[android-beginners] OnItemClick does not work
Hello,
I have implemented the following Adapter class which also implements
onitemclicklistener.
My problem is, that when I click on one item in the list, the
onItemClick function is not invoked.
What is wrong ?
public class MovieListAdapter implements ListAdapter,
OnItemClickListener {
private Context mContext;
private ArrayListMovieCatPackage mMovPackArray = new
ArrayListMovieCatPackage();
private HashSetDataSetObserver observers = new
HashSetDataSetObserver();
public MovieListAdapter(final Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
}
public MovieListAdapter(final Context context,
ArrayListMovieCatPackage packageArray) {
this.mContext = context;
this.mMovPackArray = packageArray;
}
@Override
// usual functions for listadapter
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
View v;
if (convertView == null)
v = View.inflate(mContext,
who.cares.R.layout.Movieitempackage, null);
else
v = convertView;
MovieCatPackage movPack = this.mMovPackArray.get(position);
TextView category = (TextView) v.findViewById
(who.cares.R.id.Movieitempackage_Category);
category.setText(movPack.getCategory());
ListView details = (ListView) v.findViewById
(who.cares.R.id.Movieitempackage_Details);
details.setOnItemClickListener(this);
MovieItemAdapter movItemAdapter = new MovieItemAdapter(mContext,
movPack.getdetails());
details.setAdapter(movItemAdapter);
return v;

[android-beginners] Re: ,myedittext.getText().toString() is giving null pointer exception
Obviously becuase you're trying to find a TextView but are using an ID
of a layout file and this is why findViewById can't find any textview
with this id.
You got:
setContentView(R.layout.search);
final EditText myedittext=(EditText)findViewById(R.layout.search); //
- You're using a layout id, instead of an element id. Probably you
meant to use R.id.search instead?)

[android-beginners] Re: XML Layout Language
On Jun 13, 12:01 am, Mitch besse...@gmail.com wrote:
Does anyone know a link to the specification for the XML Layout? I'm
looking for a description of the tags etc. Since I'm new and just
learning, a simplified version would be nice, focusing on the most
common tags. Everything I read now is vague.
There are no common tags in XML (unlike in HTML or X-HTML which are
subclasses of XML). In case of android every subclass of View can be
an Element. You can even create your own subclasses of View and use
them in the layout XML files.
You can check for some very basics at
http://tseng-blog.nge-web.net/blog/2009/01/30/android-creating-xml-uis/
- What does xmlns mean?
- What does the http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; do?
xmlns means Extended Markup Language (XML) namespace (NS)
It's a unique identifier/namespace. The http:// part is just the name
of this namespace. Theoretically it could also have been called
ljkjasd09kalsdj092, as long as it's unique. Most developers who
create some schemas usually chose a URL as name. For example if you
want to use X-HTML transitional (also a subform of XML) the xmlns
would be http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd, so
(in this case) the browser knows that this document is an X-HTML 1.0
transitional file and can parse it correctly. For android keep it at
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android and don't change it
- What is the android: sytnax all about?
Android is the namespace you defined above with
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;. It tells
the compiler that it's related to android
- Can you create your own Layouts like the LinearLayout?
Yes, but you have to do it in code first. You create your own class
which expands ViewGroup or one of the existing Layout classes, for
example:
class MyLayout expands LinearLayout {... }
Once you did it in code, you can use it in the XML files too, but you
have to use full qualified name of the class, like:
org.mypackage.myproject.widgets.MyLayout ../
org.mypackage.myproject.widgets.MyLayout
instead of
MyLayout.../MyLayout
- Is there a list of available components like Button, TextView?
Basically all subclasses of View
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html
- What does the @ symbol do?
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html
It tells the compiler that you want to access a resource. Here are two
differences:
If you're using android:icon=@android:drawable/someicon then you can
access android resources (which are part of the android OS/SDK). If
you use android:icon=@drawable/someicon (notice that the android: is
missing after the @) then you're accessing resources of your
application.
- Can I edit this directly in Eclipse with a graphical editor rather
than manipulating text?
Yea, you can. If you have the ADT tools installed (Android Developer
Tools). But the editor mess up with the formating so it's harder to
read it in text after it has been edited by the Editor.
I'm sure these are probably simple questions answered somewhere, but I
just can't find the specification and I'm so new I don't seem to be
able to find the info.
Some Guide:
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
Documentation/References:
http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html
P.S.
One thing you haven't asked, which may be important: Every Element has
different attributes (that android:text etc. inside the elements). You
can find them in the documentation of that class you're using. For
example for a TextView ... you have to look at the TextView class
at
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html
It will have a section called XML Attributes and Inherited XML
Attributes where you can find all valid attributes for that element.

