I was wondering if it is possible to start a ListActivity and in real time decide how far down the list it should be focused on. (Example: When the activity is started it checks for certain conditions and then it may scroll down to a row partially through the list.)

I'm working on an application that displays the location of moving items on a Google MapView. I need a way to update the position of the icons that represent the items (as well as change the facing of the icons every two seconds as updated data comes in). I currently have an activity in the app that extends MapActivity. On to this I have overlaid a static Overlay that draws some lines on the map and an ItemizedOverlay that draws a static icon.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am aware of setSelection(), setSelectionFromTop(), and setSelectionAfterHeaderView(), but none of them seems to do what I want.
Given an item in the list, I want to scroll so that it is in view. If the item is above the visible window of the list, I want to scroll until the item is the first visible item in the list; if the item is below the visible window, I want it to scroll up until it is the last visible item in the list. If the item is already visible, I don't want any scrolling to occur. How do I go about this?
I'm wondering if it is possible to move markers when using a MapView. I use a fullscreen MapView which has a few (not more than 5) markers which I would like to move and update by just moving the markers to a new position.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a listview displaying my data.Ok. I want to set the scroll position in a position of my choice, but I just cant do it. I used :
myListView.setSelection( anyPosition ); myListView.setSelected(true); and has not worked. I also tried : myListView.scrollTo(0, PositionY); and myListView.scroolBy(0, PositionY);
and there's a strange behavior, this two methods doesn't put the scrool in the "PositionY", it made the "PositionY" be the first position in the list, cutting everything that exist before.
I have a long listView that the user scrolls around and then returns to the previous menu. What I want is that when the user opens this list View again the list to be scrolled to where the it was previously left. Any ideas on how this can be achieved ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my app, my main class extends ListActivity and calls a fillData() function to reload the list whenever changes are made. I'm still getting the hang of this, so I borrowed that concept from the Android Notepadv1-Notepadv3 tutorials. Everything works great, however whenever I need to change the list (remove an item, re-sort it, edit an item), the ListView refreshes and loses its scroll position. The scroll position is reset to the top after each fillData() call.
It appears to be resetting the scroll position to the top because I'm using setListAdapter() each time in fillData(), setting it to a new SimpleCursorAdapter. How can I get the list to "update in place", where the scroll position is seamlessly maintained to the user? I tried heading down the "items.changeCursor(cursor)" path, but that didn't seam to do much for me.......................
In a ListView/CursorAdapter, it is easy to go from a position to an itemId
CODE:..........
Is there any way to do the reverse mapping? From an itemId, get its position in the list?
I've just added a header to my ListView and I have to change a bunch of code because the header essentially becomes position 0 (Meaning the Cursor indices of my CursorAdapter do not line up with the indicies of the list. They are off by 1 now). Why? This seems a bit silly to me.
The only reason I can come up with is that a developer may want to access the header. Fine. Provide something like getListView().getHeader().
I am using a ListView with an ArrayAdapter that holds objects. When I select an item, I am capturing the position and index of the selected item. If I scroll down prior to selection, the position and index represent the location of the item in the list. Selecting that items takes me to another activity. When I use the back button to return to the list, it seems that the ListView gets a new position and index for the visible items.
As a result, I can't figure out how to reference the selected item during the restart() of the ListView Activity. I have tried to capture position and index, but as I've said, they change upon returning to the Activity.
Is my understanding of the ListView "redraw" correct? Does it renumber my items based on what's visible? -When in the life cycle is getView() called? Is there a way to force an update to the ListView so that my captured index still points to the same object?
How can I maintain the position of my ListView in my activity when I go to another activity (by launching another intent) and then come back (press the back button)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm building a chat room application where new events are being polled for every X seconds. Every time that happens, this code updates the RoomAdapter (a custom subclass of ArrayAdapter) with the new data and scrolls it to the bottom:
RoomAdapter adapter = (RoomAdapter) getListAdapter();
for (int i=0; i<newEvents.size(); i++)
adapter.add(newEvents.get(i));
getListView().setSelection(events.size()-1);
This is fine, except that if the user is scrolling up to glance at the room's history, it's going to jump her down to the bottom when the poll happens. What I'd like to do is have it so that if the user is already at the bottom of the list, it stays there after a poll for new events. If the user's intentionally scrolled upwards, I'd like the user not to be disturbed.
How do I detect when I'm already scrolled to the bottom of a ListView?
Note: I can't do getListView().getSelectedItemPosition(), because as the docs note, calling setSelection when in touch mode does not actually select the item, just scrolls to it.
My app is mainly made up of a listview linked to a simplecursoradapter (custom one I might add) which in turn uses a cursor which gets the data fed in from a dbadapter class.
using the dbadapter class I can retrieve data using the rawquery and query methods no problem. However I am trying to allow the user to enter a month in and then the app will scroll to that month in the list , instead of the user having to scroll through several months to get there.
This is where I am struggling, I have tried to move to the position within the original cursor and then calling changeCursor from the simplecursoradapter with no luck and tried using the listview with smothscrolltoposition again with no luck and even tried to notifydatachangedset (probably got that named wrong) and then within the custom simplecursoradater try and move to it but that does not work either.

