[android-beginners] Why do I need requery() when I already have notifyDataSetChanged()

[jax]

I had an adapter that was no updating properly when I called

myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()

This causes much headache an finally I tried

cursor.requery(); //This is the cursor on which myAdapter is connected
to
myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();


My Question is - Why do I need to run requery()? I thought that
notifyDataSetChanged() would automatically update the cursor for us!

[android-beginners] Emulator crashed on X86_64 Gentoo (SDK 1.6)

[Brian Hsu]

I'm really excited about the Android 1.6 release and its new feature.

I installed android-sdk-1.6 on my Gentoo box using the following
command.

# emerge android-sdk

It successfully installed and I could create an AVD named TestAVD
using the "android" command.

But when I tried to run emulator with TestAVD, I got a Segmentation
fault message and the emulator crashed.

Does anyone run android 1.6 emulator successfully on 64bit Linux ?

[android-beginners] Re: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

[Prabakar]

I actually drag and drop SurfaceView into main layout. Then where should i go 
and change the sizes(height and width)? I have to change it in Properties? If 
yes, then i changed 'layout height' and 'layout width' to 320*480 in the 
Properties of SurfaceView, but it says error as 'Integer type not allowed'. I 
don't know what's up with this?

The same ways you make any widget take up the full screen. For example,
make it be the only widget in the layout and set android:layout_width
and android:layout_height each to be fill_parent.

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[Paul Turchenko]

Another way you can use to share common data between activities is
having it in the Application's instance. Just create your own
Application - derived class, tell Android via manifest to use it and
you can easily access it from any context. Say you have MyApplication
extending Application, then (after specifying that in manifest) you
can access your MyApplication's instance via (MyApplication)
getApplication() call from any of your activities. Perhaps the
singleton pattern is more handy in your design, but just consider this
approach FYI.

[android-beginners] Re: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

[Prabakar]

It is very very nice sample that you have provided in vidtry code. From there i 
picked of some of the code for my use.
I am going to try SurfaceView and MediaPlayer combination.
For that i made a code like below.,

    SurfaceView v = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.SurfaceView01);
    SurfaceHolder h = v.getHolder();
    MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.myvideo);
    mp.setDisplay(h); 
    mp.start();

I created a surfaceview in main.xml resource layout. But when i created a 
SurfaceView there, it is showing it in small rectangle. How to make it to full 
screen? Do i need add size in Properties of SurfaceView?

And when i ran this code, it throws error as "SurFaceView cannot be resolve to 
a type".

I think Video is not running because size of the SurfaceView is small rectangle.

You were having problems with using MediaPlayer for playing back video.
I pointed out vidtry as an example of using MediaPlayer for playing back
video.

You are cordially invited to try *not associating* a MediaController
with your VideoView, to see if that works for you. I have not tried that
and do not know if that will work.

You are also welcome to look at vidtry as an example of using
MediaPlayer for playing back video. However, vidtry does not play back
video from a raw resource. Similarly, vidtry does not rescue kittens,
clear out clogged drains, or serve as a tasty low-calorie dessert.

(Though I suspect you can make some low-calorie 'droids out of
marshmallows and food coloring. Mmmm...food coloring!)

I have not tried playing back video from a raw resource, using either
VideoView or MediaPlayer.

Size is not a problem for me as it is demo app. But i need to keep a video file 
in raw folder and play it. So how do i go ahead? In this case, can't i use 
vidtry code? Can i go ahead with VideoView itself and try hiding built-in 
overlay controls? Your advise is appreciated to me.

thanks.

vidtry is designed to support entering URLs to streaming video.

I am skeptical that putting video inside an APK file is necessarily a
good idea, if your intention is for this APK to be downloaded onto
existing Android devices. The APK size will be too large.

I have no idea. I have only used VideoView with the MediaController. Try
not using MediaController with VideoView, and see if you like that better.

There are no "built-in overlay controls" with MediaPlayer. If you want
any controls, you have to implement them yourself.

If "this particular task" is having a MediaPlayer play back media with
custom pop-up controls, vidtry is the code for this particular task.

I have a half-dozen pages explaining vidtry in _The Busy Coder's Guide
to *Advanced* Android Development_ (the current digital edition, not the
print edition).

[android-beginners] Re: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

[Prabakar]

Thanks Mr.Mark.
I have two questions here.
1. Do you mean with the current code MediaController on VideoView, i can't 
achieve removing built-in overlay controls? If i use MediaPlayer and 
SurfaceView, i'll be able to hide built-in overlay controls and add mine if i 
want?
2. I have gone through vidtry code a day ago, but got totally confused. I'm 
sorry, i'm new to this development. Is there any other way that i can see the 
code for only this particular task?
3. If i want to start the video player with my video file **Automatically, when 
the device starts(reboot), is it possible to do that on Android?

