 I've tried using the OpenCSV (http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/) library
 to read the file into a List of Strings[], and my app crashes. 

Of a 4.3MB CSV file? That's not surprising -- you're probably blowing
out your heap. If you are going to do your work this way, you will need
to read in a few lines, insert those in the database, and move along,
rather than try to read the whole file into RAM in one shot.

Even better would be to simply have the user download a SQLite database
file, or package a SQLite database file in your application, rather than
fussing around with slow CSV imports.

[android-beginners] Help with displaying HTML formatted strings from an ArrayAdapter

2010-03-23 Thread Soren

  I appologize for the absolute beginner questions, but I am having a
tough time understanding this.

  I need some help of how to display the strings that I have marked up
with simple html into a TextView. I have found Spanned
fromHtml(String source), but I don't know how to plug it into my java
code or really how to use it. In my code below would HistoryList be my
string source?

Here is my Java:

package com.SorenWinslow.TriumphHistory;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

public class TriumphHistory extends ListActivity {
String[] HistoryList;

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

ArrayAdapterString adapter;
HistoryList = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.history);
adapter = new ArrayAdapterString
(this,R.layout.historylistlayout,HistoryList);
setListAdapter(adapter);

}
}

Here is a sample of history:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
string-array name=history
itemb1883/bbr/Some stuff happened/item
itemb1884/bbr/Some more stuff happened ibefore/i the other
stuff
/item
resources

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:id=@android:id/text1
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:textAppearance=?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge
android:gravity=center_vertical
android:textColor=#ff
android:background=#50
android:layout_marginTop=5px
android:minHeight=?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight
android:padding=3px
android:textSize=8pt android:layout_gravity=top|left/


And here is my main.xml

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?


LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=vertical
android:textColor=#ff
android:background=#80
android:isScrollContainer=true
android:layout_height=fill_parent
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:scrollbarStyle=insideOverlay

  ListView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:id=@android:id/list
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:clickable=true
android:dividerHeight=1px/

/LinearLayout

[android-beginners] ROAMING on Android, has anyone ever worked with it???

2010-03-23 Thread Gustavo

Hello guys,

I'm working on a project that I need to know whether the device is on
roaming or not. I've been digging until the very last page of Google
without success, I haven't found any sample code of how to accomplish
that.

This is the far that I could go:

ServiceState ss = new ServiceState();
Log.i(TAG, roaming 1:  + ss.getRoaming());
Log.i(TAG, roaming 2:  + ss.getOperatorAlphaLong());
Log.i(TAG, roaming 3:  + ss.getOperatorAlphaShort());
Log.i(TAG, roaming 4:  + ss.getOperatorNumeric());
Log.i(TAG, roaming 5:  + ss.getState());

and it results:

roaming 1: false
roaming 2: null
roaming 3: null
roaming 4: null
roaming 5: 1


I have no idea what the snippet bellow is for, but I decided to add it
into my Manifest file just in case:

uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION /
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_UPDATES /
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE /


Can any of you guys help me on this one?

PS: I'm testing it on my Droid, and I've got plenty of SIM Cards from
other countries and cities so that I can get the roaming status to be
on.

Regards

-gustavo

[android-beginners] Re: Download a file from a URL extremely slow, am I doing it right?

Thanks for the suggestion Mark,

I tried the following:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(my URL);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null)
{
InputStream stream = entity.getContent();
byte buf[] = new byte[1024 * 1024];
int numBytesRead;
BufferedOutputStream fos = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(my output file));
do
{
numBytesRead = stream.read(buf);
if (numBytesRead  0)
{
fos.write(buf, 0, numBytesRead);
}
} while (numBytesRead  0);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
stream.close();
buf = null;
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}

I timed it with GregorianCalendar objects instantiated before and
after the process.  It came in at 10.91 minutes (655 seconds).

I then tried the same code, but using a 1KB buffer instead of a 1MB
buffer, this code came in at 713 seconds, 11.89 minutes.

I then timed my old code (in the first post) which clocked in at 15.43
minutes (925 seconds).

All of these times were running through the debugger on my dev phone
2.

Do you think I would get any speed improvement if I tried to figure
out how to implement the BinaryResponseHandler?  I found this
HttpClient tutorial (http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/
tutorial/pdf/httpclient-tutorial.pdf) but I'm still not clear on how
the response handler would fit my needs.  From the example in the
tutorial it seems like it returns a byte array, but that's not
practical in my situation as the entity content would be ~6.5MB,
better to write that to my file as I receive it.

