[android-beginners] Suggestions on tutorials

[sfitzjava]

I want to learn how to write android apps, let me restate that.  I
want to learn how to actually program the android using java, and not
just type a bunch of XM(hel)L tags.   Actually to be perfectly clear
I NEVER WANT TO WRITE AN XM(HEL)L TAG EVER

Given this requirement (ABSOLUTELY NO XMhelL)  is there any tutorials,
books, videos that truly teach how to write for the android platform.

Please no flames on the benefits of XML (BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG
[PERIOD])  and I will not listen to you anyway.

Thanks
-Shawn

[android-beginners] Re: Help getting platform

[mobiledude]

Here is a solution that worked for me. It came from one of the posters
the "Android SDK 2.0 is here!" thread. You might want to check that
thread out. Note that you may have to force the use http instead of
https by checking the appropriate box in the "Settings" of the AVD
Manager. Be sure to click the "Save & Apply" button (this button
should work once you have applied the fix shown below).


I found a solution to the problem of running the Android SDK manager
on Ubuntu 9.10.  For some reason you first need to export
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true. The following command works:

br...@erisa:~/android-sdk-linux/tools$ GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true ./
android

Won't the existing background vary from one device to another? For
example, HTC might for Sensified it a little.

If so, wouldn't you need to programmatically modify the background to
maintain the correct look and feel?

I'm also looking for a way to avoid the ContextMenu to disappear when
screen rotates.

Anyone did it?

[android-beginners] Re: Audio Stream Processing

[Roman ( T-Mobile USA)]

You should also be able to do some audio processing on Java level. But
be aware that it won't be as efficient as if you would do this on
native level. For example the SipDroid application does some
conversion of Audio to the G711 codec in Java.

You might want to check when the emulator is started up whether your

[android-beginners] Re: Slow emulator

[Indicator Veritatis]

Really? I have found a rather different situation: the emulator is
very slow to launch, but once launched, runs at a decent pace. Or is
that what you were referring to in the first place? Just to the fact
that it is so-o-o-o slow to launch?

The 'workaround', predictably, is to launch the emulator once and just
keep it loaded for as long as you can: Run under Eclipse will almost
always push the newly built code to the emulator so that you do not
need to stop and restart it.

I say "almost always" because I have seen an error message about being
unable to 'push' the code, but this is a rare error condition.

[android-beginners] Re: Installing Android Tools in Eclipse on Ubuntu

[Indicator Veritatis]

Come to think of it, the problem sounds like the same described in
http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/60eb36682825266c.
But this means that the solution really is much simpler than I thought
at first: just use 'http' instead of 'https'. Now if only we can get
someone to update the instructions to reflect this change on the
developer website...

[android-beginners] Re: Installing Android Tools in Eclipse on Ubuntu

[Indicator Veritatis]

Unless this turns out to be a common problem, one that others have
already seen and solved, I think we are going to need more
information. Can you, for example, run Wireshark at the same time and
verify whether or not you connected to the SSL server at all? Can you
verify whether it finished the download? Do you have any error
messages showing up in 'dmesg' in Ubuntu during the download? What
version of Java and Java JDK do you have installed?

There was a problem with incompatible assumptions of default Java
version between Ubuntu, Eclipse, and the ADT. I do not know if that
has been solved with Ubuntu 9.10, but the final note, dated 2009-10-20
at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/162708 seems
to imply that it really was fixed.

[android-beginners] Re: Cannot see map in my mobile device

[Mike Wolfson]

Without looking at your code.  You need a key from Google to work with
Maps (and they won't show without it).

Look at the Android Map Tutorial, and it tells you how to obtain the
key (it is free), and then you put the key in your manifest.

Here is a URL to signup as well: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

[android-beginners] Re: Is that compulsory to use Java developing android apps????

[Indicator Veritatis]

I have to agree with Justin. It makes no sense to try to use Android
with anything else. By design, the SDK supports Java and supports it
well. Trying to use any other language would be like trying to empty
the ocean with a micropipette.

