New question....
I'm trying to access an array of text strings by its integer index (at
laest, I think that's what I'm trying to do!).
The array is defined as (it's actually longer than this---this is the
shortened version):
String[] descriptions = {"Santa Rosa Sound (NW FL)",
"Sailboat on SR Sound", "SR Sound Sunset #1",
"SR Sound Sunset #2", "SR Sound Sunset #3",
"SR Sound Sunset #4", "NW FL Sunset",
"SR Sound from Okaloosa Island", "Beaches on the
Island" );
and I'm trying to use it, just a few lines later, like this
(indentation
shortened here):
TextView statusText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.status_text);
statusText.setText(String.format("%s",
descriptions(photoIndex)));
I also tried this:
TextView statusText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.status_text);
statusText.setText(descriptions(photoIndex));
Eclipse insists on including an Object definition which merely
returns null. I tried editing it to return descriptions(photoIndex),
and it Force Closed every time I tried to run it. Obviously not the
right way to do this.
I *THINK* I'm following what an example shows to do, but I either get
null or a Force Close. The example is at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4986786/using-string-array-list-length-as-an-integer
What I'm trying to do is access the descriptions array by the same
index that the photo being loaded onto the screen is using. The idea
here is to replace the "1/39" with "Santa Rosa Sound (NW FL)".....
Can anyone either let me know what I'm doing wrong, or point me to the
appropriate FM that will show me how I *SHOULD* be doing it? :-)
--------------------------------
Another question regarding image dimensions. This app will be
ad-supported, and in landscape mode, some of the photos take up the
entire screen on my Android. Will that block ads from being seen?
Or is the container for this app reduced by the ads, thus reducing the
parent to be filled by the photo to begin with?
Thanks,

PS: Last newbie question from me today...follow-ups to this, yes, but
another newbie question, not today...... If I get this working, I'm
done
for the day. Then tomorrow, it's just cleaning up the screen...easy
stuff.
