Android :: Way To Apply Different Style To Button When Pressed?
Sep 16, 2010Is there a way to apply a style to a button when the button is pressed?

Is there a way to apply a style to a button when the button is pressed?
I created button with some shadow using a style:
<style name="test">
<item name="android:shadowColor">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
</style>
This applies a white shadow on the button's text in its normal state. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to remove this shadow when the button is a pressed state. In other words, is there a way to apply another style when the button is in another (pressed) state?
I have a style applied to my whole application:... I'm sorry if I just used the false name in the ApplicationStyle - Item, but I have no clue where to look for the object names and simply assumed, that android:button applies to all buttons.

I'm theming my app right now and I'd like to have it so that every instance of title gets a specific style applied. Is this possible? I don't want to use a default text style because normal text will have a different size, etc.

My app is a media player and ideally, I could register it somewhere so that if no app that uses the headset button has focus it button press would act as a play/pause command in my app. If the phone is ringing or a call is in progress, I'd like to be sensitive to that and let the button do what it normally does: pickup and hang up calls. we've been trying to chase the button down using this: Intent Filter headset Filter = new Intent Filter (Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG); headset Filter.addAction ("android.intent.action.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED"); headset Filter.addAction ("android.bluetooth.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED"); headsetFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED");

But, I am having some custom buttons for which I want it to be close to the default image used for pressed state.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have an app widget that has a couple of buttons on it, and in my onUpdate() call, I am hooking up the buttons to do something when you press them
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName (), R.layout.appwidget); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button1, button1PendingIntent); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Button2, button2PendingIntent);
The problem is that when I click on button2, it sends the button1 pending intent. i think that's because it's reusing the pending intent. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. "If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a PendingIntent representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus call cancel() to remove it." So then the question is, how do I communicate which button was pressed?
I need to know, how to recognize, which button is pressed. Like if i have two buttons ,say button 1 and button2,and both of them performing the same method, say method(),how to determine which button pressed?

In an activity, how do detect the fact that the user pressed the home button?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an activity that contains several user editable items (an EditText field, RatingBar, etc). I'd like to prompt the user if the back/home button is pressed and changes have been made that have not yet been saved. After reading through the android documentation, it seems like this piece of code should go in the onPause method. I've tried putting an AlertDialog in the onPause however the dialog gets shown and then immediately tears down because nothing is there to block the pause from completing.

Basically I have created a blackjack game (first using just java) and it falls under an infinite while loop (this is so that the deck data is kept and everything works well. So first it deals the cards and then it needs to wait for either the hit button (which is displayed) or the stand button (which is displayed) to be clicked. I initially did this with a while loop that would keep checking if buttons were hit (basically when a button was hit, a static int would change and stuff would occur). However this just causes the droid to freeze up (thus far anyway) and also not refresh. So please someone tell me there is some way I can have my method pause until a button is pressed? I also need to know the proper way to use invalidate() so that my textviews, pictureviews and such can be updated as the methods change them.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an xml page with 3 buttons on all leading to similar xml files. However, the second and third buttons only respond if the first has been pressed (and then you go back a page and press another). If I reverse the order of the buttons in the java file, which ever button is listed first is the one that has to be used befor the others.
Here is my java for the buttons:
package converter.units.kitchen;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
[Code]....
the rest of the app has no errors and functions correctly.
I have noticed while working in the emulator that whenever i get out of my app via any method other than pressing the back button, my toggle button (if pressed) will have its state saved and return to that state when i return to the app. im guessing its because its value gets saved in a bundle and reloaded when i return. when i leave the app via the back button, this does not happen and the toggle is always off when i return. is there any way to get the value of the toggle back if the user leaves via the back button, without having to save the value in a db table? alternatively, if my apps notification is in the status bar, i can be confident that the toggle should always be selected, so if there is no way to save the state, is there a way to find out if my apps notification is currently being displayed? then it would be easy to just set the toggle each time via a quick check of the status bar.

Anyway to the point, I have a simple button, I know how to "link" a raw sound file to hand make it play. BUT what i want to do is maybe link a 3 second sound to the button and just have it loop while the user holds the button, and then stops playing when the button is let go. Anyone have any example links they could share that would be great!
