Could you tell me what is the circled element no.1 on this image? The one that look like a submenu, but it seams it's not a submenu.
What does the logo in the top left corner mean?
The selected area consists of
1) list view
The listview contains
1) ImageView at the left
2) textView with image background in the middle
3) imageview at the right
Thanks
Deepak
1st one element is the List View
2nd one is might be the symbol of Android HoneyComb but I am not sure about this..
The little bug in the notification bar means, this device can be used for debugging. It appears when the device is connected to a computer and the Debug option on the device is activated.
The menu you see can be everything as you can define custom layouts. So without the source, you'll never know. I don't think it is a ListView as it would be too cumbersome to implement it in that way.
Number one is a styled ListView.
Number two means that the USB Debug mode is on (and the USB cable is connected)
USB Debug mode is normally used by developers.
the image number 1 looks like list view and image number 2 is status bar(Notification bar)
may be listview, expandable list view, buttons and any kind of view
It look like a bug

Another day, another bug...
I have three AutoCompleteTextFields with the filter overrided to get completion from my REST service, but my big problem is that the suggestions popups of those text are clickthrough... so when I've already completed one of them, any click on the suggestion popup of another will trigger the underlying ACTF, which is already filled and so show it's own popup, making impossible to select the item from the other ACTF suggestion popup.
The two screenshots here show the situation, the ACTF are the textfield hinted "Partenaire", "Contact..." and the already autocompleted one under.
On the second screenshot, I've tried to select the item over the third ACTF, and so the four first results are from the third ACTF, and the four last are from the "Partenaire" ACTF.
Is there a way to override something like onShow() for the popup and it's hiding equivalent, so I could disable the other ACTF when I type in one of them ?
I think it's a good way to solve the problem, but I am open to any other idea :)
I've forget to mention it, but the problem occur on Android and on the simulator, but iOS has not such problem.
Check that your UI has scrolling set correctly, only one container in the hierarchy can be scrollable on the Y axis. By default the Form's content pane should be scrollable on Y (unless it's a border layout).
I have a list view with some complex layouts.
Some parts of the layouts are set visible/adjusted at runtime (i.e. not everything set by the xml).
It has caught my attention than in some "rare" cases there is a specific part (the same in all cases) that is rendered visually either a few seconds after looking at the list item or if I scroll down the list and then scoll back up again.
What I observe is that it seems like after a few seconds the list item is "redrawn" and the item suddenly appears.
I have added debug output to check for its visibility and according to the console log, the item is visible when the getView is called for that the first time.
So I have no idea what the issue might be.
How can I debug issues like this?
There is an option in the developer pane on your cellphone that flash every time a piece of screen change.
You can also use something like this https://github.com/JakeWharton/scalpel
If you are using an android device you can activate 'developer options' (you'll have to google how to do this for your device as it varies) like Luca said. These are really cool because you can see where changes appear on the screen and add layout borders etc which make it easier to see exactly what is happening. They can be really useful for debugging sometimes!
I had a similar problem and I tried removing most of my code and adding chunks back in to make sure they were working and eventually you should be able to locate at least the general area where the problem is.
Good luck! Sometimes these things can take a while!
I am trying to recreate an Apple app in Android. The Apple app includes a dual spinner (see image below). You can select a letter on the left hand side, and it finds the first item that starts with that letter on the right hand side (or rather, the last item of the previous letter, so the user is more likely to choose something and not just accept the first item).
Is there any way of achieving something similar in Android? I'm thinking of trying to use a dialog with a couple of ListViews, but I'm not sure if I'm barking up the wrong tree there?
For the record, I was able to achieve the result I wanted using a custom dialog containing 2 ListViews side by side (with another View acting as a divider between them).
I'm working on implementing a UI for an Android application, and I wanted to ask if there is already something in the native widgets to accomplish most of what I'm trying to do.
The application that I'm working on performs 15 different tasks that can be divided into 3 different groups. (5 tasks per group) I have 18 icon images (3 for the groups and 15 for the individual tasks) and I want to be able to panel these icons (starting with the groups) like this:
I want the next icon visible below and above (if further down than the first icon) and swipe to go to the next icon
Once an icon is clicked, the panels slide to the side, exposing the next layer (the specific 5 tasks for the selected group) with the selected group still visible on the side:
From there, the user can tell at a glance what group they are in, what the current, next and previous selectable tasks are, and that by swiping right, they can get back to the group selection.
What types of widgets would I need to look into in order to accomplish something like this? Are there already pre-built lists to do these activities?
Thanks for any guidance!
You can get close with a LinearLayout of ImageView widgets and a ScrollView (vertical) or HorizontalScrollView. However, it will not give you the desired "centered image with bits of the previous/next images" effect -- it will be wherever the user positions it.
You can get close with a Gallery. However, it will not give you the vertical orientation, and it will always give you a fixed set of full options to the sides, not the partial images that you seek.
If it's gotta be the way you describe it, you'll have to roll it yourself. Gestures and animations should give you the desired effect.
Have you taken a look at ViewFlipper? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ViewFlipper.html This will give the side by side effect but you will have to make custom views for each group to populate it with the proper icons.
I'd use a ListActivity for the first 3 top level items. This won't give you the auto centering effect that you'll probably want, but you should be able to look at the Gallery source code, which can be found here, and make some modifications to the ListActivity so that it autocenters.
For the next items, I'd add an onClick and a GestureListener so you can navigate to another activity with another list view. Since you know where you came from (add some data to your Intent) you can set the color rectangle on the left so that it appears that you have just swiped the whole view left.
If you need to customize the animation, you can call this:
overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_left_entry, R.anim.slide_left_exit);
To make the yellow icon look good as it animates to the left, I'd change the list bounds (on the first activity) to have no margins, and change the yellow icon to have square right edges - This will make the small yellow rectangle on the next activity appear to be part of the first activity.
It should be relatively easy to mock this up to see if it's going to work properly for you.
Good luck!
EDIT: Ok, so I've made a basic project that does most of what you want.
here is the link to the eclipse project file. I was going to put the source up here, but there's a bit much to display.
What you still have to do:
Tweak animation
Configure the layer lists to display the correct colors
Add information to the top level intent for the sub-activity to be able to configure itself.
Quite a few other small things.
I think I've got the main stuff done. I've also added the gesture listener I talked about, although re-reading your question, you actually didn't ask for that. Since it's cool, I left it in.
Good Luck once again!!
Have you thought of launching Activities with different view configurations? You can switch from one activity to another with a gesture and you can Animate the views. What your UI looks like to me is a bunch of screens with affordances that show the other screens. So one Activity per screen maybe the same in different configurations or something like that.
Is it possible to create a layout based on (background) images? For example, there is well know app called Appie that uses this picture as a homescreen:
I might be able to recreate the layout with a TableLayout, but this will be difficult to get it perfectly aligned with the buttons in the image. The default layout options make it very difficult, or maybe impossible, to allow for selection of the buttons on the image (especially when the buttons are in an arc-path).
Can anyone tell me how this is done?
I had some issues positioning a badge on the corner of a view. You can check my solved question:
Positioning a badge bubble on the left upper side of a button
About how it can be done. I would do it with a RelativeLayout and TableLayout as you mentioned, but to be completely sure, you can use apktool to see how the xml are done but it might be ilegal to do it.
