[android-developers] Problem updating app (dev console)
I have an issue updating an app to a newer production APK. Although the upload worked fine without error and th dev console indicates that the uploaded version is the latest version in prod. After 15h or so the Google Play store dididn't pick the update and still points to the previous version. Then I uploaded a newer APK with the versionCode bumped, and it seems there is still the same problem.

[android-developers] Re: Google Play Services adds nearly 10,000 methods!
Yes, the monolithic structure of the Play Service jar sucks for the reasons you mention. However you can generate a new jar from it with jarjar, extracting only the classes you need and their dependencies. I had to do it for a project that otherwise would hit the 64K dex limit. On Friday, 7 February 2014 22:14:50 UTC+1, Jeff Campbell wrote: We have an app that depends on a lot of libraries, and recently we wanted to integrate Google Maps into our application. We learned that we would have to add the following dependency to our app: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.1.32' Before adding this dependeny, our app had about a 40k method count. After adding this dependency our method count jumped to about 50k (about 10k methods added to our apk!). And, it seems that with every new version of this dependency it grows more and more (we noticed about a 2k growth in the last update). I know that this dependency contains a LOT of different types of services which include things we don't even use (which all contribute to the 10k method count). I know that I can use Proguard to strip out un-needed methods, but in a development environment this just slows down build time, and can make debugging issues difficult. Could the Google Play Services be divided into seperate aar projects? Example: play-services-core (required by all... assuming that there is some shared code) play-services-maps play-services-games play-services-ads play-services-plus play-services-wallet etc Doing this would reduce the risk of apps hitting the 65k method limit cap (seems crazy that a Google library takes 15% of the 65k limit of any single app) Thanks, Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Rating Hijacking !
I have observed something exactly like you describe in my own app. The graph you posted is similar to mine. I had stable ratings since forever until Dec 11th where unexplained 1-star ratings started to appear until the ratings finally stabilized (flat graph) on Dec 21th. At first I though it was an attack from competitors but now I think there might be another explanation. Dec 10th, Google approved a batch of Chromecast apps. My app is an obvious candidate from Chromecast support but of course it is not in the app list Google approved this day. I now think that the unexplained bad ratings came from users expecting Chromecast support. Since I believe your app is a potential candidate for Chromecast support, that could be it. Many CC users do not understand why some apps supports CC already and others do not and go the 1-star route. They just think developers are lazy or something... I wouldn't care too much (unless drop in ratings continue) since your app is rated exceptionnaly high and a 0.03 drop in rating is not going to have much consequence.

All I see on Logcat is:

This is how the Intent is launched:
Intent intent = e.getIntent();
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);

Any ideas?
This is probably because Google Play Service handling this intent is not
installed or not up to date.
This can happen and here's how to handle it :

To sum up, you must call

It seems that inflating views just isn't very fast, even with the binary XML format and stuff. Yes it can be very slow for complex layouts. It is unfortunate that it is not safe to invoke the layout inflater in a thread to preload the layout while displaying a loading screen , to avoid the black screen effect while the app is busy in onCreate() loading the layout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] App startup with heavy initialization and ANR detection
I have an app whose initialization is quite CPU and thread heavy for 3-5s on startup. During that period, the logcat reports several: 08-15 15:33:24.804: I/dalvikvm(8550): threadid=3: reacting to signal 3 08-15 15:33:24.882: I/dalvikvm(8550): Wrote stack traces to '/data/anr/traces.txt' every 500ms or so it seems. AFAIK the main (UI) thread is not blocked as all heavy initialization work is done in threads as it should. However there are a lot of concurrent stuff with many threads hapenning during these 3-5s with the CPU probably at 100%. I suspect that writing '/data/anr/traces.txt' several times on startup further slow it down. I'm asking for details on how the system detect ANRs and in particular under which conditions it produces logcat output above. Is it linked to CPU usage or simply the main thread being blocked ? That is, one or several threads pegging the CPU would give these messages (while the main thread itself is not blocked) ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Instantiating (but not attaching!) a View from a non-UI thread
Interesting discussion but how are we supposed to handle setContentView() (which calle the layour inflater, which instantiates views), taking a lot of time for complex layouts ? In ICS+, if the main UI thread is stuck for more than approx 500ms the system great the app with a super aggressive: 08-15 15:33:24.804: I/dalvikvm(8550): threadid=3: reacting to signal 3 08-15 15:33:24.882: I/dalvikvm(8550): Wrote stack traces to '/data/anr/traces.txt' which further slow down app startup (writing on the SD Card take some time). So if setContentView() takes more than 500ms (not an uncommon occurence), then the system penalize the app even more, writting unwanted stack traces (the app is not ANRing at this stage, it is starting). Since is not safe to call the layout inflater in an AsyncTask to load it in the background while displaying some progress display, this result in Activities displaying a black screen until onCreate() finishes which may be quite some time if setContentView() cannot be executed fast. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Audio Focus, ICS lockscreen controls (RemoteControlClient) and foreground app
I've noticed a weird behaviour with music lock screen appearance and I'm curious to learn if it is a bug or something intended. An app can show music lock screen control if it has the Audio focus and has registered a RemoteControlClient instance with AudioManager.registerRemoteControlClient(). Now consider the following sequence 1. Launch Google Music. It shows the lock screen controls if you display the lock screen. fine 2. Launch another music player like PowerAMP. Make it plays something. It takes the audio focus and shows its lock screen controls if you display the lock screen. fine 3. Go back to Google Music. PowerAMP is still playing music (because Google Music had no reason to take the focus) but the lock screen controls for it are not showing anymore (no lock screen controls at all) Is that normal ? Expected behaviour would be that PowerAMP lock screen controls still show until Google Music take the audio focus but it seems that any app having a RemoteControlClient registered cancel any other RemoteControlClient from a playing background app. Note that the exact same thing happen as described above if you swap Google Music and PowerAMP in the text. I'm asking that question because my app which manage lock screen controls behaves like above, removing the lock screen controls of any background playing app, when my app go into the foreground (without requesting audio focus). PS: the documentation of RemoteControlClient doesn't mention at any point the relation with the audio focus, which is really a glaring omission. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Does this licensing policy have weaknesses?
The thing is that regardless how complex your policy is, if your app is popular, it will be cracked no matter what at the LVL level. My advice is to use a forgiving policy like the LenientPolicy that deny access to the app only if it is 100% sure that the app is unlicensed (eg: Google Play returns NOT_LICENSED). Otherwise (market failure, no network connectivity), is is licensed: http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg107037.html You can protect this policy or another policy of your choosing with inventive ways to CRC-check the APK in multiple places in the code, much more difficult to find for crackers.

