someone can comment on.
The first is that pretty much every other time I try to stream music I do not get any sound. I have to reboot my phone for it to work. Everything is paired correctly and volume it turned up etc. This is my 2nd X and they both did the same thing. Happens on 2.1 and 2.2 leak
Second is that my steering wheel controls randomly work. Sometimes the music player doesn't skip sometimes it does. Also recently if I have pandora or slacker playing and I press the skip forward button on my steering wheel the droid music player starts and I get both slacker/pandora and the droid music player playing at the same time. I should also mention i am on the 2.2 leak.
I am trying to design a widget which looks like the "spinning wheel" (I am not sure it is appropriate name for it) widget that you can use to set up alarms or counters on the clock app provided with HTC Hero.
For those who do not know this application, this widget is made up with wheels that you scroll to specify hours, minutes, seconds.
I think it could be something like a kind of listview with a mask on it that isolate the selected element or a costumized timePicker but I do not manage to implement my widget from them and I did not find any tutorial on this topic.
Is there an easy way to do this based on ListViews?
I'm trying to update the project at http://code.google.com/p/android-wheel/ to act like the iPhone spinner/Urban Spoon App.
I want to add acceleration/deceleration to scrolling, as well as a spinning animation. I just don't know where to start. I was able to get the whole control to slide with the built in android transitions by adding the effects to the onTouchEvent in the WheelView here.
Obviously that's not very useful and I don't think the transition animations are what I need. Can anybody take a look at this and at the very least suggest how to start modifying it to do what I want? Any help would be appreciated. I don't expect anybody to implement this and hand it to me but I'm confused and frustrated with this, so I would like some kind of guidance.
I've tried the webview method here but it loads and runs kind of slow and it doesn't animate either so I'd rather just use the customized Android controls if possible.
