I’m trying to write an extension to SeekBar to customise it’s behaviour.
I’m having problems getting the most basic form of the new class to run in the emulator.
I can’t even get a class that doesn’t add any new functionality to start up.
Can anybody tell me what basic thing I’m missing out here?
Why won’t the app initialise correctly when I try to use an ExtendedSeekBar?
Where do I find details of the exception that has occurred?
I running Eclipse on XP, using Android SDK tools revision 10.
What other information should I provide?
Thanks for any help.
Here’s the detail of what I’m trying to do.
Starting from the Hello World tutorial app I extend main.xml to include a standard SeekBar and update HelloAndroid.java to find the object and set the progress to 25.
Here’s main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<SeekBar
android:id="@+id/SeekBar01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
and here’s HelloAndroid.java:
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
SeekBar vSeekBar1 = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.SeekBar01);
vSeekBar1.setProgress(25);
}
}
I run this and, no problem, the SeekBar appears in the app on the emulator with tthe progress correctly set
No problems so far…
So, now I want to start to extend the SeekBar.
I update main.xml to change SeekBar to ExtendedSeekbar
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<ExtendedSeekBar
android:id="@+id/SeekBar01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
and HelloAndroid.java to find the new object
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ExtendedSeekBar vSeekBar1 = (ExtendedSeekBar)findViewById(R.id.SeekBar01);
vSeekBar1.setProgress(25);
}
}
I create a new class that just contains the new Constructors and an initialise function that is called by each constructor (so I can set a single breakpoint)
ExtendedSeekBar.java
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
public class ExtendedSeekBar extends SeekBar {
public ExtendedSeekBar(Context context) {
super(context);
Initialise();
}
public ExtendedSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
Initialise();
}
public ExtendedSeekBar(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
Initialise();
}
void Initialise(){
Log.i("ESB","ExtendedSeekBar Initialise ");
}
}
Now, when I run it I get the Debug View appear with the following stack dump

You need to add the view to the xml in the following way:
