dialog.show() crashes my application, why?

- by user1739462

I'm new in adroid. I like to do things when the color reach a value. I like (for example) show the alert if r is bigger than 30, but the application go in crash. Thank for very simple answares. public class MainActivity extends Activity { private AlertDialog dialog; private AlertDialog.Builder builder; private BackgroundColors view; public class BackgroundColors extends SurfaceView implements Runnable { public int grand=0; public int step=0; private boolean flip=true; private Thread thread; private boolean running; private SurfaceHolder holder; public BackgroundColors(Context context) { super(context); } Inside this loop while running is true. is impossible to show dialogs ?? public void run() { int r = 0; while (running){ if (holder.getSurface().isValid()){ Canvas canvas = holder.lockCanvas(); if (r > 250) r = 0; r += 10; if (r>30 && flip){ flip=false; // ********************************* dialog.show(); // ********************************* // CRASH !! } try { Thread.sleep(300); } catch(InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } canvas.drawARGB(255, r, 255, 255); holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas); } } } public void start() { running = true; thread = new Thread(this); holder = this.getHolder(); thread.start(); } public void stop() { running = false; boolean retry = true; while (retry){ try { thread.join(); retry = false; } catch(InterruptedException e) { retry = true; } } } public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e){ dialog.show(); return false; } protected void onSizeChanged(int xNew, int yNew, int xOld, int yOld){ super.onSizeChanged(xNew, yNew, xOld, yOld); grand = xNew; step =grand/15; } } public void onCreate(Bundle b) { super.onCreate(b); view = new BackgroundColors(this); this.setContentView(view); builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage("ciao"); builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { Log.d("Basic", "It worked"); } }); dialog = builder.create(); } public void onPause(){ super.onPause(); view.stop(); } public void onResume(){ super.onResume(); view.start(); } }

Thread class closing from other Class (Activity) with protected void onStop() Android

- by user1761337

I have a Problem with Closing the Thread. I will Closing the Thread with onStop,onPause and onDestroy. This is my Source in the Activity Class: @Override protected void onStop(){ super.onStop(); finish(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); finish(); } @Override public void onDestroy() { this.mWakeLock.release(); super.onDestroy(); } And the Thread Class: public class GameThread extends Thread { private SurfaceHolder mSurfaceHolder; private Handler mHandler; private Context mContext; private Paint mLinePaint; private Paint blackPaint; //for consistent rendering private long sleepTime; //amount of time to sleep for (in milliseconds) private long delay=1000/30; //state of game (Running or Paused). int state = 1; public final static int RUNNING = 1; public final static int PAUSED = 2; public final static int STOPED = 3; GameSurface gEngine; public GameThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Context context, Handler handler,GameSurface gEngineS){ //data about the screen mSurfaceHolder = surfaceHolder; mHandler = handler; mContext = context; gEngine=gEngineS; } //This is the most important part of the code. It is invoked when the call to start() is //made from the SurfaceView class. It loops continuously until the game is finished or //the application is suspended. private long beforeTime; @Override public void run() { //UPDATE while (state==RUNNING) { Log.d("State","Thread is runnig"); //time before update beforeTime = System.nanoTime(); //This is where we update the game engine gEngine.Update(); //DRAW Canvas c = null; try { //lock canvas so nothing else can use it c = mSurfaceHolder.lockCanvas(null); synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) { //clear the screen with the black painter. //reset the canvas c.drawColor(Color.BLACK); //This is where we draw the game engine. gEngine.doDraw(c); } } finally { // do this in a finally so that if an exception is thrown // during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an // inconsistent state if (c != null) { mSurfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c); } } this.sleepTime = delay-((System.nanoTime()-beforeTime)/1000000L); try { //actual sleep code if(sleepTime>0){ this.sleep(sleepTime); } } catch (InterruptedException ex) { Logger.getLogger(GameThread.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } while (state==PAUSED){ Log.d("State","Thread is pausing"); try { this.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } }} How i can close the Thread from Activity Class??

When to use new layouts and when to use new activities?

