Re: [android-beginners] Re: Optimizing drawing on a canvas

 Are you calling the Drawable method setBounds()? Android Graphics will
 check to make sure the rendering is inside this rectangle before
 actually putting pixels on the screen.


It's a png I've loaded from drawable, I suppose setBounds() is called
when loading the image?

Dumbed down a bit am I doing (obj.myBitmap is a large bitmap
containing several images and I just want to show one, that's the
reason for haveing a source rect):
Rect vp = new Rect (100, 100, 400, 300);
public void draw (Canvas c)
{
   // normalize the position of the object
   Rect transformedPos = new Rect (obj.pos.left - vp.left, obj.pos.top
- vp.top, obj.pos.right - vp.left, obj.pos.top - vp.top);
   c.drawBitmap (obj.myBitmap, obj.imageMetricsRect, transformedPos, null);
}

This is called very frequently so I'd like to optimize it fairly well.
But at the same time if canvas does the same check would the trade off
of having the check all around to save a call doing the same thing not
be worth it. So to be precise this is what I would add:

Rect vp = new Rect (100, 100, 400, 300);
public void draw (Canvas c)
{
   // normalize the position of the object
   Rect tp = new Rect (obj.pos.left - vp.left, obj.pos.top - vp.top,
obj.pos.right - vp.left, obj.pos.top - vp.top);
   if (tp.left  vp.right  tp.right  vp.left  tp.top  vp.bottom
 tp.bottom  vp.top)
   c.drawBitmap (obj.myBitmap, obj.imageMetricsRect, tp, null);
}

So I suppose my question is: Does Canvas just draw everythign being
thrown at it and then crops to the size of the screen or does it check
if there's a point drawing and then just draws the visible parts?

If it's option 1 I would assume that checking both if any portion of
the image is inside the screen and adjusting the src rect to be the
visible part would make sense?

 Hi all,

 I just wonder if Canvas.draw... checks if I want to draw outside its
 bounds and skips thoose parts or if I should do the math myself. The
 case I'm having is that I have an update and the user has scrolled
 away from that part of the screen. Should I bother adding an if
 statement around the drawBitmap or is the only overhead that draw is
 being called and just doesn't do anything?

 Thanks in advance

 The ADP1 and ADP2 are for people building replacement firmware. For

  Also, I wonder what the device provides that the emulator does not.

 It makes phone calls! :-)

  I would imagine the answer to the above depends on what features of

  Does it support accelerometer, camera, maps and other sensors?

 Accelerometer, camera, sensors: not in any meaningful fashion.

 Maps: yes.

Salam dear.

You can take the data from one form to other by passing bundles with
intents. You can take data from 1st form and receive in 2nd. Then take 1st
data + 2nd data to 3rd form and then send subsequent responses back.

This tutorial will surely help you out.

 Is there a smarter way to reuse a view in the layout of several different

What I would probably do, based on the info you provided:
- Encapsulate the similar onClickListener code into one class. Take care of
differences via parameters or by subclassing.
 - Create a single XML layout file that defines the ImageView with it's
properties as it will be across all activities with a single ID. Use the
include tag in the other Activities layouts to re-use the view in those
layouts.
- Create some helper function to find the ImageView in question for a given
activity and set the appropriate click listener on it.

Hope that helps.

[android-beginners] Downgrading 2.1 app to 1.5

2010-04-22 Thread MartinM
I've a (non-google maps) app that I want to install on a 1.5 phone.
However, it was originally built for 2.1, and when I set the target as
1.5 I get some errors:

1. 'invalid resource directory name' - the directory exists and is
unchanged, the contents are listed in the Eclipse browser. Errors
shown on re/drawable-hdpi, re/drawable-ldpi and re/drawable-mdpi

2. 'R cannot be resolved'. This appears to be the fact that R.java is
no longer present. I've fixed this by importing android.R (not sure
why it needed to be done again), but now

setContentView(R.layout.main); cannot be resolved.

I see that I still don't have an R.java.


A bit confused here :)

[android-beginners] Re: Is there a concept like DLL in Andoirds?

If you download the NDK and look at the examples, it really isn't that
difficult to add a library.  In fact, it is recomended to place any
mathmatical processes into c/c++ code rather than java to speed up
processing.

Once you have the c library, you can drop the file into your android
lib directory on any of your projects and it will be compiled into you
APK.

Re: [android-beginners] Getting one form data on anather form

2010-04-22 Thread Kaustubh Padegaonkar
you can use the function putExtra() while creating a new intent, and use
getExtra() after the new intent has been created. that is assuming, you are
using intents for forms.

//make new intent code
//call new intent code
putExtra(key name, data)

and where the new intent is picked up, in the called class, just use
getExtra(key name)

that should do it.

