[android-beginners] How to get dialog associated with a button

[Vignesh]

Hi,

I create a new dialog (with showDialog) and on the dialog I have two
checkboxes each of which has an onCheckedChanged listener.   When the button
is clicked, from the callback onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton cb, boolean
state) how do I get the dialog?   My aim is to change some properties of the
dialog, when the button is clicked.

Thanking in advance,
vignesh

You can:

1. Use a callback or listener object, passed from activity to the service,
which the service calls a method upon

2. Broadcast an intent, receiving it in your activity

Please remember that your activity may not be there -- Android and the
user have the right to close up your activity while the service is still
running. So you might:

3. Use a Notification, so you let the user know of completed work, rather
than telling a possibly non-existent activity.

[android-beginners] Threading with UI components

[Don Oleary]

Hi guys

I have a question around threading. I have one Activity that does the
following tasks
on first load

- Queries the DB
- Aggregates the results (some intensive post processing)
- Displays the results to the user

Depending on the amount of data, this can take a bit of time. I am trying to
push this
DB query and post processing off to a separate thread to the UI so the user
will perceive the app to be faster while also avoiding the "application not
responding"
message.
I can successfully do this using an inner class that extends AsyncTask, and
can update Views (set as member variables of the Activity class) that have
been defined in XML with the updated content. Where I am running into
problems is when I need to dynamically create views (TableRows for example).
Can I (should I) access the App Context object from the extended AsyncTask
inner class ?

Where one is dynamically creating views, what is the best way to do this in
a separate thread to the UI ?

Regards
Don

I am also having trouble starting AVD. Im just starting to develop for

Yes I've installed Java on my machine and followed all the other steps
in the setup tutorial provided in the SDK, including changing my
environment path. I still get this when I try to type "android create
avd -t 2 -n my_avd" in my console from the tools directory of the SDK:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! =)

[android-beginners] Sending "BACK" key to the application through instrumentation

[sachin]

hi

I am extending the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase class to test the
graphics API.
In this case the activity under test is started automatically by the
instrumentation class.

Some activities run continuously until the press of "BACK" key
manually. I want to automate this sending of BACK key.I tried the
following method to call the finish() of activity.

First i got the activity by calling getActivity() function and then
called the finish() of that activity, but still the activity continues
to run.

Can anyone suggest a method by which i can close the Activity.?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Sachin.

[android-beginners] Re: HTC Magic - Can't install driver on development PCs

[bigrd]

I had the very same problems and solved it this way:

Search for and download USBDeview.

Make sure your Magic is disconnected and set the USB Debugging to ON.

Right click on USBDeview.exe and select Run as administrator on you XP/
Vista PC.
Select all usb devices relating to HTC and uninstall them
Reconnect your magic and you should be prompted for the drivers.
Browse to the SDK USB drivers folder and select the .inf file and
click OK.  This should re-install the drivers as new for an ADB
Interface.

[android-beginners] Google Maps on Android

[simonfro...@googlemail.com]

Hello Everybody!

I currently getting started with developing for Android and I was just
doing the "MapView Tutorial" from http://developer.android.com. I
managed to get it all working, except I can't see an actual Google-Map
on my emulator. Instead I'm only seeing that grid, so that I'm
assuming the emulator has some problems connecting to the internet.
Are there some settings that have to be changed in order to let my
emulator use the internet connection of my computer?

Thanks in advance!
Simon

[android-beginners] Re: Installing the android SDK on my new PC

[SarahEZiegler]

I was having this problem too and followed another thread to this
solution:
"I've selected the android sdk directory in Windows->preferences- >
android"
So I went and selected the android SDK directory in Windows-
>preferences- > android and then went back and tried to start a new
project again and now there were three checkboxes where none had been
there before.  And once I entered "2" into Min SDK Version one of the
checkboxes autoselected.  So no more  "An SDK target must be
specified", and I could move on.  Hope this helps.

[android-beginners] how to dynamically update classpath in Android emulator?

[sherry]

I tried to dynamically load a jar file residing on /sdcard directory
on my Android Emulator. I keep getting classnotfoundexception. If I
include the stub of the classes in the jar file in my app project then
I can find them. This makes me suspect the classpath is the issue: /
sdcard is not in myapp's classpath.

How to update the classpath after I load the jar file so that I can
find the classes in the /sdcard/my.jar ?

