Android :: Setup Background Of A TextView Dynamically From Xml File?
Oct 10, 2010
I have an XMl file like below which I will use to set background for Textview:
row.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
The above Xml I will set as background for TextView in main.xml as below:
main.xml
<TextView
android:id="@+id/rowtext3"
android:text="Availablity"
android:layout_height="25px"
android:layout_width="60px"
android:textSize="10px"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/row"/>
But I want this to do from code rather than Xml.I have done everything that I have done in Xml like font,width,Height,font dynamically through code , but not able to set Background that I mentioned in Xml file . How can we set content of Xml file as background to textview similar to how we set background as XML in main.xml.
In the code I have done like this:
t1=new TextView(this);
t1.setText(ed1.getText());
t1.setHeight(25);
t1.setWidth(60);
t1.setTextSize(10);
But I didn't find how to set background i.e. how to set XML content as background?

I have a textview in my XML layout file, but when I try to change its text value with code pragmatically (dynamically, depending on which button the user clicks) then the text of the textview doesn't change.
This is the code that I tried:
TextView userText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.User);
userText.setText(bundle.getString("user"));
In debug mode, I can see that usertext has the changed text, but the change doesn't appear on my mobile window... I don't know why.
EDIT: SOLVED! it was a problem with my relative layout, text is out of the window!

I'm trying to create a game lobby for a project, and I'd like the game's status text to be a different color: red for an "[IN PROGRESS]" game and green for a game that's "[Waiting for x players]". The ListView will be populated with data, and each ListView item will have a game ID and then immediately to the right of that the game's status.
Right now I'm essentially using the Hello ListView code to create my ListView.
(In constructor)
CODE:...........
Then, I have a refresh button that obtains data from our database. It will get two Strings, one for the ID of the game, and the other for the status of the game. If the game status is 0, then it's still waiting for players. If the game status is 1, then the game has started. So, I create a gameItem to add to the gameList:
CODE:.............
This is where I'm stuck. I don't really understand how I can alter the specific TextView when I create the gameItem or when I add that to the gameList. There isn't a way I can see of accessing the TextView's properties. I see how the text of the view is set (through the mapping of the strings to "line1" and "line2", but I don't know how to change any of the properties.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.

I am working a widget... I'd like to change my widget background image dynamically, is it possible? I tried theme & style, it doesn't want to work. It doesn't show any background image (see code sample below). I tried RemoteViews.setImageViewResource on an ImageView filling the widget, but i doesn't strech my 9patch image correctly (and it doesn't seems to change background, it add another image). Is there a solution? Additionnal question : is it possible to use an external (sdcard) 9patch image as background? if yes: how?

Is there any possibility to set background image dynamically? I try to explain what I mean.
String picVariable = getPictureFromServer();
ImageView image = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.dynamic_image);
// I know, that doesn't work, but that's the way I looking for
image.setBackgroundResource(picVariable);
I also read this article. It would suggested in one answer, to use java reflection to get a field of the R class by name. But I've never used reflextion before.

I am loading a listview dynamically. I have set a .9.png image as row background image. The main purpose of using .9.png image was to extend the height of the image dynamically according to the contents of the listview. But, the image is not getting extended. The contents which can be displayed within the height of the row are being displayed and the rest are being cut.

I have a ListView with a lot of "rows". In each row, i have one TextView with a background image. When i scroll, the images of the rows mixes... they jump to another row with the scroll.
In have tried android: scrollingCache="false" and android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" but nothing.
The images are loaded dinamically.

I'm attempting to change the background color of an Android TextView widget when the user touches it. I've created a selector for that purpose, which is stored in res/color/selector.xml and roughly looks like that:
CODE:................
The clickable attribute of the TextView is "true", in case that's of interest.
When I assign this selector to a TextView as android:background="@color/selector",
I'm getting the following exception at runtime: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(13130): Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #6: <item> tag requires a 'drawable' attribute or child tag defining a drawable
When I change the attribute to drawable, it works, but the result is looking completely wrong because the IDs appear to be interpreted as image references instead of color references (as the "drawable" suggests).
What confuses me is that I can set a color reference, e.g. "@color/black", as the background attribute directly. This is working as expected. Using selectors doesn't work.
I can also use the selector as the textColor without problems.
What's the correct way to apply a background-color-selector to a TextView in Android?

I have a situation where I am using a TextView with an image and would like to set a background on just the text part. When I use android:background it sets the background behind both the text and the image. Is there a way to have it just put the background behind the text without me having to tear apart my layout and use a separate ImageView with the TextView?

Actually, what I want is a textview which can show the progress of something, I know progressbar in android,however,so far as I know, it can not contain any text(am I right?), so, I want to change the background color of the textview to show progress,from left to right gradually.
Is there any other way to do this?

I'm battling with extending a TextView for my Android app. I'd like to create "bubbles" to display text messages in a conversation, similar to the native iPhone SMS conversations.
Is there a way to implement the resizing of a background image without just stretching it? I'd like to have a single background image that keeps it's corners but get stretched only in defined areas. I think this should be possible because I've seen it in a SMS app, but I wonder how to implement that.
