[android-developers] Re: ListView Issue in Notepad Application
The answer is in the last post here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/affc088e8843feb5
Since there can be several emulators open at a time, you also have to
open the devices list, and click on your emulator to activate the
logcat output.

[android-developers] Re: AliasActivity: Two Questions
Hmmm.. I tested it again and the startActivity()/finish() seems to be working now. It may have been an issue with an exception that was thrown in the child activity during initialization. I would launch the app, briefly see the entry-point activity, get a first draw of the child, and then a error dialog. When I clicked past the error dialog, I would see the entry-point activity again, then the child activity, then another error dialog that would close the app. I didn't commit my code at that point and don't remember specifics. But slightly related... Is there anyway to prevent the brief view of the redirecting activity's UI? It seems silly to push through start/resume/pause/stop when the app has already requested a new startActivity() or finish() from onCreate(). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Doubt in Notepad Application
1. What is the exact purpose of Intent class? Here's a good overview: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html There's a good discussion on intents and notepad here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_frm/thread/31e6ecd386b29cbe 2. Why do we pass this Intent object to startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_CREATE); method. The intents i defines what which activity is being called next. ACTIVITY_CREATE is just a number so you know which activity returned a result later. 3. What happens at the end of startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_CREATE); method, which method is getting called after that? See activity life-cycle here: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Activity.html The current activity is paused, and another activity is created. 4. What is the purpose of onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) method?? After the new activity closed, your original activity is called again. This function is called for you so that you can see the result. Apart from the examples in the official documentation, here is a nice list of available intents ;-) http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable Would this answer your questions?

Hi Mark, thanks very much for your reply. I imported gdata-core-1.0.jar and gdata-spreadsheet-1.0.jar into my project and the SpreadsheetService class comes from the latter.

Uri mContacts = People.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = People.NUMBER + = + telNo;
String sort = People.NAME + ASC;

selection, null, sort);
startManagingCursor(managedCursor);
if(managedCursor.getCount() 0)

managedCursor.moveToFirst();
return managedCursor.getString(0);

[android-developers] Re: AliasActivity: Two Questions
You may need to give more information on what you are doing. If the flicker you are seeing is happening when you launch your app from the home screen, this is not atually your app but a preview of it based on its theme and such in the manifest. If you can't make this match what will ultimately run, you can set the theme to be something like a dialog so the system won't show it (since without the content a dialog won't look anything like what the user sees). But if you do that, it will feel like the app takes slower to launch. Best is to have the manifest set up so that the preview looks close to what they see so the user can see this while the app is launching. On Oct 13, 6:31 am, Anm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm.. I tested it again and the startActivity()/finish() seems to be working now. It may have been an issue with an exception that was thrown in the child activity during initialization. I would launch the app, briefly see the entry-point activity, get a first draw of the child, and then a error dialog. When I clicked past the error dialog, I would see the entry-point activity again, then the child activity, then another error dialog that would close the app. I didn't commit my code at that point and don't remember specifics. But slightly related... Is there anyway to prevent the brief view of the redirecting activity's UI? It seems silly to push through start/resume/pause/stop when the app has already requested a new startActivity() or finish() from onCreate(). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Uninstall packages API
Hi, I know there is a way to uninstall applications on emulator, using ADB, but that is not available on the phone.

[android-developers] Re: Intent's Extra transfer
The size limit is: keep it as small as possible. Definitely don't put a bitmap in there unless it is no larger than an icon (32x32 or whatever). Regardless of the size limit, having a lot of data in there is going to have a pretty big performance impact, since it needs to first go to the activity manager process, which holds on to it the -entire- time the user can return to the new activity (so that it can be re-created with the same intent), and then copied in to the process of the new activity (which may or may not be your own). Small is good!

[android-developers] Re: Replacing Dialer, IM, and SMS Apps
Sure, the contacts provider is public, and you can handle the action
that is broadcast by the phone button.
Note that in -any- situation where you are replacing an app, the
original application will still be there in the launcher for the user
to see, what it means to replace an app is that you handle the various
Intent activities etc that the built-in one does, so the user can
decide to use your app instead of the built-in one.

[android-developers] Re: OnTouchListener
Touch events are delivered first to the inner-most view that is under
the finger and then, if that view doesn't handle them, up to parents
until either someone handles it or we reach the top of the hierarchy.
If you want to intercept all touch events then you can override
Activity.dispatchTouchEvent(), but this is a -really- rare thing to
want to do and requires special care. If you just want to have a big
view that the user touches in, you can make that your entire content
view and receive touch events there.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when switching orientation
This is a little confusing then, though.

