consider that you are responding to a menu item


public class SomeActivity
extends Activity
{
//..other code

//a menu function
void respondToMenu1()
{
    //Say that I am going to do something a bit long
    //Show a progress dialog 
    ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(.....);
    pd.show();
    
    //do something that takes a few seconds
    doSomething();
    
    //Close the dialog to indicate we are done
    pd.dismiss();
}

//..other code
} //end of class

What is wrong with this code? How can you correct it? Are there multiple approaches? which is a preferred approach?

If you have looked at Scatch it is pretty cool. Looks like a similar idea with some common ancestry is being applied for android development. Checkout App Inventor

Small and numerous,
Ride on those victories.

Restore heart,
borrow sail,
Small and numerous,  
Ride on those victories,
To lay the path ahead.

See not,
Despair and defeat.
Set aside,
Waylaid those be.

Small and numerous,
Recognize, Recall,
Ride on those victories.

An approach and source code for Android Widget Models

More documents like this are at: Android Widgets

26-Apr-11

As you start working with widgets, you will quickly realize that they are stateless. Every call back to paint the widget is invoked and the process dismantled (unless you take reasonable steps to keep this process alive, if that were to be needed). There is no explicit or direct mechanism to ask the widget: "Hey, what did I paint you with the last time around?". This is essentially a valid question if the widget were to have a state. Such a state is typically (indirectly) maintained using a persistence mechansim such as files, shared preferences, SQLLite, or the internet itself.

This item has some example **drafty** source code to illustrate this.
