I have a layout with dynamic content. It has a variable number of textviews. On each textview I have to attach an event, a click event. I have to pass to that event some kind of information to know what textview has been clicked exactly. How can I pass this kind of information or how is the android way to do it?

I am looking for a way to create dynamic preferences where I don't need to hard code the preference key and I could have a variable number of preferences. Basically, my application will let the user create a multiple number of profiles and each of these profiles will save custom values for a fixed number of preferences. So this way, the user does not have to change the preferences every time he wants this app to run differently, he can just switch the profile. One way I think will work is by subclassing all the standard Preference classes and calling their setKey method with my custom preference key, containing the profile name, but this is ugly. So is there a cleaner and more standards compliant way to do this?

I would like to design a layout for my android app which has imageviews/Textviews placed as shown in the figure below.
Right now, i tried to use Absolute layout, but i know that will create problems as the screen size changes.
I am a complete newbie with tasker. I am trying to create a profile with which I wish to auto-send an sms to wish people, for example on their birthday. So birthdays, set from contact appear on my calendar as "personName. Birthday"
I am able to trigger an action reading "*Birthday" in calendar event. But how do I pass the personName from the trigger, that matched "*Birthday" to the action to use as contact (directly or by extracting number for that contact) and the enter in the message like: Happy Birthday personName!
How can I layout 2 TextViews and a SeekBar on the same line in my layout xml file? I know But how can i specify TextView (one on the right, one on the left) to use only the width it needs to display the string in the TextView while SeekBar will use up the rest of the line? And i don't know the text vale of each TextView in the beginning and these TextView can change value in my application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a layout which might be a bit unusual.
The structure is the following:
CODE:..............
My customRelativeLayout at the bottom of the XML has a XML layout too:
CODE:.............
My CustomRelativeLayout:
CODE:.....................
What I want to do: I want to be able to change the position of my CustomRelativeLayout. It should be follow my touch. Its smaller than the SurfaceView and should "slide" above following my touch...
There are two problems:
The onTouchListener bind to mLinearLayout (in CustomRelativeLayout) is only triggered once and only for ACTION_DOWN. I see the log output only once The note never changes the position, it is never redrawn with the changed matrix... I see the output stated in onDraw never after the touch happened.
First might be because the SurfaceView also handles touch events. But I thought if the CustomRelativeLayout handles it first, it should work.
Thanks to Xil3 I was able to remove the wall I was run into...
Here is my solution:
My note xml:
CODE:.................
And here is my constructor:
CODE:..................
I also found a bug/feature/issue, which is absolutely new for me: When I remove the background in my note root element (which is currently transparent) the note is only visible within the 200dp width/height I have set in the inner LinearLayout. So its not fill_parent, its wrap_content even as I set it to fill_parent. So layout_width and layout_height only use the given fill_parent when a background is set...
For an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.
I want to add buttons dynamically exactly like in the following XML - but during runtime.

I was wondering if it's possible to set an automatic/dynamic margin (padding?) between elements in an Android layout without having to do it programmatically?
For example let's say there is a horizontal LinearLayout which is set to android:layout_width="fill_parent" and that contains five elements. Is there a setting that evenly shares the remaining empty space of the LinearLayout to the margins of the child elements?
See image at http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8/margin.png
I want to display contact information in a custom layout. My app lets the user select a contact, then I retrieve key pieces of info on that contact (phone #'s, email addy's, etc). I want to display them to the user so they look grouped logically. Sort of like a series of tables, so phone numbers, then email addys, then organization, etc.
I have a table format that I've been using in a different part of the app where I know the exact number of rows I'm adding and I have defined styles for the rows already. I want to reuse those styles for this data, but android sdk won't allow for you to set the style attribute programmatically.
I could create the tables in code and set all the attributes the same as in my defined styles, but it seems like a lot of extra coding.
I'm dealing with a problem you guys might not have faced earlier. I'm having a use-case in my Android application where the actual screen that I want to show to user is not stored in any layout file of my application. The layout of the of the screen is designed by server in this case, based on selection made by user on first screen.
Let me elaborate here,
1st Screen : List of check box with different biller names. (Imagine I've selected 2 billers from this screen)
2nd Screen : (The screen that server has decided how it should look like)
* Header,
* 1st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 1st Biller TextBox
* Image (a Separator image)
* 2st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 2st Biller TextBox.
* Here there can be a checbox/radio/another TextBox anything.
* Image (a Separator image)
* Button (to submit above form back to server)
I hope makes some sense in what I'm planning to design. The current issues I'm dealing with are as below.
1). How to draw this dynamic widgets?
2). How to fetch user Inputs from this dynamically created widgets?
I want to make a dynamic layout which contains mixed elements
[text] [checkbox] [button]

