[android-developers] Does Geocoder. getFromLocationName handle local business search?

[Rafael Fernandes]

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know that I've found this bug here
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1537 that made me
realize that GeoCoder might not handle business searches which makes
totally sense (currently searching for addresses it works like a
charm)...
now my question is: Is it true to say that GeoCoder does not handle
local business searches? if it was supposed to be true, how can we fix
that? because I've been debugging the location framework for some time
and the Masf google framework is closed source and this is the one
that actually performs the real query... no way to debug this one

can anybody from Google confirm that? because if this is true, I'd
have to redesign my app... and I believe many other apps as well...

Thanks,
rafa

[android-developers] Device id

[jsm]

I have an application where I need to check whether the user is using
the actual device not a emulator or others.  I have seen the API where
there is device id method from phone service.
I need a generic way to check if the user is on the real device.
For example if he has downloaded the app from the market, i need to
know the device id of the user, this is strictly for licensing and
restricting the use of app.

Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: AndroidManifest.xml reg.

[Dianne Hackborn]

You can only have one application tag.  There really should be no need for
having multiple.

Also, please don't use a package name in the "com.android" namespace.  The
android.com domain is owned by the OHA, it is not for use by others.

[android-developers] Re: AndroidManifest.xml reg.

[Xavier Ducrohet]

You can certainly have an application with no activity if all your
application does is in the background with no UI.
You application should probably have one (or more) Service,
ContentProvider, or BroadcastReceiver though.

When ADT pushes a new apk on the emulator/device for debug it attempts
to launch an activity.
It looks for an activity setup (through intent filters) to appear on
the home screen, and starts it, simulating the user starting the
application manually.

If there is no such activity (or no activity at all), then it will do
nothing after installing the new apk.
It will be up to you to trigger one of the components of your
application (send an intent, have another application bind to the
Service, etc...) to debug it.

Please help me access the list of sms in the inbox. I am using this

I used a similar code for accessing the contacts list ( People.NAME

[android-developers] AndroidManifest.xml reg.

[anand]

Hi All,

I was playing around with the Hello Android program and got the
following questions regarding the AndroidManifest.xml file:

1. An application can have multiple "Activity"-ies, likewise is it
possible to declare multiple applications in a single manifest file?
If yes how to shift focus between the declared applications?

2. Modified the HelloAndroid manifest file as shown below:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  package="com.android.hello"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0.0">





MyTestApp.java is located in the src/com/android/hello directory.

package com.android.hello;

class MyTestApp
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("MyTestApp:main() called");
}
}

The project built fine but generated the following messages which I
could not understand:

[2008-12-30 13:16:38 - HelloAndroid] The Manifest defines no activity!
[2008-12-30 13:16:38 - HelloAndroid] The launch will only sync the
application package on the device!
[2008-12-30 13:16:38 - HelloAndroid] Only Syncing Application Package

Questions:
a. Is it possible to have an application without any associated
activity? Can such an application have intents (and intent filters) to
process?

b. Please explain what the message "The launch will only sync the
application package on the device!" mean.

Thanks in advance. And thanks for patiently reading this far...

What about the icons used in notifications? Are they 24x24 natively?
Is there any source where this kind of documentation can be found? I didn't
see any.

Btw. is there a style guide in the works?

[android-developers] Re: Charging for Apps

[Shane Isbell]

At SlideME, we don't have any restrictions on if users want to handle their
own billing or trial upgrades. Use Mogees if you like. The only thing we
request is that you disclose everything to the user in your terms.

We will also be offering our own billing through SAM, our Android client,
next week. This does not require embedding anything in your code. After the
user registers at SlideME, they just need to click buy and that's it. Pretty
easy.

You might also want to consider moving the countdown out to a
service.  That would allow it to keep running even when your UI is not
active.

[android-developers] Re: Compile Error(s)

[brnzn]

I might be wrong, but it sounds like there's a problem with your
accessing debug.keystore.  The SDK sets up a default key for
development - in Eclipse check the "Default debug keystore" setting
under under Window > Preferences > Android > Build.

Perhaps something went wrong during the SDK install?  Have you ever
been able to compile?

[android-developers] Re: Screen Goes Black Between Activities, and Next Activity never shows up.

