View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: PNG 24 With Gradient / Not Showing Correctly
Jun 5, 2009I have a LinearLayout and I am setting a Background image. I am using a PNG24, and the image has a gradient in it. When I see the image on the computer the gradient is perfect, but when I see it on the emulator or on a real phone, some colors are lost and I see only like 10 colors, so I see lines and not a perfect gradient. Is the emulator 'compressing' the images? Should I make them in other format?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Alpha Gradient On Bitmap Of PNG
Dec 11, 2009I'm trying to apply an Alpha gradient to a bitmap that I've created from a PNG. I want the image to be opaque at the top and fade to transparent at the bottom. I know this can be done be using getPixels and setPixels for Bitmap and iterating through each row of pixels in the Bitmap and setting the alpha values accordingly, but i was hoping there was a slightly neater way of doing this. I have been looking at the LinearGradient Class and using a Porter Duff transfer mode, but i don't seem to be having much luck with this. It seems that my source image is lost when i apply the Shader to the drawable. Anyone have any tips on how i might apply an alpha gradient to a bitmap?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Smooth Gradient On Different Devices
Jul 26, 2010In my app i have gradient as drawable which i am using as background and i want it to make it look as smooth as possible. After googling and trying by myself i came up with the following. On nexus one if you call only setDither(true) your gradient is still banding so you have to set PixelFormat like this Window.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888). But on the other side G1 does not support RGBA_8888 so calling it make the gradient even uglier than before so Window.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888) will not work well on devices that don't support it.What is the correct way smooth my gradient on all devices on which my app will run.

Sep 21, 2009I have got another mysterious issue. So, I am setting a background image for LinearLayout. This image contains gradient. Don't know why, but after I launch application the image appears to consist of several parts that actually form "smooth transition" of gradient, and that's why it seems that background image is not a gradient.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Gradient Banding On High DPI Devices
Nov 2, 2009I've been looking at some issues with the background of our application, particularly on high-density devices (240 dpi, 480x854). I managed to eliminate banding on existing devices (i.e. G1/G2, 160 dpi) by applying the android:dither="true" attribute to our nine-patch image, which is a 1x480px PNG with no noise added. Looks great. However, if I use the same image on a higher resolution device, the banding is pretty nasty looking. Same happens regardless of whether I use a shape+gradient, a noisy nine-patch PNG, or an android:dithered nine-patch PNG -- even if I create an 854px-tall image. Is the use of gradients going to become a problem on high screen density devices, purely because of the display colour depth, or is there any way to solve this?

Sep 23, 2010I have a gray gradient drawable (png image in res/drawable). If I draw it on a white Canvas it looks banded (not smooth). If I put the gradient on white background in GIMP, and then draw this drawable on the Canvas, it looks great. What's the problem? I tested this on Nexus One. Calling setDither(true) on the drawable has no noticable effect.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Add Padding To Gradient <shape> In Phone
Oct 25, 2009I have a shape with a gradient that I'm using as a divider between ListView items. I've defined it as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ccd0d3"
android:centerColor="#b6babd"
android:endColor="#ccd0d3"
android:height="1px"
android:angle="0" />
</shape>
I would like to add 6 pixels of padding on either side of the gradient, so that it doesn't extend from edge to edge of the screen.
However, no matter where I put an android:left="6px" and android:right="6px", it doesn't seem to take effect. I can put it in the <shape> element, the <gradient> element, or in a separate <padding> child of <shape>, and it doesn't change anything.
How can I add padding on the left and right of my list divider?
Android :: Gradient Styles - Not Working On The Outer-most LinearLayout
Aug 10, 2010In my Android application I've hidden the default title bar, introduced a TabView and added my own titlebar under that TabView's tabs. At the moment, I'm using the ?android:attr/windowTitleStyle style which makes my new titlebar look gray and gradient. It looks pretty good, but my screens are looking pretty grayscale. I'd like to spice things up a bit by making this titlebar a different color gradient.
What am I looking at here? Creating my own image and using it? The ?android:attr/windowTitleStyle style seems to expand depending on the height of your custom titlebar; so I'm not sure it's actually a single image.
I've attempted to throw a LinearLayout over it with a bit of translucency (ex: making the color #800000FF), but the gradient style I have behind this LinearLayout disappears.
Update:
Per my answer down below, I've figured out that I can create an XML file that defines a gradient and use that. It works fine inside a LinearLayout (titlebar_gradient) I have on my layout. However, it is not working on the outer-most LinearLayout (background_gradient). Could someone tell me why? As I understand it, the ListView should be transparent...

Android :: Using Linear Gradient As Background Looks Banded / Reduce This "behavior"?
May 28, 2010I'm trying to apply a linear gradient to my ListView.
This is the content of my drawable xml code...

Is there any way to reduce this "behavior"?

Android :: Pros - Cons Of Multiple Activities In An App Vs One Activity - Multiple Views
Aug 16, 2010Are there design guidelines to help decide if an application with multiple views should be designed with multiple activities or just one activity and control the back button itself.
I've tried both. My most complex applications using one activity per screen. However, now that I'm successfully written an app with just one activity and handling the back button myself, I don't see any compelling reason to use multiple activities. The one activity application is much simpler and more straightforward.
What advantages of multiple activities am I missing?

Android :: Should App's With Multiple Layouts Have Multiple Activities To Handle Each
Jul 1, 2010I'm planning to develop and app that presents the users with several different screens (of different information).
Was wondering what would be the best way to implement this?
Is it better to have separate XML layouts and an activity to display and allow the user to interact with each screen of data?
OR would handling all of these in the same activity be more efficient (and dynamically load / unload each layout)?
