Yes, I mean onSizeChanged(). Hmm, no way? Even if I have android:screenOrientation="landscape" in my manifest ? This way screen dimensions will ( am I right? ) never change, and should be accessible anytime...
Currently I initialize part of my View in its constructor, than I have to do all kinds of locks to somehow survive without a crash until I get the onSizeChanged() message and can initialize the rest (which depends on screen size ) and then I have to ignore subsequent onSizeChanges() which, for some reason, still sometimes come ( even though, of course, neither the physical screen size nor orientation has actually changed ). For example, if I have my app on top, and screen saver kicks in, and I awake the screen, then my app gets shown again and gets ( in my opinion, spurious ) onSizeChanged() message which needs to be ignored. Doing the above is feasible, but messy. It would be way more convenient if I could simply figure out the screen dimensions in View's constructor, construct everything and do not bother with onSizeChanged ( like I do in versions of said app for Symbian and Blackberry ) On Dec 22, 4:51 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > You mean onSizeChanged()? > > Sorry, there is nothing earlier, that is the point where this has been > figured out. > > > > On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 11:59 PM, Utumno <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Android gurus, > > > I am aware that when screen dimensions change, I get a call to > > onScreenChanged() and there I can figure out its dimensions, however > > it would be much more convenient if I could figure this out earlier, > > namely in my View's constructor. > > > Any tips? > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > > Groups "Android Developers" group. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > [email protected]<android-developers%[email protected]> > > For more options, visit this group at > >http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en > > -- > Dianne Hackborn > Android framework engineer > [email protected] > > Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to > provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
