[Q] Writing in an XML File Problem

Hey Guys!
I'm sitting in front of an XML-Problem for five days now and really don't know what's to do. Expect of asking you.
I want to write a small shopping list application that manages the data in an XML-File looking like that:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Items>
<Item>
<Name>Bananas</Name>
<Store>supermarket</Store>
<Repeat>true</Repeat>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>LG E900 Optimus 7</Name>
<Store>superhandy</Store>
<Repeat>false</Repeat>
</Item>
(...)
I have a ListBox called ItemShowcase that I fill with instances of my ShowCaseEntry-Class
Reading Data from the FIle works perfectly with this code:
Code:
private void updateItemList()
{
// load XML-File
var items = XElement.Load("MissingItems.xml");
foreach (var a in items.Elements())
{
ShowCaseEntry sce = new ShowCaseEntry(a.Element("Name").Value, "Store: " + a.Element("Store").Value, false);
ItemShowcase.Items.Add(sce);
}
}
No Problem until here.
But now I want to add a new Iem to my XML-File.
I have 2 Textfields in what I ask for the Item-Name and Store-Name. Repeat is always true.
I tried that:
Code:
public void addXMLItem(String name, String store, Boolean repeat)
{
// XML-Datei Laden
var items = XDocument.Load("MissingItems.xml");
// neues Item erstellen
XElement newItem = new XElement("Item",
new XElement("Name", name),
new XElement("Store", store),
new XElement("Repeat", repeat) );
// Hinzufügen und spreichern
items.Root.Add(newItem);
FileStream F = new FileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Open);
items.Save(F);
}
The last line give me the following Error:
Attempt to access the method failed: System.IO.FileStream..ctor(System.String, System.IO.FileMode)
Is anyone here who would help me?
You would save my weekend!
Thank you so much!
Best wishes and greets
Robby

Try something like this:
Code:
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, isoStore);
//Add your xml items here.
xml.Save(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();

First of all thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I don't really know how to add the XML-Items.
Like this?
Code:
public void addXMLItem(String name, String store, Boolean repeat)
{
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, isoStore);
//Add your xml items here.
var items = XDocument.Load("MissingItems.xml");
XElement newItem = new XElement("Item",
new XElement("Name", name),
new XElement("Store", store),
new XElement("Repeat", repeat));
items.Root.Add(newItem);
items.Save(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();
}
Another answer would be very nice
Best regards
Robby

I don't have time to test it but hopefully this works for you.
Code:
public void addXMLItem(String name, String store, Boolean repeat)
{
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, isoStore);
//Add your xml items here.
XDocument items = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
items.Element("Items").Add(
new XElement("Item",
new XElement("Name", name),
new XElement("Store", store),
new XElement("Repeat", repeat)));
items.Save(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();
}

Thank you really much for your engangement, but there is still one problem.
In this line the program throws an XML-Error called "root element is missing":
XDocument items = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
How to explain the Load-Method that "Items" is my root Element?

Robby

Sorry my code had errors. This is tested and working.
Code:
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, isoStore);
XDocument items = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();
items.Element("Items").Add(
new XElement("Item",
new XElement("Name", name),
new XElement("Store", store),
new XElement("Repeat", repeat.ToString())));
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, isoStore);
items.Save(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();
That code results in this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Items>
<Item>
<Name>Bananas</Name>
<Store>supermarket</Store>
<Repeat>true</Repeat>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>LG E900 Optimus 7</Name>
<Store>superhandy</Store>
<Repeat>false</Repeat>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>Test Name</Name>
<Store>Test Store</Store>
<Repeat>False</Repeat>
</Item>
</Items>

I really, really thank you for your anxiety. Thank you for your time, but I just have one more error.
This line throwes an Isolated Storage Exception called "Operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream.":
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, isoStore);
You would save my week with a short answer!
Thank you so much till yet
Robby

It sounds like the file stream is already open somewhere else. If you are doing any other reads or writes to the file prior to your addxmlitem method you need to close the stream before calling addxmlitem.

Not really
Sorry, I am sure that I'm annoying but I really need to fix that problem.
My last try to solve ist is to send you the full code:
Code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Xml;
using System.Text;

using System.IO.IsolatedStorage;
namespace MyShoppingList
{
public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Item[] itemArray = new Item[2];
CheckBox[] checkBoxArray = new CheckBox[2];
// Set the data context of the listbox control to the sample data
DataContext = App.ViewModel;

public void addXMLItem(String name, String store, Boolean repeat)
{
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, isoStore);
XDocument items = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();

new XElement("Store", store),
new XElement("Repeat", repeat.ToString())));
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, isoStore);
items.Save(isoStream);
isoStream.Close();
}
/// <summary>

foreach (var a in items.Elements())

ItemShowcase.Items.Add(sce);
}
}
private void PhoneApplicationPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}
private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
addXMLItem(tBoxAddItemName.Text, tBoxAddItemStore.Text, false);
//updateItemList();
}
}
}
Can you find any mistakes?
I'm getting desperate...
Thanks a lot for your engagement!

