[android-developers] Re: On Debian Jessie - Android Studio download page says operating system not supported

[Droid Test]

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your reply - I'm amazed that anyone saw my post in the middle of 
the spam.

The "Requirements" page says that the Linux version of Android Studio was 
tested on Ubuntu 12.04.  On the upside, that is an LTS version.  On the 
downside, it was released 4 years ago and there are two more recent LTS 
versions.  It's a bit difficult to believe that Google is committed to 
Linux as a development platform if that's the best they can do.  So maybe 
we shouldn't be surprised that the download button for Studio does not work!

On a similar note, the maintainers of Android NDK have recently deprecated 
gcc in favor of Clang (which does not have a copyleft licence) and are 
switching NDK from bash to Python for scripting.  I 'm guessing that they 
want to maximize ease of use for Windows based development platforms;  
looks like Linux platform users will pay the price.

Anyway, for what it is worth, I found that the SDK Tools (but not the 
complete Studio) can be downloaded.  I have not actually tried to install 
these yet, but pass on the following notes in hopes that they may be 
helpful.  I will attempt an install over the next few days and will report 
any results; would appreciate if you or anyone who reads this and tries an 
install would also report.

Jack

Here are my notes:

The following is from:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27043522/where-can-i-download-an-older-version-of-the-android-sdk

First check this link to find out what revision number you need.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/sdk-tools.html

then use one of these links

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-windows.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-linux.zip
http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r[rev]-macosx.zip

I was able to download:

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.2-linux.zip

[android-developers] On Debian Jessie - Android Studio download page says operating system not supported

[Droid Test]

I want to install Android Studio - or at least Android SDK - on my Debian 
Jessie system.

When I go to

https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

the button on the page says "YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM IS NOT SUPPORTED / SEE 
THE REQUIREMENTS".

so I click on it and the requirements are:

   - GNOME or KDE desktop 
   
   *Tested on Ubuntu® 12.04, Precise Pangolin (64-bit distribution capable 
   of running 32-bit applications)*
   - 64-bit distribution capable of running 32-bit applications
   - GNU C Library (glibc) 2.11 or later
   - 2 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended
   - 2 GB of available disk space minimum,
   4 GB Recommended (500 MB for IDE + 1.5 GB for Android SDK and emulator 
   system image)
   - 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution
   - For accelerated emulator: Intel® processor with support for Intel® 
   VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality, 
   or AMD processor with support for AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™)

My system meets all the requirements except possibly the last, which 
appears  to be optional.


- I'm using the Gnome desktop

- The distro is 64 bit, and I've installed the 32 bit library packages 
lib32stdc++6, lib32ncurses5, lib32z1 and (from wheezy) lib32z2-1.0.

- 5.8 GiB of 9.6 GiB RAM is available.

- 643 GB of disk is available.

- The screen is 1920 x 1080.


Just to be absolutely clear, this is not a runtime or even an install 
problem, instead the website will not even allow me to access the tarball 
to download!


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  The simplest answer would be a 
URL on google.com from which I could download the needed tarball.  (There 
are other websites which claim to make the file available for download - 
but who knows what malware they contain!)

Re: [android-developers] pass parameters between threads

[droid dev]

.. What you said there doesn't make sense. A variable has to be explicitly
declared as a class or instance member; it doesn't just magically appear
when you remove a local variable.

I think what John was describing does make sense. He had inadvertently
created a new response var in an inner scope, thereby effectively masking
out his pre-existing instance var of the same name; therefore the response
data was being discarded each time the inner scope was exited.

[android-developers] How to find device dropping installs

I have an App that is dropping installs like a stone but I do not see
which device is doing it in my Play beautiful stats. Why? Because all
the devices in the graphic are OK so it must be one below the main
list (in 'others') that my app is crashing.  Any ideas how I can find

[android-developers] Re: digital audio input to android phone or tablet

[droid-stricken]

Unfortunately, it's a real time app i.e the feed has to be continuous and i 
have a piece of device that's outputting digital audio which i need to 
direct to the android device for recording and analysis.
I have Google Nexus phone from HTC running 2.3.3 and i don't see USB host 
mode option on it. Do you think a Motorola Xoom running 4.0.3 might have 
the USB Host Mode?

