[android-developers] Customizing ListAdapter
Hi,
I have a ListActivity for which I am setting up ListAdapter like below:
phoneListAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
R.layout.contacts_list_row,
managedCursor, new String[] { PhonesColumns.NUMBER,
PhonesColumns.TYPE},
new int[] { R.id.text1, R.id.text2 });
setListAdapter(phoneListAdapter);
However, the output here is not readable as PhonesColumns.TYPE is
displaying number strings like 2, 1 etc. A sample output that I get is
like below:
111-222- 2
222-333- 1
I want to make it more readable by converting them to Mobile,
Home, Work etc. A sample desired output list is like below:
111-222- MOBILE
222-333- WORK
Essentially, I don't want the columns to be displayed as is. How do I
achieve this ? My contacts_list_row.xml is like below:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
TextView android:id=@+id/text1
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content/

android:paddingLeft=10px
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content/

[android-developers] Re: service with a UI
Hi, The service component of my application needs to do certain tasks at some scheduled time in future. The task list itself is populated by an activity (of the same application) along with the exact date time the task should be carried out. When there are no tasks, service can stop running. Even when there are tasks, service doesn't have to run until the scheduled time of the 1st task in the (sorted) task list. Once the 1st task is taken care of, it doesn't have to run until next task's time has come. I was wondering if android has UNIX crond style process that can I make use of (programatically). Also, when new task is added or existing one is deleted, the activity needs to notify the service. I looked at AIDL but it seems to be more for communication across processes. If the service and activity are in the same process, isn't there an easier way to wakeup/notify the service that tasklist has changed ?

Activity (with textboxes and buttons etc.) takes user input and stores the data in sql database. However, it is not clear to me if the service portion of the application can access it. Is that possible ? If it is the SQLite database, then all components in a single application can access the database. Here, components refer to activities, services, content providers, and intent filters. In this approach, the activity and service will be completely independent and the activity has to notify the service (somehow ?) whenever user inputs new data so that the service can reprioritize its task list. Use AIDL, static data members, or the like to communicate from the activity to the service. In this approach my app should be running in the background as soon as phone is booted up. Everybody thinks that. Then people wonder why their phones are so slow. :-( I really encourage you to think through whether your application absolutely positively must run automatically without user intervention when the phone starts up. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: To Play .mp3 from host machine filesystem
One way to do it is to run a web server on your host machine and serve the mp3 via http. You could then call the setDataSource() method of the MediaPlayer with a URL pointing to the mp3 on the host. Note: you'll need to use the IP address of your host machine and not localhost. Finally, you will need to add permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file to allow your application access to internet: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.

Hello, aTrackDog is a popular version tracking app in Android Market. We could help your users to keep your application's version up-to-date. Although aTrackDog don't need you (developer) to do any extra effort, Now in aTrackDog 2.00, we do create the aTrackDog Version Tracking Guide for Developers. (which guide you how to add some meta-data in AndroidManifest.xml) http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ajkxs9k6pqxr_840gg7qfz66 It helps some of developers whom want to take more control on the following 3 purposes 1. Control your alpha/beta version not be tracked by aTrackDog. 2. Track non-Android-Market-application. (e.g. Handango, EA ) 3. To provide your users extra information (e.g. web, download link) for reference. We hope it will be a more helpful tool for both users and developers. BTW: Note the 3rd option, now you could check the 'weekly billboard' for Android Applications at http://atrackdog.a0soft.com/ . You could provide more infomation(your website, download link) to web visitors though add some meta-data in AndroidManifest.xml. The same meta-data also make effect when the user manage your app through aTrackDog in their G1.

[android-developers] Re: Memory leak in BitmapFactory/Gallery?
We have also been noticing this kind of behaviour in our application. What is worse, many of the OOM problems (but not all) have been solved using explicits System.gc() calls before the operation that caused the OOM. IMHO this means we were doing our homework releasing all the references to unused objects, but Dalvik was not freeing the memory until we have 'forced' it. This morning have been the last example: take a picture with the camera and display it in a new activity, finish that activity and when you try to capture a new picture you will get an OOM. You could thing we are doing something wrong and there is some reference to the image that prevents it from being garbage collected, but then I modify the activity that takes the pictures and put a System.gc(); before the takePicture() call and... it works! now you can take a picture, visualize it, go back and take another picture as many times as you want. I have always considered an explicit call to System.gc() a bad practice because that should be the VM's work not the programmer one, so I was very puzzled when I tried this and it worked... is this the intended behaviour in Dalvik? should we populate our code with System.gc() calls? BTW, Romain, please believe us when we say there are OOM exceptions when you are not even close to the theoretical 16 MB limit and you try to reserve a significant amount of memory (say 1 MB for example). Thanks, Jose Luis. On Dec 30, 6:42 pm, blindfold seeingwithso...@gmail.com wrote: 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?

