How do we set the input type for an EditText programatically? I'm trying:
mEdit.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
it doesn't seem to have any effect.

I'd like to allow possible inputs of 0-9, "," or "-" for EditText and couldn't find an answer.
I know using the "|" as an separator is possible: android:inputType="number|text"
But how can I archive something like this (too bad it doesn't work): android:inputType="number|,|-"

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'm having problems removing constants from TextViews' InputType. Scenario: EditText field with password and a CheckBox which toggles Show/Dont Show Password.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView in which each item has a complex layout that contains, at some point, a TextView with android:inputType="text" and android:ellipsize="marquee". My problem is that inputType="text" does something that renders the whole listview item un-clickable.
I've tried:
CODE:........................
Nothing worked.
The reason why I use android:inputType="text" on a TextView is so that it becomes single-line and android:ellipsize="marquee" actually works. I've done my homework: android:singleLine is deprecated
android:lines="1", as suggested here, doesn't work, the text still wraps, you just don't get to see the second line, so the marquee effect does not appear.
or is it? My Ctrl+Space in Eclipse says this about android:singleLine (emphasis mine):
Constrains the text to a single horizontally scrolling line instead of letting it wrap onto multiple lines, and advances focus instead of inserting a newline when you press the enter key. * Deprecated: This attribute is deprecated and is replaced by the textMultiLine flag in the inputType attribute. Use caution when altering existing layouts, as the default value of singeLine is false (multi-line mode), but if you specify any value for inputType, the default is single-line mode. (If both singleLine and inputType attributes are found, the inputType flags will override the value of singleLine.). [boolean]
However, the docs do not say anything about any deprecation.
I an new to android development. I am trying to make a simple expression solver . (ie evaluate mathematical expressions such as "23+3*(24+5/7)". For that i need an editText field which takes numbers (0 to 9) symbols + , - , * , ^ , / , % , . and parenthesis symbols such as ')' and '(' . I think for this i have to create new InputType and a custom keyboard. how to go about (ie how to create new InputType and custom keyboard ).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):

I am using an EditText. Is it possible to have a part of text uneditable and the rest editable in the same EditText?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?
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 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(...).
Are the following actions possible using the latest version of the Android API?:
Temporarily disable sending text messages
Temporarily disable receiving text messages
*Ideally, I would intercept them and queue them up for later delivery.
Temporarily disable incoming calls except from certain phone numbers
Temporarily disable outgoing calls except to certain phone numbers
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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 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 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?