[Skooter Columbo]

I finally figured out why the screen was turning black. It did not
have anything to do with the Dialog option I picked. It was because I
had a long running process and I was running it on the UI thread. I
moved the long running process out to a seperate thread and this
sperate thread updated the UI thread as need. This allowed the screen
to display, and to show the count like it was designed too. If you
need to know more about how do this then read this link. It helped me
very much.

It is amazing what a 4 hour nap can produce.

also newest version of the SDK.

[android-developers] How do you create an MMS message with audio attachment?

[Blake B.]

Hello all,

I am trying to create an MMS message with an audio attachment and a
message for the user to view and then click "send" themselves.  If you
create a new Message on your own, you are able to attach an audio file
(.amr in this case), but how do you do this programatically?

When I do this code below, I get the MMS Compose Message window, but
it gives an error message: "Unsupported picture format.  Please select
a different picture.":

final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("sms_body", msgText);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, audioUri);
i.setType("*/*");
startActivity(i);


When I run this code below (changed MIME type from "*/*" to "audio/*"
or "audio/amr", Android instead brings up the GMail client with the
audio attachment on the email:

final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.putExtra("sms_body", msgText);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, audioUri);
i.setType("audio/*");
startActivity(i);


How can I direct the system to create an MMS message with a .amr
attachment?

Thanks,
Blake

[android-developers] Re: certificate ssl webservice keystore

[yukinoba]

OK, and thanks for your mention :-)

I have read your source code, and I found it's similar to the source
of the email client embedded in the Android source code now. My one
question is, the cause that 3rd-party applications could not create a
SSL socket, is because of 3rd-party applications can not create /
access the already existed KeyStore file in the system?

If my observation is right, do we just only need to create a local
KeyStore file and assign this file to the original TrustManagerFactory
for access it? The reason why I ask this is I followed the
architecture in the AndroidHttpClient, and found that in the Apache
SSLSocketFactory there already has 2 managers: keymanagers and
trustmanagers. It seems we need to assign 2 store files at the
construction stage of SSLSocketFactory.

Another question is, where (or when) should I know there is a new SSL
certification needs to be notified, and accepted (or not) by the user?
I saw the "acceptKeyDialog" in your AccountSetupCheckSettings.java,
however I have no idea about when this dialog will be triggered.

and appreciates for you and your project again, that really helps a
lot! ;-)

Best regards,
Nicholas

[android-developers] Re: USB signal control class?

[Justin (Google Employee)]

There's no simple (and perhaps none at all) way to do this on the
system that runs on the G1. There might be a way to do this through
JNI, but it would be fragile and difficult to develop, if it were even
possible. You can, of course, modify the system itself and install on
custom hardware (or an Android Dev Phone 1). This route requires
experience with Linux system and/or kernel programming though.

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone 1™

[Justin (Google Employee)]

Hmmm, this is the first I've heard of the charging cable not
physically fitting the phone. The phone should *not* have a standard
miniUSB input, but instead a modified one. When holding the phone with
the screen facing up the left side of the port on the phone should be
perfectly vertical, but the right side should be at an angle at the
bottom of the port and then go completely vertical half way up. I'll
try a little ASCII art here:
_
|   |
|__/

A 'normal' miniUSB port has sides that are mirror images of itself and
look roughly like the right side of the port on the Dev Phone 1,
albeit a little less perfectly angular.

A 'normal' miniUSB cable will work with the Dev Phone 1, but a Dev
Phone 1 specific cable will *not* work with a 'normal' miniUSB port.
Based on your description I wonder if your phone has a 'normal'
miniUSB port instead of the custom one and you've got a wall charger
with the custom connector, as it should have. If you can provide some
more information on your connector configurations that would be great.

Thanks,
Justin

[android-developers] Re: How to quickly update the package without restarting the simulator?

Yes, do not need to restart the simulator. Just re-run the application
within Eclipse. The plugin is wise enough to reuse the simulator and
reinstall the package.

[android-developers] Re: Save data between onDestory/onCreate cycles

[Dianne Hackborn]

As the docs say, the onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() should only be used
as an optimization, not to replace a working implementation of the normal
onSaveInstanceState() et al mechanism.  (The latter is the only thing that
can be done in the case where an app's process needs to be killed or its
activities removed while in the background, which is what destroying
activities immediately emulates.)

