I have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:id/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity. I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up an app to use a custom title so I can get the proper logo into the title instead of just text, and to make it clean (since the logo has a flat black background), I also want the whole title bar to be black. My xml for the title is a framelayout to hold the logo inside of a linearlayout to change the background color, and I'm setting the title in OnCreate() as follows:
CODE:.........................
With this setup, the old gray from the old title bar still exists around the edge of my custom title. Appears to be on the order of 3-4 px on the bottom and 8-10 px on each side. Any ideas about how to get the black background to cover the entire area?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to implement a PreferenceActivity for my application that uses custom default values for its preferences instead of the defaults declared in the corresponding preference XML as the defaults are supposed to change dynamically based on certain conditions.However, when I modify the defaults via the Android API after loading the preferences through addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences); it already seems to be too late and the individual defaults set via Preference.setDefaultValue do not seem to be taken into consideration when rendering the UI.As I would like to avoid re-inventing the wheel I hope there is some possibility to achieve this using the standard Android preference API. Is there any way to trigger a re-evaluation of the values (and default values) associated with a PreferenceScreen hierarchy? I did not yet try whether creating the PreferenceScreen via APIs instead of loading from XML would help, so that could be an option.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to have a Preferences activity that has icons like the system settings has had since Eclair. It uses a special Preference called IconPreferenceScreen.I can copy that into my project without problem, but I'd like the behavior of the PreferenceScreen instead of just the Preference Class. I could like to click on it to show its children Preferences. I thought it would be a easy to change to make IconPreferenceScreen extend PreferenceScreen instead of Preference, but PreferenceScreen is Final.Why on earth would google make PreferenceScreen a final class? Is there anyway to achieve what I would like to do, short of dividing up my Preference into several other Preferences that all receive intents (That's how the system settings works.)
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy PreferenceActivity contains a nested PreferenceScreen in another PreferenceScreen and I'm applying a theme to my PrefenceActivity that changes the background color. However when I open the nested PreferenceScreen I get a black background and I cannot see the options.This happens with android 2.1 , but it does not happen with android 1.6.Any ideas on how this can be corrected?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use custom xml attributes for preferences. The preferences are inflated from xml.I managed to create and read custom xml attributes for EditTextPreference, ListPreference and CheckBoxPreference by creating custom classes which inherit from the respective preference class.My problem is that I can't do this for the PreferenceScreen class, as it is a final class. So my question is: Is there any way I can read the custom attributes of a PreferenceScreen?

So is it even possible to do what i want?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've got a probleme with an exception, but I don't know why I get this exception.
The project is about implementing an AbstractAccountAuthenticator with an AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter to sync certain data on a server with a content provider.
I made everything and both adding accounts and syncing is running without any problems.
Now I've tried to add a Preference-Screen just like suggested in the android reference (search for AbstractAccountAuthenticator, it is explained there) via xml like this:
autenticator.xml:
CODE:..........
The Preference-Screen-xml looks like this:
CODE:.....................
The screen is promted how it should be, but and that is the problem: When I click on the PreferenceScreen with the intent it leads to a crash of the system (both in the emulator and my HTC-Desire).
Logcat says:
CODE:..............
Here the part of the manifest, where the activity is defined:
CODE:.......
The whole test-code (it is my project on the essentials to find the problem) is to find at googlecode (http://code.google.com/p/ cleanproject/source/browse/) (Eclipse-Project)
I have my own custom Content Provider that loads a database which contains the settings information for my application.
I load the settings from the ContentProvider on the creation of my Settings activity.
My Settings activity is made up of a PreferenceScreen and Dialog based EditText's.
The following code shows how I use the preference screen and edit texts.
So as you can see from the first image this works and displays the menu with the information underneath.
The problem is in image two, when I click on a choice in the menu the dialog pops up but it is empty, I would like to be able to load the data from my content provider into the edit text in the dialog, so in image one it shows "Donal" as the user name so in image two "Donal" should also appear in the edit text in the dialog.
I would also like to be able to listen to the OK button in the dialog so when a user changes a setting I can update the data in my content provider.
what I'm trying to do?
CODE:......................
I have a PreferenceActivity with a bunch of (Sub)PreferenceScreens. Each such (Sub)PreferenceScreen represents an account and has the account-username as its title.
CODE:................
As the user enters sub-PreferenceScreen, and edits the account user-name, I want the outer PreferenceScreen to update it's PreferenceScreen-title for the account in question.
I've tried to add...
CODE:.............
But the accScreen.setTitle does not seem to take effect on the outer PreferenceScreen. I've note that calling onContentChanged(); actually makes it work, but I realize that this is probably not the preferred way of doing it.
I suspect I should call postInvalidate() on some view somewhere, but I really can't figure out on what view and when to do it.

i want to hide the app title.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn one of my Android Application I need to keep the title bar same but the view that is shown in the rest of the screen changes. So, I have taken different Activity for all the views that I need to show and set the title bar in every Activities onCreate method. Now, the problem is that I have a button in the title bar and need to perform certain action on its click event. Writing the same event handling code in every Activity class is very cumbersome. Is there any other way out that whenever there is a click event on that button of the title bar then we can have the same functionality without writing the same code in all the Activity classes. Can we use ViewGroup for that? I don't have much idea about ViewGroup. Is that possible with ViewGroup?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen my application starts, I call: this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); to get rid of the title bar. I then create a custom ViewGroup and when set that view to be the content view via a call to 'setContentView', the 'onLayout' method of my ViewGroup is called. However, the top position is set to 25, even though I have turned off the title. How can I set my ViewGroup to take up all of the space, including the space formally occupied by the title bar?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wish to set the title of each activity with a constant value which is fetched from a local sqlite database. the value is the user's username.

I have a possible simple layout questions. My activity content view contains a title bar, a webview and a status bar. I put these three views into a linearlayout and each has height as WRAP_CONTENT.
The problem is, when first displays, webview doesn't take much space because the page is not loaded. The status bar is showed right under title bar. When the page is loaded, webview expands over the screen size and the status bar is not shown even when scroll down to the button. (I tried to set webView's height to FILL_PARENT, but status bar is not shown)
What is the correct way I can layout this so the title bar always at the top, the status bar always at the bottom and webview always take the remaining middle space and have scroll bar when contents takes larger space?
