Is it possible to create subfolders under res/layout and place the layout XML files there so that one can call a view like setContentView(R.layout.questions.create); or setContentView(R.layout.questions/create); ?

I'm creating a game where there's a screen that, for the most part, is shared by four different activites - but a key portion of the screen will be completely different, depending upon which activity is active. Basically, on the left will be an image of the player and along the bottom there will be a row of buttons (let's say for Armour, Weapons, Magic, Skills). This leaves the top-right portion, which will need to dynamically change to represent the button pressed. (So, one moment the top-right portion is the armour selection activity, and the next it's the weapon selection activity, and so on.)
Is this possible? Can I have a layout within a layout and dynamically point the nested layout at a (nested) layout.xml of my choosing? Or, am I looking at just duplicating most of the layout four times (for the four different activities?) Or, am I going to be looking at linking the four activities to a (the top-right) view component, and then having to dynamically construct all of *that* view's child views based on the currently active activity? Well, that's about as much sense as I can make this question make.
I see folder res in APIDEMO in SDK contains subfolders as raw , anim , xml ...,but mine only have basic three folders drawable, layout ,values, how can I add subfolders to res/ and let eclipse produce a corresponding R.java in my app?

I created a class extending the FileObserver class. I initialize the class to watch the path of the sdcard as returned from the Android Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory function. Everything seems to work perfectly as long as the files are in the ROOTof the sdcard. Any files within SUB-FOLDERS of the sdcard are NOT returned to my public void onEvent(int event, String path) callback in my FileObserver class.
The docs say files in subfolders should be returned to the onEvent() callback but it's not happening. Note, I've only tested on the Android simulator (v2.2) since I do not yet have access to a device. Maybe this is a bug specific to the simulator?

Is it possible to have subfolders in the /res/drawable directory. I would like my resources to be organized in a tree view and not in a flat dir. If it is possible so how do I reference the resource from the code?
Does anyone know how to create subfolders? I created a folder to locate all of my Directions & Navigations shortcuts. I'd like to create subfolders to organize them. I can't seem to figure this out. I also tried searching for the folder name using Astro and making sure I was pointed at the device not the sdcard and came up empty. That actually brings up another questions. If I create a directory on one of the home screens. What is the path to that directory?

I want to make sub folders for each band (ac/dc/, beatles, etc) I can do it on the sd card when my phone is connected to the computer, but when I disconnect it and look in gallery on the phone, the Music Videos folder does not appear. So, I had to make a folder for each band instead Videos - Beatles, Videos - ac/dc etc) its a pain. Has anybody tried the sub folder route? or isn't Froyo sophisticated enough to do this?

I just received my Sprint Hero in the mail, love it so far, but I am not able to sync up my outlook subfolders. I had the HTC Tocuh Pro 2, was able to sync my subfolders, but it was too sluggish and I only got it because it had Microsoft outlook. I have certain rules set that allow me to have certain incoming emails sent to certain folders so that I can keep up with them. Seems like the only way for me to get the emails from certain individuals on my phone is to take the rules off from my desktop and have them come in with all my other mail. I would hate to do this.

I connected my phone to a corporate exchange server via activesync and everything is working fine for all the generic folders(inbox,send,deleted etc...), but i have outlook rules set up that emails get routed to various subfolders under inbox(NOT PST) based on who the sender is and I never receive any notifications for those messages. so i have to manually browse all those folders to see if i have any new mail. i tried touchdown for exchange, but really didn't like its look and feel...

