If one runs the SDK 0.9 beta sample application API Demos | App |
Dialog | Progress dialog, one finds that turning the emulator view by
pressing key 9 while the progress bar is showing causes that the
progress bar never gets dismissed. Playing with
mProgressDialog.dismiss(); in onDestroy or onResume did not seem to
fix the problem, so I wonder if there is some strange sequence of
state transitions or incomplete cleanup that makes that a new progress
bar is created for the new view before the previous one has properly
closed or something? How does one make this API Demos sample work
properly under screen rotation? I suspect that Android itself needs to
clean up something more than it does now when rotating the view.

[android-developers] Re: Using the ItemizedOverlay and OverlayItem

2008-09-04 Thread Guillaume Perrot


OK overlay items are drawn with the setBounds trick.
But overlay title or snippet is never drawn even if we tap on it. How
to use these overlay items fields ?

  Hi everyone,

  I finally got this thing working. Just set the bounds of the marker to

  Sample:
  Drawable defaultMarker =

  defaultMarker.setBounds(0, 0, defaultMarker.getIntrinsicWidth(),
  defaultMarker.getIntrinsicHeight());
  mMapView.getOverlays().add(new DemoOverlay(defaultMarker)); //
  DemoOverlay is of course an ItemizedOverlay

  I made a small demo showing one OverlayItem and how to handle tap-
  events. If someone is interested:

 try changing

 private GeoPoint mRandomPoint = new GeoPoint(5309691, 8851933);
 to some thing like this
 currentPoint = new GeoPoint((int) (-43.2973 * 100), (int) (172.5929
 * 100));
 the map is draw much faster

[android-developers] Re: Downloading any file using browser.


You could write an intent filter in the following way:

   activity android:name=.MyActivity android:label=@string/
app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE /
data android:scheme=http /
data android:mimeType=?/
   /intent-filter
/activity

Here you have to replace ? by the mime-type you intend to
handle. Then your activity will be called by the browser, and you can
use getIntent() ( 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Activity.html#getIntent()
) to get more information about the intent.

[android-developers] Re: Orientation changes simulation


Hmm, it will indeed be interesting to see how having interpreted
Dalvik, i.e., without a JIT, will impact performance of my core
routines that are not delegated to coarse grain native code (and
hardware) calls like one can do with typical CPU-intensive graphics
operations. Looking forward to performance benchmarking, to compare
Android (with interpreted Dalvik) to J2ME (with JIT) on real phones.
There could be a huge performance difference. My program can benefit
from JIT with a low memory overhead, since only small parts of the
code eat most of the CPU time, but a JIT compiler might get confused
by getting my CPU load in bursts (say at ten percent duty cycle), such
that it may forget to keep the JIT-compiled native code available
for reuse in the next burst in CPU load.

Despite not being able to emulate the compass code, I'm not too
worried about that part as for me it is only an added feature and user
option for now.

 Things like the screen density, interaction with the touch screen,
 etc.  Personally I don't think running a previous J2ME version on some
 other hardware counts as running the current Android version on the
 corresponding hardware.

This is the correct behavior. The dialog should remain visible after a

should be filled automatically even after a screen rotation.

[android-developers] Re: ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY: anyone have this working?


*bump*

Mark Murphy wrote:
 I'm attempting to use ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY. According to the docs:
 
 Pick an activity given an intent, returning the class selected.
 
 So, I've used ACTION_PICK to pick a contact, which I get back in my 
 onActivityResult() as an Intent.
 
 What I can't quite figure out is how to construct the 
 ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY Intent. Again, according to the docs:
 
 Input: getExtra(String) field EXTRA_INTENT is an Intent used with 
 queryIntentActivities(Intent, int) to determine the set of activities 
 from which to pick.
 
 If I'm reading this correctly, I need two Intents:
 
 1. One containing the Uri of the content for which I want the user to 
 pick an activity
 
 2. One containing the Intent from #1 above as EXTRA_INTENT and having an 
 action of ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY
 
 It's a bit mystifying why I need two rather than just one (I don't need 
 EXTRA_INTENT on ACTION_PICK, so why on ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY?). But, be 
 that as it may, no matter what I try, Android 0.9 says it can't find an 
 activity to handle my ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY request, and so blows up with 
   an exception like:
 
 android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle 
 Intent { action=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }
 
 Part of the problem may be that the docs *don't* say what the Uri is 
 supposed to be for Intent #2. I have tried the same Uri as in Intent #1, 
 and I have tried no Uri, and both have failed:
 
 Intent i=new Intent()
   //.setData(data.getData())
   .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, data)
   .setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY);
 
 where data is the Intent I got back from ACTION_PICK.
 
