Android :: Set A New View's Margins Programatically
Sep 4, 2010
I have a FrameView that's created in my XML layout, and in my code, I'm trying to create a series of new ImageViews and add them as children of this FrameView. The ImageViews are small, only about 15 pixels square, and I want them to show up in various positions around the FrameView (I'm trying to implement what looks like a radar screen). I'm able to create them and add them just fine, and they show up on the screen.
However, when I try to set their margins, it doesn't seem to have any effect. No matter what I set, all the ImageViews show up in the top left corner of the FrameView, as opposed to offset by the appropriate margins. My XML layout is listed below, along with the code that generates the child views. Am I doing something wrong? How can I get the margins to show up properly? Or is there a better way to do this than by using margins.

I have checked setId() method of the view, it accepts integer parameter. But there are possibilities of assigning same id to different views, which may create problem for me while i do findViewbyId().
My question is "How to set unique id to the view programatically?"

I am trying to find out how I can add an item (from xml drawable/workaround_item.xml) in a LinearLayout that is vertically aligned.
CODE:.........
At the beggining I was trying to use a ListView but as far I as know there is a bug using listview inside a scrollview. I was doing this because i have more components on the view that should be scrolled together with the list view. So I decided to remove the listview and implement a simple linear layout where i will be adding each element bellow other and so on.
The layout for the activity is as folow (layout/workaround.xml) and i would like to start adding the elements below the top bar.
CODE:........
Thats my java code:
CODE:......
Thats the result i am getting: http://twitpic.com/3562yu
Does android allow us to do this? If so, Hoe can I add the elements and set their values? (this layout will be dispalying results of soccer games).

I am trying to create a menu that slides up from the bottom.It starts with the menu's view just visible at the bottom of the screen, and then clicking it causes it to slide up.I tried using a TranslateAnimation, but although the pixels move, the hit areas of the menu are in the same position as before.So I think that if I can adjust the menu's margins after the animation is complete, this will accomplish what I want.However, I can't figure out how to adjust the margins.I've tried to create a LinearLayout.LayoutMargins object and then set its margins and apply it to the menu's view (which is a LinearLayout), but this doesn't work.

i have list views with image views and text views etc in them, and i'm trying to fix up a situation where the background image of a list element changes in the "pressed" state. if there's a straightforward way of doing that, please let me know! right now, i override onTouchEvent() in the topmost view, and also in those child views who don't just delegate to their parents which would be image views. i have to check for long clicks myself, but basically this scheme works. the list views are potentially different sizes depending on how much text is in the views etc, so i thought i would use a 9-patch as the background. however, when the background changes from flat white to the 9-patch, this seems to indent the view a bit - ie give it margins. eh? if i change the image to a non-9-patch, the margins remain as they are. i've tried different sizes of 9-patch, from 320x150 or so down to 100x30 etc, no change. what's going on?

I have been trying to use a ScrollView on a single ImageView with a JPG (~770 x 1024) over an AVD that's 600x800.
My main.xml is code...
It is important for me to avoid stretching the image. I can not use FIT_XY for ScaleType.
What is the recommended way to implement a display of a page that can be potentially scrolled?
Do I have to do it manually with a plain layout and scrolling upon GestureDetector.OnScroll events?

I am trying to set up a ViewFlipper that changes a SlidingDrawers content each time a button is pressed. So far every view I set up worked fine, but now I am trying to create a ListView (including single_choice_mode) within a child view of the ViewFlipper, but my attempt only let to a NullPointerException. As I only discovered ViewFlipper today, I am not yet familiar with it and may not have understood it completely. if someone could give me a hand and help me find out what I have done wrong, that would be great. Here is what I have done:
The code for the onClick event of the ImageButtons:
public void onClick(View v){
if (v == btnExposure){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(0); }
else if (v == btnProperties){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(1);}
else if (v == btnSpecialEffects){
mFlipper.setDisplayedChild(2);.............

I have an application I wrote for Android (lat's call it MyMainApp).
My contractor wants me to write another utility (service) to periodically check his website for newer versions of MyMainApp, and if there is one - download it and install.
I know this is handled by the Market app, but my contractor wants to do it in his own utility (he does not want the user to be bothered with the update process).
Of course - the user will be notified and agree to this feature. Can this be done?

It seems like every example I can find of switching between Activity's involves creating an Intent and passing in the context of a View via an OnClickListener associated with a button.But what if you just decide you need to switch Activity's? In my case, a Preference value is causing an Activity switch. How do you create an Intent that can cause an Activity switch without an associated OnClickListener?

I have a little problem with a ScrollView.I have a layout for an activity which is made with a ScrollView. This scrollview contains two ListViews.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView android:id="@+id/accountsListView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="none" />
<ListView android:id="@+id/cardsListView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="none" />
</LinearLayout>In onCreate method of my activity I compute ListViews height according there contents.During execution, on activity launch, ScrollView is already scrolled a bit.So I tried, at the end of onCreate to call method scrollTo(0, 0), but it does not change anything.

I want do set size (in px) of dialog based on screen resolution, so I have to set dialog size programatically during runtime.
Dialog layout is defined in xml with all standard views, so it would be nice to have better way to set dialog size than override-in top view's onMeasure(...).

Is it possible to remove an application programatically? If so, shall I look at the package manager for that or is there an example some place? When a package is installed, I believe there is a broadcast message to the system saying that. Is it possible to capture that broadcast message?

I'm writing a simple caesar-encryption-activity. Two EditTexts on screen, one clear-text, one crypted.
Here's an example for the crypted EditText - the cleartext one is similar.
CODE:...................
Now when entering cleartext I have an TextChangedListener running that programatically crypts and fills that crypto-EditText. So far, so good.
When the cleartext entered gets really long, the cleartext-EditText scrolls with my imput, but the crypto-EditText stays at the top of the text. I'd really like the crypto-EditText to scroll so that it always shows the bottom line of its content.
How can that be done, preferably from the onTextChanged()-Method of the TextWatcher?

I know you need root access if you want to capture a screenshot by using a background application. However is it possible to just grab the screen content of your current visible activity owned by your process? This does not seem like a security constraint since the user has already installed your app is currently using your app. If so how does this work?

I'm trying to create a TableLayout programatically. It just won't work. The same layout in an xml file works though. Tcode...
When I run this, I don't get a crash, but nothing appears. If I get rid of the TableRow instance, at least the button does appear as a direct child of the TableLayout. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to add permissions to my application manifest, so it can access other apps that the user installs at runtime. I thought the way to do this was to define a permission-tree in the manifest, and then use PackageManager.addPermission() to add permissions under that tree. However, I can't get this to work and the documentation I found wasn't conclusive. Could anybody show me how to do this by means of a simple example?

We are writing an app to substitute screen/pattern lock on G1. Unfortunately, it is impossible to substitute the original screen lock app with a 3rd party one. The only option left is if we can UNLOCK the phone from a service running in the background when G1 is locked. Is it possible? Is there interface to Pattern/Screen lock? What is KeyguardManager for?
