[android-beginners] getline support?

2009-01-19 Thread Kishor

Hi All,

Does Android C library supports getline() function?
My code is giving error "undefined reference to `getline'" while compiling.

Does it have some other function instead of getline?
Thanks in Advance!

Regards,
Krish

[android-beginners] Re: How to set airplane mode on/off.

2009-01-19 Thread levis501

Seems reasonable enough that one could write a different interface for
changing this setting.  "Rings Extended" is a great example of such an
improvement.  I suggest checking out the android source and seeing how
this is done in the settings app.  For instance, in packages/apps/
Settings/src/com/android/settings/AirplaneModeEnabler.java , this is
done with the following code:

Settings.System.putInt(mContext.getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON,
enabling ? 1 : 0);
Intent intent = new Intent
(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", enabling);
mContext.sendBroadcast(intent);

This would most certainly require to add security requirements to the
AndroidManifest of your app.

I'm not 100% certain that this possible to do even with the proper
security flags, and I agree that you shouldn't do this without
specific action by the user, as it affects system elements outside of
your particular app.

I guess you could 'install' sudo yourself. I'm no linux crack so I

Do you have an import for the R class? If so you need to make sure it
is the R class for your project and not from the android package.

You want to take a look at the javadoc for SimpleDateFormat if your

this.

String formatedDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance([optional argument
such as DateFormat.SHORT]).format([your date]);

I can certainly appreciate that the dev phone ships with root access
available (and would love my retail one to have that capability).

But I can certainly understand why Google would ship with it disabled
by default.  Let the people, who maybe shouldn't be root in the
first place save themselves from a stupid 'rm -Rf' execution.

On a side note, I would love if TMob\Google would just implement a 'su

Not sure but sounds like you need to add android.jar to the project
classpath (somewhere in Project/properties menu of eclipse).

It's always the classpath.  Good Luck.

SDK != firmware.

To change "the look and feel of the UI" (by which I presume you mean
built-in apps), you will need to work with the firmware:

[android-beginners] Re: Am I root?

2009-01-19 Thread djupp


I can be root on my dev phone 1 without flashing any firmware. Just
get the terminal emulator from the market, open it and type 'su':
voilà a root shell (although I haven't tried anything with it yet).
Enjoy!

BTW: To me it seems like a great idea to ship the dev phone with root
access. After all this is true openness..

[android-beginners] Re: Overwriting data in EditTexts

If you are talking about the gray text in the edittext that disappears
when the first letter is typed, in the xml properties for the edittext
there is a setting for Hint, just type in what you want it to say.

[android-beginners] Problems with R.java in Eclipse 3.4

2009-01-19 Thread djupp


Hello all
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anything searching for this (maybe I'm
just really bad at searching :))

The issue is the following:  I'm trying to write a little app to learn
programming to android devices, but it seems as if my installation of
either Eclipse or the Android SDK is screwed up.
I cannot access any items from my R.java in my 'HelloWorld.java'; and
eclipse refuses to build. But the items are there in R.java (for
example:
 public final class R {
  [...]
public static final class id {
public static final int btn_clickme=0x7f050001;
public static final int txt_name=0x7f05;
  [...]) returns a "cannot resolve name" when used in findViewById
(R.id.txt_name).

Any ideas?
Thank you very much!

[android-beginners] Re: Horizontal Scrolling in TableLayout

2009-01-19 Thread Scynasty


horizontal scrolling is only possible in webviews and mapviews
currently.

the home page currently works by stitching three views together inside
a custom view and running an onTouchEvent.

heres an example of a horisontal scrolling with 3 portrait screen
widths:

set this inside a new java file:
package com.example.android.skeletonapp;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.AbsoluteLayout;

public class yView extends AbsoluteLayout {

public static int xcor, ycor, xcorclick, ycorclick;



public yView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);



}

public yView(Context c){
super(c);


this.setMinimumWidth(960);
}

@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
int action = event.getAction();
int mCurX = (int)event.getX();


if ( action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {

xcorclick = (int)event.getX();
}


if ( action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE ) {



int xcor = this.getLeft() - xcorclick + mCurX;

if (xcor < -640)
xcor = -640;

if (xcor > 0)
xcor = 0;

AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams p = new 
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(960,
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,xcor,0);
this.setLayoutParams (p);

}

if ( action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP ) {
//this.setText("not moving");

}
return true;
}

@Override public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.draw(canvas);

}
}


and this as the main xml file:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent">








'com.example.android.skeletonapp.yView' make sure you change both
of these to match the location of the custom view file you created
with the java code above.

you can adjust the size of the view by setting all the 960's(in the
java and xml code) to any size you want(960's means the view is 960
pixels wide)

[android-beginners] Problem with DateFormat.format

2009-01-19 Thread JJ

Hi all.

