[android-beginners] I found the minus key on the android emulator

[MMC2]

I have been battling with the issue of how to enter a negative number
into an EditText. I have discovered the answer to the problem and
would like to share it. The minus key on the android emulator is the
"g" key. This seems to be a surprising place for it to be at first,
but with the benefit of hindsight, it is to the immediate right of the
center of the alternative  "calculator style" numeric keyboard that
you get when you specify numeric input for an EditText. It is
unfortunate that the numerals and the minus sign are not shown on
these keys.

Thanks to those who replied to me and tried to help.

[android-beginners] User login from mobile app

[MCON Dev]

Hello,

I am planning to write a android application that logs into a remote user
database. Once logged in the user can perform multiple tasks. I need some
guidance on the technologies I need to read up to achieve it. I read up
OpenLDAP, and Unbound API's for LDAP. Soon I will prototype the LDAP way.

I was thinking of providing the OpenID way of login. So anyone with a openID
login should be able to use my services. Any guidance there ?

One last approach I had was using a MySQL database.

Its a simple task. Multiple applications I use today on my Nokia phone do
user login. So I know its possible. I just need some guidance on where to
start looking/reading.

Thanks in advance
siddha...@mcon

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Layout

[schwiz]

try using 1 linear layout with a TableLayout tag inside then TableRow
inside of that.  Make sure  your TableLayout has the attribute
android:stretchColumns="*"
this should do it!

[android-beginners] Re: Low performance using SurfaceView, touchMode and OptionMenu

[Gazy]

Im having the exact same issue - restarting the activity results in
60fps again but now and again pressing the menu key will result in the
surfaceview running at 40fps and staying that way. It seems to be at
the same time the app is struggling a little bit with doing many
things as I can recreate it quite often. Any ideas??

ADT 0.9.1 worked fine with Eclipse 3.4 until today. Eclipse asks me

Is ADT not compatible with updated Eclipse 3.4.2?

I have managed to set up my G1 so that it is recognized by the system when
it is connected:

HT850GZ54711 device
emulator-5554 device

but when I try to run my application, I do not get the option to run on the
device. There is no device chooser, it goes straight to the emulator. Any
thoughts?

[android-beginners] Cannot see my HTC Magic via DDMS to take screenshot

[kidhermes]

Hello

I'm new to Android and will start to develop on. But I can't connect
my phone (HTC Magic, branded Swisscom in Switzerland) to my XP Eclipse
+ SDK 1.5r1.

First I will simply take a few screenshot following this process:
http://blog.digitaltinder.net/2009/06/how-to-take-android-screenshots/

Won't! I can run the emulator via Eclipse with a project, but when I
plug my phone (debug mod on as requested), DDMS doesn't me any device.
Empty.
In my device manager on XP, I can see my phone as "HTC Android Phone
USB Device". And when I mount the drive, I can access to my sd card
with all the application and files.

Any advice(s)?

A lot of thx in advance.
Regards, Dom

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Layout

[AndroidGameGuy]

Agreed!  simple layout is a lot more work (take a look at iPhone's
Interface Builder for how easy drag & drop can be)

Anyway, the above suggestions make sense.  Maybe another idea is to
try the "preview" you get in Eclipse, that way you will quickly see
your XML changes without having to run your app on the emulator.

[android-beginners] pressing menu key slows down surfaceview

[Gazy]

Hi,

I have a surfaceview app and it runs at 60fps ordinarily, but
sometimes if i press the menu key the fps drop right down to 40fps.
This was happening when I moved over to another view for some ordinary
GUI stuff (not a surfaceview) and then back again but I got around it
by restarting the activity each time:

finish();
startActivity(getIntent());

 This meant it was always at 60fps, not an ideal solution but it
works. But now when I press the menukey it also happens sometimes
(perhaps under times of load more often than not), and restarting the
activity here isnt really feasible. So if anyone could shed any light
at all on why pressing the menu key would slow down my surfaceview
20fps, please let me know.

Its a very confusing one.

Gaz.

[android-beginners] Adding Data to a ListView

[nbadal]

Is there any way to add data to a listview, outside of a cursor? In my
application, I have a SQL database that I use to store data for each
list entry, but one of the numbers I need to show is not directly
derived from the database, but is instead calculated from a number
from the database. (Database stores a date, but I want to show the
number of days until that date)
I know the formula to get this number, but how would I insert it into
the list without putting it into my SQL database?

[android-beginners] GLSurfaceView.Renderer onSurfaceCreated/onSurfaceChanged not called if RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY

[Dante]

Just trying to put together a simple OpenGL app, but I've run into a
problem. I'm exceptionally new to OpenGL, so maybe I'm missing
something painfully obvious...

