How do you do you fetch a single RSS feed and show it in an ListView?
I realize there's hundreds of ways, but a clean and simple example would be appreciated.

In the application I am working on now I came up with the following problem. I have list view which is displaying items with images in most cases it will be different image for different items (thumbnails about 60x60 pixels). So the problem is how can I handle image processing for the view. For know I have the following variants:
1. I can cache all bitmaps and when I try to display view I get bitmap from cache synchronously and display it. The problem is that 60x60=3600x4=14kb per bitmap which is waste of resources.
2. When I need to display view I can register event to some thread to decode the associated bitmap which will decode it in background and than to update gui. This sounds good for me the scrolling is still smooth because all image processing is done in background. Updating list view is bit jerky for now I am doing it view notifyDataSetChanged which is updating all visible views although I can update thumbnail for a single item.
So question one is is there better way the update single listview element than calling notifyDataSetChanged.
A simple ListView with, say, 6 rows (Views). Now, I want it to fit exactly a single screen. Any straightforward way to do this? Or should I go with a custom view?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a png and a jpg image on disk. I'd like to use any built-in intent (if any are available) to view the image (just a single one at a time). Something like this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setImagePath("/blah/myimage.jpg");
startActivity(intent);
is there a built-in intent in android to do this, or do I have to write my own image viewing-activity? It would be cool if there was one that had panning/zooming as found in WebView.
I am having this issue where I am trying to have a single TextView span one to two lines, fill the cell completely (so you can also click edges of the cell and it will trigger) and center-align.
This is the layout for the cell:
CODE:...
However cells seems to be filled correctly ONLY if it happens to wrap around and end up spanning two lines of text. It shows center-aligned and you can click anywhere in the cell to trigger the click. The cells that do not span multiple lines of text are left-aligned and trigger (highlight) only if you click where the text is. There is a "numb" area which does not react to clicks inside the cell if the text is short.
I am new to android development and have been tasked with developing an app. One of the screens will require there to be a list of people with some thumbnail information about them, similar to:
Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
[code]....
This information will be stored in an SQLite DB. Now I can see that listView seems only to work with a single column. What is the best way to go about this?
I'm developing an simple application on Android, where some items are shown on a list. The user may click on one, taking him to a further activity.But my OnItemClickListener does not get called! I've found this very similar question, but the solution (disallow the list item view to get focus) does not work for me. However, a long click gets catched my OnItemLongClickListener gets called. Please have a look at the following code and try it yourself. This is a simplified version of my code, showing the buggy behavior. Btw: I'm using Andriod SDK 2.0 with Eclipse 3.5.1.

I want to have 2 buttons at the top, previous and next and my listview with custom adapter below it. Few days ago I had only my ListView showing, going over the buttons. Now I seem to be stuck on the other side, where my listview doesn't show while my buttons do.
My activity extends on ListActivity and uses this code to fill it with a customadapter.

I tried using "lv.addHeaderView(previous);" but that only gave me vague ClassCastExceptions about LayoutParams.
I think my problem is currently in my main.xml, as the Layout tab in Eclipse of it won't show the ListView either. It knows its there as it shows up in the outline tab, but the visual representation doesn't give it a red outline when I select it.

I want to show a button at the end of an android list view

I have an issues, I want to show 20 items in the list.
But there is a catch: if the user scrolls down to the bottom of the list, there will be an item that says: "Show more items", and when the users click on it, more items will be added to the list.
My question is how is poosible to have a last item, that has a different style and looks different: and does different things,(I think this is used in QuickSearchbox)
Here is my Arrival.Java. May i know why isn't there any data being shown on my ListView?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a listview of items (songs on the sd card). The user has an option to load all the songs on the sd card to into a current playlist -- those songs are what is displayed in the listview. Because this can take few seconds to load if they have a lot of songs on the card, I want to display a progress dialog to just tell the user "One moment..." until the list refresh is done.
I launch a thread to do this. I've done this successfully on another app I have (which just updates a database in the background but doesn't update any display), but this one fails with this error message, "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()". I chopped down the activity and pasted it below. What am I doing wrong here? I have just a vague idea of what might be happening.
By the way, everything works when I take out the threaded stuff, it just looks like the app freezes for a couple seconds.

I'm building a list that is sorted alphabetically. The list should show a divider containing the Letter that the following icons belong to.
I'm using a Cursoradapter that contains the already sorted result from the database. I plan on adding the divider to the list item and set it to visible if the shown letter changes. How do I know that I have a new Letter? Is there a better way then going forward or backward in the cursor and check if the item I show is the end or beginning of a new group?
How can i set the number of items to show in a list without to scroll?
Example: I have a list with 10 items.
I want that only 3 items appears and that I have to scroll to see the rest of the items.
I'm developing an Android application.Is there any way to show a message on a ListView only with it's empty?I'm using a custom ArrayAdapter, so I have to create a specific object with the text I want to show.I'm wondering if there is a specific field on ListView to setup a message when it's empty.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the android market app, the ListView shows a 'ProgressView' during the loading of the content of the ListView, and then when the loading is done, it shows the content of the ListView.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Cursor that returns rows I use with a SimpleCursorAdapter to populate a ListView. I would like to filter some of the rows so they don't get displayed in my ListView. I use the data from the rows elsewhere in my Activity so I don't want to change my SQL to filter them with a WHERE clause. What is the best way to keep a row from being displaying in my ListView? Ideally I would check a column in my row and then only add rows to the ListView that satisfy a condition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use this code in my getView:
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService
(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(R.layout.listrow, null);
}
Order o = items.get(position);
if (o != null) {
TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toptext);

