Create a new layout that looks better in landscape mode...  You can have

[android-developers] eclipse/sdk combo crash

[Keith Wiley]

If I right-click the res folder of a project, I can create a menu
folder.  If I right click that folder and try to create a menu.xml
file, eclipse hangs.  I have to force quit it.  After relaunching
eclipse, menu.xml is there.  I've seen this behavior on two different
computers now.  If I then try to open the empty menu.xml to edit it,
on one computer eclipse hangs again, although on the other it opens
and I can then edit the file.

I'm running eclipse Helios and the very latest Android SDK 3.0.  Both
computers are running Snow Leopard although one is a core 2 duo
(macbook) and the other is an i7 (macbook pro).

Anyone else run into this?

Re: [android-developers] startActivity from a Fragment doesn

[Dianne Hackborn]

There is nothing special about calling this from a fragment; all it is doing
is calling the containing activity's startActivity().

If you say the logcat is showing the first activity being started again,
then most likely you are calling startActivity() somewhere and causing that.

No they remain in the .apk, and you must use the AssetManager APIs to access

[android-developers] Re: ActionBar problems

[Jake Wharton]

Going to throw a shameless plug...

If you're looking to implement the action bar design pattern on all 
platforms in your app I have written a library which automatically abstracts 
and marshalls interactions to either the native ActionBar on 3.0+ or a 
custom third-party control on pre-3.0. You can find it at 
https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/.

If you only want the ActionBar on 3.0+, simple omit passing in a custom 
handler and your applications layout will be shown untouched on pre-3.0 
devices.

There are a few samples as well as a good bit of documentation. Let me know 
how you fare if you choose to use it.

[android-developers] Re: Developers Phone Program

[Kevin TeslaCoil Software]

I root all my phones. Root lets you access your app's data directory,
which is handy for viewing/editing a database or shared preferences
file.

But I don't run custom roms (Unless I'm actually tested something
related to that rom). Custom roms definitely can lead to ridiculous
problems.

I've gotten several phones from craigslist and ebay. Popular phones
can be much cheaper there and you don't need to deal with contracts or
activation fees or anything.

[android-developers] Starting an Android App from a Website

[perumal316]

Hi All,

Is it possible to start an Android App from a browser. I would like to
create a website that has a button, and whenever the button is pushed,
an android application already previously installed have to start.

Is this possible? In some of the earlier post here, it was mentioned
that Intent can be used for this.

But in my website how to I linked it up to the Android application?
Using Intent or is it Intent Filter to register my app as can be
accessible from a browser? How do I do it?

Sorry couldn't find much info regarding this.

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal

Sounds you're already doing it with onSaveInstanceState. If you have
Singletons, the whole point behind them is they are initialized on access if
they're not already. If you need to do some kind of set up on them, do lazy
initialization, where you always check if it's valid and initialize if
necessary.

[android-developers] Widget and Changing Orientation

[Jake Colman]

My app is designed to use a 2x1 widget in Portrait mode.  When the phone
is switched to landscape mode, that same 2x1 widget looks pretty bad: it
becomes wide and short so that the two lines of text overlap one
another.

What is the basic approach one is supposed to take for this situation?
Some big picture pointers would be helpful to point me to an approach on
how this situation is usually handled.

Thanks.

No, I am not.

My application is composed of a broadcast receiver (an appwidget), a
service that does most of the work, an activity that is displayed when
the widget is tapped, and a preference activity that is displayed from a
menu on the first activity and is also the configuration activity.

I tried my divide by zero failure in the broadcast receiver and in the
preference activity.  In both cases I get ANR.

Does any of this make any sense?

Not every app is .99. But I think we pretty much agree about the
trust.

(So, are your beta testers ones that you've known since childhood?)

If this is after the fact, it's no problem sending them a reward after
they've been loyal beta testers. If what they did is worth $X dollars,
then whether they spend that on your app is their business.

