setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) doesn't always work. Ideas? - android

I am trying to show a pair of hidden buttons (using setVisibility(View.VISIBLE), within a RelativeLayout), but it doesn't always work. The button shows OK on a Galaxy Tab 10.1" but not in a smaller tablet (not sure which model), nor on an Android 4.0 emulator.
I randomly discovered that, for a certain TextView t, the following code causes the buttons to become visible:
t.setText(t.getText());
...
button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
t is located in the same RelativeLayout but is not related to the buttons (their locations are independent and non-overlapping).
Edit: In case some Android dev wants to track this down...
I was able to reduce the code to the following layout that exhibits the problem on an Android 4.0.3 emulator but not a Galaxy Tab. I found that I need a SurfaceView or the problem does not occur (for example, change it to TextView and the problem disappears).

The Activity class simply toggles the visibility of the two buttons when any of the buttons are clicked. Again, on some devices it works, on others it does not.
package mentor.simplegps;
import android.app.*;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.*;
import android.widget.*;
public class TestActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener
{
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.test);
boilerplate();
setVisibilities();
}
Button _btnShowMap, _btnShowVehicle, _btnShowRoute, _btnShowDestination;
Button _btnUnselect, _btnFindRoute, _btnNavMode;
TextView _title;
void boilerplate()
{
_btnUnselect = attachBtn(R.id.btnUnselect);
_btnShowMap = attachBtn(R.id.btnShowMap);
_btnShowVehicle = attachBtn(R.id.btnShowVehicle);
_btnShowRoute = attachBtn(R.id.btnShowRoute);
_btnShowDestination = attachBtn(R.id.btnShowDestination);
_btnFindRoute = attachBtn(R.id.btnFindRoute);
_btnNavMode = attachBtn(R.id.btnNavMode);
_title = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.title);
}
private Button attachBtn(int btnId) {
Button b = (Button)findViewById(btnId);
b.setOnClickListener(this);
return b;
}
boolean haveSel;
public void onClick(View v)
{
haveSel = !haveSel;
setVisibilities();
}
void setVisibilities()
{
_btnFindRoute.setVisibility(haveSel ? View.VISIBLE : View.INVISIBLE);
_btnUnselect.setVisibility (haveSel ? View.VISIBLE : View.INVISIBLE);
// Fixes the problem
//_title.setText(_title.getText());
}
}

SurfaceView is the sole culprit (of course, this also applies to GLSurfaceView, RSSurfaceView and VideoView, all of which inherits from SurfaceView). It exposes lots of weird behaviours when dealing with other views on top of it. Playing with View.setVisibility() is one of those issues. Clearly, SurfaceView has not been designed to be used with other views (even though the official doc says it ought to be) but as a standalone view for videos, games or OpenGL stuffs.
For the visibility issue, I've found that using View.GONE instead of View.INVISIBLE resolve it. If you don't want to use GONE, try changing the focus for example (and back to the one that had focus before), or changing other states. The goal is to wake up the underlying UI system somehow.
In short: when something weird happens with your views and you have a SurfaceView (or subclass) somewhere, try replacing it with something else so you don't lose hours searching what you're doing wrong when you're doing it right (and no false beliefs). This way, you know SurfaceView is to blame and you can hack around it with beautiful comments to piss on it without qualms.

For the record: I had this problem, tried a bunch of random stuff (thanks Alex!), and in my case what solved it was doing seekBar.requestLayout() directly after the setVisible on the very seekbar that was refusing to show.

This is my Solution
setAlpha(0)
btnName.setAlpha(0)
Is working for all views like => Buttons - Images - Texts and ...

In my case View.VISIBLE/View.GONE was not working always. When I switched my toggle to View.VISIBLE/View.INVISIBLE it started to work as intended.

I (annoyingly) had similar difficulty with having a button on top of a SurfaceView preview and had to put the Button in a RelativeLayout and make the RelativeLayout VISIBLE/INVISIBLE. Might be worth a shot for anyone else having the same issue.
...And I also had to programatically call the layout to be brought to from: buttonLayout.bringToFront() right after findViewById.

