Oh, well, thanks for your response anyway.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Eclipse can't seem to locate R.java
That's not a dependency issue. Creating the R.java file is part of the build process, and if you don't let Eclipse build automatically, you will need to force a project compilation every time you add/remove a resources so that the R class is updated. People who work with the Ant build script already have to do this. Eclipse does improve on this by using the automatic build, but you can do without if you remember to manually recompile when needed.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Bug in SDK Manager: cannot update
Yes. this is the solution. The problem is that older version of Java lack a XML schema validator. Unfortunately, the SDK tools revert to the wrong code path when this happens and it looks like the schema is more recent that the tools and it requires to update the tools first. Use the MacOS X software update feature to get the newest version of Java. Xav On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 5:51 PM, Mugdha Bendre wrote: > Nope, I gave up and switched to a Linux workstation.

[android-beginners] 'drawable' vs. 'drawable-hdpi' in Online Tutorial
It seems the online tutorials have not been rewritten to reflect Android 2.1. For they still refer to 'drawable' and 'res/drawable', but when I create a new project for 2.1 using the wizard, I do not GET any such directory. Instead, I get 'res/drawable-hdpi', 'res/drawable- ldpi' and 'res/drawable-mdpi'. Now for some tutorials, I have been able to get by by putting files in 'res/drawable-hdpi'. But for the TabLayout tutorial, http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html, this does not work. I still get the error message (on completion of step 3) "R.drawable.ic_tab_artists cannot be resolved". The files "ic_tab_artists_grey.png" and "ic_tab_artists_whit.png" really are in res/drawable-hdpi. I also tried changing the name 'drawable' to 'drawable-hdpi', but Java did not like the '-' in the name (no surprise). So how are we supposed to get this to work? Go back to 1.5? Surely there is a better way. Just for clarity's sake, the line of code I get the error on is: spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists", // res.getDrawable (R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)) .setContent(intent); in HelloTabWidget.java.

[android-beginners] Re: I have note pad where are notepads files saved???
To view files on the emulator you open a new view and under the android folder select file explorer. The files get put, I think, into /data/data/my.project.path/ Files have the permissions of the program that created them, and no other programs can access them unless they are signed by the same developer. Since the project is in java, have you considered doing your parsing in java? Also, you may be able to upload them to your web-server and have them manipulated off of the device.

[android-beginners] Want to get senders name from contacts when receiving a sms message
I am developing a application that speaks out the contents of the users sms messages and I am having problems getting the senders name to show up. It only says the phone number when they receive a text message. So I need to make a content provider and pull the number from the contacts database based on the senders phone number. Can anybody help with starting the content provider. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!

[android-beginners] Re: Gradient Image
Is that code that I pasted any good ? Because if I only use the . tags/code it won't recognize it... Also why those folders ? Because they actually are created when creating a 1.6 project... The multiple resolutions were introduced with 1.6, versions prior to that should only have one directory, now they have 3 : drawable-dpi, drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi i just tried with bottom|left and this is the result : http://rapidshare.com/files/344319470/device_resized.png.html Is it maybe because I use that full-screen option ?

Thanks, about that gradient tutorial from that blog that one I already knew off :P I have searched a lot on the net before even posting here :D About your solution : If I try that it will actually resize the background to a little version of itself and place it aligned with the bottom of the screen, anwyays it WILL get resized/scaled...

Also, another thing I noticed : I also have some Images with text, those look ultra-sharp on my pc but they look kinda unsharp on the device... I don't understand why this would happen ? I always select the min height and min width as the actual Images sizes so that they don't get resized (with loss of quality) still no good results unfortunately...

[android-beginners] Re: Gradient Image
Actually I have added : android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"> to my manifest so that there wouldn't be a upper and lower bar... I did set the minimum height and width to 480 and 320 pixels... Setting the android:layout="bottom" on the used RealtiveLayout (with the Image as background) still will result into a hideous version of the original Image... To try the ImageView option of Robert how do I create a ImageView and afterwards paint other stuf on top of that ? I mean I create a RelativeLayout, place an imageView in it, but afterwards I'd like to place another RelativeLayout (with several items) on top of that, how is this done ?
