Just got the HTC Hero from Sprint and so far am loving almost everything about it. One question that I hope someone can help me with:Is there a way to change the size of icon's text or label (or perhaps the text itself)? For example, I have a screen with several Google apps on it, but they look like this: "Google M..." (for Google Maps); "Google S..." (for Google Sky), etc. It would be great if I could just change this to "Maps" or "Sky."

I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words "Light Racer" directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: Code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Android app with 3 tabs in a TabHost (text labels, no images). I set up the tabs like so:
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AnnouncementsActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("news").setIndicator("News").setContent(intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);
I start up a background thread to fetch announcements from my server and I want to update the text label on the tab to tell the user how many new announcements there are. For example, I want to change the text on the Tab to "News (3)". How can I access and change the text label on the tab?

I am having problems figuring out how to access text settings for an item in a ListView. I setup a basic ListView in my layout: xml:<ListViewandroid:id="@android:id/list"android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_x="1px"
android:layout_y="161px"android:visibility="visible"></ListView>My ListAdapter is a SimpleAdapter with a hashmap of values displayed in my ListView.
I have an onListItemClick method in my ListActivity which captures and properly identifies the item selected in my ListView. What I am trying to do is change the text color or font of the item that is selected in the method, onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id). Is there a way to access and change the text font and color using the ListView or View object from this method? I traversed the methods of each class and can't seem to find one that allows for that functionality.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an application which has an listview. I'm currently creating the list item view dynamically from code (linearlayout, which includes 2 textviews and 1 imageview), but i'd like to use an XML resource for this. I read it is resource intensive when getting this view using findViewById within a loop. I thought of using a custom adapter for this, but am not sure on how to include lazy loading of the image then.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a list .. the elements of the list are drawn from sqlite database .. I populate the list using ArrayList and ArrayAdapter ...upon clicking the items on the list I want to be able to fire an intent containing info about the item clicked ... info like the index number of the item .. using the method : onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int index, long arg)
I do get index of the item clicked . however it is of the list currently displayed . the problem comes when I do setFilterTextEnabled(true) , and on the app type in some text to to search some item ..and then click it ..rather than giving me the index of the item on the original list it gives me the index on filtered list..
following is the snippet of code:
myListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View v, int index, long arg) {
Intent lyricsViewIntent = new Intent(iginga.this, LyricsPage.class);
lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("title", songList.get((int)arg).getTitle());
lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("id", songList.get((int)arg).getSongId());
startActivity(lyricsViewIntent);
}
});
myListView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
Is there any way I can get the original index /position of the item instead of the one showing in filtered text ...when filtered.
I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.

A quick search didn't turn up anything about this so I thought I'd let you all know.Android Zoom (to whom I'm not affiliated) is a great way to search for apps outside of the apps marketplace. Unlike the native web site, you can search it.

In iPhone, they have got an option of creating such a list which gives them ability to jump to a particular character. see the pic attached

Do we have any such thing in Android?
I can setTextFilterEnabled(true) but that requires the keyboard to be present, while perhaps there now way to implicitly show keyboard on the device as we have in the emulator.
I have tried setFastScrollEnabled(true) it is good, but doesn't let you jump to a particular character.