[android-beginners] Re: How to search an application on Android Market?
On the device itself you can search within the market application. On the web you can search on http://www.cyrket.com . As you already found out, android.com/market does not offer a search function for apps in the market. -- http://www.deepdroid.com On 15 Jun., 14:57, yves yves5...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, Is it possible to search the Android Market onhttp://www.android.com/market/?

[android-beginners] Re: File Browser on Android Phone
You can downlaod a file manager application from the Android market like for example Astro. Be aware though that as long as your phone is not rooted you do not have file access rights on some areas of the file system. -- http://www.deepdroid.com On 15 Jun., 14:58, yves yves5...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, how can I browse the contents on my android phone without hooking it up to a computer.

[android-beginners] How to use the aidl by the eclipse step by step?
Hi,everyone! My develop environment: eclipse, ADT0.9, SDK1.5, Windows XP. How to use the aidl form creating an aidl-file to using the service? Step by step. Need your help! In the sdk document, it descripe as AIDL generates an interface file for you with the same name as your .aidl file. If you are using the Eclipse plugin, AIDL will automatically be run as part of the build process (you don't need to run AIDL first and then build your project). If you are not using the plugin, you should run AIDL first. But I can not find how to do this step!

[android-beginners] Upgrade logic for Apps
I've been developing my app for some time and will need to do some upgrade logic next time I publish a version. I know there's a way to write upgrade logic for the database, but most of my information is stored as preferences, since it's only user settings. I've been toying with the idea of writing my own upgrade manager, but was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to handle this. Is there anything built into the sdk so I can catch it when a user starts up the app immediately after upgrading?

[android-beginners] Re: HTC Magic - Can't install driver on development PCs
Hi, I was having the same problem as tienwai here. Instead of having vid_0bb4pid_0c02, my entries are vid_0bb4pid_0c03, and I think that's why it's not working. I tried editing the android_usb.inf file and replaced all occurrences of vid_0bb4pid_0c02 with vid_0bb4pid_0c03, and it installed. Did a adb shell and it connected :). Hope it helps you.

[android-beginners] My First Custom View
Hi all -
I'm trying to get a custom view example running out of the
Professional Android Application Development book (the
CompassView). I have checked over my code numerous times, and still
the same problem occurs...whenever I run the application I only see a
black screen and the view never pops up.
I have stepped through the debugger a few times and I have two
theories:
1. I have a problem with onMeasure()...my code is currently calling
setMeasuredDimension with 0,0
2. The view might be invisible...I read back the value of
CompassView.isShown() and it read false
Here is the measure code that is being used:
@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
// The compass is a circle that fills as much screen as
possible.
// Set the measured dimensions to the shortest screen boundary.
int measuredWidth = measure(widthMeasureSpec);
int measuredHeight = measure(heightMeasureSpec);
int d = Math.min(measuredWidth, measuredHeight);
//setMeasuredDimension must be called by onMeasure
setMeasuredDimension(d, d);
}
private int measure(int measureSpec){
int result = 0;
//Decode the spec value
int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec);
int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(specMode);
if(specMode == MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED){
//Return a default value
result = 200;
} else {
//Return full bounds since we are filling available
space
result = specSize;
}
measure() is returning MeasureSpec.EXACTLY for mode and 0 for size
from both width and height. How is that possible? I can attach more
code if necessary, because my other problem is that onDraw() never
gets called...but I thought that might have something to do with
having no size.
If it matters, I ran this under Android 1.1 and 1.5 to be sure I
didn't miss something in a version update.
Thanks in advance!

[android-beginners] Any reason why Data connection stays open?
I read about this recently as a common reason for battery drain, once the data network is accessed, it doesn't time out and stays on forever (of course unless either forcibly terminated or the system is powered off). Is there a known reason for this? It's curious because this is the first data capable mobile device which behaves this way.

[android-beginners] LED Alerts
Hello good people,
Has anybody got an LED notification from the notification manager working?
I tried using a custom setup as well as using the DEFAULT_LIGHTS setting
but I see nothing in the emulator nor on the device. The log shows the
method is executing the code inside my if. Here's some code I tried:
if (prefs.getBoolean(ctxt.getString(R.string.led), false)) {
//notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
// when default did not work I tried these settings
notification.ledARGB = 0xff00ff00;
notification.ledOnMS = 3000;
notification.ledOffMS = 1000;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
}
If you have it going can you send me a snippet with your working settings?
Thanks and regards,
Beth
