Android : Load Layout Dynamically At Runtime In Droid?
Nov 20, 2010
My application requires 2 screens and for this I have created two different XML layout files using RelativeLayout. One layout file loads whenever I run my Activity. Now I want to load the second layout on to the same Activity , when user click on a button in OptionsMenu and also when user press Back button the first screen loads instead of exiting the application. So that i don't need to create another Intent in my application.

Is it possible to load a layout XML at runtime and load into activity?
In my app, I have various types of data like Person, Company, City, etc; The requirement is to dynamically load the layout, find views by tags (property names like Person.name, Person.address) and then fill in data. For example, if user has selected an object of type Company, we want to load a company.xml layout, inflate it and then associate various properties (company name, company slogan, city, address, revenue) to tagged views. One possibility I see here is - each view in the layout will be associated with property-name as tag and then appropriate data will be loaded in appropriate views.
What should be the best design you would recommend?

I've got some XML resources in my Android app. Each one has a different name like "bicycle.xml" and "car.xml". I'd like to know if there's a way to load resources based on conditions during run time.
As an example...
Say I had a text input in my app. When the user enters "bicycle", my app can look up an XML resource by that name, parse and load it. Whereas if they enter "car", they would end up with the data from the other XML file.
I've noticed so far that to load resources, you have to use the autogenerated "R" class, which restricts you to hard-coding resources at compile time.

Let's say, there are four apps in the system: app1, app2, app3, app4.
Be default, when the system is up, all apps will be shown in the home screen. Now if we provide a customized log in screen, user A log in, then for this user, he can only see (and use ) app1 and app2. Then A log out, user B log in, he can only see app3 and app4.
Does API provide such capability to load the app list dynamically?

I am storing the required test.jar file in the /sdcard. I want to load it dynamically at runtime and want to execute a function xyz() resides in that. For this purpose I had written following code:
But got ClassCastException : dalvik.system.PathClassLoader
Following is my code ,
import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException; import java.lang.reflect.Method; import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log;
public class Collabera extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final Class[] parameters = new Class[] { URL.class };
public static void loadURLClass(String classPathURL) throws IOException {
File f = new File(classPathURL);
URL url = f.toURL();
URLClassLoader systemLoader = (URLClassLoader) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
Class systemLoaderClass = URLClassLoader.class;
try { Method method = systemLoaderClass.getDeclaredMethod("addURL", parameters);
method.setAccessible(true);
method.invoke(systemLoader, new Object[] { url });
} catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace();
throw new IOException( "Error, could not add URL to system classloader");
} }
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Log.i("See","**************Before Loading Class Path**************");
try { Class.forName("test.Test1");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println(" Test Class Not Found ....");
} Log.i("See","**************After Loading Class Path**************");
try { loadURLClass("//sdcard//test.jar");
Class c = Class.forName("test.Test1");
Log.i("See"," Test Class Found ....");
Method method = c.getMethod("xyz", null);
Object o = c.newInstance();
String s = (String) method.invoke(o);
Log.i("See","Got method: " + s);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { System.out.println(" Test Class Not Found ....");
} catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
} } }

I have an xml layout that will display a grid made up of textviews within tablerows. The textview names are cell00, cell01, etc. At runtime, my program will determine which cell needs to be changed.
Is there a way get format a name so that it can be passed to the findViewById method at runtime? For example, if cell00 is needed, how can I generate the parm in this code?
TextView currcell = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cell00)
Something like "cell"+00 doesn't compile because the findViewById method doesn't accept a String type. I don't want have every textview name in the grid hardcoded in the program - there must be a better way.

I am using and android 2.2 phone for testing and getting an error.
07-27 01:24:55.692: W/System.err(14319): java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.shoaib.AndroidCCL.MyClass in loader dalvik.system.DexClassLoader@43abbc20
First I wrote the following class:
Code:
package org.shoaib.androidccl;
import android.util.Log;
public class MyClass {
public MyClass() {
Log.d(MyClass.class.getName(), "MyClass: constructor called.");
}
public void doSomething() {
Log.d(MyClass.class.getName(), "MyClass: doSomething() called.");
}
}
And I packaged it in a DEX file that I saved on my device's SD card as `/sdcard/testdex.jar`.
Then I wrote the program below, after having removed `MyClass` from my Eclipse project and cleaned it:
Code:
public class Main extends Activity {
[MENTION=1299008]supp[/MENTION]ressWarnings("unchecked")
[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

I am currently working on a project which requires me to use an XML document to render a form on an Android device. The form must be fetched and displayed at run-time. I am wondering if there is a way to tag the form XML, transform it using XSLT into an Android layout XML, and then have the device render it.

For an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.
I want to add buttons dynamically exactly like in the following XML - but during runtime.

How can I archive this? I tried it with the following code to add a button, but I haven't found a function so far to set layout_x and layout_y. How can I do this?

