The most irritating feature of touch based systems I think is when you are scrolling and you touch a link and it goes there when you only wanted to continue scrolling is there a way to make it require two taps to open a link.

The track pad on my Incredible seems to scroll and select items whenever it feels like it. Pressing on it seems to stop it but often it forces me to select whatever is highlighted to make it stop. I searched but so much clutter I didn't find anything on the forum about it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo the past month or two, my Eris has been randomly highlighting/selecting icons, shifting from the home screen all the way to the screen on the left, and moving the cursor around as I type, making it difficult to text or search.
I did some reading from other people that had the same issue and others replied saying it had to do with the trackball. I have had my phone replaced three times and all have the same issue.
I'm displaying the contacts in a Multi-select "Ok, Cancel" dialog box. I've implemented Filterable for the adapter that displays the contacts in the dialog. The problem is, once i try and select(check) a contact while i'm using a type ahead, the check box in that particular position is checked and not the contact.
The initial screen goes like
After type-ahead,
When I hit backspace, the screen appears as,

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to detect when a user taps anywhere in a view in my Android application. My code looks like this:
linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout); // main layout
// ...
linearLayout.setOnTouchListener(this);
// ...
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Touch!", 1000);
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Down!", 1000);
return true;
}
return false;
}
but when I click on the view, I don't get Toast! Do touch events work in the emulator -- or have I got something wrong in my code?
I'm making an Javascript web app and I can't for the life of me get the touchstart event to fire. I get the touchmove and touchend events no problem. This is a problem because as I see it the best way to distinguish between a tap and a scrolling motion is to zero a counter on the touchstart event, update it at touchmove and then compare it at touchend. I'm doing this so I can do some action at the end of tap but not a scroll. For instance, it would be very confusing if a page opened for an item in a listed after you finished scrolling down that list, but it would be nice to be able to tap on an item to open its page.
This is what I have..
I never see the touchstart alert. If I scroll the touchend will fire and app__touchMoving will have some sort of decent value. On a side note, I've noticed that sometimes the touchend will seem to fire multiple times.
Am I missing something basic here? Plenty of people say that this should work just fine on Android (and iPhone) yet the first listener never seems to fire.
Update: I should mention that I've been testing on a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1.

Had no problem getting my phone to play nice with our exchange server at work and emails are coming/going fine.
However, there are some configuration items I have a big issue with as it relates to the 'look' of the email (coming from a BlackBerry).
1. Is there any way to have a single folder show my received items and sent items combined? My BB had this and it was very useful.
2. How can I edit the way my folders are displayed at the top horizontal bar? The sidescrolling folder display is awkward, it puts my inbox first (good) but then all subsequent folders are listed alphabetically; it pays no attention to their order on my desktop and also shows sub-folders of other files. Any way to change this?
3. Is there a way to change the way emails show as unread? The difference b/n read and unread is only a shade of grey, and difficult to see outside.
I would like to disable the context menu that appears after a long tap (touch and hold) on images in my web application. I've seen posts with different ideas how to do it, but none of them seem to work for me.
Is there a way to do this on Android via HTML/CSS/Javascript?
I would like to further annotate the custom markers I have placed on a MapView (using ItemizedOverlay) by displaying a simple text label that appears for a particular item when the onTap event is fired.
This is a trivial exercise in the Google Maps JavaScript API and in MapKit on iPhone, but it is not obvious to me what the best or easiest way to do this is on Android.
I've got this piece of code from an xml in my settings.apk (SecSettings actually) that contains tutorials on motion settings.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/motion_tutorial_settings_title" android:key="parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<Preference android:title="@string/turn_over_title" android:key="turn_over" android:summary="@string/turn_over_summary" />
[Code] ......
In there, all the red parts contain tutorials on settings that don't actually work on my device, and for OCD sake, I don't want them appearing in my settings because of it. But simply cutting them out of that file will make the settings app crash whenever i open that menu
So question is: is there a way to hide these settings without impairing their functions?

I was quiet used to lockscreen layout where swipe left unlocks the screen and swipe up launches google now. My device manufacturer rolled out an update and now it has swipe up to unlock and no google now shortcut.
I believe this is driven by some XML in layout..I am not expert but have decompiled the framework-res.apk but coudnt locate the place where I should change to get my favourite lockscreen layout back...
It's great that Android 2.1 supports multiple Gmail accounts, but so far, I've found that it's not possible to select which one to use when sending a message from another app, such as Contacts or Gallery. What is particularly annoying is that, when doing this, it seems to automatically use whichever Gmail account I was viewing last. Am I missing something, or is this just a missing feature in Android?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI snatch this pic from the web and want to use it as a background. But since its a rather close up shot, when applying to wallpaper we are forced with this crop thingy. Its sucks cause it will not let me select the entire picture which results in a zoomed in image on the background instead of a zoomed out entire pic.
Is there a way around this? I tried making the pic smaller but when it hits the N1 the cropping portion is the same.
When I go to the gallery and select a photo and hit the share button, I get a bunch of choices that I never use and probably never will.
