View 2 Replies View RelatedI know how to create and apply styles and themes thanks to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html. However, this method only works for our own activity or application. I'd like to create themes that could dress the whole system (i.e. all activities). Of course, I'd like to select one of these theme by programing. If I could customize the status bar as well, it would be perfect. I didn't find out documentation about that.

new ContextMenu() or new Menu() (I know that's an interface, so obviously that won't work).
My app creates a lot of TextView objects and this turns out to be really slow. A look at the traceview output reveals that the bulk of the time is spent in the TextView methods that grab all the default parameters from /res and /util. The thing is, all my TextViews share 99% of these parameters. Is it possible to clone a TextView rather than create one from scratch? If not, what about if I created a pool of TextView objects and reused them?
Just to give some context, I'm generating a spreadsheet to show some data provided from an online source and the spreadsheet can be as big as 20 columns by 50 rows = 1000 cells, each with a TextView. It takes about 25 seconds just to create 1000 TextViews on my Moto Droid.
How to create a custom themes and use it in the code? in menu how to implement theme option and apply for the activity?Please Help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to make my Android Application look a little bit sexier but as I don't have knack for design I was wondering if there are other themes that are available for importing into your Android app (like the Dark and Light themes that come with SDK)? I do not expect a Theme that would make Android app look like an iPhone app, but anything that would help me move in that direction is a welcome suggestion (and please don't go with "you can create theme on your own").
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create themes for Nemus launcher and so far am struggling to find ou the package names for many apps (some default Samsung Note,SGS2 apps and some Market installed) ,,,,, is thr a simpler way to find out the names of these apps so that can assign Icons to them by replacing the "." in the name with a "_" .
I tried to use Astro ->Application manager for this and used the name of the package as displayed in the App manager but it doesn't seem to work when i apply that Icon in my themes.....
I have never rooted before and I am about to give it a whirl. I am not worried about the consequences really, I feel pretty confident I can follow directions. My only issue is, after browsing these forums I am completely lost on what rom to use! I see some people saying beast and various other custom roms, then I see some saying "vanilla" Froyo is the way to go.
1) What rom SHOULD a first timer use?
2) Where do you find it?
3) What is the most newb friendly rom loader?
4) Can I use any of these custom themes I see with any custom rom or do I need the "vanilla"?
5) Does WiFi work in all of the Froyo roms now?
6) Are there a list of known issues with specific custom roms available or even "vanilla" froyo?
7) Will my purchased apps that are updated to work in 2.2 work?
Given that us Galaxy users are ROM strapped just wondering what your personal experiences with custom themes are: In particular:
GDE
OpenHome
aHome
In terms of LAG being a major issue and customization. Watched several youtube videos of demo's but would like to have some first hand, not a G1, or a droids take on it.
I'm running pete's BBv.4 with the Blue Energy theme. I'm new to this whole rooting thing. How do the themes get those custom launchers? Are the themes suppose to automatically do that or do you need another app like Launcher Pro?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPreferenceManager contains very useful methods like "registerOnActivityResultListener" which enables you to call startActivityForResult in your custom preference like RingtonePreference does but it's restricted at the package level.So tell me, let's say I wanted a ImagePreference. How should I proceed? I want to be able to use a activity for result intent with the PICK action.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a component using an xml layout file. I defined a layout with some custom attributes. This layout is inflated when user add it inside another layout. My problem is I don't know the parent, so I pass null for the parent viewgroup when I call inflate method. I think that's the reason why I see anything in my view. Do you know how can I do (I don't want to redefine onDraw method because I use existing component). Below my xml layout and my custom class.

public ButtonOptionsView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
