AdView requests new add every time SeekBar is touched

I am creating a live wallpaper settings activity. It has a few seek bars and an Ad Mob ad view. Every time I touch one of the seek bars the ad temporarily disappears and then reloads a new add. However, the ad does not change when any of the other preferences are touched. How do I stop the ad from reloading when a seek bar preference is touched? I am pretty stumped on this one :-). Code follows:
The ad preference class:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.preference.Preference;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import com.google.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.ads.AdSize;
import com.google.ads.AdView;
public class AdPreference extends Preference {
public AdPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {super (context, attrs, defStyle);}
public AdPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {super(context, attrs);}
public AdPreference(Context context) {super(context);}
#Override
protected View onCreateView(ViewGroup parent) {
// this will create the linear layout defined in ads_layout.xml
View view = super.onCreateView(parent);
// the context is a PreferenceActivity
Activity activity = (Activity)getContext();
// Create the adView
AdView adView = new AdView(activity, AdSize.BANNER, "a151390e12917b5");
((LinearLayout)view).addView(adView);
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.addTestDevice("23392C83B8B55DE893A18286CB92DDA2");
request.addTestDevice("E1BAA0317138AEE05268B2E4F76B2D3F");
adView.loadAd(request);
return view;
}
}

I think onCreateView will be called multiple times so an ad request will be created every time. Try moving your admob code to something like onBind or onAttached.

Saving float from seekbar using dialogue preference

I'm using a custom dialog preference to generate a seekbar in my preferences menu.
After researching seekbar implementation, to obtain the float value I need from the seekbar I have written the following code:
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seek, int newValue,
boolean fromTouch) {
// Round the value to the closest integer value.
if (stepSize >= 1) {
value = Math.round(newValue/stepSize)*stepSize;
}
else {
value = newValue;
}
// Set the valueText text.
float sValue = newValue*10;
sValue = sValue/100;
valueText.setText(Float.toString(sValue));
Which produces the float that I want. However, I want to be able to use this float in my main activity. I have attempted to store it using SharedPreferences using:
userPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
Editor editor = userPrefs.edit()
editor.putFloat("mpm", sValue);
editor.commit();
Which is how I've learned to use SharedPreferences in a class extending Activity.
However as this seekbar extends Dialogue Preference I cannot use
getBaseContext()
As I get the error that the method getBaseContext is undefined for this type.
I have tried changing getBaseContext() to getContext() but this has been unsuccessful although that may be because I am unfamiliar with this implementation.
How can I save this float from the dialogue preference and use the value in a different class?
The code I am using to retrieve SharedPreferences:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.logbook);
initialise();
userPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
list = userPrefs.getString("list", "10");
userswallstring = userPrefs.getString("height", "10.0");
try {
usersWall = Float.valueOf(userswallstring.trim());
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception

mpm = userPrefs.getFloat("mpm", 2);

How is EasyEditSpan used in Android to allow partial text editing?

I want to allow the user to edit just part of a line of text in my Android app. I see a class called the EasyEditSpan but when I stick it into a TextView nothing happens. I tried making the TextView editable but it still doesn't have any effect. If switch to an EditText then the whole line of text is editable which is also incorrect. Here is my code:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
TextView testView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);
testView.setText(buildMiddleEditSpannable("Please enter your ", "Name", " here."));
}
public static Spannable buildMiddleEditSpannable(CharSequence beginning, CharSequence middle, CharSequence end) {
int spanMidStart = beginning.length();
int spanMidEnd = spanMidStart + middle.length();
SpannableString span = new SpannableString(new StringBuilder(middle).insert(0, beginning).append(end));
span.setSpan(new EasyEditSpan(), spanMidStart, spanMidEnd, 0);
return span;
}

After looking at the framework code referring to EasyEditSpan (EasyEditSpan, TextView and TextUtils), it become apparent that even though it says in its description:
Provides an easy way to edit a portion of text.
The currently available functionality is limited to just the second part of the description as follow:
The TextView uses this span to allow the user to delete a chuck of text in one click. the text. TextView removes this span as soon as the text is edited, or the cursor moves.
Here's some quick sample code that demonstrates its use:
public class EasyEditSpanActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final EditText editText = new EditText(this);
setContentView(editText);
showToast("Longclick to set EasyEditSpan for the line on cursor");
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
editText.setSingleLine(false);
editText.setText("####\n#######\n###\n######\n####".replace("#", "text "));
editText.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
final Layout layout = editText.getLayout();
final int line = layout.getLineForOffset(editText.getSelectionStart());
final int start = layout.getLineStart(line);
final int end = layout.getLineEnd(line);
editText.getEditableText().setSpan(new EasyEditSpan(), start, end,
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
showToast("Edit line to show EasyEdit window");
return true;
}
});
}
private void showToast(String message) {
Toast.makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
So unfortunately if you need a way to allow the user to edit just part of a line of text in your app, EasyEditSpan does not seem to help much. It is likely you will need to implement some code utilizing ClickableSpan and probably a custom dialog.

