If I draw a round rect shape by code I can use setShadowLayer to get a shadow drawn for the shape. Is there an equivalent when defining shapes in XML?The following example draws a round rect background to a shape. What would I need to add to get a shadow added to the shape? Is it even possible using XML? Code...

What can I do with the "shadow layer" of the the google maps overlays? I tried, naively, to draw something (an arc) only when (shadow == true) and got nothing? I'm interested in drawing arcs and arc shadows on a map. is there a nice google-maps way to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk so I know many are having battery issues. You, like me, probably have more battery life than you think. This is because the application layer of the phone is not receiving the hardware layer's data correctly (hold talk button, end call button, and middle button upon starting up your turned-off phone, this boots in test mode which shows you hardware layer battery power, aka the correct battery life estimate). It's causing another problem because some applications can't be run when the phone THINKS it's about to die.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build a layout where some shapes will popup every 2 seconds. If the user will click one of these shapes, they have to disappear.
What is the correct way of doing this? I thought about a thread, but i missed out.
Here's my code at the moment (is not working):
CODE:..................
I've been looking around for this for a long time but can never seem to find it in the Android documentation. There's all sorts of advanced things I see, but I can never find any solid documentation - there's the shapes package, but it provides no insight on how to use them in xml. The best I can do so far is finding other people's examples.
Is there some magical documentation that exists for the XML shapes?
I am very new to android development and have been trying to draw a square comprised of multiple smaller rectangles of different colours... Like a Mosaic essentially. Basically at the moment I am reading values from a file which assigns the colour to the smaller Rects. I am using a pair of nested for loops to try to draw the small Rects sequentially, line by line. However when the program finishes there is only one small Rect drawn which is the last one to be drawn and its colour corresponds to the first value read from the file. Here is some of my code to show you what I mean:
public SnapshotDraw(Context context) {
super(context);
for(int a = 0; a < 63; a++){
for(int b = 0; b < 63; b++){
fileName = PREFIX + "2" + EXTENSION;..............
I've tried casting shadow following this tutorial (which uses Stencil Buffer method): http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=27 The result is a cool shadow effect. But it depends too much on geometry and thus not very flexible. Then I found a much easier way to do shadowing here: http://www.paulsprojects.net/tutorials/smt/smt.html But it uses ARB_depth_texture and ARB_shadow extension. So I bet it can't be used with Android's OpenGL ES 1.0. I've tried googling for "Shadow Mapping" and "OpenGL ES" but still can't find a good tutorial. Can anyone recommend me a good place/site I can study for this please?

I'm trying to give my first steps on working with ActivityGroups. To be more specific, I have a parent activity with a layout containing several buttons, and another layout below them in order to add other activities' layouts by means of the "addView()" method. Well, everything works fine in functionality terms; but I'm experiencing a weird behavior inside the layout where other activities are kind of loaded into. A black line along the top border of the layout plus a slight shadow do appear when I run the application on the emulator. I have tried to play changing the paddings, margins, etc. with no success.
Has any of you experienced such weird behavior?

I have an activity. It does not have a title bar. The content view is just a linear layout. It looks like android draws a drop shadow at the top of my content view, directly below the status bar. Is there a way to stop that from being drawn?
My layout is just:
I have no titlebar:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

However, the shadow is shown as solid gray.
What am I doing wrong?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a GIS layer, that holds information about some areas. It is basically a rating for a specic area. So each shape defines a specific rating. I would like to be able to add this layer to Google Maps and then in my Google Android phone be able to open a little application that just shows that rating based on your current location as a big number on the screen. I am fairly new to Android development, so I don't know the Google Maps API that well yet. I would be very happy for any pointers in the right direction and even happier if anyone could present an example.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI dont know wether this is the right place to post this, but I had a great idea for a implementation of Contacts within google maps. Maybe it is already possible or someone already is developing this, but here it is: Add a selectable Layer to the Google Maps on the Android system that integrates with the Contacts list and shows them in Google Maps. Only contacts with an adress can be shown in Maps and have to be in a certain format ofcourse. Also, you have entered a contact's adress information, from the Contact's menu with 'Call' and 'Text you should be able to use 'Navigate to', which is a Google Maps route from your current location to this person's house.
