Thanks for the reply,sorry for the delayed response
that will only work if i want to create a view. but what if the view is the
same and i want to attached a dynamically created object from the layout,
for example a new keyboard inside a view. you switch the keyboard using the
new layout but the view is the same.
this is why i need to get the resId and parse the xml and not use inflate

If you want to use a layout file, call setContentView() on your
activity, or call getLayoutInflater().inflate().

[android-developers] orientation changes for layouts
Hi,
i have a layout folder with 2 layouts. layout1 and layout2
i have another folder layout-land that has layout1 in it.
i would like to be able to get to all the layouts so i could create a set of
layout like this:
{layout1, layout2, layout1(from layout-land folder)}
is there any way i can use the existing android mechanisim to do that?
if not, what would be the impact of creating my own definition of the layout
folder (for example to have under the layout folder layout1, layout2 and
layout_land1 and have my code do getOrientation to diffrentiate whcih one
should be presented)

by calling the layout-land layout3 i loose the android built-in method to
switch to it when the orientation changes.
that is why i added a proposed solution for that - call the get

layout to switch to. are you saying it wouldn't work? if so, why? and what
would work?

Copy layout/layout1 to layout/layout3. Then, all three are available
under unique identifiers.

Correct.
Android does not support the notion of accessing two resources with the
same name from different resource sets at the same time (unless there's
an API for that which I have not seen, which is certainly possible).

[android-developers] Re: getting all the resources from other apks
Thanks Dianne for all your help, i want to make sure i understand: it will be done very differently than what you are describing here (rather would probably be something like the approach I was describing before). meaning querying for the resource ids reliyng on thier sequential nature? and then getting their resource name etc. from the getResourceEntryName(int resid) for example you could just define the resource IDs that are in the skin and what they should contain and not have to worry about any analysis of the resources. not sure i understand what you mean. how do you define the resource IDs? as they are generated. are you referring to hard coding the allowed names in Resources for each skin? or maybe using the file system instead of the resources (would i be able to inflate a layout the resides on the file system and not in resources?)

[android-developers] Re: getting all the resources from other apks
Hi again, just to verify that i am explaining myself correctly. my code takes all the relevant apk's based on the intent filter and wants to take all the resources from the \layout to later be able to inflate them. i get the package name (e.g.,com.android.demo.notepad2) from the returned resolveInfo and i know the folder name (e.g., layout etc.) all i need now is a method to get all the resources in something like: com.android.demo.notepad2:layout on a diffrent apk. thanks On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 12:18 AM, Spektor Yaron spekt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, i know it is done somehow by other applications (for example adding new skins to an existing application w/o knowing the name of the layout ahead of time) what am i missing here. is this not the way to do it? should i copy all resources to the file system and read them from there? would that make sense? would i be able to inflate a view with them this way?

[android-developers] Re: getting all the resources from other apks
Thanks Dianne, i appreciate your help. firstly i am not even sure how to do the single skin version you suggested, unless i state that the resources names must not change which is something i am not eager to do. secondly, i was thinking (in terms of skins) to allow multiple skins at once. so the user selects one or more skins and can see them (lets say i have one default skin and then i click on a change skin button and change it to the next one in line). so my idea (and hopefully i will be able to post it here soon for everyone to use) was to take all the relevant apks based on the intent-filter, and show them to the user to be able to choose from, thus creating a list of skin, for this i need to load the resources for the drawable and the layout etc. (again, skins are just an example) from all the apks i got back from the search. as i said earlier, i may be missing something and there may be a much easier way to do it in android Thanks, Yaron On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 3:03 AM, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.comwrote: I'm not sure what this has to do with skinning.

[android-developers] Re: getting all the resources from other apks
Thanks again Dianne, i don't think your solution will do as i also need to know which class i am in (i need to know that 0x7f02 is a drawable and that 0x7f03 is a layout). Is it possible to get the information i need through the AssetManager? any way to hack into the binary data structure? if not i guess it is back to the drawing-board for me. On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 3:09 AM, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.comwrote: Sorry but this just isn't something we have APIs for right now. I don't recall anyone wanting to do this kind of thing before, so it hasn't been high on our priority list. Note that layout etc at the resource level are not really folder names -- they are just symbolic names for the part of the resource identifier integer that categorizes the resource. The resource system itself revolves almost entirely around integer identifiers; the symbolic names are pretty much just there for the convenience of developers. There is a big binary data structure in the .apk that is used to map from integer identifiers to the corresponding resource value (which may be stored directly inside the data structure for simple resources like integers and strings, or may be a path to another file in the .apk for things like xml data or images). You could probably hack something together by taking advantage of the current implementation detail that the resource system assigns resource identifiers in a sequential manner (sequentially incrementing the entry part and type part of the integer), to step through retrieving names until you get a resource not found exception. However, I can't make any guarantees that this will work in the future.

[android-developers] can not debug application
Hi,
i was wondering if anyone could help me with this one.
i created an input method application and tested it on the emulator (using
Eclipse). it was working fine.
i signed it (with my own private key and later with the debug.keystore) and
installed it with adb. i see it in the list of application but when i get to
an input field the screen doesn't come up (it does come up for any other
input method but mine).
any thoughts?
i looked at the logcat but it doesn't tell me anything. here is some of it:

[android-developers] cropping and changing images on a soft keyboard
Hi,
I am trying to crop an image on a key for a soft keyboard.
i want to do the following:
1.create a key with an icon (from a Bitmap)
2.take that Bitmap and crop it
3.set the new Bitmap back on the key as an icon
Optional:
4.do some or most of this from the XML using the parser (i could not get a
hook to the res/drawable/image name looking at the Xml Parser)
here is what i do:
protected Key createKeyFromXml(Resources res, Row parent, int x, int y,
XmlResourceParser parser) {
Key key = new MyKey(res, parent, x, y, parser);//create a normal
key
Bitmap orgBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res,
R.drawable.sym_keyboard_delete);//i took a new hard-coded image here, but
prefer this to be coming from the xml instead, in the MyKey constructor)
Bitmap cropedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(orgBmp, 0, 0, 20, 10);
//crop the image
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(cropedBitmap);//put it in a canvas, since
draw() only accepts canvas
if(key.icon!=null){ //if icon exists, draw it back on the key
key.icon.draw(canvas);
}
return key;
}
Any ideas why this does not work?
any simpler solutions for this?
Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: cropping and changing images on a soft keyboard
Hi,
I found an answer to my previous question (the code for it is attached
below).
i think the solution is not too elegant so if you have any input on how i
can make it less hard coded i would love to hear it
for example i would like to set the name of the original image with xml and
also the coordinated that i would like to crop from it. and then be able to
extract this information from the parser. what would be the best method of
doing that?
if anyone is interested here is the code i used to get there:
Bitmap orgBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res,
R.drawable.sym_keyboard_delete);
Bitmap cropedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(orgBmp, 0, 0, 20, 10);
BitmapDrawable bitMapDraw = new BitmapDrawable(cropedBitmap);
key.icon= bitMapDraw;