And @Chris you say -  You should, *with work,* be able  - i was wondering 
what's the scope of work is really - are we talking about some hardware 
changes or writing a patch in software for a driver and such here? Kindly 
point me to more resources in this regard. I would appreciate it.

 If you do not strictly need a digital audio input, it should be possible 
 to build an analog matching network to couple line audio into the 
 microphone channel of the headset jack (most likely a resistor for 
 attenuation and a capacitor to AC couple).  This may however be mono, and 
 might require optimization for device model to get best performance.

using HDMI or USB or any such interface] into any of the android devices 
currently out there [phones or tablets does not matter]. AFAIK, built-in 
microphone is the only means of getting audio [analog at that] into the 
android system. Correct me if i am wrong pls.

TIA.

[android-developers] Re: Licensing issue on Multiple-apk feature.

[droid-stricken]

I don't know what the response code is since that's not being put out
to console.
The following is what i see from the LicenseChecker class -

02-09 10:11:50.556: I/LicenseChecker(2224): Binding to licensing
service.
02-09 10:11:50.596: I/LicenseChecker(2224): Calling checkLicense on
service for your_package_name
02-09 10:11:50.596: I/LicenseChecker(2224): Start monitoring timeout.
02-09 10:11:51.126: I/LicenseChecker(2224): Received response.
02-09 10:11:51.126: I/LicenseChecker(2224): Clearing timeout.

The response code is definitely not one of these: LICENSED,
NOT_LICENSED, LICENSED_OLD_KEY because i don't see any of logs from
the signature verification process.

I will try to get more logs - responsecode in specific. But i thought
if someone else was having similar issues, i could save some time.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Play a media file in the assets or res/raw folder in another app

[droid-stricken]

Hi All,

I had posted this question yesterday on the stackoverflow. But no one
seems to know the answer or have the time to make to share their
thoughts.

http://stackoverflow.com/q/9124314/693959

Is it possible to play a media file in the application's assets or res/
raw folder in another app like GALLERY or some other external media
player?
I am aware of the content-provider and content-resolver classes. But i
have seen it being used only for sharing the application's database
with other apps. Even if i created a content-provider for this video
file, i am not sure how to consume it i.e be able to launch an intent
and provide the video file as data to the 3rd party app.

Any inputs is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Passing big array of strings from Java to JNI

[Droid]

I use the intermediary of a serial file in the 'raw' folder - read it

I read this file line by line. Its kinda using a file instead of RAM
to store loads of strings.
Works for large files AFAIK and reads are fast. Also
I do not have the problem of garbage collection or emergency
memory clear outs that can happen (sh-t happens)

Probably not right for you but at least I tried.

[android-developers] Re: Reading Text Written on Image

I don't think this is easy at present. Its not just a library needed
but rather a neural network character recogniser.
AFAIK one is being developed but not ready for java Android at this

a library and may need JNI.

Just my take - maybe there IS such a library

[android-developers] ChartDroid 3rd party library for dynamic graphing

[droid-stricken]

Hi,

I had posted the same question on StackOverflow y'day and it does not
seem to have strung a chord with users there.
So, i am hoping someone in this group might have some insights to
share -

My question:

Have anyone of you used chartDroid for displaying dynamic graphs esp.
bargraphs? The static case works great right out of the box. I noticed
on AndroidPlot Feature Comparison that dynamic support is not
available. Just wanted to verify if that's still true. If yes, would
you recommend AchartEnngine for dynamic graph display? I am looking at
open source options currently.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

[android-developers] Building Apps based on System Apps

[CultOf Droid]

Dear Droid  Cult,

I've built the latest master branch of 2.3.3 on my Ubuntu 11.10, and
in the process, built all the stock apps.