You might be better of using ClickableSpan and popup a dialog to edit the content. However, I tried to implement partially editable textview. This is not complete and may have some rough edges. It uses three spans and overrides onSelectionChanged(int selStart, int selEnd) and onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) methods to disable edits while the target is part1 or part3. Hope it helps.

Remove seconds and AM/PM from Digital clock widget

I want to remove the seconds and AM/PM indication from the digital clock widget but I don't know how to do this.

It is hard-coded in the DigitalClock class, so you can't change it programatically. The only way to change it is to re-implement DigitalClock widget. Yo can get source code from here.
You need to copy this code in your project, rename it like "MyDigitalClock" and use this one as your widget. As you will see in the implementation, there are two variables you should focus on to get what you want:
private final static String m12 = "h:mm:ss aa";
private final static String m24 = "k:mm:ss";
ss represents seconds and aa represents am/pm.

You could use addTextChangedListener() and then take out the seconds and AM/PM in afterTextChanged(). This example just removes the seconds:
DigitalClock dc = (DigitalClock) findViewById(R.id.currentTime);
dc.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (s.charAt(4) == ':') {
s.delete(4, 7);
} else if (s.charAt(5) == ':') {
s.delete(5, 8);
}
}
});

Let me little extend and refresh perfect answer from Erol.
Actually you need add one file to your project and update xml layout.
Sample could be taken from here: /frameworks/base/core/java/android/widget/DigitalClock.java

Slider on my PreferenceScreen

I want my preference menu to have something to change the duration of a vibration.
There is no slider tag for prefs.xml, so what is the best way to do this?

I improved the link provided by Macarse, so that the value is saved only on ok button click, and so that you can use #string/... values in the XML file.
Here is the code:
/* The following code was written by Matthew Wiggins
* and is released under the APACHE 2.0 license
*
* http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

* Improvements :
* - save the value on positive button click, not on seekbar change
* - handle #string/... values in xml file

switch(item.getItemId()) {

break;
}
}
return true;
}
}
SettingsActivity :
package fr.at.testsliderpref;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import fr.at.testsliderpref.utils.SeekBarPreference;
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Call super :
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set the activity's fragment :
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, new SettingsFragment()).commit();
}
public static class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {
private SeekBarPreference _seekBarPref;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Load the preferences from an XML resource
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.activity_settings);
// Get widgets :

// Set listener :

// Set seekbar summary :
int radius = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getActivity()).getInt("SEEKBAR_VALUE", 50);
_seekBarPref.setSummary(this.getString(R.string.settings_summary).replace("$1", ""+radius));
}
#Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
// Set seekbar summary :
int radius = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getActivity()).getInt("SEEKBAR_VALUE", 50);
_seekBarPref.setSummary(this.getString(R.string.settings_summary).replace("$1", ""+radius));
}
}
}

</resources>
Don't forget to add your SettingsActivity to the manifest, and it should be OK.

You could create your own Preference class that extends DialogPreference and shows a SeekBar as the dialog view.

An easy way to achieve this is to add an empty preference to your preferences.xml which uses a layout including a seekbar.
In your preferences.xml add
<Preference android:layout="#layout/sliderlayout" />
under layouts add the sliderlayout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<SeekBar
android:id="#+id/seekBar1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

If you already moved to androidX you can simply use androidx.preference.SeekBarPreference. Documentation here and here
Define it in XML like this:
<SeekBarPreference
app:defaultValue="8"
app:key="COUNT_SPEED"
app:title="Fast count speed"
/>
Note: Now in Android Studio (my current version is 3.2.1) auto-suggestions doesn't work for androidx.preference.PreferenceScreen in prefs.xml, but don't worry inflating settings from xml with setPreferencesFromResource() works fine. All needed attributes names and component references you can find here.