[android-developers] HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk messing default app association
Thanks to the geniuses of this world, on some HTC phones (in the US only it seems), HTC has modified the default Intent Chooser to comply with some Apple absurd patents: http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3024889/htc-one-x-evo-4g-lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify The consequence is that the user is presented with a custom Intent Chooser without the Use by default for this action check box. It also has some side effect: I'm using this code to get the default video player app if any: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(http://1.2.3.4/video.avi;), video/*); ResolveInfo resolveInfo = context.getPackageManager().resolveActivity(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY); It works fine on all device but when that HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk is installed, above resolveInfo will point to HtcLinkifyDispatcher itself which when launched, display the custom HTC intent chooser. This makes knowing the default app for video impossible to know as this damn thing hooked the system. As anyone dealt with this and found a workaround, or should I say to my users to live with it (always seeing the HTC app chooser when clicking a video in that case), or to root their phone to uninstall the damn APK ? I would test this myself but the APK seems to be only installable on HTC devices as it uses android:sharedUserId=android.uid.system Many thanks to Apple and HTC for this mess :p. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)
The thing is that it is better to not rely on READ_LOGS to (for example) provide logs to ACRA. The bonus is that your app will not need that permission which is kind of scary. How can it be done ? - wrap all your logging calls into functions adding your log message + any other metadata (like tag or timestamp) to a cache were you keep the last n log lines. Can be done with a simple LinkedHashMap overriding removeEldestEntry(). - modify ACRA by adding a custom column that will contain the content of the log cache. When the crash report is constructed, fill that column with the cache data - profit! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Help with intent-filter
I've written an intent-filter to receive Picasa images shared from the Gallery app on Android 2.x (on 3+ it is not the same intent but this is a different topic): intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.SEND / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / data android:mimeType=text/plain /intent-filter Basically the data (Picasa image URL), is in the EXTRA_TEXT extra. This work fine but it has the side effect that my app also registers in the Youtube app share menu, and my app do not manage youtube links. The difference between the Gallery intent and the Youtube intent is that Youtube add a Url to the intent (pointing to the yoube page). My question is to know if it is possible (and if so how) to restrict the intent above to intent *not* having an Url. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Using HttpClient in Desktop and HttpURLConnection in Android
If you are happy and familiar with HttpClient, use it. But the Android HttpClient client version is old and buggy and unmaintained and I wouldn't use it as is. Hopefully you can use the latest jars from the Apache HttpComponents site, but you will have to repackage them in another package root than org.apache with a tool like JarJar (for example com.mycompany.org.apache...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Showing Overflow menu button on ICS.
Unless I missed something in the previous discussions, or there has
been a breakthrough since, there is NO possible way to make the
overflow button show up if there is a physical hardware key.
There is. With hack below you can force the appearance of the overflow menu
even if there is a physical button menu
with target SDK = 14. Of course you must never use it since it is a
horrible hack, and nobody shall use hacks ever, especially on Android !
static public void setHasPermanentMenuKey(Context context, boolean value) {
if (isICSOrLater()) {
ViewConfiguration config = ViewConfiguration.get(context);
try {
Field f = ViewConfiguration.class
.getDeclaredField(sHasPermanentMenuKey);
f.setAccessible(true);
if (f != null) {
f.set(config, value);
log.info(Successfully hacked permanent menu key);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.info(Unable to hack permanent menu key: + ex);
}
}
}
