View 2 RepliesI have the localized strings file that is used in the Iphone app that I work on to port to Android. Are there any tools that go through the file taken from the xcode project and build the xml needed to use the strings in android? This tool should be easy to build but I appreciate any pointers to already working tools.

Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have preferences where you can enable/disable what items will show up on the menu. There are 17 items. I made a string array in values/arrays.xml with titles for each of these 17 items.
I have preferences.xml which has the layout for my preferences file, and I would like to reference a single item from the string array to use as the title.
In the Android developer reference, I see how I can reference a single string with XML, but now how I can reference a string from an array resource in XML.
Can anybody give me some clue that how to convert binary string into a string(english). I have tried and googled so much but couldn't find an answer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any idea how to find the n-th field (string) in a delimited string where the delimiters (separator) could be either a single char or several chars.and the syntax for user-defined function is FindNthField(string,separator,position)so position 3 would return three,The separator in use would actually be Chr(13).This has to run on Android and so should be efficient.

Is there any process to change the default text color white to "Black" and default selection color of android "orange" to "Blue" for whole project. i am using Eclipse for Android development.

By default, android shows the selected view with background as orange. I want to show the view background color as red.
2. In the same way, I want the same behaviour should be applied to whole application.
I have seen this example:
@*android:color/secondary_text_light
What's that * asterisk doing there? What is the difference when using or not?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a little textview defined in layout xml:
CODE:.........
As you can see the background color is "background_light" (this results in white color) and the text color is "primary_text_light" (this results in black color).
I would have thought that primary_text_light would result in a "light" color like white, not black ;-)
When i change "primary_text_light" into "primary_text_dark" the text color becomes color white.
Is this a bug in the naming of the default colors?
To give the user of my app an indication which field currently has the focus I am trying to change the background color of some of my fields depending on the current state, however, I am having troubles understanding Androids Color State List Resources:
There is this example at the bottom of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/color-list-resource.html. If I try exactly the same, i.e. if I want to adapt the textColor , things do work. However, if I try an only slightly different thing, namely to adapt the background color, things do not work and I don't understand why? Why is this so inconsistent?
To make it simpler to understand what I am trying to do, I append my misc. .xml files:
The AndroidManifest.xml file:
CODE:.........
If I run this as shown here, it works, i.e. I get a button whose text color changes depending on whether the button is focuses, pressed, etc.
If I uncomment the lower button, where I just flipped the attribute values for textColor and background I get an exception, stating
... <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
What the heck am I missing here? Why is that color state list acceptable as a text color but not as a background color? How does one specify a view's background color depending on the view's state?
I just want to read <string-array> resource elements into a String array. I don't want to make a view or anything and mess with adapters - just want to transfer the elements. Is there a built in class for this? Or do I need to treat the resource file as a regular file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a color picker for Android that looks like a minimalistic version of Gimp's. So, it has a hue slider and a rectangle with saturation/value variants of a color chosen in hue slider.
Question: what is the best way to create the rectangle?
Right now, I'm creating an 200x200 array of pixels, but it takes ~5sec to create and display rectangle with that array. And I need colors in rectangle to change whenever I change the value in hue slider...
Rectangle is bitmap, Can I use color matrices on that and how?
I am coding an Android client that talks to some web services via XML packets.
A typical packet looks like this..
<Packet service="login">
<username></username>
<password></password>
</Packet>
I have about 20 of these packets and would like to store them in my resources maybe in res/xml or res/raw
I want to store these 'empty' packets and load them using XML DOM and then fill in the content between the tags or attributes but am unsure how to do this.
Once the DOM packet has been filled in I want to get that back as a String so that I can send the packet to the server.
So to summarize my questions are..
(1) How do I load an XML resource using DOM?
(2) How do I convert the DOM object to a String?
I have defined a string array in the resource and access it using:
String arrStrings[] = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.arrayname);
But, how can I get the size of this array?
Maybe I missed something but I can't locate a way to get a String[] array of keys from a ContentValues object?