 Any idea where I'm going wrong?
 
 Thanks!

[android-developers] Use dynamic string instead of Integer in findViewById

2008-09-04 Thread Kavi


Currently, findViewById uses a R.id.viewid which is an Integer to find
views.

Is it possible to give findViewById a string like R.id.field_1_text?

The reason i want to know this is then, i can use a loop and change
the values for fields like
R.id.field_1_text, R.id.field_2_text, R.id.field_3_text  rather
than setting all of them sequentially.

Is it possible to convert a string to a resource id before passing it
in to the findViewById method. I tried looking on the groups but
didn't find anything that could help me in this case.

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Use dynamic string instead of Integer in findViewById


Hi,

You could also find by id the container of all the children you need
and iterate over its children using getChildCount() and getChildAt().

Note that there is also a way to get an id's integer using its name as
a String. Use Context.getResources().getIdentifier():

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#getIdentifier(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

 Why not put them in an array?

 private int[] ALL_YOUR_TEXT={R.id.field_1_text, R.id.field_2_text, ...};

 Then you can iterate over them as you wish.

It's actually easy to circumvent. On orientation change, the activity
should save the current progress value in its Bundle (in
onSaveInstanceState().) Then, when the activity is recreated, it
should read this value back and resume the progress from where it
stopped.

[android-developers] Re: Quirky behavior when rotating screen in API Demos sample, Progress dialog


For my own use I do not care if the progress dialog continues from
where it was or starts all over, so I need no save/restore of its
state. However, the fact that the progress bar does not start at all
after changing screen orientation suggests a bug. The impression I got
is that the progress dialog upon dismiss does not get cleaned up
before the activity restarts and attempts (and fails due to a conflict
with the lingering previous progress dialog) to recreate that same
progress dialog. As an application developer I have no control over
the asynchronous dismiss handling, and I cannot see what happens under
the hood that makes it fail, so the above is just my conjecture.

The bug is just in the sample application: it should call
mProgressHandler.sendEmptyMessage(previousProgress) after an
orientation change and if the progress dialog is showing. There is no
cleanup problem or conflict or anything like this.

 Hi everybody.

 Help please,

WiFi is just Internet access. You can use whatever Internet-based 
protocols you like, either using built-in clients (e.g., Apache 
HttpComponents) or ones you supply yourself via third-party code (e.g., 
XMPP) that work using standard Java socket support.

For two devices/emulators to speak with one another, you will probably 
want to use some server as a messaging hub (e.g., XMPP/Jabber, Amazon SQS).

[android-developers] TabActivity throws SecurityException in specific cases only

2008-09-04 Thread i_am_on_android


Hi,

I am trying to replace the default contacts view in the Contacts
Application, but I get a SecurityException. Does it have something to
do that Contacts uses TabActivity and each Activity is in a different
process?  Could it be a bug in SDK 0.9?

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.android.contacts/
com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity}:
java.lang.SecurityException: Requesting code from
com.swisscom.test (with uid 10017) to be run in process
android.process.shared (with uid 10004)

Is there any way how to solve that?
I was using this intent-filter.

intent-filter 
 action
android:name=com.android.contacts.action.LIST_DEFAULT /
category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
/intent-filter

The funny thing here is the following:

I have two Activities on the same Intent. So, when I open the Contacts
application, I get the dialog from which I can chose the Activity to
show. If I manually select my own Activity in the dialog, it works. If
I select it be the default application and it is started
automatically, it throws the SecurityException.

Reto

Actuall a scenario with reading from file just an example. Original

packets from stream. The solution to save packets to disk is VERY
SLOW! So that is why I am tring a way with LocalSocket.

[android-developers] VideoPlayer Fast Forward/Rewind

2008-09-04 Thread Iroid


Hello all,
I am developing a VideoPlayer based on MediaPlayer provided by
Android.
In this video player, I have to implement Fast Forward(FF) and Fast
Rewind(FR) too apart from other basic play/pause/seek functionality.
I could not find any Direct(fastForward(speed)/fastRewind(speed)) or
Indirect(changeFrameRate(speed)) API in Android to implement the same.
for the time I have implemented the same by using seekTo, but
obviously the performance is not as expected. As to implement FF/FR
one has to change the frame rate.

Does android really not support Fast Forward/Rewind or there is any
workaround to achieve the same?

