Android :: Getting Right Highlighting Behavior In ListView
Sep 20, 2010
I have a ListView set up in single-choice mode like this:
<ListView android:id="@id/android:list"android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#ff444444" android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:headerDividersEnabled="true"/>
When I press my finger on a choice, the selection changes from white text on light gray to black text on orange. But as soon as I lift my finger, the selection reverts to the original state. I'd like that chosen row to remain in the black-text-on-orange mode when I lift my finger so that the user knows what was selected in the list (my onClickListener has captured the selected row, of course). Is there a way I can tell the ListView that I want this behavior or something similar so the user knows what item has been selected?

I have a ListView component and its items are highlighted orange when clicked or selected with the trackball, as you would expect as this is the default behavior. Some of my list items get colored with setBackgroundColor(). These colored items seem to hide the orange highlighting when clicked or selected. How can I color some of my items like this and still inherit this highlighting behavior?

I got two kind of lists on 4 different views. All lists are clickable and starts an activity to read the clicked record. One is just a listview populated from the DB and works fine. The second is also a listview populated from a DB but has a addHeaderView. This makes the list forget where it was when you return from the listview's intent. If I remove the addHeaderView(); it works fine. Why does AddHeaderView changes or even malfunctions ListView's behavior?

I have been trying now for a few hours to reverse the scrolling of behavior of the ListView. Essentially when scrolling down with my finger I want the list to scroll up!

I have a listview showing contacts.
When I'm scrolling the list the scroll works pretty smooth however when/if I'm trying to continue the scroll in the middle of the last scrolling the scroll just stops and sometimes the item I clicked on is selected (I have registered an OnClickListener to the item view).
I would like to get smooth scrolling just as in the device native contact list.
My implementation builds each contact a view containing: 1. Big picture for the contact image. 2. Small picture for the type of the contact. 3. TextView with the Contact name 4. TextView with some extra text about that contact.
My current layout for every item looks like:
CODE:........................
I've tried changing the LinearLayouts to relative ones but saw no improvement in performance.
I've created my own "Selector" in code (to eliminate the time it takes to load the resource) so that odd rows will have different background color. The code looks like:
CODE:........

Is there any way i can make my listactivity (rather listview) highlight the List Item when it is clicked (pressed) upon? (...and remain highlighted) The default behavior, simply highlights the item for a moment, and it gradually fades to black... Currently, the highlighting only happens when we use the DPad... It'd be ideal if atleast one list item is "highlighted" at all times. Worst case scenario, i may have to keep track of the "last clicked item" (by default the first) and change its background or something...but i was hoping there was an easier way...

I am using a ListView with an ArrayAdapter that holds objects. When I select an item, I am capturing the position and index of the selected item. If I scroll down prior to selection, the position and index represent the location of the item in the list. Selecting that items takes me to another activity. When I use the back button to return to the list, it seems that the ListView gets a new position and index for the visible items.
As a result, I can't figure out how to reference the selected item during the restart() of the ListView Activity. I have tried to capture position and index, but as I've said, they change upon returning to the Activity.
Is my understanding of the ListView "redraw" correct? Does it renumber my items based on what's visible? -When in the life cycle is getView() called? Is there a way to force an update to the ListView so that my captured index still points to the same object?

I'm currently working on a small update to a project and I'm having an issue with Relative_Layout and fill_parent in a list view. I'm trying to insert a divider between two sections in each row, much like the divider in the call log of the default dialer. I checked out the Android source code to see how they did it, but I encountered a problem when replicating their solution.
To start, here is my row item layout:
CODE:..........
The issue I'm facing is that each row has a thumbnail of varying height (ImageView01). If I set the RelativeLayout's layout_height property to fill_parent, the divider does not scale vertically to fill the row (it just remains a 1px dot). If I set layout_height to "?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight", the divider fills the row, but the thumbnails shrink. I've done some debugging in the getView() method of the adapter, and it seems that the divider's height is not being set properly once the row has it's proper height.
Here is a portion of the getView() method:
CODE:.........
The rest of the method simply sets the appropriate text and images for the row.
Also, I create the inflater object in the adapter's constructor with: inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
Am I missing something essential? Or does fill_parent just not work with dynamic heights?

I have the android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" set on my ListView, which fixed this issue in one of my other lists in another activity, but it's not helping in this other list. I'm using the Light theme in my app, if that matters. I can't figure out what's going on. Long press brings up the context menu just fine, I just don't get the nice highlight of the row while pressing it.

Anyone know of a Subversion client for Android OS? Same goes for a syntax highlighting text editor on there.

I'm trying to customize my buttons in my view a bit and give them my own look. Whenever I set a picture as a background so that the button looks different though, I seem to lose my cursor. I can use my trackball to go through the items still but when I come to one of my custom buttons the cursor does not show. I have the same problem with some TextViews that I made clickable.

I set setCursorVisible(false) on my EditText to get rid of the blinking cursor. Unfortunately, this also gets rid of highlighting. Why? How can I get rid of the cursor and not the highlighting?

I'm trying to disable the highlighting of objects in a GridView in Android 2.2. I did find another article saying that I should set the selector to a transparent ColorDrawable, but the views in my GridView are still dimmed when I select them. I'm just using the GridView to display static objects (right now it's text, but I plan on switching it to simple images). None of these objects will be selected. Would it be better to just use a basic view and draw my images manually with quartz?

