How to Repaint a View?

sommeralex · by **sommeralex** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:24 pm

Hello!

When i have an activity A with a GridView and start a subactivty B, and within this subactivity B i go back to activtiy A - then the screen (GridView) is empty. If i dragdrop on this empty screen, it seems that android "repaints" and the Grid appears again.

Is there any function i could call to "refresh" / "repaint" a view?

hence:

if i have an activity and setContentView - how can i "get" the view a-la "getContentView??!

-> i think the view-method "forceLayout" could help

Hi,

I'm not sure since I didn't use this myself yet, but I think it is invalidate().

Yours sincerely,

Hi,

don't know about that but I found some function that returns a View.

View.findFocus() will return the View that currently has the focus.
http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... findFocus()

View.getRootView() will return the Root view of the application.
http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... tRootView()

You might check out the View class for some functions.

Yours sincerely,

nothing works...

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
setContentView(R.layout.iconmenu);
 
iconTextGrid = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.myGrid);
 
Parsed in 0.029 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

on resume, my GridView is still blank. I tried (on ActivtiyResult:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
findViewById(R.id.myGrid).postInvalidate();
 
findViewById(R.id.myGrid).invalidate();
 
iconTextGrid.forceLayout();
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

but nothing works..

Hello sommeralex,

what you experience is probably the known ListView Bug, which appears when you click the ListView then it gets scroll out of the screen :lol:

. (The Bug is already reported and will be fixed within the next SDK-release).

If you use an Adapter the workaround (dirty) is to "re"set the Adapter.
We've already had a talk about the issue :arrow:

:src: here.

Let me know if my assumption that your bug is the same is false.

Regards,
plusminus
