[android-beginners] HelloMapView Tutorial not working

[DWischer]

Hi,

im trying to launch the HelloMapView tutorial from the Android Dev
Guide. I copy-pasted the things from the tutorial, but i always get a
ClassNotFound Exception.

Heres the detail message:
com.hellomapview.HelloMapView in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader

com.hellomapview is my package name, HelloMapView is the MapActivity
Class.

What could be the reason for this? I'm trying to get this working
since 2 days.

Regards,
Daniel

[android-beginners] Re: HelloMapView Tutorial not working

[DWischer]

I just tried to make it a lot more easier than the tutorial to find
the error.

This is my main class:
package com.map.maptest;

import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

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

public class MapAppTest extends Activity {

private MapView mv = null;

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

this.mv = new MapView(this, "mykey");


//setContentView(this.mv);
}
}

When i uncomment the line: this.mv = new MapView(this, "mykey");
no error occurs and the app is starting normally.
With this line i get an InvokationTargetException with a Verify Error
with this detail Mesage: com.map.maptest.MapAppTest

I really dont know where to search. I added the uses-library tag to
the Manifest, so the Mapview class should be available.

Regards,
Grinarn

[android-beginners] Re: conference call

[Android Development]

supplementary service implementation should be done at the server side. The
conferencing server will do the media mixing/transcoding etc. The device
(client) will only receive and play RTP streams.

Using setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds() worked perfectly.
Thank you.  But why did that work and not setCompoundDrawables()?

[android-beginners] Re: is it possible to receive incoming call automatically?

[Sean Hodges]

There is no correct way, at this point in time.

Your approach may work (assuming the security model does not prohibit
you), but it may also break when the next Android update is released.

[android-beginners] Re: Android as a Universal Remote for CE/HA?

[Jed]

Thanks to everyone who's offered any useful insights/thoughts thus far.

If you look at the attached diagram I'm hoping to build a device that 
acts a central controller for consumer electronics & home automation.
I want a hand-held to interface with it, this hand-held would ideally 
have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used 
mostly.

So far the best solution I've found is this:
http://openremote.org/display/HOME/OpenRemote

You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low 
power/profile like it would be ideal. 
It's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured 
properly, I'd run this software on top of Ubuntu or maybe LinuxMCE.

I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my HTPC (at least the IR 
part). 
However I'm not sure yet, it might be better to have a dedicated machine. 

This controller would be able to send/receive via; Internet, Wifi, Ethernet, 
IR, X10, proprietary RF, & numerous other CE/HA related protocols.

I'm hoping to make do with my axim x50v as the hand-held but porting to 
android is slow moving so i may eventually have to move to a better 
supported device (preferably with IR but not essential).

I'm interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar? 
Have you played with a platform that's better (in your opinion) than 
openremote? 
Or perhaps you know of a better hware/sware/topology combo for the 
hand-held or controller/s?

Cheers,
Jed

[android-beginners] Re: Passing messages from BroadcastReceiver to Activity

[Justin Anderson]

Use Intent.putExtra() to add the data you want to pass to the activity you
are starting.  There are several different versions of putExtra depending on
the data you want to pass.

Then the activity you are starting can get that information from the bundle
that is passed in via onCreate().

I have never actually done this, but I believe that is how it happens... If
I am wrong, could somebody please correct me?

Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] Re: Passing messages from BroadcastReceiver to Activity

[Anders Feder]

Aha. So I will do something like this in the BroadcastReceiver:

  myIntent.putExtra("x","y");
  myActivity.startActivity(myIntent);

And then in myActivity.onCreate() do something like:

  DoSomething(myBundle.getBundleExtra("x"));

Does that look about right?

If so, how do I tell, in onCreate(), whether the Activity was started by the
user or by my BroadcastReceiver?

Thanks a lot,

Anders Feder

 Hi,

 I'm developing an application with android.telephony.gsm that is
 supposed to process incoming SMS messages.

 I've figured out that I need to have a BroadcastReceiver for receiving
 the incoming messages. But how am I supposed to pass the received
 messages from the BroadcastReceiver and on to my Activity?

 Thanks in advance,

 Anders Feder

[android-beginners] Problem involving emulators and networking.