Maybe you wouldn't want to setup a web page where you fill out a form
and it spits out a certificate, though. Also, I don't think you should
send out the codes.

Likewise, I wouldn't send it to 1000 people just to see who turns out
to be trustworthy.

I'm not talking from experience here. I haven't offered *anything* to
my beta testers. They get involved if they want to genuinely improve
the product.

Where I might use the idea is for nonprofit groups that want to use my
app, reviewers, or people who are influential at certain retail
outlets. They may not actually use it, but it's an advertising
expense.

Once you want to give it away to thousands of people, though, you
might consider whether there is a better use for $300-1000 in
advertising costs.

So anyway, String, your idea is awesome, despite these nitpicky
limitations. I may try it.

[android-developers] Re: ActionBar problems

[Zsolt Vasvari]

Here's my class that accesses 3.0 related functionality.  This is for
the invalidateOptionsMenu API which is now needed on 3.0 to update the
Action Bar properly:

public class SDKLevel11Bridge
{
private static final SDKLevel11Interface intf;


private interface SDKLevel11Interface
{
void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity);
}


private static class SDKLevel11Interface4 implements
SDKLevel11Interface
{
SDKLevel11Interface4()
{
// Default constructor
}


@Override
public void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity)
{
// Nothing
}
}


private static class SDKLevel11Interface11 implements
SDKLevel11Interface
{
SDKLevel11Interface11()
{
// Default constructor
}


@Override
public void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity)
{
activity.invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
}


// Can't instantiate this class
private SDKLevel11Bridge()
{
// Nothing to do
}


static
{
if (SDKLevelUtil.isAtLeastLevel11())
intf = new SDKLevel11Interface11();
else
intf = new SDKLevel11Interface4();
}


public static void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity)
{
intf.invalidateOptionsMenu(activity);
}
}


And the when I need to call the 3.0 API, I just do a:

SDKLevel11Bridge.invalidateOptionsMenu(this);   // "this" is the
current Activity

Re: [android-developers] is it possible to disable the home key for an activity?

[Ahsanul Karim]

Please check the Toddler Lock application. They can disable the Home key.
Check this out https://market.android.com/details?id=marcone.toddlerlock

Whenever Home key pressed the intent is:
Intent {
act=android.intent.action.MAIN
cat=[android.intent.category.HOME
flg=0x1020
cmp=com.android.launcher/.Launcher
}

For the Toddler Lock app
Logcat shows:
Intent {
act=android.intent.action.MAIN
cat=[android.intent.category.HOME
flg=0x1020
cmp=marcone.toddlerlock/.LockScreen
}

I am trying with a BroadcastReceiver. But I think the Intent priority
to register the receiver doesn't allow to set priority more than the
Launcher. I might be wrong. But as they did it (although the app
doesn't work in Samsung devices) it is feasible of course.

I am guessing there is some missing link.

Please share your ideas.

[android-developers] Re: replacing a fragments not working

[jotobjects]

We did switch to using FrameLayout for other reasons (have not tried
replace() with that yet).  LinearLayout works if you want to add and
remove the last View in the LinearLayout.

FragmentTransaction.replace() is used in samples in these files -
- FragmentsStack.java
- Fragments.Layout.java
- FragmentPreferences.java

Thanks for the tips

On Mar 24, 9:34 pm, Justin Anderson  wrote:

Personally, I rather prefer their descriptions of my apps to their
own. I can understand why one would get annoyed if the descriptions
started getting misleading, but there is no questions that they have
some good writers working on this.

As for their control of pricing, I am taking a wait and see approach
to this. Early on in the process, I had a sales rep from Amazon call
me trans-atlantic in order to resolve some of the issues I had with
their store (now THAT is what I call developer support); so I got the
full argument/spiel for their approach on the appstore. Essentially
what I felt the argument boiled down to is: Amazon knows how to sell
stuff (which involves things like handling pricing). You know how to
develop stuff. Let us each focus on our core competence.