- by cmdfrg

I'm making a game in Android and I'm trying to add a set of menu screens. Each screen takes up the whole display and has various transitions available to other screens. As a rough summary, the menu screens are: Start screen Difficult select screen Game screen. Pause screen. Game over screen. And there are several different ways you can transition between screen: 1 - 2 2 - 3 3 - 4 (pause game) 4 - 1 (exit game) 4 - 3 (resume game) 3 - 5 (game ends) Obviously, I need some stored state when moving between screens, such as the difficulty level select when starting a game and what the player's score is when the game over screen is shown. Can anyone give me some advice for the easiest way to implement the above screens and transitions in Android? All the create/destroy/pause/resume methods make me nervous about writing brittle code if I'm not careful. I'm not fond of using an Activity for each screen. It seems too heavy weight, having to pass data around using intents seems like a real pain and each screen isn't a useful module by itself. As the "back" button doesn't always go back to the previous screen either, my menu layout doesn't seem to fit the activity model well. At the moment, I'm representing each screen as an XML layout file and I have one activity. I set the different buttons on each layout to call setContentView to update the screen the main activity is showing (e.g. the pause button changes the layout to the pause screen). The activity holds onto all the state needed (e.g. the current difficulty level and the game high score), which makes it easy to share data between screens. This seems roughly similar to the LunarLander sample, except I'm using multiple screens. Does what I have at the moment sound OK or am I not doing things the typical Android way? Is there a class I can use (e.g. something like ViewFlipper) that could make my life easier? By the way, my game screen is implemented as a SurfaceView that stores the game state. I need the state in this view to persist between calls to setContentView (e.g. to resume from paused). Is the right idea to create the game view when the activity starts, keep a reference to it and then use this reference with setContentView whenever I want the game screen to appear?

Update View at runtime in Android

- by seretur

The example is pretty straightforward: i want to let the user know about what the app is doing by just showing a text (canvas.drawText()). Then, my first message appears, but not the other ones. I mean, i have a "setText" method but it doesn't updates. onCreate(Bundle bundle) { super.onCreate(bundle); setContentView(splash); // splash is the view class loadResources(); splash.setText("this"); boundWebService(); splash.setText("that"): etc(); splash.setText("so on"); } The view's text drawing works by doing just a drawText in onDraw();, so setText changes the text but doesn't show it. Someone recommended me replacing the view with a SurfaceView, but it would be alot of trouble for just a couple of updates, SO... how the heck can i update the view dinamically at runtime? It should be quite simple, just showing a text for say 2 seconds and then the main thread doing his stuff and then updating the text... Thanks! Update: I tried implementing handler.onPost(), but is the same story all over again. Let me put you the code: package coda.tvt; import android.app.Activity; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; public class ThreadViewTestActivity extends Activity { Thread t; Splash splash; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); splash = new Splash(this); t = new Thread(splash); t.start(); splash.setTextow("OA"); try { Thread.sleep(4000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } splash.setTextow("LALA"); } } And: public class Splash implements Runnable { Activity activity; final Handler myHandler = new Handler(); public Splash(Activity activity) { this.activity=activity; } @Override public void run() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public synchronized void setTextow(final String textow) { // Wrap DownloadTask into another Runnable to track the statistics myHandler.post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { TextView t = (TextView)activity.findViewById(R.id.testo); t.setText(textow); t.invalidate(); } }); } } Although splash is in other thread, i put a sleep on the main thread, i use the handler to manage UI and everything, it doesn't changes a thing, it only shows the last update.

Rotate triangle so that its tip points in the direction of the point on the screen that we last touched

