[android-beginners] Can any Android Phones operate without a battery?

[Richard]

I need to do some tests to measure the power management of android
phones under different loads as part of a summer project at my
university. I know that laptops allow you to operate them without
batteries, which makes inserting measuring equipment into the circuit
easy because you just need to splice the power supply. Does anyone
know whether or not any Android phones behave in this manner?

I am specifically interested in knowing about the Nexus One (as that
is what the professor whose lab I am in might be ordering), although
information on whether or not any other Android phones can run without
their batteries is welcome as well. Which phones are ordered will
partially depend on whether or not this is possible.

[android-beginners] Reusing views/code-

[Richard]

I have an ImageButton in the layout of several of my Activities that
launches an "information" dialog.

At the moment I'm adding the (almost the) same the ImageButton XML and
(almost the) same onClickListener java code to every Activity that
needs it.  In each activity I'm giving the ImageButton a different id
so that I can reference it.

This seems like poor design because the code is essentially the same
across all activities and I don't get to take advantage of code-reuse.

Is there a smarter way to reuse a view in the layout of several
different activities?

[android-beginners] disabling GMail access ... changing GMail password doesn't

[Richard Schilling]

I have GMail synched up with my Android.  When I change my password in
GMail, how come the Android continues to get access?

How do I tell GMail to stop giving my Android access to my GMail
account without using the Android phone ... that is, log into
mail.google.com on the website and tell GMail to stop giving access to
Android without changing settings on the Android phone?

It would make sense to do so in case someone steals my Android
phone .

Thanks.

Richard

[android-beginners] Prevent uninstallation of app?

[Richard Roe]

Hey,

  I'm trying to make it so an app is uninstallable by anyone
except for the user who installed it in the first place.  Is there any
way to password protect it, or give the app higher security settings
in order to prevent unauthorized uninstallation?

Thanks.

[android-beginners] Re: Iphone development versus Android

[Richard Schilling]

It's valuable to work on both phones.  Who knows - it could end up
getting you a nice job!

But, I would start with Android first, for two main reasons:

1. Android does really well with the Java platform, and it's much more
forgiving than Objective C (iPhone's language).  You can always
develop native C modules for Android as well if that's your thing.
2. Publishing application on the iPhone store is really cumbersome.
Google breaks all the barriers here.

Hope that helps.

[android-beginners] Re: Creating a Webview progress bar

[Richard]

I received a message that solved things for me:

activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);

Change to:

activity.setProgress(progress * 100);

The setProgress range is 0 -> 1, therefore the sample on Android
web site is incorrect by multiplying input (0 - 100) by 1000 instead
of 100.

[android-beginners] Creating a Webview progress bar

[Richard]

Hi All-

Newbie here and I'm trying to create a webview with a progress bar
that updates while the page is loading.  I started with the code in
the webview javadoc which seems pretty straightforward but I don't
actually see the progress bar as the page loads.  Can someone point me
in the right direction?

public class WebViewTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Let's display the progress in the activity title bar, like
the
// browser app does.
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

final Activity activity = this;
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
  public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
// Activities and WebViews measure progress with different
scales.
// The progress meter will automatically disappear when we
reach 100%
activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);
  }
});

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
  public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,
String description, String failingUrl) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Oh no! " + description,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
});

webview.loadUrl("http://cnn.com/";);

}
}

[android-beginners] Re: webview load set progress bar

[Richard]

I'm following the Android docs example for a webview progress too.

My code compiles and runs, but I don't actually see the progress bar.
I confirmed that the onProgress method was firing (via debug).  Can
someone point me down the right path?

public class WebViewTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Let's display the progress in the activity title bar, like
the
// browser app does.
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

final Activity activity = this;
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
  public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
// Activities and WebViews measure progress with different
scales.
// The progress meter will automatically disappear when we
reach 100%
activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);
  }
});

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
  public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,
String description, String failingUrl) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Oh no! " + description,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
});

webview.loadUrl("http://yahoo.com/";);


setContentView(webview);
}
}

[android-beginners] Re: webview load set progress bar

[Richard]

I can't seem to get the progress bar example in the Android docs to
work.  Here's what I have, but I don't actually see the progress bar:

public class WebViewTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Let's display the progress in the activity title bar, like
the
// browser app does.
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);


WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);

getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS,
Window.PROGRESS_VISIBILITY_ON);

webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

final Activity activity = this;
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
  public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
// Activities and WebViews measure progress with different
scales.
// The progress meter will automatically disappear when we
reach 100%
activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);
  }
});

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
ProgressDialog MyDialog;

  public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode,
String description, String failingUrl) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Oh no! " + description,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }

});

webview.loadUrl("http://cnn.com/";);

}
}

[android-beginners] Re: building GUIs (manually? or with some tool?)

