Android :: Java - Input First Name Middle Initial And Last Name?
Sep 22, 2010I am trying to create a Java program that takes the firstname mi last name input and outputs "FI MI lastname".

I am trying to create a Java program that takes the firstname mi last name input and outputs "FI MI lastname".
I am a Java professional. Now I'd like to write an application for the Android platform.
What is the initial step I need to take?
How does my Java programming experience help in this case?
Is there any Java validator libraries i can use to validate text input from an android app?
i know that in spring there are validators for various different types such as checking if a value is a int, if a value is a valid email, etc etc.
Anything similar in core Java or even android?
cheers in advance. i don't want to re-invent the wheel if its already been implemented. i could always sue Java reg expressions to construct my own ones but was wondering if their was one done specifically for email formats.
I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI searched the groups to find a topic about setting horizontal scroll view's offset, but no results. Some topics talked about ScrollView, and they are not expected. Here is my question: I have a HorizontalScrollView, with LinearLayout as its child, the LinearLayout contains a custom view, I finished the onDraw method of the custom view to draw something which is longer than the screen's horizontal size, so I think HorizontalScrollView is the right widget that I need. But I do not want to display the left-most part of my custom view, such as a calendar, I can display the last week and next week in the custom view, but what I want to put in the center of the scroll view is today. So, I wonder how I should set the initial offset of the HorizontalScrollView?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the WebView to have similar behavior as the android browser. The browser opens all pages in a way that tries to fit their width to the screen. However, the default behavior of the WebView is to start at a 100% pixel scale so it starts zoomed in on the top left corner.
I have spent the last couple hours trying to find a way to get the WebView to scale the page to the screen like it does in the browser but I'm not having any luck. Has anyone found a way to accomplish this?
I see is a setting called setLoadWithOverviewMode, but that didn't appear to do anything at all. I also experimented with setInitialScale but on different screen sizes and web page sizes that won't be as graceful as the browsers scaling.
Any one have any leads?
I have released an app (World Time) with initial database. Now i want to update the app with a database upgrade.I have put in the upgrade code in OnUpgrade() and checking for the newVersion. But it was not being called in my local testing.So i put in the debug statement to get the database version and it is zero.Any idea why it is not being versioned ?

I have a vertical, set height (300px) LinearLayout (LL) with 3 nested LLs. 1 and 3rd are set with android:layout_height="wrap_content" and the middle one with android:layout_height="fill_parent". To my dismay, 3rd LL get's pushed out with 2nd one filling parent layout right to the bottom. How do I achieve desired effect since I want potentially resize the outside container with the middle portion expending and contracting to accommodate the change

And then I try to add to the middle of that arraylist...orderedPlayers.add(2, P);
I get an indexoutofbounds...I also get indexoutofbounds if I use set instead of add...orderedPlayers.set(2, P);
In fact the only way I can add P to the arraylist is if I use the 0 index...orderedPlayers.add(0, P);
And also for some strange reason when I do that my debugger in eclipse sees that element added to the 4th index of orderedPlayers instead of the 0th... is ArrayList buggy or am I completely missing something? how would I add to the middle of a null ArrayList?
Hopefully this is a simple one as I've been asking loads recently...
I am trying to draw the a white circle with the following code...
but it is being displayed as a solid disk, how do I get it to just display as an circular outline with a transparent centre?
I've had a look in the help and it makes no sense to me, probably because I'm not used to the drawing terms like stroke and dither. What's wrong with background and border eh?
I'd like to start an activity with some initial data (passed through Extras) that sets up a display page, while I simultaneously make a network call to get the rest of the data. I thought I'd pass this new data to the activity as a message to the activity's handler. Now, my question is: how can I make sure that the activity has finished drawing the page and is ready to show the message data? The data might come from the cache, so I'm worried the message may land in the handler before the page is ready to display it. Is there a way to synchronize the page draw and the message handling? E.g., is it possible to suspend the looper till the page is ready? What's the preferred way of doing what I'm trying to do?

First the camera button is unresponsive, and now after owning this phone for about a month, I'm at my wits end! Has anyone experienced this? Last night after leaving the movie theater I pulled my EVO out of my pocket and pressed the power button - the bottom row button lights come on, but the screen does not (battery is nearly full by the way). Pressing the power button makes the bottom buttons turn on and off, but the screen is off. I perform a battery pull, everything seems fine, I can get into the phone after it boots, but once I press the power button to turn the screen off, the screen never turns on again - but the bottom buttons light up like last time. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I have to perform a battery pull every time I turn the screen off. I've now changed the display timeout to 'never' - and if I keep the screen on permanently from the initial bootup, the phone works fine. Absolutely insane. If Sprint can't exchange the phone (due to lack of stock) I'm considering going back to a blackberry. This is my third EVO, and although I love it when it works, I need something a little more reliable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make TextView to break words in the middle and then move to another line, instead moving whole word that doesn't fit to the new line ? I have a width and number of lines of the TextView and a long string and want to calculate which portion of the String will fit exactly. the code is TextView vTextShort = (TextView) findViewById (R.id.story_text_partial); int lineHeight = vTextShort.getLineHeight(); int nmbLines = mesuredHeight / lineHeight; Paint mPaint = vTextShort.getPaint(); String shortTextStr = mStoryText; mStoryBreakIdx = 0; vTextShort.setLines(nmbLines ); int breakText = mPaint.breakText(mStoryText.toCharArray(), 0, mStoryText.length(), mesuredWidth, null); mStoryBreakIdx = breakText * nmbLines; It seems to calculate number of chars accurately but not accounting for the space that left after word is moved to a new line if it doesn't fit fully. And i'm looking on how to either break words in the middle or how calculate a width of the text that will fit correctly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just bought an unlocked HTC Desire from Hong Kong. I haven't put a sim card in it yet as I'm waiting for my old plan to live out its contract, but I couldn't resist having a play with the Desire in the mean time Because I bought it from overseas I can only seem to set my default language as English and then in brackets many Asian country options, eg English (Thailand) and English (Singapore). This would be fine except it is becoming frustrating when typing because all of the predictive text etc has many Asian characters in it and I'm struggling to write accurately.I've tried turning off predictive text and 'check invalid sequence', but it doesnt seem to work? I also tried downloading the application 'more locale 2' which had english (australian) but it doesnt seem to affect the keyboard. Does anyone have any advice regarding how to change the initial language setting? Is there any chance that when I put an Australian sim card into it the language options will change?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn my case, I think the charger that came with the phone is not charging the battery properly. Last Friday I left the Evo charger at work and had to use a Nokia charger to charge the phone. The usage was the same, but now my battery doesn't seem to have the initial percentage drop and seems to last longer. Also, it charges bit faster (I know this is not great for the battery). Will do more testing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday I got a Nexus 7, but I haven't been able to use it yet. After letting it charge for a while, I hold the power button to boot, followed by a white Google logo on a black screen. After roughly 16 seconds, the screen goes blank and repeats the process. I am able to access the menu that shows the Android on it's back, with the body open with blue buttons. There is no red triangle.
From here, I can select start and it again shows the Google logo - but just hangs there. No difference after minutes of waiting. Same results for Recovery Mode. If the device is plugged in via USB to a charger / computer, the Nexus freezes when reaching the menu, after which I am forced to reboot the device.