To me, that is a rational and sound argument - assuming both sides are
interested in a win-win solution. I know I am no salesman. Any
opportunity also carries risks, and in this case I see no problem with
giving Amazon the chance to prove their ideas (and if I don't feel the
results are worth it, I'll simply pull my apps from their store in
future).

That being said, there are many issues with their market still; the
releasing process has been mentioned (~2 weeks for approval is really
too long) and there are lots of other niggling issues (large and
small). The difference here is that if you send in some feedback/
questions/issues, you will in fact actually receive a non-automated
reply (at least that has been the case for me so far). The fact that
they actually appear to listen, gives me hope that many of these
issues will eventually get fixed and resolved.

In terms of adjusting the app for the market, it worked out fairly
easy for me simply by developing the core app as an Android library
and then building the market specific parts into separate projects.
Your mileage will vary, of course.

Michael A.

Generally speaking, this is incorrect, AFAICT. The action bar is no
different than anything else in Android.

Perhaps you need to try another backwards-compatibility approach. Here
is a sample project that uses getActionView() -- an HC-only action
bar-related method -- successfully on HC and works correctly on
earlier Android versions:

Re: [android-developers] Re: Gift certificate or something like that

*> Either way you're out $0.99, either directly or through the lack of a

I want to reward my beta testers.  But I'm a single developer without a lot
of resources...  If I get a lot of beta testers there can be a fairly large
difference between giving them the app for free and actually buying a gift
certificate so they can buy it.  As another poster mentioned, Amazon takes
their cut so you are at least out that much... and that can add up pretty
quick, especially if you have an app that is more than $0.99.  (I don't
right now... just saying it can make a difference and is not the same thing)

[android-developers] Re: Beta Tester Infrastructure Project

[Open]

Getting back to this after a few weeks of other Android work.

The form includes the question:
Would you be willing to pay for this service? Yes/No
No, indicates you would not be willing to pay for the service and
would only use it if it were free.

I updated the third question:
How much would you be willing to pay per app?
To include options of $0, <$1, etc., etc.

Seems like there isn't a ton of interest though.  Other devs must have
their own methods for beta testing (or don't beta at all).

[android-developers] Re: Amazon Appmarket is now open!

[Indicator Veritatis]

Your argument would be more compelling if you could spell the name of
the market you mention correctly: it is "SlideMe.com", not
"SlimeMe.com"!

Though I have to say: that latter would make a good name for a website
with a rather different purpose, such as spreading slimey accusations
of people...

Crashing is caused by exceptions. Not responding ("ANR") is caused by
locking up the main UI thread. You're not stuck on a break point in the
debugger are you?

[android-developers] Re: How do i upload the file from android mobile to public server

[Nicholas Johnson]

There are several FTP apps that can do just that. Astro file manager can 
create SFTP connections to upload files, or AndFTP... (there's a whole bunch 
if you search for FTP on the Android Market).

If you're talking about uploading a file to a public server from an app 
you're developing, then you can use HTTP POST methods or a custom built FTP 
uploader.

[android-developers] Re: creating a driver application

[Indicator Veritatis]

But this should not be necessary: a camera shows up in USB with a
different device type than a disk drive. Or are you saying there is a
bug in Anroid that it fails to check this, and treats a connected USB
device as a disk drive no matter what? I have certainly seen no such
bug in Android 2.2 running on a phone.

Also, see Chris Paget's blog on how to connect a USB keyboard to an
Android Motorola Droid at http://www.tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124. That
won't solve the problem, but it will give the OP a better idea of the
space he has to work in.

[android-developers] ActionBar problems

[Brion Emde]

Hi All,

We're trying to use ActionBars on Honeycomb and stay backward
compatible with earlier code. Everything seemed to be fine when we
just used the default behaviors, like the upgrade of options menus to
show in the action bar as Actions.

But then the requirements got broader and they wanted us to start
styling the action bar, setting its background, adding the "go to
home" indicator to the icon and other things and we lost our backwards
compatibility.

