Trying to implement simple dictionary. I want to make it so while the user is typing in the EditText box the list to scroll automatically to the best match. I don't want it to filter the list. For example if the user types "s" in the EditText I want the first word that s/he sees under the EditText box to be the first word in the dictionary that starts with "s." But the user should still be able to slide up and down and to be able to see the entire list of words. It is basically like a go to functionality. I used ArrayList to store my list of words. The data is in res/raw/data.xml file. Here is my onCreate method
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wordListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.wordList);
myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
words = new ArrayList<Word>();
arrAdap = new ArrayAdapter<Word>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, words);
wordListView.setAdapter(arrAdap); try {
InputStream inSource = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.data);
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inSource, null);
NodeList wordsList = doc.getElementsByTagName("eng-bg");
int length = wordsList.getLength();
for(int i = 0; i<length; i++) {
Element entry = (Element)wordsList.item(i);
Element eng = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("english").item(0);
Element bul = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("bulgarian").item(0);
Element id = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("ID").item(0);
String english = eng.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String bulgarian = bul.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
int wordId = Integer.parseInt(id.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
Word word = new Word(bulgarian, english, wordId);
addNewWord(word);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}wordListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
selectedWord = words.get(pos);
showDialog(TRANS_DIALOG);
myEditText.setText(selectedWord.getEnglish());
myEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {

I have a background color applied to a ListView but everytime the list is scrolled the background color changes back to the system default (black). When the scrolling stops the color goes back to @color/window_background.The style is applied in AndroidManifest.xml:<activity android:name=".event.EventList" android:theme="@style/CKButtons"></activity> and my ListView looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
><ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/android:list"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="@string/eventlist_no_items"/>
</LinearLayout>How can I prevent this from happening?
I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy application show a ListView with a button which allow user to add an element. When the user clicks on this button, another Activity is started to allow user to populate the new element. When the add is finished, we return to the previous Activity with the ListView and I would like to scroll to the new element.
Note that this element is not necessarily at the end of the ListView because there is an "order by" when I retrieve the datas from the database. I know I need the cursor position of the new element to make the ListView scrool to it, but the only info I have about this element is its id, so how to convert this id to cursor position ? Do I have to loop on the cursor to find the position?
I have a ListView with an edit text and a button below it. When I click on a listView item the keyboard appears and push up the edit text and the button. I want the list to scroll to the selected item.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have looked at the Gallery widget api,
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/widget/Gallery.html
But can you please tell me how can I scroll an item in the Gallery programmically? e.g. i want to write code to scroll the gallery by 1 item at a time.
I need to get an item's position in spinner knowing it's ID. I've tried to do it with Spinner and SpinnerAdapter classes but there are no corresponding methods there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a modified Gallery widget to display real-time events coverflow-style. What I now need is some Method to scroll to a specific item within the Gallery. Such method IS available within frameworks/base/core/java/android/ widget/Gallery.java as scrollToChild but is declared as private. Do you know of any manual way to move/scroll around a Gallery / List Widget?
Current workaround would be to inject DPAD_RIGHT using the Instrumentation Framework, which is as really ugly solution.
I am on my first Android application and I am on a timeline so details and examples will be useful since my knowledge is still minimal. I want my first screen to present the user with a list of activities to choose from. In my situation it is a recipe app where the user first chooses the type of food, such as, Beef, Chicken, or Pork. I want the application to launch an activity depending on the list item that the user clicked on. I am not sure if I should use a list view, a text view, a scroll view, a list activity, an activity group...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a multiple selection list where the selection is represented graphically rather than with checkboxes.My list has checkboxes, but I want them to serve a different purpose. I'm using a cursor to hold my data and created a custom view binder for the SimpleCursorAdapter. I did this for the checkboxes and general flexibility.So far I haven't even been able to show one line as being selected. I've enabled multiple selection on the list and denied the children of the list item focusability. I've tried manually changing background color with the position fed in through the list item click listener. But the wrong items get changed and they don't even change to the right color. I've enabled touch focusability with no improvement either.Ideally, I'd like the trackball highlight focus bar to appear in multiple places. But I don't think this is possible unless you use the drawable directly. But I don't know how to find or apply it. My next idea was to have a slim view bar that changes color. But I had the same problem with the wrong item being selected so I never finished trying to guess the index position to see if this would work. My most recent idea is to completely swap out the view for another one if it's selected. But I have no idea how to do this either. I'm thinking of using an array list to store the _id s of the items that need a different view to get around the wierd selection problem. I'm also thinking of passing in the ID field as my from and the selection view as the to for my adapter. Then I'd intercept it with my binder and change the view accordingly. But once again, I'm not sure how to do this successfuly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI use tabs in my Android application and one of my tabs contains a listview. I'm noticing some weird behavior when I override isEnabled in my list's adapter and then try to use the D-pad to move up and down through the list and to my tabs.If the 0th item of the list is enabled, then everything works as expected - I can move down through the list, and then up again and once I reach the top of the list, pressing up moves focus to my tab.However, if the 0th item is DISABLED (isEnabled in my adapter returns false), then when I press up while position 1 is focused, the focus gets stuck. It doesn't move up to the tab as I would have expected and instead stays on position 1 of the list.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list (ListView) which displays news items. They contain a image, title and some text. The image is loaded in a separate thread (with a queue and all) and when the image is downloaded, I now call notifyDataSetChanged() on the list adapter to update the image. This works, but getView() is getting called way to often now, since notifyDataSetChanged() calls getView() for all visible items. I want to update just the single item in the list. How would I do this?Problems I have with my current approch is that the list is slow and I have a fadein animation on the image which happens every time a single new image in the list is loaded.

