Since Scrollview only supports one child, I've created a RelativeLayout to scroll several Views. Unfortunately, this doesn't work (no scrolling). Are there limitations to the kind of children used in Scrollview or am I doing anything wrong?

I want the view group to extend with the ScrollView if the content of the group is smaller than the display area of the ScrollView.
How can I have the ScrollView child extend to fill the parent if it's smaller than the parent?

I am working on some sort of record lookup for a database. My code allows to search for some kind of string within an index (of that database) and returns the database-position of the found thing . With this found position my program is then able to move to adjacent records from the database moving forward and backwards from the initial position in small steps. ListView seems to not work in this case, as ListView starts per default at ListAdapter position 0 and not at an arbitrary position in the (here virtual) list. The api-docs doesn't seem to specify some sort of "start somewhere else and follow during scrolling". At least I haven't found that. So what I thought of is to use a ScrollView. Unfortunately I don't have a real understanding of how that could be realized with a huge number of records (and not just a handfull like in the examples). So, my questions are: - Is it possible to start a ListView at some defined position (without reimplementing {Abs}ListView) - Or can someone provide an example on how to implement a more complex ScrollView.

I have a ListView which is embedded in a ScrollView. I populate the rest of the Views in the ScrollView, then populate the ListView. Unfortunately yhe ScrollView doesn't size itself to accomodate the items in the ListView. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get the View to resize itself to accomodate the contents of the ListView?

I have a layout that has just a ScrollView visible. It has a relative layout as its child. This layout has several other layouts (mainly text views) as its children. When the text is not big enough, the scroll view does not expand itself to fit the whole screen. Instead, it shows a gap at the bottom where the background shows. I tried setting fillViewPort=true on the ScrollView, but that just made the first child layout (RL1) to fill the screen.

I am trying to create an activity layout that has a top level vertical linear layout like so:
CODE:................
This works ok as long as the wordDefinition text isn't very long. But, when I set the text to something very long, it pushes the back button off the bottom of the screen. Why? Isn't the ScrollView supposed to scroll the text in the child TextView?
I've tried playing with weights (e.g., giving the top text view a weight of .2, the scroll view a weight of .7 and the button a weight of .1, but to no avail.
I have a problem with rendering a ScrollView. Essentially, the layout is fixed header and footer with a scrollview in the middle. The idea is that when the screen keyboard is activated for the content EditText the image can be scrolled if the height of the image is longer than the middle view.
In testing the layout, I've found that on my Android phone (Xperia X10 Android 1.6) there is a whole heap of padding added to the top and bottom of the ImageView.
How I can prevent this from happening.

Im pulling a list of product objects from a database call and I want to build a ListView of the data in my activity with a non-scrolling header and footer. Each row will consist of a product thumbnail, some data and a button arranged horizontally. I understand that using the ListView I can inflate each row using a separate layout. Most of the examples Ive seen using ListView just show a simple array of strings that fill the whole view of the activity, but most real-world examples will be more complex and I can't find any good examples that explain how all these pieces fit together. Does anyone have any pointers to sample code with a good explanation ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to Android app development, and I've been playing around with swipe gestures using Android's SimpleOnGestureListener and a ViewFlipper.There are 3 children of the ViewFlipper, and each is a ScrollView. They're all dynamically populated when the Activity loads, and they don't change after that. The ScrollView is where the SimpleOnGestureListeners are attached.When I swipe on a page that scrolls, I get something full of "in onClick" "in onScroll" "in onFling" etc.On a page that's too short to scroll, I get "in onClick" "in onShowPress" "in onLongPress", and that's only if I'm touching the content within the too-short scrollview's children--if I touch elsewhere I get no events at all.Ideas on what's wrong, or how to detect the swipe gesture no matter how big the ScrollView is?

Here is the code for my onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.. sView is the container for the ScrollView layout. Within my scrollview is a linearlayout with a lot of textviews.
CODE:............
If I set a Toast with the values of sViewX and sViewY on the Restore, the values are kept and correct.
I just tried to do a sView.scrollTo(0,150); in my onCreate.. just to see if that would open the activity at 150px down, and it didn't. I think my issue has to do with the .scrollTo method.
I have a WebView inside the ScrollView. The content of WebView dyanamically changes when it displays different html page. I have the following issue: For example I have A.html, and B.html. The content of B.html is larger than A.html, so the page is longer. When WebView load B.html, the ScrollView stretches its size to enable itself scroll for B.html, then if I go back to A.html, ScrollView doesn't resize itself. (The scroll area is exceed the content of A.html) What I want to have, is dynamic change the scroll area of scroll view to fit the webview's content.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want some of the goodies in a ListView, like being able to use a ListAdapter, and item selection, etc, but I don't want the ScrollView portion of it.

