Android :: Reference String In String Array Resource With Xml
Nov 12, 2010I have preferences where you can enable/disable what items will show up on the menu. There are 17 items. I made a string array in values/arrays.xml with titles for each of these 17 items.
I have preferences.xml which has the layout for my preferences file, and I would like to reference a single item from the string array to use as the title.
In the Android developer reference, I see how I can reference a single string with XML, but now how I can reference a string from an array resource in XML.

Android :: More Efficient Way To Get Resource ID Of Drawable From Name
Aug 21, 2009I have some image names stored in a database, but the images themselves are in the /res/drawable folder of the application. I need to assign these images to some views at runtime, and I'm currently doing it this way:
// public static final String DRAWABLES_PATH = ":drawable/";
int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(packageName+DRAWABLES_PATH +imageName,null,null); mButtonX.setBackgroundResource(resId); //
Is there a more efficient way to do it? Or should I be storing the images directly in the database (they are many)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Setting An Image View Resource As Drawable
May 2, 2010I am trying to create a drawable in code and change the color based on some criteria. When I try and set the Drawable as the background of the ImageView it displays but won't let me set any padding. I realized I need to set the ImageView image via the setImageDrawable() function in order to be able to set the padding. The problem I am running into is that when I set it via the setImageDrawable() function nothing is displayed.
Here is what I have written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.icon);
ShapeDrawable mDrawable; int x = 0; int y = 0;
int width = 50; int height = 50;
float[] outerR = new float[] { 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12 };
mDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(outerR, null, null));
mDrawable.setBounds(x, y+height, x + width, y);
switch(position){ case 0: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 1: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 2: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 3: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 4: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 5: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 6: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 7: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 8: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffff00); //Yellow break;
case 9: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 10: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 11: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 12: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffa020f0); //Purple break;
case 13: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 14: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffd700); //Gold break;
case 15: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff6600); //Orange break;
} icon.setImageDrawable(mDrawable); icon.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
This results in a space for the ImageView but no image.

Android :: Drawable Resource Images - JPEG Files Supported
May 28, 2010Can I have sub-folders to hold my drawable resources. For example can I store an image in, say, 'res/drawable/content/images/myimage.jpg' and then find that resource via a call to:
id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("com.mycompany.myprog:drawable/ content/images/myimage", null, null);
I have tried this and it doesn't seem to be working (but I may have something wrong). Is it supposed to work or do all the resources need to be in the root drawable folder? Also, are jpeg files supported and drawable resources?

Android :: HTML In String Resource?
Apr 19, 2010I know I can put escaped HTML tags in string resources. However, looking at the source code for the Contacts application I can see that they have a way of not having to encode the HTML.Unfortunately, when I try something similar (like Hello, <b>World</b>!), getString() returns the string without the tags (I can see that in logcat). Why is that? How can I get the original string, with tags and everything? How is the Contacts application doing it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Development String Array Resource Too Big - Crashing App
Nov 24, 2010I have a String Array Resource that has about 1000 drug names
<string-array name="index">
<item>Aspirin</item>
<item>Levitra</item>
....
</string-array>
I tried to load this string array into a String[] inside an activity. Using the same syntax provided by Google's java documentation found here.
Resources res = getResources();
String[] drugs = res.getStringArray(R.array.index);
It appears my string-array has too many records and its causing my App to crash (stack-overflow?) When I reduce the string-array resource to about 506 records, the app works again, but adding even 1 more element in the string-array would crash the app. What should I do? I want to code logic to filter and do other things to the list. I do not have a SQL db in the app so I can't do the processing in the DB. Is there a way to iterate through the string-array resource without loading it into a String []? I notice the resource is a pointer. Or is there an alternative data structure or approach that would work?
Android :: String Resource ID Values Guaranteed To Be Consistent Over Different Projects
Jun 7, 2010I have some messages being passed back from my server through php. The problem is that the messages are in English and if the user is using another language they will still get the message in English.
So I had an idea that maybe instead of passing back the message I would instead pass the String resource Id from the android app, that way the app will get the correct string id for their language. I will use this in a number of apps so I just want to know if the string id is guaranteed to be the same across different android projects?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Syntax For Drawable Resource XML "alias"?
May 14, 2010Does anyone know the syntax for an XML file for a single bitmap drawable resource? What I'm looking to do is "alias" a drawable in my app. I have need for the same image with 2 different names, and rather than including the image twice in my res/drawable directory, I'd rather alias it (it's fairly large). In other words, instead of:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.png
I'd like to have:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.xml
where name2.xml looks SOMETHING like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <bitmap src="@drawable/name1" />
Is this possible? If so, any idea what the syntax should be? I can't find it in the docs, and I've had no luck with trial-and-error.

Oct 1, 2010In Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.
