Re: [android-beginners] Re: Any existed support for ZigBee module?

[Pedro E. Cunha Brigatto]

Hi, guys.

I am currently searching for any news about ZigBee support on Android, and
unfortunately got no answers 'til now.
Does anyone have any update about it or a link for me to speed up my
searches?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Re: [android-beginners] Lanunch an application at the time of Start up

[Dirk Jäckel]

Hi!

You can launch a service at boot time.

You need the permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED and a BroadcastReceiver
that listens to  ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.

In Your AndroidManifest you need the following:


 



 

In your BroadcastReceiver you need to override:

public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent)

Inside onReceive() you can start your service.

1. XML resources are converted into a "binary XML" format as part of
the build process.

2. XML resources are not raw resources.

Use getXml(), not getRawResource().

I can't imagine this would change anytime soon, if at all. I've never found
this to be that big of a deal personally. Granted, it's annoying when you
have to change the default value, but my suggestion for using resources
should solve that.

Those are big assumptions about what will or will not happen.

Seems like overkill. Assuming you're in Activity:
InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.xml.preferences);

That's it.

I have a problem with linecache.  There's no tag for it.  I couldn't
create one.  I did go ahead and choose other tags, ones not as
relevant as the ONE I wanted.  But whatever.

It's a stupid restriction.  1500 reputation before I can even properly
tag my question?  I've developed sites that used tags plenty of times
before.. it's just a join table, not a huge deal.  For them to act
like tags are so important n00bs like me can't create one?  Fuck them
and their 1500 reputation tags.

I've never once got help from there.  I tried again today as a last
resort.  I'm expecting nothing, as it's likely that's what I'll be
getting.

I haven't done this (yet) but you could probably store your default values
as resources then reference them in the preferences layout and in code as
necessary. Still slightly redundant, but at least then there is only one
place to go modify the default value.

Stackoverflow is much, much too restrictive for my taste, especially
for beginners.  I can't properly tag my own question since I'm a
"stackoverflow" beginner  :(


# users with less than 1500 reputation can't create new tags. The tags

Good luck only tagging questions that already have "popular" tags.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close

[Kostya Vasilyev]

No, calling Thread.sleep() won't work.

Android framework is largely single-threaded, event-driven.

This means that your application and the framework run on the same 
thread, passing control to each other, doing work in small pieces. This 
thread is called the UI thread, and blocking it by calling sleep() can 
do only one thing - cause the "Application Not Responding" dialog to appear.


The right thing to do is call bindService, and return from onResume.

You've done your piece of work (responded to onResume, and requested 
that Android bind a service). Now you need to give Android a chance to 
do its piece of work - by returning from onResume into Android framework 
code, which will start the service (if necessary) and bind it, notifying 
your callback.


Then it's your turn again - once in the ServiceConnection callback, you 
know the service has been bound, and you can talk to the service and 
ultimately populate the UI.


So that's basically the scheme with services.

You might also want to look at ContentProviders. They have a few 
advantages over Services for this case - their lifecycle is managed by 
Android, access is synchronous (using ContentResolver), and they handle 
propagating data changes to existing queries / cursors (so if you have a 
ListView, its data will be "live").

Did you mean that? Now it should wait until the mDatabaseBinder is set
which should be in the onServiceConnected() method but that code
results in an endless loop, mDatabaseBinder stays null. Maybe I got it
wrong how the components work together. As far as I understood it, you
have a service running in the background, which returns a binder in
onBind(). The service connection "fills" the binder
onServiceConnected() so it can be used in the activity to access the
services variables. Is that wrong?

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Starting / binding to a service is asynchronous. You can't call bindService
and expect it to be already started and bound by the next line.

Call bindService and return control to Android by returning from onCreate or
whatever. Your service connection callback will be invoked a little later,
once the service is started.

