I need help making a longpress Context menu

Basiclly I need help making it so people can longpress on a button and choose to set as ringtone or notfication tone.
here is some of my code I use so far for the sound:
Code:
MediaPlayer mpButtonClick;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//set up the button sounds
mpButtonClick = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.money);
Button bmoney = (Button) findViewById(R.id.money);
bmoney.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mpButtonClick.start();
}
});

View.setOnLongClickListener is all you need. As you should know Button extends TextView, which in turn extends View, so you can use that method on a Button too

sorry but still kind of confused because I added the following before you mentioned this and got a force close:
Code:
Button money = (Button) findViewById(R.id.money);
Button registerForContextMenu;
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.setHeaderTitle("Context Menu");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Action 1");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Action 2");
}

Ok, so now after reading I do actually have a menu on long press like I wanted...the only problem is that it doesn't actually get the sound file and save it
I am wondering what did I do wrong now? Here is the code I used:
Code:
Button SoundButton1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.money);
registerForContextMenu(SoundButton1);
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.setHeaderTitle("Save as...");
menu.add(0, MENU_RINGTONE, 0, "Ringtone");
menu.add(0, MENU_NOTIFICATION, 0, "Notification");
}
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if(item.getTitle()=="Ringtone"){function1(item.getItemId());}
else if(item.getTitle()=="Notification"){function2(item.getItemId());}
else {return false;}
return true;
}
public void function1(int id){
Toast.makeText(this, "Ringtone saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void function2(int id){
Toast.makeText(this, "Notification saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

I hate to bump an old thread but I am trying to add notifications and ringtones to a soundboard, I was able to successfully use the example here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ode-only-setting-first-button-as-ringtone-etc
but I have only been able to get it to save the audio from the first button. Could anyone point out how to get it working for each sound rather than just the first?

I would not rely on "==" returning what you think you want....use .equals() instead.
And I would probably just call one method and pass in the item id and let that method handle your processing. function1 and function2 are redundant.

I wonder how exactly you thought that just showing a toast with the Ringtone id will save it in device settings. in function1() and function2() you must add handlers to get resource from the id, set that stream as the desired ringtone, notification.

Help writing something with setOnItemClickListener

In my Android app, I have a sound that I want to play when a certain selection has been made from a spinner, but I want it to play the when the user actually makes the proper selection (or just after). My problem is that although the sound does play when they make the correct selection, as long as that selection stays chosen, it also plays every time the app starts up, when it should ONLY play at the time it's chosen. I think I need to change my setOnItemSelectedListener to setOnItemClickListener, but I'm not sure how (still pretty new to java). Can any generous soul out there show me how to change this up (assuming that's how to best solve this problem)?
Here is the code I have now:
Code:
fitnessSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fitness_spinner);
ArrayAdapter adapter4 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.fitness_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter4.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
fitnessSpinner.setAdapter(adapter4);
fitnessSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long i) {
Log.d("test", "p: " + position + " " + i);
if(position == 0) {
//First Entry
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.bowchica);
mp.start();
} if(position == 4) {
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, R.raw.debbie2);
mp.start();
}
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
}
});

I haven't try the below code but you can try it on your own and tell us.
In onCreate() declare MediaPlayer mp;
In every if statement that you use for check insert this code:
Code:
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.yoursound;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);
After that override the methods onPause() and onResume() and insert this:
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
If it is still playing a sound when you start your app, then you should check your code again if you have set as default option any of your selection options.

I would LOVE to try this out...Unfortunately, I'm way too dumb at this point point ot figure out exactly where those code snippets would go inside of what I already have.
Does anyone have a couple of minutes to show me where it would go?

Below is a sample code. Since i don't know your code I give you a snippet that you should adjust it to your code.
Code:
public class SampleSound extends Activity{
private Spinner fitnessSpinner;
private MediaPlayer mp;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);//here goes your layout
setViews();//here you will set all your views(spinners buttons textviews etc..)
setAdapters();//set your adapters here
setListeners();//
}
private void setListeners() {
fitnessSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener(){
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long i) {
Log.d("test", "p: " + position + " " + i);
if(position == 0) {
//First Entry
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.bowchica;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);
mp.start();
} if(position == 4) {
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
int resid = R.raw.debbie2;
mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, resid);
mp.start();
}
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
}
});
}
private void setAdapters() {
ArrayAdapter adapter4 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.fitness_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter4.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
fitnessSpinner.setAdapter(adapter4);
}
private void setViews() {
fitnessSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fitness_spinner);
}
public void onResume(){
super.onResume();
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
}
public void onPause(){
super.onPause();
if(mp!=null){mp.release();}
}
}

I really appreciate the help. I put the code in my routine, but it still plays the sound every time the activity is loaded (as long as the selection in the spinner is correct). It should only play the sound when the correct selection is made.
Any other ideas?

I am sure that your Spinner is set to some value (since you have values to display). Because your Spinner points to a selection (doesn't matter if you have selected or it is selected by default) your sound plays (even when you start the app).
A way to stop the sound playing at start is to declare and an other Item like you did with the previous 4 and set it as default selection of your Spinner.
To sum up:
1.You have to append in R.array.fitness_array an Item (like you did with the previous Items) and give it a name.
2.At the end of method setAdapters() insert this:
Code:
fitnessSpiner.setSelection(5);// or whatever is your selection number
Now it should work but you should know that this is not a good practice and you should try make a ListView or something else.

