Android :: Where To Set Color Of Pressed - Focused Tabs?
Jul 19, 2010
I created a small Tab-Layout. Now how can i specify the color of the TabWidget depending on its state (focused,pressed..) I built a new .xml, but i dont know how to set it to my Tabs:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <selector
android:id="@+id/tabSelector"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:background="#32CD32"/> <br />
<item

Is there a way I could get the color that is used when a button is pressed? I know that the button uses a default selector xml that consists of the pressed image. But, I am having some custom buttons for which I want it to be close to the default image used for pressed state.

I'm trying to detect the focus/pressed color for button and other elements. This is needed because I'm developing new components and it's important that those look as part of platform. Those colors are ORANGE on android sdk and GREEN on HTC SenseUI. If I could detect that color my component will look as part of platform on both version. Does anyone knows how to do this?
It's possible to create "selector" which uses custom image for default state and platform default for focus/selection. To do this follow the steps:...........................

I am switching activities on tab clicks and successful at this. But, in one of my Activity class I am doing the following:
CODE:.............
I want to change the background of this layout only and I want tabs to their as it is. But with the currentandroid:layout_height="fill_parent"in main.xml my background is overwriting the tabs which means I am unable to see tabs. and If I makeandroid:layout_height="wrap_content"` I cannot see any change taking and tabs are still their.

now that we have a beautiful custom battery icon (thanks again Kelmar!) I would like to try to do some more customizations. My Hero is SO close to what I like now, only need one more change to make it perfect. I'd like to figure out how to change all of the green highlighting to blue on the Hero. (Like on the ZenRom) Things like: when you press a button (say the call button, as an example) or icon or widget, and things like the progress bar in the browser... also things like the unread mail indicator, and the rating stars in the market...etc. Kelmar and I have been reading on XDA, and have tried many things, and we are getting nowhere. Everything seems to lead to a very long tedious process. It would seem to us that some of this might be able to be easily changed in one file, to make the change throughout the rom, but we could be wrong. We wonder if anyone here could help out with how to do this.

I'm using the agenda widget on my desire. On the example when choosing widgets it shows different color tabs on the entries. When I enter events I cannot see a way of changing the color from the standard sky blue I always get. Changing the color tab for business and personal etc etc would be very useful.

I have a problem and that is my SplashScreen I have. It is built as an intro and after 3 seconds it shows the main menu of the program. Anyway, if I press down Back or Home button during the time the SplashScreen shows, it closes, but the activity I have chosen to follow after the SplashScreen will still run after the three seconds.
My code: **UPDATED CODE**
Handler ur = new Handler();
myRun = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mainIntent = new Intent(SplashScreen.this,MyApp.class);
SplashScreen.this.startActivity(mainIntent);
SplashScreen.this.finish();..........................

I have, for the time being, a custom view with a 9-patch image as a border.
That custom view is placed three times in a LinearLayout, so it looks like this:
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
| CustomView |
+------------------------+
I have attached a click event listener to the View, so it is clickable. But then I click it, I cant see that I am clicking it - there is no change in color.
So, Im thought that I'd attach a "onPress" listener, and then change the background of the view but I couldnt find such a listener.
So, the question is - how do I create the behaviour on the View so I can see that it is being pressed? this is normally done in Android with a green background to indicate that it is now being pressed.

I'm currently working on my first android application. I am using a tabbed layout for my application. I followed the tutorial for this on the dev guide and ran into a problem. The tutorial only used three tabs, but I have a need for more. As such, the tabs resize and bunch up. I was hoping someone could tell me how I can make them scroll, like in dolphin browser when using multiple tabs.

I simply use the tabwidget :
CODE:..........
Why are my tabs so uggly in 2.0 (no more rounded corners as in 1.5/1.6) ?
ugly tabs here
=>
This was better
What should I do now to show "rounded corners" TABS to Nexus One (for exemple) users ;-) ?
Is it because of the following manifest lines :
CODE:................
I have to keep android:anyDensity="true" otherwise I've got a problem with re-sizing of the menus described here
As a separate question, my users can change the Locale within my app itself, I then "redraw" the menus using onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu) to refresh the strings within the menu with the new language choosen by the user. Is there an equivalent for TABS (I have local strings within the Title of the TABS) or do I have to delete all the tabs and re-create them from scratch ?

We're in the process of writing an app that has 4 tabs: Map, People, Places, Events. The People, Places, and Events in the App show up as Icons on the map. By default the People, Places, and Events tabs each show a listview, custom rendered, displaying all the People, Places, and Events respectively.
Now, right now each of the tabs has as its content an Intent set to launch the corresponding activity. For instance, there is a MapTabActivity that extends MapActivity, a ShowPeopleListActivity that shows the people, and so on and so forth.
I see a lot of StackOverflow questions/answers saying that due to various limitations in the way the TabHost is setup, it's best NOT to use activities as the content of tabs. For instance, it's impossible to launch a new activity and have it take the place of the existing activity within a tab, whereas it's possible to switch out a View with a different view.
Now, I'm at a crossroads. We've (for better or worse) devoted a fair amount of time trying to get this app to work the way it's currently structured, with the Activities as the content of the tabs. When an icon corresponding to a Person, Place, or Event is clicked, it fires off a VIEW Intent on a URI corresponding to that object; this is picked up by an Activity that then shows the object. The same mechanism is at work both in the Map and in the individual lists. We really like the loose coupling this provides us; we just give a VIEW command and the URI to the person/place/event and it automatically brings us to the right activity. Granted, the activity that's launched covers up the tab view rather than appearing inside of that, but we were willing to live with this.
Here's an issue though: from the Show activity, we want to be able to go back to the map, centered at that person, place, or event. We can launch a new activity to show the map again, but now we have the map activity as the content of the tab, plus the show activity, plus the new map activity in the activity stack; given how resource intensive the map activity is, I'm guessing this is not the ideal way to go.
I guess my question is, is there a GOOD tutorial somewhere showing exactly how to do complex tasks with a TabHost? I've seen HelloTabWidget; I'm looking for something much more sophisticated than this. I'm worried that if we switch to the View based way of doing things, we'll have to do a LOT of housekeeping to intercept all the back events, try to switch out the views, etc., etc., as well as strongly coupling our program in a way we don't want.

