I am trying to make a note app and every note can include Checkboxs depending on the user's tasks. The question is how can I inject the EditText with a CheckBox once a button is clicked?. I searched for libraries on GitHub but I could not find something that satisfies me or something that can be customizable. Then I tried to make my custom editor that inherits from AppCompatEditText, and after making that class I looked at it and said how the f I am going to include that checkBox
The same as in the middle green image:
Just add a layout which contains checkbox and edittext, and use the layout when the user adds the note. Simple if statement is enough to make this workaround.

Is there any shortcut for editing properties of a widget in Android Layout editor in ADT?
I need to change gravity of TextView lots of times, but every time I have to use mouse...
You could do a search and replace on a particular string in the layout.
Highlight only the TextViews you want the search to happen in
Search > Search
Enter the string to be replaced and press the "Replace" button or "Replace
All" button.
If you post the exact xml listing of your layout, I can be more exact in which string needs to be replaced. If that solution doesn't work for your particular case, to save some time, I suppose you might also be able to create a particular custom Eclipse template for your TextView.
A third option would be to use inheritance and create a customTextView with the gravity already set a certain way.
And a fourth option still would be to set the properties of your TextViews programmatically after the fact using both XML and Java (instead of only using XML).
I need to add a spinner in my PreferenceCategory with a text on its right is there a way to do that? plus when I create a checkboxpreference the text is on the left how can I make the text appear on the right?
thanks.
If you want to use these built in controls you have to use them the way they are designed. Its also good because it fits the android design that users expect.
If you need to do something different, just make your own preference screen. Its just a list view with click handlers, not too hard to make on your own. Then you get the styling you want.
I'm developing an application and I am facing a problem using ExpandableListView. What I'm trying to do is, in GroupHeader, not only show the group name, but also an spinner with options. That's because I want to show the football second division games in the list but, also, give the option to choose the round, in case the user wants to check older/future games. SO far I have that
As you can see both, title and spinner, shows. Also you can see the arrow on the right which is supposed to expand the list. Problem is that, if I click, only spinner opens, group expand button doesn't. So, here is my question, how can I make both of them work depending on where you click (one or another)??? Is that possible?
Also I must say that if I only place the TextView with the group name works perfect. If I only place the spinner, the problem persists. So I'm guessing that's a focus problem.
Btw: grey areas are the layout backgrounds, so no, they are not hiding behind the button.
I found the solution, I just neede to add this line android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" to the Main Layout of the xml where I define the GroupHeader elements.
I am looking to create something very similar to what Google has done in the Google+ app.
Its hard to describe but please take a look at this screenshot
Google+ app
I am looking to create something similar, of note is that the tags move to the proper line as they fit.
Is this a completely custom solution that Google wrote or is there a library for this somewhere.
It looks like they are decorating the text in the edit text by using spans. They probably have a listener on the edit text listening for modifications at which point they check to see if the most recently added word matches one of your circles. If it does, the create a span over the text and decorate it with a background drawable, font color change, and by adding an image next to it.
Its probably a pretty significant effort depending on how you want to function, but all that functionality is out there in the sdk.
I have a layout of a user entry form.when i enter username and password and hit the submit button.the content should be saved and another div with three textboxes and editboxes should appear in the same page.
Replacing the content might not be the best solution.
Anyway, you can create all these elements together in the same layout and set the "div with three textboxes and editboxes" initially to "hidden".
After you have clicked the button and triggered the desired event, you grab the desired elements and make them visible while setting the unwanted elements to hidden again.
Charles Merriams answer would be the more elegant and cleaner way, this only answers the "base" question.
The magic word you need to look at is "Intent". You call your own application in order to switch layouts after the submit button.
You may find the Notepad tutorial useful.
You can try what DrColossos said or you can try by just setting a different contentview on button click.
