I've been thinking about the problem for a few days now and my opinion is that initial load data should come from an online web services source, not packaged in the assets. This allows developers the option of updating their database without releasing a new version of their app. And you have to remember that users will always have a network connection when they are installing from the Marketplace, so we should take advantage of that. Now that wireless companies are moving to metered data plans, I would be very annoyed if I found that the initial install of an app required a network connection to download an undetermined amount of data. If anyone does this, they should make sure that they tell the user how much data is going to get downloaded. That way, if they are at the limit of their plan (Like the ATT $15/mo + $15 per 250MB over the initial 250), they can defer the data download until they get somewhere with WiFi... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Persisting Images - Design Query
Hi guys, I'm new enough to Android development and am still getting to grips with the framework. I'm building a simple application that will display some products where each product will have a name, description and an image. I'm using SQLite to persist the product data and have found that pretty straight forward so far. My question is around design and finding the best practice to solve my problem. My question is as follows... Where should I store the images (.png files) that are shipped with the application? Given my basic knowledge I see a couple of options here 1. Store them in the res/drawable folder and access them as standard resources e.g. R.drawable.image_name 2. Store them in the res/asset folder and access them using an InputStream. This way I could store a URI in the database for each image pointing to the file in the asset directory. These approaches are fine if the data remains static, however we want to add functionality where we will download new product data to the device from the web. When we download this data we can persist the name and description part in the database (no problems here) but I'm not sure what to do with the images. We cannot add these new images to the asset directory with the existing images as the asset directory cannot be written to at runtime. As far as I am concerned I have two options here 1. Use the MEDIA content provider to persist the image on the device internal data store and store the image URI in the database to identify the path to an image. OR 2. Create a folder on the file system and write my new image files to this folder. Then store the file path in the product database to identify an image (Not 100% sure this is possible, can someone please confirm) The problem with both these approaches is that there is an inconsistency between how my initial product images are stored and how the downloaded image updates are stored. This seems like poor design, to have your initial images in one place (res/asset) and your downloaded image updates persisted using the MEDIA content provder. I need advice on how best to approach this in terms of good clean design and best practice. I dont need specific code examples as I can figure out the implmentation myself once I've discovered what approach to take. Apologies for the long post but I've been looking at this for a few days now and have been doing quite a bit of head scratching. I'd like to start my Andorid development off using best practices so I was hoping some of the more experienced guys could assist.

The problem with just using a db created on your desktop (as opposed to pulling one off the emulator) is trusting the endianness of your pc is the same as the target device, and the db versions match.

Note that your technique should also work for SQLite databases created outside of the emulator. So long as you are running the same major release of SQLite, the file format will be the same. Hence, if you want to use some desktop tools to create the SQLite file you are baking into your APK as a raw resource, that should be fine. Also, bear in mind that you are now taking up ~1.5 times the amount of on-board flash space -- you have your full-size uncompressed copy, plus the original compressed one. There is no way to get rid of the raw resource after you are done with it. For small databases, this is not an issue, but I would not pack a large database in this way (e.g., 15MB).

[android-beginners] Re: Your location cannot be determined
I just did this, and it worked for me. Start emulator Start ddms Go to Emulator Control tab in DDMS Click the emulator-5554 in DDMS's left pane Go into Maps app on emulator Go to Menu / My Location In DDMS in the right pane, under Location Controls, ensure Manual tab is selected, and hit Send The map in the emulator should go to Google HQ in Mountain View, CA Using DDMS to send coords is how I test my gps listener for my app -- seems to work fine.

[android-beginners] Setting an Android Icon in Menu XML
How do you specify an Android icon in xml? I'm trying to make a menu with an Add button using the stock Android Add icon, like so: item android:id=@+id/menu_add android:title=Add android:icon=@drawable/ic_menu_add / // Doesn't work. android:icon=@drawable/android.R.drawable.ic_menu_add / // Also doesn't work. android:icon=@android.R.drawable/ic_menu_add / // Also doesn't work. As you can see, I'm not sure how to re-use the android Add icon in my xml (without copying it pasting it in my app, or setting it programatically I suppose) I know the icon exists, as I can do this on a dialog: .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_add) Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Setting Single Choice Dialog Checked Item
Excellent -- I have the same value for mlistView's mId in the
onPrepareDialog().
fwiw, I'm not casting to an AlertDialog, just the ListView:
ListView lv = (ListView) d.findViewById(16908667);
Pretty hacky, I'm not sure I want to ship this magic number, but
that's a ways off.
I'm new to Android dev but not device dev itself, and know things can
get a bit on-the-edge. Is this a fairly common way to make an Android
app -- set breakpoints, drill through structures, and use IDs you find
there? A part of me is fine with that approach, but not if the magic
numbers break on each device or sdk revision...
On Mar 28, 1:15 pm, Glen Humphrey glendon.humphr...@gmail.com wrote:
I set a breakpoint in onPrepareDialog and looked at the dialog object.
It contained a field called mAlert which contained a listview called
mListVIew
and that listview had a field called mId which had a value of
16908667.
I then tried using that value in the findViewById method. It didn't
work
though until I cast the dialog as an AlertDialog.