Since you already know C++, you already know most of the ideas about
how to support OOP/OOD in a programming language; the support in Java
can largely be described as a subset and simplification of the C++ way
of supporting OOP/OOD.

So, for example, C++ has multiple inheritance and 'friend' classes;
Java has neither, but it has the most interesting, useful and safe
instance of multiptle inheritance, the 'interface'.

The Java tutorials on http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ are
quite good. Do the Trails under "Covering the Basics" and you will
have a good enough graps of Java to make good progress with the
Android SDK. Even just the first 4 are a good start. But trying to use
Android with less experience than that is bound to be too frustrating.

NB: lost of experience Java programmers recommend running the
tutorials w/o an IDE, using just the JDK and the text editor of your
choice (e.g. emacs). I can't claim that experience for myself, but I
concur, as long as the editor you choose is capable of syntax-based
text coloring.

Re: [android-beginners] Is that compulsory to use Java developing android apps????

[Justin Anderson]

Ummm yes you have to use Java.  Have you read the docs?

Also, there are several threads already about integrating (to a certain
degree) C/C++ code using the NDK.  Just search for C++.

Thanks,
Justin

well ... what carrier was the phone made for?

i know at&t and t-mo's 3g networks are not compatible. so if it's locked 
to say t-mo and you want to unlock it and use it on at&t, you won't get 
3g (you'll get edge only). if you are just staying with t-mo (or 
whoever), then unlocking won't affect it.

[android-beginners] Installing Android Tools in Eclipse on Ubuntu

[MrBaseball34]

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) hosted in VirtualBox VM on WinXP SP3
Eclipse 3.5.1

Was able to install the SDK but cannot install the Android tols in
Eclipse.
I enter https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/, the little
progress bar goes at the bottom/right but the Next button never gets
enabled and it doesn't show any results.

What could be the problem?

[android-beginners] Cannot debug using emulator with DROID skin

[Zookie]

Just setup Eclipse, ADT, SDK, and DROID skin.  Set path to include SDK
tools directory.

Wrote the Hello World (Hello Android) app.  I can run the app,
emulator starts, but app does not start.  If I go into applications, I
can manually run the application and it works properly.  The app
should be loading as the documentation suggests.

I then added the null pointer reference and a breakpoint to test
debugging.

When I debug, same thing happens.  Emulator loads, app does not load.
If i manually run the app, it does not break at the breakpoint.

When I debug, I get an error in Eclipse:
Emulator]emulator: ERROR: unexpected qemud char. channel close
HelloAndroid]emulator-5554 disconnected!  Cancelling
'com.test.helloandroid.HelloAndroid acitivity launch'!

I did not have those folders present. I've manually created them and
now the setup launches fine. I'm getting a download error for
repository.xml now, but I'll search around to see if I can find a
resolution for that. Thanks!

[android-beginners] ADT Plugin for Eclipse on Ubuntu 9.10

[Waspinator]

I can't install the ADP plugin for eclipse 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10. My
first problem was that http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ was
not checked, and I would get an error. Once I did that, It let me
click next and it progresses to 64%, and asks me

Warning: You are installing software that contains unsigned content.
The authenticity or validity of this software cannot be established.
Do you want to continue with the installation?

The progress bar rapidly goes to 100%

and then I get the following error:

An error occurred while installing the items
  session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install,
operand=null --> [R]org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.4.1.v20090901_r351,

[android-beginners] KeyboardView issue

[Cristei Alexandru]

Hello,

I am trying to create my own keyboard because I need it in one of my
application. The problem is when I can seem to get the KeyboardView to
get displayed without an exception.
I tried two ways:
1.
 - I had the KeyboardView in my main.xml layout file:
   ...
   
