Android :: Setting Application - Wide Themes
Feb 22, 2010I have created several files in a res/values/styles.xml file.
Here's one of them:
CODE:..............
I can apply the style to a single element in the xml by setting the style element like this:
CODE:.................
So, that works, and I notice that change. But what I really want to do is use the style above to apply to my entire application. I thought I'd be able to use this line:
this.getApplicationContext().setTheme(R.style.BlueOnWhite);
Before the super.onCreate of the first activity. But it doesn't work. Should it?
Android :: Applying Theme Over Application Wide
Mar 7, 2010I want to apply theme over setting application wide. So I implemented below code but there was no effect.
1. AndroidMenifest.xml
<application android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_settings" android:theme="@android:style/Widget.ListView" android:taskAffinity=""> -> added Widget.ListView style provided in android system and I changed style.xml file like below
2. FrameWork/base/core/res/res/values/styles.xml

After change: <style name="Widget.ListView" parent="Widget.AbsListView"> <item.................................
Android :: Scroll Infinitely Wide View?
Oct 17, 2009I am pondering the alternatives on how to scroll an "infinite", scale-like, control in android. The simple idea is to redraw the entire view on each scroll movement, but somehow it doesn't seem like the proper way. It is possible to draw the contents before-hand, but I have no clue how wide I should make the view in the first place, and what happens when the user scrolls to the end of the view? I guess I need to extend the view towards that direction. Should I go towards programatically adding (and removing) chunks of view to a linear layout? It would be great to hear what experiences are out there regarding drawing this kind of long-scrolling custom control.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Application-wide Resources / How To Achieve?
Sep 17, 2010So I'm struggling a bit with what is probably a fairly basic concept.. Activity Lifecycle.I have read a bunch of thread on the topic, and I feel I understand well both the functionality, and rationale behind the lifecycle model implemented for Activities, but it raises a bit of a problem for me. My app (game) has a couple of distinct Activities for various sections:
1. The TitleActivity is a very small Activity that just launches a GLSurfaceView and renders a startup logo.I use this to detect the OpenGL capabilities of the device (eg so I know if it's using a software renderer)
2. The LaunchActivity is the main menu screen where the user can access options etc and start a game
3. The GameActivity will either launches a GLSurfaceView or a standard View depending on hardware capabilties.
The issue I am having is that I want to pre-load some "slow-to-load" resources, specifically audio, in the Title Activity so when the Launch Activity renders I can play some background music.I have the concept of a "media library" which I use throughout the game.Because of memory limitations in the SoundPool, I have limited this to only absolute real-time sounds and all others are played using mulitple instances of MediaPlayer.Hence my media library has a bunch of pre-loaded MediaPlayer instances which I access regularly during game play.. so it makes sense to have a centralized access point for all audio.All fine, however the problem is that when I launch one activity from another.. for example the TitleActivity starts the LaunchActivity (via a call to startActivity(Intent...)), the former goes through the onDestroy stage of its lifecycle.Now logically I had assumed that if I allocate a bunch of resources in the onCreate of an Activity, I should clean them up in the onDestroy, however in the case of my "media library" if I load up the audio files in the onCreate of my TitleActivity they will be torn down when the LaunchActivity is started because the TitleActivity will have its onDestroy() method called.
Android :: Webview Displaying 100% Wide Pages
Mar 25, 2010I am working on an app that uses webview for a help section.The help section is loaded from an external site, that is specifically designed for mobile phones.There are a series of 5 pages, with a simple next/ back navigation.When the first page loads, it loads perfectly, filling the entire area of the screen.When you click next, the page is now smaller with a large white gap around it (right and bottom), when I click back to the first page, this page now is displaying the same way (gap around it).I have tried setting body/table/container divs to 100% wide, and this continues to happen.However it works perfectly on any desktop browser.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Exclude Some Parts Of UI From An Application Wide Theme?
Jun 28, 2010I have a theme in my app that defines a custom color for the background. This is the green you see above the tabwidget. In some of my Activities I'm using a Tabhost for my Layout. Now I get something like this as a result: My tabwidget has a black background and I'm happy with that, but the icons in the tabwidget are transparent and this leads to them showing the green background defined in my style. How can I define the tabhost as not styled and have the transparent icons show the tabwidget the resion on instead of a solid background color?

So for example, if the user swiped up and then down, a certain application would be launched regardless of where the user is.

May 31, 2010If I customize all of my alerts for SMS, email, calls, etc., to sounds (no vibrate), and put the phone in vibrate mode, does it replace all of these sounds with vibration? So that there is no sound coming out of the phone? Same with if I put the phone on silent? I would hope you don't have to go in and change the notification settings for each application to vibrate if you want vibrate, right?I've read some stuff that suggested that this could happen, and it doesn't make sense, but I wanted to make sure.

Samsung Vibrant :: Macro And Wide Angle Lens Attachment
Aug 20, 2010Has anyone tried using the EVO 4G lens on their Galaxy S?
Macro Lens Attachment
It was mentioned that the diameter of the lens is 13 mm, which is about the diagonal length of the little square on our Galaxy S/Vibrant. (Captivate has a round lens, so you guys should be able to glue on the metal ring easily) So we might have a bit of problem attaching the metal ring that comes with the macro lens. I really do want a wide angle lens for my phone though. I can think of plenty of use for it. (I know about the DVD lens DIY, but I don't happen to have a old DVD-rom lying around at the moment.)

View 13 Replies View RelatedMotorola Droid X :: APP - ROOT - Keyboard - Keyboard Manager - Dual Keyboard - Portrait - Landscape Switch
Nov 10, 2010I 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.
