Is it possible to insert a button at the bottom of a working 3d animation done with Min3d framework in android. I do have a working 3d model car which is rotating. I want to put a button at the bottom of this working animation screen. Is it possible since i am not using any layout.Please explain me with an example so that i can replicate the same with my program.
Yes. Rather, the procedure is to rather add the min3d framework to the layout, using glSurfaceView. The following cocde highlights how to achieve the same, assuming you have the other basics (such as loading the object ) covered. If not, links for the same is provided at the end of this brief.
//import statements
public class threedviewActivity extends RendererActivity implements View.OnClickListener,View.OnTouchListener{
//onClick and onTouch in case you want to recognize both touch and click on the button
//initialize the variables you require
#Override
public void onCreateSetContentView() {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_example);
RelativeLayout R1 = (RelativeLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.SceneHolder);
R1.addView(_glSurfaceView); //adding the min3d view into the layout
Button example_1 = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.example_1);
Button example_2 = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.example_2);
example_1.setOnTouchListener(this);
example_2.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public boolean onTouch(View $v, MotionEvent event) {
switch($v.getId())
{
case R.id.example_1:
//Your actions and things to do
case R.id.example_2:
//your code
}
}
public void onClick(View $v)
{
//similar to above
}
public void initScene()
{
//initialize object and other activities related to the 3d container
}
#Override
public void updateScene()
{
//update effects such as rotation on the object here, based on the button click or touch, etc.
}
}
And the xml file containing the layout/activity should look something like this :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<Button
//your data
android:id="#+id/example_1"
/>
<Button
//your data
android:id="#+id/example_2"
/>
<RelativeLayout
//nested layout which will hold the 3d container
android:id="#+id/SceneHolder">
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
for understanding more about working in initScene() function, you can refer here and here.
You can also add extra effects, by playing around with the lighting properties, as stated here
The basic example for adding into the layout was taken from here . The same page also provides links to many examples in case you want to work with in future.

I have several custom ImageViews which are added to a RelativeLayout dynamically.
public class EmptySoldierView extends ImageView {
.
.
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
EmptySoldierView.this.getAnimation().cancel();
clickListener.onEmptySoldierClicked(player, regionID);
}
}
And I am trying to remove all of these custom views like this:
#Override
public void onEmptySoldierClicked(Player player, int areaID) {
player.addSoldier(areaID);
drawSoldier(player, areaID);
for (EmptySoldierView soldierView : emptySoldiers)
((ViewGroup) soldierView.getParent()).removeView(soldierView);
}
I know the correct way (documented) to remove views is using above approach. But it is not working in my case. I searched, read a lot of posts and struggled for three days before asking.
How to remove dynamically added custom views?
I figured it out. The problem is Animation. View is removed from layout however animation is still on image. animation.cancel() is not enough. I added setAnimation(null) before removing View.
I have a layout which contains lots of images. What I have to do is when an image is clicked, I have to show its details. But I don't want to have onClickListeners for all the images. How can I achieve this?
You don't have to have different handlers for all the images. Instead use one handler for all the images. This would make your code cleaner, manageable and solve your problem too.
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
//...
OnClickListener mHandler = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()) {
case R.id.img1:
//..
break;
case R.id.img2:
//....
break;
}
}
};
ImageButton btn1 = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.img1);
ImageButton btn2 = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.img2);
//...
btn1.SetOnClickListener(mHandler);
btn2.SetOnClickListener(mHandler);
//...
}
One Listener to rule them all.
Implement onClick() on an object, register it as listener
In onClick(), examine the View object passed as parameter to determine which of the images was clicked. You can do anything from getId() to casting it to (ImageView) and getting the actual image out.
Once you know which image was clicked, do what you will with it.
If you're looking to implement custom behavior for an ImageView (or whatever), and then have multiple instances of that type of view, you should subclass the ImageView and put your listener in there. Then you've got an encapsulated View that implements the custom behavior you want, and if you decide later that you want more or less or them, or to put them in another place, it's easy to move the View and its behavior without ripping apart your Activity.
I would like to create a loop somewhere in my Android code that changes the color of a drawable rectangle between two colors continuously at some rate. I would like to start and stop its blinking using two buttons. I have done a lot of research, but just can't seem to figure out how to do it. I am new to android and do not have experience with run() methods. But I am guessing I have to make some kind of rectangle class with a run() method that will animate it into changing colors.
I am also fairly new to android, but I will give it a shot.
Since you say you want it to blink, you should be able to switch the actual image between, lets say, blue and red, with a simple 'for' loop. When the button is pressed, you could change the status of a boolean from false to true. Then, when the 'for' statement is not true anymore, it jumps to the next set of code, which stops it. Here is what I would do.
Your XML for the two buttons:
<Button
android:id="#+id/start"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Start"
android:Clickable="true"
android:onClick="start"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/stop" <!-- Gives the button an ID to use in java code -->
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Stop" <!-- sets the text on the button -->
android:Clickable="true" <!-- makes the button clickable -->
android:onClick="stop" <!-- The method it calls when it is clicked, removes the necessity of an OnClickListener -->
/>
Now, you would have 2 ImageViews: blue_rectangle and red_rectangle, both in the same place in the layout. Here is the XML for the two ImageViews
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/blue_rectangle"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/blue_rectangle" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/red_rectangle"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/red_rectangle" />
This next part is the tricky part.
Here is the Java.
package your.package.name.thingy.here;
//everything it tells you to import goes here
public class BlinkingActivity extends Activity{
ImageView blueRectangle;
ImageView redRectangle;
Button start;
Button stop;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.yourLayout);
blueRectangle = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.blue_rectangle);
redRectangle = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.red_rectangle);
start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stop);
Boolean isBlinking = new Boolean(false);
blinkRectangle(whateverVariableThisNeeds);
}
public static void blinkRectangle(View view){
blueRectangle.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
redRectangle.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
for(initialization; isBlinking; update){
blueRectangle.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
blueRectangle.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
blueRectangle.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}, 2000); //the 2000 is the number of milliseconds for how long blue is visible
redRectangle.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
redRectangle.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run(){
redRectangle.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
}, 2000);
blueRectangle.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); //This prevents a bug where if the user hits the stop button at just the right time, both rectangles will be invisible.
}
public static void start(View view){ //no need to call this anywhere, the XML onClick does it for you
isBlinking = true; //I think this is how you set a boolean, if not, correct me.
}
public static void stop(View view){//same here
isBlinking = false; //again, correct me if I'm wrong.
}
}
Here is what the code basically does.
It has a boolean which is defaulted to false. While it is false, the rectangle does not blink. While it is true, the for statement in blinkRectangle() runs. That for loop makes the blue on visible, waits 2 seconds, makes it invisible, makes the red one visible, waits two seconds, and repeats. The start() and stop() methods switch the boolean to true and false, respectively. I think this type of for loop re-checks the boolean when it gets back to the top. I have never worked with it before. That's what I could gather from the website I looked at.
Well, I think that about does it. If you don't understand what any of the code does, or it doesn't work, or I have the question wrong, or I am just downright wrong, or ANYTHING, just comment on this answer. I hope this works!
Good Luck!
P.S. Here are the websites I used for reference

