Coming from J2ME programming are there any similarities that would make it easy to adapt to Android API. Or is Andorid API completely different from the J2ME way of programming mobile apps.
Hi all,
I want to go to a web page on the click of a button in my android app. So say, I have a button called "Google", when the user clicks on that button I want google.com to open up on the screen. How is this achieved?
Also, is there a way I can gain control back to my app once the user is finished with google?
Thanks
George
I have an Android activity with an ImageButton. I would like to execute some logic when the button is clicked and show a different image for the pressed state, but also receive the touch event on the activity.
By default only the button receives the touch event. If I set the clickable attribute of the button to false then only the activity receives the touch event.
What's the best way to receive the touch event in both the activity and the button?

HI all,
I'm just getting started with developing for Android. I'm looking to port one of my iPhone applications, but I'm kind of at a loss for how to draw a view at runtime (a view not declared in the XML). Basically, I want to draw a simple rectangle, but then be able to manipulate its frame after being drawn.
Sorry if this is a really, really simple question, but I can't seem to find some equivalent to the iPhone SDK here.
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know any guide to test android application on different hardware emulators and also step by step process to publish the application once it is developed and tested on a local emulator?
I'm trying to get a completely custom Dialog or PopupWindow, without any of the default Android UI controls (title, background, buttons, whatever).
Is this possible at all? I've spent hours searching for this, but no luck... It seems like this should be easily possible, but I can't find it.
Preferably this would be by inflating a View from XML, but at this point anything that would just work would be nice.
Thanks.
Hi,
I am planning on converting some longitude and latitude values to XML and then sending the file to a web server to display on a Google Map Interface.
Is it possible to send an XML file to a web server through my own application in Android?
Thanks
I have a layout xml file named my_layout.xml, in which the root view's layout_width and layout_height has been specified as 200px.
<com.jlee.demo.MyLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="200px"
android:layout_height="200px">
If I used this xml to be included in another xml, and specify the layout_width and layout_height as 100px.
<include layout="@layout/my_layout"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="100px"/>
What would be the real width/height of my_layout?

Any idea's?

I have a use-case for a vertical 1x4 home screen widget on android. The supported size is 4x1 ie horizontal. Does anyone know if the vertical version can be implemented?
I realize changing screen orientation would scrunch the widget together, which I'm fine with. Even better would be if there was an equivalent to "overflow hidden" in css.
Has anyone come across a way to do this?
I have the following TextView defined:
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/txtCredits"
android:autoLink="web" android:id="@+id/infoTxtCredits"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:linksClickable="true"></TextView>
where @string/txtCredits is a string resource that contains Link text.
Android is highlighting the links in the TextView, but they do not respond to clicks. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I have to set an onClickListener for the TextView in my activity for something as simple as this?
I'm trying to write a program that needs smooth orientation sensor samples as the phone is rotated all around. Every time the orientation of the phone is changed, it interrupts the data and freezes the program while the layout changes. How can I lock it in one orientation (landscape or portrait, it doesn't matter)?
I assume it has something to do with android:layout in the xml file, but I can't find anything online.
Hi,
I;ve been trying to create a custom button in android using this tutorial - http://www.gersic.com/blog.php?id=56
It works well but it doesn't say how to change the font size or weighting. Any ideas?
There was another question on here and the only answer was to use html styling but you can't change a font size in html without using css (or the deprecated font tag). There must be a better way of setting the pixel size of the font used on buttons?
