pass value from stringbuilder to textview

I am trying to get words from several EditTexts and display them using TextView without using any layout. But the program is force closed every-time I run it.
LOGCAT: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity

TextView txt=new TextView(this);
you can't declare and initialize a class member View at the same time, because the Context is not yet valid
change it to:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private List<EditText> editTextList = new ArrayList<EditText>();
private TextView txt;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
txt = new TextView(this);
// other code
also I noticed that you are not adding this View to any of the containers that your provided to setContentView. The suggestion will fix the crash but you will not see the TextView's content

Exception shows problem is in your manifest file.
Your package name is manifest tag and your activity are in different locations.

Add ImageButton dynamically from Database not displayed

I'm here today for my soundboard app ! son to make it simple i have a G_Son object which is the controller of the "Son" model. i get the list of sound from my database (everything is fine until here) but then when I dynamically try to create ImageButtons and add them on my activity (manageLayout() ), I have absolutely nothing appearing on my activity ! not even a single button. So if you have any Idea, or want to give me a hand, I'm aware of any suggestion
private G_Son gson;
private OurNiceSoundPlayer soundPlayer;
private List<Son> sons;
RelativeLayout gameBoard;
private Son selectedSound;
private View.OnClickListener mSoundOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
soundPlayer.setSound(sons.get(Integer.parseInt(v.getTag().toString())));
Log.i("Board", "Clicked on ImgButton ->" + v.getTag());
}
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_board);
gson = G_Son.getInstance();
sons = gson.getSons(getApplicationContext());
soundPlayer = new OurNiceSoundPlayer(getApplicationContext());
gameBoard = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.soundboard);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT,1);
manageLayout();
gameBoard.invalidate();
}
private void manageLayout() {
if (sons.size()>0)
{
int rawNbr = (int) Math.ceil((double) sons.size() / 3);
int currentSon = 0;
Son displayed = sons.get(currentSon);
for (int i = 0; i < rawNbr; i++)
{
LinearLayout row = new LinearLayout(this);
row.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
{
ImageButton btnTag = new ImageButton(this);
if (displayed.getIsPerso()) {
File imgFile = new File(displayed.getPathImage());
if (imgFile.exists()) {
Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
btnTag.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
} else {
btnTag.setImageResource(R.drawable.defaultimage);
}
}
else
{
int id = getResources().getIdentifier("com.example.m.sbst:drawable/" + displayed.getPathImage(), null, null);
btnTag.setImageResource(id);
}
btnTag.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
btnTag.setOnClickListener(mSoundOnClickListener);
btnTag.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
btnTag.setTag(currentSon);
btnTag.setId(i);
row.addView(btnTag);
currentSon++;
if (currentSon>=sons.size())
{
break;
}
else
{
displayed = sons.get(currentSon);
}
}
gameBoard.addView(row);
}
}
}

Forgot to mention a size, moreover, after months of learning android, I should advice people to use a grid view to do so, it allows with custom layout to do event better than creating your own layout with dynamic image buttons

Android adding textview programmatically

I am trying to add textview in a layout programmatically the textview is added on layout but it's not visible.
I have created a method setSelectedContactTextView() which is called from onResume() the method adds textview but not make them visible on screen.
Here is my code:
protected void onResume() {
if(Constants.fbContactListArrayList!=null && Constants.fbContactListArrayList.size()!=0){
setSelectedContactTextView(Constants.fbContactListArrayList);
}
super.onResume();
}
//SET SELECTED CONTACTS IN TEXTVIEW FORMS
public void setSelectedContactTextView(final ArrayList<Object> list){
//Constants.progressDialog=ProgressDialog.show(this, "", Constants.MSG_PROGESSDIALOG);
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
while(i<list.size()){
ContactBean contactBean=(ContactBean)list.get(i);
if(contactBean.isSelected()==true){
TextView contactTextView=new TextView(NewEventShowDetails.this);
contactTextView.setText(contactBean.getUserName().toString());
fbContactTextLinearLayout.addView(contactTextView);
}
i++;
}
}
});
}

You may try refering to this code
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.info)
...
linearLayout.addView(valueTV);
also make sure that the layout params you're creating are LinearLayout.LayoutParams...
Or try this code
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear);
String[] informations = new String[] { "one", "two", "three" };
TextView informationView;
for (int i = 0; i < informations.length; i++) {
View line = new View(this);
line.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(1, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
line.setBackgroundColor(0xAA345556);
informationView = new TextView(this);
informationView.setText(informations[i]);
layout.addView(informationView, 0);
layout.addView(line, 1);
}

refresh activity with dynamic content

I have an activity with some dynamic content.
For each item of an array, there is a different content (number of textViews, checkboxes, ..)
The user clicks on a "save" button and then the screen has to refresh itself to display the content of the next item.
I was wondering if it was a good practice to reload my activity like this :
Intent refresh = new Intent(this, conflictActivity.class);
startActivity(refresh)
finish()
instead of removing all the views in my layouts, etc ...
I think it's easier to reload it.
Is there another way to do it ?
EDIT : added Code.

