I have an ArrayAdapter in my activity, and when a certain event occur, I'd like to make a specific element flash, or have it highlighted in some way for a couple of seconds. Is there a way to do that?

I'm running into difficulties overriding an ArrayAdapter to be displayed in a ListActivity. The ArrayAdapter is filled asynchronously. What I'm trying to do is add a special "sentinel" object that sits at the beginning of the list to show the progress of the computation. Ultimately this may be a progress bar, but right now I am just using a TextView as a placeholder. The problem is that the sentinel seems to get inserted multiple times into the list - not just once at the beginning. It *seems* to be appearing once per "page" of list data (so if 8 list items fit on the screen, my sentinel appears as the 1st, then 9th, then the 17th, etc..), but that interpretation may not be accurate. While maybe not how ArrayAdapters were intended to be extended, I thought something like this should work by simply overriding getView() to show my custom TextView for index.

How would i put a vector into my array_spinner?
I have a strange problem with one of my ListActivity. I have overrided the default ArrayAdapter in order to customize my list. I have then filled the adapter with an ArrayList.
If I insert an element on the list and then call notifyDataSetChanged() on the adapter everything works fine.
But if I insert an element at the END of the list and then call notifyDataSetChanged(), the new element doesn't appear ...
And finally if I override getCount() on my adapter like this :

I need some simple databinding for a Spinner. I want to display 2 items for each dropdownitem.
So when the user clicks the spinner I get a list like code...
I understand this can be done when using a Cursor, according to the databinding info on android dev. Like code...
However, I don't get my data from a database, so I don't use a cursor, I use a ArrayAdapter. Unfortunately it looks like there is no support for databinding with this adapter.
Is there a way to do this?
I am using an ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> to populate the items to list in a android.widget.Spinner. That works all fine. But now I want to keep the list of items dynamic, i.e. I want to be able to add/remove items from the selection list at runtime. However, when I call adapter.add(item) or adapter.remove(item) I always get a UnsupportedOperationException, even though the Javadocs of the ArrayAdapter class describe these two methods as to be usable for exactly that intended purpose.

These views need to added or removed whenever, they also need to be able to be display in a display bow beneath the gallery. How do I do this?I looked at the doc file for arrayadapter but it requires me to use a reference Id for each view I add, but each view is all java coded. Should I just use setId upon creation of the view and just throw that id into the array adapter, or is there a way to create one without using resource id's?

I would like to know whether there is a way to insert/inject a <string> element defined in an XML file into another <string> element, doing that just with XML.
For example I could have:
<string name="author">Francesco</string>`
and I am looking for something like:
<string name="about_application">Author: @string/author</string>`
so that getString(R.string.about_application) would result in "Author: Francesco".
I know that I could combine the two elements in Java code using String.format(string, formatArgs)like for example:
<string name="author">Francesco</string>
<string name="about_application">Author: %1$s</string>`
and then in code use
String.format(getString(R.string.about_application), getString(R.string.author))
but I would like to do it in XML directly. Can anyone suggest me a way to do it?
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but...Why can't I nest another view type within a View element? In my layout file I try:
CODE:...
And this gives me a ClassCastException. Why?
I have a TabActivity with two tabs-activities — FirstActivity and SecondActivity.
How can I access to any element (for example, change TextView's text) on FirstActivity from SecondActivity?
I have a ListView that has some minor visual preferences that are set in a PreferenceScreen. These preferences are simple booleans to show or not to show some specific TextViews on each item in my ListView.
Anyhow, when these preferences are changed, I need to notify my ArrayAdapter that the data has changed in order to get the list redrawn. However, doing this via an OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener wouldn't really be optimal because there are several preferences that you can change, that would cause an unnecessary amount of updates to the ArrayAdapter.
So, to the question: How can I identify when my ListActivity has occurred on the screen after closing my PreferenceActivity, which I then could use to check for changes in the preferences, and only then notify the ArrayAdapter.
The ArrayAdapter being an inner class of my ListActivity, which is set as a ListAdapter.
I have an ArrayAdapter wrapped around an ArrayList of custom objects. I'd like to write a custom filter for that adapter so that when I call getListAdapter().getFilter().filter("abc") the list will get filtered by an arbitrary transformation of "abc".
I thought I would just try to override ArrayAdapter.getFilter(), but that requires I re-implement the private ArrayAdapter.ArrayFilter which requires access to a bunch of ArrayAdapter's private instances.
What's the simplest way to do this?
I need to create an ArrayAdapter and a Spinner that are totally dynamic and have nothing to do with the layout file.

CODE:.........
Is it a problem to have a reference to a LayoutInflater object, since it must be using the context object somehow? Is there a better design pattern for what I'm trying to do here? (Use the context only to initially inflate the XML; from then on just use the View that's passed in to getView)
I have an ArrayAdapter powering a ListView. I would like to change the data behind the ArrayAdapter and update the ListView's. Sounds like notifyDataSetChanged(); would be exactly what I am looking for, but it updates the entire ListView, and I would prefer to update on a row-by-row basis.
Is there a way to do this with ArrayAdapter, or do I need to manage my data some other way if I want this functionality?
In the application I am working on now I came up with the following problem. I have list view which is displaying items with images in most cases it will be different image for different items (thumbnails about 60x60 pixels). So the problem is how can I handle image processing for the view. For know I have the following variants:
1. I can cache all bitmaps and when I try to display view I get bitmap from cache synchronously and display it. The problem is that 60x60=3600x4=14kb per bitmap which is waste of resources.
2. When I need to display view I can register event to some thread to decode the associated bitmap which will decode it in background and than to update gui. This sounds good for me the scrolling is still smooth because all image processing is done in background. Updating list view is bit jerky for now I am doing it view notifyDataSetChanged which is updating all visible views although I can update thumbnail for a single item.
So question one is is there better way the update single listview element than calling notifyDataSetChanged.
I am getting a parsing error and I do not know why (I am new to programing). Because of this error, R.java disappears and I end up having more errors. Hopefully someone can help me out. Here is where the error comes from: list.xml. Code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI added some UI elements to the main.xml file in the reslayout folder and when I try to access them through the call, R . layout. my _ uielement, the UI element that I created is not there. Even when I add a new xml file with UI elements, it still doesn't show up in the R.layout class. I have made checked the ids on them and they have the correct format (I think): android:id="@+id/my_button". What could be the problem? Do I need to compile the code first? UPDATE: I have already tried adb kill-server then adb start-server. It doesn't seem to help. I have also tried R.id.my_uielement, it doesn't register either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm loading a URL into a WebView and I'm having difficulty setting the "scale" of the web-page. Specifically, the web-page is too big (800x600) for the screen, so my thought is to use "setInitialScale(50)" to reduce the size. Here is some sample code that doesn't work (i.e. the web-page doesn't scale to 50%)
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom");
wv.setInitialScale(50);
I also tried switching the order of the function calls but I get the same result¦i.e.,
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview); wv.setInitialScale(50); wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom");
As an alternative, I have tried to use the "zoomOut()" function like this:
WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/android/symptom"); wv.zoomOut();
This approach works for a split second, and then the image reverts to its original size.
