Android :: XML Syntax For Strings?
Oct 8, 2010
In my XML values strings code, I have a string with some text that I want to have only a few of the words in color. I also want to have a new line for some of the text.
I can do things like: < b> my bold text < /b> and that works (leading space added for this post).
I try to tag the text with color but no color shows up and there are no errors.
CODE:.............
I also try adding a new line - I've tried things like:
< LF> some text, space at beginning only for this post < /LF>
< CR> this didn't work either < /CR>
< p> some text, space at beginning only for this post < p>
But, no new paragraph / new line, carriage rtn happens.

Dear all, I'm making a simple file decoder for Android 2.2 that needs to find the filename of the encoded file from a header. This filename should then be used as the filename for the decoded file (as you would expect).The filename is identified by the substring name=, so the actual name starts 5 places after that. The line is read by a BufferedReader and temporarily stored in currLine.For some reason I can't understand nor find on the web, Strings do not always seem to be Strings.Gives no output file, nor an IO exception. The string is parsed properly though: from the System.out debugging lines.

I've got a map of about 500 entries. Strings are all very short (less than 5 chars).Its read-only data I want to read once at app-startup. What's the best way to store this so that loading this data is fast?I've tried storing the data in a CSV in res/raw but this takes about 700ms to parse on my N1, so I'm hoping there's a faster way.

Is it possible to reference other strings inside of strings.xml ?
Something of the form...
(If it did exist, there would of course be problems of circular, infinite definitions, etc. to beware of).

by which the resource "bar" becomes an alias for the resource named "foo".What I would for my app is a possibility to combine an existing resource prefix with different suffixes,where the resource "bar" would yield the string "foobar". Its clear that '+' doesn't work here but is there some other option to achieve such a string concatenation, so that one could define a bunch of string resources that have a common prefix?I realize of course that I could do such resource string concatenation at runtime but defining them statically in the resources would seem so much more elegant and simpler.

This page in the Android documentation defines an element id as follows:
CODE:......
However this page defines it as:
CODE:..........
I thought I had a decent understanding of what was going on until I saw this second example. In the first case, you need the + character so that id 'label' is added to the R file, correct? In the second case, would the EditText's id not be added to the R file because it does not contain the + character?
Also, the second example does not include the android namespace on the id. Does having or not having the Android namespace affect whether that id will be added to the R file?

Where is there information about the syntax of <shape> xml files. These can be used to define 2D graphics as I understand it. There are few spotty examples in the samples directory but that is all I have found.

I need to display a single list, ordered by date which contains different types of data, images, video and whatnot.
I guess you could have one separate table for each type and the use something like FULL OUTER JOIN (simulated as sqlite doesn't support it) and sort on date. But this would be complicated because I still need to have unique IDs across all tables.
Maybe having a master list which has ID and date, and then JOIN in the types tables? But how bad is the performance of this using sqlite? I really like to avoid having a super table which contains columns all the combined types could ever need.

How to make custom AVD skins by editing the layout file and associated .png files in the android-sdk-windowsplatformsandroid-nnnskins folders. The syntax of the layout file is simple and pretty self-explanatory but I'm curious about it ...
Is it meant to be hand-edited or is it generated from some tool or utility I should be using?
Any idea why they used this curly-brace syntax instead of something standard like XML?

I want to build an notepad-style application on android that will have syntax highlighting. But when I search around the web, I find the syntax highlighting can be done only through use of an awt class. How could I syntax highlight in maybe a custom EditText or TextView view? I know that the release of a syntax highlighter is sort of anticipated, so I want to add my syntax highlighter on the market.

I created a method and keep getting an error that I need to include a } at the end of my method. I put the } in and the error is still there! If I then delete that } the same error will pop up on a prior method; and that error wasn't there before. in other words, if i type the } on my most recent method then the error stays there and only there. if i delete it, it duplicates that error on my prior method.

Just getting started here. Working on an Android application, which needs to execute a google web search from within a ListView activity and display the results in that List View.
Such search would always be for the same "static" subject, such as "bowling alleys in Chicago...", so, the user will not be entering any search criteria. What is the proper way to accomplish this, please?

I've run into the following issue:
Say I have an Animal class, which is parcelable, and I have a Dog class and a Cat class, which are subclasses of Animal and also implement Parcelable.
Say I have a service with the following AIDL interface:
sendAnimals(List<Animal> animals);
Now I'm calling this remote interface from some client application, passing it a List containing Cats and Dogs. What happens now is that android calls the Cat's and the Dog's writeToParcel() methods at the client side, but at the server side, the Animal's CREATOR is used, which calls Animal's readFromParcel() method. So the right data is sent from the client, but the wrong unmarshalling code is executed at the server.
I have tried to put this in the AIDL file:
sendAnimals(List<T extends Animal> animals);
This results in a syntax error from the aidl compiler though.
My current workaround is as follows: - In each specific Animal subtype's writeToParcel() method, I write the class name as a String into the Parcel as the first element. - In the Animal's CREATOR.createFromParcel() I read the first String out of the parcel, and based on that I create the appropriate type and call the appropriate readFromParcel() method.
I think this is kind of ugly though. I would expect the android framework to take care of this for me.
(My application is not actually dealing with animals, this is just to make it simpler to explain the issue)

Is it possible to have an external strings.xml or something like that?I'd like to translate my application into several different languages, but the apk would become to large if I include all languages.I would instead like to be able to load languages on demand (from an external URL) and store them on the SD card.Is that possible in any way? How could I in that case use the new language?

I am trying to create a information based application, I have 92 subjects, for these subjects I have 92 map locations and maybe as much as 400 url links. Currently I have created a class for each map location and a class for each url link, but this would mean I would have in excess of 500 classes, so what I want to do is split the subjects in four catergories ie. listview of about 23 in four tabs which I have done and create a class that gets the url based on the selection the use makes and do the same for the map locations.Do I need to put these in a xml using the id method and how do you call individual entries, i.e. would I need 500 Android:id is there an easier way?
