In my code I add an OnItemSelectedListener to the ListView like this:

my Activity implements the listener like that:

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 Related1. 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?"
CODE:..........
I want to catch how much the listView is scrolled, so I extend ListView. I am able to scroll the list. But OnScrollChanged is not called. For ScrollView and HorizontalScrollView OnScrollChanged is called whenever it scrolls. Which function is triggered when we scroll a ListView.
I have a ListView and to create context menu I need to know what view created the menu. The View parameter of onCreateContextMenu is always the same and equals the first view in ListView. Is there any way to get position or id of view that called onCreateContextMenu?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having problems when scrolling a ListView. Each item in the ListView shows an image downloaded from internet.Whenever I scroll the ListView, it calls the method getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent), causing the image to be downloaded again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView whose position should be changed automatically along with the data. So, when the adapter's data has changed (adapter is calling notifyDataSetInvalidated), I'm calling setSelection. This has no effect. If the call to setSelection is done later (e.g. in a click handler) it is working.
The second problem is, that the ListView maintains the scroll position of the list although the data is completely invalidated, that makes no sense IMO.
It looks like a call to layoutChildren before the call to setSelection does help in this case, but layoutChildren is protected.
What is the correct way to do this?
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".
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
android:id="@+id/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 am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:
firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);
What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?
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.
I would like to change text and back ground color of my Listview without building custom rows. Is this possible ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere must be a way to do this. How can you tell a ListView that has a header to not scroll it when the user scrolls the contents? I want it to stay in a "stuck" position so that the user can always see what column the content applies to.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've created a simple android game, based on the Lunar Lander sample, and I'm having a problem with handling key events.When the activity starts, the only keys that onKeyDown or onKeyUp get called for are the dpad up/down/left/right keys.Neither the menu, back, or dpad_center keys trigger onKey methods. However, once I've pushed one of the dpad up/down/left/right buttons, pressing the menu, back, or dpad_center keys do trigger these methods. I'm not getting any errors, or any indication of what's going wrong.It's possible that the focus is set wrong - the activity is started from a button on screen, so it could be in touchscreen mode. If that's the case, shouldn't touching the back button get me in to the right focus mode so that I can catch the event?I'm using the emulator from SDK-1.5r3.I have not been able to try this on a real phone yet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an application which allocates lot of memory and hence I'm bound to get OutOfMemory. I want a way to get notified when system is running short of memory so that I can stop processing further, notify user and release as much memory as possible.
According to official Android documentation there is a callback onLowMemory from the system. I have a class which extends android.app.Application and I have overridden onLowMemory() method. This class has entry in the in the application tag of AndroidManifest. However it never gets called in my case. Do I need to register for this event using AndroidManifest or any other means?
In one of my applications I programmatically open the context menu when something is clicked in my MapActivity overlay. This works perfectly under 1.x as well as on my 2.0 Milestone. I've used showContextMenuForChild() historically, but openContextMenu() does that same thing.
As expected onCreateContextMenu() is called to build the menu and then onContextItemSelected() is called when something is selected. So far all is well.
The odd thing is that under 1.x the onContextMenuClosed() method is called when I press the back key, but not so under 2.0. This confuses states for my app since I need to know whether menu is shown or not - or maybe there is a way to know this that I have not (yet) figured out...
Is this a deliberate change or should I file it as a bug? Googling comes up pretty dry (stuff that is over a year old).
Anyone with a 2.0.1 Droid that would care to test whether this has already been fixed? (The ETA for Milestone 2.0.1 seems hazy still, but it appears that at least one of my reported bugs has been fixed in 2.0.1 event though it isn't flagged as such.)
Is there a way to make sure onSurfaceCreated is called only once during startup.
Currently in my app it gets called once with say 800x480 then it gets called a second time with 480x800. I guess this is probably due to a call to setRequestedOrientation in onCreate. Is there any way to make sure the app starts in a particular orientation, to prevent orientation changes, and to have onSurfaceCreated get called only once during start up?
I have over-loaded the onFocusChanged() in my classes which inherits from LinearLayout.

i use a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor combined with a ThreadFactory, their all combined should cause an unchaught Exception to be logged so that i can see what happening if any thread is dying in the ThreadPool:
threadPool = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(poolSize, new ThreadFactory());

public Thread newThread(final Runnable r) { final Thread thread = new Thread(r); thread.setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new ThreadLogger()); final int counter = count.getAndIncrement(); final String name = threadName + counter; thread.setName(threadName + counter); if (Logging.isLoggingEnabled()) { Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Thread created :" + name); } return thread; }

Am I right to assume that onSaveInstanceState() is not normally called (which my logging indicates) - but only when the system is forced to kill an Activity. If so, since onPause() does not receive a bundle, what is the best way to save state that should be restored the next time the Activity is created?

I'm trying to start activity by sweeping across the screen, it works fine for all the other screens, just this screen that doesn't fire the onTouch at all? Would you mind helping me?

I defined an EditText-field and I want to be informed when the user edits that fields.
So I thought: simple - I add an OnKeyListener and so I did. But even though the text field gets edited (and even displays the entered/modified text) I don't get any callback, i.e. the LOG-output doesn't show up.

why that callback is never called?
Android is really full of oddities! It seems that almost nothing I touched so far worked immediatly as one would expect. And - believe it or not - I have LOTS of experience with GUIs, esp. in Java (AWT, Swing, SWT, you name it...) But Android is a really tough beast!
I want to know the context in which getContentResolver() is called ?
I have a scenario like this : I have an activity A that calls a method myFunc() of class B whcih is not an activity. So, in class B I have to use getContentResolver(). I directly called getContentResolver(). It was showing error. Then I called myFunc(Acitivy act) from the activity and called act.getContentResolver() which solved my problem. My question is is this the only way to call getContentResolver(), which means it can be used in context with activity or can be used alone.
