Simple question - how is text-zooming implemented on an Android/iPhone device? Do they pre-compute frequently used bitmaps of a font and replace the text as the scale changes? Or do they extract the contours from the font files and render the text as vector graphics?

I'm displaying an image on full screen now i want to zoom it in or out.
Any one guide on how I can implement multitouch image zooming?
I am using the 2.1 sdk version.
One of the things I really like about the Incredible's browser is the fact that when you zoom in on text, it will reformat it so that you don't have to scroll from side to side to read everything, it makes it all in one column and does a very good job. Does the X's browser do this as well?

Should I use GlSurfaceView or just extend View? Should I make it as a compound View (it would consist of several Views) or draw everything on the Canvas in onDraw? In case I won't extend GlSurfaceView, how to do (smooth) animations? Start a Thread and call postInvalidate()?

I am looking for a solution for this. Full-text-search(FTS) is actually supported by SQLite, but is it available for Android? Can anybody enlighten me on this?
Is there any way to do better text entry? I have the Motorola Droid, and correcting mistakes is absolutely terrible. Trying to get the cursor at the exact point where you want to make an edit is virtually impossible without multiple tries. Isn't there an app that allows for something like the magnifying glass on the iPhone?

I've been trying to do this using TextViews + Animations but I'm having troubles primarily because of sizing issues. If my text is long enough that it exceeds the screen width, it won't be drawn completely (it's size will be chopped at screen width). Thus, when I animate it from right to left, only a part of the text will be displayed. This happens if I allow a maximum of 1 line in my TextView, because otherwise it makes the TextView have multiple lines. If I make it horizontally scrollable, the same 'chopped-off' behavior is seen.
I think this happens because the TextView's parent imposes some restrictions on its size. Is there a way to bypass these restrictions so that the TextView is 'drawn' even if parts of it will be off- screen?
If that's not possible, what's an alternative way of implementing this behavior?

In my android app development, I have one button, the button text is not a single color text, it is two lines text, with each line uses different color for line text. How to implement this? "Two lines" can be simply implemented by adding " " in the text, I don know how to set different colors for each line text on the button. Anyone can help?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I used the "one touch" root method that I found in these forums, I think it was from Alldroid. Anyway so now I can no longer multi touch to zoom. Anyone else notice this or have an idea for the fix?
Also I have no cursor while typing in this box...?
I used an iPod touch today and noticed the glass sphere that magnifies the area where you are trying to put the cursor... Is there a similar app for android as its really useful, especially on my milestone which doesnt have a trackball...

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make iPhone-style EditText element on android. The one that will have an additional clear button appear on the right after text input. Adding a new button is not a problem, but I'm a bit stuck with another thing.
A button occupies some space on the right part of EditText, and now characters display beneath the button. How to change maximum shown length of input for EditText? I want EditText width to be N pixels, and editable area to be N-M pixels.
EditText.setWidth changes width for whole edit box. EditText.setEllipsize should be the proper solution, but docs are empty, and as I see it truncates text based on some String value. Applying a LengthFilter cut's the input length to number of characters.
I currently using an iPhone but i just ordered a new nexus one. I'm just wondering, is there a way to transfer all my text messages from the iphone over to the nexus?
By the way, my iPhone is jailbroken so I can easily export the sms.db file where all the messages is stored.
I had an iPhone 4S but upgraded to the HTC.
For some reason I can't text people with an iPhone. I still have the 4S and I turned iMessage off. I went on the Apple Support site and looked at the devices and clicked the "X" to unregister my phone and my macbook.
Im still not able to receive texts from people with an iphone. I can send them messages but can not get them back. I am also able to send and receive calls.
This should be easy, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to zoom an ImageView. I have an ImageView inside of a ScrollView and a HorizontalScrollView. I floated a ZoomControls over the ImageView and now I'm trying to figure out how to actually zoom the image.
I was thinking I would just scale the Drawable inside of the ImageView, but I can't figure out an easy way to do this.
How should I be going about displaying an image that I can both zoom and scroll?
And yes, I know about WebViews, but it seems wasteful to load an entire WebView just to display one image.)
Is there an app or any way to get the magnifying glass for browsing through text like on the iPhone? It seems useful for editing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI read that many people in my situation can't text/ receive messages with iphone because of the tricky iMessage.
But my friend's iphone 4s cannot receive 20-50% of my texts, could it be a network issue?
My old Iphone 4s' mother board was dead so ofcourse I did not turn off iMessage.
I am a longtime iPhone user and I have recently been given a Samsung Galaxy S3 by my employer. In the past I have just used my old Android phone for Tethering with FoxFi so I can have web access at work on my laptop. I literally never made any phone calls with it for over 2 years. I have had the calls forwarded from my Verizon Android phone to my ATT iPhone since the day I got it.
Currently I have a (PERSONAL) iPhone 4 on AT&T with a 3G connection and I have this (WORK CELL) Samsung Galaxy 3 on Verizon 4G LTE.
I would like the ability to fully test out the S3 and leave the iPhone at home if I so choose. Call forwarding either way is not a problem at all. I can forward my iPhone personal calls to my work cell and I can forward my work cell calls to my iPhone (Currently this is how I have it). Call forwarding works great but I am looking for a way to handle text messages in a similar manner.
I would like to have the ability to send and receive text messages using my personal number from my Android Phone. I have Google Voice installed on both phones but I cant seem to get it to work at all or I am not setting it up correctly. I would not mind having texts show up on both devices or in my Gmail inbox. There has to be a way to do this. That way if I leave either phone at home it not a big deal I don't have to carry two phones. Nobody ever texts my work number, my only texts received are to my personal cell.
I'm new to android. I'm using webview in scrollview to display my local html page (html has text only). I created two buttons for zoomin and zoomout using behind function zoomIn() & zoomOut() respectively. These functions work fine. The problenm is, when I zoom in, some of the text goes out from both top and bottom and it doesn't appear when I scroll.

Overridden the onDraw() method and drawing the lines to show the routes whenever we zoom on the map, the lat-long is again drawn by calling onDraw()(Overridden) method , which has the geopoints with lat- lon values, and thus it becomes very slower process to display the map .. is there any better way to do this so that panning becomes faster as in "MyTracks"

I have a png and a jpg image on disk. I'd like to use any built-in intent (if any are available) to view the image (just a single one at a time). Something like this:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setImagePath("/blah/myimage.jpg");
startActivity(intent);
is there a built-in intent in android to do this, or do I have to write my own image viewing-activity? It would be cool if there was one that had panning/zooming as found in WebView.
If a user does a "pinch zoom" on the map, my overlays don't properly size until the end. This has been noted in other posts, so i assume it is a known issue.
Problem is, my client finds it totally unacceptable, as I am tasked with making the android app look as good as the iphone version.
Is there any way to correct this, even if it is a horrible hack? For instance, can I subclass the mapview and handle drawing or override some other method?
