Incidentally, having more plugins in Eclipse won't slow down it's startup
times by much, if anything. Eclipse employs a lazy initialization process
for plugins. When they are needed, they are activated. The only thing it
does is read each plugin manifest to register it in the system and add any
non code elements like menus (that can be clicked to activate the actual
code in the plugin), UI elements, extension points and so on.

Seems to me it doesn't really matter your computer configuration.

Sounds to me like you haven't allocated enough RAM to Eclipse, on a
modest 2.40Ghz Core 2 Duo, with 3GB RAM, my Eclipse starts in just
over 40secs using these settings:

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m

I also keep plug-ins to a minimum, in particular avoiding VCS plugins
like Subclipse.

Your emulator estimates more-or-less match mine, you can improve boot
time to a degree by passing some command switches to it. e.g.
--noaudio which prevents Android emulating the entire audio stack
(assuming you don't need it), and -no-boot-anim which prevents the
boot animation from loading up.

[android-beginners] Re: Google Maps Api - No image displayed

2009-12-10 Thread Denis

Hi, guys,

It is interesting, but I have the same problem. I've found a guide to
construct Google Maps-aware application (as simple as possible, just a
map even without zoom...) and it doesn't work (Well, it works - shows
me nice grey grid). The advice is always one - check API keys. But the
key is correct, because another application (that is built-in MapsDemo
in Eclipse) runs well using my key!

Denis

[android-beginners] Accessing Email Contacts in Android 2.0

2009-12-10 Thread sloth

Hi there!

I'm working on an Android project for university. The application
should retrieve information (about people) that's stored on the device
and then query online platforms using the data provided. I should
implement two data sources.

My first source would of course be the contacts that are stored on the
device. These are more or less easily accessible via the
ContactsContract ContentProvider.

My second source was supposed to be emails. I'm sure a lot of people
communicate via emails with persons whose email addresses aren't
stored in the contacts. So I would like to retrieve those email
contacts.
However, I couldn't find any way to do so. It is said that Android 2.0
has its own email client/app, but I can't find any documentation about
it. Is it still in development?
Are there any emails stored on the device after all? Or do different
devices use different email apps?

The only alternative I came up with, would be accessing the user's
GMail contacts.. but I didn't do any research on that so far...

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Webview progress bar

2009-12-10 Thread Richard

I received a message that solved things for me:

activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);

Change to:

The setProgress range is 0 - 1, therefore the sample on Android

of 100.

Hello, Android project. So now in the Project Expl, I have two
projects... Hello Android and Hello Linear Layout. Can I have more
then one project in this space? If so, then what am I doing wrong
here? It was straight forward copy and paste, so I have no idea where
I'm going wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[android-beginners] Audio/Video Code samples?

2009-12-10 Thread Valentino XM

Hi All,
I  am trying to code Audio/Video into my existiing project for the
first time. Following the directive from the Android Devlopers page,

Playing from a File or Stream

You can play back media files from the filesystem or a web URL:

   1. Create an instance of the MediaPlayer using new
   2. Call setDataSource() with a String containing the path (local
filesystem or URL) to the file you want to play
   3. First prepare() then start() on the instance:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(PATH_TO_FILE);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

looking for coding examples that will give me a more precise picture
of how the MediaPlayer  code should be worked into my existing
project.

Do I create a VideoView window in the Main.xml of the existing
project, and then reference that window in the in the Java window of
my exsiting project, directly under

  MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(PATH_TO_FILE);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

f.eks.

MediaPlayer = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoEMS);

also (PATH_TO_FILE);

is that going to be written using the song or video title

feks. D:/Music/XSC2.wmv.mp4

thank you

[android-beginners] Re: Unable to check correct row when using CheckedTextView

2009-12-10 Thread Miguel Barrios

As Romain said, top-level View has to be Checkable. A solution could
be to make a custom container implementing Checkable interface, then
use that container as top-level View for your row. Overriden methods
just call analog methods in Checkable item inside the container.

Example:

public class CheckedLayout extends LinearLayout implements Checkable {

private CheckedTextView checkbox;
private ImageView image;
private TextView text;
private Context context;

...

@Override
public boolean isChecked() {
return checkbox.isChecked();
}

@Override
public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
checkbox.setChecked(checked);
}

@Override
public void toggle() {
checkbox.toggle();
}

[android-beginners] Google Map is not displaying in emulator

2009-12-10 Thread san

have an odd problem.  I'm working on my first Maps application.  I'm
using the demo/tutorial code as a baseline to figure this out.