At any rate, you should be able to put a styled CharSequence into a bundle
(or use the TextUtils class to write it directly to a Parcel) and get it out
again with the styling intact.  Unfortunately this currently only works for
the built-in styleable classes, so if you need to retain your own custom
ones you will probably do your own marshalling/unmarshalling with the
Parcel.

[android-developers] Re: How do you start a service on installation?

[Dianne Hackborn]

How about not finding a work-around, but rather starting yourself up when
the user starts your app as intended?  Better yet, let them decide whether
you will remain running in the background, so if they don't want to be using
your app's features during some time they don't have to resort to just
uninstalling it.

[android-developers] Re: TextView Widget - OnResume

[Dianne Hackborn]

You should not be using singleTask to "fix" problems like this, as the
launch mode is intended to control the flow through the activity, not to let
you avoid dealing with activity lifecycle.  Please read the app model doc to
understand what happens when you use this.  It can cause very undesirable
effects if not used appropriately.

Pressing back and then returning to the activity -should- result in a new
instance of the activity being started, since the default behavior of back
is to close the current one.  You just should deal with this, and point
everything to the new activity.  (And really, you shouldn't generally leave
stuff running in your process associated with an activity that has been
finished.  The user pressed back, your activity is finished, and its work
should stop.)  If you have some long-running operation that needs to
continue outside of the regular activity lifecycle, a Service is a common
approach to take.

[android-developers] Re: Any updates on paid apps timeline?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Just to be clear, this is lots of speculation and no facts. :)  Some facts I
can share: Android is stable as of 1.0 and we will not be breaking
compatibility, and in particular we will not be breaking applications in the
cupcake branch.

Comparing Android to iPhone in that way is also a questionable endeavor,
since the way they were released was very different: iPhone shipped for
almost a year with no support for third party apps and then released an
update to add that feature, while Android shipped from the start with third
party app support.  I can't comment on adoption of the G1 vs. the original
iPhone, but clearly at this point there is a smaller number of Android
users, simply because we started from 0 at the point where third party
developers were supported.  This is something developers should keep in mind
and certainly isn't being hidden.

[android-developers] Re: How to remove Gallery drop shadow

I'm an idiot.  The drop shadow I was referring to is the fading edge.
This is removed by setting the fading edge to none.

[android-developers] Re: getFromLocationName() broken?

[Rafael Fernandes]

well I've tried my code on my real device and I'm facing the same
error...
you all are correct, the cupcake branch has fixed the issue (I have
the new source here)...
even though the error remains for me (even recompiling the platform
core etc, bla bla bla)...

by the way, I've tried your app here and I've got the same error...
however if I type only piz it shows me one record but if I type pizza,
it gives me this bloody forwardGeocode(): no feature in GLocation
error...
if you type pizza munich for example, do you get anything there?

cheers,
rafa

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone Battery life

[Eng, Cary]

FWIW, I've found that if I use the G1 only as a phone, it lasts fairly long.  
In fact last time when I topped the battery off at 100% and removed it from the 
charger before I went to bed, it was at 99% 12 hours later when I checked it.  
So a pure standby-only time of 5 days seems fairly feasible to me given my 
experiences with my G1.  But once you start opening up browser windows and 
turning on WiFi, it's easy to burn the battery down in just a few hours.  This 
is on a non-Dev phone btw.

If you get really bad battery life, calibrate it.  Drain it down until it 
absolutely won't boot. (Lower is better.) Then charge it -uninterrupted- for at 
least 8 hours (longer is better, up to about 24 hours..)

The default charge calibration is worthless.

[android-developers] CPU asleep when using the network

[Gil]

I'm developing an application which needs a persistent TCP connection
to server. I'm trying to understand what is the proper way of dealing
with persistent connections to avoid draining the battery quickly. My
understanding is if a socket is connected to the server and the CPU
goes to sleep, if packets are received on that connection the CPU will
wake up. The thing I don't know is when it will go back to sleep
again. Do I need to grab a WakeLock right after the read operation and
release it after I'm done processing the incoming packet? If I don't
grab the WakeLock is there the concept of an execution context which
ends when the current thread goes to the blocking or sleeping state?