I've been trying to figure it out and saw this paragaph in the "using
action bars" document:

---

In this example, the application requires a minimum version of API
Level 4 (Android 1.6), but it also targets API Level 11 (Android 3.0).
This way, when the application is installed on a device running
Android 3.0 or greater, the system applies the holographic theme to
each activity, and thus, each activity includes the Action Bar.

However, if you want to use Action Bar APIs, such as to add tabs or
modify Action Bar styles, you need to set the android:minSdkVersion to
"11", so you can access the ActionBar class.

---

This seems to say that if we want to talk to the ActionBar directly,
i.e. use the Action Bar API, that we have to set our minSdkVerion="11"
in the manifest.

I'm having an argument with my boss, who thinks that since it "works"
on Honeycomb, that the above excerpt does not apply to us. But I point
out that when I comment out the code that tries to talk to the action
bar directly, then I don't get Verify Errors on pre-Honeycomb devices.
Everything used to work fine before we started trying to talk to the
Action Bar directly.

So, does that section, specifically the second paragraph that starts
with "However", which seems to modify the paragraph before it, really
apply? If so, why can we talk to the ActionBar on Honeycomb devices,
despite our minSdkVersion="8".

Our access to the action bar is wrapped in a wrapper class, as
described in the "backwards compatilibility" article.

Thanks!!

Why are things never easy - at least for me?

I installed ACRA so that I can trap my crashes.  If I throw an exception
it works fine.  But if I try something else such as divide by zero, and
accessing a null object, I get a force close due to activity not
responding.  That form of crash is NOT caught by ACRA.

This not an ACRA question.

What determines whether Android thinks I crashed via a thrown exeception
or not responding because of divide by zero?

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but you kind of need to trust your beta testers 
anyway, no? If they "run off" with your $0.99, that's probably a good - and 
cheap, actually - indication that they shouldn't be in your beta group.

One possible flaw: you probably can't dictate what they can use the
gift certificate. It is pretty much the equivalent of giving them
cash.

If I did this, though, it would be a case of just trusting them. On
the other extreme, if it came out that you could get an $X gift
certificate at Amazon just for *saying* that you will beta test
something.

What's the difference between giving the user $0.99 gift certificate and
issuing them a promo code that give's them the app ($0.99) for free? Either
way you're out $0.99, either directly or through the lack of a sale.

Once you have the id, you can call WifiManager.enableNetwork /

Re: [android-developers] Re: Newbie: Widget onUpdate called only on creation

[Kostya Vasilyev]

You can use AlarmManager, however, think twice before doing this, as too 
frequent updates can drain the battery.


A much better solution is to only update your widgets in response to 
events in your application or phone.


A widget provider is actually a subclass of BroadcastReceiver, and you 
can list more intent filters in the manifest than the required 
APPWIDGET_UPDATE. You can watch all kinds of events with this.


If you need to update your widgets in response to events that take place 
in your application, you can actually do it directly, bypassing onUpdate 
completely, by using AppWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds and 
updateAppWidget(int widgetId, RemoteViews views).

another way to update the widget in shorter intervals?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Amazon Appmarket is now open!

[Justin Anderson]

At least they are consistent with all of their different stores though...
The main things people are complaining about are that the descriptions get
edited and they essential have full control over price.

They also do this with anything else that is listed on their website...  If
they changed it for the AppStore I'm sure they would get a lot of grief from
the other aspects of their business.

Re: [android-developers] AlarmManager doesnot fire after device get Boot-up

[Kostya Vasilyev]

AlarmManager alarms are lost after a reboot or power down/up cycle.

Implement a receiver for BOOT_COMPLETED, and reset the alarms as needed.

Hi,
I am developing a application that requires to go for server call 2

after every 12 hours. The application runs fine and I receive
broadcast every 12 hours. But when I switch off and switch on my
mobile, the alarmmanger doesnot fire up. It seems like either
alarmmanager erases all the data after mobile phone is switch off or
broadcast receiver is cancelled.
I want alarmmanger to be consistent and once set up the alarm timing
it should call my receiver even after boot-up.

