[android-beginners] Re: How to install Android on my PDA
Android is meant for cell phones, not PDAs. It also is not released yet and the manufacturer will have to put it on the phone (in most cases), you probably can't change your cell phone OS very easily on your own without knowing technicals with that specific phone and a lot programming.

[android-beginners] Re: m5 not working
In the problems view I get an error on every line that a resource in R.java is, but only that. As far as the console view goes, I got nothing there and I just performed a clean on it. I tried running my program (even though it had errors just to see the console output) and the console gave me this: [2008-04-10 00:56:03 - adb] * daemon not running. starting it now * [2008-04-10 00:56:03 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1 [2008-04-10 00:57:39 - DeviceMonitor] Adb connection Error:EOF [2008-04-10 00:57:39 - DeviceMonitor] Connection attempts: 1 [2008-04-10 00:57:39 - adb] * daemon not running. starting it now * Any idea what is going on that makes my R.java disappear and not come back?

I have tried the same steps on both of cleaning and whatnot to try to fix it. I am out of ideas on what to do.

telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

[android-beginners] Re: How to Create a Context
Hi Ray, The Activity and Service classes are subclasses of Context. So you can refer to the Context object by using the this object reference in OnCreate() method of you Activity or Service. Also, you would use broadcastIntent() if you want an IntentReceiver in the other application to receive the data, but if you want an Activity in the other application to receive that data you can use startActivity()(with NEW_TASK_LAUNCH flag) instead. In both cases you will make an Intent object and put data in its Extras bundle.

[android-beginners] Unpleasant interaction between timer and updating a map overlay
Hi All,
One of the methods in my Android App is named locationSubmit().
It:
-- obtains gps coords,
-- sends the coords to a (Tomcat) server with a web services call,
-- receives back a collection of points in the return from the
server,
-- plots these points on a map, with a recentering of the map
This all works fine when I drive it with clicks from the keyboard (I
happen
to use Z) -- I can see the appropriate updates to the points with each
Z click.
However, I now want to run locationSubmit() periodically under the
control
of a TimerTask. When I do, the mapping process appears to freeze
although
everything else seems to keep going. Here is the simple timer task
and
startup (I run it with samplingPeriod=15000; ie, 15 seconds):
private void startTimer(long samplingPeriod)
{
_lbsTimer = new Timer(false);
_lbsTimer.schedule(new LBSUpdateTask(), new Date(),
samplingPeriod);
}
protected class LBSUpdateTask extends TimerTask
{
protected LBSUpdateTask() { }
public void run()
{
locationSubmit();
}
}
The first execution of locationSubmit() under timer control almost
works
correctly: The points are plotted, but the map is not recentered.
And from this point on, the map does not change at all, while the
timer
keeps functioning. However, from observing the server,
I can see that the correct calls are arriving at the
server from the Android client, and the correct returns are being sent
back.
Also, if I run my Android app under the debugger, I can see that it
is receiving the values from the server, and stepping through the code
as exepected, but
not updating the overlay like it does when I drive it with keyboard
clicks.
The basic outline of locationSubmit() is this:
private void locationSubmit()
{
try{
URL url = new URL(getNextLocnURL());
URLConnection urlconn = url.openConnection();
Document doc = null;
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
urlconn.getInputStream();
InputStream istream = urlconn.getInputStream();
doc = db.parse(istream);
// extract info from doc and add it to an instance
variable
// visible to _mapView below:
_mapView.invalidate();
} catch (Exception e){ }
}
The value of MapView _mapView is set in onCreate to _mapView = new
MapView(this);
There is a simple class MyAppOverlay which extends Overlay, and plots
the
points using draw(...) when _mapView is invalidated.
Have I missed something here?
Thanks in advance,
Ken Bowen
