Android : Syntax For Drawable Resource XML "alias"?
May 14, 2010
Does anyone know the syntax for an XML file for a single bitmap drawable resource? What I'm looking to do is "alias" a drawable in my app. I have need for the same image with 2 different names, and rather than including the image twice in my res/drawable directory, I'd rather alias it (it's fairly large). In other words, instead of:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.png
I'd like to have:
res/drawable/name1.png res/drawable/name2.xml
where name2.xml looks SOMETHING like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <bitmap src="@drawable/name1" />
Is this possible? If so, any idea what the syntax should be? I can't find it in the docs, and I've had no luck with trial-and-error.

I have some image names stored in a database, but the images themselves are in the /res/drawable folder of the application. I need to assign these images to some views at runtime, and I'm currently doing it this way:
// public static final String DRAWABLES_PATH = ":drawable/";
int resId = getResources().getIdentifier(packageName+DRAWABLES_PATH +imageName,null,null); mButtonX.setBackgroundResource(resId); //
Is there a more efficient way to do it? Or should I be storing the images directly in the database (they are many)?

Does all resource (all in res folder if on eclipse IDE), specially drawable image, is loaded to memory during runtime? Or it is just like a file which is available when the application need it?

I am trying to create a drawable in code and change the color based on some criteria. When I try and set the Drawable as the background of the ImageView it displays but won't let me set any padding. I realized I need to set the ImageView image via the setImageDrawable() function in order to be able to set the padding. The problem I am running into is that when I set it via the setImageDrawable() function nothing is displayed.
Here is what I have written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.icon);
ShapeDrawable mDrawable; int x = 0; int y = 0;
int width = 50; int height = 50;
float[] outerR = new float[] { 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12 };
mDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(outerR, null, null));
mDrawable.setBounds(x, y+height, x + width, y);
switch(position){ case 0: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 1: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 2: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 3: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff00c000); //Green break;
case 4: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 5: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff0000ff); //Blue break;
case 6: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 7: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff696969); //Gray break;
case 8: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffff00); //Yellow break;
case 9: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 10: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 11: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff8b4513); //Brown break;
case 12: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffa020f0); //Purple break;
case 13: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff0000); //Red break;
case 14: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffffd700); //Gold break;
case 15: mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xffff6600); //Orange break;
} icon.setImageDrawable(mDrawable); icon.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
This results in a space for the ImageView but no image.

Can I have sub-folders to hold my drawable resources. For example can I store an image in, say, 'res/drawable/content/images/myimage.jpg' and then find that resource via a call to:
id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("com.mycompany.myprog:drawable/ content/images/myimage", null, null);
I have tried this and it doesn't seem to be working (but I may have something wrong). Is it supposed to work or do all the resources need to be in the root drawable folder? Also, are jpeg files supported and drawable resources?

Is it possible to do this?

I have an XML resource file:
<resources> <section>
<category value="1" resourceId="@xml/categoryData1" />
<category value="2" resourceId="@xml/categoryData2" />
<category value="3" resourceId="@xml/categoryData3" />
</section> </resources>
Using XmlPullParser, on the START_TAG, I can use:
int value = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "value", 0);
to get values 1, 2, 3...however:
int resourceId = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "resourceId", 0);
doesn't work...it just yields the default value 0, or whatever I change the default value (3rd parameter) to be. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is possible?

This page in the Android documentation defines an element id as follows:
CODE:......
However this page defines it as:
CODE:..........
I thought I had a decent understanding of what was going on until I saw this second example. In the first case, you need the + character so that id 'label' is added to the R file, correct? In the second case, would the EditText's id not be added to the R file because it does not contain the + character?
Also, the second example does not include the android namespace on the id. Does having or not having the Android namespace affect whether that id will be added to the R file?

In my XML values strings code, I have a string with some text that I want to have only a few of the words in color. I also want to have a new line for some of the text.
I can do things like: < b> my bold text < /b> and that works (leading space added for this post).
I try to tag the text with color but no color shows up and there are no errors.
CODE:.............
I also try adding a new line - I've tried things like:
< LF> some text, space at beginning only for this post < /LF>
< CR> this didn't work either < /CR>
< p> some text, space at beginning only for this post < p>
But, no new paragraph / new line, carriage rtn happens.

I need to display a single list, ordered by date which contains different types of data, images, video and whatnot.
I guess you could have one separate table for each type and the use something like FULL OUTER JOIN (simulated as sqlite doesn't support it) and sort on date. But this would be complicated because I still need to have unique IDs across all tables.
Maybe having a master list which has ID and date, and then JOIN in the types tables? But how bad is the performance of this using sqlite? I really like to avoid having a super table which contains columns all the combined types could ever need.

How to make custom AVD skins by editing the layout file and associated .png files in the android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid-nnnskins folders. The syntax of the layout file is simple and pretty self-explanatory but I'm curious about it ...
Is it meant to be hand-edited or is it generated from some tool or utility I should be using?
Any idea why they used this curly-brace syntax instead of something standard like XML?
