Android :: Use Motion Events With Multiple Layouts

Aug 22, 2009

I'm beginning in android development, and I've stumbled upon a problem. My application has different layouts stored in xml files, and I use motion events such as onFling or onSingleTapup. These motion events seem to apply whatever layout i'm in. My problem is simply identifying which layout i'm currently using so I can define the appropriate action. I guess what i'm trying to do is a bit like this:

@Override public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) { if(using main layout) { //do this } else if (using settings layout) { // do that } return false;

}

Android :: Multiple Activites That Share 75% Of Layout - Layouts Within Layouts?

Sep 6, 2010

I'm creating a game where there's a screen that, for the most part, is shared by four different activites - but a key portion of the screen will be completely different, depending upon which activity is active. Basically, on the left will be an image of the player and along the bottom there will be a row of buttons (let's say for Armour, Weapons, Magic, Skills). This leaves the top-right portion, which will need to dynamically change to represent the button pressed. (So, one moment the top-right portion is the armour selection activity, and the next it's the weapon selection activity, and so on.)

Is this possible? Can I have a layout within a layout and dynamically point the nested layout at a (nested) layout.xml of my choosing? Or, am I looking at just duplicating most of the layout four times (for the four different activities?) Or, am I going to be looking at linking the four activities to a (the top-right) view component, and then having to dynamically construct all of *that* view's child views based on the currently active activity? Well, that's about as much sense as I can make this question make.

Android :: Should App's With Multiple Layouts Have Multiple Activities To Handle Each

Jul 1, 2010

I'm planning to develop and app that presents the users with several different screens (of different information).
Was wondering what would be the best way to implement this?

Is it better to have separate XML layouts and an activity to display and allow the user to interact with each screen of data?

OR would handling all of these in the same activity be more efficient (and dynamically load / unload each layout)?

Samsung I7500 :: Music Player Sensitive To Headphone Jack Motion / Disable Those Events?

Oct 9, 2009

I've experienced the following annoying issue while using my Galaxy as a music player:

Motion of the headphone jack (e.g. while walking with phone in pocket) can be sufficient to trigger events that shut down music player or cause it to skip tracks. This is a major usability issue.

I'd like to disable those events or somehow configure the music player to be insensitive to them.

Android : Using Multiple Layouts For Different Screens

Dec 3, 2009

I am getting my feet wet developing software for the Android. My test app will have multiple screens (each having their own layout file). The main screen will direct the user to view the other screens based on user input. I kinda see this as layers of cake. Bottom layer being main; then you add and remove layers as the user makes UI inputs. The crazy trouble is how to view a second layer. I have created a second class which has its own onCreate method, which has its on setContentView(R.layout.secondlayer).

This class extends Activity much like my primary class does. I have a click event on a button within the main layout. This button will instantiate the new second layer class which I have done. And that is where my story endsI don't know what to do from this point. This is surely a newbie question If someone has an example that would be extremely helpful teach me to fish and I will be on my way.

Android : ListViews With Multiple Item Layouts

Aug 5, 2010

I have a ListView on my ListActivity and I'd like the rows of the ListView to be 1 of 3 different layouts. The first item in my list is always going to use layout A, the second item in my list is always going to use layout B, and all subsequent items are going to use layout C.

Here is my getView function: Code...

R.id.label1 and R.id.label2 are TextViews on R.layout.layout_A. However, txtLabel1 and txtLabel2 are null after trying to set them. Why?

I stepped through this code in the debugger and it inflated the correct layout (R.layout.layout_A) and fell into the correct case below to set the R.id.label1 and R.id.label2 text. Also, if there is a better way to do this, please let me know.

Android : Add Couple Of Command Buttons For Creating Multiple Layouts

Mar 25, 2009

I am new to android and trying to create a customized list. Every item in the list has TextView and one Ratingbar. I now want add a couple of command buttons at the end of the list (like BACK, HOME, , NEXT). When I add these extra views to the layout xml file then they get added along with every item in the list. I think there should be another layout defined for the buttons to be displayed separate from the list. Anyone has an idea on how to do this?