Scrollview with many buttons over an image

I want to do something similar to a Map behavior where I have a large Image (bigger than the phone screen) and a group of buttons I want to put over special XY locations over the image, and when the user scrolls the image (horizontally and vertically), the buttons keep the same position over the image (like markers do). Then the user can click over a button and open a new activity.
I want to do this in xml. Any suggestion?
I cant figure out how to attach the buttons with the image XY positions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/map_view"
android:background="#drawable/myImage"/>
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 1"
android:id="#+id/radioButton" />
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 2"
android:id="#+id/radioButton2" />
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 3"
android:id="#+id/radioButton3" />`
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
Instead of scrollview you should change imageview position on touch. If user touches top-down , imageview position should goes to negative direction same as top-down pixels. Therefore your imageview can move to right-left as well.
Get the touch position inside the imageview in android
Android move view on touch event
Here, make sure the the ImageView should always be larger than the screen as you say.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/map_view"
android:layout_width="1800px"
android:layout_height="1800px"
android:background="#drawable/the_large_image"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 1"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton2"
android:layout_marginTop="200dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 2"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton3"
android:layout_marginTop="80dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="60dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 3"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
Thanks to #Sheychan that gave me some clue for getting this as I wanted.
First of all: the xml. Use 2 scroll views (one main that is vertical, and another horizontal), so that we can get horizontal and vertical scrolling. Then a RelativeLayout so that we can put the radiobuttons over the image in desired positions. Is important the "src" and "scaleType" in image so that we can get correct image dimensions. Here is the code for xml
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/svVertical">
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="#+id/hsvHorizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:isScrollContainer="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/map_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/imagen"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 1"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton2"
android:layout_marginTop="200dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 2"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radioButton3"
android:layout_marginTop="80dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="60dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Position 3"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
But with this solution we got odd scrolling (only vertical or horizontal, not both at the same time: call it "diagonal" scrolling). To resolve this: a simple override on Activity holding this layout:
ScrollView scrollY;
HorizontalScrollView scrollYChild;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
scrollY = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.svVertical);
scrollYChild = (HorizontalScrollView)findViewById(R.id.hsvHorizontal);
}
#Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
scrollYChild.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
scrollY.onTouchEvent(event);
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}
This start working better, but still in an odd way. Is like the move "jumps" while scrolling.
The solution: take away the action bar:
On the Manifest, add the "NoActionBar" theme in the application tag (or the activity tag)
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >
...
</application>
But, be careful, cause the activity must not be an "ActionBarActivity", you must change it to "Activity".
And, just in case, by Android recommendation, add a compatible old SDK versions with a "hide the status bar" on the OnCreate of the Activity.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// If the Android version is lower than Jellybean, use this call to hide
// the status bar.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
scrollY = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.svVertical);
scrollYChild = (HorizontalScrollView)findViewById(R.id.hsvHorizontal);
}
And that's all folks :) Hope it helps you as it helped me.

Button Inside Android ListView doesnt respond to clicks

I have a default ListView that i have added my custom views for the list items, but the buttons inside of these views are not clickable most of the time. I output a Log.v when the button receives a click event, but i have to tap the button almost a dozen times before it will register the click.
The other problem related tot his that i am having is that when the button is pressed i want an animation to happen revealing a menu sliding out from beneath it. At the moment i have tried several different methods like making a custom class for the views versus just using a layout inflater to get the relativeLayout object for the view, but nothing is working properly. I have even tried using listview.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChanged(); but that only has a pop-into-place for the extended view when i want an animation.
I have searched everywhere and it seems like the only possible solutions are to either rewrite my own custom listview or to use a linearlayout with a scrollview. The latter seems easier but i dont think it is nearly as optimized as the listview is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if you need to see some code, please let me know...
Thanks!
UPDATE:
the getView() contains this:
Holder hold;
convertView = friends.get(position);
hold = new Holder();
hold.pos = position;
convertView.setTag(hold);
return convertView;
basically i pass an ArrayList<RelativeLayout>, at the moment, to the Adapter so that i dont have to create a new view each time and so that the animation will stay animated when i scroll down...
inside the OnCreate() for this activity i set that ArrayList<RelativeLayout> with this next code, but this is only temporary as i plan to use another method later, like an Async task or something so that this view contains some data...
RelativeLayout temp;
for(int i=0; i<30; i++){
temp = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
final LinearLayout extraListItemInfo = (LinearLayout) temp.findViewById(R.id.extraListItemInfo);
Button infoBtn = (Button) temp.findViewById(R.id.infoBtn);
infoBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.v("ListItem", "Button has been clicked... ");
extraListItemInfo .setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
ExpandAnimation closeAnim = new ExpandAnimation(extraListItemInfo , animHeight);
closeAnim.setDuration(750);
closeAnim.setFillAfter(true);
if(extraListItemInfo .getTag() == null || !extraListItemInfo .getTag().equals("expanded")){
extraListItemInfo .getLayoutParams().height = 0;
friendInfoList.startAnimation(closeAnim.expand());
extraListItemInfo .setTag("expanded");
}else if(extraListItemInfo .getTag().equals("expanded")){
extraListItemInfo .startAnimation(closeAnim.collapse());
extraListItemInfo .setTag("closed");
}
//((BaseAdapter) listview.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged(); i tried it here once but then left it
//as the only action inside the listview's onitemclick()
}
});
listItems.add(temp);
}
this is the list item that i am using:

