[android-beginners] Re: Update 1.6

2009-10-23 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

This is a developer forum for Android SDK issues.

However,  to assist you, your options  are:
1. Contact Vodafone Tech support, if you want the official  update.
This is the safe, official, and probably easiest way.

If you want to have some hacking fun and can live with the thrill/risk
of having a bricked phone then there are other options like
2. You can root  the phone and flash  an image from the HTC site
http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
[The Google-IO-Device is not the same as HTC Magic, so check the
versions of the s/w, bootloader etc. It may or may not be compatible.
I have flashed the HTC Dream image on a G1, but not the Google ION on
a HTC Magic. A thorough research and fully charged battery is always
advisable in this matter.]
3. Or even more fun and more thrill is using a third party distro of
Android (where some of your favorite apps may not be available).

It is requestWindowFeature (Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)

this snippet will do the trick...

 Hello All,

 I have developed a dialog box and put two controls there. One is Volume icon 
 and the Close button. But both the controls are not showing completely top 
 corners of dialog. I want both should be in top corners of Dialog box. Please 
 see the attached image for reference.
 The problem now is, there is big space for Dialog box title. You can see the 
 attached picture, which will show how the volume icon couldn't be able to go 
 to top corner, instead struck at the big space(right side space) provided for 
 dialogbox title, so it's getting hidden a bit.
 I want to remove this title space for dialog, so that i think i'll be able to 
 put my two controls on top corners.
 I tried already tried this - requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);  
 but it is throwing error for dialogbox.

 Suggestions please?

You can use methods like setGravity. You may have to create an

[android-beginners] Re: Controlling who and when can access for a Service and Waiting for Android Threads to finish

One solution for question 1 is :
Maintain a state machine internal to your Service. If your service is
not in ready state, calls to bindService can return false and calls
to startService can ignore the request.

[android-beginners] Re: Problems with WakeLock

2009-10-16 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

Ok. I was able to reproduce the problem, but it happened only twice
( I must have tried it about 12~15 times).

I also found this discussion thread .
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/a9c4c2fd37f8f6a6

I assume you have a reference to mWakeLock object, I do in my test
program.

Seems like a timing issue. The GC kicks in before the

You can check out the source code file that gives you insights into
the layout file for simple_list_item_checked

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/layout/simple_list_item_checked.xml;h=95612f63f3144703913aee3f0d06e032074b8f0b;hb=HEAD

It uses the CheckedTextView as its View.

The two attributes that you can use for the CheckedTextView are
checkMark and checked.

CheckedTextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:id=@android:id/text1
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight
android:textAppearance=?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge

[android-beginners] Re: problem in services

2009-10-06 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

Service is a faceless UI-less application component. You need a
trigger to start it, either from an Activity which then may go away
or in response to a broadcast intent from a BroadcastReceiver that may
call the Service's startService method. (Note, you can't bind to the
service from a broadcast Receiver, you can only call the startService
method.).

 This does not happen in the emulator, and certainly should not in the

 Hi,
 I am new to Android, and am writing an app which has 2 EditTexts

 copy each letter into B. I managed to get this to work perfectly with
 the setOnKeyListener(). However, in the emulator I found that the
 virtual keyboard did not respond to this listener the same way. For
 some weird reason, the number keys in the Virtual Keyboard (0-9)
 responded to the onKeyListener but none of the others did. After doing
 a Google search of my issue, I found some people with similar
 problems, but no real solution. I realized there is a
 KeyboardView.OnKeyboardActionListener which listens for inputs from
 the virtual keyboard. However, I have no idea how to use this in my
 edittext field. I would appreciate some sort of help with this matter.

Then probably you are not using 1.6 SDK, because invalidateAllKeys()

2009-09-23 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

Can you post the code you used to programmatically create an
EditText ?

The following code snippet in an activity does what you want it to do.

EditText e = new EditText(this);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams vw = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams
(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
addContentView(e, vw);

Hope this helps,

 What I do not understand is that nothing happens when clicking into the

 Creating the EditText element in a layout xml everything works fine. But this

[android-beginners] Re: Scroll image like a WebView

2009-09-22 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

You are right. ScrollView only supports vertical scrolling and
HoriontalScrollView supports horizontal scrolling.

Since WebView scrolls like you want to it, why don't use it ?

WebView w = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webkit);
w.loadUrl(http://www.android.com/goodies/android_vector.jpg;);

Use the url of the image, not a web page.

 This means horizontal, and vertical scrollbars.

 Since ScrollView and HorizontalScrollView only have vertical, and
 horizontal  scrollbars respectively, neither of these will do what I
 want. Sticking a HorizontalScrollView inside a ScrollView doesn't
 work, because the horizontal scroll bar disappears when you scroll up.

 WebView scrolls exactly like what I want, but I don't want to display
 a web page, just an image created dynamically. There has to be some
 way of doing this without writing an entirely new class.

No, you are not. A build.xml does not show up in your Eclipse Android
project. You can use the instructions at
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html#RunningAnApplication
to run your app.

[android-beginners] Re: why I can't use movieview to play the movie came from the internet?

2009-08-26 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

It may not be a good idea to use Classes from the com.android.camera
package since that is not part of the SDK. The MovieView is an
internal class are classes used by the Camera app.

Did you try using the VideoView class, with the setVideoURI
(rtsp://... ) method?

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/VideoView.html#setVideoURI(android.net.Uri)

You can check out sample code for the VideoView at
http://developer.android.com/guide/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/media/VideoViewDemo.html.