My aim is to:

1 Add custom features to a system app, and make a standalone,
distributable .Apk, with a different app name/credentials/package, so
that it does not try to replace / update the existing system app. In
doing so, I've come across a couple hurdles - some

a Apps based on system app are built as .apks and .odex files. This
kind of app packaging is NOT distributable, unless you create custom
firmware for the app. I want a regular .apk with classes.dex inside
the Apk. For instance, if I want to make myMail, based on the system
email application, HOW can I make a standalone myMail.apk which is
easily distributable?

b Clearly building in the OS source path makes the app less portable,
as compared to those built with the standard SDK. Any comments on how
to increase portability, if you base your app on a system app?

Thanks!
CultOf Droid

[android-developers] Render camera preview as scaled quad in NDK / OpenGLES2 app

[Droid Dev'r]

Hi,

I have an OpenGLES2 app that does some rendering via NDK (similar to
the way the NDK hello-gl2 sample app does it). I want to get the
camera preview as either NV21 or RGB565 and send the bytes via JNI to C
++, update a texture using those bytes, and finally render a quad with
the updated texture. I've converted NV21 as just grayscale at the
moment, since it's easier, and that looks fine on one phone, but on
another phone I get an image that is 1/2 or 1/4 the height, and it
looks duplicated along the width. RGB565 looks jumpy on one phone
(it's like the image is offset negative units from the top, and the
offset varies). On the other phone, I get the same half height,
duplicated width effect. I'm making sure I lock/unlock a mutex when I
update the texture bytes and when I call glTexImage2D right before
rendering. Could I missing some other thread problem?

Right now, my GLSurfaceView implements surfaceCreated, surfaceChanged,
and surfaceDestroyed. On surfaceChanged(), the camera parameters are
set and the preview is started. My renderer calls a JNI function on
onDrawFrame() which does the actual rendering. The camera buffer's
data is sent via JNI on the PreviewCallback's onPreviewFrame().

Any help is appreciated :)

 different certificate per app and what are the advantages of doing so? If
 any...

 But that's not really the question I want to make. I'll be releasing a free
 and paid versions of my app and I'm opting for the method where the paid
 app simply unlocks full functionality. I'll be using the process described
 in a thread around these groups. Where you check for the certificates of
 both packages and see if they match. If they do, then the user has unlocked
 the pro version.

 My question is about this specific situation. Is there maybe any reason I
 should use a unique certificate for these 2 apps? And if I release another
 free/paid pair in the same unlock model, I would use another certificate
 for those 2. I could then have another different certificate from the
 previous 2 for all other apps that do not use this unlock method or that
 are simply free.

 Is there any advantage in doing so? Or there is none and I should just use
 a single certificate for everything?

[android-developers] Renderscript on various tablets

[Droid]

I tried my renderscript app out on an Asus tablet in a shop. It did
not work :(  Not force closeing but it displayed nothing.

Anyway to check fast renderscript apps? - I cannot afford to test on
every tablet.

[android-developers] An application that hosts a set of other applications

[droid-stricken]

Hi All,

I have posted this question on StackOverFlow. So apologies for those
that find this redundant - but i could not get any ideas (yet) from
that forum. So, i repeat here:

-
I have half a dozen apps that i want to put on Google Market. One of
them are ready and the other are in progress. All these apps are kinda
related - like a suite of apps, you could assume. So, i was wondering
if it would be better to have a separate app (in addition from the
half a dozen apps i wish to develop) and have it serve as a LIBRARY-
app where users can find, purchase and launch the half a dozen apps.

This is conceptually similar to the Google Books free app where the
app serves as a library and users can browse for other books from
within this app and purchase it. The only difference is in my case, it
would be other fully functional independent app instead of a book.

Is there a better way to approach what i am trying to do? Basically, i
need an app that can host a set of mutually independent apps.

If yes, how do i host one app inside an app?

Thanks in advance.
-

Thanks.

Thanks for all the inputs.
I like the in-app purchase solution the best since that fits my needs
the best.

Any pointers on how to realize this solution is greatly appreciated. I
am not looking for code per-say but any more information on this
methodology would help greatly.

Thanks.

 One option is to have the main package that would include all the
 applications as sections. Each section could be a limited free version and
 then use in-app purchase to activate the full version. You could then
 continue to add sections that started out as free test version and give
 people the option to activate the new sections they would like to use.