- by Sid

OpenGL ES - Android. Hello all, I am unable to rotate the triangle accordingly in such a way that its tip always points to my finger. What i did : Constructed a triangle in by GL.GL_TRIANGLES. Added touch events to it. I can rotate the triangle along my Z-axis successfully. Even made the vector class for it. What i need : Each time when I touch the screen, I want to rotate the triangle to face the touch point. Need some help. Here's what i implemented. I wonder that where i am going wrong? My code : public class Graphic2DTriangle { private FloatBuffer vertexBuffer; private ByteBuffer indexBuffer; private float[] vertices = { -1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f }; private byte[] indices = { 0, 1, 2 }; public Graphic2DTriangle() { ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); // Use native byte order vertexBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); // Convert byte buffer to float vertexBuffer.put(vertices); // Copy data into buffer vertexBuffer.position(0); // Rewind // Setup index-array buffer. Indices in byte. indexBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length); indexBuffer.put(indices); indexBuffer.position(0); } public void draw(GL10 gl) { gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertexBuffer); gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, indexBuffer); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); } } My SurfaceView class where i've done some Touch Events. public class BallThrowGLSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView{ MySquareRender _renderObj; View _viewObj; float oldX,oldY,dX,dY; final float TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR = 0.6f; Vector2 touchPos = new Vector2(); float angle=0; public BallThrowGLSurfaceView(Context context) { super(context); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub _renderObj = new MySquareRender(context); this.setRenderer(_renderObj); this.setRenderMode(RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub touchPos.x = event.getX(); touchPos.y = event.getY(); Log.i("Co-ord", touchPos.x+"hh"+touchPos.y); switch(event.getAction()){ case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE : dX = touchPos.x - oldX; dY = touchPos.y - oldY; if(touchPos.y > getHeight()/2){ dX = dX*-1; } if(touchPos.x < getWidth()/2){ dY = dY*-1; } _renderObj.mAngle += (dX+dY) * TOUCH_SCALE_FACTOR; requestRender(); Log.i("AngleCo-ord", _renderObj.mAngle +"hh"); } oldX = touchPos.x; oldY = touchPos.y; Log.i("OldCo-ord", oldX+" hh "+oldY); return true; } } Last but not the least. My vector2 class. public class Vector2 { public static float TO_RADIANS = (1 / 180.0f) * (float) Math.PI; public static float TO_DEGREES = (1 / (float) Math.PI) * 180; public float x, y; public Vector2() { } public Vector2(float x, float y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } public Vector2(Vector2 other) { this.x = other.x; this.y = other.y; } public Vector2 cpy() { return new Vector2(x, y); } public Vector2 set(float x, float y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; return this; } public Vector2 set(Vector2 other) { this.x = other.x; this.y = other.y; return this; } public Vector2 add(float x, float y) { this.x += x; this.y += y; return this; } public Vector2 add(Vector2 other) { this.x += other.x; this.y += other.y; return this; } public Vector2 sub(float x, float y) { this.x -= x; this.y -= y; return this; } public Vector2 sub(Vector2 other) { this.x -= other.x; this.y -= other.y; return this; } public Vector2 mul(float scalar) { this.x *= scalar; this.y *= scalar; return this; } public float len() { return FloatMath.sqrt(x * x + y * y); } public Vector2 nor() { float len = len(); if (len != 0) { this.x /= len; this.y /= len; } return this; } public float angle() { float angle = (float) Math.atan2(y, x) * TO_DEGREES; if (angle < 0) angle += 360; return angle; } public Vector2 rotate(float angle) { float rad = angle * TO_RADIANS; float cos = FloatMath.cos(rad); float sin = FloatMath.sin(rad); float newX = this.x * cos - this.y * sin; float newY = this.x * sin + this.y * cos; this.x = newX; this.y = newY; return this; } public float dist(Vector2 other) { float distX = this.x - other.x; float distY = this.y - other.y; return FloatMath.sqrt(distX * distX + distY * distY); } public float dist(float x, float y) { float distX = this.x - x; float distY = this.y - y; return FloatMath.sqrt(distX * distX + distY * distY); } public float distSquared(Vector2 other) { float distX = this.x - other.x; float distY = this.y - other.y; return distX * distX + distY * distY; } public float distSquared(float x, float y) { float distX = this.x - x; float distY = this.y - y; return distX * distX + distY * distY; } } PS : i am able to handle the touch events. I can rotate the triangle with the touch of my finger. But i want that ONE VERTEX of the triangle should point at my finger position respective of the position of my finger.