Actually what worked was to move the code to the TabActivity class,

binding it on the TabActivity class does.

[android-beginners] startService works, but bindService fails?
What am I missing? I've been working through the Local Service
Binding API sample for my own local service, but only partial luck.
startService works, but bindService doesn't. Is there some manifest
flag I need to set? Some idl I need to create?
This works:
startService(new Intent(Me.this, MyService.class));
-- the service starts
This does't work:
ServiceConnection mConn = new ServiceConnection()
{ ...}
bindService(new Intent(Me.this, MyService.class), mConn,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
LogCat says:
Binding with unknown activity: android.os.binderpr...@43535e18
Setting the flag to 0 in the bindService also does not work (even if
the service successfully started with a call to startService), the
same LogCat message is displayed.
The bindService call fails if called either before or after
startService (I have two buttons, one calls startService, the other
calls bindService).
The MyService class is nearly identical to the LocalService sample
class, only changes are the class names for my project.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can actually by an unlocked Tmobile Android G1 phone from the US but the shipping is just way too much. I myself is living in Ontario Canada and I'm just waiting for my friend to buy it in the states. Other than that, you can wait till the first quarter in 2009 and _maybe_ there will be a release in Canada (I really hope so). I'm currently up in Vancouver on vacation from California with my unlocked G1. I took it down to the local mall to see if I can get a pre-pay plan that does data, and I was basically told that I'd have to sign up for a contract plan on Rogers, so it sounds like your scenario above applies. One of the employees at the store volunteered his SIM card to see if the phone's data capabilities could be tested, but it didn't work. I'm guessing I would need to enter in the Rogers APN information into the phone before data will start working. For what it's worth, T-Mo's data roaming is not working here either, the only way I'm getting data service at the moment is WiFi.

My Mac says my phone is formatted with FAT16, and both my Mac and my Linux box says that the card is formatted without a MS-DOS partition table, i.e. it mounts as /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdc1 (first partition on sdc) in Linux, and as /dev/disk3 (whole drive) on the Mac.

[android-beginners] Re: How to get a G1 whithout a suscription plan?
Please don't crosspost like this... at least wait a day or two if you don't get an answer to your first post. On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 11:37 AM, Juan David Trujillo C. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don´t live in the US, but I would like to get a G1. Is it possible somehow to buy a G1 without a suscription plan, and just pay for the device? I´ve read that you have to pay a 2 year suscription, is that right? No. I paid outright for my G1, and got the IEMI unlock code about two days after I got the phone and called T-Mo and asked for it. I'm currently on a month-to-month T-Mo plan, so that smoothed a lot over. I don't know what would happen if you walked into a store (that actually had a phone) and tried to buy it outright. Worse comes to worse, you could set up a FlexPay plan and then just forget about it. After you got your GSM unlock code of course.

[android-beginners] question about layout.xml and View class
reposted here from the android developers group because this is a
beginner question; sorry about the duplication
I got a simple layout working and displaying by only editing the
layout xml. Basically it was the layout below without my BoardView in
there. Now I'm trying to write my own View class to handle various
onFoo() events, using LunarLander as an example. Here's my simple
layout and class:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=vertical
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
com.my.package.BoardView
android:id=@+id/board
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent/
TextView android:id=@+id/TopText
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:text=play area
/
LinearLayout android:id=@+id/rowButtons
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
Button android:id=@+id/btnPlay
android:text=Play
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content /
Button android:id=@+id/btnInfo
android:text=Info
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content /
Button android:id=@+id/btnSetup
android:text=Setup
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content /
/LinearLayout
TextView android:id=@+id/InfoText
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:text=screen size:
/
/LinearLayout
public class BoardView extends SurfaceView {
public BoardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
TextView info = (TextView)
findViewById(R.id.InfoText);
//info.setText(width : + w + , height : + h);
}
}
When I first ran it, it blew up with a NPE in onSizeChanged. So at
least I knew it was getting there. I commented out the info.setText
line and it ran fine, but the view is blank on the screen. Why are
the various TextViews and buttons not visible? I couldn't find any
guidelines in the docs as to how/where to place your View class in the
layout.xml.