I have the app running, I can see the zoom controlsbut no map
graphic.

I see no errors in the console.

I've set the debug.keystore.  I also have the key for the API set.
I've verified I have them in the right place according to the Eclipse
configuration.

I can even add an overlay with a small graphic with no problem.

But I still only see the graph paper-like background for the map.
I'm not sure what's going on.

Using Java 1.6.

[android-beginners] Select/Highlight/Focus on Text in a WebView

2009-12-10 Thread Mel Navarro

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to select or highlight or focus at
text from a webview's content.

Or even select and copy text to the clipboard? (just like the default
browser)

Or even access the emulateShiftHeld() function?

I'm working on an browser and am trying to add accelerators but I can
really only focus on links and buttons.

Thanks.

[android-beginners] When a MediaPlayer object is just created using new ? 3 part question

2009-12-10 Thread Valentino XM

Hi,
I am trying my 1st audio/video coding, and i am stuck at the gate: 3
part question...


Ref:  from the Android Developers page on Audio/Video

(When a MediaPlayer object is just created using new)

Me:

(New?)   e.g;  New file, folder, project, .??


 Pt.II

 MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1);
   mp.start();


Where exactly is this code placed in my java directory. for the same
project,  In relation to the code I have already written, for other
buttons  in the main.xml  (unrelated to the is question)

Pt. III
When I switch over to the main.xml  window, in the same project...
Should i import a Video View box from theviews/layouts menu(s)

as compliment'  to the code directly below; and then reference the
VideoView box, from the main.xml  window (same project) using the
(Id) for the VideoView  in the java window, underneath the code
below, eg.


   MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1);

   mp.start();

VideoView videoEMS;
int program =0;

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

@override
public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) }
super.onCreate (savedInstanceState);
setConteentView (R.layout.main);
Log.d(TAG,onCreate started);

// I now have all my UI in the java memory

VideoEMS = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoEMS);

Re: [android-beginners] Re:

Sadly I see a lot of posts like this on various forums. I think the problem
is, lots of young kids, or even some older folks that might have dabbled in

Like iPhone, these are the same people that often release crap to the market

[android-beginners] Re: MD5 Hash is wrong

2009-12-10 Thread Mike M

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the replies.

I am sending the hash in a URL to a website to verify the information
being sent.  Every time I sent it with the above hash, it
didn't work.  When I sent it with a hash from another source (like a
website that creates hashes), it worked.

Niko20, sorry I didn't reference the function.  I didn't realize it
wasn't a built in API.  I imported another library for my project, and
I guess it gets imported from there.
I eventually used code similar to the sample you provided and it
worked.  Thanks for the suggestion.

The code I ended up using is:

public static String MD5_Hash(String s) {
MessageDigest m = null;

try {
m = MessageDigest.getInstance(MD5);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

m.update(s.getBytes(),0,s.length());
String hash = new BigInteger(1, m.digest()).toString(16);
return hash;
}

[android-beginners] Menu problems in emulator

2009-12-10 Thread Nathan

I have an Activity that works fine, loads app and displays all the
data as expected. I tried to add a simple menu, but when I start up
the emulator, the menu button doesn't work. Nothing responds. Also, I
have noticed if I click on the letters on the keypad to the right,
some chinese/japanese letters start popping up at the bottom of the
screen, and usually fill in whatever text box I am typing in with
those characters instead of English.

I am doing all of this in a 2.0 emulated device. Here is my AVD
details:
Target: Android 2.0 (API level 5)
Skin: HVGA
SD Card: 1000M
hw.lcd.density: 160


Here is the code (compiles and loads fine; just no response from the
menu button):

 @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add(0, GamesDashboard.MENU_GET_REPORT, 0, getResources
().getText(R.string.app_short_name))
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_more);
menu.add(0, GamesDashboard.MENU_VIEW_SAVED_LOCATIONS, 1,
getResources().getText
(R.string.app_name_team_selection)).setIcon
(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_myplaces);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(final int featureId, final
MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case MENU_VIEW_SAVED_LOCATIONS:
Intent intent = new Intent(GamesDashboard.this,
GamesDashboard.class);
startActivity(intent);
break;
case MENU_GET_REPORT:
break;
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}

[android-beginners] Trouble installing from SDK and AVD Manager: access denied unzipping

2009-12-10 Thread Rick Jones

I have successfully installed and am using sdk API's 2-5 and google
api level 5 from within eclipse.  However, I am unable to install
other updates (such as API 6 and, more importantly, the USB driver
package) with errors such as Unzip failed: C:\Program Files\eclipse
\android-sdk-windows\temp
\ExtraPackage.new01\i386\WinUSBCoInstaller.dll (Access is denied).