Is there a simple way to change the contents of a dialog box in Android without having to re-create the dialog box? I know that Activity.onCreateDialog() is only called once when the dialog first needs to be created, and this is where you initially set the dialog's contents. I need to change the dialog's contents later, so I'm wondering what is the proper way to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSay my app has a widget and I use a configuration screen to do initial app widget setup and set a few preferences.
I want the user to be able to change those settings by simply going into my app's settings screen and clicking an intent preference to open up the same options the user was given when the app was created.
Can I use the same activity as the configuration activity? Will I have to handle it differently? How does the existing widget get updated with the new settings?

I trying to understand how a new process is being created based on AndroidManifest.xml, also looking for the possibility of creating/ forking a new Java process/new DVM instance at runtime.
I could find that using Runtime.exec one can issue system commands or launch native applications, but this is not what I am looking for, I am looking for creating an equivalent java process just as the parent java process.
Can I launch an installed android application at runtime from another android application? Whats the way for doing this?
On my htc i was looking through display, i see g sensor calibration and i perform this calibration and after i do so the screen seems to have a delay when switch from the horizontal position to the vertical position. its weird because when i switch to the phone horizontally it switch normally and responds fast. but when i switch back to vertically it takes almost 7 seconds to actually switch back, sometimes it switch within 2 or 3 secs but never as quick as switching horizontally.

If you're already updated, shut down and repower (soft reboot) should do the trick. I actually updated my phone and after it started to do this. I restarted the phone plenty of times i even took the battery out for 30 seconds. It only does it when im texting on the browser, basically everything but the camera. He camera screen rotation is perfect. I even rooted the phone but i havent figured out how to use the root to fix the problem. Should i do a firmware update? Because i just did the htc software update.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Android application with a main activity that is the tabhost. I'm adding multiple tabs to the tabhost with an intent to several activities.
My problem is that these activities are not created (onCreate is not called) until I click on the tab. This is a problem because I need to register broadcastreceivers: there may be broadcasts that are sent -before- a particular tab is opened.
I tried to work around this by:
Setting my receivers as static and registering from somewhere else. This is not possible because I need to call into methods.
Calling into tabHost.setCurrentTabByTag(the_tag) and then switching back to my root tab. This only works sometimes and this is a very ugly solution imo.
Not using activities but just using views instead. Also not a very elegant solution because it turns my tabHost activity into one huge master class doing all kinds of unrelated things.
A question that might be a bit general/basic knowledge, but for me it has a quite direct background, so i'll form it as an example:
I have an activity "entry" showing something equivalent of a blogpost, that might have comments. You can click somewhere to open a "comments" activity. But in this activity there are links back to entries, creating a nice line of activities.
If I call the "entry" activity (with an intent) on a link to show this entry, am I re-using the old activity, or am I creating an endless string of entry, comment, entry, comment activities (pretty cost- ineffective that would be).
I have a TabActivity. Within this activity (in the onCreate method) I create a TabHost and a TabSpec and do a tabSpectSearch.setContent(intenSearch); The Indent is created using intentSearch = new Intent().setClass(this, MyActivity.class);
As far as I already found out the class MyActivity is instantiated when I select the tab, to which it is connected. Is there a way from my TabActivity to force the creation of all activities (all tabs) at once?
