Just started writing java / android and I am trying to use android.widget.VideoView.
I set the video by using the setVideoPath('/path/filename') method, but can't seem to figure out how to get the path on an existing object?
I'm using methods such as 'getDuration()', and 'getCurrentPosition()' and they work great.. but where is a getPath method?

VideoView cannot play long path video issue: Bug#8699
enviroment: Platform 2.0 simulator and G2 H/W.
If setVideoPath("/data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/Transformers.mp4");
It can play well.
While, If setVideoPath("/data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/content/ Transformers.mp4");
It cannot play.
Btw: familiar things occured when I display the jpeg file
bit = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileName); mImgView.setImageBitmap(bit);
If the fileName is /data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/content/2.jpeg It cannot display
While, If the fileName is /data/data/com.abc.android.abcd/2.jpeg It display well.
I have an onActivityResult returning from an mediastore image selection which I can get a URI for an image using the following:
Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
Converting this to a string gives this:
content://media/external/images/media/47
Or to a path gives:
/external/images/media/47
However I can't seem to find a way to convert this into an absolute path, as I want to load the image into a bitmap without having to copy it somewhere. I know this can be done using the URI and content resolver but this seems to break on rebooting of the phone, I guess MediaStore doesn't keep its numbering the same between reboots.
Is there a way to read the points created when drawing a path? It seems silly to me that a path cannot be readable.Or is it just better to manually write the current finger position to an array?

Is there a way to access a raw resource file by having its filename in a String? According Google's documentation, I need to use "Resources.openRawResource (R.raw.myDataFile)". This requires that I have the file name at compile time, but what if I have 20 or so files and want to do something to a specific file by passing its file name at runtime?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'll notify something to user after 30 minutes for example. so I need to get a time which is not changable by user or anything. Does it call UTC? I guess I need to get current time and it should have nothing to do with user handle or location actually, I'm focusing '30minutes from now' rather than current time. It also should work even in case of power off and on. Can I use alarm manager for this?

I'm trying to get the absolute screen pixel coordinates of the top left corner of a view. However, all methods I can find such as getLeft() and getRight() don't work as they all seem to be relative to the parent of the view, thus giving me 0. What is the proper way to do this?
If it helps, this is for a 'put the picture back in order' game. I want the user to be able to draw a box to select multiple pieces. My assumption is that the easiest way to do that is to getRawX() and getRawY() from the MotionEvent and then compare those values against the top left corner of the layout holding the pieces. Knowing the size of the pieces, I can then determine how many pieces have been selected. I realise I can use getX() and getY() on the MotionEvent, but as that returns a relative position that makes determining which pieces were selected more difficult. (Not impossible, I know, but it seems unnecessarily complicated).
View.getLeft() and View.getTop() give the position of the view relative to the parent.
Is there a way to get the absolute screen position of that view?
Either a way to translate those coordinates into screen coordinates to make a call to get the position in screen coordinates.
I am trying to go widget-free, using Zeam launcher instead of LauncherPro which seems to randomly have issues for me, I'm just wondering what tips you all may have for getting the best performance possible from your phone.

Is it possible to set the absolute position of a view in android? (I know that there is an AbsoluteLayout, but it's deprecated...)
Lets say I have a screen 240x320px, and I want to put an ImageView which is 20x20px with its center at the position (100,100).
What do I have to do?
If you use an AbsoluteLayout (I know that it is deprecated, but it was the only way to solve my problem ) you can give the childViews the tag "android:layout_x" and "android:layout_y" to set their absolute position within the AbsoluteLayout.
However I dont want to set these informationen in the xml, because I only know them at runtime. So how can I set these parameters at runtime programmatically? I dont see any method on the View like view.setLayoutX(int x) or something.
Here is my XML, which works fine, when I set the layout_x and layout_y values. code...

A couple months ago i finally decided i needed to get a new phone because it seemed the camera on my old w810i was starting to **** out - it wouldn't focus very well and the camera button wouldn't snap a picture too reliably anymore. I figured it was probably because i had taken thousands and thousands of images over the time i had the phone since 2006 does anyone understand what I'm talking about and can tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix this in the x10?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a custom ViewGroup. The idea is to be able to place controls at absolute positions and then have the ViewGroup scale those controls based on the difference in the screen dimensions with respect to the original design dimensions. I am using the code below. In response to the 'onMeasure' message, I am storing the width and height of the view. Then on the 'onLayout' message I am computing new dimensions for the child controls and adjusting their sizes proportionally. This all works to some degree. However for certain controls (e.g. button controls), the control resizes, but the text inside does not remain centered within the control. I am thinking that there is some other call I need to make to update the child controls after I change their size.
