Canon Copiers

May 30, 2012 by blogmeister·3 Comments

Canon is a famous brand on just about anything it mass produces. Cameras, copiers, everything! And it is not because they are famous just because of slick marketing.

Well, maybe that too but majority of it is because they produce high quality products that perform well with regards to their intended use.

Canon copiers are known for their durability. I know quite a number of friends who bought a copier for their business ended up getting the Canon brand instead. Heck, those repairs cost a lot and they regret their decision to opt for the cheaper and unknown brands.

I am not saying Canon copiers are expensive. They are affordable but considering their brand and identity, I would say the pricing is fair.

Copy Faxes is an online marketplace where you can find and purchase Canon copiers in the comfort of your home. You can find out right away if the model you like is available or not. This is the convenience of the Internet.

They even deliver the purchased product to you!

The online marketplace itself is brimmed with everything one may need to complement their copier. Accessories are available for products that are compatible to it. This relieves you the trouble of having to look for accessories that can be useful to complement your Canon copier.

You should check it out!

Fix The requestFeature() Must Be Called Before Adding Content RunTimeException

If you encounter this error message, I figure you used the requestWindowFeature() method in a class that already inherits from Activity. Say, PreferenceActivity perhaps?

While the rule to use this method should be before one sets the content view of the Activity, in the case of a PreferenceActivity class, it is different.

Since super.onCreate() is called, the ViewGroup is set up so you are not allowed to change the Window‘s parameters.

The workaround for this is to call the requestWindowFeature() method first before super.onCreate(). That should fix it.

Make Links In TextView Clickable

There will be cases where we may want our text in strings.xml intact without adding HTML tags in order for hyperlinks to be shown as underlined and colored blue. Just like my experience.

I did not want the text in my strings.xml file for this certain variable to have HTML formatted tags within it.

Let us have an example:

<string name="test">This is a hyperlink, so <a href="http://www.google.com">click me</a>.</string>

1	<string name="test">This is a hyperlink, so <a href="http://www.google.com">click me</a>.</string>

To make the hyperlink in the TextView to be linkable, simply call this programmatically:

textview.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

1	textview.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

That is all. Do not add the attribute android:autoLink=”web” in your layout XML, or else it won’t work.
