In my android app I set
CODE:...............
Then my touch screen event doesnt' work any more.
I have a button and onClick it changes the contentView by setContentView(R.layout.choose_player);. It works fine. But if you take the focus to the button by the trackball(making it yellow) and tap on it, it gives the exception. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view

How to either replace the in call screen or put something on top of it....the only solution I have found thus far is to make my own ROM, which doesn't make sense for such a small portion of an OS. however I found these two apps (Full Screen Caller Pictures and Full Screen Caller ID) that are able to put a contact image and button on top of the standard in call screen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedQuestion related to Android Activity Restoration:
In my application there is a background Service from where I am launching Activities, Activity A and B. I am launching Activity A on some external events using "FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK" (I need to use this flag to launch Activity A from Service, if did not then my application segments, Don't know why this happens) and Activity B without this flag. Activity Launching Sequence is as follows:
Service --> Activity B --> Activity A (With FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
When we are in Activity A and we Hit Home key It returns to "Android Home" Screen and then after Selecting Application Icon, android does not launch Activity A again It displays Activity B. When we hit back key on Activity B it gets deleted (as it should) and then after Selecting Application Icon again It displays Activity A.
Why this might be happening? Have I explained it properly?
I created a sql lite database with the following columns:
static final String dbName="demoDB";
static final String tableName="Employees";
static final String colID="EmployeeID";
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE "+tableName+" ("+colID+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, "+
colName+" TEXT, "+colAge+" Integer);");
I want to select all the records in the database like this and display them in a gridview:SQLiteDatabase db=this.getWritableDatabase();Cursor cur= db.rawQuery("Select "+colName+", "+colAge+" from "+tableName, new String [] {});String [] from=new String []{DatabaseHelper.colName,DatabaseHelper.colAge};
int [] to=new int [] {R.id.colName,R.id.colAge};
SimpleCursorAdapter sca=new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.gridrow,c,from,to);
GridView grid=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.grid);
grid.setAdapter(sca);but i receive the following exception:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: column '_id' does not exist.the db table does not have a column with name '_id'so what is wrong with this code
When starting two activities of the same class within the same instance using the flag REORDER_TO_FRONT, the new extra information of the second call does not override the first starting activity. Is this the desired behavior? How do retrieve the new extras?
For example: In the StubActivity, I have this code:
Intent i = new Intent(this, A.class);
i.putExtra("foobar",1); startActivity(i);
Activity A is displayed, and then this code is called upon a button press:
new Intent(this, A.class);
i.putExtra("foobar",2);
i.setFlag(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(i);
Activity A is re-displayed. Now check for the extras: int foobar = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("foobar")
Turns out that foobar = 1
I am using the following attributes for an activity and expect a window to resize automatically to occupy space available above IME: android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" android:theme="@android:style Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" When IME is opened the window does not resize and the bottom appart is hidden by the IME. I've observed that if I remove the Fullscreen flag, window resizes as expected. Is there a way to make window resize with Fullscreen flag?

I am wanting to programmaticaly set the state of the enable flag for WiFi Hotspot Tethering in Froyo. Something like this:
boolean isEnabled = Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG, 0) == 1;
// toggle HOTSPOT mode
Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);
// Post an intent to reload
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.SOME_WIFI_TETHER_FLAG_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Is there a programmatic flag for turning off wifi hotspot mode in 2.2 from Settings.System class?
Is it a good practice to develop an app that uses the full screen?
It is not a game, full screen would be just nice to have more space on the screen for GUI elements.
But I have the dim feeling, that a full screen app could break some recommandations for good app design. The developer guide gives no answer to this. Who knows more? I'm learning how to develop on android and it is very important for me to learn it right.
I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen.What happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible for just a moment when the activity starts up. Then they slide off, leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen.It appears that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off.If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works correctly and nothing gets cut off. But then I have a title bar or notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a frustration with the Google Playstore because there are times that I'd like to 'skip' an update (because of something broken in the update) ... but then still be able to hit the 'update all' button for other apps.
There are times I see that the list of apps to update are listed in a section for "Update All" and with one button it will cycle through them all. And there are times under that list, is another list of apps that are shown as 'Manually Update".
Any way to 'flag' or 'set' an app's update to move to the "Manually Update" section - so you can skip it in the "Update All" list.
I have 2 apps that I don't want to update for one reason or another... and now I have to go through the update list one by one instead of Update All.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI hate to bother you all again, as this is probably me, a newbie, making some big blunder, but I'm baffled as to why my mapview only takes up a fraction of the screen. I've been following tutorials.
My layout:
CODE:.................
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal mode (wide, not very tall). The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
Tried to search for this one but the search terms I used didn't seem to find worthwhile results. I'm creating an application to run on a device with a 800x480 resolution (the archos 5) so I've created an AVD in the emulator with that resolution. However, when I run my program in the emulator it simply shows the program with the default android size, centered in the 800x480 window. It is not stretched to cover the whole screen. How can I fix this? I'm using Android 2.1.

In landscape mode, the soft keyboard(IME-input method editor) is showing full screen and displaying the plain text. But my editText is a password field.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple app that is mostly native-code OpenGL with about a page of Java to interface to it. On my new Galaxy Tab, it creates a window that is about 480x800 pixels, while on other devices (including an AC100 with a larger screen) it fills the whole screen.
Searching the web, it seems that this affects many existing apps when they are run on this device, and there is plenty of end-user advice about how to make apps fill the screen. But I've failed to find any advice about how I should do it from within the app.
My current Java code is not much more than this:
CODE:.................................
At first, I thought it was just a problem with my code, but I've since discovered that this problem applies even to the default, unmodified app templates I can choose from when creating a project in Eclipse. Every app only takes up a fraction of the screen. Here's my layout for an example, but again, it affects all of them:
CODE:.....
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal or vertical mode. The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
I've tried a variety of things. I switched to a linearlayout, as one page I saw recommended. I tried spelling out absolute layout widths. I tried all sorts of stuff. The map stubbornly remains surrounded by black on all sides. One thing I noticed was that when I specified widths and heights that were really large, way bigger than the screen, the map showed up as pure white instead of as a map. But it still had the black all around the map as described above. The title bar likewise is truncated by the black bars on either side and only takes up 1/3 of the width, whether in landscape or portrait mode.
The apps that come by default on the emulator take up the fullscreen, but everything I install from Eclipse does not.
I have an Android TextView where the view itself is limited to four lines.If the text exceeds this limit I want the end of the view to end with something like.<-- to notify that there is more text here so you can click and open in full screen for example.Not just suddenly stop in the middle of a sentence. Is there a quick fix for this?
