Currently I use a TextView with a top drawable as specified in the code below: The problem is that I would like the background to only be around the text and not around the drawable too. How can I achieve that? Code...

The name of my Android app is 14 characters long with no spaces, as such, the full name is not visible on the home screen when displayed under the launcher icon.I want to use an alternate name for displaying under the launcher icon, so I can break up the name into two strings separated by a space - so that the words should wrap.How can this be done?

I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words "Light Racer" directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust got the HTC Hero from Sprint and so far am loving almost everything about it. One question that I hope someone can help me with:Is there a way to change the size of icon's text or label (or perhaps the text itself)? For example, I have a screen with several Google apps on it, but they look like this: "Google M..." (for Google Maps); "Google S..." (for Google Sky), etc. It would be great if I could just change this to "Maps" or "Sky."

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like my application icon to be available to other applications.
I understand this is a bit unclear so will try explain:
Applications such as Astros program manager lists applications with their icon. For all apps this is the correct icon as on the launcher, except mine which is displaying the standard android icon. I have set my icon as the manifest using: android:icon="@drawable/runninglate"
This works on the launcher but Astro still shows the default icon from when I create the project (which I deleted a long time ago). I have also tried renaming my icon file to icon.png in case this was a standard. This also failed to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've started learning about drawing things to the screen with Surface view and canvases, but I've run into a problem. At the moment, all I want to do is draw a background image to the screen, and have it fit the screen, regardless of size or resolution. I've figured out how to draw the image just fine, but it doesn't fit the screen at all.
Here is my situation: I'm developing on an Archos 5 internet tablet. It has a 4.8 inch screen and a resolution of 800x480 - putting it in the "Large" class of screens and "Medium" class of pixel density for Android. My background image is 800x480 - my thinking was that it would be displayed perfectly on my device, and scaled down on smaller screens.
But this isn't happening. When I place my image in the "medium" density drawables folder, the image seems "zoomed in" and I can't see it all on my device. And when I emulate the app with different screen sizes, it's all over the place.
I'm drawing my image in a Panel which extends Surface View. Here is the code:
Code:
package com.plant.drawing;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.content.Context;
[Code] ....
In my layout, I set this panel's properties of layout height and width to "wrap content." I'm really new to Surface views and the like, so I'm sure I'm simply not doing something - but what can I do to make this image fill the background of any size screen? The image is a .png, by the way.
