I been working on default skin before, if i change my skin to WVGA , my layout displays only in a portion of the skin and the rest of screen is black.
although, i can see android's home screen in full view. do i need to change my skin settings or my layout itself?

This seems like a simple problem to me, but I can't figure it out. I have a fullscreen layout that displays differently if the screen is taller (854 instead of 800 pixels). I've tried putting the xml into layout-notlong-hdpiand layout-long-dpi respectively, but both my WVGA and FWVGA emulators go for the "long" version (as described in the doc).
Is there any way to distinguish between the two besides using the deprecated -800x480/-854x480 qualifiers?
I read about in the google documents that the 3 folders corresponds to different screen types and that android would select the image from different folders automatically according to the screen type. I read that WVGA will load from drawable-hdpi and HVGA will load from drawable-mdpi. When I tested with 2 emulators both running 2.1, each with HVGA and WVGA. It turns out that they are both reading the image in mdpi. If I deleted the image in mdpi then they read from hdpi. Can someone answer why emulator with WVGA is reading from drawable- mdpi?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe problem I am having is that when I run a FWVGA or WVGA sized emulator it sometimes runs at a MDPI size instead of HDPI. Here is an example with pictures. I create the AVD with the proper hw.lcd.density setting and screen size and it randomly does this. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. I used to be able to just delete the AVD and create it over again and it would fix itself for a while but now it's getting worse.

I am copying the BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P folder inside D:androidoolslibimagesskins (please note my system is on D:...)
When running the emulator, I get such message : [2009-04-29 13:30:30 - Emulator] emulator: ERROR: could not find directory for skin 'BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P', please use a different name
I tried using the -skindir option and provided the full path : -skindir "d:AndroidToolslibimagesskins" -skin "BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P" ...with no success.
If I use -skin HVGA, then it works....
I have tried on 2 different machines and I get the same result. I also tried renaming BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P into NOKBD (short name) with no more success. I have btw first tried -skin BILGICIFTLIGI-LAYOUT-P (no ") with no success.
I tried to Google for it to no avail. I really need it to make some promos - any hint
View 3 Replies View RelatedMotorola DROID emulator skin now available for Android 2.0 SDK! http://teavuihuang.com/android
DROID by Motorola is a Smartphone powered by Android 2.0 and developed in partnership with Google and Verizon Wireless. It was released on 28/10/2009 and will be available in Q4 2009. This emulator skin faithfully brings the DROID to your Android 2.0 SDK in the original WVGA854 resolution (480x854 high density, normal screen). The emulator skin package, screenshots and installation instructions are now available at the above website.
Is it just me or is everyone experiencing excruciatingly slow startup time followed by extermely poor responsiveness on the Android 2.0 emulator? I've got Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.1, Android SDK 5. My Android 1.5 emulator launches in a flash and performs pretty close to the device itself. Whereas 2.0 moves in super-slow-mo.
I'm using the Droid skin from http://teavuihuang.com/android/. The hardware I'm running on is more than capable, albeit I admit I'm on Vista. The point is the old emulator flies (and all my other apps fly), and the new emulator crawls.
Do you like the skins (Htc sense) that are on some Android phones, or do you like the base Android install?

Does anybody know how to change the clock skin back to original after uninstalling a clock skin? When you uninstall a clock skin, it uninstalls but the skin remains.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy app works on 1.5 emulator and 1.5 device. When i try to start it on 1.6 emulator, it produces strange exceptions (doesn't even start). I don't have any 1.6 device to try this app if it works on a real device.
I get some warnings in Eclipse ( warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class that doesn't come with an associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a broken compiler.) and get cant rid of them (i think they come from some apache jars that i need to make http multipart posts).
Is it possible that this jars are cause for my exceptions in 1.6 or is it something else?