  ...
- in the layout folder I wrote the keyboard layout file:
   
   http://schemas.android.com/
apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/mykeyboard"
  android:keyWidth="50px"
  android:keyHeight="50px"
  android:horizontalGap="2px"
  android:verticalGap="2px" >
   
 
   
   
- in onCreate I had:
  setContentView(R.layout.main);

2.
   - I commented the keyboardview from main.xml , got the LinearLayout
object from main.xml and tryed to add KeyboardView from code:
   myLayout.addView(new KeyboardView(getApplicationContext
(), null));

In any case I got the same IllegalArgumentException. I think somehow
the KeyboardView tries to grab more pixels than it got. (

[android-beginners] Error with Eclipse

[8bit]

When I go to Window > Preferences > Android I get this issue:

[2009-11-01 19:48:56 - ddms]Could not open Selected VM debug port
(8700). Make sure you do not have another instance of DDMS or of the
eclipse plugin running. If it's being used by something else, choose a
new port number in the preferences.

And when I select my SDK I still get "No target available" in the
target list.

Because of this I am unable to create a new Android project.

Also, when I select Preferences > Android > DDMS I get an error:

"An error has occurred. See error log for more details."

I'm running Linux Mint 7 and Eclipse 3.2.2.

[android-beginners] Re: Android 2.0 SDK is here!

[Bilthon]

I was having the exact problem, until I solved it by downloading the
eclipse plug-in. Once the plug-in was installed, I realized that if
you go to the eclipse menu and select "Window"->"Android SDK and AVD
Manager" (This is all using eclipse Galileo) you get the same
configuration window as if you go through the /tools directory and
execute android. Except that (I don't know why) this way you not only
see more available packages, as you can also download at least the
latest SDK Platform Android 2.0.

Hope it helps

[android-beginners] Re: Audio Stream Processing

[Tim]

You can write native functions using the NDK. It should work on any
android phone. The only downside to this approach is that it can be
tricky to transfer large amounts of data between the Java VM and you
native code quickly.

See http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/1.6_r1/index.html

Could someone share his/her simple sample code that demonstrates how

I don't mean the boot-screen splash but the application's.

Sample code would be nice.

Create your own custom StateListDrawable to serve as the background. The
existing background should be in the Android source code -- clone that,
then modify the .9.png files as desired.

[android-beginners] AAPT usage different between 1.1 and 1.5

[BallFlanders]

Hello there,


I used an build.xml file for building projects with ant with 1.1 sdk.
When wanted to switch to 1.5_1 or 1.5_3 SDK, the aapt located now
under platforms\android-1.5\tools is not working with the build.xml.

The target for aapt is:
















This one worked and still works perfectly with the aapt under 1.1 sdk,
but not with the aapt under 1.5 sdk.
The error message i receive is,

[exec] ERROR: failed opening/creating 'res/raw/whatever.mp3' as Zip
file

I do have an mp3 file in the res\raw folder as instructed by the docs,
and the same project structure builds fine under eclipse.
Unfortunately, with ant it doesn't.

Also noticed that, even if another aaps file is in the platform
\android1.1\tools directory in 1.5 sdk, that file is different from
the one included in \tools under 1.1 sdk, and it's giving the same
error message.

Can someone help me out with this?

Thank you in advance

[android-beginners] Re: Problem with Ubuntu 9.10? Please read!

[Songmak]

Hi Xavier,

This workaround worked for me to get SDK up an running on Ubuntu 9.10
but now when I try to create an Android Project in Eclipse a Target
cannot be selected.  It appears to be a UI issue since I am able to
see the very top of the header line.  Not being able to select a
target does not allow me to move forward with the project creation.

Has anyone or is anyone experiencing the same issue?

[android-beginners] Re: Very specific question about Foreground / Background tasks...

[tob]

Thanks Ver. and Lance...

