Android :: How To Create A Custom Control / Buttons Inline?
Dec 22, 2009
I have a need to create a control similar to UITabBar in iPhone, which is to be present on every activity of my application. UITabBar essentially is a battery of buttons exhibiting a TAB like behavior: every button maps to an activity. I have two solutions for this: 1. In the layout XML for every activity, I insert a <LinearLayout><Button/><Button/><Button/></LinearLayout> element. And then have a common listener class that will handle the button clicks. So, every activity will have an instance of this listener. 2. To create a custom Widget extending LinearLayout class, put all the buttons as its static members and let it handle the button clicks. Include this custom control in every screen. I am not sure which approach to follow.

I'm trying to develop a very specific app for my Dell Streak. I want the entire app to run landscape. The Streak has a tilt function that switches the whole OS to a landscape 800x480.
So I want to make an ADT to test in that uses an 800x480 display, but whenever I set the size I get no buttons. The Streak has a Home, Menu and Back button aswell as volume/mute and power, and I need to use some of them for my application.
I'm not worried about the tilting messing up my application. Not yet, anyway. Just need the test environment the right size and with buttons.

The volume control on my Droidx sis locked and can no longer be controlled by the buttons on the side of the phone. I've searched for any other post on this problem and can't find a solution. Anyone know how to restore that behavior?

The footprints and clock app on a HTC sense phones use a slider control on the bottom buttonbar (see this movie for an example code...
From the hierarchy viewer I can see that they use a custom control for this. I'm looking for a way to achieve the same effect. I want a buttonbar on the bottom of my app with a movable selector which I can drag from left to right and back, thereby selecting the different tabs.
Can anyone give some tips on how I might achieve this? Which layout controls could I use for this purpose? I know how to create the tabs and the button bar, but I'm a bit puzzled on the sliding selector.

I want to create a search box with the search button directly on the right of the EditText, without any spacing. Looks like the address bar on the internal Browser application. Is it possible or do I need to create it myself?

I am trying to mimic buttons (Apps, Games, Downloads) as seen in Android Market application Checking the configuration of TabWidget, I think it's not possible to create this simple design with it. I decided to use simple buttons and try to create custom design following answer to similar question. But still I cannot clone the design (gradient, divider, bottom line etc). Are there any provided details how Google Android applications are built?

In my app I want to create something like this: I thought to put five buttons inside a linear layout, but the problem is how to show the inner items at run time. Every time i click on a button i want to show the proper items and hide the others.

Is there any documentation that explains how to create buttons in the style of the new market app on the top of the screen? I'm not sure if they're actually buttons or tabs, but I want to recreate that button style in my app (flat gradient buttons that dynamically fill the entire height/width depending on orientation).

I'm reading the android docs on custom component development and i'm a little confused. If you're creating an activity, you can add add a hierarchy of views via setContent. however, if you're creating a custom component, you have to handle everything in the draw() overload.if i want to build a custom component that relies on a view hierarchy, is the model simply to create a hierarchy internally and then in draw call myViewHierarchy.Draw() or something?

I understand how to create a custom Android control, and I believe I understand how to pull attributes for it from the Xml layout. I don't know, however, how to get any children elements from it. Here's a visual example of what I'm trying to accomplish: public class Menu extends LinearLayout. When my Menu is created, how do I get references to the two MenuItems. Code...

I've created a combo box control with a edittext and spinner. I'm trying to let the android:prompt attribute be passed onto the spinner, which means I need to catch it in the constructor which passes my the AttributeSet and set it on the spinner. I can't figure out how to get the value of the prompt.
I get back 0, which means it didn't find the attribute.I also did a ta.count() which returned 0. So I'm not getting anything back.My XML simply defines an android:prompt value.

I currently have implemented an overlayitem that shows an icon for geopoint on a map application in Android. When the icon is clicked, it brings up an AlertDialog from the onTap method below.Does anyone know how to display a map message bubble directly above the icon overlayitem with 2 callout buttons one to the left of the title and one to the right of the bubble? Does anyone know how to make the overlayitem draggable so I can press and hold it and drag it across the map. I am trying to duplicate the draggable icon behavior that's available on the iPhone.

