In this case I can to click only 27 times.
Then I hve exception - NullPointerException

In m5 worked variant:

if( mSoundFx != null )
  mSoundFx.pause();
mSoundFx = mSoundFxs[aBonusType];
mSoundFx.seekTo(0);
mSoundFx.start();

where mSoundFx - MediaPlayer mSoundFx;
and mSoundFxs  - MediaPlayer  mSoundFxs = new MediaPlayer[]{
MediaPlayer.create( mContext,R.raw.no2),
MediaPlayer.create( mContext,R.raw.trc_ok2),
MediaPlayer.create( mContext,R.raw.type2) ,
MediaPlayer.create( mContext,R.raw.side2),
MediaPlayer.create( mContext,R.raw.appl2),
};

But in 9beta and 1.0_r1 it does not work.

[android-developers] OutOfMemoryError on orientation change

[songs]

Hi,

My other post on this subject might show up some time, but it's been
over an hour since then so I'm assuming it's lost somewhere.

I get an OutOfMemoryException when I change the orientation on my app
3-4 times.  It's a pretty simple application that behaves well as long
as I don't change the orientation too often without shutting it down.

My activity creates an instance of its Java-based view in onCreate.
The view loads 30 or so small images (~2k each, png) when it's
created.  I've tried setting the activity's reference to the view to
null as well as calling System.gc() during onPause to try to clean
things up since onCreate gets called on every orientation change, but
that doesn't seem to help.  GC messages show up in the logs on every
orientation change regardless so garbage collection seems to happen in
general.

Here's a snippet of the stacktrace:
=
E/dalvikvm-heap(  302): 15872-byte external allocation too large for
this process.
E/(  302): VM won't let us allocate 15872 bytes

Any ideas?

ps - I was checking for my post to show and Groups eventually told me
that I was spyware and to enter in info from the captcha, except that
the captcha wouldn't show in either Chrome or Firefox.  In Firefox,
Groups tried to tell me that I didn't have images enabled...  So that
was a really frustrating wait.

[android-developers] Message: does not extend Activity and Scala-programming

[meiko]

Hi

I am writing a Scala-program for Android.
http://www.scala-lang.org
Scala is compatible to Java, and compiles to Java-Bytecode

I had written Activities in Scala, and used them in the
AndroidManifest-File.
If the Scala classes directly extending android.app.Activity all is
running fine.
The problems begin, if the inheritance structure is a little bit
deeper.
MyActivity extends MyListActivity
MyListActivity extends android.app.ListActivity

"test.view.MyActivity does not extend android.app.Activity
AndroidManifest.xml ..."
Where does this message come from ?

My workaround is,
to write a JAVA-class which extends MyActivity, and used this Java-
Class in the AndroidManifest...
Why is this working ?

How can i suppress this error-message, and convince the plugin to
ignore it ?

Thx
Meiko

[android-developers] OutOfMemoryError when switching orientation

[songs]

Hi,

I think that either I've stumbled onto a bug or I'm missing something
on how to manage my resources.  I have an activity with a Java based
view that contains 30 or so small images (~2k each .png) that are
loaded into an array when the view is created.  In "normal" operation,
everything runs fine.  When I flip the orientation between landscape
and portrait 3-4 times, I get the following:

E/AndroidRuntime(  472): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size
exceeds VM budget
E/AndroidRuntime(  472):at
android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeAsset(Native Method)
E/AndroidRuntime(  472):at
android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:290)
E/AndroidRuntime(  472):at
android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.createFromStream(Drawable.java:635)
E/AndroidRuntime(  472):at
android.content.res.Resources.loadDrawable(Resources.java:1440)
E/AndroidRuntime(  472):at
android.content.res.Resources.getDrawable(Resources.java:498)

When the orientation gets changed, the activity seems to go through
the entire lifecycle (pause, stop, then create again).  A new instance
of the activity's view is created in the onCreate method and it seems
that the pause/stop steps in the lifecycle don't clean up the old
view.  I've tried explicitly setting the reference to the view to null
in onPause and doing a System.gc(), but that doesn't seem to help.
I've also tried setting the requested orientation to portrait in hopes
that the activity would then ignore orientation changes, but that
didn't work either.  GC messages come up after every orientation
change so one would think that the garbage collector was doing its
job.