I'n not really sure why that's happening. The only thing I can think of is XElement.Load() is causing the problem so here's how to use XDocument.Load() instead. I really hope this works for you because I'm out of ideas.
Code:
private void updateItemList()
{
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream;
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, isoStore);
XDocument xml = XDocument.Load(isoStream);
var items = from c in xml.Elements("Items").Elements("Item")
select new {
name = c.Element("Name").Value,
store = c.Element("Store").Value,
repeat = c.Element("Repeat").Value
};
foreach (var item in items)
{
ShowCaseEntry sce = new ShowCaseEntry(item.name, "Store: " + item.store, false);
ItemShowcase.Items.Add(sce);
}
isoStream.Close();
}

Same Error on this line:
isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("MissingItems.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, isoStore);
Operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream.
I'm at the end of my motivation
I really tried everything, you really tried everything and I cannot find anything helpful to this error message..
Does anyone has an idea?
Does this line works for you?
Big Thanks to Ren13B till yet!

Attached is my working test project. Maybe it will help you.

If you are accessing the Isolated Storage from within a referenced assembly, you will need to access the IsolatedStorageFile for that assembly

Thanks for your reply but how to do that?

ListBox.ItemTemplate error

hey guys I am getting an error when I am trying to put a twitter feed in my blog app. The error says
“The attachable property ‘ItemTemplate’ was not found in type ‘ListBox’.”
what does this mean. Here is the code that I put in my listbox on the Xaml.
Code:
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="132">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Height="73" Width="73" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,8,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="370">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" Foreground="#FF2276BB" FontSize="28" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
<HyperlinkButton Content="{Binding TweetSource}" Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontSize="18" Foreground="#FF999999" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
any help would be appreciated.

Posted XAML code is OK so I can only guess. Probably you've referenced a wrong assembly in your project. Post whole project.

http://blog.objectgraph.com/index.php/2010/03/26/how-to-create-a-twitter-client-on-windows-phone-7/
I am using that site as a guide and putting it in the Wordpress Starter Kit I added a panarama item called Twitter, added a list box and a button and a TextBlock (the text block says OmegaRa) and the buttons says refresh. I am at work currently, so I can't post the rest of my code...
edit: if it matters I named the listbox Twitterfeed, I know I had to alter a couple spots with that to get rid of errors. Plus the original code is for 7.0, in VS2010, I right clicked on the Solution and clicked Upgrade to 7.1...

Seems like this toolkit has a different assemblies for 7.0 and 7.1 (located at sl3-wp & sl4-windowsphone71 folders), check your project references for correct library (7.1).

okay, I am a complete newb when it comes to coding (hence the starter kit and tutorial) how would I go about doing that?

Solution Explorer (on your right) -> References -> click on assembly and check properties. Press Del to remove assembly. Right click and press "Add assembly" from the context menu.
P.S. But before start coding I'm strongly recommend you to RTFM (Read The Following Manual, not the "fu%?ng" one ). Download/buy and read a good manual for Visual Studio and .NET first...

That would probably be a good idea LOL. I just like figuring it out sometimes though, but it would probably go faster if I read something about it first lol.
edit: I will try looking at that when I get home from work and after my daughters birthday dinner lol

Okay, I am home and looking at the references, which assembly would it be?

progress, fixed that part forgot the
Code:
<listbox></listbox>
surrounding it, but when I hit refresh...is doen't get my feed, lol it says something about wordpress starter kit + tweet or something lol.
here is the code for the button
Code:
private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
WebClient twitter = new WebClient();
twitter.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(twitter_DownloadStringCompleted);
twitter.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=" + tbUsername.Text));
}
void twitter_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
XElement element = XElement.Parse(e.Result);
TwitterFeed.ItemsSource = from tweet in element.Descendants("status")
select new Tweet
{
UserName = tweet.Element("user").Element("screen_name").Value,
Message = tweet.Element("text").Value,
ImageSource = tweet.Element("user").Element("profile_image_url").Value,
TweetSource = FormatTimestamp(tweet.Element("source").Value, tweet.Element("created_at").Value)
};
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
public class Tweet
{
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Message { get; set; }
public string ImageSource { get; set; }
public string TweetSource { get; set; }
}
private string StripHtml(string val)
{
return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(val), @"<[^>]*>", "");
}
private string DateFormat(string val)
{
string format = "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzz yyyy";
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(val, format, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
return dt.ToString("h:mm tt MMM d");
}
private string FormatTimestamp(string imageSource, string date)
{
return DateFormat(date) + " via " + StripHtml(imageSource);
}
}
}
what the screen says when I hit refresh is WordpressStarterKit.Mainpage+Tweet, and I notice that the button and the Text Block stay on the screen no matter if I pan or not....

