[android-developers] Question about assets vs resources
Hi I have many ogg files in my app(around 1mb worth). Currently I'm loading them from my sdcard from a folder that i manualy coppied across. For distribution of my app where should i put the oggs? I tried adding them as resources(R.) but it seemed to make my app take an age to load, would this happen? Is assets the way to go? if so has anyone got an example of loading an oog from assets? i can't get it to work..

[android-developers] Re: Question about assets vs resources
Hi Diane, thanks for the reply Could I have a little clarification please? On app startup would the resources and assets be loaded into memory or only when they are used? Something like this seems to be happening to my app. Since I added the files I had on the sdcard to the assets folder the app takes much longer to load on initial startup. If this is the case I think copying the files to the sdcard on first run might be the way to go (but much more work for monday ;) ) Thanks Simon On Aug 28, 3:06 am, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > Assets and resources are basically the same thing.

[android-developers] Very nasty error for no reason
Hi
I've just changed my app to load an xml file from a raw resource
instead of from the sdcard. Every time i run the app it now fails in a
spectacular way. It just closes down, no exceptions. Log output is
below.
I'm not kidding, all i changed was the way an xml file is loaded. If
change back and it's fine
Please help!
Cheers
Simon

[android-developers] Re: Very nasty error for no reason
Ok i found the problem. But don't ask my why this would cause a
problem, I have no idea!
It stems from me passing the inputstream into a method. This is what i
was doing.
//in the activity
InputStream filestream = null;
filestream = mCtx.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.default_song);
Document songXml = parseSongAsset(filestream);
filestream.close();
//the method i used
public Document parseSongAsset(InputStream filestream ) {
try {
DocumentBuilder docBuilder =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
.newDocumentBuilder();
Document songXml = docBuilder.parse(filestream);
return songXml;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
This is what i did to fix it
//in the activity
Document songXml = parseSongAsset();
//the method
protected Document parseSongAsset() {
try {
InputStream filestream = null;
filestream = mCtx.getResources().openRawResource
(R.raw.default_song);
DocumentBuilder docBuilder =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
.newDocumentBuilder();
Document songXml = docBuilder.parse(filestream);
return songXml;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Anyone got an idea why the the original would break things?
Thanks

Arggh! it seems to be a random error, it just happned again a few
times. If I debug and step through it works fine. If i run normally it
fails.
the code fails when builder.create().show(); is called on the
dialogue
Here's the snippets( i'm using the template pattern to build different
loading objects)
in the activity packbuilder is the xml loader, buildJamPacks is the
method i am updating

Sorry, forgot to say that the method builds everything as expected,
when inspecting objects in the debugger the xml looks good the JamPack
looks good

[android-developers] Re: Very nasty error for no reason
Hi Diane,
I will post a bug report with example code after the developer
challenge monday deadline.
I've found the problem, it seems to be totaly unrelated, but this is
for sure where the problem comes from. I reverted project then added
code line by line.
This is where it went wrong: (this is in onCreate() )
Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/
ds_digi.ttf");
//mode.setTypeface(face);
When I comment out "mode.setTypeface(face);" the application fails.
When I put it back in the app works fine(or if I delete the whole
block)
The app does not fail at this point, but later on, in a seemingly
unrelated operation.
I can't believe i've spent 10 hours on this :(. 10 hours I could have
been improving my app.
Anyway, thats life I suppose! At least i can now finish it.
Thanks
Simon

[android-developers] Problems with ADC upload
Hi I've been trying to upload my adc submission.

Cheers for the input everyone. In the end it turned out to be a weird upload permissions issue on my vista machine. I've still not got to the bottom of it but I can't upload any files to any website.

[android-developers] Re: Hmm... at last ADC2 is out of our way ... tell about your app and experience
Hi, I got my app 'MicroJam' finished with 24 hours to spare but with a hugley reduced feature set to my original plan. I've been working on the app on and off in my spare time since january so I deceided to make the ADC my deadline. MicroJam is a simple loop based muic sequencer/remixer and my experience of developing the app for the challange has been mixture of happiness and pain. The main point of pain for me has been the time taken to debug anything, even trivial changes to the code have to be uploaded onto the device/emulator and then tested. This leads to a very disjointed dev workflow(but I guess this must be the same for any mobile develeopment). This problem was amplified by the fact I had lots of audio files in my app. I got around this by adding my audio to the sdcard and taking it out of the app but this then lead to big problems down the line in the eleventh hour when i tried to bring them back in again, see here http://dixonof.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/android-debuggerd-zombie/ . But on the whole I've got a great sense of calm and happiness now I got the thing submitted. I'm now gearing up for my next app which will build on the foundations i've made with MicroJam. I think i may be alone in this but I like the fact that I can't make any more changes to the app now it's submitted. I can move on and view any mods as the next version of my app which the maket users can appreciate. MicroJam will apear on the market sometime soon.

[android-developers] sdcard in avd SDK 1.5
Hello, I've been trying to figure out how to use the sdcard that was generated when I created the avd file for the emulator in SDK 1.5 r1. In previous SDKs I set this in the Eclipse run configurations -sdcard c:\android\sd500m.img I could then access the sdcard through DDMS etc. How do i specify the sdcard that was created in the avd?

[android-developers] in TableRow
Hi, I have a problem trying use within a table row. Any android: atributes applied to the widget within the include are ignored. Here's is a test I put together. The two buttons outside the table layout render correctly(adjusted width and height), the one's inside do not. Strangely, the custom TwoStateButton:x attributes are rendered correctly in both cases. -- main.xml http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > --- custom_button.xml --- http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; xmlns:TwoStateButton="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ com.basementajax.tests" android:layout_height="100dp" android:layout_width="50dp" TwoStateButton:onText="This is on" TwoStateButton:offText="Off" TwoStateButton:onBgId="@drawable/btn_red" TwoStateButton:offBgId="@drawable/btn_red" /> button_type2.xml - http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_height="100dp" android:layout_width="50dp" /> Can anyone shed any light on this? why will the buttons not render correctly in the TableRow, have i missed something?

[android-developers] Re: in TableRow
Ok, I found a solution but I'm still not sure why this doesn't work. I had to use within the included view android:height="100dp" android:width="50dp" instead of android:layout_height="100dp" android:layout_width="50dp" cheers simon On May 6, 10:56 pm, longhairedsi wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem trying use within a table row.

[android-developers] Custom CompoundButton
Hi, I need to create a button that has on/off state using the background graphic(drawable) to represent the current state. I think I need to extend CompoundButton but I'm having trouble understanding how I set the two background drawables for on and off. Can anyone shed some light on this?
