TextView Not Working With Timer

Mar 8, 2010

I just started working with the Android SDK. I've read up on a bit of the literature at developer.android.com but coudln't wait to get my hands dirty writing some code. Well, dirty they are...

I'm trying to write a simple toy application that updates a string every second with the current time (unformatted). With the code below, my console prints out the current time every second, but the TextView doesn't. The TextView seems to update once at the beginning of the program, but otherwise stays the same. Sometimes I'll click the button and it will change once or twice, but that's about it.

I'm not really sure what's wrong here. The timer seems to be working fine, but not the TextView. I looked for something in the TextView that might allow me to force an instance of the TextView class to update, but could not find anything (which is what I would expect, since setText() should automatically update the TextView).

my code is below. I'm using Android 2.1 (emulated).

Code:
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override

[Code].....

TextView not working with Timer


Java App / Add Onclicklistener To TextView And Timer?

Nov 23, 2011

I'm Computer Engineering student having my internship and my boss assigned me to make an android application for Basketball Scoreboard which I'm having a hard time for I don't have lot of Java courses.

As of now,I'm confused on how to change the value of the TextView by onclicklistener. And a timer which upon clicking the textview of timer, it will start to count down from e.g. 10 minutes and to pause the timer, clicking the timer's textview again.

My java code looks like this:

package com;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
//import android.widget.TextView;
//import android.widget.TextView;
import app.scoreboard.R;
//import app.scoreboard.R.id;

[code].....

I'm using Android 3.2 (emulated).

HTC EVO 4G :: Why Sleep Timer Not Working With Froyo?

Aug 5, 2010

It can no longer kill another program after setting the countdown timer. I used to use it every night to listen to music and then have it shut everything down. My understanding after talking with the developer is that Froyo has removed the ability for developers to kill programs. Supposedly with root access there is workaround, but I am not rooted. Unfortunate, it's a great app and hopefully something that will be allowed in future Android versions.

Create TextView On ActivityResult - No TextView Displaying

Jan 4, 2014

I'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?

In the parent class:

[HIGH]private void addClothes(int menuId) {
Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]

[Code]...

then in my new activity:

[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();

[Code]...

Android :: Android RelativeLayout - Trying To Vertically Center A TextView When The TextView Below Has No Text

Jul 14, 2010

I 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.

Android :: Timer & App Updated

Sep 27, 2010

I would like to know how to intercept the event that the apk has been updated in order to launch again my Timer. Indeed, I have a Timer wich is "scheduled AtFixedRate", but when my App is updated through the market, the timer is killed ; and if the user doesn't launch the App, the timer is not started (so my app becomes useless). How could I do to avoid it ? Is there an event to catch the "App updated" ? I searched, tried, but nothing.

Android :: Looking For Looping Timer

Sep 27, 2010

I have to give a 20x20 presentation tomorrow and I'm looking for a timer app to help out. 20x20 means that each slide auto-advances after 20 seconds. I'd like to have a timer on my phone that would give me a quick glance of how much time I have left for each slide. Start it at 20 seconds, have it count down and when it hits zero, start over at 20. Seeing as it's just a timer app, I really would rather not pay $2 for StopWatch & Timer, which is the only one I've found that offers a looping timer. Does anyone have any ideas?

How To Make Countdown Timer

Feb 27, 2012

As a part of my app I would like to include a countdown timer.

I would much rather have the timer count in minutes and seconds, so any good tutorial to set such a timer up I would rather they point me in that direction first (I have looked)

My problem is that I'm getting this error when I press the button to open the activity

02-27 21:07:47.776: E/AndroidRuntime(711): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
02-27 21:07:47.786: E/AndroidRuntime(711): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{converter.units.kitchen/converter.units.kitchen.Timer}: java.lang.NullPointerException

I currently have the following java activity

import
android.app.Activity;
import
android.os.Bundle;
import
android.os.CountDownTimer;
import

[code]....

It was working fine when I had a fixed number as the starting value, although since reverting to a fixed number it still does not work.

General :: Timer Won't Shut Off?

Oct 16, 2012

I've found that the stock clock/timer app alarm on my LG Eclipse running ICS 4.0.4 won't shut off if I leave the main app screen to go do something else on the phone while it ticks away in the background. The only way to get the alarm to stop seems to be to reboot the phone. If I leave the timer ticking in the foreground it shuts off normallyt when the acknowledge "ok" is pressed. I tried contacting LG about it, but haven't heard anything back.