Android: canvas.drawBitmap with Orientation(MagnetField)Sensor

- by user368374

hallo, i am developing Android app with orientation sensor. now i got problem. What i want to do is, change scale and position of bitmap which read from sd card. The scale and position depend on value from orientation sensor. i use canvas.drawBitmap(), then it cause problem. the app is just shut down. other drawXXX()methods have no problem..any suggestion? public class AnMagImgtestActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener { private SensorManager sensorManager; private MySurfaceView view; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); sensorManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE); view = new MySurfaceView(this); ///make it fullscreen getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); ///give screen a hiropon getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON); setContentView(view); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); List sensors = sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION); if (sensors.size() 0) { Sensor sensor = sensors.get(0); sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensor, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_GAME); } } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); sensorManager.unregisterListener(this); } @Override public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) { } @Override public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) { view.onValueChanged(event.values); } class MySurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{ public MySurfaceView(Context context) { super(context); getHolder().addCallback(this); } @Override public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) { onValueChanged(new float[3]); } @Override public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { } @Override public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) { } void onValueChanged(float[] values) { Canvas canvas = getHolder().lockCanvas(); //String imgfn = "/sdcard/seekcamera"+"/"+regcode+"/to"+"/"+tempnum+".jpg"; String imgfn = "/sdcard/seekcamera"+"/de"+"/to"+"1.jpg"; //String imgfn = "/sdcard/seekcamera"+"/00"+"/00"+"/"+"42.jpg"; File mf = new File(imgfn); Bitmap bitmap0 = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mf.getPath()); if (canvas != null) { Paint paint = new Paint(); paint.setAntiAlias(true); paint.setColor(Color.GREEN); paint.setTextSize(12); canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK); paint.setAlpha(200); for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) { canvas.drawText("values[" + i + "]: " + values[i], 0, paint.getTextSize() * (i + 1), paint); } paint.setColor(Color.WHITE); paint.setTextSize(100+values[2]); paint.setAlpha( (int) (255-values[2])); canvas.drawText("Germany", values[0]*1+20, paint.getTextSize() * 1+values[2]-80, paint); ///here is the problem.. canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap0, values[0],values[1], paint); getHolder().unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas); } } } }

can't get texture to work

- by user583713

It been a while since I use android opengl but for what ever reason I get a white squre box and not the texture I what on the screen. Oh I do not think this would matter but just in case I put a linerlayout view first then the surfaceview on but anyway Here my code: public class GameEngine { private float vertices[]; private float textureUV[]; private int[] textureId = new int[1]; private FloatBuffer vertextBuffer; private FloatBuffer textureBuffer; private short indices[] = {0,1,2,2,1,3}; private ShortBuffer indexBuffer; private float x, y, z; private float rot, rotX, rotY, rotZ; public GameEngine() { } public void setEngine(float x, float y, float vertices[]){ this.x = x; this.y = y; this.vertices = vertices; ByteBuffer vbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(this.vertices.length * 4); vbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); vertextBuffer = vbb.asFloatBuffer(); vertextBuffer.put(this.vertices); vertextBuffer.position(0); vertextBuffer.clear(); ByteBuffer ibb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(indices.length * 2); ibb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); indexBuffer = ibb.asShortBuffer(); indexBuffer.put(indices); indexBuffer.position(0); indexBuffer.clear(); } public void draw(GL10 gl){ gl.glLoadIdentity(); gl.glTranslatef(x, y, z); gl.glRotatef(rot, rotX, rotY, rotZ); gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId[0]); gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); gl.glVertexPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, vertextBuffer); gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, textureBuffer); gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, indices.length, GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, indexBuffer); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); } public void LoadTexture(float textureUV[], GL10 gl, InputStream is) throws IOException{ this.textureUV = textureUV; ByteBuffer tbb = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(this.textureUV.length * 4); tbb.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); textureBuffer = tbb.asFloatBuffer(); textureBuffer.put(this.textureUV); textureBuffer.position(0); textureBuffer.clear(); Bitmap bitmap = null; try{ bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is); }finally{ try{ is.close(); is = null; gl.glGenTextures(1, textureId,0); gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId[0]); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL10.GL_NEAREST); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR); //Different possible texture parameters, e.g. GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT); gl.glTexParameterf(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT); //Use the Android GLUtils to specify a two-dimensional texture image from our bitmap GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0); gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); //Clean up gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId[0]); bitmap.recycle(); }catch(IOException e){ } } } public void setVector(float x, float y, float z){ this.x = x; this.y = y; this.z = z; } public void setRot(float rot, float x, float y, float z){ this.rot = rot; this.rotX = x; this.rotY = y; this.rotZ = z; } public float getZ(){ return z; } }

Android programming - How to acces [to draw on] XML view in main.xml layout, using code

