Android :: Gallery Widget - Focus And Selection Gone?
Aug 26, 2010
I'm trying to realize how the focus and selection in the Gallery widget is doing their job. I'm facing weird situations when trying to update information (TextViews and Spinner) upon a selected item in the Gallery. The focus and selection is lost. So, using the resource gallery_item_background will end in showing the "unselected" background for the current selected image. I have used the .xml that came with the android sdk, and I can't realize how this is happening. I have set setFocusable(false) and setFocusableInTouchMode(false) to all other Views to try out (and true for the Gallery) without any luck.
I have also add 'in-situ' debug, that is, a menu that updates differents widgets when onItemSelected() is called. So I can see while using the application how the background resource is applied. When set to 'no update' the obvious thing happens. None of the widgets are updated with new values, and the background resource works as expected. When set to 'manual update' (an update in the listener that do: .setText() on the textview) does work depending the current View that is showing the TextViews (I have a ViewFlipper that display 2 differents Layout of the TextViews)...............

I'm trying to set the selection of a Gallery in code. I would like to have the Gallery smoothly roll down a few items over the duration of a second or two. At frist glance, it appears that two members would to the trick:Gallery.setAnimationDuration(int animationDurationMillis); Gallery.setSelection(int position, boolean animate); It turns out that the setAnimationDuration only seems to affect the rubber-bandy "return-to-center" effect of the Gallery. In other words, when a gallery comes to rest after a fling, and a gallery item is off center, the animationDurationMillis is used to control the duration of the Gallery centering up the item. However, the value seems to have no effect on the setSelection. No matter what value is set with setAnimationDuration, the Gallery seems to render about 2 or 3 frames when flying between items 1 and 10 for example. Is this working as designed? Does anyone know a trick or workaround that would let me properly animate setSelection? I'd be especially grateful if we could do it with an "Ease Out" effect.

I have a Droid just running stock 2.0.1. What I am looking for is a photo/picture gallery app that simply let's you select the folders that you want to display in the app. I was fine with the stock gallery for awhile, but then I started getting a variety of apps that store pictures in various folders (the worst one being Touchdown for Exchange which puts almost every attachment in a new folder). The stock gallery now takes forever to load up, as it is loading a TON of folders with images in them. Really it makes it almost useless at this point. This was the main reason I switched to MixZing for audio, as it let me narrow my library down to the few folders that actually mattered.

This bug just spontaneously arose. Every time I select a new wallpaper it loops back to the gallery. The problem does not occur when I pick one of the Droid pre-loaded wallpapers. Not sure if this is a coincidence, but I just installed sweeter home beta 2.
Update. I removed the 2.1 gallyey app and it fixed the problem

I borrowed this from an incredible thread bcuz it is EXACTLY what is happening with my EVO.Pictures in gallery don't focus to their maximum clearness.So with my awesome 8 mega pixel camera I like to take some pictures, and then show them off (obviously using the gallery). But I noticed they turn out good, but if you zoom in a little, like pinch to zoom, then zoom out to the normal size (when the picture originally appears) it gets crisper and soooo much clearer. It's unbelievable. Try it, You'll see what I'm talking about. It's only with pictures the phone takes.I have tried pulling up a picture and waiting for it to auto focus (like it would load or something), but nothing happens.No matter what I do or how long I wait.So does anyone know why this is? I have to pinch and zoom in, then zoom out to the normal size to get the best quality of the photo when viewing it in the gallery and this is getting old Anyone have a solution to this?

I am wondering is there any way to create something similar to spinner but which allows multiple selection. I guess we can select multiple entries from ListView but I don't have much space to show all the entires and also I need to show three different categories on the same Activity which you can select from.
Here is what I want to do:
Category 1:
Category 2:
Category 3:

I've got a button with italics text in an app widget and the last letter gets clipped when I set the width to wrap_content. It doesn't get clipped with fill_parent, but then that messes up the selection order.
Things I've tried: - space after my text - seems to get trimmed off automatically - layout_marginRight - paddingRight
Anybody know what's going on here? Is this a bug?

