Apparently bindFavorites() aims only to retrieve the favorite application. Since we don't have this file /system/etc/favorites.xml, we are not obliged to manage it.
What I did is: - initialize mFavorites at the top and - fill it from favReader only if favReader != null. of course at the step: mApplicationsStack.setFavorites(mFavorites); mFavorites is an empty list. But this will prevent the crash in ApplicationsStackLayout.stackApplications(List<ApplicationInfo> applications, int childLeft, int childTop) applications (comes from mFavorites) is then not null. private void bindFavorites(boolean isLaunching) { if (!isLaunching || mFavorites == null) { if (mFavorites == null) { mFavorites = new LinkedList<ApplicationInfo>(); } else { mFavorites.clear(); } FileReader favReader = null; // Environment.getRootDirectory() is a fancy way of saying ANDROID_ROOT or "/system". final File favFile = new File(Environment.getRootDirectory (), DEFAULT_FAVORITES_PATH); try { favReader = new FileReader(favFile); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Couldn't find or open favorites file " + favFile); } if (favReader != null) { final Intent intent = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null); final PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager(); try { ... } catch (XmlPullParserException e) { Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Got exception parsing favorites.", e); } catch (IOException e) { Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Got exception parsing favorites.", e); } } } mApplicationsStack.setFavorites(mFavorites); } This works fine for me. I'd like to simulate the /system/etc/favorites.xml Anyone knows it format ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-framework" group.
