I want to create image buttons with a flexible size so that they can fit in any android device without problems as when creating them the regular way I don't get the required result,
for example:
And on another device:
Here's the code I'm using:
[HIGH]
<GridLayout
android:id="@+id/grid1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
[code]....
I'm working on a site that's supposed to scale fluently down to low resolutions, so that it would work just as well on a phone. This works well in Firefox and Chrome when I just make the window small, but when I try it out on an actual Android phone (Nexus One running Android 2.2), it renders it super-huge! (Using JS's window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight properties, it seems the viewport resolution it reports is 800x1271!.Is there a way to render the page at actual-size in the browser window so I can have my full design show up on the phone? User-agent sniffing is allowed, JS is allowed but discouraged.

I'd like to fix the size of my ImageView so that it only shows a portion of the image if it's larger than a preset amount. I've tried everything I can think of setting the setMaxWidth/setMaxHeight, setting the scale type to centerCrop, using ClipableDrawable wrapping my BitmapDrawable, setting using Drawable.setBounds(). I've tried setting in the XML and programmatically, but neither worked. I'm very surprised setting max width/height didn't do anything. Below is the XML I'm using ImageView definition in my layout file

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo i am trying to get the screen size of the Moto Droid on my application. on my Create, i am using the Service windowManager to get the default display. code...
When i set it i get width of 320 and height 570. that looks wrong, it should be 320x480.
i want to place a 300x50 image on the bottom of the screen on any device (actually) so normally i would get the height of the screen and minus the image height so it places it on a view. but since i am getting 570 for some reason, i have to scroll down to see the image. why is it getting the wrong screen size and is there another more accurate way of getting the size. code...
We have discovered a potential bug in the implementation of AppWidgets. Here is a simple reproducer.
Attached is the code for an application containing a TestActivity and a TestWidget. TestActivity extends MapActivity and TestWidget is a simple widget provider which updates a TextView every 2 seconds. Now if the TestActivity is launched with no instance of TestWidget running, it works just fine. But if the TestActivity is launched after placing the TestWidget on the home, it results in ClassNotFoundException. Here is what we get:
CODE:.............
So it seems we have an inconsistency in the way the class loader works for the same apk.
WORKS - Launch the application by itself, without invoking the Widget. DOES NOT WORK - Create a Widget on the Home screen and then launch the application from the launcher.
The source code for this application (http://www.yousendit.com/ download/TzY3ZGVhZy96NE4zZUE9PQ) has been attached. Hope someone from the Android team can shed light on this behavior.
This error is seen on the 1.5r3 SDK. Not sure if this has been addressed in 1.6 and 2.0 SDKs..
I'm trying to make an AppWidget, and for some reason the Eclipse debugger doesn't suspend on any of the breakpoints I set (but I know the code is executed because I see it working on the emulator). I don't have this problem with other 'regular' apps (non AppWidgets). Is this a known limitation, or is it just a problem on my installation?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have created an AppWidget that takes user inputted text into an EditText and displays a calculated amount of text inside a TextView on the Home Screen. We calculate the amount of text based on the AppWidgetInfo.minWidth, minHeight attributes. We do this to simulate scrolling; we cut up the user-inputted text into chunks that will fit into the widget and swap them based on button clicks.
When we save the widget with the device in Landscape mode, it calculates the appropriate amount of text for Landscape mode and displays it in the widget. The problem is when the user changes orientation of the device to Portrait mode (without opening the widget and resaving the text), the calculated amount of text for Landscape mode is still displayed. This also happens in the vice versa case (the user is in Portrait and saves, etc.)
How can we tell our AppWidget to recalculate the amount of text displayed on screen orientation change? Is this possible? How would you solve this problem?
I'm making an Android AppWidget to sit on the home screen.
The user's home screen space is precious, so I want the widget to be small. The ideal size would be 2x1 cells.
Some documentation suggests you can have any size you like?
But the AppWidget graphical design guidelines imply that only standard sizes are supported: 4x1, 3x3, 2x2.
Does that refer to the available PhotoShop templates or is it a limitation of Android itself?
I'm finding that a 2x1 widget works on my actual device (HTC Wildfire) but expands to 2x2 on the emulator.
HTC have their own special implementation of the home screen, so maybe my widget will only work at 2x1 on HTC devices?
Is there any way to create a 2x1 widget, or should I use a standard size?
My widget was adapted from the Simple Wiktionary sample.
The manifest has android:minWidth="146dip" and android:minHeight="72dip".
There's a RelativeLayout with android:layout_width="fill_parent" and android:layout_height="wrap_content"
I'm just starting with Android, so apologies in advance if this is a silly question. :)
I know the attribute which makes the text "disapear" on the left part of the Edittext to maintain a single line, (singleLine="true"). But my issue is when I fill the edittext before the view is displayed... in this case, my edittexts are all going out of the screen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOk so has anybody heard or experienced their droids screen to be a different size than others? I have two motorola droids and after purchasing some snap on hard cases all of them do not fit mine but they fit the wifes just fine. After very close side by side inspection the only thing that I could see was the bezel around my screen has a steeper angle than hers causing the front part not to clip. Question is if I take mine into a verizon store and show them either by the cases already purchased or ones in the store that they don't fit do you think they would warranty replace it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can create and display a custom alert dialog just fine but even so I have android:layout_width/height="fill_parent" in the dialog xml it is only as big as the contents.
What I want is dialog that fills the entire screen except maybe a padding of 20 pixel.
Then the image that is part of the dialog would automatically stretch to the full dialog size with fill_parent.
From Android widget screen guidelines,we know that, home screen has 4*4 cells, and in portrait orientation, each cell is 80 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. I think these are for baseline HVGA screen. How about for large screens and hdpi screens, do they still have 4*4 cells for widget and each cell in portrait orientation is still 80 pixels * 100 pixels?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a widget. Currently, I'm have a simple ImageView, and calling RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(). I'm using a service to do the updates.
I thought it might be a good idea to reuse an existing RemoteViews instance, so I'm only querying it the first time around, and subsequently simply call setImageViewBitmap() with the new image.
This works well initially, but after some time I first start getting "!!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!" errors, and later, an OutOfMemory exception.
Simply creating a new RemoveViews instance every time works flawlessy on the other hand. I'm just curios why that would be, any ideas?
I searched the forums for this and I couldn't find what I was looking for. Has anyone figured out the best way to resize pictures so they fit the Droids native screen size, so I can see the image full screen?
