SetContentView Of Activity Within Activities Current View?
Feb 17, 2012So I have my main activity. It starts out adding a custom SurfaceView called DrawView as the content view with
DrawView drawview = new DrawView(parameters);
this.setContentView(drawview);
now my layout.main.xml is a layout with a video view which I am using to play my cutscenes. I am able to switch to this view by calling a method I made which switches the content view by
this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
which works fine when I am calling this method within the Activity. Only problem is I need to call this method from within DrawView! The method I made to switch to my cutscene is public and I do pass the Activity (named Draw) as a parameter of DrawView.
So when I do call this method from within DrawView my game freezes and will subsequently crash! however it works when method is called locally?

Android :: Adding Data To Intent Fails To Load Activity
Apr 11, 2010I have a widget that supposed to call an Activity of the main app when the user clicks on widget body. My setup works for a single widget instance but for a second instance of the same widget the PendingIntent gets reused and as result the vital information that I'm sending as extra gets overwritten for the 1st instance. So I figured that I should pass widget ID as Intent data however as soon as I add Intent#setData I would see in the log that 2 separate Intents are appropriately fired but the Activity fails to pick it up so basically Activity will not come up and nothing happens (no error or warning ether)
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: AsyncTask To Run On Activity Start Fails After Previously Getting Cancelled
Sep 10, 2010I am using an AsyncTask to fetch the ring tone for a contact when my application starts, it works fine until after my Activity closes a couple of times during the AsyncTask, after this happens the AsyncTask will only ever get to onPreExecute() and never doInBackground, so I can never fetch the ringtone then until either a force stop or device restart.
Why this might be happening? Why the AsyncTask would get to onPreExecute but then never run doInBackground()?
Here is my code: (Following the Shelves source code)
CODE:.....................
And onAddRingtone() is used in onCreate and onCancelRingTone() is used in onDestroy() as well as where you can see if in the code above. I have spent 3 days on this and I haven't been able to find a solution? Am I taking the wrong approach? Using cancel wrong? Is there a bug?

Android :: Can't Get Layout Info / When Creating Activity
Jul 22, 2010I have this element in my layout XML:
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/FrameLayout01"
android:layout_width="320sp" android:layout_height="380sp"
android:layout_gravity="center" android:background="#99CC33">
</FrameLayout>
And I want to get its position on the screen with getTop(), getBottom() but I want to do it only once.
I was trying to do it on the onCreate(), but those methods return all 0 as response.
Android :: Creating A Stub Of An Activity In Testing Project
Jul 22, 2010I want to create a stub of one of my Activities, but I want to keep it in the test project so not to have it in the actual apk. I don't seem to be able to find a way to do it though. I get this:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve activity for: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.example.test.StubActivity }
I did find if I put it in the main project and put it in the manifest accordingly (IntentFilter:(Action:Main, Category:Default)) it will work, well it actually crashed, but I am not bothered by that. Something to fix later on.I did think about putting everything in the same main project and just have a test package, but that would then involve messing the manifest, I think. It seems better to keep them separate. It's just cleaner.
Android :: Extracting Activity Code And Creating Graph View Class
Mar 1, 2010I had a bunch of code in an activity that displays a running graph of some external data. As the activity code was getting kind of cluttered, I decided to extract this code and create a GraphView class:
public class GraphView extends LinearLayout {
public GraphView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)
context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.graph_view, this, true);
}
public void start() {
// Perform initialization (bindings, timers, etc) here
}
public void stop() {
// Unbind, destroy timers, } }
Moving stuff into this new LinearLayout-derived class was simple. But there was some lifecycle management code associated with creating and destroying timers and event listeners used by this graph (I didn't want this thing polling in the background if the activity was paused, for example). Coming from a MS Windows background, I kind of expected to find overridable onCreate() and onDestroy() methods or something similar, but I haven't found anything of the sort in LinearLayout (or any of its inherited members). Having to leave all of this initialization code in the Activity, and then having to pass it into the view seemed like it defeated the original purpose of encapsulating all of this code into a reusable view. I ended up adding two additional public methods to my view: start() and stop(). I make these calls from the activity's onResume() and onPause() methods respectively. This seems to work, but it feels like I'm using duct tape here. Does anyone know how this is typically done?
Android :: Independent Thread That Executes While Creating Layout And Defining Activity?
Jun 3, 2010The android docs say that it adds the runnable to the queue and it runs in the UI thread. What does this mean? So, for example, the same thread I use to create my layout is used to run the Runnable? What if I want it as an independent thread that executes while I am creating my layout and defining my activity?

