[android-beginners] closing multiple activities
I have 3 activities, activityA, activityB activityC. I want to add a menu button NEW SEARCH that will destroy/finish all 3 and start a new activityA. I do not want to finish the activities as they process as I want the user to be able to navigate between the 3 unless the NEW SEARCH menu option is chosen. I guess basically I want to know how to finish activityB C from activityA. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] Re: closing multiple activities
All activities are developed by me. The NEW SEARCH button will be in all 3 activities. B is launched from A. C is launched from B by the user (based on button clicks).

[android-beginners] Re: Clicking in an AppWidget
You can set any view to be focusable and add an OnClickListener.
ScrollView view = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.my_scroll_view);
view.setFocusable(true);
view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
// DoStuff
}});

I know how to write code that would launch an activity when a button is
pressed on my appwidget. I would prefer, however, to not dedicate
real-estate for a button. Is there a way to launch an activity simply
by clicking anywhere in the appwidget? If so, is that a violation of
Android standards?

[android-beginners] Comparing data retrieved from SQL query
I am retrieving data from a SQL query. The data retrieves fine. If I
place the data in a TextView field, I see the text.
When I try to compare it in an IF statement, however, the statement
sees the data as false, even if it should be true.
If I set the variable to a good value (not getting data from the SQL
query) the IF statement works fine.
Example
String queryString = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(table_query));
if (queryString == text){
// do this
}
I have checked my data. If I query the database for table_query =
'text' I receive results.
This is happening for 5 different fields where a comparison is made,
each with a different variable and if statement.

[android-beginners] Writing a loop to set multiple TextView properties
I have 12 TextView fields named textView1 - textView12.
Each TextView will have 2 attributes set: SetText
SetBackgroundDrawable which are read from an array (textValue[] and
textBackground[]).
What I would like to do is write a for (or similar loop) statement to
draw them in a loop rather than write each one individually.
Something like
for(int Z=1; Z=12; Z++){
textViewZ.setText(textValue[Z]);
textViewZ.setBackgroundColor(textBackground[Z]);
}
Unfortunately is looks for the variable textViewZ instead of textView1.

[android-beginners] Re: Missing/Hidden/Dissappearing Button problem
I have no idea why, but changing the file name to anything that doesn't begin with the letter a seems to work. I had tried different file names, but all of them began with a. I don't have any idea why this would affect anything. I have other files the same size (both in pixels and in kb) that begin with a that work just fine.

Yes. (getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.attack_any) != null) returns true.

If I change to another image of the same size, the button shows up just fine. I've tried replacing the image file, renaming it, resizing it. Always with the same results. I tried using the attack_any drawable for another button and it disappears as well. I've also tried moving the button and changing its size, but the problem persists. I've even tried drawing the background in XML rather than java and it still will not show up. attack_any.png is a 60x60px image 1kb in size.

it work!

Search for startActivityForResut(), setResult() and onActivityResult().

[android-beginners] Changing button image based on user input.
I've searched high and low for a way to do this, but have come up with nothing. I want to have a button on my main screen (button1). When button1 is pressed, it takes me to a 2nd screen with multiple buttons. (this part is done). When a user presses a button on that screen, it goes back to the main screen and changes that button to the same image as the button they pressed. Example Screen 1 -Button1 (set as image_1 - dynamic) Screen 2 -Button2 (set as image_1 - static) -Button3 (set as image_2 - static) If Button3 is pressed, Button1 will now be set as image_2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.
