Need help with a title menu

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a minesweeper-like game for my independent project in school this semester, but I'm running into a but of trouble with the title screen. What I'm trying to do is have a seperate activity launch for MainGame.java and Options.java when their respective buttons are clicked. When I click on Start, it launches the MainGame activity, but whenever I click on Options the app force closes. It's really weird because I'm doing essentially the same thing with both buttons. Here's the code for Title.java, let me know if you need to see anything else:
Code:
package com.freekyfrogy.treasure;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Title extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
Button buttonStart, buttonScores, buttonOptions, buttonExit;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.title);
buttonStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStart);
buttonStart.setOnClickListener(this);
buttonScores = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonScores);
buttonScores.setOnClickListener(this);
buttonOptions = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonOptions);
buttonOptions.setOnClickListener(this);
buttonExit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonExit);
buttonExit.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.buttonStart:
if(buttonStart.isPressed()){
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainGame.class));
}
break;
case R.id.buttonScores:
if(buttonScores.isPressed()){
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.toastComingSoon, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
case R.id.buttonOptions:
if(buttonOptions.isPressed()){
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Options.class));
}
break;
case R.id.buttonExit:
if(buttonExit.isPressed()){
finish();
}
break;
}
}
}

If i had to guess id say you didnt declare both activities in your manifest...
what does the debugger say is the problem?

I declared them both in the manifest, here's it's XML code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.freekyfrogy.treasure"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<activity android:name="Title"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="MainGame"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
</activity>
<activity android:name="Options"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and the Error I'm getting is this:
Code:

Can you post your Options class? It looks to me like there may be something wrong in there.

Options class:
Code:
package com.freekyfrogy.treasure;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Options extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
int intX = 5;
int intY = 5;
EditText sizeX = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editX);
EditText sizeY = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editY);
Button setXY = (Button) findViewById(R.id.setXY);
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.options);
setXY.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
String strX = sizeX.getText().toString();
String strY = sizeY.getText().toString();
intX = Integer.parseInt(strX);
intY = Integer.parseInt(strY);
Toast.makeText(this, "this is a toast: "+ intX+ " "+ intY, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

Hi freekyfrogy,
you should declare there controls of in onCreate method of Options activity
EditText sizeX = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editX);
EditText sizeY = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editY);
Button setXY = (Button) findViewById(R.id.setXY);
your option activity code look like this:
package com.freekyfrogy.treasure;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Options extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
int intX = 5;
int intY = 5;
Button setXY = (Button) findViewById(R.id.setXY);
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.options);
EditText sizeX = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editX);
EditText sizeY = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editY);
setXY.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
String strX = sizeX.getText().toString();
String strY = sizeY.getText().toString();
intX = Integer.parseInt(strX);
intY = Integer.parseInt(strY);
Toast.makeText(this, "this is a toast: "+ intX+ " "+ intY, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

Oh I see now!!! Thanks so much, now it's not force closing haha

[Q] What is wrong with my project?

Hi all, I'm fairly new to Java and my overall coding skills are not as advanced as I'd like them to be but I really would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.
My first goal is to code an application for Android which measures the acceleration (X, Y, Z directions) and displays the values in a TextView.
There will be other user configurable options like unit conversion or limits with audio warnings etc. later on.
Right now I only have a few lines of code and the application already force closes right after starting.
I am posting my MainActivity.java, my activity_main.xml and the sensoractivity2 Manifest. Please point me in the right direction!
MainActivity.java:
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
TextView tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tx.setText((int) x);
TextView ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
ty.setText((int) y);
TextView tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
tz.setText((int) z);
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
activity_main.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="X-Wert" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Y-Wert" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Z-Wert" />
</LinearLayout>
sensoractivity2 Manifest:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.sensoractivity2"
android:versionCode="1"

<application

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

First thing I see is that you are not setting your view in your activity classes "oncreate" method. Can you post your logcat output when the app force closes? That will help the most.

Could you please post a logcat?
Just the lines of your app. Get it using the logcat view in Eclipse.

Look at the bold for changes that will help you. When you are working with view objects, you shouldn't create the object in a listener or something that is called over and over. You will be creating a memory leak.
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
[B]TextView tx = null;
TextView ty = null;
TextView tz = null;[/B]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
[B] setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);[/B]
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
[B]tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);[/B]
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
[B]tx.setText((int) x);
ty.setText((int) y);
tz.setText((int) z);[/B]
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor arg0, int arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

Here is the part of the catlog which I believe to be relevant when the crash occurs:

Thanks for your hints, zalez! Going to try that now.

The logcat states a nullpointer error. I believe my corrections will fix at least that error.

True, nullpointer errors are fixed. After debugging it again, I'm getting these errors now:

It needs to be
Code:
tx.setText(String.valueOf(x));
ty.setText(String.valueOf(y));
tz.setText(String.valueOf(z));
If you pass an int, the TextView thinks that it is a resource id. That is why you need to convert it to a String first.

