Is there an easy way to grab a attribute value from an xml item in your Java class definition?I know you can grab similar xml attributes from the converted objects using getters/setters like View.getText().I'm just wondering if there's a way to grab an xml attribute right from the item itself.

I have problem to solve. I have listview in which android:background="#FFFF7W" value I would would like to put it in the android:cacheColorHint= "the value of the android:background".If anybody put some light how to refer the other attribute value to another attribute of the same element would be grateful.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an xml resource in res/values/integers.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<integer-array name="UserBases">
<item>2</item>
<item>8</item>
<item>10</item>
<item>16</item>
</integer-array>
</resources>
and ive tried several things to access it:
int[] bases = R.array.UserBases;
this just returns and int reference to UserBases not the array itself
int[] bases = Resources.getSystem().getIntArray(R.array.UserBases);
and this throws an exception back at me telling me the int reference R.array.UserBases points to nothing
what is the best way to access this array, push it into a nice base-type int[] and then possibly push any modifications back into the xml resource.
I've checked the android documentation but I haven't found anything terribly fruitful.
I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to compile an app via Android 1.6, and got errors shown below. It said some strings in TextView and Button are not localized. I know how to fix them. It's easy to add them to strings.xml. But I still doubt why I need to localize every string. I don't think the strings like '1024' (pure number) or '80 x 25' need to be localized. Can't I set some strings to be non-localized? I searched SDK 1.6 documents, but can't find any help.

how can i get the image url from thumb_image tag alone.
I finally decided to use styles and themes instead of tediously setting attributes for each individual view. I was able to get the style to work when I set it on android:textAppearance, but when I try to just set it right on the style attribute like below, it no longer applies.This is happening to me for Buttons as well as TextViews. What I want is to be able to have a few different styles for text views and buttons and then just set the style on each button or text view.The style will need to define textSize, textColor, background and maybe a few others.Since background and some other things are not textAppearance,I need to use the general style attribute.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI set the tag attribute on a custom widget in my layout XML:
Code:
<com.louisvillemade.thegirlyapp.widgets.GirlySeekBar
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="40dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:max="19"
android:tag="attr_2"
android:progress="0"
[code]....
How do I grab some of the XML elements, like the android:tag element (set to "attr_2") through reflection of seekBar? Calling seekBar.getTag() returns null and I can't seem to find any methods on the Drawable that will give me what I want.
This question is about setting the "style" attribute programmatically, but it needs a bit of background first. I wish to create a custom component which will looks like a EditText box but not actually allow direct input. (When focused or touched it will pop up a dialog to allow data to be entered).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've created a combo box control with a edittext and spinner. I'm trying to let the android:prompt attribute be passed onto the spinner, which means I need to catch it in the constructor which passes my the AttributeSet and set it on the spinner. I can't figure out how to get the value of the prompt.
I get back 0, which means it didn't find the attribute.I also did a ta.count() which returned 0. So I'm not getting anything back.My XML simply defines an android:prompt value.
I am using SAXParser to parse an html page (any better solution?) and have this exception:
W/System.err( 1358): org.apache.harmony.xml.ExpatParser $ParseException: At line 1, column 59: not well-formed (invalid token)
I have reduced the page to this:
<div id="submenu"><a href="/compte/console.pl? id=382730&idt=1cf6b94aa1a4cf84"></a></div>
And what causes the exception is the '&' inside the href attribute value.
Here is a minimalist test code:
DefaultHandler emptySaxHandler = new DefaultHandler() {};
String xmlstr = "<div id="submenu"><a href="/compte/console.pl?id=382730&idt=1cf6b94aa1a4cf84"></a></div>";
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
saxParser.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlstr.getBytes ()),emptySaxHandler);
Is this a normal behaviour or kind of bug? If normal, what should do to preprocess the string before parsing?
I was wondering if it is possible to use a similar approach to change the style attribute of an element using the same (or similar) technique.Or, if that is not possible, how can the style attribute be changed during runtime (there is no such thing as button.setStyle(R.style.button)).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there XML attribute that does the exact opposite of android:dependency? What I would like the dependent preference to be enabled when the other is not checked and disabled when it is checked. Maybe the issue isn't with android:dependency maybe there is an xml attribute that I can add to make the default for that preference disabled and then android:dependency will toggle it the opposite way like I want. I tried setting android:enabled="false" in the preference and it disables it like I want but even with it being dependent on the other preference it didn't enable it like I had hoped.

When i run my apk on QVGA emulator, i found that the system always get the values from res/values/config.xml. Thus i want to know if Android support to use resource to describe the activity attribute.
Trying to implement simple dictionary. I want to make it so while the user is typing in the EditText box the list to scroll automatically to the best match. I don't want it to filter the list. For example if the user types "s" in the EditText I want the first word that s/he sees under the EditText box to be the first word in the dictionary that starts with "s." But the user should still be able to slide up and down and to be able to see the entire list of words. It is basically like a go to functionality. I used ArrayList to store my list of words. The data is in res/raw/data.xml file. Here is my onCreate method
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wordListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.wordList);
myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
words = new ArrayList<Word>();
arrAdap = new ArrayAdapter<Word>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, words);
wordListView.setAdapter(arrAdap); try {
InputStream inSource = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.data);
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inSource, null);
NodeList wordsList = doc.getElementsByTagName("eng-bg");
int length = wordsList.getLength();
for(int i = 0; i<length; i++) {
Element entry = (Element)wordsList.item(i);
Element eng = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("english").item(0);
Element bul = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("bulgarian").item(0);
Element id = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("ID").item(0);
String english = eng.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String bulgarian = bul.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
int wordId = Integer.parseInt(id.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
Word word = new Word(bulgarian, english, wordId);
addNewWord(word);

If I restart the phone the attribute for the newly shoot video or picture taken becomes available.
The other way to make the attributes available is to plug in and out your phone to a computer through usb cable. Once that is done the attributes are available.