Wow...I just realized this question is 2 years old. Still, I hope this helps you!
basically I want to encapsulate a simple component from code that I already have.
Basically it's a LinearLayout with buttons inside. These buttons will make changes to a ListView, and there is also some other small stuff that it will do.
Currently I have a XML layout with those, and I programmatically setup everything else: the buttons, the interaction between the list and the other small stuff.
Obviously I thought to myself, let's encapsulate this.
I started out trying to extend the LinearLayout and adding the buttons.
Already I have no idea how to inflate the buttons to add to the view
What method do I override to create this buttons just before the view gets created without messing with the measures and inflations, etc.
I've looked around but the custom components I see are either completely new components or components that simply add small functionality to the custom ones.
Is there some guidelines for doing this?
Good tutorials/examples?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks !
EDIT:
Okay, here is a little more specific stuff.
Basically I want to create a View that holds filter buttons for a ListView. This will be used in different places with different filters, so I need flexibility for the buttons.
Basically I'd like to do something like this:
CustomView view = new CustomView(activity);
view.addButton("Lala", new OnFilterClickListener {
onClick(ListView list, View v) {
// Do the filtering
}
});
mListView.addHeaderView(view);
I want the view to adapt it's weights for showing the buttons, show the user which filter is active, stuff like that.
But I still don't really know how to make those dynamically added buttons appear, where do I generate them, how to inflate them and stuff like that.
public class myLayout extends LinearLayout {
//...
public void addButton(String text, OnClickListener listener) {
Button newButton = new Button(mContext);
newButton.setText(text);
newButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
//Say we want the weights to be equal
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.Fill_PARENT, 1);
addView(newButton, params);
}
//...
}
You can even do something to the view before dispatching the click like this:
public class myLayout extends LinearLayout {
//...
public void addButton(String text, final OnClickListener listener) {
Button newButton = new Button(mContext);
newButton.setText(text);
newButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
//do whatever you want
//like change background of button or something
//finally
listener.onClick(v);
}
});
//Say we want the weights to be equal
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.Fill_PARENT, 1);
addView(newButton, params);
}
//...
}
I'm trying to have an EditText and the possibility to display a keyboard at the bottom of the screen when the user taps the EditText. I'm aware of the InputMethodService and the SoftKeyboard example, but I can't use it in that fashion as my keyboard should only be available to this very EditText.
Furthermore, there should be a context menu, but that's not part of this question (I think).
I've read plenty of code fragments, but in many cases they contain methods that aren't available anymore (i.e., getViewInflate()) or are written in a context that I don't understand or can't translate into my code (mind that I'm a newbie regarding Android).
In most attempts I fail with this exception when I tap the EditText:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: width and height must be > 0
followed by a stack-trace that doesn't contain any of my classes. As you can see in the code below all sizes are set.
What you see below is the current status of the code (I removed some of the code and I hope it still makes sense). I also tried to use what's inside of handler.post() in the main thread, use the commented stuff instead of the handler.post() ...
What's not below is an attempt to use a RelativeLayout with the EditText and the KeyboardView in one layout-XML. There was a different exception, something like "invalid type 0x12" or something when creating the layout.
It just doesn't work or I just don't know how to do it. Can anyone please guide me through this? Please let me know if something is missing.

After hours of "research and trying" stuff, I finally understood my mistake, which seems to be "sjngm"'s one. In order for a virtual keyboard to render, you must
declare the view either by inflating a layout xml file, or by declaring in row your KeyboardView (just as you would do it for an other View).
And what was forgotten here: retrieve your KeyboardView with findViewById() and call on it:
keyboardViewInstance.setKeyboard(new Keyboard(...) );
That's it. You will be able to see your keyboardView on the screen! Of course, you need to either create your own Keyboard class, or to use the existing one with an xml resource file defining your keyboard keys (res/xml/keyboard.xml).
I'm currently reinventing my approach as I think that I didn't break the InputMethodService enough to have it work without itself. In other words I threw away the sample and started from scratch to get the layout working (it's now one layout instead of two) and then added the code from the sample to handle the inputs properly.
After further research I found a really helpful question about an App-specific soft-keyboard. If you run into my situation, look there.
