I have next situation: After installing application it has to init settings from server. And while it is not has right preferences it has to wait. I have several receivers and service - I don't want to check for initialization in every action in these components - I think there have to be better solution.

I want to initialize ImageView class in Class which do not extends View.

I have searched the forum for GPS but find nothing so I am posting here, move if the wrong place. I have a VZ Droid and find that the phone service has to be turned on before the GPS will find any satellites. The fix will continue to hold if I switch to Air mode so the phone is not needed after initialization.
Google has been good enough to give us European maps but if a phone service is needed to initialize the GPS the location function etc will not work in Europe. I had planed on taking the Droid to Italy next year but it looks as if it will be useless. Any workaround or is my phone "broken"?
Trying to code a simple Live wallpaper for android. I'm having trouble finding out how to capture the screen size at initialization.Any thoughts on how I might can accomplish this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a tab view on android. I am using 4 xml layout files (each a RelativeLayout) as the content for tabs in a tab view. The main.xml contains: TabHost (@android:id/tabhost) containing a linearLayout which contains a TabWidget (@android:id/tabs) and a FrameLayout (@android:id/tabcontent). If I embeded the multiple one after another in the in the main.xml everything works fine (except my main.xml is unmaintainable which is the problem I want to solve by splitting the files into a simple main.xml which defines the tab and the content frame and then push the views onto this). The code I have to inflate and insert the 4 RelativeLayout xml files into the tab content is as follows:
mTabHost = getTabHost(); View wv = null;
wv = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.user_tab, mTabHost.getTabContentView(), true);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("User").setIndicator("User").setContent(wv.getId()));
wv = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.track_tab, mTabHost.getTabContentView(), true);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("Track").setIndicator("Track").setContent(wv.getId()));
wv = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.chart_tab, mTabHost.getTabContentView(), true);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("Chart").setIndicator("Chart").setContent(wv.getId()));
// And so on for the multiple tabs.
When I run this the first tab (User) is empty and the remaining tabs have all the content from all the views. So tab2 has the content from tab1-4, tab3 has the content from tab1-4 and tab4 has the content from tab1-4. Returning to tab1 it then has all the content from tab1-4 now. The code works just fine, the events on the various objects in the views etc all are good. It is just that they are all muddled together in the view. What is causing this and how to correct it?
I am trying to make the use of Network location provider to get the location updates, But it seems to be that Network location provider makes use of MASF client . From the debug statements we found that Network provider does seems to launch MASF client , Would some one explain me the basic sequence of initialization of Network service provider ? and if MASF client is not getting initialized do we need to do some settings. What do i need to check .Any information on this is Highly appreciated.

In my app i need to read the data at a content provider before the system actually initializes. Probably what i understand is that a boot complete intent would launch a homescreen activity.Exactly before the system initialized i want to see the data provided by the content provider and use it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've implemented a spinner with an OnItemSelectedListener event handler. When I initialize the spinner and when a user makes a selection the even handler gets called. What I need is to determine when a user makes a selection. Is there a way to determine in the OnItemSelectedListener whether the event was triggered because of data initialization, or because of a user selection? Am I going down the wrong path trying to do this with the OnItemSelectedListener? Is there a better way to to capture a user selection event on a spinner control?

The Android implementation of Logger.java claims that it is Forcing the LogManager to be initialized since its class init code performs necessary one-time setup. But this forced initialization results in a NoClassDefFoundError. I'm thinking that it has something to do with the class not having been preloaded by Zygote yet but am not that familiar with the whole class loaders and VM business.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following code in my application in res/xml/preferences.xml:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Wi-Fi settings">
<EditTextPreference
android:key="pref_voice_threshold_top"

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. How should I proceed? I want to be able to use a activity for result intent with the PICK action.
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.
