[android-developers] Re: How to send email programmatically?
Ok how would I implement the 'send form'. Do you mean that I should launch a web browser and use some webmail type of application hosted on a server? I was thinking about the Email Outbox. How can I put a simple text message as an email in the Outbox? I know I could do this long long ago with Palm OS ver3.0. Hope there is a way to do it on Android. - Sunit On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 5:25 PM, Andrew Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you don't want to direct the user to the typical send form, then you're > going to have to either try and adapt an existing java based mailer to > android or write an SMTP client from scratch.

[android-developers] Intent to open an email attachment
I'd like my activity to be able to open a file attached to an email. To open a file downloaded in the browser, I set up the following intent filter: I assume I would do something similar to open an email attachment, possibly with a different intent category. I could try matching using scheme+authority+path instead of mime type, but I have no idea what values to use for received emails. Has anyone done this, or seen it done? Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Popup Menu Over Dialogs
So I asked this over in the beginner forum and no one seemed to have an answer for me. Does anyone know how to have a menu pop up over a dialog? The documentation seems to imply that it is possible, but, being new to all of this, I don't quite know what to do from their short description. public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) It is usually safe to proxy this call to the owner activity's onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu) if the client desires the same menu for this Dialog. Can someone help me understand what this means? Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: UI Update question
After reading the Handler documentation, I got the clarification:
because mUpdateResults Thread will run on the thread to which this
handler is attached whereas new Thread will run on another thread
other than the UI thread.
Is this correct?

[android-developers] UI Update question
Below is a snippet from google
http://code.google.com/android/kb/commontasks.html#threading
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
[ . . . ]
// Need handler for callbacks to the UI thread
final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
// Create runnable for posting
final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
updateResultsInUi();
}
};
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
[ . . . ]
}
protected void startLongRunningOperation() {
// Fire off a thread to do some work that we shouldn't do
directly in the UI thread
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
mResults = doSomethingExpensive();
mHandler.post(mUpdateResults);
}
};
t.start();
}
private void updateResultsInUi() {
// Back in the UI thread -- update our UI elements based on
the data in mResults
[ . . . ]
}
}
As per the best practice, we are supposed to update UI components via
handler as shown above.
My question, the Runable thread mUpdateResults can update UI directly
but not the thread created in startLongRunningOperation..
For eg. can we rewrite the code as follows:
protected void startLongRunningOperation() {
// Fire off a thread to do some work that we shouldn't do
directly in the UI thread
Thread t = new Thread() {
public void run() {
mResults = doSomethingExpensive();
updateResultsInUi(); // updating UI here.
}
};
t.start();
}

[android-developers] Question on Service Choice
Main question: Is there a special reason why ServiceStartArguments uses a PendingIntent based on AlarmService.class instead of ServiceStartArgumentsController? For my own education: I'm trying to decide which example of the services I should be modeling my networking code after in order to get the desired functionality. Basically, my app is storing data that will be uploaded when 1) the user hits a button or 2) on startup if not all the data has been uploaded yet. The uploading is naturally taking place in the background while the app runs. I'm planning on running it in the same process, as I don't seem to have a burning need to do otherwise, so I'm assuming I don't need IPC for it. I'm also assuming that, because the other services never die upon backing out of the app, that if the user backs out of my app the uploading will not be interrupted. I'm not way off base here, am I? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Sending HTML email with GMail installed on G1
Hello, I'm trying to send HTML email using the GMail package installed on the T-Mobile G1. What I'm finding is that regardless of the content-type I specify, the message body is always translated into both text/plain and text/html ; however, the html is escaped (e.g. "<" becomes "<") so it does not display as html in the receiving email client. Here's how I'm setting up the Intent: String[] addresses = {aAddress}; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, addresses); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, aSubject); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, aBody); intent.setType("text/html"); startActivity(newIntent); The email I receive looks something like this: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_Part_494_24247511.1226466478922" --=_Part_494_24247511.1226466478922 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Here's a property you might want to look at:149 Ashbury, San Francisco, CA, 94117View in Puluwai | http://www.agencylogic.com/googlebase/149Ashbury-com ">Browser --=_Part_494_24247511.1226466478922 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inlineHere's a property you might want to look at:

[android-developers] Re: disable home button
Dianne explained how Toddler Lock does it, and it's very different from what you do. You are disguising your application as a Home screen, which it is NOT. And both solutions (Toddler Lock and yours) are shortcomings of the system that need to be (and will be) fixed. It is perfectly normal to provide a new sort of lock screen but we need to provide you with the right APIs to do it. We unfortunately could not do it for 1.0 and I am deeply sorry for this. But that does not justify doing things like your solution :) On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 8:02 PM, zl25drexel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > well i am writting a screen lock app. so i need to lock all buttons. > The toddler lock is one of the most popular apps in the market, and it > does similar trick to disable the home button. so why cant i do the > same? > > On Nov 11, 10:43 pm, hackbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Oh good lord.

