R.xx.xx ids are actually integet constants. They're not strings. So you can't use + to construct such ids.

[android-beginners] Re: GLSurfaceView Activity Lifecycle problems
Ok - so I have fixed the rendering problems by taking the source to
GLSurfaceView and changing the onPause() function to be like this:
public void onPause() {
synchronized (this) {
mPaused = true;
--- NEW BITrequestExitAndWait();
}
}
So now it ends the GL thread when onPause() is called.
The documentation for GLSurfaceView does say setRenderer() should only
be called once and only once in the life-cycle of a GLSurfaceView
but not obvious how to do that within the Android life-cycle framework
e.g. onCreate(), onStart(), onPause().
I would be welcome for suggestions on how to make a single instance of
GLSurfaceView for the whole life-cycle of my activity including
support for the HOME button which doesn't call onDestroy() but does
call onCreate() repeatedly.

[android-beginners] Re: GLSurfaceView Activity Lifecycle problems
Sorry the hassle - sorted it all out the requestExitAndWait() was a
red-herring.
The problem was fixed properly by setting the activity launchMode =
singleTask
Now my app (with all its multiple threads) handles the HOME key and
the back key properly.
I am not sure the GLSurfaceView class as it is currently is designed
to support anything except singleTask mode?

[android-beginners] Re: Is it possible to append a value to R.string or any resource under R.?
using standard java res bundles,
textView.setText(rb.getString(desiredString));
and in your res bundle,
desiredString1=value of R.string.h1
desiredString2=value of R.string.h2
...
that is, the RB keys are the possible values of desiredString, and the
values are the proper mapping from a particular value of desired string.
On 10/23/09 6:59 PM, David wrote:
Screen A permits the user to input a value into an EditText field.
Screen B populates a TextView using one of the entries in strings.xml
based upon the TextView value. For example, if the user inputs "2" on
Screen A then Screen B should populate the TextView with
R.strings.h2. I have tried the following:
// get the bundle extras from Screen A's intent
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
// pull out the value from the UserInput EditText sent from
Screen A
Str desiredString = extras != null ? extras.getString
("UserInput") : "";
// popluate textView with the string R.string.h + whatever the
user put on Screen A
textView.setText(R.string.h + desiredString);
I get a "cannot resolve R.string.h resource" error message because,
evidently, the desiredString value is not appended onto R.string.h.
So, I decided to come at it from another angle:
switch (desiredString) {
case 1:
textView.setText(R.string.h1);
case 2:
textView.setText(R.string.h2);
. . .
case 312:
textView.setText(R.string.h312);
Note that you cannot switch on a string so I tried Integer.parseInt on
the string but I wind up with a blank Screen B with the switch
statement above. It seems that the string is not turned into an int.
So, my question is twofold: (1) is it possible to append a variable
onto a R. entry and (2) if I am obliged to use the larger and uglier
switch approach, how do I turn an EditText string value into an Int
value? Thanks.

[android-beginners] Re: SQLiteDatabase update?
I figured out the issue I was having: SQLiteDatabase.rawQuery is only for select statements. It will gladly accept other SQL statements, such as updates, and it will compile them and then drop them without any feedback. For DML, you can use SQLiteDatabase.execSQL. I still don't see a way to pass an expression through SQLiteDatabase.update. If you want the protection/speed of prepared statements with expressions, Android does include the java.sql package. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Device not listed in 'adb devices'.
Hi, I've been trying for a while to get my phone (a T-Mobile
Pulse/Huawei 8220) to show up when I run ./adb devices. Here's what
I've done:
1. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/55-android.rules to contain the line:
SUBSYSTEM==usb, SYSFS{idVendor}==12d1, MODE=0666
Note: The android docs are out of date here wrt to whether to use
'usb' or 'usb_device'. And please use ubuntu version numbers - I don't
want to have to look up stupid animal names.
2. Made that file executable. Is this really necessary? The other
files in that directory aren't.
3. Restarted my computer.
4. Selected the USB debugging thing on phone.
5. Run 'sudo ./adb devices'. It starts the server but doesn't list any devices.
Also, I tried both the idVendor given in the docs, and the one
returned by lsusb for my device. Is the purpose of this rule to detect
the phone and make the usb device world-writable? If so how can I
check it has worked?
The lsusb output is below.
This is extremely frustrating, and the docs aren't being much help!

[android-beginners] Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...

The cause, I think, is that if you close the emulator by just clicking the window's [x] as I did previously (I'm using Ubuntu), then the emulator doesn't close properly and doesn't release its hold of the android debug port. A workaround for this bug is: 1. Exit eclipse. 2. Kill all the eclipse and java processes. I had to kill -9 the java ones. 3.