This is good Slider Preference component - Android Slider Preference Library
https://github.com/jayschwa/AndroidSliderPreference

One more implementation of this.
All Credit goes to Tim Autin.
I wanted to have the values displayed loaded from XML Arrays
It looks like this
Code - this now extends ListPreference
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.ListPreference;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class SeekBarListPreference extends ListPreference implements SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener, View.OnClickListener {
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Private attributes :
private static final String androidns = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
private SeekBar mSeekBar;
private TextView mSplashText, mValueText;
private Context mContext;
private String mDialogMessage;
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public SeekBarListPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
mContext = context;
// Get string value for dialogMessage :
int mDialogMessageId = attrs.getAttributeResourceValue(androidns, "dialogMessage", 0);
if (mDialogMessageId == 0)
mDialogMessage = attrs.getAttributeValue(androidns, "dialogMessage");
else mDialogMessage = mContext.getString(mDialogMessageId);
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// DialogPreference methods :
#Override
protected View onCreateDialogView() {
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params;
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(mContext);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setPadding(6, 6, 6, 6);
mSplashText = new TextView(mContext);
mSplashText.setPadding(30, 10, 30, 10);
if (mDialogMessage != null)
mSplashText.setText(mDialogMessage);
layout.addView(mSplashText);
mValueText = new TextView(mContext);
mValueText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
mValueText.setTextSize(32);
params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layout.addView(mValueText, params);
mSeekBar = new SeekBar(mContext);
mSeekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);
layout.addView(mSeekBar, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
setProgressBarValue();
return layout;
}
#Override
protected void onPrepareDialogBuilder(AlertDialog.Builder builder) {
// do not call super
}
private void setProgressBarValue() {
String mValue = null;
if (shouldPersist()) {
mValue = getValue();
}
final int max = this.getEntries().length - 1;
mSeekBar.setMax(max);
mSeekBar.setProgress(this.findIndexOfValue(mValue));
}
#Override
protected void onBindDialogView(View v) {
super.onBindDialogView(v);
setProgressBarValue();
}
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seek, int value, boolean fromTouch) {
final CharSequence textToDisplay = getEntryFromValue(value);
mValueText.setText(textToDisplay);
}
private CharSequence getEntryFromValue(int value) {
CharSequence[] entries = getEntries();
return value >= 0 && entries != null ? entries[value] : null;
}
#Override
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
#Override
public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
}
#Override
public void showDialog(Bundle state) {
super.showDialog(state);
Button positiveButton = ((AlertDialog) getDialog()).getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
positiveButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (shouldPersist()) {
final int progressChoice = mSeekBar.getProgress();
setValueIndex(progressChoice);
}
getDialog().dismiss();
}
}
The usage in the preferences file is now
<com.yourfullpackage.SeekBarListPreference
android:defaultValue="0"
android:dialogMessage="#string/time_limit_pref"
android:entries="#array/timeListArray"
android:entryValues="#array/timeListValues"
android:key="time"
android:summary="Select time limit"
android:title="Time"
/>
And the arrays
<string-array name="timeListArray">
<item>10 Seconds</item>
<item>30 Seconds</item>
<item>1 Minute</item>
<item>2 Minutes</item>
<item>Unlimited</item>
</string-array>
<!--This is going to be in seconds-->
<string-array name="timeListValues">
<item>10</item>
<item>30</item>
<item>60</item>
<item>120</item>
<item>0</item>
</string-array>
As a bonus if you already have ListPreferences, you don't need to add anything extra to display the summary as the current value. So this works just fine
#Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {
SetSummaryForPreferenceKey(key);
}
private void SetSummaryForPreferenceKey(String key) {
Preference preference = findPreference(key);
// This works with our new SeekBarPreference
if (preference instanceof ListPreference) {
ListPreference listPref = (ListPreference) preference;
listPref.setSummary(listPref.getEntry());
}
}

I've made a slight improvement on the code provided in the answer by Tim. This simply makes live adjustments to the output value as the user moves the slider, rather than requiring the user to click the "Ok" button for the changes to be made.
This is useful for things like a Music Volume slider, where the user should be able to hear the adjustment in volume as it's being made.
If the user clicks "OK" the new value is maintained. If the user clicks "Cancel" then the original pre-adjustment value is restored.
Thanks and credit should go to Tim, I just added the extra onClick listener and pushed the value updating into the onChange listener.

One small improvement of Tim's answer and its derivates:
protected void onBindDialogView(View v) {
super.onBindDialogView(v);
mSeekBar.setMax(mMax);
mSeekBar.setProgress(mValue);
String t = String.valueOf(mValue);
mValueText.setText(mSuffix == null ? t : t.concat(" " + mSuffix));
}
It will populate current value at start which is otherwise empty until you actually slide the slider.