[Richard Leggett]

I noticed your post wasn't very old, but I've been using the interface
builder which comes with the Android plugin for Eclipse, have you
installed the plugin? Also as with any XML-based UI I think a mixture
of using the GUI and handcoding works best.

[android-beginners] headphone intent receiving

[Richard Thompson]

Hi there,

I've been working on an application to detect when the headset is plugged
in.  My application can successfully receive broadcast intents such as
airplane mode but when I plug my headphones in nothing happens with my app.
If I triger the headset plugged intent in another app then my application
runs correctly.  My phone is also aware of the headset being plugged and
unplugged in 99.% of the time.

Does anybody have any ideas.  Are there any permissions I'm missing?  How
would I go about debugging the problem?

Thanks for the help

[android-beginners] AnalogClock - how do i set it to show 18:50 in my app and never change?

[Richard]

Hi

I would like to show an Analog clock in my android app and set it to a
specific time, say 18:50 and never change.
I have created an AnalogClock view and added it to the activity but it
only ever shows the current time and I can't find a function call
change it to the time I want. Is it even possible?

I would have assumed that it would be something like below but these
functions dont exist (or work that wat).

AnalogClock clock = (AnalogClock)findViewById(R.id.clock);

clock.setHour(18);
clock.setMinute(50);

or

clock.setTime("18:50");

or even

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
Date myDateTime = df.format("18:50");

clock.setTime(myDateTime);

Am I barking up the wrong tree by trying to use the AnalogClock view
for something is not designed to do? If so is there a different way to
achieve what I want?

I guess I would need to extend the AnalogClock class to make it show a
specific time of my choosing. Problem is I wouldnt know where to
start.

I feel like I have missed something stupidly obvious but I have been
looking at it so long I cant see it :-)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Richard

[android-beginners] Re: start

[Richard Schilling]

I own the book you mention - an excellent place to start:
"Professional Android Appliation Development" by Reto Meier

Also watch Android videos on the developer site and YouTube, and
search for Google/IO (the conference) sessions.

The Android platform is unique in that from an application
perspective, it could be considered a "hybrid" crossing between a
standard desktop computing environment and an embedded device.  You
can't program it like you would a desktop computer, but if you follow
development "The Android Way" and pay attention to the constraints and
system design of the platform, there's a really stable and powerful
platform to take advantage of.

Oh, and look at the API online weekly for changes.

The Android crew are doing a crack job at development and keeping
things updated.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Richard

[android-beginners] where is http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/....

[richard]

When I google the android-related articles, I always found the links
like http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/, however,
when I clicked them and it always reported me that the page is gone.

When I typed "http://code.google.com/android"; directly, it will be
redirected into "http://code.google.com/intl/zh-TW/android/";, but I
appended "reference" and it still reported me a similar error message
(The requested URL /intl/zh-TW/android/reference was not found on this
server.).

Is there anyone can help me to find these pages?
Thanks in advance.

[android-beginners] Speeding up startup of Android Emulator

[Richard]

Hi,

What options would I supply such that the Emulator takes less time to
start up (normally takes 2-3 minutes). What is it doing in this 2-3
minutes ?

Thanks,
Richard

[android-beginners] Re: Install Google Android SDK on Ubuntu

[Richard Brunelle]

You can use your favorite text editor to edit these text files.  Personally,
I use vi.  In order to figure out how to use vi (if you would like to use
this editor), from your command line you could enter:
# man vi
This command will give you the 'man' page for the vi application (manual
page).

Execute the following command from your command line:

# vi ~/.bash_profile
This will open up a vi session with the .bash_profile file opened up for
modification.
The ~ in the above command is just a shorthand way of specifying your user
account's home directory.

Once inside vi, make the change described, and save the file.  Without
having to logout and log back in (when you login and the bash shell is
started, the ~/.bash_profile file is read), execute the following from the
command line:

# source ~/.bash_profile

Voila!  You should be good to venture further down the path now

Welcome to the dark side =)

~
