Recently, I got a Motorola droid and decided to make a program for the Android Operating system. However, I'm having a bit of trouble. A while back, I made a program in Java that calculates the actual storage capacity of secondary storage devices ranging from KB to YB units and displays the results in a dialog box. I'm trying to port that program to the Android, but have the results appear in a textfield (EditText widget on the Android) that is readonly. My problem is that the program does not seem to be doing anything on the emulator provided by the Android SDK, because it does not display in the textfield. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the XML that creates the GUI:
Here is the XML to control string displays:
Here is the XML to create the list for the Spinner:
Here is the Java class that contains the necessary formulas:
And here is the main source of the Android App:
Here is the new source to work with, when I tried to fix things:
Here is the XML that creates the GUI:
Code:
<?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"
>
<!-- the following creates a textfield -->
<EditText android:id="@+id/size"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" "
/>
<!-- the following creates a combobox -->
<Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:prompt="@string/choices"
/>
<!-- the following creates another textfield -->
<EditText android:id="@+id/result"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" "
/>
<!-- the following creates a button -->
<Button android:id="@+id/submit"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/submit_text"
/>
</LinearLayout>Here is the XML to control string displays:
Code:

<resources>
<string name="app_name">Actual Storage</string>
<string name="choices">Select a unit</string>
<string name="message">Enter a Size</string>
<string name="submit_text">Calculate</string>
</resources>Here is the XML to create the list for the Spinner:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="choices_array">
<item>KB</item>
<item>MB</item>
<item>GB</item>
<item>TB</item>

</resources>Here is the Java class that contains the necessary formulas:
Code:
