My first post here. This website has been very useful for learning Android programming, thanks to everyone. I have a simple app that loads an MP3 stream and plays it. It works fine on 1.6 and 2.1 but on 2.2 it doesn't quite work right. It seems my service is having a problem starting, it's giving my an ANR and the dialog where I have to...

How can I achieve this? Here is the XML of my toolbar. It places a checkbox on the left side and some text in the center. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="...

The groups are the item titles, and the children are a webview that contains the description. I also pass a parameter to it in the hope that I can automatically expand on of the groups to display the RSS descri...
I'm hoping this is more of an issue with code than anything else and I'm hoping that someone out there can help track down the issue. I have other code that starts the service with startService() and I can verify that the service is started as the debugger hits the onCreate() function of DecoderService. However, the bindService never b...
I have two XML files located in res/xml/. One file is a normal XML file located in that directory called myfile.xml and I can access it normally as R.xml.myfile. Eclipse allows you to link files in from other locations. I have another XML file that is linked in from another drive. No matter what I do, i can not access this file by R.xml...

There are two layout folders in the project the second one (for landscape) was created using the layout-view in Eclipse and using the 'create' button for the layout after I designed it.

I've read the following: When launched via icon on the home screen, Android will always start the activity with the android.intent.action....
I've seen this question asked before but it seems that the answer may be outdated. I'm pulling a numeric value off of a spinner and storing it in a sqlite database as a string. I have an imageview placed into the row xml file. I'm sure creating some sort of adapter is involved. How do i change the imageview source based on the value o...
Hello everyone, I spent so much time looking into Android animation tween that I wanted to share this knowledge (and maybe others can provide feedback and improvements).

I am retro-fitting a Maven project around a set of Android projects (written using Eclipse). Some of the Android projects are libraries of common code and resources. Since the Android library projects have resources, they have their own R, which I reference from within the common library code. Following the instructions in the Maven: Com...
I am following sample code for sending an update notification every 10'seconds. The code follows and it is in an "UpdateService" for an AppWidgetProvider. If I put a Thread.sleep(10*1000); I can see the expected behavior of my servicing loop. I obviously have something fundamentally wrong that is triggering immediately. It is suppose...
Im trying to get an object form my SQLite database in my Android application. I know that the contact is in the database because when I add it and try finding by ID, it returns the object. When I try finding by first and last name, though, it throws an exception and Im left with a null reference. Here is the query: cursor = mDb.query(D...
Specifically, I'm curious about how they did the phone number entry part, where they can add additional phone numbers fields when the user clicks the little add button. I initially thought that was done with a ListView, and I got a ListView to work, but the ListView scrolls independently of the rest of the screen, which looks bad. So I...