 The end result would be a single application with a collection of sections
 that could be purchased (or upgraded).

[android-developers] How can I best identify my App?

[Droid]

Identification of my apps is proving difficult across developer page,
buyers market pages, eclipse project name, phone app name, apk name.

1) My developer page does not give package names and is non-
searchable. I have many apps.
2) The app name string for the phone and app name in buyers market can
be different.
3) The eclipse project name can be different from all the other names.
Also many versions all needing names.
4) The buyers name in market does not always retrieve the right app
form the buyers app name.
5) The version name only allows 30 chars - too small to store my
package names
6) The apk name is just another name for me to cope with...

Use the package name? No...If I know the package name it does not help
finding the app on my developers page because the developer page does
not name the package anywhere AFAIK.

So I cannot think up a good naming method.

Anyone got a full-proof way of identifying apps. There may be a simple
way, but I cannot see it arrrgg.

[android-developers] Re: How to exit application

[Droid]

System.exit(0) is not recommended because it messes up when a user
brings the app back after a short pause.
Horrible things can happen to what you've got in memory. Its not a
clean or consistent memory wipe IMO.

I think you have to work with the idea that activities are held in
memory for a time in the case of a return by the user to the app.

It is sometimes hard to deal with, but in my experience, I simply have
to go with it. I end up using onStop() and onStart() sometimes. And it
can get complicated.

Sorry if this is not the answer you wanted to hear as I expect you
want a complete close of the app and all its memory contents.
There might be a way of doing that but I don't know it and
System.exit(0 is too unpredictable to use AFAIK.

[android-developers] Re: How to exit application

[Droid]

Its not always so simple to use
android.os.process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); to close
your app.
1) You cannot detect when the home button has been pressed so when to
call killProcess?  If you are lucky calling it in onStop() somehow may
work but that can get very difficult if you have many activities.
2) Some processes are not stopped by it. I could not use it when
service threads and other non-ui threads were spun up - didn't stop
them. Threads 'in progress' at the time can bring app back to life
after killProcess() called.

[android-developers] Can I use drawable-small, large, xlarge instead of hdpi, mdpi, ldpi?

[Droid]

I find too many possible image folders confusing and it does not seem
to make any difference if I make an image in Photoshop as 70 dpi, 150
dpi or whatever - it just makes a bigger or smaller image.

So, can I use just drawable-small, large, xlarge and DROP all my hdpi,
mdpi and ldpi folders (which confuse me).

If I can get away with this, life would be so much easier.

[android-developers] Re: Can I use drawable-small, large, xlarge instead of hdpi, mdpi, ldpi?

[Droid]

So on an hdpi screen the icons will be smaller.
So my apps made on a nexus and emulator will
not display as I believe they will. Rather all my images
will be smaller whilst text boxes etc will be the same
(unless I am using dip not sp).
Then drawable-large folder is for large screens with hdpi or
mdpi? And I am not sure whether photoshop's dpi setting
does anything than change the size of the image.

Clearly I need to go to school about all this because I come
from a programming background. At first site I need larger images
for larger dpi screens. Hope I can find out how much larger and
which folder to put them in.

 Of course. That's the point. On a high density device, you use a
 high-pixel-count image to result in something that renders the right
 size but has more detail. On a low density device, you use a
 low-pixel-count image to result in something that renders the right
 size (i.e., not blown up huge).

  So, can I use just drawable-small, large, xlarge and DROP all my hdpi,
  mdpi and ldpi folders

 Not really.

   (which confuse me).

 Since screen density is going to be fairly important in all GUI
 programming going forward, perhaps you should consider learning more
 about screen density, rather than thinking you can ignore the problem.

 For example, I am typing this on a notebook with a 15.6 notebook with
 a 1080p (1920x108) display. This is a significantly higher screen
 density than typical notebooks. As a result, icons, text, etc. tend to
 come out smaller, since few programmers or Web designers think about
 screen density. And, sometimes Web designers even actively prevent
 solutions (e.g., can't increase font size using a browser because
 they're doing something screwy that just doesn't respond).

