[android-beginners] Problems with alarmManager.setRepeating() not triggering subsequent alarms
I am trying to set an alarm to occur every morning at 6:00am. The
first alarm is being triggerred, but the subsequent alarms are not.
Anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?
I am using a service as my PendingIntent, which triggers a
notification.
Here is a code snippet:
private void startservice() {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
Intent contentIntent = new Intent(this,
NotificationService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
contentIntent, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY );
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC,
cal.getTimeInMillis(),
8640, pendingIntent);
}

NoClassDef always points me to think about Classpath, or inconsistencies between packages on your system (perhaps you are running a different version of Android out of eclipse, and linking to a different library package on your system). Maybe not that helpful, but something I was thinking about that may point you to examine your system configuration, which is likely the problem (as your code looks simple from what you have posted).

[android-beginners] Re: How do i run the emulator?
At a minimum, you will need to download the SDK, and install it on your system. (Which includes making sure everything is properly configured in your path) Then, you can issue the following command on at any command prompt: emulator -avd avd name You should have an avd named 'G1', I think it comes standard with the SDK, otherwise, you will need to create an AVD for the emulator to use.

[android-beginners] Re: Developing on a G2.
I did a little development on the G2 Lack of a physical keyboard was a problem for some of the tools (like putting the phone in Recovery Mode, etc). Otherwise, for the most part there weren't any significant roadblocks (the SDK works the same on both the G1 and the G2 - ie. the APIs are all the same). I think the problems caused by lack of a physical keyboard will be quickly resolved (but were significant for me). There were already some tools available that support the virtual keyboard (ie. Terminal apps, etc), it just requires working a little harder to find the ones that will work. As Disconnect mentioned, I don't believe that there is a Dev version of the G2 out yet, but if you are just wanting to use your consumer grade phone for development, it should work.

[android-beginners] Problem: Holding the Home button, and powering on the device doesn't send me into recovery mode.
Trying to apply a manual update to my phone, and can't get the phone to go into recovery mode. I have tried all sorts of permutations of holding down the power and home buttons on startup (holding them both, holding home, and releasing power, pressing power, then holding both, etc). I have been trying for about an hour. All that happens is I get the G1 flash screen (and the vibrate), and it flashes, then repeats (until I release the buttons at which point it boots normally). I am in the middle of updating the phone, so I can get root. I think I have successfully completed the rooting (I have downgraded to RC29 successfully, and applied the telnet commands). (I think my trouble getting to recovery mode isn't related to my rooting process, but wanted to make full disclosure) I ran through this procedure to manually update to Cupcake a few months ago, and it worked fine. I have no idea why I can't get to recovery more now! Help, I really want to successfully flash some of the latest ROMs (which is why I am going through this in the first place), and obviously can't do this without recovery mode. BTW, I confirmed I do have a Update.zip file in the root of my SDCARD (but suspect that even if I didn't I should still be able to enter recovery mode). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: G2 vs G1
The lack of a physical keyboard was a problem for me on the Magic (some of my applications - like Teminal wouldn't work). There are workarounds, but require some advanced techniques, or downloading alternative applications. The lack of a physical keyboard also made flashing a new ROM more difficult (which may or not be something you chose to do), since there is not way to hit Alt-L or Alt-R during the reboot process. Again, there are workarounds (using Fastboot, etc), but I didn't have success with them. The G1 is not spec'ed as high as the magic (it has less internal memory, and a slower processor). I don't have resource limitations with my G1, but some people might. My personal recommendation would be to get the G1 Dev phone if you can. It will be easy to root, if it doesn't come that way anyway, and has the physical keyboard, which is important for certain applications and activities.

[android-beginners] Re: creating an avd
Eclipse lives entirely in the folder you initially installed it to (meaning the folder you unzipped the download to - in my case it is C: \Eclipse). Your eclipse projects live in a different directory (this is unique to each machine, so there would be no way to tell what it might be on your own machine). To find that directory, look at the Workspace prompt Eclipse gives you when you start it up (or look in project properties). To completely get rid of Eclipse, delete these 2 directories (the Eclipse Workspace dir, and the Eclipse Install dir).. IMHO, I wouldn't use the latest version of Eclipse (the newly released 3.5) for Android dev. Use the previously approved (and thoroughly tested) version (3.4), to eliminate any strangeness you might get from using the latest version.

