I've downloaded the source for both google's default home screen and adw. I created a project in Eclipse and used those sources. However, I can not compile the code as there are quite a few errors. Does anyone know how to do this correctly? Do I need to add all of the google code to my project?
(I asked the same question in another thread, link text )

I am developing droid apps with eclipse (new to both) and have a basic Layout question. When using the layout tab (rather than the coding tab) in my main.xml, I am trying to create a home screen for when my app opens.
There is going to be the logo at the top center, then 3 simple buttons below, all centered. How do I go about formatting the Logo so it maintains a size relative to the person's screen size, and stays in the center?
I don't want to write sloppy code to where my program looks fine (UI wise) on my screen and is poorly formatted on other's screens. Also, is there good documentation explaining all of the Property values in the layout view?
HTC Sense have 7 big "home screens", which you can navigate fast. I like it a lot! But I would like to create my own "screen" which should be looking like "News" from Engadget one, but from different source. Is it possible? How?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor example, Gensoid Lite, a Sega Genesis emulator, allows you to create homescreen shortcuts to launch specific ROMs inside the app. Are there any internet radio apps that have this same functionality? I'd like to create some icons to access my favorite stations right from the homescreen instead of opening the app and going through there. I've tried XiiaLive, Cherry rPlayer, Google Listen, and TuneIn Radio and none of those have this functionality.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got my eris so i was experimenting with apps. I was reading a thread about Lockbot and decided to see what it was all about.. I messed with it for a few mins and decided i didn't like it so i uninstalled it. When i pushed the home button a menu pushed up that said something along the lines of "Home or Sence" (or something like that) and i chose sence because i was curious. Now my home screen is completely different and lost my custom scene.

I am using a ListView to display my custom item layout, which may contain some TextViews and an ImageView.
This is the item layout I made (post_item.xml):
CODE:........................
I don't put the ImageView initially in the xml layout, but I will insert it when I need to the FrameLayout programmatically (I also put another views in it when needed). So, there will be some items which has ImageView in it and which don't.
I get the image to fill the ImageView from the Internet (through URL), decode it as Bitmap, and keep it as a Bitmap variable in a class represents the custom item layout (class PostItem).
When the activity shows for the first time it looks fine, but as I scrolled through the items then a problem showed up, the items which shouldn't show any image show the image from the other item which should, although they don't have any ImageView (because I didn't insert it).
I am using SDK 1.6 and the emulator. Haven't tried it in real device because I don't have it.
Here is my code for the Adapter:
CODE:..............
And this is the code to prepare the items:
CODE:.........................
Is this the bug in the emulator or there is some mistake in my code (probably memory problem for the Bitmap)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I am using any app and press the home button, the home screen blacks out for a few secs and it takes around 10 sec to get all the icons back and before I can start using my phone again. I am using a non rooted mytouch 3g.
This problem does not happen if I exit an app by pressing the back button. It becomes very annoying at times.
I am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a component using an xml layout file. I defined a layout with some custom attributes. This layout is inflated when user add it inside another layout. My problem is I don't know the parent, so I pass null for the parent viewgroup when I call inflate method. I think that's the reason why I see anything in my view. Do you know how can I do (I don't want to redefine onDraw method because I use existing component). Below my xml layout and my custom class.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know how to create and apply styles and themes thanks to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html.

Of course, I'd like to select one of these theme by programing. If I could customize the status bar as well, it would be perfect. I didn't find out documentation about that.
