Is it possible use the merge tag in the layout XML for a List item? In particular, when using a SimpleCursorAdapter?
I have a layout I want to reuse, it looks like:
CODE:..........
It is in a file called "reuseme.xml". Now I have an activity layout, which like the following, how can I incorporate the layout above into it?:
CODE:..........
It seems that's possible, but I'm not sure how to use the merge tag to accomplish it?
As you already know, in Twiiter application, twitt content stays in the right hand side of the Username, and in second line, the twitt content stays back to the left of the parent layout. (which is similar to the Listview item's layout of Facebook Application)
My problem is the username and twitt content belong to 2 different columns. Could you please tell me the way to fix the problem?
I have a ListView whose rows are formatted by me. Each row has a mix of ImageView and TextView. I have also implemented my own adapter and am able to draw each row through it.
Now, I would want something like this-
User clicks on an ImageView (not anywhere else on the row, but only this ImageView should respond to clicks)
I get to know the position of the row whose ImageView was clicked.
I have tried many things for this and have wanted my code to be as efficient as possible (in terms of overkill).
Currently i can capture the click event on that particular ImageView only, but I can't know which row was clicked.
I have provided an attribute in the Row XML like this-
CODE:..................
And in my code, I have a method like this:
CODE:..............
I can get the parent row (perhaps) but am not sure how to go further from here.
How to delete an item from a ListView.
I have a layout which includes the listview, an edittext and a button. On button click, the edittext's string is added to the listview. Clicking on a listview item opens a dialog which asks for confirmation to delete that item. When confirmation is received, the item appears to delete. But when the delete button is clicked on another item, the item deletes, but the previous item reappears in its spot. From my limited understanding, I assume that the item doesn't delete from the SharedPreferences, and so when they are loaded again, the item reappears. I've tried clearing the SharedPreferences before saving after delete, but this didn't work (though I could've been doing it wrong).
I've included the whole class incase to test it out in IDE. I understand there are a lot of unneeded objects and the code is quite messy which is a result of me screwing around with the code to try and get this to work. Though everything works as it should, aside from deletion.

I am using a ListView to display my custom item layout, which may contain some TextViews and an ImageView.
This is the item layout I made (post_item.xml):
CODE:........................
I don't put the ImageView initially in the xml layout, but I will insert it when I need to the FrameLayout programmatically (I also put another views in it when needed). So, there will be some items which has ImageView in it and which don't.
I get the image to fill the ImageView from the Internet (through URL), decode it as Bitmap, and keep it as a Bitmap variable in a class represents the custom item layout (class PostItem).
When the activity shows for the first time it looks fine, but as I scrolled through the items then a problem showed up, the items which shouldn't show any image show the image from the other item which should, although they don't have any ImageView (because I didn't insert it).
I am using SDK 1.6 and the emulator. Haven't tried it in real device because I don't have it.
Here is my code for the Adapter:
CODE:..............
And this is the code to prepare the items:
CODE:.........................
Is this the bug in the emulator or there is some mistake in my code (probably memory problem for the Bitmap)?
Is there a way to include one resource in another (for example a header design in multiple activities' layouts). I know I can add it at run time, can it be done in the XML?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm interested in instantiating a LinearLayout object from an xml file that has a LinearLayout file configuration. I want to do this within a method of my Activity. I tried findViewById() but that returned null. I've made sure that the LinearLayout id is the one I'm passing. Note that this layout isn't part of my screen, it's stand-alone, so I want to build a LinearLayout object from the xml.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis seems like a simple problem to me, but I can't figure it out. I have a fullscreen layout that displays differently if the screen is taller (854 instead of 800 pixels). I've tried putting the xml into layout-notlong-hdpiand layout-long-dpi respectively, but both my WVGA and FWVGA emulators go for the "long" version (as described in the doc).
Is there any way to distinguish between the two besides using the deprecated -800x480/-854x480 qualifiers?
I have created a custom list item layout just like in this article http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-efficie....
Each list item has icon, title and summary.
I would like to declare an xml resource that would provide data for that list. Just like you use <string-array> to populate the list using ArrayAdapter<String>.
The simple ArrayAdapter<String> can be populated from:
CODE:..........
I need each <item> to have icon, title and summary. Somewhat similar to:
CODE:..........
I would use <menu> but menu doesn't have summary if I'm not mistaken.
How to add ListView to MapView from the xml resource ?
In order words, I am trying to make a screen contains google MapView and ListView.
Because impossible to extends 2 Activitys' (ListActivity & MapActvity), I am trying to add a ListView(It is created from xml resource) to MapView.
Looking in the android sdk folders, I've found a file called values/config.xml. This seems to be somewhere that you can define values for later use in layouts and animations.
Given the config.xml:
<resources>
<string name="config_somePadding">50dip</string>
</resources>
How would I reference this to use as the layout_height in a layout xml file?
@string/config_somePadding is actually the only one I've found that doesn't throw an error in Eclipse (even though there isn't a config_somePadding in values/strings.xml), but it appears to just put an empty string.
In the sdk, they use an integer for animation duration. They reference it like this: android:duration="@android:integer/config_longAnimTime". Is there a way to use values that aren't integers in the layout_height attribute?
I need to display a list of categories from a ListActivity. My data source is a ArrayList of type Category which is implementing the android Parcelable interface. stucture is given at the bottom. it has an id and a title
I need title to be displayed as list text and on clicking the list item, i need to get the id for further processing
It is possible to create a new array of 'title's by iterating the category ArrayList and use
CODE:..........
But bu using this method i will get only the title of the category upon click and not the id.
Is it possible to directly use the ArrayList of objects as data source?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an issues, I want to show 20 items in the list.
But there is a catch: if the user scrolls down to the bottom of the list, there will be an item that says: "Show more items", and when the users click on it, more items will be added to the list.
My question is how is poosible to have a last item, that has a different style and looks different: and does different things,(I think this is used in QuickSearchbox)
Now i want the first item of the list to be automatically focused when i launch the application How can i set the focus on any item of the list when i click on the some other view for example a button?