One think I noticed when using the HttpConnection is that
getResponseCode (which is a blocking call) will NOT wake up if the CPU
goes to sleep. At this time I am considering writing my own HTTP
connection class in order to gain fine control over the behavior of
the class in regards to the CPU sleep issue.

If what Sundog says is true, i.d. that you have two instances of an

in the manifest file. that solved a similar problem I had. Make sure
you spedify "singletask" just fot that one activity.

[android-developers] Sharing a MapView between two Activities

[mscwd01]

I have encountered memory issues in the past when using more than one
MapView in a given application.

However in the application I am currently working on I require two
activites to use MapViews. Instead of creating a new MapView object in
each activity, is there a way to create one MapView and use it in each
of the two activities?

I.e. Use it in activity one, add overlays etc -> start activity two,
clear overlays and add new overlays etc?

Thanks

[android-developers] Unable to get all phone numbers of a contact.

[Sarath Kamisetty]

Hi,

Given a contact URI like content://contacts/people/23 I want to dump
all phone numbers - like home, mobile, work, fax etc. all. However
when I user managedQuery and got a cursor for this and dumped all the
column names the only relevant columns I see are "number" and
"primary_phone" (code shown below). It is not clear how all the phone
numbers are stored and accessed. I tried looking at Contacts code but
unable to make out much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sarath

Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(pickedContact,
null, // Which columns to return
null,   // WHERE clause; which rows to return (all rows)
null,   // WHERE clause selection arguments (none)
People.NAME + " ASC"); // Order-by clause
(ascending by name)

managedCursor.moveToFirst();
int columnCount = managedCursor.getColumnCount();
String resStr = new String();
for (int i=0; i < columnCount; i++) {
  resStr += managedCursor.getColumnName(i) + " ";
}

[android-developers] Re: How to quickly update the package without restarting the simulator?

[Brett Chabot]

You could try to re-install the app instead, using
adb install -r my.apk

Although re-installing will retain the application's data, which might
not be always what you want.

Also, I wasn't clear from your message whether you are doing this or
not, but it should not be necessary to close and restart the emulator.
I just leave the emulator running while I'm doing my app development.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Brett.

I believe the problem you mentioned in this thread:

has been fixed in the open source "cupcake" development branch. Are
there are any additional problems with getFromLocationName?

you can do something like:

teach me how to solve the xml's problem.
My development environment is under Eclipse, if the xml can't be
compiled then the R.java wouldn't be generated...

[android-developers] SQLite3 sql command to show tables in a database

[michael m]

Does anyone know if there is a SQL command for SQLite3 to show the
tables in a given database for my Android application or a
corresponding class that will deliver a list?  I need to find out this
information programatically and not through adb.  I was assuming to
find something in SQLiteDatabase, but couldn't find anything that
delivers the list of tables.

thanks

[android-developers] RuntimeException when launching activity on emulator

[Ellen Spertus]

I'm developing on Windows with Eclipse (Ganymede) with SDK 1.0r2.  For
a few days, I was able to run and debug my program on both the
emulator and my phone.  Starting yesterday, I've been unable to launch
the activity of the program I'm developing on the emulator or phone.
(I can still run my hello world app.)  My run and debug configurations
are
set to launch my activity com.android.bounce.Bounce.  When I try
debugging, I get this error and stack dump:

Bounce config [Android Application]
DalvikVM[localhost:8608]
Thread [<3> main] (Suspended (exception
RuntimeException))
ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity
(ActivityThread$ActivityRecord)
line: 2140

NativeStart.main(String[]) line: not available
[native method]
Thread [<13> Binder Thread #2] (Running)
Thread [<11> Binder Thread #1] (Running)

I have tried restarting Eclipse and rebooting my computer, without
effect.

Here is the code for the activity class, which has been unchanged
since before I began getting this error:

public class Bounce extends Activity {
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private BounceThread mBounceThread;
private BounceView mBounceView;

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

// get handles
mBounceView = (BounceView)findViewById(R.id.bounce);
mBounceThread = mBounceView.getThread();
}

}

Stepping through in the debugger, savedInstanceState == NULL, and the
failure occurs in setContentView().  The file res/layout/main.xml is:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">






The automatically created R.java file includes:

public final class R {
...
public static final class id {
public static final int bounce=0x7f05;
}
...
}

Here is my manifest:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  package="com.android.bounce"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0.0">










I'd be grateful for any advice.

