[android-beginners] Help with UI XML
Hi, I need to create a view in GridView which will have a checkbox over an image (on the bottom right corner). so, when someone selects that image, the checkbox is checked. I know I will have to create a custom adapter but how do I write the XML for the cell?

And the text for the listitem may be 2 lines per item. And the text should be scrollable. Now my idea is to create a generic list which is common to all the listview screens. At runtime i should be able to pass the contents of each list to this generic class. What approach should i take? Can a XML layout solve this purpose.. Please give me some guidelines. Reuse is my main aim.. And for each listitem i should be able to handle click listeners.. Please give me some guidelines.

[android-beginners] Re: database openOrCreateDatabase
I don't know what's causing the error in your code but it seems like
you are using an older version of Android (maybe older than 1.0). I
would recommend upgrading your Android SDK and using the method
suggested in this link: http://moazzam-khan.com/blog/?cat=26paged=2

[android-beginners] Re: how to update a listview
You have to change the data structure that stores the data for the
listView and then call notifyDataSetChange();
Let;s say you are using and ArrayListString lst, you would do
something like this:
public void getRemoteData() {
// .. get data and put it in the array list
adapter.notifyDataSetChange();
}
And, it will update itself.
Hope it made sense and helped :)

[android-beginners] Re: Help with threading and UI changes
Ah, I can't believe I did that. Sorry about that and thanks for your advice. The error was that eclipse kept telling me I was providing the wrong context. And, that the method with such a signature didn't exist. It wouldn't let me even compile the code (let alone run it). Somehow the same code works now without any changes. Although, I added the other activity to my manifest file so maybe that was the issue. I will take a look at the other methods you suggested. - Moazzam On Jul 24, 6:42 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: moazzamk wrote: I have a function in my activity that starts a new thread and that threads send a message back to an event handler.

[android-beginners] Re: Problem with SQLite database, accessing the table
Use a different database name and see if that helps (since it will run your onCreate() method). You can also try changing the name of the table to something else (like user_options) and see if that works.

[android-beginners] Re: java + android newbie! - help on saving data.
You can also try storing it in a database. Here's a post I wrote on how to use databases for storing data in Android : http://moazzam-khan.com/blog/?p=58 - Moazzam On Nov 14, 6:32 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well in case anyone else has a similar problem to me, I found this pretty handy tutorial: http://www.anddev.org/working_with_files-t115.html On Nov 13, 8:35 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, First of all I just want to point out that, though I'm not a complete beginner to programming, I only started learning java on monday! Despite this I've managed fairly well, but have a few questions about savingdata. I want my program to be able to save some basicdata; name, date of birth, stuff like that. I want to avoid the contacts list and preferences, as I will likely besavingthedatafor more than one object in the near future. I was wondering if anyone has any links to, or examples of working save code, which savesdatato either an xml file or some other raw file. I know there's some sample code provided on the android site, but as far as I can see this is mainly used to load resources, and though I am interested in this too, I'm more interested insaving first. Anyhelpat all will be much appreciated. Currently I find myself trolling through documentation and it's getting a little tedious!

[android-beginners] Back end process displaying a UI
Hey guys, I am writing an application in which you a backend process (service) waits for a certain time and then displays a window with a text field. For example, it will wait until 8:30pm today and then display a dialog with a text field with a random message. I have been reading about services but I am still a bit confused about this. It would be great if someone can point me in the right direction.
