I have some problems finding the documentation of the definitions of shapes in XML for Android. I would like to define a simple circle filled with a solid color in an XML File to include it into my layout files.
Sadly the Documentation on android.com does not cover the XML attributes of the Shape classes. I think I should use an ArcShape to draw a circle but there is no explanation on how to set the size, the color, or the angle needed to make a circle out of an Arc.
I want to have a elmenent with a 2 color border outline. I can do a single color outline using the element, but this only allows me to draw a single line. I tried using 2 elements within my but that didnt work either. Is there a way to either draw a shape within a shape or draw 2 lines around my shape (which has rounded corners btw).

I even searched for it,but of no use. Any one help me, I need it very badly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an application using the SMS apis for android. The receiving end is an embedded unit that only supports 7-bit encoded SMS and the string I'm sending consists only of symbols from this particular alphabet which makes you think that Android is going to send it encoded as 7 bit. But that is not the case.Therefore I'm searching for a way to specify what encoding to use. See below for what my code looks like today. The method gsm7BitPackedToString turns a byte-array to a 7-bit string, i.e. the string only consists of 7-bit compatible characters and is copied from the internal android api. Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to define set values (i.e. 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) for the seekbar widget that enables the slider to "snap" to the nearest set value? For example instead of allowing the user to position the slider at an percentage through 0-100, instead the slider can only ever be positioned at one of the five set values? While were on the subject is there an easy solution for positioning the seekbar vertically, I'd rather not hack through the seekbar source code - but I fear I may have to!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a widget that can reads its attributes from an XML file onCreate. I've created a Custom Button that extends Button widget. I would like to define its layout and styling in an XML, such that the widget can be reused across different views, with the same styling attributes. The notepad sample code does carry some pointers to this problem, however, it defines a XML layout with the component as View, inside LinearLayout, which is not really what I'm trying to achieve here.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently exploring Broadcast Receivers and Broadcast Intent. There are some aspects of the tutorials which are ambiguous to me. To my knowledge this is how the process works. I can broadcast an intent from my application and any receiver on the phone can act on that intent as long as the actions match. I can register a broadcaster receiver on anything that extends Context and when I do so I must provide a filter which will allow the receiver to act on one or more intent actions.The part which confuses me is defining a receiver via the manifest. Must the name of said receiver match a class name? Why should I ever define an intent filter with an action in the project manifest if I always have to provide another intent filter when I register my receiver in code?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe android docs say that it adds the runnable to the queue and it runs in the UI thread. What does this mean? So, for example, the same thread I use to create my layout is used to run the Runnable? What if I want it as an independent thread that executes while I am creating my layout and defining my activity?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a shape that has border only on 3 sides: top, left and right, i.e. I want bottom to be open. How can I achieve that defining shape in XML? Currently I have a normal 4 side border using the following shape XML definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<solid android:color="#FFE8F0F8" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#808480" />
<padding android:left="1dp" android:top="1dp" android:right="1dp" android:bottom="1dp" /> </shape>
I've created a custom toolbar using a gradient inside a shape. It looks very nice, but since we only have the option for 3 colors (startColor, centerColor, endColor) it looks very round. I would like to do a glass effect, which requires a sharp change in color in the middle. Basically I need 4 colors (startColor, justabovecenterColor, justbelowcenterColor, endColor). Now I could have two shapes sitting on top of each other to get this effect, but I don't want to do this. I'm getting into some tricky UI customization here and that would be very difficult to manage on different sized screens.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw a rounded rectangle with a border around it using a class that extends ShapeDrawable (see here) and everything is working except that the shapedrawable seems to be cutting off some of the border because the shape itself doesn't extend outside those bounds. Is there not some way to offset where the shapedrawable starts drawing so that there is some padding between the bounds of the shape itself and the canvas? I have tried both ShapeDrawable.setBounds to larger than the intrinsic size of the shape and ShapeDrawable.setPadding but don't seem to be getting anywhere. Should I be subclassing Drawable instead?
