[android-beginners] Re: Hello Date Picker
I am also working through this example but ran into a different problem. The lines: mDateDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dateDisplay); mPickDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickDate); give the error R.id can not be resolved. R is never declared anywhere.

[android-beginners] Unable to see Google Map - but eveything else seems to be working....
I have an odd problem. I'm working on my first Maps application. I'm using the demo/tutorial code as a baseline to figure this out. I have the app running, I can see the zoom controlsbut no map graphic. I see no errors in the console. I've set the debug.keystore. I also have the key for the API set. I've verified I have them in the right place according to the Eclipse configuration. I can even add an overlay with a small graphic with no problem. But I still only see the graph paper-like background for the map. I'm not sure what's going on. Using Java 1.6. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application
I don't think the other thread explained how to do this without creating two package names.

Another approach is to try to pull out as much common functionality as you can into a 3rd Java-only project, with each of your projects (paid and free). The tough part is that you can't move anything that references resources into a Java-only project.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application
So a user would need to download both the free app, as well as the paid app (which unlocks features in the free app)? Is there a way where a user could download just the paid app? On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 1:34 PM, Justin Anderson janderson@gmail.comwrote: The method is to have a main application and an application that acts a key to unlock functionality in the main app. You can't upload two products with the same package to the android market. Doing it the way I described in the other thread allows the main application to contain all the functionality to run in both lite and paid modes. The mode that the application runs in is determined by whether you have the key installed, which of course would have to have a separate package name because you are not allowed to upload two projects with the same package name. The application that acts as a key never even has to run... it just has to exist. Although, in my case, I have my key program set to just launch my main app and quit. Pulling common stuff out into a separate library would work (kind of) but it would not be as easy as my method. Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

[android-beginners] Installing the SDK alongside Amazon EC2 Tools on Mac
Hello,
I recently went to install the Android SDK and noticed a potential
problem.
I have the amazon ec2 tools installed and it uses a the PATH variable
in ~/.bash_profile
the line i have for ec2 tools is: export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin
the android sdk wants me to add export PATH=${PATH}:your_sdk_dir/
tools to ~/.bash_profile
i was wondering is there was anyway to use a different variable so i
can have both at the same time or will i have to do what im doing now
and comment out one of the lines to use the other.
thanks in advance

I've been working through the Hello,Views examples. They are great
resource - thanks to those that created them.
There is a problem with the setiton on the example using
android.R.sytleable
public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
mContext = c;
TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes
(android.R.styleable.Theme);
mGalleryItemBackground = a.getResourceId(
android.R.styleable.Theme_galleryItemBackground, 0);
a.recycle();
}
Eclipse reports that R.styleable cannot be resolved
There are lots of messages on the web about the problem. Finally I
found one that reported android.R.styleable. is no longer supported in
sdk 1.5
http://mac.softpedia.com/progChangelog/Google-Android-SDK-Changelog-31208.html
If this is officially true, it would really be helpful to people
trying to learn Android programming to have some official notification
in the example and a revised workaround approach. Otherwise a lot of
people will be wasting a lot of time.

[android-beginners] Re: TabHost problem with designing Tabs
Have you tried using a TabActivity, then you don't have to use a layout XML file for the tabhost. Each tab calls its own intent, and that activity can use its own layout file. Not sure if that fixes your exact issue, but then you won't have to worry that you are messing up your overall layout of the tabs, or the other tab. You can focus just on the one tab that is giving you trouble. On Aug 17, 2:44 am, Stefan ebay-dah...@web.de wrote: Hi, now I have a new problem.

[android-beginners] Using ExpandableListView inside a Dialog
Hi,
I am new to Android and Java. The answer is not obvious (to me)
I have been using ExpandableListView inside an activity quite happily.
so...
public class PaymentList extends ExpandableListActivity{
ExpandableListAdapter mAdapter;
...
mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter();
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
registerForContextMenu(getExpandableListView());
...etc
I now want PaymentList to be a Dialog so:-
public class PaymentList extends Dialog{
cannot resolve setListAdapter or getExpandableListView.
How do I get over this (provide the getExpandableListView
functionality inside the Dialog) ???