[android-beginners] Re: Trying to turn off candidates view in EditText with on-screen keyboard
hey, I just had this problem also Change the input type to Visible Password it works On Oct 23, 12:05 pm, Bamsen bamse...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, My first (and very simple) application uses an EditText box to input information that is not English words. When I do this i get the candidates view (which I normally love :) with suggestions for known words. I do not want to pollute my word list by saving what I typed so I want to turn off candidates view for this text box. I have searched the documentation and WEB but could not find the answer. I have tried two methods: 1. Set the XML property input type to various values. With this I can't find one that lets me input 'raw' text without a candidates view. 2. Use InputMethodService static InputMethodService mInputService; mInputService=new InputMethodService(); mInputService.setCandidatesViewShown(false); Whenever i try the last line my app 'has stopped unexpectedly' I would prefer to understand the second method, but would be happy for the first one to work, for now. :) Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -- Morten --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Poor Documentation
Hi Thanks for your reply. I took the Sensor developer page as a typical example: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Sensor.html and in the summary section the methods have no comments. If I take another random section as an example; DialerFilter: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/DialerFilter.html and select getDigits() you'll now see that there are no comments in either the summary or main section. I know the Android is a free system but I stand by my point that the documentation could be a lot better. The better the developer documentation, the better the take up. Cheers Graham On 22 Oct, 10:00, gmseed gms...@gmail.com wrote: Is it me or is the Android Developer Reference documentation an absolute sham? Take the Sensor page, which lists the public methods: float getMaximumRange() String getName() float getPower() float getResolution() int getType() String getVendor() int getVersion() Not a single comment as to what these do. Readers must be expected to be mind readers. Then take SensorListener, which provides a few comments on the accelermoeter, magnetic and orientation sensors but no mention of the other sensors. When I run an application with onSensorChanged (int sensor, float[] values) it outputs 6 values and not 3 as the documentation would suggest. Etc, etc, Developers are expected to fish around and use guess work to try and figure out what's actually going on. Working with 4x4 rotation axis matrices is tricky stuff and needs detailed explanations. With all of Google's backing you'd think the documentation would be excellent. Consider the alternative system of Qt by Trolltech. The Assitant documentation is excellent and has led to a big take up of Qt. If Google wants developers to get up to speed fast on Android then they should phone the Trollech documenting team asap. I gather from reading previous posts that this documentation issue is not new and has been around since the start of Android. Clearly then somebody at Google has a strange idea as to what documenting an API means. The Android system is amazing but really let down by its developer documentation. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] How to control the behaviour of the virtual keyboard next key?
Hi All, I'm writing an app that includes a dialog where the user must enter some information in editTexts. The dialog has four editTexts in a row, and another editText below that (IP address and port). So we have: [e1] [e2] [e3] [e4] [e5] If the cursor is in editTexts 1-4, the virtual keyboard displays a next button, which is great and very handy. However, it only seems to search down, i.e. if you are in [e2] it will move the cursor to [e5], not [e3] as expected. Is there a way to control which box it goes to next? It seems like there should be an xml property for ordering, but I haven't found anything like that.

[android-beginners] Re: Is it possible to append a value to R.string or any resource under R.?
@Farproc
Ah yes, the R.xx.xx are integer constants created automatically in the
R.java file (i.e., h1=0x7f050002, h2=0x7f050003, etc.). Now it makes
sense why constructing a string to reference them does not work.
@Jeffrey
I have a couple of questions. I just finished reading up a bit on
resource bundles but things are still a little cloudy for me. Would I
need to populate the 312 key:value pairs into the rb bundle?
If so, then what benefits does the bundle approach have over the the
ElseIf approach? It seems that putting 312 strings (even if small)
into a resource bundle would be more memory usage than required when,
in the alternative, the one desired string could be called directly
from an ElseIf approach, albeit with more lines of code.
Similar to your bundle idea, I thought about creating an XML array
with each string as a member but, again, all of the strings would be
pulled into memory to create the array when all I need is *one* of the
312 strings. Too bad there isn't a way to dynamically construct a
reference to the R. resources . . .
Thanks for answering questions from a new Java-Android developer
coming from the PHP side of things.

using standard java res bundles,

and in your res bundle,
desiredString1=value of R.string.h1
desiredString2=value of R.string.h2

that is, the RB keys are the possible values of desiredString, and the
values are the proper mapping from a particular value of desired string.

Screen A permits the user to input a value into an EditText field.
Screen B populates a TextView using one of the entries in strings.xml
based upon the TextView value. For example, if the user inputs 2 on
Screen A then Screen B should populate the TextView with
R.strings.h2. I have tried the following:
// get the bundle extras from Screen A's intent
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
// pull out the value from the UserInput EditText sent from
Screen A
Str desiredString = extras != null ? extras.getString
(UserInput) : ;
// popluate textView with the string R.string.h + whatever the
user put on Screen A
textView.setText(R.string.h + desiredString);
I get a cannot resolve R.string.h resource error message because,
evidently, the desiredString value is not appended onto R.string.h.
So, I decided to come at it from another angle:
switch (desiredString) {
case 1:
textView.setText(R.string.h1);
case 2:
textView.setText(R.string.h2);
. . .
case 312:
textView.setText(R.string.h312);
Note that you cannot switch on a string so I tried Integer.parseInt on
the string but I wind up with a blank Screen B with the switch
statement above. It seems that the string is not turned into an int.
So, my question is twofold: (1) is it possible to append a variable
onto a R. entry and (2) if I am obliged to use the larger and uglier
switch approach, how do I turn an EditText string value into an Int
value? Thanks.

Yes I tried that thanks. I ended up just setting a static height. Everything I read says not to embed a listview in a scrollview (from the experts). Seems kind of short sighted to me.
