I am trying to remove an ImageButton's background in only the default state. I'd like the pressed and selected states to behave as usual so that they look correct on different devices, which use different colors for the pressed and selected states.
Is there any way to set an ImageButton's background default state's drawable without affecting the pressed and selected states?
I've tried to do this with a selector, but it does not appear to allow you to use the default drawables for some states - you have to set all the states yourself. Since there's no API to retrieve the device's default pressed/selected drawables, I don't know what to set the pressed/selected states to.
I also tried getting the StateListDrawable object for the button that the system creates when you are not using a selector and then modify it change the default state. That didn't work either.
I seems that on Android, if you want to change the drawable for one state of a button, then you must set all the states, and thus cannot preserve the default drawables for the other states. Is this correct?
If I was using an ImageButton with a selector for its background, is there a state I can change which will make it change its appearance? Right now I can get it to change images when pressed, but there seems to be no "highlighted" or "selected" or similar state which lets me toggle it's appearance at will.
Here's my XML, it only changes appearance when pressed.

I have a gallery that displays TextViews where the background of each view is the following code...
This selector work just fine for the state_pressed and default (idle) states, but the selected item state is never displayed. I REALLY do not want to force the background of the selected item by changing the background of the view when the onItemSelected event is called. What is the correct state or correct way to get the TextView background to be set properly. Is the selected (center) view in the gallery not really selected? Is there some other state I should put in the selector drawable xml?
In my android app, I have a preferenceScreen with some checkboxes defined in a xml file and a class that implements "SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener". What I want to do is to select a checkbox and all the others to be selected as well. In the above listener I am able to modify the other checkboxes's state to selected, but my view remains unchanged. What should/could I do to achieve this ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to show that a WebView item contained as a item in a ListView is selected? Right now the WebView does not seem to display its contents transparently like every other control so it takes up the entire view and does not show its state as selected.
Also, when the content of the WebView is selected, scrolling down with the track back does not seem to cause the WebView to loose focus. If I continue to scroll down with the track ball, all of a sudden an item in the middle of the ListView gets selected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently making an app which works with images. I need to implement functionality where the user picks a file stored on the SD card. Once they pick the picture (using the Android gallery), the the file-location of the image will be sent to another Activity, where other work will be done upon it. I have seen similar posts here on SD, but none to answer my question specifically. Basically this is the code I am doing when the user clicks the "Load a Picture" button:
// Create a new Intent to open the picture selector:
Intent loadPicture = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
// To start it, run the startActivityForResult() method:
startActivityForResult(loadPicture, SELECT_IMAGE);
From that code, I then have a onActivityResult() method to listen to the call-back:
// If the user tried to select an image: if(requestCode == SELECT_IMAGE) {
// Check if the user actually selected an image: if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
// This gets the URI of the image the user selected: Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
// Create a new Intent to send to the next Activity:
Intent i = new Intent(currentActivty.this, nextActivity.class);
// - Problem Area -
// I would like to send the filename to the Intent object, and send it over.
// However, the selectedImage.toString() method will return a
// "content://" string instead of a file location. How do I get a file
// location from that URI object? i.putExtra("PICTURE_LOCATION", selectedImage.toString());
// Start the activity outlined with the Intent above: startActivity(i);
As the code above states, the uri.toString() will return a content:// string instead of the file location of the selected picture. How do I obtain the file location?
Another possible solution is to send over the content:// string and convert that into a Bitmap (which is what happens in the next Activity). However, I don't know how to do that.
I am trying to create a button that has a custom background in the default state, but that still uses the colors for the pressed/selected states that are particular to whatever device it is running on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a single screen with a bank of buttons below a ListView. Entries on the ListView light up in orange when I scroll so I assume that are selected. When I then press the "Delete" button I want the onClickListener to remove the currently selected entry. But getSelectedItemPosition() always gives me -1. If I can't hope to use the GUI controls in this way, please give me another way of getting the same result.I have even tried setting the onClickListener of the List View to store the index before the button is pressed (in case pressing the button unselects the entry) but even that is always -1 it seems.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can i retrieve the text of a dynamically created radio button
selected by the user? Here's my code...
I created button with some shadow using a style:
<style name="test">
<item name="android:shadowColor">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:shadowRadius">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDx">1</item>
<item name="android:shadowDy">1</item>
</style>
This applies a white shadow on the button's text in its normal state. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to remove this shadow when the button is a pressed state. In other words, is there a way to apply another style when the button is in another (pressed) state?
I am trying to get the button in my layout to have focus as I am programmatically changing its state. My application is a video player using VideoView. I am toggling the state of the button based on where my video is. So basically, I am doing videoview.getCurrentPosition() and if it is in a certain window, I want to toggle my Button state (enabled to disabled and vice versa). The layout is LinearLayout and I have the VideoView and Button layed horizontally. When I first had the MediaController in my Video, the button would change focus on touching the videoview (which is when the MediaController would pop up). I later removed the controller because I didn't want the button state to change when the user touches the screen. I want it to change automatically.
I tried all sorts of combinations possible. button.setFocusable(), button.requestFocus(), button.bringToFront() and so on. But none of them seem to work.
Is there any way I can make it toggle programatically and without user intervention through touch? or is it impossible to do it with the VideoView?
I am trying to toggle button state programatically. I want to go between setEnabled(False) and setEnabled(True) for a given duration. I have a timer and I want to toggle between these states at regular time intervals.
I see that the button toggles correctly the first time, for e.g. from True state to False state, but doesn't go back to True state again unless I touch the button, which is kinda weird.