If problems still persist, please post your code here.

You can access it with the getAssets() method.

 Hello!

 I've been looking around for some info about android for any phone,
 other the T-mobile and HTC developer platform.

 I have a linux based phone, the yujua Inid, sold in spain as Funker
 f901 and in Thayland (Where I got it) as i-mobile 904.

 IT has an Intel PXA270 processor at 400mhz, 64mb RAM and 128mb Flash
 NAND ram, touchscreen, 2mpx autofocus camera with light. It seems to
 cope ok with minimum requirements for android phone.

 The process to get its nand flash rewritten is suspiciously similar to
 that of HTC android enabled phones.

 I got to press and hold a button in the cel, plug it in the usb port,
 and it is recognized as a serial port. I have an utility on the PC
 that allows me to load different libraries and files, and they get
 into the phone, in order to get it actualized.  The utility reads
 either a large .bin file (which as I coud see, is comprised of the
 different libraries and files, all packed inside) or each file
 separately.

 Mi linux and phone development knowledge is close tu null. So please
 excuse me if I am just writing obvious things.

 The individual files that this phone upgrading thingy loads and
 burns into the phone need to be loaded under the following titles:

 Kernel, root FS, Program FS, User Data FS,  User Local, Tat, Grps2121,
 patch, SysParm_Ind, SysParm_Dep.

 OR else I just select a huge BIN file wich seems to have inside 7
 files packed in it, that get stuffed (it takes 30 minutes) into the
 phone.

 Can anyone tell me if they recognize any useful information from
 this ? Is there a way I can install android on this phone ? What kind
 of info is needed (I can search!) ... anyone is willing to help
 me ? :)  Is this the correct group ?

 Regards,

 Enrique.

Here is one way of doing it.

Create an Activity - lets call it MyDialog. If you want it look like a
Dialog, add android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Dialog to your
activity tab in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Send periodic Intents from your service class using code something
like

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyDialog.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// you can add Extras to your Intent if needed
startActivity(i);

 The problem I'm having is getting the progress bar to update as the

 bar to be half way filled.
 I can see that the trick is to use some sort of sleeping thread that
 wakes up and then performs the ProgressBar.setProgress

 threading code.
 Would someone please take a look at a simple version of my code that

[android-beginners] Re: Keypad helpers

2009-08-13 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

My comments were based on device behavior (ADP1 and Google ION).

You are right, the emulator does not reflect it, at least not to my
knowledge :)

   Hi all.

   I have an EditText widget which is described as follows:

   EditText
                   android:id=@+id/xcord
                   android:numeric=decimal
                   android:layout_width=fill_parent
                   android:layout_height=wrap_content
                   /

   When my EditText receives focus, the keypad helper pops up (in my
   emulator). Then when a button is clicked, I do stuff with the value
   (in this case, I just display the value in a Toast). However the
   keypad helper remains there and doesn't disappear, obscuring the main
   part of the screen. How do I make the helper go away once I know the
   user has finished typing?

   Many thanks.

[android-beginners] Re: How can I use methods from an activity in other activities

2009-08-12 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

Hamed3d,

Nowhere in your code that you pasted do you have the final field
hsudoku. If you mean htest instead of hsudoku, then you have not
instantiated htest in the code you have pasted. If you create public
static methods, it would work.

 Basically, I have two different Activities, one of them has 2 member
 functions which I want to use them in other activities.

 so here in Splash class activity, I referenced to Htest class:

 private final Htest htest;
 htest.setNoTitle();

 but I get this error: The blank final field hsudoku may not have been
 initialized

 Please look at the following code and u will see what I mean.

 here is the activity which has two member functions

 public class Htest extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

   �...@override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

         setNoTitle();     //no Title
         setFullscreen(); //Full screen

         setContentView(R.layout.main);

         }

     }

     public void setFullscreen() {

        getWindow().setFlags
 (WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
     }

     public void setNoTitle() {
         requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
     }

 }

 now here is another activity which I want to reference to those member
 functions

 public class Splash extends Activity {

        private final Htest htest; //reference to Htest class

        private Splash_view splashview;

        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        htest.setNoTitle(); // this gives me this error:  The blank
 final field hsudoku may not have been initialized

         //splashview

         splashview = new Splash_view(this);
         setContentView(splashview);
         splashview.requestFocus();

 }

[android-beginners] Re: App crashes when creating UI

2009-08-12 Thread Balwinder Kaur (T-Mobile USA)

What are you trying to accomplish here? If you are trying to create a
UI for your Main Activity, there is really no need to create another
Activity (BasicUI). I suggest you stick with the standard Android App
programming paradigm and create one Activity for each User focused
activity that you perceive.

If you are trying to do something else, kindly provide more details.

adb logcat would be the right place to start looking for crashes.

You could start with some examples. The ApiDemos are useful

 Hi there. I'm just starting out with android and have two questions:

 1) I'm trying to invoke a UI using the following method:

 public class Main extends Activity {
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

         new BasicUI( ).myView( );
     }

 }

 public class BasicUI extends Activity {
         public void myView( ) {
             setContentView(R.layout.main);
             // etc...
     }

 }

 but it crashes with: Application has stopped unexpectedly. What am I
 doing wrong?

 2) How do I debug problems like this. I've tried the adb logcat but
 there weren't any standard Java stack traces from the app crash. I
 guess android does something different, what should I be doing or
 looking for?
