Is calculating an MD5 hash less CPU intensive than SHA-1 or SHA-2 on &quot;standard&quot; laptop x86 hardware? I&#39;m interested in general information, not specific to a certain chip.

**UPDATE:**
In my case, I&#39;m interested in calculating the hash of a file. If file-size matters, let&#39;s assume its 300K.

I&#39;ve seen AccountManager in the Android SDK and that it is used for storing account information. Thus, I cannot find any general discussion of what it is intended for. Does anyone know of any helpful discussions of what the intention behind AccountManager is and what it buys you? Any opinions of what type of Accounts this is suitable for?  Would this be where you&#39;d put your user&#39;s account information for a general web service?

I&#39;m creating notifications in my Android application, and would like to have an option in my preferences to set what sound is used for the notification.

Does anyone know, if vendors provide or if there is a site where one could download AVD profiles for existing android devices on the market so you can run your apps in the emulator and basically see how they will run on said devices?

I know it&#39;s pretty easy to create a new device but it&#39;d be great if one could just download the config file for each device and run it.

Is there a repo where you can download android virtual devices?

I want to set the `LayoutParams` for an `ImageView` but cant seem to find out the proper way to do it.

I can only find documentation in the API for the various `ViewGroups`, but not an `ImageView`. Yet the `ImageView` seems to have this functionality.

This code doesn&#39;t work...

    myImageView.setLayoutParams(new ImageView.LayoutParams(30,30));

How do I do it?

I want to use a custom font for my android application which I am creating.  
I can individually change the typeface of each object from Code, but I have hundreds of them.

So,

  - Is there a way to do this from the XML? [Setting a custom typeface]
  - Is there a way to do it from code in one place, to say that the whole application and all the components should use the custom typeface instead of the default one?

I want to download an image (of unknown size, but which is always roughly square) and display it so that it fills the screen horizontally, and stretches vertically to maintain the aspect ratio of the image, on any screen size. Here is my (non-working) code. It stretches the image horizontally, but not vertically, so it is squashed...

    ImageView mainImageView = new ImageView(context);
		mainImageView.setImageBitmap(mainImage); //downloaded from server
		mainImageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
		//mainImageView.setAdjustViewBounds(true); 
		//with this line enabled, just scales image down
		addView(mainImageView,new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( 
                LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

I need to do form input validation on a series of EditTexts. I&#39;m using OnFocusChangeListeners to trigger the validation after the user types into each one, but this doesn&#39;t behave as desired for the last EditText.

If I click on the &quot;Done&quot; button while typing into the final EditText then the InputMethod is disconnected, but technically focus is never lost on the EditText (and so validation never occurs).

What&#39;s the best solution?

Should I be monitoring when the InputMethod unbinds from each EditText rather than when focus changes? If so, how?

I am creating an `EditText` object which I then try to reference in a unit test. What is the best way to add a new `id` to `R.id` for this dynamically created object, so that I can later reference it via `findViewById()` in the unit test?

I have a multi-line `EditText`:

    &lt;EditText 
        android:layout_gravity=&quot;center&quot;
        android:id=&quot;@+id/txtMessage&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
        android:layout_below=&quot;@+id/lblMessage&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
        android:width=&quot;250dip&quot;
        android:text=&quot;&quot;
        android:maxLength=&quot;760&quot;
        android:lines=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/EditText&gt;

Now the content is aligned to the middle. And I&#39;d like to have the content aligned to the top.

Is there a property to do that?


Vertical content align in Android EditText

I have been trying to get my EditText box to word wrap, but can&#39;t seem to do it.

I have dealt with much more complicated issues while developing Android applications, and this seems like it should be a straightforward process.

However, the issue remains, and I have a large text box that is only allowing me to enter text on one line, continuing straight across, scrolling horizontally as I enter text.

Here is the XML code for the EditText object from my layout file.

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;LinearLayout
        android:id=&quot;@+id/myWidget48&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
        android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot;
        xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
        &gt;
     &lt;ScrollView
        android:id=&quot;@+id/myScrollView&quot;
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
        android:layout_weight=&quot;1&quot;
        &gt;
        &lt;LinearLayout
            android:id=&quot;@+id/widget37&quot;
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
            android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
            android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot;
        &gt;
    
    &lt;EditText
            android:id=&quot;@+id/txtNotes&quot;
            android:layout_width=&quot;300px&quot;
            android:layout_height=&quot;120px&quot;
            android:scrollbars=&quot;vertical&quot;
            android:textSize=&quot;18sp&quot;
            android:gravity=&quot;left&quot;
            android:layout_marginTop=&quot;10dip&quot;
            android:inputType=&quot;textCapSentences&quot;
            &gt;
        &lt;/EditText&gt;
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
