I use Eclipse as development tool. Here is my hello world code:

import android.os.Bundle;
//import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//TextView tv = new TextView(this);
//tv.setText(Hello, Android);
//setContentView(tv);
}
}
the Hello, Android just didn't show in the emulator screen, why?
I had JDK1.6, SDK2.0, and set the enviroment path and classpath. I don't
understand why can't it show in the emulator.

Hi tinyang,
If you're using eclipse, you can put a debug point at line 42 in
CameraPreview and see what object is null that you're trying to call a
method on.

Oops. :)
I did not look at your lesson. I did however use webview for one of my
first activities I built in Android after sucessfully completing the
helloandroid lesson, and it worked a charm for me. Here is the code which
works fine for me. HTH, Happy coding.
Public class webtest extends Activity (
WebView webview; //declare webview variable
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); //link java code
to xml gui
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); //instantiate new
webviewclient
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); //enable
javascript for this new webviewclient
webview.loadUrl(http://www.google.com/;); //load web address

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Your suggestion actually takes away the point of the HelloWebView tutorial,
in which we are shown how to intercept the actions and have more control
over the view by creating a sub-class of WebViewClient.
Anyways, of course, any input is appreciated, and actually, I do get the
same behavior when using WebViewClient!!! This strikes me as very odd,
because what we're basically doing is replacing default behaviour with
default behavirour, no?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity crash
Hello and thanks for the reply. No, the FieldGuide line that is commented
out does not cause the crash. To the contrary, it actually works properly
when starting that activity in the main app. Below you are looking at the
code that causes the crash (the geotest activity). I had all of the below
code in another application with other activities, and everytime I tried to
start this activity, it would crash. So in an effort to isolate the
problem, I made a new Android project and put only the crashing activity in
it, and it is still crashing (which allows me to rule out the other
activites/code in the main app for causing the problem). I get a
nullpointerexception when trying to start the activity (see logcat output
below). I'm very curious if someone else copy/paste all the code below into
a new project, do they have the same problem?

Hello,
I am a new beginner at Android development. I plan to get the HTC Hero
coming up soon in the next month and I am excited to use Android on the new
mobile device. Anyways, my question I had today was a problem that I've been
encountering a lot lately with the SDK/Eclipse part of Android. A tutorial
named HelloGridView that is located in the user- documentation of the SDK
gives a tutorial on how to make a basic slide- show picture based
application. I follow the instructions, but when I place this line of code:
File to open: HelloGridView java file in SRC
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this)); }
COPY AND PASTED OVER ABOVE LINE OF CODE:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
I get a bunch of underscore red-line errors and I'm not sure about how to go
about fixing them. Without fixing them, I can't use the application in
Eclipse, and so on and so forth. I'm very new at this stuff and I can't seem
to understand why I'm getting these underline- red errors. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Hi everybody,
Have been going through the HelloWebView tutorial. First I did all the
coding my self. Went perfectly fine. Loaded the Google address. Then I added
the code for HelloWebViewClient. As soon as I added the
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); I end up getting nothing
but black in the content area.
After working a bit with it, I reversed everything, and copied the code from
the tutorial. Same behaviour. If I take the aforementioned line of code out,
then it works again.
Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening?
Kind regards,

OK, seeing the picture does help. On the right is the red line errors. On the left is either a folder with a small red/white X icon on it, or just a larger red/white X icon. If you rest your mouse pointer over the red/white icons on the left side, it will pop up a tool tip and give you the error message. If you hit F2, it will make suggestions for fixing your errors. The F2 feature is called quick fix. If the quick fix doesn't work for all of your errors, then note the verbiage of the error and search google or post here for further help.

I very well may be wrong (I am a very new android developer and
haven't done something like this yet), but have you tried removing the
category android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER / line
from the activities you don't want icons for?
I think I read somewhere that the recipe for getting a launchable icon
is to have both the category LAUNCHER and the action MAIN defined in
the intent filter.

Some photo sharing sites can accept picture uploads via email. But I would also think you could just handle this through your website. Maybe make a mobile web page that you could open in a webkit window on the phone, then select the file/picture and upload it through the webpage. -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of jbrohan Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 12:12 PM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Upload picture to my php website Hello I can now use the camera to take and store a picture with the Android.