Please help me out how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for

Re: [android-developers] bindService and onSeriveConnected behaviour

[Kostya Vasilyev]

24.03.2011 15:25, Sambhav ?:
After successful connection to the serivce the *onServiceConnected 
*callback is called.
So unitl this callback is called the activity should be blocked 
from making any calls to the Service.


Correct.

Except not "blocked", just "unable to call a bound service until it's 
actually bound".


Now if I do a sleep in the Activity in order to wait till 
*onServiceConnected *is called , *onServiceConnected *gets called 
after the sleep is over.


Don't ever call sleep() or wait() in the UI thread.

From my observation it looks like *onServiceConnected* is getting 
called in the same thread as the Activity.


Yes.

Review the fundamentals here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/processes-and-threads.html#Threads

So I am not able to block the Acitivity to make call to the Serive 
until the it is successfully connected.


Don't block the activity. Return back to Android from whatever callback 
you were in when you called bindService.


The framework will call your service connection's onServiceConnected 
when it happens.

It doesn't solve the 30% problem, but otherwise, it seems to me that there's a

[android-developers] Neighboroughing cells never there.

[Spike66]

Hi
I have written an application in which I wish to interogate the
NeighboringCellInfo.
I can retrieve the cell info Ok, including cell id, signal strength
etc.
I have declared the Telephony manager as follows:

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
try
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

..and so on.

In a following thread, I try to get the Neighboroughing cell info:

List  neighCell = null;
neighCell = tm.getNeighboringCellInfo();
int noNCells=neighCell.size();
for (int i = 0; i < (noNCells-1); i++)
{
try
{
   NeighboringCellInfo thisCell = 
neighCell.get(i);
int thisNeighCID = thisCell.getCid();
int thisNeighRSSI = thisCell.getRssi();
int thisNeighLac = thisCell.getLac();

...and so on.

The problemi is that I don't ever detect any neighboroughing cells.
What have I missed- could someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers

[android-developers] Easy Facebook Android SDK

[Magemello]

New free android library for facebook.Those who tried to integrate
facebook features into his own Android application knows that it's not
an easy thing to do. We tested many libraries: FbRocket, FbConnect and
even facebook's official sdk, but their implementation was very
complicated or they had very few features. That's why we decided to
create our own library from scratch. Facebook's official sdk will make
you insane while you try to get your Android application's HashSet
while all the unofficial libraries lack all the graph Api features and
doesn't support the pictures upload. The highlights of EASY FACEBOOK
ANDROID SDK are:

* The HashSet Code for Android application isn't needed
* Oauth 2.0 authentication support
* Use the access token
* Pictures upload support
* Supports all the features of Graph API
* It can run any query FQL
* Contains BEAN of all facebook objects
* It's free

Download library : http://www.easyfacebookandroidsdk.com/

[android-developers] Parsing a large amount of data from a xml

[Sebastien S]

Hi,
I'm developping an application where I had to synchronize my phone
with the entreprise server.
The response of the server is a xml file with each record between
 and I had to receive 19000 record.
What's the best way to parse it and add it to my content provider?


At the moment, I do my connection with the server:
[...]
HttpResponse httpResponse;
httpResponse = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();

And then, I parse the input stream:
XMLSyncParser xmlSyncParser = new XMLSyncParser(instream, sharedPrefs,
mContext);
xmlSyncParser.parse(event); // a xml pull parser implementation

The parser, parse it and when he is at the end of the REC element, he
add it to the content provider.


Is there a better way to do it and a way who's taking less time?

Thank you,
Sebastien

[android-developers] Frustrating but quite common taking SNAPSHOT problem

[mathcat]

Taking photos using system provided
component(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE) is quit common.