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for my late answer. :-)

I tried to get it running as a service but I don't really get how I
have to use services, binders and service connections. I'm reading a
book with an example for services but can't adopt it to my problem.
What I tried is the following:

I created one class for the service, which holds the variable for my
database:
__

public class DatabaseService extends Service {

   public DbAdapter mDbAdapter;
   private DatabaseBinder mDatabaseBinder = new DatabaseBinder();

   @Override
   public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
   return mDatabaseBinder;
   }

   @Override
   public void onCreate() {
   super.onCreate();
   mDatabaseBinder.mDatabaseService = this;
   mDbAdapter = new DbAdapter(getApplicationContext());
   mDbAdapter.open();
   }

   @Override
   public void onDestroy() {
   super.onDestroy();
   mDatabaseBinder.mDatabaseService = null;
   mDbAdapter.close();
   }

}

This is my database binder:
__

public class DatabaseBinder extends Binder {

   public DatabaseService mDatabaseService;

   public DbAdapter getDbAdapter() {
   return mDatabaseService.mDbAdapter;
   }

}

And this my service connection:
__

public class DbServiceConnection implements ServiceConnection {

   DatabaseBinder mBinder;

   public DbServiceConnection(DatabaseBinder binder) {
   mBinder = binder;
   }

   @Override
   public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder
binder) {
   mBinder = (DatabaseBinder) binder;
   }

   @Override
   public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
   }

}

If I want to use this in my activity with this:

   private DatabaseBinder mDatabaseBinder;
   private DbServiceConnection mServiceConnection = new
DbServiceConnection(mDatabaseBinder);

   final Intent databaseServiceIntent = new Intent(this,
DatabaseService.class);
   this.bindService(databaseServiceIntent, mServiceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

   mDb = mDatabaseBinder.getDbAdapter();


I'm getting a nullpointer exception at the last line. I don't know if
I'm using it right (I guess not :D ), I haven't used services before.
Do you know why it is throwing a Nullpointer exception? Is this the
right way to use a service and bind it in the activity or should I do
it somehow different?

"." folders are hidden by default, maybe that's why?

But why put your keystore in the .android folder? I'd put it somewhere a
little more under your own control, like in your project's folder.

So just use the wizard?

Yes, but you really don't do this that often.

Cool! I didn't know gmane was accessible through nntp, I though it was

When you use the Export Wizard, it should give you the option to use an

I don't think you can. And I see no reason to do so.
Why do you need to use a different one for debugging?

The problem with Stackoverflow, IMVHO, is that it is a QA site, not a
discussion place. You ask something, someone replies. Hadrly I found
even a simple thread discussing different ways to do something.

Plus, I find it unusable for a casual visitor.  You visit it if you have
a question, search for it, maybe post a request.
But it is hard to browse through a topic, or just read some messages to
discover things you didn't even think where possible.

This list has the right amount of traffic for casual reading during work
pauses.
Android-developers is way too big (1000 messages a day? I end up marking
them all as read)

As for searching info, I prefer Google to Stackoverflow. This way I also

Out of curiosity, why are you exporting with a debug key? You can just run
from Eclipse ...

AFAIK, exporting is for generating a release build. I would not be surprised
if there's something under the hood that's breaking because it's a debug
key.

No idea, but I don't see why not, if you know what you're doing.

How are you exporting?
How are you signing your APK after exporting?

Normally, when you export it's for a production / release build, which
requires a corresponding production / release Maps API key. My money's on
you using a debug Maps API key with your release signing key.

That should be kosher. I suspect there's still something wrong with
your process here -- perhaps signed by both production and debug keys?
I don't know how else to explain your map symptoms.

Re: [android-beginners] SecurityException in AccountManager.get(mContext).getPassword(account);

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Looks like Google has a special process that deals with account 
management. Only this process is allowed to get / set account passwords. 
It's probably also signed with a special key, which is checked by the 
kernel when it's started (guessing here).


If any application was allowed this, think how many web sites would be 
offering Google account passwords - 1,000 for $10.-, and 10,000 for 
$75.- (a 25% discount! only this month!)

Re: [android-beginners] Changing WiFi network login

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Then do it the same way web applications do.

Implement login functionality in your application, and you can check 
credentials. If the app has a web service-based backend, pass some kind 
of login token to the server can track usage.

What do you mean by "from within the SDK"? Do you mean from Eclipse?

If you are signing the APK with a different key (e.g., production
key), you need a different Maps API key to match.

The no-tiles symptom usually means one of the following:

-- you don't have an API key that matches the signing key

-- you don't have the INTERNET permission

-- your device/emulator does not have connectivity to the Internet
(e.g., airplane mode)

-- you are experiencing a tear in the fabric of space-time, and have
not recently looked out the window to notice that the world around you
is now a gray grid, and that in the distance the theme music to The
Twilight Zone is playing softly :-)

Re: [android-beginners] Changing WiFi network login

[Kevin Brooks]

My original question was misleading.  Let's forget the Android device for a
moment.  If a user logs into a computer, his credentials are checked on the
network and he has access the Admin grants to him/her.

So without changing the whole Android System, I need a way to authenticate
the user on the network through my application.

Re: [android-beginners] Changing WiFi network login

[Chris Ross]

  "The other side", as in something beyond the network level, or do you mean 
the authentication used to connect to the WiFi network, via enterprise WPA or 
some such?  If the authentication is done after the WiFi connection is 
established, than the way you asked the original question seems unusual.

  I'd assumed you were talking about per-user authentication to/with the Access 
Point, which is fairly common in enterprise/corporate environments...

If "the other side" requires logging in, perhaps you could track usage

Well, WifiManager has addNetworkConfiguration(),
getConfiguredNetworks(), disconnect(), and so on. It is not out of the
question you can use this for your aims. I do not know what
permissions you need, if any, and I do not know if the API is rich
enough for your needs.

However, I don't see where any of that will do you any good. Most WiFi
access points do not support multiple configurations, one per user,
regardless of what your device expects. Similarly, most households and
businesses do not have one WiFi access point per user. I don't know
where your other accounts are going to come from.

What do you consider a "network login" to be?

A true multi-user Android environment would require substantial
firmware modifications, to the point where it may not resemble Android
anymore.

BTW, since you're one who is decrying the shutdown of this list --
IMHO, this is nowhere remotely near a "beginner" question.

Personally, I would recommend people use StackOverflow.

For those who find StackOverflow to be ineffective, or find the
behavior of volunteers there to be morally reprehensible, or whatever,
use the [android-developers] Google Group. The dividing line between
that group and this one has been extremely blurry over the past 9-12
months.

There are other support resources as well (JavaRanch, anddev.org,
etc.). I do not try to participate in all of them, as I would never
get any sleep. :-)

If this list is discontinued, for the near term, I will be focusing on
StackOverflow and [android-developers], and we will see where things
go from there.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: ATTENTION: Android-Beginners will be permanently disabled on August 9 2010

[Nick Richardson]

I have to agree with the others.  This is a great group, because of the
content as well as the fact that it's a mailing list and therefore can be
easily monitored.  I have received quite a bit of help from this list, as
well as learned a LOT by reading everyone else's questions and answers.  I
also actively read and post to StackOverflow.

I feel disabling this list would be more detrimental then beneficial because
the ease of getting questions distributed would likely be diminished by the
removal of the group.  Plus, the android-developers list, which seems to be
more suited for seasoned developers will likely begin to be flooded by low
level and beginner questions, which may end up being detrimental to that
list as well.

Please consider leaving this list in operation.  If the reasons for
disabling the list are related to overhead in administering it, i would
gladly offer my services in taking over such tasks in order to keep this
group up and running.

Thanks,
//Nick

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
the Java stack trace associated with your "error".

If you create your own custom camera activity, you can control most if not
all of the settings you list.

Subject: [android-beginners] Controlling Camera Settings

Hi,

My app needs to control the camera settings to make over & under- exposed
pictures, amongst other special effects.

Is there a way (and how?) to control the camera's shutter speed, aperture,
pseudo-ISO, ..., etc.

My device is the HTC EVO 4G, so the question applies both to the front a
back facing cameras.

Any pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards

Thanks!

To clarify, though, _Beginning Android 2_ isn't on the Warescription,
per se. _Beginning Android 2_ (published by Apress) is based on _The
Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_, which is in the
Warescription and updated more frequently (though I'm a bit behind on
that specific title).

BTW, if anyone has questions on these books, the [cw-android] Google

Re: [android-beginners] How to populate a ViewFlipper child view with a ListView??

[Justin Anderson]

Where exactly does the NullPointerException occur?  If you aren't sure you
can find this by looking for a "caused by" line in the logcat information
after your app crashes.

Re: [android-beginners] ATTENTION: Android-Beginners will be permanently disabled on August 9 2010

[Justin Anderson]

I have been providing help on this group for well over a year now... The
only reason I am really able to do this is because it is a mailing list... I
get an email for every post on this group and I do my best to answer every
one that I can.

Is there a similar functionality with StackOverflow?  I looked when using
StackOverflow was officially announced on this group but couldn't find
anything.

If this functionality does not exist in StackOverflow then the only way I
will be able to provide help for new users is when I myself have a question
and happen to come across a question I know the answer to while searching
for an answer to my question...

