Both activities are in the same package Second activity uses second layout file setContentView(R.layout.main2); Errors on this line in the Second_Activity. EditText text1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText03); Here is the layout file for the Second_Activity. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I'm trying to put configuration, such as URLs/etc, into a resource folder for a utility class to use. However, I don't want to pass the Context from the activities everywhere. I would like to be able to access a resource via a path name (seems like assets/ was designed for this use), without using a context to access the resource. In this particular case, I want a singleton to use something in configuration when it's instantiated. It has no need for anything from resources besides that one time during instantiation. Therefore, having to pass in a Context every time getInstance() is called

Assume I've got 2 Application A and B. I want to access resources (drawables, images, strings) of an B application from A application. How would I do that? Edit: You can also designate an Android project as a library project, which allows it to be shared with other projects that depend on it. Once an Android project is designated as a library project, it cannot be installed onto a device. Does it mean That I can not use my library on android market? My aim is to use default resources of Application A, but also if someone what he can download Application B and use it resources. If you are the

How do I have to modify my XML resources, or what XML file do I have to create, to access integer values in the same way you access string values with R.string.some_string_resource ? For example, in the code I want to say: ProgressDialog progressBar = new ProgressDialog(getContext()); progressBar.setMax(getInteger(R.integer.maximum)); Is it possible? Terry Yes it is possible, it would look like this: Create an xml resources file in the folder /res/values/ called integers.xml. You are free to give it any name as you want, but choose one that is obvious. In that resources file, create your

is it possible to specify that the strings in a file within the value-* directories are purposely not translated into other languages? I have a bunch of strings that are common for all the languages and need no translation, so I've created an unlocalized-strings.xml file within values directory.. Running Android Lint to check for problems it keeps saying that some translations are missing.. I do not want to disable this check on the whole project, I'd like to disable it only in some XML files.. is it possible? "title_widget_updater_service" is not translated in de, en, en-rUS, it Issue: Checks

Are there conventions how to name resources in Android? For example, buttons, textViews, menus, etc. Ian I don't know whether there are any official recommendations. For ids in my layouts with widgets and containers, I use the convention: <layout>_<widget/container>_<name> I do the same strategy for any dimens, strings, numbers, and colors I use in those layouts. However, I do try generalizing. e.g if all buttons have a common textColor, I won't prefix the name with the layout. The resource name would be 'button_textColor'. If all textColors are using the same the resource it will be named

I've found the R.string pretty awesome for keeping hardcoded strings out of my code, and I'd like to keep using it in a utility class that works with models in my application to generate output. For instance, in this case I am generating an email from a model outside of the activity. Is it possible to use getString outside a Context or Activity ? I suppose I could pass in the current activity, but it seems unnecessary. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Edit: Can we access the resources without using Context ? Gangnus Yes, we can access resources without using `Context` You can use: Resources