[android-beginners] Reading Notifications

2010-04-22 Thread Eamon
Hi there.  I'm new to Android development but have done amateur
programming since high school.  I would like to find out if there is a
way to query the NotificationManager for all of the current
notifications.  I already understand how to create them and the
difference between the different types of notifications.  However, I
would like to be able to have the phone perform actions based on the
presence of notifications from certain programs.  I have seen a few
programs (like SmartVibrator) that can create custom vibrate patterns
for phone calls and SMS messages, but I'm unclear on how it works.

Questions:

1.  Can I ask the NotificationManager for a list of current
notifications?
2.  Can I intercept or identify notifications without hacking
NotificationManager to pieces?


Thanks for the help!

No, sorry. Intercepting notifications, in particular, would be quite the
security loophole.

In general, on Android, one application cannot see or mess with another
application's stuff. So, while your desired features would be
interesting for the OS itself, they aren't going to be very practical to
implement in an application written to the SDK.

find the restrictions placed on the View's boundaries. The restictions
are either EXACTLY, AT_MOST, or UNSPECIFIED. Well my questions
is, what determines these restictions? What calls and passes the
arguments of onMeasure that determine these restrictions? Is it the
parent View? Please help, im so confused.

[android-beginners] Re: Android Development Phones

2010-04-22 Thread Indicator Veritatis
As you noticed, the official developer phone is a bit pricey. But
since it is still generally best to target application for 1.5, an
unlocked G1 phone is just as viable, and a lot less pricey.

You have probably already noticed that you cannot upload an app from
the emulator to the Android Market.

 Hi,

 I want to purchase an Android developer phone. It seems to be bit pricey at
 $399 (including international shipping). Is it an absolute necessity for
 testing applications before uploading to market?

 Also, I wonder what the device provides that the emulator does not.
 I would imagine the answer to the above depends on what features of Android
 I wish to use in my app. However, I would like to know the extent of device
 emulation provided by the emulator.

 Does it support accelerometer, camera, maps and other sensors?

 Please advice.

 Regards,
 Sanjeev

[android-beginners] Re: Downgrading 2.1 app to 1.5

2010-04-22 Thread Indicator Veritatis
And above all, don't confuse your own 'R' with 'android.R'. They are
different files. To get setContentView(R.layout.main) to work,
Eclipse needs to find your 'R', not Android's.

'R' is supposed to be automatically generated by Eclipse whenever you
add a line to the relevant XML file. But there are bugs in the build
system. Usually you can work around them by doing 'Clean' on the
project. If that doesn't work, escalate by closing and re-opening the
project, turning build automatically off and then back on...

  1. 'invalid resource directory name' - the directory exists and is

 Different resolutions was added in 1.6 so they're invalid in 1.5.

   2. 'R cannot be resolved'. This appears to be the fact that R.java is

  why it needed to be done again), but now

 The resource file is generated from your resources. Fix the above issue and
 this should build fine.

   setContentView(R.layout.main); cannot be resolved.

 See #2 above.

[android-beginners] Is it possible to 'listen' for sent SMS messages?

2010-04-22 Thread EdKawas
Hi,

From what i can tell, you can create a broadcast receiver for
listening for received SMS messages, but I want to listen for sent
messages. Can this be done?

Thanks,

Ed

[android-beginners] Question on web service mobile client app for Android using ksoap2.

2010-04-22 Thread Anjana
Hi

I am creating web service clients in mobile devices (Android) through
the use of ksoap2 libraries.

http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/Concepts/MakingACall.html
states:
For the Finding API, no URL parameters or HTTP headers, including X-
EBAY-SOA-SECURITY-APPNAME can be specified in the SOAP header.

If they cannot be specified in SOAP header, how else can it done
(preferably using ksoap2 library). I tried appending parameters to the
URL, then calling AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new
AndroidHttpTransport(URL); (everything else prior to the call is done,
sorry for not posting the code) but this yields soap fault.

Any thoughts/ suggestions? Thanks.
Anjana.

2010-04-22 Thread VoCaLiSt
Hi
i`m trying to use Remote Service btween two simple application, But
it`s not easy to me.
So any advice you have will help me.

here`s my case.

I made one app which is playing Music in service,
There are two components.
one is Activity controlling service by using three buttons,
play,pause, stop.
and it is working fine.

and another one is just simple Activity which also has four buttons
bind,play,stop,unbind.
when i click bind, it`s confirmed by Toast msg, but when i click play
button,it occurs error.

i want to control first activity`s Music playing service in second
Activity.
So i`m trying to use remote service.
i made same .aidl file in each app project.
In aidl file, i defined methods  playing,stoping
and i implement those methods in Music service class,
implementation is simply use intent and startService  stopService.

In DDMS there is java.lang.SecurityException : Binder invocation to
an incorrect interface
that`s the case  what i`m doing.

So please tell me what`s the problem.
any advice could help me.
thanks
Gun.
