View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a custom widget which looks lick HTML table. I chose to derive from TableLayout, which is the subclass of ViewGroup and View. What's confusing me is that the drawing I put into my override of View.onDraw did not take effect, until I moved the codes to the override of ViewGroup.dispatchDraw. I know dispatchDraw is a good place to draw something, but I'm just wondering why there's such difference in my practice?

I'm trying to build a custom clock view in Android. See image http://twitpic.com/1devk7.So far to draw the time and hour markers I have been using the Canvas.rotate method to get the desired effect. However, notice that it is difficult to interpret the numbers in the lower half of the clock (e.g. 6 or 9?) because of the angle in which they are drawn.When using drawText, is it possible to draw the text at 45/90/180 degrees so that all text appears upright when my onDraw method has finished?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI believe I know the basics and have successfully published a nice graphical game (Tairu). I know about inflating an xml layout and instantiating views that work.
For my current project, I really just want something similar to the Windows 'DrawText' function where it will draw a bit of a text inside an arbitrary rectangle of the surface, and do word wrap within that rectangles boundaries. That's what I really WANT, but I can't find any form of drawText that will wrap.
So, while that's what I WANT, I can accept the thought of programmatically instantiating a TextView (which wraps beautifully). But I still need to be able to provide the rectangle, which is highly dynamic. (which is why I want to call a form of drawText inside of my onDraw method). In this particular case, I have something which is static to a particular view instance (I mean, the View becomes visible, the position is set, and does not change after that. but the text position is dependent on game state and cannot be pre-determined inside an XML layout). So in this one case, I could afford the expense of runtime recalculation of the layout when the view is displayed.
OK, fine. So I do something like this:
CODE:......
Pretend you didn't see 'AbsoluteLayout' there, I am desperate and have tried all possible layout classes
main_frame is defined in my main XML layout (it is the outermost layout, fills the parent, and, as I said, I've tried all the offered layouts)
With this code, the textView appears, but along the top of the layout, and not using the width I provided either.
Adding, out of desperation.
CODE:.......
makes no difference. In fact, so far, NOTHING has made any difference. So I thought, ok, while this seems like a useful thing to be able to do, I can accept if it can't. I accept that it is impossible to provide dimensions in advance and that you have to override the measure and layout callbacks then requestLayout and in your overrides, force the final layout for the TextView.
Of course, that is completely unacceptable for my FIRST desire (a drawText that wraps to a rectangle, called from onDraw as needed). But the point is I feel something like that OUGHT to work, and it doesn't, so clearly this is MY fault.
Getting back to what I WANT, I guess I can do it myself by repeated calls to measure text and parsing the string for spaces until I get the N characters which fit on the first line, then repeat for additional lines, calling a normal drawText for each line (and using textMetrics to determine the vertical offset to the next line.)
But why wouldn't that method already exist? I promise not to fill the screen with a zillion calls, and/or to cache pre-rendered text on some bitmap somewhere if antialiased drawText is too expensive to repeat frequently.
How do you get the text of a TextView to be Justified (with text flush on the left- and right- hand sides)?
I found a possible solution here, but it does not work (even if you change vertical-center to center_vertical, etc).

If it's in constructor getMesured return 0; if it's in the onSizeChanged - measurements are calculating but TextView after set text have measurements too small to fit the text. If i put set text in a thread for example everything works, but i don't want a delay . Question - where i need set text to my view to render this correctly ?
My activity displays a text view where the text is constantly changed with updates from a LocationListener.

I am using a textview to display some text and I would like different parts of the text to be shown in different colours, e.g. first half of the text in red, second in blue. I cant seem to find a way of doing this. I have heard of using Html.fromHtml() but I am not exactly sure how to do it this way.

CODE:............
The TextView renders with the text that has the word "awesome" bolded and underlined (Yay). However in my view, I cannot focus the subregion of text I specified in the clickablespan. I can click on it with a touch event, but I cannot focus it. I am testing this on Android 1.5 + 2.1. I have also tried UrlSpan as well.
I have also tried instead of using a ClickableSpan, to actually attach an onClick listener to the entire block of text but that doesn't give the region focus, just makes clicking easier.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs the best way to add some static text to a display to use a TextView?
Seems like there should be a TextLabel or TextStatic or something like that...
I have a layout that looks something like this:
[TextView 1] [TextView 2]
[ TextView 2 spill-over ]
Essentially, I need the contents of TextView 2 to wrap to the next line, but start where TextView 1 starts. I was thinking that if I knew how much text would fit into TextView 2 before it runs out of space on line one, I could take the rest of the text and put it in another TextView below the first two. So I need to measure how much text will fit into a TextView (which can be tricky because as far as I can tell, Android will try to break the text in a TextView at a good location so that it won't break a word in the middle if it can be avoided) or I need a new idea on how to lay this out.