I could just leave this be and assume people aren't going to be
randomly flipping their phone open and closed while they're using my
app, but that seems pretty sloppy.  I'd like to know what's going on
here and fix it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Looks like you're leaking memory somewhere. Do you keep a static cache

[android-developers] Re: Can I record an audio file via MediaRecorder on the simulator which based on android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

You may do the following two points before the record.

1. set the permission for RECORD_AUDIO in Androidmanifest.xml.
2. simulate the sdcard.

The audio file should be stored in the sdcard.

[android-developers] wrong file.length

[otiasj]

Hello,
I have a problem with one file, I copied it on an sdcard using the
DDMS,
and it show a size of 25568 (same size under windows)

however if I do :
File f = new File("myfile");
f.length -> 26236

Also when i try to copy this file with an inputstream/
FileOutputstream,
the resulting file is also 26236bytes instead of 25568bytes.

This file is a jar file. I have tried with other jar file and it works
correctly.
only this file doesn't...

I am wondering why this is happening...

Any tips?


Thank you for the help

[android-developers] Re: HttpClient, URLConnection, settings, etc...

[Amos]

Make sure you have the "android.permission.INTERNET" Uses Permission
in your AndroidManifest.xml file to enable your app to access the
internet.

I don't know of any preference between HttpClient and URLConnection
(I'd also be happy to know if one of them is preferred).

There's an apps-for-android project which contains app samples created
by Google's Android team. I haven't examined them in-depth, but I'm
sure they have some pretty good usage examples. From just a quick
browse, this class might be a useful reference for you:

http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/trunk/Translate/src/com/beust/android/translate/Translate.java

Good Luck,

Sorry, by "few" I mean "few as a percentage of the overall market of 
applications". Few desktop applications need charting, as a percentage 
of the desktop applications that exist. Few Web applications need 
charting. Few mobile applications for other platforms need charting. 
Hence, I don't feel like I'm completely out of line to suggest that few 
Android applications will need charting.

Perhaps I'll be wrong, particularly if a robust charting API comes to 
life. I certainly won't quibble if that's the case.

Everybody and their sister has a claim out on what goes in that silicon. 
You want charting. Another guy wants infrared support. Others want a 
wider range of programming languages. Others want more Bluetooth 
profiles and a Bluetooth API. Others want video recording.

I'm not saying charting is necessarily more or less worthy than any of 
the other candidates. I am saying, though, that there are limits as to 
what the silicon can hold and what the core Android team can manage, 
particularly without heavy lifting from the community.

The first step is to either port a charting API to Android or build one 
from scratch. The second step is to get lots of applications to settle 
on it as their charting solution (probably easy, since it'll be the only 
one available). The third step is to propose it as a contribution to 
Android once it's open source, demonstrating its success in the 
marketplace and the valuable contribution it makes to the platform.

The sooner somebody with a charting itch to scratch starts in, the 
sooner you'll see your vision realized.

I have a ListView I'm populating with a call to an XML feed, and I'd
like to save it when the orientation flips to save a reload.

I've read that you can Override the onSaveInstanceState and store your
information there, but I can't figure out how to save the values of a
ListView?

Am I on the right path or am I doing something wrong?

I don't get the question - just serialize the items into the bundle?
Am I missing something here?

[android-developers] Re: Code working in standalone java; doesnot work in android (android-sdk-windows-0.9_beta)

[androidian]

Does anyone have a cleaner solution to this problem (i.e. apart from
modifying/hacking google's own gdata code)?  It seems strange that
you'd have to do that in order to access google APIs from android.

I've added uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"
to my manifest but I still get the error:
com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException: Error connecting with
login URI
...
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Hostname  was not
verified

This is just by using the following code in my app:
SpreadsheetService myService = new SpreadsheetService(
"mydomain.com-myapp-1");
myService.setUserCredentials("[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"mypassword");

Any ideas?  It seems to be trying to get an SSL connection for some
reason.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

cheers,
Ian

I think I'm missing something... I want to do something like.  I have
the list Adapater being set to a custom adapter... so I was trying to
do it this way..

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
savedInstanceState.putSerializable("listview", (Serializable)
getListAdapter());

}

@Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

setListAdapter((MyCustomListAdapter)
savedInstanceState.getSerializable("listview"));

}

I don't think that would work. You'll need to manually serialize the items.

