  • background picture for textview

    - by AndyAndroid
    Hi, I have a textview and a nine-patch image. Assigning this image in the xml editor to the tag "background" works as desired. Now I want to set this image dynamically in the coding, I thought myTextView.setBackgroundDrawable(mydrawable); would be the right thing to do. My png is in res/drawable. The API says that mydrawable needs to be an object of type drawable R.drawable.myninepatch is of type int. So my problem is that I have to convert from that int to a drawable somehow. Then I thought I can use a constructor NinePatchDrawable mydrawable = new NinePatchDrawable(); But I am again not able to construct such an object. Anyone an idea? Thanks.

  • Can I create an activity for a particular task without that task coming to the foreground?

    - by Neil Traft
    Here's my use case: The app starts at a login screen. You enter your credentials and hit the "Login" button. Then a progress dialog appears and you wait for some stuff to download. Once the stuff has downloaded, you are taken to a new activity. Exactly which activity you are taken to depends on the server response. Here's my problem: If you go HOME during this login/download process, at some point in the near future your download will complete and will invoke startActivity(). So then the new activity will be pushed to the foreground, rudely interrupting the user. I can't start the activity before I start the download, because, as I mentioned earlier, the activity I start depends on the result of the download. I would obviously not like to interrupt the user like this. One way to solve this is to refrain from calling startActivity() until the user returns to the app. I can do this by keeping track of the LoginActivity's onStop() and onRestart(). But I'm wondering, is there any way to create the activity while it is in the background? That way the user returns to the app and he is ready to go... otherwise he would have to wait for the new activity to be created (which could take some time because the new activity also has to download and display some data). Update: Guess what? I LIED! I could have sworn that starting this activity was causing it to come to the foreground, but I went back to test it again and the problem has magically disappeared. I tested in both 1.6 and 2.0.1 and both OSes were smart enough not to bring a backgrounded task to the front.

  • Is there a faster way to download a page from the net to a string?

    - by cphil5
    I have tried other methods to download info from a URL, but needed a faster one. I need to download and parse about 250 separate pages, and would like the app to not appear ridiculously slow. This is the code I am currently using to retrieve a single page, any insight would be great. try { URL myURL = new URL("http://www.google.com"); URLConnection ucon = myURL.openConnection(); InputStream inputStream = ucon.getInputStream(); BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream); ByteArrayBuffer byteArrayBuffer = new ByteArrayBuffer(50); int current = 0; while ((current = bufferedInputStream.read()) != -1) { byteArrayBuffer.append((byte) current); } tempString = new String(byteArrayBuffer.toByteArray()); } catch (Exception e) { Log.i("Error",e.toString()); }

  • Can we instantiate abstract class?

    - by satheesh.droid
    I don't understand whether we can instantiate abstract class by any means because I have read we can inherit the abstract class but in have found we can create an object by calling method of other class.For example LocationProvider is an abstract class but we can create object for the same by calling getProvider() function in LocationManager class. By the following code LocationManager lm=getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_PROVIDER) LocationProvider lp=lm.getProvider("gps");

  • Two imageViews vs one imageView and a canvas

    - by user3009842
    I have a bitmap and I want to scale it up to fill an ImageView and overlay the unscaled version of the bitmap on top. Which would be cheaper (in terms of memory and processor usage)? Using two ImageViews, one for each version of the bitmap Using a canvas and drawing on the singular bitmap, using one ImageView I saw this question about ImageView vs Canvas, but it doesn't address memory/processor concerns. My intuition says two ImageViews may use more RAM, while using a canvas would use more processing power while the drawing occurs.

  • Setting column width in Table View

    - by Jeremy
    I am having a hard time understanding how to change the width of columns when creating a table view. I know you can set the width in pixels of a column but that is not what I want to do. Say, for instance, I have 2 columns and want each column to take up half the screen. How do I do this without explicitly setting the pixels, so that my code can work on multiple screen sizes?

  • Emulate back button in multi-view TabActivity

    - by ZelluX
    Hi, all I have a TabActivity with several tabs. Each tab corresponds to a specific view, and those views may further switch to other views. For example, one of my tabs displays RSS feed list, after user clicks one of the RSS feed, it will switch to a view displaying a list of articles, and after user clicks one of the titles, a full article view will be displayed. I'm going to add support for "back" button in my application. For instance, in a full article view, after user presses the "back" button, it should switch back to the article list view. And if user presses it the "back" button again, my application should switch back to the feed list view. My idea is to maintain a Stack<View> during navigation, and every time user presses the "back" button, the program will pop a View out of the stack, and set it as the current view. But I would like to know how to set current view in TabHost. Many thanks.

  • How to stop an activity with GL view. Application not responding

    - by David
    I have an activity that I want to programmatically stop after some elapsed time. I have a GL view running. My understanding is that the GLSurfaceView.renderer is running in its own thread, so I created a handler instantiated from the activity. In the GLSurfaceView I post a message. The handler then attempts to stop the activity with the following: onStop(); finish(); The activity seems to close. However, if I try to restart the application, I get a blank screen, the phone is practically locked up and eventually I get a message that the activity in the application is not responding. I'm also getting geting a wake lock, ie PowerManager.newWakeLock(...). When I try to release it, I get an exception. Not sure if its the GL view of the wake lock which is causing me troubles. Any ideas appreciated.

