View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the ApiDemos, there is a view example called Gallery1 which declares a custom style in attrs.xml.I want to do the same thing for my widgets, but using a different namespace. However, as soon as I replace the android: namespace with something else,Unable to find attribute? Why does it look for an attribute I am about to declare? Isn't the point of this file to be able to name your own custom attributes?It's interesting to note that it works if you do not supply a custom namespace, but just an attribute name.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that targets the 1.5 framework and uses the default light theme. When using a tab widget with this theme, the tab images are barely visible, and the tab captions are quite impossible to discern, except for the currently active tab.In the default dark theme these tabs come through quite clearly, but this is not a solution I'd be very happy with. Is there a simple setting I can set, that sets up the tab widget for better visibility in light themes, or would I have to tamper with images and text styles manually?

As the title, I want close the TabWidget where some tab is selected.
I have a little problem, I'm doing landscape layouts and I can't resize the Tabs, which are huge like on this .

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my layout xml, I have: <TabHost android:id="@+id/tabhost" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TabWidget android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TabHost>
My question is how can I get a reference to TabWidget object. I tried this: mTabWidget = (TabWidget) findViewById(com.android.internal.R.id.tabs); but this won't compile since 'com.android.internal.R is not visible. And then I try change the id to android:id="@+id/tabs" but I get a run time error saying: "Your TabHost must have a TabWidget whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.tabs'"
I'm writing an android program in which I have an activity that uses tabs.Anybody have any idea how I can get this content into a tab without crashing my application? My actual program is more complex and has more than one tab but I simplified it down to this in an attempt to find out why it's crashing but it still crashes and I don't know why.If I don't use LayoutInflator my program doesn't crash but I don't get any content either, just tabs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know what I did but for a period of time my TabWidget had white colored tabs which looked really nice. I never set a theme or background/foreground color in my project at all. The next time I compiled it it reverted back to the gray tabs. My application is using the default dark theme. Even if I set the application theme to light, the tabs are still gray. So obviously it was something else that changed the tabs' color. Anyone know how to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving just moved to an Android 2.1u1 HTC Desire from an Android 1.5 HTC Hero, I've noticed that there a weird behaviour from TabWidget in that it shows a thick white line under the tabs instead of what I think it should do. Difficult to explain so here are two URLs: http://android.esstec.co.uk/images/how_it_should_be.png http://android.esstec.co.uk/images/what_it_is.png Initially the tabwidget looks like the first picture but when you do anything with it (change tabs for example), it looks like the second. These screenshots are from the Google provided API demos so I don't think it's my code, but I wanted to paste here before filing a bug. Anyone got any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems that Android is very buggy compared not only to the iPhone, but to pretty much any other software. It's not just minor bugs either - pretty much every developer will come across many serious bugs. Some examples:
- When you run the "sdk setup.exe", the very first thing that happens is that it informs you that it can't connect using https, so you have to change the options to use 'http' instead. This appears to be a bug in the .exe rather than any kind of user issue because the https url works fine in the browser and this error seems to affect everyone. Sure, it's trivial to work around (just do a google search and you figure it out in 5 seconds), but the user shouldn't have to do that. It makes it look unprofessional.
- When you view a TabWidget in the layout editor it crashes.
- Every time you run an app in the emulator, it starts off with the screen locked so you need to press the Menu key.
- Various socket bugs (or perhaps all the same bug) related to IOException not happening. Even something as simple as just trying to connect to a remote host that is not listening will cause it to hang instead of immediately returning an error.
All of these bugs have been logged for months (some by me, some by other people) with no indication of any fix.
At the moment I'm just using the emulator, but I'm wondering if the phones themselves are this buggy or if all the bugs are just in the development environment and emulator.
In my TabHost activity, I want to show an ImageView below the selected tab (the ImageView overlaps the tab content). What would be the best solution to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy employer is having me work on an android application with very specific UI requirements. Specifically, we need an interface that looks exactly like a TabWidget interface. However, having the tabs on the left hand side is an absolute must. We aren't going to be deploying this application to any android phones, its for an in house device, and as such don't have any problem violating any design considerations that the android platform might have.
We already have a working prototype that hacks together the functionality we need using a combination of focus listeners and list views. It isn't pretty, and we aren't very confident in it just yet, but it works for the time being.
What we'd really like is to throw all of our prototype UI code away in exchange for using the built in TabWidget. However, since TabWidget is hardcoded to only work with the tabs on top, this isn't really an option.
So, we are hoping that someone out there has a patch, or set of patches, or perhaps a custom class, that handles the TabWidget functionality with the tabs on the side instead?
The relevant code for the TabWidget is here: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/core/java/android/widget/TabWidget.java&q=android%20package:git://android.git.kernel.org%20lang:java%20tabwidget&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc
And the specific function that is hardcoded for being tabs on top is
CODE:.......................
For Style and Thems defination, CSS is considered to be a better standard...(as it has seen many revisions and widely used already in the web areas).. Any reason, why Android using XML approach as opposed to CSS.. Are there any plans of support of CSS too in future..
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to enable different themes in my app. Some elements need "special" variations, like, for example, a headline TextView. Lets say for the example, in theme A, I want the headline yellow on black, in theme B red on white, while the default TextView uses black on white and vice versa.
Now, I can style the default TextView pretty easy by using <item name="android:textViewStyle"> with a different TextView style in each Theme style.
For example:
CODE:............
But how can I do it with the headline? As far as I know, I can use style="..." in the layout XML. But there, I can only use an item style like "headlineForBlack", which would ignore the current theme, while I'd rather need something like "style 'headline' for the current theme".
I have defined some attributes in my view and I can assign them like:
CODE:................
This works. But when I want to do the same thing with styles.xml:
CODE:.................
I get "No resource found that matches the given name".
Given a widget and a int that references a style (defined in my res/ values/style.xml), what is the 'correct' way to programmatically apply the style to the widget?
Up until now I've been hacking this by...

Where can I find default styles for my widgets? Let me give you an example. In the Contacts application, when adding a new contact, at the very bottom there are two buttons that have a particular background. I have traced that to here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Contacts.git;... and it would seem that that background is achieved by using style="@android:style/ButtonBar" on a LinearLayout. From what I understand, this is a system-wide theme default for button bars. However, what I am searching for is not a ButtonBar, but similar, so I tried searching for this ButtonBar in the documentation, hoping to find other similar styles I could use. I *thought* I would find it in R.style:[url]

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm supposed to develop an app which behave like that: The User starts the app and can select between different configurations. Depending on the selection there are different colors, drawables and strings (e.g. urls for webservice-calls) to display. All the code-stuff is the same.
My first intention to do so was themes.... - is it possible to include somehow strings in themes? - what shall I do with styles which are referenced in some layout-xml (which are the same for all configs) and should use different colors. can't define colors or styles multiple times and don't want to change that manually (when user selects by code).
Is it possible to display Css style tags in a text view..? The method Html.fromhtml() converts only html tags to a spanned string but not the Css styles
View 3 Replies View RelatedAn important part of creating an android application is making the gui look right. However where do I find documentation for this. An example of what I am looking for is something like this
style="@android:style/ButtonBar"
what other interesting styles does exist. The eclipse layout xml editor knows about some of the @android:style/'s but not this one. Where is all this documented?
I'm defining a style XML for my android app. I have some TTF files I want to use, how can I set the typeface to use those files as the font as opposed to the generic "sans", "serif" & "monospace".
