I need a very simple menu which probably contains only one or two items: settings/options, where pressing one of them should show some customer defined parameters (is it called dialog), e.g., number of results shown. Is there any good tutorial on creating such kind of menus? I've looked at the "notepad" example in android, it doesn't really help.

I have managed to create a menu with four options. I want to create four sub menus of same style for each option.In my infinite nooby-ness I have created four classes for the sub menus but I cannot figure out how to move between the menus(Classes).For instance I have four options Prem, Champ, L1, L2, I have created the Prem sub menu but how do I get the program to move to this class(SubMenu) when the Prem option is selected, and how do I get it to move back.

1. How to Boot into Recovery.
2. Fix Package permissions.
3. Apply any zip from SD and choose one particular zip.

I have A LOT of apps on my Droid. Way too many, but that's a subject for another day. Getting to them on the default menu is impossible, its WAY to much scrolling. My home screen space is very limited - the left side is a full screen calendar, and the right side is a nearly full screen task list. The main home screen loses some space to a clock widget, so I end up with only a 4x3 space on my center screen to work with. Given all of the apps I have and all of the functions they do, this doesn't work. I need direct & instant access to at least a dozen things on the home screen, Plus much more a few clicks away. I have thus far found TWO decently sound organizational options for my Droid, but neither quite do it for me. Hopefully you guys know of another one that I have not yet found.Folders on the home screen. Put things in folders.Problems: Despite ability to name folders, Grey folders all look the same, making it harder to quickly grab the one you want when there is a screen full of them.impossible to nest folders (this feature alone would solve my problems)Folders don't auto close, pressing the home button takes you back to the home screen with the folder still open (yet one more button to hit to close it).Great app on the marketplace called "Apps Organizer"Pros:makes a list of all your apps, then lets you assign label(s) to them (like gmail). Then you can create shortcuts on your home screen to a specific label.Lets you select a unique Icon for each label.
Problems:When you click on the shortcut to open up that category, the tray of Icons is TINY. Significantly smaller than normal. This makes reading text labels of the apps "legible", but only with good eyesight.No nesting.No shortcuts to gmail labels, direct dial, direct messaging. So those groups of icons all have to go in the folders the plain grey indistinguishable folders.Temporary workaround:Create a folder for gmail labels, direct messaging and calling "folders" on the home screen.create 1 "reorganized" apps menu folder on the home screen that would link to ALL the apps, organized by labels into 6-8 categories. No more endless scrolling for the "occasional use" app.Create half a dozen labels for HIGH use applications and place those on the home screen for direct access to those categories.None of the options presented REALLY get the job done. grey indistinguishable folders remain, I still have to launch everything out of the TINY icons and text used by Apps Organizer, direct message, email, calling, labels still needs some work. Any suggestions? Am I missing any options in the above, or other ideas that would enhance this spit and duct tape organizational system?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am really struggling with linking menus together. The app I want to create is a collection of menus that leads to url links to various sites I plan to open within the application. I have created a list activity menu with 8 options and I have eight classes with further options. My problem is how to link the menus together. I ask the question and someone said that I should map. Here is the code:
public class MyList extends ListActivity {
private static final String Cp = null;
private static final String Pp = null;
private static final String L2 = null;
private static final String L1 = null;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
// Create an array of Strings, that will be put to our ListActivity
String[] names = new String[] { "Pp", "Cp", "L1", "L2", "Bt", "Se", "As", "Travel"};
// Create an ArrayAdapter, that will actually make the Strings above................
As I am one who cannot find any decent Android-based OpenGL ES references, I have decided to start one. You can check it out at http://www.vincepascuzzi.com. As I am not a seasoned GL programmer, any and all comments and/or questions are greatly appreciated!
My mission is to first create an OpenGL version of an application on Mac OS X, and then port to Android. Once the port is done, I go through each program, step-by-step, and contrast and compare how the port was done. I also explicitly point out any and all differences between the two, subtle or obvious.
I'd like to start creating Android apps but I don't like Java. I read that scala can be used to do it. Are there another option?(Clojure?) I'm a Python/Django developer so it would be great to learn a pretty different language.

What I don't know if it's possible is if I can have two different context menus for the two lists? And second, is there a way to check in which of the two lists the user has selected an item?
How could I capture an onListItemClick() and pass it to onCreateContextMenu()? In my ListActivity, I don't need regular clicks, so I'd like everything to go to the context menu.

What tutorials and libraries are available which can help beginners to develop 2D and 3D games on Android using OpenGL-ES? I'm looking for tutorials which can help me learn OpenGL-ES, and I'm looking for OpenGL-ES libraries which can make life easier for beginners in OpenGL-ES.
Since Android is still small, I guess it may be help-full to read iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials as well, as I suppose the OpenGL-ES functionality is much the same.
I have found the following useful information which I would have liked to share:
Android tutorials: DroidNova: Basic tutorial covering polygons, no textures anddev forum with some tutorials
Other Android OpenGL-ES information: Google IO lecture regarding games, not much OpenGLES The The Khronos Reference Manual is also relevant to have, but its not exactly the best place to start.
iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials (where the OpenGl-ES information is probably useful): http://web.me.com/smaurice/AppleCoder/iPhone_OpenGL/Archive.html
[url]
As for libraries which a beginner might use to get a simpler hands-on experience with OpenGL-ES, I have only found Rokon, which is recently started, thus has many holes and bugs. And it's gnuGPL licensed (at the moment) which means it cannot be used, if we wish to sell our games.
I follow the instructions exactly on this page (and some of the other tutorials) but they always seem to be missing some key information as they dont work out of the box
I added a bunch of packages that seemed like were missing, but now I'm stuck.

I have 1 activity, but would like to have multiple context menu's for different UI components.

Can any body give me some tutorials about operations on the android emulator ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy app used to use a standard ListView, and registerForContextMenu(getListView()) and everything worked just fine.
I needed to change my app to accommodate nested lists so I replaced the ListView with ExpandableListView. I changed the Activity to ExpandableListActivity. I also changed my adapter to a tree adapter and implemented a custom view class to populate the list with (based on a FrameLayout view).
Suddenly my context menus stopped working and I can't figure out why. I can't long click on any of my list items and I'm completely stuck on where to start looking.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a class (online) or tutorial that teaches android programing for dummies? It's frustrating knowing exactly what you want to do and no idea how to do it. Something that uses basic language and explains each line in detail to help a person remember how to do it later. Any suggestions would be great.

Actuaaly i want to a menu option to the native mail application in Android.. so that my activity / app can be launced on clicking that option. This feature has been successfully achieved in Blackberry and even in android for gallery application. On android i have achieved it by using intent filters.
<activity android:name=".DisplayAlternativeMenu"

<intent-filter android:label="My Activity">[code]....
This basically display an menu item"My Activity" when u press share in Gallery. and clicking on that launches my activity .But unfortunately it didn't work for Email Application. Looks like the pair of action & mimetype i am specifying is not correct. which action & which mimetype should be used. Also if there are any permission required,what are they?
My aim is to add an alternative menu while pressing menu in Compose Email(When a mail is composed) of the native email application
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.
