[android-developers] Auto-closing soft input method

Hi, Is there an easy way to have soft input methods automatically closed as soon as the user taps _anywhere_ outside of the corresponding EditText? Sometimes it's not very convenient if the soft input method stays on the display when the user starts performing other actions in the same activity.

[android-developers] addPreferencesFromIntent

Hi, I've been playing around a bit with Preferences and trying to understand how addPreferencesFromIntent works, but I haven't really got it to work. Are there any examples of how to use this at all? I have one (or more) application providing preferences which I want to display in another (host)

Thanks a lot Romain. I feel a bit silly not realizing that sharing Drawable instances wasn't such a good idea :) Thanks again /Henrik On Jun 1, 6:48 pm, Romain Guy wrote: > > This works fine but the performance is not that great while scrolling > > since I'm inflating quite a few Views due to c

[android-developers] Changing 9-patch background on a list item in runtime doesn't always redraw properly

Hi, I have a ListView containing a few different type of items, all having their own background image and font color. In my first implementation I implemented each type of item as its own layout with the background image etc defined in XML (and implemented Adapter.getView() so that it only reuses

[android-developers] Re: Application.onPause()? Is there a hook like this?

Could you use a timer to introduce a short delay for the deactivation of the listeners? For example by wrapping the calls to LocationManager in a utility accessible from both your activities. If activity A is paused by activity B, activity B would then get focus before the timer expires and could

[android-developers] Controlling the width of listview items

Hi, I'm trying to make a list that contains elements not necessarily occupying the entire width of the screen, but even if using android:layout_width="wrap_content" on my elements, they always behave as if their width value were set to "fill_parent" instead. If I set a fixed value for the width,