There are two ways to approach this: as a data problem, or as a view
problem.
As a data problem, you could create your own CursorWrapper class that
wraps your managedCursor and converts PhonesColumns.TYPE into something
more user-friendly.
I tend to look at this as a view problem, so I create a custom adapter
that creates my own views, where I can make 2, 1 be MOBILE, WORK or
different icons or whatever I feel like. I have a whole series of blog

[android-developers] Re: Unable to get all phone numbers of a contact.
Hi, you should use another URI to retrieve all phones number. With
your code, you can get the person's id and use it to get all his phone
numbers. Here is an example:
if (column.equals(People._ID)) {
String whereClause = person=+contactsCursor.getString
(contactsCursor.getColumnIndex(column));
String[] phonesProjection = new String[] {Phones.NUMBER,
Phones.TYPE};
Cursor phonesCursor = ApplicationView.getCurrentView().managedQuery
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI, phonesProjection, whereClause, null,
null);
int phonesCursorCount = phonesCursor.getCount();
if (phonesCursorCount 0) {
phonesCursor.moveToFirst();
int numberColumn = phonesCursor.getColumnIndex(Phones.NUMBER);
int typeColumn = phonesCursor.getColumnIndex(Phones.TYPE);
for (int j=0; jphonesCursorCount; j++) {
switch (phonesCursor.getInt(typeColumn)) {
case Phones.TYPE_WORK:
workPhone =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
case Phones.TYPE_HOME:
homePhone =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
case Phones.TYPE_MOBILE:
mobilePhone =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
case Phones.TYPE_CUSTOM:
companyPhone =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
case Phones.TYPE_OTHER:
otherPhone =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
case Phones.TYPE_FAX_WORK:
faxWork =
phonesCursor.getString(numberColumn);
break;
}
phonesCursor.moveToNext();

Sarath Kamisetty wrote: I was wondering if android has UNIX crond style process that can I make use of (programatically). AlarmService. Also, when new task is added or existing one is deleted, the activity needs to notify the service. I looked at AIDL but it seems to be more for communication across processes. It works within the same process as well. If the service and activity are in the same process, isn't there an easier way to wakeup/notify the service that tasklist has changed ? That depends on how you define easier. Tying an activity and a service together via static data members or the like couples them very tightly. At best, you are more likely to leak memory. At worst, you wind up in situations where the service is trying to talk to a dead activity. The developer who was trying to update a TextView from a service ran into that problem, I suspect -- updating a TextView for an activity other than the right one. So, while it may be easier to initially write the software this way, there is a good chance you will regret it later.

[android-developers] T-Mobile G1: How to properly resume View's focus when Activity resumed from screen black-out?
Hi All, If the G1 is idle for short period (no user input) while a Activity is still running, the screen blacks out and the user input is locked. When the screen is unlocked by the user again and screen light up, we found the View object does not have input focus, as the result, the application does not react any user input. To solve this App. frozen problem, I added View.request() in Activity's onResume() method becase onResume() is called when the Activity comes back after screen black-out. Also, is there a way to completely avoid screen black-out, in other words, how can we make the screen always on when a Activity is running even there is no user input. Thanks for any suggestions!

[android-developers] Re: Memory leak in BitmapFactory/Gallery?
There is clearly something wrong. I've tried to plug a leak in BitmapFactory.decodeStream() (which is called internally by BitmapFactory.decodeFile() ), and that indeed fixed a memory leak whenever you create a bitmap (see http://review.source.android.com/6418), but after Romain reviewed it, I realized that the problem is possibly much deeper in the gc itself. BitmapFactory.decodeStream() sometimes creates a BufferedInputStream() and doesn't close it but in theory, that shouldn't cause a memory leak. The GC should realize that nobody references the BufferedInputStream(), collect it, and thereby realize that nobody holds its enclosing stream and collect that too. Except that this doesn't happen. (Unless I missed something secret that links the FilteredInputStream to the other stream on a lower level.) I've made a simple test app that creates a Bitmap using BitmapFactory.decodeFile() every 10ms. It doesn't even store the return value, and lo and behold, the app runs out of memory unless I modify the Android OS to close the BufferedInputStream. I'll take a peek at the mark and sweep mechanism itself, but it would be more productive if somebody at Android could do that since they're a lot more familiar with all this. Btw, Jose - I too got OOMs when I was nowhere close to 16MB, although my suspicion is that the JNI memory usage is not easily accessible in the DDMS (even though somebody said it is supposedly taken from the app's heap as well). -Mike On Dec 31, 5:35 am, qvark joseluishuertasfernan...@gmail.com wrote: We have also been noticing this kind of behaviour in our application. What is worse, many of the OOM problems (but not all) have been solved using explicits System.gc() calls before the operation that caused the OOM. IMHO this means we were doing our homework releasing all the references to unused objects, but Dalvik was not freeing the memory until we have 'forced' it. This morning have been the last example: take a picture with the camera and display it in a new activity, finish that activity and when you try to capture a new picture you will get an OOM. You could thing we are doing something wrong and there is some reference to the image that prevents it from being garbage collected, but then I modify the activity that takes the pictures and put a System.gc(); before the takePicture() call and... it works! now you can take a picture, visualize it, go back and take another picture as many times as you want. I have always considered an explicit call to System.gc() a bad practice because that should be the VM's work not the programmer one, so I was very puzzled when I tried this and it worked... is this the intended behaviour in Dalvik? should we populate our code with System.gc() calls? BTW, Romain, please believe us when we say there are OOM exceptions when you are not even close to the theoretical 16 MB limit and you try to reserve a significant amount of memory (say 1 MB for example).

