Say I have a list of Strings with the elements:
"One",
"Two",
"Three",
"Four"
I want to center them in the middle of the screen but I want to do it in a way that the start of each word is next to each other.
Like this:
One
Two
Three
Four
Considering that the font probably has different length per character, how do I do this best in Android?

Ive just started fooling around with programming my Motorola Droid. I'm programmatic ally laying out an interface such that the text contained in my Button is sized at layout time to fit the button.My questions are:
(1) I know the pixel size of the button, what is the best way to set the text size to fit the button size?
(2) I can't seem to get it to center.I've tried a Gravity of 11 and that helps, but ist still not right.How do I get my text to center itself properly horizontally and vertically in the button?
I recently downloaded a new theme for my X and whenever it is on the lock screen it shows the clock on the left side of the screen. Does anyone know of a program or how to get the clock centered?

I have an Android app that has both CursorAdapter based ListViews (backed by sqlite) as well as custom BaseAdapter based ListViews which are built on the fly from JSON pulled down from a server.
The data displayed in both is identical - an image and a couple of TextViews. My Cursor-based ListView has 3000 rows, the JSON-based ListView has about 30. However, scrolling down the list is significantly faster for the Cursor-based adapter. For the JSON-based lists, the data is all fetched before the rows are made visible. Images for both types of lists are downloaded on-demand.
I have both ListViews configured identically - both with fastScrollEnabled, scrollingCache and smoothScrollbar set to true.
I'm looking for leads on how to go about trying to figure out what's going on here and to potentially fix it so that the JSON-based ListViews as as fast as the Cursor-based ones.

I'm thinking it would greatly help with orientation changes for simple apps.
I was wondering if there is a way for placing a view to the right side of another view and centering it vertically on the second views height. In know this can be done using a LinearLayout, but for other reasons the 2 views must be part of the same RelativeLayout.

I'm running 240dpi on my n4 and I'd like to know how I would be able to center my google now launcher? If I turn it to landscape mode and i touch between home and recent apps, it'll launch google now. Even without using the shortcut. I would like to know how I can align these apps.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've spent so much time trying to figure this out. I'm building a dialog layout and trying to get the Title centered relative to the dialog while having 2 buttons on either side of the title. The buttons are to be 'gravity-ed' towards far left and far right.
The easy part is centering the dialog, OR doing the buttons far left and far right. It's getting them to play nice with each other on the same line.
Easy way to think about it:
Title is centered in dialog
2 Buttons are independently aligned left and right on the same line. Any thoughts on how to do this?
Is there a way to tell Android to do the following when setting the background image for a TextView?
1. Scale the image so that it's just large enough to fill the the entire viewing area without any black borders, while still maintaining its aspect ratio. This might require clipping once the image is actually displayed, but that's OK (read on).
2. Then, center the image in the viewing area, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Finally, clip the image to the size of the viewing area, without any further rescaling.
I'm guessing that this kind of image processing is not automatically done via any of Android's facilities, and that I'll have to do it myself. If this is a correct assumption, could someone point me to some documentation or some examples which could explain how I can accomplish this? I'm guessing that I'll have to subclass my TextView and implement my own onDraw() method, but could someone confirm or deny that assumption?
Is there a tread where they list a list of apps and what they do ,rather than brows the market?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to android development but I have run through various tutorials and am slowly grasping how to develop apps. I modified the Tab Layout tutorial on the android dev website to fit my needs, and now I need to add a list on to each tab I have created. there are a total of seven tabs and each will have it's on specific list. If someone could point me in the right direction to adding a list per tab that would be great. Each tab has it's own class file, would I add the list items as strings in the strings.xml then add code to each tab's class file in order to populate the tab? This was the only thing I have found so far, but it hasn't worked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 3 buttons, say LanguageButton, CountryButton and PinCodeButton. When LanguageButton is pressed, I must display a list of languages. Similarly for CountryButton a list of countries and so on. Only one list is to be displayed at a time.
My question is whether it is better to define a single ListView in my layout or 3 separate ListViews for each list in my layout!
I tried to use a single ListView and set corresponding adapters when different buttons are pressed, i.e in onClick() of languageButton, I give setAdapter(languageArray);
But my doubt arose in implementing the onItemClick() of the list. Because what must be done whenfirst item is clicked in languageList is different from what must be done in countryList. Hence that would add to more code in the java file.
So I am just wondering whether I should simplify my onItemClick() code by defining separate ListViews, or should I simplify my layout and add logic to code?
How to make lists look different than your everyday average black list or more graphically pleasing than you usually see in android apps. I've looked through google code but haven't found too many. I'm looking for different and eye catching lists. I hope this question isn't too generic. Also i'm open to anything, code, examples, blog posts, etc, you name it. I've really struggled with lists and making them look more snazzy. I'm talking more the code level not the graphics or icons used.

I wish to send a list containing objects from server to client and vice versa through httpurlconnection. Elaborating the same, the list contains a set of objects which is defined both in the server and the client. Its just that the server queries a database and sends the object to the client which collects the same and displays it to the user. Please let me know if thats possible and if it is, how would I be able to accomplish that.

In details, the problem is, when I start the application, the user get a screen with 2 buttons, one of them get the user to a new screen with stations list. But, my problem is, I can't put buttons and lists in the same class. I explain, to get a list on the screen, I have to put : "public class NextTrain extends ListActivity {" but the buttons function doesn't work (the app crashs). By the way, if I put "public class NextTrain extends Activity {" the buttons works but not the list (no crash, but the screen doesn't display anything).
