May 27, 2009is it possible to have line breaks or more generally styled text (eg.html) on button?

is it possible to have line breaks or more generally styled text (eg.html) on button?
Is it possible to generate android styled javadocs for my android project (like http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html, instead of http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/String.html) Is it something regarding using of some custom doclet instead of standard doclet? If yes, then which one I have to use?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set the Text of a Text View when a button is clicked.
I have been struggling, because the variable will increment, but If i put the code in to set the text, it crashes the app ?
Here is my code when it crashes:
Quote:
package com.example.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
[Code].....
however if I comment out the line
Quote:
score.setText(points);
, the app doesnt crash, but it doesnt do anything then.
I have few buttons on the content. When I click on one button, I want to change the text of the button. 2-- Then I want to change the content view.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to display the text for some buttons vertically "down the screen" instead of horizontally. I don't want the orientation of the letters to change just the direction in which the letters are printed. Is there any way to achieve this, other than creatng a drawable that has the letters in this format and using it as a background? I guess I'd need to center the letters horizontally as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to create Buttons that contain both an Image and Text (image on top text below or image left and text right)? And how can this be done within a xml layout file? For example, the application 'Pkt Auctions eBay' (see Android Market) has these type of buttons.So far I have tried and googled all over and found nothing on the matter. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIve just started fooling around with programming my Motorola Droid. I'm programmatic ally laying out an interface such that the text contained in my Button is sized at layout time to fit the button.My questions are:
(1) I know the pixel size of the button, what is the best way to set the text size to fit the button size?
(2) I can't seem to get it to center.I've tried a Gravity of 11 and that helps, but ist still not right.How do I get my text to center itself properly horizontally and vertically in the button?
How do I change the text on a button at run-time?This code doesn't appear to do anything, what am I doing wrong.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can i rotate a view and keep it like that. I have tried the Animation method discuss in the following discussion thread.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
this works fine for the animation, but it does not handle the key press events itself.my requirement is simple, I need to show a text on a button upside down. Somewhat as if the parent view is drawn landscape and button is portrait.
I have...
PNG file for Background
PNG file for Icon (drawableTop)
Text I want to put underneath this Button
It's similar to a Menu Icon. How to do that? I only found following ways. Both of them arent very nice:
Make two Buttons, one for Text one for the Picture
The Background PNG File needs a transparent area at the bottom in the size of the text.
I have an Edit Text that is defined as follows.

I want to set a custom command so that when somebody clicks on the Done/Go button on the onscreen keyboard a button is clicked or just run the methods that are run by the button. I think this has something to do with ime options but I havent been able to figure out how they work.
One of the new phones has "the button" for instant select sender then speech to text. Big hands little kbd / dang near blind = fail. Is there an app that does the same for my Hero and will it speak my messages back to me. Sure would make my life easier.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA 'Button' view comes up with text, while the 'ImageButton' widget comes up with an image but no text, is there a way to relatively easily (e.g. method calls, say), either:
1. Add text to ImageButton (like those buttons that appear in menu item/via the physical menu button)?
2. Add an icon/image to a Button?
without resorting to constructing a new button class? I.e. I could put text within the image, but then I can't use Localization properly/effectively.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image. If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android: drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display). One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?
I'm trying to create standard button in android with a background and some text in front but some fairly specific alignment. I want the text to be centered vertically and on the left with 20dp of padding. The alignment works but the padding doesn't. I know I could probably get the desired effect by putting a few spaces in the text but that seems like a hack and next I want to do a similar thing but with the text at the top so I would prefer a more elegant solution. Here's what I have:
<Button
android:layout_width="312dp"
android:layout_height="95dp"
android:id="@+id/gv_music_button"
android:text="Music"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
/>

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to layout a button with Drawable image on the top of it and text below the image. I am very new to this so please use detailed instructions.I have not experimented with drawable images yet so I want to clarify before I continue.If I want to above the text (ie the text is not on the image) how do I go about doing this? I also want the text to be centered in below and (working without the drawable) there is a gravity command for center-horizontal and bottom. This made an error. Appreciate the help and remember I am a beginner to Eclipse and Java.
