In my app is the ability to read a file.
This works perfectly, but there's a problem.
No line breaks or whatever they are called get added when I append the file's contents to my big EditText, so this:code...
How can I stop this and make it appear in the EditText as it appears in the file?

I upgraded my project from 1.0 to 1.5.
I found the function setText is no longer working in 1.5. Does any one knows why?

I'm attempting Google University Android lab1 you are asked to change a TextView's text content according to the value passed via the Intent from another activity.
I tried out the rest of my code but...why does my app force close when I add the "tv.settext(...) line"?
CODE:...................
I have an android app I am just experimenting things on and I cannot seem to figure out why my app force closes when I update a TextView via a while loop. When I comment out the updateText method it runs fine.
CODE:....................
I'm coding an audio player where a thread updates the TextView representing the track's elapsed time, every 250 milliseconds. The display looks like this:
1:30/2:30<-----Progress Bar----->
TextView 1 is 1:30/ and TextView 2 is 2:30.
Both are set to wrap_content for width.
What happens is that on every 250 millisecond cycle, the thread checks the current time and updates TextView 1. For this brief moment, TextView 2 and the progress bar get pushed momentarily to the right by about 2-4 pixels. Then they come back to place until the same thing happens during the next cycle. I don't know what's happening. There are no trailing space characters, etc and everything should, theoretically, be working smoothly but it's not.
On Android 1.5, using the Allocation Tracker I see that every time I call TextView.setText() with a StringBuilder as first argument, a String gets allocated from the following call stack (first line is last call):
java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder toString java.lang.StringBuilder toString android.text.TextUtils stringOrSpannedString android.widget.TextView setText
I tried specifying the buffer type with setText(strBuilder, TextView.BufferType.NORMAL) but it doesn't change anything.
Is there a way to avoid this allocation?
I've searched using a couple of the above keywords and found nothing.Basically I have a layout with a few textview elements a few edittext elements and a few buttons. In the java any incorrect entries by the user in the edittext elements should change a textview element which acts as user instructions to prompt the user to make corrections, the problem is it actually changes one of the button texts. Here is the code for the layout (activity_main.xml):
Code:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="@+id/button4"
android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
android:background="@color/yellow"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
android:textColor="@color/red" />
[code]..
I know this worked as intended when I only had buttons 1-3, but adding 4 and 5 seems to have started something odd, I can't see anything wrong so am guessing this is a stupid mistake on my part. For reference it is button4 which has it's text changed by the java code. My only thought was that this was something more complicated caused by relative layout and inheritence.
I've got this odd problem which is happening on 1.6, 2.2, and a MyTouch 3G Slide (which is API #7, and listed as "2.1-Update1" in the Android Device Chooser). If anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong & how to fix it (or possibly confirm that this is an Android bug)The basic idea for my app is to make a stopwatch-sort of thing, in that the user can tap a button to start a timer, then tap it again to stop (pause) the timer; further taps alternate between resuming the timer and pausing the timer.I've got a top-level ScrollView which contains a RelativelLayout, which contains a bunch of widgets. The first widget is a HUGE button (so that it's easy to press), which pushes all my other widgets below the bottom of the screen. This is intentional, as I want to rely on the ScrollView (and an on-screen reminder to the user) to make the rest of the input options available.I've got a simple state-machine type setup, where mState is the current mode (STATE_ TIMER_ NOT_ STARTED before the user presses any buttons, RUNNING after the first press, and then PAUSED after the second, back to RUNNING after the third, etc, etc).
All this works great EXCEPT that when the timer is running, and the user presses the start/stop/resume button again, the ScrollView will scroll down a ways. I am NOT issuing this command (I don't even have a reference to ScrollView object), and I'm not sure why it's doing this.
REPRO:Compile + run the below samples. When the app starts, press the 'Start Timing' button. Use your thumb (or the mouse) to touch-drag the screen upwards (so you can see the RatingBar), then drag it back downwards (so the button is again completely on-screen). Tap the button (which now reads 'PauseTiming') again, and it'll jump down a bit. It should NOT be jumping/scrolling down, since there's no statement (that I can see) that tells it to scroll down. As near as I can tell, it's the setText that causes the scrolling ( when I comment those lines out, no scrolling occurs).WHAT I'M ASKING FOR:if I'm doing something dumb & you could point out what it is, I'd really appreciate it! I wonder if 'touch mode' might have something to do with this, since it does NOT appear to happen (in the emulator) when I use the mouse's scroll wheel to move the panel upwards (i.e.,instead of the simulated finger-dragging). I can't find a whole lot on touch-mode, and nothing specific on focus/selection in touch mode within a ScrollView if you can confirm that this error occurs for you too, that would be ok, too (since misery loves company.AHEM I mean, since it might help confirm that it's not just me MyTestApp.java package bug.android.scrollview;

UPDATE 1: Adding if( btnStartStopResume.isInTouchMode() )
Toast.makeText(this, "TOUCH MODE", 2000);
elseToast.makeText(this, "NOT touch mode", 2000);
then setting breakpoints in the debugger confirms that the button is always in touch mode (regardless of whether I finger-drag the panel up/down, or mouse-wheel it up/down). So it's a combination of being in touch-mode AND finger-dragging the panel after the 2nd button-press (i.e, when the app is in 'stopped/paused timing' mode) that's causing the odd extra-timing in subsequent pauses.
UPDATE 2:
I just noticed that it's scrolling down to the EditText, and no further. It looks like when you move the panel down the EditText gets the selection, and after the click event the ScrollView scrolls back to the thing that has the selection. Seems to explain why the mouse-wheel approach doesn't have this problem (it moves the selection/focus back up to the button).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI consider myself an Android developer, after having created four apps and learned a lot by creating them. Now I've begun my venture into the iPhone app development world, and I don't remember the Android learning curve being this extreme. It doesn't help, though, that I was very familiar with Java and Eclipse whereas I hardly even know how to use OS X. I learn fast and I know exactly what I want to make, I just need the means to get there. I'm really floundering with Xcode and the new project templates (of which there are several, and I hardly know what they mean). I know there are many books and things out there for starting from scratch but I feel like my Android knowledge should count for something. Is there a good resource for learning the basics of iPhone development, given that I am quite familiar with the Android platform? I'm looking for anything that converts Android knowledge to iPhone knowledge; a table of UI element names in each platform, or of concept equivalents, or a compare/contrast of the frameworks involved, or anything that will increase the rate of learning given that I know the Android platform already.