Not that I think the loss of my help is particularly disastrous to the
Android Beginners out there (some would probably say that it is actually a
blessing, really) but I have enjoyed answering questions and I don't feel I
will be able to provide the same level of help on StackOverflow.

Why is this list getting disabled but the others are not?  Are the others
going to be disabled at some later point?

Thanks,
Justin

Re: [android-beginners] Re: NullPointerException when trying to create TelephonyManager

[Justin Anderson]

*> My code will run right until it gets to creating the telephony manager
instance but will not actually create it and it throws aNullPointerException
(I think).*
What do you mean "I think"?  Have you looked at the logcat info to determine
what the problem may be?  Look specifically for a "caused by" line...
*
> Is there something I'm doing wrong?*
Yes... otherwise you wouldn't get the exception.  :-)

*> Do I have to create a context and call getSystemService(...) with
context.getSystemService(...)?*
Application is a Context... so you don't need to create a new one.  You
should be able to call this method just fine from an Application subclass.

I've never subclassed Application before so I'm not super qualified on the
subject, but what does your application tag in your manifest look like?  I
ask that because the documentation for the Application class (
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Application.html) says
this:

*"Base class for those who need to maintain global application state. You
can provide your own implementation by specifying its name in your
AndroidManifest.xml's  tag, which will cause that class to be
instantiated for you when the process for your application/package is
created."

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
the Java stack trace associated with your "force close".

Ben,

I agree with you about the crying need. From a product roadmap point
of view, this is a really obvious value for many developers. But I
wouldn't jump to a solution too quickly. 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 AT&T $15/mo + $15 per 250MB over the initial 250), they 
can defer the data download until they get somewhere with WiFi...

S3 uses a REST-style interface; the library wrappers are mostly to
assist with authentication and URL construction and such. If the JAR
is too big, fall back to rolling the REST yourself with HttpClient.

Re: [android-beginners] Pre-loading an SQLite database

[Ben Orchard]

But this is still just a hack to solve what shouldn't be an issue at all.  I
understand that there are security concerns and all sorts of other reasons
to be careful with databases, but bluntly put, there's no good reason that
an easy to use and implement method of using a pre-loaded db doesn't exist.
 Apps need data.  Databases are a good (if not perfect) way to store &
access data.  Therefore the methods for doing so should be readily
accessible.  It shouldn't require any extra action on the part of the user,
and it shouldn't require that developers do all sort of contortions to make
it work.  This should be a simple thing.  Including a db as an asset should
make it accessible, and you should be able to do so with less than 5 lines
of code.

I've seen several dictionary apps that include the data in an app that
you download separately. When you download the data app, all it does
is copies the data to SD and then puts up a message saying you can
remove the app.

The process does involve a little extra work from the user the first
time they use your app so it's not perfect, but I've never been
bothered by it.

Re: [android-beginners] Pre-loading an SQLite database

[Ben Orchard]

I've got no ideas, but this is the reason that I pretty much gave up on
android as a platform for me: this activity should be simple.  Instead
accessing a db is difficult, and using a preloaded db results in larger
apps.

Somehow it is easier to use a db in JAVAFREAKINGSCRIPT than in android.
 Jquery makes this so painless, so why does it have to be such a pain in the
backside.  This should be simple!  Yes, some apps will require greater
flexibility than the simple method would allow, but that doesn't mean that
there shouldn't *BE* a simple method.

Get it fixed!

Well, your source code got cut off, so it is difficult to answer.

Somewhere, your Activity is calling setContentView().

Ideally, particularly for this case, setContentView() is passed a
resource ID pointing to a layout resource (e.g., R.layout.main). This
is the layout file that Nick demonstrated and Kostya referred to. That
layout for your whole activity needs to have your Button and your
ListView, wrapped in a RelativeLayout or LinearLayout.

Here is an example project, albeit one with a TextView instead of a
Button above the ListView:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Selection/List/

Here is a variation on that sample project, using a custom ListAdapter:

You didn't answer the question, but I'm going to assume "no" =)

MapView must be used inside a MapActivity. What you do besides that is up to
you.

Don't know about yelp, but pretty much all map-based apps (including my own)
show a small popup directly on the map screen above the icon that was
tapped.

OK. That's perfectly doable with MapActivity. Just add the relevant view
before or after the MapView and deal with it like any other activity.

