Android :: Inserting WIdgets In Custom View

View 3 RepliesI read somewhere in the Android documentation that (paraphrasing here): 'if you do make your own View take up the whole screen, it is then possible/even-advisable, to insert and manage the 'status-bar' within your View'. How do you do that? - i.e. insert the status-bar within ones own 'full- screen' View?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to build my own custom view which should look like the Crysis-GUI.At first I designed a XML-based Layout and made it visible via the setContentView(int resid)-Method. Worked pretty well.But now I wan't to go a step further and draw in my Layout. So I created a new Class, let it extend View and overrode the onDraw()-Method. So far so good.But how can I still use my XML-Layout? I can't do setContentView anymore, so how could the same effect be achieved?

The most common technique I see is to add XML, such as this (from Android docs.Can someone point out my errors, suggest a better way that will allow me to get gesture callbacks and/or suggest diagnostic approaches?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAs a continuation of the thread in http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers /browse_thread/threa, I'm still trying to figure out how a custom widget can use getIdentifier() to read attributes. As an example, I have a widget class called Custom Widget. It has attributes "inner_margin" and "outer_margin". Normally, to read these attributes, I would do the following in source code: import com.example. customactivity. R;// I don't want to do this. TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable. CustomWidget); innerMargin = a.getInt(R.styleable.CustomWidget_inner_margin, 0); Because my CustomWidget is intended to be shared among a number of projects, or even get published, it's a real problem having to import R from whatever activity it's going to be linked with. What I'd rather do is: int resid = ctx.get Resources ().get Identifier ("inner_margin", "int", "com.example.customwidget"); innerMargin = a.getInt(resid, 0); but getidentifier always returns zero. Can anybody tell me the magic I need to perform to do what I want? For completeness, my CustomWidget.xml file that defines the resources looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <declare-styleable name="CustomWidget"> <attr name="outer_margin" format="integer" /> <attr name=" inner_margin" format="integer" /> </declare-styleable> </resources> and for even more completeness, the entire source code can be found at http://www.efalk.org /tmp/ CustomWidget.tar.gz You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for this for quite a while and never come across a way to do it. In the Google Maps App, when you search for directions, there are overlays with buttons in them, and I want a similar thing, a marker with an image, text and button inside.
I've implement ItemizedOverlays before and made the marker clickable which I would event be happy with if I could put a linear layout inside the marker to organise the image and text since they are different for each marker.
I would like to create a widget that can reads its attributes from an XML file onCreate. I've created a Custom Button that extends Button widget. I would like to define its layout and styling in an XML, such that the widget can be reused across different views, with the same styling attributes. The notepad sample code does carry some pointers to this problem, however, it defines a XML layout with the component as View, inside LinearLayout, which is not really what I'm trying to achieve here.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).

I'm using Sqliteman on Ubuntu to test my SQL statements before I put them in my app. I'm trying to do a simple select statement on my view.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?
I'm redoing my home screen, and I want to have a few text icons that take me directly to specific home screens. Apex launcher has action shortcuts for this, but they are only 1x1. I cannot use widgets to get these actions... I have to use shortcuts. I have done what I want with 1x1 shortcuts, but they are just too small for my taste. I really want 2x1 shortcuts. I have not been able to figure out how to make them with either Simple Text or Desktop Visualizer.

Currently, I am creating a custom View class (DrawView) that inherits the View class and adding to my activity programatically by using RelativeLayout and LaoutParams etc. But is there an easier way to do this by adding my DrawView to the layout XML file?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to add a custom view in XML, but I kept getting force closes. It works fine when I just find the parent and use addView() so it isn't the code. I'm pretty sure I'm just getting the constructors wrong. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Here's what I've got:
CODE:................
I'm trying to create a button in a custom view that I've created. I'm looping through an XML document and drawing certain things. I want to be able to also create buttons to go in certain locations depending on the xml data. I'd like to do it in the view because I want to be able to call invalidate() on my view to redraw things and replace the buttons when new xml data is available.
The problem is that I put my code in the view class, the activity crashes because the button is "null".
Here is a subset of my code:
CODE:............
I know this code works for creating buttons because I can put it in my activity class and it works just fine. Any suggestions? I thought about relocating the button in the activity, but I can't figure out how to do this when new data is available.
I'm writing a little custom view which can be in two states : checked, not checked. According to the state it is in, it's background changes. Quite straightforward sort of behavior. My class extends FrameLayout and implements the Checkable interface.
In my toogle method I just calls the setChecked method with a boolean corresponding to the new state. My setChecked method simply sets a mChecked boolean and calls the refreshDrawableState method. Pressing the view should then toggle it back and forth between the states check, unchecked.
The background of the FrameLayout is given a StateListDrawable in which I've defined a drawable item for the following states: state_pressed, state_focused, state_checked=true, state_checked=false.
When I press my custom view, the background changes all right back and forth between the state_pressed=true and state_checked=false items. But state_checked=true is never called.
I've created a custom view via .xml file, and I wanted to add it as a a contentView to an alert Dialog usinf a dialogBuilder:
CODE:.................
The problem is...I can't get my view from my custom layout... I only have an id (int)...
I tried Resource.getLayout(int) => it returns an xmlParser... not very usefull ...
finally the solution I comes up is so disgusting ( it worked but ... let's have a look)
CODE:.......
How can I do that easily without using such a disgusting way... ?
