[Steve Oldmeadow]

All you have to do is reverse the rotation e.g rotate by -rotateMe
after you have drawn the rotated image and then all subsequent draws
will be non rotated.

[android-developers] Re: Executing a different android application through intents.

[friedger]

Hi,

there is a list of publicly known intents at 
http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable

If your app should provide an intent to other apps you have to define
the intent-filter in your manifest.

Feel free to add yours to the above mentioned list.

[android-developers] Question about View, Canvas, and Drawable.. --Basics

[joshbeck]

Hello all,

Is this correct?

View: The android screen is divided up into views. Views are basic
layout objects.

Canvas: You need to have at least one canvas if you want to do any
drawing. Each
view potentially has its own canvas.

Drawable: ---)This is where my 10:30 bedtime turns into a 2:30 am nap
in the chair before work.)
 -What is the difference between a Bitmap and a Drawable?
Can Drawables only be used with ImageView Views?


Thanks for any help.

[android-developers] more problems with opengl in the new sdk

[petunio]

Hi people

I am trying to migrate an opengl sample that it used to work under the
old (3) version of the sdk, and so far, I am not having much
success...

this is my function for setting up the opengl environment:

boolean initOpenGL()
{
egl = (EGL10) EGLContext.getEGL();

display = egl.eglGetDisplay(EGL10.EGL_DEFAULT_DISPLAY);

int[] majorMinor = new int[2];

egl.eglInitialize(display, majorMinor))

int[] numConfigs = new int[1];

egl.eglGetConfigs(display, null, 0, numConfigs);

int configAttributes[] =
   {
EGL10.EGL_RED_SIZE, 5, EGL10.EGL_GREEN_SIZE, 6,
EGL10.EGL_BLUE_SIZE, 5,
EGL10.EGL_ALPHA_SIZE, 0,
EGL10.EGL_DEPTH_SIZE, 16,
// EGL11.EGL_STENCIL_SIZE, EGL11.EGL_DONT_CARE,   // don't
care about stencils
EGL10.EGL_SURFACE_TYPE, EGL10.EGL_WINDOW_BIT,
EGL10.EGL_NONE
};

EGLConfig eglConfigs[] = new EGLConfig[numConfigs[0]];

egl.eglChooseConfig(display, configAttributes, eglConfigs,
eglConfigs.length, numConfigs);

EGLConfig eglConfig = eglConfigs[0];

glc = egl.eglCreateContext(display, eglConfig,
EGL10.EGL_NO_CONTEXT, null);

gl = (GL10) (glc.getGL());

surface = egl.eglCreateWindowSurface(display, eglConfig, mHolder,
null);

egl.eglMakeCurrent(display, surface, surface, glc);
}


The program crashes when calls "eglCreateWindowSurface()"
The only thing I am not sure about in this function, is the parameter
mHolder, which I got it like this:


class myView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback
{

SurfaceHolder mHolder;

public myView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
   {
super(context, attrs);

mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_GPU);
   }


}

Also, there are two strange things:
- the override methods
   surfaceCreated, surfaceDestroyed, and surfaceChanged are never
being called
-in the adb logcat I get the following message after calling
"eglGetDisplay()":
"GLLogger couldn't load  library (cannot find library)"



does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?
plase!

[android-developers] Any tool to analyze the memory?

[qvark]

Hi,

we are having problems in our application with Out of Memory after
executing several times the same set of activities, so we suspect we
are leaking memory somehow.

All the activities seem to be destroyed correctly, but the DDMS plugin
shows the memory increasing. The problem is we can see the memory
leaking but we don't know where! Do you know any way to generate a
memory dump and analyze it using a more powerful tool than the DDMS?

Thanks,

Jose Luis.

[android-developers] Extending ACTION_PICK ?

[Jake Maui]

 Is there a way that anyone knows of to extend the view of the image picker?
In particular, I'd like to decorate the image to indicate the the image has
some property.

Thx in advance ...


  private OnClickListener buttonListener = new OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View v) {
   Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
   photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
   startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, PHOTO_SELECT);

 }
  };

[android-developers] Re: Exact Battery level value

[Ian]

AnyCut is available in the Market.

But its not AnyCut that is giving you the extra battery info, it is
only providing you with a shortcut to a Android app that displays the
battery info.

So that code must be somewhere in the android code base!

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL Basics

[JavaAndroid]

Hi Smith,
Thanks a Million for ur response..After going through several
times i m able to understand GLSurfaceView to some extent.but
still some portion of the code remains obscure
Correct me if am wrong.it looks like the animation which we want
to display should be implemented in the form of Renderer classand
that Renderer instance has to be passed to GLThread classGLThread
class takes care of displaying the Animation.

