Hey surya,

The "Hi" looks like a TextView...

So, please post your "main.xml" of your are usind an xml-layout or your onCreate()-Code otherwise.

Merry Christmas,

I have a similiar question.

I want to access the drawables in a dynamic way, the static call of R.drawable.some_drawable works of course, but i have about 50 states and 7 icons for every state. So i just want to access the corresponding icon file, i.e. icon0_1.png for state 0 and button 1 with:

Unfortunately it doesn't work, if i just use it works as mentioned above. How can i get the dynamic version working?

Thx in advance

Hello snowtiger,

it doesn't work as you cannot access the images in the way you are trying.

The images you've put under "/res/drawable/xyz.png" get compiled into your *.apk (Activity-File)

Solution: You can determine the Resource IDs this way (using getResources().getIdentifier(String, String, String); ):
I have a file bug.png in the "/res/drawable/":


Let us know if it helped you

wooohaaaaa, how cool, it works of course:

I found out, that Drawable icon = Drawable.createFromPath("data/misc/icon" + currentStatus + "_" + buttonId + ".png"); works only, if the file is pushed somewhere on the emulator, like in app/misc/...

But thanks so much, this site is a thousand times better than google's documentation

I know this is late (hope I'm not necroposting). You have to remove the extension. That's what happened to me when i tried to add a background.

On another note, I'd like to add how to make a transparent/translucent background.

Add the transparency to the background image in a graphics editor and save as a PNG. Then in your manifest, add the android:theme line like so:

<activity android:name="yourActivityName"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />

And then in the activity's XML, add the android:background like on the first page of this thread.

Hi

Can you help with with this error? I'm new to Eclipse and currently doing Major Project for school.

"Unparsed aapt error(s)! Check the console for output."

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<TextView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello"
    />
</LinearLayout>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:padding="5dip"
   android:background="@drawable/ferry">
   </RelativeLayout>

I tried to apply a background image for my application but I can't get through the error mentioned above. I've been having that same error.

Thank you
Dayne

Also I need to set background of app. But how to know what dimensions to be picture? Maby my app will be running on phone with resolution 240x320, maby on 320x480.

plusminus or anyone,

You seem to be very knowledgeable. I have a simple question for you or whoever can answer it. I think it relates indirectly to this post at least to how it applies to my exact problem. Anyhow, my question is this:

In regards to main.xml, if you post a layout in that file it now is static, correct? In other words you cannot add stuff to it dynamically through Java Code, correct?

I ask this question because I would like a static layout and background, however I need to add images to this layout dynamically so maybe I need to rethink what this all means.

Thanks for your time and help in advance.

Dan