[android-developers] OnTouchListener
I was trying to implement OnTouch Event in my application, where user
could touch (move fingers) anywhere in the screen. I thought the best
way to do that would be, to set OnTouchListener on topmost layout. But
it appears, layouts does not receive all the motion events. Here is a
sample code -
main.xml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:id=@+id/topLayout
android:orientation=vertical
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
TextView
android:id=@+id/txtHello
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:text=Hello!
/
/LinearLayout
public class Hello extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
View topLayout = this.findViewById(R.id.topLayout);
HelloOnTouchListener l = new HelloOnTouchListener();
topLayout.setOnTouchListener(l);
}
class HelloOnTouchListener implements OnTouchListener{
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i(tag, arg0 + + arg1.getAction());
return false;
}
}
private static final String tag = Hello.class.getName();
}
When I touch it prints the ACTION_DOWN MotionEvent, but nothing else.
There is no ACTION_MOVE or ACTION_UP. Am I missing any thing?
I'll really appreciate you help.
Thanks,
Rishi

[android-developers] Re: OnTouchListener
Thanks Hackbod! At this point I don't have OnTouchListener set any where other than top layout. So it's pretty simple. My question was more on why OnTouchListener works differently on layout as compared to other widget (say Button). On button, when you try to drag it, you would receive ACTION_DOWN, ACTION_MOVE or ACTION_UP motion events. But on layout, you never receive any thing other than ACTION_DOWN. Is that expected? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Replacing Dialer, IM, and SMS Apps
Thanks - I figured out that the original app co-exists with the
replacing app and the user has a choice to select either (kinda like
windows). I like that, though it would be awesome if there was a
setting to select the default app.
The follow up to the previous question that I have is - how do I find
out what actions/intent (that are handled by the contacts app) to
override? For example, I found out that to replace the home screen you
need to have the following intent filter in the manifest:
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN/action
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT/
category
category
android:name=android.intent.category.HOME/category
/intent-filter
I found this in the groups - how do I find out the set of actions/
category/data to override for replacing the contacts app? Is there
some documentation by Google on this?

Sure, the contacts provider is public, and you can handle the action

Note that in -any- situation where you are replacing an app, the

to see, what it means to replace an app is that you handle the various
Intent activities etc that the built-in one does, so the user can
decide to use your app instead of the built-in one.

I saw the URI content://sms/inbox after adding the receiver and

You are right! It works fine after returning true in that method. The return statement was generated by eclipse, and I did not pay attention to it. I still don't understand why it acts differently for button. Either way, what appears to have been happening is it does not reach to ACTION_MOVE or ACTION_UP unless ACTION_DOWN is consumed by listener.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when switching orientation
I think we might be talking about a couple of different things. I've got a handle on the leak. What I'm saying is that there seem to be side-effects that change the assumptions of how the think about the lifecycle. From the perspective of the lifecycle and side-effects, I would have expected hitting the curved back arrow and then starting the app to have had the same effect as changing the orientation (except that the former would have had no saved state passed in and the latter would). This isn't the case. One has side-effects that the other doesn't so they behave differently. What about the lag? Even with cleaning up the thread, since it takes a couple of seconds for the system to actually reclaim the memory, a zealous user can still cause an OutOfMemoryError.

Some tips which I learned as I tested this approach:
You indicate that the ViewGroup supports static transformation with:
this.mGroupFlags = this.mGroupFlags |
FLAG_SUPPORT_STATIC_TRANSFORMATIONS;
For the modified transformation to be performed you should return true
from:
boolean getChildStaticTransformation(View child, Transformation t)

The next version of the SDK will make ViewGroup.drawChild() protected
so that you can override dispatchDraw() more safely.
To move, scale and apply transparency to your Views at drawing time,
it's a lot simpler than what you are doing. You can simply override
the getChildStaticTransformation() method (I'm not sure of the exact
name) and make sure your ViewGroup indicates it supports static
transformations. Then simply return the appropriate Transformation
that translates, scales and applies alpha. This is what Gallery does
for instance.

[android-developers] Re: Draw children manually in custom ViewGroup
Note that this is a mistake from us. The flag (actually a setter
method) will be back in the next version of Android. I already made
sure of that.
Without this flag, unfortunately, you need to override ViewGroup's
drawChild()/onLayout() manually and apply the transformation yourself.

Some tips which I learned as I tested this approach:
You indicate that the ViewGroup supports static transformation with:
this.mGroupFlags = this.mGroupFlags |
FLAG_SUPPORT_STATIC_TRANSFORMATIONS;
For the modified transformation to be performed you should return true
from:
boolean getChildStaticTransformation(View child, Transformation t)

The next version of the SDK will make ViewGroup.drawChild() protected

To move, scale and apply transparency to your Views at drawing time,
it's a lot simpler than what you are doing. You can simply override
the getChildStaticTransformation() method (I'm not sure of the exact
name) and make sure your ViewGroup indicates it supports static
transformations. Then simply return the appropriate Transformation
that translates, scales and applies alpha. This is what Gallery does
for instance.

[android-developers] Sticky Broadcasts and Concurrency
I have a component that uses sticky broadcasts to send out state information about itself along the lines of enabled/disabled. By using sticky broadcasts, anybody that needs to check the state of the component (which can be changed at any time by other threads) can stay up to date rather than using a polling mechanism which doesn't guarantee any 'up-to-date-ness'. However, my understanding of the sticky broadcast documentation is that sticky broadcast intents stay around forever unless removed and never replace each other. Since I don't want some huge list of previous intents gumming up the system, and since other components only need the last sticky broadcast, not the whole list, to determine what the current component state is, I use removeStickyBroadcast() to always remove the last intent. As far as I can see however, this leads to concurrency problems. See the following code...

