Android :: Using A Custom TTF Makes For Really Ugly Text
Oct 14, 2010
I have an app that contains a custom view, and in it I want to use a custom font. Unfortunately, this results in really ugly text being rendered.
My custom view extends Surface (and just realized: is this a bad idea), and I draw the text with the following code:
CODE:...............
The result looks like this:
Not fun. I'm using p.setFlags(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG) but even with that the result is just fudgly.
So, is there a way to improve custom TTF rendering, or should I just stick to the system fonts?

I need an app!
One that makes the phone "beep" every 3 minutes after a text comes in.
Old phones used to do this.
Why isn't this an option built right into the android firmware? why do i need an application for this?
AND
why isn't there an app for this already?

I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

I used to have this app that let me set different text (and ring) tones to different people. And also set different email tones too. Long story short my droid broke now i have a new one and cant find this amazing life saving app. Does anyone know what it is? Or have a similar app? (it's not ringdroid)

I need help to add text in a custom drawable. I'm looking in tha API (android.graphics...) but cannot find any way of doing this.
What I basically want is a drawable that contains text that I can change. Is this even possible today?
It must be a drawable as I use it where a drawable is required.

Please be kind, i have tried searching before posting and i seem to be as good as a chocolate fire guard. I have the samsung galaxy s and i installed hand cent sms (or something like that) which was good when it didn't freeze. My problem is, now that i have installed it i am now no longer able to assign a custom text alert as i had before, i have created a folder in the root and when i go to messages, settings, select ring tone i have the ones that came with the phone, plus option of default ring tone, can anyone help this stupid individual out. Also while your reading this novel and thinking "you really are useless" Is there anyway to find out WHEN people have sent there texts, it only shows the time it arrived.

I'm dealing with a phone that has no physical keyboard and I'm using my own custom view for rendering. The device I'm working with, by default, seems to be in a T9 type entry mode where it suggests blocks of text. However, it never sends me the actual key events.
How do I tell whatever soft-keyboard that pops up to enter 'dumb' key event sending mode?
The InputMethodManager has a "isAcceptinText()" call which would tell me if it's in event-sending mode, but not a method to set it. Digging through the documentation hasn't produced any insight. How do I tell the input manager that I only want key events?

I am trying to make a custom button, having two 9patch files, one for normal state and one for status.
First I tried with a simple 9patch background and the result is fine:
CODE:...................
I get a button with a image and a text bellow it. Everything with the main_button_background underneath
I create a new xml file (main_menu_button.xml) with the following content
CODE:................
The button becomes:
CODE:...............
Now the text isn't displayed, only the background and the imgsomeimage.

My requirement was to invoke a alert dialog with a string text that gets modified dynamically when the user hits a button every time
for example:
string str="you have clicked "+ count + "times";
where count is an integer variable that gets incremented every time the user hits a button. and when i assign this string to the text of an alert-dialog ,i get the alert-dialog at runtime but with an empty text value...ie. a naked alert-dialog with just OK cancel button.

I'm creating an opengl es application and I would like to be able to dynamically create the text of my buttons etc.
The 2 obvious reasons for that are:
-to be modular (changing the text quickly without using photoshop)
-to be able to add languages later down the line
give me the basic steps/functions to:
create textures form text load custom fonts to display text textures with the chosen custom font indicate if I can use this for loading Kanji ?

If there was any way that I could get a hint at the bottom of an Edit Text view -- and then the user to start entering text at the top of the box.
As a bonus question, is there any way I can make the hint NOT disappear once the user starts entering text.

So, I was just curious, is there a way to set custom text message alerts on the the Droid, or can you only use the default ones that came with it? I figured out how to do custom ringtones, but cant figure out custom text message alerts.

Is there a way to have a different tone for each contact on the stock android or with sense? I had a dumbphone back in the day that could do that, but my current lg versa doesn't and I have always wanted it. This is my first dive into android so I don't really know what comes stock and what doesn't.

Is there a way to set a custom ringtone for text messages? I see in the music app to set a song as a ringtone but it doesn't let me set it as a text tone. I also made a song a ringtone but it was not available to the text app. Someone mentioned Handscent but I was hoping to use the stock app. The Droids stock app apparently does allow music for ringtones as I just confirmed from my brother in law.

I'm trying to set custom text sounds with Ringdroid, but I'm having an issue. When I create the file, it shows up if I want to set it as the default for all text messages. However, when I go to choose it for a specific contact, the file doesn't show up.

I'm trying to create a custom titlebar in my app that looks like this (essentially):
For some reason, the icon shows up, but not the title text. It's really weird. For a split second you see the title text, but then it disappears and only the icon shows in the title.
My code is as follows:
==========================window_title.xml======== ==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
androidrientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="60px"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
[code]....

How would one go about doing this with a Droid 2? I'm trying to add them so I can set ringtones for individual contacts, so when they call, I know who is calling me. I have tones already picked out and saved to my Gmail account. I thought I would be able to set them from there, but it turns out that's not possible. I used to be able to do this on my LG Chocolate.I had sent the tones I wanted using a service called Mobile17.
