[android-beginners] android source integrated into Eclipse
I am interested in installing the Android source so that when I am debugging my app I can step into an Android SDK call, is this possible and if so are there directions somewhere on how to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] getIntExtra only returns default value
I am trying to pass an integer between activities using an intent. The source activity makes the calls info.id is the selected item from a ListView. Intent intent = new Intent(myActivity.this, newClass.class); intent.putExtra(selectedItem, info.id); this.startActivity(intent); The target activity retrieves the intent using getIntent then calls int iSelectedItem = intent.getIntExtra(selectedItem, -1); iSelectedItem is always -1 instead of the value passed to putExtra. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or do I misunderstand the use of intents? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] passing arbitrary data types to a sub activity
Looking for a way to pass an arbitrary data type to a sub-activity. Seems like Intents are missing something like intent.putExtra(String name, Object object) or bundle.putObject(String name,Object object) where object can be any type (such as ListMyClass). L I looked at all the type that can be pass via a Bundle or Intent and did not see any method that supports arbitrary data types. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: passing arbitrary data types to a sub activity
Yes I saw that and the use of Parcelable seems like overkill just to pass an arbitrary data type in an Intent. Wonder if anyone knows why the Android Framework does not support putExtra on an arbitrary data type that can be cast into something like an Object?

[android-beginners] Re: setContentView fails when creating a new activity
It appears that the order attribute declaration matters for layout
declarations, for example the following causes an exception to be
thrown that says that the layout_width should be in line 2 of the XML
but if the id attribute is placed at the bottom of the list of
attributes the exception goes away.
Does anyone know if the order of attribute declarations appears in the
Android docs anywhere?
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:id=@+id/MyRelativeLayout
android:orientation=vertical
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
ListView android:id=@+id/MyListView
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:scrollbars=vertical
android:smoothScrollbar=true
android:visibility=visible
android:layout_alignParentTop=true

That looks like the content of the stack from the eclipse debug
perspective. What's the actual exception/error? If you resume the run
(perhaps more than once) the complete stack with error will eventually get
dumped to the log. You can then view it in the logcat window (a tab in the
right pane of the debug perspective).

[android-beginners] Edit Source Lookup Path... during debugging???
I am developing on a Mac with Eclipse and have the skeleton for an app that implements the standard framework callbacks (onCreate, onDestroy, onPause, etc..). When I set breakpoints in the callbacks the debugger stops and displays a tab that says ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread $ActivityRecord,Intent)line:2477 and in the tab page body there is some red text that says Source not found and a button that says Edit Source Lookup Path I have tried adding several paths via Edit Source Lookup Path... but can't see to find the one Eclipse is looking for.
