I've searched and looked and can't find anything. I will admit I could be missing something completely. I just want a T9 style keyboard. I love it over everything for one handed. I had one on my mytouch when i had it over a year ago but I can't remember what it was called and I don't remember paying for it. I moved and can't find the phone. Anything? Definitely preferable if it's free. If it's not possible screen shots?

I just upgraded to Android 2.1, and I HATE the keyboard defaulting to XT9 style. Is there a replacement keyboard program that will let XT9 be disabled, AND that will let me use the cell phone keypad style for input? I do most of my texting with 1 hand and find the cell phone keypad style easier to use.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my Droid 2 today, and I have a few questions to ask with one notable one.
Most importantly, is it possible to change the virtual keyboard into an ABC style instead of the traditional QWERTY? I'm not sure which I would stick with in the end, but I would like to try out another orientation.
Wi-fi drains the battery, right? I have horrible phone service at my house(home for the holidays) but at school the service is great, should I bother using Wi-Fi regularly?
Also is it possible to have the screen wake up when it is touched? The lock screen seems a bit unnecesary considering that there is already a lock button, so it would be nice to disable one or the other.
EDIT: Also, it seems like my phone has decided to spam my contact list with all of my Facebook "friends." That seems like it could cause some problems...
Also do you have any suggestions for a music player over the standard one? I have not really looked through the market yet personally(mostly due to the horrible service here), so any suggestions are welcome.
Are their any different keyboard themes in the market place? Like a MOTO Droid looking keyboard or iPhone style one?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAny View have a constructor public View (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) which called when View declared with a style attribute So, if I have some class inherited from View class, I can access to declared attributes (like "android:layout_width" or "android:background") via AttributeSet attrs in a constructor. But when I move attributes to style I cannot see attributes and values exists in a style - I want to read items declared in style but I have only styleID in defStyle parameter. Is there some way to read style Items using styleID?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've developed a fairly extensive application. The problem began when I started programming...my spinners are the solid gray rectangular style (unlike the newer style with the triangle in the lower right corner). When I started developing this app several months ago, I couldn't figure out why my spinners were different (after many hours) so I just ignored it. I'm at the point now of polishing my program and want the newer spinner style. So, I'm beating my head against the wall again. I went to my Android SDK Mananger in Eclipse and updated my Android SDK Tools, Platform-tools, and Build-tools. I have the lastest versions of all of these (22.3 and 19.0.1). When I create a new project, the newer spinner style appears. However, none of my older projects changed. They still have the same old gray, rectangular type spinners. I tried using a "android format" line command I found while Googling, but no luck with that either.I'm using ADT Bundle with build v22.2.1-833290 on a Mac OSX Mavericks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?
For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI tried it and it works so far.
Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am quite impressed by the workflow I follow when developing Android applications: Define a layout in an xml file and then write all the code in a code-behind style. Is there an equivalent style for the web? I mean, with a predefined list of widgets that can be defined using a markup language and then control them using code? I have come across Google's Web Toolkit that does something like this but I'd like to hear what other's think as well.

I finally decided to use styles and themes instead of tediously setting attributes for each individual view. I was able to get the style to work when I set it on android:textAppearance, but when I try to just set it right on the style attribute like below, it no longer applies.This is happening to me for Buttons as well as TextViews. What I want is to be able to have a few different styles for text views and buttons and then just set the style on each button or text view.The style will need to define textSize, textColor, background and maybe a few others.Since background and some other things are not textAppearance,I need to use the general style attribute.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to apply common style to different textview that can be either defined in a layout xml file or programmatically and that does not seem to work for some attributes: My style in styles.xml is:
<style name="ListName"> <item name="android:colorForeground">#f0f</item> <item name="android:padding">4sp</item> <item name="android:textSize">30sp</item> <item name="android:textColor">#CCC</item> <item name="android:gravity">left</item> <item name="android:typeface">serif</item> <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item> <item name="android:colorBackground">#999</item> </style>
In my layout xml i have <TextView style="@style/ListName" ...></ TextView> and in my activity java class i have: TextView nametv = new TextView(this,null,R.style.ListName); However some parameters does not seem to work very well: - textStyle to bolditalic does not seems to be recognized - textColor/colorForeground/colorBackground does not work at all. I have been through the documentation, but could not find precise reference documentation for that attributes, nor sample for the color setting.
I have seen and own several ones with the look but cannot find a single one that actually flips. Was there ever one that did before HTC became all anal about it. Is not like they really invented this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI create my own widget with its own drawable for background.
So in my styles.xml file, I have this: <resources> <style name="MyWidget"> <item name="android:background">@drawable/btn_mywidget_bg</item> </style> </resources>
In my main.xml, if i specified my 'style' attribute, my background drawable was displayed correctly. <test.MyWidget android:id="@+id/mywidget" style="@style/MyWidget" />
but if I just do this: <test.MyWidget android:id="@+id/mywidget" /> , the background drawable is not display correctly.

Is there a way to set a style for a View at runtime? I've seen this question a few times on the board here but no answers, so probably not:

iv.setStyle(R.style.myotherstyle);
Is it not possible to do something like this? We have to manually change everything in code instead?

View 12 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to use the old progress bar (from 1.5) in Donut?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this custom layout:
- LinearLayout
- FrameLayout
- ImageView
- TextView
This layout reacts to click events (using LinearLayout.setOnClickListener()) and is made focusable using android:focusable="true" in the layout XML file. This all works fine if you're using the touchscreen, but I'm thinking about users who don't use the touchscreen that much and prefer navigation keys or maybe even don't have a touchscreen. These users won't be able to see when that ViewGroup is focused (although it can be focused using the keyboard).
My question is: how can I make a change in that layout when it is focused (I need to change the android:background of the ImageView)? I suppose I could use LinearLayout.setOnFocusChangeListener(), but I'm thinking maybe there's a better way, using just XML files.
From the beginning the android app has black background, I want to make all these changes, How is that possible?