I want the ability to re-arrange Views in a LinearLayout, without specifying specific pixel locations, at runtime. for my proof of concept, I have a layout with 2 TextViews, one red, and one black. The red TextView is on the left. I want onClick to set it to be on the right, without adjusting margins, as if I'd re-written the XML of the layout, with the red TextView second.

I created my style in styles.xml, lets say MyStyle. I can use it in any layout file by style="@style/MyStyle". Also my generated R class have R.style.MyStyle, my question is if I can use it at runtime to "setStyle" - unfortunately View doesn't have such a method. If not what is R.style.MyStyle used for? (I already know that custom themes IDs are also in R.style and can be used to setTheme, but MyStyle is not a theme).

I have a complex dialog-layout that has to be customized for small screens to decrease its height on such devices. This can easily be achieved by decreasing the height of several single Buttons and Textfields in the layout, each by a small amount. Of course much of the layout still stays the same, so I figured I could use the <include/>-tag. This was the idea:
/res/layout/dialog_layout.xml ==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout"
/res/layout/include_button_layout.xml /res/layout-small/include_button_layout.xml
I figured that android would choose which button-layout to include at runtime. I couldn't get it to run, so I guess I was wrong. And if so, can anyone confirm whether this is the way to do it?
/res/layout/dialog_layout.xml ==> includes "@layout/include_above_buttons"
==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout_default"
==> includes "@layout/include_below_buttons"
/res/layout/include_above_buttons.xml
/res/layout/include_below_buttons.xml
/res/layout/include_button_layout_default.xml
/res/layout/include_button_layout_small.xml
/res/layout-small/dialog_layout.xml
==> includes "@layout/include_above_buttons"
==> includes "@layout/include_button_layout_small"
==> includes "@layout/include_below_buttons"

I want to decompose my UI into several XML Layouts. The first one would be the main layout, and the other ones would be the content layouts.
I would like to be able to set which content_layout should be included dynamically during runtime, so I don't want to set a "layout="@+layout/content_layout" in my XML file.
Here are my layouts:
main_layout.xml:

I have a custom view (an extension of a TextView) that I want to dynamically add to my Layout (don't want to include it in the main.xml file).
The book says to fetch the RelativeLayout using findViewById() in my java code then create a new instance of my custom view, then use addView on the RelativeLayout to add the new view.
I'm not getting any errors, but when I click my button to add the new view, nothing is happening (view isn't being added). Do I need to set additional properties on my custom view (layout width, layout height for example) in order for it to be shown?

I am trying to laod the listview dynamically. There are three textviews inside a listview. The text to be set in the textview is fetched from the server. All this is working fine. I am able to fetch the text and am able to display it inside the listview.
The only problem is the position of the textview. The xml layout file is as under:
CODE:.............
If I look at this xml layout in the eclipse layout tab then it is displayed properly. Problem occurs only when the text is fetched dynamically.

I have a LinearLayout defined in XML that I want to use repeatedly to display elements of a list. The XML-layout looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/background"
android:paddingBottom="5px">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/destination"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="22dp"
android:text="@string/test_destination"
android:paddingLeft="5px"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/date"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:text="@string/test_date"
android:paddingLeft="5px"/>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/info"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingLeft="5px"
android:paddingTop="10px" >
I gather information about certain events from a webpage, and then I want to display all events in a list using the above layout for each event. My current approach is to have a LinearLayout as parent and then adding each event as a row.
Problem number one is to add the layout to each event (the number of events is varying). I.e., I want to dynamically inflate this layout for each event. I also don't want the text to be hard coded into the layout (as above) but added at runtime. I don't know how to do this. I have tried something like the following without any success.
LinearLayout eventView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.layout.event);
parentView.addView(eventView);
Problem number two is then to add these layouts to the parent view group and display it on the screen. When I try to do this using parent.addView(child), the program crashes at runtime and I can't figure out why.
It's kind of hard to describe the specific problem, since I'm new to GUI-programming on Android and I'm sort of programming by trial and error right now. Anyway, if you are able to help me with some of the problems it would be greatly appreciated. Linus
EDIT:
The problem now is adding text dynamically to the TextViews. I try this:
TextView dest = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.destination);dest.setText("myText");
only to discover that dest is null. Any ideas why and how to fix this?
EDIT 2:
I have narrowed the problem even more, but I really don't understand its nature. This is the trouble-method: Code...
it somehow works (even though the events are displayed in reverse order). Anyone knows what's going on here?

I'm currently developing an app for Android which uses google map service. Because users will be able to see thousands of markers I would like to load only those which are currently within the map bounds (i.e. when user look at specific map tile). I know how to do it with javascript/html. However, Android doesn't seem to provide any similar methods such as containsLatLng(latlng) or getBounds (I only found getLatitudeSpan and getLongitudeSpan, but don't know how can I use them in order to achieve the similar effect). Can anyone give me some hint on that?

and f.dex contains some dx'ed implementation of that interface:

The above test driver throws at defineClass() and it doesn't work and I investigated the dalvik code and found this:
