View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm testing some functions with Android, JNI and NDK. I have the following JAVA class:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class JNITest extends Activity {
private int contador;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */...........................
All the classes in Android that can be built using XML have constructors of the form:
Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle
What is the defstyle parameter?
I have an XML resource file:
<resources> <section>
<category value="1" resourceId="@xml/categoryData1" />
<category value="2" resourceId="@xml/categoryData2" />
<category value="3" resourceId="@xml/categoryData3" />
</section> </resources>
Using XmlPullParser, on the START_TAG, I can use:
int value = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "value", 0);
to get values 1, 2, 3...however:
int resourceId = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "resourceId", 0);
doesn't work...it just yields the default value 0, or whatever I change the default value (3rd parameter) to be. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is possible?
I am trying to communicate between two Android applications. Application-A will send message/data to Application-B.

while I'm testing my app with Monkey test tool, I ran into the following exception: "IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view"
I don't really understand why this exception happens, so I did some research about this and found the following: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
According to the above post, the issue once was resolved in Donut release, but some ppl say it still happens. Is there anyone who knows anything about this issue? As far as I understood, this issue shouldn't occur unless you intendedly call the method ViewGroup.offsetDescendantRectToMyCoords to get an exception.
My app is using Tab, which means it has a lot of views in it. (including view changes too.) I don't really call setContentView repeatedly in my app though. Someone in the above post said that calling setContentView several times can cause this issue, so I just wanted to make sure that my app is not the case.
I'm using eclipse to develop over android, i'm trying to connect to a .net webservice...when i'm calling a webmethod with no parameters it works fine... but when i come to pass a parameter to the webmethod things turn upside down... the parameter is passed as null (while debugging the webservice i discovered that) and i get a null from the webmethod in the client side code... i've been searching for a solution for a day now and all that i can interpreter is that people keep talking about encoding styles and such stuff.... i've tried it all but in vain. i'm using ksoap2 version 2.3 with the following code:

I also added this: m_intent.putExtra("sms_body", "Hello World"); and it is working.

How to pass a parameter to an application that I call from my Application?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed a lot of Android functions have a parameter that you can pass in that's a bitmask, for different options, like on PendingIntent, you can pass in things like you can call getActivity() with PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT|PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE.

I'm building an android application, which has a list view, and in the list view, a click listener, containing an onItemClick method. So I have something like this:
public class myList extends ListActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
/* Do something*/
}
}
}
Normally, this works fine. However, many times I find myself needing too preform an application using the outer class as a context. thusfar, I've used: parent.getContext(); to do this, but I would like to know, is that a bad idea? I can't really call: because it's not really a subclass, just an embedded one. So is there any better way, or is that considered cosure? Also, if it is the right way, what should I do if the embedded method doesn't have a parameter to get the outside class?
From the JavaDoc, the EXTRA_STREAM parameter when launching an intent needs to be an URI. How can I pass a Bitmap object which I get from launching a "android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE" intent? code...
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy application will have some customisation for each company that uses it. Up until now, I have been loading images and strings from resource files. The idea is that the default resources will be distributed with the application and company specific resources will be loaded from our server after they click on a link from an email to launch the initialisation intent. Does anyone know how to replace resource files? I would really like to keep using resource files to avoid rewriting a lot of code/XML. I would distribute the application from our own server, rather than through the app store, so that we could have one version per company, but unfortunately this will give quite nasty security warnings that would concern our customers.

I am wondering if the Location.distanceTo method will use the accuracy field of the Location object when approximates the location, or do I have to add by my own the errors to these fields. The usage is to compare the distance against a proximity value.
Float dist=currentLocation.distanceTo(loc2); Would this be if (dist<100meters) or
if (dist+currentLocation.getAccuracy()+loc2.getAccuracy()<100meters)
The preference type of UI is used in many Google built-in applications for example Bluetooth , Wifi etc. And the getView of the preference is used to set the image or text to make it visible in the UI screen.
the getView for the pref type UI is defined as below in framework code : ->
CODE:..............................
Where the convertView is not getting recycled and every time whenever the user is scrolling the list up and down, convertVIew comes out to be null.Therefore by logic inflation of the UI also happens all the time in onCreateView().This is a kind of shortcoming in terms of memory utilization , hence in a discussion (MAKE YOUR UI FAST AND EFFICIENT) where Romain Guy has mentioned about the tricks to increase the app performance doesn't hold good for preference type of UI.
