Cursor help!

I'm new to using cursors to obtain data from the device. I'm working on a music player (see market link in signature) and I need to be able to list (and eventually play) the music found on the sdcard. I have some code, but I can't seem to get it to work
Here's the code I found on a website, but it leads to a force-close:
public class TestingData extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello);
String[] projection = new String[] {
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE
};
Cursor mCur = managedQuery(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, null, null, null
);
mCur.moveToFirst();
while (mCur.isAfterLast() == false) {
for (int i=0; i<mCur.getColumnCount(); i++) {
view.append("n" + mCur.getString(i));
}
mCur.moveToNext();
}
}
}
Here's my attempt at fixing it, which still leads to a force-close:
public class test3 extends Activity {
TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text1);
ListView list;
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
String[] projection = new String[] {
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATE_ADDED
, MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
ArrayList<String> _list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(projection));
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,_list);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
Cursor mCur = managedQuery(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection, null, null,
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME + "ASC"
);
mCur.moveToFirst();
while (mCur.isAfterLast() == false) {
for (int i=0; i<mCur.getColumnCount(); i++) {
view.append("n" + mCur.getString(i));
}
mCur.moveToNext();
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong? Both codes lead to a force-close and I can't think of anything else to do. Thanks in advance.

did you set the correct permissions in the android manifest?

*slaps hand to forehead* I always forget about the manifest. Lol. Ummmm....what all am I supposed to put in there for these codes? Do both codes look like they would accomplish the same thing?

Well, I've written hundreds of Cursors in Android and I don't run my loop like you do, so, as a suggestion:
Code:
Cursror c = yada, yada;
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
// TO DO HERE...
} while(c.moveToNext());
}
c.close();
Never had a problem.

Awesome! Thanks. Ill try it when I get a chance

[q]Navigation drawer fullscreen

I am trying to make listview [slidable from left] of navigation drawer layout fullscreen that is make its width to fullscreen.But i am not able to do it.any suggestions?
I want to remove the right gap

Yes, you have to extend DrawerLayout and override some methods because MIN_DRAWER_MARGIN is private
Code:
public class FullDrawerLayout extends DrawerLayout {
private static final int MIN_DRAWER_MARGIN = 0; // dp
public FullDrawerLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public FullDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public FullDrawerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
final int widthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec);
final int heightMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec);
final int widthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
final int heightSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
if (widthMode != MeasureSpec.EXACTLY || heightMode != MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"DrawerLayout must be measured with MeasureSpec.EXACTLY.");
}
setMeasuredDimension(widthSize, heightSize);
// Gravity value for each drawer we've seen. Only one of each permitted.
int foundDrawers = 0;
final int childCount = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() == GONE) {
continue;
}
final LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
if (isContentView(child)) {
// Content views get measured at exactly the layout's size.
final int contentWidthSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
widthSize - lp.leftMargin - lp.rightMargin, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
final int contentHeightSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
heightSize - lp.topMargin - lp.bottomMargin, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
child.measure(contentWidthSpec, contentHeightSpec);
} else if (isDrawerView(child)) {
final int childGravity =
getDrawerViewGravity(child) & Gravity.HORIZONTAL_GRAVITY_MASK;
if ((foundDrawers & childGravity) != 0) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Child drawer has absolute gravity " +
gravityToString(childGravity) + " but this already has a " +
"drawer view along that edge");
}
final int drawerWidthSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(widthMeasureSpec,
MIN_DRAWER_MARGIN + lp.leftMargin + lp.rightMargin,
lp.width);
final int drawerHeightSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(heightMeasureSpec,
lp.topMargin + lp.bottomMargin,
lp.height);
child.measure(drawerWidthSpec, drawerHeightSpec);
} else {
throw new IllegalStateException("Child " + child + " at index " + i +
" does not have a valid layout_gravity - must be Gravity.LEFT, " +
"Gravity.RIGHT or Gravity.NO_GRAVITY");
}
}
}
boolean isContentView(View child) {
return ((LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams()).gravity == Gravity.NO_GRAVITY;
}
boolean isDrawerView(View child) {
final int gravity = ((LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams()).gravity;
final int absGravity = Gravity.getAbsoluteGravity(gravity,
child.getLayoutDirection());
return (absGravity & (Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.RIGHT)) != 0;
}
int getDrawerViewGravity(View drawerView) {
final int gravity = ((LayoutParams) drawerView.getLayoutParams()).gravity;
return Gravity.getAbsoluteGravity(gravity, drawerView.getLayoutDirection());
}
static String gravityToString(int gravity) {
if ((gravity & Gravity.LEFT) == Gravity.LEFT) {
return "LEFT";
}
if ((gravity & Gravity.RIGHT) == Gravity.RIGHT) {
return "RIGHT";
}
return Integer.toHexString(gravity);
}
}

Can you elaborate more.how to use this class

How do I implement a onscroll Listener to my listview?