Please advise.

Attach a SurfaceView. MediaPlayer does not have an intrinsic playback
surface. For example:

[android-beginners] Re: 2 O/S on same mobile?

[Yusuf Saib (T-Mobile USA)]

I'm not aware of an Android port to that hardware. In general, to port
an OS to a hardware platform, you need drivers for that hardware which
are compatible with your OS. I'm guessing there are no Android drivers
for the neotouch/F1/s200, but I could be wrong.

As for running two operating systems on one phone, I don't believe
that the needed virtual-device software is available yet.

[android-beginners] Re: Error in the project, unable to track

[Yusuf Saib (T-Mobile USA)]

You may see a tab near the bottom of Eclipse that called "Problems".
Click on that and see what it says. Also, in some cases Eclipse
complains that you haven't auto-generated some files yet, such that if
you run the application, it generates them and is happy. So try to run
your app and see if it runs or if the "Console" tab shows any errors.

Attach a SurfaceView. MediaPlayer does not have an intrinsic playback
surface. For example:

Thanks a lot for your answers. I'll try that out.
Regarding your last answer,
> 3. if i want to remove built-in media player overlay controls such as

Don't attach a MediaController. Or, better yet, don't use a VideoView --
use a MediaPlayer.
-

I tried initially MediaPlayer only by following the code below:

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

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.a);
mp.start();
.
}

But it did play only the sound, no video visible. Only i could able to hear the 
sound. I'm testing on Android 1.5 HTC G-1.

Any suggestions please?

i think it's safe to assume if it has google maps (the app) then it has
the google SDK.

[android-beginners] Re: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

[Prabakar]

UPDATE from myself about this:

I RESOLVED IT BY MYSELF BY REMOVING 
"requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); 
" line.

Now I have other queries too related to the same thing.
1. If i want to play my video always in Landscape mode, how to achieve this?
2. If i want to play a video file continuously(play video in looping) even 
after stopped one cycle, how to achieve it?
3. if i want to remove built-in media player overlay controls such as 'Play', 
'Rewind', 'Forward' buttons from the media player which i'm using to play a 
video file from sdcard on VideoView, how to achieve it?

I tried many ways, couldn't be able to resolve the above issues.

Could some one if have experience on this resolving it, please share your 
suggestions with me as i'm new to this development?

Hi All,





MyTask: I want play a video file in media player or videoview when the device

1. I'm able to get notification whenever accelerometer is triggered on the 
device using the following code separately. 


2. And i'm able to play my video file from sdcard using the following code

I'm now integrating both to play my video file when the accelerometer
has triggered(whether device moved or shaked or etc). But when it was
working both the functionality separately, is not working when i
integrated both code to work as per my MyTask. After integrating the
code, i tested by shaking my device to observe starting video, but it
throws error as "The application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try
again'.



Can some one please look at my code below and suggest how do improve it and 
resolve it based on your experince and view?

[android-beginners] Re: Exception Activity Not Found

[mist3r0]

This code is contained inside an activity (UseModes), and this
activity is declared in the manifest, for this reason I don't
understand the exception that is thrown.

Here is the manifest:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="android.usemode" android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

[android-beginners] Re: Which phone to use for developer?

[RichardC]

Best advice I can give is to make sure any phone you want to buy has:

a) The Google Market Place Application (and also the other Google
Apps)

and

b) From the font menu button you can get to:
[Menu] > Settings > Applications > Development >
USB Debugging
Stay awake
Allow mock locations

Making sure the above are are all present will give you a phone
suitable for development of Android applicatons.

[android-beginners] Re: Help! I get this error message concerning the AVD

[Xavier Ducrohet]

Hello all,

yes it looks like there's a bug in the emulator where it can't deal with
those characters in the path.

To fix this you can override the location where all the android tools look
for those files.

create a system wide environment variable called ANDROID_SDK_HOME and
containing a path that doesn't include those non ascci char.
The android tools will create a ".android" folder in it, and the emulator
will access it too.

We'll see about fixing the emulator too.

[android-beginners] 2 O/S on same mobile?

[P B]

I'm buying a phone (the acer neotouch (a.k.a the F1 or s200)) which
has windows mobile 6.5 preinstalled. Is it possible to install the
Android O/S onto the same phone and be able to choose which O/S to use
whenever - similar to partitioning the hard drive on a pc with Windows
and Ubuntu for example?

[android-beginners] Error when starting the AVD

[Carl]

Get an error when i'm trying to start my AVD.

emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration.
Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it.

config.ini content
hw.lcd.density=240
skin.name=WVGA800
skin.path=platforms\android-1.6\skins\WVGA800
image.sysdir.1=platforms\android-1.6\images\

myAvd.ini
target=android-4
path=C:\Users\Stålmannen\.android\avd\myAvd.avd

Don't now whats wrong. The strange letters in the path is a swedish
letter, å. Can that be a problem?

Regards

Calle

[android-beginners] using a simpleCursorAdapter to bind data from a database to a spinner

[JasonMP]

Im trying to fill a spinner with data from a table.  That part works
fine.  What i cant figure out is how to use the selection made through
the spinner.  if i use :
 String someString = (String) classSpin.getSelectedItem().toString();
i get some sort of SQL reference.  Am i missing a step?  Im new to
both java and android so i hope this is something very obvious im
missing.

heres some of my code for the spinner:


Cursor classCur = db.getClasses();
startManagingCursor(classCur);
from = new String[]{DBAdapterStats2.KEY_CLASS};
to = new int[]{android.R.id.text1};
SimpleCursorAdapter classAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, classCur, from, to);
classAdapter.setDropDownViewResource
(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
classSpin.setAdapter(classAdapter);

[android-beginners] ActionListener & Graphics2D Object & Canvas

[Kwan Toh Choong]

Hi All,

I wish to develop an application like a crossword puzzle.

Is it possible for me to handle the each of the boxes in the puzzle
individually, probably as an Object of Rectangle or something? Then I
can add them into the canvas and let the canvas to draw it.

One of the reason why I am doing this, I wish that I could add
actionListener to each object individually, instead of having a
actionListener on the whole screen, then I have to calculate which
"box" that the user actually clicked on.

Or I would be very grateful if someone can propose some different
solution on my problems.

My requirement:

1. A crossword puzzle like main screen
2. The program should be able to recognize which boxes I clicked
3. Each boxes can then be selected, and receive input, and update

Thanks All

[android-beginners] Questions on building and running android source on Rooted G1

[garrick.w...@gmail.com]

Hello,
   I've been working with a G1 (not an Android dev phone) that I've
successfully rooted in the past but had wanted to do a work with
building the system.img from source as I'm playing with with some of
the framework libraries as well as apps.  Along the way I've run into
some strange problems with the network connectivity.  I've gotten
extremely close having built the system.image and flashed it onto the
G1 but am unable to make/receive calls or SMS once I have done so.
I've tried the radio updates from HTC for both Android 1.5 and 1.6,
but while the rooted 1.6 system build I got from www.androidspin.com
worked just great, but my (apparently?) successful build does not.

The symptom is as follows:
Going into Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Network
operators
and doing Search networks or Select automatically yields "Error while
searching for networks."
and "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".  I
have tried this with
both a T-Mobile and an AT&T SIMs with the same result.

In the process of trying to fix this, I updated to the latest code on
the Android "master" branch only to have it fail to boot at all.  This
was a bit confusing as the code I'd use just last week (on or about
Oct 7th) built & installed but w/o working GSM network.

My questions are:
   1.) Should it be possible to take a rooted G1, build Android from
source and have it working network and all?
   2.) Would a failed image built of of "master" be a reportable bug?
Does this happen often, or is it my own misfortune?
3.) Should I be looking at a specific combination of kernel/radio/
recover/bootloader in order to build and run a system.img from
"master" or even "donut"/"donut-release"?

Thanks,
--Garrick West

[android-beginners] Intent is not properly returned through onActivityResult

[mellamanjefe]

I have 2 activities which I need to share data between. The data
passes from the first (parent) activity to the child properly using
the intent and unpacking the bundle in the child class. However when
the child activity ends and onActivityResult() is called in the parent
the returned intent is null. Here is a snippet of the code involved:

// In parent class Parent.java

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

configureButtonFunctionality();
}

private void configureButtonFunctionality()
{
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.UpdateVelocityButton);
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

launchAviationActivity(Activities.Velocity.ordinal());

}
});
}

private Intent setIntentDataForActivities(int activity)
{
currentVelocity = 123.0; // privately defined class member.
Intent i = new Intent(this, Child.class);
i.putExtra("Velocity", currentVelocity);
return(i);
}

private void launchChildActivity(int a)
{
startActivityForResult(setIntentDataForActivities(a), a);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent)
{
 /// Here is where the
intent returns from the Child class but is null... /
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);

if(requestCode == Activities.Velocity.ordinal())
{
currentVelocity = intent.getDoubleExtra("Velocity", 0.0);
}
}

// In child class Child.java
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Intent i = this.getIntent();
Bundle b = i.getExtras();
currentVelocity = b.getDouble("Velocity"); // value is passed
and received properly here.

