Duplicate: static options menu
I know how to create a menu in my application with an icon and text on each "button" of the menu, but this menu is only visible on the activity where I created it...
I would like to know if it is possible to create a global menu which would be accessible from all activities?

Let's say I want all the TextView instances in my app to have textColor="#ffffff". Is there a way to set that in one place instead of setting it for each TextView?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm sharing some variables accross activities by using a class like this :
CODE:..........
Then I'm using these variables anywhere across my multiple activites with ...if (Globals.hint2_stockview_valuation == false) {....}
Pretty basic and it was working fine untill ...
I introduced some webview stuff like this:
CODE:...........
And here's the News_Webview.class:
CODE:............
The problem now is that, when it "comes back" from this Activity, it looks like my Globals variables have disappeared ?
if (Globals.hint2_stockview_valuation == false) {
fires an error :
06-23 12:14:03.443:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2611): Caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException
2 Questions then:
Should I use something else than this "Global" class to share variables across activities ? Is it just bad practice to do this ?? I know that I can use the preferences but I thought it was quicker to do it this way (no need to "read" the preferences everytime I start a new activity ...Should I "get back" my savedInstanceState in some way when my activity returns from the News_Webview.class ?
I have 10-15 activities in my project. I want to have the option menu mostly in all Activities. Then is their any way we can do it at one place and it appears in all activities.
Also, I will like to hide the option menu in some. So, is it possible or I have to write option menu code in all activities.
When you long press on something in Android, a context menu comes up.I want to add something to this context menu for all TextViews in the system.For example, the system does this with Copy and Paste. I would want to add my own, and have it appear in every application.

I have two activities that both contain an identical context menu built programmatically using menu.add(int, int, int, CharSequence). They both use onCreateContextMenu and onContextItemSelected.
The first Activity contains a ListView, when the user long presses on an item the context menu appears for that item. The second Activity (a detail screen for each item in Activity 1) contains a button, when the user presses the button the context menu appears.
I'd like to share the code that creates the context menu between these activities. The only thing these activities share is the context menu, so it seems like a bit of overkill to create a superclass (e.g., ActivityOne extends ContextMenuActivity) that defines onCreateContextMenu and onContextItemSelected methods.
Is there a better way of sharing these methods between activities?
Can Activity "A" open the options menu of a view in Activity "B"? In this case I am building Activity A but Activity B can be any other running activity. I think this is an impossible security violation but I really want someone to prove me wrong.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I open contacts app, i see four options at the top : contacts, groups, history and activities. I have successfully linked my facebook contacts and calendar through SNS setting option (automatically syncs every 1 hour). When i click on the activities menu at the top, I could see all facebook updates in there. Works like a charm. Just one question. Select a particular contact (who also has a facebook account) from the contacts list. You will see four options again: Info, History, Acitivities and Media. When i click on Info i see all the contact information like phone number, email address, Linked contacts, and facebook link under web address. When i click on History, I see all the calls made and received to and from this contact. When i click Acitivities, I just see Link Contact Option and don't see anything else eventhough i have linked my facebook through SNS setting. Also, the media is empty and how do i add one?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on Android NDK, porting my libs, and I'm using SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) that is a great tool to generate JNI code around my C/C++ headers for Java.
However, there is a big issue using it on Android, 'cause of incomplete JNI support : 'Weak Global References' are missing. Unfortunatly, SWIG is waiting for a full compatible Oracle/Sun JVM, and use this feature with its 'director' option (for proxy class creation).
For now, I comment each time, in a (kind of) bad way, the use of weak global references in my generated C/C++ wrapper files (4 lines in my case). I think it is really a shame that we can't use (one of) the best wrapper with Android NDK just for one missing feature.
I read that Google Team will add it in future release : "NewWeakGlobalRef and DeleteWeakGlobalRef are not implemented. The VM supports weak references, but not JNI "weak global" references. These will be supported in a future release." (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/ dalvik.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/jni-tips.html;hb=HEAD)
So my question is, does anybody know when 'Weak Global References' will appear in Android NDK ?

For example a user types in text into an edittext (does not matter which application) I would like to access said text to check for certain words. Is this even possible with Android's security model (yes I am aware this kind of feature could be used for various wrong things too).

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are using SharedPreferences(Not default preferences.) to store our application related settings. These settings are not accessible in the background service as the application context is different from service context. It always returns the default values. We want to have our own UI to manage settings. So, we don't want to use PreferenceActivity.
Is there a way or hack to access SharedPreferences from inside a service which are created by application?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI think this is a great idea for thread discussion, alot of people are worrying about the isolated/limited connection to Sprint's 4G, I think its a little overblown, the Evo will still be an awesome phone. What are some things on the Evo only accessible by 4G and not 3G?
For example, I've noticed the general knowledge of consumers didnt know youre still able to use Qik by both front and rear cameras via 3G, granted I dont know if the quality is better if used by 4G, however its still useable, if youve been watching the sticky thread above about general information on the Evo, there has been some Qik links where a Sprint or other marketing employee has been recording videos via the front facing 1.3 camera, in Kansas City, where they dont have 4G yet. Not only that but Qik is also available in the Android Market for other phones. --->Android Market
Qik, and Video Sharing? hell yes. Video Chatting through 3G? Possibly not.
I've also noticed in some Evo videos a Sprint employee states that the option to watch HQ Youtube videos only occurs in 4G, but I'm still curious as to what the quality is on 3G. I've also read that you can watch Hulu via the Skyfire browser, which to me is HUGE plus, unfortunately, Skyfire isnt available on Android just yet.
When in the messaging app, and in text message conversations I am having many issues. 1st issue: conversations or "threads" as it is put are seperated, which I like this option, but it also makes it an issue. I am unable to forward any messages I receive.
attachments in messages are not accessable, or able to be saved. I can not save photos, video, music, files ect. I can not set any attachments as ringtones, screen savers, backgrounds. And I can not forward any of the information that is included in a text. I have become very frustrated with the Droid, I thought this was a great phone but seems for the pricetag and hype, I am unable to do less with it as simple functions that I had on my previous phone the LG Chocolate. I can not save anything I receive, and I also can not send any of my music files or recordings as an attachment.
I may not have this whole Droid thing figured out, but I dont want it to take me a month to figure it out. And it seems like I am going past my "Worry Free" period of time. I was unable to save many of my items from old phone to Droid, and that was a bother. But the text messaging is my biggest complaint, I liked the ability to save sounds, forwards sounds photos ect. And I can not do this now with the Droid, is there a way to fix this issue?
I'm developing an Android and web application that will function as a service (use the same data). My question is how should the data be stored to allow for both the web and the android application to have access to the same set of data? Should the android application connect to the sites MySQL server to store/access data? If so how do I allow someone to access the data when they are not in a service area?