This is a known bug.

[android-developers] Drawable doesn't load sometimes
Hi, guys. I load Drawables (jpeg pictures) from URLs the following way: URL urlO = new URL(url); URLConnection urlC = urlO.openConnection(); InputStream is = urlC.getInputStream(); return Drawable.createFromStream(is, url); It's funky that sometimes it returns null and sometimes some incompletely loaded drawable. I see the following errors in the log: 11-11 22:01:41.693: DEBUG/skia(1314): xx failure to skip request 3954 actual 3372 11-11 22:01:41.693: DEBUG/skia(1314): xxx jpeg error 91 Miscellaneous marker 0x%02x, length %u As I understand Drawable is somehow asynchronously loaded. How would you recommend me go around this issue? I use those drawables for example as markers on the map. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: does android phone have a IP address?
As a general rule, you shouldn't expect that anyone will be able to connect to an Android phone directly - in most circumstances the IP addresses that those devices get either aren't routable or aren't reachable.

[android-developers] Re: disable home button
Please, do NOT do this. You are ruining the user experience. First of all, your application will be offered to the user every time the user really wants to go Home (for instance, after booting the phone) but your application is NOT a Home screen. Then you are preventing the user from always recovering his workflow by going back to a safe and known state, the Home screen from where he can access the settings and launch other apps. What you are doing is a disservice to your users and to your application.

[android-developers] Re: disable home button
answering my own question again: to disable home button, make your activity a home activity (see samples/HOME in the SDK) then use pm = getPackageManager(); pm.addPackageToPreferred(getPackageName()); in your activity's oncreate() method to make your home activity the preferred home activity, that way your app will stay on when the home button is pressed by the user. remember remove that preference when your activity is stopped.

[android-developers] Re: Signing Apps for a external testing group
The certificate is only checked at install time, so if you create a certificate that expires in 60 days that only prevents that .apk from being installed after 60 days; any current installs will continue to work. And anyway, if someone wants to continue to use your app, they can just take your .apk, and repackage and sign its contents with their own certificate. I would strongly recommend against using multiple certificates, since if someone has the app installed with one certificate, to install another version with a different certificate they will need to first uninstall the current version, deleting all existing data.

Hi g1ster - are you running on the G1 or the emulator? On the emulator, I've followed the steps people described above, but still run into the problem with constant AudioStreamInGeneric messages and an eventual RuntimeException that says "start failed." I don't see anything in DDMS that indicates what the underlying problem might be; I'm wondering if it just isn't supported on the emulator.

The in call screen is an implementation detail. You need to use Intent.ACTION_CALL and let the system find the proper activity to launch.

[android-developers] Re: Any way to have two MediaRecorders recording at once?
Ok, I thought that may be the case. I need to create a "sliding window" effect in the recording, so that there is always 15 seconds of audio history recorded. I wanted to stair-step two 20-second recorders so that every 5 seconds I would delete one audio recording file when its "history" got too long, then restart it. In this way, there would at most be two files of 20 seconds of audio on the SDcard and not get too large. I can concatenate two .amr recordings, but I have to indroduce a 100ms delay between stopping one recording and starting the next, otherwise I get the same "Record channel already open" error. This delay of course causes a skip in the audio file where 100ms of audio is omitted. Since can't have two recorders recording, is there any way to: - direct the audio recording stream to multiple files? - buffer the audio recording so that I can manage the recording size in-memory? - other creative ideas to accomplish the "sliding window" effect?

Because it's a lot of work to perform in software: you are compositing
a fullscreen scaled and translucent bitmap. Android does not offer 2D

[android-developers] Re: Trouble with SoundPool
I'm in the same boat - I've got an app idea that needs to be able to do realtime analysis of the sound being recorded - this doesn't seem to be possible yet either. I guess we can only hope for it in a later revision, or work on adding such things in ourselves. - michael --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: progress dialog
The way I do this is how the market app does it - show a placeholder image that's in your resources directory, then have a thread load the real image and update when it's fetched that. Not too hard to do. You can also do this when the particular list row is in view, see the samples, in the API Demos section, look for List13.java. - michael --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

It is. However, Android is an open source project, and those who busted their asses to build the system get to call the shots at the outset -- not you, and not me.

