Android :: ContactsContract - Contact Missing Constants From API?
Sep 30, 2010I've been using the ContactsContract api for some time now and I've come across two "columns" listed in the API page for ContactsContract.Contacts that do not appear to actually be assessable.
CODE:.....
By my reading of the API these two values would seem to connect to the Structured Name (in DATA) used to construct the display name for the given contact. Having access to this directly from the contact table would be incredibly useful to me at the moment, but as far as I can tell they are not actually in the working api (I've tested against both 2.1 and 2.2).
The associated constants do not exist in the Contacts object, and attempting to access the fields directly (by using the lower case string versions I've seen in code dumps online) turns up with an sql error -- invalid column, as you might expect.
Has anyone had any better luck with accessing these? Are these actually in the API?
I did some more checking and here's some related values from RawContacts that are listed on the API but appear to not actually be in it: DISPLAY_NAME_ALTERNATIVE, DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY, DISPLAY_NAME_SOURCE, PHONETIC_NAME, PHONETIC_NAME_STYLE, SORT_KEY_ALTERNATIVE, and SORT_KEY_PRIMARY.
All of these appear to be features not yet in the API that are mistakenly not filtered out when the javadoc was released. If other folks are unable to access these features as well it might be worth filing a bug report over.

Oct 3, 2010I'm sure this is simple, but I've got myself confused over it.I have an image resource, such as R.drawable.myimage, and I want to convert this into a URI.I tried:
Uri selectedImage = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.my.package/" + resourceId);
but this just returns a NullPointer. The resourceId needs to be dynamic (so I can pass any image to it), not just a hardcoded "myImage".Any help please?

Nov 22, 2010Let's say I randomly generate a number 0 to 100. Where 0 is really cold and 100 is red hot. Wen the number hits, it would show an image bar (kind of like a % finished bar) that shows in the image what # you hit.
So it would kind of be like a progress bar from 0 to 100, and whatever # they hit it shows in the image of the bar in an imageview?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Creating Sound Notifications But No UI
Oct 18, 2010I am creating one notification based on some event. This notification will only create sound. I just want to generate the sound using this notification, but no UI. Following is my code for this:
// make notification sound whenever the device is connected or disconnected
Notification notification = new Notification();
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// notify to all, manager.notify(0, notification);
I am facing few problems and have some doubts. I tried to search for answers in this post but could not find, so I am posting here for your people's suggestions:
1. Here I am using 0 as id for the notification. Is it good in practice. Since, I don't want to that this notification conflicts with other.
2. I have one doubt, about notification ids, e.g. if i keep my notifications id as 1 and some other application also have set that as 1. In that case, will my notification be updated. or Android treats, application's notifications differently.
3. Is it necessary to add FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL flag in my notification. Because, I think this is used when notification will appear in the status bar. But in my case, I have no UI. It means nothing will appear in status bar.
4. Currently there is one problem. When my notification makes sound, sometimes it seems that it is suppressed or distorted by any other sound or event. I am not sure what is happening there.
Android :: Creating Softkeyboard Dynamically
Mar 15, 2010Is it possible to write an Softkeyboard without XML or is this the time I'll need it?The idea is: I have an Arraylist with buttons which have a specific position in the layout, height, width, text etc. Those buttons should create my keyboard by converting them into keys.If this won't work, my second idea is, to write a XML-File out of Java.I wonder if one of these ideas are possible.

Currently I have created a class for each map location and a class for each url link, but this would mean I would have in excess of 500 classes, so what I want to do is split the subjects in four catergories ie. listview of about 23 in four tabs which I have done and create a class that gets the url based on the selection the use makes and do the same for the map locations.Do I need to put these in a xml using the id method and how do you call individual entries, i.e. would I need 500 Android:id is there an easier way?

Android :: Creating XML File With Identation
Nov 22, 2010How can I create a XML file that has identation or, at least, line breaks between each tag? I'm using class XMLSerializer (available in Android) to handle the XML creation.

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
serializer.setOutput(writer);
String xmlFileContents = writer.toString();
Then I use the contents of xmlFileContents to create a file, using a BufferedWriter. The file is written, but the XML is not idented, and would like it to be.

Android :: Creating Scrollable Layout
May 6, 2010I'm trying to create a "scrollable" layout in Android. Even using developers.android.com, though, I feel a little bit lost at the moment. I'm somewhat new to Java, but not so much that I feel I should be having these issues--being new to Android is the bigger problem right now.The layout I'm trying to create should scroll in a sort of a "grid". I THINK what I'm looking for is the Gallery view, but I'm really lost as to how to implement it at the moment. I want it to "snap" to center the frame, like in the actual Gallery application.Essentially, if I had a photo gallery of 9 pictures, the idea is to scroll between them up/down AND side to side, in a 3x3 manner. Doesn't need to dynamically adjust, or anything like that, I just want a grid I can scroll through.I'm also not asking for anyone to give me explicit code for it--I'm trying to learn, more than anything. But pointing me in the right direction for helpful layout programming resources would be greatly appreciated, and confirming if it's a Gallery view I'm looking for would also be really helpful.EDIT: To clarify, the goal is to have ONE item on screen at a time. If you scroll between one item and the next, the previous one leaves the screen, and the new one snaps into place. So if it were a photo gallery, each spot on the grid would take up the entire screen size, approximately, and would be flung out of the viewable area when you slide across to the next photo, in either direction. (Photos are just an example for illustration purposes)
