I want to populate a table, defined in layout xml file through the programmatic way. I have define Table with a single row defining its header, with all the attributes set. Now i want to know a way so that i can just replicate that header row in the table with new content.
I tried using inflator inflate(int,view) method, but at runtime it showed up with error.
Here is the XML code for the layout file defining the table

When i ran my old application in 1.6 i noticed that the progress bar was not showing up on the screen.When i analyzed it further i found the issue.The progress bar is getting activated but its not visible since my background color is also white.When i changed the background color i was able to see the progress bar.Is there no other way to make the progress bar visible other than changing the background color..Shouldn't the progress bar be visible under all background colors??
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone knows if it's possible to animate different views during the same animation: I have a linear layout containing 6 dices (each dice extends a textview) and I need to animate each dice to simulate a roll (each dice will rotate on itself). I know how to do this rotation on each dice by using 6 animations, but I want to group these animations in one, so that I would be able to add an animation listener to execute further instructions at the end of this animation. I tried with an animationset but didn't manage to do it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few views and animations and I need to figure out a way to package them so I can use them throughout my app. I thought I should be able to use ViewGroup, however, things are getting a bit complicated as my animations need to repeat and to achieve that I have applied the technique with an AnimationListener posting to a Runnable when the animation stops so it plays again in a loop. Also they all have different startOffset values, and I'm not sure how a ViewGroup can handle that as well. What is the best practice for hadnling multiple views and animations?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden my girlfriend's Nexus One is rebooting somehow. She fires up her phone, it boots just fine, after a few seconds when everything is loaded, u can scroll thru the menus etc, it seems to reboot, but real fast, the animation comes up, and 2sec later the home screen is visible again. It keeps doing this.
Any ideas? The phone is not rooted, no custom rom, just a few regular apps form the market installed, nothing fancy.
Currently I'm working on a dialog which consists of title, description, tags and footer. The title can be long and in this case the text should automatically be displayed in multiple lines. The description is also longer and should fill multiple lines.
At the bottom of the dialog has to be the footer (also if the title and description don't fill whole screen).
I tried to do create the layout described about but had a problem with long text - if the content is long it doesn't display multiple lines but extends main view (LinearView) so the content extends over the visible area.
Here I'm pasting the print screen of the current state and the mockup of the desired layout:
TextView "Footer" and buttons OK and Cancel should appear at the bottom of the screen and the title ("Title Title Title...) and description text should automatically appear in multiple lines instead of extending the parent view.
Imagine I have a toolbar implemented as a horizontal LinearLayout as follows:
[___Button1____] [___Button2___] [___Button3___] [___Button4___]
When someone clicks on Button2, I want the toolbar to change to:
[___Button1____] [___________Button2___________] [___Button3___]
The toolbar should transition from the first state to the second state through a smooth animation. I would like to use a scale animation on Button2, and while that is happening, Button3 and Button 4 should move to the right (while the animation is going on). At the end of the animation (or maybe during), I will fade Button4 out.
Question: How do I achieve an animation of the layout of the toolbar such that only one component (i.e. Button2) is being scaled while the others are not being scaled - the layout is simply updated during the animation of Button2.
I looked at LayoutAnimationController, but it does not appear to allow me to either:
1. specify different animations for the different components, OR
2. indicate that only animate one component and don't animate the others.
I can't scale the entire toolbar because that distorts Button1/3/4 which I don't want.
I have a layout that is three linear layouts. The top has some icons and the middle has a tabhost. Each tabhost has a list inside it. The bottom linearlayout has two buttons that should stay at the bottom on the screen at all times. The problem is when a list in the tabhost gets too long, it displays over the buttons. I tried to find some way to get the buttons to bedisplayed over the list but have failed so far.