sorry for any layout problems that may make things difficult to read... but i hope this helps you guys to understand my problem... Thanks
UPDATE 2:
All of these answers have been helpful in some way, but i think the main issue that i must first fix is why the buttons do not receive click events until i have first scrolled away from that listItem, then back to it, then clicked the button again... If someone can help find a solution to THAT i think that everything else will be much easier to solve...
Thanks...
A screenshot as requested, but remember that this shot was taken on a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and due to me using the same layout for this larger screen, it looks much different from what it does on the phone i usually test with (Motorola droid x that isnt rooted and cant take screenshots...)
Another Update:
I managed to get the clicking and animation working nicely by Extending ArrayAdapter instead of base adapter. Sadly i am still experiencing problems as only the bottom half of the list is clickable. The top half of the list still behaves as before with the very glitchy click events... Any ideas as to what is happening this time? Thanks...
Well this isn't really an answer, but after rewriting this a few times I managed to fix it so that it functions exactly the way I wanted.
This time I left all of the data separate from each view and had each list item be a custom class inheriting RelativeLayout and also implementing its own OnClickListener for its specific infoBtn.
My adapter now simply extends ArrayAdapter<> and overrides this getView() method:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if(convertView != null && (convertView instanceof FriendListItem2))
((FriendListItem2) convertView).setFriendInfo(friends.get(position));
else
convertView = new FriendListItem2(getContext(), friends.get(position));
return convertView;
}
Finally, in the main activity for this page I simply set the ListView with an adapter that I passed the data to.
This is all much cleaner than I had before and I wish it hadn't taken several rewrites of the code to get it right. Hopefully someone can benefit from this, though I still have no clue why I was getting a problem before.
Thanks for all previous suggestions.
try using this property in the top level layout in which your child views are placed.
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
Its a bit tricky but I would suggest that if the above line does not work, try toggling between the removing of focusable=true and focusable="false" from the buttons. It should work.
Cheers!
That is a complex layout to create for every row...
Anyway, when you use the new keyword you are creating a different scope. In short your onClickListener does not see the 30 different extraListItemInfo references you expect it to see.
Try something like this:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
LinearLayout extraListItemInfo = v.getParent();
...
add android:onClick="onClick" to your button xml, it'll make it call the onClick() method
I had the same problem. Try taking the "android:clicable="true" " from the Relative Layout. When you do that the activity expects you to do make setOnClickListener to that RelativeLayout . It worked for me
you can fire click event on button from getView() method of ListViewAdapter Class.
See this question

How do I add a graphic overlay on an activity? Android

I am trying to have a picture show up in the middle of the screen guiding people what to press (eg an arrow to a button). What do I use so that the arrow design will show up at the appropriate spot and dissapear after I do something (like press the screen)
Thanks!
EDIT
Here is the xml layout for one of my activities, note the imageview at the bottom, it shows the picture in the front
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/iVImtrackingpopup" android:layout_width="300dp" android:layout_height="330dp" android:src="#drawable/imtrackinghelp_en" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"></ImageView>
When I try to "click" the relative layout to make the image invisible, it doesn't work unless I click the top of the layout
RelativeLayout Imtrackingrelativelayout=(RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayoutImtracking);
Imtrackingrelativelayout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
ImageView imtrackingoverlay=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iVImtrackingpopup);
imtrackingoverlay.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
});
make the image centre aligned and put click listener over root layout and on click make this image invisible......Better to use relative layout for this.....
Have you tried using the ShowcaseView library? It offers a more cleaner approach to what you are trying to achieve

Why does TextView.setText cause the enclosing ScrollView to scroll?