Thanks.

Sherry

This is definitely not a complete class, and the database is defined

[android-beginners] [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]-failure?

[mievuan]

Hello!
I've started to get  [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]-error when I try
to update an application that has already been installed on the
device. Previously I've been able to upload an .apk-file to a web
server and then browse to that package with a devices web browser and
install the updated package from there, and the new package has
successfully replaced the old one.

Now however the install fails and I get the error. The same thing
happens if I try to install via usb using adb -d install-command from
shell.
I manage to install the application if I first remove the old one from
the phone, or if I issue the command "adb install -r
.apk". However these are of little help if I wish to
grant user the possibility to download and install an updated package
from a web server as described above.  The behaviour is similar in the
emulator if I try to install a package there with simple adb install-
command.

I've made sure I use properly signed packages with "jarsigned -verify"-
command and I've tried incrementing the androidmanifest.xml's version
information of packages.
Also, before the failure message comes, I can see in the logcat a
packagemanager warning:
"WARN/PackageManager(50): Attempt to re-install  without
first uninstalling."

This probably has something to do with the error but I can't figure
out what I've changed to cause this error. Only thing that I can
recall has changed in my code was adding a broadcastlistener for some
actions happening in the system, but that can hardly be the cause of
this? I also tried removing that block of code but the error persists.

If anybody has any insight on how to solve this problem, I'd be very
grateful. My own ideas are running out :(

This isn't an Android question so much as it is a touchscreen hardware
question.

The T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic use a capacitive touchscreen, which requires
a slightly conductive "pointer", like a finger:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#Capacitive

I'm not aware of any capacitive touchscreen stylii available, but there's
probably one out there someplace.

[android-beginners] Re: Android instrumentation class : what is the concept ?

[sachmi2]

Hi,

It may be useful fro others, so i m posting it here:

Instrumentation framework is a kind of facility (tool) for the
developer(user) to see the UI activities being executed and can
manually interact with them.
The execution of the activity will be controlled as the test case will
be written according to the need of the application.
The junit automates the test process and the control is provided
through instrumentation test framework.
I think this is just an overview and the real description is quite
deep.
But please update me as still i m going through all these things.

[android-beginners] Re: Getting Android Error - Unknown URI: content://media/external/images/media

[Sujay Krishna Suresh]

hv u mounted an sdcard image??? if not the external uri wont work...
u can do this by adding emulator option -sdcard  in ur
android preferences...
to make the sdcard image use the command mksdcard command in ur sdk tools...
mksdcard: create a blank FAT32 image to be used with the Android emulator
usage: mksdcard [-l label]  

  if  is a simple integer, it specifies a size in bytes
  if  is an integer followed by 'K', it specifies a size in KiB
  if  is an integer followed by 'M', it specifies a size in MiB

hope this works...

[android-beginners] [android-beginners]Screen pointer

[Rafa Perfeito]

Hey,
Nobody likes the finger usability of Android more than me... But what if
want some precisioning pointing? Some drawing in small areas, for example?
Do you guys know any pointer or pen that works with android? Does it matter
what we use to touch the screen?

Give me your thoughts on this, please.
Thanks
Cheers

[android-beginners] Re: Sprite in Android

[Sean Hodges]

Vinny,

GameDev.net (http://www.gamedev.net/reference/start_here/) and
DevMaster.net (http://www.devmaster.net/wiki/Main_Page) are good
places to start. There are some good books available too, check out
Amazon.

In my opinion, you should really gather some experience developing
games for the PC before attempting much on embedded device platforms.
Run through a few tutorials and get a feel for game development.

Regards,

Sean

[android-beginners] Re: Android emulator starts with a dialog promoting what is the HOME

[Sean Hodges]

It sounds like you installed an app on the emulator that declares
itself as a "home" app to Android.

Usually you have a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog that allows
you to tell it not to ask again. Worst case scenario; just ditch the
whole emulator and re-install it.

I'm not sure on how you reset it (maybe a factory reset in the
Settings like the phone?), but assuming you've kept everything backed
up, it might be easier just to start with a fresh emulator instance.

[android-beginners] Re: vertical scrolling TableLayout

[Sean Hodges]

I'm not sure on the purpose of the scrollbar attributes on the
TableLayout, usually if you want scrollbars on a layout, you wrap them
in a ScrollView:
