I'm trying to create an Android app based on camera. I ant to split my screen into 2 or 4 views. (when 2 views are show, one will be above and one will be below. And when 4 views, 2 will be on top (side by side) and 2 will be at bottom (side by side)) I want to show the what camera is seeing in all the views. I mean all the views must render according to camera. Is it possible?

I want to show or hide some elements (textviews and edittexts) with checkbox. I set their visibility to gone in layout file. Showing them when user checks the box works, but the when user unchecks it, they don't hide. (android 1.5 and 1.6)

Right - have now got a good reminder snooze app (calendar snooze) - but as mentioned here before it still cant do anything with tasks as android doesnt remind fully for tasks
so - im thinking of creating a calendar called 'tasks' and using this for task-events - and then not showing it in my normal calendar apps. it could mess everything up
one thought is will calendar apps be able to show differnt event filtering views with different widgets etc ?
ie: widget 1 shows normal calendar with 'tasks' filtered out widget 2 shows just 'tasks' calendar.
I'd like to have code sample (xml & java) of how I can overlay buttons (any view) into a camera video preview. Of course I'd like real Buttons : no bitmap of the button over a video. I need to keep the clicked event, button pressed/up functionality, etc
Where can I find such Tutorial ?
I have openGL layered on top of camera view by using the 'workaround' specified at-http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread... and it works great.
However, has been mentioned before that surfaceviews were not designed to be layered ontop of each other- [url]
As you can notice in the code snippet thats mentioned in the first thread, to get openGL working on top of camera we are first setting the contentView to be the openGL view and then adding the camera (on top of it) instead of the other way around as one would expect it. I am assuming there's something strange going on in here as it has also been mentioned that Z-order is not supported on surface views- [url]
Now my question is will all devices have this behavior? Can I use this behavior in my app to get openGL layered on top of camera preview? Please answer this query, its so cool to have openGL over the camera preview! It opens up for some amazing stuff!
I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.
I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.
i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.
Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.
How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?
I want to populate a table, defined in layout xml file through the programmatic way. I have define Table with a single row defining its header, with all the attributes set. Now i want to know a way so that i can just replicate that header row in the table with new content.
I tried using inflator inflate(int,view) method, but at runtime it showed up with error.
Here is the XML code for the layout file defining the table
CODE:.................
I have the following XML code:.................
The idea is to change the views, whenever I press one of the radio buttons. When I press a button the first time everything works out fine, but the second time I press a button, I get an IllegalStateException, and I can't quite see why I'm getting this.
Also, the Activity seems to set all my global variables to null, which is why I have to create them every time I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa. So I would like to know if there is a way I can save my views in the Bundle, or any other way in which I can permanently save my views, so I don't have to add or create them every time, I flip the phone. And whenever I flip the phone, it seems that it rereads the main XML file, causing the RadioGroup to be set to 2D even if the 3D button is checked. This is because I've said the 2D button to be checked from when the app is first created, but I would like to also save the state of that RadioGroup.
How do you align views relative to the "middle" part of another view? I think it is best explained with a pic of the UI I'm trying to create in android.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to query a root view of an activity for all of its child views even before the root view or its children have been inflated? I guess what I'm looking for is whether a view knows ahead of time what children it will have before it gets inflated, and can I get that list in some way. Bizarre I realize, but I think it will help me with some unconventional automation testing I'm working on. I haven't found anything in the API like this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know I'm not the only person that gets emails with embedded html or inlined images via google mail. When I get emails like this, I have to click on "Show HTML" or "Show Picture" every single time an email comes in if I actually want to see the email the way it was intended to be shown. I know for a fact that iphones and other email readers dont have any issues with this. Is there a setting to automatically display the email the way it was meant to be shown instead of having to click these buttons each time I want to view the email correctly? Or, perhaps there's already a market app that forces the android email client to display emails correctly?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe android camera API is bound to one camera device, but in some situation we have lots of camera device in a netbook or handset. We can't use the same application with different camera device dynamically. For example, we can select the camera device in the VLC (Video LAN Client) on windows because there is direct show on it, but we can't do that on android by camera API without changing the framework. Guys, is there any mistake at my understand? Is there any plan to modify framework to support this situation ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an Android app that has multiple screens the user will need to navigate between and I am curious what the best practices are when switching between those screens. I am torn between creating a new Activity for each screen and simply changing the view (setContentView(R.layout.whatever)). The screens all share at least some variable values so I'm leaning toward changing views and using class level variables, but I'm worried a single activity could become very large and confusing with logic for multiple screens in a single file. I'd like to keep the code clean and separated, but I also don't want to be passing several variables around between views if that isn't needed.Being new to Android development, I'm hoping some more experienced members of the community could share their thoughts and let me know how best to handle it

I currently have one Scrollview which contains a table layout and one list in my activity. Now my problem is that I wanted to move both of them(Scrollview and list) together and with proper synchronization... So if scrollview is being scrolled then listview should also scroll with the same distance, and vice versa...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of views that are populated with data from an online database. The context menu has a "refresh" choice that re-reads the online database and updates some attributes of the views, like setText and setChecked for some buttons. After the various setTexts and such, I invalidate the Views. However, they are not immediately redrawn. In fact, they don't get redrawn at all unless something like a rotation happens to cause a redraw of the screen. How can I initiate an immediate redraw after the refresh is complete?
