Android :: Views And Their Child Views - How To Avoid The Ugly - Boxes - When Child Views In A View Has Another Color Than Background

Jan 6, 2010

I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.

The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.

The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.

What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

Android :: How To Align Views At Bottom Of Screen?

Mar 5, 2010

What this looks like is on the left and what I want it to look like is on the right.The obvious answer is to set the TextView to fill_parent on height but this causes no room to be left for the button or entry field. Essentially the issue is that I want the submit button and the text entry to be a fixed height at the bottom and the text view to fill the rest of the space, similarly in the horizontal Linear layout I want the submit button to wrap its content and for the text entry to fill the rest of the space.If the first item in a Linear Layout is told to fill_parent it does exactly that, leaving no room for other items, how do I get an item which is first in a linear layout to fill all space apart from the minimum required by the rest of the items in the layout?

Android :: How Can Update The All The Views Inside A TabHost When Pressing On A ContextMenu Item From Within One Of The Views

Nov 16, 2010

I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.

i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.

Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.

How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?

Android :: Switching Views With RadioButton And Saving Views In Bundle

Mar 6, 2010

I have the following XML code:.................

The idea is to change the views, whenever I press one of the radio buttons. When I press a button the first time everything works out fine, but the second time I press a button, I get an IllegalStateException, and I can't quite see why I'm getting this.

Also, the Activity seems to set all my global variables to null, which is why I have to create them every time I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa. So I would like to know if there is a way I can save my views in the Bundle, or any other way in which I can permanently save my views, so I don't have to add or create them every time, I flip the phone. And whenever I flip the phone, it seems that it rereads the main XML file, causing the RadioGroup to be set to 2D even if the 3D button is checked. This is because I've said the 2D button to be checked from when the app is first created, but I would like to also save the state of that RadioGroup.

Android :: Do Root Views Of An Activity In Android Have Any Prior Knowledge Of The Child Views That Will Be Loaded Into Them

Jan 25, 2010

Is there any way to query a root view of an activity for all of its child views even before the root view or its children have been inflated? I guess what I'm looking for is whether a view knows ahead of time what children it will have before it gets inflated, and can I get that list in some way. Bizarre I realize, but I think it will help me with some unconventional automation testing I'm working on. I haven't found anything in the API like this.

Android :: Activities Vs Views

Jul 8, 2010

I am working on an Android app that has multiple screens the user will need to navigate between and I am curious what the best practices are when switching between those screens. I am torn between creating a new Activity for each screen and simply changing the view (setContentView(R.layout.whatever)). The screens all share at least some variable values so I'm leaning toward changing views and using class level variables, but I'm worried a single activity could become very large and confusing with logic for multiple screens in a single file. I'd like to keep the code clean and separated, but I also don't want to be passing several variables around between views if that isn't needed.Being new to Android development, I'm hoping some more experienced members of the community could share their thoughts and let me know how best to handle it

Android :: Getting My Views To Re-draw?

Oct 3, 2010

I have a set of views that are populated with data from an online database. The context menu has a "refresh" choice that re-reads the online database and updates some attributes of the views, like setText and setChecked for some buttons. After the various setTexts and such, I invalidate the Views. However, they are not immediately redrawn. In fact, they don't get redrawn at all unless something like a rotation happens to cause a redraw of the screen. How can I initiate an immediate redraw after the refresh is complete?

Android :: How To Animate Views

Jul 26, 2010

I'm working on a game that in some ways is similar to Tetris (imagine a 2D array of colored squares that sometimes move around)

I am trying to animate the individual squares so they will smoothly slide down from coordinate to the next. Since I wanted to use Android's built-in tweening feature, the animation has to apply to the whole View (rather than parts of it). This doesn't work well for me because I only want some of the colored squares to slide down, and the rest of them to stay still.

The (theoretical) solution I came up with to resolve this is to make 2 Views, layered directly on top of each other. The top view is for animating squares when they need to move, and the bottom layer is for the static squares. The animation-layer is transparent until I am ready to animate something. I then simply turn on the colored square in the animation-layer, tween it to the new location, and turn it back off when done. In the same time span, the static-layer just turns squares on and off at the right time to make the whole thing look seamless to the end user.

The proposed solution is just a theory, since I haven't been able to make it work correctly yet. Since I have been having trouble, I was wondering if this is even the best way to solve the problem? Perhaps there is a more elegant solution that I am over looking?

Android :: Scrolling Between Views?

Oct 3, 2010

I'm currently working on a game for android.

I have three ImageView's next to each other, they're positioned next to each other using the "android:layout_toRightOf". The views are located within a RelativeLayout tag. Each of these views are centered into the middle of the screen using "android:scaleType="fitCenter"" and they fill the entire screen.

I'm attempting to implement a horizontal scroll from one view to another so that I basically get one view on my screen at a time.

Here is the code that I'm currently using

CODE:................

What I'm currently getting is three images next to each other -- but sometimes they take up less then an entire screen. I want both the left and right padding to be correct, so that I can only see one image at a time.

Android :: SimpleCursorAdapter.bindView - And Row Views

Oct 22, 2009

I have a problem with bindView() that has me puzzled. I am using it to customize each row, including setting icons, coloring the background and setting up listeners for buttons. It mostly works as expected, but not quite.

When I fill the ListView with SimpleCursorAdapter, I get multiple calls to bindView() for position 0, but only 1 call for the other rows. The problem is that when all is said and done, I have 2 rows (LinearLayout) created for position 0. Here is a sample log extract:

CODE:........

I use a view holder class to hold the view, position and other data so that when a button is clicked, I can retrieve the holder with view.getParent.getTag(). This all works fine. The problem is that there are two views for position 0, but it's the first one in the above logcat that seems to be displayed. My code which acts on the rows when a button is clicked (especially setting background color) does not reliably hit the position 0 row that is actually displayed.

I can see what's happening but I am at a loss about what to do about it. Why are two view created for position 0? Is it something that I can control? How? If not, how should I deal with it so that the results when I modify the views are predictable?