I've created a GLSurfaceView and a GLSurfaceView.Renderer to draw a
simple 2D screen. Everything works as expected unless I call
setRenderMode(RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY); When this render mode is in use,
the onSurfaceCreated() and onSurfaceChanged() methods are not called
when returning from an inbound phone call. (I've added some debug
printouts, so I can see if they're called).

I wasn't sure I was doing everything correctly, but if I remove the
call to setRenderMode(), the right thing happens and the renderer
resumes properly. The GLSurfaceView docs say you need to call onPause
() and onResume() at the appropriate times, and I'm doing that, but
they don't really say anything else about it that I can see. The
GLSurfaceView.Renderer docs don't really address this at all. Is there
some black magic I'm missing?

Should mention this is on the emulator, I'm using android-sdk-
windows-1.5_r2, Eclipse version: 3.4.2 (Ganymede), jdk1.6.0_14. Not
sure it would work on a device, I haven't got one yet.

Thanks

[android-beginners] how to install Android build on a g1

[vale_arna]

Hello,

I'm new to Android. I need to create a manet with some htc g1 for my
thesis work. I've received a g1 from the University with cupcake
already built on it. I noticed that ad-hoc mode is disabled by default
in cupcake, but i found this patch: 
https://review.source.android.com/Gerrit#change,9714
and I've compiled Android from source applying the patch and following
specific instructions for the g1 dream. Now I don't know which is the
best way to install the build on the device. Is fastboot a safe mode?
The device is not mine, so I'm paying attention to avoid dangerous
situations. I have the following images im my out/target/product/dream
directory (on my pc): boot.img, ramdisk.img, ramdisk-recovery.img,
recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img. Do I need to install all
these images on the phone to apply the update or I can copy only
system.img?

Thanks

Valerio

[android-beginners] Eclipse plugin vs. conversion to Dalvik

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

Hi !

I haven't seen this in a FAQ and while Google turned out some mentions
of this problem, I didn't find an actual solution.

So I'm new to Android, planning to try it out, and did the following

 - Machine is an x86/32 runnig ubuntu jaunty

 - JVM is IBM jre1.5 but the problem is identical using Sun OpenJDK 6

 - Freshly installed Eclipse 3.4 with C/C++ and Java environments

 - Downloaded the Android SDK 1.5_r2, unpacket it, followed the
   procedure to install the android plugin from the location provided
   on the web pages etc..

 - Plugin configured to point to my SDK directory, it does see the 3
   target options fine (1.1, 1.5 and 1.5 + Google)

Now, if I create a new android project, from Eclipse, apparently
regardless of what I do, choose as name, location of files etc... what
-always- happen is that the resulting project, when build, pops the
following message:

[2009-06-24 13:10:58 - baroid] no classfiles specified
[2009-06-24 13:10:58 - baroid] Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

I tried going into Properties->Android checking, unchecking etc.. the
build targets, cleaning the project, enabling or disabling automatic
build, anything, always this error.

This happens 100% of the time when creating a project, without anything
else but the default "generated" source file:

package com.example.baroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Baroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}

Any clue what's wrong ? Anything I can do to track this down ? While
and experienced kernel hacker, I have never used eclipse nor done
anything in Java yet so I could use some help here :-)

Cheers,
Ben.

[android-beginners] PPC based development

[Duder]

>From what I understand, the Android Emulator for development testing
is Java based, and if I'm doing development with the ADT Eclipse
Plugin, that should be Java based as well...so I'm wondering why an
Intel processor is required for Android development, unless I were
using some x86 based executable to do so, which I would not be.

Admittedly, I don't know anything about the inner workings of the ADT,
but I'm not seeing why I couldn't do development on a G5 based build
of Eclipse.  Is there any way around the x86 requirement?

Thanks.

[android-beginners] GLSurfaceView Renderer problem

[Ian]

I've been working through some of the OpenGL stuff, but I've hit a bit
of a snag. I'd like to use the RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY renderMode, but
it doesn't seem to recover from an incoming call properly -
onSurfaceCreated() and onSurfaceChanged() are not being called. The
docs say to call onPause() and onResume() at the appropriate times and
I've done that, but still no go.

I put in some debug prints and when RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY is set, it
works fine - in fact, everything works fine either way until the app
is paused and resumed with RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY. I'm really new to
OpenGL, so perhaps there's some black magic I'm missing. Any hints?

I should mention I'm using android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2, jdk1.6.0_14,
with Eclipse version 3.4.2. I've only seen this on the emulator so far
- I don't have a device yet.

[android-beginners] Can the main activity also be the starting activity?

[AndroidGameGuy]

I am working on a simple game app that I want to open right to the
game screen when the use launches the app.  No detours to a EULA, or
asking if they want a new game, etc.  Just go right to the game
screen.

