[android-developers] Re: SDK Tools r12 causing aapt to fail

2011-08-25 Thread Marcus Wolschon
So...what is a good public replacement for
parent="android:WindowTitle" ?
So everything except the few things you change are inherited from
whatever the current platform uses.

Then what would be the benefit left?
Before the download manager you wrote your own UI and did the http-get/

[android-developers] Re: "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1" when using jmDNS.jar

Doesn't that mean that the code is compiled but the jar not included
in the apk
=> class not found error at runtime unless jmDNS is a part of Android.

[android-developers] Sync-Icon not disapearing with my own Sync-adapter

2010-08-26 Thread Marcus Wolschon
Since I have my own sync-adapter on the system (takes about 2 seconds
to sync)
with automatic periodic sync enabled every 4 hours
the black "syncing"-icon is no longer disapearing from the
notification-bar.

Does anyone have an insight why this may be the case?

[android-developers] Authenticator-Accounts gone after reboot!!! due to "Removing non-system package"

2010-08-12 Thread Marcus Wolschon
I am using a custom Authenticator (app1 named
"biz.wolschon.android.dropbox.authenticator")
and a custom SyncAdapter (separate app2)
and a client-application (named "biz.wolschon.android.dropbox.sendto")
very similar to the example at
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SampleSyncAdapter/src/com/example/android/samplesync/authenticator/AuthenticatorActivity.html

Everything works fine until you shutdown and reboot your phone.
The Google-Accounts are still there but the custom accounts
are gone!!!

I am using Android 2.2 on a Nexus One.
What could possible be the reason for such a thing to happen?

[android-developers] SyncAdapter and android:contentAuthority

2010-08-12 Thread Marcus Wolschon
For a SyncAdapter I need to provide a syncadapter.xml like
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SampleSyncAdapter/res/xml/syncadapter.html

in a Manifest like
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SampleSyncAdapter/AndroidManifest.html

1)
What should I enter as "android:contentAuthority" if I am not syncing
the anything that is provided by a content-provider? (In this case I
am syncing files using the account to access a remote system.)

2)
What is the general meaning of "android:supportsUploading"? I cannot
find it documented anywhere.

[android-developers] Share AccountAuthenticator between multiple applications

2010-08-11 Thread Marcus Wolschon

I have 2 applications that both require the same account-type from the
same, custom AccountAuthenticator .

1)
How do I deploy the custom AccountAuthenticator?
Separately or with both applications?
Will it be shown once or twice in the account-manager if supplied by 2
apps?
If supplied separately, how do I reference it as a requirement for the
market?
(App cannot be used without this AccountAuthenticator.)

2)
If I make the AccountAuthenticator-project a library-project, Eclipse
complains
that the service+activity-classes of the entries for the
AccountAuthenticator
are not found on the classpath of the app-project.
It also complains that the xml/auth.xml  -resource supplied by the
library-project is not found
in the Manifest of the app-project.
* I have to add all  and -entries of the library to
the app-project
* The app-project does have the auth-library-project listed as a used
library in eclipse.

[android-developers] deploying AccountAuthenticator for multiple apps

2010-08-09 Thread Marcus Wolschon

How should I go about deploying the same AccountAuthenticator
for multiple projects that use the same kind of account?
Should each project include the AccountAuthenticator as a library-jar
or should it be it's own apk?
What happens if the same AccountAuthenticator is exported
from multiple apks in the system? Are they listed once or
multiple times (thus confusing the user)?

[android-developers] Request different IME for TextEditField

2010-08-07 Thread Marcus Wolschon

Hello,

Background:
In Vespucci (editor for OpenStreetMap) I have input-fields
for key+value. Many people use Swype but that one is broken
with AutoCompleteTextFields as it only transmits finished words
to the TextField and not the individual characters. Thus the list
of autocompletion-results is never updated during typing and
the dictionary learns lots of incomplete words as users press
"enter" before they are actually finished typing.

Question:
Since I cannot fix Swype and my bug-report will not be adressed
any time soon.  Is it possible to force the usage of another keyboard
(e.g. one the user selected in m app's preferences) for the
text-fields in my app to restore user-experience?

So what about all the people NOT on facebook?
No matter how that thing is growing, the complementary
group is still the majority.

1)
Often there is no way to list the changes when people
get an update-notification and ask themself what the benefit of
upating would be. (So it's often not done.)
2)
It's definately too little to explain why your app needs each listed
access-permission. (So not a single app I've seen does that.)
3)
There is no way to answer to comments. People often enter bugs or
wishes there but never update their comment even month later when
a new version already adressed that issue.

[android-developers] How to implement your own LocationProvider

2010-08-03 Thread Marcus Wolschon

Hello,

I would like to implement a new LocationProvider.
In this case, one that uses OpenCellID.org.
I figured the pattern wou be quite similar to providing an
AccountAuthenticator
but was stunned that I could not find any documentation on this.

Looking at the source
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/location/java/android/location/
all the relevant code seems to be in a service providing the
ILocationManager.aidl -interface
that I cannot navigate to or find using Goole Code Search.

Is it supported to provide your own LocationProvider at all?
If so, what do I have to do to acomplish this?

Regards,
Marcus Wolschon
