Android :: Create View With Background That Wraps Up All Content?

Mar 5, 2009

I'm trying to create a listview containing conversations in chat bubbles, and each chat bubbles are rows in the list view. So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time. The problem is, I cannot adjust the height of the chat bubble such that the bottom edge is just below the textview for time. In the chatBubble, I have this line that does not work android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/timeLabel" because timeLabel is a textview created after chatBubble. If I place chatBubble tags right below timeLabel, the height of chatBubble will be just right because lf the layout_alignBottom, but chatBubble covers all the text created before it.

Is there a way I can create the chatBubble last, and bring the view to the background? Or is there a better way to do this?....................

Android :: Scroll View Doesn't Resize - Content Of Child View Changes

Aug 18, 2010

I have a WebView inside the ScrollView. The content of WebView dyanamically changes when it displays different html page. I have the following issue: For example I have A.html, and B.html. The content of B.html is larger than A.html, so the page is longer. When WebView load B.html, the ScrollView stretches its size to enable itself scroll for B.html, then if I go back to A.html, ScrollView doesn't resize itself. (The scroll area is exceed the content of A.html) What I want to have, is dynamic change the scroll area of scroll view to fit the webview's content.

Android :: Modifying Adapter Content From Background Thread

Sep 14, 2010

I've read up quite a bit on the exception thrown while using BaseAdapter, but i can't seem to find an alternative solution: Make sure the content of your adapter is not modified from a background thread. What i want to achieve is to keep a copy of a message queue in memory, and use this message queue to populate the BaseAdapter for my ListView. The reason im doing this is that the message queue will keep getting messages from a socket even when the ListView is not currently present (for example a chat window).

The problem comes when i have the Activity with the ListView in foreground, BaseAdapter binded to the message queue's data, and a message comes in the socket. Adding the new message into the queue will throw the exception mentioned above. Unless i pre-populate my BaseAdapter with the message queue (as in the BaseAdapter having its own message queue) and updating both of them when a new message come in, i can't really find a way around this issue. I don't really want to double up the effort on keeping those 2 queues up-to-date like this, surely there is a better way of doing this? Send broadcasts around doesn't work either because of the potential delay in the adapter serving a scroll and the notifyDataSetChanged call is made.

Android :: View On Press Onpress - Change Background Color On Press - How Do Show That The View Is Being Pressed

Jan 5, 2010

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.

How do I create non-mutually exclusive apks for identical apps that differ only in content? I have an app that plays an mp3 file embedded as a raw resource. I would like to be able to create multiple apps with this (same logic but different songs) and possibly install more than one song on a device. But now when I try to install a second version it says that the app is already installed, even if I refactor and change the name of the app. What is the proper way to do this?

Android :: Create Background Loop Method

Aug 31, 2010

I want to call a method every X minutes, if my method got a result it ´should inform the user by vibrating or showing a alertbox. if the method doesn't get a result it should wait for X minutes and restart. What is important, this should also work when the phone turns to sleep. Which means I want to wake the phone from sleep to run my method. Actualy I can activate my method via a Button, and it is working like I want it to be except the background loop thing.

I already searching for a solution here in the group or also on google but I think I don't got the right search terms to find a solution for my problme. I already read about the AlarmManager and broadcast receiver but I'm not sure if this is right for my problem.

what is a good way to signal an error from a thread that is not the UI thread and you don't know which activity/handler is currently active? Can I somehow get eleto the current UI thread? Can I somehow use the MainLooper from the application context? I use notification for serious events where the user needs to take action, e.g. a login failed, but here I am looking for a transient notification with a toast and it would be ok if the toast is not seen in some cases.

Android :: Trap In TabHost When AsyncTask Delays Set Content View At Activity Startup

Nov 3, 2009

I've got a tab host activity started from a home screen shortcut. When my application starts it downloads information from a server using an AsyncTask. In the onPostExecute method of the AsyncTask I call setContentView to display the TabHost.When I start the homescreen shortcut by tapping on the shortcut using my finger everything works as expected, I download the information from the server and display the TabHost with the information in the tabs. However starting the application by navigating to the shortcut with the mouse wheel and then clicking on the shortcut with the mouse wheel leads to a trap in the framework code as soon as my application starts. This looks like a simple fix since mCurrentView is null at the time that this method is called - can this issue be addressed? Does anyone know of any workarounds?

Android :: Need To Create A Background Service That Listens For Actions

Aug 26, 2010

I'm new to the android platform, and I need to create a background service that listens for actions from different applications, the home activity, menu items in different apps, etc. Is it enought to call several event listeners and pass the different home activity events (and events from other activities) to the listeners? If so, what exactly to I pass to my event listener? Is the home activity an object that I can call? What is it and how do I pass it? Otherwise how to I listen for user interaction with variouse elements of a given view/activity? I need the listeners to trigger an activity that occurs before the event they asked for. For example. 1. They press the arrow button on the homescreen. Before it pops up, a picture pops up on the screen.

Android :: How Create View Like The Default Android EditContact View

Jul 29, 2010

Specifically, I'm curious about how they did the phone number entry part, where they can add additional phone numbers fields when the user clicks the little add button. I initially thought that was done with a ListView, and I got a ListView to work, but the ListView scrolls independently of the rest of the screen, which looks bad.

So I was wondering what the best approach for something like that is? Am I on the right track with the ListView and just missing something allowing me keep it from behaving like it's own scrollable container? Perhaps a custom AdapterView or maybe just with a TableLayout dynamically adding rows? I'm just not sure what would work the best.

Android :: Resetting The Background Color Of View

Sep 8, 2010

I'm trying to restore the background Color of a View. I have several selectable Views. When the user clicks one of those Views, the following code is executed and the View becomes Yellow:

View newSelection, previousSelection;

...

if(previousSelection != null) {
previousSelection.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); // problem here
}
newSelection.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);

However, I want to reset the color of the previously selected View. However, I do not know which color it was (I'm setting it to Color.BLACK in the above code). I was not able to find a getBackgroundColor or similar method in the View class. If I had it, I could save the previous color and just put it back when the new View is selected.
