If they are passive points, that don't accept user input you should be able to draw an image. If they are active points that do accept user input then you need to work out what is seen on screen and what isn't and limit the number of points shown in general --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] How to draw tracks on gmaps in apps
I've been struggling to efficently draw tracks over the top of maps embedded in my app. I've been redrawing the track with the ondraw method however as the number of points the app and eventually the phone crawls to a halt and I get a bunch of force close/wait messages as a result. I've been toying with the idea to some how draw the track on a bitmap or canvas and every time GPS updates, update the canvas/bitmap and display it as an overlay but I don't really know how I would or should go about this. Does anyone have any tips on doing this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

The easiest way I've found to do this, is you just have a ListArray of a custom object, the object just stores the values you need, and then you can push new values onto the end of the ListArray and pop them off as they are accepted for upload. Also do batch uploads instead of one value at a time, it can be very time consuming uploading one value at a time and waiing for a response from the remote end. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Yes, the digital compass in the G1 is self calibrating, but you have to make figure 8's or similar to make it do it, this isn't something you can do in software, the Android OS has magnetic field projections for the earth and if the current reading falls outside a specific range either something is artificially influencing it, such as the magnetic field in metals or electromagnetic fields caused by electronics and cars etc, or it needs calibration. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Running apps on Android doesn't depend on carriers, unless you want to test data networking, in any case I'd get something other than the HTC Dream/G1 for AT&T if you want data cause AT&T EDGE is so slow it's not funny... The HTC Magic supposedly does 900Mhz which I think AT&T runs 3G over... so will the i7500 and no doubt countless other devices once they start shipping... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Browser Porting for Android
If your only reason is because you can you'd be wasting your time, first of all, all apps on android are java based, mozilla and other browsers aren't java based. You'd be better off extending the existing browser, it's designed to be fast and light, mozilla is bloated and getting bigger and it's the last app I'd want to run on an embedded platform. Check out the bugs plaguing the browser and fix those would be a better use of your time to be honest. 2009/6/17 Chitra > I want to port any open source web browser other than that it > available with android. > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Duplicate processes triggered from ongoing notification
I added a notification for an ongoing process, however when this is clicked on it triggers a duplicate process and when you exit the duplicated process the original copy is re-run by the operating system. The app I'm working on doesn't use the main activity window, except to trigger one of 2 other activities and this might be part of the problem since I noticed the same issue in other applications like AndNav2. My question is, how do I work round the issue to bring the running activity to the front, rather than triggering a new activity, killing the first and then the OS re-runs the first activity when the new one is quit? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
