Android :: Smaller Tabs Such As Facebook Official App

Feb 14, 2010

I want to create an application that uses small tabs, such as the one the Android's facebook official app uses. Does anyone know how these kind of tabs can be created? Do I need to extend the TabHost class in order to customize it, or is there a more general easier approach?

Android :: Create Smaller Tabs ?

Aug 21, 2010

I am trying to create smaller tabs in android -- but I can't seem to get it to work because all that happens when I create a smaller tab is that it shows the bigger tab -- but without a drawable.

This is my layout code for tabs now -- but the height isn't wrapping for some reason -- it just goes to Android's usual layout height.

CODE:.........................

It would be great if someone could help me create something like the Facebook application -- I think that looks really clean and I would love to implement something like it:

Android :: How To Get A Gesture View Like In Official Facebook App

Sep 3, 2010

I want to implement the same behaviour of the notification view in the official Facebook app.

The "notifications" tab are at the bottom and can drag/drop via fingers to full screen.

How can i do that?

I've tried it via ViewFlipper and Animation.... But no success.

Does anyone know how we can do this?

The app "Zedge" has the same in the "search" function. Via drag/drop you can open the "search" view.

Android :: Scrollable Tabs - Dolphin Browser When Using Multiple Tabs

Jun 19, 2010

I'm currently working on my first android application. I am using a tabbed layout for my application. I followed the tutorial for this on the dev guide and ran into a problem. The tutorial only used three tabs, but I have a need for more. As such, the tabs resize and bunch up. I was hoping someone could tell me how I can make them scroll, like in dolphin browser when using multiple tabs.

Android :: TABS In 2.0 Vs 1.5 - Rounded Corners TABS

Feb 27, 2010

I simply use the tabwidget :

CODE:..........

Why are my tabs so uggly in 2.0 (no more rounded corners as in 1.5/1.6) ?

ugly tabs here

=>

This was better

What should I do now to show "rounded corners" TABS to Nexus One (for exemple) users ;-) ?

Is it because of the following manifest lines :

CODE:................

I have to keep android:anyDensity="true" otherwise I've got a problem with re-sizing of the menus described here

As a separate question, my users can change the Locale within my app itself, I then "redraw" the menus using onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) to refresh the strings within the menu with the new language choosen by the user. Is there an equivalent for TABS (I have local strings within the Title of the TABS) or do I have to delete all the tabs and re-create them from scratch ?

Android :: Tabs - MapView - Activities Within Tabs

Oct 19, 2009

We're in the process of writing an app that has 4 tabs: Map, People, Places, Events. The People, Places, and Events in the App show up as Icons on the map. By default the People, Places, and Events tabs each show a listview, custom rendered, displaying all the People, Places, and Events respectively.

Now, right now each of the tabs has as its content an Intent set to launch the corresponding activity. For instance, there is a MapTabActivity that extends MapActivity, a ShowPeopleListActivity that shows the people, and so on and so forth.

I see a lot of StackOverflow questions/answers saying that due to various limitations in the way the TabHost is setup, it's best NOT to use activities as the content of tabs. For instance, it's impossible to launch a new activity and have it take the place of the existing activity within a tab, whereas it's possible to switch out a View with a different view.

Now, I'm at a crossroads. We've (for better or worse) devoted a fair amount of time trying to get this app to work the way it's currently structured, with the Activities as the content of the tabs. When an icon corresponding to a Person, Place, or Event is clicked, it fires off a VIEW Intent on a URI corresponding to that object; this is picked up by an Activity that then shows the object. The same mechanism is at work both in the Map and in the individual lists. We really like the loose coupling this provides us; we just give a VIEW command and the URI to the person/place/event and it automatically brings us to the right activity. Granted, the activity that's launched covers up the tab view rather than appearing inside of that, but we were willing to live with this.

Here's an issue though: from the Show activity, we want to be able to go back to the map, centered at that person, place, or event. We can launch a new activity to show the map again, but now we have the map activity as the content of the tab, plus the show activity, plus the new map activity in the activity stack; given how resource intensive the map activity is, I'm guessing this is not the ideal way to go.

I guess my question is, is there a GOOD tutorial somewhere showing exactly how to do complex tasks with a TabHost? I've seen HelloTabWidget; I'm looking for something much more sophisticated than this. I'm worried that if we switch to the View based way of doing things, we'll have to do a LOT of housekeeping to intercept all the back events, try to switch out the views, etc., etc., as well as strongly coupling our program in a way we don't want.

Android :: How To Copy A Smaller Bitmap Into A Larger One

Mar 1, 2010

I'm trying to copy a series of small bitmaps into a larger one, arranging them side by side without any gaps or overlap in their pixels. For example, if I have 3 square bitmaps, I'd like to copy them into one long and thin rectangle. I know how to do the opposite, namely creating a small bitmap out of a larger one, but not this way around. What's the right command? I want to do this to be able to reuse some code I wrote for handling animation with a single bitmap.)

Android :: Why Is My Launcher Icon Smaller When Placed On Desktop?

Mar 30, 2010

I have an application built for 1.5 and I am adding higher resolution drawables to support hdpi devices in 1.6 and above.My original application icon is 48x48. I created a second launcher icon that is 72x72 and placed it in a res/drawable-hdpi/ directory.When I install the application on my Nexus One the icon looks good when I view it in the application menu.But when I place it on the desktop it appears small relative to other icons, my guess is I'm seeing the 48x48 version with no scaling.Do I need to do something differently either with my directory structure or my manifest file to get things to display correctly?

Android :: Way To Make EditText Smaller Than Default?

Mar 17, 2009

I need to show a large number of EditText controls on a screen, each of which will only allow entering 0-2 digits. The default EditText size is too wide for me to show enough EditText controls on a screen, but I have been unable to figure out how to make them narrower. I have tried the following attributes in XML: android:maxLength="2" android:layout_width="20dip" android:maxWidth="20px" android:ems="2" android:maxEms="2". So the question is: how can EditText be made smaller than default?

Android :: Smaller APK Size With Large Assets?

Oct 5, 2010

I am creating a simple android app to view a comic book. The pages are large(0.5-1 mb each), high quality .png's and I am loading them into a webview to make use of the built in zoom controls. So far I only have 17 files and the APK size is already about 16 mb. I'm looking to add over 200 files in future updates. I can't really reduce the quality too much because there is small text that must be zoomed-in on to read. Any suggestions? A similar question was posted here: How to reduce App (.apk) Size, but I don't want to lose the quality of the images. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to link to here, but you can have a look at my app by searching for Tracer (by Detour Mobile) on the android market if it helps at all.

Android :: How To Get Around Clipping Issues With My App In Smaller Phones

Nov 23, 2010

I have a basic linear layout, with image view that display photos, textviews that show text etc...and when I test my whole app on my android 2, there is never any part of the screen that doesn't show. But when I test it in the QVGA emulator, half the view is off the screen. Now, some of my text is defined to a certain size.

I never use px (only dip) in any of my xml. I use fill_parent, wrap_content where it is needed and never fix a height or length. Could it be with my text, I use say, textSize = 22dip? I couldn't find documentation on why that would not work in all sizes. Could it be that some apps need to be programmed to those screen sizes? Or am I missing something?

Android : Way To Shrink Layout On Smaller Phones?

Nov 24, 2010

I use a few small images on my app and I was wondering if (and how) I could ensure that the size of the image is relative to the size of the phone? Also, is there a way to shrink my layout on smaller phones so each layout fits within the screen - like if a random string (longer than others) would downsize in font so the whole layout was ensured to fit on the screen?