To be clear, I don't have a dog in this race (I don't work for TMobile, or any other company related to this). Here is a link to the TOS, with specific language restricting modifying devices: (http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/Popup.aspx?

You agree not to misuse the Service or any Device, including: (c) tampering with or modifying your Device; Bottom line, I stand by my substantiated statement that flashing a new OS (which would require bypassing a locked bootloader) would not sit well with TMobile if you bricked your phone (and directly violates the TOS). Likely you would be able to play it off (Gee, I don't know what happened, I accepted the OTA update, and the phone never worked after that).

[android-beginners] Re: Is there any official way to upgrade Android OS?
Bottom line, if you buy a carrier supported phone (I am using my experience with TMobile for this discussion, not sure about Vodaphone), you will not be able to upgrade the phone manually on a regular basis. Most of the upgrades currently have come over the air (OTA). For the cupcake release, there was a manual upgrade procedure available, that wasn't supported by the carrier (read, if anything went wrong, the warranty was likely voided, etc). The Android OS is officially upgradeable (meaning, there likely isn't a 1.5 version phone, that won't be allowed to be updated). So Android will support upgrading to 2.0 (when it officially is released, and supported by your carrier). The only way to be allowed to upgrade your phone manually, would be to buy the phones that are released for developer use (called Android Dev Phone - ADP1 and ADP2). However, they are much more expensive (they are not subsidized by the carrier). If you have either of these phones, you can flash whatever software you want, whenever you want (and also have root access to the deep core of the OS, which is another thing missing from the carrier provided phones). Bottom line, if you absolutely need to upgrade manually, you will need to buy a unlocked phone, at increased expense. Otherwise, you will be only be allowed to upgrade a carrier provided phone, when they officially release the upgrade (at which time, you may be able to speed up the process with a manual procedure, to avoid the wait for an OTA update).

[android-beginners] Re: HTC G1 vs G2
To clear things up, the phone given away at Google IO was the HTC Magic (also named the Ion; and when someone referred to it as the G2 at the fireside chat, the Android guys shivered, and clearly didn't like that moniker for it). That phone is fully unlocked, and rooted. So, it is a true dev phone (I am not sure if we can call it ADP2). I would expect that they will make this phone available to the masses soon (but it will be expensive). The Magic phones given away are showing up on Ebay, if you really want to buy one (but I won't condone this). As far as what type of phone you use for development, it is pretty much up to you. The hardware is not that important to Android development (as long as the hardware meets the minimum requirements, which both the HTC phones do). Pick what phone you would like (biggest difference is one has a keyboard, and the other doesn't). It is also not necessary to have a Dev phone to develop. Getting a locked phone from a carrier (which comes at a subsidized price) will be adequate for most people trying to create apps that will run on the phone.

[android-beginners] Re: Is there any official way to upgrade Android OS?
It should be noted, that the G1 (meaning the TMobile released phone) has a locked boot loader, so I would expect modifying the phone to manually flash a new OS would violate the terms of service. So while it might not officially void the warranty, I am sure TMobile wouldn't be helpful fixing any problems encountered while flashing the phone. There are definitely ways you can manually update the phone, but I think the original poster was trying to determine which ways would be officially supported. I personally wouldn't flash a non-official release to my G1, but jumped at the opportunity to manually update to Cupcake, once the instructions came out early last week (knowing that there was a minimal risk I could brick my phone).

For example, can I do OS upgrade through Android Market? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Having Problems with Layout
You could: - Use a different layout (grid perhaps), which would allow you to define your layout more directly - set specific width values (instead of fill_parent) which would force the layout you want. Not sure what might be happenning with this layout (not able to mess with it at work), but this should get you past your problem.

[android-beginners] Re: Problems with R.java in Eclipse 3.4
Not sure but sounds like you need to add android.jar to the project
classpath (somewhere in Project/properties menu of eclipse).
It's always the classpath. Good Luck.

Hello all
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anything searching for this (maybe I'm
just really bad at searching :))
The issue is the following: I'm trying to write a little app to learn
programming to android devices, but it seems as if my installation of
either Eclipse or the Android SDK is screwed up.
I cannot access any items from my R.java in my 'HelloWorld.java'; and
eclipse refuses to build. But the items are there in R.java (for
example:
public final class R {
[...]
public static final class id {
public static final int btn_clickme=0x7f050001;
public static final int txt_name=0x7f05;
[...]) returns a cannot resolve name when used in findViewById
(R.id.txt_name).
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!