[android-beginners] Re: Using ExpandableListView inside a Dialog
Thanks for the prompt reply but the complexity of defining
ContextMenus and setting up the GetViews associated with the
ExpandableList within a Custom Dialog are currently beyond me.
However I have got
Intent i = new Intent(GetFlagSet.this, PaymentList.class);
startActivityForResult(i, 0);
working so I can put back the time when I need to crack creating a
more complex Custom Dialog.

to the ExpandableListActivity class hence are not available when you
extend the Dialog class.
You could create a Custom Dialog and Use the ExpandableListView as its
view.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ExpandableListV...http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I am new to Android and Java. The answer is not obvious (to me)
I have been using ExpandableListView inside an activity quite happily.
so...
public class PaymentList extends ExpandableListActivity{
ExpandableListAdapter mAdapter;
...
mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter();
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
registerForContextMenu(getExpandableListView());
...etc
I now want PaymentList to be a Dialog so:-
public class PaymentList extends Dialog{
cannot resolve setListAdapter or getExpandableListView.
How do I get over this (provide the getExpandableListView
functionality inside the Dialog) ???

[android-beginners] Re: Help Needed with Opening File
I eventually solved the problem with help of following dicussion
http://www.anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=25297#25297
my solution is:-

[android-beginners] Help Needed with Opening File
Hi,
I am relatiely new to both java and Android.
I assume that files opened in user.dir are held in fast battery
backed ram and that /sdcard/ is a slower rom device.
I am attempting to copy a file of about 450k from the sdcard to the
user.dir so that I can have much faster reading/wrting of the file.
CopyfiletoMemory(..) works fine but the subsequent call to open the
file as a
RandomAccessFile in Openfile fails with FileNotFoundException?? any
ideas
public void CopyfiletoMemory(String filename){
try{
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(/sdcard/+filename);
File temp = File.createTempFile(/+filename, null );
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(temp);
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.flush();
in.close();
out.close();
System.out.println(File Copied);
}
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(File input error);
}
}
public void Openfile(String filename){
try{
String destination = System.getProperty(user.dir)+
filename;
File fileCon = new File(destination);
fstream = new RandomAccessFile(fileCon.getPath
(),rw);
ReadRoundData();
customer = new t_customer();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println( File not found exception!: + e.getMessage
());
}
catch (SecurityException e){
System.out.println( File security problem!: + e.getMessage
());
}
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println(File input error);
}
}
Any help gratefully received

[android-beginners] Two Problems with ExpandableListView
Very pleased :) with the way ExpandableListView works but am unclear
how to set the clicked view as invalid in OnDismiss.
Problem One
---
In the onChildClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v, int
groupPosition, int childPosition, long id)
{
I call the Dialog Enter and wait for dismiss so:-
Value = new Value_Input(test2.this,0, custno, itemno, day);
Value.show();
Value.setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface arg0) {
getExpandableListView().invalidateViews();
}
});
}
the invalidateViews() seems a bit heavyweight when I only want to
redraw the clicked view.
the other options are:-
getExpandableListView().invalidate();
getExpandableListView().invalidate(dirty);
getExpandableListView().invalidate(l, t, r, b)
getExpandableListView().invalidateChild(child, dirty)
getExpandableListView().invalidateChildInParent(location, dirty)
getExpandableListView().invalidateDrawable(drawable)
basically how do I get from groupPosition, childPosition to the View
after the event??
or how to use one of the above??
What I need is:-
getExpandableListView().invalidateChild
( groupPosition, childPosition)
Problem Two
--
How do I get the adapter not to draw GONE views. I have tried the
trick I used in the simple BaseAdapter in both getGroupView and
getChildView but it does not work :-
boolean found=false;
int count = getExpandableListView().getChildCount();
for(int i=0;icount;i++){
View block2 =
(View)getExpandableListView().getChildAt(i);
if (block2.getVisibility()==View.GONE){
found=true;
}
}
if (found){
getExpandableListView().forceLayout();
getExpandableListView().getParent().requestLayout();
getExpandableListView().invalidateViews();
}
What do I do??? Why doesn't the adapter look after this for me??
I would argue that both of the above problems currently require the
user to have an understanding of what is going on inside the adapter
other than the basics. (dangerous) Or am I missing something basic??
Many thanks in advance
Steve

Alas there is more - I have a command to expand the group and move it
to the top of the display:-
case 1:// Move to Top)
getExpandableListView().setSelectedGroup(groupPosition);
getExpandableListView().expandGroup(groupPosition);
getExpandableListView().invalidateViews();
break;
This does not cause the children to be redrawn indeed there is no
subsequent call to getChildrenCount(int groupPosition)
getExpandableListView().setSelectedGroup(groupPosition); - I was
hoping this might move group to top of screen!