When viewing Web pages either in the built-in Web browser or in a WebView canvas, focusable items get the orange highlight ring as you navigate the page with the D-pad/trackball. A design team I am working with wishes to create some Web content, specifically for Android, where they handle their own focus highlighting via Javascript/CSS and wish to disable the built-in Android focus highlighting. In this case, the content is being viewed through a WebView, so I have some measure of control. I see some posts describing how to use ColorStateList, <selector>, and android:background to affect this sort of change, for a single View. How would one go about affecting this change for the contents of a WebView?

When components like TextViews got focus we can focus them using highlighting the border of the component. Like that how can we highlight the border of a spinner object when it got focus? You can highlight borders of each and every item in the spinner at the time of selection. What I need is to highlight the border of spinner object when it got focus initially. I went through xml attributes and couldn't find matching one. Let me know if u have any clue to do this.

Is there a Java library for colourings text in an EditText? Or is this just accomplished with Regex? I looked into Google Prettify but that seems to be for static text.

Is it possible to highlight part of a text and copy in Android? It's kinda like how in iPhone, when you hold a text for sometime, the box will show up and you can copy then paste that somewhere?

Does anyone know how to set the notifications behavior on the EVO? Specifically with Google Talk? I would like the phone to beep at me only once when someone sends a google talk message, and then not ever again for the following messages until I unlock the phone's screen and reactivate the google talk app. I think it already works this way for email, but not for Gtalk. Can this be done? And, I already know that if I open up the chat session, the sounds shut off on successive messages. However I would like it to stop the beeping without opening the chat window.

I have a package with two activities
1. A main activity 2. A search activity
The search activity is invoked by a search suggestion provider in two possible ways
1. By clicking directly on a suggestion invoking the search activity through a VIEW action 2. By clicking on the explicit search icon invoking the activity through SEARCH action
If it is invoked through SEARCH I stay on the search activity and show some text to the user. Now when I click the back button I go back CORRECTLY to the home page.
ODD Behaviour: However if I came to the search activity through the VIEW, I invoke a browser activity and call finish() on the search activity. Now I have the browser in my view. If I now go back I would expect to go back to teh device home page. But from now where the "main activity" is showing up.
I see in the logcat a message from ActivityManager indicating
moveTaskToBack: 8
I have tried various flags to invoke the browser activity the tried flags include new task previous is top and I have also tried both a singleTop and otherwise with the SearchActivity as well. Same end result.

1. I want to know the behavior of activity for the cases where onStop and on Destroy were not called like low memory situations.
2. I was registered my handler in on Create() and unregistering in on Destroy, what is the behavior if other thread sends messages to the registrants after the activity was killed by android without calling on Destroy. I know that those handler were not removed by GC as they are still referring by the thread.
3. Also suggest me to handle the above situations.

I have a TextView which is inside a LinearLayout which is in the child position of an ExpandableListView. Without assigning a color state selector to the text view, the following behavior is observed:Text unselected - text paints as white Text selected - text paints as black.If I add a color state selector with a call to text.setTextColor(R.color.textcolorstatelist) then the following behavior is observed:Text unselected - text paints as black Text selected - text paints as black.I tried two versions of textcolorstatelist.xml and both produced the results above.

I am using a handler inside my service to display notifications at a certain time using the Handler.postDelayed method. My application runs fine on the emulator just as expected satisfying all cases. But when I installed the same on my HTC Wildfire, it simply doesn't happen as anticipated. Notifications are displayed at a random manner after the scheduled time and some notifications even fail. I'm monitoring my service from the Applications > Running Services and still my service is active.

I am trying to add ringtones to the media/ringtones folder from my application. If the phone is connected via USB to a computer or mounted on my Mac, the ringtones do not show up in the SD Card, nor in the Ringtone settings.
But if I run the application with the USB unplugged, the ringtones appear ok. This is not a problem with Ringdroid which does the same thing.

I changed my database schema on my application to include an additional column in one of the tables. I did this in the onUpgrade method in the DBHelper.
Then I tried exporting my signed application and reinstalling it using the 'adb install -r <app>.apk' command to try and 'simulate' an application upgrade, but onUpgrade never gets called.
Is there a command that I can use to try and duplicate the behavior of an application upgrade?

I have an audio player toolbar activity that has a corresponding layout file.
I need this player to show up at the bottom of another activity. I use a ViewStub and inflate the audio toolbar's layout file in the stub.
How do I access the buttons, etc on this inflated view and how do I set their behavior?
The docs on ViewStub did not mention anything about this (or maybe I totally overlooked something).

I'm looking around and trying to find out where sleep behavior is documented - and I mean in the general sense.
When the phone is left alone: * Sometimes the phone screen dims and doesn't shut off. * Sometimes the phone screen goes dark in five seconds * Sometimes the menu lock happens. * Sometimes the menu lock doesn't happen. * Sometimes the only way to darken the screen is to push the power button.
What's not clear is what triggers these different states. I'm looking for a complete list I can use in testing and application validation.

I wrote an app that invokes the contact manager in the following way: Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(pickcontact, CONTACTPICKED); I am experiencing 2 different behavior between HTC phones and the NexusOne, all with firmware 2.1-update1. (i.e., my application is getting access to all my contact along the primary phone number of that contact list). On HTC phones however (incredible and the hero), the list of contact I get represents some sort of index as opposed to the actual contact name/phone number.