Having Said that, we must purely concentrate on CubeRenderer Class and
Cube class.is that correct???

Thanks in Advance

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: getCurrentLocation

[Bobbie]

The code I am using to get the location is very simple:

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(lm.getBestProvider(new Criteria(),
true));

When I get the location, it's always a "network" location.  If I hard
code it and replace "lm.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true)" with
"gps" the application crashes.

[android-developers] Re: My new issue...How can I select a song from playlist available in phone (or) Emulator ...

[yasmin afrose]

Hi,

I didn't get any idea. I've added the following line in *PrankActivity.java*


startActivity(new Intent(

"com.aspire.android.prankapp.GetSongNameActivity"))

above line instead of

startService(" ") ;

Then,

I've modified the code within onStart() under PrankService.java

String action = intent.getAction();

String path = "E:/yasmin.matharussain/personal/entertain/A.R Hits/";

if(((action!=null)&&action.equals("com.aspire.android.prankapp.GetSongNameActivity"))&&!(getString(R.id.songname).equals(""))){

//setContentView(R.layout.splash);

path = path+getString(R.id.songname);

player = new MediaPlayer();

try {

player.setDataSource(path);

} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {

// *TODO* Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IllegalStateException e) {

// *TODO* Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

// *TODO* Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

}else{

player = MediaPlayer.*create*(*this*, R.raw.*airtel*);

}

Then I've created one new file as *GetSongNameActivity.java*

package com.aspire.android.prankapp;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class GetSongNameActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener
{
 TextView songname;
 Button proceed;

 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.songname);

songname = (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.songname);

proceed = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.proceed);
proceed.setOnClickListener(this);
}

 public void onClick(View v) {

  if(songname!=null){
Log.i("Song Name :",songname.toString());
startService(new
Intent("com.aspire.android.prankapp.START_AUDIO_SERVICE"));
  }else{
   Log.i("Song Name :", songname.toString());
  }

 }


}

Then I've created one more new file as *songname.xml*



http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";

>















But,

I can't get the output. User enters "Song Name" using the layout of *
songname.xml*
But, always the else part is worked ( I've marked that fully  else part as *red
color*).

FYI: I have a bug open against Android for not respecting the

[android-developers] Is the address of a contact really held in POSTAL_LOCATION_LATITUDE ?

[jarkman]

I'm trying to fetch location data for contacts.

When I look in the Contacts.ContactMethods.POSTAL_LOCATION_LATITUDE
field, hoping to get a latitude, I find I actually get the postal
address of the contact !

Is that just a bug, or is there really a latitude for the contact in
there somewhere ?

Thanks,

Richard

[android-developers] Re: camera events

So if I want to capture images and send them to a website, I need to

program?  Would sure be nicer to just catch the event from a different
app.

Hey Mark,

Could you describe your scenario a little bit more?

Testing openOptionsMenu in MenuInflateFromXml worked, add to the end of
onCreate:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
openOptionsMenu();
}
}, 1000);

[android-developers] Installing Android on different Handsets than G1?

[MArtin Schumacher]

Hi Group,

I'm living in Germany, so there is no access to the G1 right now. Also
as far as I know the G1 will come with a 2 year subscription from t-
mobile...

So my idea is to deploy the Android System on another handset. I have
a spare Samsung I600 (comparable with the Samsung BlackJack 1) lying
here. So it should be possible to install Android on it (removing the
existing windows mobile).

Am I right? Is there any possibility? What - exept building Android -
do I have to do? Which requirements do I have to keep an eye on?

Are there any hints, links etc for me?

MArtin

[android-developers] When is View ready?

[Grigory F.]

Hi All,

im playing around with Snake-Example. I wish a new start-screen for
this, with buttons like "play", "highscore" and so ... you know?
well, ich create new xml-layout with buttons. i do
setContentView(R.layout.start_layout);  to get it up - it works.
on onClick of "play"-button i do
setContentView(R.layout.snake_layout); to get the snake-screen visible
and i do start the game.
the problem is, it seems  TileView.onSizeChanged was not called, so X/
Y-counts are empy and i run in the crash.

Can anyone say me, how can i detect, what the snake-view is finished
with the draw itself?

thanks at all.

[android-developers] Bluetooth Availability? Timeframe?

[USAePay]

I am sure this issue has probably been talked about before but I could
not find a lot of information by searching this group as to when the
SDK will support Bluetooth for applications.