- by user556248

Ok I'm a newbie at Android programming, have a hard time with the graphics part. Understand the beauty of creating layout in XML file, but lost how to access various elements, especially a View element to draw on it. See example of my layout main.xml here; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/root" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/Title" android:text="App title" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000" android:background="#A0A0FF"/> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/PaperLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:orientation="horizontal" android:focusable="true"> <View android:id="@+id/Paper" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:id="@+id/File" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="34dp" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:clickable="true" android:textSize="10sp" android:text="File" /> <Button android:id="@+id/Edit" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="34dp" android:clickable="true" android:textSize="10sp" android:text="Edit" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> As you can see I have a custom app title bar, then a View filling middle, and finally two buttons in bottom. Catching button events and responding to, for example changing title bar text and changing View background color works fine, but how the heck do I access and more importantly draw on the view defined in main.xml UPDATE: That for your suggestion, however besides that I need a View, not ImageView and you are missing a parameter on canvas.drawText and an ending bracket, it does not work. Now this is most likely because you missed the fact that I am a newbie and assuming I can fill in any blanks. Now first of all I do NOT understand why in my main.xml layout file I can create a View or even a SurfaceView element, which is what I need, but according to your solution I don't even specify the View like Anyways I edited my main.xml according to your solution, and slimmed it down a bit for simplicity; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/root" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/Title" android:text="App title" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#000000" android:background="#A0A0FF"/> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/PaperLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:orientation="horizontal" android:focusable="true"> <com.example.MyApp.CustomView android:id="@+id/Paper" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> <com.example.colorbook.CustomView/> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <Button android:id="@+id/File" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="34dp" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:clickable="true" android:textSize="10sp" android:text="File" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> In my main java file, MyApp.java, I added this after OnCreate; public class CustomView extends ImageView { @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { super.onDraw(canvas); canvas.drawText("Your Text", 1, 1, null); } } But I get error on the "CustomView" part; "Implicit super constructor ImageView() is undefined for default constructor.Must define an explicit constructor" Eclipse suggests 3 quick fixes about adding constructor, but none helps, well it removes error but gives error on app when running. I hope somebody can break this down for me and provide a solution, and perhaps explain why I can't just create a View element in my main.xml layotu file and draw on it in code.

Camera Preview App in Android throwing many errors (Nexus 4)

I am trying to develop a camera app that takes a picture and saves it in a SQLite database. I get a lot of errors when executing the application. My code is as below. Any idea? CameraActivity.java private Camera mCamera; private CameraPreview mPreview; private int CAMERA_RETURN_CODE=100; private static final String TAG = "Take_Picture"; public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1; public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO = 2; private Bitmap cameraBmp; private int MAX_FACES = 1; private Face[] faceList; public RectF[] rects; private Canvas canvas; private Drawable pictureDataDrawable; private MySQLiteHelper database; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.camera_activity); //this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //Create an instance of Camera mCamera = getCameraInstance(); setCameraDisplayOrientation(this, 0, mCamera); // Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity. mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera); FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview); preview.addView(mPreview); database = new MySQLiteHelper(getApplicationContext()); Button captureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture); captureButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() { private PictureCallback mPicture; @Override public void onClick(View v) { //mCamera.startPreview(); // get an image from the camera mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture); PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() { @Override public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) { try{ if (data != null) database.addEntry(data); //mCamera.startPreview(); } catch(Exception e){ Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage()); } } } ); } /** A safe way to get an instance of the Camera object. */ public static Camera getCameraInstance(){ Camera c = null; try { c = Camera.open(c.getNumberOfCameras()-1); // attempt to get a Camera instance } catch (Exception e){ // Camera is not available (in use or does not exist) } return c; // returns null if camera is unavailable } public static void setCameraDisplayOrientation(Activity activity, int cameraId, android.hardware.Camera camera) { android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info = new android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo(); android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info); int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay() .getRotation(); int degrees = 360; /*switch (rotation) { case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break; case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break; case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break; case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break; }*/ int result; if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) { result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360; result = (360 - result) % 360; // compensate the mirror } else { // back-facing result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360; } camera.setDisplayOrientation(result); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); //releaseMediaRecorder(); // if you are using MediaRecorder, release it first releaseCamera(); // release the camera immediately on pause event } private void releaseCamera(){ if (mCamera != null){ mCamera.release(); // release the camera for other applications mCamera = null; } } public void startFaceDetection(){ // Try starting Face Detection Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters(); // start face detection only *after* preview has started if (params.getMaxNumDetectedFaces() > 0){ // camera supports face detection, so can start it: mCamera.startFaceDetection(); } } CameraPreview.java public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback { private SurfaceHolder mHolder; private Camera mCamera; private String TAG; private List<Size> mSupportedPreviewSizes; public CameraPreview(Context context, Camera camera) { super(context); mCamera = camera; // Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the // underlying surface is created and destroyed. mHolder = getHolder(); mHolder.addCallback(this); // deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0 mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); } public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { // The Surface has been created, now tell the camera where to draw the preview. try { mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder); mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90); mCamera.startPreview(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.d(TAG, "Error setting camera preview: " + e.getMessage()); } } public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) { // empty.
