For Instance: Let us assume the contents in that url are FootBall, Carom , chess, VolleyBall and so on . I want to display FootBall as a individual textview similarly others. so i cannot declare the textviews in xml what i usually do.

I want to create a full-screen page that looks like this:
---------------------------------------
| -------- --------------------------- |
|| || TextView ||
|| | --------------------------- |
|| Image | ----------------- -------- |
|| View || || ||
|| || TextView || ||
|| || || Image ||
|| || || View ||
| -------- ----------------- | ||
| --------------------------- | ||
|| TextView || ||
| --------------------------- -------- |
---------------------------------------
where each ImageView takes up at most 20% of the parent layout's width.
Primary question: Really...what is the best way to do this? After hours of searching, the best idea I can come up with is to get the screen's width and simply set the views' widths to be a max of 20% of that. However, this intuitively does not seem like a best-practice solution. (Eg. if the application wasn't running in full screen, this solution wouldn't work.) A LinearLayout won't work with the way the page is laid out (appears I have to use a RelativeLayout). And I think it would be preferable to set the views' widths based on the parent view's width (as opposed to the screen's width), but I'm not clear on how to do that either, because at the time that I'm trying to set up the widths of my children views, parentView.getWidth() returns 0. Does anyone have any good, clean solutions for how to create a page as shown above?
Secondary question: Does anyone know how to wrap text around images as shown above? After still more hours of searching, I couldn't find a solution for this; seems like you need to stitch together a couple of TextViews. Is there a better way that I'm missing?

There is a given set of predefinied Views that can be used in layouts for AppWidgets. How can a customized View added to this list?
The minimum requirement is that the class is annotated with RemoteView. What else is necessary to be acceptable as view in the layout.xml?

I want to create an activity, which shows a question with 4 answers, and at the bottom of the screen i want to place a timer. i have already found timer example, and i created a question with the answers. the problem that they are 2 different projects and activities, and i am looking for the best way to implement it. i think i can't show 2 activities on one screen, but i can show 2 views or shell i use the ViewGroup, or maybe to copy-paste one of the activities code to another ( its the easiest way but probably the most ugliest way to implement it).

I am trying to dynamically create a interface using a relative layout. I would like to align different views with each other and am finding the need to know the id of a previously created view so that I can use them in subsequent layout params.
Is there a preferred or best way to generate or create ids for views that are created dynamically?

I have made a Custom Component in XML, consisting of a button with an imageview stacked on top of it:
<myapp.widget.ClearableCaptionedButton
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:id="@+id/ccbutton_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:background="@android:drawable/edit_text"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ccbutton_clear"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:layout_alignRight="@id/ccbutton_button"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/ccbutton_button"
android:layout_alignBottom="@id/ccbutton_button"/>
</myapp.widget.ClearableCaptionedButton>
Extract of java source code:
public class ClearableCaptionedButton extends RelativeLayout implements OnClickListener {
...
public ClearableCaptionedButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs);
// some stuff that works fine
} ..
protected void onFinishInflate() { super.onFinishInflate();
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ccbutton_button);
mClear = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ccbutton_clear);
mButton.setText(""); // error here: mButton == null
}
My problem is similar to this one. When I try to find the views inside the custom compound, findViewById returns null. But, as you can see, i already added super(context, attrs); to the constructor. I am using the custom component directly in xml layout, like this:
<LinearLayout>
<!-- some stuff -->
<myapp.widget.ClearableCaptionedButton
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:caption="to"/>
</LinearLayout>

I have a set of custom views that I would like to add to a LinearLayout object. However, the first object I add to the layout (I do this dynamically, during runtime) has a OnMeasure method that tries to get as much space as possible resulting in that it get's all the space LinearLayout object. This is correct behavior, but when I then add more objects following that I want the allocated area for the first object to decrease so the others will fit. As it is now, each following object will get zero space, and hence won't be visible.

I have a requirement to create a control similar to UITabBar in iPhone, which is to be present on every activity of my application. UITabBar essentially is a battery of buttons exhibiting a TAB like behavior: every button maps to an activity. I have two solutions for this: 1. In the layout XML for every activity, I insert a <LinearLayout><Button/><Button/><Button/></LinearLayout> element. And then have a common listener class that will handle the button clicks. So, every activity will have an instance of this listener. 2. To create a custom Widget extending LinearLayout class, put all the buttons as its static members and let it handle the button clicks. Include this custom control in every screen.

I am developing a small app for Android. I am creating my own view.
I am planning to design the layout to be:
<LinearLayout>
<MyView>
<Button><Button>
</LinearLayout>
But when I run my program, my custom view will cover the whole screen. Is there anyway to avoid this?
I have already tried to add android:layout_width, layout_height to be wrap_content, fill_partent, but no luck.

While researching how to create custom compound views in Android, I have come across this pattern a lot (example comes from the Jteam blog)I mostly understand how this is working, except for the part where inflate() is called. The documentation says that this method returns a View object, but in this example the author does not store the result anywhere. After inflation, how is the new View created fromt eh XML associated with this class? I thought about assigning it to "this", but that seems very wrong.

I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

I've successfully implemented onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() for my main activity to save and restore certain critical components across screen orientation changes.
But it seems, my custom views are being re-created from scratch when the orientation changes. This makes sense, although in my case it's inconvenient because the custom view in question is an X/Y plot and the plotted points are stored in the custom view.
Is there a crafty way to implement something similar to onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() for a custom view, or do I need to just implement methods in the custom view which allow me to get and set its "state"?

I've created a custom Typeface by adding a TTY file to the assets folder, and I use the set Typeface method to apply this font to each of the text views, and everything works great. The only problem I have, is that I write a lot of code lines in order to apply this font to all text views. Is there a way to make this font the default font in my project, or to apply it to all text views at once?

I'm having trouble making views within the <LinearLayout /> within the <ScrollView /> appear on the graphical layout tab when trying to view them. Attached here is my code and the supposed outcome of the interface for this settings activity: ActivitySettings.doc.
I'm having issues showing the views from the first Edit Text downwards when trying to view the whole settings interface on the graphical layout tab. What seems to be the problem here? Is it lacking necessary attributes and / or using a wrong one on a particular view?

I am trying to create an activity layout that has a top level vertical linear layout like so:
CODE:................
This works ok as long as the wordDefinition text isn't very long. But, when I set the text to something very long, it pushes the back button off the bottom of the screen. Why? Isn't the ScrollView supposed to scroll the text in the child TextView?
I've tried playing with weights (e.g., giving the top text view a weight of .2, the scroll view a weight of .7 and the button a weight of .1, but to no avail.

I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.
i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.
Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.
How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?
