Quoting [wikipedia][1] : 

&gt; An ex-Microsoft employee of Google is
&gt; credited with coining the term during
&gt; the development of MSN Messenger,
&gt; since Messenger&#39;s small notification
&gt; windows slide upward into view, **like
&gt; toast popping out of a toaster**

And I always thought it was like a toast with a glass of wine, where you give a short message like &quot;to your health&quot; or &quot;happy birthday&quot; or &quot;contact deleted&quot;.

But a toaster make more sense.

I have a big `&lt;div&gt;` with three little `&lt;div&gt;`&#39;s inside of it, inline. They each have 33% width, but that causes some alignment problems because 3 * 33% != 100%. What is the best way to represent a perfect third in CSS like this? Maybe just 33.33%?

Best way to represent 1/3rd of 100% in CSS?

I have four activities, say A, B, C and D.
My situation is A will start the activity B by startActivityForResult.  

    startActivityForResult(new Intent(this,B.class),ONE);
In other situation i will B with other situation. like 

     startActivityForResult(new Intent(this,B.class),TWO);

In B, I need to call C or D depending on requestCode. I.e if ONE need to start C else D.  
So I need to know how to check the requestCode in the child Activity (B here).  
In other words, I want to get the request code that Activity B was started with.   


Using startActivityForResult, how to get requestCode in child activity?

My guess it that the lightweight notifications in Android are called &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html&quot;&gt;Toast&lt;/a&gt; because they popup like toast from a toaster.  Can anyone confirm this or provide a better explanation?  I am teaching a course on Android development and would like to edit the wiki, so I want to be sure to get it right.

Why are Android popup messages called toasts?

The section &quot;Avoid Enums Where You Only Need Ints&quot; was removed from the official [developer documentation][1]. (See [Why doesn&#39;t Android use more enums?][2] for the old section content)

Why? Was there a change in the Android VM that made the tip obsolete?

I have three activities whose launch modes are single instance.  
Using `onfling()`, I swing them left and right. 

The problem is when I swipe right to left the slide transition is okay but when I swipe left to right, I get the transition of swiping right to left. 

I know why this is happening its because I am always sending new intents. But, now I need to change the animation of sliding left to right. 

I know there is a method named `overridingTransitionPending()`, but I do not know how to define my animation in XML.

Forenote: This is an extension of the thread started on [/r/haskell][1]

Lets start with the facts:

 - Android is one awesome Operating System
 - Haskell is the best programming language on the planet

Therefore, clearly, combining them would make Android development that much better. So essentially I would just like to know how I can write Haskell programs for the Android OS. My question is:

&gt; How can I get a Haskell program to execute/run on the Android OS?

I want to add a Fragment to an Activity that implements its layout programmatically. I looked over the Fragment documentation but there aren&#39;t many examples describing what I need. Here is the type of code I tried to write:

    public class DebugExampleTwo extends Activity {

        private ExampleTwoFragment mFragment;
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            FrameLayout frame = new FrameLayout(this);
            if (savedInstanceState == null) {
                mFragment = new ExampleTwoFragment();
                FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                ft.add(frame.getId(), mFragment).commit();
            }
            
            setContentView(frame);
        }
    }

...
    
    public class ExampleTwoFragment extends Fragment {

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, 
                                 ViewGroup container, 
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            Button button = new Button(getActivity());
            button.setText(&quot;Hello There&quot;);
            return button;
        }
    }

This code compiles but crashes at start, probably because my `FragmentTransaction.add()` is incorrect. What is the correct way to do this?

I am displaying a toast message as the result of an if statement using the following code:

    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), &quot;Please Enter Price&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

It is displayed as white text on a white background, as such it can not be read! My question is, how can I change the colour of the toast&#39;s text?

What does need to be imported or how can I call the Layout inflater in places other than activity?

    public static void method(Context context){
        //this doesn&#39;t work the getLayoutInflater method could not be found
        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
        // this also doesn&#39;t work 
        LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
    }

I am able to call `getLayoutInflater` only in activity, is that an restriction? What if I want to create custom dialog and I want to inflate view for it, or what if I want to have Toast message with custom view that is shown from a service, I only have the context from the service I do not have any activity but I want to show custom message.

I need the inflater in places in the code that isn&#39;t in the activity class.

How can I do this ?



Call getLayoutInflater() in places not in activity

I need the exact duration of LENGTH_LONG and LENGTH_SHORT in milliseconds (ms). Also I need to know if the duration of Toast message with LENGTH_LONG will have the same duration in any phone and with any API version.

Does someone know where is the duration defined ?, I mean defined in ms . I know that LENGTH_LONG is some int const with value 1. But I could not find where is the actual duration defined.


What is the duration of a Toast LENGTH_LONG and LENGTH_SHORT

I&#39;m new to android and I&#39;m trying to understand the difference between `getApplication()`, `getApplicationContext(`), `getBaseContext()`, `getContext()` and `someClass.this` and especially when to use the these methods in the following code lines:

When I launch a toast what is the difference between these and in which cases to I use them?

    Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, &quot;LogIn successful&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Toast.makeText(getApplication(), &quot;LogIn successful&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), &quot;LogIn successful&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), &quot;LogIn successful&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

same with intents:

    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), LoginActivity.class);
    Intent intent = new Intent(MenuPagina., LoginActivity.class);
    Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), LoginActivity.class);
    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplication(), LoginActivity.class);



difference and when to use getApplication(), getApplicationContext(), getBaseContext() and someClass.this

I&#39;m trying to show a Toast Message when user click on a Button inside a Fragment. The problem is I cannot access the activity to show the Toast on it.

Here&#39;s the source of `Fragment`:

        public class FrgTimes extends Fragment
        {
        	ScrollView sv;
        	public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        			Bundle savedInstanceState) 
        	{
        		if (container == null) { return null; }
        
        		sv = (ScrollView)inflater.inflate(R.layout.frg_times, container, false);
     
                btnTime1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    			public void onClick(View v) {

                //******  HERE&#39;s the PROBLEM  ********
    			Toast.makeText(&lt;The Activity&gt;, &quot;Please long press the key&quot;, Toast.LENGTH_LONG );
	
    			}});
    
                return sv;
            }

and Here&#39;s what I&#39;ve been tried.

    Toast.makeText( getActivity()  , ...
    Toast.makeText( getView().getContext()  , ...
    Toast.makeText( getActivity().getApplicationContext()  , ...
    Toast.makeText( sv.getContext()  , ...
    Toast.makeText( sv.getRootView().getContext()  , ...

In Debug I can see that all of these codes run without any exception but no `TOAST` being displayed.
