View 3 RepliesI am simple sudoku app. My main.xml has 81 EditText and 2 buttons as shown below.
CODE:................
In my activity class, I have grouped all these 81 EditTexts into one 2- dimensional array as shown below.
CODE:....................
Now when I try to do a simple getText() method on textArray[][], it gives me a runtime error but setText() method works fine on textArray[] [] textArray[i][j].getText().toString()
The code snippet below displays a Dialog with a simple login-form. The problem is that when the user hits the login-button, the text that was entered into the EditTexts are not returned on the getText()-call. However, if I set android:setText="foo" on the EditTexts in the xml-layout "foo" is returned on getText(). why the text entered at runtime won't stick?
CODE:..............
and the XML:

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason the empty view (TextView in this case) always appears, even when the List is not empty. I thought the ListView would automatically detect when to show the empty view.How can I hook up the empty view properly?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an AutoCompleteTextView with a MatrixCursor as an adapter. The AutoCompleteTextView has a OnItemClickListener as follows:
CODE:...............
When an item is selected I see following in the log
CODE:................
If you see the log, the Before log entry, the getText() returns a SpannableStringBuilder object and toString() of it returns some object identifier.
How do I get actual text of the auto-complete view which was there just before clicking drop-down item?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):

I am using an EditText. Is it possible to have a part of text uneditable and the rest editable in the same EditText?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

If I need to return my phone before the 30 days are up and they are out of stock, will they still honor the return policy and just call you when they have one available or will you have to stick with the phone that you have?

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?
Does anyone know if it's possible to show a "Currently have no items" type view in a ListActivity when, obviously, you have no items?

How can I empty the logcat buffer in Android? I use adb logcat from command line and pipe the output to a file, since the DDMS has a very limited buffer. At the moment, when I restart my app (after fixing bugs etc) the logcat buffer has data from the previous launch as well. Even uninstalling the app does not clear the buffer. The only way I've found so far to clear the buffer, is reboot. This is effective, but would like to know if there's an easier way.

I get an indexoutofbounds...I also get indexoutofbounds if I use set instead of add...orderedPlayers.set(2, P);
In fact the only way I can add P to the arraylist is if I use the 0 index...orderedPlayers.add(0, P);
And also for some strange reason when I do that my debugger in eclipse sees that element added to the 4th index of orderedPlayers instead of the 0th... is ArrayList buggy or am I completely missing something? how would I add to the middle of a null ArrayList?
I have a ListView that with alphabetical headers for each letter. I also have an index function that brings the letter headers to the top of the screen.
My problem is when I reach the end of the list setSelection is unable to bring the last few headers to the top because it will not scroll past the end of the list.
My question is this: Is there a way to add a blank space to the end of the screen dependent on screen size? I would like to scroll until the last item in the list is at the top of the listView.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Spinner whose items comes from an ArrayAdaper, and I want the Spinner to initially show that no item has been selected. When the user clicks on the Spinner it's DropDownView should display just those items available for selection.
I don't want to add an empty/blank item at the head of my list of items because that means that it shows as an avalaible selection in the DropDownView and looks pretty lame. And if a selection is made I want it to be a valid one.
I tried spinner#setSelection(-1); but that doesn't work. The first item remains selected.
I tried setting no Adapter initially (which provides the desired initial view) and had hoped to configure the appropriate adapter in the OnClickListener, but spinner#setOnClickListener throw a RuntimeException saying "You probably want to use #setOnItemClickListener instead". And trying to use #setOnItemClickListener throws a RuntimeException saying it is not valid for a Spinner.
Surely this is a common use case. How can I set the Spinner to initially show as empty?
