[android-beginners] Re: Help with Activites

2009-08-19 Thread Neilz

Thanks for the replies. Two more questions...

1) When the activity is started from the main activity, I would want
the user to click a button to indicate they have finished, and to
return to the initial activity again. What's the best way to ensure
that the original one is displayed as before?


2) My original question was actually more directed towards the device,
rather than from a programming point of view. I was wondering how, on
the device, you can see what is running - like for example in Windows
where you can see all the applications in the taskbar, or even the
list of apps in the task manager. Does android have anything similar?

[android-beginners] Re: I am trying to log my gps location to a website.

2009-08-19 Thread Lutz Schönemann

Usually you'll see it in the log files. I allways log the Exception  
message in addition to the stack trace so you always know what the  
problem is.

If you use a function that needs a special permission you don't have  
in your AndroidManifest.xml it will throw a SecurityException. If you  
haven't enclosed the call to that function in a try-block this will  
cause to stop your application. So you'll see it w/o logging.

Hope this helps

[android-beginners] Re: What is really locked in the HTC Magic?

2009-08-19 Thread Casper Bang

I guess it depends of the context of the world 'lock'. Although the
Scandinavian isn't, I believe most stock phones (certainly the carrier
branded ones) would be SIM locked as well as firmware locked (can't
flash an unsigned image). This would both be different from the ADP.

So if you get your phone SIM unlocked you should be well underway.
What I can not tell you is whether flashing new SPL and i.e. the Ion
firmware (G2 ADP) onto the device would also take care of the SIM lock
and save you some €, but I suppose you have nothing to lose by trying.
But perhaps you should consult http://www.xda-developers.com/

[android-beginners] Re: What is really locked in the HTC Magic?

2009-08-19 Thread Casper Bang

The process is covered other places, potentially a bit controversial
to post in detail in here. Note that you only need new SPL if you want
to flash unsigned firmwares (like the ADP allows). If all you want to
do is create programs and don't want to play around with alternative
firmwares, then you won't really gain much except perhaps the ability
to create especially powerful/rooted applications.

It is unclear from the code from which thread you are launching the

Timer/TimerTask runs on a background thread.

If you look at adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse, you
may see a stack trace that will give you more clues.

You may need to use Activity#runOnUiThread() or View#post() or a Handler
or something to arrange to display the dialog from the UI thread.

I have not used this class personally, so I do not know the requirements

[android-beginners] Re: Help with Activites

2009-08-19 Thread Justin Anderson
1) When an activity is started from another, to the best of my knowledge,
the only way to get back to the original activity is to use the back button
on the device (assuming the activity is not one you created).  If the second
activity is one you created, then you could probably place a button on it
that simulates the behavior of the back button.

2) Android does not have anything built into the OS that allows you to see
what is running.  The only built-in way to switch between running

However, there are several apps that you can download that provide this

 Thanks for the replies. Two more questions...

 1) When the activity is started from the main activity, I would want
 the user to click a button to indicate they have finished, and to
 return to the initial activity again. What's the best way to ensure
 that the original one is displayed as before?


 2) My original question was actually more directed towards the device,
 rather than from a programming point of view. I was wondering how, on
 the device, you can see what is running - like for example in Windows
 where you can see all the applications in the taskbar, or even the
 list of apps in the task manager. Does android have anything similar?

Try new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS) instead, unless I am

 I am now going trough the Notepad Tutorial and I have problem with the
 second exercise. Notepadv2.

 after i have done all the steps, and run the application, i do not see
 the Delete Note menu item. I have only the Add Note menue item.
 (it does not work even in the Notepadv2Solution project!)

 Also, I do not understand why we use the method: public boolean
 onCreateContextMenu to add the Delete Note menu item whereas we
 used other method to add the Add Note menu item.

 I have tried to debug the application and noticed that basically the
 application does not enter into the public boolean
 onCreateContextMenu method and thus probably, it does not add the
 Delete Note menu item.

 Thanks allot for your help.

The camera application takes pictures nicely but they don't appear in

look fine on my PC.

What's wrong with these files? Anybody Know?

In terms of the Gallery, I believe that is handled via the MediaStore:

However, I haven't used it.

In terms of emails, if you are referring to sending the emails yourself
programmatically, this should work:

 If not, how would you go about implementing this - take a photo, send

 Use a third-party component, like ZXing:
 
 http://code.google.com/p/zxing/

I can recommend using the Barcode Scanner intent as described here:
http://www.openintents.org/en/node/94

This is a lot more convenient than to put all that ZXing code in your

anyway and work pretty well.

[android-beginners] Emulator Internet Issues as Stand-Alone

2009-08-19 Thread Elysium

Heyho!
I'm developing an App for School, and my teacher asked me if it is
possible that he gets kind of an image to check the App out
himself.

Well, I can't lend him my precious Magic, and I don't want to let him
struggle with installing the whole SDK.

So what I did was, I kinda exported the Emulator as a stand-alone
app. I specified via cmd all the necessary images.

Actually, its working. Even my App is stored on there, and seems to
work as well. But no internet. The Emulator itself HAS Internet,
Google Maps and the Browser are working fine. But my MapView won't
load anything, it just stays gray. And yes, permissions are set of
course, and in my normal environment it works like a charm.

Can anyone help me out?

Greetz!

[android-beginners] Re: Comparing different dates

2009-08-19 Thread Jack Ha

The year specified in setYear() should be the year since 1900. That
said, it should be 109 (2009-1900) instead of 2009.

It seems like you are running your program as Android JUnit Test as

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...

2009-08-19 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Justin,

The framework does a check on the permissions of the applications you
are trying to start. In the case of how you are trying to start the
activities the framework does not grant the permission. In general if
you would be root or the owner of the calendar application (in this
case its the system ) you get the permission granted right away to
start the activity.

In your case the check for the permission is not successful because of
the wrong permission is passed down to the framework.

I did not find out what permission you need in your case. But if you
want to spend time investigating the framework code look at
checkComponentPermission()  in frameworks/base/services/java/com/
android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java


final int perm = checkComponentPermission(aInfo.permission,
callingPid,
callingUid, aInfo.exported ? -1 :
aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);
if (perm != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (resultRecord != null) {
sendActivityResultLocked(-1,
resultRecord, resultWho, requestCode,
Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null);
}
String msg = Permission Denial: starting  +
intent.toString()
+  from  + callerApp +  (pid= + callingPid
+ , uid= + callingUid + )
+  requires  + aInfo.permission;
Log.w(TAG, msg);
throw new SecurityException(msg);
}



By the way starting the calendar app in this way does not cause any
exception

Intent calendarIntent = new Intent() ;
calendarIntent.setFlags
(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT );
calendarIntent.setClassName
(com.android.calendar,com.android.calendar.MonthActivity);

[android-beginners] Re: Emulator Proxy

2009-08-19 Thread swapnil

Hi,

I don't exactly know why such things happen but you can try with
different Primary Key valeues such as (101,111).

In my case same thing was problem but once I change this the things
are working pretty fine.

Have a go  check if you also get same things or not.

Aslo while setting proxy use the ip address rather that name.


Regards,
Swapnil Dalal.
