[Q] Please help with tutorial code!

Good evening everyone! I am working on learning some java and I have made it to the notepad tutorial and when I go to run it on the emulator, I am getting a few errors, and I'm hoping someone here may be able to help.
Code:
package com.a8a.todolist;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class ToDoList extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
//Inflat your view
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//Get references to UI widgets
ListView myListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.myListView);
final EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
//Create the array list of to do items
final ArrayList<String> todoItems = new ArrayList<String>();
//Create the array adapter to bind the array to the listview
final ArrayAdapter<String> aa;
[B]aa = new ArayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,todoItems);[/B] [I]Multiple markers at this line - ArayAdapter cannot be resolved to a type - Line breakpoint:ToDoList [line: 27] - onCreate[/I]
(Bundle)
//Bind the arary adapter to the listview.
myListView.setAdapter(aa);
[B]myEditText.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {[/B] [I]OnKeyListener cannot be resolved to a type[/I]
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER)
{
todoItems.add(0, myEditText.getText().toString());
aa.notifyDataSetChanged();
myEditText.setText("");
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
}
The bolded text is whats getting the error and the italics are the error itself. Any help would be appreciated, if you are able to explain why the change needs to be made as well that would be much appreciated, so I can learn from my mistakes.
Thanks in advance!

ArayAdapter was miss-spelled ArrayAdapter
I was also missing an import for OnKeyListener (import android.view.View.OnKeyListener). If you don't import a class and try to use it, Java doesn't know what it is, so it tells you it doesn't recognize the type.

[Q] Playing new sound on each click

I've run into a little trouble and I'm wondering if someone can help me out.
I have a button with several sound effects that go with it. I'm wanting to play a different sound each time the button is pressed, but I just can't get things to work out. Can someone show me the way? Any help would be huge. This is the only thing keeping me from finishing. Here's a little code:
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Main extends Activity {
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mSoundManager = new SoundManager();
mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(1, R.raw.finn_whatthejugisthat);
mSoundManager.addSound(2, R.raw.finn_wordtoyourmother);
Button SoundButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button1);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2);
}
});
}
}

If you want to play a different sound with each click, then you'll have to keep a global counter variable or global string that you change to the next audio file name with each click of the button--sort of a circular buffer. The code you have there tries to play both sounds on the same click and likely mixes them together at the same time if "playSound()" is asynchronous, but I don't know what the SoundManager class is so I have no idea.

Okay, so I understand what you mean, but I don't know how to say that in Java. Could you give a short example? As for SoundManager, it's really a useless class I have that I was using to play my media. You can take a look here:
Code:
package com.andrew.finnandjake;
import java.util.HashMap;
import android.content.Context;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.SoundPool;
public class SoundManager {
private SoundPool mSoundPool;
private HashMap<Integer, Integer> mSoundPoolMap;
private AudioManager mAudioManager;
private Context mContext;
public SoundManager()
{
}
public void initSounds(Context theContext) {
mContext = theContext;
mSoundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
mSoundPoolMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
}
public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{
mSoundPoolMap.put(1, mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
}
public void playSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
}
public void playLoopedSound(int index) {
int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, -1, 1f);
}
}

OK, I see it uses SoundPool. First, change your definition for addSound to:
Code:
public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{
mSoundPoolMap.put([COLOR="Red"]Index[/COLOR], mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
}
Here's code that should work to do a different tone each push and loop back to the beginning.
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ButtonSound extends Activity{
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
private int next=0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mSoundManager=new SoundManager();
mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(0,R.raw.freeze);
mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.ascend);
mSoundManager.addSound(2,R.raw.bubble);
mSoundManager.addSound(3,R.raw.chiff);
Button SoundButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
mSoundManager.playSound(next);
next++;
if(next>3)
next=0;
}
});
}
}

Mkay, so I adjusted my code according to the example and everything came back error free; however, when I run the app and click the button, nothing happens. No sound, but no force close either.
I ran the Debugger and it's telling me that the SoundPool sample is not ready. "Sample 1 not READY", "Sample 2 not READY", etc.

I don't know. I assume you used different names for your sound files. I just grabbed those out of the "notifications" directory of my phone.

Alright, that's cool. Thanks a lot for all of the help. I owe you one.

[Q] [DEV] Trying to use ...1 and ...2 (custom keys)

Hello,
i am trying to use the ...1 and ...2 keys.
These are the two keys between "." and "Shift".
(see http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-neuer-htc-desire-z-sammelthread-img_5169.jpg)
So I have written an app that gives my the keycodes via LogCat:
Code:
package default;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams;
public class ShowKeycodeActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// setContentView(R.layout.main);
setContentView(new MyView(this));
}
class MyView extends View {
private static final String LOGID = "MxView";
String message = "No key pressed yet.";
MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
setFocusable(true);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
canvas.drawText(message, 5, 20, paint);
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent ev) {
Log.i(LOGID, keyCode+"");
invalidate();
return true;
}
}
}
All keys have a keycode but those special keys not.
HTC Sense can use these keys.
What can I do now?
It seems as if the kernel does not now that these keys exist?
Thank you
Tobi

I think only sense kernels support these keys
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

With CyanogenMod 7 one can assign custom shortcuts to it.
But I want to use them as cursor left/right...

Try the Buttonremapper to do that!

Great. This is exactly what I've been looking for!
Thank you

Is my Dialogbox correct?

Hey guys, im on the process of building my app. Basically, so far, this is what should happen:
The user presses a button and a dialogbox appears. In the dialogbox, the user selects the days in which the reminder shall remind him. (If that makes sense...).
This is my Java code:
Code:
package yCM.medireminder;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class ADD extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
private AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder;
private void days()
{
//Declaring the Variables
final ArrayList weekdays = new ArrayList();
dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
final String[] dayss = {"Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
//Starting the Process
dialogBuilder.setTitle("Check the Days");
dialogBuilder.setMessage("Check the days when you will shall be reminded");
dialogBuilder.setMultiChoiceItems(dayss, null, new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which, boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(isChecked){
weekdays.add(which);
}else if(weekdays.contains(which))
{
weekdays.remove(Integer.valueOf(which));
}
}
});
dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your days have been set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}
});
dialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your days have not been set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
}
});
// OUTPUT
AlertDialog dayDialog = dialogBuilder.create();
dayDialog.show();
}
Does everything look alright, the emulator isn't working for my and I have misplaced my phone (its on silent) so I have no way of checking whether it will work. I have linked the dialog box to a button so Im sure that when the button is clicked, the dialog box should appear.

It is recommended to use DialogFragments instead of simple dialogs. That way the system would orientation changes etc. for you.
However, you would need to convert your Activity into a FragmentActivity.

I do plan on making the app on permenantly on portrait mode so I don't think the orientation would be any problem even when the user switches to landscape.
Why would I need to convert my activity to fragmentactivity? What does this do? Also my min sdk is set to api level 8 (2.2 i believe).
Other than that, does the code seem alright?

You just need to do this if you want to use the DialogFragment. For the normal dialog you don't need it.
You can use fragments on Android 1.6+ if you include the supportv4 library.
Try it. That's all I can say. There might be other things that make it crash, apart from that code. Maybe related to the Android lifecycle.

thanks for the info. Just runned it, everythings working smooth for now. Any idea on how to make the android system recognise/link the days of the week on my string? I did have a read through this but didn't quite understand it. I have a feeling that I should be using something got to do with the calender though...

You can get the current time using
Code:
System.currentTimeMillis()
Then create a Date from it:
Code:
Date myDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis();
Then you can format it using the SimpleDateFormat class: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
For some things the Calendar class might be better: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Calendar.html
However, I have not worked with it yet.

[help] i keep getting an error when i add an on click listener

It is the right way to do it, only you messed up the names. If you have two Buttons in your layout (yes and no), you set an onClickListener on one of them calling <buttonName>.setOnClickListener(...);, so in this case yes.setOnClickListener(...). Also I would suggest renaming your Buttons in the code to bYes and bNo or something like that so you know it is a Button. And yes, it is the right section :good:

Dont you also have to declare the buttons with
Button yes = (Button)findViewById(R.id.byes);

If you do it this way, "yes" is only declared in the scope of the onCreate method. It is possible, but for views which sit in memory anyway it's more convenient to have the those delared as instance variables like he did above, right below the class declaration.

Dude I think u Have Interchanged the functions of Button yes and Button no.
yes = (Button)findViewByID(R.id.byes);
no = (Button)findViewByID(R.id.bno);
yes.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
no.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
Also Just For the sake of testing you can add a toast message as below
yes.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"YES Pressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
});
no.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"NO Pressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
});
Also Check the activity_starting_point.xml file if you have messed with the Button IDs.'
Hit Thanks If I have Helped you ......

You don't have to cast to Button class in this particular case, View has already defined method "setOnClickListener".
And yes, you better declare field to keep reference and avoid additional findViewById() calls.
