I have a listview that Display some Categories on it from my server, it works fine but when i change Orientation it Reload it...
What Should i do to Avoid Reload ?
I have an activity with multiple list views that are continuously receiving new values form a socket thread, another thread parses the data and updates the array adapters, then the ui thread calls notifyDataSetChanged() to cause the list to refresh.
My issue is that im refreshing all the list a couple of time a second, this causes the UI to be very laggy when some animations need to happen.
I was wondering what the best way is to update multiple lists with multiple value changes every second?
I am trying to change the color on a specific row depending on different states. This is the code i have at the moment. code...
The code kinda works..but it changes all the rows. Any ideas?
I am having a weird issue. I have an ArrayAdapter which I am sorting. This displays properly on my screen, however when I check the actual data source, the contents have not been sorted. How can I ensure that sorting my ListAdapter will also sort my data source?
CODE:....
This shows that my data source hasn't been updated, even though my ListAdapter presents my ListView in the correctly sorted order.
For example:
If my data source is [10,9,1,20] after sorting my ListView will show [1,9,10,20] but the data source will still be [10,9,1,20]
I have a notification that starts my activity and passes a messages using the intent's putExtra() function. The message is then displayed to the user in the activity's onCreate function. When the application is restarted due to a orientation change, the message is shown again as it is still in the intent's bundled data.
How can I remove the extra data?
I tried the following:
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle.getBoolean("showMessage")) {
// ... show message that is in bundle.getString("message")
// remove message
bundle.remove("showMessage");
}
But the message will still be shown after the orientation changed, seems like the intent used is not the one I changed, but the original one. The only workaround I found is to save the showMessage additionally in onSaveInstanceState(). Is there another way? Or is this the way to go?
On a click event I create a thread and start a long-running operation based on this method. After the long-running task is completed, it does a callback to another method, which does a post to the handler:
@Override
public void contentSearchModelChanged(Model_ContentSearch csm, ArrayList<Class_Reminder> newRemindersList) {
remindersList = newRemindersList;
mHandler.post(mUpdateDisplayRunnable);
}...........
This works beautifully when I do this normally. However, if I change the orientation while the long-running operation is running, it doesn't work. It does make the callback properly, and the remindersList does have items in it. But when it gets to this line:
r_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Nothing happens. The odd thing is, if I do another submit and have it run the whole process again (without changing orientation), it actually updates the view twice, once for the previous submit and again for the next. So the view updates once with the results of the first submit, then again with the results of the second submit a second later. So the adapater DID get the data, it just isn't refreshing the view. I know this has something to do with the orientation change, but I can't for the life of me figure out why. can anyone suggest an alternative method of handling threads with orientation changes?
Currently my ListView is filling up with the given String[] but I wanted to alternate some styles on the ListView items. Something weird is happening (I'm surely missing something obvious); The ListView Index is not fixed and the styles are not alternating as supposed. My Code is the following:
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;..................
I have a list (of messages) and I want to give the user the ability to remove these items from the list. I have extended an ArrayAdapter and give it an ArrayList of my messages and would like to simply remove an item from that list and then refresh the listview instead of reloading the entire list of sent messages. The problem is, if there's only one message and I remove it using listAdapter.remove(messageObject), the adapter is still calling getView and then throwing NullPointerExceptions all over the place. I'm not sure what the best way is to go about this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to create a listview with rows that have an image and two textviews. This must be a very common activity but I can't find a class/or source code that does this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created an activity for my game which handles all orientation changes by itself and has a fixed "portrait" layout. Actually it uses the accelerometer and is rendered using 2D canvas methods. If the level has been completed I show up a highscore dialog in which the user can enter his name. The dialog is floating above the underlying level screen which gets blurred out nicely. This generally works.
Problem is that the dialog does not get rotated if the orientation of the phone changes. So even if the keyboard is exposed the dialog is shown in portrait mode instead of landscape. I have tried to use an activity with dialog theme instead but the behavior didn't change. After several tries it seems that I have found the reason for this: Once there's an activity with fixed orientation in the activity stack then all subsequent activities keep this orientation, too. They will not react on orientation changes anymore (e.g. if the keyboard gets exposed).
After upgrading to 1.5 SDK the described behavior changed a little bit. Now at subactivities indead react on orientation changes like expected. However, the need to have an opaque background! That means that neither dialogs nor activities with dialog theme will work. Those will stick with the orientation of the underlaying activity. So my workaround is to first start a sub-activity with an opaque black background. This activity then shows my highscore dialog on top. It looks quite okay but I wonder if there's a better solution? Is it possible to show a dialog above a fixed portrait or landscape activity which automatically adapts to orientation changes?
I have an Android ListView, backed by an ArrayAdapter. When the user clicks on an item in the list, that item is removed. This all appears to work fine, you can click on each item until there are no items left.
However, it all goes wrong once text filtering occurs. Once the list has been filtered once, even if that filter is cleared, all subsequent calls to remove(Object) on the adapter fail to remove the item from the visible list. I've tried calling ListView.clearTextFilter() before removing the item, calling it after removing the item, and not calling it all. There's no difference.