I have a problem using *DateFormat.format *because i think the last class of
DateFormat have been changed in the last SDK.

Now, i dont think how can i do the format of date and if the correct class
to do it is  java.sql.Date or java.util.Date...

The code is:

String fecha = DateFormat.format("dd/MM/ kk:mm",new
Date(rFecha)).toString();

With this, i want to have something like this: 05/01/2009 10:12for
example.

This code is from this spanish tutorial:
http://groups.google.es/group/desarrolladores-android/web/registro-de-llamadas-hecho-con-una-lista-con-iconos

[android-beginners] Help with path syntax for reading file off SD card

2009-01-19 Thread robotissues


I am trying to create a very simple mp3 player with one button that
plays one song.  I found misc code here and there as a start.  I am
running the application via Eclipse onto  my G1 which is attached via
USB.  The application runs fine on the phone, screen loads, button
click event gets fired, etc ... the problem is that when mp.prepare()
is called, it throws an error ... here is the code:

mp.setDataSource("/sdcard/music/lonelydays.mp3");
mp.prepare();

I copied a file to  /music/lonelydays.mp3 on the sd card.

Looking for feedback on what I am missing.

Thank You.

[android-beginners] Changing General UI

2009-01-19 Thread c.f.


Hi im a complete newbie to Linux/Java programming. I simply want to
change the look and feel of the UI from the SDK. I assumed the SDK
included the whole Android UI since it runs the emulator, so i went
searching through the files and found some PNG image files from the UI
in tools>lib>res>default>drawable. I thought if i edited these images
it would change the look of the UI, but when i restarted the emulator
nothing had changed. Am I dumb or is there something I am doing wrong.
Thanks c.f.

[android-beginners] Problem with looping through the buttons in the Layout

2009-01-19 Thread amadamala


I'm using TableLayout for my application.
I do have 16 buttons (4 rows and 4 columns) inside the layout.

I'm able to assign the text to each button by assigning value to
R.id.Button01, 02, 03  Button16.

Take this as an example code.


((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01)).setText(list.get
(0).toString());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button02)).setText(list.get(1).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button03)).setText(list.get(2).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button04)).setText(list.get(3).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button05)).setText(list.get(4).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button06)).setText(list.get(5).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button07)).setText(list.get(6).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button08)).setText(list.get(7).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button09)).setText(list.get(8).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button10)).setText(list.get(9).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button11)).setText(list.get(10).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button12)).setText(list.get(11).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button13)).setText(list.get(12).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button14)).setText(list.get(13).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button15)).setText(list.get(14).toString
());

((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button16)).setText(list.get(15).toString
());


But what I want is similar to following code.

  for(int i=0; i< 16; i++)
  {

   ((Button)findViewById(R.id.Button[i] )).setText(list.get
(i).toString());
  }

Thanks,
-Anil

Hello

I've got a strange problem:
I can't set permissions on files on the sdcard. Whenever I try to

Does anyone know what causes this and/or how I can fix that?

The repository is HUGE (it include linux after all), and will take

I do have a dream (ADP1) but I heartily agree that it is very annoying
not to have an online way to search and look at stuff. Browsing for
apps is just simply much nicer on a 24" screen! I also looked for ages
but found nothing. The Android market still has a LONG way to go
before people are going to want to start paying for apps IMHO.

[android-beginners] Re: Android Dev Phone 1 Setup

2009-01-19 Thread Anton Melser


Just for info, I am in France (neufmobile, which uses the SFR
network), and also don't have a data plan (nor do I want one). I can't
remember exactly what I did, but I definitely didn't need to bust out
the command line. I think I just cancelled out of things and got to
the wifi connection and got internet. Then it all just worked. I DID
however, follow the instructions for setting up the APN (even though I
assure you I have no data plan, I just thought it was necessary...).
Maybe the phones shipped after 2009-01-04 have this fixed?