I over looked the bold part. When setting text for a Textview, it has to be in string format. There is no implied conversion.
Code:
package com.example.sensoractivity2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SensorEventListener{
private SensorManager sensorManager;
TextView tx = null;
TextView ty = null;
TextView tz = null;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
sensorManager=(SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
tx = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ty = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
tz = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
}
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
float x, y, z = 0;
if (event.sensor.getType()==Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER) {
x=event.values[0];
y=event.values[1];
z=event.values[2];
tx.setText[B](Integer.toString(x)[/B]);
ty.setText([B]Integer.toString(y)[/B]);
tz.setText([B]Integer.toString(z)[/B]);
}
}

Yes! That did the trick! Now my next problem is that I only see one value instead of three, from there on I will try to move on by myself.

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but you aren't overriding your onCreate method? Could that have anything to do with it?

He does:

He just did not wrote the @override annotation before that. As far as i know, you do not have to use it.
EDIT: Yep, it does not matter. See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/94361/when-do-you-use-javas-override-annotation-and-why
It says that it is just for ensuring that you are overriding the right method and for making the code easier to read.

Hi all, I am a bit further with my project since I found some time to work on it again.
//edit, force closes on starting fixed!
Here is what it is supposed to be doing: It reads the x, y and z values for acceleration from the LINEAR_ACCELERATION sensor. If a certain value is exceeded a timer will be started. If the amount of seconds the timer counts is higher than a defined threshold, it will play the default notifcation sound.
If the value from the sensor is below the threshold, it will stop the timer. The whole timer thing isn't working, the notification is played as soon as the normal acceleration threshold is passed and the time is ignored.
Please review my code below and tell me what I'm not seeing here, note that I'm still a noob.
Also I'm interested in a method to capture the maximum values read from the sensor and put it in a textview, can you help me?

Yay German code (live there, too) xD Initialise your seconds in your onCreate, it's much nicer and probably the problem. A method gets the highest value the sensor measured would be a simple
Code:
double savedVal=0; //or any other type
private void updateMaxVal(){
double currentVal =// get the value from the specific sensor
if(savedVal<currentVal) {
savedVal = currentVal;
// maybe save the time as well
}
You'd have to put that method in the onsensorchanged so it will be called often. Then update your text View with the new saved value

Hey fellow German!
If I initialise the seconds variable in the onCreate part it says that the variable is not being used (yellow marking) and in the code below I get an error obviously stating that the variable is unknown. ^^
I have three different values, how can I link the x, y and z variables in the method and how can I make sure the variables are known inside of the method? (Same problem as above)

Since I don't know how to do it with a method I just wrote the following code in my onsensorchanged part, the problem is that the max value textviews always show the same as the current value textviews:
float savedValX = 0;
float savedValY = 0;
float savedValZ = 0;
float currentValX = event.values[0];
float currentValY = event.values[1];
float currentValZ = event.values[2];
if (savedValX < currentValX) {
savedValX = currentValX;
xM.setText("X max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValX * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
if (savedValY < currentValY) {
savedValY = currentValY;
yM.setText("Y max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValY * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
if (savedValZ < currentValZ) {
savedValZ = currentValZ;
zM.setText("Z max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(currentValZ * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
Also I still have the problem that my seconds interval is being ignored.
//edit, fixed it! Now I only need the max value method.

OK so I now understand what you are trying to do with your Chronometer, the problem is that you reinitialize it every time the onSensorChanged is called so if you then ask for the seconds it has just started. To fix this, you could set an onChronometerTickListener and set your textViews in that method. To avoid recreating the Chrono use
Code:
if(chrono==null){
chrono = new Chronometer();
chrono.start();
}
If u don't want the tick listener or it doesn't work ( haven't used it yet) you can put your if(seconds<...)in the else {}of above method. But remember that the onSensorChanged is called EVERYTIME the sensor registers a change, this might be very often or just sometimes, so there is no guarantee that the text views will be updated if the else clause in that method is used
PS forget about the initializing of the seconds, I don't know what I was thinking yesterday, but I guess it was too late ...
/*edit:
What I meant with
Code:
double savedVal=0; //or any other type
private void updateMaxVal(){
is that you save your value in your class ("globally"), so that it is accessible to the whole class.
and to do it nicely you can do it like this:
Code:
float savedValX = 0;
float savedValY = 0;
float savedValZ = 0;
boolean change = false;
private void updateMaxVals(SensorEvent event){ // call this method in your onSensorChanged
change = false;
savedValX = getMax(event.values[0], savedValX);
if(change){
xM.setText("X max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValX * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
savedValY = getMax(event.values[1], savedValY);
if(change){
yM.setText("Y max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValY * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
savedValZ = getMax(event.values[2], savedValZ);
if(change){
yM.setText("Z max: "+(Math.abs(Math.round(savedValZ * 1000) / 1000.0)));
}
}
private float getMax(float currentVal, float savedVal){
if(currentVal > savedVal){
change = true;
return currentVal;
}else{
change = false;
return savedVal;
}
}

