View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a WebView layout, which is used to access a specific website, however it would be useful to edit or create a custom "Web page not available" resource when a handset doesn't have a network connection or the page times out. I know it's possible because if you open the app "Wikidroid" while a handset is in Airplane mode you receive "Article not available" error page instead of the standard Android "Web page not available" error page.

We have in our project a keyboard with "Key" elements, this Key elements have attributes such as android:codes="119", android:keyLabel="w" and so on.My question is how can I include an custom attribute like a "android:alternativeKeyLabel" to do something else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a widget that can reads its attributes from an XML file onCreate. I've created a Custom Button that extends Button widget. I would like to define its layout and styling in an XML, such that the widget can be reused across different views, with the same styling attributes. The notepad sample code does carry some pointers to this problem, however, it defines a XML layout with the component as View, inside LinearLayout, which is not really what I'm trying to achieve here.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to create a layout based on (background) images? For example, there is well know app called Appie that uses this picture as a homescreen:
I might be able to recreate the layout with a TableLayout, but this will be difficult to get it perfectly aligned with the buttons in the image. The default layout options make it very difficult, or maybe impossible, to allow for selection of the buttons on the image (especially when the buttons are in an arc-path). Can anyone tell me how this is done?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a custom component which supports voice recognition. (Custom Component which displays voice recognition button if available). It will primarily be an extended EditText which should show the microphone button for voice recognition if it is available. I wanted to to look at the search app-widget on the homescreen but I don't find it in the source. This is intended to use the voice recognition as some sort of dictation device, i.e. the user does not have to type but use his voice instead. So could anyone please point me in some direction?

Here is a brief much more complete guide to creating your own Odin images for distributing custom ROMs or making backups. Thanks to kam197, BH_MAN, chadmd23, SoulCreator, and all the other community members.
Requirements:
A Samsung Behold 2 to backup/edit/test ROMs on
Root via try3/asroot2, persistent su, or modified kernel
Working ADB connection
SD Card with ~300MB free
Cygwin - if you are working in Windows
Basic knowledge of a command line
Making the ROM Dump: The Behold 2 has 14 partitions in its flash memory, but only a few of these are useful to modify. You will want to focus on different partitions depending on what you want to do. After you make a ROM dump you will need to package it using the instructions in the following section before you can flash it. Backup your personal data? You may want to backup your data while trying out a different ROM. It is simple to do. Start an ADB shell session and obtain root access. Run the following command to dump the UserData partition: Code:
I am trying to create a custom dialog in Android. But whatever I tried to do, I am not able to change the width of the dialog. It just remains the same. The following is the view that I am setting as the content for the dialog.

As you can see, everywhere I am using wrap_content in this code sample. Also I tried the following options
1) Setting a custom style while creating the Dialog like this.
dialog = new Dialog(this,R.style.Theme_Dialog);
And the style as follows

I'm trying to encapsulate certain layouts that I've made, to help me dry up my android xml ui files. I have the following code:<LinearLayout

android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView style="@style/text_view_small"
android:id="@+id/time"></TextView>
<TextView
style="@style/text_view_small"
android:id="@+id/number_of_worlds">
</TextView> </LinearLayout>I want to simply convert it to the following <DoubleTextView></DoubleTextView> Once done I want to be able to use the "widgit" in other xml files.Are there any particular resources or examples that I can look at to help me figure out how to do this?
In v1.5 of the SDK, the release notes include "Support for user installation of 3rd party keyboards". So the API allows you to design a custom keyboard layout within a single app. But how might one go about developing a custom keyboard that a user could download and install (as opposed to compiling your own build of Android), that would replace the soft system keyboard in all instances? Is there any online documentation for how to get started on doing this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with the IMM and it's mostly straightforward, but for some reason, my custom view that launches the soft keyboard works only in portrait mode. Launching it is easy enough:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
I've seen a couple notes about the soft keyboard only working in portrait but I assume this was a limitation in a previous version, since all the Android EditText views work fine in both portrait and landscape. Is there some additional piece of work needed to enable landscape?
I am using WebView to present UI. Is there any way that I can trigger custom soft keyboard when input text form field is selected?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an EditText that is to collect input for a basic calculator. I want to bring up the numeric keyboard, and thus I set android:inputType to numberDecimal|numberSigned. Problem is, the EditText filters out all characters that aren't numeric, such as "(", ")", "/", "*". I have tried overriding this behaviour by setting a custom InputFilter which filters nothing out, but it seems to have no affect on the EditText. Is there any way for me to display the numeric soft keyboard without the filtering behaviour?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an application (or one in the works) that will allow us to apply a sound effect to the slider opening and closing? Maybe base it off of when the screen rotates + keyboard lights up? I would love to apply 2 seperate notifications. One for open and one for close. Anyone got an application like this in the works or know of one that would work on Samsung Moment? I know there is a notification for when you unplug the power, but I'd love to have 2 seperate from that for JUST the slider. I can't believe we can't modify seperate notification sounds custom without apps.

I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.
I would like to play around with some ideas and develop a soft keyboard for Android to replace the default one.
Is there any general information about soft keyboard development for Android out there?
Any best practices or guidelines?
Can I do with my keyboard application pretty much anything I could do with a normal Android application?
Can I do HTTP connections to synchronize keyboard data with a cloud DB and other phones I have?
Can I open other windows/screens from a key press, e.g. to display a custom input interface different to a normal QWERTY one. If that doesn't work, can I use a pop-up dialog instead?
