How can I make a RadioButton with overlapping text?

Image
By User



I'm adding programmatically multiple answers to a questions as RadioButtons in a RadioGroup (see code and image below).





I almost achieved it but instead of having a radio button with a text on its side (see image below), I would like to have only the text and the background.





Can I get rid of the radio button?





Or can I set my current background as the radio button (with checked/unchecked states), and add a text overlapping it?







RadioGroup answer_container = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.answer_container);



while (c.isAfterLast() == false) {



    RadioButton answer = new RadioButton(PCItem.this);

    answer.setText(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DBAdapter.KEY_ANS_TEXT)));

    answer.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.btn_ans);

    answer.setPadding((int)(30 * density), 0, 0, 0);

    answer.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams((int)(775 * density), (int)(81 * density));

    params.setMargins(0, (int)(20*density), 0, 0);

    answer.setLayoutParams(params);



    answer_container.addView(answer);



    c.moveToNext();

}

    You can use radioButton.setButtonDrawable(). You can also specify different drawables for each button state (including checked/unchecked) using a StateListDrawable.

    To completely remove the button you can simply set it as null:

    <RadioButton
    android:button="@null"
    ...
    />


    Be aware that by code radioButton.setButtonDrawable(null); doesn't work! The correct way is to set an empty StateListDrawable:

    radioButton.setButtonDrawable(new StateListDrawable());


    If you have more items, you can create a custom style to override the default properties of RadioButton:

    <style name="CustomRadioButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.CompoundButton.RadioButton">
    <item name="android:button">@null</item>
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">0dp</item>
    </style>

    Ok, I made it using

    answer.setButtonDrawable(android.R.color.transparent);


    to remove the button, and using a selector as btn_ans:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_choix_unsel" />
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_choix_sel" />
    </selector>

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
