I have for example a Play/Pause button and would like its size not to change when I change the text from 'play' to 'pause' and back. Due to internationalization I don't know if 'play' or 'pause' will be the longer string.. I imagine I need to set the string to the longest string and then create the button allowing the UI to size it prop...
Hey folks, I'm rather new to both Java programming and to Android development, so my learning curve is rather steep at the moment. I seem to be stuck on something that I can't find decent examples for how to work past it. I wrote a function that gets all my phone's contacts based on examples and docs I found here & there online. The pr...

When a marker on the map is touched, the overlay onTap method is called. In this method, an alert dialog is displayed then, after a button is pressed, the view is...
I'm working on an Android application that will come with lots of data. I'd have expected to just distribute the SQLite database, but it's clear from researching this that the database can be included, but must be copied from raw to data, which if there's a good few MB of data will take up space needlessly. For my app the data is all tex...

For example, if you had a button that was white with black text, and when clicked, the button color became black, you would want your text color...

(latter we want to use a more complicated logic about what pixels are white and what are black but it should still be black and white) int height = 100; int width = 100; quadratImage = Bitma...

Hello, I've created a custom ListView by extending SimpleCursorAdapter. The result is IMAGE + CheckedTextView (Text + Checkbox).

For example:...

I am trying to use the chooser so I don't have to create a selector-dialog. Maybe it is the wrong construct or widget to be using. What is happening is that the list of intents that I supply are inserted into a chooser dialog, but so are all the other applications on my device. Then if I use the back-button, the application "finishes....
Below is a bit of code that I managed to get to work to hide the soft keyboard on android. It works by the user clicking anywhere on the screen (outside of a EditText input/s) to hide the IME soft keyboard. It registers a OnTouchListener to the ScrollView (id="@+id/sv_background) which when the screen is touched it hides the IME soft key...