[android-developers] Confused by Android testing framework
I'm attempting to use the JUnit-based testing framework supplied with
Android 1.0r1...and I'm baffled.
I found the tests associated with the ApiDemos in the SDK. In the
AllTests class, it says to run:
adb shell am instrument -w \
com.example.android.apis.tests/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
I do that, and I get:
INSTRUMENTATION_FAILED:
com.example.android.apis.tests/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
and DDMS gives me an Unable to find instrumentation info for... warning.
But, that's OK, I want to run my own tests.
So, in a fresh activityCreator-created project, I:
1. Create an AndroidManifest.xml file:
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
package=xyz.test
android:versionCode=1
android:versionName=1.0.0
application
uses-library android:name=android.test.runner /
/application
instrumentation
android:name=android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
android:targetPackage=xyz
android:label=Tests for the heck of it/
/manifest
2. Make a suite class in my xyz.test package:
public class XYZSuite extends TestSuite {
public static Test suite() {
return(new TestSuiteBuilder(XYZSuite.class)
.includeAllPackagesUnderHere()
.build());
}
}
3. Make a stupid test class in an xyz.test.foo sub-package:
public class SampleTest extends AndroidTestCase {
protected void setUp() {
// do something here
}
protected void tearDown() {
// do something here
}
public void testStupid() {
assert(true);
}
public void testStupider() {
assert(false);
}
}
4. Build and install the APK for all this on the emulator, bundling in a
JAR of classes in the xyz namespace that I (eventually) want to test.
5. Run:
adb shell am instrument -w \
xyz.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner
...and it too fails with INSTRUMENTATION_FAILED. This time, I get a
different warning from DDMS:
Unable to find instrumentation target package: xyz
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Re: Confused by Android testing framework
Mark- I think it would make sense to start with the ApiDemos tests, so that you can (at a minimum) start with a known good quantity. The structure of these is that there are two packages - the Api Demos package itself (com.example.android.apis), and the package of tests that goes with it (com.example.android.apis.tests). So the first thing to do is to make sure that everything built properly and installed properly. It's easy to confirm that the ApiDemos package is on your emulator - you should be able to launch it from the home screen. To look under the covers, use this command: $ adb shell pm list packages | grep example And you should see (among other things) both of the packages I mentioned. If you don't see both packages, then fix that first (no point in launching the instrumentation yet). Finally, when you have instrumentation launch failure, did you take a look at what's happening in adb logcat? As you've discovered, the output from adb shell am instrument is pretty thin; Sometimes you can learn more about the problem from the logcat output. --Andy --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Confused by Android testing framework
As you've figured out, both of your problems are related to having one but not both packages installed. Interestingly, it appears to be the opposite condition: It sounds as if your ApiDemos *tests* are not loaded, but your own app is also not loaded. Yes, you've also figured out that the name packages has been overloaded here. In the context of the package manager, as well as the way that Instrumentation is applied, we are referring here to Android packages, which are mostly typically found in .apk files. In the case of ApiDemos, you'll note that there are two makefiles and two manifests. The android package string is set near the top of each manifest. Anyway, as I said before, at the end of the day for any given app+test pair, you should be able to build both packages, install both packages, and view them using adb shell pm list packages. Only then, try running them --Andy --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Location for common/shared libraries?
In fact, there is already a FreeTTS service set up and available in the Android Market. Once the user downloads it any app can use it.

Is every TTS-enabled application going to include the library as part of its package (thus unnecessarily bloating the device/card's storage) or there is a special location, where shared/common libraries can be installed and reused by many applications. Then, if that's possible, what about versioning? Thanks, Stoyan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

In the context of the package manager, as well as the way that Instrumentation is applied, we are referring here to Android packages, which are mostly typically found in .apk files. snip Anyway, as I said before, at the end of the day for any given app+test pair, you should be able to build both packages, install both packages, and view them using adb shell pm list packages. Only then, try running them Well, that got me further. Sorta. I'm trying to test a library (JAR exposing a public API), not an app. So I tried setting targetPackage to be the closest thing I have to an app, which is a sample app (xyz.sample). That works but claims there are no test cases in xyz.sample. That's absolutely true -- the test cases are in xyz.test -- and I have no idea why it would be looking in xyz.sample for tests when my adb shell command is telling it to run tests in xyz.test. Heck, I don't even know why it cares about xyz.sample in the first place. What seems to work is making targetPackage in the manifest be the test package itself (xyz.test). That at least claims to run the tests, and I see the names of my tests in logcat output. However, the fact that all tests are run twice, and assert(false); passes both times, doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence. But, that's OK. I'll skin the cat some other way. Perhaps I'll circle back to the Android testing framework sometime in the future.
