Android :: Two SurfaceViews In FrameLayout
Jul 27, 2009
I have two SurfaceViews in one FrameLayout. So they are stacked upon another. What I want to achieve is to use the lower SurfaceView as kind of background that is changing heavily, and the upper SurfaceView as annotation overlay. So the upper SurfaceView has a (small) number of quickly changing elements that I will draw. Somehow, I can always only see one of the SurfaceViews, depending on which one is top. I thought that SurfaceViews are always transparent, but it seems I am missing something here.Any thoughts on why I can't overlay two SurfaceViews?

I am having an issue understanding how to get Bitmaps from resources in density specific directories to scale properly when drawing them to a Surface View.If I have a resource in folder "drawable" I expect it to be scaled up when run on hdpi screens and scaled down on ldpi screens and left as is on mdpi or 1.5 screens.Likewise I expect anything found in hdpi when run on an hdpi screen to remain unscaled. However, there is some combination of settings that I am not getting right to do this seemingly simple thing.I am not running compatibility mode so my manifest supports all screen sizes with anydensity=true.I do not understand the BitmapFactory.Options fields of inScaled, inTargetDensity, and inDensity that I am thinking have to be set appropriately and slightly different for each resource decoded depending on which directory they were found in and what screen they are currently run on.
All I have been able to find is that if either inTargetDensity and inDensity are 0, no scaling occurs, but if not, scaling occurs such that inDensity matches inTargetDensity. Is this correct?I have no idea what valid settings are for these fields from the documentation other than ints.What are the integer values for LDPI, MDPI, and HDPI? And how do I determine the density of a resource in order to set this before I decode it? Am I way off base in my approach for drawing bitmaps from various resource directories on various screen sizes?

I created a custom SurfaceView called CaptureView and tried to add it into main.xml file.The application seems to work fine but if I switch from main.xml tab to Layout in Eclipse the text NullPointerException appears instead of layout preview.Does anyone know how this issue could be solved?

I'm a new Android developer. I would like to make a simple game using the SurfaceView (Canvas drawing).the game has a a custom Object name Box. Box can draw itself and need to get an event when it is clicked. when it does, there is an animation sequence coming out of the box like a "jumping clown". I have several Boxes on the screen when each of them can be activated. Several Boxes animation can also be presented simultaneously.Here it gets tricky: Since I have a "complicated" animation sequence, each Box extends SurfaceView. The problem is I haven't figured it out how can I handle several SurfaceView's drawing using only one Thread (in order to present an animation I need to use one) and also how can I get the onClick/ onThouch event from my Activity to each of my Boxes.
The LunarLanding example in the SDK uses only one Thread but also uses only one SurfaceView which manage the animation of the game components (there are no several game components SurfaceViews). Also, there is no need to get onTouch event, so this example doesn't match to my case. I have several questions about what is the right approach do code this:
1. Should I use Box extends SurfaceView?
2. Can SurfaceView gets user events like onTouch/onClick?
3. Is there a way to add to the "main" SurfaceView another SurfaceView (Box)?
4. If none of the above questions is positive, should I use one SurfaceView (and one Thread) and try to map the other Boxes on the screen for user event handling. I mean Box only paints itself but the user event is being handled by me (not by the OS).
5. Should each Box (SurfaceView) should handle it's own Thread in case of animation (it is not good design but it is also an option)?
6. do you have any other proposal?

i'm in final stage of writing my custom widget (quite similar to Home's sliding panel). it works quite well except one thing: i have some problems with positioning it in FrameLayout (see 3 rightPanel* Panels in main.xml in attached eclipse project).basically i don't like the idea i'm using there: setting layout_marginTop in panelHandle children.

I'm following an example where the author hard coded a paddingTop to 370px. How do I make that paddingTop dynamic? When I run this in 2 AVDs with HVGA and WVGA80 I get the frame floating at different heights. I'd like to say something like paddingTop=80%, but that doesn't work.

I want to add a view inside a FrameLayout programmatically and to place it in a specific point within the layout with a specific width and height. Does FrameLayout support this? If not, should I use an intermediate ViewGroup to achieve this? My initial idea was to add an AbsoluteLayout to the FrameLayout and place the view inside the AbsoluteLayout. Unfortunately I just found out that AbsoluteLayout is deprecated.

