I need a textview with multiple drawables at bottom. In android, I know that there is a possibility of giving one image drawable for bottom. But i need multiple to be drawable at bottom.

I want to use a number of ShapeDrawables in my application, which are all similar, but with different colours etc. Obviously I could just define them all in separate xml files, but is there a more efficient way to have one xml definition, instantiate various objects and change the colour either in code or xml? You could perhaps do this by calling mutate() on one ShapeDrawable defined in xml, but this returns a Drawable, rather than a shape drawable.

I have a TextView and I'd like to add a black border along its top and bottom borders. I tried adding android:drawableTop and android:drawableBottom to the TextView, but that only caused the entire view to become black.

Is there a way to easily add a top and bottom border to a View (in particular, a TextView) in Android?
I am very new to android,i developed an sample web application and hosted it apk build file in different android version and on different sized devices,here i am getting problem in my design of layout such as listview not being displayed properly bottom portion is not displayed well and the align is not so good.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a textview to display some text and I would like different parts of the text to be shown in different colours, e.g. first half of the text in red, second in blue. I cant seem to find a way of doing this. I have heard of using Html.fromHtml() but I am not exactly sure how to do it this way.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if its possible to set multiple styles for different pieces of text inside a TextView. For instance, I am setting the text as follows:
CODE:...........................
Now, is it possible to have a different style for each text element? I mean bold for line1, normal for word1 and so on...
I found this http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#selectingtext:
Get our EditText object. EditText vw = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
Set the EditText's text. vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.");
If this were just a TextView, we could do: vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); to force it to use Spannable storage so styles can be attached. Or we could specify that in the XML.
Get the EditText's internal text storage. Spannable str = vw.getText();
Create our span sections, and assign a format to each.
CODE:............................
But it uses position numbers inside the text. Is there a cleaner way to do this?
Is there a way to extend a drawable (just like how shapes work, create your own tag) and allow it to be inflated from XML? Or is drawable only for the allowed 9 types?

Im developing an app which is a product catalogue. Users can search for and view products (books). It's all read only and just so allow user's to view products. When the user clicks on a product, the next screen displays
- book title
- book author
- picture of front cover.
It's the picture part that I've a question about. I know one way to present drawables is to have them in the "drawable" direction in my android project and access them (in my xml file) as android:src="@drawable/name".
Only problem is that new products will be added so I can't store drawables in the APK file when I release it. I'll need to read them at runtime. I'm wondering what the best way to approach this is.
I'm thinking of upon app launch executing an AsyncTask which would call
openConnection of HttpURLConnection and would grab down all drawable(from a particular remote directory on a website) and would then store them in the sqllite db (as a blob). Each product in the db could easily be associated with it's specific drawable.
Not sure if there's a better approach to this ? or should I save them to the internal storage of the device (I know the size is an issue with this option). Or I could, when I show the product, call the Async task to present the image - i.e.get the image when the user requests it. This sounds good.
I am using a SurfaceView, and wish to animate Drawables. All the animation tutorials I have seen concern using an ImageView, which as I understand is not a sensible approach from within a SurfaceView. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing frame-by-frame animation within a SurfaceView? Can it be done with openGL?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw a "gauge" on the screen with information from various sensors. I have a class that extends Drawable and a custom view that during construction creates a new AnimationDrawable and sets the only frame to my custom Drawable. I then start the AnimationDrawable from my Activity onWindowFocusChanged method. My custom Drawable onDraw method is only called once though. Is that by design (as in onDraw is called for each frame once and it's cached and shown over and over) or am I doing something wrong?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an appwidget with a customizable background. I use a NinePatchDrawable and I would like to change it's color (using the setColorFilter method). This is no problem in an Activity, but it does dot seem possible with the RemoteView object used for appwidgets.Is there some way to get an ImageView in an appwidget to be updated with a new Drawable, not a Bitmap?Or if not, perhaps it's possible to get the actual size of the appwidget and convert / save the colored NinePatchDrawable to a Bitmap and then update the ImageView with that?I already searched quite a bit for a solution, but haven't found anything so far. I hope it's not impossible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using some drawable objects, when I instance them and paint in my canvas they doesn't get the original PNG image file size, instead they get a bigger size, so they does't paint in my canvas as I expected since I wanted them in their original sizes, why this happens?
(original file is 96x96 pixels)
mSprite = mRes.getDrawable(R.drawable.my_sprite);
mSpriteWidth = mSprite.getIntrinsicWidth();
// It returns 114, not 96 mSpriteHeight = mSprite.getIntrinsicHeight();
// It returns 114, not 96
mSprite.setBounds(coordX, coordY, coordX + mSpriteWidth, coordY + mSpriteHeight); mSprite_PipeRect.draw(canvas); //It paints at 114x114 size, it shows bigger in the screen then original size.
Something similar happens with the background but it is fixed in the "setSurfaceSize" event this way:
public void setSurfaceSize(int width, int height) {
mBackgroundImage = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(mBackgroundImage, width, height, true);
}
I am working with a library of maps which paints the icons on the map using drawables and canvas. Now, i'm trying to modify it in order to the user can click on icons. So i want to attach drawables into different ImageView with a onClickListener. However, i don't know how i can paint the ImageView using canvas from method onDraw.
I've tried with:
ImageView iv = new ImageView(context);
iv.setDrawableResource(drawable);
iv.draw(c)
But it doesn't appears in screen.
When creating a stateful drawable, I cannot find the other drawables (9-patch images) that are there - i get no "suggestions" ("intelliSense").
But if I try to find drawables in another XML-file there is no problem.
This is my stateful drawable
CODE:..............
The "view_background_pressed" etc are all there, and they can be found in other XML-files but not in the statefule drawable.
When I add drawable resources to my project they do not show up in the list of drawables in the Reference Chooser. I checked the R file and there are references for the files.
I have tried refreshing the project, cleaning the project, and fixing project properties and nothing seems to help. Sometimes a couple will randomly show up in there, but not all of them.
The only consistent way I can get them to show up is to restart Eclipse.
Further findings:
After some trials, I found an other inconvenient work around to he issue. Turns out when importing multiple files into the project at once, Eclipse will only add the last one imported into the reference chooser. So when I imported my images one at a time, they all show up properly!
Like I said, inconvenient considering the amount of images I have left to import, but maybe with this new information it may help nail down where the issue may be and a possible fix.
I would like to display all resource drawables in a list so that the user can select one. Is there any way to loop through all R.drawable items so I don't have to hard code them into my program?

What is the best approach when using default Android drawables? Should I use android.R.drawable or should I copy the drawables in my project and use R.drawable?
Is there any risk, that in a newer version of Android, some of the default drawables are removed or resized? Or, affect in some negative way, the look of my app? Also, which of the drawables in the Android source code are considered "stable" and should be relied on?
I'd rather not copy the drawables because I think that the look of the app should be consistent with the Android version used. So, for example, for version 1.6 it should use the default Android bitmaps for version 1.6.
I am trying to modify this example:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-gridview.html

To display my drawable items instead?
I'm writing an app that shows in google maps pipes and valves(lines and points). For that i've two classes.
One extends from ItemizedOverlay, and i add to map overlay one for each category of valve, and each one can have more than one item.
The second extends from Overlay, and in the draw method y draw the line with the method drawline of the canvas.
The problem i've is that the lines are drawn over the ItemizedOverlay items, no matter the order i add them to the mapView.getOverlays().
I want the lines on the bottom of all overlays. is there a way to do that.
Is it possible to add drawables to the positive, negative and neutral buttons of an AlertDialog? If yes, then how?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen.