If the funding comes through for this project I will be jumping in
with both feet, held nose, and eyes WIDE open  But it was hard to
commit to the "real goal" not knowing if Android would even allow me.
(As I originally said, I had gone down the iPhone path looking for the
Background / Foreground notion in that SDK and when I couldn't find
it; I started asking DIRECTLY and got so much "pushback" it surprised
me. I understand that some might not want to "just giveaway" hard
learned "secrets" but, making a living myself for the past 25 years as
a custom developer has never stopped me from offering easy advice to
help someone along. The SDK FAN BOYs seem to carry their APPLE-IS_BEST
attitude into the development side too. And this was very
disappointing to me.)

So I thought I'd just come right out and ask ...  so, many thanks for
your reasoned and helpful responses.

And BTW,  I had to laugh a bit (sorry) when you both gave detailed
responses about the TIMER --- as I said that was an made-up-example to
give you some insight -- its NOT the timer I need at all but a
different subsystem (and am held to NDA constraints so I was NOT able
to use the EXACT subsystem as an example) but from your responses I am
confident that it is HIGHLY LIKELY that I will be able to get to what
I need and run it in the "background."

I have seen in some other "android-beginners" threads that there are
several useful android tutorial and code-example websites and I shall
take full advantage of them as well -- I have a lot of experience in
dotNet (both desktop and web(aspx) side) and hopefully the object
orientation experience will prove useful as I "mentally convert"
dotNet syntax into JAVA... should be fun.

Thanks, again for all the help.

[android-beginners] How to add View on a Map at specific Geopoint?

[mcc]

I am able to draw a "info window" like Drawable marker on map by using
itemizedOverlay. But the marker is limited to a single image, I would
like to have put some text, image inside the marker (the info window).
So I decided to add a view to it, but I find no way to do that.

I notice that google places directory have done what I want to do. It
can put a view containing an images, text on the map. Does anyone give
me some hints about how does it do that?

click "Install Selected". It will get the list and show me what can be
downloaded, but won't actually download it.

What I've done:
Java is installed
the PATH is set in my .bashrc file
added "sdkman.force.http=true" to .android/androidtools.cfg

[android-beginners] Re: Eclipse problem: "R cannot be resolved"

[skyhigh]

R.java is a file that the android eclipse plugins creates while
bulding your application.  R.java is created under the "gen"
directory.  This file is generated from the information in the "res"
directory.  If you run select "Project" -> "Clean..." on the eclipse
menu it will remove and then regenerate the R.java file.

The problem "R cannot be resolved" happens when you change your
package name in the AndroidManifest.xml file.  It uses your android
package name to create a subdirectory under the "gen" directory where
it stores the R.java file.

Eclipse may have problems executing clean because it is confused about
where the R.java file is when you have changed the android package
name, you can either rename the subdirectory under gen to match your
new package name, or you can change your package name back to the old
name, do the clean and then change the package name to the new name
you want.  This works best if you stop eclipse from trying to build
while you are changing the package name.  Under the "Project" menu
uncheck the option to "Build Automatically" and also when the
"Clean..." dialog asks if it should "Start a build immediately"
uncheck the box so it doesn't try to build while you are changing the
package name.  After you have changed the name you can turn "Build
Automatically" back on again.

Note that if your AndroidManifest.xml file package name does not match
your java package name eclipse will end up automatically adding an
"import .R;" line in all your .java files
that have any references to R.  If you change your AndroidManifest.xml
package name, sometimes eclipse does not update all of these added
imports.  If that happens use the eclipse refactoring (Keys ALT +
SHIFT + R) to change the import statement in one of your java files to
your new AndroidManifest.xml package name.  It is best to do this
while you have disabled "Build Automatically".