Although I would question the idea of using half the screen to the left or
right for this. Most phones are held vertically, meaning they're longer from
top to bottom than side-to-side. If you're going to split this narrow space
in half, it's going to look really strange. Splitting the screen vertically
would make more sense IMO.

Is "2" and "3" what the user sees or what you use as the setting in the
background?
It should be the latter.

For example, if you have a font size setting and the user's options are
"Small, Medium, Large" and the corresponding values are 12, 14, 16, the
default value for Medium would be 14, not "Medium".

Well that makes quite the difference =)

I still wonder why a "things-are-progressing" type pop-up would close after
some time and not, you know, when "things-are-done-progressing" ... but it's
your app.

Regardless, I would go with Justin's suggestion to use a Timer.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Launching an "About" screen from Preferences

[Kostya Vasilyev]

The key was having both action and category in the intent filter. Either 
one by itself didn't match the intent.

Mark,

Well, the manifest documentation is pretty sparse so it's not
surprising that it doesn't mention this case. A good example is the
screen of choices that face you when you look at the Application tab
in the manifest editor in Eclipse and click on one of the activities
or services. That calls up a form with about 25 choices, none of which
include an "action", by the way. A document that describes what all
these choices mean would be very helpful. Note that there's a choice
called "clear task on launch", a phrase that you can search in vain
for in the manifest documentation.

It seems like people mostly build projects by copy-paste from other
projects, which is a fine approach as far as it goes but it can grow
into a nightmare if people start propagating unsupported hacks. Then
you have hundreds of apps that break at the same time when a new
release invalidates the hack.

OK, down off my soapbox. The change you suggest below didn't work.
Same exception in logcat. I can think of several approaches to take it
from here:

1) I build a simple test project that illustrates the problem and
submit it as a bug.
2) We decide that this approach is unsupported, in which case I submit
a bug against the documentation.
3) We take another swing at it, recognizing that we are implementing
something that lives on shaky ground, since undocumented behavior can
change at any time.

What do you think?

Your error is:

Notice the "act=com.shipmate.AboutShipMateActivity" part. That says

Ah, but if you remove the spaces, clearTaskOnLaunch is in the docs.

Bingo. That's one of the reasons I've been jumping up and down more
recently when people use undocumented stuff.

In my case, I just figured there was some documentation that I had
missed somewhere.

Try Kostya's sample, perhaps just by adding back in the DEFAULT
category I, um, had you remove. (sorry) I suspect we can get this
working.

That being said, if you keep a roster of "things that might go 'boom'
in future releases" for your apps, add this to the list, since for all
we know they'll dump this feature in favor of some other
implementation (e.g., dedicated IntentPreference class). In fact, if
you wanted to be super-safe, implementing an IntentPreference class
may not be that difficult, and you then aren't dependent on an
undocumented feature.

Re: [android-beginners] Getting Force Close when Service calls activity

[Justin Anderson]

None of that information really helps us figure out the problem... What you
need to do is look at the logcat info when the FC occurs.  There should be a
"caused by" line that will tell you what the problem is, along with the file
and line number.

File an issue on b.android.com, or submit a documentation patch and
see if it gets approved. Or implement the capability using a
documented means -- Kostya's suggestion of
setOnPreferenceClickListener() is probably simplest.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Launching an "About" screen from Preferences

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Ditto - I was also about to suggest this.

Base Preference class is quite complete, it handles drawing the title 
and summary with proper fonts, and has an onClick() method.


Another way - instead of subclassing Preference, add a bit of code with 
setOnPreferenceClickListener.

Re: [android-beginners] read flat file from resources

[Nick Richardson]

If you need to write info to a file, you can simply create a new file and
write to that instead.

So for example: on first run, read info from your resource and write it to a
new file.  On every subsequent run, check to see if the new file exists, and
read/write your data there instead.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: How can my app let people pick a picture that I use as background in my app?

[Justin Anderson]

I figured I would let him figure out Step 5 the hard way  ;-)

Unless you have an absolutely freaking amazing app there is no profit.  I
have an app on the market that I think is pretty cool.  There is a free
version and a donate key for $0.99 that unlocks a few extra features.

I've made about $170 or so since last October...  With the amount of time I
put in to it I think I am making less than a penny per hour.  But I do it
for the fun of programming and because it is an app that I wanted on my
phone and couldn't find any that fully suited my needs...

Indeed it would - I was hoping celluri would pick that part up on his own,
but you had to go and ruin the surprise!! :)