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

[android-developers] Orientation sensor definition correct?


In the documentation I find:

Sensor values are yaw, pitch and roll. Yaw is the compass heading in
degrees, range [0, 360[ 0 = North, 90 = East, 180 = South, 270 = West
Pitch indicates the tilt of the top of the device, with range -90 to
90. Positive values indicate that the bottom of the device is tilted
up and negative values indicate the top of the device is tilted up.
Roll indicates the side to side tilt of the device, with range -90 to
90. Positive values indicate that the left side of the device is
tilted up and negative values indicate the right side of the device is
tilted up. 
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/hardware/SensorManager.html#SENSOR_ORIENTATION

The problem is, if both pitch and roll, are restricted to the range
-90 to 90, then there is no way to describe for example the display
pointing downwards orientation. One of the two has to be allowed to
go from -180 to +180.

I think it would make more sense to allow roll in the range -180 to
+180 and restrict pitch to -90 to 90, because then the top of the
device would always point north if yaw == 0.

Is this assumption ok?

Your activity can work with files in a per-application on-device store 
via openFileInput() and openFileOutput(). However, on-device space is 
generally at a premium, so please be frugal.

 Android MediaPlayer does not support playback at speeds greater than 1,
because its very resource intensive to decode video faster than that.

seconds, which I think you are already doing.

Bluetooth would work for extremely local (i.e., Bluetooth-range) 
distances, but the Android 1.0 SDK will not have the Bluetooth API for 
you to use. Perhaps it will in a future release.

WiFi or 3G/EDGE-type wireless data may or may not be helpful, depending 
on how you are going to ascertain location (e.g., GPS?). And, of course, 
WiFi assumes the existence of an available access point.

[android-developers] Re: ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY: anyone have this working?


I'm not really sure I understand what you want to do.  The protocol
for PICK is very simply: the data is the URI of items you want to pick
from, and the result returned is a URI of the one that was picked, as
described here:

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_PICK

There is no EXTRA_INTENT involved.  As long as you have the data set
to a URI of items, and there is an activity that can pick from that
MIME type (which there may not necessarily be depending on what you
are trying to pick from), then it will work.

 Mark Murphy wrote:
  I'm attempting to use ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY. According to the docs:

  Pick an activity given an intent, returning the class selected.

  So, I've used ACTION_PICK to pick a contact, which I get back in my

  What I can't quite figure out is how to construct the
  ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY Intent. Again, according to the docs:

  Input: getExtra(String) field EXTRA_INTENT is an Intent used with
  queryIntentActivities(Intent, int) to determine the set of activities
  from which to pick.

  If I'm reading this correctly, I need two Intents:

  1. One containing the Uri of the content for which I want the user to
  pick an activity

  2. One containing the Intent from #1 above as EXTRA_INTENT and having an
  action of ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY

  It's a bit mystifying why I need two rather than just one (I don't need
  EXTRA_INTENT on ACTION_PICK, so why on ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY?). But, be
  that as it may, no matter what I try, Android 0.9 says it can't find an
  activity to handle my ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY request, and so blows up with
    an exception like:

  android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle
  Intent { action=android.intent.action.PICK_ACTIVITY (has extras) }

  Part of the problem may be that the docs *don't* say what the Uri is
  supposed to be for Intent #2. I have tried the same Uri as in Intent #1,
  and I have tried no Uri, and both have failed:

  Intent i=new Intent()
             //.setData(data.getData())
             .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, data)
             .setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY);

  where data is the Intent I got back from ACTION_PICK.

  Any idea where I'm going wrong?

  Thanks!

Adding one debug output line to AlertDialogSamples.java to get

shows that the handler keeps incrementing mProgress under the
condition that I mentioned, but without dismissing the dialog when
mProgress reaches 100 (and indeed stops counting). I do not see how
adding another trigger message could help with this.

Or more explicitly,

mProgressHandler = new Handler() {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
Log.i(OIC, mProgress =  + mProgress);
if (mProgress = MAX_PROGRESS) {
Log.i(OIC, This should dismiss me, but...);
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
} else {
mProgress++;
mProgressDialog.incrementProgressBy(1);
mProgressHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 100);
}
}
};

gives

[android-developers] Re: Quirky behavior when rotating screen in API Demos sample, Progress dialog


Because it's the old Handler for the old ProgressDialog. A new
ProgressDialog is created when the screen orientation change. That new
progress dialog should have a new handle to take care of it. And the
activity should stop the handler in onDestroy() to avoid keeping it
running for a while after an orientation change.