  If I can get away with this, life would be so much easier.

 Not really.

Re: [android-developers] Do unique app names mean nothing in the Android Market?

[A droid]

Sorry..my previous post was @Amit.

Does anyone know how we developers can be notified of changes to the market
by google? Do they update anyone of anything? I am a bit lost as to all the
posts on that thread about the market problems.. looks like tons of
developers lost a lot of money. Does google recoup them for their screw up?
It's quite worrisome that something like this happens years after the market
has been around. I am more baffled as to why the search on the phone/tablet
and the web site return different results. That's ridiculous. The service
the phone/tablets use should be the same thing used by the site. They should
get the identical results back with the exception of filtering apps based on
device (type/os version).

If anyone is having problems getting JSON contents back (it does work
but needs careful coding) I have blogged it:

[android-developers] Re: Why does Android restart killed service?

The service is on some type of thread which you have not killed. As

java code.

They can be hard to stop if you don't.

 I kill the application process by the command: adb shell kill pid.
 After killing the process the log shows that new process of my

[android-developers] Re: How to get web data into TextViews?

[Droid]

Thanks..

I have an App Engine python script and my Android App requests text
using a url + querystring and returns just simple text, depending on
the query. That's easy I know how to do the App Engine part. And can
display it in a WebView OK.

I want to display this text in a TextView on my Android and need
specific code snippet to do it.

I know that I need an Async or a Thread to do it, but I cannot find
this basic example - they are either WebViews
which I don't want or complex examples that I cannot unravel.

Can someone point me at an easy source code example? TreKing?

A 'word' answer would also be too hard for me.

Thanks if I get an answer...

 Usually you will be hard pressed to find examples that do exactly everything
 you want. Break down the problem.

 What is it your're having trouble with specifically?
 Connecting to a server?
 Reading from it?
 Putting text in a TextView?
 Doing this in the background?
 Communicating between main and worker threads?

[android-developers] Re: Why does Android restart killed service?

[Droid]

As far as I remember I had to cancel the service specifically. Killing
the App's pid is not sufficient.
Even a timer thread can bring the App back.

I do not know how to do that from adb. From Java code its easy as you
know (service cancel()).

Sorry if I am no help to you. I just remember this problem myself a
month or two ago.

[android-developers] Back Button leads to Black Screen

[Droid Is As Droid Does]

Hello developers,


I am currently in the process of writing an application that starts
with a SplashScreen, moves to the MainMenu activity and from there the
user can select an item from the menu and it takes them to another
activity.  Pretty simple use case.

However, when I take the user to any other activity, the back button
stops working.  If I hit the back button from the main menu, the
application is closed.  This is great.  However, if I navigate from
the main menu to another task, and then try to hit the back button, I
get a black screen and the application hangs.

I'm not sure what code to show that would help solve this problem.
I've been tearing my eyes out for the past 4 hours looking at all the
different paths, and can't find anything.  There is nothing in LogCat
after this happens, it's almost like the app just hangs.

MainMenu extends ListActivity and looks like so
intent = new Intent(this, ProgramListActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

ProgramListActivity is a TabActivity which swaps in views dynamically
depending on which tab is selected.  When the ProgramListActivity
first loads, the first tab is selected and the View is populated for
that tab (which is a ListActivity).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

mWebView.loadUrl(file:///android_asset/Help%20File/

---

2.
String encodedString = URLEncoder.encode(Help File,utf-8);
mWebView.loadUrl(file:///android_asset/ + encodedString + /
helpfile.html);

Neither 1 nor 2 worked.

I am using a device running Android 3.1 but using API-11. Tried other
API-levels such as 8,9,10 and 12. Nothing worked.

Any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

[android-developers] Re: Speech Recognition in Android

[Droid]

The speech recogniser often makes mistakes, so you have to think about
how to handle wrong words. Otherwise its quite easy to feed voice
recognition to text.
There is lots of code on Google to do that. I have a loop that asks if
the text is correct or not. Well, it works fine, but most users do not
like using it unfortunately. I suppose because its slow.