Camera Preview

Im trying to start a simple app and i need to display on a SurfaceView the preview of the cam as soon as the App start.
i added the permission to the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
and my code:
Code:
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
public class MainActivity extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
public Camera camera = null;
public MainActivity(Context context) {
super(context);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
mHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera = Camera.open();
try{
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch(Exception e){
}
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
params.setPreviewSize(width,height);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera = null;
}
}
Ive looked for many tutorial and all technically do the same or smiliart stuff. But the app crashes. I cant find a solution

On Eclipse i know how to show the windows of the LogCat, but cant really find it here on Android Studio.
Im a bit newby about this sorry, coming from PHP using just Notepad.
Guess i found it, added log cat
I saw some tutorial like this, im not sure why it doesnt start.
Is it for te onCreate method missing? but i saw that for other works anyway like this
Btw i've also triyed an other way, but stills give me errors. i could upload that one too, different logcat.
Hope one of the two could be solved

In Android you normally do not use the constructor of an Activity for anything.
Use the onCreate method instead.
EDIT: The log says that the constructor must be empty.

I thought about that (even if i saw video tutorial doing it) so i tried wht onCreate method and now it seams to give problem with the setParameters?
Ive uploaded the new code and logcats before

Ah. Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3890381/camera-setparameters-failed-in-android

i tryed that at th beggin, and didnt work, in fact i tried it again and still give me the same error apparently

While I'm still learning myself, it looks like you are getting a failed camera permission. And then it tries to pass in an invalid parameter to the camera.

But cant understand which one and how should i do. it ryed the 2 ways everybody does

What phone are you trying this on? Have you tried it in an emulator?

After getting home and I was able to try your second piece of code. It looks like it is a problem with <CODE>params.setPreviewSize(arg2, arg3);</CODE>, it doesn't like the width and height arguments. I found THIS(second answer). and after plugging it into your code it was working for me. If you like I can show you the modified code, altho its real easy to plug in.

i tryed his first example and finally i get his "distoted" image. When i'll have time ill try the rets thnk u very much
ill try this:
Code:
Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height, Camera.Parameters parameters) {
Camera.Size result=null;
float dr = Float.MAX_VALUE;
float ratio = (float)width/(float)height;
for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {
float r = (float)size.width/(float)size.height;
if( Math.abs(r - ratio) < dr && size.width <= width && size.height <= height ) {
dr = Math.abs(r - ratio);
result = size;
}
}
return result;
}
Code:
ublic void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and begin
// the preview.
if (isPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Size> sizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Size optimalSize = getBestPreviewSize( w, h, parameters);
parameters.setPreviewSize(optimalSize.width, optimalSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.startPreview();
isPreviewRunning =true;
}
im not sure abot the 3rd parameter of the getBestPreviewSize method which one is it. Like this is still distorted

Yeah, I could never fix the distortion back when I was trying my camera app. But I think I will tinker with it again. Keep this updated if you find anything, I will also.

What am I doing wrong?

tells you there, you are asking an object that is of type "x" that is NULL to do something on line 74

Why not just use the picasso library or similar to download the image asynchronously in the background?

I'm a beginner in Android application so I don't have the proper knowledge right now, thanks for the suggestion though, I'll definitely try to take a look at that library :good:

Yeah but I also need to download it and then load it, and it's not good to download that amount of data on the main thread

AsyncTask runs in the background on a separate thread via the doInBackground method.

Also, when there is a possibility that one of the objects included in the intent is null you can trap the error with a try/catch around the sendBroadcast() to prevent the exception from crashing the entire app.

[Q] Problem with simple android app with VideoView?

Hello,
I am trying to build an Android Studio project based on a simple example from the web with VideoView. Everything seems OK, the project builds successfully but both in the emulator and on my device it gives an error: "Unfortunately [myapp] has stopped". This is getting really frustrating, I've searched the Internet for similar errors but didn't find any solution to my case. I think the code is ok but there is something with the settings because I imported the project from a web example:
itcuties[dot]com/android/play-video/
Anyway, the code is:
........SelectActivity.java........
Code:

playFromUrlButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonURL);
playOnYouTubeButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonOnYouTube);
// Set onClickListener
playFromUrlButton.setOnClickListener(this);
playOnYouTubeButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Check which button was clicked
if (playFromUrlButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(SelectActivity.this, URLVideoActivity.class);
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
} else if (playOnYouTubeButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse([B][I]"<Youtbe page>[/I][/B]"));
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
}
}
}
........URLVideoActivity.java........

Anybody? Thanks in advance.

Classnotfound exception
You didn't post the SelectActivity.java for this.
Did you create this ?
Please share the content for the SelectActivity.java class.

Change the below codes :
Code:
if (playFromUrlButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(SelectActivity.this, URLVideoActivity.class);
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
} else if (playOnYouTubeButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse([B][I]"<Youtbe page>[/I][/B]"));
SelectActivity.this.startActivity(i);
}
To this:
Code:
if (playFromUrlButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(SelectActivity.this, URLVideoActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
} else if (playOnYouTubeButton.isPressed()) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse([B][I]"<Youtbe page>[/I][/B]"));
startActivity(i);
}

Can you try to run this app on your phone and see if it works?

It doesn't work neither on emulator nor on my tablet - same error.