Has anyone seen this before?  I don't know what, if anything would be
preventing access to these files.  I am not out of disk space or
running multiple IDE's or anything like that.  I am running under
Windows 7, but I have seen issues like this on another XP machine as
well.

[android-beginners] how to open another application with Intent

2009-12-10 Thread Mike M

I am wondering if there is a way to open another Application (not
Activity) with intents.  I want users to be able to look at the
pictures on their device, so when they push a button, it will open the
GalleryPicker that comes on Android devices.

I've debugged my Droid when I am on the Home screen and I open the
GalleryPicker.  Here's the debugs:

INFO/ActivityManager(1015): Starting activity: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x1020
cmp=com.android.camera/.GalleryPicker }


I am trying to use this code:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.setComponent(new ComponentName(com.android.camera,
.GalleryPicker));
i.setFlags(0x1020);

startActivity(i);


When I hit the button, here is what I get in the debugs:


INFO/ActivityManager(1015): Starting activity: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x1020
pkg=com.android.camera cmp=com.android.camera/.GalleryPicker }

ERROR/AndroidRuntime(31059):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit
activity class {com.android.camera/.GalleryPicker}; have you declared
this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?



Any ideas, or is this futile?


Thanks

[android-beginners] Is it possible for me to install Java Application(.java) on Android?

2009-12-10 Thread buggyboy

Hi,
im new here. I am familiar with java programming. However, i am
not sure if i can create application using Java SE instead of using
the Android SDK and installed it on Android Phone?

I have found out a website on this stating :

But Android’s programs are written in Java, using Java-oriented IDEs
(it also comes with an Eclipse plugin)… it just doesn’t compile the
java code into java bytecode but (ops, Sun didn’t see this one coming)
into Dalvik bytecode.

So, Android uses the syntax of the Java platform (the Java “language”,
if you wish, which is enough to make java programmers feel at home and
IDEs to support the editing smoothly) and the java SE class library
but not the Java bytecode or the Java virtual machine to execute it on
the phone (and, note, Android’s implementation of the Java SE class
library is, indeed, Apache Harmony’s!)

Does that mean I can use only Java syntax to do my programming in
ANDROID SDK but i cannot directly execute a java application using
Android?

Android has this R.Java file, follows a Layout Structure using XML.
These are different from Java SE. If Android can really support a new
compiled Java Application, How should i installed it on Android
Phone?

Thanks for attention and help :)

[android-beginners] Bug in SDK Manager: cannot update

2009-12-10 Thread greg

(OSX 10.5.3):
I have re-downloaded the SDK starter pack a few times and this is what
happens:
I run ./android, click Refresh on Available Packages, and get SSL
error.  I force HTTPS over HTTP, and Refresh.

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/respository.xml
This repository requires a more recent version of the tools.
Some packages were found but are not compatible updates.


I go to Installed Packages:
Android SDK Tools, revision 4
Update All! -- nothing to update


So it appears that the SDK manager thinks I need a newer version even
though I have the newest version.

[android-beginners] Data layer best practice?

2009-12-10 Thread Jason Hoekstra

I've happily started down the path as an Android developer.  The
Notepad reference has been very helpful as a jumpstart model
application.

I am now growing my application beyond one primary activity.  I'm
curious for anyone's advice for best practice of implementing a data
layer?  C# is my primary language and there I'd create a static class
to handle database interactions, passing back collections and
objects.  However, with Android, the create db method for the sqlite
class takes a context object reference, which I'm assuming doesn't
make it possible to design a reuseable global static class. (Could be
wrong, just haven't found good examples of in books or web sites.)

Perhaps designing data access within content providers is the answer
and best practice?

Any thoughts, article references, etc are greatly appreciated.

Jason

Re: [android-beginners] Books for learning to program for Android?

2009-12-10 Thread Mark Murphy


 I'm lokking to learn to program a few apps for Android and I'd really
 like a book to work from but I've no idea which to get. The reviews
 for most of them aren't great atm.

 I do a bit of JavaScript/PHP/mySQL programming and I've had a little
 experience with ASP and Visual Basic some years ago. I've no
 experience with Java/C/C++ though.

 Does anyone have any suggestions?

I would start by spending a bit of time learning Java outside of Android.
Learning Java and Android at one time may prove frustrating, as the Java
books don't discuss Android and the Android books assume Java experience.