I have read that the bluetooth was locked down for security but that
it may be released in the next SDK release but I can not find a
timeframe for that release.

A lot of people have complained that Bluetooth is a very important
piece to the success of the phone and I can not agree more. For those
that argue that iPhone has the same thing have to realize that
comparing the market value of the iPhone to a phone like the G1 is
absurd. If anything the G1 NEEDS to have Bluetooth available just so
it CAN compete against the iPhone.

I hope to hear some good news about the Bluetooth, it will be a shame
if bluetooth will continue to go unsupported in the SDK. Thanks in
advance.

[android-developers] Re: Recorder Audio

[mesak82]

I'm using Sound Recorder application and after recording I cannot see
that audio in the playback list in Music application, but it's on the
SD card.

Sound Recorder also stores recorded audio in raw format? Is it
expected not to see the recorded file in playback lists?

Rgrds,
Misa

Hi,

How is the framework and the corresponding library files are linked

If anybody have worked on this, please reply.

Unfortunately, probably not. To do it correctly, there is some

[android-developers] Clickable ListView item with CheckBox

[Chris McCurdy]

I have a ListView with a complex widget for displaying list items. It
has a CheckBox and several TextViews. I want to be able to handle
clicks to the CheckBox and be able to do the normal things on the list
item when anywhere that's not the CheckBox is clicked (e.g. context
menus, onListItemClick(), etc.). The problem is that when the CheckBox
is visible, it removes the ability for any other part of the item to
receive clicks, even if the CheckBox itself isn't receiving the click
events. Is there any way to prevent it from "stealing" the click
events from the rest of the items in the widget?


Here is the XML layout of the widget for every list item I'm using:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_gravity="top"
android:gravity="top" android:id="@+id/TransactionRowPortrait">

[android-developers] Re: AppMarket: does changing title/description of an app wipe out ratings and reviews?

[atrus123]

IIRC, you can change the title/desc without it wiping out ratings,
etc.

I hope Google fixes this soon.  I try and do frequent updates for my
users, and I hate seeing all their ratings/comments go away every time
I add a feature.

I can't comment on the G1 specifically, but magnetic compasses are
frequently scarily inaccurate if there's any metal around --- try it in
different locations (but pointing in the same direction!) to see if the
deflection varies from place to place.

(Once scuba diving I found myself swimming in almost literal circles
because I was a few metres away from an old magnetised torpedo, that was
causing a complete 180° deflection. Even unmagnetised metal has a severe
effect. Of course, if you're *not* standing on top of a lump of iron,
+/- 46° does seem like a lot.)

[android-developers] Background activities

[brs]

What is the simplest, correct way to implement an application with
background semantics similar to the media player?  To  the user it
should appear as an activity which can be kept running in the
background and "iconized" to the notification bar whenever the
activity is not on top of the stack or until stopped explicitly.

I guess some of the choices would be:

a) An activity which ignores onPause/onStop and just keeps doing
whatever it is doing (simple, but I suspect not the recommended
way...)
b) Activity + in-process service
c) Activity + service with its own process

Assuming the solution involves a service, what are the choices for
sharing a fair amount of state between the activity and its service?
Can they just access shared objects (how to set that up) or does it
require an AIDL RPC interface storing everything in a database
instead?

Currently, the desktop widgets are hard code into launcher. They`re
just some views.
I think one way is write your own launcher and add
your widget, base on the open sourced launcher.

You're looking for a service. Unless you have a good reason not to do

[android-developers] NinePatchDrawable - how to use?

[Ludwig]

Is there any example out there on how to use a NinePatchDrawable
programmatically?
I need to draw a text label inside one -- essentially for a map-pin with
variable length text in it.

Any usage examples out there (of whatever kind), from the online doc it is
just a complete mystery to me how to use it.

[android-developers] Re: Sending email

[Justin (Google Employee)]

Yes, you should be able to install the Email program's APK on the
emulator. You could download the Android source and compile Email and
then install on the emulator. Alternately I know there is a project
that has forked (but will hopefully merge back their changes) the
email client and there is a binary distribution you can get from
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/ . I haven't tried it, but this should
install on the emulator. Please let us know your results if you try
this.

Cheers,
Justin

[android-developers] Re: Android on device GPS locate not working - code included

[Amir]

Thanks, I'm still having issues, but now I do see the GPS 'icon' as
turned on when the application is running.  The issue though is that I
don't get anything on the map through our online site...no longitude
and latitude, or anything else.