[android-beginners] Re: How to redraw the list in ExpandableListViewActivity
I've got a very similar app I'm doing now, I replied to your other
post as well, just to point out that I'm also using onActivityResult
however instead of invalidate I just force the activity to launch
again. I track which tab they were on before they launched the
activity which created the new record so when it comes back to this, I
know which tab to set it to with the setCurrentTab. It sounds really
inefficient (and it is) but so far with some big lists I am getting
really good results. And of course, you've already got it where you
don't redraw when there was nothing edited or created.
On Jul 27, 2:48 pm, Beth Mezias emez...@gmail.com wrote:
Hi there,
Here is the situation. In a TabbedView, one of three tabs is an
ExpandableListViewActivity. My application is using SQL Lite to store the
data bound to the ExpandableListView. When I change the SQL Lite data in
another activity, I need to refresh the ExpandableListView and show the new
data. If I am drawing the tab for the first time after adding new data, the
list shows correctly after the tab switch. If I am in the
ExpandableListViewActivity when I add new data to the list or edit existing
data, then I do not see the change. In this case, when I exit the
application and restart, I see the modified data was stored in SQL Lite as
expected. Can anyone suggest how I might get the tab to redraw the list?
The partially working code looks like this:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
intent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
//stuff deleted
if((requestCode == EDITOR) resultCode==RESULT_OK) {
tabs.setCurrentTab(1);
tabs.getCurrentView().invalidate();
}
}
The constructor for the list adapter is where I execute the code to populate
the groups and children. Do I want to drop and create a new list adapter?
That seems like a waste of perfectly good rows. Is it something I should do
in the ExpandableListViewActivity, rather than the TabHost? The fact that
this is an expandable list is probably irrelevant; I am stuck where an
object on the screen that has changed is not redrawn automatically.
Your help is deeply appreciated.
Best regards,
Beth

[android-beginners] Re: Is learning Java directly on the Android possible or a good idea?
I agree with the others that you should learn some Java on the PC before diving into Android. Everything you need is in the JDK and Notepad. After that, you might find you need to go back and look up a few things that are not so basic. Depends on how far you go with Android, but just reading through their samples in the SDK you will need to understand interfaces, generics, and constructors. Head First Java is a good book however it might be a little long if you are anxious to get going with Android. Take a look at Java Demystified which is much shorter and also very good. Good luck!

I saw that there were a few books, but I'm not sure that they are suited for beginning Java in Android. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've grabbed a few books on Java, and I'm reading through them (not skimming!) in all of my spare time. I'm first reading Java for Dummies. I read that it's recommended to read Head up Java as a starting place.

[android-beginners] Re: Cannot create AVD in window XP
I have the same problem as this. There is no 'android' executable in the tools directory - should there be? I only have an android.jar file in the tools' parent folder, but this is not part of my path, and I'm not sure if this is what is meant to be running.

Even I typed create command from SDK\tools directory, I got that message. And I also have Java Home in Environment Variable and add java path to path of the system. I would appreciate any suggestion.

[android-beginners] Re: Corrupt XML binary file error when adding a PNG to res/drawable
Hi,
The file is res/drawable/androidmarker.png (taken from a tutorial).
I'm not referring to it at all; I'm merely placing it in the drawable
directory. Removing it removes the error.
Thanks,
Steve

What is the name of the png you are adding and where and how are you
referring it to?

For a single element, an if statement will be faster and more compact. Unless you're calling it thousands of times per second, it's not going to make a difference in performance. It's probably using about 20 more bytes of Dalvik bytecode than the equivalent if, so unless you have a bunch of them the size won't matter either. Having all of the code look roughly the same may make it easier to understand and maintain. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Hello Android!
Go into 'Run Configurations' and hit the 'Target' tab. Change the 'Emulator Launch Parameters to GPRS for Network speed and Latency. You could also tick the 'Wipe User Data' tab. Then all you have to do is run the app and give the emulator time to boot up (although you can disable the boot animation too). Don't know about the other question; I'm a beginner too and the Notepad app tutorial looks pretty scary!!

[android-beginners] Is it necessary to rebuild android platform
I've setup my development enviroment on Windows with Eclipse and the ADT plugin and and build and run the Lunar Lander sample. I'd like to be able to build the Android Mail application but it's using a newer version of the framework (for example, it's trying to import #) One solution is to rebuild the latest Android platform using the latest source from GIT. That would mean installing Linux on a VM on my Windows machine and rebuilding it though, and I can't be bothered. Is it possible to get the ready-built files (including android.jar for example) without building from source ?