Is there a way to have a ListView that's not in a ScrollView or has the scrolling disabled?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.
I have a TabHost that requires indicators more complex than a simple string label (the tab itself, not the contents of the tab). There is no graphics involved, just font size and layout of text. The documentation suggests I may call the setIndicator method with a View instead of a CharSequence, but do not provide any pattern to follow. This almost works -- the tabs function but are not colored properly. I can probably use OnTabChangeListener to set their background color to white or black, but clearly this is wrong also -- the orange color transitions, etc. are lost. I just want the existing label behavior on text that's laid out. What pattern should I be following here?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have ListActivity to show a custom list. The adapter for this list is a complex layout only known for each row at runtime depending on data gathered in a previous activity. The question I have is simple. I know it takes 4-6 seconds to prepare the adapter for the rows that will be visible (first 10), however I would like to let the user know by means of the empty list functionality or otherwise. At present the ListActivity is launched via a button on a previous activity and when that button is clicked the new activity will not be loaded until the adapter is completed, and the user is stuck with the previous activity until this happens.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAll the examples I have found assume that Spinner is given an array of String. I have a Spinner whose Adapter contains an Object more complex than a String. I want the capacity to display some parts of this object. a) during drop down b) when the item is selected. Nothing fancy, just some straight text, but I need ot whole object. If I override Adapter#getView, the View that super#getView returns is a TextView, so I could set that to be some relevant text value, but it feels kind of undocumented. I did try inflating a layout containing 2 TextViews and populating them, but UI became a bit screwed up. I'm not really sure what's ok to change here and what's not. Likewise, the above presumably applies to the drop down view, but I am also not sure how to render the selected item.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to extend the "android.content.Intent" class by adding a private attribute of a custom class. My goal is to send complex objects from the main Activity to a background Service.
The extension itself is not a problem, the class gets compiled without any errors and the project runs. The only problem is that the BroadcastReceiver does not receive the modified Intent and the "onReceive" method gets never called.
It there any way to pass complex objects with the help of Intents?
I am currently working on a collision detection routine for an Android based game which is capable of handling complex concave curves in 2D. I use complex in this post to describe any non-trivial, arbitrary shape (beyond circles, squares, etc). My problem is that all of the various methods I have come across are either too simplistic to be realistic or too complex for a cell phone. At the moment I am favoring a tile-based scheme but I am having problems figuring out how to do this with convex curves that span several tiles and may have several line segments per tile. I gave some thought to representing the curves mathematically, with each tile being an interval of the function, but there will likely be points where the curve doubles-back on itself (think the big loop at the top of a pinball table that brings the ball all the way around the table and back the direction it came). My questions boil down to:
1. Does anyone know of a way of hit testing a given simple shape (e.g. a circle) against a concave series of line segments (shapes beyond circles can be figured out from there) beyond just a Boolean result?
2. What is the best way to represent large, complex shapes programatically? I am currently favoring an XML file describing my levels and the objects in them with shape/position/physics/etc. data to be parsed in during load time.
3. Is there an altogether better way of doing this beyond line segments?
The one saving grace in this conundrum is that I know the vast majority of the objects are stationary with, at most, three or four (usually one) dynamic objects moving around.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm new to opengl-es and I wonder how people are able to draw these much detailed OpenGL ES graphics, e.g. on Android OS. It's already hard to draw a single squre, because it's composed of triangles due to the reason that OpenGL ES obviously cannot draw anything else than triangles.
I thought about this approach:
Drawing and rendering an object in Blender.
Export it somehow as array of vertices and an array of colors
Copy this array of vertices into the Java code
Run the code
Or are there approaches to solve such problems in a better way? I do not think that people just "draw" their graphics as array of vertices in the code. I'm sure they draw them anywhere else and import it into the code.
If there is such a solution with Blender, I would be pleased to know how this is solved.
