I have a LinearLayout and I am setting a Background image. I am using a PNG24, and the image has a gradient in it. When I see the image on the computer the gradient is perfect, but when I see it on the emulator or on a real phone, some colors are lost and I see only like 10 colors, so I see lines and not a perfect gradient. Is the emulator 'compressing' the images? Should I make them in other format?

For some reason, on the X10 Mini Pro Toast Notifications are not showing up correctly. It only displays a single line of the Toast, and cuts off the rest so you cannot see the text.
After testing on the X10 Mini, it seems to work fine on this device. So its just the Mini Pro which has the issue...
Its like the Toast is not being wrapped properly, and the text is not being displayed over two lines.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to apply an Alpha gradient to a bitmap that I've created from a PNG. I want the image to be opaque at the top and fade to transparent at the bottom. I know this can be done be using getPixels and setPixels for Bitmap and iterating through each row of pixels in the Bitmap and setting the alpha values accordingly, but i was hoping there was a slightly neater way of doing this. I have been looking at the LinearGradient Class and using a Porter Duff transfer mode, but i don't seem to be having much luck with this. It seems that my source image is lost when i apply the Shader to the drawable. Anyone have any tips on how i might apply an alpha gradient to a bitmap?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my app i have gradient as drawable which i am using as background and i want it to make it look as smooth as possible. After googling and trying by myself i came up with the following. On nexus one if you call only setDither(true) your gradient is still banding so you have to set PixelFormat like this Window.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888). But on the other side G1 does not support RGBA_8888 so calling it make the gradient even uglier than before so Window.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888) will not work well on devices that don't support it.What is the correct way smooth my gradient on all devices on which my app will run.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have got another mysterious issue. So, I am setting a background image for LinearLayout. This image contains gradient. Don't know why, but after I launch application the image appears to consist of several parts that actually form "smooth transition" of gradient, and that's why it seems that background image is not a gradient.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been looking at some issues with the background of our application, particularly on high-density devices (240 dpi, 480x854). I managed to eliminate banding on existing devices (i.e. G1/G2, 160 dpi) by applying the android:dither="true" attribute to our nine-patch image, which is a 1x480px PNG with no noise added. Looks great. However, if I use the same image on a higher resolution device, the banding is pretty nasty looking. Same happens regardless of whether I use a shape+gradient, a noisy nine-patch PNG, or an android:dithered nine-patch PNG -- even if I create an 854px-tall image. Is the use of gradients going to become a problem on high screen density devices, purely because of the display colour depth, or is there any way to solve this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a gray gradient drawable (png image in res/drawable). If I draw it on a white Canvas it looks banded (not smooth). If I put the gradient on white background in GIMP, and then draw this drawable on the Canvas, it looks great. What's the problem? I tested this on Nexus One. Calling setDither(true) on the drawable has no noticable effect.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a shape with a gradient that I'm using as a divider between ListView items. I've defined it as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ccd0d3"
android:centerColor="#b6babd"
android:endColor="#ccd0d3"
android:height="1px"
android:angle="0" />
</shape>
I would like to add 6 pixels of padding on either side of the gradient, so that it doesn't extend from edge to edge of the screen.
However, no matter where I put an android:left="6px" and android:right="6px", it doesn't seem to take effect. I can put it in the <shape> element, the <gradient> element, or in a separate <padding> child of <shape>, and it doesn't change anything.
How can I add padding on the left and right of my list divider?
In my Android application I've hidden the default title bar, introduced a TabView and added my own titlebar under that TabView's tabs. At the moment, I'm using the ?android:attr/windowTitleStyle style which makes my new titlebar look gray and gradient. It looks pretty good, but my screens are looking pretty grayscale. I'd like to spice things up a bit by making this titlebar a different color gradient.
What am I looking at here? Creating my own image and using it? The ?android:attr/windowTitleStyle style seems to expand depending on the height of your custom titlebar; so I'm not sure it's actually a single image.
I've attempted to throw a LinearLayout over it with a bit of translucency (ex: making the color #800000FF), but the gradient style I have behind this LinearLayout disappears.
Update:
Per my answer down below, I've figured out that I can create an XML file that defines a gradient and use that. It works fine inside a LinearLayout (titlebar_gradient) I have on my layout. However, it is not working on the outer-most LinearLayout (background_gradient). Could someone tell me why? As I understand it, the ListView should be transparent...

In my application I need to react on APN changes (including going back and forth between WiFi and GSM connections) and change proxy settings in case it needs to be taken into account to connect with the network. I'm listening for ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcasts to check for APN changes which contains 'reason' extra among others. Unfortunately the 'reason' for APN change is not documented, maybe it should not be used? I was using (with limited success) reason:apnChanged and reason:apnSetupComplete as indicators of APN change being done but that does not work well with going back and forth between WiFi and mobile connection. What is the correct way of listening for changes of current network APN/Interface?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got my droid eris last Feb. 2010. I was always able to retrieve my POP yahoo mail, but it never worked like it should. Then one day a couple of weeks ago, it started working correctly, meaning I would hear a notification sound, the phone would vibrate and there would be a green number on the mail icon on my home page. I don't know what setting I changed, but it was working. Then I decided to get a Mail Plus yahoo account so I could store all my emails in my Mail program on my Mac. I set up it up and all was working.
Then the 2.1 software update came through last week. Mail was not working correctly, so I reset up the yahoo account. The phone did it automatically and I noticed now it's using an IMAP and android.imap.mail.yahoo.com server address. I could retrieve my email OK, but again, it did not work as I expected. Now, in the last 2 days, it is deleting mail from my server when I delete the mail from my phone. There WAS a setting that said Never Delete from Server in the Send/Receive setting area, BUT NOW THAT IS GONE!
