[android-beginners] Re: Why XML to define layouts/components?
If your question is why even use XML to layout UI? the answer is because some people like it better; they find it easier and cleaner; other's prefer to do it in Java. As Teal said, you don't have to use XML if you don't like. I at first found the XML layout method foreign, and the plethora of approaches daunting. I would have benefitted from a tutorial that first focused on only Java and then broadened to XML, but I survived and now find XML UI layout to be useful, sometimes.

I realize we should strive to separate view from logic and that XML is hip and trendy, but is it really necessary for these relatively simple Android applications? XML layouts involves more files and what feels like a lot of magic (type unsafe) properties, and makes samples harder to follow/ type. It also can't be especially efficient to use findViewById (whether BFS or DFS based) constantly? It sort of reminds me of the differences between JSF and Wicket, where the former was designed by people sitting in an ivory tower while the latter was designed for and by people at the ground, comfortable with Java. Which also leads me to wonder how come Android uses the old type- unsafe int enum pattern and also, why fluent-interfaces/method- chaining isn't used in greater extend? /Casper PS: You might want to fix the URL's to the group charter and FAQ as they currently go into 404. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

In the OnCreate method, change the following code:

If you prefer, here's the complete HelloWebView.java code:

[android-beginners] Re: text colour
Do you want to change the color of the TextView items in the list view? In that case use: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:textColor To change the divider color use http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html#attr_android:divider There are programmatic alternatives to these if you want to change colors at runtime.

[android-beginners] Re: listview activity not stopping
From the log, you appear to have a null pointer exception, although
that could be a red herring. What happens when you step through it? Do
you get the same problem for all list items?
Looking at your code, you might want to consider simplifying it with a
switch statement, like:
switch (position) {
case SHOULDER:
startActivityForClass
(GymExercise.this,ShoulderViewController.class);
break;
case BICEPS:
startActivityForClass
(GymExercise.this,BicepsViewController.class);
etc.
Why do you call lv.bringToFront() for position 0?

Looking at the ADC2 Terms and Conditions, I didn't see any rules against using internal APIs. To the contrary, it encouraged Effective Use of the Android Platform--Does the application take advantage of Android's unique and compelling features, such as built-in location- based services, accelerometer, and always-on networking? That being said, Google has consistently slapped the virtual wrists of people asking about internal APIs on this list, so I wouldn't recommend it.

It depends on what you mean by 'override'. You can't change the way Android initiates and receive calls, but you can use those buttons in your own app, with Activity.onKeyDown: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onKeyDown(int,%20android.view.KeyEvent) The KeyEvent code is KEYCODE_CALL for the green button, and KEYCODE_ENDCALL for the red.

Oh, that id. So I believe you are referring to the function onListItemClick: protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) Android calls this function when the user clicks on a list item, and sets the id value. Under the hood, when the user clicks on a spot in the ListActivity UI, Android takes the y value of the touch point, calculates which row position that corresponds to, and looks up which item id that position corresponds to, and calls onListItemClick(). ListActivity is handy like that. Does that answer your question?

How to install the Android SDK in two dozen or so easy steps (based onhttp://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html) To write Android programs, you will need to download and install three programs: Java, Eclipse and the Android SDK. 1. Java: this is the computer language you will be using to write programs on Android. Go tohttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Click on the Download button next to the Java SE Development Kit. On the next page, select your platform (probably Windows), click on the I agree to the blah blah blah checkbox (after carefully reading the agreement of course), and click on continue. Download the file download link on the next page. Once it's downloaded, double-click on the file to install it. One point on installing files: if this is your computer, you can probably install anywhere, and most programs on Windows get put in the C:\Program Files directory. However, if this is for example a school computer, you may not be able to put the program there, in which case you can put it somewhere else, like the My Documents folder. Now you have to tell your PC where Java is, because for some reason the Java installer doesn't. On WindowsXP, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: ;C:\Program Files\java\jdk6\bin 2. Eclipse: this is the program you will use to program in Java on Android. Go tohttp://www.eclipse.org/downloads, click on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. It will take to the next page where you click on the green arrow to download. Unlike most modern software products, Eclipse has not have a fancy installation procedure. To install it, simply extract the zip file into some director on your computer. This will create a directory named eclipse. The executable program file is located in this directory and is called eclipse.exe. On Windows systems, it is a good idea to create a shortcut to this executable on your desktop. To do this, right-click on the eclipse.exe file and select Send To → Desktop. Eclipse stores all its files in a directory called its workspace. When Eclipse is run for the first time, it will ask you where you want the workspace to be placed. After this, you should see the Welcome to Eclipse 3.0 page. When you see this, you are ready to proceed to the next step. 3. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) Go tohttp://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html. Select the the version for your computer. Your platform is probably Windows. When that file is downloaded, unzip it somewhere, such as C:\Program Files. It will then be in C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something, the something being the version number, like windows-1.5_r1. You have to tell your computer where you put it, because for some reason it can't figure that out itself. On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.

Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something\tools Then tell Eclipse where to find it: a.

[android-beginners] Re: Can we use gcc for compilation in emulator
There are any number of reasons that might not be working; it sounds like your .so is not in the path. The other issue is that Android does not use the usual glibc, but instead a replacement called 'bionic'. If you are writing a native application, I would recommend looking into the upcoming 'native development kit' for that.

[android-beginners] Re: Is learning Java directly on the Android possible or a good idea?
Sun's online Java tutorial is also good. As you can imagine, opinions vary. The benefit of learning on the device is that if you find it more interesting than learning on a PC, learning is easier. The drawback is that the last two steps of the code/compile/run cycle take a little longer. I recommend you learn the common basics (control flow, classes, etc.) of Java on a PC, but just before you go into PC- specific APIs (like UI), then move to the device.

[android-beginners] Re: Game Development with Multiple Levels
It depends on how much common logic the different levels share. For example, if on the first level the player is fighting green sprites on low platforms, but blue sprites on green platforms, then just a set of level-describing files will suffice. If there is a small amount of level-specific knowledge (i.e, the blue sprites sing and dance), then the file can reference a class or function in your monolithic code. On the other hand, if each level is totally different (i.e., level 1 is a FPS and level 2 is an RTS), then you can describe each level in code rather than in XML files. Incidentally, XML has its advantages and disadvantages, as discussed (among other things) here: http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions/CodingLifeBatteryLife.html Yusuf Saib Android ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

And what is the best way to do so? I've currently come up with 1 : Have each level to be a class, and load up the proper level depending on player progress. 2 : Store the level information in a file or in XML, and load it up depending on player progress. Both of these solutions do not seem to be ideal, and it seems there could be a better way to develop this sort of system. What are your thoughts on a situation such as this?

To display Thai (or any alphabet that does not ship with your phone) in your app, you need two things: (1) put your strings in unicode, preferably not hard-coded in-place.

[android-beginners] Re: Game Shooting A Object
I will assume that you already know about application development in general, and Android development in particular. If not, there are some Android tutorials that can help you with those. For shooting an object, your application will need to do three things: 1) listen for the user pressing a particular button or tapping on a screen. FYI, some Android phones don't have QWERTY buttons just built in, just the on-screen soft keyboard. 2) draw the elements on the screen, such as spaceship, laser and Martian. There are several ways to do this, probably using the canvas class is the easiest: http://www.designerandroid.com/?cat=3 3) collision detection: this means using math to calculate when the laser hits the Martian.

Have you looked at androidchat? http://code.google.com/p/androidchat/ It is written for Android 1.0, which means it may need some modification to be compatible with the Android 1.5 API.

[android-beginners] Re: Differentiating between Simulator v/s. Real device
For an Android to question whether its lives in a simulation, it could detect the number of sensors (should be zero) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorManager.html Or query various ids like the IMEI: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html Caveat: these can be handy for development, but not rigorous enough to put into a production application.

[android-beginners] Re: Accessing a server through wifi
Do you mean you are able to ping the server from PCs on the same subnet as the G1, but not able to access the website from the G1? If so, can you see the website from the PCs? Are you entering the same URI on the phone as on the PCs? Is it possible to look at the server log to see if it sees an HTTP request from the phone?

[android-beginners] Re: Why does this give an error.
I got the same illegal modifier for strSheikResp error from Eclipse
when I put it inside a function, but no error when I put it inside a
class but outside of a function.
static final String[] strSheikResp = new String[]{open sesame};
Where did you put the declaration?

I took out the key word static and fixed the problem.
You now have a different string array in every instance of the class,
instead of one for all instances of the class.
How does Eclipse feel about:
static final String[] strSheikResp = {test1, test2};
?