I'm developing an application which allows user to edit an image and save that edited image as new image on sd card I want to get the current state of the canvas object.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anybody please guide me how to write the code for opening the new image after clicking the imagebutton in android. I have tried something like this:
package com.example.imageButton;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View; import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class imageButton extends Activity {
private static ImageButton seqIBtn;//these are the three imageButton private static ImageButton vidIBtn;private static ImageButton infoIBtn; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); seqIBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnSequence); vidIBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnVideo); infoIBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnInfo);}
I was wondering if it is possible to use a similar approach to change the style attribute of an element using the same (or similar) technique.Or, if that is not possible, how can the style attribute be changed during runtime (there is no such thing as button.setStyle(R.style.button)).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android and just starting the very basics. I implement my custom button skin using .9.png images for norma/focus/pressed states. It works fine, but I noticed that after a pressed the focussed button it visually "lost" focus and draws the normal state frame. I planned to use different state images to highloght what button is selected right now, but it seems that it would not work. I noticed also that the same happens with the default LAF button. Is it OK, or it's just emulator issue? What the good workaroud can be used?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue related to home key . when i press home key all current activity gets hidden. but when i press the executable it again starts from the fisrt screen . I have overidden all methods nsaveInstaceState opPause onStop onResume
but there are still issues what is the right way to handle those conditions. When i am pressing home button i am storing the widgets state in database and when i again click the exectable i am checking the database state and starting the new Intent as saved when user presses the home button .Is it the right way to do that as i am facing the problem when user does the same and again presses the back button , there is already on intent available in stack of activity .
I am working on my App. in between i pressed the Home button on the device. my app will go to the background tasks. After that i long press the home button it will show my app as a persistent state. i.e where and what i had done in my app. But i click my app in the directory window it restarts my app. i want to do if my app is in the background tasks it will wake up else it will start. how to achieve that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I press the home button when Im in the root task of my application and when I click on the icon of my app again the state of my task (activity) is retained, but when i press the back button on the emulator and when I open my application its state is not retained. I want the state to be retained in both the scenarios.
In the mnifest I have given the below entries,
android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true" for the root activity
android:launchMode="singleTask" for the application
I have noticed while working in the emulator that whenever i get out of my app via any method other than pressing the back button, my toggle button (if pressed) will have its state saved and return to that state when i return to the app. im guessing its because its value gets saved in a bundle and reloaded when i return. when i leave the app via the back button, this does not happen and the toggle is always off when i return. is there any way to get the value of the toggle back if the user leaves via the back button, without having to save the value in a db table? alternatively, if my apps notification is in the status bar, i can be confident that the toggle should always be selected, so if there is no way to save the state, is there a way to find out if my apps notification is currently being displayed? then it would be easy to just set the toggle each time via a quick check of the status bar.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using a <Button> widget in one of my layout. I created this button in disabled state. A thin white line runs through the button, at center horizontal, while it is in disabled state. And in enabled state it is normal like any other widgets.
Below is the layout code:
CODE:....................
I have to develop one android application.
Here is the scenario:There are many images in a linearlayout. When selected, the layout should be displayed with another(gradient_bg_hover.xml) background. This works well now.
Now, I would like that when I open a new activity and come back to this one, the last selected layout should still be the highlighted one (with the (gradient_bg_hover.xml) background).
Now i have used below code for highlighting the image when pressed:
[HIGH]
LinearLayout ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
ar.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#666666")) ;
[Code]...
In OnClick function i have wrote the below code:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
v.setSelected(true);
[Code]...
Here i have to clicked one item means it is go to next activity.afterthat i have clicked back button means the selected item is stay on highlighted with another background.afterthat i have selected another item means its go to next activity.now i have to click back button means these item only highlight with background....but the pervious item also highlighted....
I wish to need the o/p like :
The last selected item only highlighted after click the back button...
So i have used sharedpreferences :
I have declared int prevPosition = -1; globally...
[HIGH]
ar = new LinearLayout(this);
ar.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
ar.setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3);
ar.setLayoutParams(artiLayoutParams);
ar.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
[Code]...
In Onclick method:
[HIGH]
private OnClickListener mArticleClick = new OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick ( View v )
{
int object = v.getId();
[Code]...
But my background color is not staying after press the back button...
I have an Activity with a list that is bound to a ListAdapter reading data into a ArrayList from a database. All is well when the data is first loaded. While the Activity is open and the list is being displayed it is possible and likely that the data in the database will be updated by a service but the list does not reflect the changes because the ArrayList does not know about the changes. If the Activity is no longer in the foreground as would be the case if the user goes to the home screen and then is brought back to the foreground I would like for the Activity to not display what it did prior but rather reload the data using the ListAdapter the view is bound to. I think something needs to call finish() but I am not sure what.
This is what I have in the Activity.

I have a compound UI component built up from a ViewGroup containing a number of TextView, ImageView etc. components. Many of these have StateListDrawables as their images/backgrounds. Is there any way of making them select from this drawable based on the state of the parent ViewGroup rather than the component itself? Ideally I want to be able to change the visual state of all children of the ViewGroup (text colour, image etc) based on the state of the ViewGroup, preferably without having to hook up complex logical code. This seems like a fairly common sort of requirement, so I was hoping it would be straightforward in Android - am I going to be disappointed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a little confused by what I'm seeing with regards to phone state transitions via the PhoneStateListener. When I receive a call, this is what happens: (call comes in) RINGING -> IDLE (I pick up) OFFHOOK (I hang up) IDLE It's that first transition from RINGING to IDLE without any interaction from me (not ending the call, not answering the call) that confuses me. Do I really have to implement an idle counter to know that an incoming call has really ended? Seems like the reported phone state represents some sort of phone state that isn't the obvious one.Is this a bug or am I just not in tune with the paradigm here?