I've got this odd problem which is happening on 1.6, 2.2, and a MyTouch 3G Slide (which is API #7, and listed as "2.1-Update1" in the Android Device Chooser). If anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong & how to fix it (or possibly confirm that this is an Android bug), I'd greatly appreciate it!
The basic idea for my app is to make a stopwatch-sort of thing, in that the user can tap a button to start a timer, then tap it again to stop (pause) the timer; further taps alternate between resuming the timer and pausing the timer.
I've got a top-level ScrollView which contains a RelativelLayout, which contains a bunch of widgets. The first widget is a HUGE button (so that it's easy to press), which pushes all my other widgets below the bottom of the screen. This is intentional, as I want to rely on the ScrollView (and an on-screen reminder to the user) to make the rest of the input options available.
I've got a simple state-machine type setup, where mState is the current mode (STATE_TIMER_NOT_STARTED before the user presses any buttons, ...RUNNING after the first press, and then ...PAUSED after the second, back to ...RUNNING after the third, etc, etc).
All this works great EXCEPT that when the timer is running, and the user presses the start/stop/resume button again, the ScrollView will scroll down a ways. I am NOT issuing this command (I don't even have a reference to ScrollView object), and I'm not sure why it's doing this.
REPRO:
Compile + run the below samples. When the app starts, press the 'Start Timing' button. Use your thumb (or the mouse) to touch-drag the screen upwards (so you can see the RatingBar), then drag it back downwards (so the button is again completely on-screen). Tap the button (which now reads 'PauseTiming') again, and it'll jump down a bit. It should NOT be jumping/scrolling down, since there's no statement (that I can see) that tells it to scroll down. As near as I can tell, it's the setText that causes the scrolling ( when I comment those lines out, no scrolling occurs).
WHAT I'M ASKING FOR:
If I'm doing something dumb & you could point out what it is, I'd really appreciate it! :)
*** I wonder if 'touch mode' might have something to do with this, since it does NOT appear to happen (in the emulator) when I use the mouse's scroll wheel to move the panel upwards (i.e.,instead of the simulated finger-dragging). I can't find a whole lot on touch-mode, and nothing specific on focus/selection in touch mode within a ScrollView
If you can confirm that this error occurs for you too, that would be ok, too (since misery loves company.AHEM I mean, since it might help confirm that it's not just me :) ).

UPDATE 1: Adding
if( btnStartStopResume.isInTouchMode() )
Toast.makeText(this, "TOUCH MODE", 2000);
else
Toast.makeText(this, "NOT touch mode", 2000);
then setting breakpoints in the debugger confirms that the button is always in touch mode (regardless of whether I finger-drag the panel up/down, or mouse-wheel it up/down). So it's a combination of being in touch-mode AND finger-dragging the panel after the 2nd button-press (i.e, when the app is in 'stopped/paused timing' mode) that's causing the odd extra-timing in subsequent pauses.
UPDATE 2:
I just noticed that it's scrolling down to the EditText, and no further. It looks like when you move the panel down the EditText gets the selection, and after the click event the ScrollView scrolls back to the thing that has the selection. Seems to explain why the mouse-wheel approach doesn't have this problem (it moves the selection/focus back up to the button).
Old thread, but I thought I'd add this in case anyone's searching around like me. I had the same problem, but just clearing focus didn't help. This is what finally solved it for me:
editText.clearFocus();
editText.setTextKeepState(text);
Hope this helps someone.
TextView docs
Ok, I've got handle on what's going on, and enough of an idea of how to work around it that I thought I might as well post this here, as an answer:
If you call clearFocus on the EditText before any call to setText (which is both the button event handler, and a couple of timers I'm running via the thread's Handler in the 'real' version of this program), then everything works they way I expect (no weird auto-scrolling).
If you wanted to use this solution you'd need to clear the focus for anything that could get the focus, though, which makes it a lame solution - I'll try to keep looking at this. Under the ScrollView docs there's a method named onRequestFocusInDescendants with the cryptic note "When looking for focus in children of a scroll view, need to be a little more careful not to give focus to something that is scrolled off screen. This is more expensive than the default ViewGroup implementation, otherwise this behavior might have been made the default." which may point to what's going on here...
I tried solutions on this page and they didn't work for me. I had a scrollview that scrolled every time I clicked a refresh button in the view. What I ended up doing was making a title that is just to the left of the button focusable and set that item to be focused in my button callback.
Part of my onCreateView in my Fragment:
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_diagnostic, container, false);
view.findViewById(R.id.button_refresh_bluetooth_device).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
updateBluetoothDevice();
view.findViewById(R.id.bluetooth_device_title).requestFocus();
}
});
view.findViewById(R.id.button_refresh_network).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
updateNetworkSection();
view.findViewById(R.id.android_network_title).requestFocus();
}
});

Changing Android Spinner Layout/Design

I am trying to modify the design of Spinner widget. I can change the background, but I can't find a way to change the arrow icon on the right side. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks!
The whole thing is a single 9 patch png image. I've modified the entire look of spinners before by replacing the images. See this page: http://androiddrawableexplorer.appspot.com/
Specifically look at btn_dropdown_normal.9, btn_dropdown_pressed.9, btn_dropdown_selected.9 and btn_dropdown_disabled.9
You just need to provide your own versions of those images.
Also, you can place your "spinner bar" layout in a FrameLayout, together with the real spinner but set to invisible:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="32dip"
>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/theSpinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="invisible"
/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="32dip"
android:background="#drawable/my_background"
android:padding="6dip"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="spinnerBarReplacementClicked"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/replacementSelectImg"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/my_drawable"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/replacementSelectText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dip"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/replacementSelectImg"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>
and pass the clicks from your layout to the real spinner
private Spinner mSpinner;
mSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.theSpinner);
public void spinnerBarReplacementClicked(View pV){
mSpinner.performClick();
}