[ExO PoLiTiX]

Hi

Basically I'm trying to either run two emulators or having an emulator
running and having my android phone connected to the computer at the
same time. I have created a game and all i really want is for the game
screen to update on the other device. Eg if I move my sprite on one
emulator the others view is updated. I was hoping to do this without
the need of a server or using 3G or WIFI. Would anyone be able to tell
me if this is at all possible? I've looked about for quite a while and
cant find any examples of this at all. If its not possible it would be
good if you could give me some suggestions about a way to go about
this task.

Cheers.

[android-beginners] Alarm Triggering Notification

[Magic-H]

Hello Everyone

I'm having a small issue and needed some advice. I have an alarm set
to trigger at a specific date and time. I know how to configure it to
display a toast after the alarm is triggered but I do not know how to
trigger a simple notification. Here is my sample code that displays
the toast after the alarm goes off, any help would be appreciated:

public class AlarmTriggered extends BroadcastReceiver{
Toast mToast;
NotificationManager nm;
private static final int HELLOID = 1;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
mToast = Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm Works",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
mToast.show();

}
}

[android-beginners] Problem with Toast

Hello everyone,

When i try to make a Toast notification from onCreate() method of a

showed. This is part of the code that isn't working.

private Timer timer = new Timer();
private Timer timerTemp = new Timer();
private boolean UI = false;
Servicio[] servs;

public Servicio[] initServicios(SharedPreferences prefs, Servicio
[] servs) {
Log.v("Debug", "Mostrando Toast...");
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "No has especificado una
direccion para el servicio . El servicio no se comprobará!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 . . . .
 . . . .
 . . . .

[android-beginners] Creating an AVD

[Trina]

Hi,

I am using Vista. I have been trying to create an AVD, but have had
little success.  In my directory I go to android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1/
tools.  I then open the android application which brings me to command
promt.  Initially when opened the command prompt says that I do not
have access and precedes to take me to 'android sdk'.  So, I also
tried this under admin access, but received the same results. The
command prompt states 'no command parameters provided, launching ui'.
I then opened cmd and tried to go in manually with no luck. Cmd would
not let me open android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1.  I am trying to  do the
following command line:

android create avd -n  -t  [- ] ...

This is provided by: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html

Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

[android-beginners] Android communication

[Jerome White]

I'd like to build an application in which there are several Android
devices that communicate amongst themselves. What is the best way to
do this? Wi-Fi seems like a good option, in that you can discover your
neighbors and don't need any hard coded identifiers (such a phone
number), but I'm not sure. What is the standard practice? Thanks

[android-beginners] addProximityAlert() doesn't fire intent

[Joe77]

Hi,

I am new to Android development and I am trying to write an App that
uses the addProximityAlert() method. I know my intent / intent-filters
work (as I can manually fire the intent) however I cannot seem to get
addProximityAlert to fire an intent.  I've searched on various forums
and read the API docs numerous times however have not been able to
determine what is wrong with my code.  Any ideas?

package com.example.gpsprox;


import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;


public class GpsProx extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

private LocationManager lm;
   private Proximity prox;
String phoneNo;
String message;
double latitude;
double longitude;
float radius;

private static final String PROXIMITY_ALERT =
"com.example.gpsprox.PROXIMITY_ALERT";





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



//---use the LocationManager class to obtain GPS locations---
lm = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);





  // Use addProximityAlert public method of locationmanager

// Test Latitude / Longitude is at corner of Bute Gardens and
the broadway.

latitude = 51.4935684;
longitude = -0.2223873;
radius = 0;
 //   Context context;

Intent intent = new Intent(PROXIMITY_ALERT);

   PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext
(), 0, intent, 0);



  //  sendBroadcast(intent);


lm.addProximityAlert(latitude, longitude, radius, -1, pi);

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(PROXIMITY_ALERT);
registerReceiver(new Proximity(), filter);

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button);
button.setOnClickListener(this);

Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Got here!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


}

 // Implement the OnClickListener callback
public void onClick(View v) {

// lm.removeProximityAlert(GpsProx.pi);


finish();

}

public class Proximity extends BroadcastReceiver
{






@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent 
intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub


Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Got here too!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

 String key = LocationManager.KEY_PROXIMITY_ENTERING;
boolean entering = 
intent.getBooleanExtra(key, false);


//  Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();

if(entering) {

// we know that the device is entering the location.
// display a message and send a text message.

Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Entered the zone!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();



}

}



}


}

Thanks,

[android-beginners] I can't make a scheduled task fire

[aefaradien]

Hi guys,

I have spend over an hour trying to make this work now.  I must be
missing something obvious, but no amount of searching is working.

I am trying to schedule a task to run every few minutes, and i am
trying to do it using scheduleAtFixedRate().

I am testing this in a very basic hello world app to isolate it from
the rest of my project.  I have a very simple app with one Activity
and in its onCreate() method i have the following code:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

final Runnable task = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "RUN!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
final ScheduledExecutorService locationUdateScheduler =
Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
locationUdateScheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(
task, 1, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

For some reason i can not work out, when i run this I never see the
toast message.  Any help debugging this would be much appreciated.

p.s. i have a vague hunch it might be because i have not added
something to the manifest file, but searching around the internet
reveals nothing of relevance.

[android-beginners] CheckBox with Background attribute renders incorrectly?

[Droidnostics]

Beginners question: why does the CheckBox render the text (when setText is
invoked) behind the checkbox (instead of next to the checkbox) when an
background image is assigned?

Second question: how do I make it *not* render behind the checkbox (and
still use a background image)?

 

Layout code:



http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";

  android:id="@+id/check"

  android:layout_width="wrap_content"

  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

  android:text="This checkbox is: unchecked"

  android:background="@drawable/icon"

   />

 

 

Main class

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.CheckBox;

import android.widget.CompoundButton;

import android.widget.CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener;

 

public class TestCheckBox extends Activity implements
OnCheckedChangeListener 

{

  CheckBox m_checkBox;

  

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 

{

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 

setContentView(R.layout.main);



m_checkBox = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.check);

 

m_checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);

}

 

  public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean
isChecked) 

  {

if (isChecked)

  m_checkBox.setText("Checkbox is checked");

else

  m_checkBox.setText("Checkbox is unchecked");

  }

}

[android-beginners] How to set button background color?

[Nicholas Key]

Hi group members,

I have a question about setting the background color for buttons.
When I am using btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED), the entire button
turns into a red rectangle.

Is there actually a workaround to achieve this?

Also what can I do to revert back to the default color of the button
(the typical plain greysh background).

Thanks,

Nicholas

[android-beginners] What API should I use ? Local Service Binding ? Remote Service Binding ? Handler ?)

[Tim]

Hello,

I am very new beginner, and I am designing a small application as
below.

- After a user starts the application, he/she can click the start
button to start a background task. (e.g. retrieving the news headlines
periodically, then do something...)

- Even after the user quits the application, the background task still
running.

- To stop the background task, the user needs to run the application
again, and clicks the stop button to stop the background task.

In the above scenario, what API should I use ? (Local Service
Binding ? Remote Service Binding ? Handler ?)

[android-beginners] Re: CheckBox with Background attribute renders incorrectly?

You need to add padding to your background drawable.

This seems like there is a problem with your apikey.
Did you copy your apikey in the place of mykey?

Good Luck

[android-beginners] Re: I can't make a scheduled task fire

[aefaradien]

Since i did eventually work it out, i might as well post the answer
here for anyone who searches in the future:

final Handler handler = new Handler() {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Run!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};

class ScheduledTaskWithHandeler implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}

final ScheduledExecutorService locationUdateScheduler =
Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
scheduleHandle = locationUdateScheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new
ScheduledTaskWithHandeler(), 1, 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

The reason is: scheduled tasks are run in another thread, so you must
used a handler (which lives on the main thread) to do the work.  Any
messages sent to the handler are processed the next time the main
thread processes messages and events (near instant if the main thread
is not busy).

[android-beginners] Re: Battery Usage Indicator API - JDK 1.6

[SagarH]

I searched the entire API... couldn't find BatteryStats.

Also, when I run the emulator, I went to Settings ->About Phone-
>Battery Usage

That's exactly what I was looking for but sadly it comes with the OS.
Any idea where could I get help to reach that application? I suppose,
this IS the official Android forum. So, I hope to get some help from
the people who built that application.