In Android when I am adding a view object like ImageView to FrameLayout view and then immediately trying to call layout() method to repositioned the added view object it is not working. But when I call the layout method alone after some new event e.g. touch event then layout() seems to work. This also happens when bringToFront() and layout() is used together, layout() does not seems to work together with other method. Is there any reason why is this like this? Also instead of adding view object in the middle of the screen can it be ADDED at some specific location in FrameLayout?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter spending the better half of this day getting my HTC Magic to work in developer mode, I've now found that some of my frist openGL coding attempts that appeared to work fine in the emulator doesn't work as expected on the device. I've narrowed this down to glColorf(r, g, b, a) not working as expected on the device itself. The provided OpenGL samples do work though. So for example, after modifying Cube.java from the samples to the below code I find that I get the expected grey square on the emulator but a blank white screen (background fill colour) on the device.
class Cube { public Cube() { int one = 0x10000; int vertices[] = { -one, -one, -one, one, one, -one, one, one, };
// Buffers to be passed to gl*Pointer() functions // must be direct, i.e., they must be placed on the // native heap where the garbage collector cannot // move them. // // Buffers with multi-byte datatypes (e.g., short, int, float) // must have their byte order set to native order
ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length*4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); mVertexBuffer = vbb.asIntBuffer(); mVertexBuffer.put(vertices); mVertexBuffer.position(0); }
public void draw(GL10 gl) { gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CW); gl.glVertexPointer(2, gl.GL_FIXED, 0, mVertexBuffer); gl.glColor4f(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f); gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4); }

Is there Any way to set the width of the Layout.
Because most of the time it doesn't work?
Since Android supports styles and it's good practice to use them (similar to CSS), I made a new style and applied it to 3 buttons.
The Layout builder in Eclipse did not register the changes and either broke (showed nothing) or didn't apply styles at all.
After running the app in the emulator, styles are correctly applied.
So is there something I'm missing or the Android plugin doesn't support styles?
I'm still an Android & Java noob, but everything I've seen is telling me this should totally work, but it doesn't! not in the emulator, not on the phone.. I'm trying to use the vibrator using vibrate(500); ..I get an " application stopped unexpectedly " error

Some how so the D pad is more at the bottom and more visible, if the A and B were at the bottom it would be great too but thats not as big a deal.
I have problems simulating call or sms since telnet or ddms perspective on eclipse. I'm connected to the device and some commands works (window scale,...)If i try to simulate a gsm call then everything seems ok but i haven't anything on my emulator (nor incoming call nor notification) then if i launch an "gsm list" command my inbound call is listed and i can cancel it the same thing occurs with sms send everything seems ok (return OK) but there is no notification on the emulator nor sms in inbox :-(
I'm using the sdk r06 on a windows xp machine. I try with fresh avd on different platform :-(
Important : it has worked so i know it can work, but i would like to know why it doesn't work now ! Using ddms i don't see any trace on the log view.
Since I only have access to the emulators, I don't know if the problem can be reproduced on real phones. I'm using setCurrentTab on a TabHost to dynamically select a tab. When I am in portrait mode, it works, but as soon as I change to landscape (ctrl + f12), it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't send an exception, it just doesn't do anything. If I switch back to portrait (ctrl + f12), it doesn't work either. That means it just works when I first am in portrait mode. As soon as I change, it stops working. In order to make it work again, I need to close the application and reopen it.
The TabHost is from the current activity, which is a TabActivity.
Can you check if this happens to you too (emulator)?
I am programming an android application and my "testing" device is a Motorola Milestone (Droid). I have done a grid that scroll like the iPhone home menu ( with "points").
I got two problems:
The first one : the drag only works on the Android Device Emulator and don't on the Droid! (Maybe the multi-touch screen is a problem?) The drag is too responsible, and flip views sometimes one by one (this is ok) and sometimes 2 by 2 or 3 by 3! That is clearly problematic!
Here is the code of my OnTouch method: Code...
Update : It doesn't work anymore on the Google Nexus One!
Why there is difference between the screen layout in eclipse in xml editor and in the emulator?