It's going to be a simple game so 2D canvas graphics are all I need.
No views in XML, just creating a fullscreen canvas I can draw on.

So my question is, does it make any difference if the activity that is
launched by the application onCreate is different from the activity
that runs the game?  Is there a benefit to putting the game into a new
activity and class?  Is the activity that is started by the
application supposed to be reserved for setup only?

Thanks.

[android-beginners] HelloSpinner example runs but gives resource error

[greg]

I think I followed the instructions for the HelloSpinner example (part
of HelloViews documentation), and the HelloSpinner application runs
within the emulator.  However in the Eclipse Problems tab, the
following error message is displayed:

ERROR Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at
'prompt' with value '@string/planet_prompt').

The res/layout/main.xml file and the res/values/strings.xml are as
follows:

main.xml - - -


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">








strings.xml - - -



Hello World, HelloSpinner!
Hello, Spinner
Choose a planet


- - -

Did I miss something in the HelloSpinner instructions that's causing
this error?

[android-beginners] Re: Garbage Collection of Threads

I tried your example as a simple class invoked from the shell.  It ran
the finalizer just fine.

Put this in Foo.java:

public class Foo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TestThread t = new TestThread();

t.start();
try {
t.join();
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {}

t = null;
System.gc();

/*
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
*/

System.out.println("exiting " + t);
}
}

class TestThread extends Thread {
@Override
public void run()  {
System.out.println("Running...");
}

protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
System.out.println("finalizing TestThread");
super.finalize();
}
}

Then:

% javac -g Foo.java
% dx --dex --output=foo.jar Foo.class TestThread.class
% adb push foo.jar /sdcard
% adb shell dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/foo.jar Foo
  Running...
  finalizing TestThread
  exiting null

The sleep call may be needed to prevent the VM from exiting before the
finalizer thread has a chance to run.  The VM is not guaranteed to run
finalizers immediately, and may never invoke them at all if the VM
exits quickly.  In practice there seems to be enough of a lag from
handling the concatenating println call.

Incidentally, the "+ t" is on there to ensure that the "t = null"
actually happens.  If you use "javac Foo.java" instead of "javac -g
Foo.java", dx doesn't try to preserve debugging information.  Since it
doesn't think anybody will see the state of "t" after the null
assignment, it removes the assignment, and "t" still holds a valid
reference.

If we had live-precise GC this would be fine, since the GC would
ignore the never-used-again local.  We don't have live-precise GC,
which makes things a little weird if you're compiling with debugging
info disabled.  (I assume you have debugging enabled since you're
talking about setting breakpoints.)

Pedantic note: neither System.gc() nor System.runFinalization() are
guaranteed to do anything at all.  System.gc() may discard some but
not all objects, or it may just return immediately.
System.runFinalization() may wake up the finalization thread and
return immediately.  I happen to know that, in the current
implementation, System.gc() collects everything it can and
System.runFinalization() doesn't return until the finalizer queue is
empty, but you really don't want to depend on that in shipping code.

[android-beginners] Re: HelloSpinner example runs but gives resource error

[greg]

By the way, the emulator correctly displays the string (i.e.,
planet_prompt) at the top of the spinner selections.  Yet, the
Problems tab of Eclipse claims that no resource matches the name
planet_prompt.  Anyone else seeing this error in the HelloSpinner
example?

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Layout

[Carl]

Thanks for all your replies. I was so fed up!

Here is the layout xml. I did have the wrong (fill_parent) value in
layout_width.
That has solved that issue, thanks.

Also, the eclipse layout editor is such a great tool. It really helps
to see what you are doing before you try it in the emulator, as that
is such a long-winded process.

The problem I have now is that the first two columns are of equal
size, and the third is small - they all fit the screen size (which is
great) but they are not all the same size. This is also squeezing the
image in the third column.
Is there a way to resize the images so they are all the same size,
fitting the column?

If I use Sun JDK 5, it works...

Hi Ben, long time no see :-)

That's a frequent error that happens when no classes were properly
generated. And yes in this case the JDK matters a lot.

[android-beginners] startActivity called from non-Activity context - help

[Jason Van Anden]

This message appeared in logcat when selecting a notification ...

startActivity called from non-Activity context; forcing
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK for: Intent {
comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs} (has extras) }

It brings the Activity into focus which is half the battle ... thing is, I
have no idea what function to read the intent details from.  It does not
call onCreate ... or startActivity.

I have posted this several times ... feeling a bit stuck.  Help super
appreciated.

You can get the Intent that started your activity via getIntent().
AFAIK, if you are brought forward off the stack via a Notification,
getIntent() will return the Intent from the Notification.

> It does not call onCreate ... or startActivity.