Or, if the actual ListAdapter contents are already stored somewhere 
(e.g., database), just store transient state, like the selected position 
and visible items.

[android-developers] Re: Saved Instance State and ListViews

[Mark Hansen]

The list is pulled from a remote feed over the web, so I was trying to
prevent having to reload the listview via another web pull.

Basically I just want the application to save everything and then
restore itself when the user changes orientation, instead of having to
make another full call back data source.

[android-developers] Re: HttpClient, URLConnection, settings, etc...

[Guillaume Perrot]

What are you trying to do ?
Can you post your code ?
For the HttpClient usage, there are several examples at
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/examples.html

I have no best practice for you but concerning my usage:
* I only use HttpClient when I need to handle cookies.
* For REST API calls, I use URLConnection which is quite simple.

Nope, the only static variables I have are constants.  I do keep an

Thanks for the input.. I ended up just saving out my data from the

Then you should check carefully where exactly you pass your Activity
(or Context) to other classes/APIs, etc. The Context is used by many
different classes in the Android framework and if you somehow "leak"
the Context, you leak all the views, images, etc. Your issue is very
similar to several issues we fixed over the past few months: on each
rotation the Context leaks and everything leaks with it. You can use
DDMS to check how the heap is growing after each rotation, it should
tell you whether this is the problem or not.

[android-developers] Help me to test APK file on your real device

[Ulzii]

Hi All,

I have finished an application for the Android platform device.

I am writing from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It means there is no
possibility to test apk file on real android gPhone device.

Is there anyone who obtained gPhone, could you help me to test my APK
file on your device.

My APK file is located on next link.

http://terelj.googlepages.com/ToDoListApplet.apk

Next link touches screenshots of my application.

http://water.appspot.com/

Thanks,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[android-developers] Re: Charting engine within Android?

[Olaf Encke]

> Planned? My guess is no, only because few applications need charting and

I beg to differ. I think a lot of business applications, science tools
and even some system/network utilities could really benefit from a
builtin charting api. It would make developing such applications a
breeze and with consistent (and themeable) charting graphs Android
would present itself as a prime business platform.

> the bigger the operating system, the more expensive it is to put it on a

Since flash memory in mobile devices is now at 256-512 MiB standard I
think an investment of 1-2 MiB for a lean charting API would be well
worth it instead of each app developer struggling to create his or her
own charts which thus wouldn't look consistent on a systemwide scale
or resign from implementing charts alltogether, leaving a lot to
desire in the resulting app usability. Just look at WinMob for a lot
of bad examples.

Yes that would be one way to do it, but my goal would be for (most)
all charts in Android applications to deliver a consistent user
experience and the only way to make sure we'll come close to meeting
it in my opinion would be to integrate one suitable charting engine
into the Android core.

I think at the moment Android lays too much focus on the "cool" gagdet
apps with location based services and I just hope dearly that the gps
power drain won't completely ruin the usability of all those
applications.
On the other hand the classic reason for buying an expensive phone/
data plan is business use and visualizing data in charts for quick
analysis is a typical requirement in this scenario.

That's my opinion.

I would recommend storing the data from the feed somewhere other than 
just in the ListView itself. Database, XML file, JSON file, whatever. If 
you go with the database option, you can use a CursorAdapter and still 
only have one copy of the data -- just in a spot that is designed to 
live longer.

Understood, but I suspect the instance-state mechanism isn't designed 
for large data sets.

1-2MB...  -lean-...?!?  That's about the same size as the entire
android frameworks!!!  And consider that your huge whopping 256-512MB
must be used for the entire system, plus kernel, plus radio image, as
well as internal data storage, and a measly 1-2MB can easily mean 10
or more fewer apps you can install.

Please read again what I wrote.  The permission for access to the

Google is in no way new to Java, and the Android team is composed
almost entirely by people with a long history in mobile operating
systems, including big chunks of people from Palm/PalmSource/Access,
Danger, Microsoft, etc.

Anyway, I am not arguing about this, I am not saying the errors are
great as they are, I was just trying to give some insight into why in
many cases giving better errors in Android is not as simple as you
seem to think it is.  If you don't want to believe me that this is how
things work, well fine, but it's not really worth arguing about.