[android-beginners] Re: Passing messages from BroadcastReceiver to Activity

[Justin Anderson]

I believe that would be correct.

As far as I can tell, the only way to determine the difference is by
checking the following:
- Bundle is null
- Bundle doesn't have the key you specified.

Again, I have not had the need to do this yet so I am only speculating.  But
this is what I understand from having read through the Dev Guide.

Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

[Justin Anderson]

I have already asked the same question, and later the solution on another
thread.  Just do a quick search for "code base" and you will find out how to
do this.

If you have done this already, then you can ignore this, but a lot of
duplicate questions can be eliminated simply by searching for an answer
before posting a new question...

Justin

The default button background is not a color, but rather a 9-patch png
image.  Your best bet would be to create a similar 9-patch png image in your
favorite image editing software that has a red background.

[android-beginners] Re: charting

[vorcigernix]

I have to partly agree...it makes sense to build platform as small as
possible. On other hand..there is big value in charting controls for
lazy developers and charting library can be very small. So..I am not
calling to have a charting library in core. It should be option as
google libraries (maps, etc).

Btw.. now is even TTS in core :)

[android-beginners] Re: Android communication

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

If you want to communicate within a wireless LAN  (using
infrastructure mode on Wifi) you can come up with your own discovery
protocol.

If you want to communicate outside your locale network, you might want
to use some cloud service which can help with client discovery.

Another option might be Wifi Adhoc. Current Android SDK has no support
for Wifi Adhoc, but you can get it running on platform level (or wait
till it's supported).

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

[Steve]

I don't think the other thread explained how to do this without
creating two package names.  You would either have to re-name your
package each time you published, or you would need two different
projects, wouldn't you?

Another approach is to try to pull out as much common functionality as
you can into a 3rd Java-only project, with each of your projects (paid
and free).  The tough part is that you can't move anything that
references resources into a Java-only project.

[android-beginners] Scroll Left and Right

[Mitch]

I posted a question that I never got a response to.  I'm starting to
think what I'm trying to do must be impossible. I see a ListView that
allow me to go up and down.   As a consolation prize, is there any way
I can pan left and right even if it can't go up and down at the same
time?  If this isn't possible, then I assume I'll need to find another
way.

See original question below...

Thanks

From: Mitch
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 22:54:17 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Spreadsheet View

I've been trying to make a layout that displays something like a mini
spreadsheet that's specialized for my app.  I would like it to have
headers for both rows and columns.  The row header can only pan left
and right.  The column header can only pan up and down.

Hard to explain in words, so I'll try a picture (must be seen in a
fixed pitch font):


Stays| ... T3 T4 T5 ...
---
.
Row 3| ... 32 31  7 ...
Row 4| ... 17 21  9 ...
.


If the user pushes the image up the screen, row 3 goes away and row 5
appears but the header row stays.  If the user pushes the image to
the
left, column T3 goes away and column T6 appears and the header column
stays.


Having the "..." continuation hint would be nice, but is not
required.


I would also like to be able to have more than 1 header row and
column
(the ones that stay fixed). The info in the upper left quadrant of
the
spreadsheet would always stay put.


It would be good to have the spreadsheet retain orientation in both
landscape and portrait to allow the user to choose if the rows or
columns would benefit from more display space.


A nice feature would be to let the user resize rows and/or columns.
This would be especially helpful for the fixed headers as display
space is at a premium.


I don't see anything that scrolls right or left nor anything that
would scroll both right/left and up/down as would be needed for the
lower right quadrant so I'm not even sure where to start.


I suspect nothing like this exists as a single view I can simple drop
into my xml, but how would I create such a thing by combining other
views?  Is there some other way through code to do his?


I'm new so simple hints are appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

[android-beginners] Re: Integrating G729 codec in mjsip

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

SipDroid has right now implemented the G711 on Java level. You can use
the current implementation as a guideline for your G729 codec
implementation (how to pass the raw audio to the convert API).

First you should answer the question whether you want to implement
your codec on Java or on native level. Converting raw audio to G711 is
pretty straight forward and not as "expensive" as converting your raw
audio to G729 format (find a native implementation at
http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs-g729-g723.1/).


