Android :: Right Way To Do Scrollable View Of Custom Buttons?
Jul 5, 2010
I've just started playing with Android in the last few days and have begun to put together a simple application. I am struggling to work out whether I'm doing things the "right" way or just making life difficult for myself.The app displays a series of connected nodes on the screen, similar to a mind-map. I want to be able to tap the nodes in order to edit them. When the map of nodes becomes larger than the screen, I need to be able to scroll on both X and Y axes as needed to see the whole map. Image of current implementation at http://ubergeek.org.uk/images/nodetest.png.Currently I don't have scrolling working, however I assume that I can do that by making the root view a ScrollView and sticking an AbsoluteLayout inside that (though it's deprecated, I wish to place objects at specific X/Y coordinates).The nodes themselves are currently each a pair of roundrects (one for the outline and one for the fill) and a drawText and are being drawn in the main activity's onDraw(). In order to make these clickable buttons I believe I need to create a custom view for the button in order to use its onClick() events. I can then create a view object for each of my nodes and add them to the AbsoluteLayout view.Does this sound like a reasonable way to do it in Android, or is this a horrible abuse of the API?

I want to implement an activity where the only thing you see is a big image, which can be scrolled horizontally and vertically.On Top of that image I want to display buttons, that can be clicked and trigger certain actions (like creating an intent to start a new activity). First I was thinking about a ScrollView, that has a FrameLayout as a child. The FrameLayout could have the image as a background and can have the buttons as childs. Because I know the position of my buttons exactly I could place them with absolute coordinates. Here is my first code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="1298px"
android:layout_height="945px"......................

I want to build my own custom view which should look like the Crysis-GUI.At first I designed a XML-based Layout and made it visible via the setContentView(int resid)-Method. Worked pretty well.But now I wan't to go a step further and draw in my Layout. So I created a new Class, let it extend View and overrode the onDraw()-Method. So far so good.But how can I still use my XML-Layout? I can't do setContentView anymore, so how could the same effect be achieved?

I have a custom view that works fine and I'm trying to get gestures into it. The most common technique I see is to add XML, such as this (from Android docs.Can someone point out my errors, suggest a better way that will allow me to get gesture callbacks and/or suggest diagnostic approaches?

I have an ExpandableListView that I want to populate with my custom views of type NoteView. NoteView extends LinearLayout and contains two buttons and a checkbox. I have almost everything working, the NoteView's are being populated with backing data, the lists are getting filled, and the buttons are clickable and perform the required tasks.
The problem is the ExpandableListView no longer responds to click/longclick/keypress events at all (other than selecting list items with trackball/DPAD).
I replaced my custom view with a standard TextView and the touch events flowed normally again, so it is almost certainly something I am doing wrong with my custom view or some obscure ListView setting I am overlooking.
Here is my NoteView code and XML Layout. What am I missing?

I am working in an android application that uses a list view. I currently have a XML for the row layout with only one text view. Based on certain conditions, some rows will have one additional button and some other rows may have 2 additional buttons. Can I override the getView method of the adapter class to do this logic? is there any performance issue?

I have a need to create a control similar to UITabBar in iPhone, which is to be present on every activity of my application. UITabBar essentially is a battery of buttons exhibiting a TAB like behavior: every button maps to an activity. I have two solutions for this: 1. In the layout XML for every activity, I insert a <LinearLayout><Button/><Button/><Button/></LinearLayout> element. And then have a common listener class that will handle the button clicks. So, every activity will have an instance of this listener. 2. To create a custom Widget extending LinearLayout class, put all the buttons as its static members and let it handle the button clicks. Include this custom control in every screen. I am not sure which approach to follow.

I am writing a program where I need a ListView for which I am using a ListActivity. Each one of the views within the ListView has four buttons, (Off, Dim, Bright and On). Each one of these buttons is configured with it's own OnClickListener when I build the view. This part seems to work ok. However when I have say 5 Views each which has these four buttons, I can tell whether an off, dim, bright or on button was pressed but I cannot tell from which view it was pressed. So for example if my views are devices (Light, Heater and Kettle) I press an "on" button and I know an On button was pressed but how do I get it to tell me the On button for the Light was pressed?

I've a ListView where every element in the list contains a TextView and two different Buttons.I found a solution as described in my answer below. Now I can click/tap the button via the touch screen. However, I can't manually select it with the trackball. It always selects the whole list item and from there goes directly to the next list item ignoring the buttons, even though I set .setFocusable(true) and setClickable (true) for the buttons in getView().This causes that no list item is selectable at all any more. But it didn't help in making the nested buttons selectable.

I am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).

I've created a custom view in an SQLite database for an Android application. I'm using Sqliteman on Ubuntu to test my SQL statements before I put them in my app. I'm trying to do a simple select statement on my view. The select statement works fine in SQLiteman but when I put the same statement in my code it throws an error. The statement: select * from item_view where parent_item_id = 0;........

I'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?

I'm trying to build an activity that has a checkbox on top, a button at the bottom, and a bunch of other widgets scrolling in between. Conceptually that'sWhen it renders I get the checkbox at the top, the stuff scrolling nicely underneath, but the Button drawn offscreen (I assume) below the ScrollView. The only way I can get the Button to be visible is to hard-code the height of the ScrollView, which of course only works on one screen-size. I've tried all combinations of gravity and layout_weight I can think of to no avail. Am I using the right combination of Views? Anybody managed to get this working?

Most of the tablets with android 3+ have this large black bar at the bottom. I'm not sure how it is called but I mean this bar where the clock, back and home button and the notification icons are on.
On the middle area of this bar there is always much space depending on the number of notifications on the right.
My idea was to use this space for shortcuts to apps or tasker tasks. Just like in windows the Quick Launch Toolbar on the task bar.
But until now I haven't found any solution.
Here is what I have:
I'm using tasker scenes to build my own shortcut buttons. Then I displayed these buttons as always on top and half transparent directly on the screen in the normal application display area. It seems that tasker is not able to display these buttons over the system bar. So this isn't a complete solution of my problem since the free display space on the bar is still not in use.
On the other hand I do know that it must be possible to program apps which are overlayed on the system bar since other apps can be placed over it.
Anyway... I'm searching for a clean solution to get shortcuts on the system bar to start apps or tasker tasks with one click or touch.

I'm writing my own custom view, a keyboard, which I think the ArrayList in the keyboard view is causing the application to quit in the emulator.
public static ArrayList<HexButton> hexButtons = new ArrayList<HexButton>();
The application ran fine when I did
setContentView(myKeyboardView);
But I want to nest my keyboard with a TextView so I'd like to be able to do
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Trying to support Swype on application for Android. The code isn't using Android's native EditTextView but our own custom View. What API can be used to retrieve the text once a swype has been completed and what callback method we should expect in our View?

When I comment out setContentView(boardView); in my Game.java my custom view in BoardView works fine and displays everything nicely... but onSizeChanged never gets called in BoardView.java... so I can't read the device width and height at runtime. If I leave setContentView uncommented onSizeChanged works... but the screen is blank! I want to be able to read the screen width and height at runtime and set the sizes of my ImageViews at creation so they are the optimal size.
public class Game extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
private BoardView boardView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

Currently, I am creating a custom View class (DrawView) that inherits the View class and adding to my activity programatically by using RelativeLayout and LaoutParams etc. But is there an easier way to do this by adding my DrawView to the layout XML file?
