[android-beginners] Re: Making my first Application
Well that's discouraging and motivating at the same time. Either way, I really appreciate the help. I've begun to look at the websites you offered to learn from. In the mean-time... as a programmer, maybe you'd like to work with me for a reasonable return of earings? This application will bring new lite to the music end of Android Market.

[android-beginners] How to scroll a TileView around by finger
I posted a similar question to this one 5 days ago but received no replies. So I am changing my question fundamentally because I think I was going down the wrong path before and asking the wrong questions. In the API examples there is a Snake game. This game uses a class called SnakeView, which inherits from TileView. I am doing something very similar to this. I am inheriting from TileView to create a class (SkyView), which will become a square board for a board game (think of the board for Checkers). However, I would like for my game board to be 400x400 pixels in size, which will be bigger than the screens of some Android devices (such as the G1). And I would like for the user to be able to freely scroll and drag the board around with their finger (both horizontal and vertical scrolling/dragging). Can someone please point me in the correct direction for implementing this? The board must be no smaller than 400x400px in size. And however much of the board that can be displayed at once, should be displayed at once. Should I wrap my SkyView widget in an AbsoluteLayout and use Scrollbars? Is there another view layout I should put it inside? Code examples would be nice! Thanks for the help. I am at a loss with this one. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] "Your location cannot be determined"
Hi guys, I'm new to android development, I tried some stuffs since a week now. >From what I've seen the online documentation is a mess: there is exactly no example AT ALL (well except the tutorials), and we all know how examples are useful for developers. But that's not the point today. So I tried to get my location on the emulator. Of course, not my real location, but an emulate one. But for everything I tried, I had a 0.0 latitude, and a 0.0 longitude. So I thought "maybe Google Maps can't do it too!". So I ran it, and I got the "Your location cannot be determined" message. I went to the Settings on the emulator phone, and the GPS is enabled. So here's my question : do we have something special to do to get the location? I added this to my manifest.xml file : and I also changed the Location Controls on the Emulator Control to the latitude and longitude of the Statue of Liberty (40.689; -74.045) So I really need your help guys!

That link points to a series of blog posts I have about your very issue.
Please forgive the broken formatting, and the examples are from last
summer and so may need some modification to work on the current SDK.
You can get the source code to my original Android book, which has
up-to-date editions of the sample code from the blog posts. Visit
http://commonsware.com/Android/ and click on the Source Code link.

How could change a ImageView on the fly?

[android-beginners] LocationManager - issue with setting distance/time filter
I'm encountering what appears to be inconsistencies with how the
distance and time filter settings for the LocationManager are
currently working when I attempt to log the current GPS location in an
application that I'm writing. The phone that I'm using to log is a G1
(non-dev phone).
Basically, I'm trying to run a GPS logger as a background service that
starts when the phone is booted up. The code that loads the Service
seems to work properly so I'm going to provide a snippet of the actual
GPS logger itself.
-
public class LocationLoggerService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
// setup logging
long maxTime = 36;
int maxDist = 3;
startLocationUpdates(maxTime, maxDist);
}
public void startLocationUpdates(long maxTime, int maxDist) {
// start location updates
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService
(Service.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
float speed = loc.getSpeed();
double longitude = loc.getLongitude();
double latitude = loc.getLatitude();
long time = loc.getTime();
time = time / 1000;
try {
*submit stuff goes here*
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1,
Bundle arg2) {
}
};
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(lm.getBestProvider(criteria, true),
maxTime, maxDist, mLocationListener);
}
}
-
What I'm expecting to happen with this code is that the
LocationManager either 1) logs a fine (no wi-fi location) location
every half hour or 2) logs a fine location every time the device moves
2m. This code should only register a point every 30 minutes unless
the device is in motion.
However, I'm finding that it actually does the following:
1) on startup, logs about five points while the device is stationary
and then proceeds to log about every 30 seconds.
2) when the device is in motion, logs sporadically - basically a trip
of around 10-15 kilometers only logged around 72 points, many with
incorrect speed
I think what I'd like is if I could utilize the maxTime and maxDist
settings without the second case occuring (it seems to be constantly
dropping the GPS fix and then trying to re-acquire it, introducing a
lot of error in the process).
Any suggestions on how to solve these issues would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!

[android-beginners] Embedded sound not possible in webview or browser?
Ive tried playing a sound from the browser (and from a stand-alone
webview from within an app), trying all different html/javascript-
sounds available on this site:
http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/mark/audio/play.htm
But nothing works, neither in the emulator, nor for people with an
android-phone who have been kind enough to try it out.
So, it appears to be a flaw in the browser/webview (deliberate to let
the operators have full controll over sound-playback?).
Are there other methods than those available on the site above to play
sounds within a webpage on an android-device?
And what about work-arounds? Can your javacode react on events
triggered in a webpage that is loaded into your app's webview?
As a comparison, in Xcode (the ide for iPhone-apps) your obj-c code
could react to, for instance, a -tag that was
triggered, and extract the url ("something") to be used in its native
code. Is something similar available on android?

[android-beginners] Chronometer Problem
Hello, I'm having trouble with the Chronometer class. When I call the stop() method, it freezes the display, but not the upcount. For instance, the widget displays 00:04 and I call the stop() method. 8 seconds later I call the start() method and it doesn't start from 00:04, but from 00:12. ¿How can I correct this?

[android-beginners] Applet Alert
Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me? I have installed eclipse 3.4 with the Android plugin Whenever I try and point the plugin to the Android SDK, I get an applet alert dialog box with the message "The applet is attempting to access the "isDirectory" state attributes of file C:\. with 3 buttons "Allow", "Disallow", "stop applet" I'm not sure what the issue is. Is it because the plugin is unsigned? is there something wrong with my installation of java (am on java 6 atm) Thanks in Advance --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Embedded sound not supported in WebView or Webbrowser?
Ive tried playing a sound from the browser (and from a stand-alone
webview from within an app), trying all different html/javascript-
sounds available on this site:
http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/mark/audio/play.htm
But nothing works, neither in the emulator, nor for people with an
android-phone who have been kind enough to try it out.
So, it appears to be a flaw in the browser/webview (deliberate to let
the operators have full controll over sound-playback?).
Are there other methods than those available on the site above to play
sounds within a webpage on an android-device?
And what about work-arounds? Can your javacode react on events
triggered in a webpage that is loaded into your app's webview?
As a comparison, in Xcode (the ide for iPhone-apps) your obj-c code
could react to, for instance, a -tag that was
triggered, and extract the url ("something") to be used in its native
code. Is something similar available on android?

[android-beginners] Re: dx moaning
Good question, and I'll get back to you precisely on that shortly (but I do know it is a Sun JDK), but please note that all the class files are identical in size to those on the system where dx works OK, and at least one has a matching (sum) checksum. So I suspect they are all identical. Beyond this immediate problem, I seek to understand better what dx is trying to tell me in some depth. I'm also seeking a source of more info on dx beyond the usage info emitted by the command -- like a man page, or better, some comprehensive writeup. Any pointers on this?

[android-beginners] Re: Problem with Emulator
it looks like there is something fishy in your system image. Try starting with "emulator -wipe-data" once to see if this solves the issue. If it doesn't, try re-downloading the SDK. If that doesn't solve the issue, let us know by giving us as much detail as possible as to what you do to build/install/start your application.
