I want to refer to a static Java variable in my styles.xml, is that possible? Here's a pseudo-xml example:
<style name="Artwork">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/border_{Constants.MY_COLOR}</item>
</style>
I want to clear variable value when will i close activity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed in my application(s) that after a call to Activity.finish() that the static variables that I declared in my classes still hold the values that they were changed to during the activity's life cycle. Upon the re-launch of the activity, the program does not re-instantiate the variables as declared or set them to the default java behavior. Is there something that I can do to cause this to happen, other than re-setting every static variable in my application?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI seriously need help with a quite strange problem. I created a client which communicates with a server. Therefore, I have three classes. An activity providing a nice dialog to configure some data, a background service which checks the connection status periodically and a server class which handles the socket connection. Originally, the background service owned a server connection object but because I could not manage to provide data from the activity to the service, I decided to create the server connection class as singleton. The user is now able to change data in the activity (IP, Port, Username, Password) which shall be transmitted to the server object, if the save button is pressed. The data is read correctly, the activity calls the setter of the server class and the logcat also says that this data is correctly applied to the variable that stores the data in the server class. However, if I try to start the socket connection still the old values are stored in my variables although they've been overwritten before. What I am doing wrong, or how can I fix this?

I am having a static method .In the method when I decalare a variable , it was showing an error in eclipse saying that the variable should be decalared as final.
Can I know the reason for this , y should a variable in a static method be declared as final? I am writng an Android application where I should pass as an argument current Context of that application. So, when I pass the current context to the method and trying to copy it in a local variable , I am getting this error saying that the variable should be declared as final.
My method is like this:

I have been facing problems to manage statics variables used in my android application. If we exit the application against a particular event (touch or key event -which is must for my app), all the statics variables are retaining the values when I am launching it again. I am invoking Activity.finish() method for termination . I know there is a collection type class available called Bundle and we can use it to save the states of all the statics and get those back when again creating the same activity during relaunch, but it would be a hard task if we want to port some j2me applications to Android because of having thousands of statics variables. Is there any way to kill the application completely including all the statics variable used there?
I tried with System.exit(0) and it works well for Android G1 and G2 (tested in firmware 1.6). But in Android Robyn (prototype) the same causes a major defect ("Activity not responding" popup apears just after exit) and I came to know from android dev forum that calling System.exit(0) is not recommended for termination of an activity.

But I want to completely clear everything inside a shared preference file, not just the values, but the preferences they refer to as well.
Is copying the reference to the object and not the value of the object. Meaning, when I modify pos.top or pos.bottom, the original object gets modified. I'm guessing I am missing a concept of pass object by reference vs value here which I thought I understood. What is the fix here? Is it a problem with how I defined my custom class?

I try to explain what I mean.
I have an application version as string value in strings.xml I can get its value from every android activity, but not from help java classes withought giving context What I do now, is saving it in a static variable of my first activity, but it seems, that sometimes it will be erased and set to null.
I want to create an app widget that could take up a different number of "cells" on the home screen, but I don't think that the app widget framework easily supports this. I know that an app widget can have a configuration screen, and I'd like the user to be able select a sort of small, medium, or large size for the widget as part of my configuration activity. Unfortunately, I don't think that this is possible, correct? Based on the minWidth and minHeight properties, the Launcher app will assign a number of cells that I can't configure at run time.
For instance, if I want a weather widget that has a current, hourly and weekly format that take up 1, 2, and 4 cells respectively, I can't do this at run time. Instead, I believe my only option is to export 3 different widgets and have them all listed in the widget picker dialog as something like "Weather - current conditions", "Weather - hourly forcast", and "Weather - week long forcast".
I want to create a global variable store for a list of user defined objects. I have a LinkedList of Feed (a user defined object) that I need to be made available to a new Activity that is created. This list is displayed using a ListView and so when an item of the ListView is clicked, I need the correct Feed index to be 'passed' to the new Activity. I have no problem doing this as I create an Intent and then pass the id of the selected row. I need the new Activity to have access to the LinkedList of Feed objects.
There are different ways to do this (explained here - http://code.google.com/android/kb/framework.html). I want to use the option (quoted from link above): The android.app.Application class The android.app.Application is a base class for those who need to maintain global application state. It can be accessed via getApplication() from any Activity or Service. It has a couple of life- cycle methods and will be instantiated by Android automatically if your register it in AndroidManifest.xml.
I want to use the above method as I could then fill the LinkedList at application start and then use it throughout without any duplicates etc. Does anyone know how the android.app.Application class can be used as a global variable store that can be accessed from other classes? I cannot find any more information on this method of passing information between Activities within a single application. Any information regarding passing user defined objects would be useful and specifically how to get the above idea to work.
I'm working on an Android application that has several Activities. In it I have a class with several static methods. I would like to be able to call these methods from the different Activities. I'm using the static methods to load data from an xml file via a XmlResourceParser. To create a XmlResourceParser requires a call on the Application Context. So my question is, what is the best way to get a reference to the Application Context into the static methods? Have each Activity get it and pass it in? Store it somehow in a global variable?