I'm trying to get my first Android app stable enough for the marketplace, and I've hit a brick wall with one exception that I don't understand. Probably I'm doing something stupid, but I can't tell what, and after several hours googling and experimenting, I thought I'd see if I can get some help. My Activity extends ListActivity, and the parts I think are most important are extracted below:
GroupedListAdapter is a simple class that extends BasedAdapter to provide headings for sections of the list (not unlike the Fancy ListView tutorials that are floating around).
I create this in onCreate, and it works fine. Inside onListItemClick, I do some actions which will create a different set of list contents. I "clear" the adapter, which empties the contents, and call reload, which repopulates it. Then I call notifyDataSetChanged.
Most often, this seems to work, but also fairly often, I get the exception following the code snippets below - this seems to indicate the ListView is not in sync with my changes. Lately this crash happens 100% of the time under the simulator.

I have a layout question.
Say I have a RelativeLayout appearing at the bottom of my screen. In this, I want to add 2 textviews, in the center, one in the top center and one in the bottom center.
|--------------------------|
| Text1 |
| Text2 |
|--------------------------|
Something like that.
How can I pass a string from an activity to a layout?
I can pass arrays from an activity to a layout with the following activity code...
Is there a simpler way to just pass a single string instead of any array of strings, from an activity to a layout?
Is copying the reference to the object and not the value of the object. Meaning, when I modify pos.top or pos.bottom, the original object gets modified. I'm guessing I am missing a concept of pass object by reference vs value here which I thought I understood. What is the fix here? Is it a problem with how I defined my custom class?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to add a non-native shared library to Android so every application on the device would be able to use it. I mean using packaged classes just like a core library as if they were present in the application itself. I studied Android source code to figure out a way to add a new path to the application ClassLoader and found out that it is created during startup and there's no way to change the paths later. I can use my own ClassLoader, but all I will get after loading a class will be a reference to a Class object. This way I will be bound to work through reflection mechanism, which is slower than the native execution system Is there any way to organise a shared library on Android?

I'm stuck on a problem and if possible I will need help from the community. I'm not looking for a ready-made solution, but something which would help me to produce the result.
I'm looking for a way to produce a dynamic activity based on a JSONArray object.
Here an example of a JSONArray object:
[ { "name": "my checkbox name",
"type": "checkbox",
"value": "one,two,three"
}
{ "name": "my edit text",
"type": "text",
"value": ""}...]
This JSONArray could be totally random. It could have 2 text views, 3 select menus, 1 text view and so on.
The goal is to iterate over this JSONArray and create the appropriate elements within my android code.
To produce the result I've thought of a simple switch which would render one by one my different JSONArray to an android widget.
But after that how could I have access of every property of every widget rendered?
Edit: I need as well to assign an event listener on some widget as taking the GPS coordinated...
I am trying to develop an app and I want it to bring in data from a mySQL database. But from some reading I have done on different sites, I am realizing that it is probably not going to happen. But I am curious to know, how do apps like PhoneFlix and others view that dynamic data on the application? Does it somehow just bring it in through http? If so, how would I go about doing that? Does anyone know of any good sites that will point me in the right direction?

I can set the background image to a resource in an xml file, and I can also change the color of a TextView on event firing, but for some reason I can't do both at the same time.

I am parsing data through the web service. I want the flipping horizontally rather than vertically. Here is a tutorial where ViewFlipper is used but it is for static data.
Suppose we have 2 activities with their respective xml files: Splash Activity ->splash.xml Menu activity ->menu.xml Now how we can flip between these 2 activities? That is from splash to menu and vice versa.
