Android :: Expanding The Status Bar
Oct 1, 2010
I am creating an android app, and in the app I would like to have a button that expands the status bar. When I was thinking up the design for the app it seemed like a simple task like that would be, well, simple. But I come to find out that the StatusBarManager is not part of the public API? I can now not add functionality to an app that is clearly available just not in the public api. Is there another abstract way of expanding the status bar?

For good usability in an app that I'm developing I would like to expand the status bar to show the user the first time that there is more information to be found on the expanded status bar. (The user will run several apps at the same time, and background services will post notifications. The expanded notifications link back to several the apps/activities that the user is running. )
I've been searching for a while now, but the only thing I could find was: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.ht....
I'm looking for a code example on how to expand the status bar.

My scenario is like this:
CODE:........
The problem I have is that I can't get my ListView to get the right height that I want. I'll add a couple of components with my custom BaseAdapter class and everything there works as intended. But when i then debug my application i can only see 1,5 out of 3 components in the list and the rest is hidden futher down in the ListView. But how can i make my ListView calculate how many components i have and get it to show all my components direcly without having too scroll down.
Another thought is if i could populate any other kind of View with my BaseAdapter? Because the only reason I'am using ListView is because of the setAdapter() method.

On a relatively new emulator image (AVD) I have about 40mb of free space. How can I expand this? I tried setting the disk.cachePartition.size option, but it didn't seem to have any effect.Just to be clear.I'm talking about the "Internal phone storage" size, not the SD Card size.

I have a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView that has android:layout_height="fill_parent", but it doesn't expand to the full height of the ScrollView. My layout looks something like:
CODE:........
I can see that the LinearLayout doesn't expand the full height of the ScrollView because in Eclipse in Android Layout Editor, if I select the ScrollView (in the Outline panel) it is highlighted with a red border that fills the screen to the bottom but when I select the LinearLayout its highlight doesn't expand to the bottom of the screen. How can I get it to do so?
The effect I'm trying to achieve is to have some text and a button below it (inside the LinearLayout in level 4 there's just a button). The text can be big enough to need a scrollbar, in which case I want the user to have to scroll down in order to see the button. In case the text is not big enough for a scroll bar, I want the LinearLayout containing the button to stick to the bottom of the screen.
At first I thought I shouldn't post the full XML because it's usually a turn-down to see a huge chunk of code in a question. However, it seems it might be necessary, so here's the full layout.
CODE:........
At the moment I have resorted to android:layout_gravity="bottom" on the problematic LinearLayout, which makes the button stick to the bottom of the screen no matter what. But that also makes the text stick to the bottom of the screen, which is not exactly what I was after.
Update: scratch that, android:layout_gravity="bottom" makes the ScrollView unable to, well, scroll.

This should be a very simple thing, but it's driving me crazy and currently one of the older bugs of my app. Given an ExpandableListView I want to collapse all the groups but the last one and expand the last one. The code below doesn't work (basically seems to do things at random).

I can draw overlay items onto google maps just fine, an image that looks like:
_____
| |
______
/
Where the "/" part is the "pin" that marks the lat/lon on the map and a picture in the middle of it. My question is, is there any way to expand this when the user clicks on it? I'll of course have to change this to some kind of dialog or layout and change it when it gets clicked.
I want to have it smaller like that with just an image when not clicked on, but when it is clicked on it expands over like a second to:
--------------------------------------
| <image> <buttons> |
| <buttons> |
| <some info here> |
| |
--------------------------------------
/
Is this possible?

I'm developing a small application in with a list view filled with a compound component. This component has two text view and one button inside. One of the text view is invisible and when the button is clicked it should appear. I can show the list but i can't make the textview visible when the button is clicked. Here is the xml of the component: And this is the ArrayAdapter that fills the list:
public class AddressAdapter extends ArrayAdapter { int resource;
RelativeLayout placeView;
EditText addressText;
public AddressAdapter(Context _context, int _resource, List _items) {
super(_context, _resource, _items);
resource = _resource;
} private OnClickListener buttonClick = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick (View v) {
int i = placeView.findViewById(R.id.stub_import).getVisibility();
visibility(i);
} };
private void visibility(int i) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub switch(i) {
case(View.GONE): { addressText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} case(View.VISIBLE): { addressText.setVisibility(View.GONE);
} } }
@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Item item = getItem(position);
String name = item.getName();
String address = item.getAddress();
if (convertView == null) {
placeView = new RelativeLayout(getContext());
String inflater = Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE;
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(inflater);
vi.inflate(resource, placeView, true);
} else { placeView = (RelativeLayout) convertView;
} TextView nameText = (TextView)placeView.findViewById(R.id.placeNamwView);
Button button = (Button)placeView.findViewById(R.id.Button01);
addressText = (EditText)placeView.findViewById(R.id.placeAddressText);
button.setOnClickListener(buttonClick);
nameText.setText(name);
addressText.setText(address);
return placeView;
} }