[android-beginners] Re: Get an array of colors from an image

[Vootog andarena]

hi
if you are using bitmap, use an integer array to store the
bitmap. use bitmap.getPixel() to get the corresponding bitmap in
integer array. By using bitwise rotation operation, we will get RGB
values. (Also byte array can be used). See the code below.

 int[] pix = new int[picw * pich];
bitmap.getPixels(pix, 0, picw, 0, 0, picw, pich);

int R, G, B,Y;

for (int y = 0; y < pich; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < picw; x++)
{
int index = y * picw + x;
int R = (pix[index] >> 16) & 0xff; //bitwise
shifting
int G = (pix[index] >> 8) & 0xff;
int B = pix[index] & 0xff;

//R,G.B - Red, Green, Blue
 //to restore the values after RGB modification, use //
next statement
pix[index] = 0xff00 | (R << 16) | (G << 8) | B;
}

[android-beginners] Re: Problem with ADT plugin in Eclipse Galileo

[Rainer]

Guys, did you find a solution already?

I have the same kind of problem:

Running Ubuntu 9.04 + Eclipse 3.5 Galileo.
I installed the Google App Engine Java SDK 1.2.6 plugin, the Google
Plugin for Eclipse 3.5, and the Google Web Toolkit SDK 1.71 plugin.
The installation went ok, and the plugins show up in the list of
installed plugins, but the new project types do not show up in the
File > New > Project list.

I am not able to start a new Google App Engine project :(

Anyone suggestions?

Rainer.

[android-beginners] blackberry messenger

[dlion]

my son and wife both have blackberry tours. my son in studying in
england for a year. he and my wife are able to send blackberry
messages (bbms) back and forth for free. i have a samsung 740 and can
only send text messages to him via facebook for free, but the facebook
implementation on my phone is crippled. i looked at the new storm 2,
but i didn't like it, nor do i like the tour.

is there an app available for the new droid for verizon that will
allow instant messaging with blackberry messenger clients? if not,
what would i need to do to create such an app? i have a programming
background (from a previous life, i used visual basic) and i'd like to
explore the possibility of creating such an app.

also, if i did create a droid<->blackberry messenger app, how would i
go about marketing it?

thanks for your help.

[android-beginners] Re: Accessing Market through ACTION_VIEW Intent

[davemac]

The problem is the emulator. It doesn't come with Market. And you
can't access Market over the Internet either. Not like you want for
testing purposes. Some time ago there were some versions of Market
floating around that could be installed onto the emulator. I tried one
this morning on the Eclair emulator but it didn't work, so this may
not be an option unless you run an old version of the emulator, but
then your application would not be able to take advantage of anything
newer than that version. Your best bet is to use a real device.

[android-beginners] Re: SDK r3 on Ubuntu 9.10

[Drew]

here's what I've figured out so far guys

The problem with "HTTPS ERROR" is that you need to add the line
""sdkman.force.http=true" to your androidtools.cfg file.

I'm haveing the same issue with it letting me view what updates are
availible but not downloading, if you get an older version of SDK, it
comes with 1.5 and 1.6. The version i found was "android-sdk-
linux_x86-1.6_r1".

After that you have to create the avd through the terminal with
"android create -n  -t <#oftheplatform>"
type "android list" to get what number is what platform.

That's as far as I've gotten so far but I'll keep working on it...

[android-beginners] Slow emulator

[Curran]

Hi guys,

Pretty new to the whole Android idea, I am buying the HTC hero soon
and would quite like to develop for it. I have found on my PC that the
emulator runs really slowly- to get to actually being able to use my
app when emulating takes around a minute and a half. Can anyone
suggest why? I use Eclipse, with Windows 7 and a good-but-not-amazing
spec laptop. Please help! Thanks

Hire a consultant, so you can make demands on that person's time.

If you want free support, you may have to wait until somebody gets

[android-beginners] Re: How to Replace of existing default Application by the Application created by me without user intervention

[Anne]

I need to replace the default Android Home screen.
How can I change the properties of the default Android Screen?.

And One more query that  I had was , is it possible to write an
application (not uses the ResolverActivity Dialog Box) that starts and
activity with some buttons and on click of the button it replaces the
existing home screen with a new home screen application?

Any suggestions would be of great help.

Thanks in Advance.

