When I click the home screen, android pops up a 'selection dialog' (i am not sure what is the technical term) to ask me to add 'Widget',Shortcut', 'Folder'.Can you please tell me how to pop up those kind of selection dialog?Where can I find example for that?

I 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.
I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields.
The problem I'm facing is that when the user starts typing something into the AutoCompleteTextView, the list with all suggestions only shows up to the bottom end of the dialog, but doesn't go beyond that even the list is longer. It looks like it's cut off. (screenshot left)
Only after I long-press an item from the suggestion list, the list will be shown in full length. (screenshot right)
Screenhot is at: http://img704.imageshack.us/i/dialogdropdown.png/
How to fix this behaviour so that the list shows in full length right from the beginning, when the user starts typing something?
Code-wise there's nothing special, all I do is:
CODE:..........
One workaround idea is to somehow dispatch a motion event to simulate a touch (but then not selecting though) one of the list items. Any concrete idea in code for a solution.
i wanted to create a dynamic multi selection alert dialog, currently it only supports for hard coded values i think ?... i have tried several ways and very much unsuccessful till now .. i am fetching the values in JSON format and converting to JSONArray. but how to input this to builder.setMultiChoiceItems, because it takes only itemId from xml, cursor, or charsequence. i tried all ways i can think of for chaging the array to charsequence.. eclipse did not showed the error but app crashed in android throwing the cast exception ...
below is the code, any help / suggestion would highly help !! thankyou!.. (i am new to both java and andriod)........................
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 having a problem about repeating Login dialog (an AlertDialog) and progress dialog, coordinating with http thread. I suppose repetitive Login dialog (if fail, continue) handling should be common and straightforward. I guess my approach must be wrong somewhere. I already spent 2 days on this and am desperate. So please help. User starts the app, the main activity starts.Show a login dialog (generated by the main thread, i.e. from on Create. The main thread then starts a wait_thread, which will wait for http to return data and check the data and decide what to do.After user input username/password and press login, a progress dialog starts.The progress dialog starts an http_thread to talk to the server and get replies. Once done, it will notify the waiting thread.If the user type in the right username password first time, the code works fine.But it always fail for 2nd time Login, i.e. When first login fail(wrong username/ password),the wait_thread will generate 2nd Login dialog to let user repeat the login process. But after user hit the login on this 2nd Login dialog, the system always crashes.

My question is how to implement this Similar result by extends dialog or alertDialog.
I'm trying to get my list view to open up an alert dialog to display information when a person clicks on a selection. I have been trying several different things on the Google Developers website that have to do with this but have yet to come up with a result. Here is my code. package table.periodic;
import android.app.Activity; import android.app.AlertDialog; import android.app.Dialog; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;...........
how to create an Alert dialog in a dialog? is it possible to create? My requirement is to show mulitple dialogs simultaneously. I tried creating with the following code snippet onClick of a Button in the first Dialog and got an "BadToken" exception from WindowManager: "Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application"
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext()); builder.setTitle("Test Title"); builder.setOnCancelListener(new Dialog.OnCancelListener() { public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) { dismiss(); } });
I have a really weird problem, which I am unable to debug so far. thing is. my app needs to download something to work. So in the beginning of the onCreate() method, I check if that something is already downloaded. If not, I pop a dialog up asking the user to download it.My dialog is shown and I am clicking, so aManager.install() is called. I am passing the context because that aManager.install() pops up a ProgressDialog to show downloading progress and spawns a new thread in which everything is downloaded. So obviously before creating my dialog I make a Handler to receive the response from that aManager.install(). And the response MAY vary, because for example the internet connection isn't available (Exception raised and catched and listener called with different code).Now, when that happens (Exception) I would like to call another dialog saying "something went wrong, would you like to retry?" so another call to showDialog(DIALOG_REINSTALL) (this time with another code).thing is the showDialog() gets called (I can verify this by logging) but the dialogs doesn't show up. Instead my application JUST HANGS Does someone have a clue why it's doing this? No exception raised, absolutely nothing from logcat, I can't tell WHERE it's hanging...just see that the method is called and the dialog should be displayed.

I 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 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 9 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.

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.

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.
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 1 Replies View RelatedI just got a Droid, and after having used it for a while, I felt like I wanted to make a program for it. The program that I am trying to make calculates the actual storage capacity of secondary storage mediums. The user select from a list of units that ranges from KB to YB and the size the entered gets put into a formula depending on the chosen unit.However, there is a bit of a problem with the program.From my testing,I have narrowed it down to the fact that the user's selection is not really being obtained from the spinner.Everything I look up seems to point me to a method quite similar to how it works in J2SE, but it does nothing. How am I actually supposed to get that data?