The Hero's native weather widget contains a pretty limited number of cities. On my old WinMo phone, there was a way to expand the database of cities by modifying some Manila files. Is there a similar course of action for Android phones? I perused the files on the Hero (ROM and SD) but didn't see any obvious candidates to change.

Looking at greatly expanding my SD storage. It is clear that the Sprint Hero requires an SD device that meets the SD 2.0 specification. That is a given.
The question I have is about SD speed (class) and size (up to 32GB max).
I am wondering if there is noticable speed difference between Class 2 and Class 6 cards on internal or external transfers? Where do we see any difference? Internal - such as photo or file transfers between folders on the card? External - file transfers to and from the SD card set up as a USB device?
Then the possible variable (if it is) of card size? I am still running the stock 2GB card that came with my Hero. I want to go to 16GB. Does "size matter"? ---
Anybody run any experiments to measure speed and function? Photos, files, etc?

My parents have recently started using a Samsung Galaxy tablet. I believe it is a tab 1. They have created a gmail account for their email and are getting on fine with the gmail app except that they can't figure out how to access the earlier conversations that are grouped together in a thread. I'm an Apple MacBook user. I have googled 'expand conversations.

A couple of weeks ago I kept getting a low disc space error message on my Droid (the original). I have already moved everything I can to the SD card with App 2 SD Pro and I haven't loaded any new software to the internal hard drive, but I still had to delete a program to free up space.
Two days ago I started getting the message again, and I haven't installed anything. But I think several system programs have updated and gotten bigger. I've had to take off more programs to free space.
Is this normal, or is there a problem? I've cleared up any caches that I can get to without rooting the phone, but I'm starting to think I need to do that. I never use the Facebook app and it eats a lot of space, but I can't delete it without rooting.

I finally upgraded to android, i got the cheapest phone possible(kyocera milano) which seems to be a mistake. The phone has only about 300mb internal storage and can barely handle its own updates(because of the limited storage). so i would like to know if its possible to make the phone "think" that some of the sd card is part of its internal memory? I found an adb driver for it(dont ask me where or which one because i had no idea and started messing with one until it worked) i have not tried rooting but can if i need to.

Notifications are displayed in status bar.Any thing, which appears to user in android is an activity. Thus can i assume status bar as an activity. Because user can see it. In that case there are always two activities in running mode ,one is home or any user activity and another is status bar activity. If that is the case we should have two activity stacks in android system one for status bar and another for home activity or any user activity. In my observation whenever a notification is received my running activity is not disturbed.And even it is not found in activity stack. Finally what i want to ask is can assume that there are two activity stacks in andriod system.

I am with first Droid phone. I have had an HTC Desire for approximately 1 week and absolutely love it. When I first got the phone, the connectivity was always H in the status bar, with very good I-net speed. For some reason, unbeknown to me, it is now a G, sometimes a 3G. The speed is still quite good though. This 'change' would appear to have been since I received a text from T-Mobile (I'm aware of the 'G' issues on their forums) alongwith the lines. They hoped I liked their new webpage. Now they have reverted to the original webpage I may have to re-load my favorites. I have not had to do this, thankfully. Under Wireless & Networks, WiFi is off, as I am on an 'unlimited' 3GB plan, and I am using GSM/WCDMA auto under Preferred network mode.
Questions: -
1. What is the difference between the three, namely H, 3G and G?
2. Which is quicker?
2. Can I change it back to H, if I wanted, as I believe it was quicker?
4. Sometimes, although not very often, the G, 3G and H disappear altogether and I am left with no connectivity at all. However, if I try to access the I-net, I can, and either the G, 3G or H appear again miraculously. Is there a particular reason for this?
Hope to hear from you experts soon and apologies for such basic questions, as I'm still getting used to using a droid. My last phone was a Nokia N95 2GB. Huge difference!

Is there a way to have one status bar icon, but multiple entries in the notification pull down? I need to generate a few notifications that each trigger a different action when clicked, but I don't want to fill the status bar with useless icons in the process. Being able to create a notification without an icon at all would work too.
