I have created an expandable list in my Android application using the SimpleExpandableListAdapter type.But I'm at a complete loss as to how I detect events when one of the child entries has been selected/clicked.I've tried all the usual OnClickListener/OnChildClickListener etc, but can't seem to find (by experimentation, or half an hour googling) what the correct handler routines should be.

I'm trying to use Spinner as a button with selection pop-up. Basically I want an icon and when user clicks it - the popup list is displayed and user can make a selection. The Spinner happily accepts icon image as drawable background. Unfortunately when I select a value the text overlays the background. Is it possible to set selection text color as a transparent? Or maybe there's a better way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a Spinner to work in Android. It displays fine and I can select any one of the options in the list. But how do I transfer that to a string?I would have thought in the code below that 'selected' would hold the selected string, but I get an 'Illegal modifier for the local class YourItemSelectedListener; only abstract or final is permitted' error on the 'YourItemSelectedListener'.What am I doing wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to insert a new event (start time, end time, and event name) in the user's calendar. How can I do that? I have the impression, that the SDK does not have the API for it (yet), but the G1 has the APIs. Would the CalendarProvider class the way to go?

I have a Droid just running stock 2.0.1. What I am looking for is a photo/picture gallery app that simply let's you select the folders that you want to display in the app. I was fine with the stock gallery for awhile, but then I started getting a variety of apps that store pictures in various folders (the worst one being Touchdown for Exchange which puts almost every attachment in a new folder). The stock gallery now takes forever to load up, as it is loading a TON of folders with images in them. Really it makes it almost useless at this point. This was the main reason I switched to MixZing for audio, as it let me narrow my library down to the few folders that actually mattered.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'am looking for a way to have a webview content selectable in the very same way as the stock browser does.
I should note that Dolphin HD shows exactly the same text select functionality as the default browser (same icons, animation, etc), so it really should be possible. But I can't figure out how.Until now, all i found was this function, which kind of work, but doesn't allow the user to expand/shrink the selection.I just discovered that long touch copy/paste is part of HTC Sense, not Stock android. Still, it'd be useful to find out how to enable that on a webview, even just for HTC users. Anybody knows ?
I kind of have a 2 part question here.
1) How can I populate my ListView so that strings are what is displayed, but when items are selected, a non-visible id value (contact id from phone contacts) is the value that is actually used?
2) I have a ListView that's using multipleChoice mode for item selections. It's popluated with names from my contacts list. When I select an item in the ListView, I want that selected item to trigger a call to my SqLite routine to store the value into a database record. How do I make this event fire when an item is checked in the listview?I had hoped to be able to use something like the onClick event for each checked item, but have made not one bit of progress.
I'm trying to implement a copy/paste function. How can I get a selection of text from an EditText?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI hope, my issue would be clear for you from my question title. I have three linear layouts in each row of the list view. One linear layout contains an Imageview and the other two linear layout contains text views. These three linear layouts comprise my list view row. But, to my surprise, the listview default selection(orange colored) does not work when I move the trackball of mouse or when I select it from the phone.

My server's spam filter works pretty well, directing most of the spam to my Trash folder, and very little "real" mail. So when I look in my Trash folder I might have 30 messages, and 28 of them are spam. How do I select all 28 of them for deletion in one fell swoop, so I don't have to tediously delete each one one-at-a-time?

On my blackberry i was able to choose whether i wanted Month, Week, Day, or Agenda as my initial screen the calendar opens up to.
Am i able to do this on my Nexus One? I use the Agenda 99% of the time to see what class i have next along with whats ahead in my day. However whenever i open the app it always on the Month section and i can not figure out how to change that. I realize once I've selected agenda it will stay there for the next couple times if i exit it using the home key rather than the back key, however that only lasts for a little while.
How or have another calendar app recommendation. Im using Gcal.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just made the switch from WinMo to Android (Samsung Galaxy). I was wondering if there is a good program for repetitive text entry? I used TapText by DinarSoft on WinMo and that was great for tapping and it would enter preconfigured text - date, name, address - anything you wanted! Is there anything similar for Android? I've had a search but all I can find is stuff for texting/sms but this is for use in any program that has a text field.
View 2 Replies View RelatedStill grappling with the on-screen keyboard on my HTC Desire (came frmo BB).
One thing that continues to annoy me is that when I am entering longer strings of text (eg Facebook comments/status, emails) there is no way for me to go back in the text to change or correct something. I either have to backspace all the way there, or have to try and put the cursor there by touching the screen at just the right place - either my fingers are too big or the screen isn't sensitive enough as I can never get this right.
why can't there be up/down/left/right arrows to move the cursor within the text entry box?
And another thing - there are some entry fields where the keyboard pops up and actually obscures the text entry box other than the first line and you can't see what you're typing.
I'd like to query the contacts and create an RDF model (FOAF to be exact) from the data received. Therefore it would be necessary to know what kind of data I'm dealing with.
I'll need the following information about each contact: name, phone number(s), email address(es), IM ID(s) + corresponding IM service.
I thought that the best way to get this information was via the ContactsContract.Data table. So my query looks like this:
code:...........
Cursor contactsTable = managedQuery(contactsURI, projection, where, whereArgs, null); </code>
(I need the DATA_VERSION to know if updating the model is necessary.)
Now I'd like to go through the table and add properties to my model for each entry. Therefore I'd need to know if the row I'm currently reading contains a name, an email address, a phone number or an IM ID (it would be best if I could also get information about the IM service the ID belongs to).
Is it possible to get the CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE or anything like that? Or should I perform a single query for each type and then connect the information via the CONTACT_ID?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to implement my first android Program. It should write calendar entries (I know, not the best task to begin programming Andorid).
I've tried...
According to my insert method accessing the calendar worked.
The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.
Much improvement for sure !
That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost;
I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.
This is what I'd like to share;
- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database.
When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:
CODE:.........
When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.
A couple of additional observations;
- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ?
- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ...
- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:
CODE:.........
Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK.
Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);
How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?
is there a way to change the default orange selection color/image? I'd like to do this app wide and it would be nice not to have to do it for every control!
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a spinner selection box on my activity, but now I want to remove the spinner from the main view and make the selection available by an option from the menu button. How do I get the dialog the spinner shows if I click it without having the spinner? Currently I fill the spinner using a SimpleCursorAdapter like this:
Cursor c = db.fetchAllSets();
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, c, new String[] { DatabaseAdapter.SET_KEY_NAME }, new int[] { android.R.id.text1 });
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mSetsSpinner.setAdapter(adapter);
So now I'm planning to remove the spinner from my activity, add a new button to the menu and in the onOptionsItemSelected(...) show a dialog with the list of available selection - just the way it is right now after clicking the spinner object.
When in text msg mode, I want to select and use the Android Keypad. However, the only keypad types available from the list are:Qwerty, 3x4, Handwriting Box 1, & Handwriting Box 2.How can I select the Android keypad so I can do voice texting?

I've checked my "main.xml" and the text associated to the buttons are referneced correctly. I added trim to make sure of that. However, all that is ever returned in the toast is "none." What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
