Has anyone used the sliding drawer widget? I'm trying to get the widget to slide out from top to bottom, but right now it only seems to support bottom to top or right to left. Any suggestions on how to get it to slide out from the top?

I tried to construct SlidingDrawer widget programmatically, but had no luck. The JavaDoc says the constructor needs "AttributeSet attrs" parameter, which is "a specified set of attributes defined in XML".
I provided my own implementation of AttributeSet interface, with all the attributes mentioned in JavaDoc, but got a weird ClassCastException - it seems that it assumes the attrs parameter is of type TypedArray, which seems to be impossible to use as base class (constructor hidden). Is there a way to construct SlidingDrawer programmatically and what is the correct contract to use it ? It is no way clear from the documentation.
I've looked in many places, but I cant find a decent tutorial on how to make a SlidingDrawer for my application.
Say i already have an XML file, and i want to add a sliding drawer to it..i also want to add a textview and listview object, and some buttons in it...how would i go about doing that?
Is there any way to set my sliding drawer on top of other elements in my layout? I have an ImageView which is intended for an album art and I would like to have a sliding drawer overlay at the bottom of that ImageView.

I have a SlidingDrawer that pops up from the bottom of the screen and fills the screen about 80%. Even though the SlidingDrawer view is in focus, it is still possible to click on items, buttons and other elements in the view that is behind the SlidingDrawer. When SlidingDrawer is active/pulled up/in focus, I want to disable the entire view behind it so it will not be able to recieve clicks and touches. Is there a good way to disable an entire view? I have tried setEnable(false) and setClickable(false) but neither of them work.

I'm currently having trouble with a SlidingDrawer. I want it to be closed when the application starts so it doesn't get in the way. However, it is determined that it will be open, despite putting slide.close() in the onCreate() of my activity. It seems to be closed if i use slide.animateClose() instead, but this slows my application down loads.
How do I make it closed by default? code...
What I want to carry out is that the handle of the SlidingDrawer will be dragged by my finger, and when My finger leaves the screen, the handle of the SlidingDrawer will be just stop there and don't slide to top or bottom.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using a slidingDrawer in my application that has its handler placed at the bottom when in portrait mode. When the user switches to landscape mode (widescreen) I would like to have the handler located on the left. When I change the orientation from vertical to horizontal, the handler is placed on the right.
I have defined my layout XML like this:
<SlidingDrawer
android:id="@+id/l_drawer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:handle="@+id/l_handle"
android:content="@+id/l_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="left>
Anyone have an idea for how to make it slide from left to right ?
I'm trying to change the icon on the handle when i try to open the slidingdrawer.
When I extract the handle from the view and sets the onclicklistener or ontouchlistener it seems to never get trigget.code...
I was hoping this code should log "onClick" message, but it doesn't. Any ideas?
I cant find a way to set the orientation on my SlidingDrawer when i change from landscape mode to portrait mode visa versa. Initially i set the orientation by xml to vertical. I need to change the orientation to horizontal when the phone is in landscape mode, so i get the handle on the left.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOne of the things I liked about Sense (I'm rooted now and running the Second Wave ROM) was the HTC weather animations when the screen was unlocked. After installing Widget Locker, I noticed an option to turn them on and now I have them back! I also installed the Weather & Toggle Widget and installed the weather skin that looks just like the Sense weather with the flip clock.The annoying part is that when it's sunny, or partly sunny, the "sun animation" from Sense doesn't perfectly align with the Weather & Toggle Widget weather icon. I know, I know, it's a minor problem and goes away when the animation is done, but the lack of symmetry sometimes annoys the hell out of me.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to pass the same touch events on one widget to the other so they both scroll at the same time and in same way. I have two Gallery widgets one above and one below. If the above one is scrolled then I want to pass the same touch event to the bottom widget so it also scrolls the same way.I have tried to use dispatchtouchevent events but I am facing an issue where in if the bottom gallery widget has some edit text then the edit text gets the key event and both widgets doesnt scroll anymore.I have tried to set focussable and editable to false on edittext even then it gets the touch events.I think I am going in the right direction. However I need some assistance in doing the right way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can create a static widget without thinking, I can even create a widget like the analogue clock widget that will update itself, however, I can not for the life of me figure out how to create a widget that reacts to when a user clicks on it. Here is the best code sample that the developer documentation gives to what a widget activity should contain (the only other hint being the API demos, which only creates a static widget):
public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.appwidget_provider_layout);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);................
I basically want a widget which has a simlar layout as the twitter widget.As you can see the tweet text nicely wraps around the AUTHOR element. This can be done with one TextView using the following method: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#sele.The problem is that its a widget and i only have access to the ui elements using the RemoteViews.I was thinking of using a layout manager for this, but its impossible because textviews are always rectangular.So how do i do this? I know you helped twitter build their application.

I realise this list is also showing facebook contacts as well as google contacts but even the non-facebook contacts are doubled up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for an agenda tool/widget for my Android phone. I've narrowed it down to these two (PLEASE don't post suggesting other alternatives!! And note that I don't mean the Pure Grid version!). I've been searching for half an hour, but I can not find anything that compares these 2 apps or shows any diffs between them. The best I've seen is comments like " beats hands down", with no explanation as to WHY.As far as I can see, for my purposes (using Google Calendar & Astrid), the only difference between the 2 is the PRICE! Both come in numerous widget sizes, both integrate with Astrid & Google, both are scrollable, both are skinnable. So why choose one over the other? (Or, really, why choose Pure Calendar over Android Agenda, given that the latter is free?) I wish I could just test both out but the Pure widget series has no demos