Ellen

[android-developers] Using directions from com.google.android.maps API

[joggle]

Does anyone know if there's a way to get directions either using the
java API provided by google or some sort of AJAX type of method? I
would like to be able to get routes within my app but can't see any
way of doing it at this time (similar to the functionality provided by
the GDirections javascript object).

[android-developers] Dialog box

[AlexG]

Hi

I am trying to implement something like:

userResponse = showMessageBox(buttons, messages, etc)

So far I have started a new activity that presents the message and the
button and returns through onActivityResult().
Meaning my activity launches a sub-Activity that shows an AlertDialog
with 2 buttons. What the user clicked returns through onActivityResult
().

I would prefer to use the one call way instead waiting for the
onActivityResult callback.

Is there any way to do this?


Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Droid Fonts License: does it allows to redistribute them?

[Rex Tsai]

Hi, all

  I like to clarify the license of Fonts, after checking the git
repository[1] and the last version of font. I found the license
statement in font's metadata has been changed[2] this month.

  In the Copyright filed of fonts, the license has changed from 'This
font software is the valuable property of Ascender Corporation' to
'Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0'.  Also in the fonts
directory of git repository, there are three files[3] declare the
software is licensed under Apache 2.0 license.

  Based on these documents, I suppose the fonts can be redistributed
based on Apache 2.0 license.

1. 
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master
2. http://review.source.android.com/5401
3. The MODULE_LICENSE_APACHE2, NOTICE and README.txt files, the
README.txt stated "This directory contains the fonts for the platform.
They are licensed under the Apache 2 license." and the NOTICE contains
the statements of Apache 2.0 license.

[android-developers] Re: How to track menu navigation focus changes?

[Enginerd]

I'm having a similar issue.  I guess you could set up listeners for
key up/down (and/or scroll), and check to see where the focus is.
It's tacky, but I think it would work for a simple scroll list.  Not
sure if this would work for all phones though, and it would definitely
be a good thing to have.

[android-developers] Re: USB signal control class?

[rruff]

Justin,

You say "In 1.0 you don't have access to the USB port via the Java API
layer. ".  Does that imply that there is another interface that may
allow me to access the USB port?  We would like to use the G1 as a
control head for several devices and a wireless link will not be
appropriate.  We are hoping to use the USB to get control information
and data back and forth.

Thanks,
Rob

[android-developers] Re: abusive, explicit language comments in the Android Software Market

[Thatcher Ulrich]

If a comment is actual spam, you can long-click on it and select
"Report as Spam".  I don't know what, if anything, the market does
with that info, but it seems like it's worth a try.  You could also
try doing the same thing with explicit language etc though I don't
know what the fallout would be if you flag stuff that you just don't
like, but isn't actual spam/abuse.

Personally I LOVE the ability to see what users are saying.  It's true
that many of them are rude.  My policy is to ignore the rude comments
unless there is something constructive in there.  I figure many of the
commenters are bored kids and don't share my sense of netiquette.  Get
off my lawn!  Lolz!1!

[android-developers] Re: How do you start a service on installation?

[devileper]

Upon further reading, this approach is impossible and is by design.  I will
find a work around.

[android-developers] Re: TextView Widget - OnResume

Only thing I can think of is that maybe somehow you've created a
second TextView object upon resume and the messages are going to the
wrong one. I've done something similar...

I haven't messed around with OpenGL ES, but in OpenGL you can change
the orientation by changing the texture coordinates origin.  Instead
of starting with the lower left, try starting from the upper left,
IIRC.

Anyone know if/how the geodb file can be populated in Android version

I was able to use the geodb file in version m5-rc15 but it doesn't
seem to be available in 1.0.
If anyone has been able to put geodb to use in v.1.0 pls. let me know

[android-developers] Re: How to quickly update the package without restarting the simulator?

