I have a SWT Button, it does not contains text, just an image. I searched for methods, but I can't find a way to press it.
If you know the index -0-based order of the button in all the available buttons in this context- of the button, you can try bot.button(index). But as UI can change that, I strongly recommend the solution proposed by #alt3.
Instantiate the button with an id:
yourButton.setData("org.eclipse.swtbot.widget.key", "yourButtonId");
Then, call the following method through the bot:
bot.buttonWithId("yourButtonId").click();

Before I begin, I want to mention that I've found a million answers showing how to do this from code, which involves setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) from your Activity. However, what I have not been able to find is a way how to do it from XML. (I would like to hide as much UI code in the XML files as possible).
One article I did find is this, which states
Step 3: Specifying the parent activity name in the AndroidManifest.xml adds the Back-Button arrow
and Click-action. Tapping on the back-arrow takes us to the Parent
Activity i.e Home Screen.
which doesn't work for me (the Back Button doesn't appear). I've followed all the steps in the article.
Does anyone know how to do this via xml? Is it even possible?
Yes, it's possible but still, you have to set the listener in java code. You can create a custom toolbar view and add a button to it. Then create a button in the java file and set the CilckListener.
Or You can use the default toolbar and do setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) from your Activity.
We usually make a custom toolbar, suppose you need a search bar in the toolbar then what you will do? So try to make an xml then use <include> tag in xml. You can search youtube. Follow the channel CodingInFlow, that guy explains very perfectly. If you don't understand what I am saying then understand the basics first, it will help you learn faster.
I am trying to develop a quiz application using LWUIT resource editor and am having great difficulty.
I have created two Forms 'GUI1' and 'GUI2' .
GUI1 displays the following:
A question(in the form of a TextField)
5 RadioButtons belonging to the same group
A Button which says 'OK'
GUI2 displays the following:
A TextField
A Button to go back to GUI1
Now the problem is:
Initially GUI1 is displayed. When the user chooses a RadioButton , I wish to know which RadioButton was selected. If that RadioButton was indeed the correct answer, then when the user clicks on the 'OK' Button on GUI1, I wish to display the text 'correct' in the TextField on GUI2 and then display the GUI2.
If the user chose the wrong answer, then I wish to display the text "Wrong" in the TextField on GUI2 and then display the GUI2.
How can this be done with resource editor? I am very foxed. Please help.
I wish to refer to the TextField on GUI2 when I am currently on GUI1. How can this be done with resource editor? Writing a manual code for all this would be very time consuming.
Ok I will try to explain the best I can.
When you design the first Form GUI1 the five RadioButtons must be in the same group. I don't know how to do that in the resource editor (I think there is a field called ButtonGroup in the RadioButton, but I can't remeber). What I would do is take the five RadioButton by code in the before method of GUI1 and add them to a ButtonGroup element.
With ButtonGroup you can know which element is selected using ButtonGroup.setSelectedIndex(). When you press the Button take this value and act as appropriate to the situation.
If you don't understand anything please tell me and I will try to help you.
Is not a hard thing to do. There must be a way to do it with the Resoruce editor but at the moment I don´t know how.
As Shai mentioned, the best thing to do is to use listeners to set the "state" of the buttons on clicking them and when you move to the next form you just retrieve the state of the previous text field.
Manual code may actually be faster for you, do most of the UI in the resource editor and transfer to a form that is written manually. That way you have full control over your objects and transfer back into the GUI builder form when needed.
I am trying to make a combobox in ios following this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/iPhone/iphonecombobox.aspx.
But the click event (that shows the picker) seems to work sometimes and sometimes not. It looks like sometimes it just works in some regions of the control and not others.
Any idea of what is wrong?
It's kind of hacky, but you can add a hidden UIControl around the region of the ComboBox and then wire it up to the same IBAction or void that the existing ComboBox uses. For example, -(IBAction) showPicker could be the action of a new UIControl that you add right around the region.
For some reason, the answer was using the textfield and image directly to the page instead of creating a view for the control and using that view N times.
I created a combobox api for iOS, hope this could be of any help: http://www.chupamobile.com/products/details/365/ZComboBox/
Is there any lightweight implementation of text with links (highlighted text associated with a uri which a user can click on) on ios? Webview would be too complicated. And I don't want to be using three20 either.
You can implement text with link in following way:
1) Just display the text in label.
2) And take one button on label, set it's property as "Custom Button". So that, text will be displayed.
3) Implement click event of button. And open the url which you want to open.
Hope it will be helpful to you.
Let me know in case of any difficulty.
I have a menu drop down action in the coolbar. It has 3 sub items that form a radio group. I would like to change the icon shown in the coolbar when the user selects one of these options.
I've googled and seen that I should look at:
org.eclipse.ui.commands.ICommandService.refreshElements(String, Map)
and
org.eclipse.ui.commands.IElementUpdater
Its probably the right thing to look at exception its not enough information. One or two small code snippets will be excellent.
Thanks in advance.
Ok basically if you don't want to use a "custom" control the what to do it is to have your handler (handler that is linked to the specific command) implement IElementUpdater. When every the toolbar item gets shown or clicked on (i.e if the user selects on the the radio buttons) the method: updateElement(UIElement element, Map parameters) gets called.
The element has a setIcon() method and this is what i used to change the icon of the menu drop down action.
Every update to the Coolbar points to the specialization of the WorkbenchWindowControlContribution class.
This bug 186800 has some code example in it which can be of interest.