In terms of Android books, I have a list of the ones I know about here:

Re: [android-beginners] How to you keep your program running as a process?

2009-12-10 Thread Sean Hodges

Sounds like what you want is a Service:

A service doesn't have a visual user interface, but rather runs in
the background for an indefinite period of time. For example, a
service might play background music as the user attends to other
matters, or it might fetch data over the network or calculate
something and provide the result to activities that need it. Each
service extends the Service base class.

It sounds like your phone is faulty, try doing a factory reset to see
if the issue is software related. Otherwise, I suggest you send it
back for a replacement.

 G1 is the greatest piece of crap ever released. I'm really regret I
 was stupid enough to buy this crap. As a phone it is good as a piece
 of rock. If you can, avoid it. Use the emulator, buy a real phone. G1
 Dev is a crappy piece of hardware, and an expensive one as well.

As a G1 user, I have to disagree with you there. I would also suggest
you wait more than 15 minutes between asking if anyone else is
experiencing your problems and declaring the all G1 phones are
rubbish.


 Selling mine on ebay.


Well that's your choice. Personally I would try fixing the phone
first, but the G1 is not ideal for everyone.

Add the path as an extra to the intent being used to start the activity.
Then you can retrieve it from the activity you started.

[android-beginners] Re: Using GLSurfaceView with other views...

2009-12-10 Thread Jeremiah Sellars

I may be on the right track looking over the surface view overlay
example. Turns out it's a GLSurfaceView that is being overlaid...

In my current demo, I'm extending GLSurfaceView to make receiving user
input a bit easier. This brings two questions:

1. In the layout xml file for the surface view overlay example, it
uses a FrameLayout, and inside it creates the GLSurfaceview like
this:

android.opengl.GLSurfaceView android:id=@+id/glsurfaceview
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent /

Since I've extended my GLSurfaceView as ShapeSurfaceView and it's in
my namespace, would I use something like the above or something more
like:

com.mynamespace.tests.ShapeSurfaceView android:id=@+id/
glsurfaceview
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent /

?

2. The other thing I'm not sure on, is what constructor, if any (sorry
for my Java inexperience) is being called when you use a layout like
this? When using findViewById() to instantiate a View in code, is it's
constructor called? I really hope someone can answer...

On Dec 7, 11:50 am, Jeremiah Sellars sylus.mcf...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi Everyone,

 I believe I have a pretty clear idea on how to properly tackle a game
 while using GLSurfaceView. With the provided samples and
 documentation, I have the UI and Renderer threads going (since that's
 basically given to you) and will be implementing game logic thread (as
 soon as I understand threading a bit better).

 The question I have, is to be able to move forward with whatever else
 may need to be on screen during game play (possible touch controls,
 meters/gauges, etc), I'm trying to figure out what the best method
 would be to display them. I suppose the options would be to either
 draw them with OpenGL ES or to use other Views. I don't like the
 OpenGL idea because generally all of the game ideas I have would
 require a perspective view, and I'm not totally sure how I would
 accomplish that...

 So I'm thinking I would use other image or button views...

 I guess the ultimate question, is what is most practical? And if using
 other views, I'm slightly lost on the right way to implement it. I was
 thinking maybe a Linear Layout... some items on top, a larger area in
 the middle for the GL View, and then some items on bottom.

 I'm not looking for exact code or anything, just a nudge in the right
 direction. Thanks everyone!

Re: [android-beginners] Wanting to start and would like a good book. Suggestions?

2009-12-10 Thread Jay Swartzfeger

I started out much like you -- I'm basically a LAMP guy with HTML and
SQL experience, a smattering of XML and general scripting stuff. No
real programming experience to speak of, but I do have a general
understanding of basic programming concepts.

Check out Hello, Android by Pragmatic Programmers. Excellent book.

 Hi,

 I'm very interested in learning to develop apps for Android and I've
 been reading all about it and reading lots of the info here on
 Google.

 My background: I've got some experience using PHP, JavaScript, HTML,
 mySQL (SQL and Oracle) and I've created a few sites with PHP/Apache/
 mySQL as well as the old HTML/CSS stuff. I did some work with ASP/
 Visual Basic about 10 years ago and although the details will be out
 of date my point is I know a little programming.

 I've no experience with Java or C/C++ or XML though (although XML
 isn't totally alien to me - it's often mentioned in the books I used
 for HTML).

 What I'd like is a nice book for beginners for Android.

 Has anyone any suggestions? I've look at reviews for a few books and
 I'm usually a fan of O'Reilly stuff but the reviews for their Android
 stuff aren't too encouraging.

