[android-beginners] Rado's Colorthon Tutorial Now Available on YouTube
Hi All, I just finished my fourth video, of the Colorthon Video Tutorial. It's a basic tutorial that explains how you can set shared preferences and layout manipulation. This will enable you to allow the users of your application to customize the look and feel of the application. In this instance it's the colors. It allows users to pick from 64 different collors on six different settings. There are 4, 10 minute video in the series. The source code I will be putting on my web site, radiolistenersElectricEasel.com, as soon as I get a chance to. This is my way of giving back to the community. Feedback is always appreciated, radioliste...@radiolistenerselectriceasel.com The YouTube link is: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A4FF04A11E7C4FE5 And they will also be embedded into my web site where I'll put the source code, under Apache License.

[android-beginners] Graphing in Android
Hi All, I'm just starting out with Android. I got an idea for an application for diabetics to log their blood levels, diet, and exercise. To that end, I want to incorporate a graph, that, at the access points, allows a user to drill down to different types of custom documents showing the detail associated with the given point on the graph. The type of graph I'm trying to create is very similar to what's available in Google Analytics. Is there something in the API that is designed for custom graphing. Any insights would be appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: Graphing in Android
Many Thanks Mark! I got much work to do before I require the graphing. I'll see if at that time if somebody has produced a library, otherwise I'll try to create one. Still getting my sea legs, but I wanted to start out with the graph, instead, I'll start out with the data structures and the lists. Thanks Again, John.

[android-beginners] Videos of NotePad Tutorial
Hi All, I'm new to Android. I've been working on the NotePad Tutorial in the Getting Started part of this site. It is an awesome tutorial, however, I missed that it didn't have accompanying video. So, after successfully going through the examples of the tutorial, I decided to try and provide a video series. To that end, I've created two videos so far covering parts of Exercise 1 of the tutorial and there will be more to follow over the weekend. If anybody could take the time to give it a look and let me know if the video are helpful, it would be appreciated. The videos are available on my site at : http://radiolistenerselectriceasel.com/Tutorials/AndroidNotePadTutorial1/tabid/65/Default.aspx or if you prefer to watch them from YouTube itself, just do a search on Radiolistener.

[android-beginners] Re: help getting started
Hi Curtis, I downloaded Eclipse first, Ganymede(3.4). Then installed the java, latest one. Of note, I put Eclipse in the Public directory, in it's own subdirectory. The java I accepted the defaults. Then I wrote a simple binary tree example. Then I installed the Android developer kit. In order to install Java, I installed it as an Administrator, under Administrator Permissions. As to the Eclipse, I found it required several modifications of Eclipse.ini, to handle the different applications. With the Android developer kit, you must insure that you have the same workspace as the installation. There are probably workarounds on this. All of these worked well running under user permissions, until they began banging against the firewall. It caused several freeze ups, finally, I made my developer log-on an Administrator. So, it does work under Vista, it just takes adjustments and knowing how to do it. The only real issue I'm noticing, is that it puts extra load on my graphics, and when I work with it to create screen captures of Eclipse, the video is behind the audio. I hope you find something in this post helpful. The biggest recommendation is that you get Eclipse fully operational, and then install the Android libraries.

[android-beginners] Re: notepad tutorial problem with Input configuration changed
Hi ThisNameAgain, I don't have a G1 yet, so I can't say I've tried it. But I've done a lot with the Notepad example. If you are on Exercise2, you may want to forge ahead to exercise3 and see if that solves it. With exercise 2 it is hobbled, in that it can not save state if it loses focus. With exercise 3, it has the ability to save state, and is a much more powerful application. I have completed exercise1 and exercise2 in video representation on my site and I am now doing the Ground work on exercise3. That's my best advice I can give, hopefully it proves helpful. Best of Luck, John. http://radiolistenersElectricEasel.com On Dec 12, 7:21 am, thisnameagain wrote: > When switching from portrait to landscape view when you are creating a > new note, i.e. revealing the keyboard, causes the application to > unexpectedly stop.

[android-beginners] Released Radio's Diabetes Companion, Early Alpha to Marketplace
Hi All, The Diabetes Companion Program that I've been discussing is now in a Preliminary release on the market place. It isn't the entire package, rather just the module for Blood Levels or Blood readings. If anybody has the chance to look at it, it would be appreciated. It's in the Applications->Lifestyle part of the MarketPlace and can also be found by doing a search on Radiolistener. It is a combination of the code I studied while doing the videos for the NotePad example on YouTube and my studies of the dialogs. To see how it works, there is an explanatory video on YouTube. These can also be found via a search on YouTube for Radiolistener. Any insights would be appreciated.

[android-beginners] Radio's Diabetes Companion Alpha 2 released at the Android MarketPlace
Hi All, I released my second Alpha version of RDC. In this version there is the ability to export the data into .csv on the memory card. Allowing you to then mount the card and see your data in any spreadsheet program. There is also sorting of the main list. You can sort on either the date/time or the blood level. To achieve this I created a series of graphics for the different possible sorting states.There is also now an icon for the program. If you get a chance to download it and give me some feedback, it would be appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: Can i develop on Windows OS?
I develop under windows vista ultimate. The only thing I've noticed is that when you are publishing an application, you need a command line running under administrator. to do this, make a .bat file on your desktop, in the .bat file, just cmd. The purpose of it is, when you run it, do it with a right click, and pick "Run as Administrator", you'll get the UAC prompt, and then you can do all the packaging settings to publish.

[android-beginners] Re: Mix of autocomplete and list
I've done sorting buttons, those are just order by clauses populating the cursar, in the data provider. If you combine one of those on a text field, then have a two parameter query in your cursor creator. Trap each keypress, then requery. Not sure what that much overhead would do with large record sizes. You'll have to use wildcards, you'll have to look that up, haven't done it yet in sqlLite. HTH, John aka Radiolistener.

[android-beginners] Re: Porting to New hardware(Mobile device)
I'm kinda wondering this myself. My current app is very centered around the G1, that I have available. I'm wondering how well it would port to "Magic", especially with the on-screen keyboard. But I don't even know if Magic is available in the States. Although I've seen "Magic" skins for the emulator, I think it's over at AndroidGuys.com. HTH, John aka Radiolistener.

[android-beginners] Re: Scroll in ListView
If you set x,y to 0,0 you will go to the top of your scroll, not the top of your main view. I've been doing a lot with scrolls, because I'm working with some low resolution stuff. If you need to roll it to the top, 0,0 will do the trick. If you need to pick an individual item, you should experiment with the y variable as some sort of multiple of the entry size.
