Android : Building Several Apps From One Code Base
Apr 15, 2010I need to build several slightly different apps from one code base, where only the styling and some variables are different in each app.Right now I use an awful "Constants" class where I comment in/out the correct values for each app, in addition to copying the correct graphic resources to the res/drawable/ folder.One way to make this less painful would be to refer to a Java static Constants#appVariant from styles.xml and splash.xml, e.g like this pseudo-entry:
<style name="Artwork"> <item name="android:background">@drawable/ border_{Constants.appVariant}</item> </style>
Is this possible?And I guess there are better ways of solving this.All hints are appreciated!
Android :: Multiple Activites That Share 75% Of Layout - Layouts Within Layouts?
Sep 6, 2010I'm creating a game where there's a screen that, for the most part, is shared by four different activites - but a key portion of the screen will be completely different, depending upon which activity is active. Basically, on the left will be an image of the player and along the bottom there will be a row of buttons (let's say for Armour, Weapons, Magic, Skills). This leaves the top-right portion, which will need to dynamically change to represent the button pressed. (So, one moment the top-right portion is the armour selection activity, and the next it's the weapon selection activity, and so on.)
Is this possible? Can I have a layout within a layout and dynamically point the nested layout at a (nested) layout.xml of my choosing? Or, am I looking at just duplicating most of the layout four times (for the four different activities?) Or, am I going to be looking at linking the four activities to a (the top-right) view component, and then having to dynamically construct all of *that* view's child views based on the currently active activity? Well, that's about as much sense as I can make this question make.
General :: Any Apps Available For Preserving Home Screen Layouts On Galaxy S4
Oct 13, 2013Are there any apps available which can preserve home screen layouts for a Galaxy S4 which uses the Atom launcher.
The reason why I ask is that I may need to do a clean wipe and I don't want to have to waste nearly half an hour or so recreating the folders which store the apps that I want to be on each home screen every time I do a clean wipe to install a new Version of echoeROM.
Android :: Cup Cake Code Base
Feb 19, 2009I have heard a lot about this code base, but have seen nothing.The possabilities are amazing, why are we so limited. If the sceen is multitouch capable, why not use it? When will we see a fix for the issue with the talk button on the headset, or the ability to run apps from the sd card, or the ability to stop running apps. This android os is linux based, yet these issues are holding us back? I am invested in this platform, and I really believe this is important. I hope to see more functionality. We have a platform that can truely compete with the iphone, but we must work hard to perserve our image.

Dec 22, 2009I'm trying to develop some middle layer application based on the source tree from android.git.kernel.org. I'm using the libmedia.so to link my code and has no problem. I also tried to link my code using the other libmedia.so which I pulled from HTC ADP2 (I ordered last week) and found that my code have many undefined references to some functions (or method).
This make me think that source code I gitted from android.git.kernel.org (two weeks ago) does not sync which the code in the HTC ADP2 Android device.
How do I sync my source tree with the HTC ADP2 ?

Sep 18, 2010Question before I dive deeper into converting my current rendering system to openGL. I heard that textures needed to be in base2 sizes in order to be stored for rendering. Is this true?
My application is very tight on memory, but most of the bitmaps are not a perfect square. Does storing non-base 2 textures waste extra memory?
Android :: Framework Base Interfaces Not Find On Target
Jul 22, 2010i have created an application XYZApp and put it in package/ apps directory of eclair source code and i have added one directory name XYZFrame in framework/base and XYZFrame dir have native code, jni and interfaces. These interface define in framework/base/XYZFrame/ Interfaces/ directory are imported and implemented in class of package/app/XYZApp. The XYZFrame is added in build/core/pathmap.mk and compiled. The compilation is done and apk for XYZApp is created. I installed the XYZApp.apk in to galaxy phone using adb. Now when i execute the XYZApp. apk on galaxy phone, i m getting an error (interfaces not found and fail to link). These interfaces are defined in framework/base/XYZFrame/Interfaces/. i think that framwork/base/XYZFrame/Interfaces are not available on phone Or problem is some thing else.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Access Base Directory Assets From Another Application?
Mar 16, 2010I get a lot of requests in my application to allow for custom icons packs from BetterCut / Open Home. The way it seems to work is you install BetterCut or Open Home, then you can install tons of these free icon packs from the market. Once installed both those apps (and other apps) will poll for those icon packs and use the icons. I want to know how to poll the install applications for the asset folders that are available. I have opened up a few of the icon packs and verified that there is an assets folder in there and they are full of all the icon png files. I've searched on here, other code sites, google, etc., but haven't found any leads.
From the answer below I have written some code to try and list a file from my own projects assets directory but it does not seem to work.
Resources r = this.getResources();
AssetManager a = r.getAssets();
String[] list = a.list("/");
Log.d("test", "Length of / is "+list.length);
for (String s : list) { Log.d("test", s); }
Log.d("test", "Length of /assets is "+a.list("/assets").length);
Log.d("test", "Length of /assets/ is "+a.list("/assets/").length);
Log.d("test", "Length of /assets/ is "+a.list("/assets/").length);
Log.d("test", "Length of ./assets/ is "+a.list("./assets/").length);
Log.d("test", "Length of ./assets is "+a.list("./assets").length);
This is the output:
03-16 12:25:04.591: DEBUG/test(13526): Length of / is 6
03-16 12:25:04.591: DEBUG/test(13526): AndroidManifest.xml

03-16 12:25:04.692: DEBUG/test(13526): Length of ./assets/ is 0
03-16 12:25:04.716: DEBUG/test(13526): Length of ./assets is 0
I figured out that you can read from the assets directory without actually using the folder name:
InputStream is = assetManager.open("test.png");
I also tried this with an asset in Appliction 2 from Application 1, where the folder path is /asset/icon/image.png:
InputStream is = assetManager.open("icon/image.png");
Next I figured out that you can list a directory inside assets:
String[] list = assetManager.list("icons");
That also works great. The only thing failing right now is how to list the base directory assets.

iPhone uses multiple targets in the same project which works well. If android cant do this do I need to compile binaries of the code base in one project and then import into each new app project? If so how? I'm using Eclipse and am an intermediate Java developer.
General :: How To Make Themes And Using As Base Android 4.4 KitKat Theme By Global Sense
Nov 17, 2013how to make themes and using as a base the Android 4.4 KitKat Theme by Global Sense (in Google Play). I wanted to start by making simple changes, like the notification_header_bg.

Code:
<item name="drawable/notification_header_bg">@drawable/notification_header_bg</item>

This trick works fine when i try to move a view within a single TableRow but not when i try to move it up or down. I've also discovered that if i create a single RelativeLayout and apply the same animation there, it works fine, but i can't arrange all the components i need on the screen. Could anybody please provide me any hints about it?