Be aware of that you can use g729 only for trial purposes. If you try
to sell an app using g729 you need a license!

[android-beginners] Re: Problem involving emulators and networking.

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

You can directly communicate on Wifi from emulator to another phone if
you are in the same LAN. There would be no server required. Only thing
what you have to think about is, how do you get the IP address of your
destination (discovery protocol on Wifi)?

HorizontalScrollView, but I suspect that's not what you want to solve your

You will need to draw this yourself, in all likelihood. Create a subclass
of View and implement onDraw(), using the supplied Canvas to render your
2D-scrolling grid. You would track your own scrolling, draw your
gridlines, paint in your shaded cells, render your text, etc.

I do not have any examples of this handy, as I haven't used the technique
myself. However, most 2D games use this, so you may find some examples or
tutorials there.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

[Justin Anderson]

The method is to have a main application and an application that acts a key
to "unlock" functionality in the main app.  You can't upload two products
with the same package to the android market.

Doing it the way I described in the other thread allows the main application
to contain all the functionality to run in both "lite" and "paid" modes.
The mode that the application runs in is determined by whether you have the
key installed, which of course would have to have a separate package name
because you are not allowed to upload two projects with the same package
name.

The application that acts as a key never even has to run... it just has to
exist. Although, in my case, I have my key program set to just launch my
main app and quit.

Pulling common stuff out into a separate library would "work" (kind of) but
it would not be as easy as my method.

Thanks,
Justin

It's not even just a 9-patch. It is a StateListDrawable of many 9-patch
images (regular, pressed, focused, selected, disabled, etc.).

It's not in the API. It is in the source code. This is why you cannot

You will find this stuff in the source code. http://source.android.com, or
Google Code Search.

You may not find the authors of that application on this list, though.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

So a user would need to download both the free app, as well as the paid app
(which unlocks features in the free app)?
Is there a way where a user could download just the paid app?

[android-beginners] Re: Android communication

[Chris Stratton]

Or to put it another way, the current method is to use a make a server
somewhere on the internet (or perhaps wifi intranet)  to catalog and
function as an intermediary between the phones.

In the future or maybe now with low-level hacking, ad-hoc wifi or
something bluetooth based could become an option.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

[Jeffrey Blattman]

what's missing from the market is dependencies. i often had the idea of
publishing an "app" that is just a service for use by other apps ...
but the fact that the user needs to manually download the service first
sort of rules that out.

if we had dependencies, you could have an app core and then have a free
and paid app "check" that depend on the core. all the checker activity
does it set some bit and then launch the core.  yes i know that's a lot
of hand waving.

[android-beginners] Re: HelloMapView coming up with empty tiles

[Clayton]

I pulled the apikey by submitting the fingerprint I got from the
debug.keystore for the androiddebugkey which was what it said to do on
the dev site.  I copied that api key off of the webpage and pasted it
directly MapView android:apikey element in the main.xml (and I've
repeated and verified this several times).  Since I doubt the api key
I'm retrieving from the site is invalid, is there any other reasons I
could be getting empty tiles back that anyone is aware of?  This is
really frustrating as the app I'm writing needs maps so I can't really
proceed until I get this working.  If I download a new SDK will my
androiddebugkey change?  I suppose I could try this.

[Justin Anderson]

*> So a user would need to download both the free app, as well as the paid
app (which unlocks features in the free app)?*

Yes.  I don't think that is that big of a deal... That is how the Documents
To Go app by DataViz works.  And that is an extremely successful app.  Also,
the paid app does virtually nothing, and so the size of it is not really an
issue.

*> Is there a way where a user could download just the paid app?*

There sure is.  That is how my current version of AppSwipe! works.  I am
switching to the "Key" method I mentioned above with my next release because
it makes maintaining the code so much simpler.

It is a royal pain to have both of them on the market because they have to
have different package names...  And since the package of an application in
Java is based on a real file structure, it makes it a bear to change the
package just to be able to create the paid .apk file.

My justification for using the paid key is that, in the long run, the users
will benefit because it is much easier for the developer to maintain the
code and so there will be less bugs.  It will also make it easier to fix
bugs because they can be fixed in a single place.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Lite and Pro version of an application

[Justin Anderson]

*> what's missing from the market is dependencies. *

I wholeheartedly agree...

