It looks like the naming style for android attributes varies between underscore and camel case. Does the variation mean anything, or is it arbitrary? edit: examples would be layout_width and columnWidth.

I have problem to solve. I have listview in which android:background="#FFFF7W" value I would would like to put it in the android:cacheColorHint= "the value of the android:background".If anybody put some light how to refer the other attribute value to another attribute of the same element would be grateful.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf you are developing Android application, you will encounter such a id naming in xml files of view and layouts :
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/new_game"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_new_game"
android:title="@string/new_game" />
<item android:id="@+id/quit"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_quit"
android:title="@string/quit" />
</menu>
and I am really wondering why such naming is applied to ids. It is because of Linux? What kinda meaning this naming --@+id/...--has? When I am looking at android:icon attribute I can interpret that it means ic_new_game is located under drawable folder and @ means "located at" or I just assume that. But naming id attributes are kinda different because they also have + sign. Can somebody help me understand this convention?
I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to name your phone. For example lets say i named my Droid. Optimus Prime And then i could use voice protocol after saying my phone's name For example Optimus Prime please text autobots (contact group), "Autobots Transform and roll out!" After saying its name the phone would automatically know that Autobots is a contact group and that the message i want texted is "Autobots Assemble!" Is there an app like this already? If there isn't it would be a great idea for one.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAre they that lazy that they cant even give any of there new phones a real name. they just take the name of an older phone and just add the letters "HD" or "Z" to it. and the Desire HD and Z dont even resemble the original Desire is any way at all. also same thing with the Mytouch HD, wich is just a Mytouch 3G slide with out a keyboard. speaking of the Mytouch 3G slide that is another crappy named phone, why couldnt it have been called just the Mytouch Slide instead? did they really need to have "3G" in the title when 99.9 percent of all other android phones have 3G support? and now the Evo 4G and Epic 4G, are they going to have to make EVERY single upcoming 4G android phone have "4G" in the name too? and another thing that pisses me off is the "DROID" name. what idiot at verizon decided it would be a good idea to just rename all of there major androids to have the word Droid in front of it? why couldnt the Droid Incredible and the Droid Eris just be called the HTC Incredible and Eris just like they were originally planned to? and HTC did not even make the original "Droid" phone, so HTC shouldnt even be naming there phone Droid in the first place, ONLY motorola should. what is next? are they going to release another phone for verizon and call it the "HTC DROID Incredible HD"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs said in the Android Reference, the method getAccuracy() of android.location: "Returns the accuracy of the fix in meters. If hasAccuracy() is false, 0.0 is returned." But what does that mean exactly? The diameter or the radius? The Circular Error Probable (CEP), the 95-percentile or something else? I hope they are of the same type in GPS and GSM positioning. Does somebody know where these information are given into the system? As far as i know, are the GSM coordinates returned by a hidden Google API over a Web Service. So no chance to see an exact calculation. But where is the Accuracy of GPS calculated. I thought the GPS receiver only returns a dimensionless DOP value. And with Android 1.5 its not posible to read the NMEA sentences directly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do an update to an app that was released under 1.0 about a year ago. When it was released, I used the package naming convention: "com.android.myApp". At the time, I thought this was the correct naming convention. In retrospect, this is not the case. The AndroidMarket does not accept new apps with "com.android" package names, so I am assuming the way I did it is frowned upon/disallowed. So my question is two-fold. #1: What is a correct method for selecting package names? I have started using a convention "com.myAppClass.appname". Where "myAppClass" is a arbitrary name that applies to a group of related apps and "appname" is the specific application (e.g. "com.mycategory.appDemo" and "com.mycategory.appFull"). Is this right? #2: What do I do about the app already released as a "com.android" package? My assumption is to recreate it using the above convention. What will the effect be on users who want to upgrade the application through the market or will the market even accept an upgrade version using a different package name?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn android, most event listener methods return a boolean value. What is that true/false value mean ? what will it result in to the subsequence events ?class MyTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {@Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {logView.showEvent(event);return true;}Regarding to the above example, if return true in onTouch method,I found every touch event(DOWN,UP,MOVE,etc) has been captured according to my logView. On the contrary,if return false, onely the DOWN event been captured. So it's seemd that return false will prevent the event to propagate. Am I correct ?Furthermore, in a OnGestureListener, many methods have to return a boolean value too. Do they have the same meaning ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHere http://source.android.com/submit-patches/code-style-guide#shortmethods it is stated that :
"Field Names
* Non-public, non-static field names start with m.
* Static field names start with s.
* Other fields start with a lower case letter.
* Public static final fields (constants) are ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES.
also states that : "The rules below are not guidelines or recommendations, but strict rules. You may not disregard the rules we list below except as approved on a need-to-use basis." I don't like the "m" convention before private or package fields in a class... I really find this uninspired. I mean, if we try to apply good designs, the low coupling of the classes implies having few public fields. actually, in my programs I usually have no public fields, even when I need some I use getters and seters. so, why should I be forced to have almost all my fields in the program with an "m" in front of them? wouldn't be easier to have the few public fields, if there are any, with some "g" in front or something? or just use setters and geters as beans suggest? this really makes my code harder to read. also, following these guidelines, local temp variables used in the methods have no restriction so they could easily be mistaken for public global fields (also without restriction). this also I find to be wrong, as it is a probable source of mistakes. I understand to have a way of differentiating from fields, but private/protected member fields are the most used in an application, they shouldn't be less "readable". what do you think? should I follow the guidelines?
I tried enough to find in google & android this question. Also did several trials & errors, but couldn't get this question. was learning Android's "Draw Nine Patch" images. One basic I know is that, whatever image you process must be in .png format (if it's already in .9.png then it will be ignored by tool). However, couldn't understand what it literally means by "stretchable patches" ? what exactly happens when you draw black dots outside the .png image ? (preview pane shows changes happening, but I am unclear on how it makes those)When I draw black dots in left/top sides of image it shows some changes in preview; but why isn't there any effect when you do the same on right/bottom side of the image ? why this tool is used primarily for background, when we try to process on the image itself ?i am trying to modify a simple button.png (given in android sdk). Whenever I use this tool & draw black lines, it reduces the size of the image instead of 'stretching' it! Why ?What is the significance of options given below like, "show lock", "show content", "Patch scale" and so on ?I apologize for asking so many questions, but in Android online docs they haven't explained well for novice. If someone can answer these, it will become ready reference for all the begineers who search this forum.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI finally decided to use styles and themes instead of tediously setting attributes for each individual view. I was able to get the style to work when I set it on android:textAppearance, but when I try to just set it right on the style attribute like below, it no longer applies.This is happening to me for Buttons as well as TextViews. What I want is to be able to have a few different styles for text views and buttons and then just set the style on each button or text view.The style will need to define textSize, textColor, background and maybe a few others.Since background and some other things are not textAppearance,I need to use the general style attribute.
