General :: Android App Action Bar Spinner
Apr 27, 2012
how to add a spinner to the action bar of an app. I looked everywhere online for at least 2 hours with no step by step tutorials. I also looked on the Android Developers site and that got me closer, but i still didn't get it. I am very very new to developing android apps.Basically i have four main screens on my app. Their names are "Mobs," "Animals," "Mods," "Updates." I want to be able to click the title of my app from ANYWHERE inside the app, and be able to have those for options drop down. When they are clicked, i want it to take me to the corresponding screen.

I thought that Action was preeminent during intent resolution and if the intent had the same action as the intent filter, it would be considered a match regardless of data, if the filter did not specify anything. So I was very surprised to find that supplying action+data where filter had only action, causes it to fail. In the code below, if you comment out line 47 so that data is *not* sent, only then it resolves correctly. To get it to work with the data (an id that is simply a String), what mime type should I specify in the intent filter?

I use this code to generate a spinner in my app:
code:.........
On my device (Motorola Milestone) and in the emulator this looks like the standard gray spinner widget.
On of my colleagues uses a Motorola Backflip and on his device the Spinner is black. Now its very hard to read the font in the spinner.
What do I have to do to use my own view for the spinner? I don't mind to have the gray spinner on all devices, but it should always look the same on all devices.

I have an xml layout file which contains a few widgets including a Spinner
I want to display a list of strings in the spinner, the list is generated at runtime as a result of a function so it can not be in arrays.xml.
I tried doing:
CODE:...........
But this crashes my application.

I have a spinner 'aperture' set up with a list of numbers, and a spinner 'mode' with two options. When a button is pushed I need a calculation to run using various inputs, including the current selection from 'aperture' and a value derived from 'mode'. How do I call the value of a spinner so I can use it in a calculation?
Also, how do I use the spinner 'mode's selection to set this other value before implimenting it in the calculation? To be more specific, if the spinner is set to Small then the value I use in the calculation is 0.015, whereas if Large is selected I need to use 0.028
My other inputs are EditText views, so right now I am set up like this:
CODE:............
That is not the actual equation, it is just a test to make sure everything connects properly. How would I call the value of spinner 'aperture' and the Small/Large spinner 'mode'

I have a spinner widget in my activity which lets users pick a list name.
Normally, the function of the spinner is to switch between lists but for a couple of instances, I swap out the selection change listener to perform a different function with the same list of options. Once the selection has been made, the old listener is restored and life goes on.
This is a bad and buggy arrangement. Instead, I would like to have a function that just takes a selection listener and some other parameters and shows a popup list that's populated by the same cursor (or and identical cursor) as the spinner, without using the spinner itself.
Is there any way I can do this?

I am trying to populate a spinner depending on another spinner's selected item, my code is the following:
CODE:.................
what is intriguing me is that the first spinner onitemselection works perfectly ( I can see the values in LogCat) then when I change selection of the 2nd spinner I am gettging an error on this line: String selected= (String) s2.getSelectedItem(); So the compiler gets insisde then onItemSelected function of the 2nd spinner but throws an Handler exceltion on s2.getSelectedItem()
why? it works perfectly for the 1st spinner.

I'm working on an input device that has a button that I'd like to act both as a home button when pressed by itself, but also work as a modifier for the other buttons on the device. I know you can do this in the kcm file with other buttons, and have something like:
Code:
key ESCAPE {
base: fallback BACK
alt, meta: fallback HOME
ctrl: fallback MENU
}
Is it possible to have something like:
Code:
key CTRL_LEFT {
base: fallback HOME
{SOMETHING HERE}: CTRL_LEFT
}
So that I can press that button with another button and have it not fallback on HOME?

'm working on Boid for Android and we've run into a problem.
How do you style the spinner dropdown in Android 4.0? Whatever we've tried, it won't work. We only need to style it in the 'collapsed' state, not when it has the dropdown showing.

When an action is done in the middle of an animation of transition between screens, the animation is spoiled. Is needed to add a system that stops the animation, and begins the next action.
Using Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.1, Stock ROM from Factory Image.
I made a report to Google. [URL]
Some examples:
- Open an app and let many windows behind, for example: Settings > More > Networks > APN > [Your APN]. Press the back button of the navbar several times faster. The animations are spoiled and the phone shows ugly effects. Or press the back button slowly, and in the middle of the animation press back another time.
- Open an app and press the Recents button. Press the Recents button another time, and press it another time when the animation is being showed.
- Enter in Recents, press home and immediately press Recents button.
- Enter in an app and press an option, and press faster the location of the next option you are going, and you know previously where it is.

Is it possible to enable/disable action bar icons? The scenario is that on the action bar there are two search icons, but they do different jobs, one searches the contents of the app while the other filters the listview (searches the table of contents only).
So if a user only wanted to use only one search method, is it possible to make an option in the settings on the app to enable/disable action bar icons?

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo (MT15i Hallon) with the newest Nightly CM10 installed. My problem is, that in Google Now, when I ask "What's this song" it says "This action is not supported in your country". I tried everything, changing language, timezone, default google search engine, nothing worked.
My question would be, is there a way to edit a file with rootexplorer to gain ability of using this feature?

I've been doing alot with the initialization routines in android just lately .
For all my efforts I have been unable to get the device-added init action trigger to fire,
Just to be clear this is set in init.rc and looks like the following,
Code:
on device-added-/dev/compass
start akmd
The above is taken from the init readme file which contains an example init.rc at the bottom
I did some further research and a quick search of the AOSP code. This revealed that the functionality is yet to be implemented. which obviously explains why the trigger wasn't being fired . The device-removed and service-exited triggers are also missing.

I am working on creating an Action Bar like the one from the new Android UI Patterns and I am running into a bit of trouble. I have a ViewSwitcher with two layouts in it. When the user taps the search button I animate between the two layouts. The problem is that the layouts are different sizes and I can't figure out how to make them take up the same amount of space. Here's what I mean. p.s. forgive the bad art, they are just place holders ;)

My current situation is that I have a phone with 2 camera apps on it, stock and camera FV-5.
Camera FV-5 is slower than the stock camera, so I only use it in situations which I need manual control.
Whenever I open whatsapp and try to send a photo, the app asks me which camera I want to use, with no option to always use stock. I don't want camera FV-5 to exist as an option, as I will open it if I want to use it.
Is there a way to remove an app from the list so that my phone does not recognise camera FV-5 as a camera?

I have an app that crops faces - something the app can do in a nanosecond, but I want the user to think it takes a bit longer. So in a case on a button click.
Here is what I have:
CODE:........
The dialog shows fine, and the faces crop fine too. The problem is - when the user runs the app, the 2 happen simultaneously on the screen.
Is there a way to make it so the dialog appears, 3 seconds elapse on screen and then the cropFaces is run? That way it will look like it cropped the faces in a few seconds, and then the new page appears.
