View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: String Resources Do Not Update When Orientation Changes / What To Fix It?
Apr 29, 2010I have used the method specified on the Resource and I18N page (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html) to specify separate strings.xml resource files for when the orientation is landscape vs. portrait. When the activity starts, it will display the strings correctly based on the orientation at that time. But if the orientation changes, the strings do not change to start using the new resource file. Instead, they continue to use the resource file that was valid when the activity started.
Is there some function I can call to reload the string resources based on the current configuration, or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
Android :: Extracting String Resources To A Jar - Referencing Error
Jan 27, 2009I'm just about to start externalizing all my String-resources to a new project and then bring them back by including the exported jar-file of this 'i18n'-project. Doing so i18n for different languages becomes easier (I could simply export just a handful of languages to the jar). can successfully change the java-references to the outsourced foo.bar.i18n.R.java BUT, all references of the xml-layouts fail Sample: ############ android:label="@string/app_name"> ############ where: "@string/app_name" is now unknown =/ I'm asking myself whether this is possible and how to resolve my issue / properly reference the externalized string-resources.

Android :: Unable To Manage To Put A String With Double Quotes In A Resources File
Oct 31, 2009I'm probably missing something obvious, but for some reason I don't manage to put a string with double quotes in a resources file.
strings.xml: <resources> <string name="message_empty_folder">Folder "%s" is empty.</string> </resources>
LIstFolderActivity.java: String format = getResources().getString (R.string.message_empty_folder); System.out.println(format);
Log output: Folder %s is empty.
What's eating up the double quotes?
Android :: Android - Retrieving All Drawable Resources From Resources Object
Jul 11, 2010In my Android project, I want to loop through the entire collection of Drawable resources. Normally, you can only retrieve a specific resource via its ID using something like:
InputStream is = Resources.getSystem().openRawResource(resourceId)
However, I want to get all Drawable resources where I won't know their ID's beforehand. Is there a collection I can loop through or perhaps a way to get the list of resource ID's given the resources in my project?
Or, is there a way for me in Java to extract all property values from the R.drawable static class?

Oct 1, 2010In Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Getting Resources Outside Of An Activity
Mar 31, 2009I currently have a few classes that are called by an activity (some statically) in which I want to use a string resource. I tried: Resources.getSystem().getString(R.string.mystring), but am getting an error. It seems as though you can only use this within an activity.
Is there anyway to use a project resource in a standard (non Activity) class without having to pass the resource object from the activity calling the class?
Android :: Freeing DB Resources
Oct 18, 2010I have an app with 2 Activities and an IntentService all which need to access the same SQLite Database table. What's an appropriate pattern to use?
Should I create a ContentProvider that manages access to the database, ie opening/closing, querying, updating etc. And have the 3 clients all access the DB via the ContentProvider?
Or is it OK for each client to access the DB directly? This is the approach I have now and it seems to be working, but I need to close my cursor and the DB after executing every statement or I start generating stacktraces in the log about unclosed DB resources. But closing the DB after each statement seems wasteful and I suspect that this approach will always be susceptible to the stacktraces because there is always the potential for collisions between either of the Activities and the IntentService.
I haven't been able to find any good resources that show DB usage in full. It always snippets that miss out the *obvious* piece such as when should the resources be closed etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Can I Load Resources From Another App
Nov 8, 2010I'm developing an Android app for which we will be selling separate content in the Android Market. Since Android lacks an in-app purchasing model as iOS has, I have come to understand that this is the ideal way of selling additional content (but NOT functionality) for Android apps.

Android : Way To Pass Resources
Feb 21, 2010Need some advice from you experts out there. I've just started with Android programming and while I finally got what I want my "Hello World" to do, I feel as if I'm bludgening my way through rather than grasping concepts. I created three EditText boxes. Below those I created three Spinners. Pick a number in the Spinner and it will show up in the corresponding EditText box. Spinner 1 correlates to EditText 1, Spinner 2 to EditText 2 and Spinner 3 to EditText 3. I had a hell of a time getting this to work. I do have some cleaning up to do. Is there a better way to pass or reference resources around various classes?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Batch Getting Many Bitmap Resources?
Jan 24, 2010I have a long series of graphics -- icon1_0.png, icon1_1.png, icon1_2.png..., icon12_0.png, icon12_1.png, icon12_2.png -- and I'd like to package them with my android application. Ideally I think I should be able to load them as resources but the resource id's are set up as java identifiers. Of course, java identifiers can't be assembled at runtime. I have to ask for R.drawable.icon12_00 so I cannot set up a loop
for(int icon=0;icon<12;icon++)
for(int frame=0;frame<3;frame++)
//syntax error obviously
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable."icon" + icon + "_" + frame + ".png");
So is there any way to get resources by their names? Better yet, is there a canonical way outside the resource system to pack data files into an android application package so that I can get at them? I'm thinking about reflection but that doesn't seem like the right solution to me.
