In a typical Android project you have the res/drawable directories where you can put images but i have some special custom binary files.
where do I usually put them and can i access them via the R-class then?

I'm new to Java and android development. In my application I need data which is accessible for a few activities. I've read that a good solution is to use Application class for this. So I use it like this:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private String str;
public String getStr(){
return str;
}
public void setStr(String s){
str = s;
}
}
and I can access this variable from activity like this:........................................
I'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?
I had write two classes IntentA and IntentB in my application (Both are in same package and both extends Activity class). In IntentA class I had created one button on pressing that button controll is trsnfer to IntentB class. IntentB class also contain Button on pressing that control is transfer to IntentA class.
This work fines. Now I want to set value in IntentA class using putExtra method and access that value in IntentB class How should I do that? I had put value in class IntentA like
Intent i1 = new Intent(this,IntentB.class);
i1.putExtra("Intent Name", "IntentA");
startActivity(i1);
Now I don't know How to access "Intent Name" value in IntentB class.
I get an apk file from somewhere. I tried to install it the emulator successfully. (The emulator is built from the latest code in AOSP which should be cupcake or later). But I can't launch the application from the GUI. It complains "The application xxx has stopped unexpectedly." After checking the logcat, I find the message "access to class not allowed". It seems that that process is not allowed to instantiate the Activity class.
Since I can install the apk successfully, I am curious why I can't launch it as a user.
BTW, I tried two ways to install the app. 1) by copying it to /system/ app and rebuild the system.img 2) by using "adb install". Both getting the same error message.
I tried to extract the AndroidManifest.xml file from the apk. But it seems that the file is scrambled and can't read.
Can anyone tell me how to access context of a class which is not an activity?
View 10 Replies View RelatedCan a core class such as "AbsListView" access resources, such as xml files, and .png's, in a 3rd party app installed in the normal way (at the app level)?
I realize this is a change in framework code, and that is fine for my purposes. So, for example, if I know that I am going to install an app called "MyApp", could I go into frameworks/base/core/java/android/ widget/AbsListView.java and tell it to use an xml file and .png's that live in that app? Here is the line I would want to modify: setSelector(getResources().getDrawable( com.android.internal.R.drawable.list_selector_background));
So I'm defining a class that sets a Drawable attribute in an object. The problem is that I can't access the getResource().getDrawable(int resourceId) method unless I have some Context.
So what I did was to send to that class an activity instance (let's call it "act") and then I did:
act.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.whellchair)
but, when executing that line it throws a NullPointerException.
When idea how to accomplish this?

I have a imageView, editText and textView within a LinearLayout. I would like to animate the EditText onTouch, to make it twice as taller and display a softkeyboard so that users can type into it. I cannot figure out if I should write some custom logic in applyTransformation of animation class which extends android.view.animation.Animation class OR go with a viewSwitcher which switches to a different view with bigger EditText. I would like to have a smoother transition if possible.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have an app that has many activities and needs to have a way of maintaining state between these activities.
I use the Application class to do this, declaring my global variables and using getters and setters to interact with my activities.
I was hoping to place a few custom methods in there, so that when I want to do a common task like, for instance, display an error message, I can declare the method in my application class and call it from any activity that uses it
EscarApplication application = (EscarApplication) this.getApplication();
EscarApplication being the name of my application class above.
I have tried to include this method in my application class:
CODE:.....
In the hope that I can call this method from activity without having to redeclare it, but when I call it using something like below I get an null pointer exception:
Visit.this.application.showError("Update error", "An error has occurred while trying to communicate with the server");
Visit being the name of my current activity above.
Should this work, or can I only use getters and setters to change global vars in an Application Class.
EDIT Stack Trace:
CODE:...............
The dialog is declared as such in the application class:AlertDialog alertDialog;
Created in that same class:alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
And the method to call it in that class is as follows:
CODE:.............
And finally, it is called from an activity like so:
