I am planning to create a world clock widget in android. The clock should show the selected country's time as an analog clock widget. But I'm feeling difficulties as I'm a beginner in android.
My widget.xml file contains the following:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/Widget"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="8dip"
android:background="#drawable/myshape" >
<AnalogClock android:id="#+id/AnalogClock"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:dial="#drawable/widgetdial"
android:hand_hour="#drawable/widgethour"
android:hand_minute="#drawable/widgetminute"/>
I am using the following configuration activity for my widget:-
(To display the city list)
package nEx.Software.Tutorials.Widgets.AnalogClock;

}
}
}
}
return list;
}
}
Can I use my own custom view in the widget, apart from analog clock? Or is there any other way to show the clock? like use the Imageview as the clock face and to draw the dial according to the time?
Please help me regarding this.!!!:(
A similar example for thermometer is given in this link
http://mindtherobot.com/blog/272/android-custom-ui-making-a-vintage-thermometer/
You can create your own view and make the clock as well.
You can replaced the clock dial, clock hand minute and clock hand hour with your own drawings. Then You'll have your own custom clock.
android:dial="#drawable/YOUR_OWN_DIAL"
android:hand_hour="#drawable/YOUR_OWN_HOUR"
android:hand_minute="#drawable/YOUR_OWN_MINUTE"
Test the layout in the Graphical Layout Tool to see how it look like.

I am new to Tensorflow and Android, I am trying to classify data from external accelerometer to predict weather it align to left, right, forward , back or center. So I trained model using colab and converted it to tflite and added it to Android App, I could not make any sense of output

}
You can use outputFeature0.getDataType().toString() to check the type of the data.
It would return a string among "FLOAT32","INT32","UINT8","INT64","STRING","INT8".
If the type of the data is FLOAT32, you can get the data like below:
float[] data=outputFeature0.getFloatArray()
The below code is certainly not the best way of doing what I need to do but unfortunately I don't have much time to go back and change data structures / storage options etc. It will be cleaned up however. Anyway, the quality of the code isn't my problem, I digress.
When the user registers their account for the first time, they are given a ListView with multiple choice (check boxes). The selected items are stored in a SparseBooleanArray then converted to an ArrayList of Strings.
The names of the ListView items are coming from an SQLite database method called getStoreNames() which returns an ArrayList of Strings of the Store names.
I need to then get the Store objects associated with each store name. This is done in the for loop within the continue_button case. (Store store = db.returnStoreByName(storeName)... then adding each of those stores to an ArrayList of Stores.
I am then trying to store this ArrayList of stores in SharedPreferences. Because SPs doesn't support ArrayLists, the data is serialized. In the next Activity when I try to access the Store objects, I deserialize the shared preference object. However when I checked the size of the deserialized ArrayList, it is 0. I checked the arraylist size before I serialized it and put it into shared preferences and it was giving the correct size.
This leads me to believe that somewhere between serializing/deserializing or storing in/retrieving from shared prefs is where something is going wrong and the arraylist is being emptied.
Here is the first activity where the data is saved to shared prefs.

From this Logcat it's clear that your array size is 0 and you are trying to access index 0. Make sure you check array length before accessing its content.
May be you are getting crash for this line
Log.d("LoSeSANO", "Store name at index 0: " + store_list.get(0).getName());
check store_list size before accessing it's index.
I saw u only store a simple List then you didnt easy way to share data.
Okey with small data like this : SparseBooleanArray a = list_view.getCheckedItemPositions();
I will create class
Class A implement Serializable{
List<String> data;
}
then send Serializable via Intent.
I have made a random Image Gallery view with the Android Touch Gallery but I want to Show random Images. I have tried to generate an link with an random number.
I can not Play it and I have no idea how i can solve this.
Please Help.

There is a fail in Collections.addAll. What can I use instead of this?
When you have an idea what i can do or what is a good second Option, please write it.

The problem is in these lines:
Random rn = new Random();
...
int i = rn.nextInt() % n;
...
tempURL = new URL("http://miniz.co/RageToonApp/Images/" + rn + ".jpg");
You are calculating i but instead of using it in the URL, you're using rn instead. By default, this calls Random.toString() which contains characters (in this case, a #) that are illegal in URLs.
To fix this you should change the last line to:
tempURL = new URL("http://miniz.co/RageToonApp/Images/" + i + ".jpg");

Basically, this grabs some values from a transit website. This section of code so far just gets the direction of the route based off the route selected.
(Your directionSpinner() method is different in the two snippets you've posted, and I'm working using the one added later, but this solution should work for both snippets, assuming the problem is the same)
Your problem is that you're not following the Activity lifecycle properly.
When you call:
RoutesActivity tc = new RoutesActivity();
tc.directionSpinner(directions);
You are actually creating a brand new instance of RoutesActivity. And since you're calling it as a standard Java class, it never follows the Activity lifecycle, which means that onCreate() is never called, which in turn means that your two spinner objects remain null (as you assign values to them in onCreate()).
Due to this, when you use:
dirSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
dirSpinner is actually null resulting in a NullPointerException.
Instead, try using:
RoutesActivity.this.directionSpinner(directions);
Instead of:
RoutesActivity tc = new RoutesActivity();
tc.directionSpinner(directions);
I am developing an application on Android 2.2 . Mainly what it does , is that it grab data from the internet and then it shows it on the device's screen. I have finished an Activity , but , it is too slow , it takes too much to get the web content . I would like to make it run faster . I guess that Async Task would be the most appropriate method that I should use . I've tried to change the code , to insert the Async Task but I cant figure out how to do it right .
This is my code :

The Activity takes too much time to load .(About 10 seconds) . So please , can you help me figure out where and how to insert the Async Task ? Or maybe you can suggest me something else to make the application run faster ? Something like a handler for example ? I don't really know much since I am new to Android programming . Any advice would be much appreciated . Thanks.
1) You need improve your code style
2) For such purposes you must use AsynchTask or Handler+Separate Thread
