I know how to adda scrollbar through the xml properties such that there is a bar in the right side of the edittext field once we write stuff in it by making setSingleline(false).
My question is :-
is there a way to do the same through the activity , that is, dynamically?
for eg:-
Code is :-
public class abc extends Activity
{
EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText1);
edit.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
edit.isVerticalScrollBarEnabled();
}
These two does not work. When i add these , i still am not able to see the scrollbar on the rightside of the Edittext when i scroll..
Through XML, when we add :- android:scrollbars="vertical" , then we are able to see the scrollbar..
I am asking for a WORKING way to do it through the activity dynamically or in other words programatically
Please its urgent. I would sincerely be thankful.
In XML
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
Dynamically/programatically:
edit.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

I am trying to create a like and dislike button. I use Checkboxes to do so.
In the XML code I have two checkboxes one called like and the other dislike
I'm trying to toggle between the like and dislike buttons. Such that they both cannot be switched on at the same time.
public void onLike(View view) {
if (dislike.isChecked()) {
dislike.setChecked(false);
}
Toast.makeText(this,"liked",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
The issue that I am having is that set setChecked(true) is not doing anything.
For more context, the XML for the checkbox is defined inside a fragment that has a cardview. Each item in the card view has the checkboxes.
the way I initialized the checkbox in the main activity is as follows: -
View cardViewLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.text_row_item,null);
like = (CheckBox) cardViewLayout.findViewById(R.id.like);
dislike = (CheckBox) cardViewLayout.findViewById(R.id.dislike);
any ideas what's going on?
ok, I've figured out the solution. Since I am using a recycler view with a custom adapter I need to bind the onClick listener via an interface.
Here is a link to another post that will show the necessary steps to implement click listeners in adapters: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49969478/11379938
Problem Description and Question
I'm using tab activity with action bar. In the HOME tab I have GridView which contains some items, like it is shown in the image below (Hot Lines, Taxi, Restaurants etc)
Wen user click on the items in the grid view I want my application to take following actions:
Change icon of application to grid view item image on which I pressed.
Change the test near the icon
Add standard back button near icon, which will go back to grid view screen.
Change the tab fragment to the one which I specify.
Like it is shown in the image below:
As I never deal with this kind of problems can you please give me example or share some link with me of how I can do this? and can I do this at all?
This might help:
Android studio - is possible to add tabs pointing to fragments from designer?
It is not exactly what you want, but a good start. If you are willing to put a bit of work in it, you should be able to get what you want. If you have a basic Frame to work with and more specific problems with this matter I will gladly help you out ^^

The first link you can check is THIS.
And you should read more about ActionBar.
The last thing is it's better if you google it first and try to write a code and when you got stuck somewhere share your code with us and ask for help.
You have to use actionbarsherlock library for it.
use android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost and TabWidget in the xml as shown below :
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
style="#style/yourstyle"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/realtabcontent"
style="#style/realtabFrameContentStyle" />
<TabWidget
android:id="#android:id/tabs"
style="#style/yourtabstyle" />
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
Use SherlockFragmentActivity for showing the tabs.
In the activities code use following code (preferably in a function) to set the ctionbar icon and text :
activity.getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
activity.getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.your_action_barlayout);
((TextView) (activity.getSupportActionBar().getCustomView().findViewById(R.id.action_bar_title))).setText("your title");
ImageView homeButton = ((ImageView) (activity.getSupportActionBar().getCustomView().findViewById(R.id.your_icon)));
homeButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
homeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, YourHOmeActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
activity.startActivity(intent);
activity.finish();
}
});
ActionBar mActionBar = activity.getSupportActionBar();
mActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD);
mActionBar.show();
then call this function with your icon and your text in your fragments onResume() method.
I have a TextView with links and other text. I need to links to be clickable & I need to capture the click and open the link in a webview in my activity. I followed this this answer. My code looks like this:
actitivity_main.xml
<TextView android:id="#+id/textlinktest"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dp"/>
And this is the way I invoke it:
textLinkTest.setText(Html.fromHtml("Something else google"));
textLinkTest.setText(RichTextUtils.replaceAll(
(Spanned) textLinkTest.getText(),
URLSpan.class,
new URLSpanConverter()));
The links show up fine, but they are not clickable! The onclick in my customeclickablespan never gets called. I tried toggling android:linksClickable & also tried different values for android:autoLink. But the links remain unclickable. Any thoughts?
Add
textLinkTest.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
before
textLinkTest.setText(RichTextUtils.replaceAll((Spanned) textLinkTest.getText(), URLSpan.class, new URLSpanConverter()));
I have an edittext and I would like to paste some text in it. I can copy the text from some web page but I am not able to paste the text in my edittext control.How can I enable my edittext to paste some text.Here is my main.xml for edittext ;
enter code here
<EditText
android:id="#+id/enter"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight= "2"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:textColor="#color/black"
/>
Thanks
This is on Android 4.4.2 Samsung S4;
Documentation for TextView says that:
To allow users to copy some or all of the TextView's value and paste
it somewhere else, set the XML attribute android:textIsSelectable to
"true" or call setTextIsSelectable(true). The textIsSelectable flag
allows users to make selection gestures in the TextView, which in turn
triggers the system's built-in copy/paste controls.
There is also another Textview attribure called android:cursorVisible which determines if the system should be invoked about the copy/paste callbacks.
By default I believe both of these are true and selection/copy/paste mechanics are already enabled. I could not change that behaviour by using android:textIsSelectable="false" but if I set android:cursorVisible="false" initially you can't paste anything inside the EditText. Only after you type something in, cursor and selection behaviour becomes enabled again. Maybe this should be handled inside the code rather than in the layout xmls, or it might be related to android:inputType which also did not make a difference for me.
So try setting android:cursorVisible="true" in your EditText's layout xml if paste is not enabled by default.
According to your problem if you copied some data any where in your system and you want to paste it in some specific variable, like Edit TextBox, Textview etc, then this code will surely help you.
ClipboardManager clipMan = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(v.getContext().CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
myEdtTxt.setText(clipMan.getText());
Note:- here the clipMan object will store the data whenever copied process take place and we will return that data from that object and will set it,
To enable the standard copy/paste for TextView, U can choose one of the following:
Change in layout file:
Either add below property to your TextView
android:textIsSelectable="true"
and In your Java class write this line to set it programmatically.
myTextView.setTextIsSelectable(true);
if fragment try with
mContext.myTextView.setTextIsSelectable(true);
And long press on the TextView you can see copy/paste action bar.
Try setting the inputType="text" for the EditText field
I have two xml files in my application - main.xml and options.xml.
In both of them I use buttons. The problem is, that while interacting with the buttons in main.xml, I cannot do that with options.xml: if I write
Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.b1);
, b is going to be null. What is the cause of this problem and how do I fix it?
Thank you in advance.
You need to either inflate the options.xml or set it as content view:
setContentView(R.layout.options);
before you can use the views in that layout file.
It sounds like you want to be able to access both layouts so you should do something like this:
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.options, null);
Button b = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.b1);