 Once your app is no longer in the foreground -- because the user pressed
 home, went to a notification, received a call, etc -- then your process may
 be killed at any point and all bets are off.

  I am storing an ArrayList in a static variable in an ordinary (non

  It works correctly when I load it from an activity, but will it be
  guaranteed to remain
  in memory even when my activity is not calling it often?

  Here is the class:

[android-developers] Re: How to force close the app when using multiple activity

[Droid]

The back button will take user to a non-finished activity - normal
behavior.
The home button should not leave an activity visible, but if you have
a non-ui thread still running then that could bring an activity back
to view.
I kill naughty threads in carefully thought out life cycle methods and
cancel thread methods.

But if you finish(); an activity when going to the next, then it
should not cone back to view unless you start it again with an intent.

[android-developers] Re: inflate Vs intent

[Droid]

I think fragments can do that, but I have not got my head around them
yet.
Also, I have never changed 'part' of a layout just on its own without
redrawing all of it. Sorry I am not much help.

 Droid if you avoid inflate,  is there a way to call intent, but only use part 
 of the screen
 by that I mean I have a home page layout which has a framelayout as part of 
 the screen
 how can I use intent and fill just the framelayout with the new intent's 
 layout ?

 at present I only know that intent will change the whole screen.

 So
 Main layout.xml
 
 |  layout      |    layout 2                    |
 |      1          |                                       |

 |                  |  layout 3                      |
 |                  |                                      |
 

 I just want to fill layout 3  with other layouts  using intent,  is this 
 possible ??

Thanks for your sensible suggestion. My sentence should have read 'I

On Jun 11, 1:02 am, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote:
 @Droid-

 You do realize, I hope, since it is the level of logic that should be
 easily expected of any programmer, that what you wrote here makes no
 sense.

 If, after all, on the one hand, My thread is a timer thread that
 brings my activity back to view after
 thehome buttonis pressed. then no, it makes NO sense to cancel it
 whenhome buttonis pressed.

 Besides: if it is a timer thread, shouldn't you really mean that it
 bring your activity back to view after the timer expires? It would
 make sense to cancel that timer when Home is pressed. And you can do
 that in onPause() or in onStop(). In fact, you should probably do that
 in onStop() no matter how you get there This would also simplify your
 code, since it is by design that the platform does not TELL you how
 you got to onStop(): it certainly does not tell you that it got there
 via a Home key.

 Also as has been pointed out many times now, overriding the expected
 result of the Home key is a really, REALLY bad idea. It is a good
 thing that the platform makes this difficult. It should not be done at
 all.

 Now I realize that some customers insist on this 'feature', even
 though it is such a bad idea. In which case, I pity you, but keep on
 slogging ahead. It is possible to get close to what you want, either
 with a custom Home application or some even more kludgy approach. But
 ignore Fung's suggestion, since he is dead wrong.

I suggest asking the iPhone developer to write the app out in pseudo

If the app is a web app phone gap then you have a chance, but straight

I have a workflow of about 15 activities. When a user presses the home
button to close the whole app I cannot find a way of determining if
the home button has been actuated that would allow me to stop a timer
thread.

I have tried using life cycle methods (onStop(), OnStart() etc) to no
avail because they are always stopping and starting when the app is
running correctly anyway and I do not know the activity being viewed
at the time of actuating the home button either.

I know there are many posts about this issue, but nevertheless I
cannot seem to solve it.

[android-developers] iosched 2011 in zip or tar format

[Droid]

Trying to get iosched 2011 source for eclipse project in a simple zip
format. Its at http://code.google.com/p/iosched/source/browse/ but its
using hg -arrrhhh. Its a lazy request of mine I know, but I do not
have enough brain RAM to learn hg at this point. Or a github ref? Most
ioscheds on github are 2010 - arrrg.

[Droid]

OK, OK, answering my own question. I have found it (I think) at:
https://github.com/underhilllabs/iosched2011 Looks like the right one.
Thanks to underhill.

Now to try it out.

[android-developers] A timer thread and url fetch thread in same activity.

