Sorry, didn't understand.

I have implemented the constructor. Do i have to replace this constructor with the other one, or?

When i implement the constructor next to the other one i get this error:

Implicit super constructor View() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor

What do i need to code in the body of this constructor? What is AttributeSet for something?

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:35 pm

you need to call super(context, attrs) as the first statement in your constructor.

I replaced the constructor in Mens. The constructor now look like this:

Code: Select all: public Mens(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context); }

In the main class i changed this

Code: Select all: ObjMens = new Mens(this);

to this

Code: Select all: ObjMens = new Mens(this, null);

Now i don't get any errors and i see my drawing. But when i want to add another View class:

Code: Select all: public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); LinearLayout layMain = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layMain); Mens ObjMens = (Mens)findViewById(R.id.myView); ObjMens = new Mens(this, null); layMain.addView(ObjMens); [b]layMain.addView(new SampleView(this));[/b] }

I don't see the drawing of SampleView. SampleView is an inner class of the main class. But i don't see it on the screen. How is that?

I think it is strange because when i do this:

Code: Select all: setContentView( new SampleView(this))

it ain't a problem. Why is that?

NB: Android and views, men i have a lot to learn. At this time everything is acracadabra....

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:03 pm

Maybe, because you add it to the layout the previous object in the layout has layout_height="fill_parent" which will make your SampleView appear out side of the visible space of the layout.

And the docs are there to help. Though they don't really explain how to inflate a custom view from xml, the code in the docs is deprecated.

Now i don't understand nothing anymore.

When i erase all my code in the onCreate method:

Code: Select all: public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); }

I still see the drawing of my Mens class!! How is this possible?? Is it because the main.xml? Thus when you declare a View (or something similar) in the main.xml it will be displayed? But what if you declare something in the main.xml and you don't want it to be visible.. what do you have to do?

Pff i don't understand..

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:19 pm

from the docs:

public void setVisibility(int visibility)
Set the enabled state of this view.
Parameters
visibility One of VISIBLE, INVISIBLE, or GONE.

View.setVisibility() lets you make visible, invisible and didsapear the view. GONE means invisible and not thanking space in the parentview.

xplosive · by **xplosive** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:22 pm

And where do i have to put that? In the Mens class? If so.. my Mens class is already visible. But my SampleView class ain't. So i have to put the method in the innerclass? And which code do i have to put in the body?

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:54 pm

You should call it from wherever you want your View to be hidden. The function is View.setVisibility(), which means it works on the View and you don't need to implement it.

I seriously suggest you to take a look at the docs, the Notepad tutorial and some of the Sample applications in the SDK samples dir.

xplosive · by **xplosive** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:03 pm

I'm reading the documentation now.

But the last thing i want to know is: How can i show 2 view classes? The point is, i have a matrix (draw in class1) and i want to draw a object in a cell (by coordinates). The object is drawed in another class(class2).

What do i have to do when i want to draw the matrix first and after that draw an object somewhere in the matrix.

This is what i want:

The matrix: (don't know the exact englisch term for it)

| X |---|---|---|
|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|---|---|
|---|---|---|---|

Where X is the object (class2).

How do i this? (the idea is to move the object by the arrow keys)

Thnx for all the help

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:10 pm

That is something you have to handle yourself. If you draw the matrix yourself, you should position object2 yourself within the matrix and draw the object's representation in the draw() of object1.

Maybe I can give you a tip: If you are doing graphics, you should use a canvas. Take a look at my DroidGaming System and DroidGamingExample in the svn. That's a more appropiote way to do heavy drawing. Your way works too and you can keep using that, which could be a smart thing, considering you are still learning, but just look at the code of DroidGamingExample and you'll see an alternative way of doing the drawing in android.

For the record: I have no problem with you asking a lot of questions, but in case of developing you should try to look in the docs, because that way your development will speed up a lot

.
I have always 2 google Chrome windows open: 1 for personal stuff and the other with the android docs open (especially the Class list).

xplosive · by **xplosive** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:28 am

I appreciate all the helping and i know you don't have a problem helping me. But the point is, the way Android build it's applications is for me a different manner of thinking. And there's not so much information avalaible. And the information that is available i don't understand much of it.

Anyway, thnx for all the help

MrSnowflake · by **MrSnowflake** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:32 am

Android development seems indeed a lot different from ordinary desktop development, but once you have you own look at the Activity, gui, ... it's pretty convenient. It takes time though.

Thanks in advance.

Note:
1. i have used example surfaceview overlay, custombutton by mauri, to implement this.
2. i have also did entry in string.xml .

Usually you would also add the view in xml before.
What he sais, or setContentView(layMain);

Then [font=Courier New]findViewById[/font] would fail :P

That's right.
You have to first call setContentView(), then call the findViewById().
An alternative way is using inflate method: android.view.LayoutInflater#inflate()