Here's the revised code I'm using:

package org.gw.service;

import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;

public class LocationService extends AService {
 LocationManager lm = null;
 Location loc = null;
 public int excute() {
 getDataMap().put(Command, LOCATION);

 if (isOk()) {
  lm = (LocationManager)
getContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
  loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("gps");
  if(loc == null)
   loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("network");
  double sLatitude = loc.getLatitude();
double sLongitude = loc.getLongitude();
 String location = sLatitude+","+sLongitude;
  //location = "40.738412973944534,-73.98468017578125";
 getDataMap().put(Des, "OK");
 getDataMap().put(Value, location);
 } else {
 getDataMap().put(Des, "error password!!");
 }
 new ServiceClient(this).excute();

 return 0;
}
}

[android-developers] Re: delete my app on G1

[Ian]

Without causing offence, its actually a very cool feature that most
people either have found out for them selfs, or read about.
(The ability to "pick-up" and move/drag/drop desktop icons)

[android-developers] Re: Folders in main "Start" menu/tab?

[Kipling Inscore]

I don't think you can with the built-in drawer but you could write a
replacement home screen and/or drawer. The Launcher code is available
on source.android.com if you don't want to start from scratch.
I think it would be a good idea, if the required information can be
compiled into the apk through AndroidManifest.xml, to have a drawer
that automatically organizes icons by type and category and allows
searching for applications.

[android-developers] Orientation Sensor yaw values. Is your G1 compass bad?

[bryan]

I've been trying to figure out the cause of a compass related error
for a while. After debugging and standing out in the rain slowly
spinning in circles for a while, I finally found out that my device is
reporting back yaw values inconsistently.

For example, the range of offset from magnetic north is +/- 46
degrees. The average offset is just under 20 degrees. Depending on how
I orient my G1, the error can go to 46 degrees off of magnetic north.
Has anyone here experienced similar results when reading yaw from the
sensor? I've gotten a number of reports from others complaining about
inaccuracy with compass type results and am wondering if this is a per
phone error or if all of the G1s have poor yaw/orientation sensors.

This is not the mailing list for Android source code support:

Choose one of the "Open source mailing lists" shown on that page,

[android-developers] Re: Android for flip phones and smaller devices

[Kipling Inscore]

I think four directions, click and menu are the minimum. Of course
software modifications will have to be done to make this work. An
on-screen keyboard using direction and click would be needed for many
(but not all) applications. The four buttons on the G1 are also
important but the core software can be modified to add these functions
to all menus (or have a long-press menu that provides only these).

the default drawer is definitely a disaster once you start installing

Attach a WebViewClient, implement shouldOverrideUrlLoading(), and handle 
retrieving and showing the page yourself.

The answer is in Settings/BatteryInfo, thanks to Ian for pointing out

We have a trusted one at our software company which is working but I wanted
to add an option to trust self signed certificate in the application.
I still don't have a solution for that, except using URLConnection API which
works well with the AllowAllHostnameVerifier. The problem is with the
HTTPClient API.

[android-developers] Folders in main "Start" menu/tab?

[Ian]

I now have a lot of installed apps, and I want to organise them in the
pull-up-menu/tab.
But it is not possible to create folders?
I know I could copy all icons to the desktop with my folders there,
but that is something else.

It works just fine with GPS.

getCurrentLocation() was removed. My guess is that they didn't want this 
to be a blocking call, waiting for GPS to get a fix.

You didn't provide us with the error message. You didn't provide us with 
sample source code that raises the error message. As a result, it is 
somewhat difficult to provide concrete assistance.

Generally speaking, you need to do two things:

1. Ensure you have the appropriate permissions (e.g., 
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

2. Ensure somebody is asking your desired location provider for updates, 
otherwise getLastKnownLocation() may be perpetually null.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications

[Dan B.]

isn't there some way to check the version against the Market instead
of having to host version information somewhere else? I know the app
Locale somehow knows when an update is available, it seems reasonable
to query the Market rather than relying on outside sources :\

[android-developers] Re: Folders in main "Start" menu/tab?

[hackbod]

Put your apps on the home screen, in their own folders if you want.
Is there any particular reason you want to have a whole other facility
to organize things in the set of all apps?  To me it just makes them
harder to get to -- if you put them in a folder on the home screen,
you can launch with two clicks, but in the drawer you'd have to first
bring up the drawer, then dig down to the app, then launch it.

The minimum hardware requirements are currently the G1.  That will

[android-developers] Re: Orientation Sensor yaw values. Is your G1 compass bad?

