This crash can be reproduced when you type more than 80 characters in URL (no spaces and no commas). This doesnt happen in emulator. When you load "http://aac.jetcitylounge.groovera.com/"; on ur desktop browser you can see it fetches a page with URL more than 80 characters. So i guess its not a bug in Http error codes.

Of Eclipse?, yup, I'm using the 64 bit Coca build. I don't know if there is a 64 bit ADT, I just use what I'm offered in the Eclipse "Install Software" dialog. As a side note; my Macbook Pro runs everything it can in 64 bit mode (inc. the kernel), which isn't a common configuration and so might be an influencing factor, but I wouldn't have thought it would have such a noticeable effect, and it certainly doesn't have a similar effect on anything else I use (J2EE, Amazon plugin, Subversion, ...)

Broadcast will only work if your activity is in the foreground.

If your activity is currently in the foreground, you need to listen to broadcasts.

[android-developers] Re: GLES/IntBuffer/?? Mis-placed verts?
and no, it's not 'the last triangle in the mesh' Seems fairly evenly distributed in that way, so I no longer blame my ShortBuffer (at least not in that way). It does maybe have a sweet spot though. the last few failures I have seen have all occured when looking just shy of due east (88 degrees from north, where north in my coord system is (0, 0, -1); so the failure is when looking about (.9, 0, 0 ). But now I have a cool texture diagnostic mode to more easily identify exactly which triangle I am looking at, so that's nice :-) I know, I will just prevent the camera from looking in that direction! turn turn SNAP turn turn SNAP. I can have a little on- shoulder-conscience-pet that hits you in the head when you get close to looking in the bad direction. The actual visual defect looks more like a triangle that is intersecting the near plane, more so than simply gone. But there is no way this triangle would be intersecting the near plane. It's like one of the verts is suddenly mis-placed "behind the camera" (again, static vertex buffer, the vert has not really moved, only the camera has moved). Well, only the transform has changed. Definitely a bug, just only 99% sure it's not mine :-) ON another note, I think this game just started to be fun today. Which is to say, it's now possible to get killed if you're not careful. Plus the code is still young enough that's it's all pretty and organized and easy to understand.

[android-developers] Re: Activity within TabActivity: onResume not always called when tab selected?
It works. The exact code is:
public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
if(TAG_B.equals(tabId)) {
MyBActivity bActivity = (MyBActivity
)getLocalActivityManager().getActivity(tabId);
bActivity.refreshFromDB();
}
}
However it is a bit strange that onResume is not called. It would be a much
nicer solution.

[android-developers] Finalizing a Cursor that has not been deactivated or closed non-fatal error
Hello all,
i'm getting a "Finalizing a Cursor that has not been deactivated or
closed" error on this piece of code.
The code is used to fill a listview.
Since it's a non-fatal error , there is no crash and all works
fine..but i don't like a error.
If i close the cursor at the end of this code..the listview stay's
empty.
if i close the cursor in onStop , i get the same error.
How do i fix this??
private void updateList() {
DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
db.open();
//load all waiting alarm
mCursor=db.getTitles("state<2");
setListAdapter(new MyCursorAdapter(this, mCursor));
registerForContextMenu(getListView());
db.close();
}

[android-developers] Re: GLES/IntBuffer/?? Mis-placed verts?
Well, with that special hubris that comes just before you realize you did something super stupid: "no, the code is PERFECT!" :-) For some reason, I found some other threads talking about this (sort of) AFTER making my post (I looked first, honest!), but I guess those were sort of off-topic comments, so maybe a new post just for this is not a huge sin. I should mention I do not have the issue in the emulator (when I can stomach running at 4 fps), just on my Droid. (and maybe not on the Eris, the only other test phone I have), so this might be a Droid- specific issue. So far, I have only noticed it on my terrain, though the same code is used to render other meshes in the game (the poseable-skeleton characters, for example). It's possible it happens there as well and I just haven't noticed yet (I mean, if it's a Droid bug, I would think it would have some probability of happening on any of my meshes). But the terrain mesh has fairly large triangles, which is why I am willing to suspect a math overflow issue. Still, lots of nearby triangles, sharing the same verts, will be non-problematic. I guess the most LIKELY explanation would be the short index buffer. something like the first or last entry in the list, maybe. I lied a little implying there was just one terrain mesh, when really the full terrain is tiled with multiple meshes, and I haven't tried using goofy texturing to help identify if this is always a particular corner of such a mesh (i.e. first/last triangle). I guess I will try that now. But to answer your question, I pass the gl check stuff when I turn it on. And again, all the buffers are completely static, so their content should not be flakily changing. If I had bad numbers in the buffers, I would expect the problem to be pretty constant. - Dan On Jun 13, 1:21 pm, Frank Weiss wrote: > I'm no GL expert by far, but is there possibly a debug or logging mode > which might expose a calculation or data error? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] GLES/IntBuffer/?? Mis-placed verts?
so... I have a simple terrain mesh which, generally speaking, works fine. But as I walk around, occasionally, from some camera angles, a triangle of that mesh is clearly being rendered incorrectly. As if one of its verts has moved (considerably). But the vertex IntBuffer has not changed. (nor any of the other buffers associated with that drawElements call) I can change my heading and the badness will come and go at the same point. If I move a bit or change heading, it will fix itself. --- So same code, same data, but from some locations and some view directions, one triangle will be messed up. As if GLES is mis-reading the vertex buffer (again, whose contents are calculated once and never changed) And I will go so far as to say it is never more than one triangle at a time (though I can't prove that). I can also fantasize it might be some internal math overflow dealing with the integer coordinates (I mean the "one = 1<<16" form). The Index buffer (a ShortBuffer) is also constant. But mis-reading that could also lead to wackiness. It's.. weird. But luckily, it's also rare. Just disturbing to see a hole in the terrain that ought not be there. - Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