[android-developers] InCallScreen is not public
I want to pass the intent to InCallScreen directly so that my intent won't be intercepted by another app: Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, uri); newIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER, number); newIntent.setClass(this, InCallScreen.class); newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); this.startActivity(newIntent); But InCallScreen is not in the public SDK 1.0.

Awesome. I look forward to that.
Is there any talk of exposing the audio buffer for direct input to the

I need to synthesize that so without being able to "fling" my audio

[android-developers] RingtoneManager question
hi i found what was problem with my application (thread differences between emulator (1.0rc1) and actual device (g1) ). problem is not with list of checkboxes, but somehow ringtone manager shows same id for two different ringtones! how its possible? both ringtones are created from music file and both have id 15 RingtoneManager mRingtoneManager=new RingtoneManager(this); mRingtoneManager.setIncludeDrm(true); Cursor cursor=mRingtoneManager.getCursor(); now when i list cursor for id and title cursor.moveToPosition(position); long realid=cursor.getLong(RingtoneManager.ID_COLUMN_INDEX); String text=cursor.getString(RingtoneManager.TITLE_COLUMN_INDEX); i find that there are 2 ringtones with id 15 which have different title! how its possible? how can i distinct which alarm is which? by name? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to get the Screen Width and Height?
You can get the size of the usable area by asking your activity's top- level view (typically a layout object) for its width and height. Make sure your XML file defines an ID for it, then use getViewById to get the view. That width and height will be the screen size less the status bar and title bar (if present), and will vary depending on the device orientation. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Service Permission
Be sure you install the .apk providing the permission before the one
using it. You can see what permissions your app has been granted by
digging through the output of "adb shell dumpsys package".
Also PLEASE DO NOT use the name "android.permission." The namespaces
"android.* and "com.android.*" are reserved for the android platforms,
and applications MUST NOT USE THEM.

[android-developers] Re: AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP Not Waking Device?
Yes, for both these things, you need to hold a partial wake lock to
keep the phone from turning off.

[android-developers] Re: Animation seems slow
Hmmm...ok - I thought that it might be trying to set the view to
invisible while the animation is going on and that might cause some
choppiness. You're saying that that is not the case? How can I make
the animation smoother and snappier?

[android-developers] Re: Animation seems slow
I moved to using an AnimationListener to make the view invisible at
the end of the animation. That seems more correct now but it still
doesn't improve the speed or smoothness (yes - i want to know how to
do that too) of the animation.
Here is my listener :
class TestAnimListener implements AnimationListener {
@Override
public void onAnimationEnd(Animation arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gv.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
@Override
public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onAnimationStart(Animation arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
and I set it on the animation as follows:
a.setAnimationListener(new TestAnimListener());

[android-developers] Re: Text mask
all right, answering my own question again.
i figured out how to achieve that effect, adjust the matrix and the
gradient parameter to adjust effect to your own liking.
txtPaint = new Paint();
txtPaint.setColor(Color.GRAY);
txtPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
txtPaint.setTextSize(25);
shader = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 200, 0,
new int[]{Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120),
Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120), Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255)}, new
float[]{0, 0.7f, 1}, TileMode.MIRROR);
txtPaint.setShader(shader);
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
float elapsed = (now - lastTime)/7;
dx+= elapsed;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setTranslate(dx, 0);
shader.setLocalMatrix(matrix);
canvas.drawText("Text mask effect", 0, 25, txtPaint);
lastTime = now;
invalidate();
}

[android-developers] Re: AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP Not Waking Device?
Maybe PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, looking at it now... interesting.

Battle of the quotes, from: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Service.html "Other application components running in the same process as the service (such as an Activity) can, of course, increase the importance of the overall process beyond just the importance of the service itself.