[mitush]

In the process of writing an app for my G1 I think I got stuck with
similar problem. Running Orienteer application (from the Market)
confirms that; turning my G1 by 360 degrees while holding it flat, the
reading on the Orienteer compass goes between 0 and 90 degrees only.
The same thing happens when using compass view with the maps/street
view, here I could only get about 90 degrees view angle as well (in
other words I cannot see other side of the street and other direction
of the street).

The funny thing is that, in my G1 app I was listening and logging
SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION_RAW values and earlier today the
returned values had the range of 360 degrees, and I have the log file
to prove it was not a dream :) When I run the same app now, it shows
limited range values only, consistent with Orienteer . As if something
got broken between now and few hours ago. I also recall that when I
tried compass/map/streetview few days ago, I was able to rotate my
view without any constraints.

There is not much metal around, I tried changing my location as well.
For a second, I though it could be the car, which my wife parked
outside the house an hour ago, but Orienteer shows the same problem
even 120 ft away in the backyard. I did not drop G1 or did anything of
that sort.

The interpreted stack overflowed, causing a StackOverflowException.
Something likely caught it and then failed with a
NullPointerException.  The stack trace points to a "finally" block in
ViewRoot.draw(), which means something in the associated "try" block
threw the NPE.

The likely cause is that your view hierarchy is too deep.  If you can
break on StackOverflowException in the Eclipse debugger you should be
able to see the point of the throw and the full contents of the stack.

[android-developers] Re: Orientation Sensor yaw values. Is your G1 compass bad?

[mitush]

I have connected G1 to my PC and Compass (Orienteer) and my app
started to get good and consistent readings from the sensor again.
After I disconnected, Orienteer sort of works (has 360 range), but the
north is off by 0-50 degrees depending on orientation and  a little
jumpy.

Might be a battery power issue then. My battery is 97% (immediately
after PC disconnect). Will check Orienteer again later.

[android-developers] CPU control API?

[denismo]

Hi,

I heard on ARM CPU it is possible to set low-power consumption
options, to reduce power consumption at the cost of speed or features.
Is it possible to control these options using Android API?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Andriods SAXParser

[Jakob Sachse]

I am facing a problem when using Androids SAXParser.
It throws DOMExceptions where the J2SE SAXParser (xerces) doesn't.

I am trying to find the sources for Androids SAXParserFactory (to see
how it chooses the SAXParser to return) and the SAXParser itself, but
I coulnd't find them.

In Debug mode i can see the fully qualified names of the classes I am
interested in is:

- org.apache.harmony.xml.parsers.SAXParserImpl
- org.apache.harmony.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactoryImpl


I have read that "org.apache.harmony" is probably a replacement for
"java" to mark that its the harmony implementation. anyhow, all i can
find are the abstract super classes but not the implementations.

Has anyone more experience and could help me with this?

[android-developers] Re: Problems writing to SD card of physical T-Mobile G1?

[mitush]

*** also posted on T-mobile G1 forum ***
I have received the update, so my "Use for USB Storage" was replaced
by the notification.

But where is the option to unmount the USB disk, while G1 is still
connected to the PC? I am writing a G1 app which writes to the sdcard
and, when debugging/testing, I have to constantly cycle through open
notifications-click-mount then look at the files on PC and then
phisically disconnect-reconnect US. Before the update, it was just a
single click both ways. If android developers read this, could you
please give us an otion to unmount as well?

[android-developers] Testing internationalization...

[atrus123]

Hello,

I'm currently working to add international variations to my app, but
I'm not sure how to test them.  Is there some way in the emulator or
the phone to mimic being in the UK?

I'm handling international variations by using the values-en-rUK/
method.  Should there always be a generic values/ folder in case there
is a user outside those countries or will that always trump the
others?

Also, is there a schedule as to when the G1 will be released in
countries other than the US and the UK?

Thank you for any insight.

[android-developers] Camera preview on G1 only works in landscape ?

[jarkman]

I'm using camera preview on the G1, using code from CameraPreview in
ApiDemos.

I'm seeing the preview image appear stretched & rotated unless my
screen orientation is set to 'landscape' in the manifest.

I can reproduce the same effect by changing the manifest for ApiDemos,
setting the screen orientation for .graphics.CameraPreview to
portrait.

I'd love to know if this is a bug in the Camera class, or if there is
some way I can work around this behaviour in my code, perhaps by
telling the Camera or SurfaceHolder something about orientation.

Thanks!

Richard

make an identical looking and functioning frontend.  Now I just need
to know the API...maybe I can Wireshark my G1's packets...
