I was trying to create a row layout where each of my list item will have a template to follow. Currently I have this, which allows me to display a single line text in each list.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:padding="100dp" >
</TextView>
However, when I try to change it to allow me to add more items such as image buttons and more text field, it always doesn't allow me to compile.
I tried taking a piece of xml from a tutorial on developer.android's website,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:id="#+id/text1"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/text2"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
But it throws me an error stating - The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not
allowed.
- error: Error parsing XML: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Can someone help me with this? I am not too sure what this error means.
UPDATE:
what i am trying to do is to have a fragment like a side bar on the right which shows a list of items, with the first xml that i posted, i'm able to get the results i want, but i couldn't make any changes to it.
package com.project.test;
import android.app.ListFragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class TestListFragment extends ListFragment {
String [] Items = {"Item A", "Item B", "Item C"};
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
R.layout.listtemplate, Items));
}
#Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
Log.i("FragmentList", "Item clicked: " + id);
}
}
You would not believe the solution to this... I had the same issue and the answer was "remove all the white spaces before start the xml first line"
Might be because you are missing the starting tag of the LinearLayout?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView android:id="#+id/text1"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/text2"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>

I am trying to show a simple listView with an image, a large text and a small text in each list item. I have coded the following but when I run the app, it gives a NullPointerException. For the method i have used, I do not need to findviewbyid so I'm not sure what I am doing to give this error. Anyone know?
This is my MenuPage.java file

String[]values=new String[]{"Coffee","Steak","Ice Cream"};
String[]prices=new String[]{"$4.99","$21.99","$12.99"};
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.activity_main,R.id.values, values));
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.activity_main,R.id.prices, prices));
}
}
this is my menu.xml for the java file above:

<item
android:duration="30"
android:drawable="#drawable/icecream"/>
and my logcat gives this error
any help would be appreciated! thank you
I think the problem in the menu layout file
android:text="#+id/values"
try to write some text or specify link to string resource like
android:text="#string/my_button_text"
And when you call setListAdpate two times you ovirwrite first adapter with new. Have a look to example here
ListActivity
I need to have a TextView that, when the user type in it a word, a dropdown list box is be shown exactly with the same phrases that Google Search will suggest if those words are typed in the search textbox of google.com site.
Is it possible to have this service. How?
I searched on the web with no luck.
Thank you all.
For the dropdown you can use:
Autocomplete Android
For show result you must call your own web service or cached data. If you need google results i don't know if google expose a public API to obtain it...
Hi Geltrude here i added the sample source code for you. Please try and let me know. Hope it should helpful for you. Thanks.
First create autocomplete_textview.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/autoCompleteText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="133dp"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Search Name"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingTop="7dp"
android:singleLine="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
list_item.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Single List Item Design -->
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/label"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dip"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold" >
</TextView>
AutocompleteSample.java
import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;
public class AutocompleteSample extends Activity {
private static AutoCompleteTextView autoCompleteText;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.autocomplete_textview);
autoCompleteText = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteText);
List<String> nameList = new ArrayList<String>();

I'm trying to develop one new project. My client wants me to design like current GooglePlay design (block design per attach). That's why I'm confused whether <android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout> will be useful or not for implement such block design featured. If not, please let me know how to do it?
You might want to take a look at http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/grid-lists.html. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but I hope this helps. It uses GridView instead of GridLayout. A good post about that can be found GridView VS GridLayout in Android Apps
Edit: Here is my example
Note: Most of this is taken from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/gridview.html. The ImageAdapter used in GridViewExample is taken directly from there as are the pictures used.
Here is my layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="Page Title" />
<!-- Insert some sort of scrolling if desired -->

GridView gridView1 = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView1);
gridView1.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));
gridView1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
Toast.makeText(GridViewExample.this, "1: " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
GridView gridView2 = (GridView)findViewById(R.id.gridView2);
gridView2.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));
gridView2.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id){
Toast.makeText(GridViewExample.this, "2: " + position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

It looks like the layout is a little off on a tablet, but with some work I am sure that can be fixed
When I make the spinner with very long text, the spinner button (not drop down menu), which usually shows the selected text and the triangle image(▼), doesn't show the triangle image.
I tested with normal (android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item) layout and multiline layout.
But neither did.
The right side of spinner button is the outside of the window.
(Sorry, I can't attach the image because I'm a new user.)
The sources are following;
SpinnerTestActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
public class SpinnerTestActivity extends Activity {
String[] mStrings = {"verrrrrrrrrry looooooooooooooong",
"abc loooooooooooooooooooooooooong",
"xyz"
};
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
// ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, mStrings);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.multiline_spinner_item, mStrings);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}

Thank you for your observations on my question.
I found the answer.
add
spinner.getLayoutParams().width = spinner.getWidth();
after
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
Have you defined the android:prompt attribute in your Android Spinner controller?
It will help you. Please see the following code:
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:prompt="#string/planet_prompt"
/>
You can refer to the following link: Can an Android AsyncTask doInBackground be synchronized to serialize the task execution?
I'm trying to change my checkbox dynamically.
for some reason the app throw my an exception.
what am I doing wrong?
this is my java code:
package com.school.commtest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.TableLayout;
import android.widget.TableRow;
public class OtherPlacesMenu extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
CheckBox c1 = (CheckBox)this.findViewById(R.id.schools);
c1.setChecked(true);
setContentView(R.layout.otherplacesmenu);
}
}
and this is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/table">
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/tableRow1">
<CheckBox android:text="School" android:id="#+id/schools" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></CheckBox>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/tableRow2">
<CheckBox android:text="Supermaker" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/supermarkets" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></CheckBox>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/tableRow3">
<CheckBox android:text="Gardens" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/gardens" android:layout_width="wrap_content"></CheckBox>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
I'm sure its a simple question, but I cannot find the answer anywhere.
p.s.
I can't set the value of the checkbox to be true at the xml because I would later want to change the checkbox from the user setting.

Usually you should post the exception message when asking a question like this, but it looks like your problem is that you're trying to findViewById before you setContentView. Your view doesn't exist to be found when you look for it.