Is there another listener I need to configure?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOne thing driving me crazy in Android is if you start typing say in a search box (like in market, maps, etc.) and you see a choice that is almost what you want, you cannot select it and modify it.For example, I accidentally type pinboll in market.It finds nothing.I start to type pin again, there is pinboll. There seems to be no way to select that and be able to change the one letter. I have to retype the whole thing. Am I missing something?

I am new to android, and ended up (have to) ask a question here, Let's make it simple, I simply want to make my own TextView-like (MyView extends View). This is my code:
public class MyView extends View { private Paint mPaint; private String mText;
private Bitmap mBitmap1; private Bitmap mBitmap2; public MyView(Context context) {
super(context); initView(); } public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs); initView(); } private final void initView() {
mPaint = new Paint(); } public void setText(String text) { mText = text;
} @Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int measuredWidth = measureWidth(widthMeasureSpec);
if (mBitmap1 == null) initBitmap1(measuredWidth);
int measuredHeight = measureHeight(heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(measuredWidth, measuredHeight);
} private void initBitmap1(int measuredWidth) {
mBitmap1 = Bitmap.createBitmap(measuredWidth, Fonts.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mBitmap1 ); canvas.drawText(mText, 0, 0, mPaint);
} private void initBitmap2() { mBitmap2 = Bitmap.createBitmap(30,
Fonts.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mBitmap2;
canvas.drawText(mText, 0, 0, mPaint);}
private int measureWidth(int widthMeasureSpec) { int measuredWidth = 0;
int specWidthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec);
int specWidthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
if (specWidthMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) { measuredWidth = specWidthSize;
} else { measuredWidth = getWidth(); if (specWidthMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) {
measuredWidth = Math.min(measuredWidth, specWidthSize);
} } return measuredWidth; }
private int measureHeight(int heightMeasureSpec) {
int measuredHeight = 0; int specHeightMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec);
int specHeightSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
if (specHeightMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) {
measuredHeight = specHeightSize; } else { measuredHeight = 80;
if (specHeightMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) { measuredHeight = Math.min(measuredHeight, specHeightSize);
} } return measuredHeight; }
@Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas); canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap1, getLeft(), 0, mPaint);
initBitmap2(); canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap2, getLeft(), 30, mPaint); } }