I have an Tab Activity with 4 tabs. Each of tab is showing me the list view. Suppose i m on 4th tab and dragged the list view to the last position and after that i click on 3rd tab and again when i go to 4th tab it is not refreshing and showing me the last visible screen. Actually i want to show the list view again from 1st element. is tabs refresh automatically or we need to do it programmatic?

I have this custom layout:
- LinearLayout
- FrameLayout
- ImageView
- TextView
This layout reacts to click events (using LinearLayout.setOnClickListener()) and is made focusable using android:focusable="true" in the layout XML file. This all works fine if you're using the touchscreen, but I'm thinking about users who don't use the touchscreen that much and prefer navigation keys or maybe even don't have a touchscreen. These users won't be able to see when that ViewGroup is focused (although it can be focused using the keyboard).
My question is: how can I make a change in that layout when it is focused (I need to change the android:background of the ImageView)? I suppose I could use LinearLayout.setOnFocusChangeListener(), but I'm thinking maybe there's a better way, using just XML files.

If I set my ImageView to be both clickable and focusable, it works, but I have no way to tell which image is focused. What's the best way to get it to draw an orange border around the view so the user knows it's currently in focus? I tried dropping it in a LinearLayout and setting that to be focusable and clickable instead, but didn't have any luck. Even when I put a margin on it, there's nothing to indicate that it was selected.

A good example of this is either on the Twitter launch screen (the screen with the large icons that is seen when the application is first launch) or even just look at the application tray when you focus an application icon.
Basically I need to highlight an ImageView where the highlight contours to the image within the ImageView and looks like it's a border to that image. I would also like to customize the highlight to have it be a certain color and for it to fade out.

My application opens in Activity A1. None of the views in A1 are focused at startup, until I use the arrow keys to navigate through the views. A button press in A1 launches activity A2. When A2 opens, the first Button in A2 is focused by default. I do not want this happen. What I want is when A2 opens, none of the buttons are focused until arrow keys are used to naviagte through them(just like it is in A1).

If I have a layout with lots of EditText views in a LinearLayout and the user focuses the third one down and flips out the keyboard to start typing, the entire layout is destroyed and recreated through the activity lifecycle. When everything is done, however, the third EditText is given focus again and the user never knows that anything happened and types away.
I am creating a similar layout, but due to the nature of my data, I have to dynamically create the list of EditTexts, mixed with some other views. The default layout has one EditText at the top, a ScrollView with a LinearLayout child (which will be filled with EditTexts later), and some action buttons at the bottom. I fill the LinearLayout with all the EditText fields I need (based on extras passed via intent).
This part works quite well, but the way the activty handles Runtime Configuration changes is broken now (from a UI perspective). Now if the user focuses the third EditText (which was dynamically created via new EditText()) and flips out the keyboard, the layout is destroyed and recreated, but focus is always given to the permanent EditText at the top of the screen.
Is there something I need to do when adding my dynamic views to make sure they can keep focus through orientation changes? is there a way I can work around the issue and force focus to be given to the last view that had it before the change?

I'm porting an application from iPhone to Android. The iPhone app has artwork for some dozen or more buttons in their normal and pressed state. That translated over just fine to Android. However, we of course currently don't have any images for the "focused" state.
Besides the work involved in creating all these focused button images, we're not sure exactly what color to set the focus too. Selection color varies from phone to phone, etc. We'd have to come up with some neutral "white glow" of some sort I suppose. Then the idea struck -- could we programmatically render a focus images for the buttons based on the current selection color? Have folks been doing anything like this in the Android dev community? Can you point me to some examples. A net search didn't turn up anything too useful, though perhaps I searched on the wrong keywords.

I have a TextView inside a LinearLayout. The LinearLayout is able to receive focus, and I want the textColor of the TextView to change when it does. I thought using a ColorStateList would work, but it would seem that the TextView does not receive focus when the LinearLayout does. I know that, because I have tried this code...
And nothing gets logged. I don't want to use an OnFocusChangeListener on the LinearLayout to change the textColor of the TextView, I think this has to be done from XML. The reason for that is because in another activity I have an ExpandableListView with a custom adapter and custom views and Android changes the textColors of the TextViews (from light to dark) inside my custom views when items are focused.

I have encountered a problem with focused text fields in a WebView not showing entered text values.As long as a WebView text field has focus it will not show text or even the blinking cursor.You can select and highlight the text or unfocus the field to see it, but when it gains focus it will not show the text as if the foreground color of the text is white.The simplest code to demonstrate this is below.With the setTheme using a Light background, try typing values into the Email text field to notice that the text is not visible when the field is focused.

I'm using ExpandableListView in my app and one of the complains is that when expanded it's hard to visually distinguish where the child item ends and next group item begins. So I would like to change background of the child list item to the different shade. Brutal attempts that I've made so far were based on directly changing background color and text of the elements inside the child view item but that leads to loss of hovers and highlights. So my question is - what is a good strategy to achieve the above? I tried styles and selectors but what really bums me out - that if I change one thing then I need to add selectors for all combinations of focus/enabled etc. when all I'm trying to do it to overwrite a single thing. Is there a way to inherit parent style and set just a background for non- focused, enabled child item?