I am trying to pass the same touch events on one widget to the other so they both scroll at the same time and in same way. I have two Gallery widgets one above and one below. If the above one is scrolled then I want to pass the same touch event to the bottom widget so it also scrolls the same way.I have tried to use dispatchtouchevent events but I am facing an issue where in if the bottom gallery widget has some edit text then the edit text gets the key event and both widgets doesnt scroll anymore.I have tried to set focussable and editable to false on edittext even then it gets the touch events.I think I am going in the right direction. However I need some assistance in doing the right way.

do you know if it is possible to keep focus in a widget even if other widgets that are partially visible or not visible at all changes its height size?I wouldn't like to have my screen jump vertically in front of the user because some other widget updated itself to accommodate more data.

Is there a widget for WiFi selection? I'm in a house with more than one that I use and jump from one to another....
The current widget only turns it on and off...and the WiFi defaults to connecting to the last connected.... not the strongest.
On a side note I have a dual band wireless-n router....the phone (if it is wireless n) only sees the 2.4 ghz spectrum...not the 5 (which is much faster and less interference). And in case anyone asks why you would need it....internal networking...Not for surfing the web.

I'm trying to use Spinner as a button with selection pop-up. Basically I want an icon and when user clicks it - the popup list is displayed and user can make a selection. The Spinner happily accepts icon image as drawable background. Unfortunately when I select a value the text overlays the background. Is it possible to set selection text color as a transparent? Or maybe there's a better way?

What's the best way to detect when a Home Screen Widget has gained or lost focus? An example of losing focus is if the user navigates to another screen or if another screen popped up in front of the Widget.

I have made a custom widget, very similar to JTable in Swing. It is not editable, and all data is replaced at once, allowing easy checking for the widest item in each column & custom col sizing at replace time. It is a subclass of LinearLayout, filled with re-usable TableRow Objects, sub-classed directly from View.
TableRow is both Clickable, focusable, & focusable In Touch Mode. TableRow overrides onDraw(Canvas), calling super. It draws the first column in Black with Lt gray underneath. If the TableRow isFocused () , then a filled rectangle is drawn, before the rest of the cols (left or right justified based on data type), and borders. Where do I get the color, orange, to draw the filled rectangle indicating focus? android.R.drawable.list_selector_background seems to be a pointer, value 17301602, not an actual color. Placing any real Color in my code draws things fine. Is this 17301602 transparent or something? Am I doing this wrong, or do I just need to know how to fine the orange?

I am playing around with the Gallery widget.I would like to know how can we get the position of the image on focus in the gallery. For example having several pictures in my gallery, if I tap my finger to the right, pictures will come and go until it stop to one. How one can get the position of this one picture that is currently on focus ?I don't know if I was clear enough, if there is anything you want me to add do not hesitate.

Is it possible to scroll a Gallery widget pragmatically? I see Gallery inherits scrollTo() and scrollBy(), but that scrolls the entire widget itself, not its content.
Is there some obvious way to do this that I'm missing, my searches are coming up empty? I don't want to have to do a copy/paste/hack from git hub if possible.

I'm working on a little Player with Playlist and use the Gallery Widget to visualize the Playlist. I tried to scroll the Gallery Widget manual to an active item, but the Widget don't support any functions to do this. There are several methods in the Gallery.java class
movePrevious() moveNext() scrollToChild( int pos ) but the visibility of this methods is default or private. So i can't override this functions, if I Inherit from Gallery class.
can any one please help for a solution to scroll the Gallery manual?

Gallery in Android is only horizontal scrolling support. And we want make one with vertical scrolling support.
We got plans below. Can anyone give us some advice about which one is right?
1) Linearlayout ( We think it's bad)
2) ListView ( We think it's a good option and get a little worry about performance--too many pictures!)
3) subclass of AbsSpinner like Gallery and do something like Gallery source.
Which one is easy, time-saving and less performance or other problems.

I'd like to programmatically move between images in the Gallery widget, with animation.
I can change the currently displaying image using the setSelection(int position) method, however that does not animate. Then there's setSelection(int position, bool animate) but the extra boolean on the end there doesn't appear to do anything.
In the source of Gallery it appears that it can handle DPAD key-presses, so a work-around I thought of was to fake the key-presses. Eg.
dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT))
However I can't get this working for some reason. Anyone tried this?
I notice three of the widget's methods I'd love to use moveNext(), movePrevious() and scrollToChild() are all private and unusable.
Does anyone know how I might be able to do this?
