View 2 RepliesIs it possible to add a little bit of space between a RadioButton and the label while still using Android's built-in components? By default the text looks a little scrunched.
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/rb1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Text"/>
I've tried a couple of things:
Specifying margin and padding seem to add space around the entire element (button and text, together). That makes sense, but doesn't do what I need.
Creating a custom drawable via XML specifying images for the checked and unchecked states, then adding a few extra pixels to the right side of each image. This should work, but now you are stepping outside the default UI. (Not the end of the world, but not ideal)
Add extra whitespace to the beginning of each label. Android seems to trim a leading space character, as in " My String", but specifying unicode U+00A0, as in "u00A0My String" does the trick. This works, but it seems kinda dirty.
Any better solutions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create a ListView with a RadioButton in every row. I'm using a CursorAdapter and I'm binding it in the right way, but I cannot manage correctly the RadioButton. I want that at any moment only one RadioButton to be checked (so when I check one, I would like the one that was checked before to uncheck). Furthermore, when I put the RadioButton on the row, I cannot manage anymore the setOnItemClickListener.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two activities or "screens".
The second activity has an AlertDialogBox with radiobuttons for selecting a single option.
I want that after an option has been selected from the second activity's DialogBox, it should be displayed on the first activity screen in a text-view.
That is, suppose the user chooses "Green" from the dialogbox in the second activity, then "Green" should be displayed on the first activity screen.

I have a RadioGroup inside of a RelativeLayout. I've got a few RadioButtons for different options, like "Bob", "Joe", and "Fred". However, I need to add an "Other..." option with an EditText right next to a RadioButton in case a user wants to enter "Steve". Is there a way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I set a radio button to be selected on the first time, it works fine. But if I unselect it by calling
((RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.ID)).setChecked(false);
then, later even if I try to make it selected by calling setChecked(true) will not work unless the user select it from the screen.
Have any one come across this? or is it only me?code...
If the else part is executed atleast once then everything gets mess up.
When I step thro my debugger, I can see the execution goes in the correct path and setting it to true. It is getting executed only once, I checked that. And I am not resetting it back to false in any other part of the code.
I want to implement RadioButton and EditText inside a row of a ListView. I am using an ArrayAdapter to populate the List.

The text getting removed when I scroll up.

Android:background doesn't seem to be the right property, the radio button image gets stretched and placed in the background of the radio button itself and its label.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView, which is in singleChoice mode. All I want is to display a RadioButton to the side, that when clicked highlights to say it is selected, and when a different one is clicked that one goes back to unselected and the new one becomes selected. Why is this so hard? This should not be this complicated. I've spent DAYS looking for an appropriate answer to this and I have found nothing, so I'm asking hopefully in a clear and concise manner.
My layout for the listview (R.layout.view_orders):
CODE:.............
My custom row (R.layout.orders_row):
CODE:.................
My onCreate() method:
CODE:.................
Now everything underlying works as expected, you click on a radiobutton and through it's tag I can appropriately select that item from the list and manipulate it how I want. However, when the first radio button is clicked, the last one will be selected. Click that same radio button again, and it is now selected as well. Click it once more and nothing happens, both the last and the first are selected. Now I click any other one on the list, it gets selected like expected. Click anyone of the selected radio buttons and nothing happens, the radio button remains selected.
I have tried using the following in onCreate():
CODE:.................
And that just shows no radio buttons at all. AWESOME.
Now maybe (read: most likely), I'm just dense and can't figure this out, but I've seen this question asked a lot with no real answer. Lots of references to other tutorials or to the Commonsware guy's book. However, the comments are old now and his repository has changed so much, that those are no longer correct answers.
So, does anyone have any idea how to get the expected functionality out of this? Or failing that, just pass me along the GMail app's source code.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBattery Left was the first thing I installed on my phone when I got it. My battery life has been terrible so I've been trying to track down the problem. I woke up today, unplugged my phone and didn't touch it for an hour. Battery Left says I have 70 percent left but the battery meter in the status bar showed full. I uninstalled battery left and installed Battstatt and it shows 90 percent (2 hours later). Anyone else have problems with battery left? I hope this fixes my battery problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny one can share the mainfest.xml. How to set it? then can remove the label..?
I want to give my application launcher icon (the one that is displayed on the startscreen!) a different, shorter caption. It seems the launcher takes its label from the mainfest section about the main activity's label, as here:
<activity android:name="MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_short_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
I already changed the original reference to my app's name @string/app_name to a different, shorter string resource here. BUT - big BUT: this also of course changes this activity's default title! And I did not want that to happen, there's enough space for a long application name! Setting the long title again in onCreate using the setTitle(int) method does no good either, because the short name will be visible to the user for a short time, but long enough to notice!
And - please don't answer my question by refering to a custom titlebar... I do not want to go that long way, just because of a stupid string title! It's a pain to draw a custom title bar for so little effect! Is there no easy way to just give the launcher a different string to display?