[Droid]

I am having problems with a timer that should fetch http results from
the web every 5 minutes.
I having problems with two threads - often I cannot even turn them off
or keep the timer going without upsetting the apple cart.

Should I start using wait() and notify(), a separate service or
continue trying to get them to be friends with each other in the same
activity. At present its all very badly behaved and I feel as though I
am juggling with marbles.

[android-developers] Voice Recognition - cannot suppress the visual modal dialogue

[Droid]

I am trying to use google voice recognition in purely sound mode, BUT
it displays a very annoying dialogue that often requires user to tap a
'speak again' button - i.e. it cannot be sound only operated and needs
a sighted user.

I want to handle all options through sound only but there is no way to
disable that dialogue.

Any pointers for me here?

(I know about hands free software, but I am trying to use voice
recognition in my App)

[android-developers] Re: facing problem in JSON (http) connection

[Droid]

The key part of your log is:
org.json.JSONException: End of input at character 0 of

This means it does not think its input is a JSON type format.
I had the same error and ended up using some different code
but never bothered to sort out exactly what was going wrong - sorry.

Here is my code that works for Twitter. Maybe you can see something::

private Thread checkUpdate = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {  /
  //String Text = URLEncoder.encode(Android, UTF-8);
//  
http://cloudcollaboration.appspot.com/SecondGetter?content=qaz
URL updateURL = new URL(http://search.twitter.com/
search.json?q=+string_from_speaker);
// Log.d(, 44 + Text);
URLConnection conn = updateURL.openConnection();
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new
BufferedInputStream(is);
ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(50);
int current = 0;
while((current = bis.read()) != -1){
baf.append((byte)current);
}
/* Convert the Bytes read to a String. */
html = new String(baf.toByteArray());
// Log.d(, 3 + html);
mHandler.post(showUpdate);
} catch (Exception e) {
tv1.setText( having trouble getting online);
}
}
};
private Runnable showUpdate = new Runnable(){
public void run(){

try {
jObject = new JSONObject(html);
JSONArray sessions = jObject.getJSONArray(results);
for (int i = 0; i  sessions.length(); i++) {
JSONObject session = sessions.getJSONObject(i);
Tweet tweet = new Tweet();
tweet.content = session.getString(text);
tweet.author = session.getString(from_user);
tweets.add(tweet);
}

[android-developers] simultaneous download of files - best way to handle it

[droid-stricken]

Hi All,

I am writing an application targeting API level 9 or higher. So, i
have decided to go with DownloadManager Class that SDK offers.

My question is 2 part -
1. When i am downloading a single file, how do i display the progress
of the download. I see i can get COLUMN_TOTAL_SIZE_BYTES and
COLUMN_BYTES_DOWNLOADED_SO_FAR from the querying the download manager
instance. But i am not sure if i have to put the query in a thread and
implement a loop so that i can poll regularly to update the progress
bar. I guess, i am not sure, how to query regularly - will it go in
the main thread or be implemented as a runnable - the mechanism i am
not clear.

2. If i have to support multiple file downloads, then do i have to
launch each one of them in it's own thread?

Thanks.

cumbersome.

[android-developers] Re: emulator too slow

[Droid]

You can reduce the screen size of the emulator - from SDK Manager and
launch button.
A small screen size is generally faster all round.

[android-developers] I need portrait only for all screen sizes except xlarge screen size which needs to be landscape only

[Droid]

I cannot seem to find a solution to fix everything in portrait except
xlarge (1275) which needs to be fixed in landscape.
I have 4 main layout xml files in four folders (small, normal, large,
xlarge). Each main layout shares an activity, so I have four
activities. This is difficult to explain let alone solve.

Maybe easy but I cannot find a solution..

[android-developers] Re: I need portrait only for all screen sizes except xlarge screen size which needs to be landscape only

[Droid]

Answering my own question here:

The manifest attribute: android:screenOrientation=nosensor is ideal.
What it does is fix the screen orientation to the preferred one.
This is great because Honeycomb it chooses landscape and other
phones - well whatever is the default orientation.

(I had a MOM error when orientation changed, that's why I needed it)

:)
