I'm creating a spinner and I've added an OnItemSelectedListener to it. However I've noticed that it fires on create. Now I was wondering if there was a way to ignore/discard it. I know I could use a boolean value, but that's a bit "dirty".

I'm using a ListView that is setup like this:
CODE:................
In my code I add an OnItemSelectedListener to the ListView like this:
CODE:................
my Activity implements the listener like that:
CODE:........
My hope was, that I would see this debug output the moment I click on something in the list. But the debug output is never shown in LogCat.
1. When does OnItemSelectedListener get called?My expectation was that when an element of a ListView was clicked/ touched that the OnItemSelectedListener would be called. My OnItemSelectedListener is not called when a list element is clicked/ touched. (It is called if the list has focus and I move through the list with the arrow keys in the emulator) Is that the way it works? This ListView has an adapter that supplies TextViews for drawing the list elements.
2. With a ListView set up this way who handles display of selected list items? Does the ListView do it or should the adapter configure the views it supplies to make them look "selected?"
When I change the orientation of my screen in Android, an OnItemSelectedListener from a Spinner is called. It's not just the emulator, it also happens on a physical phone. How can I stop this from occurring?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a layout that looks like this (some attributes removed for brevity)
<RelativeLayout>
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/button"
android:nextFocusRight="@+id/gridview"/>
<GridView

</RelativeLayout>
When I navigate using the DPAD from the button to the gridview, the OnItemSelectedListener is not fired. However a new layout pass is perform. Why is this ? Is this an android bug & my bug?
I have a list in my app.
When a user touches a list item with their finger, the onListItemClick handler fires and I have it opening a new Activity.
However, when a user uses the trackball/pad to click, I want to perform some different functionality. I've overrode onTrackballEvent and everything works perfectly fine in the emulator's trackball mode.
Unfortunately, when testing on the Samsung Moment, clicking the trackpad fires the onListItemClick handler, not the onTrackballEvent handler.
I'm in a trouble managing a spinner. I have a spinner with its adapter. I initialize the spinner with a list of values when starting my activity. Then I force the selected value to be the one used in the object that I manage.
Once the screen is initialized :
When the user selects a value in the spinner, according to the selected value, I may continue (or not) to another activity for let the user choose a complementary and necessary value.
If the user "cancels" this second activity, I want to rollback the spinner to its previous selected value, and cancel some actions made in the meantime.
If the user goes to the end of the second activity, everything is fine and I want juste to refresh the spinner display with the datas selected in the second activity (I overload the getView method in the adapter to do this).
Overall, I can easily do all of this, however, when I force the selected value in the spinner at the begining of my activity, or whene returning back from the second activity by "Cancel", the change value event is catched and the second activity is triggered (the user did not click anything at all).
How would you allow the second activity to be lauched only if the change of the selected value in the spinner is due to a manual action from the user, and prevent that same second activity to be launched when the value of spinner is changed "in the code "?
I tried many solutions, as setting a boolean into the adapter that tells if the next event will be raised because of an "in the code" action.
Or also putting a boolean in the adapter that tells if the adapter has initialised itself, and I force that boolean to true on the forst change catched event.
Any experts on AlarmManager out there?I've got something weird going on.The basic code to set my repeating alarm works fine. I can close my app and the alarm will continue to run like clockwork every five minutes. It works fine only if I set it in the app and then close the app.I've got a registered BootReceiver for re-registering the repeating alarm. I know it fires on boot b/c the log message clearly shows it is firing and re-setting the repeating alarm in question for the same frequency. But the AlarmManager is not firing.Basically, the nearly identical code for setRepeating() fires when set from the app and continues to run when the app is closed, so I know my AlarmReceiver is functioning, but the AlarmManager is either not broadcasting this alarm or my receiver doesn't work from an alarm set in the boot receiver.

In the getview function im using the convertView to set up a OnClickListener. This OnClickListener work well when I am touching the screen but if I use the trackball of the HTC Desire, I see the row flashing on the screen, but the OnClickListener is not called...
I've read the android dev guide : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/ui-events.html
and its say that I should receive a onClick event from the trackball...
Im putting here my getview code in case someone see anything strange.

I have a grid view of buttons that is generated by a CursorAdapter. When the CursorAdapter is passed to the Gridview the view renders correctly however the first item in the grid does not fire the OnClickListener event.
If I select another button in the grid, the event fires correctly however if I selected the first button then another button, it loads the first button action then the section button action.
When testing this, it only seems to be an issue in Android 2.2 on my emulator, my 1.5 phone works as expected. I've wiped the emulator but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Is any way to build and fire an event (e.g. on click event) in android applications programmatically.
I have an Activity (lets call it A) with multiple views (5 ImageView for example). And a normal Java class (lets call it B) which is used by my Activity. here is an instance of B in my Activity. If user click on a View (Image View) the view OnClickListener calls a method in B In B, if operation is successful, it will call back a method in activity again. in activity method, It will change image or state for clicked ImageView.
I the other hand: click on view (x) in Activity -------> B.doSomething() --------> A.bIsDone() -----> change image for view (x) with normal execution, its working and there is no problem. the problem is that I want to simulate this process to be automatic, my code looks like this:
CODE:.............
The issue is that, it won't render anything, until the end of the loop.
I tried to put the loop in another Thread, but its throwing exception: android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
What can i do for this issue? i was think generate an click event on view (by code), to see it can help or not.
My app has been pretty stable for a while, and today out of the blue something called ProtoRequestListener has started intermittently throwing WatchDogExceptions. there's no path through to my code, so i can't even catch the exception and do something about it. i googled around a bit and it seems to be connected to Maps somehow.