 Adding one debug output line to AlertDialogSamples.java to get

 shows that the handler keeps incrementing mProgress under the

 mProgress reaches 100 (and indeed stops counting). I do not see how
 adding another trigger message could help with this.

 Or more explicitly,

mProgressHandler = new Handler() {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
Log.i(OIC, mProgress =  + mProgress);
if (mProgress = MAX_PROGRESS) {
Log.i(OIC, This should dismiss me, but...);
mProgressDialog.dismiss();
} else {
mProgress++;
mProgressDialog.incrementProgressBy(1);
mProgressHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 100);
}
}
};

[android-developers] Re: ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY: anyone have this working?

The PICK_ACTIVITY action may be implemented in some code that isn't
included with this SDK. What are you trying to do accomplish with
it? What it is usually used for is to display to the user a list of
activities for them to pick -- such as the top-level main main
activities you can launch. I don't really see how it makes sense to
use against a specific contact.

There is no EXTRA_INTENT involved. As long as you have the data set
to a URI of items, and there is an activity that can pick from that
MIME type (which there may not necessarily be depending on what you
are trying to pick from), then it will work.

I'm sorry, but I believe you misinterpreted what I wrote. Probably I was
too confusing, so let me try something shorter...

I know how to use ACTION_PICK. I get a contact via ACTION_PICK. So far,
life is good.

I now want to apply ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY against that contact that the
user picked.

I cannot make sense of the documentation to determine how to use
ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY, there is no sample app that uses that Intent
action in the SDK, and my random stabs at using ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY
fail with a No Activity found to handle Intent error.

So...I'm wondering if anyone has a code snippet that demonstrates
crafting an ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY Intent and invoking it against a given
content Uri (e.g., a contact picked via ACTION_PICK).

Thanks in advance!

Write about it in a chapter in my book.

These sort of introspection mechanisms (e.g., addIntentOptions(), the
discarded ActivityAdapter/ActivityIconAdapter) are one of the more
interesting aspects of Android-dom, leading to lots of potential for
inter-activity cooperation.

What it is usually used for is to display to the user a list of
activities for them to pick -- such as the top-level main main
activities you can launch. I don't really see how it makes sense to
use against a specific contact.

For the book example, I was going to have the user ACTION_PICK a contact
and then pick an operation via ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY. That's because
keeping book examples short and sweet makes it easier for people to grok
the implementation. And, contacts are one content provider I know will
be on the emulator and can trivially be added by the user so there's
some real data there. So, yes, it's a mildly fakey example, but, gimme a
break, it's a book...

I suppose I'll just delve deeper into
PackageManager#queryIntentActivityOptions() instead. I prefer to put in
more details on the more cooked approaches than the raw one, but if
ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY is DOA, and ActivityAdapter/ActivityIconAdapter are
nuked, I may as well cover what I can.

Thanks anyway!

Ah! I'm not sure how much this one is worth covering, but anyway. :)

Yep, this is definitely an important area, that the faster people can
really understand them the more powerful our applications will
become. This particular action is a really simple special-case one,
though, so I wouldn't recommend using it as an illustration of the
larger picture.

Actually I don't think I would structure the example that way -- it
isn't really the kind of UI flow you would do, so this isn't how the
action is intended to be used. What it is mainly used for is when you
want to pop up a list of things for the user to choose from to fill in
a field. For example, if you were going to write a shortcut manager,
you could use ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY to have the user pick an activity
to assign to a shortcut. If the Intent extra you give it is
action=MAIN category=LAUNCHER they will be picking from all of the
applications they have installed.

For the case of picking a contact and then do something with it,
probably what you want to use is a chooser -- see
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_CHOOSER

This presents to the user a list of activities that match the given
intent (if there is more than one) and upon selecting one of them
executes that activity on the caller's behalf. This is intended for
things like having the user add an attachment to an e-mail message
(where you want to present a list of things that can supply
attachments), so I think it better follows the example you want, and
should be used far more than the PICK_ACTIVITY action.

Instead of queryIntentActivityOptions(), I would suggest using the
higher-level menu apis:
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/view/Menu.html#addIntentOptions(int,%20int,%20int,%20android.content.ComponentName,%20android.content.Intent[],%20android.content.Intent,%20int,%20android.view.MenuItem[])

The note pad example should be using this for its menus.

To be honest, though, for our current UI we have pretty much backed
away from the menu approach, and I think all of the regular apps are
now using ACTION_CHOOSER for places where their actions can be
extended. The chooser approach seems to work a bit better for
scalability in the places we have been using it.