I have a large data to load from JSON.
I have implemented a custom list view by following a tutorial, now since the data is huge I want it load as the user scrolls.
This is my LoadRestaurant class code which is inside the main activity.
Code:
class LoadRestaurants extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
//Show Progress Dialog
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(SearchAll.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading All Restaurants...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}
protected String doInBackground(String... arg) {
//building parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
//Getting JSON from URL
String json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(URL_RESTAURANT_LIST, "GET", params);
//Log Cat Response Check
Log.d("Areas JSON: ", "> " + json);
try {
restaurants = new JSONArray(json);
if (restaurants != null) {
//loop through all restaurants
for (int i = 0; i < restaurants.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = restaurants.getJSONObject(i);
//Storing each json object in the variable.
String id = c.getString(TAG_ID);
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String location = c.getString(TAG_LOCATION);
String rating = c.getString(TAG_RATING);
//Creating New Hashmap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
//adding each child node to Hashmap key
map.put(TAG_ID, id);
map.put(TAG_NAME, name);
map.put(TAG_LOCATION, location);
map.put(TAG_RATING, rating);
//adding HashList to ArrayList
restaurant_list.add(map);
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
//dismiss the dialog
pDialog.dismiss();
//Updating UI from the Background Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
SearchAll.this, restaurant_list,
R.layout.listview_restaurants, new String[]{
TAG_ID, TAG_NAME, TAG_LOCATION, TAG_RATING}, new int[]{
R.id.login_id, R.id.restaurant_name, R.id.address, R.id.rating});
setListAdapter(adapter);
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
// Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
Intent intent = new Intent(SearchAll.this, RestaurantProfile.class);
String loginId = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.login_id)).getText().toString();
intent.putExtra("login_id", loginId);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
});
}
}
}
I want to load around 20 restaurants and then it auto loads another 20 as soon as user reaches the end of first 20.
There are lots of tutorials online but its confusing to implement.
Please help me out!

The custom ListView, support for automatic loading you can try https://github.com/chrisbanes/Android-PullToRefresh

Starting chronometer with if condition comparing strings

I have an android application that is receiving a string from an arduino via Bluetooth, names the string "data" and displays it by setting a TextView to the string "data". I want a chronometer to start when the incoming string matches a predefined string.
For example:
Code:
if data.equals(startChrono)){
chronometerLeft.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
chronometerLeft.start();
I actually have the arduino sending a "g" and am setting my string goL to be "g" but cannot get the chronometer to start when the g is received. My TextView shows the g. Code is below. I've tried several things and at a loss. Using same code for chronometer.start() with onClickListener with a button works great. I just need it to start the chronometer when i receive a specific string from the arduino.
Code:
beginListenForData();
// text.setText("Bluetooth Opened");
}
void beginListenForData() {
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final byte delimiter = 10; // This is the ASCII code for a newline
// character
stopWorker = false;
readBufferPosition = 0;
readBuffer = new byte[1024];
workerThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted() && !stopWorker) {
try {
int bytesAvailable = mmInputStream.available();
if (bytesAvailable > 0) {
byte[] packetBytes = new byte[bytesAvailable];
mmInputStream.read(packetBytes);
for (int i = 0; i < bytesAvailable; i++) {
byte b = packetBytes[i];
if (b == delimiter) {
byte[] encodedBytes = new byte[readBufferPosition];
System.arraycopy(readBuffer, 0,
encodedBytes, 0,
encodedBytes.length);
final String data = new String(
encodedBytes, "US-ASCII");
readBufferPosition = 0;
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
text.setText(data);
String goL = "g";
String goR = "f";
chronometerLeft = (Chronometer)findViewById(R.id.chronometerLeft);
chronometerRight = (Chronometer)findViewById(R.id.chronometerRight);
if(data.equals(goL)){
chronometerLeft.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
chronometerLeft.start();
if(data.equals(goR))
chronometerRight.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
chronometerRight.start();
}
}
});
} else {
readBuffer[readBufferPosition++] = b;
}
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
stopWorker = true;
}
}
}
});
workerThread.start();
}

Sorry to bother, but in your while loop condition, what does the '!' before Thread do?

How to draw or erase on a photo loaded onto a Imageview?

As what was stated on the header I want to implement either a "paint" function for user to edit paint/censor unwanted parts of a photo displayed on a imageview before uploading it to a server in the edited format and a redo function if user makes a mistake while editing?
How do I come about doing it, I've read relevant topics on Canvas, or FingerPaint but still puzzled on how to implement it based on my project here? Tried referencing to the links here and here but without success in implementing the codes into my project code due to my lack of programming skills.
Thanks for any help rendered!
