I have a preference where I'd like to toggle the state of a preference depending on the state of a checkbox. This works wonderfully if I want something visible when it's checked.However I want another preference to be visible when it's NOT checked.Is there a way to specify "android:dependency= !"pref_server_active" or android:dependency= NOT("pref_server_active") ?

Is there XML attribute that does the exact opposite of android:dependency? What I would like the dependent preference to be enabled when the other is not checked and disabled when it is checked. Maybe the issue isn't with android:dependency maybe there is an xml attribute that I can add to make the default for that preference disabled and then android:dependency will toggle it the opposite way like I want. I tried setting android:enabled="false" in the preference and it disables it like I want but even with it being dependent on the other preference it didn't enable it like I had hoped.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a module called MyApp, and another module called MyAppTests which has a dependency on MyApp. Both modules produce APKs, one named MyApp.apk and the other MyAppTests.apk.I normally build these in IntelliJ or Eclipse, but I'd like to create an ant buildfile for them for the purpose of continuous integration.I used "android update" to create a buildfile for MyApp, and thanks to commonsware's answer to my previous question I've been able to build it successfully using ant.I'd now like to build MyAppTests.apk using ant. I constructed the buildfile as before using "android update", but when I run it I get an error indicating that it's not finding any of the classes in MyApp.Taking a que from my previous question, I tried putting MyApp.apk into my MyAppTests/libs, but unfortunately that didn't miraculously solve the problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a and Android project and its test project. I can run tests successfully in the emulator. As the Android project has dependencies on a third library project, I want to use classes of the third project in the test cases too. For this, I need to add a dependency from the test project to the third project as well. Compile-time this works, but when I do a remote run of my AndroidTestCase, all tests fail. For each test, I get a NoClassDefFoundError, but not for third project classes, but for a class in the Android project itself!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to share data between 2 applications. the idea is both applications can write and read the SAME data and there is no dependency which one of the apps is installed or first created the data. I have 2 version of the same app: regular and premium and I don't know which of them will be first installed and both of them can change it.I tried to use ContentProvider but the problem is that only the first app can create the Provider and when it is uninstalled it deletes that custom Provider. I want the Content to be kept for the second app. Also, I tried to use Settings.System which keeps the data regardless if the application is installed or not but I don't want to use the permission for that (it is very problematic from user perspective). BTW, it seems that I can change ANY of the Settings.System which is not secured from Android OS perspective - but this is a subject for other post.

And I was wondering is it possible for me to then use this preference in code so I can update it via downloading an xml file? So I currently display the above preference in a PreferenceActivity, which works fine, however I want to be able to update the setting by downloading a new setting every week from the internet. So my question is how do I open this preference in code and set its value to the new downloaded value?
I have an Android application in which I have my preferences in a xml file, which works fine. I've now want to set one of the preferences using code instead of displaying the entire preference screen, how would I go about doing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have pretty unassuming preferences screen based on Preference Activity. (You can see it in DroidIn app) I'm having some problems with it that I think have to do with redrawing the screen after updates. Here are the symptoms: 1. OnPreferenceChangeListener#onPreferenceChange if I change summary of the preference by doing Preference#setSummary the new value is painted over the old one creating unsightly effect 2. My preferences screen is large enough that user has to scroll. While scrolling, the whole screen get all messed up, again it looks like view is redrawn (when scrolled) without erasing the background first.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPreferenceManager contains very useful methods like "registerOnActivityResultListener" which enables you to call startActivityForResult in your custom preference like RingtonePreference does but it's restricted at the package level.So tell me, let's say I wanted a ImagePreference.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is my first Android app (which is a soft keyboard, with dvorak layout) and so far it has gone pretty smoothly (either because or despite working from the sample code). I've had some problems (with special/swedish characters) that I've managed to take care of, but this problem I can't figure out how to solve..
But when I click the list item to edit it, i get an empty dialog (Title and button is shown right and with the text I set in the xml- file, but no list, screenshot: http://i49.tinypic.com/2501p55.png ). I can't see any problem with the program code (which isn't many lines..) or the xml (the arrays are generated by the Android utils in Eclipse and the preferences is a mix of auto and manual). You can see both Java code and XML here: http://pastebin.com/m4c52c3a2 (titles etc in Swedish..) (I've also tried a EditTextPreference item, which seemed to work fine..) I have also looked at the log/output using adb, and can't see any problems there either, so I have no idea onto how to solve this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I create preference activity I define all preferences in xml file. Every preference has a key defined in this xml. But when I access preference I write:
SharedPreferences appPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
boolean foo_value = appPreferences.getBoolean("foo_key_defined_in_xml", false);
Is there any way to avoid referencing "foo_key_defined_in_xml" in hard-coded way? Maybe there is a possibility to reference it in R style way (not to refer to string)?
How do you get the default value of an Android preference defined in XML?
Context: I don't want to repeat the definition of the default value in both the code and the preferences XML.
For my private static final String PREFS_NAME = "mypref"; does the PREFS_NAME have to be unique for every application? Or can I use the same one over and over.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a preferences.xml that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When I do sp.getString("sample", "3.0"), it works fine and returns a string, but it shouldn't be a string, it should be a float. Running sp.getFloat("sample", 3.0f) throws a ClassCastException because it is a string. What should I put in the XML so that the preference is stored as a float?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere is know problem in all the Android phones. Go to Bluetooth Settings->Turn ON bluetooth->Click on bluetooth discovery->Then timer will start in summary->Long press on Bluetooth device discovery-> observe Bluetooth ON/OFF title start to toggle with Bluetooth Discovery toggle. I analyzed the issue. Blueooth ON/OFF is CheckBoxPreference. Bluetooth Discovery is also CheckBoxPreference which has dependency on Bluetooth ON/OFF. When we click on Bluetooth discovery then On thread will run at every second to update summary in Bluetooth Discovery preference. When we change the Bluetooth discovery to OFF then thread will be removed/ killed. When i press the Bluetooth discovery for long time when its already in ON State then still the thread will be updating the summary (remaining time from 120 to 00) till i press it. When i leave the Thread will stop. As it has dependency on Bluetooth ON/OFF, its making to the title invisible. But it should not happen. Solution: When i touch the Device Discovery i should kill the update summary thread then i guess, that problem will be solved. But in prefence i dont have any listener to know the pressed state. I hope somebody can give me solution.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm starting to dip my toes into LocationManager. I've created a service which tracks GPS location (interval is more than 60000ms) and updates my application with user location so they can find stuff nearby. As I understand it, users can go into their preferences and disable GPS for a particular application. I would essentially like to offer my users two modes.
1) GPS. 2) If GPS can not pull, device does not have a GPS chip, or GPS is turned off for my app, I would like to allow them to type in their zip code (or maybe switch to cell tower lookup).
The bold text is what I'm interested in. How can I tell if the device does not have GPS? How can I tell if the user has disabled GPS for my application?
Side question: My service gets launched from my 2nd Activity. I call stopService in the onDestroy method of this Activity. If I back up to my 1st Activity and the 2nd Activity is destroyed, I still notice the GPS icon on my phone running. Is stopping the service sufficient? Or do I need to stop the LocationManager in the onDestroy of the service?
I have a intent receiver in my android manifest, but would like to give the user the opportunity to choose whether he/her wants the app to automatically start at the specific state. Until now, I've used a service with a broadcast receiver, but I really want to delete this service as it seems a bit unnecessary.
Can register the intent action only if the user wants it (I guess not)? If not, should I make a class that will be called every time the intent is received and checks the user's preference or should I keep the service?
If I can modify the checkbox preference in order to inverse the direction from left to right to right to left.