[android-beginners] Re: Additional Contact Information
Sorry for not being specific enough. I meant to duplicate the code of the existing contacts app and modify it to fit your needs. What you are hitting on here is one of the many wonderful, groundbreaking ideas about Android. Because Android is so Open, 3rd party apps developed by non-google developers are treated exactly the same as apps created by Google. All Android 3rd party apps have access to all the same apis and system resources that the Android Apps created by Google have access to. Android 3rd party apps are treated with the same priority as Android apps created by Google. Then when your modified Contacts app is finished and loaded on your Android phone, you can specify within Android that you want your Contacts app instead of the google contacts app to be used as the default contacts app on the phone through intent receivers. If you choose, you could also remove the default contacts app from the phone after testing yours and making sure it works properly. In comparison, the iPhone for example, it has 3rd party apps, but these 3rd party apps are hobbled in the manner of they are sandboxed away from many of the system resources and apis that are available to Apple developer iPhone apps. They are also treated with a lower priority than the Apple developer iPhone apps. I hope this helps make it clearer. -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of King of Camelot Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 6:31 AM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Re: Additional Contact Information Sorry, could you be a bit more specific? By 'modify the current contacts app' do you mean duplicate the code in my application? If so, that sounds kind of like option three. If you mean modify the contacts app by itself, then I'm not sure how this would work in the case of my application. I'm under the assumption that the application which users will download comes as a single APK, and as such couldn't really modify the contacts app, unless it re-directed it to the APK for my application? Unless I'm missing something? Thanks! Sorry if I'm missing something.

New to Android, so I'm just trying to get a grasp of what's possible for an application and what's not. Let's say for example I wanted to add a 'Favorite Food Type' drop-down box to the contact view UI. This way when you add new contacts, or modify old ones, you can select a favorite food type for that individual, that the application I'm making would then use to display all individuals who like the food type you're currently craving. (Just an example application) And just to clarify, by the contact view UI, I mean the interface you see when you go to contacts and select an individual. In other words, the screen that lets you modify their contact information. Now, would it be possible for an application to insert this drop-down box into the default contact view UI? Or would the application need to show all contacts itself and force the user to do the food type selections in the application? The first options is preferable. If that isn't possible, there's also a third potential option where the application overrides the default contact view UI with it's own. Anybody know which of these is possible, and how to implement?

using the entire screen for the preview, I would like to put it inside a

Modify the contacts database to add a field for your fav food, link it to your spinner, and you're good to go. -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of King of Camelot Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 12:52 PM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Additional Contact Information Hi all. New to Android, so I'm just trying to get a grasp of what's possible for an application and what's not. Let's say for example I wanted to add a 'Favorite Food Type' drop-down box to the contact view UI. This way when you add new contacts, or modify old ones, you can select a favorite food type for that individual, that the application I'm making would then use to display all individuals who like the food type you're currently craving. (Just an example application) And just to clarify, by the contact view UI, I mean the interface you see when you go to contacts and select an individual. In other words, the screen that lets you modify their contact information. Now, would it be possible for an application to insert this drop-down box into the default contact view UI? Or would the application need to show all contacts itself and force the user to do the food type selections in the application? The first options is preferable. If that isn't possible, there's also a third potential option where the application overrides the default contact view UI with it's own. Anybody know which of these is possible, and how to implement? (Although the in-application version need not explanation) Thanks! No virus found in this incoming message.