I've looked through the source for ArrayAdapter.java and it seems that once filtering is set, the adapter uses one collection to respond to queries but updates a different one. I can see no obvious way to get it to revert its behaviour. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
I juststarted programming in android a few weeks ago, so I am not entirely sure how to deal with listing values. I have some questions regarding displaying data sets from db in a list. Currently I have a cursor returned by my db points to a list of rows and I want display 2 columns values in a single row of the list.
The row xml looks like this:
CODE:...............
so I was thinking using simplecursoradapter which supposedly makes my life easier by displaying the data in a list. However that is only true if I want to display the raw data. For the purpose of my program I need to do some computations on the raw data sets, then display them. I am not sure how to do that using SimpleCursorAdapter.
Here's how I display the raw data:
CODE:.........
Is there a way to do computation on the data in those rows before I bind it with the SimpleCursorAdapter? I was trying to use an alternative way of doing this by using arraylist and arrayadapter, but that way I dont know to how achieve displaying 2 items in a single row.
This is my code for using arrayadapter which only display 1 text in a row instead of 2 textviews in a row:
CODE:.......
It's very obvious that it only displays one textview in a row because I set the second arrayadapter overwrites the first one! I was trying to use R.id.text1 and R.id.text2 for them, but it gave me some errors saying 04-23 01:40:58.658: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3309): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f070008 type #0x12 is not valid.
I have a ListView that I want to use with an ArrayAdapter to add different styled rows. The rows are created on different states in my application, and depending on the different states the rows should be styled(like colors and stuff). Here is some pseudo-code:
on creation:
mArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.message);
mView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.in);
mView.setAdapter(mArrayAdapter);
On different states, which is triggered by another thread using a MessageHandler, add a row to the list containing a message: mArrayAdapter.add("Message");
This works fine, messages are popping up in the list depending on different states, but I want to have the rows styled differently. How to do this? Is the solution to create a custom ArrayAdapter with a custom Add() method?
Often, a simple of ArrayAdapter does what I want and during early development I will provide the android.R.simple_list_item_1 for the view id required by the ArrayAdapter constructor. Is it possible to provide a customized view which is based on the android.R.simple_list_item_1 to the ArrayAdapter constructor?
I do not fully understand Android's 'include' functionality, but what I would like to do is something like:
Define a new TextView based on customizing the android.R.simple_list_item_1.
(I have no idea what the valid syntax would be)
code...
Reference my customized TextView. I assume that something like this would go into my layout directory. Then in my code I would do something like:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.id.MyTextView, null);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, view.getId(), myArrayOfData);
Is this possible and if it is, what is the appropriate syntax to accomplish what I want?
I'm new to android programming and I would like some help. I have the following code:
Object[] list_cities = parsedData.getCityname().toArray();
Object[] list_countries = parsedData.getCountryname().toArray();
// Display the available locations
list_search.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Object>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, android.R.id.text1, list_cities));
list_search.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Object>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, android.R.id.text2, list_countries));
I would like to display double rows for each entry in the list (city and country) but I have no luck. With the above code I only see the countries but not the cities. Is there any way to add both the adapters to the list_search so I can see all the data?
I have a widget which has say, a dimension of 294*72(portrait). But when the orientation is changed, I need to change this dimension of the widget to another dimension which would look good on the landscape orientation.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Activity with ListView inside it and in the onCreate method of the Activity I have code for populating the Data of the ListView this Data is a server based and so populating includes calling Network URLs. I have the ArrayAdapter of the ListView in the Same Activity Class.
Now the Issue I'am facing is that, in Rest all scenarios my Activity is behaving in a proper way but when the Orientation [ Portrait to Landscaped or other way round] is taking place the Data is Getting lost and Newer Data calls are Required to Populate the Same Old Data now this is something that is not intended out the code how should I deal with it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a very green android developer and need some help with a strange program crash. Often the program will run just fine. There is an equal chance it will fail (see stack at the end). I can watch the program run through the getView function and everything seems in order (i.e. all the information is there as expected and passes through convertView seemingly fine). Either it will go through a few times and then program will be A-OK or it will fail as seen below and I have not been able to pick out what causes the crash. Even stranger is that if I hold the phone in landscape mode, it will never fail!! It only fails about 50% of the time in portrait orientation.

I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making an Android app which is currently coming along nicely - I've hit upon a couple of stumbling blocks.
1) How do I stop the screen from going dim/off and the phone locking while the application is running?
2) Can I force the phone to enter landscape mode on running my application?
My app *sometimes* when orientation change, leaks Activities (getInstanceCount() increases from time to time) and i cannot figure out where references to my Activity or rather Context are kept - tried to use jhat but it couldn't help me much.
what is strange: it doesn't always happen on orientation change, so its even harder to fix.
btw when doing normal app life cycle - start, do something, exit - everything is ok - getInstanceCount() always returns 1.
I have an activity that checks stuffs online when it's created (is the GPS on and if not it asks if the user wants to turn it on).
The problem I'm having is that it is also doing it everytime I change the orientation of the screen.
I've read some comments on onConfigurationChanged() but is there a better way to be sure I'm checking the GPS only when the activity is first created?
built a simple app that displays an alertDialog with two buttons.The problem is it's not getting dismissed when i change orientation. After change i get a leak warning on debugger and the dialog appears twice(pressing back hides the first dialog, only a second back dismisses it completely).