[android-beginners] Official Android release structure (v1.0, v1.0.1, v1.0.2, etc)?

2009-01-19 Thread Anton Melser


Hi all,
I have looked unsuccessfully for info on this. Does Android actually
have releases? How do I download "Android 1.0"? "1.0.1"? What I want
to know is whether there is now or will be at some stage, something
that can be called a release, say v1.0, which is maintained without
the introduction of new features from elsewhere (that of course may
introduce new bugs), to which there are minor point revisions that fix
only bugs. There also might also be a trunk branch which at sometime
goes "beta" (is branched off), and can then be followed as it will
only introduce bugfixes and not major new features...
The vast majority of large open source projects do it like this, so
I'm assuming that it's either like that now or on the way for Android
- am I wrong? Is there some way to tell Git to do this now? This must
be explained somewhere but I just couldn't find it!
Thanks
Anton

[android-beginners] Re: I hate layouts

2009-01-19 Thread Faber Fedor

The fix seems to be adding 'android:layout_weight="1"' to both the editName
EditText and the findLocation Button.  Odd because I know I played with
those settings.  Besides, the other widgets down below it don't need those
directives to lay out properly. :-?

It looks like the ideal settings are "1" and "0" for the EditText and button
respectively. Well, would be ideal if I hadn't decided the Find
functionality is moot. :-)

I'll see if I have an older version of my layout around where I do have
those added in.

Thanks for the help!

The emulator has all three of the Droid series of fonts.

Use Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.SERIF, or Typeface.MONO as the first
parameter to Typeface#create().

Let's draw an analogy:

On your desktop, you have written an application that has downloaded an
MP3 file from someplace, and you want to play that MP3. You have three
choices:

1. Implement MP3-playback in your application. That's doable, but your
MP3 player will inevitably be limited compared to any sort of
full-featured player the user already has installed.

2. You can hard-code a path to an MP3 player executable, or do some sort
of a "find" operation to find the executable, then run the MP3 player
executable yourself.

3. You can let the operating system figure out how to handle MP3
playback using the default viewer for that platform.

Using an explicit Intent is akin to #1 or #2 above -- you are telling
Android to run a specific piece of logic.

Using an implicit Intent is akin to #3 above -- you are telling Android
to take an action on a piece of content, but you are letting Android
figure out which is the right code to use for that task.

[android-beginners] Re: Problem in playing a video file

2009-01-19 Thread Mahesh Vaghela

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info.
Finally I have decided to put all my audio data to SD card.
I can do this as suggested by you for a manual check.

*"adb push /path/on/workstation/video.mp4 /sdcard"*

This will work on my emulator.
If I want to do this for a real device than my code should first push all my
audio data in the user's SD card.

Can you please show me a way how to do this?

Is there any predefined folder like drawable/raw (Or some other like this)
which can directly put our data in sdcard instead of application's private
folder?

Hi,
I think you might missed this class declaration

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Thread Question

2009-01-19 Thread steve_macleod


Hi Dave,
First - thanks for the reply.

Maybe im missing something here, but what is the app's "message
looper"?

I am creating the thread with the following line:

mPacManThread = new PacManThread(mSurfaceHolder, context, null);

The PacManThread takes the following arguments (used the LunarLander
thread as a reference):

PacManThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Context context, Handler
handler)

I have left the handler null. I presume the message looper concept has
something to do with this handler. I didn't understand its purpose at
the time, so I left it null.
I have read the class description, but still in the dark as far as its
purpose.

So, I guess my question is, what is a message looper and what
relationship does it have with the handler argument?

many thanks,

[android-beginners] Navigation implementation

2009-01-19 Thread Bamboo


>From what I can see there are several different methods for navigating
from one activity to another using intents

 - Explicit intents (setClass(context, class))
 - Implicit intens (specifying actions, categories)

Is one preferable to the other and are there specific conditions under
which each should be called. e.g user explicit intents if the class
name is known?