[android-developers] Abstract Classes and Layouts

2008-09-04 Thread Jerome O'Neil


I have a couple of widgets that I would like to appear on each
Activity within my application.   I've been trying to set up an
AbstractHandler that extends Activity that implements these common
bits of code, and then have each of my Activity classes extend that,
and then have those classes implement just the components that are
important to them.  That's pretty basic stuff.

My problem is that when I set up the layout in XML in the concrete
class, it over writes the layout in the abstract class, and I then
lose the common widgets.

A general sketch of the problem.

public abstract class Foo extends Activity{

  public void onCreate(Bundle bundle){
   super.onCreate(bundle);

   // I want these buttons inherited by every Activity in my
application.
   setContentView(R.layout.abstractbuttons);
  }

}



public class Bar extends Foo{

   public void onCreate(Bundle bundle){
super.onCreate(bundle);

// These buttons are specific to this Activity, but by setting
the content view differently, I lose the
// Buttons in Foo.
   setContentView(R.layout.specificbuttons);
   }
}

So I guess what I want is a way to merge to XML layouts.

Is that possible?

Many thanks,

-J

[android-developers] Re: ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY: anyone have this working?

One thing I noticed -- the current implementation of the default
CHOOSER activity does not quite work the same as when you get when
using Menu.addIntentOptions() -- it will show all of the activities
that match the intent, however it does not take care of filling in the
intent action field if one wasn't already specified. :(

Unfortunately we'll have to live with this for 1.0. It means you
can't correctly use it for the case where you create an intent with no
action, that is want to let the user pick all of the actions for a
particular URI. So as an example, you'll need to use it in the cases
we have been, where the original Intent is full specified, such as
GET_CONTENT with some MIME type.

Is your start activity class called Forwarding? If not, you should
change the second line to the name of your class. In most cases you
can just use this (instead of Forwarding.this).

Does this help? If not, it would be useful if you could post the

Hi Peli,

Thanks for the info. I think I found what it was, I accidentally
remembered something about the manifest file in the old SDK versions.
Sure enough, we need to explicitly add the Activity names in the app
before starting them. It would be useful if the exception thrown
mentioned that (maybe it does in the Logcat section) yeah.

Now it's time to try getting a MapActivity to actually display a map -
all I'm getting is a fine looking grey grid.

Thanks,

 can just use this (instead of Forwarding.this).

 Does this help? If not, it would be useful if you could post the
 logcat error message, or more of your code.

  Hi,

  Just downloaded the new beta version. I can't launch a new activity
  from my start activity. I followed the Forwarding.java example. This
  is what I have:

              Intent intent = new Intent();
              intent.setClass(Forwarding.this, ForwardTarget.class);
              startActivity(intent);
              finish();

  but my app always crashes on the third line (startActivity()).

  Any idea why this could be? I have it setup just as in the example...

  Thanks,
  Mark

[android-developers] No internet connectivity - no browser, no maps?


Hi,

Just got the latest beta 0.9 version on my win32 system.

I can't access any web pages through the web browser, or any map data
through the maps sample applications.

I know I'm connected to the internets because, well I'm writing this
to you all right now. I'm not behind a firewall, don't have any proxy
setup.

This always worked fine on my setup with earlier versions of the
Android SDK. Am I missing some flag that needs to be set to get it to
allow internet connectivity or something?

Thanks,
Mark

  What is the common replacement for MapView's OnLongPressListener
  (since its gone in 0.9) ?

  Since MapView's setOnLongPressListener() method is now removed...if you
  need the same functionality...you could try
  handling the OnTouchEvent() and passing it on to a GestureDetector to
  handle it yourself..

 Further, you can use getProjection() to get the lat/lng from the pixel
 co-ordinates of the touchEvent..



  OnLongClick does not provide the Coordinates :(

  PS: This is my third try to post o_O.

[android-developers] Map won't display

2008-09-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I have subclassed the MapActivity and created the new MapView but when
I launch my application it won't display a map.  The Maps app that
comes with the SDK does work.

here is my code:

public class perimeter extends MapActivity {


protected MapView MyMapView = null;

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


MyMapView = new
MapView(this,ABC);
 
setContentView(MyMapView);
}

@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
}
}


And here is my Manifest file.


?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
package=com.ds.perimeter
application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/
app_name
activity android:name=.perimeter android:label=@string/
app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /

/intent-filter
/activity
uses-library android:name=com.google.android.maps /
/application
/manifest
