I am using "loadDataWithBaseUrl(...)" to load a html file, stored in assets, to Webview. that contains a string "Loading..." and a rotating GIF. String "Loading..." is hard coded, and it'll not be localized. How to replace that string dynamically, so that it can be localized?

Here are some HTML ASCII Codes:
http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
I have a string that may look like "All in a hard day 's work"
What is the best way to replace that ascii code, with an apostrophe?
It would work something like this
someUtility.replace ("Hello, my name is {1}. What is your {2}?", "Mark", "name");
I know I can put escaped HTML tags in string resources. However, looking at the source code for the Contacts application I can see that they have a way of not having to encode the HTML.Unfortunately, when I try something similar (like Hello, <b>World</b>!), getString() returns the string without the tags (I can see that in logcat). Why is that? How can I get the original string, with tags and everything? How is the Contacts application doing it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy ANDROID app presents a listview, from a database cursor and XML, that needs to replace the values in a column with various words based on the integer value contained in the cursor. For example, if the value is -1, replace it with the word "Invalid", but if the value is >= 0 then just display the value.
I was under the impression this could magically be done via XML.
I have an input stream which is being converted to XML, and read. When I get down to some text elements in the XML, they are truncated. I believe the parser is dropping everything after escaped HTML such as & Here is the code getting the input stream and then getting the text element. Code...

CODE:...............................
I have heavily edited the original text and instead of the how question I am posting the code that produces the effect I wanted, namely a floating menu on top that stays fixed as I scroll whatever is in the middle with a lower menu at the bottom of the screen. Ain't life sweet - Might even work on the iPhone as well.
Why I posted was like I said in the original question. I'm fiddling with creating the initial lay out for a "mobile" application for the disabled, have tonnes of data, dictionary files, icons for the purpose etc. I want to have the app running as HTML to make it as portable as possible, i.e. make it runnable on Android, Iphone, Maemo... whatever.
I got some hints by looking at the example at http://www.quackit.com/css/codes/css_floating_menu.cfm as well as a lot of trial and error and finally minor edits by a paid freelancer.
Below you can find some crude (to put it mildly) HTML/CSS (cut the CSS part and load a style instead in the HTML's you create for cleaner code) but for now, let's look at the prototype concept.

I;ve been trying to create a custom button in android using this tutorial - http://www.gersic.com/blog.php?id=56
It works well but it doesn't say how to change the font size or weighting. Any ideas?
There was another question on here and the only answer was to use html styling but you can't change a font size in html without using css (or the deprecated font tag). There must be a better way of setting the pixel size of the font used on buttons?
I have the localized strings file that is used in the Iphone app that I work on to port to Android. Are there any tools that go through the file taken from the xcode project and build the xml needed to use the strings in android? This tool should be easy to build but I appreciate any pointers to already working tools.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.

Let's say, there are four apps in the system: app1, app2, app3, app4.
Be default, when the system is up, all apps will be shown in the home screen. Now if we provide a customized log in screen, user A log in, then for this user, he can only see (and use ) app1 and app2. Then A log out, user B log in, he can only see app3 and app4.
Does API provide such capability to load the app list dynamically?
I use fishtext to send SMS (as it is REALLY cheap), but fishtext doesn't provide a Android native app.
I have just bought my N1 and it will arrive next week.
I came across WebSMS (websmsdroid - Project Hosting on Google Code) and it integrates to fishtext (According to some reviews I read).
I would like to replace the stock sms app with WebSMS, is that possible? I don't want to be using the stock SMS app by accident and end up paying loads for SMSs I send. (I send about 1K SMS monthly).
In my android application i would like to replace my first line of a txt file with some other data.
Is there any way that i can do this.