[android-beginners] Google please give us 'su -' was:Re: Am I root?
I can certainly appreciate that the dev phone ships with root access available (and would love my retail one to have that capability). But I can certainly understand why Google would ship with it disabled by default. Let the people, who maybe shouldn't be root in the first place save themselves from a stupid 'rm -Rf' execution. On a side note, I would love if TMob\Google would just implement a 'su -' for the retail phone. It would help me a lot if I could actually just look around (with restrictions) on the whole phone. I can't even 'ls' the data \data and data\app folders on my phone). BTW: To me it seems like a great idea to ship the dev phone with root access.

[android-beginners] Re: sluggishness of G1 android
I was having the same problem. This is likely a memory leak caused by one of the applications you are running (which you could try to figure out using a variety of methods). Simplest way to fix this is to reboot the computer (ie. G1). Easiest way to power-cycle the phone is to hold down the home, and power button together. After a few seconds, the screen will ask you if you want to power down the phone. Select yes. This will fix your sluggishness, but in order to eliminate it (which might be close to impossible if you wish to continue to run applications), you will need to discover what is causing the problem in the first case (which is a whole other discussion).

[android-beginners] Re: Andriod on Sidekick
It shouldn't be lost in the discussion, that Microsoft now owns Danger. So, they certainly don't have an incentive to make porting Android to their device easy (in fact, I would imagine they would prefer it is hard). Doesn't mean it can't be done, just that I wouldn't depend on company(MS - Danger) support to provide much assistance.

USE IT AS A GUIDE! SOME PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT WERE TYPED BY MEMORY SO MISTAKES ARE POSSIBLE! AS USUAL, I WILL NOT BE RESPONCIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM DROP ME A LINE, I'll TRY TO HELP YOU. How to install linux on Danger Hiptop: 1.If you do not have linux desktop, download live linux on cd knoppix from www.knoppix.org, burn it to cd and boot off of this cd. You'll have linux without having to mess with installation and configuration. 2.Get jtag source from the downloads section on my website. 3.Read README file in the jtag directory. It tells what additional libraries are required and where to get them. It also tells how to compile jtag. 4.Run jtag as root. 5.Type cable parallel 0x378 DLC5 6.Type detect this should show S3C44B0x id. 7.Type detectflash this should show info on your flash chip. 8.Type readmem 0 0x3f dangeros.image this should create dangeros.image file in the directory where you've started jtag. Note that complete download of the image may take few hours. Jtag is very slow. SAVE THIS FILE!!! SAVE IT IN MULTIPLE PLACES! YOU'LL NEED IT IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO GO BACK TO DANGER! 9.Download blob.bin from downloads section into directory where you've started jtag. 10.Type flash blob.bin 0 this will flash blob. 11.You can do the same with kernel and ramdisk by downloading binaries and typing flash ramdisk.bin 0xb, flash kernel.bin 0x1 or alternatively you can set up debugging/development environment as explained in the next section. 12.Type cable parallel 0x378 WIGGLER or just disconnect jtag. 13.Do hardware reset - press power button and button under LCD at the same time. 12.To restore danger OS, follow steps 1 through 7 and then type flash 0 dangeros.image. This reflashing will take even longer then downloading image - 10hours or so. How to set debugging/development environment. You've got to flash blob over jtag first! 1.Get a laptop with irda port. Make sure IRDA is enabled in the system boot menu. 2.Download a copy of Knoppix - linux on CD, burn it to CD. Boot from this CD. You'll have a linux running on the laptop without having to deal with installation, configuration etc. 3.Start shell, type minicom. Press simultaneously CTRL A and then press letter O. You should see config menu. Select serial port config, select 38400 baud rate and turn off hardware flow control. In the filename and paths menu type in path to your upload directory - directory keeping ramdisk and kernel images. 4.Align laptop's IRDA port with port on the sidekick. Reset sidekick you should see blob messages showing up on the laptop screen. After loading kernel and ramdisk from flash, blob waits for 10 secs before booting the linux. If you want to stop boot process press any key on the laptop keyboard. 5.To upload kernel, type xdownload kernel, for ramdisk - xdownload ramdisk, for blob - xdownload blob. Press CTRL A simultaneously and then S, select xmodem and then a file to send. Note that, since knoppix loads software from CD, blob may timeout while rxsxz utility is being loaded from CD. Try it again, and see if you can start xmodem transfer quickly after typing xdownload