Thanks again for the help Mark,

Rob

Who-hoo! 29% speed improvement!

You might try running outside the debugger.

Agreed. Still, something seems strange.

Let me know if droppin' the debuggah helps.

I just tried your code on a Nexus One, over WiFi, and it downloaded a
5.9MB file in around 14 seconds.

[android-beginners] Re: Download a file from a URL extremely slow, am I doing it right?

I'm currently testing whether reading the entire file into memory,
then doing one write is faster.  So far it seems to be only slightly
faster (still downloading).  I suspect the BufferedOutputStream
eliminates this optimization's value, and probably is safer than
allocating a large ~7MB block of memory.

I tried to run my app without the debugger but haven't yet figured out
how to do that.  When I disconnect the device from the USB and then
run it from the phone it just comes up saying Waiting for debugger,
haven't had the chance yet to figure out how to make it no longer wait
for the debugger to connect.  I'll try that know and let you know my
results.

Thanks!

[android-beginners] Re: Download a file from a URL extremely slow, am I doing it right?

Ok I just figured out how to get my app on the device (I did exported
through Eclipse, and then zipalign on the command-line).  I installed
it, and ran it, and the download was roughly the same speed as when I
run through the debugger on the device.  This was with the USB cable
disconnected as well.  This is on an Android Dev Phone 2 (HTC Magic).

The only thing I can think is that I still had the debuggable flag set
to true in the manifest when I exported, would this affect the speed
on the device if not connected via USB?

I wouldn't expect it to. But, since I'm not an Eclipse user and don't
set that flag, I'm certainly not an expert on the subject. :-)

Some other things to consider:

-- You're on WiFi, right?

-- Does the Browser application behave similarly sluggishly?

-- Have you tried this in an emulator image?

[android-beginners] Re: Download a file from a URL extremely slow, am I doing it right?

Yes on WiFi, no the browser doesn't seem to perform similarly
sluggish, although I'm not able to get it to download a large file so
I can't compare that.  Is there a way to test that?  I did go to
Google and do an image search though and some of those thumbnails were
quite slow to load.

When you say in an emulator image do you mean through the debugger
targeted at the emulator?  Or do you mean installing it to the
emulator with adb (same as I installed it to the device)?  I have
tried it on the emulator and it's even slower on there, everything is
slower.  This is an emulator built for Android 1.5 (my app's target).

 quite slow to load.

Well, the speed difference is over 40x (~14 seconds to 600+ seconds), so
I would think if the Browser had similar problems, it'd be bindlingly
obvious.

 When you say in an emulator image do you mean through the debugger
 targeted at the emulator?  Or do you mean installing it to the
 emulator with adb (same as I installed it to the device)? 

I mean on an emulator. How you get it there (Eclipse, ant, adb,
manually poking hex values into flash) is up to you. :-)

 I have
 tried it on the emulator and it's even slower on there, everything is
 slower.  This is an emulator built for Android 1.5 (my app's target).

I just tried it on an Android 1.5 emulator. It took exactly 14 seconds.

Switch your code to download this file:

http://commonsware.com/misc/test.mp4

to:

/sdcard/test.mp4

and see what happens. If this works much more quickly for you, then
there's something afoot with the Web server you're downloading from.

[android-beginners] Re: Add calendar item through Intent?

Hi,

The calendar is provided as a content provider, and you can use it to
add events. Have a look at 
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html

Good luck!

 Hi all,

 I'm developing an app that displays a list of events and would like to know
 if there's any standard way to add an item to the (Google) calendar,
 preferably by sending an Intent? I'm developing for Android 1.5.

 Thanks for any hint!

The Calendar content provider is not part of the SDK.

If you wish to manipulate a user's Google Calendar, there's a Google Web
service API for that:

[android-beginners] Re: possible to send an xml file via HttpClient?

Then you do the other way around: Open an InputStream from the
HttpURLConnection, and and OutputStream to the file you want to store
it to, and transfer the data.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: onClickListener of a view

2010-03-23 Thread murali raju

ya framelayout always places views on the left-top corner. Instead use any
other layout like linear and add to it when ever a new view is created. I
think if u can show your code the problem can be solved faster.

On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Luca bedogni.l...@gmail.com wrote:

I think that the problem is that the FrameLayout accepts only one
image, and places the last one on the top of the others.
So I think I have to change approach, any hint?

Beside that, I noticed that the view added has the dimensions of the

coz you are using the same view object to all the shapes. so only

Everything works fine, except for the clickListener. In fact, when

only
the last one, and not what I clicked.