I'm not sure what "it" is in the above sentence.

[android-beginners] how to stop sound notification/let it only play once?

[polzifer]

Hi,

while my

notification.sound = uri

isn't stopping from looping the sound, the vibration does only vibrate
once.
So I assume the i flagged the notification ok?

The ringtone for the app is chosen via a ringtone preference dialog:







...and the code for the service looks like that:



protected void notifyClient(String from, String message) {

notifyCounter++;
String title = "Message from " + from;
notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, APP_NAME + ": "
+ title, System.currentTimeMillis());
Uri userNameUri = Uri.parse(from);
notificationIntent.setData(userNameUri);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
notificationIntent,
0);

notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, title, message,
pendingIntent);
notification.number = notifyCounter;
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL
| Notification.FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE;

vibraNotififaction();

if (isLEDNotify) {
notification.flags |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS;
notification.ledARGB = Color.MAGENTA;
notification.ledOnMS = 300;
notification.ledOffMS = 1000;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
}



notificationMGR.notify(NOTIFY_ID, notification);
}

private void vibraNotififaction() {
if (isVibraNotify) {
vibrator.vibrate(500);
}
}
private void soundNotification(){
notification.sound = null;
Uri soundUri = TextUtils.isEmpty(ringNotify) ? null : Uri.parse
(ringNotify);
notification.sound =  soundUri;
}

protected void getPreferences(SharedPreferences prefs) {
this.isLEDNotify = 
prefs.getBoolean(PreferenceConstants.LEDNOTIFY,
false);
this.isVibraNotify = prefs.getBoolean
(PreferenceConstants.VIBRATIONNOTIFY, false);
this.ringNotify = prefs.getString
(PreferenceConstants.RINGTONENOTIFY, null);
}

[polzifer]

of course when copying and pasteing I accidentally erased the
"soundNotification();"

from the notifyClient method.

Just nobody gets confused...

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity called from non-Activity context - help

[Jason Van Anden]

Hi Mark,

Thanks Mark ... still stuck tho.  The "it" is the pendingIntent that
is re-activating/restarting the Activity.

Basically, my main Activity starts a Service that continues to run
with or without it.  The Service occasionally updates the status bar.
When the user selects the status bar item, it is supposed to bring the
Activity to the foreground and do something based upon the extras sent
with the pendingIntent.  Selecting the status bar item works fine, the
Activity moves to the foreground ... the problem is the extras.  I
assumed when the Activity was activated it would call onCreate, or
startActivity ... or something else where I could retrieve the extras
from.  onResume gets called - but when it gets called, the intent has
changed via LogCat :

Starting activity: Intent { comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs}
(has extras) }

startActivity called from non-Activity context; forcing
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK for: Intent {
comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs} (has extras) }

RESUMED called here!!!
Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN
categories={android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x1020
comp={com.blah.blahs/com.blah.blahs.Blahs} }

By the time onResume is called, the intent has changed - so there are
no more extras.  This is where either I am totally confused or my
paradigm needs some major shifting.

I really appreciate the help.

That certainly would not have been my expectation, but the whole Android
task model makes my head hurt...which is one of the reasons I don't have
a chapter on it in any of my books. :-(

Have you tried hooking onRestart() or onStart() and see if the desired
extras are available at that point? Or maybe onNewIntent()?

Have you tried adding Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK as a flag on the
PendingIntent you are handing to the Notification? It's possibly that
the "forcing Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK" is somehow contributing to
your woe. You would need this, for example, if your service is a remote
service, in its own application, rather than a local service in the same
application as your activity.

Have you tried FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT with your PendingIntent?

And why do you think your app is blah? You might hurt your app's
feelings with that attitude... ;-)

> This is where either I am totally confused or my

In a pinch, can you have your activity call into your service, in effect
asking "u...you rang?", and get the details you need that way?
Extras would seem to be preferable, but I'm trying to think of
alternatives in case this all gets too painful.

[android-beginners] Re: G1 vs Emulator

[Roman]

I noticed the same on my system. To go around this problem, I switch
to DDMS mode in Eclipse and select the device icon to make sure that
the G1 is recognized. If this is not the case I unplug the G1 and
connect it again. After seeing the G1 as device connected on Eclipse I
switch back to Java mode and start the application.
Then the HW device is picked up and your application is loaded on the
device. Most of the times I get the display that I can select between
emulator and HW device but it seems like it is flaky!

[android-beginners] Re: Can the main activity also be the starting activity?

[Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile)]

The choice of which activity should be launched by an application is
determined by the application developer. Android does not have any
requirements that a setup screen be shown first. That being said, it
is really up to the application developer to determine the user
experience they want to provide to the user and how they want to lay
out their code base.