I'd be happy to change this out to a listview, or whatever would work. I just have to give my user a choice of 4 or 5 items, from which they can choose only one. Something like a drop down box, but in Android, I thought my only option was a spinner. But whatever I use, I have to be able to play a sound when certain items are chosen, but ONLY when those items are chosen, NOT whenever the activity is called up.
Any specific ideas of what I might change to?

What if I had another control like a textview or an edittext (with it's visibility property set to false) that I programatically populated with the users selection (when it's the selection that I want) and then have an OnItemClcickListener set to play the sound?
Could that work?

I will answer from the last to the top of your questions.
1.You can do whatever you want with android. You want TextViews and EditTexts with complex and nested Layouts you can do it. Write services that will communicate with your contacts through a content provider? You can do it.
Write, read and test code. Only this way you will actually learn.
2.Read developer.android.com. Read the android tutorials from there and specifically the Notepad example. You will learn a lot.
A good resource with small examples for ListViews is this.
3.Have you tried the changes I told you from the last post? Did it worked?
Since you just started with android and programming you must first be happy if you have the expected result and then read more to make your code better

Your suggested changes (fitnessSpiner.setSelection(5);// or whatever is your selection number) would stop the sound from playing, but defeat the apps purpose. Every time this activity is loaded, the spinners hit preferences to load the previously stored data. So if I force the spinner to a different selection to NOT play sound when the activity loads, then I would be displaying the wrong data for the user.

Yes you are right. So it is better to make a ListActivity. Read developer.android.com and the link i gave you before. You will be ok with this!

You're using "setOnItemSelectedListener", which sounds like when the app starts, its getting "selected" again.
Have you tried using "setOnItemClickListener" instead?
fitnessSpinner.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener () {
public void onItemClicked() {}
};

onClickListener doesn't work for the spinner...I wish it did.
I REALLY need the drop down functionality of teh spinner, so I guess I'm going to try and figure out a way to have an invisible edittext that I set to the spinner selection and then use onClickListener or onChange...

[Q] Using Split Action in android

Hi!
My self Raj, i have a problem when using the split action in my application.
i am doing an E-Menu for an restaurant. i list out all available category in major listview if the user click on the item of major list it should display all available minor items of its in behind of the Major listview.
I found one solution in Google it is possible by using split action.
Can anyone guide me / give some sample i may know about it..,
I am waiting for your guide.,
Have A Happy Day..,
Thanks to all..,

Simply add the following line to your <activity> or <application> tag in your AndroidManifest :
Code:
uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow"
EDIT : As a side note, it seems you want the split actionbar to be displayed only after the user clicked something, in that use case, the Contextual ActionBar seems more suited.
To use it, simply define your actionbar items in a menu.xml just like the normal actionbar, then in your java code use something like :
Code:
private ActionMode.Callback mActionModeCallback = new ActionMode.Callback() {
@Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
@Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_item1:
//do something
mode.finish();
return true;
case R.id.menu_item2:
// do something else
mode.finish();
return true;
case R.id.menu_item3:
// etc....
mode.finish();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
@Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
mActionMode = null;
}
And in the onClickListener() of the component that triggers the contextual ActionBar, call it like that :
Code:
if (mActionMode != null)
// Do nothing
else
mActionMode = startActionMode(mActionModeCallback);
You might want to use the ActionBarSherlock Library in order to keep compatibility with gingerbread/froyo

[Q] How to dismiss contextual action bar programmatically

I am using contextual action bar for lisview check box.I want to dismiss it programmatically to ensure that it is hidden if no check box is selected. [/code]private ActionMode.Callback mActionModeCallback = new ActionMode.Callback() {
// called when the action mode is created; startActionMode() was called
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Inflate a menu resource providing context menu items
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
// assumes that you have "contexual.xml" menu resources
inflater.inflate(R.menu.contextual, menu);
return true;
}
// the following method is called each time
// the action mode is shown. Always called after
// onCreateActionMode, but
// may be called multiple times if the mode is invalidated.
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false; // Return false if nothing is done
}
// called when the user selects a contextual menu item
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.cut:
getActivity().finish();
// the Action was executed, close the CAB
return true;
default :
return false;
}
}
// called when the user exits the action mode
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
mActionMode = null;
checkedindex.clear();
loadlist(new File(prog.getText().toString()));
checkedindex.clear();
selection=false;
}
};
[/Code]
I am using it like this
Code:
mActionMode = getActivity().startActionMode(mActionModeCallback);
Where mActionMode is object(Universal)
I have tried mActionMode=null; or mActionMode.finish() etc.

PreferenceFragment and Tabs

Hi,
currently I am developing a App.
I use the NavigationDrawer to set up a Menu (with the "Burger-Button") on the left side.
Wenn I choose a menu item, for example a PreferenceFragment i displayed.
My problem: I want to display a Tab-Layout with a PreferenceFragment in each Tab.
But I don´t know how...
In my MainActitivty-Class (AppCompatActivity) I change the content of my App (after the user clicked on a menu item) like this:
Code:
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = this.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
int id = item.getItemId();
// Globale Eistellungen
if (id == R.id.nav_main_settings) {
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.containerView, new MainPreferenceMenu());
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
Whereby "MainPreferenceMenu" is a PreferenceFragment.
I tried it with this tutorial: https://guides.codepath.com/android/google-play-style-tabs-using-tablayout
First Problem: I can´t set my PreferenceFragment here:
Code:
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return PageFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
}
Because "PreferenceFragment" is the wring Class.
Also I don´t know how to set the "ViewPager" like in the Tutorial (MainActivity).
Can anybody help me?
I hope my Problem is clear.

Using view pager for tabs is the best option as it behaves as per material guide lines.