i want to display a msg to the user (msg box or Toast) when exception happend in a static SQLite Database class that i use. the problem is that i cant call a non static method in a static class , how can i handle this. this is the class
private static SQLiteDatabase getDatabase(Context aContext) {
and i want to add something like this in the class when exception happen but context generates the problem of reference to non static in static class.
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Hello toast!";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
I'm having some issues with the old "Cannot make a static reference to a non-static method" error in my Android program. I am creating a sand falling game (similar to the Powder Game) and I created a class called Control to create a Control Bar at the bottom of the screen with a slider for brush size (that works fine) and a button to pop up a Dialog to allow users to pick the selected element. However, when I call DemoActivity.showDialog(2) from my code, it gives the static reference to non-static error (DemoActivity is the main activity of my application). I also tried changing it to just Activity.showDialog(2), but I got exactly the same error!
Here's my code:

I fixed it by adding the following to my Control.java code:

And then calling control.setActivity(this); from my onResume section of DemoActivity.java!

Is there any way to pass values(strings or bundles) to another application while calling it via intents, and also return some information (mostly string)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've just published my first paid app to the Market and I used the new LVL with the default ServerManagedPolicy. On working through the docs and getting it set up I noted the references to the server response extras VT, GT, GR & UT, and the impression I got from quotes such as "a typical value would be 5 or more days.", "a typical value would be "10" or higher." etc., was that we would have some way of setting these server response values per app when we upload them to the Market. Either I'm missing something, or there does not seem to be a way to set these in the Developer Console that I can see? If we can't set these, it's not really a 'managed' policy at all, but a random 'whatever the server decides to respond with' policy, particularly given the vagueness of the documentation.
I really hate phone home licensing, and am only using it because it seems to be the only option to combat Android piracy. Ideally I want to just check once when the app is first launched, once a day or two later to check they didn't return it, then cache that for 6 months (forever?) to minimize disruption to my users. Is this kind of thing possible with the ServerManagedPolicy or do I have the wrong end of the stick about the 'management' features and have to roll my own? On a side note, if I can't buy my own app, how can I test my licensing is working in the wild? I got several 'NOT_LICENSED' responses in testing even when I set it to return 'LICENSED' in the console, so I'm not 100% convinced of its stability and want to actually see how well it works outside the testing environment, but apparently can't buy my own app to do so!
I have Eclipse Juno and I'm working on an app with that.
The main activity will have a scrollable menu that takes you to all the other activities.
So the general structure/outline right now:[HIGH]Relative Layout ImageView (header logo type thing) ListView (the actual scrollable menu)[/HIGH]Here's the problem though... I can't find any simple list tutorials. I can easily make a single line list work but I need to make a two line list and one that is static, not dynamic and no examples are out there for that. It's like if you want to make a 2 line list, you can only learn how to do it in the most code-heavy ridiculous way possible.
Essentially what I am looking for with the list is this: Item one: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Resources)
- Item two-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
- Item ??: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Tools)
- Item ??-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
Nothing dynamic that is ever going to change, no super complex wonkey calculations, just to simply have the data set in stone (preferably via XML) and to call it into the list.
I experimented with some of the other list views and no matter what I did, I could get, via editing the resources and NOT using Java, more that one item on a single line but it wouldn't format it properly according to the layout I guess because I haven't got the ID correct or whatever I don't know.
I mean, all the examples I've seen for a 2 line list are extraordinarily over-coded and just bloated. I mean I have a website I am still working on in C#/ASP.net that has far more complex things in it with half the code that I've seen for the examples of the two line lists.
I tried on my own to figure it out (I am decent with C# and vaguely familiar with Java, self taught, and programming for some other systems like Python, again all self-taught), but like ALL coding references, they're organised by the actual code you implement (that you don't know) instead of by what you want it to do (so you have to search the whole code base to find something that you don't know what it's called but know what it does). >:C

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been finding it convenient to extend Handler in many of my activities to handle messages specific to the activity. The handler sublass is an inner class of the activity and needs to access its state. I am wondering if there is any performance difference between making the handler subclass static and passing in the activity explicitly in its constructor or making the subclass an "instance class" and letting the vm worry about my accessing members of the containing activity.
The static approach:

I am thinking to create a static method to return a reference to the application instance. I am not sure if it is safe to assume there is only one instance of the Application in one application. Apparently, the Application class in Android SDK doesn't provide such method to return the instance reference. So I suspect there must be a reason?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my application, I am going to create a few listviews that are dependent on the listview before it. For example,Then, depending on user choice, will go next screen, let's say, it contains a submenu of each type of school,that may be different or may be the same to other states.What I want to know, is how to populate these different lists dynamically as the user goes on? I don't know what the best of doing this is, and I seem to be looking in the all the wrong places because I keep getting stuck. Once all the data is added into whatever structure is used, it will be static. I basically just need help as to how to code information into some sort of hashtable or anything of the sort that can be easily referenced, and later when the Application is updated, be able to add more schools/states/submenus etc.
