For what it is worth you can run multiple versions of Eclipse on your machine. 
I regularly have two or three different Eclipse folders (eclipse-3.4, 
eclipse-3.5, eclipse-3.6). Rather than removing Helios, just grab another copy 
of 3.5 and add the ADT to that.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Unable to deploy apps to AVD using Eclipse

2010-07-26 Thread Sam Hobbs 
Evidently there are two versions of DEP; the earlier version is done 
using software and a newer version that uses hardware. The hardware 
version exists only in 64-bit processors and is used only by 64-bit Windows.


DEP can prevent code from being executed that is in memory designated as 
data. It makes sense that a DEP would be a problem for a VM. DEP can be 
enabled/disabled for specific processes.


I hope the following helps.

Vista and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista

Found the problem. I should have learned my lesson by now. When you do
any substantial resource changes, you have to uninstall the app from
all your targets or you end up with a toxic mix of old and new
resources info. Problem solved.

Looks good.

What I would do at this point is gradually rebuild the layouts bottom up,

Thanks! it worked. Only thing i am not sure of now is how to set the
weight of a Button programmatically instead of thru the xml.
I could not see any setWeight method and the LayoutParams class also
does not have the weight param.

@Sam

Thank you for your support.

I have tried different configurations and disabled the antivirus and the
firewall though I doubt this is related to anyone of them.



@DanH

Yes that is right, but considering the large number of developers who are
using the SDK without any problem leave me with one option and that is a
problem with the configuration.

 BTW my antivirus is Avast home. Also, I have run Eclipse under
Administrator role which in turn will invoke any process as trusted. Yet no
results :(

I will delete everything from my computer and start everything fresh as my
Ubuntu is very slow under VMware.

Bret,

Is there really a line break in the failing case? I mean between "@+id/" 
and "ViewEvents"?

[android-beginners] Re: Large jars in Android

2010-07-26 Thread kypriakos 

Hey Paul,

I will try increasing the -Xmx to 768 and hope it helps out. I am also
looking for circular refs in the jars just in case that is the problem
but I doubt I will find any.

Some older postings do refer to apps that go to size up to 16MB and
more
so my 5MB one should not be the issue. I think the packaging of
apps over 1MB gives the Android plug in a bit too much to chew (
especially if it is composed of thousands of classes) ...

I will let you know how it goes - thanks

Something's got to be different.

Open R.java and scan for your view id there, check to see if maybe you 
have a close sounding ID, or there is a capitalization difference.

Re: [android-beginners] Notepadv2

2010-07-26 Thread Sam Hobbs 

Oh, thank you very much; using 2.2 works.

The instructions for Notepadv2 (exercise 2) say to create the project 
the same as Notepadv1 (exercise 1) and Notepadv1 says "we recommend 
selecting a target with the lowest platform version available", so is 
that misleading? Should the Notepadv2 instructions explain about the 
requirement for 2.2 and the fix you provide here for older versions?

Re: [android-beginners] Changes required to handle dual orientations

2010-07-26 Thread Kostya Vasilyev 

Bret,

You use the same layout XML file names and same widget IDs in both files 
- that way, orientation changes (and other alternate resources) are 
completely transparent to the application code.


But it's "res/layout-land", not "res/layout/land".

More info here:

[android-beginners] Imagebutton layout

I have been trying to do a simple layout for sometime now I still
haven't figured it out.

Basically, I want to show four imagebuttons of equal size on the
screen
(each button 1/4th the size of the screen). Sort of like the picsquare

I am trying to avoid absolute pixel sizes in the code so that it works
on any display size/orientation.

Appreciate any inputs...

[android-beginners] Re: GPS satellite icon

2010-07-26 Thread Bret Foreman 
Jake,

At least on my Droid, Android 2.1 keeps the GPS receiver on
continuously whenever there is a registered listener, regardless of
the time/distance update parameters. It's much better to unregister
and re-register the listener when you need an update. Of course, this
might be fixed in Android 2.2. I haven't checked.

[android-beginners] Notepadv2

2010-07-26 Thread Sam Hobbs 
I am getting errors from the Notepadv2 sample in the tutorials. If the 
problem is that I made a mistake, then I will try to figure it out but I 
really think I followed instructions. The tutorial is at:


http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html

The Notepadv1 works for me, but Notepadv2 gets the errors below. All I 
did was to create the project from the Notepadv2 source without 
modifying anything. The gen folder is empty so I assume I can ignore the 
errors about R.

Click right on your project, and "refresh" (or F5).
then go to "Project" menu , and click on "Build All"
if you can't click, first uncheck "Build automaticly"in the same menu
("Project").

[android-beginners] Regarding the surfaceview

2010-07-26 Thread ameya dandekar 
Hi,
   I am currently working on the app in which my media player class is
singleton, and i want to play the video files. I use surfaceView for the
video display part. But the problem i m facing is when i change the
orientation , the previous playback disappears (if was playing) and the new
surface view is  getting created ..but  the callback method surface created
is not getting called in which i want to take further action. Where am i
going wrong ?

Regards,
Ameya

2010-07-26 Thread Jake Colman 

Bret,

Is your hack only required for continuous GPS monitoring?  What abotu if
you request updates only when the location has changed by a certain
distance?  Does it keep the GPS on continuously just so it knows whether
the you have moved the required distance?  If so, it sounds like Id be
better off using your hack.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: problem with r,java

2010-07-26 Thread Shaista Naaz 
 Hi Ganesh,

 When we make the project first time, it takes some sequence of build,
clean, switching build automatically on and off and run, if you run this
sequence some two or three times your R.java should be created and in the
console of your eclipse you will see something like loading your application
in phone, some stuff like that.

 R.java will be created only when your project is built successfully
otherwise it will not.

If you are making changes in the .xml files in the project where R.java was
created before, then just don't clean or built rather go to run history and
run your application.

Regards,
Shaista Naaz

[android-beginners] Re: JNI in android

2010-07-26 Thread DanH 
You shouldn't have a void* in any of the JNI C interfaces.  If you
need a void* that Java code can pass around you should wrapper the
value with a Java object.

Callback would be handled with the invocation interface.

[android-beginners] Re: problem with r,java

2010-07-26 Thread DanH 
R.java should be in the "gen" directory of your project, and further
nested (if you observe it in the file system) by the directories of
your project path.

If you installed the Android add-on for Eclipse R.java should be
automatically created, but I don't recall if it's created immediately
after you create the project, or during the first build you do.

Of course, the R.java file is generated from the several files in the
"res" directory, so if there's something wrong there it may not be
generated.
