onClick

Me and a friend are making an app right now and came up to the part to where we want to make it change color or change the lighting on a button when you click on it and the only thing that we can find that there is to work with is the onClick command, and i'm being told that we would have to call upon that and then have it show the new pic and that start whatever command the button originally has to begin with a millisecond later. I thought that there was a way to make it show the new pic when holding the button down and then when released it would then do what the button is suppose to do. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Oh and when making the buttons i'm making premade png buttons.

So is it not possible to do the shading when you click on the button if you're using image buttons?

Possible to resume from standby with a long press?

I'd like to hold down any front button instead of sliding my phone or pressing the power button to resume from standby. Is this possible?
Thank you.

Many ways.
1. Copy this poweroff.exe (found in this thread)to your device and paste a shortcut somewhere inside \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder, then you can map it in a hardware button by going to \Start\Settings\Personal\Button\.
2. HButton is another highly recommended tool, bcz it can map unlimited number of apps on any remapable button.
3. QuickMenu may also provide some useful tools/shortcuts.
4. Important is to know how to make good use of shortcuts.
5. Check this thread to know how to do long-send, long-end, long-ptt, etc. with shortcuts.
6. If poweroff.exe can not resune, maybe can use a shrtcut of mortscript command.
Edit: I misunderstood your question. I think there is a settings somewhere to allow 'when device is off, allow any key to resume.'
If can nott find in settings, do this registry tweak:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DefaultKeyLock"=dword:00000000
Otherwise search for KeyLock.cab
But it's not long press to resume, just press any key to resume.

Oh wow, I didn't think anyone would reply to my thread. Thanks for the great tips!

The useless "Search" soft key.

Any apps to make it open something else?
Thanks.

there are plenty
quicksettings
quickdesk
handcent sms
are a few off the top of my head
i used to have a bunch more, but i have since uninstalled after trying nearly all the apps i want to try
(these will allow you to launch them by long press. i dont know if you can replace the short press)

Pretty sure short press is not easily changed. With froyo though longpress opens Google voice commands.

Nice.
Thank you.

id be interested in a kernel or rom that would allow this to be changed. long press on menu opens search so why a seperate key that can be usefull as something else? can any of those apps change the short press? ive only seen long press on search and on home.

I use visual task switcher and assigned the long press of the search key to bring up a list of currently running apps. Pretty handy.

I installed "screen lock" and assigned it to screen lock to take some stress off the power button.

I don't remember where, but I found a post somewhere on how to change it, short press on mine opens camera.

Button Shortcut in the market.

wow, this is an old thread, for those interested dragon remaps the key as camera launch.
can be done in button remapper. also touch jestures can be mapped as keys in galay tuner.
for people who want to get custom and dont see the otions they want in button remapper, i think the key table is in /system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl
this is good for fixing i9000 roms (partially) when no kernel is available for those who want to try samsung gingerbread

I like the long press for google voice search. Thanks for the idea.

If you end up flashing a ROM, CM7 has a way to change the search key in the settings menu

I took a look at the system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl file but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Anyone know how to get more info on it? Would love to map QuickDesk to it

OK.. I have the issue, seems quite random with the Search button. Am wondering if it is related to moisture from my palm (right-handed)... not sure. Will have to try the rice trick.
Have also taken a look at the remapping option, but don't seem to have write permissions to any of the files, much less, what values to place in the file(s).
Any assistance would be appreciated on teh edit option.
BTW: Captivate with CM7.1 (and a functional GPS after a number of patch/fixes applied)

cm7 has this option.

[Q] Open camera with hardweare button

Is it possible to set hardware button (or combination of buttons) to lunch camera application? I would like to be able to take a picture without use of touch screen. I tried camera zoom FX in which you can set volume button for shutter. To lunch application I have used S-voice, but it is very unreliable and requires internet connection. So I’m looking for other ideas.

Try another apps and if not I think we need a new kernel with this feature

No custom kernel needed
You could re-assign the S-Voice double home press through some framework editing. Of course you need some dev skill as it won't be easy!
I will post you some links asap!
EDIT: I'm quite sure that you can do this by editing android.policy.jar.
Decompile it using apktool and take a look at com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smali, lines 3896 to 3922 define the double home press behaviour This is the best I can do, I hope you'll find it useful ^^
The easy way: you can always try to search on the play store and assign a custom gesture/key the camera launch activity

Thank you for your answer. I'm not familiar with apktool, so I did some more search on the play store and I found an application Home2 Shortcut. With this app you can reassign double click of menu key to start any application. Now with double click of menu button I lunch the Camera zoom FX and with volume button I take a picture. Now I'm able to take a picture with my winter biking gloves on.

How do I take a screen shot of an open program?

so, I haven't rooted yet, and am trying to take screen shots of some open programs. I know you are supposed to either hold the power button and volume down together, but its impossible with my fat fingers to do that properly; I also saw that holding home and power is supposed to work, but that doesn't either.
Also, the quick memo program, which supposedly does that too, doesn't do it; when I invoke that, I just get a blank, yellow page to show up, not the open screen of the open program..
Am I missing something?
thanks!

I have big hands too. Try pushing the middle area between the Vol down and Power with one finger. Just a pretty quick push. Works for me your results may vary.

thanks man, it took a few tries but I got it to work! :good::good:

Apps for taking screenshots
Apps are available in Google Play Store, that allow to take screenshots of your phone's screen.

With root, Install Xposed framework- gravity box. Then enable screenshot option on power menu.
