Is it possible to populate the options of a Spinner right in the layout xml? This page suggests I should use an ArrayAdapter? It seems awkward not being able to do it..
I am trying (as many are doing) to populate a 2nd spinner out of the first spinner selected item like this:..............

On my device (Motorola Milestone) and in the emulator this looks like the standard gray spinner widget.
On of my colleagues uses a Motorola Backflip and on his device the Spinner is black. Now its very hard to read the font in the spinner.
What do I have to do to use my own view for the spinner? I don't mind to have the gray spinner on all devices, but it should always look the same on all devices.
I have an xml layout file which contains a few widgets including a Spinner
I want to display a list of strings in the spinner, the list is generated at runtime as a result of a function so it can not be in arrays.xml.
I tried doing:
CODE:...........
But this crashes my application.
I have a spinner 'aperture' set up with a list of numbers, and a spinner 'mode' with two options. When a button is pushed I need a calculation to run using various inputs, including the current selection from 'aperture' and a value derived from 'mode'. How do I call the value of a spinner so I can use it in a calculation?
Also, how do I use the spinner 'mode's selection to set this other value before implimenting it in the calculation? To be more specific, if the spinner is set to Small then the value I use in the calculation is 0.015, whereas if Large is selected I need to use 0.028
My other inputs are EditText views, so right now I am set up like this:
CODE:............
That is not the actual equation, it is just a test to make sure everything connects properly. How would I call the value of spinner 'aperture' and the Small/Large spinner 'mode'
I have a spinner widget in my activity which lets users pick a list name.
Normally, the function of the spinner is to switch between lists but for a couple of instances, I swap out the selection change listener to perform a different function with the same list of options. Once the selection has been made, the old listener is restored and life goes on.
This is a bad and buggy arrangement. Instead, I would like to have a function that just takes a selection listener and some other parameters and shows a popup list that's populated by the same cursor (or and identical cursor) as the spinner, without using the spinner itself.
Is there any way I can do this?
I am trying to populate a spinner depending on another spinner's selected item, my code is the following:
CODE:.................
what is intriguing me is that the first spinner onitemselection works perfectly ( I can see the values in LogCat) then when I change selection of the 2nd spinner I am gettging an error on this line: String selected= (String) s2.getSelectedItem(); So the compiler gets insisde then onItemSelected function of the 2nd spinner but throws an Handler exceltion on s2.getSelectedItem()
why? it works perfectly for the 1st spinner.
Is it possible to take a csv file stored in the res/raw resource directory and use it to populate a table in the sqlite3 database? My thought was that, if there was a way to do a bulk import for the entire file into the table then that would be cleaner and faster than iterating over each line in the file and executing individual insert statements...
but I'm having trouble applying those statements in my Android application. My first thought was to try something like the following...but no luck:
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME + "(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)");
db.execSQL(".mode csv");
db.execSQL(".import res/raw/MyFile.csv " + TABLE_NAME);...............
I am trying to populate a ViewStub with a new view depending on which ImageButton is clicked, but as I just discovered ViewStubs I am not exactly sure how this would work...
e.g. can I provide the ViewStub with different inflatedIds and within the onClick event of a Button inflate the ViewStub by calling a specific inflatedId?

How can I populate a menu using intents? I didn't understand that thing.
Or is there any better way for that?
Update:
Suppose I have an application that need to resize the image,and there are many other applications that have a capability of resizing the image. How can I show the list of applications on a menu in my application so that when clicking on a particular option it will invoke the intent associated with that application. Simply saying I could resize the image in my application with out bothering about how that will get done.

The new documentation says to use ContactsContract but i can't find any proper tutorial. Can anyone give me a sample code or point me to an appropriate tutorial.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically I am trying to recreate the default contact screen when you click on "+" button another row of Phone number added to the list. Right now I have an ImageView as the "+" button and a ListView to contain the list of phone numbers. The problem is that the ListView doesn't expand when I add more item into the list. I could build the same look with LinearLayout but how can I save all those numbers that way? Below is the layout of the item that will be inflate with custom Adapter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TableLayout

android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="60px"
android:stretchColumns="1" android:background="#FFFFFFFF"

<Button android:id="@+id/type" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:text="Home" /> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="10dp"

This is the ListView portion.

I just ran into a problem, while trying to populate a ViewStub by tapping an ImageButton within a SlidingDrawer (the ViewStub should also be part of the drawer), but all I get is a Force Close Error due to a Null Pointer Exception. As I am using ViewStubs for the first time I am not sure, what may have caused the exception.
This is the code I use to inflate the ViewStub:

I have tried out displaying the same from SD Card, but when i am doing the same for downloaded files, it doesn't seems to work.
public View getView(int position,View convertView,ViewGroup parent)

ImageView i = new ImageView(mContext.getApplicationContext());
if (convertView == null)
{
//imagecursor.moveToPosition(position);

i.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
i.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);

I am extending BaseAdapter and trying to populate the List Screen on my Activity Screen. NotifyDataSetChanged is not working as expected. Please find the below snippet of code.

searchText = new EditText(this); handler = new Handler() {
@Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
msgQueueAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
context.msgQueueAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
msgQueueAdapter.notifyDataSetInvalidated(); } };
I have a Fascinate that automatically populated my Gallery with the zillions of photo albums I've uploaded to Picasa. My boyfriend has a Droid X and I put my Picasa email/password in his Accounts thinking it'd just effortlessly autopopulate his gallery with my pictures too, but it didn't. I looked around on the internet and saw that you could download the older Gallery (the one that's like the one on my Fascinate), so I did, but again, there's no setting that I see to show my Picasa albums on there, there's no auto-populating, nothing.
Any ideas how I can make this happen without having to go into a separate application or on the web to see these? I looked it up on another site and it said settings can be found at "settings > accounts & sync" but the Droid only has Accounts listed, no Sync.
For those of you who have now gotten your phones and upgraded from another android phone - did you sign in to the market/configure the phone with same Gmail account? And what I really want to know - did your previously installed apps (both free and paid) automatically download?
