I have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:id/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity. I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up an app to use a custom title so I can get the proper logo into the title instead of just text, and to make it clean (since the logo has a flat black background), I also want the whole title bar to be black. My xml for the title is a framelayout to hold the logo inside of a linearlayout to change the background color, and I'm setting the title in OnCreate() as follows:
CODE:.........................
With this setup, the old gray from the old title bar still exists around the edge of my custom title. Appears to be on the order of 3-4 px on the bottom and 8-10 px on each side. Any ideas about how to get the black background to cover the entire area?
In my app i want to set the logo in the title bar. but depending upon the size of the device how could it be set,so it may be dynamically possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three tabs in my Application. On an event under one Tab, i want to change the title of an another existing Tab. This is the title that we provide while adding the tabs to the TabHost.
Eg: TabHost.addTab(tabHost.newTabSpec("Tab2")).setIndicator("I need to be Changed dynamically").setContent....
In the above example, the title of the tab2 that i provided under setIndicator(), should be changed dynamically.
Is there any way to accomplish this.
I already know ho to hide the title bar with the getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the Activity onCreate() method before the setContentView() call.
But i want something different. I'd like to show/hide the title bar in any moment. To make an example, place a button in the view that toggle the title. Unfortunately the requestFeature can be done only before the call to setContentView().
In Android documentation describing "Configuring General Window Properties", it is suggested that specifying properties via XML is preferable whenever possible to avoid seeing the title bar flash. As an example, instead of setting Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE with requestWindowFeature, they set it to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar. Is there a similar way to set a custom title bar to be used in the XML?

How can I center the title for a custom dialog that I'm using?
I know how to center the text in the TextView and how to center the TextView inside its parent layout, but what I'm looking for is how to center a title (text centered but second line starting at the same point).
What I'm looking for is this:
| Centered |
| right! |
or this:
| Center |
Not this (text centered):
| Too |
| centered! |
or this (TextView centered):
|Centered |
|wrong! |
or this (with padding and left):
| |Also | |
| |wrong! | |
Did anyone understad this? Is it possible to do this without coding the String itself?

I am trying to develop a simple application where users need to answer certain questions. I want that the textview should be changed dynamically in the same activity with sliding to left or right animation.
Can someone let me know how to do this?
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!
Is it possible to disable title bar display dynamically after setting the content view by setting the NoTitlebar theme?
All the posts I have read told that any title bar changes we can make only before setContentView() call.
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.
Setting the background color programatically of an android TextView doesn't seem to work.
I'm I missing something!

I also have this file (colors.xml) in my res/values folder

Also, setting the text color causes the TextView to disappear.

I am using a custom title view in my application for each activity. In one of the activities, based on button clicks I need to change the custom title view. Now this works fine every time when I make a call to setFeatureInt.
But if I try to update any items in the custom title (say change the text of a button or a text view on the title), the update does not take place.
Debugging through the code shows that the text view and button instances are not null and I can also see the custom title bar. But the text on the text view or the button is not updated. Has anyone else faced this problem? How do I resolve it?
For example, I want to write an activity that launches when you return from sleep (black screen). How can I set this activity to run instead of the default one? In other words, I want to make a custom lock screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a listview with custom rows and that extends SimpleAdapter.
Each row consist of two linear layouts : 1st having two textviews of which one is hidden in horizontal orientation, second having two textviews in horizontal orientation.
Now depending on the value in hidden textview , I want to setcolor for the remaining items for the row.
To put it as simple:
each listview item has some custom colors the value of which comes from the hidden field.
I have done this by overriding getview() for the simpleadapter and returning view for each, but this makes list very slow to render (and that I think is obvious as so much of work for each view before showing it).
Can I do this in some more efficient way ? like making views and then add up to list instead of using xml layout maybe one solution OR any other?
