Did you manage to visually select a row when the list is displayed initially? I.e. this "bug":
http://groups.google.com/group/android- ... 746d71de6a

I want to force a visual selection, but with setSelection() I only manage to select a row in the background, without the user being aware of the selection... until it starts to navigate in the list.

Hi Robert,

Yes I did that using the way suggested by plusmunis

here you the code I used:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
                new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){ 
            @Override 
            public void run() { 
                View vv = (View) this.getListView().getSelectedView();
                TextView tv = (TextView) vv.findViewById(R.id.row_entry);
                tv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); selectedTV = tv;
            } 
       }, 1000);
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Note: I added this code at the end of onCreate method after calling this.setListAdapter()

Regards,
code

I tried adapting your code to my situation (using the IconifiedTextView class from the File Browser tutorial). You are using row_entry from XML, while I construct the row with Java code. I tried making "mText" public in IconifiedTextView.java, and came up with this code:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable(){
 
            @Override
 
            public void run() {
 
          IconifiedTextView vv = (IconifiedTextView) getListView().getSelectedView();
 
          TextView tv = (TextView) vv.mText;
 
          tv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
 
            }
 
       }, 1000);
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Also tried setting the visibility for the IconifiedTextView object:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
         IconifiedTextView vv = (IconifiedTextView) getListView().getSelectedView();
 
         vv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
 
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But, still no visual selection of the selected row. Starting the ListActivity with the keyboard produces the desired effect, though, even without any of the above extra code. It might be a bug, and I have other things to focus on in my application, so I'll leave it like that for now.

Thanks anyway,
Robert

Couldn't let this issue yet

After further reading and trial&error, I learned that the real problem for visually selecting a row, has to do with touchmode vs keymode. If you are in touch mode, Android considers there is no need to highlight the row. You can change this default behavior with:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
getListView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
 
Parsed in 0.034 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

After this, using setSelection() will also visually select the row you indicate. More info here:

Hope this post will be read by the developers who are still struggling with this problem.

Robert

Hello guys,

At first I want to say thank you for that great tutorials. Now I'd like to ask something. I tried to implement the visible/invisible thing but didn't get it the right way. (just getting the number when I press long enough the "down" key) So could you please give me the right solution how it should be coded the right way in order to get more information visible while having an item selected.

Regards!

Hello,

I have a little problem with my address book application.
I want to display the e-mail address of a contact picked up in a list but I don't succeed.
I used PREFERRED_EMAIL_ID but it doesn't work.

If somebody has the solution, please post it.

Hello

I'm facing the same problem

Appearently the cause of this problem is that, although you define e-mail address for a given contact, it doesn't appear in the People table under the preferred_email column. The e-mail addresses are stored in the ContactMethods table and they are defined by a unique id. Such an id from the contact methods should appear in the preferred_email column of the People table of the Contacts database, but it doesn't appear and I have no idea how to flag an e-mail address as preferred, or how to tell the People table which e-mail id is preferred for which contact. At least from the Contact manager application of the emulator I couldn't, but you could add things to the database manually, either from tho sqlite3 or by making a small application which does this.
I think this is similar to the thing that you can't add contact photos, only from the sqlite3 database.

If anyone knows some solution to these problems please write:)

Hi !

Have you tried importing the corresponding packages and classes.
Try Ctrl+Shift+O. It will automatically resolve your import issues, it imports the neccessary classes and removes the unused imports.
Good luck, hope it was only this, and nothing more complicated.

Regards,
square

saahil · by **saahil** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 6:34 am

hey,
ctrl+shift+o didn't change nething. says, 0 imports added. plz help me. btw, i use SDK 0.9 beta, and i guess most of the people here use the m3 or m5 versions. is the problem because of the different versions of the SDK, that the earlier imports or functions are depricated or something? if yes, then plz tell me as to wat would be the solution to this.

square · by **square** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 7:18 am

Yepp, I'm also using M5, so I don't think I can help you. Sorry.

Good luck.