if(o.getOrderDrawable()!=null){
thumb.setImageDrawable(o.getOrderDrawable());
}
else{
tt.setText(o.getOrderTitle());

return v;}
The problem is when scrolling; sometimes the correct image shows, but sometimes when scrolling back/forward, the images shows randomly and that is not associated with the row. The images are downloaded from the web.
I've got a ListView that works just great, except for this minor annoyance. I can use the trackball/dpad to move up and down my list, and the background changes according to which row has focus. But when I touch the row (click or long click), there's no background change letting me know what's been focused. I've tried setting 'focusable' and 'focusable in touch mode' to true on the rows, but it still doesn't work.
Just in case it matters somehow:
I am setting onClickListeners for each row. The row is comprised of LinearLayouts, TextViews, and a single ImageView. Focusable/clickable is 'true' for each row. Have not specified values for these on the ListView.
Trackable does act funny. I can only move between rows after touching inside the ListView. If I scroll trackball above the first item, it's impossible for me to scroll back into the list.
I populate a ListView from the result of a Sqlite query; one of the fields is the image file name that i would like to show as image into a listview.
How can i do to show the image file?
I use
SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.list_name,cur,new String[] {"fields_list"}, new int[] { R.id.list...});

View 1 Replies View RelatedHad no problem getting my phone to play nice with our exchange server at work and emails are coming/going fine.
However, there are some configuration items I have a big issue with as it relates to the 'look' of the email (coming from a BlackBerry).
1. Is there any way to have a single folder show my received items and sent items combined? My BB had this and it was very useful.
2. How can I edit the way my folders are displayed at the top horizontal bar? The sidescrolling folder display is awkward, it puts my inbox first (good) but then all subsequent folders are listed alphabetically; it pays no attention to their order on my desktop and also shows sub-folders of other files. Any way to change this?
3. Is there a way to change the way emails show as unread? The difference b/n read and unread is only a shade of grey, and difficult to see outside.
I have Eclipse Juno and I'm working on an app with that.
The main activity will have a scrollable menu that takes you to all the other activities.
So the general structure/outline right now:[HIGH]Relative Layout ImageView (header logo type thing) ListView (the actual scrollable menu)[/HIGH]Here's the problem though... I can't find any simple list tutorials. I can easily make a single line list work but I need to make a two line list and one that is static, not dynamic and no examples are out there for that. It's like if you want to make a 2 line list, you can only learn how to do it in the most code-heavy ridiculous way possible.
Essentially what I am looking for with the list is this: Item one: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Resources)
- Item two-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
- Item ??: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Tools)
- Item ??-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
Nothing dynamic that is ever going to change, no super complex wonkey calculations, just to simply have the data set in stone (preferably via XML) and to call it into the list.
I experimented with some of the other list views and no matter what I did, I could get, via editing the resources and NOT using Java, more that one item on a single line but it wouldn't format it properly according to the layout I guess because I haven't got the ID correct or whatever I don't know.
I mean, all the examples I've seen for a 2 line list are extraordinarily over-coded and just bloated. I mean I have a website I am still working on in C#/ASP.net that has far more complex things in it with half the code that I've seen for the examples of the two line lists.
I tried on my own to figure it out (I am decent with C# and vaguely familiar with Java, self taught, and programming for some other systems like Python, again all self-taught), but like ALL coding references, they're organised by the actual code you implement (that you don't know) instead of by what you want it to do (so you have to search the whole code base to find something that you don't know what it's called but know what it does). >:C
Currently I have a list view within it each row has a checkbox attached. I would like that once any checkbox is checked, at the bottom of the screen a view displays, and once none of the checkboxes are checked, the view automatically disappeared. Possible to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have not found an example yet with a solution to the following task.
I have a SQLite database with two tables- BOOK and AUTHOR. I execute a query on the DB that uses a join and results in a cursor that looks like this. code...
New authors and books can be added to the database at any time, and I also need the user to be able to remove books, hence the [ ] checkboxes.
So i have two row layouts, row_author.xml & row_book.xml. I detect when I need to show a row_author subheading by seeing when the current author has changed compared to the previous row. But I have realized that the rendering of an Author Row will then move the cursor forward one row and jump over their first book.
Can anyone suggest a good approach to presenting data like this? Is there a much better way to do this?
Is there a way to show that a WebView item contained as a item in a ListView is selected? Right now the WebView does not seem to display its contents transparently like every other control so it takes up the entire view and does not show its state as selected.
Also, when the content of the WebView is selected, scrolling down with the track back does not seem to cause the WebView to loose focus. If I continue to scroll down with the track ball, all of a sudden an item in the middle of the ListView gets selected.

Is this a problem with the maximum height of an individual list item? Is there a way to force the list item to expand and force the child listview to expand to show all children?