[android-developers] Re: Best approach to fullscreen video?
The following are for the T-Mobile G1, other Android devices will likely have different specs based on their hardware capabilities: H.264 AVC baseline, H.263, and MPEG4-SP codecs are supported in a 3GPP container file. H.264 AVC is also supported in an MP4 container. The H.264 AVC format is preferred due to support for h/w acceleration. Video size up to 480x320, with video bit rates up to 600K bps average. Make sure you disable b-frames (not supported in baseline). VideoView adjusts the surface size based on the reported aspect ratio from the video. If you want it to fill the display, make sure that the video aspect ratio matches the screen aspect ratio.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Service Permission
Thanks a lot for analyzing the problem.
First, my comment on your second point -
This I had already been doing - as in the client application's
manifest, the service application's manifest too has this entry under
the manifest tag:
Now coming to the first point, I changed the client code line from -
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
to
Intent intent = new Intent("com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService");
After the change, it seems the service is identified and the earlier
warning message -
"Unable to start service Intent{ comp={com.abc.xyz.client/
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }:not found "
is not coming.
But then the permission related SecurityException is coming at the
client statement "startService(intent)" as below:
- WARN/PackageManager(57): Not granting permission
android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE to package
com.abc.xyz.client (protectionLevel=3 flags=0x44)
- ERROR/AndroidRuntime(): ERROR: thread attach failed
- WARN/ActivityManager(57): Permission Denial: Accessing service
ComponentInfo{com.abc.xyz/com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} from
pid=57, uid=1000 requires android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
- ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1120): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to
start activity ComponentInfo{com.abc.xyz.client/
com.abc.xyz.client.ClientActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Not
allowed to start service Intent
{ action=com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService } without permission
android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
I think I am missing something with the declaration of permission in
the manifest(s). What is your opinion?
Thanks,
Raktim.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Actually, thank you - you WERE correct - onCreate is NOT being called
for this Activity.
I tried doing a wait() for 5 - then 30 seconds on the onCreate
callback being called - the wait timed out... Hmmm how to force
an Activity to properly initialize itself.

By default, the MediaPlayer volume should be set to 1.0, i.e. no

Which stream type are you using when you create the MediaPlayer? Have
you checked to make sure that the master stream volume is set
correctly?

According to my logCat readout - onCreate was already called a while
back - time to drill in deeper I guess.
I'm wondering why my attempt to install my own Instrumentation object
doesn't appear to be working (at least, none of the lifecycle
callbacks are talking to me).

Yep, it's possible that I got my life cycle out of order .. working on

I could think of some quite useful applications that would utilize
automated calling.
Leave a voice or text message for a bunch o' people. Try to contact
computer support or the IRS every 15 minutes - if someone actually
picks up, then transfer the call to the user ...
Yes, I suppose the latter capability could be used in a malicious way
e.g., to stalk someone - however, there's something called a "Previous
Number Dialed" button which can be used to do the same thing manually.

Yes, that situation already came up in the case of Applets ...
download an Applet - it will steal your passwords, start emailing

etc...
See:

Not saying you're wrong - Android designers may have indeed been
afraid of this but if there are limitations they should be enumerated
somehow - sigh.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
We also have an update notification feature in SAM. If you update you application version at SlideME site, the user will receive a notification, allowing them to download the new version. This does require, however, that the user have downloaded the application through SAM.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
It would be cool if google added the ability to check your version against the market, but for the time being, I'm fine with using a version URL as you described. But I'm still fuzzy on one thing, is there an action available to launch the market app directly to your product page? Example: -user opens app -app checks update url finds new version exists -app presents dialog box - "click ok to goto the Android Market" -user clicks ok -new intent launches android market with your app's content_id Does anyone know if a simple solution like that currently exists, or do we just have to notify the user about the update, and tell them to goto the market? Also in regards to the OI Update app, is there a way to require it be installed as well, or would my app have to download and install it directly on it's first run? And would that even be possible if the user never checked off "Allow Non-Market Apps"?

So you click the icon, then you click the extended notification bar's one option, then you select an option.

[android-developers] Re: "Cannot finish download. There is not enough space."
I've checked the code, and there is no difference whatsoever between the download code in RC19 and RC28/29/30. If anyone runs into this issue and has their device configured to run adb, the following information could help me diagnose what's going on: -the result of "adb shell df" -any line output by "adb logcat" that contains the string "DownloadManager".

