I've created a new xml file in my layouts directory using eclipse's "new->xml file" wizard and i want to be able to use the built in layout editor, however, this file is not recognized as an android layout file by the editor, but rather as an ordinary file. everything compiles and runs okay, but i wanted to know how to do it better next time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using eclipse 3.5 with the ADT plugin.when I view layout xml files, i get two tabs in the view the source code view and a graphical view.the graphical view almost never works for any of my layouts.it usually shows "NullPointerException: null" at the top and nothing else. when it does work, it often does not match what i get in the simulator or device.it seems like this thing simply is not ready for prime time; although the idea is very cool.has anyone else had much success with it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm porting an app of mine to work better with API 1.5, and I'm having problems with the layout files where I'm using an AutoCompleteTextView (and, naturally, MultiAutoCompleteTextView). Whenever I have them present in a layout, the graphical representation of the layout disappears, and "NullPointerException: null" replaces it. Is there any way I can view a widget such as this in the Eclipse editor? It definitely worked in the 1.1 SDK, otherwise I wouldn't have used them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a subfolder in the layout folder, and drag an xml file to it, the generated R file doesn't seem to show the subfolder. a) is there a way to change that b) is the file and file structure still picked up by SVN and c) so, if I do it that way, can I still just refer to the object using layout?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to java, eclipse, and android development, so I may be missing something simple although I have checked basic stuff like spelling several times.
Because there is no number picker control (such as that used in the date picker) in the public Android SDK, the conventional wisdom is to "clone and own" the control that exists in the Android source.
In an attempt to do that, I have copied the code for NumberPicker into my project and its dependency, NumberPickerButton. I have also copied the supporting resources.
The problem I am having is that when I try to include the NumberPicker in a layout, the rendered version of the layout within Eclipse does not work.
CODE:...............
Adding that tag causes the Layout view of the XML file to only show the following error.
ClassCastException: com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton cannot be cast to com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton
I have tried both the fully qualified name and the unqualified name and it makes no difference.
The strange thing is that the control works at run time, it just will not render in Eclipse.
Is there a solution for this issue? Am I just doing something wrong?
If necessary, I can include more code from my project to clarify.
If I reference the internal Android widget, it works fine in the Eclipse layout view, but it is clumsy to interact with that way and it might break in the future.
CODE:............
Here is the stack trace from Eclipse.

The xml files that contains the Activity layouts can be rendered by Eclipse.
How do I get that Eclipse screen area to have vertical orientation, not horizontal (inside Eclipse - it correctly shows as vertical in the emulator)?
This is probably related to this question. I want to know if anyone else gets the same error as me and if there is a way to get around this. I did the following: Followed the instructions from this page. From the top, go to File -> Create a new project -> Android Project -> Create project from existing sample. Checked Android 2.2. From the drop-down menu picked SkeletonApp. Clicked finish. From the package explorer, went to SkeletonActivity -> res -> layout -> skeleton_activity.xml. In the tabs at the bottom of the editor area (editor area is the center of the screen) clicked on Layout. Then I got the error "ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to andoid.text.ViewGroup". The full text of the error message is given below.
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to android.view.ViewGroup

I'm new to Android & Eclipse. I've downloaded Eclipse and the Android ADT and created an ultra-simple "Hello World" app (has only auto-generated .java and .xml files). Eclipse CRASHES (closes after a very brief pause) when I do the following: In Package Explorer, select AppName/res/layout/main.xml Press, or double-click, or 'Open With' then 'Android Layout Editor' (The app runs OK in the Android emulator) My configuration is:
Android Development Tools 0.9.5.v200911191123-20404 com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 1.2.2.20100216-1730 epp.package.java
Windows XP
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what's wrong with my configuration? Any suggestions on what to check? For any non-trivial app development I need to be able to use the Layout Editor. More ... I can select main.xml and Right-Click and 'Open With' any of: XML Editor, XML Schema Editor, Text Editor -- with no problem. The problem is limited to Android Layout Editor.
Has anyone figured out how to scroll the contents of the Layout Editor when those contents overflow one "screen"? I'm talking about at design-time while using the ADT Layout Editor, not scrolling at run-time on a physical device (that works fine).

View 1 Replies View RelatedSince 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy there is difference between the screen layout in eclipse in xml editor and in the emulator?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 and the project target is 2.2.
I have a xml layout that has a HorizontalScrollView and ScrollView with a LinearLayout. For some reason unknown to me the graphical layout will not expand when I add objects that exceed the size of the default screen size.
I have other xml layout files that will expand when using a single scrollview type, however when using two of them nested together it does not work.
I have attempted to use ScrollView then HorizontalScrollView and reversed to see if it is a order of priority issue with Eclipse. However this does not work.
There appears to be nothing missing from the properties of the scrollviews between those that will expand and the one that wont.
Is there something I am missing? Or is it not possible to have two different scrollview types in one layout and still have a auto expanding graphical layout editor? I would rather not define a specific screen resolution that would allow me to see all objects; I want the app to be adaptable to any device screen size.
I am trying out the HelloWorld example. I get an error when I want to create the strings.xml file: when I open the already default string.xml file in the project I get the error: An error has occurred. See error log for more details. java.lang.NullPointerException
The file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">Android the best but this sux</string> <string name="hello">Hello all this is a android app</string> </resources>
What is wrong. I can not seem to find it....

Since yesterday everytime I open my layout Editor in Eclipse for the Android UI the last part goes on and on as expected if an Stackoverflow Exception occurs.Anybody else experiencing this and found a solution?I'm working with the latests android sdk on Mac OS X with Eclipse 3.5.2.I just installed the Carbon Version of eclipse and I get this error even in this fresh copy of eclipse.Very strange that I'm the only one experiencing this error. Maybe it is not an Eclipse problem but an problem of my project setup.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to create a Compound Control in Android 1.5 (as described here) but haven't been able to find any good examples on how to do this using an XML file to specify a layout. Create Custom Component based on LinearLayout, declaring layout in XMLI'm fine with creating an Activity and then loading an xml file using the following in the constructor:
setContentView(R.layout.main);
However, I want to do this in subclass of LinearLayout - so I can use this compound component in other XML layouts. Something along the lines of:
public class CustomView extends LinearLayout
{ public CustomView(Context context) {
super(context);
setupView();
} public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{ super(context, attrs);
setupView();
} public void setupView() {
setContentView(R.layout.custom);
// Not possible } }
What is the correct way of going about doing this?
In my layout xml file, I have included other layout xml file (each with a different android id).But when I run it in the emulator, and start Hierarchy Viewer, each of the layout still shows 'NO_ID', and in my code, I have findViewById(R.id.test1) and findViewById(R.id.test2) both returns null.Can anyone please help me with my problem?