I've got a game, a custom View class draws my gameboard. I'm thinking of drawing some elements on a separate layer above the gameboard. I could do this in the View's canvas code, but since they won't change frequently, was thinking of introducing a frame layout to display this top layer.I'm not sure which route to take, the only reason I wouldn't do the FrameLayout is because I'm not sure if it has an impact on battery life. Everytime onDraw() is called, the system probably has to do an alpha composition of the two layers. Is that more battery consuming than drawing the elements from that layer myself in my canvas on every frame? Hard to answer since I'm not sure how complex the drawing will be yet, any general opinions?

I have a FrameLayout in which I have 2 controls:
- a custom view which draws a image and some text on it
- a textview with a text
I want to center both in the FrameLayout but I can't manage to do it. The Texview is centered just fine, my cusom view remains on the left side, when I make it visible.

I am trying to put the zoom controls of the map on the bottom right corner of screen. I could do it with RelativeLayout using both alignParentBottom="true" and alignParentRight="true", but with Framelayout I did not find any such attributes. How do I align it to the bottom-right of screen?

I'm trying to retrieve the FrameLayout object that has its ID set to @android:id/tabcontent - doing this within a TabActivity class. How is this done? Is there a special notation to use with findViewById() with these types of IDs? Or does the TabActivity class have a method that I'm not aware of that will retrieve the FrameLayout object of my view?

I'm trying to open a dialog window, but every time I try to open it it throws this exception:
CODE:.................
I'm creating it by calling showDialog with the display's id. The onCreateDialog handler logs fine and I can step through it without an issue, but I've attached it since it seems like I'm missing something:
CODE:............
Is there something missing from this? Some questions have talked about having this problem when creating a dialog from onCreate, which happen because the activity isn't created yet, but this is coming from a call from a menu object, and the appContext variable seems like it is correctly populated in the debugger.

I'm writing an application which connects to a back office site. The backoffice site contains a whole slew of JavaScript functions, at least 100 times the average site. Unfortunately it does not load them, and causes much of the functionality to not work properly. So I am running a test. I put a page out on my server which loads the FireBugLite javascript text. Its a lot of javascript and perfect to test and see if the Android WebView will load it. The WebView loads nothing, but the browser loads the Firebug Icon. What on earth would make the difference, why can it run in the browser and not in my WebView? Any suggestions.
More background information, in order to get the stinking backoffice application available on a Droid (or any other platform except windows) I needed to trick the bakcoffice application to believe what's accessing the website is Internet Explorer. I do this by modifying the WebView User Agent.Also for this application I've slimmed my landing page, so I could give you the source to offer me aid. package ksc.myKMB;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class myKMB extends Activity {
I already have JavaScript on the web browser on, the problem is the web view is acting to different from the web browser.

1- Does Android Browser (Éclair code base) support the "plug-in" or not?
2- Why "Google Gears" support is removed from the clair code base?
I searched the forum and came to know that earlier version of the Android does not support it at all? Here is the link for that, but this query asked in Dec'2008.

At first,I have a database created by using Ruby on rails.I just already implement insert function(HTTPPost) in my Android Application and it's work.But I don't know how to retrieve specific record from my databases and insert it back to specific record in Android (Like edit function in RoR)This is my insert code :
private void insertComment() {DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://10.10.3.87:3000/comments");
// Configure the form parameters
List<NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[content]", t_comment.getText().toString();
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[id_account]", "1"));
nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("comment[id_place]", Integer.toString(position)I really try many ways out but it doesn't work and it takes very long time to fight with this piece of code. Actually, I really don't know how to specify RowID to HTTPPost.

I released updates of my apps yesterday and they are being hidden from android 1.5 and 1.6 phones.
This is due to a Market bug which hides apps with bluetooth permissions from android 1.5 and 1.6.
Come on Google fix the market. We spend countless hours making are apps work on ALL android versions and now you do this...
This issue has been raised since June, but has only affected me since i made an update to the market yesterday.

I'd like to add a menu option to the Android camera app. Is this possible to do using the current SDK? I know I need to add an intent-filter tag in my activity. But I don't know what I should put in the mime type. I want to be able to process the live camera previews if the user selects the menu option. So what do I put into the type tag of the intent-filter? Also I suppose I won't be using ALTERNATIVE or SELECTED-ALTERNATIVE for the category as I want to deal with the whole intent?