}
saveButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
//save data & update UI
}
}
.execute(appState.getSessionName(), id, "getObjectOnServer");
}
}
Sorry for the code, it is a litle bit dirty (i have deleted some parts), i am reworking it.

int flag = 0;
public void updateUI() {
if(flag == 0) {
//your normal codes...
} else {
//display view with user given data
}
}
Call this function in oncreate. At first flag will be set to zero. When u enter the data in textview and tick checkboxes, update the flag with some value. Then on save Button click call this function again. Now flag is set. So it will display the updated UI.
I think this will give u an idea..

Android first TableRow is not showing

I have a weird problem. I derived MessageRow from TableRow. I populated a table with one TableRow (Header) and 100 MessageRows. But when I add the table to the HorizontalScroll view only the Messagerows are showing.
If I inspect the table in the debugger, all the rows are there, including the Header, with the right children and text.
This is the simplified code:
public class MessageRow extends TableRow {
public TextView tvData1;
public TextView tvData2;
public TextView tvData3;
public MessageRow(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public MessageRow(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
tvData1 = new TextView(context);
tvData2 = new TextView(context);
tvData3 = new TextView(context);
}
public void setData(String data1, String data2, String data3) {
tvData1.setText(data1);
tvData2.setText(data2);
tvData3.setText(data3);
addView(tvData1);
addView(tvData2);
addView(tvData3);
}
}
The activity code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.viewer);
mTable = new TableLayout(this);
HorizontalScrollView hview = (HorizontalScrollView) findViewById(R.id.hscroll);
mTable.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
populate(mTable);
hview.addView(mTable);
}
public void setHeader(TableLayout tl) {
TableRow mHeader = new TableRow(getContext());
mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#1"));
mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#2"));
mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#3"));
mHeader.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tl.addView(mHeader);
}
public void populate(TableLayout tl) {
setHeader(tl);
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
MessageRow mr = new MessageRow(getContext());
mr.setMessage("xxx"+i,"yyy"+i,"zzz"+i);
mr.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tl.addView(mr);
}
}
private Button getColumnHeader(String name) {
Button bt = new Button(getContext());
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.rightMargin = params.leftMargin = 2;
bt.setLayoutParams(params);
bt.setText(name);
return bt;
}
Now, I tried bypassing the getColumnHeader() function like this:
public void setHeader(TableLayout tl) {
TableRow mHeader = new TableRow(getContext());
//mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#1"));
--> Button bt1 = new Button(getContext());
--> bt1.setText("Data#1");
--> mHeader.addView(bt1);
//mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#2"));
--> Button bt2 = getColumnHeader("Data#2");
--> mHeader.addView(bt2);
mHeader.addView(getColumnHeader("Data#3"));
mHeader.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
tl.addView(mHeader);
}
and then bt1 (Data#1) is displayed!!! but not Data#2 or Data#3. This hints that somehow the function getColumnHeader() is bad. But not acording to the debugger, when I inspect bt1 and bt2 they seem good, I cannot detect what is the difference between the manually instantiated button bt1 and the returned button bt2.
Side note: I don't know if this is the best way, but to compare the two variables I just right-clicked and Copy Variable, then pasted it to notepad++ in two different files (one for bt1 and one for bt2) and used the compare plugin.

Some more info. I managed to display the buttons, further debug showed that setting the Layout params for each button in the function getColumnHeader() caused the problem. Still I don't know why.
The button member mLayoutParams being null is OK, but when created (.setLAyoutParams()) and assigned values (for example width and height) the suddenly the button is not displayed.
This is the patch,... until I figure out why.
private Button getColumnHeader(String name) {
Button bt = new Button(getContext());
//LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//params.rightMargin = params.leftMargin = 2;
//bt.setLayoutParams(params);
bt.setText(name);
return bt;
}

Last piece of the puzzle.
I tried many variations and finally it worked!
Replacing LayoutParams with TableRow.LayoutParams did the trick.
Their structure is very similar, probably even TableRow.LayoutParams is derived from LayoutParams.
I will leave the mystery here, until some expert sheds light on why this happened.
The final code:
private Button getColumnHeader(String name) {
Button bt = new Button(getContext());
TableRow.LayoutParams params = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
params.rightMargin = params.leftMargin = 2;
bt.setLayoutParams(params);
bt.setText(name);
return bt;
}