Android : UI Design Suggestions For Display And Switching Between Multiple Layouts

Jun 26, 2010

I'm trying to create an app that offers the user 3 different kinds of layouts. The only common portion for all 3 would be the TextView (located at the top) that would display information specific to the currently displayed layout and 3 buttons to select the required layouts.

Is there some way we can create this UI in XML to keep only one constant part(the upper TextView) and dynamically display any one of the 3 layouts below it?
Would it be better to create separate XML's for each of the layouts (each including the upper TextView in them)?
OR would doing this via code be better?

Fast switching between the 3 layouts is important. TIA

[EDIT 1]
Actually they are 3 different layouts, with several "child" layouts and views within each of them. Could a ViewFlipper be used for switching between these? I was thinking that a ViewFlipper was only for switching between View elements?

I do have them in individual XML's right now but am looking for some way to load and unload them fast. Not sure how to do the hiding thing, will try reading up on that. [/EDIT 1]

Android :: Make ScrollView With A RelativeLayout With Multiple Child Layouts Fill The Screen

Aug 20, 2010

I have a layout that has just a ScrollView visible. It has a relative layout as its child. This layout has several other layouts (mainly text views) as its children. When the text is not big enough, the scroll view does not expand itself to fit the whole screen. Instead, it shows a gap at the bottom where the background shows. I tried setting fillViewPort=true on the ScrollView, but that just made the first child layout (RL1) to fill the screen.

Android :: Handling Events From One Service For Multiple Activities

Jun 10, 2010

I have a class A which extends TabActivity and creates Activities B, C and D as tabs in its onCreate() function. Also, class A initializes another service handler class S which is responsible for establishing a connection to a service and implementing callback handlers for the service. Any of the Activities B, C and D should be able to receive events from the service and update accordingly. If I receive any event in class S from the the service then I want to call a function in Activity B which would be responsible to update the UI elements in Activity B based on the event received. You can assume that the user is in Activity B when the event arrives.

Can I call an activity function like the following in the stub handler for the callback in my class S -

Android :: 2.1 - MotionEvent Multiple Touch Events Get Mixed Up And Influence Each Other

Sep 24, 2010

Purpose of the app:

A simple app that draws a circle for every touch recognised on the screen and follows the touch events. On a 'high pressure reading' getPressure (int pointerIndex) the colour of the circle will change and the radius will increase. Additionally the touch ID with getPointerId (int pointerIndex), x- and y-coordinates and pressure are shown next to the finger touch.

Following a code snipplet of the important part (please forgive me it is not the nicest code ;) I know)

CODE:.............

The problem:

A HTC Desire running Android 2.1 is the test platform. The app works fine and tracks two finger without a problem. But it seems that the two touch points interfere with each other when they get t0o close -- it looks like they circles 'snap'to a shared x and y axle. Sometimes they even swap the input coordinates of the other touch event. Another problem is that even though getPressure (int pointerIndex) refers to an PointerID both touch event have the same pressure reading.

As this is all a bit abstract, find a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFxjFexrclU

My question:

Is my code just simply wrong? Does Android 2.1 not handle the touch events well enough get things mixed up?Is this a hardware problem and has nothing to do with 1) and 2)?

Android :: Cancel A Drag Motion On Seekbar

May 27, 2010

I've been reading through the docs, and I cannot figure out how to cancel a "drag" on a Seekbar once the bar has been completed.

For example, when I drag the bar to the end, I want an event to happen. However, if I keep my finger on the screen and drag my finger past the SeekBar, it keeps firing off that event even after I reset the progress of the Seekbar. How can I prevent this action from happening?

Android :: How To Send Motion Event Down To Another Activity

Feb 7, 2010

My Activity using transparent Theme in AndroidManifest.xml *android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"* Which works fine. When it's started from the Home screen, we can see both the content of my activity and the home screen below it. It gives the feeling of "floating". Furthermore, to make it real "floating", the motionEvent has to go down to the home screen to let the home screen response some motion touch. But I have no idea of 2 things : 1. Whether the event can be send down to any thing behind the current activity. 2. If so, how. The solution don't need to be restricted in API level.I mean if any solution need us to rewrite home screen or something else, It's also ok for me.
