Android :: Stretching ListView To Single Screen

View 3 RepliesI'm writing an app for DroidX which is 480x854.
I set up my AVD as follows:
CODE:..........
That's it. The emulator loads fine and looks great but my app doesn't fill_parent for some reason. See here:
It doesn't scale all the way up and I'm not sure why.
Here is my XML:
CODE:...................
In the application I am working on now I came up with the following problem. I have list view which is displaying items with images in most cases it will be different image for different items (thumbnails about 60x60 pixels). So the problem is how can I handle image processing for the view. For know I have the following variants:
1. I can cache all bitmaps and when I try to display view I get bitmap from cache synchronously and display it. The problem is that 60x60=3600x4=14kb per bitmap which is waste of resources.
2. When I need to display view I can register event to some thread to decode the associated bitmap which will decode it in background and than to update gui. This sounds good for me the scrolling is still smooth because all image processing is done in background. Updating list view is bit jerky for now I am doing it view notifyDataSetChanged which is updating all visible views although I can update thumbnail for a single item.
So question one is is there better way the update single listview element than calling notifyDataSetChanged.
How do you do you fetch a single RSS feed and show it in an ListView?
I realize there's hundreds of ways, but a clean and simple example would be appreciated.
I am having this issue where I am trying to have a single TextView span one to two lines, fill the cell completely (so you can also click edges of the cell and it will trigger) and center-align.
This is the layout for the cell:
CODE:...
However cells seems to be filled correctly ONLY if it happens to wrap around and end up spanning two lines of text. It shows center-aligned and you can click anywhere in the cell to trigger the click. The cells that do not span multiple lines of text are left-aligned and trigger (highlight) only if you click where the text is. There is a "numb" area which does not react to clicks inside the cell if the text is short.
I am new to android development and have been tasked with developing an app. One of the screens will require there to be a list of people with some thumbnail information about them, similar to:
Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
[code]....
This information will be stored in an SQLite DB. Now I can see that listView seems only to work with a single column. What is the best way to go about this?
I'm developing an simple application on Android, where some items are shown on a list. The user may click on one, taking him to a further activity.But my OnItemClickListener does not get called! I've found this very similar question, but the solution (disallow the list item view to get focus) does not work for me. However, a long click gets catched my OnItemLongClickListener gets called. Please have a look at the following code and try it yourself. This is a simplified version of my code, showing the buggy behavior. Btw: I'm using Andriod SDK 2.0 with Eclipse 3.5.1.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Eclipse Juno and I'm working on an app with that.
The main activity will have a scrollable menu that takes you to all the other activities.
So the general structure/outline right now:[HIGH]Relative Layout ImageView (header logo type thing) ListView (the actual scrollable menu)[/HIGH]Here's the problem though... I can't find any simple list tutorials. I can easily make a single line list work but I need to make a two line list and one that is static, not dynamic and no examples are out there for that. It's like if you want to make a 2 line list, you can only learn how to do it in the most code-heavy ridiculous way possible.
Essentially what I am looking for with the list is this: Item one: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Resources)
- Item two-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
- Item ??: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Tools)
- Item ??-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
Nothing dynamic that is ever going to change, no super complex wonkey calculations, just to simply have the data set in stone (preferably via XML) and to call it into the list.
I experimented with some of the other list views and no matter what I did, I could get, via editing the resources and NOT using Java, more that one item on a single line but it wouldn't format it properly according to the layout I guess because I haven't got the ID correct or whatever I don't know.
I mean, all the examples I've seen for a 2 line list are extraordinarily over-coded and just bloated. I mean I have a website I am still working on in C#/ASP.net that has far more complex things in it with half the code that I've seen for the examples of the two line lists.
I tried on my own to figure it out (I am decent with C# and vaguely familiar with Java, self taught, and programming for some other systems like Python, again all self-taught), but like ALL coding references, they're organised by the actual code you implement (that you don't know) instead of by what you want it to do (so you have to search the whole code base to find something that you don't know what it's called but know what it does). >:C
Can we run two activities on a single screen? if so, then could anyone give me an as to how its done?
View 4 Replies View RelatedKind of a newbie question, I suppose:
I've got a horizontal layout with Button, SeekBar, Button. I'd like the actual space (and active area) of the button to be somewhat wider than the image (a round dot) used for the button.
So I tried setting paddingLeft and paddingRight on the button.
But what I got was the round dot stretched into an oval.
How would I increase the width of the button without stretching the image?
It seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.
Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg
As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.
Here is my code:

View 2 Replies View Related related to the the screen resolution change of Bluestacks for Windows.With changing registry entries it is possible to change the size to greater resolutions, for example FHD 1920x1080..Window and full screen will use FHD but the content is STRETCHED from a smaller resolution with gives text and some graphics an unsharp view.
Is it anyhow possible to get a REAL resolution change without stretching?

View 24 Replies View RelatedAs we know android comes with 3 or 5 or 7 home screens. I want to set wallpaper image on a single home screen programetically and fix it for all other home screens.
I used following code :
Display display =((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefau ltDisplay();
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(wallpaperImage,display.g etWidth(),display.getHeight(), true);
setWallpaper(bmp);
and wallpaper image is set but it spans across all 3 home screen. How can i fix it to one screen so that if user swaps home screen a single image will display.
If you're only running a single screen(as I am) what would be the correct size for a picture to fit perfectly? I can't seem to figure it out.

I have context menu option to send SMS to contact from the list, I start SMS activity there and Im able to return to my app. If I don't type anything in SMS screen, just return immediately everything is fine. List will work. If I type something in SMS and press back key, toast will be displayed: "Your message is saved in Drafts". And now if try to switch tabs, list content disappears.
Debugging revealed that list items are present, and that list adapter constructor is called. However, listAdapters GetView function is never called. And list results are not displayed.

I have two textviews, a listview (this is a listactivity, by the way) and a datepicker. All is supposed to be displayed in this order, vertically.
The problem is that the ListView is pushing the datepicker below the screen, to the depths of the unseen world. I want the datepicker to have its own space, fixed at the bottom, while the listview grows as needed, but still allowing datepicker to have its own space.
+/- like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ screen top
TextView 1
TextView 2
|
|
|
| ListView [*]
|
|
|
DatePicker (stays here no matter how much List grows or shrinks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ screen bottom
[*] -> This listview will scroll a lot, but won't hide datepicker!
I know it's very lazy to ask for ready code, but could you guys share a light? This is driving me crazy. I've tried millions of combinations I believe.
I'm trying to add a listview on the bottom of my opening activity that has two text items. Anyone know how to do this? I see stuff on how to do a listview with two columns, and how to do a listview at the bottom of an activity, but I can't find any that does both.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a listview that when scrolled and the items go off of the screen they are not redrawn when I scroll back to them (the text and checkbox). In fact, items that are off the bottom of the screen in the listview never get drawn when scrolling to them. This only happens in Froyo. Any other version it works just fine. I have checked and the data is there as expected in the adapter when the getItem method is called, it is just not visible. The listview item is there (it's occupying the same amount of screen space per item), I just cannot see the text or checkbox once scrolled off screen and back on again. Code...

What I would like is a scrollable ListView followed by a small bar of text (TextView) that doesn't scroll and always stays at the bottom of the screen.
it would look like this:
ListViewItem1
ListViewItem2
ListViewItem3
Bar of Text Here (always displayed irrespective of scroll state of the ListView)
I've tried a bunch of different variations on this, but none shows the static text