 Thanks for any help

[android-beginners] Problem with VideoView when playing a mp4/3gp file

2009-12-10 Thread Yousuf Syed

Hi,

I was working on developing a VideoPlayer. I am getting an error while
running the .mp4 file  on VideoView. This error occurs when I click on the
video view when the video is playing or if I start the video directly. The
error dialogue that appears on the screen says application stopped
unexpectedly.

Does anyone knows whats wrong with my code. Is there any other thing that I
need to do like adding permissions or intent filters.

Here is the code that can give more understanding about my application Video
Player..

public class VideoPlayer extends Activity {
VideoView videoview;
Context context;
Bundle bundle;
Intent sender;
volatile boolean FLAG_FOR_FAVORITE;
volatile boolean FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE = false;
MediaController mediaController;
TextView wordtext;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
context = this.getApplicationContext();
sender = this.getIntent();

setContentView(R.layout.videoplayer);

Bundle retrieving_bundle = sender.getExtras();
String wordname = retrieving_bundle.getString(txtstring);
String filename = /sdcard/ + wordname + .mp4;
ImageButton playpause = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.playpause);

mediaController = new MediaController(context);
wordtext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.vocabularyword);
wordtext.setText(wordname);

///Code for setting video View //
try{
videoview = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.wordvideo);
videoview.setVideoPath(filename);
videoview.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoview.requestFocus();
//videoview.start(); *This gives an error if
not commented This is what I meant by running directly*
videoview.setClickable(false);
videoview.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
if(FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE == false){
FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE = true;
videoview.start();
}
to remove from favorites ///
else if(FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE == true){
FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE = false;
videoview.pause();
}

}
});
}
catch(Exception e){
Log.v(video,e.getMessage());
}

playpause.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v)
{
ImageButton pauseplay =
(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.playpause);
/ to add to favorites/
if(FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE == false){
pauseplay.setImageResource(R.drawable.pause);
FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE = true;
videoview.start();
}
to remove from favorites ///
else if(FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE == true){
pauseplay.setImageResource(R.drawable.play);
FLAG_FOR_PLAY_PAUSE = false;
videoview.pause();
}
   }
});

  }

[android-beginners] Help finding documentation for actions in the manifest file

2009-12-10 Thread Joe Mihalich

Hi,

 This has been killing me.  I finally found examples around the
net for things I wanted to experiment with.  I had to go searching cuz
I could find this information anywhere in the API Docs.

 I got one answered, but I need help with the other.

 1) For listening for broadcast SMS messages through a broadcast
receiver, I see that you have to defined the action, for the intent in
the broadcast receiver element as:

   receiver android:name=.myClassName
   intent-filter
   action android:name=
   android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED /
   /intent-filter

   First, where is that name

android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED defined?  How am I supposed to
track that down in the API Doc?

There is no android.provider.Telephony class or package.

   Second, in the code for receiving the actual broadcast, I see
you need to do something like this to get the message(s).

   Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get(pdus);

   Where is it defined that the extra name in the bundle is pdus
for SMS messages.

Thanks,
Joe

[android-beginners] SimpleDateFormat and Android 2.0

2009-12-10 Thread Carl Cedergren

Hi guys,

i am having some problems with SimpleDateFormat under Android 2.0, the
following code:

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(MMM);
Log.i(TAG,date is +formatter.format(new Date()).toString
().toUpperCase());

Should return a three letter abbreviation of this months name, and it
does under 1.5 and 1.6, but under 2.0 it just gives me the number of
the month?

I have enabled USB debugging in Settings-Applications- Development.

Can someone please help me?

[android-beginners] How can we change the view of the tabs?

2009-12-10 Thread Achanta

I want to provide a clickthrough on the list in a tab which opens
another view.
I need to open the new view within the same tab. I then need to
provide a back button on the changed layout to change the view to
original view.

I have tried this.

Intent intentA = new Intent(this, AView.class);

Now I am trying to access the tabSpec from main activity class
[MainTabView] and set the intent as follows.

MainTabView.tabSpec1.setContent(intentA);
MainTabView.mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

MainTabView.mTabHost.invalidate();

But this does not change the view immediately but changes it when I go
to another tab and come to the starting tab. How can I make it to
refresh it as soon as the content has been changed to another intent?

Yes, same question from me. I currently am building an app that has

Is a ViewFlipper or multiple Activities the better way to go?

I don't have the Dream but I do have the HTC Eris which runs 1.5. Verizon

quarter of 2010. So HTC is working on upgrading their software. This doesn't

2010.
