Android :: Set Dynamic Transparent Background In My Droid App Java?
Jul 25, 2010
OK, So I want to set the background to a transparent image and change the color of the background on an event firing. I can set the background image to a resource in an xml file, and I can also change the color of a TextView on event firing, but for some reason I can't do both at the same time. Do I need to create a drawable or something? Also, how do I reference the top level LinearLayout. I'm programming using eclipse JEE Galileo with the ADT Plugin and the android sdk. O.S. android 2.1-update1 (eclair). My friend can do it in actionscript and I have to do it in java to beat him lol.

seems pretty straightforward.
CODE:..............
But doesn't work!
It scrunches the layout background as the background to each button, I want it to span all three buttons...

How can i make the background 50% transparent? Let's say the background of an AbsoluteLayout so it's dark but you can still see through it?

My use case is writing an overlay controller activity for a landscape camera preview. I followed the instructions from a couple of tutorials for writing a transparent theme.When I start this activity from my root activity, the layout gets drawn correctly, but the background stays black. I tried to use @android:style/Theme.Translucent instead, but this Theme inherits the orientation from the calling activity (landscape) and thats not what I want.The application holding the camera preview is set to landscape view as it does not display the preview correctly in portrait orientation. (see old google bug report)What I wanted to do was to put an independent activity for user interaction interface in front of the camera surface holder (this activity should be set to 'portrait', or even better to 'sensor')

I want to be able to specify an android:src, but I want android:background="" - complaints that string types are not allowed when compiling.
I basically want a button without any background (but that *does* have a 'src').

How can I set the Background for a button to a transparent Color, like transparent Blue for eg, instead of a solid blue? When I use button.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE) it sets it to a solid blue.

I have run into an requirement of my application that i cant find a way to do this.
I need my application to be fullscreen and no title bar (done), and this application will have a background image. However, all the activities/views of my application must be transparent/translucent so the application background will be visible all the time behind the information i am displaying.
Basically i would like to have this behavior
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/amazon-kindle-android-app.jpg
supousing that the image you see is not the phone wallpaper, but the application background image. What would be the application configuration in the manifest file and what would be the configuration for eacy activity/view?
I also noticed that, i need to setup each activity to be fullscreen without title bar. Is there a way to do this globaly in the application so all activities will behave this way?

I believe I have found a graphics bug introduced in the 1.5 platform. I'm looking for some confirmation (or a description of what I'm doing wrong) before reporting it as a real bug.
I have a SurfaceView that fills the screen and on top of that I have a LinearLayout that wraps some other components that overlay the surface. These other components are not visible most of the time, and the LinearLayout has a transparent background so that the SurfaceView is unobstructed until the other components are made visible. Under 1.0 and 1.1 this all worked with a background of #00000000 for the LinearLayout. Now under 1.5 there is a black rectangle obstructing my surface unless I give the LinearLayout background some color. I can still keep the transparency so it is still invisible as it should be but it is strange that it can't be black and invisible anymore. My layout is below. The background of #00000001 works, but changing it to #00000000 results in a black rectangle. code...

I'm using a ListView with a transparent background. It works fine in Android 1.5 & 1.6, but in Android 2.0 and later, the ListView background turns white while scrolling. I want it to stay transparent, just like in 1.5 & 1.6.
Does anyone know what's going on, or better yet, how I can get this working correctly?

Is there a Java library for colourings text in an EditText? Or is this just accomplished with Regex? I looked into Google Prettify but that seems to be for static text.

I have a bunch of png images that I imported to my phone from my PC. I dumped them straight in my DCIM folder.
On the PC, these images have transparent backgrounds, however, when I view them using androids gallery app, the background is black. Similarly, when using these images as stickers for my text messaging app (Naver Line), the backgrounds will also show as black.odate.

In Android, if I want to do some background work, what is the difference between
Creating a Service to do the work, and having the Activity start the Service VS. Creating a standard java class to do the work, and having the Activity create an object of the class and invoke methods, to do the work in separate thread.

I want to add a non-native shared library to Android so every application on the device would be able to use it. I mean using packaged classes just like a core library as if they were present in the application itself. I studied Android source code to figure out a way to add a new path to the application ClassLoader and found out that it is created during startup and there's no way to change the paths later. I can use my own ClassLoader, but all I will get after loading a class will be a reference to a Class object. This way I will be bound to work through reflection mechanism, which is slower than the native execution system Is there any way to organise a shared library on Android?

I'm stuck on a problem and if possible I will need help from the community. I'm not looking for a ready-made solution, but something which would help me to produce the result.
I'm looking for a way to produce a dynamic activity based on a JSONArray object.
Here an example of a JSONArray object:
[ { "name": "my checkbox name",
"type": "checkbox",
"value": "one,two,three"
}
{ "name": "my edit text",
"type": "text",
"value": ""}...]
This JSONArray could be totally random. It could have 2 text views, 3 select menus, 1 text view and so on.
The goal is to iterate over this JSONArray and create the appropriate elements within my android code.
To produce the result I've thought of a simple switch which would render one by one my different JSONArray to an android widget.
But after that how could I have access of every property of every widget rendered?
Edit: I need as well to assign an event listener on some widget as taking the GPS coordinated...

I am trying to develop an app and I want it to bring in data from a mySQL database. But from some reading I have done on different sites, I am realizing that it is probably not going to happen. But I am curious to know, how do apps like PhoneFlix and others view that dynamic data on the application? Does it somehow just bring it in through http? If so, how would I go about doing that? Does anyone know of any good sites that will point me in the right direction?
