View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed a lot of Android functions have a parameter that you can pass in that's a bitmask, for different options, like on PendingIntent, you can pass in things like you can call getActivity() with PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT|PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE.
I'm wondering how I can create a function that has a parameter like this?
I did was use the search function and after 10 pages I could not see what I was looking for. In java, we use method parameters for a number of reasons but I've never used parameters in my methods unless I needed them..When defining a method in android for a button that I want to click, I had my method defined in XML under the Button element
[HIGH]androidnClick="showText"[/HIGH]
then, in my ProjectName.java file I defined the method
[HIGH]public void showText(View view){
}[/HIGH]
I was told that the View in the parameter is the view that was clicked.Button is a subclass of View as is TextView and since that is the case,is this the rule for just the onClick method? Also, why can I not pass the Button as a parameter? Button is the actual "View" being clicked, so why not Button?
Furthermore, are there other methods similar to this and if so, do they all follow the rule just like the View parameter, where let's say if I had a class called "A" and it had a subclass "B" and that class had a subclass "C", and if I wanted to use the onClick method, I can only pass the Highest Class as the parameter?
To simplify that, are there ever cases where I would pass anything else OTHER THAN "View" as the parameter to these methods?
I thought when you passed objects to methods in Java, they were supposed to be by value.
public class MyClass{
int mRows;
int mCols;
Tile mTiles[][]; //Custom class
//Constructor
public MyClass(Tile[][] tiles, int rows, int cols) {..........
At this point, any changes to the mTiles object are reflected back to the tiles object.
I'm testing some functions with Android, JNI and NDK. I have the following JAVA class:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class JNITest extends Activity {
private int contador;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */...........................
All the classes in Android that can be built using XML have constructors of the form:
Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle
What is the defstyle parameter?
I am trying to communicate between two Android applications. Application-A will send message/data to Application-B. After receiving message from Application-A, Application-B will send a reply message to Application-A. Is it possible in Android application? If yes please point me the APIs that can be used to achieve this.

In Eclipse, when I mouse hover over a built-in method, it displays a method definition including stuff like what the method does, input objects, return objects etc. If I have a yellow line (warning) under the method I'm trying to use, I can't get the mouse-over to show the definition. If I try hitting F3, I get a "The Jar of this class file belongs to container "Android 1.6" How do I show the definition of the method I am using when there is a warning?

I don't really understand why this exception happens, so I did some research about this and found the following: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
According to the above post, the issue once was resolved in Donut release, but some ppl say it still happens. Is there anyone who knows anything about this issue? As far as I understood, this issue shouldn't occur unless you intendedly call the method ViewGroup.offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords to get an exception.
My app is using Tab, which means it has a lot of views in it. (including view changes too.) I don't really call setContentView repeatedly in my app though. Someone in the above post said that calling setContentView several times can cause this issue, so I just wanted to make sure that my app is not the case.
I'm using eclipse to develop over android, i'm trying to connect to a .net webservice...when i'm calling a webmethod with no parameters it works fine... but when i come to pass a parameter to the webmethod things turn upside down... the parameter is passed as null (while debugging the webservice i discovered that) and i get a null from the webmethod in the client side code... i've been searching for a solution for a day now and all that i can interpreter is that people keep talking about encoding styles and such stuff.... i've tried it all but in vain. i'm using ksoap2 version 2.3 with the following code:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm building an android application, which has a list view, and in the list view, a click listener, containing an onItemClick method. So I have something like this:
public class myList extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
/* Do something*/
}
}
}
Normally, this works fine. However, many times I find myself needing too preform an application using the outer class as a context. thusfar, I've used: parent.getContext(); to do this, but I would like to know, is that a bad idea? I can't really call: because it's not really a subclass, just an embedded one. So is there any better way, or is that considered cosure? Also, if it is the right way, what should I do if the embedded method doesn't have a parameter to get the outside class?

I am wondering if the Location.distanceTo method will use the accuracy field of the Location object when approximates the location, or do I have to add by my own the errors to these fields. The usage is to compare the distance against a proximity value.
Float dist=currentLocation.distanceTo(loc2); Would this be if (dist<100meters) or
if (dist+currentLocation.getAccuracy()+loc2.getAccuracy()<100meters)
The preference type of UI is used in many Google built-in applications for example Bluetooth , Wifi etc. And the getView of the preference is used to set the image or text to make it visible in the UI screen.
the getView for the pref type UI is defined as below in framework code : ->
CODE:..............................
Where the convertView is not getting recycled and every time whenever the user is scrolling the list up and down, convertVIew comes out to be null.Therefore by logic inflation of the UI also happens all the time in onCreateView().This is a kind of shortcoming in terms of memory utilization , hence in a discussion (MAKE YOUR UI FAST AND EFFICIENT) where Romain Guy has mentioned about the tricks to increase the app performance doesn't hold good for preference type of UI.