  • samsung galaxy tab 4 not recognized by eclipse

    - by michael
    the just released samsung galaxy tab 4 tablet does bring up the 'autoplay' box with device options when connected, but is not being recognized by eclipse, nothing shows in the device window. I have enabled debugging on the galaxy tab, including tapping the 'about' box 7 times to make the developer options magically appear. it runs kitkat and the Samsung site has a 'no data available' under the driver tab for this device. since it just came out at target last week it's unlikely there would be a new driver anyway, which has been the usual suggestion for this question on older models.

  • TextColor not showing when row backgroundcolor set

    - by RuAware
    if my row is colored red the text wont set to green and bold italic. When debugging I can see it telling the TextView to set each textViews setting. Thanks TableRow row = new TableRow(getContext()); row.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); String[] items = list.get(l).split(":"); for(int i=0; i < items.length; i++){ //see if i need to colour row if(items[i].startsWith("colorme_") == true) { if (items[i].substring(8).equals("red") == true) { row.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED); } } else { //create a temp textview then add to row TextView tempTV = new TextView(getContext()); tempTV.setText(items[i].toString()); //test against correct answers and colour text view green if correct if (correctAnswers != null && correctAnswers.size() > i) { if (correctAnswers.get(i).equals(items[i].toString()) == true) { tempTV.setTextColor(Color.GREEN); tempTV.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC); } } row.addView(tempTV,lpTextView); } } //add the row tempTable.addView(row);

  • Transparent Dialog Alignment

    - by feragusper
    I'm trying to get a custom dialog with a transparent background doing this way: this.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.transparent); (where "R.drawable.transparent" is a reference to the color "#00000000") The weird issue on this is that I can't align my dialog window. It's always aligned to the left, even if I implicit set the Gravity of the window using: this.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); And if I just comment the line which set the transparent background, the alignment works fine. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

  • Using Regular Expressions

    - by bebeTech
    I am having problems trying to use the regular expression that I used in JavaScript. On a web page, you may have: <b>Renewal Date:</b> 03 May 2010</td> I just want to be able to pull out the 03 May 2010, remembering that a webpage has more than just the above content. The way I currently perform this using JavaScript is: DateStr = /<b>Renewal Date:<\/b>(.+?)<\/td>/.exec(returnedHTMLPage); I tried to follow some tutorials on java.util.regex.Pattern and java.util.regex.Matcher with no luck. I can't seem to be able to translate (.+?) into something they can understand?? thanks, Noeneel

  • How do you manage battery health of your development devices when is always plugged in?

    - by Pentium10
    I know this question is not programming related, so for this I made community wiki. Developers are the best guys to answer the question. I am addressed to those that do development on devices that runs on batteries, like phones, gadgets etc. Probably you are constantly develop for them, and therefor they are always plugged in and charged at 100%. We develop mainly for smartphones and we have devices that were always above 90% charged in the last month or so. If a battery is always charged, it degrades it life cycle, so what steps you do to ensure decent battery drain to maximize the life of the batteries.

    - by Maxim
    Hello everybody, I've noticed that layout_alignBaseline of TextVew control doesn't work with Spinner control. I'm trying to place a text to the left of spinner, but it goes to the top of the parent control. Is it a bug or I do something wrong. The same technique works fine with EditText controls.

  • When marking an item (changing background color) in ListView it's repeating for other items.

    - by Adi
    If I want to mark the second item I'm doing the following code: This code is from my Adapter that extends ArrayAdapter : if (convertView == null) { LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.channel_list, null); } MyContent o = items.get(position); if (o != null) { TextView tt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.toptext); TextView bt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.bottomtext); if (tt != null) { tt.setText(o.Top()); } if(bt != null){ bt.setText(o.Bottom()); } if(position == 2) { convertView.setBackgroundColor(R.color.selectem_color); } } return convertView; It will show the list view but mark every 9'th item after this item (the 11'th item 13'th and so on). Does anyone know what's the reason?

  • http connection timeout issues

    - by Mark
    I'm running into an issue when i try to use the HttpClient connecting to a url. The http connection is taking a longer time to timeout, even after i set a connection timeoout. int timeoutConnection = 5000; HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutConnection); int timeoutSocket = 5000; HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket); It works perfect most of the time. However, every once in while, the http connection runs for ever and ignore the setconnectiontimeout, especailly when the phone is connected to wifi, and the phone was idling. So after the phone is idling, the first time i try to connect, the http connection ignores the setconnectiontimeout and runs forever, after i cancel it and try again, it works like charm everytime. But that one time that doesn't work it creates a threadtimeout error, i tried using a different thread, it works, but i know that the thread is running for long time. I understand that the wifi goes to sleep on idle, but i dont understand why its ignoring the setconnectiontimeout. Anyone can help, id really appreciated.

  • How to inflate a view in a determined position?

    - by Tivie
    I have an activity with an "Add" and a "Delete" button. The "Add Button" inflates a view, the "Delete Button" removes a selected View. When I inflate a view with the "Add Button", it is automatically drawn below any previously infalted view. I would like to give the user the possibility to move each inflated view up and down, so he could change the order they are show in screen (in a drag'n'drop kind of effect) +---------------------+ +---------------------+ | +-----------------+ | | +-----------------+ | | | View 1 | | | | View 2 | | | +-----------------+ | | +-----------------+ | | | --> | | | +-----------------+ | | +-----------------+ | | | View 2 | | | | View 1 | | | +-----------------+ | | +-----------------+ | +---------------------+ +---------------------+ Is it possible to specify the "position" in which each view is inflated? (for instance, below or above the currently selected view?) If not, what is the best way to accomplish the desired effect? (feel free to ask for any piece of code, if you think it might help)