So far, the only app I've found that manages this properly is Touchdown. I'm in the trial period, and may end up buying it, but I'm hoping that there's another application out there that works as well, but has better design and UI. Does anyone know of one?
I used RoadSync on my Nokia, and was looking for the Android version on the market (it does exist, apparently), but can't find it. It might have been taken off, or perhaps doesn't work with v2.1.
After a 3 year stint with Windows Phone I've come back to Android with the purchase of a Galaxy S4, however the transition back hasn't been entirely smooth.
how android organizes the photo gallery. Doesn't matter the app, they all seem to organize in a similar way - find all folders with photos in it, list every folder as a separate album. That's great, but I don't want that.
On my Lumia 920 I had my photos organized like this.And on the device, they show up like this:I have folders with only subfolders as content. And they retain this organization in the photo viewer. I cannot find a single app that does this. I've tried Scalado, QuickPic, Just Pictures, Android ICS Gallery, Samsung Gallery, Customization Android 3D Gallery - nothing.
Is this just how the media scanner works? Any way to organize into subfolders within a gallery app? Is there any app that allows me to custom define my own setup? I wouldn't mind having to configure a text file to my setup, I just want it organized.
This is how BB, iOS, WP, and almost every other mobile OS organizes photos.The application F-Stop Media Gallery on the android marketplace allows the construction of custom albums. Although you cannot specify covers for the empty albums containing sub-albums, I've found a decent workaround.
With sub-albums looking like this. In order to get some form of album cover, you need images in the folder. However it will take the top 4 images and use those, so if you want a phone for the whole cover you'll need to split it up into 4 quadrants. Or just do 1 image and deal with it being small. Also, albums within other albums don't take on covers for some reason. I contacted the device and he said this was intentional but they were looking to change this in the future.
Albums need to be manually defined, which is a tad irritating but it works alright once you have it set up.
If I first set the content view to my xml layout using setContentView(R.layout.main); and then add another content view using addContentView(layout, params), the content views overlap each other. I want the second content view to position itself directly under the first one. Is it possible or do I need to combine the xml and the programatically created layouts in some way? Both of the layouts are linear.

I've met a problem with animation when tried to make a View to perform the animation which should cross 2 layouts, e.g. make a translate animation so a view could move down to the TableRow below. This trick works fine when i try to move a view within a single TableRow but not when i try to move it up or down. I've also discovered that if i create a single RelativeLayout and apply the same animation there, it works fine, but i can't arrange all the components i need on the screen. Could anybody please provide me any hints about it?
View 2 Replies View Relatedsupporting multiple screens (sizes and resolutions). I´ve searched not only this forum but many different websites and the android documentation but I´m probably doing a small mistake so things are not working properly.
Well, my main layout was designed with a HVGA screen, and it works great. When I try the same app on a WVGA, FWVGA, WQVGA or FWQVGA, I always get an unused space in the end of the layout because the screen ´s "heightnes" is proportionally bigger than HVGA´s.
So I consulted the documentation and decided to give a try on resource qualifiers, so I then created a nonsense UI and placed it on layout- large, created a new AVD using the WVGA skin and launched the app. Well, all I got was my old and not well stretched layout. The same happened to a FWVGA AVD.
This is the first problem. The second is: medium high density medium size screens and medium density large screens have the same resolution: how can I create a layout that is loaded for both, but not for (for example) medium size medium density or small size medium density screens?
I want to make a listview that has different rows (layouts). I will load the data from a webservice and it can be 2 or more layouts i have to generate then.

I load 1 XML file with multiple different child objects (comment, friend) so i can see which layout i have to use........

View 11 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to load my main.xml layout file in onCreate() and then later in the app, switch to a new XML layout? I've tried placing setContentView() later on in the app but that seems to not actually set the new View because my references to objects in the newly set xml layout file are returning as null. I've tried doing some layout inflating using the LayoutInflater but I'm having no luck (I'm probably doing something wrong)... So is there any other way to swap layout xml layouts at runtime?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if it is possible to inflate a layout using a different density value than the default system density. I have a high density layout, which looks good on the Galaxy Tab (1024x600px, hdpi) and I like to use the same layout on another tablet with the same pixel resolution but medium density. The mdpi layout which is used works on the device but the screen just looks really empty and I would prefer to scale things up. So is there a xml argument for scaling the layout, maybe something similar to Bitmap.Options.targetDensity. Or could this be done with a new LayoutInflater class?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am getting my feet wet developing software for the Android. My test app will have multiple screens (each having their own layout file). The main screen will direct the user to view the other screens based on user input. I kinda see this as layers of cake. Bottom layer being main; then you add and remove layers as the user makes UI inputs. The crazy trouble is how to view a second layer. I have created a second class which has its own onCreate method, which has its on setContentView(R.layout.secondlayer).
This class extends Activity much like my primary class does. I have a click event on a button within the main layout. This button will instantiate the new second layer class which I have done. And that is where my story endsI don't know what to do from this point. This is surely a newbie question If someone has an example that would be extremely helpful teach me to fish and I will be on my way.
Where in the source are the layouts for the built-in UI's?I would like to reuse (copy) a couple of the contact UI's rather than recreate the wheel.
