I need help coming up with a way of executing the following sequence using some type of view or layout combination in Android:I have 3 image objects... say object A, B, and C...I have tried every combination of Threads, AsyncTasks, Handlers, custom layouts, AnimationListeners, etc. but everything I've tried has failed.
If only the ViewSwitcher could take more than 2 views.

I 'm beginner in Android ,To start with i was asked to do a simple task ,i need to make blue and red screen appear on the screen alternatively , to achieve this i wrote two layout files 1. main.xml -- for to display red screen 2. sub1.xml -- for to display blue screen
In oncreate() i wrote

but this doesn't work ,why ? Please help to understand the concept
I can't find a tutorial on Google for my problem. I'm french and i don't find the best "google keywords" for to describe my goal. I decided to ask the question here.
I want to do an animation between views like on the Home or on the Calendar in week mode. I want the switch between the views follows the finger. As I have not released the pressure, I see a part of the current view an a part of the next view.
Currently, I use a AnimatorView and 2 gestures. But the change happens when the pressure is released, and it's not good.
Can someone explain to me how to do or where to find a tutorial that explain? ps : please, don't laugh about my english, it's worst when I speak with my very french accent :P
Is there a way to switch views in a ViewFlipper just like on Home screen, where we have small dots at the bottom of the screen and on clicking on them we can switch views.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble switching views with button presses in my Android app. The code shows no errors in Eclipse, but the app quits unexpectedly in the emulator when the button is clicked.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.
I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.
i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.
Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.
How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?
I'm trying to figure out how to animate in and out of Imageviews.
Basically I have a LinearLayout with an ImageView and a Button at the bottom. Everytime the button is pressed, onClick() is invoked and I do
image.setImageResource(imageArray[imageCounter]);
I simply change the image displayed on the ImageView by selecting different photos in the @drawable.
Now I want to put an animation when these imageviews are changed (when button pressed). I used
inAnimation = AnimationUtils.makeInAnimation(this,true);and in onClick() I do image.setImageResource(imageArray[imageCounter]); image.startAnimation(inAnimation);
This works fine too. The new image comes to the screen animated. But how can put an out animation too? It seems only one animation can be assigned with startAnimation().
What is the best way to animate an imageview OUT and then animate another imageview IN? Because I want to change the animation depending on the button pressed, I cannot use ViewFlipper. For example, if I press button_Anim1, current image will slideout from right and the new image will fade in. But if I press button_Anim2, current image will slideout from top and the new image will slidein from left. And so on.
I see that I cannot use two different image.startAnimation() in the onClick() method to make the current image View.INVISIBLE and then make the new image View.VISIBLE.
I want to populate a table, defined in layout xml file through the programmatic way. I have define Table with a single row defining its header, with all the attributes set. Now i want to know a way so that i can just replicate that header row in the table with new content.
I tried using inflator inflate(int,view) method, but at runtime it showed up with error.
Here is the XML code for the layout file defining the table
CODE:.................
I have the following XML code:.................
The idea is to change the views, whenever I press one of the radio buttons. When I press a button the first time everything works out fine, but the second time I press a button, I get an IllegalStateException, and I can't quite see why I'm getting this.
Also, the Activity seems to set all my global variables to null, which is why I have to create them every time I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa. So I would like to know if there is a way I can save my views in the Bundle, or any other way in which I can permanently save my views, so I don't have to add or create them every time, I flip the phone. And whenever I flip the phone, it seems that it rereads the main XML file, causing the RadioGroup to be set to 2D even if the 3D button is checked. This is because I've said the 2D button to be checked from when the app is first created, but I would like to also save the state of that RadioGroup.
since I have updated my project (http://code.google.com/p/ bestcardgameever-android/) to the 1.5SDK, I need to switch the deprecated AbsoluteLayout with something else. The problem is the project is a card game that has cards showing and some of them need to be overlapping (take a look at this note the cards in the center) I could really use a tip on how to do this with a FrameLayoutetc.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to load bitmaps into ImageViews in Android, but I don't want to use the R.drawable syntax because I have a lot of images with a standard naming convention so it's much easier to get the image with some logic. For example, all my images are named:
img1.png
img2.png
img3.png
So if a user selects a value, let's say x, I show "img" + x + ".png" in the ImageView. Looks like Bitmap.decodeFile is what I need, but I need to know the syntax of how to get to my drawables folder since that's where the images are. Or if there's perhaps a better way.
I realize I could do this with a switch statement instead of concatenating the image name but that would be a lot of lines since I have so many images.
I thought I have understood the XML layout of Android, but it seems that I haven't. I want to have four ImageViews on one screen, to view four images at the same time.
It should look like this, where A to D represents the image views:
DDDAAA
DDDAAA
BBBCCC
BBBCCC
How can I do that? I tried it this way, but it's not working. The Eclipse Editor seems not to be very good for this either. Is there a better one to create those layouts?

I would like to design a layout for my android app which has imageviews/Textviews placed as shown in the figure below.
Right now, i tried to use Absolute layout, but i know that will create problems as the screen size changes.
How do you align views relative to the "middle" part of another view? I think it is best explained with a pic of the UI I'm trying to create in android.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan it be done? If it can, is it much of a performance hit, and is there an example anywhere?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm messing with imageviews and I am able to align a single imageview in the center horizontally with android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

I need to load several ImageViews into a layout. The ImageViews are used to show a rating using 'star' icons. The number of stars (i.e. the rating is determined during loading by reading a configuration file.
The ImageViews are sitting inside a RelativeLayout layout.
Currently I am using something like this:
CODE:........
My quesions are:
1) Is doing the loading dynamically (not using an xml) is the 'right' way of doing this ?
2) If it is, how do I make the stars display in a line, currently they get placed one on top of the other.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement where few of my image views form border areas of an application, the application will be running on many screen sizes.
I'll be creating a uniform image for the smallest size possible, which can be repeated as many times as needed, and still presents the same image.
i want the image view to replicate the image contained whenever it is increased.
Perhaps I was able to describe my problem.
Is anything like this possible?
I tried 9-patch images, but I couldn't find nice articles on it which could explain how to create useful images with it which could suite my need.
I'm just starting to get the hang of animations, tweened animations that is. I have made several imageviews with pictures rotating and moving, and its all very fun, but I don't know what the best approach for doing multiple animations is.
For example I created a LinearLayout and stuck some ImageViews in it and wrote this:
CODE:...............
for each imageview. So they all spin. But now I want to step it up a gear. But reaidng other sources on the net it seems some people use canvas to do animations. What is the best way?
Is there any way to query a root view of an activity for all of its child views even before the root view or its children have been inflated? I guess what I'm looking for is whether a view knows ahead of time what children it will have before it gets inflated, and can I get that list in some way. Bizarre I realize, but I think it will help me with some unconventional automation testing I'm working on. I haven't found anything in the API like this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have a LinearLayout, and I want to add a View to it, in my program from the Java code. What method is used for this? I'm not asking how it's done in XML, which I do know, but rather, how can I do something along the lines of (One View).add(Another View) Like one can do in Swing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an Android app that has multiple screens the user will need to navigate between and I am curious what the best practices are when switching between those screens. I am torn between creating a new Activity for each screen and simply changing the view (setContentView(R.layout.whatever)). The screens all share at least some variable values so I'm leaning toward changing views and using class level variables, but I'm worried a single activity could become very large and confusing with logic for multiple screens in a single file. I'd like to keep the code clean and separated, but I also don't want to be passing several variables around between views if that isn't needed.Being new to Android development, I'm hoping some more experienced members of the community could share their thoughts and let me know how best to handle it