[android-developers] progress dialog
I am having a little problem of using progress dialog. Trying to figure out how and the optimal way of using the progress dialog. My application needs to grab information from different servers, so I am trying to show the progress dialog at the appropriate moment. I am trying to use a gallery to grab different images. At the start of the activity, I will have a pop up that says loading, and then spin off a different thread to start retrieving images in the background and store the images in a bitmap array. And once I get the first few images, the thread would send a message to the activity to let it know that it can set up the adapter and start displaying the first few images. The user then can start flipping through different images. In the adapter getView method, I will check the bitmap array from the thread to see if the image in the specific position that the user is trying to view is loaded yet. If the bitmap array for the position is null then the adapter will send a message to the activity and asks the activity to display the progress dialog and at the same time the adapter will tell the thread that the user is trying to view the image at that specific position. Then the thread will then send a message to the activity to dismiss the progress dialog once the image of that specific position has been loaded. That's the general idea, but for some reason the message been sent from the adapter to the activity for showing the progress dialog is not working. I can see the message been send because the logging is been printed out in the message handler but the dialog is not showing up. Anyone has a clue? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Hmmm... so perhaps I can call wait() or use some other kind of
synchronizer until I get the proper onCreate callback. Thank you very
much for that ... it's a start.

[android-developers] Re: Does SoundPool work or has anyone successfully used it?
Thx for the code but I have that onCompletion working with the
MediaPlayer already.
The problem actually is that the volume is s silent on some files
(even after volume-normalizing them).
Does anyone which values to choose, calling the following method on a
MediaPlayer:
--
setVolume(float leftVolume, float rightVolume)
Sets the volume on this player.
--
I was using 10, as that had been returned once from
mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
SoundPool is playing them in the proper loudness. :(
But using an unstable API is not what I'd like to do :(

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
initiateCall is just an Activity. Activity initiateCall = new
Activity(); (actually a derived class of Activity with nothing added
but debug statements to signal when each lifecycle/callback method is
called).

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
As far as I understand, Google plans something like this for the future (maybe when paid apps start to become possible). For now the developer is left by themselves. We also initially copied an update checker routine in all of our OI applications, but this has 2 major drawbacks: 1) It requires each application to have the INTERNET permission, even though the app itself won't use it. 2) A lot of code is duplicated in the various applications. We have been developing OI Update, an open source update checker, which is ready to be released soon. We wrote it mainly for our own applications, but it is written generally enough to allow other applications to take advantage of it as well easily. Your application only needs to include a small meta-data in your manifest, and you need to keep a file on a server with update information (which can be compatible to VeeCheck; AndAppStore.com can generate that file on the fly). This inconvenience is necessary, because the Market does not provide version information to 3rd party applications (or at least I'm not aware of how to do it). All the rest is handled by OI Update. It checks every couple of days (as set by the user) for updates, and notifies the user. If the user wishes they are then directly forwarded to the Market where they can download the new version. I hope this could clarify a couple of points. Peli www.openintents.org On Nov 11, 3:48 pm, loty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm wondering about the same thing.

kind of functionality.
Thanks again.

[android-developers] How to send email programmatically?
Suppose I have an Activity which has couple of text fields - one for the subject and one for body text. And there is a simple Button. When user clicks the button, I wish to send the text in the textfields via email to a predetermined email address. How can I achieve this? Sorry for being lazy and not looking up the SDK docs :) PS: I have configured the EMAIL app on G1 using the Email setup steps, so it can receive and send email from my email account. -- - Sunit Katkar http://sunitkatkar.blogspot.com/ - Android OS Tutorials --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: disable home button
It didn't, it is a huge hack where it restarts itself when the user tries to leave it. It's a cute hack for the toddler lock, but far from something any normal application should do. (And seriously, the system -should- detect this and kill an app that is doing it. I would consider the fact that toddler lock can do this to be a bug in the system.)

[android-developers] Signing Apps for a external testing group
Hi All, I want to sign my application to let a group of tester install it to there mobiles. Is it possible to create certifications with limited time of use for the test people.

[android-developers] Re: Two Notifications
Maybe this helps: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Notification.html#number "The number of events that this notification represents. For example, if this is the new mail notification, this would be the number of unread messages. This number is be superimposed over the icon in the status bar. If the number is 0 or negative, it is not shown in the status bar. " The idea is to only show 1 notification, also when you slide down the screen, leaving the user with only 1 choice. But this 1 choice directs her to your application where you present a list of possible options (the ones you wanted to show in separate notifications in the first place).

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
I'm wondering about the same thing. All applications need to have a simple ability to notify users of new versions. For me 3rd party updaters/checkers is not an option - I can just as easily add simple check against my web site and download new APK file directly. A much cleaner solution is to query Android Market directly for new version. Can anyone illuminate me if this is possible or planned in the future.

[android-developers] Re: no callback to onItemClick() on clicking my ListView
Hi Sunit, To get the position/index of the item on which its button is clicked is not hard. It is just equal to the final "position" parameter passed to getView().
