[android-beginners] Re: Help me in Creating a AVD

2009-08-07 Thread Gibson


I think the easiest way is to use ADT. Do you know the ADT installed
in Eclipse. Using it is quite easy and you don't have to remember the
so long command parameters.

[android-beginners] Re: showing error while adding editview in linearlayout.

2009-08-07 Thread Gibson


The error is because you defined a TextView inside a ListView. You
know ListView first is an AdapterView. You cannot add a view into
AdapterView because it is not supported. What you can do is to define
an Adapter(such as ArrayAdapter) then set the adapter into the
ListView. Hope this can help you.

Are you sure you added android SDK path do you PATH environment variable?

"Optionally, you may want to add the location of the SDK's primary
toolsdirectory to your system PATH. The primary
tools/ directory is located at the root of the SDK folder. Adding tools to
your path lets you run Android Debug Bridge (adb) and the other command line
tools without
needing to supply the full path to the tools directory."

Java/Dalvik bytecode? No.

Android Scripting Environment scripts? Probably -- haven't played with
it yet.

SIMPLE language scripts? Perhaps -- haven't played with it either.

Directly using a scripting engine like Beanshell? Yes, once you get a
Dalvik-friendly edition.

If by "app" you mean a full-fledged Android APK, no.

> What options exist for transmitting data and/or code?

Name an Internet protocol (HTTP, SMTP, FTP, XMPP, etc.), and given
sufficient effort, you can probably get it working.

The challenge is if you are trying to avoid an intermediary server.
Having device A upload to a server (e.g., HTTP) and device B download
from the same server is easy. It may not be possible for device A and
device B to directly talk to each other, particularly if they are not
both on the same WiFi subnet.

Ideally, you don't -- you use an intermediary server.

If I were you, I'd focus on a scripting language and some sort of
HTTP-based exchange via some rented Web host, at least for the prototype
of your app.

[android-beginners] Re: Encoding for G1 using ffmpeg

2009-08-07 Thread Justin Grammens

WOW. Thanks Mark for the links and explanation. Was wondering why the
same movie that I have on the SD card plays fine, but when I put it on
a website and accessed over http:// I get "This video can not be
played".
I'm sorry Android Devs, but this is very disappointing. Playing a
video via http:// should be brain dead simple, and alas with Android,
as compared to other platforms, it is not. Sounds like any video I (or
my clients) create, needs to have -hint associated with it and must be
run through MP4Box or some other program to it can be played when
served over http?
Bummer, as other platforms (iPhone) just play these video right out of
the box. What gives on Android? that the iPhone SDK is able to do, or

[android-beginners] Payment for service

2009-08-07 Thread jbrohan


Hello
Could someone please point me to a discussion of payment for service
in the Android environment. The application is medical, where the user
sends a picture to the service (a real human nurse) and gets an
opinion in return. The nurse needs to get some money out of the deal.

The whole thing is a bit casual so people can sign up send a pic and
make a payment and that's it. Or it could go on for months as the
patient gets better. The amount per transaction is about $20.00.
There are various models available. For example a person could buy a
"5-pack" or they could have free service for some reason or other. Or
they could receive an email telling them that the "opinion" is
available and they need to fork over the $$$. I suppose we could just
make and email an invoice. Anyone have experience of the payment rate
for these invoices?

Obviously I'm looking for the simplest most universal payment method.
Is this available in Google Market?
Thanks
John

[android-beginners] Re: api's to display an image file stored in local folder

2009-08-07 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile)

Where are you trying to read the image from ?

1. If it is packaged with your apk, you can retrieve it by accessing
the Resources.
  Resources res = mContext.getResources();
  Drawable myImage = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.my_image);
It can also be done all in XML. There is more info here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html

2. If it is part of the MediaStore (which has access to images on the
device's internal and external storage devices like the SDCARD)
  MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(...)

3. If you are trying to download it from a server, you would need to
use something like shown here..

http://getablogger.blogspot.com/2008/01/android-download-image-from-server-and.html

Where are you trying to display the image ?
You can check out using ImageView or using the draw methods to create
a Custom View.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageView.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html

Hope this helps,

[android-beginners] Re: Launching Settings

2009-08-07 Thread Teal


Awesome!  Thanks Balwinder, your code works perfectly.

A little exploration: I tried to use Intent.ACTION_MAIN instead of
Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS for the action because that's what
the DDMS seemed to indicate.  But the difference is that it first
leads me to the Settings, and then to Security & Location.  But your
code directly leads me to Security & Location, which is what I want
for activity stack purposes.  Thanks again.

[android-beginners] Accelerometer and dpad

2009-08-07 Thread Steeler


I want to include accelerometer support in my app, but the
documentation seemed pretty spotty. How many axes of rotation does the
accelerometer support, and how do you differentiate between the axes?

Also, do *any* current Android phones actually have a dpad? The
emulator's not as useful as it could be if it doesn't have any
emulation of the accelerometer (if it does, please let me know) and
has a dpad instead of the real-life trackball.

How to share the variable pippo between the program that launches the
thread and the thread itself?

@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
int pippo = 5;
new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {pippo;
};};},0,1000);

This is the result of the compiler...

"Cannot refer to a non-final variable pippo inside an inner class
defined in a different method."

Many thanks in advance.
Regards

Android Beginner

I think you are not using the handler for the updating of the GUI
which is
causing problem.

Take a look at this tutorial that explains the basics of GUI/View
updates.

[android-beginners] Sample Code missing

The folder that should contain the sample code for the Android SDK
does not exist for me.  I've downloaded the SDK two times and neither
one contained it.

