[android-beginners] Re: Navigation bar in an application
Two techniques can help, sub-class controls and layout fragments. You probably only need to use the 1st one if you navigation is dynamic. Create sub-classes for some or all of the controls in your navigation bar (which classes depends on your design). This lets you move the code for the navigation bar out of each activity. http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html Create a layout fragment for your navigation bar using a combination of your sub-classed controls and normal controls. Then use the include / statement to insert your layout fragement into the each of your activities. http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/resources/articles/layout-tricks-reuse.html /Richard On Jul 9, 2:53 am, Emmen Farooq farooq.em...@gmail.com wrote: I need to include a navigation bar at bottom of my application , now my application has several activities and I want the navigation bar to be stay across the whole app , so would I include the code for it in every single activity or is there a more optimal way, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Passing an int value from one activity to another
What 'putIntExtra'? There is a getIntExtra, there is a putExtra, but I
don't see a 'putIntExtra'.
Besides: surely the type conversion rules of Java guarantee that he is
calling putExtra(String, int) here.

How are you retrieving the int extra in the PlayAlphabet activity?
The way you start the activity with the extra seems fine..

So I am not sure how helpful my advice will be, but what I would do is: before ever even entering the shell of adb, make sure that adb can see the emulator with adb devices. Yes, unlike the distinction between emulator and device for the -e and -d options, adb devices will list both real hardware devices (of which you have none) and emulator instances (all of them). If you don't see the emulator instance even after launching the emulator and seeing the home screen, then try adb kill-server followed by adb restart. If that gets adb to see the emulator instance, then go on to adb shell. The one other suggestion I have is to make sure that you are using an uptodate version of adb -- and for that matter, of all the tools.

[android-beginners] Consolidating two SharedPreferences issues.
I've got two different threads going here and it looks like the two issues are related. There's something fundamentally broken in my implementation of SharedPreferences. One thread is entitled SharedPreferences.getFloat throwing ClassCastException and the other is Default values for ListPreference . Here are the symptoms: First SharedPreferences.getInt and SharedPreferences.getFloat are both throwing ClassCastException. SharedPreferences.getBoolean is working fine. In addition, ListPreference is stopping with an uncaught exception when I attempt to set the preference from the screen, but only if there is a defaultValue set. Is it possible that I've left off some SharedPreferences housekeeping? Here's how I get the SharedPreferences object (in Service.onCreate) when I'm setting up to call getInt, getFloat, etc: myPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences( getApplicationContext() ); Here's how I launch the preferences editor from my main Activity screen: startActivity( new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW ).setClass(getApplicationContext(),Preferences.class) ); Is there anything I'm missing that might be causing these behaviors? Here's preferences.xml: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

127.0.0.1 is the loopback (local address) for the emulator. 127.0.0.1 is the local system; so when you are on the emulator it is the emulator, when you are on your host it is the host. 127.0.0.1 can never cross a system boundary (for a given value of never). /Richard On Jul 9, 1:04 pm, NIK nikolaos.katsa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all.
