[align=center]The Christmas-Calendar - A TableLayout with SubActivity[/align]

What you learn: You will learn how to create a Christmas Calendar using a TableLayout and how to start SubActivities (+ passing extra Data to them).

:?: Problems/Questions: Write them right below...

Difficulty: 24 of 31 :lol:

Description:
The whole setup of this application is pretty simple, as we have just a lot of the same thing to do (like 24 times :roll: ).


0.) The first thing as always we will do is to think about the layout of what we want to display. :!:
As we want to display a calendar, a TableLayout would fit absolutely perfect :!:

Lets take a look at the calendar_layout.xml. It will consist of 4 Rows, with 6 columns each. Each field in our table is 'filled' with a Button, that has a ID, a Text (the day) and as we do not want normal buttons, but fancy look-through ones, we apply a Style to them(which we will also create in the next step).

As we want to fill the whole screen(at least in width) we applied above the following code to the TableLayout:

1.) As see in the screenshots above we are not handling "standard"-Buttons :!:
Every Button is adapted to the same customized style:

We remember that the "@"-sign refers to a resource of this project, here "@style" refers to a style-resource. Styles like the @style/DoorButton are normally defined within the styles.xml.

So we are simply overriding the default-style-parameters for the Button. We once again refer to xml-Color-Definitions we place in a file like colors.xml.

[align=center]Phew, that was enough XML for [s]this tutorial[/s] now =)[/align]

2.) Lets get to the ChristmasCalendar.xml:
We will need an OnClickListener to react on the clicks to all of the 24 Buttons. We choose one single OnClickListener for all Buttons as a click on them will lead to almost the same outcome just a different picture (/res/drwawable/door_X.gif) will be loaded).

So we read out the Caption of the Button, switch on it, to get the related Drawable-Resource (put that to a b]Bundle[/b](within an b]Intent[/b]), that will be passed to our b]ImageDisplay[/b]-SubActivity, which displays the Drawable.

We now determined the Drawable behind this calendar-door. Now we prepare to send an Intent to the ImageDisplayer-Activity (will be explained seperately) the will display that Drawable.

3.) Lets take a look at the onCreate(...)-method of our ChristmasCalendar-Activity. It also does not much except calling applyListenerToButtons(myOcl);, which applies the listener from the previous step to all the 24 Buttons from our XML-Layout. After that it simply displays a Notification that shows the current Date and Time (don't cheat on opening doors of tomorrow ;) ):

4.) The ImageDisplayer.java-Activity is pretty simple. It loads a Drawable using the id that it got passed in the bundle we sent to it on a click to on of the calendar-doors of the Main-Part. Also provides an simple close-button.

Parsed in 0.038 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

i had more errors which i found out how to fix them, like dateutil is not recognized ( it's located now inside android.pim), also i think that colors.xml should be color.xml ( that's how it's called from the styles.xml)
i will appreciate any help about those errors.

That happens because the code is from an early SDK.
Some tips:

"[font=Courier New]id="+@.....[/font]" is now "[font=Courier New]android:id="+@.....[/font]"
[font=Courier New]myBundle.getInteger()/myBundle.putInteger()[/font] is now [font=Courier New]myBundle.getInt()/myBundle.putInt()[/font]
[font=Courier New]startSubActivity[/font] is now [font=Courier New]startActivityForResult[/font]
Notifications using [font=Courier New]NotificationManager[/font] are now from [font=Courier New]Toast[/font] (search for it)

Hope I could help you.

Regards,
