Is there any way to have an html file (i.e. an html template) be a resource in android? I'd like to reference it in a similar way that i store strings in the res/values/strings.xml. However, when i do this, it appears the HTML is not getting rendered correctly when i use code...

I know I can put escaped HTML tags in string resources. However, looking at the source code for the Contacts application I can see that they have a way of not having to encode the HTML.Unfortunately, when I try something similar (like Hello, <b>World</b>!), getString() returns the string without the tags (I can see that in logcat). Why is that? How can I get the original string, with tags and everything? How is the Contacts application doing it?

I have heavily edited the original text and instead of the how question I am posting the code that produces the effect I wanted, namely a floating menu on top that stays fixed as I scroll whatever is in the middle with a lower menu at the bottom of the screen. Ain't life sweet - Might even work on the iPhone as well.
Why I posted was like I said in the original question. I'm fiddling with creating the initial lay out for a "mobile" application for the disabled, have tonnes of data, dictionary files, icons for the purpose etc. I want to have the app running as HTML to make it as portable as possible, i.e. make it runnable on Android, Iphone, Maemo... whatever.
I got some hints by looking at the example at http://www.quackit.com/css/codes/css_floating_menu.cfm as well as a lot of trial and error and finally minor edits by a paid freelancer.
Below you can find some crude (to put it mildly) HTML/CSS (cut the CSS part and load a style instead in the HTML's you create for cleaner code) but for now, let's look at the prototype concept.

You can see the working example on your Android device or in your Android emulator http://globability.org/webapp/aaa.html
Need to get the sound working though - but nearly there :)Links to the different web based version and thoughts behind application can be found on:

I;ve been trying to create a custom button in android using this tutorial - http://www.gersic.com/blog.php?id=56
It works well but it doesn't say how to change the font size or weighting. Any ideas?
There was another question on here and the only answer was to use html styling but you can't change a font size in html without using css (or the deprecated font tag). There must be a better way of setting the pixel size of the font used on buttons?
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've been trying to do the following:
A user is viewing content/page on my View/Activity, and I have an email button, they select "email" and popup a prefilled in email/ subject asking for the to: address....or some way to launch teh default email client with a pre-composed email awaiting the sender to be filled in.. . .ala, "check out this link/content'....
Possible? I can see how to do a mailto:// link, but trying to leverage the built-in contacts and email app, but to compose and stuff the email contents with contents.
I'm going to develop a mobile version of my webapp. Most documentation I've read suggests one of the following approaches:create a separate domain (m.example.com)using conditional css style sheets, but serve the same html
I'd like to take a completely different approach. I'm using MVC, and would decide which template to render on the server side. My model and controller will be the same, the domain will be the same, but the html will be served differently for mobile users.Has anyone tried this? Any pitfalls to this approach?

Everytime i drive to my girlfriend's house i have to write a message that i have arrived and she can come out but i have to prepare text it while standing in the traffic jam, at the traffic light or while driving (it's uncomfortable and dangerous!).
So i though - what about a shortcut on my home screen or in my "Car Home" app that:
will send a certain template message to a certain recipient just by one click on the shortcut (well maybe can be two clicks that the second will ask for confirmation "YES/NO").
I'm trying to make a soundboard to put on the android market. I downloaded a soundboard template from [URL]..., and it works great except I don't know how to successfully change the package name from "com.soundboard" to something else without making the project go all "error" crazy.
I click the package name in the the package explorer and click refactor and I change the package name, but then everything becomes an error because the package name is now different. How can I change the package name successfully so I don't get errors everywhere?

I'm relatively new to Java and android, in my android application I need to get xml file, transform it and show to user.

I am attempting to parse HTML for specific data but am having issues with return characters, at least I think that's what the problem is. I am using a simple substring method to take apart the HTML as I know beforehand what I am looking for.

I am trying to launch an Android app via a hyperlink from an HTML site - i.e. tel:+448458001020 would call play.com from my phone upon clicking the button that has aforementioned hyperlink. Or putting a hyperlink on a button geo:0,0?z=17 opens up google maps on my phone with my location at a zoom of 17, mailto:n...@email.com would email and obviously http:// would take the user to another webpage.

View 2 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.
