I am on my first Android application and I am on a timeline so details and examples will be useful since my knowledge is still minimal. I want my first screen to present the user with a list of activities to choose from. In my situation it is a recipe app where the user first chooses the type of food, such as, Beef, Chicken, or Pork. I want the application to launch an activity depending on the list item that the user clicked on. I am not sure if I should use a list view, a text view, a scroll view, a list activity, an activity group...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need some help using ListActivity. The API provides "onListItemClick" which you can override and is called when user selects an item in the list.
However I want the same type of functionality when an item in the list is selected. So as soon as user highlights something in the list I want my application to do something (like play a preview). I dont want to wait for user to select the button.
I'm just beginning Android development, and I'm working to get a Custom list view with a checkbox working. I've created a base class that extends Activity, Created an Adapter and overrode the getView() method to add the checkbox to the list view. I'm assuming I need to do this because I need something equivalent to didSelectRowIndexAtPath from Obj C to update my model. Please let me know if there's an alternate way of doing this too Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm trying to change background color when an item is selected. Something like using a color selector, but actually it crashes. I've created a list_selector.xml inside /res/color/.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:state_focused="true" android:color ="@ color/ plain_yellow"/><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:color ="@color /plain _yellow" /><item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android: state_active="true" android:color="@color/ plain_yellow" /><item android:color="@android: color/ transparent" /></selector> plain_yellow is a color i've defined in /res/values. I've tried to assign that selector programatically and using the xml, but the app crashes. Am i doing something wrong?
View 2 Replies View RelatedTrying to implement simple dictionary. I want to make it so while the user is typing in the EditText box the list to scroll automatically to the best match. I don't want it to filter the list. For example if the user types "s" in the EditText I want the first word that s/he sees under the EditText box to be the first word in the dictionary that starts with "s." But the user should still be able to slide up and down and to be able to see the entire list of words. It is basically like a go to functionality. I used ArrayList to store my list of words. The data is in res/raw/data.xml file. Here is my onCreate method

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wordListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.wordList);

arrAdap = new ArrayAdapter<Word>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, words);
wordListView.setAdapter(arrAdap); try {
InputStream inSource = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.data);
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inSource, null);
NodeList wordsList = doc.getElementsByTagName("eng-bg");
int length = wordsList.getLength();
for(int i = 0; i<length; i++) {
Element entry = (Element)wordsList.item(i);

Word word = new Word(bulgarian, english, wordId);
addNewWord(word);

I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a newbie coder and new to the SDK. I was just playing around with an app that i made. I wanted to know as to how to retrieve the item id of the selected item from the spinner when the spinner is re- populated.
For example, I created 2 spinners, if you selected item 0 from spinner1 then spinner2 will have a bunch of items and if you selected item 1 from spinner1 then spinner2 will have a different set of items. Now, my question is that when i select item 1 from spinner 1 then the items in spinner2 dont have different ids. So how do i differentiate from the two sets of data?
To illustrate,
User selected item 0 in spinner1 -> spinner2 gets data from array1 -> item 0 in spinner2 has id '0' and item text is "apple"
User selected item 1 in spinner1 -> spinner2 gets data from array2 -> item 0 in spinner2 has id '0' and item text is "oranges"
I know this sounds confusing but i hope the right people understood it..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a context menu in separate class from the listview, because the contextmenu will be access by several listviews in different classes. Whenever I long-click the listview, contextmenu pops up, but nothing happens when the options were chosen. Tried to look at logcat message and it said something like this:
Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@43c488f8
Any idea what really causing this problem? cause it works perfectly fine if i put the contextmenu on the same class as listview.

I created two Spinners to display the data in my application. In my first Spinner, the first item of the list is always displayed directly, but in the second Spinner nothing is displayed, even if I click on an item on the drop down view. Can anybody explain this behaviour?