[Justin Collum]

I'm using eclipse. When I start the simulator, run my package, make code
changes and hit run again, the new code goes to the simulator automatically
without a restart. I wish there was a way to get the emulator to skip its
boot sequence.

[android-developers] Re: Save data between onDestory/onCreate cycles

[Al]

I did read your site posts before deciding how to saving data when
rotating, but the problem is onRetain() isn't called, for example,
when you set the emulator to destroy activities immediately and then
press 'Home'. OnSave() on the other hand *is* called. Because of
this, I've decided to save the text in onSave...() instead, but I
can't preserve formatting.

[android-developers] Re: Memory leak in BitmapFactory/Gallery?

[blindfold]

I wonder if there could be some bug in this intended VM-like
behaviour, because my app continuously uses about 3 to 4 MB on the dev
phone 1 according to DDMS (with similar figures reported by freeMemory
()), and DDMS reports a heap size of about 6 MB (not a typo, not 16
MB). And yet my app occasionally crashes due to an OutOfMemoryError
exception when its peak usage gets close to that fixed 6 MB (not 16
MB), either in my own (modest, few hundred KB) memory allocations -
for which I can add try-catch blocks as a crude workaround to keep the
app alive, or due an out-of-memory error in the low-level camera
preview code, which then inevitably causes a crash. Never do I see the
heap (in DDMS) gradually climb up from 6 MB towards 16 MB. Basically
it looks like the heap does not always grow even when memory
allocations require it? Or has the system already reserved 10 MB of
the 16 MB for things that I am not aware of such that the reported
heap cannot grow above 6 MB?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Android Dev Phone Battery life

[Disconnect]

If you get really bad battery life, calibrate it.  Drain it down until it
absolutely won't boot. (Lower is better.) Then charge it -uninterrupted- for
at least 8 hours (longer is better, up to about 24 hours..)

The default charge calibration is worthless.

layout_weight is your friend here.

for example:

layout_weight=3 for first view and layout_weight=7 for the other

[android-developers] Re: Screen Goes Black Between Activities, and Next Activity never shows up.

[Skooter Columbo]

I got rid of the AlertDialog, and modified my code to use the
ThemeDialog approach. I made sure that I added the attribute
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"  to the Android Manifest
file for my application. However I get the same problem. If I comment
out the code in the onWindowFocusChanged then the CountDown Activity
display, but of course it does not change. A couple of times the
screen displayed correctly when the code was uncommented. However it
only displayed for screen that showed up before when the code was
commented out. I think is some sort of cached screen for faster
access, so I don't get my hopes up.

Do you guys have any other ideas? On a lighter note, The display of
the dialog is much fast now than before when I was callling
AlertDialog.Builder.

Thanks,

Skooer

[android-developers] Re: Strange Toast error

[Alvin Yates]

Yes, the service is raising the Toast.  It's similar (I think) to what
the ApiDemo services do.  I could use notifications, but I was looking
for a quick and dirty way of a simple message in this case (And
normally I do).  I just never expected that particular error to
happen, and I was wondering what could be the cause.

I decided to remove the Toast messages and did some reworking to
eliminate the need for them in the first place, so now it's just a
curiosity of understanding why it happened.

[android-developers] TextView Widget - OnResume

[Dan]

I'll just say upfront that I apologize if this is a duplicate post. I
originally posted this message in the Beginners group but now I can't
find it anywhere so I thought I would post it here this time.

Anyway, I have an activity where I'm just listening for udp messages
in a background thread and then just posting those messages in a
TextView widget. When I originally go into the activity everything
works great. The messages are obtained from the background thread and
posted to the UI thread through a message handler. The string is then
written to the textview control via a call to the append() method.

The issue I'm having is if I exit the activity (via the back button on
the G1) and then reenter the activity. Everything works great except
the writing to the textview control. I can see the message being
received in the background thread and being handed off to the message
handler just fine. But when I make the call to append() nothing ever
gets written out to the textview control.

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Is there something I"m missing
with the textview control? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dan

[android-developers] Re: DatePicker and TimePicker widgets

[anand]

you can have an icon for time and date picker and upon clicking them
you can open up the respective widget in a separate dialog. something
similar to the calendar icon in web pages which upon hovering or
clicking brings up a calendar.

