In the Google+ App, the position of the right corner arrow of the ActionBar Spinner adapts to the length of the current string showing. For example, the Spinner's length seems shorter when Family is picked versus when Acquaintances is picked. What do I have to do to get the right corner arrow to position dynamically based on the title's length? My guess is that there's an attribute I can set in styles.xml that will do that for me. Here's my styles.xml: <style name="MyStyle" parent="android:style/Theme.Holo"> <item name="android:actionDropDownStyle">@style/MyDropDownNav</item> </style> <style

I am trying to create a zoomable container and I am targeting API 14+ In my onScale (i am using the ScaleGestureDetector to detect pinch-zoom) I am doing something like this: public boolean onScale (ScaleGestureDetector detector) { float scaleFactor = detector.getScaleFactor(); setScaleX(getScaleX() * scaleFactor); setScaleY(getScaleY() * scaleFactor); return true; }; It works but the zoom is not smooth. In fact it noticeably flickers. I also tried it with hardware layer thinking that the scaling would happen on the GPU once the texture was uploaded and thus would be super fast. But it made no

My abstract class extended from Activity class consists of three View s as described in the following XML snippet: <?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" android:background="@drawable/bg"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/top_border"> ... </LinearLayout> <View android:id="@+id/activity_content" ... /> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/bottom_border"> ... </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> And in onCreate() method I set this XML

This question already has answers here : About Android image and asset sizes (4 answers) I know there are guidelines for creating icons for specific areas in Android (Tab, List, etc.) and how you would size them according to ldpi, mdpi, hdpi etc. Are there any rules on how to scale other in-app icons? I've got a 'tiny' icon of 10x10 px which I am using on my mdpi dev phone, what would be the scaling rules to create ldpi, hdpi & xhdpi versions of that icon? Thanks Dave DeeV The ratios are .75|1|1.33|1.5|2.|3.|4. (or 3:4:6:8:12:16) That is, for your 10x10px bitmap, the graphics would be ldpi -
