Feb 18, 2010I want to read my cursor position so that, after a tap, I can convert the screen x,y coordinates to a Geopoint for distance calculations.I found a snippet to convert x,y coordinates to a Geopoint and probably could use Projection instead, but how do I input those screen x,y values in the first place? This is probably straightforward, but I'm confused.The class Cursor seems to be something different than what I need

Android :: How To Set Position Of Indicator Text?
Jan 31, 2010i'm trying to use TabHost and TabWidget in my Android application.The problem is that i do not want my tabs to be so tall (65px). However, if i set the layout_height of the TabWidget to e.g. 30px, i can't see the tab labels (indicator) on the tabs at all.Seems like there is a "minimum required" height for the TabWidget (65px?) and the indicator is positioned at the bottom of this 65px?Is there a way to adjust the positioning of the indicator?

View 17 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Moving Cursor Adapter Cursor Creation To Background Thread
Mar 29, 2010The structure of some of my activities is a simple ListView with a custom CursorAdapter. The cursor is created in onCreate() on the activity from a SQLite database. The problem is that querying the SQLite database can be quite slow at times with lots of data (and let's assume I've already optimized the sql query as much as possible). Because it occurs in onCreate() on the UI thread, I get ugly black screens when opening the activity, which sometimes turn into ANRs, on a slow phone like the G1. I want to load the cursor in a background and show "Loading.." on screen while doing so. I saw AsyncQueryHandler used extensively in the framework, but this seems a solution geared more towards Content Providers and not application-local SQLite databases. I then thought of trying to load the cursor in a background thread, but realize that this might be problematic, as the CursorAdapter should be instantiated in onCreate() and should take a cursor as a parameter. The latest thought I had was to instantiate an empty MatrixCursor in onCreate() and pass that to the cursor adapter, while kicking off a thread/TimerTask to query the database. Then, on database cursor load, call cursorAdapter.change Cursor to the properly filled cursor. This doesn't seem very elegant and seems quite wasteful, however.
View 10 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Get Original Index / Position Of Item Instead Of One Showing In Filtered Text
Mar 26, 2010I am creating a list .. the elements of the list are drawn from sqlite database .. I populate the list using ArrayList and ArrayAdapter ...upon clicking the items on the list I want to be able to fire an intent containing info about the item clicked ... info like the index number of the item .. using the method : onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int index, long arg)
I do get index of the item clicked . however it is of the list currently displayed . the problem comes when I do setFilterTextEnabled(true) , and on the app type in some text to to search some item ..and then click it ..rather than giving me the index of the item on the original list it gives me the index on filtered list..
following is the snippet of code:
myListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int index, long arg) {
Intent lyricsViewIntent = new Intent(iginga.this, LyricsPage.class);
lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("title", songList.get((int)arg).getTitle());
lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("id", songList.get((int)arg).getSongId());
startActivity(lyricsViewIntent);
}
});
myListView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
Is there any way I can get the original index /position of the item instead of the one showing in filtered text ...when filtered.
Android :: Drawing Word-wrapped Text At Arbitrary Position On A Canvas
Jan 16, 2010I believe I know the basics and have successfully published a nice graphical game (Tairu). I know about inflating an xml layout and instantiating views that work.
For my current project, I really just want something similar to the Windows 'DrawText' function where it will draw a bit of a text inside an arbitrary rectangle of the surface, and do word wrap within that rectangles boundaries. That's what I really WANT, but I can't find any form of drawText that will wrap.
So, while that's what I WANT, I can accept the thought of programmatically instantiating a TextView (which wraps beautifully). But I still need to be able to provide the rectangle, which is highly dynamic. (which is why I want to call a form of drawText inside of my onDraw method). In this particular case, I have something which is static to a particular view instance (I mean, the View becomes visible, the position is set, and does not change after that. but the text position is dependent on game state and cannot be pre-determined inside an XML layout). So in this one case, I could afford the expense of runtime recalculation of the layout when the view is displayed.
OK, fine. So I do something like this:
CODE:......
Pretend you didn't see 'AbsoluteLayout' there, I am desperate and have tried all possible layout classes
main_frame is defined in my main XML layout (it is the outermost layout, fills the parent, and, as I said, I've tried all the offered layouts)
With this code, the textView appears, but along the top of the layout, and not using the width I provided either.
Adding, out of desperation.
CODE:.......
makes no difference. In fact, so far, NOTHING has made any difference. So I thought, ok, while this seems like a useful thing to be able to do, I can accept if it can't. I accept that it is impossible to provide dimensions in advance and that you have to override the measure and layout callbacks then requestLayout and in your overrides, force the final layout for the TextView.
Of course, that is completely unacceptable for my FIRST desire (a drawText that wraps to a rectangle, called from onDraw as needed). But the point is I feel something like that OUGHT to work, and it doesn't, so clearly this is MY fault.
Getting back to what I WANT, I guess I can do it myself by repeated calls to measure text and parsing the string for spaces until I get the N characters which fit on the first line, then repeat for additional lines, calling a normal drawText for each line (and using textMetrics to determine the vertical offset to the next line.)
But why wouldn't that method already exist? I promise not to fill the screen with a zillion calls, and/or to cache pre-rendered text on some bitmap somewhere if antialiased drawText is too expensive to repeat frequently.

Android :: Join ContentResolver Cursor With A Database Cursor
Mar 21, 2010I get records from the system by quering a ContentResolver. I maintain the order of the items in the database. So I want to display the items in the order taken from my database.
How do I merge these two informations?
I am looking after an alternative way now. As what I ideally want is:
Get order of contacts by a custom order held in my database (this involves joining CR with my DB cursor, and doing an order by, later seams it's not possible with CursorJoiner) but there is more, if the join is not unique I want to sort by contact's name as last measure
Which is impossible using Cursor and Joiners, because of the missing feature of order bys, also I need to return a Cursor, as I will be using the in an ExpandableList
Also this translated to TSQL it would look like
select * from contactsdata
left join category on contactsdata.catid=category.id
order by category.pos asc, contact.display_name asc
So I am looking now after an alternative. I have in mind to load in a temporary DB table all data from CR, then do the query on the temporary table where I can join tables and do order bys? How does this sound to you?

Final track pad question- do you use it? The battery- with moderate to heavy use will it ALWAYS last a long day 7-11 for example? Hows the froyo update, is sense still as smooth as ever?
Motorola Droid :: Software Keyboard - Move Cursor Around Text
Nov 12, 2010I use the hardware keyboard exclusively, but am wanting to use the software keyboard more, figuring that my next phone may only have that. My real problem is figuring out how to move the cursor around in the text. If I want to go back and edit using the hardware keyboard, I just use the d-pad to move back to the spot I need. How do I do that with the software keyboard? Am I forced to tap the screen (which never chooses where I want it, and I have to key pecking at it to get it in the right place)?

The only suggestion I was given was to "swipe" the cursor over to where I wanted it, which turns into a series of moves that have the cursor jumping all over the place. Are there no equivalents to the "cursor arrows" that let you move the cursor up, right & left?
Does anyone have a better way?
