Everything was working fine earlier. I then happened to add a new xml file to my layouts. now, one of my classes is giving an error when setContentView points to (R.layout.menu). Eclipse is telling me that R.layout.menu cannot be resolved. I can't figure out why; I have a layout called menu defined in my layout folder.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a screen (in portrait mode) that shows 4 images (same size, intended to scale down to fit screen), taking up the entire screen, breaking up the screen into quadrants (a tall, 2x2 grid). This will act as a main menu type of activity and each image should be clickable, in order to take the user to a different activity.
I have tried using a GridView inside a LinerLayout (using a lot from Google's GridView tutorial) but cannot get the images to all scale properly to fill the entire screen. I get extra margins around the images and/or scrolling of the entire screen. I have also tried using a TableLayout, placing 2 images in each of the 2 rows. Visually, that worked perfectly. Unfortunately when using that, I cannot seem to reference the ImageView items in the TableLayout in my activity code (findViewById always returns null)..................
After using home++, when i hit the arrow to bring up all my apps, the only app that show is "settings" . i can get to my other apps that are shown on a home screen, but the ONLY app showing on the pull down screen is settings! i shut down, removed battery, and restarted twice, but still no luck.
I know a lot of others use home++, so is there something in the settings that went wrong, or what??! help! i love the home++.. when it works!
I've noticed that some users have not found my app's preferences sub menu, so I want to show that sub menu when the user first-time-ever starts the app.
Since onCreateOptionsMenu() would not have been called yet, how can I programmatically show such a sub menu?
BTW: openOptionsMenu() is not what I want because I want to open a sub menu. I suppose its part of the solution though. However, I get an exception when I call it:
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running? at android.view.ViewRoot.setView(ViewRoot.java:468) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 177) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 91) at android.view.Window$LocalWindowManager.addView(Window.java:424)
even though, at the same point in the code, I can successfully open new AlertDialogs.
How to show menu items automatically (without clicking menu button) when the layout is viewed?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis might be a simple question, but I've been looking around and can't find the answer,
well, as my title said, is there any code to show the context menu on the android from a code, instead press the menu button? eg. when i touch the screen then it'll call the context menu?
My application has some buttons in the bottom part of activity layout, almost the same like iphone has on ipod app for example. I would like to create my layout so that it will self adjust on different screen sizes.
For example if the content in my layout has height = 400dip and the menu bar in the bottom has height = 100 dip, on every screen size (240*320, 320*480 etc.) i would like the menu bar to stay at the bottom so :
- on screen size 240*320 -> 100dip - for menubar -> 220dip - for content => it remains 180 dip to show, so this content area should be in some kind of a scrollview so that i can view 400dip in only 220dip.
I have tested different possibilities, with relativelayout so that the menu bar could stay on bottom, but i could not put the scroll view on top so that the scroll appears only on small screen sizes.
This is so sick, how do you build your layouts for different screen sizes ?
I have written my input method on lines of LatinIME. My IME "MyIME" has a service and an activity similar to LatinIME.
Installing it to emulator via eclipse does not seem to work and hence I have tried the following approaches.
MY GOAL: ~~~~~~~~ All I need as the first step to know that I am heading in the correct direction is that I should be able to see "My IME" as one of the available input methods. For example, on any EditText, when I "long click & release", the Input Method menu that pops up must also show "My IME" as one of the available input methods.
However so far the pop-up only shows "Android keyboard" (LatinIME). Hence I tried the following approaches.
Approach-1: =========== I checked out the andorid source code and built & ran it successfully to make sure I got the build process right. I created my project in ~/mydroid/packages/inputmethods/MyIME. It has the package structure 'com.android.inputmethod.myime' (to be in line with Android's package structure, I am not sure if this is required).
I ran a build using "make". Make succeed in compiling MyIME, just like LatinIME and all the android tools were also created. However looking at the build output, LatinIME was installed into /system/app/ LatinIME.apk while MyIME was not installed at all.
Question with respect to approach-1: ------------------------------------ 1. How to get the build process to install MyIME into /system/app as MyIME.apk?
Since install did not happen via the build process, I started the newly built emulator (and newly built ddms to watch logs) and used follownig install approaches:
Approach-2: =========== I ran 'ant debug' to get MyIMESettings-debug.apk. Then I ran 'adb install MyIMESettings-debug.apk'. The attempt failed with the message "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]". Hence I tried the approach-3.
Question with respect to approach-2: ------------------------------------ 2. Why did the install fail when the project was built using 'ant debug'? Is it some thing to do with debug signature?
Approach-3: =========== The build process had created an APK file but hadn't installed it (/ mydroid/out/target/product/generic/obj/APPS/MyIME_intermediates/ package.apk) I renamed that package.apk to MyIME.apk and installed it using "adb install MyIME.apk". The install succeed. However, the adb install put my APK under /data/app with the name "com.android.inputmethod.myime.apk" instead with name MyIME.apk
Question with respect to approach-3: ------------------------------------ 3. Is there any way to get "adb install MyIME.apk" to install into / system/app folder?
Again, what I am trying to achieve is mentioned under "MY GOAL".
I don't even know what to call it. I know its the one with brightness, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, gps, and something else, ALL in one widget and I think it comes native on the EVO. Is there a button press to get it to show up?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a menu in XML using the eclipse software.Unfortunately, I'm no expert in XML but I have attempted to create a basic menu.
The issue I'm having is the alignment of the menu buttons. The buttons on the left column are smaller in width compared to the buttons in the right column. I know this may not seem much of an issue now, but the problem is made worse if I edit the text value of the buttons.
I want to achieve even distribution for both columns of buttons but I have been scratching my head trying to figure this one out!
find below an image describing my program and the code:
Code:
<TableLayout

I want to show a menu similar in look and feel to the sub-menus. I want the menu to come up when we tap on the screen. Is it possible to have sub-menus displayed without creating the main options menu? I do not want to use context menus for this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedContext Menu seems quite handy as long as we are using an AdapterView as we can easily get selected item position in onContextItemSelected from AdapterContextMenuInfo.position Any idea how we can achieve something similar in a TableLayout? In my TableLayout, i have some TableRow and i would like to get the row index in the onContextItemSelected callback like i would do with a simple ListView. I guess i will have to register the contextmenu for each row? but how can tie the row index with the menu? i see no way to do it with registerForContextMenu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a TextView with its MovementMethod set to LinkMovementMethod. Text added to the TextView is a combination of normal text and URLs. For URLs, I would like to offer a context menu when the URL is long pressed for doing things such as copying the address. I've had a look at the source for LinkMovementMethod but it doesn't seem to have any long pressed related code I could override. Any ideas on how to go around achieving this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to create an application with 4 view. I need to pass from a view to an other simply by a touch and a move to the left or to the right (no button). The effect I would like is the same that you see when you navigate in the main menu of android when you pass from a page to another.
I have tested the ViewFlipper, but I cannot use it: it seems not to catch the touch event correctly. I don't even know if it is the right component.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to change the default layout which Android uses for show the alternative keys when performs a long-press on a key. Keys have an attribute "android:popupKeyboard" used for define the layout of the alternative key list (which could be a Keyboard reference) but when I use it the Android's default layout still appears. Is possible to change or override this layout?
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile developing for Android, I am unable to open more than one main.xml file in an Eclipse editor at a time.Each time I open one, it simply replaces the editor (tab) of the first main.xml with the new one, instead of opening a new tab - even if the contents of the existing tab were unsaved.Even stranger, I can open multiple main.xml files from different projects with no problems.This only happens when they're within the same project.
