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

2009-10-16 Thread 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

 Very interesting, thanks for keeping us up to date.

 Any chance your shell extension implementation might be ported to Linux?

 2009/10/15 KK guo.jing...@gmail.com:





  actually, the code of extractioniconis inside aapt which is from
  base package of android source code.
  I create a .net dll to displayiconin explorer, for now, I easily
  include aapt.exe into resorce, extract it and run it when needed.
  I will transform the code into native .net language (hopefully)...

  try it if you are interested.

it shud support 2D as well. Well this will solve ur problem. I also

[android-beginners] Re: Problems with WakeLock

2009-10-16 Thread 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: Can we develop android apps in C or C++?

2009-10-16 Thread Ishwor Gurung


 I am very new to android and also for JAVA. Untill now i am working on
 C.
 Is there any way to develop the Android apps on C or C++.
 Please let me know, whether it is possible or not.

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 importing Notepad Tutorial projects with Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2, ADT plugin 0.9.1

2009-10-16 Thread Commodus


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

Changed
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
package=com.android.demo.notepad1


To


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

 Hi,

 I've installed the Android SDK (1.5 r3), Eclipse (Fedora Eclipse
 3.4.2), the ADT  DDMS Eclipse plugins (0.9.1.v200905011822-1621), and
 successfully worked my way through the Hello World Tutorial.  However
 I'm not able to get very far into the Notepad Tutorial because I'm not
 able to properly import the project files.  No problems downloading
 the ZIP archive and extracting the files to sub-directories of my
 Eclipse workspace directory, however I'm then unable to open them as
 Android projects in Eclipse.

 The Notepad Tutorial instructs me to:

 1. Start a new Android Project by clicking File  New  Android
 Project.
 2. In the New Android Project dialog, select Create project from
 existing source.
 3. Click Browse and navigate to where you copied the NotepadCodeLab
 (downloaded during setup) and select Notepadv1.

 This is where I hit a problem, as with my combination of ADT plugins
 and Eclipse version the New Android Project dialogue doesn't have a
 'Browse' button or any other way to select a path for the creation of
 a project from existing source!  All I get is an error stating
 AndroidManifest.xml not found in samples. and no way to proceed any
 further.

 As that was a dead end I tried to import Notepadv1 as a General
 Project and use the Android Tools to convert it to an Android project
 afterwards.  The general project dialogue at least gives me the option
 of selecting the path to the Notepadv1 project directory so I'm able
 to create the first project, however when I then right click and
 select Android Tools  Convert to Android Project I get an 'Problem
 Occurred' dialogue windows which tells me that 'Convert Project' has
 encountered a problem.  Notepadv1 does not exist.  The Details
 button doesn't give me any details.

 The project now appears as an Android project, but fails to build
 after a clean or a modification to the files.  The Android ADT error
 in the Problems tab is 'Failed to get output folder!'.  If I try
 Android Tools  FIx Project Properties I get the same error dialogue
 as with Convert Project.

 I've search these groups, and the web in general, and wasn't able to
 come up with any solutions to my problems with what really ought to be
 straightforward.  Can anyone give me some pointers as to what is going
 wrong?

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

2009-10-16 Thread 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?

[android-beginners] Android Charts

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] Questions on building and running android source on Rooted G1

2009-10-16 Thread 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 ATT 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

2009-10-16 Thread 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] using a simpleCursorAdapter to bind data from a database to a spinner

2009-10-16 Thread 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();

[android-beginners] ActionListener Graphics2D Object Canvas

2009-10-16 Thread 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] 2 O/S on same mobile?

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

2009-10-16 Thread 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.

 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 ATT 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,

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

2009-10-16 Thread 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] UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

2009-10-16 Thread Clave Yard

Hi All,





MyTask: I want play a video file in media player or videoview when the device 
is being shaken(accelerometer triggers). 



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 
separately.


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?

executed separately, worked fine for both cases(Accelerometer access

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

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?

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

 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?

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

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.

 Hi,

 I have an error somewhere in the code but i don't know were. There is
 just a cross on the project folder and nowhere else. And when i try to
 start it tells me to correct the error.

 The only thing that i see errors in are some wrong spellings according
 to eclipse.

 Thanks

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

2009-10-16 Thread 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: UrgentHelp:Play Video file when accelerometer is triggered code error:

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.

 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
 '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?
 -
 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?

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

There are no built-in overlay controls with MediaPlayer. If you want

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

2009-10-16 Thread 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.

 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

 activities and keep a common business class, leaving Android manage
 the views.

   hi james, thanx for reply. I try to explain what I want to achieve.

   It is actually very simple, but maybe I am walking on the wrong path
   since I think in the Windows way other than in the Android way :)

   My app is a window with 3 buttons (can't use tab since the buttons
   will increase in the future and since this is a porting from other
   platform and I have to follow the same UI guidelines as far as
   possible). Each button launch an activity and needs a reference to the
   main activity (parent) in order to use some common utility classes.

   I thought to do so by implementing the main activity as an
   ActivityGroup (thank to you first suggestion) and launch each child
   activity by getLocalActivityManager().startActivity() as I said in the
   previous post. But, as said, this doesn't update the screen with the
   new activity view. I have to explicitly call setContentView and put
   the child activity view (obtained by getDecorView()). Is this the
   right way or am I doing a mess? Then, when I finish() the child I
   restore the old view.

 this way, in the onCreate of the child activity, I can get the parent