[android-developers] Switch to a SurfaceView from a WebView

[Ulrich Scheller]

Hi,
I want to show a WebView with some information at the start of my
application. After clicking a button, this view should disappear for
the SurfaceView of the app. In the following code I try to do this in
several ways.

What happens is that the WebView disappears, but the SurfaceView
doesnt show. I can click on the touchscreen and get events for it, but
I dont see anything on the display.

What am I doing wrong?


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Handler mHandler = new Handler(){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);

setContentView(R.layout.laska_layout);
mLaskaView = (LaskaView) findViewById(R.id.laska);
mLaskaView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mInfoView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
mInfoView.destroy();
mLaskaView.bringToFront();
mLaskaView.requestFocus();
mLaskaView.getHolder().getSurface().show();
mLaskaThread.doDraw();
}
};

// turn off the window's title bar
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

// tell system to use the layout defined in our XML file
setContentView(R.layout.laska_layout);

// get handles to the LaskaView from XML, and its LaskaThread
mLaskaView = (LaskaView) findViewById(R.id.laska);
mLaskaThread = mLaskaView.getThread();

// give the LaskaView a handle to the TextView used for
messages
mLaskaView.setTextView((TextView) findViewById(R.id.text));

   ...

setContentView(R.layout.info_layout);
mInfoView = (InfoView) findViewById(R.id.info);
mInfoView.setLaskaHandle(mHandler);
}

[android-developers] How to quickly update the package without restarting the simulator?

[Xiongzh]

hi friends,

I'm tired of restarting the simulator again and again for just small
changes in the source codes.
In my VISTA/3G/Intel Duo laptop, it would take minitues.

Is it possible to uninstall and re-install the package without closing
the simulator and restarting it?

My way is to use
adb uninstall 
adb install my.apk

It's still not quick enough. need nearly 1 minute.

What's your way to save your time?

Thx

[android-developers] Problematic Android heap management remaining cause of crashes

[blindfold]

One of the main reasons that my app still occasionally crashes is that
I have limited control over Android's heap management. In particular,
when I launch a new activity from within my app, I see in the DDMS
debug view for my dev phone 1 a huge - albeit temporary - free memory
dip that sometimes measures over 2MB, and the free memory as a result
going down to a mere several hundred KB is then occasionally the
reason that the camera preview internally (not in my Android code!)
cannot allocate the 230400 bytes needed for a preview image. I cannot
catch this internal OutOfMemory exception to prevent an application
crash because it occurs in the lower level camera code, not in my own
application-level memory allocations and preview processing.

The newly launched activity that causes the free memory dip itself
does not use much memory (maybe 0.5 MB), and after a second or so I
therefore again have at least 3 MB free memory, so I conclude that it
is in the transition between two activities (the main one and the
startActivityForResult()-launched one) that the memory dip occurs. My
app does not leak memory, as is evident from the fact that free memory
remains approximately constant even when I run my app for a long time.
Normally I have between 3 MB and 3.5 MB free memory while running my
app, at a DDMS-reported heap size of 5.6 MB (apparently Android
process management already takes a huge bite out of the 16 MB total
heap that any app is supposed to have?). I also apply System.gc() and
Bitmap.recycle() in my code where big memory blocks such as for
bitmaps are allocated/freed, and I apply try-catch blocks to catch
OutOfMemoryError exceptions arising from my own code to transparently
recover from temporary memory dips without a crash, because those
OutOfMemoryError exceptions arise from Android not cleaning up in time
- but again, I just cannot catch Android's lower level memory
allocation problems that still cause my app to crash. :-(

Is there a way to prevent the large - though temporary - free memory
dips that occur when a new activity is launched? It looks as if
Android cleans up for the launching app only *after* the new activity
has been fully launched, and acts much like there are temporarily two
complete activities plus transition management overhead in memory as
far as heap usage is concerned? It is pretty bad if one cannot trust
memory management when this causes unpredictable application crashes
due to things that lie beyond the reach of the application programmer.

Thanks

under project/development (platform/development.git), you should get
the sources.

[android-developers] Re: jdb attach error

[Kenny Yu]

It seems certain JAR file was not seen in your classpath? Eclipse+ADT
does this very well. Did you try it?