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?

[android-developers] Rotation Redux: how to MAKE it auto-rotate!
Well, heh, when I first started writing this app I couldn't get the
G1 to NOT rotate my activities on keyboard out. Finally, I added
android:screenOrientation=portrait to the activities in the
manifest and that kept everything fixed.
Now I have an activity I WANT to rotate when the keyboard comes out,
so I removed the screenOrientation attribute entirely on that
activity, figuring I'd be reverting back to the wild-and-wooly
auto-rotate behavior. However, even though the activity is destroyed
and re-created when the keyboard comes out, the screen is still drawn
in portrait mode. adb sez on kbd out:
12-31 10:33:15.278 I/WindowManager( 56): Input configuration
changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=0/0 locale=en_US touch=3 key=2/1 nav=3
orien=1 }
The only way I can get a landscape view is to force it with
screenOrientation:landscape on that activity (but then it is
rotated even before the keyboard comes out).
What am I missing here? (I only have one set of resources in the
res/layout directory, figure I shouldn't need two unless I want to
customize...)

[android-developers] Inserting a contact / Android architecture
I have a question on inserting a contact, but it's the general principle I'm most interested in. I'd really love to hear from one of the Android Engineers on this, because currently I find some of the design decisions in Android perplexing, and I'd like to understand why it is as it is. The most direct way to insert a contact seems to be to use Contacts.People.createPersonInMyContactsGroup(...). Something like this: ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(People.NAME, Bernie); Contacts.People.createPersonInMyContactsGroup( getContentResolver(), values); We're constructing the person entity as a map. This brings up a few potential problems: 1. How do we know what the keys should be? By convention Android's own classes (such as People) declare static constants to tell us what those keys should be, but this is only a convention. 2. How do we know what datatype is appropriate for a given key? There's nothing to stop you or warn you when you push the wrong type of data in. 3. How do we know what combination of keys is valid? If a given entity has mandatory properties, there's nothing to stop you or warn you if you forget to set some of those mandatory properties. 4. We're potentially allocating two objects for every value - one for the value itself and one for the key. Where we use static constants, this is less of an issue. Why does the API not provide a Person object that we can populate and then pass in to be persisted? Perhaps something like this: Person p = new Person(Bernie); p.addGroupMembership(My Contacts); getContentResolver().insert(Person.CONTENT_URI, p); The Person class tells clearly us: 1. What values can be set (by the existence of bean properties) 2. What datatype each property is 3. What values are are mandatory (probably by virtue of them being required in constructor calls) Is it a classloading issue? I'm guessing no because we could easily overcome that by making Person Serializable or Parcelable, splitting it out into a JAR to be linked into whatever app needs it. So what then is the philosophy that has driven the architecture to be this way? brnzn --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

So what then is the philosophy that has driven the architecture to be this way? I can't speak for the core Android team, so I cannot say specifically why they made the design decision. However, given their repeated insistence that they will not break binary interfaces with Android OS updates, my guess is that's at least part of their rationale. The definition of a contact has potential to change significantly. They may feel that a more generic interface will help them expand the scope of contacts without changing existing uses of the API. To draw an analogy, it's a variant on the strong-vs.-weak typing argument you see when Rubyists and Javanauts square off. Strong typing has definite benefits, in terms of compile-time validations and potential for optimization. However, strong typing can also get in the way, which is why some folk prefer weakly-typed or type-inferred languages. Anyway, that's my guess. Take it with a grain of salt. Preferably a large grain of salt, maybe one cubic foot or so... ;-) -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