I have an activity with a ListView check list and a spinner that controls the sort order of the items in that check list. One of the sort options is to move the checked items to the beginning of the list. I would like to allow users to check some items in the list, select the 'sort by checks' option, check some more items in the list, and select the 'sort by checks' option again. However, I don't see how to detect that second selection of the spinner's 'sort by checks' option.
I've tried using setOnItemSelectedListener, but it doesn't call the onItemSelected handler unless a different item is selected. And I've tried using setOnItemClickListener, but it seems that listener cannot be used with a spinner according to following run-time exception from logcat:
- - - D/AndroidRuntime( 987): Shutting down VM W/dalvikvm( 987): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4000fe70) E/AndroidRuntime( 987): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception E/AndroidRuntime( 987): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.test.spinner/com.test.spinner.check_list}: java.lang.RuntimeException: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.

Any tips on how to detect the selection of an already selected item in a spinner?
How can you set the event listerner for a Spinner when the selected item changes>
basically what I am trying to do is something similar to this:

I have a custom listview row that contains a number of textView components. Instead of the "standard" single text item, I have created a item where each listview row contains several bits of information. For this example, I have a record id, a name, and a description for each row in the listview. I have my listview populated via
this.mDbHelper = new RecordDBAdapter(this); this.mDbHelper.open();
Cursor c = this.mDbHelper.fetchAllRecords(); startManagingCursor(c);
String[] from = new String[] {RecordDBAdapter.ROW_ID, RecordDBAdapter.NAME,
RecordDBAdapter.DESCRIPTION};
int[] to = new int[] {R.id.recordId, R.id.lblName, R.id.lblDescription};
// Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
SimpleCursorAdapter records = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.record_row, c, from, to); this.list.setAdapter(dives);
Now what I want is to be able to access the recordId value within each clicked item. I've tried to follow the Android tutorials to no avail. They do something like
Object o = adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
but that still doesn't help either. What I really want is to get the value of the recordId within each selected listItem. Does anyone know how this would be accomplished? Here is my onItemClick event:
protected OnItemClickListener onListItemClick = new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int position, long rowId) {
// My goal is either to grab the value of the
// recordId value from the textView, or from the adapter.
//Object o = adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
//Tried this, no joy
Intent intent = new Intent(NeatActivity.this, SomeOtherActivity.class);
// intent.putExtra("selectedRecordId",val); //val here is a numerical record row id being passed to another activity.
startActivity(intent); } };
1) A ListView with many items (i.e. scrolling will occur at some point)
2) At the beginning, the selection is at the top (item #0)
3) User is scrolling down (i.e. we're not in touch mode)
4) For the first items, the selection is moving down without the list to scroll.
5) Once the selected item is reaching the middle of the list's viewport: the list starts to scroll-down.
6) Then, toward the end of the list: scrolling stops and the selection keeps moving down until the last item is reached.
It's a common feature in (keyboard-enabled) UI frameworks but I don't believe it's possible to achieve with Android, as for now... Right?
I have a ListActivity, and long-pressing on an item brings up a context menu. One item in the context menu is "delete", and that brings up a confirmation box (and AlertDialog). When the user presses OK in the confirmation dialog, I need to know the ID of the item that was originally selected, so that I can actually delete it.
The flow looks like this:
This event: Causes Android to call:
-----------------------------------------------------
Long press an item -> onCreateContextMenu()
Select context menu item -> onContextItemSelected()
call showDialog()-> onPrepareDialog()
user clicks OK -> onClick()
In onCreateContextMenu and onContextMenuSelected, I can get at the id of the selected item from the ContextMenuInfo. In onPrepareDialog, however, I no longer have access to that information. The rub is that onPrepareDialog needs this information to set up an onClick listener on its POSITIVE button.
I know that, during onContextMenuSelected, I can stash the selected item's ID away into a field of my activity. I have done that, and it works. But it's also really ugly. The statefulness that it introduces makes me uneasy. Has anybody else seen a better way to pass such information around than to use fields in the activity?