How ever when I click the screen it seems the onClick event is not being run?Have I missed something or am I better off sub classing the MyLocationOverlay I am using and override DispatchTap?How ever i would rather be able to just click anywhere on the map to dispatch the event.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am adding a proximity Alert with an expiration of -1 (does not expire). I am testing using an Evo. The proximity Alert fires several times after entering the location and staying inside the location. I was thinking that the proximity alert should fire once when you enter the location and fire once when you exit the location. Should the proximity alert fire multiple times after you enter the location and stay inside of the location?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn fact, only the touch_down event will fire. Basically, I'm trying to implement a drag feature in my app so I need the touch_move event. I have a method that writes out the touch events to the LogCat in Eclipse but the touch_down is the only event that shows up. not even touch_up shows up. I have this problem when I debug on the device or in the avd.
This isn't really a code question. But has anyone had an issue getting different touch events to fire? If so, how did you resolve them? I'm using the latest Android SDK and Eclipse version. I'm using a simple ImageView.
Following is simple html, when viewed on android browser(nexus one) results into continuos orientationchange event chain when you change phone's orientation just once.

I have created a parent class and a child class that inherits from it. When I set the OnClickListener in the child class, the event fires when the button is clicked. When I move the set OnClickListener to the parent class, the event doesn't fire. I've got to be missing something obvious but I just don't see it.

I'm trying to implement pinch-zoom in an app I'm making and am having issues with the onTouch event. It appears that the pointer up & down actions do not fire immediately, like you won't get a pointer up or down until an action move occurs. So what happens if both fingers hit the screen nearly simultaneously is that the 2nd finger (should be pointer(1)) gets a move action before pointer down is called, making the code think it's a DRAG not a pinch zoom.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Treo had this option, and so did the Hero that I had for a few weeks. When a call is coming in, there is an option on the screen to ignore the call and reply with a text message. I realize this can be done just by pressing the "hangup" button and then unlocking the phone, and then opening the SMS app, finding the person's contact info, and replying, but a one-button process would be really nifty.If there is not such an app, where's a good place to start learning how to write one?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHave been using a SQLite database, Theres a situation where i have a list which displays all the "name" field data of a table "table1". Now i have a button to insert data in "table1". The list is populated using a simple cursor adapter which is passed a cursor "cursor1" populated with the data. "cursor1" is prepared using the SQLite query - "SELECT * FROM table1". Now the moment i insert data, i need to update the list too.
My question is- will the Adapter sense the database change automatically (i guess not)?
using cursor1.requery() is correct or should i use cursor1 = db.query("table1", null, null, null, null, null, null);
I've thought of some less than elegant ways to solve this, but I know I must be missing something.
My onItemSelected fires off immediately without any interaction with the user, and this is undesired behavior. I wish for the UI to wait until the user selects something before it does anything.
I even tried setting up the listener in the onResume, hoping that would help, but it doesn't. How can I stop this from firing off before the user can touch the control?

I am currently firing an Intent to a Broadcast Receiver which in turns starts an Activity.
Then from the same Service another Intent is fired to a Broadcast Receiver thats in the Activity.
The problem is that the Activity isn't getting the Intent meant for it because it is fired before it is alive and the Broadcast Reciever is registered.
I was wondering is there anyway to make sure an Activity is alive before sending an Intent?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a website that is using the viewport META tag to tell mobile browsers how to display content( ). Viewing the page in the Android browser looks correct (and iPhone, etc).
When I load the page into a WebView component in an android Application, the WebView ignores the "VIEWPORT" tag, and renders the page at "full" resolution, which is zoomed-in in this case.
I recently did the Orange update to 2.2 and today noticed that the LED isn't firing when i get a new alert. I've tried turning missed reminder off but that doesn't make a difference, though if i go in to missed reminder and do a 'test notification' the LED does come on. Has anyone else experienced this? This is quite annoying as I rely on the LED to let me know if i've got a new event.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application, which (for the sake of simplicity) has two types of activities - Overview and DetailView. The Overview activity shows a list of steps and allows the user to start a DetailView activity corresponding to the step chosen.
In the DetailView activity, the user can start another Overview, which shows different steps than the ones in the parent of the current DetailView.
In the Overview, DetailView is started by using startActivityForResult (). In the DetailView, when the user decides to start a second Overview, I call setResult () and finish () and then start the new Overview. In this scenario, onActivityResult () and finishFromChild () do not fire. Instead, they fire when the parent finishes (?).

I have a problem with a USB hosting program I have written for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I am trying to communicate with a PIC microcontroller via USB and had the program working a month or so back. Attachment to the PIC was by using an intent in the manifest, as per the standard method. However, I then upgraded via Kies to Android 4.0.4 and since then have not been able to use the program.
at first I had no luck in even seeing the PIC but once I told the PIC to pretend it was a mass storage device that problem cleared up (the original version was configured as an HID). It seems that in 4.0.4 Samsung have reintroduced the "whitelist"
Now I have the issue that I can trigger my program on plugging in the PIC (which proves that the permission is working on attaching) but within the program the only intent that is seen is the MAIN one.I don't want to go away from a stock device, and I don't want to have to downgrade back to 4.0.3 which I had when the system was working.