I need to create fixed size sqare buttons with relatively large characters on them for a calculator app.
When I increase text size, the character is no more displayed in the center of the button and the button's position gets shifted some pixels to the top (very strange).

how do I get all buttons equallly arranged with centered text?

I've just started playing with Android in the last few days and have begun to put together a simple application. I am struggling to work out whether I'm doing things the "right" way or just making life difficult for myself.The app displays a series of connected nodes on the screen, similar to a mind-map. I want to be able to tap the nodes in order to edit them. When the map of nodes becomes larger than the screen, I need to be able to scroll on both X and Y axes as needed to see the whole map. Image of current implementation at http://ubergeek.org.uk/images/nodetest.png.Currently I don't have scrolling working, however I assume that I can do that by making the root view a ScrollView and sticking an AbsoluteLayout inside that (though it's deprecated, I wish to place objects at specific X/Y coordinates).The nodes themselves are currently each a pair of roundrects (one for the outline and one for the fill) and a drawText and are being drawn in the main activity's onDraw(). In order to make these clickable buttons I believe I need to create a custom view for the button in order to use its onClick() events. I can then create a view object for each of my nodes and add them to the AbsoluteLayout view.Does this sound like a reasonable way to do it in Android, or is this a horrible abuse of the API?

I have an ExpandableListView that I want to populate with my custom views of type NoteView. NoteView extends LinearLayout and contains two buttons and a checkbox. I have almost everything working, the NoteView's are being populated with backing data, the lists are getting filled, and the buttons are clickable and perform the required tasks.
The problem is the ExpandableListView no longer responds to click/longclick/keypress events at all (other than selecting list items with trackball/DPAD).
I replaced my custom view with a standard TextView and the touch events flowed normally again, so it is almost certainly something I am doing wrong with my custom view or some obscure ListView setting I am overlooking.
Here is my NoteView code and XML Layout. What am I missing?

I am looking for a code-heavy way of controlling an android phone with scripts. For example, can you hook your android up to your PC and then control it virtually as if you were doing everything with your finger using scripts?
In my mind I imagine the code would look something like this (this is fake code):
1. var i = 30px;
2. Touch the screen at coordinates x, y;
3. Scroll to cords x, y minus i;
4. Touch the screen at cords x, y;
5. Swipe to cords x + 80, y;
6. Single click cords x, y;
7. if (cords x, y = rgb(0, 0-255,0) { //aka a shade of green
8. var count = count++ }

Most of the tablets with android 3+ have this large black bar at the bottom. I'm not sure how it is called but I mean this bar where the clock, back and home button and the notification icons are on.
On the middle area of this bar there is always much space depending on the number of notifications on the right.
My idea was to use this space for shortcuts to apps or tasker tasks. Just like in windows the Quick Launch Toolbar on the task bar.
But until now I haven't found any solution.
Here is what I have:
I'm using tasker scenes to build my own shortcut buttons. Then I displayed these buttons as always on top and half transparent directly on the screen in the normal application display area. It seems that tasker is not able to display these buttons over the system bar. So this isn't a complete solution of my problem since the free display space on the bar is still not in use.
On the other hand I do know that it must be possible to program apps which are overlayed on the system bar since other apps can be placed over it.
Anyway... I'm searching for a clean solution to get shortcuts on the system bar to start apps or tasker tasks with one click or touch.

PreferenceManager 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.

Is there a way to get alert dialog results inline (like you can with most dialogs)? I want to determine what to do next inwith a dialog, but I can't figure out how to get the results back in the same method that I create the dialog from thus allowing me to continue in my logic flow.
void doStuff() { dlg = CreateDialog() dlg.show(); // shows the dialog and doesn't return till the dialog is dismissed
if dlg.getResults() == this) { doThis(); } else { doThat(); }
}