May 3, 2010After implementing some Android Apps, including several Map activities, I try to refresh the activity when the GPS listener's onLocationChanged() mehtod is called. I have no idea how to tell the map activity to refresh on its own and display the new coords. the coords to store will have to be in global values, so that the location listener will have access to it. In my sample GPS-class (see code below) I just changed the text of a text view....but how to do that in map view?

Android :: SetContentView : Unable To Set TextView From Xml File / Fix It?
Sep 26, 2009I see a strange problem when I try to set a TextView, instead of a layout file via setContentView.
Case 1: i.e. if I do the following, it works fine...
TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("Hello World"); setContentView(tv);
Everything is OK.
Case 2: But suppose I have a main.xml file with a TextView in it and I try the following:
=========== View tv = findViewById(R.id.textview); setContentView(tv); =========== I get a Force Close with the below error
09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f050001 type #0x12 is not valid 09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java: 1801) 09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:685) 09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:318) 09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:276) 09-27 00:08:26.620: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1595): at com.android.myhelloworld.SimpleActivity.onCreate(SimpleActivity.java: 22)
Case 3: I even tried to inflate the xml and set the view but even that resulted in a force close.

Android :: SDK Fails To Install ?
Jan 6, 2010When I try to install the android SDK it fails to install.
My OS is Windows XP. I just downloaded and installed Java JDK 1.6 Java -version from the command line returns: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
My environment vars have: JAVA_HOME=c:progra~1javajdk1.6.0_11. I downloaded android-sdk-r04-windows.zip. I unziped it in V:AndroidInstall
When I go to the V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windows> and type "SDK Install.exe" nothing happens...If I go this from graph
When I do this from a graphical file viewer I get a quick flash that looks like a command line window and nothing....
When I try to run android list targets from the tool directory I get:
Error: Error parsing the sdk.
Error: V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windowsplatforms is missing.
Error: Unable to parse SDK content.
So the basic install setup is not happening.
Additional clues:
I have a G1 and Android 1.0 was running on this machine. (Almost a year ago) I've updated my G1 to 1.6 so I thought I'd update my SDK before starting new development.
When I tried to upgrade it tried and then died as the "directory was in use"
So I cleaned out all the android directories, rebooted and redownloaded everythign from scratch.
Now it won't run at all.
I've clearly got something in an unhappy state, but I've cleaned up all the directories and no remanants seem to be running I've rebooted....
Android :: SAXParser Fails On Some RSS Feeds
Feb 28, 2009I'm using the SAX parser to read some RSS feeds and have found a problem. Some feeds, for example CNN Money Top Stories, have embedded some characters in their content, i.e. the copyright symbol. Well, that's not valid XML and the SAX Parser fails with an exception "invalid token". The only help I have seen given is to fix the XML at the source and that's not an option obviously. So, I can think of 2 options and they both stink:
(a) read the content first, scrub it, and then pass it to the parser.
(b) Use DOM instead of SAX.
What I *want* to do is make the parser a little more forgiving and just accept or discard/ignore the bad text. I'm not have any luck with setErrorHandler. My error handler does not get called.

After the upgrade, when I call the getFromLocation method, it doesn't return any addresses and I see a message in the logcat to the effect that GLS failed with status 20. My Google Maps API key is working fine because I'm seeing the map tiles, but GeoCoding is broken. It works fine if I run a previous (SDK 7) build of my app.

Android :: APK Installation Fails / Package Conflict
Mar 24, 2009I'm testing an app I'm developing and asked a friend to install on their device. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to help me out so I put the .apk up on my website for them to download to the phone (rather than making them download the SDK and use adb to install). The install of the downloaded .apk fails, complaining of a package conflict.
I have since gotten my hands on the phone briefly and I verified that:
* they have selected "allow unsigned apps" in settings
* there is no package with the same (or similar) name in data/data * installing via adb works with not a peep
* when I download the .apk to my phone the app installs fine.
It would be really nice to make it as easy as possible to distribute to people who might be willing to do me the favor of testing.