PM me your project in archive, I'll correct your errors and send back.

If I change
Code:
twitter.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=" + tbUsername.Text));
to
Code:
twitter.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri"http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=OmegaRa" );
would that fix it? I am just curious to see if I am right..

All issues solved, mod can close thread if they want.

HTML 5 Video on Android 4.2.2 device (Geniatech ATV1220)

Hello I am trying to build a simple webview.
But I can't get the video to work. It is working when I am using an emulated device with 4.2.2 running but on the actual device (Geniatech ATV1220) I just get a grey videobox and I can't play video at all. It is loading for a second but then it stops.
Here is my Main activity:
Code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public static final String PAGE_URL = "video js website"; //is correct in code - just can't post links
final Activity activity = this;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webview.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){});
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress){
activity.setTitle("Loading...");
if(progress == 100){
activity.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
}
}
});
webview.loadUrl(PAGE_URL);
}
}
My Manifest where I enable hardware acceleration:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" //+http , just cant post links
package="com.example.androidwebview"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="17"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.androidwebview.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
On my virtual device it is running alright. I am using a 4.2.2 device for that too.
But if I install the apk on the box it just opens the website and i see a gray video frame with a play button, that doesn't work. Also the controls are shown and if i fast forward a bit there is this circle loading thing but it doesn't load anything.
Can anyone help me get video to run on this device in my webview?

[Guide] Make your own watch faces [23-1-2015]

