I wrote CustomView Class, and load it in layout. so i trid to find CustomView using findViewById() in activiy to get handle. but findViewById() was return null.

first of all: yes, I read all the other threads on this topic. And not only those from this site... (you see, i'm a little frustrated) Most of them come with the advice to use "android:id" instead of just "id" in the xml file. I did. From others, i learned, that View.findViewById works different than Activity.findViewById. I handled that, too.
in my location_layout.xml i use
<FrameLayout .... >
<some.package.MyCustomView ... />
<LinearLayout ... >
<TextView ...
android:id="@+id/txtLat" />.................
I just got my new laptop today. When I did the .sbf restore before I was on Windows Vista 32bit. I now am on Windows 7 32bit. Do I need to find new drivers or anything or everything going to work the same if I need to sbf?
I have a question about shutter lag. Is there a way to reduce the lag? I have been doing some of the suggested mods to the build.prop file and I am wondering if there is a mod we can do to reduce shutter lag when taking a pic.
Anyone knows of a good application to find numbers and addresses of people (not business) besides white pages ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking into writing an Android game, tough I don't curerntly own an Android device. For those of you who own a device, how does the performance on the emulator relate to real device performance? I'm especially interested in graphics related tasks.This obviously depends on both the machine running the emulator, and the specific device in question, but I'm talking rough numbers here.This question is a duplicate, but since that post is heavily outdated, I figured it's irrelevant by now.

It would be interesting to know if the number of people buying apps is growing as fast as the number developing them. Has anyone seen data about either?

How come? Both classes are within the same package.
Eclipse is marking findViewById(int) as undefined; it was doing the same thing for getResources(), but I was able to get around that by calling context.getResources() instead (as seen below) and can't seem to find a similar workaround for findViewById.
Here is the code:
CODE:.....................
Is there another package I need to import for findViewById?
Would it be there noticeable speed improvement if I would create local references to needed view elements (e.g. EditText or Button) in my activity (in onCreate()) and use them for accessing needed elements or it does not much matter if I always use findViewById() when I need to access some particular element?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it somehow possible that instead of:
Button btnNextWord = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnNextWord);
Eclipse automatically generates for me something like:
Button btnNextWord = this.btnNextWord;
or
Button btnNextWord = R.id.getBtnNextWord(this);?

I have a TextView in my xml layout file. I'd like to get it and change my text when I click this button.
But I can't get it (the TextView) unless I make it as a value of a static member of this class and pass it to the constructor. I believe I am missing a big point here, so i'd be very thankful if you could explain how this is meant to be done ?
This code works fine if I move the findViewById call in to the Activity. Any hints as to why it doesn't work from inside the LearningView class? I've tried moving the TextView inside the com.example.LearningView tag but no joy. I'd prefer to get the TextView from within the SurfaceView subclass as I feel it's more logical to treat the TV as a "child" of the SV.
This is a contrived example I wrote to figure out the problem in a larger application, but the gist of it is the same, and the stack trace is basically the same.
For what it is worth, the findViewById call is returning null, which obviously threw NullPointerExceptions in some attempts to fix this.
As you can probably gather from my attempts I'm flying blind on this one.

Trying to have a ListView (scrollable list) of rows made of two TextViews. I have a list of items from a database that I want to populating into the LinearLayout->ListView->TextView but can't get to the id...

I have an ArrayAdapter where I inflate the stuffView. My thinking and understanding of other examples is it's not inflated (this nested stuffView) until I purposely inflate it. That all works fine but when I do the findViewById it returns null and thus I can't setText().
epic Fail due to complete ignorance/newbieness on my part. Note: I've pored through what I can of Reto's book, especially a simliar example on Page 163 but fail fail fail...
Can some kind soul point me in the right direction?
Must I inflate this nested view? (Reto's example does). If so, what am I missing? I'm hoping someone can point me to a better example.
My code's probably too involved at this point to post and a bit proprietary.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an xml layout that will display a grid made up of textviews within tablerows. The textview names are cell00, cell01, etc. At runtime, my program will determine which cell needs to be changed.
Is there a way get format a name so that it can be passed to the findViewById method at runtime? For example, if cell00 is needed, how can I generate the parm in this code?
TextView currcell = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cell00)
Something like "cell"+00 doesn't compile because the findViewById method doesn't accept a String type. I don't want have every textview name in the grid hardcoded in the program - there must be a better way.
