[android-beginners] Regarding CTS test apk Signing procedure

2010-05-07 Thread pradeep
Hi

I am trying to develop new cts testcases. After I ran those testcases
by adding them in CTS,
I got the below error.

Permission Denial: starting  instrumentation
ComponentInfo{com.android.cts.performance4/
android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner}
from pid=6365, uid=6365 not allowed because package
com.android.cts.performance4  does not have a signature matching the
target com.android.mms

I thought it is something related to signing the newly developed test
apks.

I have the below queries related to signing the cts test apks. I would
be grateful if any one can clear these doubts.

1.  What kind of signing should be followed to sign  cts test apks if
they have to be build in ubuntu linux.
2.  Do we need to get signed our certificate from any Certification
authority
3.  Since CTS test apks test other applications, do they need to be
signed with same certificate [used to sign android applications
present in the phone]. If yes , then is it required to specify that
private key in Android manifest file

Thanks,
Pradeep

[android-beginners] Reading contacts

2010-05-07 Thread Emanuele
Hi,
I'm trying to read all the contacts stored in the phone using this
code:

Cursor cursorNumber =
context.getContentResolver().query( Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]
{ Contacts.Phones._ID, Contacts.Phones.NAME,
Contacts.Phones.NUMBER }, null, null, null );

but the result seems empty until the moment I sync the contacts with
Google. Is that possible? Is it a limitation of Google Contacts API?

[android-beginners] Functioning of Intent.action_pick_activity??

2010-05-07 Thread chris2a
Hello everybody!!

Here is I would like to set up in my application, the function of
sharing (facebook, twitter, e-mail) as that of YouTube for example but
I get lost little. By looking I saw that apparently it would be
necessary to use Intent.action_pick_activity but I do not manage to
see how using it on my case.

What is that somebody has already implemented this kind of thing?
Either what is what somebody knows where I can find examples?? Thanks
to all!

It will be in $ANDROID_SDK/platforms/$VERSION/tools, where $ANDROID_SDK
is wherever you installed the SDK and $VERSION is some Android version
(e.g., android-2.1).

[android-beginners] Re: Android GPS degree format

2010-05-07 Thread cellurl
yea its definitely degrees. No minutes, no seconds, just degrees and
fractional degrees.
DD Decimal Degrees (49.5000°,-123.5000°)

 I can't back this up, but I'm fairly certain it's decimal degrees. Seems
 like the only format that's easily represented by a single double value.

LOL!  No, I am glad that I found the answer but I just wish that I had
persisted in searching for it a little longer before posting my
question.  But the good news is that maybe someone else with the same
problem will read my post and find the answer faster than I did.