Hello everyone, I've made a simplified tutorial to make your own watchface widget.
In this update I made simpler source code that simplified some steps.
Thanks to xda for posting it in xda Portal
Requirements:
-Eclipse
-Android SDK
-Sony Add-on SDK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
1-Download the samples.
2-Extract the zip.
3-Copy the both extracted folders to: "android-sdks\add-ons\addon-sony_add-on_sdk_3_0-sony-19\samples\SmartExtensions".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4-Open Eclipse and press Ctrl+N, open "Android" and choose "Android Sample Project".
5-Choose "Sony Add-on SDK 3.0".
6-Choose "SmartExtensions > SmartExtensionAPI" and press Finish.
7-Repeat step 4 to 5, choose "SmartExtensions > SmartExtensionUtils" and press Finish.
8-Repeat step 4 to 5, choose "SmartExtensions > ClockWidgetAnalog" if you wanna make an analog clock. or "SmartExtensions > ClockWidgetDigitalList" if you need to make a digital clock. For example, I'll choose the analog clock.
9-Press Finish
10-Now your workspace should looks like this:
11-To rename the project right click on it like this image:
12-Give it any name you want
13-To rename application package right click like this image:
14-Go to: res/values/strings.xml
15-Change these strings and press Ctrl+S to save it.
-You can keep the 'more apps" link if you want. It go to the watch faces collection thread.
-It's optional to add your email, and here's how to remove "Contact me" button:
-Go to res/layout/activity_preference.xml and find this:
Code:
<Button
android:id="@+id/emailBtn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="[COLOR="Red"]visible[/COLOR]"
android:text="@string/email_btn"/>
-Then change the text marked with red above to "gone". So it will be like this:
Code:
<Button
android:id="@+id/emailBtn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="[COLOR="Red"]gone[/COLOR]"
android:text="@string/email_btn"/>
16-Change the graphical resources change files in res/drawable-nodpi
17-Connect you device to the pc
18-Enable USB debugging on your phone
19-Right click on the project > Run As > Android application
20-If you want to share the apk you'll find it in the project bin
21-Enjoy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
How To Resize:
1-Go to "AnalogClock.java" or "DigitalClockLevelList.java in src/-package name-.widgets
2-Edit the marked in red below:
Code:
@Override
public int getWidth() {
return getCellWidth() * [COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getHeight() {
return getCellHeight() * [COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR];
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
How To Add Date:
1-Create new xml file in "res/layout" and give it any name you want
2-Add this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="1" >
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout[/COLOR]
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="[COLOR="DarkOrange"]@android:color/white[/COLOR]"
widgets:textSize="[COLOR="Lime"]25[/COLOR]px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month[/COLOR]" />
</com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
3-You can change the text marked in red above to:
-"days_of_week"
-"days_of_month"
-"days_of_year"
-"months"
4-You can change the number marked in green above to any number you want, to set the font size. Please notice that the unit must be "px" and do not use "dp".
5-You can change on the text marked in orange "white" to "black", or you can remove all the text in orange and put any hex color code. For example:
android:textColor="#ffbf00"
6-To change the position of it, add under "<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout" which is marked in blue above:
-android:layout_centerInParent="true" to put it in the center.
-android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" to put it center in horizontal.
-android:layout_centerVertical="true" to put it center in vertical.
-android:layout_alignParentRight="true" to move it to right side.
-android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" to move it to left side.
-android:layout_alignParentTop="true" to move it to to the top.
-android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to move it to the buttom.
-android:layout_marginRight="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginLeft="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginTop="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginBotton="10px" change "10" to any number.
7-At last, we must include the date xml on the main watch layout xml which is called on my samples "clock_widget_analog.xml" on analog and "clock_widget_levellists.xml" on the digital clock. For example, if you named the xml you made "date.xml" we will add the text marked in red below:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sonymobile.smartconnect.extension.testclock"
android:layout_width="215px"
android:layout_height="170px"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:baselineAligned="false" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/watchface_bg" />
[COLOR="Red"]<include layout="@layout/date" />[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_hours_border" />
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_minutes_border" />
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds" />
</RelativeLayout>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
How To Reorder:
1-Open the main layout xml, -"clock_widget_analog.xml" on analog and "clock_widget_levellists.xml" on the digital clock-. For example, I'll work on analog.
2-You can remove text that start with "<!--" and end with "-->" like the marked in red . it's just notes from sony.This will make it easier:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sonymobile.smartconnect.extension.testclock"
android:layout_width="215px"
android:layout_height="170px"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:baselineAligned="false" >
<!-- We set a background on containing the base for a watch face. -->
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/watchface_bg" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the hour hand. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_hours_border" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the minute hand. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_minutes_border" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the second hand. Note: Seconds will not be shown when the backlight is off
on the SmartWatch 2. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds" />
</RelativeLayout>
3-Now you can reorder lines that start with "<include layout="
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Multiple WatchFace In One App:
-First example is to add digital clock to analog:
1-Copy xml and png files in res/layout and res/drawable-nodpi from digital to analog
2-Copy "DigitalClockLevelList.java" on src/-package name-.widgets from digital to analog
3-Open "ClockWidgetRegistrationInformation" in src/-package name-/ and search for: WidgetClassList widgetList = new WidgetClassList();
4-Add this under WidgetClassList widgetList = new WidgetClassList();:
widgetList.add(DigitalClockLevelList.class);
The text marked in red is same file name you've copied in step 2
5-Now Eclipse will underline it in red as error, it will give you a list of fixes, choose first fix
-Second example if you want to make 2 or more analog watchfaces:
1-Go to res/layout and duplicate all except "activity_preferences.xml", you can rename the duplicated xmls for example by adding "2"
2-Duplicate "AnalogClock.java" in src/-package name-.widgets
3-Add graphical resources on res/drawable-nodpi/ and give it the same names but with "_2"
4-Add the following lines to res/values/strings.xml:
Code:
<string name="name_1">Analog 1</string>
<string name="name_2">Analog 2</string>

If you made a watch, post it here and I'll add it to the collection​

Hello,
Thank you very much for your Tutorial. I got my own analog clock.
But is there any way to have a background for Digital Clock?

my watch faces

Hi,
Is it still possible to create new watch faces for the SW2 these days? The main obstacle to start seems to be the inability to download the Sony Add-on SDK. I have only been able to find version 1.0 so far with much searching. Does anyone know where the version 3 file can be downloaded?
Thanks,