[android-developers] Automatic "word wrap" for views?

[Nikkelitous]

Is there any way to automatically wrap widgets within a view? I'd like
a display with a series of number buttons.  I'd like to have them show
up as 4 rows on a portrait screen (As on a telephone) and 2 rows in
Landscape (6 per row).  Now, I'm not set on these two options, and I
guess I could make 2 separate views depending on orientation but is
there any easy/automatic way to do this?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: getLatitudeSpan, getLongitudeSpan, getHeight, getWidth errors

[yarun]

Thank-you, this makes sense.

What is the best way to wait for an activity to be laid out? Should I
set a listener (if so which listener), use multi-threading, or another
alternative?

The multi-threading option seems redundant to me because the map
rendering is occurring in the UI thread and I just want to know when
its done rendering hence I just want to setup a listener.

That lets me put them next to each other and above one another but
doesn't answer my question at all.  I would like to them to
automatically fill the screen not just in width, but automatically
making new rows when they are too wide to be usable on one row.

I'm sorry, I should have paid attention to "but is there any

I don't know of such a layout. You'll probably need to handle the
orientation change.

[android-developers] polite request for better error messages

[Jason Proctor]

thanks for the response. sorry for the tone of my post - it was late, 
there were beers, and as you can tell error messages are a pet peeve.

i agree we all want the same things here and it's not always possible 
to provide the best.

Android permissions are enforced in the Linux kernel? really? i'm 
interested as to how this is done, is there any info up anywhere?

[android-developers] HttpClient, URLConnection, settings, etc...

ensure that  is inside , too, not inside

i've had problems using URLConnection directly - with short transfers 
i could reproducibly get "SOCKETLOG add_recv_stats 0" log error 
messages, accompanied by nothing being delivered to the Android app. 
i switched to using Socket or HttpClient, and everything worked fine. 
URLConnection should work though IMHO.

 Thanks for your feedback Jason...those error messages aren't meaningful 
enough. The engineers are working on improving the error messages in 
general..It would be helpful though if you can log specific package/class or 
API related error message issues in the public issue tracker...in that way it 
will be easy to keep track of.

i'd never have thought of that ;-)in the socket case, the actual exception 
message is as i posted.prior to me logging the exception, OSNetworkSystem logs 
"unknownsocket error -1".in the MediaPlayer.create() case, no exception is 
thrown. the methodreturns null to signify the error. however, the internal 
exception islogged in the DDMS window, and it's exactly the message i posted.in 
both cases, some piece of Android SDK knew what the problem was,and decided not 
to tell.i hope that nobody is going to argue *against* informative 
errormessages? they are a hallmark of java development - i have 
writtencountless Swing applications with not even one question posted on 
alist.opaque error messages just lead to endless list FAQs and 
delayedapplications. biggest problem with the computer industry as a wholeIMHO.

[android-developers] Re: httpclient connection problem ?

[Jason Proctor]

if you're trying to connect to a server which is running on the host 
computer, then use 10.0.2.2 as the IP address. localhost, in this 
situation, is the emulator.

[android-developers] How can I launch the default Contact Application provided in SDK with my app

[Abraham]

HI All,

I'm a newbie with Android.

I would like to understand how I could launch the default Listview of
contacts(similar to the behavior that you would observe on launching
the contacts app from the main menu).

Is this possible or do I have to create a similar activity in my
application which resembles the Contacts List view?

Yes, all security is enforced at the kernel and hardware level, via
process isolation, uid isolation, etc.  More info can be found here:
http://code.google.com/android/devel/security.html

A good thing to keep in mind is Android is not a "Java framework for
mobile phones," it is a "Linux-based operating system for mobile
phones, which uses Java as its programming language."

[android-developers] Re: HttpClient Connection Issue

[Bill Zimmerly]

Badri,

Can you see what the server is getting from Android? Is the "service"
a HTTP
web server? (It would seem so since you're using the HTTP default port
80.)

If it is, your code snippet doesn't look to me like it is formatting a
proper "GET"
request to send to the server.

[android-developers] Using getDrawingCache() with MapView

[sandroid]

Hello,
  I want to use getDrawingCache() to get a Bitmap from MapView,
but I'm not sure where or when to call the routine.  In my ViewGroup
there is a dispatchDraw(Canvas) routine, but it seems to me like I
want to call getDrawingCache() after or during the MapView draw()
routine.