   ...
}

private void closeActivity()
{
clearFields();

//Intent i = new Intent(); // Building the intent with either
constructor does not make a difference in behavior
Intent i = new Intent(this, Parent.class);
i.putExtra("Velocity", currentVelocity);
setResult(RESULT_OK, i);
finish();
}

I am new with Android and have ran out of explanations for this. Any
assistance will be appreciated :).

Thanks!

[android-beginners] Android Charts

[Vinicius Carvalho]

Hello there! I'm starting with android, and the app I'm developing is
gonna need some charts. I've looked and did not find any chart API
(there's java4less but its too poor to worth anything). First I
thought  I could use jfreechart, but it is entirely based on
java.awt.image and that is not supported by android.

Is there a chart api out there? or should I code the charts by hand
(man I'm doomed)

[android-beginners] Re: Problems importing Notepad Tutorial projects with Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2, ADT plugin 0.9.1

[Commodus]

I think you need to specify the versionCode and versionName in the
NotePadv1 Manifest... the following addition worked for me:

Changed
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.android.demo.notepad1">


To


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.android.demo.notepad1"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

[android-beginners] having a newbie issue with my app

[JasonMP]

I'm trying to run some simple code to access a database and populate
TextViews on the the screen with the data that they return...and it
works great!...except when the activity is put into the background and
is eventually killed, then reopened, the TextViews all show their
default states prior to the code in my onCreate.  So i basically have
a blank screen.  The only way to get them to repopulate is by
navigating back to a splash screen that allows you to go back into the
activity.  I've tried moving the code that populates those fields into
the onResume to no avail.  Should I be using a SharedPreference,Editor
for this?  Are there any other options that will allow me to keep the
values in my TextViews when the activity is resumed?

Nothing can stop you from developing applications using NDK in C++ for Android.

However, from the NDK page[1]-

The NDK includes a set of cross-toolchains (compilers, linkers, etc..)
that can generate native ARM binaries on Linux, OS X, and Windows
(with Cygwin) platforms.
It provides a set of system headers for stable native APIs that are
guaranteed to be supported in all later releases of the platform:
libc (C library) headers
libm (math library) headers
JNI interface headers
libz (Zlib compression) headers
liblog (Android logging) header
A Minimal set of headers for C++ support
The NDK also provides a build system that lets you work efficiently
with your sources, without having to handle the
toolchain/platform/CPU/ABI details. You create very short build files
to describe which sources to compile and which Android application
will use them — the build system compiles the sources and places the
shared libraries directly in your application project.

I can think of several libraries that are missing here -
Graphics(OpenGLES), UI, Concurrency and so on. Unless you have
significant time/money/resource at your disposal, I would recommend
you to stick with Java SDK for developing applications that run on
Android-capable phone.

Having said that though, I'd use the NDK _if_ I had to say develop my
own shared libraries, wrappers for various other native libs and so
on.. Basically anything you want to hook into the system.

What would be awesome for NDK is to include some tiny port of STL and
Boost subset. _This_ would be awesome.

[android-beginners] Re: Problems with WakeLock

[Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)]

Ok. I was able to reproduce the problem, but it happened only twice
( I must have tried it about 12~15 times).

I also found this discussion thread .
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/a9c4c2fd37f8f6a6

I assume you have a reference to mWakeLock object, I do in my test
program.

Seems like a timing issue. The GC kicks in before the
PowerManagerService is able to service the release of the WakeLock.

Maybe one of the Android Framework Engineers would like to reply to
this one :)

[android-beginners] Re: How to extract ICON from an APK file?

[KK]

ahI've not been deep into linux, and i have no sense on how to
handle linux gui, and I think it's pretty easy once you know how to
hookup ICON interface.
the aapt source is there and open :D

I'll keep update when I'm doing research aapt tool. :D

Hi all

I've been trying unsuccessfully to unsubscribe from this group.

Messages I've sent to android-beginners-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
have been ignored, and my Google Groups list is no longer showing this

Can someone please unsubscribe me?

Thanks

[android-beginners] Re: Problems with WakeLock

[Chris]

Occurs on both emu (the 1.6 one) and a HTC Hero (running latest rom
which is a 1.5 one).

SDK is the latest using the 1.5 API.

The finish is in a onClick handler (allowTapToClose is a private
member)
public void onClick(View v) {
if (allowTapToClose) {
setResult(RESULT_OK);
finish();
}
}

out side of the calls posted it doesn't really do very much it's just
a display;ay at the moment.

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a child activity?

[vchris80]

thanks, I feel a bit over complicate and bug-prone to manage views
manually via setContentView, so I simply changed the architecture,
putting the common classes of interest in a singleton (luckily this
solution fits with my app design). This way I can decouple the
activities and keep a common business class, leaving Android manage
the views.