As Ive experimented, with a certain rate the android system will kill
the snapshot calling Activity to prevent memory related exception, and
the calling activity will be created again where returned. Thus I have
to save the states of the calling Activity via onSaveInstanceState,
and retrieve them via onRestoreInstanceState. (If Im not correct and
there is further info, please point it out)

However, I also found out that, when the killing occurs, all my
information stored in the RAM were ERASED, RESETED, for example those
Singleton class type objects, or static classes and their fields!

This mechanism is so frustrating, how to handle such situation??

[android-developers] Manually destroy view(layout)

[Vidocq]

I'm fighting with memory leaks now. So i'm curious if there any way to
manually destroy view(in onDestroy method) ? The whole layout(activity
contentView) is a bit complex because of parent-child references,
context references, tags, etc.

GC is not able to collect my layout now. And the problem is hiding
deeply in view structure... So the only way to find it - is to try
destroy leaf views manualy so at some moment GC will collect root view
and give me a knowlege of where is problem located.

My layout structure: ViewFlipper(RelativeLayout,
ListView(ViewFlipper(RelativeLayout, RelativeLayout)))

What does the stacktrace say? My initial guess is that you aren't calling

I would like to know if it is possible to develop an app that connects
with a website(s) (not mine) and pull info, news, images...etc, and
display them in the app.

Basically, I want to develop an app that provides latest news,
fixtures, match results...etc of a football club which has a website
on the web.

If more details are required, please let me know.

Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Re: SQLiteDatabase or XML(saving)?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Your data is always on internal storage.  Moving to SD card only moves your
.apk to the SD card.

[android-developers] AlarmManager doesnot fire after device get Boot-up

[Nalin Chhajer]

Hi,
I am developing a application that requires to go for server call 2
times every day. So I used alarmmanager to set up alarm to repeat
after every 12 hours. The application runs fine and I receive
broadcast every 12 hours. But when I switch off and switch on my
mobile, the alarmmanger doesnot fire up. It seems like either
alarmmanager erases all the data after mobile phone is switch off or
broadcast receiver is cancelled.
I want alarmmanger to be consistent and once set up the alarm timing
it should call my receiver even after boot-up.

Please help me out how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for
any help.

[android-developers] Re: Camera is making two photos, MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT

[Jared]

Yeah, I'm having the exact same problem.  I'm using a HTC Droid
Incredible to test this on which is running froyo (Android 2.2) and
any time I use an intent to get a photo in that manner, it puts the
photo where I told it to go, but then also puts a separate file copy
in my "/SDCard/DCIM/100Media/" folder as well as where I told it to go
using my URI. :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Justin,
   I think the same way. But the class is not avaiable in the emulator or 
I'm use the wrong class.

[android-developers] bindService and onSeriveConnected behaviour

[Sambhav]

Hi,

I have an Android Service running as a separate process.
When an Activity is launched , this activity connects to the service.
After successful connection to the serivce the *onServiceConnected *callback
is called.
So unitl this callback is called the activity should be blocked from making
any calls to the Service.

 Now if I do a sleep in the Activity in order to wait till  *onServiceConnected
*is called , *onServiceConnected  *gets called after the sleep is over.
>From my observation it looks like *onServiceConnected* is getting called in
the same thread as the Activity.
So I am not able to block the Acitivity to make call to the Serive until
the it is successfully connected.

Is my observation correct or am I missing something wrong ?

Consider the AIDL

interface IAddService {
void addNos(int num1, int num2);
}

public class HomeScreen extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

connection = new Connection();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("android.service",
android.service.AddService.class.getName());
boolean ret = context.bindService(i, connection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
**
*//Wait till onServiceConnected*
**
*addNos(1,2); //Not able to wait or syncronize until onServiceConnected is
called as the callback is getting called from same thread as the Activity is
running*


class Connection implements ServiceConnection {
 public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder
boundService) {
service = IAddService.Stub.asInterface((IBinder) boundService);
}

}

Regards,
Sambhav

Many of the API demos use this -- for example the stack and layout demos.
 You can look at those and see what you are doing differently.