Development Guide for Integrating Share Kit on Huawei Phones

View attachment 5209541
What is Share Engine
As a cross-device file transfer solution, Huawei Share uses Bluetooth to discover nearby devices and authenticate connections, then sets up peer-to-peer Wi-Fi channels, so as to allow file transfers between phones, PCs, and other devices. It delivers stable file transfer speeds that can exceed 80 Mbps if the third-party device and environment allow. Developers can use Huawei Share features using Share Engine.
The Huawei Share capabilities are sealed deep in the package, then presented in the form of a simplified engine for developers to integrate with apps and smart devices. By integrating these capabilities, PCs, printers, cameras, and other devices can easily share files with each other.
Three SDK development packages are offered to allow quick integration for Android, Linux, and Windows based apps and devices.
Working Principles
Huawei Share uses Bluetooth to discover nearby devices and authenticate connections, then sets up peer-to-peer Wi-Fi channels, so as to allow file transfers between phones, PCs, and other devices.
View attachment 5209543
To ensure user experience, Huawei Share uses reliable core technologies in each phase of file transfer.
Devices are detected using in-house bidirectional device discovery technology, without sacrificing the battery or security
Connection authentication using in-house developed password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) technology
File transfer using high-speed point-to-point transmission technologies, including Huawei-developed channel capability negotiation and actual channel adjustment
For more information you can follow this link.
Let’s get into codding.
Requirements
For development, we need Android Studio V3.0.1 or later.
EMUI 10.0 or later and API level 26 or later needed for Huawei phone.
Development
1 - First we need to add this permission to AndroidManifest.xml. So that we can ask user for our app to access files.
XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
2 - After let’s shape activity_main.xml as bellow. Thus we have one EditText for getting input and three Button in UI for using Share Engine’s features.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/inputEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
android:hint="@string/hint"
tools:ignore="Autofill,TextFields" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/sendTextButton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:onClick="sendText"
android:text="@string/btn1"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/sendFileButton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:onClick="sendFile"
android:text="@string/btn2"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/sendFilesButton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:onClick="sendMultipleFiles"
android:text="@string/btn3"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
</LinearLayout>
3 - By adding the following to strings.xml, we create button and alert texts.
XML:
<string name="btn1">Send text</string>
<string name="btn2">Send single file</string>
<string name="btn3">Send multiple files</string>
<string name="hint">Write something to send</string>
<string name="errorToast">Please write something before sending!</string>
4 - Later, let’s shape the MainActivity.java class. First of all, to provide access to files on the phone, we need to request permission from the user using the onResume method.
Java:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
checkPermission();
}
private void checkPermission() {
if (checkSelfPermission(READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
String[] permissions = {READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
requestPermissions(permissions, 0);
}
}
5 - Let’s initialize these parameters for later uses and call this function in onCreate method.
Java:
EditText input;
PackageManager manager;
private void initApp(){
input = findViewById(R.id.inputEditText);
manager = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
}
6 - We’re going to create Intent with the same structure over and over again, so let’s simply create a function and get rid of the repeated codes.
Java:
private Intent createNewIntent(String action){
Intent intent = new Intent(action);
intent.setType("*");
intent.setPackage("com.huawei.android.instantshare");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
return intent;
}
We don’t need an SDK to transfer files between Huawei phones using the Share Engine, instead we can easily transfer files by naming the package “com.huawei.android.instantshare” to Intent as you see above.
7 - Let’s create the onClick method of sendTextButton to send text with Share Engine.
Java:
public void sendText(View v) {
String myInput = input.getText().toString();
if (myInput.equals("")){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), R.string.errorToast, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
Intent intent = CreateNewIntent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
List<ResolveInfo> info = manager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
if (info.size() == 0) {
Log.d("Share", "share via intent not supported");
} else {
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, myInput);
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
}
}
8 - Let’s edit the onActivityResult method to get the file/s we choose from the file manager to send it with the Share Engine.
Java:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) {
ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<>();
Uri uri;
if (data.getClipData() != null) {
// Multiple files picked
for (int i = 0; i < data.getClipData().getItemCount(); i++) {
uri = data.getClipData().getItemAt(i).getUri();
uris.add(uri);
}
} else {
// Single file picked
uri = data.getData();
uris.add(uri);
}
handleSendFile(uris);
}
}
With handleSendFile method we can perform single or multiple file sending.
Java:
private void handleSendFile(ArrayList<Uri> uris) {
if (uris.isEmpty()) {
return;
}
Intent intent;
if (uris.size() == 1) {
// Sharing a file
intent = CreateNewIntent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris.get(0));
} else {
// Sharing multiple files
intent = CreateNewIntent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
}
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
List<ResolveInfo> info = manager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
if (info.size() == 0) {
Log.d("Share", "share via intent not supported");
} else {
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
}
}
9 - Finally, let’s edit the onClick methods of file sending buttons.
Java:
public void sendFile(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(i, 10);
}
public void sendMultipleFiles(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivityForResult(i, 10);
}
We’ve prepared all the structures we need to create, so let’s see the output.