Does anybody know much about getDrawingCache()?  I cannot find a good
example online or in the ApiDemos.  Ideally I would like to be able to
do this for any View.

-Marc

[android-developers] Re: Automatic "word wrap" for views?

[Nikkelitous]

Yeah, was worried about that.  I just hate the idea of putting the UI
into the code.  I guess I'll have to create multiple UI views and hope
that other hardware devices are similar in screen layout.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Emulator Orientation Change on Mac

[Anm]

>From the emulator keyboard command docs:
  Switch to previous layout orientation (for example, portrait,
landscape)  KEYPAD_7, F11
  Switch to next layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape)
KEYPAD_9, F12

These don't seem to work on a Mac.  Normally the F11 and F12 keys are
already mapped to expose and dashboard, but even if you turn those
off, it just beeps at you.  While I can test the resulting
orientations from the command line arguments, it's looking like I have
no way to test change of orientation via the emulator.

Can anyone verify that is true?

[android-developers] Android FreeTTS server interfacing, a speech solution for your projects

[Alvaro Rivas]

Hi,

Due to many question about a interfacing with FreeTTS or speech generation,
I decided to open source a part of my ADC I project. It is intended to be
used for all of you who wants to get a text to speech system in yours
developments.

Android-freeTTS reads from a Free TTS server a file that can be executed in
the android application in order to get speech.

Code has been ported to 1.0 Android SDK. I put a sample "hello word" in
order to see the results of a speech generation.

Many bugs can be found, but the idea is to give you a basic speech
generation in order to be included in your developments in others ADC's

Projects are Eclipse projects, maybe you must add JDK System library in your
projects.

A documentation file is supplied. Please read the howto section. (IP address
and other things must be configured before you use this).

Hope it helps you, if not, sorry!..

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freettsandroidi/

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Using getDrawingCache() with MapView

[Romain Guy]

getDrawingCache() will work only if you either enable the drawing
cache on the View or call buildDrawingCache() first. If you do this
manually make sure to disable/destroy the drawing cache when you are
done. Otherwise, every time the view is invalidated, it will have to
update the drawing cache. This is bad for Views that invalidate often,
like MapView.

Because the drawing cache API is a bit difficult to use properly, I
recommend you instead simply create your own Bitmap, create a Canvas
for that Bitmap and then call view.draw(canvas).

[android-developers] Re: Emulator Orientation Change on Mac

[Andrew Stadler]

First, boilerplate answer, you can use

  $ emulator -help-keys

to get an up-to-date list of hotkeys in the emulator.

You didn't mention if you're on a laptop or mac desktop.  I know that
the keyboards are somewhat different.  I can only answer for laptops
because I'm using my laptop right now to test this.

One solution is to press "fn" and type "7".  This works because on a
macbook, there is a virtual numeric keypad (you can see a small set of
numbers, 0..9, on the keys).

The other solution is to type ctrl-F11.  This was put in to provide an
option for mac laptop users.

Hope these help.

[android-developers] Dynamic Overlay

[indiabolbol.com]

How do I update a map dynamically either as the user moves the map.

I tried to use the below code but the map does not display the data
from server

protected class SitesOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay {
private List items = new ArrayList();
private Drawable marker = null;

public SitesOverlay(Drawable marker) {
super(marker);
this.marker = marker;
populateFriends();

}

@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
return (items.get(i));
}

public synchronized void populateFriends() {

// get it from server
items = //Getting data from server here

super.populate();
}

@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean 
shadow) {
super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);
boundCenterBottom(marker);
}

@Override
protected boolean onTap(int i) {
showDialog(i);
return (true);
}

@Override
public int size() {
return (items.size());

}
}

[android-developers] New Android emulator skin for T-Mobile G1

[Jeffrey Sharkey]

The default emulator skin is getting very old after almost a year of
staring at it. :) About a week ago, T-Mobile released an interesting
Flash-based G1 emulator. It’s cute, but you can’t install your apps on
it.

So earlier today I created a new emulator skin using the background
from that Flash player. Just copy the G1 folder into your tools/lib/
images/skins/ folder and launch using the command line below. This
simple scenery change can really help boost motivation:
