android-3.0-honeycomb

I am developing app with minSdkVersion="11", that is app for tablets and Android 4.0 and newer. I have scrutinized internet on this topic, but have not found much. To implement custom layout for previous versions of Android SDK we just have to create layout (say preference.xml) with ListView and its id equals to android.R.id.list and use setContentView method. preference.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" >

My app is currently using the Fragments/v4 compatibility package to support Android versions all the way down to 1.6. This means all my Fragments inherit from the compatibility package's version of Fragment . I'm currently trying to rework parts of the app to take advantage of Honeycomb features, like ActionBar . I already use my own action-bar-like implementation on pre-3.0 devices, and the Honeycomb Action Bar otherwise. This bit isn't an issue. The problem I have is trying to implement tabs using the ActionBar. ActionBar.TabListener expects the native Fragment and FragmentTransaction

So I've created a DialogFragment that is shown as a dialog via this technique Now that it's launched and upon a user interaction within this popup I want to slide in another fragment to this dialog. I'm trying to do this via FragmentTransaction.add() where I give it the id of one of the containers in this layout. At this point I get: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No view found for id 0x7f09013f for fragment <fragmentClassThatIWasPushingIn> As a quick test, I tried to push it onto a container id not in the dialog but within the main backing activity and that worked just fine. Is there

I've got a Galaxy Nexus myself, and I know that the android:largeHeap="true" manifest option works on this phone, but I was wondering if it's working on older phones that are being upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, i.e. the Samsung Nexus S. The reason why I'm asking is that I've built an application that makes heavy use of large bitmaps and the application was originally designed for tablets with 48 MB of heap size. The Galaxy Nexus also features 48 MB of available heap size for each application, so my application is working beautifully on this phone despite it not being a tablet. The problem is

When loading data into my Fragments I would would like to have an indeterminate spinner in the middle of the fragment (example in pic below) to show the user that content is loading within that particular pane. What's the best way to do this in Honeycomb? I don't really want to use a spinner in the action bar, it's not immediately obvious where data is loading. Also, I don't want an indeterminate progress dialog because it appears in the center of the entire app and also stops the user from doing anything else until it is dismissed. N.B. FragmentDialogs seem to do this also. Am I going to have

I'm trying to set the index of the item that needs to be selected in the spinner by default, but it always defaults to 0 (1st item) actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false); actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST); SpinnerAdapter spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(activity, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, names); int selectedIndex = actionBar.getSelectedNavigationIndex(); if (selectedIndex != targetIndex) { actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(targetIndex); } Above if block is called always. Even after setting index 2, next time I check it returns 0.
