Re: [android-developers] Resource linking / imports
Making the usage of .9png images compulsory!

Re: [android-developers] Using SyncAdapter for syncing application data
Nice thought. But do you really think you need an adapter to answer this. This is just a data sync functionality! If its tightly tied to UI re-drawing/customization then you might go with writing SyncAdapter otherwise you can, very well, stick with an interface!

This is a little off topic, but yet, if you might have noticed(just that I've noticed) there is a DNS cache error in all of google's products that connects to the internet! Not sure of Chrome - but Android sure has a problem - Dont have the issue number here but yeah, it is STILL there. What version does your phone run?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Poor roaming performance ! Is it an Android bug ?
Correct - if the browser behaves so clear the browser cache As browser is like any other app, you can clear whichever applications' cache and it might work!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Disable Bluetooth discoverable mode
U cant make the device discoverable for more than 300 seconds using any means. Based on the constants mentioned in the above link, u basically define whats ur service using the bluetooth capability for! If u use to stream audio, you can define the BluetoothClass constant as Audio. NDK is also another way to go about. You can achieve performance there, albeit I've not used the NDK for BlueTooth Gyan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Disable Bluetooth discoverable mode
Two answers: 1. Call the intended service instead of using the DISCOVERABLE option. Because every 300 seconds there will be a dialog box asking you make the device discoverable. If you make a service call, the device need not be discoverable to use the service. 2. There is an issue in the issue tracker regarding this. STAR it, so that in the future other developers might not experience this problem.

Re: [android-developers] Image viewer widget with zooming capability

Re: [android-developers] Re: Gallery elasticity at the ends
Hey Nik... I got what you are trying to implement. If I'm not wrong its called inertial scrolling. You can see google scoreboard app in the market which has this already not exactly though. When that app came out first I tried implementing the feel through layout animation. The page contained empty space on either ends of the list as list items without the ListSeperator which onLoad scrolls back to the top or bottom of the list - smooth and quick - as you let go of the touch. I had implemented that through layout animation I bet there would be other ways of doing it...

[android-developers] Text getting cut-off in a list view
I have a list of text views in my screen. The text in one of the list item gets cut-off on the right side. There is no padding attached in the layout and there are no over-lapping layouts. But when i focus that particular list item the text view is re-drawn and re-positioned to give me uncut text. This happens inconsistently. Is this an existing issue with the framework??

[android-developers] Bug while selecting from a list of multi-select items whilst using filterable
I'm displaying the contacts in a Multi-select Ok, Cancel dialog box. I've
implemented Filterable for the adapter that displays the contacts in the
dialog. The problem is, once i try and select(check) a contact while i'm
using a type ahead, the check box in that particular position is checked and
not the contact.
The initial screen goes like
After type-ahead,
When I hit backspace, the screen appears as,
This is my activity.
Cursor c =
getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION,
null, null,
Contacts.People.DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER);
startManagingCursor(c);
ListAdapter adapter1 = new
ContactListAdapter(this, c);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)
this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = (View)
inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view, null);
listView = (ListView)
view.findViewById(R.id.contactlist);
listView.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
listView.setAdapter(adapter1);
listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
listView.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
alertDialog.setView(view);
The adapter goes like,
public class ContactListAdapter extends CursorAdapter implements Filterable
{
public static final String[] PEOPLE_PROJECTION = new String[] { People._ID,
People.NAME, People.NUMBER };
public ContactListAdapter(Context context, Cursor c) {
super(context, c);
mContent = context.getContentResolver();
}
@Override

final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
final TextView view = (TextView) inflater.inflate(