[android-beginners] Re: Android SDK For Beginners?
Hi Azelis and welcome to Android development! :) I'm pretty much new to programming. Android is my first software development experience aside from some relational database stuff I did years ago. I pretty much had to start learning from scratch several months ago. The first recommendation I have for you is to learn Java. I took this free online course: http://www.javapassion.com/javaintro/ I was new to both java and xml, but I found the xml easier to pick up than the java. Your C++ experience will help you learn the java faster I think. I also read this free Android development PDF book: http://andbook.anddev.org/ Which started to fill in a lot of the blanks for me about Android development. And I purchased the Professional Android Application Development paperback after browsing Android coding books at the local book store (so far it's my fav Android coding book). I still have lots more to learn, but I am on my 3rd or 4th app and I'm really enjoying developing for Android. I also made good use of this group, so I encourage you to also. Good luck! -- tinyang -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Azelis DeLano Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 3:22 AM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Android SDK For Beginners? Hello, my name is Zack but I go by Azelis. Introduction's out of the way, let's get down to it. From my history of programming, I know that languages based on other languages only make sense if you have extensive background. For example when I started learning NQC for the Mindstorms Invention System it was recommended that I take some C++ tutorials first. However most of these provided me with information I would never need to know (system speciffic stuff). That brings me to where I find myself. Within a week I will be receiving my G1 and I am very interested in programming for it. I have a great amount of programming experience as follows (in chronological order): AppleSoft Integer Basic QBASIC JavaScript Visual Basic Visual C++ TI89 Basic PHP Linden Scripting Language and recently a bit of ASM Basically, with my use of JS and PHP, I am no stranger to the DOM. However I found even the Hello Android tutorial a little difficult to follow, using data types, methods, models, and terms I was unfamiliar with (not to mention that I've never worked with XML, only style sheets). While I was able to kind of understand what was going on, by the time I got to the notepad example I was completely lost. Let me also qualify that I tried learning Java once before to create website applets (yeah, back in those olden days) and most tutorials I found convered very speciffic information that I really didn't need to know. So given my experience with outside tutorials that are only of peripheral interest to me and the knowledge that Android doesn't use the everyday flavor Java VM, is there a Java for Android for Beginners style reference anywhere? Barring that, is there a tutorial/set of tutorials anyone else who was in my position can recommend? Android may very well be the first place solo programmers like myself have a chance to create mainstream popular mobile applications so if such a reference doesn't exist I may well have to spearhead it. - Azelis the White Wolf No virus found in this incoming message.

[android-beginners] Re: 3 icons for one app
If I do that, I can't get to those activities. I have a main menu screen
with a button for each activity, and the buttons don't work for any activity
in which I remove the intent for from the manifest. If I remove those
intents from the manifest, how else can I make the buttons open my
activities? Here is an example of what I use now:
vwpicbtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.viewpics);
vwpicbtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainMenu.this, ViewPic.class));
}
});
Thank you.

This is a Java question.
You are presumably calling new Intent() from an inner class. Hence, this
represents the instance of the inner class. To reference the this for an
outer class, scope it:
new Intent(MyActivityName.this, SubActivity.class)

Button is a class. Classes do not have return types, methods do.
But what is the correct intent to have for a sub-activity when you
want it to launch on a specific event (such as onClick)?:
intent-filter
category android:name=/android.intent.category.LAUNCHER/ /
/intent-filter
Generally, you do not need an IntentFilter for that situation. Just
reference the class directly when building the Intent you pass to
startActivity():
startActivity(new Intent(this, MyNextActivity.class));

Thanks Mark. So is this similar to how I should start my subActivity?
public class guide extends Activity {
public Button onClick(View guide){
startActivity(new Intent(this, SubActivity.class));
return guidebtn;
};
}
Well, the startActivity() statement seems OK.

I think you need to spend some more time with some tutorials, such as:
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html
1. You have not connected a View.OnClickListener to your Button
2. Your guide class is unused, and probably should not be there, with your
onClick() implementation being moved to the View.OnClickListener you have
not set up
The Notepad tutorial, linked to above, will demonstrate how to use a Button.

But when I take a picture with the emulator and choose 'share' and put in my picasaweb email, the picture appears to send properly from the emulator, but the pic never shows up in my picasa account. I can send a photo from my computer via email to my picasaweb though. Shouldn't the emulator be able to do this? It says at the website below that it can do everything but make and receive actual calls. http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html The Android emulator mimics all of the typical hardware and software features of a typical mobile device, except that it can not receive or place actual phone calls. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Seems questioins here are rarely answered? Better place to post them?
While YMMV, I find all of my questions here get replied to if not fully answered, and my perception is that most questions posted get replies. I find this group a very beneficial place to bring my questions and get feedback. It's very community oriented. :) OTOH, there are many forums on websites also about Android where you can post questions: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=android+forumscts=aq=0oq=android+for um -Original Message- From: android-beginners@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-beginn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of jkk...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:41 PM To: Android Beginners Subject: [android-beginners] Seems questioins here are rarely answered?

[android-beginners] Re: Style Attributes
Thanks for the reply! The reason I asked for an example is because I am
just learning java and I'm not clear on what a construct is. I was hoping I
could visually identify it if the code was posted, but I'm afraid I can't.
So where is the construct?