-Anne

Re: [android-beginners] Re: alarm manager confusion

[Jeffrey Blattman]

hmmm. i'd suggest not killing any processes. the problem would be if 
under normal OS usage, the alarm is not activated. i can't say i 
understand exactly how the OS handles alarms, but perhaps forcefully 
killing processes interrupts it's workings.

[android-beginners] Re: ADT 0.9.4 not working on Mac 10.6 (at least for me)

[Carl]

Xav,

Here is the entire log from install until 7:00AM this morning:

FYI - I did change the Java order hoping that might be it. I do have
this running on a beta version of Snow Leopard but I noticed it didn't
have 64-bit Java on that build. Also, I verified that I can run
android and create targets from the command line so it definitely
seems to just be the plug-in that is not working.

[android-beginners] Re: alarm manager confusion

[marc]

jeffrey, how did you solve the problem?
i made a own process for the broadcastreceiver (as said in the linked
theme), so i have 2 processes now:
cycle:
1. user starts application
2. user schedules the alarm in the application

current processes:
- application

3. scheduled alarm expires, broadcastreceiver will be started
4. broadcastreceiver execute his work and SCHEDULES A NEW ALARM

current processes:
- application
- broadcastreceiver

5. scheduled alarm expires, broadcastreceiver will be started
6. broadcastreceiver execute his work and SCHEDULES A NEW ALARM


if i kill the application after step 2, the scheduled alarm survives.
if i kill the alarm after step 4. the scheduled alarm is lost, step
5/6 will not be executed.

how did you do it?!

thank you for a answer.
marc

Re: [android-beginners] Re: How to Replace of existing default Application by the Application created by me without user intervention

there are several home replacement apps on the market. you might try 
contacting the developers and seeing if they can give you some pointers, 
or if their apps are open source you could take a look at the source.

[Anne]

I want to replace the Androids Default Home screen with my Home
Application.
How can I remove these Properties form the Androids Default Home
screen?

One more Query I had Was.
Is it possible to write an application with an Activity containing a
Button, and on click of the Button the default Home application is
replaced with my Home Screen Application( not using the
ResolverActivity Dialogue Box)?

Any suggestions on how to do is appreciated.

[android-beginners] Reg the shared user id between application

[raji]

Hi,

  I just started with Android.I came across this concept "two
applications to share the same user ID, in which case they will be
able to see each other's files".Have got some silly doubts reg this.
What exaclty does this mean?My basic doubt is if two applications can
share the data's,and that these two application can also co-exist at a
single point of time (say both the app is running), Then how is the
data protected?
Whats is the exact purpose of having two application to share the user-
id?

please help me in understanding this concept.

Regards,
Raji

[android-beginners] Importing existing source into NetBeans

[Kevin]

Okay, first off, I have used Eclipse and will probably start using it
for Android development, but I've got a machine with netbeans 6.7 on
it, and I thought I'd try it out.
I found a couple of web pages about using existing sources in
netbeans, and I gave it a try.  In a nutshell, here is what I did.

I've installed the nbandroid plugin.  I have also used the package
manager to add all of the different SDK's to the netbeans environment.
I create a new android project in netbeans.  I'm very careful to use
the same package name that is used in the existing source.  For the
purpose of this discussion I'm attempting to import the ApiDemos code
from the android-2.0 samples into netbeans.
After netbeans creates the project, I manually go into the directory
structures, and copy all of the source from the samples directory into
my NetBeansProjects/ApiDemos directory.  I do the same with all of the
res files.

Now when I try to build, I get a bunch of errors that I have traced to
the fact that there is no R.java file created.  I then go to the
command line and try "ant debug", which claims to be creating the
R.java file, but in fact nothing is created.  I have made sure that
all of the tools in the 2.0 sdk are available in the shell where I run
the ant build.

In looking at my build.xml file, it seems to be very sparse, maybe 30
lines or so.