Im using ListView to to show some custom data, once data is updated in the adapter i call notifyDatasetChanged(), so the view will get updated, all of this works well, my issue though is i would like to run an animation once only on items that got changed when the adapter was updated. currently i keep a copy of all the changed objects and i tried to animate the correct items through the getView() call.
However if i do it only once for every getView call then i see no animation most of the time on items that changed. if i continue to do so in successive getView calls i see animation on items that don not change as well and also the ones that changed get animated again and again.
Im guessing sometimes android calls the getView() for other reasons than showing the generated view immediately, and thats the reason it doesnt work if i do it once.
I'm looking for a simple animation example using the android SDK for displaying a little animation between views.
Basically when we have a list view and a detail view - lets have a 'transition' animation between them.
When ever I try to animate a view using a simple xml based animation, it seems to have default interpolator set of some kind as the motion is not truly linear.
Is there a way to set the default animation interpolator to linear and remove the lag in the start/end of the animation.
Is there a way to get all the children views of a layout, from the Java code so that I can loop through them and set an attribute? Specifically, I'd like to set the "layout_width" based on the screen size. Since this "layout_width" would be the same for all the views, I'd prefer to loop through instead of calling each individual View separately by their id. The following is my main.xml:
<?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">
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/myRow1" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"> <TextView android:text="1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="2" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="3" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="4" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="5" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="6" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am facing problem in fixing the child in particular place in views or layout.
1) Can I fix the child at the starting and ending of Layout directly?
2) Can I fix the child at the starting or ending of the view directly?
I have a number of child views, each child is a TableRow and I need to be able to change the order of the TableRows, such that I can swap the rows into any order. I know there is a method called removeAllViews() but I don't really want to remove and re-create the views if its possible to access and change the order. I really want the display to update as smoothly as possible, taking the minimum amount of time, is it possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a set of custom views that I would like to add to a LinearLayout object. However, the first object I add to the layout (I do this dynamically, during runtime) has a OnMeasure method that tries to get as much space as possible resulting in that it get's all the space LinearLayout object. This is correct behavior, but when I then add more objects following that I want the allocated area for the first object to decrease so the others will fit. As it is now, each following object will get zero space, and hence won't be visible.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to add a view dynamically that overlaps other views in the layout. I have Linear Layout defined for the activity. As part of the Layout I have a custom View. The content changes dynamically and sizes appropriately based on the content size, with fill_parent for width and wrap_content for height. But what I want is, dynamically take over the full screen and then based on a click go back to the normal mode. Is there a mode to display a view where - in it can overlap all other views in the layout?

I'd like that one image is on the left side of the screen, one in the middle, and one on the right side. However all of them are on the left side.
Let's say you want to have a TextView and a Button in a Layout with horizontal orientation. Can you have the TextView aligned to the left and the Button - to the right?

I am adding a series of custom views to a LinearLayout. I have overridden the onMeasure method of these custom views, to return the dimensions based on certain parameters. Based on user input, I would like to change these parameters, to change the size of the views. How can I force the LinearLayout to "re-layout" it's children, to reflect the new dimensions?

I have read the Android UI trick 2 on Android developers, which tells people how to include a layout in another layout file multiple times, and give these included layouts different id. However, the sample here is overwriting the layout id, not the id of the views IN this layout. For example, if the workspace_screen.xml looks like this: And I include it three times in another layout file. Do I end up with three TextViews with id firstText, and another three with secondText? Isn't there an id collision? And how do I find the secondText TextView in the third included layout with findViewById? What should I input in the findViewById method?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I achieve the following layout in Android?
What I would like, is to have the 3 blue boxes top aligned in their view, and then I'd like to have the red box centered underneath the blue boxes, but so that when I animate the red box up, it slides underneath the blue box.
I have tried placing the blue and red boxes in different layouts, but as soon as I animate the red box up, if it goes outside the border of its layout, it disappears (I don't want the red box's layout to clip the red box, I want the red box to slide under the blue box so that the blue box occludes the red box.)
I have also managed to create this layout using a series of nested layouts, but because of the draw order, the red box always appears on top of the blue box. I attempted to use the bringToFront() method, but I found out that this only works on sibling views within the same layout. Unfortunately I can't get this type of layout while keeping all 4 views within the same layout. Any suggestions? (also, if anyone has better suggestions for the title of this question I'm all ears)
Does anyone know how to make a ListView object larger such that more than one Entry item is visible at the same moment ? Both parents are already set with "fill_parent" but the view continues to show one-and- a-half Entries.

And yay! I get my new frame. However, the parent window disappears (goes black).
Having a normal dialog: <activity android:name=".MyActivity" android:theme="@android:style/ Theme.Dialog"> keeps the parent window visible.
Can I have a custom frame on a dialog and keep the parent window visible?
