Can I Edit The Text Of Sign In Button On Google?


Answer :

Here is the technique that I used:

protected void setGooglePlusButtonText(SignInButton signInButton, String buttonText) {     // Find the TextView that is inside of the SignInButton and set its text     for (int i = 0; i < signInButton.getChildCount(); i++) {         View v = signInButton.getChildAt(i);          if (v instanceof TextView) {             TextView tv = (TextView) v;             tv.setText(buttonText);             return;         }     } }

Here is the easiest way that I used:

    TextView textView = (TextView) signInButton.getChildAt(0);     textView.setText("your_text_xyz");

Problem:

Other answers have mentioned a workaround. The underlying implementation of the button may change any time which would cause the code to break. I felt uncomfortable trying to use the hacks. For a clean solution, you would think that setting android:text on the com.google.android.gms.common.SignInButton in your layout file would do the trick. However it turns out that that attribute is not available for SignInButton.

Google's guidelines

From documentation, Google suggests creating a custom button as mentioned on Customizing the Sign-In Button [Archived now. See the archived page here]. It suggests using the branding guidelines as mentioned at Sign-In Branding Guidelines. This includes using the given custom icons and images in the button, setting specific text size, paddings and other do's and don'ts for the logo.

Clean Solution:

Doing as per Google's suggestion involves some custom work. I was willing to do that but wanted to create something reusable, so that others won't have to go through this again. That's why I wrote a quick small (4KB) library does that. Feel free to contribute to it for everyone's benefit if you find issues.

  • Step 1: Add the following to your app module level build.gradle file:

    dependencies {     implementation 'com.shobhitpuri.custombuttons:google-signin:1.1.0' }

  • Step 2: In your XML Layout, have the following:

    <RelativeLayout     ...     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">      <com.shobhitpuri.custombuttons.GoogleSignInButton         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_centerInParent="true"         android:text="@string/google_sign_up"         app:isDarkTheme="true" /> </RelativeLayout>

Usage

  • android:text="{string}": As usual to set the text on the button.

  • app:isDarkTheme="{Boolean}": To switch between blue theme and white theme for the button. The library handles changing of text color and background color. It also handles the change of color on button press or button clicks.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