Can anyone spot anything that I have done wrong? Can someone tell me
how to ensure that the build.xml file has been created correctly, and
whether or not they've been successful in generating an R.java file?

If you need more information, I'll be happy to provide it, this really
shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks in advance.

[android-beginners] Re: Very specific question about Foreground / Background tasks...

[tob]

Thanks, RichardC,

I actually *did* start there and read a bit about various methods
regarding BACKGROUND tasks/services/etc  but was looking for
confirmation from any actual developer that might have used these
features (to ensure they were not "futuristic.")

So now, I see a looming "curve of learning" ahead of me ---  looks
like fun!

thanks again,
tob

No I've only tried 'geo fix' - it seemed the easiest for what I and
you are doing. Not sure what the problem is if you start the emulator
and it isn't listening. What do you see if you run 'netstat -an' in a
command prompt?

[android-beginners] Re: How to use external library in Android project

[Sj]

Hi, Naveen

I know how to add .jar file in project explorer.
But when Android build the project, it doesn't add the external

That's why the application (which built successfully) got crash when I
run it in the Android emulator.

Any other way you know?

[android-beginners] SOAP on Android

[Sobert]

Hi,

I work on an app, and I need to insert new lines on a remote database,
and getting an int from the server.

After a few research, I've found out that it won't be a good thing to
directly connect to the remote database, and I've find that it would
be better to use SOAP or REST.

For my needs (insert in a two-column table, and retrieving a count),
SOAP seems the more accurate choice.

I've then looked forward to script an SOAP web-service in php, and
wrote it. Now I try to access it via android.

I've find this : 
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/9b246db7d612a6b5/
but the examples seems undownloadable.

Is this still the way to do ?

Does someone have an example of using this ?

Thanks.

[android-beginners] Quick contact

[Krzysztof Wolny]

Hey

I wonder if there is possibility to handle a quick contact custom IM.

For example, user adds IM type "GG" (most popular IM in Poland) and
the GG number "123456". I want to provide service to:
- show GG icon on quick contact bar
- contact with selected user by given GG number

Can I do that?

I can't find quick contact API or something like that...

I guess I don't understand what this means?  I added my Exchange
account using the email app, so I know it exists.  But the contacts
Accounts menu option still crashes like this.

Are you saying we should wait for the r6 build?  Or maybe go back to
r4?

Are there any logs on the sync from Exchange to Android on the Android
emulator?  I'd like to if it's actually working or not.

[android-beginners] Emulator Applications Are Missing (Including Account Manager/Calendar)

the Calendar application, nor the Accounts & Sync Settings option on

Exchange integration with email, contacts and calendar.

Am I missing something here?  Is this simply unavailable?  Do I need

[android-beginners] Using SD card image (windows)

[Krzysztof Wolny]

Hey

I wanted to know what is the easiest way to use (copy files from/to)
SD card emulation file on Windows? On *nix i can mount it to some
directory. On Windows? I can use some tools like UltraISO but it's not
the same (it's a application, image is not working 'one the fly').

Any ideas?

There's anddev.com and you can try the irc channel #android on
freenode.

[android-beginners] Android 2.0 Exchange support

[Henrik]

Hi,
I used the emulator to test connecting to the company Exchange server
(after first confirming that it could connect to other email accounts
just fine). While it seems that the account was successfully created
and configured, it does not synchronize anything. My company enforces
client security policies (more specifically ActiveSync mailbox
policies [1] - a standard Exchange deployment these days) and I am a
bit surprised that it didn't work.

* Does the native Exchange support work for anyone with a user name
+password secured account?
* Does it work for anyone with security policies, such as password/pin
enforcement?
* Is there any documentation of the native exchange support that
anyone can refer me to?
* Is there any way to get easily to any logs of the email client?
Maybe adb logcat is the easiest way?

Thanks for any replies!

[android-beginners] The default Android UI

[Amar]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the Android UI,
specifically whether the default UI uses graphics hardware
acceleration or not.
