View 1 RepliesI want the ability to re-arrange Views in a LinearLayout, without specifying specific pixel locations, at runtime. for my proof of concept, I have a layout with 2 TextViews, one red, and one black. The red TextView is on the left. I want onClick to set it to be on the right, without adjusting margins, as if I'd re-written the XML of the layout, with the red TextView second.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi'm trying to know the database space available. In J2ME you have getSizeAvailable(), but there is no direct replacement in Android, so i thought about doing getMaximumSize() minus database size, the thing is i just can't find a way to know the db actual size, at runtime.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am developing an Android App which communicated with a server. User can select a language of his choice at startup or during the App execution lifetime. After selecting the language, the corresponding XML file is downloaded from server according to language which will map the "Values" of Application strings according to that language. Can I do something like replacing the default Strings.xml which contains English names(Say by default) to the language selected by user. Better will be adding an XML file per language and referring it runtime directly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWell, preventing an orientation change is easy. But what about doing it at run time.
Say, I have an activity which supports orientation change in normal situations. It has say three Edit Texts.
There's also a button, which when clicked would do some processing in a thread while showing a ProgressDialog which is not cancellable.
Ok, so till the user hits the Button, I want the activity to be able to adapt the orientation changes. I have two layouts files for each orientation with different layout schemes.
What I want is this. Once the user clicks on the button, and the ProgressDialog is showing, I don't want the activity now to be re- created again when the orientation changes. So, before showing the ProgressDialog, is there any way to tell the Activity not to handle Orientation change?
Also, once the process is complete, and the ProgressDialog is removed, I want the Activity again to be able to handle orientation changes.
For an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.
I want to add buttons dynamically exactly like in the following XML - but during runtime.
CODE:................
How can I archive this? I tried it with the following code to add a button, but I haven't found a function so far to set layout_x and layout_y. How can I do this?

i tried with a tablelayout and 3 tablerows, but i can't change width/height at runtime.
I have a webview and a table containing 4 buttons. I have set the height of the webview to 400px, so that the buttons are displayed at the bottom of the screen, in portrait mode. My problem is, when changed to landscape mode the buttons are not visible. So I need to change the height of the webview on runtime, when orientation is changed. Do anybody know how to achieve this? I am able to capture the orientation change, using 'onConfigurationChanged' function.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.
Here is the code:..............
Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):
So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):
As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.
Here are the results of the 3 codes: http://imgur.com/iVt8g.jpg
I have a card game I created in android and it is possible to show the scores at any given time by clicking a menu option. I would like that scores dialog to show a different background image when it's loaded depending on factors like who's leading, etc. In my constructor, I have the following relevant code:
public ScoresDialog(Context context) {
super(context);
this.setTitle(R.string.scoresDialogHeading);
setContentView(R.layout.scores_view);
...
}
I have tried getting that view to change it in the showDialog method i wrote like so: findViewById(R.layout.scores_view).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE); However, I got a NPE... I tried moving this statement to the onStart method, thinking that the view is not yet initialized but got the same error... Any thoughts on what the right way to do something like that is?
i have a list sprites in drawable folder. One xml file with:
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item android:drawable="@drawable/fire_00000" android:duration="400" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/fire_00001" android:duration="400" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/fire_00002" android:duration="400" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/fire_00003" android:duration="400" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/fire_00004" android:duration="400" /></animation-list>
i used AnimationDrawable to run sprites on ImageView, now. i want to set duration properties by hand, if i have a seekbar to change this. How can i do that?
I have a RelativeLayout that has two LinearLayouts in it. One is a bunch of TextViews and EditTexts that make up a form and the other is a ButtonBar that submits the form.
anyways, everything looks great in portrait, but when i switch to landscape mode the bottom TextView/EditText element is being hidden by the buttonbar.
screenshot to show the problem. as you can see some of the "email" textview and all of the email edit text are being hidden by button bar.

I am now working on changing android theme style at runtime,when the user select a theme resource,not only the current application,but also all the applications installed on the phone should be changed.For example,just like you change the system language in setting activity,then all the applications' language changed.I just can not figure out how android framework achieves this,anybody knows something about this?
While I tried to use PackageManager,just like this:
PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> apps = manager
.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
for (ApplicationInfo app : apps) {
app.theme=android.R.style.Theme_Light_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen;}
It won't work.Does the attribure "theme" in ApplicationInfo read-only?
1) I am developing my app in Eclipse 3.4.1 with Android (ver 1.1_r1) plugin. My app compiles and executes without errors when using the Eclipse IDE.
However, when I export my app (unsigned) using Eclipse (via {select project} >right-click>Android tools>export unsigned application package), sign it, and try to run it on the Emulator, it throws a runtime error when I try to update my sqlite database, at which time the specific error created is: SQLite error#14, unable to open database. It is able to read from the database without problems. (I have also verified that the database is: open, is not readonly, is not locked by another thread, is not in the middle of a transaction.)
I have limited experience, but this seems more like a "system" problem given that the app works OK in Eclipse IDE but then fails as an exported/signed apk. Some googling of SQLite resources revealed a similar error on a non-Android platform which was fixed by: "Set your permissions correctly on /var/tmp, or whatever directory you are using to hold temporary files".
Does Android have temporary files, and if so how does it handle permissions on temporary files? Is there a way to check or set these permissions to see if this fixes my problem here?
2) Not sure if it is related, but after I have run the exported/signed app which causes the runtime error, if I reboot the Emulator, and try to run the program using the Eclipse IDE , the program fails with the same exact error. PLUS I also noticed the following error message while the program is installing/running: 03-01 22:22:29.282: ERROR/PackageManager(53): Package com.northwestradiology has mismatched uid: 0 on disk, 10019 in settings; read messages:
I can restore the Eclipse version of my program to be able to execute without runtime errors by utilizing the -wipe-data option for the emulator. But note that if I run my signed APK using an emulator created with the -wipe-data option, it still throws the runtime error listed above...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a preference screen in in xml for my Android application. My issue is that some of the titles of the preferences are too long and will not wrap the page. Consider my example:
<CheckBoxPreference
android:title="Language Detection (BETA)"
android:defaultValue="false"
android:summary="Automatically decide which language to use"
android:textSize="15px"
android:lines="4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Maybe I'm missing something but I have tried using number of other properties with no positive results. I have tried android:singleLine, android:lines, etc., and none of these seem to effect the title of the preference. Also is there a way to scale down the size of a CheckBox title?
