In my apps preferences screen, i want to pop up a dialog that shows a list of checkbox items that are dynamically generated.
How does one do that and also, how does one get the checked values? I have made custom dialogs in the past, but for some reason my brain wont function today ..
Things go fine, and i am able to design a layout like this...

So everytime I generate questions and answers as RadioButtons (one answer) or CheckBoxes (multiple choice answer)...But now I really don't know how to save those answers (I'd like to save to it as _question_id, _answer_id). How can I assign good _answer_id, to _question_id...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making a time sheet program where a user inputs his in- and out-punches. I have a ListView that I am populating from an array of calendar objects. I would like each row to show the day and date then on a new line the time, but I only want to display the day and date if it is different from the previous element.Currently, I am setting visibility in the Base Adapter based on comparisons using position vs position-1 (which are used as indices to the array). This only works if the whole list fits on the screen. If it extends beyond the screen and the user scrolls around the results are unpredictable.To further confuse things, I am setting the color of the times, based on the position, to alternate between green and red (in/out) and it works as expected, scrolling or not.How does Android handle the ListView position when scrolling or what could I do differently to show/hide the day and date? Code...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've a ListView where every element in the list contains a TextView and two different Buttons.I found a solution as described in my answer below. Now I can click/tap the button via the touch screen. However, I can't manually select it with the trackball. It always selects the whole list item and from there goes directly to the next list item ignoring the buttons, even though I set .setFocusable(true) and setClickable (true) for the buttons in getView().This causes that no list item is selectable at all any more. But it didn't help in making the nested buttons selectable.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wandering if there was a easy way to do the following without android layout
place an image central top
place a button center center
place a button left bottom
place a button right bottom
it doesn't sound that difficult no ?
well I can't figure out a way to place the elements as I want using stupid xml layout.
From http://d.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html, it said "Instantiate layout elements at runtime. Your application can create View and ViewGroup objects (and manipulate their properties) programmatically."
Can you please tell me how/where I can find example for that?
For example, how can I convert the following layout into Java code of my MyWidget. So that when I put "<MyWidget...>" in my layout xml file, it will automatically build a Gallery inside the MyWidget? code...

I have a layout which might be a bit unusual.
The structure is the following:
CODE:..............
My customRelativeLayout at the bottom of the XML has a XML layout too:
CODE:.............
My CustomRelativeLayout:
CODE:.....................
What I want to do: I want to be able to change the position of my CustomRelativeLayout. It should be follow my touch. Its smaller than the SurfaceView and should "slide" above following my touch...
There are two problems:
The onTouchListener bind to mLinearLayout (in CustomRelativeLayout) is only triggered once and only for ACTION_DOWN. I see the log output only once The note never changes the position, it is never redrawn with the changed matrix... I see the output stated in onDraw never after the touch happened.
First might be because the SurfaceView also handles touch events. But I thought if the CustomRelativeLayout handles it first, it should work.
Thanks to Xil3 I was able to remove the wall I was run into...

I also found a bug/feature/issue, which is absolutely new for me: When I remove the background in my note root element (which is currently transparent) the note is only visible within the 200dp width/height I have set in the inner LinearLayout. So its not fill_parent, its wrap_content even as I set it to fill_parent. So layout_width and layout_height only use the given fill_parent when a background is set...
For an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.

I was wondering if it's possible to set an automatic/dynamic margin (padding?) between elements in an Android layout without having to do it programmatically?
For example let's say there is a horizontal LinearLayout which is set to android:layout_width="fill_parent" and that contains five elements. Is there a setting that evenly shares the remaining empty space of the LinearLayout to the margins of the child elements?

I want to display contact information in a custom layout. My app lets the user select a contact, then I retrieve key pieces of info on that contact (phone #'s, email addy's, etc). I want to display them to the user so they look grouped logically. Sort of like a series of tables, so phone numbers, then email addys, then organization, etc.
I have a table format that I've been using in a different part of the app where I know the exact number of rows I'm adding and I have defined styles for the rows already. I want to reuse those styles for this data, but android sdk won't allow for you to set the style attribute programmatically.
I could create the tables in code and set all the attributes the same as in my defined styles, but it seems like a lot of extra coding.
I'm dealing with a problem you guys might not have faced earlier. I'm having a use-case in my Android application where the actual screen that I want to show to user is not stored in any layout file of my application. The layout of the of the screen is designed by server in this case, based on selection made by user on first screen.
Let me elaborate here,
1st Screen : List of check box with different biller names. (Imagine I've selected 2 billers from this screen)
2nd Screen : (The screen that server has decided how it should look like)
* Header,
* 1st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 1st Biller TextBox
* Image (a Separator image)
* 2st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 2st Biller TextBox.
* Here there can be a checbox/radio/another TextBox anything.
* Image (a Separator image)
* Button (to submit above form back to server)
I hope makes some sense in what I'm planning to design. The current issues I'm dealing with are as below.

I'm trying to get my first Android app stable enough for the marketplace, and I've hit a brick wall with one exception that I don't understand. Probably I'm doing something stupid, but I can't tell what, and after several hours googling and experimenting, I thought I'd see if I can get some help. My Activity extends ListActivity, and the parts I think are most important are extracted below:
GroupedListAdapter is a simple class that extends BasedAdapter to provide headings for sections of the list (not unlike the Fancy ListView tutorials that are floating around).
I create this in onCreate, and it works fine. Inside onListItemClick, I do some actions which will create a different set of list contents. I "clear" the adapter, which empties the contents, and call reload, which repopulates it. Then I call notifyDataSetChanged.
Most often, this seems to work, but also fairly often, I get the exception following the code snippets below - this seems to indicate the ListView is not in sync with my changes. Lately this crash happens 100% of the time under the simulator.

I have a layout with dynamic content. It has a variable number of textviews. On each textview I have to attach an event, a click event. I have to pass to that event some kind of information to know what textview has been clicked exactly. How can I pass this kind of information or how is the android way to do it?

It seems linear layout stacks with height of it's first element and shrinks second's element height to that. The XML for those is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#FFFFEE"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/thumb"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/example"
android:layout_weight="5"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:text="

</LinearLayout>
How can i make a dynamic flipping screen(like that of iPhone) in Android
I am parsing data through the web service. I want the flipping horizontally rather than vertically. Here is a tutorial where ViewFlipper is used but it is for static data.
Suppose we have 2 activities with their respective xml files: Splash Activity ->splash.xml Menu activity ->menu.xml Now how we can flip between these 2 activities? That is from splash to menu and vice versa.
I tried so many things to relocate buttons of a list. Relocate the current button is working but the older buttons not. To clarify the situation:
There are two Activities (Activity A and B). At Activity A I customize a button and pass it on Activity B via an intent. On Activity B I move the button somewhere on the screen. This will be done with other buttons. On Activity B I also want to show the old Buttons.code..
As above mentioned, I want to move the Buttons and set them somewhere on the screen (e.g. down right). But everytime I call Acitvity B again, all Buttons are located at top left. I thought it would be achieved with .
