I'm looking to prevent the default behavior of going full screen when controls like EditText receive focus in an application. The InputMethodManager class does indeed have a setFullscreen() method available, but it seems to have been hidden on purpose in the SDK. Is there any other way to disable this behavior while still using the software keyboard?

I'd like to disable the feature of virtual keyboard of 2 spaces gives a period.
I noticed that configurations for the hardware keyboard have this option.

I'm looking around and trying to find out where sleep behavior is documented - and I mean in the general sense.
When the phone is left alone: * Sometimes the phone screen dims and doesn't shut off. * Sometimes the phone screen goes dark in five seconds * Sometimes the menu lock happens. * Sometimes the menu lock doesn't happen. * Sometimes the only way to darken the screen is to push the power button.
What's not clear is what triggers these different states. I'm looking for a complete list I can use in testing and application validation.
I wrote a home screen widget with one image on it. When the image is clicked, browser will be opened for a url link.
Generally, it is working. But a weird thing is that, when I click background, then click the picture, the browser will not be open. Until I click the second time on the picture, the browser opens. The steps to reproduce is below:
Click on the home screen widget background.
Click on the image on the home screen. The browser is not opened.
Click on the image again. The browser is opened.
If I didn't click on the background, the image will react to click very well, i.e. browser will be open when the image is clicked the first time.
The widget XML file is as below:

How to either replace the in call screen or put something on top of it....the only solution I have found thus far is to make my own ROM, which doesn't make sense for such a small portion of an OS. however I found these two apps (Full Screen Caller Pictures and Full Screen Caller ID) that are able to put a contact image and button on top of the standard in call screen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedNeed some help with phone locking behavior, good peoples. here's what i'd like to end up with:
1. always wake based on volume OR power button
2. when on phone - no locking at all, (additionally wake based on orientation like is done currently)
3. some sort of "lock phone" widget on home screen for manual lock
4. auto-lock timer set to say...5 minutes (longer than sleep timer)
5. sleep/screen-off timer set to 30 seconds
6. disable the slide lock (sense UI?) and only use the pattern lock. why do i have to power button wake, slide unlock, then pattern unlock my phone after it goes to sleep after 30 seconds, it's ridiculous! i want to pick it up press a volume key and put my pattern in - after 5 minutes. before 5 minutes i want to just pick it up and wake it unless it was manually locked.
I'll root it if that's what it takes. this is pissing me off daily.
I activated an almost new Epic this weekend, and it has been amazing so far.I only noticed one strange erratic occurence - when I put the phone to standby, and went to look at it a little while later, the screen was already on.I clicked on home, and as soon as I did that, it would somehow activate the google search widget, and bring up the keyboard as if you pressed the search widget. I'd press home, and it would do the same thing again. It kept repeating it over and over no matter what I did.I finally powered the phone off, and then turned it back on.After that, there were no further issues. Anyone else had anything like this happen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just discovered this issue - it may be only relevant to 2.1 since I upgraded (or to something else entirely) but when my Eris is plugged in and I use it the Home Screen seems to act crazy - well not that crazy - just that with motion the Homes Screens roll "left( that is to the left most screen) almost like I am using the track ball (but only in one direction) - unplug it and it works fine - its not a major issue but a wierd one - anyone else notice this behavior.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs it a good practice to develop an app that uses the full screen?
It is not a game, full screen would be just nice to have more space on the screen for GUI elements.
But I have the dim feeling, that a full screen app could break some recommandations for good app design. The developer guide gives no answer to this. Who knows more? I'm learning how to develop on android and it is very important for me to learn it right.
I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen.What happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible for just a moment when the activity starts up. Then they slide off, leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen.It appears that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off.If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works correctly and nothing gets cut off. But then I have a title bar or notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI hate to bother you all again, as this is probably me, a newbie, making some big blunder, but I'm baffled as to why my mapview only takes up a fraction of the screen. I've been following tutorials.
My layout:
CODE:.................
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal mode (wide, not very tall). The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
Tried to search for this one but the search terms I used didn't seem to find worthwhile results. I'm creating an application to run on a device with a 800x480 resolution (the archos 5) so I've created an AVD in the emulator with that resolution. However, when I run my program in the emulator it simply shows the program with the default android size, centered in the 800x480 window. It is not stretched to cover the whole screen. How can I fix this? I'm using Android 2.1.

In landscape mode, the soft keyboard(IME-input method editor) is showing full screen and displaying the plain text. But my editText is a password field. So how can I show dots instead of the actual characters when the IME is in full screen. This happens in landscape mode, in portrait, its working fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere in the Android documentation that (paraphrasing here): 'if you do make your own View take up the whole screen, it is then possible/even-advisable, to insert and manage the 'status-bar' within your View'. How do you do that? - i.e. insert the status-bar within ones own 'full- screen' View?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple app that is mostly native-code OpenGL with about a page of Java to interface to it. On my new Galaxy Tab, it creates a window that is about 480x800 pixels, while on other devices (including an AC100 with a larger screen) it fills the whole screen.
Searching the web, it seems that this affects many existing apps when they are run on this device, and there is plenty of end-user advice about how to make apps fill the screen. But I've failed to find any advice about how I should do it from within the app.
My current Java code is not much more than this:
CODE:.................................
At first, I thought it was just a problem with my code, but I've since discovered that this problem applies even to the default, unmodified app templates I can choose from when creating a project in Eclipse. Every app only takes up a fraction of the screen. Here's my layout for an example, but again, it affects all of them:
CODE:.....
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal or vertical mode. The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
I've tried a variety of things. I switched to a linearlayout, as one page I saw recommended. I tried spelling out absolute layout widths. I tried all sorts of stuff. The map stubbornly remains surrounded by black on all sides. One thing I noticed was that when I specified widths and heights that were really large, way bigger than the screen, the map showed up as pure white instead of as a map. But it still had the black all around the map as described above. The title bar likewise is truncated by the black bars on either side and only takes up 1/3 of the width, whether in landscape or portrait mode.
The apps that come by default on the emulator take up the fullscreen, but everything I install from Eclipse does not.
I have an Android TextView where the view itself is limited to four lines.If the text exceeds this limit I want the end of the view to end with something like.<-- to notify that there is more text here so you can click and open in full screen for example.Not just suddenly stop in the middle of a sentence. Is there a quick fix for this?
