Is it a good practice to define the alphabetic shortcuts (alphabeticShortcut) of the menu items?
I ask because I've never used them in any of the Android devices that I have owned, even those that have a physical keyboard. Is there any reason to define them? Maybe an accessibility use-case than I'm not seeing?

So I got Eris yesterday and I have not put the thing down. Been scanning QR codes and messing around with it. Now the all programs menu, is there anyway to remove shortcuts from that menu?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a button that says "Sort" and when a user normal/short presses the button, I want a menu to appear with the various sort options. Looking around online there doesn't seem to be a straight forward answer to which route is considered best practice. I'm looking to have a menu that looks similar to this: For an example, click the Layers button in the Google Maps app. It opens a list of options on a single short click. It has a title at the top and icons for each option. (The icons aren't super crucial) Should I use a Context Menu? If so, how do I do it without a long press. Should it be a Spinner? If so how do I change the appearance to use a button instead of the normal drop down box.

I'm writing program for Android (SDK 1.5). I would like to know how to add/register one of my program activities in "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add-> Shortcuts" (or on Hero "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add to Home-> Shortcut") so that user will be able to add it to his home screen. Is there an Intent Filter or any other way to achieve that?

I have some problems finding the documentation of the definitions of shapes in XML for Android. I would like to define a simple circle filled with a solid color in an XML File to include it into my layout files.
Sadly the Documentation on android.com does not cover the XML attributes of the Shape classes. I think I should use an ArcShape to draw a circle but there is no explanation on how to set the size, the color, or the angle needed to make a circle out of an Arc.
I'm porting android to an overo gumstix. thus it seems the the omapfb driver has some problems on that platform. it doesn't matter at all, because i want to use udlfb (a driver for usb displays) anyway.
till today, i wasn't able to figure out how i can define udlfb as default framebuffer.
tried make menuconfig and select udlfb there, but no changes when booting the fresh compiled kernel. omapfb still wants to come up.
so my final question: how do i define
the default framebuffer driver for an
android kernel?
Is the scrollview with the alphabetic list on the right and annotated scrolling a standard component? or is there any support for implementing it? sorry i've not had chance to take a look in the 2.0 API.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI spent some time today doing controlled tests with the camera on the Droid and these tests confirmed my thoughts about the Droid camera: It will take decent pictures, but not in autofocus mode. I've posted a link to the pictures in Picasa **here**.The EXIF data shows the following: f.2.8 is the only aperture used. High shutter speeds in hazy sunlight will enable you to steady the camera. Most of the shutter speeds topped out ~ 1/1400 of a second. The other variable is ISO and in bright sunlight it's set very low, usually around ISO 50. This is a good thing since it allows you to have a high shutter speed since these tiny cameras are inherently hard to steady. I cannot account for the fixed aperture of f.2.8. In a larger camera such a wide setting would normally assure a rather soft picture. Here it seems to work.
The sample pictures I posted were duplicated many times in my tests and the results were consistent. As you look at the samples you will first see a wide picture.I then opened the picture in Photoshop and took it to 100% (all pixels displayed) then I cropped an area of interest. The results show the fixed focus working fine (with not as much shutter lag since it's not hunting for focus) and the autofocus mode completely broken. I think this shows a definite software issue. The hardware seems fine, although the shadow areas are quite noisy, the result of a tiny sensor and its overflowing photosites.So go ahead and take pictures outdoors and you'll probably get decent pictures set at infinity, even when you are taking pictures of friends in groups. I'll make a guess that this software bug is a result of a code screwup at the very last minute. If we can be patient I suspect the fix will be a simple one.
In my Android client I want to receive JSON objects from a server. By googling I found a lot of different possibilities how to best parse the InputStream from the Server, but most of them wrote their own parser. Isn't there a library which does this parsing for me? Or how should I best implement it by myself?
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday I synced all my contacts from my gmail account to my Android phone which worked without problems. After the import was done, I looked through my contacts on my phone and noticed that the contacts are listed alphabetically, under an index letter:
Just an example:
Jane Doe
James Brown
Julie Smith
All those are listed under the index letter "J", which is fine, but then the first contact under each index letter is listed under the previous index letter. In the example above, Jane Doe (which is the first contact that falls under the index letter "J" was NOT listed under "J", but it was under "I", which is the letter that comes before "J" in the alphabet.
And this seems to be the case in the whole phone book.
I tried several things, such as deleting the entire phone book, re-syncing the contacts from gmail and so on, but it keeps on happening again.
it the way Android saves/lists the contacts in its phone book?
I will have a list view on the top and a button on the bottom in the view. Regardless the height of the list view i would like to fix the button position on the bottom all the time. If the list view is too long then make it scrollable.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWith Android, you can define different resources for different phone attribute by naming res directories appropriately. I need to be able to support different layouts for 480x800 and 480x854. I figured I could have one set of resources stored in the layout-hdpi-v4 directory and another in layout-long-hdpi-v4. However, both resolution seem to think that they are long (at least based on the emulator, which I understand may not reflect devices accurately). Is there another way in which I can distinguish between the two resolutions/aspect ratios?

Would this approach have any impact when it comes time to do frustum culling?
