I have an Android Activity that uses a class that I developed that extends a View (let's call it FooView). I'd like to launch a dialog box when a particular event happens in FooView. It seems from all I've read that the dialog box must be launched from the Activity class using showDialog(). I can't seem to find any example showing how...

I want to do an animation with several image-files, and for this the AnimationDrawable works very well. However, I need to know when the animation starts and when it ends (i.e add a listener like the Animation.AnimationListener).

But for some reason, onKeyUp and onKeyDown are not getting c...

I'd like my custom View to be aligned on the top of the screen and the TextView to be aligned at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, no matter wha...
