Okay, So I found out that using FormatDate (SimpleDateFormat) is not preferred for loops with a lot of information (that is why my app was taking so long to load)

I have found alternatives.

For absolute date and time, try this (not sure if this is the best way but it works and is fast):


This is will ouput the date like so: Saturday, March 28, 2009
and the time: 11:30 AM

IMPORTANT - I have modified the IconifiedTextListAdapter.java, IconifiedText.java, and IconifiedTextView.java to accept the extra "myDate" and "myTime" views. This must be done first, if you wish to implement my date and time fix (HINT - just 'duplicate' the existing TextViews).

If anyone needs help on making this work, feel free to ask me how to do it. I promise to answer, whether or not I know how to help.

I have a solution for relative dates and times, however it requires a ViewBinder and SimpleCursorAdapter to be used, and I have yet to figure out how to incorporate with the IconifiedTextListAdapter.

Hope this helps someone.

Hello again,

I'm trying to make an onListItemClick that would call the Calls.NUMBER of the selected list row. Here's what I have (after onCreate):



Any help, hints, or links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How can I set and onListItemClick to load an intent, bundling the callerName variable?

Here's what I've tried:

1.

- Force close,

2.

- again, force close.

3.

- you guessed it.

4.

- Nope.

Now I am still new to Java/Android and do not fully understand how to debug using my LogCat output.

When I try to bundle the variable, without getting the item postition, it works, but only display the name from the first database result (oldest call):



So my issue definitely lies in my attempt to getItem(position) of the IconifiedTextListAdapter.

I've tried many things beyond whats posted above like closing the first cursor, trying to addExtra to the intent without a bundle. Nothing works.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyone that can help me figure out how to correctly bundle cursor items from the IconifiedTextListAdapter?

I'd like to know how to pass the "cached name" of the selected list item to a sub-activity using an onListItemClick.

I have no problem bundling static string between activities. It is only when I try to pass the position of the list adapter that I run into issues.

The second activity could literally just display the bundled string(s) in a simple, un-styled text view.

Please, I have been stuck on this for days. Any help or links greatly appreciated.

Please..

I figured it out. This topic title should be changed to the "iPaul Pro Trial and Error Thread"

To pass the position of the cursor items from the IconifiedTextListAdapter to a sub-activity (Pass the chosen Name):

In CallLogDisplayer.java:

before OnCreate

(then remove the Cursor declaration at the query)

after OnCreate


and in your SubActivity.java:


That's it! I was so close - but that's how these things go.

Feel free to ask for clarification.

I tried other methods like moveTofirst.but it is not showing the output in the emulator.can anyone please address this error!!!
thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

Hi Plusminus,
great tutorial,
I had one question
I want to only checked for the missed calls that has NOT yet been checked by the user (new missed calls). The way you have the code right now it will always count ALL the missed calls that are present in the call log. What I mean is if there is a missed call and I see a missed call icon on my status bar. Once I look at the call log , the status bar icon is cleared. But when we use the code provided by you it will still notify the already "viewed missed call" as missed call.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi!


I tried to implement the CallLog feature as a service, also using the cursors and this time using a listener.
Now - the values 'phonenumber' and 'name' are not displayable for some reason.
Also - as I start writing this stuff in a database - the app crashes.
Can you make any sense of it?



Here goes my Listener class:

Code: Select all

   private class MyPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {
      
       Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
       int i = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
      
      String date = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE) + "." + i + "." + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
      String time = calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR) + ":" + calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + ":" + calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);

        String name;
        String phonenumber;
        String duration;
        String callclassification;
        
        public void onCallStateChanged(int state,String incomingNumber){
   
              Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
                        android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,
                        null,
                        null,
                        null,
                        android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE+ " DESC");
          
           // Collect new Phone Logs //
           name = android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME;
           phonenumber = android.provider.CallLog.Calls.NUMBER;
           duration = android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DURATION;
          
           Log.d(TAG, "STATE HAS CHANGED!");

          
           switch(state){
              case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
                 Log.d(TAG, "---booooooo-----");
                 break;
              case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
                 callclassification = "Outgoing Call";
                 Log.d(TAG, "Calling somebody");
                 Log.d(TAG, date);
                 Log.d(TAG, time);
                 Log.d(TAG, callclassification);
                 Log.d(TAG, name);
                 Log.d(TAG, phonenumber);

                 break;
          case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                Log.d(TAG, "RINGING");
                 Log.d(TAG, date);
                 Log.d(TAG, time);
                 callclassification = "Incoming Call";
                 Log.d(TAG, callclassification);
                 Log.d(TAG, name);
                 Log.d(TAG, phonenumber);
                break;
           }
          
          
           // Write new Phone Logs in Database //
          
           db.open();
           db.insertCallLogs(date, time, name, phonenumber, duration, callclassification);
          
          
        }

   }

how to get a list item position by clicking the button inside it?

Hi guys, actually I've read some previous questions about this...

this is the code that I use

Code: Select all

auto = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.auto);
String[] projection = new String[] {Browser.BookmarkColumns._ID,Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE,Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL};

    String[] displayFields = new String[] {Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE, Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL};

    int[] displayViews = new int[] { R.id.text1,R.id.text2 };

    Cursor cur = managedQuery(android.provider.Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI,projection, null, null, null);

    //auto.setAdapter(new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.mylist, cur,displayFields, displayViews));

    myAdapter apt = new myAdapter(this, R.layout.mylist, cur,displayFields, displayViews);
    auto.setAdapter(apt);

and class myAdapter

Code: Select all

class myAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter{

    private Cursor c;
    private Context context;


    public myAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[] from,
            int[] to) {
        super(context, layout, c, from, to);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        this.c = c;
        this.context = context;
        AutoList att = new AutoList();
        mListView = att.auto;

    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int pos, View inView, ViewGroup parent) {
           View vix = inView;

           if (vix == null) {
                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                vix = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylist, null);
           }
           this.c.moveToPosition(pos);     

           String title = this.c.getString(this.c.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE));

           String cont = this.c.getString(this.c.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL));

               TextView text1 = (TextView) vix.findViewById(R.id.text1);
               text1.setText(title);
               TextView text2 = (TextView) vix.findViewById(R.id.text2);
               text2.setText(cont);
               Button butt = (Button) vix.findViewById(R.id.button);
               butt.setOnClickListener(mButt);
               return vix;
    }

    private OnClickListener mButt = new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
        final int position = mListView.getPositionForView((View) v.getParent());
            Log.v("BUTT", "Title clicked, row "+position);
        }
    };

However, when I click the button, I still get a lot of errors like this:

Code: Select all

That's it! I hope it won't be so difficult to be figured out!

Thanks!

Sorry If missed this in the thread, but how do you exactly add calls to your call log?
When my app starts its call log is empty.
Of course I am talking about the emulator and not my actual phone.

hi there
can some one plz help me understand how i can use the onListItemClick().
every time i try i am getting the record id or index instead of the number or name...

i am trying to use this code:

Code: Select all

@Override
   protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
      super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
      // Get the item that was clicked
      Object o = this.getListAdapter().getItem(position);
      String keyword = o.toString();
      Toast.makeText(this, "You selected: " + keyword, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
