Setting width/height on the FrameLayout is a problem. It's an AppWidget so I don't really know the size. How does this affect the offset of the child?

[android-developers] ProgressBar with moving image. Drawable resource using .
I'am trying to make a ProgressBar with a moving needle. Since it's in a app-widget I can't make any custom code. It all needs to be done with Drawables. Creating a rotating ProgressBar is easy, just use . But to move a needle image I've tried , it gives an error "invalid drawable tag translate".

[android-developers] Re: One local service multiple binding activities
On further investigation. It works fine, unless a TabActivity/TabHost launches the Activity that calls bindService.

[android-developers] One local service multiple binding activities
I have a local Service to which multiple activites needs to bind. In the first launched Activity, bindService returns true and onServiceConnected is called. But in any additionally launched activites bindService returns false, and I can't get a reference to my Service. How can multiple activities simultaneously be connected to a local Service? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Stop AlarmManager sending past repeating alarm.
When the device awakens from sleep state the AlarmManager sends all "missed" alarms. Can I prevent this from happening, grouping past alarm to a single intent instead? There is an intent extra "android.intent.extra.ALARM_COUNT" which seems to suggest it's possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: AlarmManager starting service, API Level?
Thanks. I'am using the AlarmManager to send PendingIntent.getService with a "Explicit Intent" to an IntentService. Read this post from July 2008: "The "Alarm Service" sample code in ApiDemos at http://code.google.com/android/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/google/androi... is intended to provide the best practices for this. The current example is a little overly complex because of the need of the intermediate receiver. In a future SDK where you can have the alarm manager directly start a service, this is a lot cleaner."

[android-developers] AlarmManager starting service, API Level?
I've read comment that the AlarmManager in a earlier API version couldn't start services. Prior to which API Level was that? I'am currently testing in the emulator with API Level 4 and it start a service just fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: service intent-filter
Wow. Quick reply. Thanks.
Ok. So to let the service act on the "broadcast" intents I'll forward
them in the BroadcastReceiver:
public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) {
context.startService(intent.setClass(context, MyService.class));
}
Is that good practice?

I've got a IntentService started by an alarm. I also want it to start on other intents, like ACTION_TIME_CHANGED. Do I have to create an BroadcastReceiver that start the service when it receivers the TIME_SET intent, can't the service be started by the intent in the first place.