*> i often had the idea of publishing an "app" that is just a service for
use by other apps ... but the fact that the user needs to manually download
the service first sort of rules that out.

*Yes and no.  It is a little bit of an annoyance, but the programmer who
wishes to use your service could look for it and provide a one-button-push
method for them to go to the market and install it.

My paid key app does just this.  When the user tries to launch it, it simply
tries to launch the free version of my app.  If the free version doesn't
exist an exception is thrown and I display a dialog that more or less says
"AppSwipe! was not found.  Please go to the market and install it now"  The
dialog has a button that says "Go to market..." and when they click on that
it goes to the market and pulls up only the application that needs to be
installed.

It sounds like a lot of work, but really it isn't all that bad.  I
programmed that functionality in about 20 minutes.

Thanks,
Justin

[android-beginners] zoomToSpan() then setZoom()

[Jeffrey Blattman]

i have some code that uses zoomToSpan(...), then calls getZoomLevel()
and based on the result may call setZoom(...). this is to ensure a
minimum zoom level. 

what i am seeing is that the call to setZoom(...) is ignored and the
level is not set. does zoomToSpan() introduce some sort of pending
operation that when executed overwrites the call to setZoom()? perhaps
the operation hasn't animated to the value yet?

not sure if there's another way to do this ... as i don't think there's
any way to go directly from a lat-lng span to a zoom level other than
calling zoomToSpan() and getting the result.

any ideas?

thanks.

[android-beginners] Double-Permissions when publishing to Android Market?

[callingshotgun]

I'm running into a strange issue publishing on the Android market, and
am wondering if anybody else has seen the same:

Basically, whatever permissions I list in my "Android Manifest" file
get listed twice when I upload the APK.  By way of example, here's a
direct copy/paste from the upload area...

--
This apk requests 6 permissions that users will be warned about
'android.permission.READ_CONTACTS'
'android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS'
'android.permission.CALL_PHONE'
android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
android.permission.CALL_PHONE
--

And here are the three relevant lines in my android manifest file
---



--

I've tried uploading in FF3.5, IE7, and IE8, and modified the
permissions tags to end with a space before the trailing /> and
without.  Every permutation of any possible quirk I try to work
around, still ends up with the whole "everything listed twice" issue.
Those three permission tags are direct children of the  tag.

I don't actually know if this is something I should even care about,
but I did notice earlier today that I couldn't search for my
application ("Contacts Evolved") in the market, wheras I could before
my phone updated to donut... I had to un-publish and re-publish the
app for it to show up again.  It downloads fine now, but still gives
me the feeling that something is "wrong" that might cause issues down
the line, and I'd like to get it fixed.

Any ideas on what's happening, or if it's happened to anybody else,
would be greatly appreciated:)

[android-beginners] plz help with sdcard image file and push command not working!!

[wahib]

hi !! I have created a image file in a folder /androidimages and when
i try to run emulator from terminal giving path to this image file it
gives error:

i try => $ emulator -sdcard /home/soms/androidemuimages/androidnew.img
-avd androidnew
error=> SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device

as a second alternative i give path to this image file in AVD manager
in eclipse but even it doesnt recognises it i guess. coz when i try to
use camera it display the toast that sdcard is not enabled.

=

second problem is that when i try to push a .bmp file to sdcard using
$ adb push bar3.bmp /sdcard
there is no error but there is no change in logcat and no image added
to gallery. or is it somewhere else?:S

Plz forgive if i sound childish.

Thanks in advance,
regards,
wahib

the push command worked now as i tried chmod 777 /sdcard using shell.
Then i tried copying it to sdcard/Camera/DCIM/bar3.bmp and it is
successfully copied but problem is that it isnt shown in the gallery.
I even tried moving jpeg image but same problem even after restarting

[android-beginners] Re: Passing messages from BroadcastReceiver to Activity

[Justin Anderson]

Turns out I just barely had to do something similar...

In order to get the data from the intent you created, you need to do the
following in the activity that is started:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null)
{
  ...do stuff...
  String value = extra.getString("myKey");
}

Thanks,
Justin
