Sideways View with XML Android

There is, but it’s new in API 11 (Android 3.0): <TextView android:id=”@+id/rotated” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:rotation=”270″ android:textSize=”32sp” android:textColor=”#44CC44″ android:text=”@string/rotated” /> I tried this in 2.2, 2.3.1, and 2.3.3, and “android:rotation” wasn’t legal.

Conceivably, the title also routes this way, though they don’t mention it and I wouldn’t rely upon it. It sounds like you want a Spinner for the user to choose the actions to execute. If so, use setListNavigationCallbacks(). … Read more

Changing font size into an AlertDialog

The text will scroll nicely as it already does. The view’s id is android.R.id.message AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setMessage(“Hello world”).show(); TextView textView = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(android.R.id.message); … Read more
