[android-developers] Re: Setting/Passing values

I looked at the URL's that you provided and tried some coding with it,
but I am failing to understand
the proper coding methods.

In the main, I have the options menu as:

// options menu

// Called only the first time the options menu is displayed.
// Create the menu entries.
// Menu adds items in the order shown.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Setup")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_preferences);
menu.add("About")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);
return(super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
//return true;
}

// handle menu selected
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){

if (item.getTitle().equals("Setup")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.tccalculator.setup.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_SETUP);
return true;
}

if (item.getTitle().equals("About")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.tccalculator.about.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_ABOUT);
return true;
}
return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
//return false;
}

I believe that I need this to read the preferences still in the main
and set a textview as such:

public void onResume() {
super.onResume();

SharedPreferences prefs=PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
tv.setText(prefs.getString("tview1", ""));

The preference name for this textview is called "tview1". According
to the example, it looks like you have
to give it a value. I just want to read that preference, and take the
value it has, and place it in the TextView01 text
but according to the example, you have to give it a value.

In the setup, I created this:
@Override
protected void onStop(){
super.onStop();

// We need an Editor object to make preference changes.
// All objects are from android.context.Context
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME,
0);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();

editor.putString("tview1","this is a test");

// Commit the edits!
editor.commit();
}

The PREFS_NAME was declared at the top:
public static final String PREFS_NAME = "calcsettings";

If I am following this, the "editor" creates the name/value pair
("tview1" = "this is a test") then writes it to the preferences
by calling the editor.commit();

What am I doing wrong? As I am testing, I am attempting to creating/
retrievie
one preference (name/value).

Thanks again for all your help.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with reading contacts on Samsung Galaxy Europa

actually it does show me a list (calling ACTION_VIEW or ACTION_PICK)
using ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. but we wanted to call the
samsung's native contacts activity which is named something like
PhoneBookTopMenuActivity. Also i noticed that instead of the two
actions i;ve mentions they are using this activity with filters
action=main; category=launcher which is odd right?
