My app crashes with a null pointer exception on the code below. I have an xml preference file under res/xml/defaults.xml
public class Preference extends Activity {
public Preference() {
} public String getPreference(String key)
{ //it still crashes here
SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getApplicationContext());
String result = settings.getString(key, null); return result;
} }
Is it possible to place an imageView in a class that extends View in android?
If possible please give me a sample code.
I have a doubt, I don't know how to retrieve the key from the shared preference?

Can I use getCacheDir() only in a class that extends Activity? I would like to use it in an AsyncTask so that I can do the time intensive cache file saving in it.

I have a simple activity program in android. Basically the class just extends Activity.
But when I start it I get a ClassCastException in the constructor of my class. I don't even have a constructor defined, so it must be in the constructor of the superclass which is Activity. Unfortunately the debugger doesn't give any detailed information on what class it is trying to cast. Here is the stacktrace:
Thread [<1> main] (Suspended (exception RuntimeException))
ActivityThread$PackageInfo.makeApplication(boolean, Instrumentation) line: 649
ActivityThread.handleBindApplication(ActivityThread$AppBindData) line: 4232

And when I look into this runtimeexception I get:

The only code is:

public class MyApp extends Activity {

I looked into some examples of sharing data to other apps using content Provider. All these examples talks about sharing sqlite dbs. I need to share data under shared Preferences of my app to other apps using content Provider. Can I use content Provider to do that ?. Please let me know some pointers or sample code to share data other than sqlite db using content provider.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I tried to create a ViewFlipper inside a class which extends LinearLayout, its throwing an exception
"java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()".
I am creating the ViewFlipper using,
ViewFlipper flipper = new ViewFlipper(ctContext);
But when I create the ViewFlipper in a class which extends Activity, its working normally. What may the reason?
I've written an app with 3 tabs. Each tab has the same list view with different data sources. I have setup SharedPreferences in the tabhost activity, but I put my onSharedPreferenceChangeListener method in my listactivity. When I change a preference, my listener gets called and it updates my database. This is all working. However, if I change the data in tab 1, it calls my listener once. If I change the data for tab 2 it calls it twice and if I change the data in tab 3 it calls it three times. Any idea why it works this way? I guess I could setup my shared prefs in my listactivity and that might avoid the issue, but I'm curious why my listener is called multiple times if it's in a different tab.

I am using a PreferenceActivity to show some settings for my application.I am inflating the settings via a xml file so that my onCreate (and complete class methods).These preferences will automatically save to SharedPreferences as the user interacts with them. To retrieve an instance of SharedPreferences that the preference hierarchy in this activity will use, call getDefaultSharedPreferences(android.content.Context) with a context in the same package as this activity.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe preference type of UI is used in many Google built-in applications for example Bluetooth , Wifi etc. And the getView of the preference is used to set the image or text to make it visible in the UI screen.
the getView for the pref type UI is defined as below in framework code : ->
CODE:..............................
Where the convertView is not getting recycled and every time whenever the user is scrolling the list up and down, convertVIew comes out to be null.Therefore by logic inflation of the UI also happens all the time in onCreateView().This is a kind of shortcoming in terms of memory utilization , hence in a discussion (MAKE YOUR UI FAST AND EFFICIENT) where Romain Guy has mentioned about the tricks to increase the app performance doesn't hold good for preference type of UI.

This is my first Android app (which is a soft keyboard, with dvorak layout) and so far it has gone pretty smoothly (either because or despite working from the sample code). I've had some problems (with special/swedish characters) that I've managed to take care of, but this problem I can't figure out how to solve..
But when I click the list item to edit it, i get an empty dialog (Title and button is shown right and with the text I set in the xml- file, but no list, screenshot: http://i49.tinypic.com/2501p55.png ). I can't see any problem with the program code (which isn't many lines..) or the xml (the arrays are generated by the Android utils in Eclipse and the preferences is a mix of auto and manual). You can see both Java code and XML here: http://pastebin.com/m4c52c3a2 (titles etc in Swedish..) (I've also tried a EditTextPreference item, which seemed to work fine..) I have also looked at the log/output using adb, and can't see any problems there either, so I have no idea onto how to solve this.
It occur some problems to develop U/I. there is a PreferenceActivity that was aleady developped and is typecally like 'Settings' of android. by the way, the customer is requiring to change U/I like IPhone.Requirements are
1.application title-bar using ImageView(or TextView) positions to top
2. remove ContextMenu, alternativly static menu buttons positon to bottom.
3. PreferenceActivity is able to scroll and title-bar & menu buttons are fixed each positions.
just all. but It's very difficult to add & fix two views in Preference Activity.
I'd like to be able to customize the view of a Preference Screen, and so I'm interested in knowing how to set a style for it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to build my own custom view which should look like the Crysis-GUI.At first I designed a XML-based Layout and made it visible via the setContentView(int resid)-Method. Worked pretty well.But now I wan't to go a step further and draw in my Layout. So I created a new Class, let it extend View and overrode the onDraw()-Method. So far so good.But how can I still use my XML-Layout? I can't do setContentView anymore, so how could the same effect be achieved?