Any idea where I might find the folder and the corresponding sample
code so I can start figuring out how to program?

Thanks,

Nathan

Bear in mind that starting with Android 1.5, the sample code is on a
per-platform basis. So, if you want the 1.5 code, the samples are in:

$SDK_ROOT/platforms/android-1.5/samples/

where $SDK_ROOT is whatever directory you installed the SDK to.

Unless they changed the 1.5r3 SDK since I downloaded it, the ZIP file
definitely contains the samples.

[android-beginners] Re: Cant run HelloAndriod

2009-08-07 Thread Lutz Schönemann


Try setting the Android API version you want your app to use.
Do this by opening the projects "Properties -> Android -> Project Build
Target"

The lower you set it the more poeple can use it because not every phone
has the same version of Android.
The higher you set it the more functionality you can use or it's  
easier to
use. But be carefull there are differences in the API versions you  
should
attent.

On Ubuntu I would look in the following sub-directory.

android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3/platforms/android-1.5/samples

The samples would probably be some where else on a Mac.

[android-beginners] Re: Why XML to define layouts/components?

2009-08-07 Thread Yusuf T. Mobile


If your question is "why even use XML to layout UI?" the answer is
"because some people like it better; they find it easier and cleaner;
other's prefer to do it in Java". As Teal said, you don't have to use
XML if you don't like. I at first found the XML layout method foreign,
and the plethora of approaches daunting. I would have benefitted from
a tutorial that first focused on only Java and then broadened to XML,
but I survived and now find XML UI layout to be useful, sometimes.

2009-08-07 Thread Casper Bang


Exactly my point, it seems like it would be easier to learn Android
that way. It wasn't until I found Mark Murphy's "The Busy Coder's
Guide to Android Development" that I starting feeling a bit more
comfortable with all the XML (lots of examples gradually introduced,
unlike the O'Reilly and Manning books I have).

Also, Roman Guy replied in another thread, that you can't do the same
with Java as you can with XML (although that seems odd, all other XML
view technologies I know of ultimately translates into a Java
component tree):

You can do the same, but with XML the system will automatically select
the appropriate layout based on the device's configuration. You could
do it by hand if you really wanted but have fun with that. There is
really very little point in building the UI from Java code except
complicating the source code and making some things harder (like
supporting configurations.)

That is due to the subliminal "angle brackets are your friends" I have

His second post was a bit confusing to me, but I think he was trying to
echo the point he tried to emphasize in his first post.

When you get to the Resources chapter in the aforementioned book,
there's a section at the end that covers resource sets. Those allow you
to have different resources loaded based on different criteria, from
user language to screen resolution to the existence of a QWERTY
keyboard, and beyond. While it is technically possible to do all of that
in Java, you'll drown in a sea of if(), switch(), and ternary operators.

Similarly, while it is technically possible to use containers like
RelativeLayout fully in Java, it is *much* more verbose than setting
them up in XML.

Finally, one key reason why any development platform uses XML for
anything is to help support the creation of tools to manipulate it.
Admittedly, that hasn't happened much with Android, outside of the main
SDK tools and stuff like MOTODEV's extensions on the same. But it is
much easier to build tools to generate and modify XML-based UIs than it
is to build tools to generate and modify Java-based UIs, IMHO.

Those sorts of arguments may not matter much to you, which is why the
Java-based approach is available and valid. I use it sometimes myself,
though not terribly often. Choose the approach that you like.

[android-beginners] Debugger doesn't work

2009-08-07 Thread Steeler


I have Eclipse Ganymede and the Android ADT plugin. I'm able to test
code in the emulator, and everything's working fine... except that
when using breakpoints, the debugger will stop working all of a
sudden. Sometimes I can step through a few lines, sometimes it'll do
it right away. When it happens, sometimes it will ask me to give it a
new path to find the source code; other times it'll give me an error
page that has the name of some file or activity (not always the same,
even when debugging one project) and say "Source not found" and "The
JAR of this class file belongs to container 'Android 1.5' which does
not allow modifications to source attachments on its entries." Then
underneath that it has a lot of code.

What the heck is going on?

Sounds like your .trace file is truncated or broken somehow.  Do you
see errors if you simply "dmtracedump -h  > /dev/
null" ?

Also: do you have "dot"?  If not, you'll just get:

% dmtracedump -h foo.trace > /dev/null

[android-beginners] Question Regarding the Background Menu

2009-08-07 Thread Hamed3d


Hi there,

I have a GUI question and hope someone can help me out.

I am trying to make a GUI where I have 3 buttons ( start, about,
exit). What I need is to have a background behind these buttons. For
instance Xgalaga game for android. When you start the game there are 3
buttons and behind them is a background.

in my layout I have a main.xml that has ( LinearLayout, and 3
buttons). I tried to add (@drawable/mybackgorundimage) to background
section of LinearLayout (). Well it works but the image is stretched
out and I know this is not a right way.

Some Extra Questions that came to my mind also:

How many ways are possible to this?

What if the background is an animation?

What is the most efficient way to do this?


I would appreciate if someone provide me with a sample code.


Thanks,

ApiDemos in the SDK has a service example for
Local service and Remote service..
Basically we need to have an AIDL file for each (Service and client)
And thier skeletons(Which are interfaces) should be defined by you..

[android-beginners] Re: Cant run HelloAndriod

2009-08-07 Thread Brett Chabot


It sounds like you're selecting "Run As > Android JUnit Test" when
attempting to run your app. This will attempt to execute all the JUnit
tests in your project, but your project is not properly configured as
a test project. What you probably want instead is to select "Run As >
Android Application". This will install the app on the emulator, and
launch its default activity.

Brett.
