I am developing a live Wallpaper on android 2.1
I want to set in background a bitmap that i download on a server. I use canvas with the method setBitmap(Bitmap bitmap); but it don't work. I also try to set it in an ImageView in a different class of my live Wallpaper but it also don't work.
Have you got a solution?
Now that the OTA is coming, I'm guessing a lot of us will do a factory reset after update to Froyo. I'm wondering if someone can give some tips regarding what to do before and after the factory reset, including but not limited to the following:
0. how to do a factory reset?
1. to reinstall apps (is appbrain the best way?).
2. to keep personal/contact info (will Google contact sync keep everything on the phone?).
3. to keep desktop/widget setup (e.g. LLP backup and restore tips).
4. any Droid X specific quirk?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use ImageSpan to add icons to a textview (small graphics, symbols like emoticons, not much taller than normal letters) and whenever I have icons on the top line of text they're getting chopped off at the top. Icons on other lines are fine.It's like the textview, when calculating its size, doesn't take into account the icon size. Any idea how to get it to calculate the size correctly, so the top of the icons can be displayed? (sorry for the repost - I tried posting this a couple of weeks ago, but got no replies)

How do I tell my ImageView to span fill the remainder of the screen. If I define the height and width as "fill_parent" it fills over the two text views.

I have an image, say 16px from our designer. I want to Set it as the background image on a view, but the view is larger than the image. So I want to anchor the image at the top of the view, and then have the view fill in the bottom with a solid color.
Is this possible in the current version of android, 1.5_r3?
Here is what I have so far, but the image is scaling to take up the entire view, and I am not sure how to set the image as background and specify a solid color at the same time. I suspect I need to wrap the view in a containing view which has the color specified, is that the best way to do it? code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was a little bored so I decided to make this and post it. What do you think? I made everything from scratch (including the Google Logo) except the android in the background. I think it looks good. What do you all think? Of course the original does not have my username all over it, though that was to get people's opinions first before someone jacks it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to develop a GUI application on top of a background image with buttons in specific places on the image. The first step is to display the background.
The image can be displayed with resources and is described in several FAQs including this one:
how-to-add-background-image-to-activity
It compiles and runs without errors, but the background is black. Here is the main.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/rootRL" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/background">
</RelativeLayout>
The image has been in png, 9.png, and jpg format with basenames of 'main' and 'background'. It builds but does not display. Making clean and recompiling does not help.
This behavior occurs on both the emulator and on hardware -- an Atmel AT91SAM9M10-G45-EK. The SDK version is 2.0.1.
I had the HTC Desire Z, so, I think it's not related to Droid 4, but it's Android specific.
However, whenever I try to set a background image, this one is always enlarged, coming out the edges, no matter what its size is, while I expect it to fit the display, even deformed, just as when I set a desktop image on my PC. That's what happened for example with my old Nokia N82: the image was scaled to fit the display.
I even tried to set an image of the exact resolution of the display (540 x 960), but it was always enlarged. So, is actually there a way to put a background image so that if fits the display and is not enlarged?
When I placed a widget on the desktop does that mean that its always running the background?

Is there a way to implement the resizing of a background image without just stretching it? I'd like to have a single background image that keeps it's corners but get stretched only in defined areas. I think this should be possible because I've seen it in a SMS app, but I wonder how to implement that.
It seems background images are automatically shrunk in Android, for example, I use setBackgroundDrawable to set background of a view code...
Instead of shrinking, I want the image to be cropped to fit the screen size. How to do it?
I've used the following code to repeat the image in the background but its not working code...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a widget layout xml which sets the src to the delivered android widget 4x1 frame image.Here is the widget layout code...
@drawable/widgetinitial holds the widgetinitial.png image example 4x1 at developer.android.com (AppWidget design guidelines).(4x1_Widget_Frame_Portrait.psd) What I am trying to do is display an image inside the delivered frame instead what happens is the frame image goes away and only the image I am trying to display shows up. How can I display the image inside the bounding box or the background?
Another question - I think I saw in a couple of forums AbsoluteLayout is a deprecated feature for Android 2.1 and above. Is that correct? and does using AbsoluteLayout throws any force close or other exceptions?

I've got the Screencast Video Recorder app on my Nexus 7 but when I finish recording anything, the only result I get is a video, of accurate length, full of a pale static image. None of what I've recorded can be seen at all.
When I had this app installed on my Samsung Galaxy S2 it worked perfectly. Now I have it on my N7 and it doesn't work so I'm thinking that it could be a tablet compatibility type issue, even though I'm able to install and open the app fine.
As is shown in my sig, my Nexus 7 is stock rooted, so it's not as if a custom ROM is causing the problem.
How can you specify a column span in an android's gridview?
I have a gridview that displays 3 images for each row. Sometimes, there are images that have to span 2 rows.
Is it possible to do that in Android?
or should I be using a different view?
Can you please tell me how can I place an background image to a the left upper corner of TextView in android? I would like the image not to be scaled by android.
I have tried
Resources res = getResources();
setCompoundDrawables(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon48x48_1), null, null, null);
Nothing is shown.
And I have tried
setBackground(R.drawable.icon48x48_1);
But it stretches the image.
Doesn't this phone support the direct dial shortcut on the desktop? I am trying to add contacts on my desktop that I would like 1-touch access to but the only way to add a contact is using the shortcut to contact. Clicking on that opens up the contact details and then I have to click on the number I want to call and select call or message. Is there any way to add a particular number for a particular contact directly onto the home screen? I know that the MT3G used to have a shortcut to direct dial option. Is there anyway to get that on this phone