If you just want to dim out the entire activity like dialog does, you can do somethung like that by for example implementing dispatchDraw() at the root to draw a transparent dark layer on top.

Re: [android-developers] Service Vs Thread
The problem appears to mainly be the formulation of the question. In Android, an application doesn't run - it's just a collection of resources. Of those resources, Activities and Services can run, but their runtimes are relatively brief. Please try to explain what your application needs to do when it has no visible Activity. The recommended solution would depend on that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Service Vs Thread
Thanks you so much for this clarification ,,exactly I want to make an application that keeps running while the user may went of the main application ,,and I guess Service will be the best candidate for doing that ,,, But what if the application will take much time ,,so should I make a thread that embedded inside it a Service??

[android-developers] Content provider implementation questions
Hi, All I'm now trying to implement my own content provider. My original data was stored on network or local/remote file systems, so I want to provide data via input stream. I know that client may call ContentResolver.getnputStream to retrieve the input stream to access data. But I don't know how to implement content provider in this situation, I searched the Internet but all the tutorials for content provider are talks about how to expose data that stored on local database. Could anyone please help me on this or give me some code snippets to show how to expose data that stored on file systems using a content provider? Also could anyone please tell me what happened when client call ContentResolver.getnputStream? I want to know how to return an input stream to my client.

One thing that I forgot: if you need to have something to keep on running while the user goes from one of your activities to the other, then you may also need a service. But the best would be that you explain what you are trying to do. > As you may see, "background" here means something quite different, because a > service never runs in a dedicated /thread/.

Re: [android-developers] Service Vs Thread

A thread, in Java but also in many other languages, allows for parallelization within a single program/process, that is: doing several things at the same time. If your program has a GUI and needs to do something heavy then you need to do it in the "background" and thus within a separate thread, to avoid freezing the UI. But this thread will terminate when your program terminates. A service, in Android, is something which runs even when the application is not in the foreground, that is: it continues to run when the user leaves your activity and returns to home, or when the phone goes to sleep. If you don't need this then you don't need a service. As you may see, "background" here means something quite different, because a service never runs in a dedicated /thread/. By default it runs in the main application thread, and may optionally run in a separate /process/: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Service.html -- Olivier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] App not showing in Market - 2.1, not copy protected
Hi all,
People are having problems finding my app (Advanced Map Live
Wallpaper) in the Android Market. It's free, not copy-protected, and
the only requirement is SDK level 7 or above. However, it's invisible
on some Nexus 2.1 devices, a lot of Droids (2.1), and a smattering of
other phones.
The fact it disappears seems to be completely random, and it's driving
me nuts because I don't know if it's a misconfiguration by me
somewhere or a Market problem. I know there's been an issue for copy-
protected apps, but I can't see how this applies to me.
* Copy protection is off
* It's set to list in all locations
* It's free
* It's not localised ("Localized to: unknown")
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Dave.

[android-developers] Re: Slow Eclipse on OS X
Al, Exactly the same thing happens to me on OS X. I've accepted that I need to restart Eclipse every so often to solve the problem. It's particularly exacerbated if using the XML tools - for example, layout or editing the manifest file the "friendly" way. Dave.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Service Vs Thread
Services Run in the background as stated here *Services*A *service* doesn't have a visual user interface, but rather runs in the background for an indefinite period of time http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html So my question is when to use Services and When to Use threads ??...and Can I make services inside threads??

[android-developers] Re: Service Vs Thread
Services obviously don't run on the UI thread. It runs in the background. However, Services have their own lifecycle, and can be easily managed by applications. You can think of Services as an extension of threads, in the sense that both of them do not run on the UI thread.
