[android-developers] Writting/Reading Sync settings - Possible?
Hello. I have seen several applications in the market that enable you to toggle your sync settings. (for example ToggleSettings) How is this done? I have found the permissions to read and write the sync settings but I don't really know how to to that. Could someone drop me an example how to change the sync settings? This would be really nice. I'm looking forward reading your responses. Regards. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Eclipse File Explorer doesn't work on G1
in fact is supposed to be like that, this prevents an app to access data from another... even the user is different, if you wanna do such dir navigation and/or install apps you should use adb, something like... 1 - adb shell (connect to your device) 2 - su - (become super user on the shell) 3 - now you can do whatever you want... cheers, rafa On Jan 11, 1:50 am, blake blake.me...@gmail.com wrote: I'm, at long last, working with a real phone, instead of just the emulator.

[android-developers] Re: WebView: Need help with local file Urls in the browser
Hey Fred, I assume you are talking about static content that you deliver with your application? I am looking for a solution to display a html page that I downloaded from the net when the net is available and display when the net is no longer available and this should include all the references assets.

I tried many different ways and failed so far. I can't just use the url: file:///data/data/com.myapp/files/index.html . The browser just says Web page not available. Also when loading the content of the index.html file directly, it does not show the image. Like this: contentWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL(file:///data/data/com.myapp/files/index.html , htmlHello, World!img src=\image.png\//html, text/html, utf-8, null); I wrote the content with Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE.

This method is never called (android-sdk- mac_x86-1.0_r2). I guess I can try to ask the user to turn off shared access for the sdcard and use that, but that's really not what I want. In a pinch though ... any ideas? Also when using Context.openFileInput/Output I can't use folders, right? Any ideas if the file system slows down when I have a thousand small files there?

On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 3:39 PM, Brad Fuller bradallenful...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks Dianne, Then perhaps there are ways to implement partial events for incoming calls. When an incoming call is detected, I imagine that there are several separate events. For example: get the number of the incoming call; see if it's in the contact list; display the onscreen graphic of an incoming with the phone number and the contact name, call the ringtone manager: etc. Then, when the phone is off-hook, display Call in progess text.. etc. I assume that these are separate classes. So, could one display their own incoming call graphic? Or replace the RingTone manager (not the ringtone, like ExtendedRings does), etc? Or are they not separate classes or all private? Does that make sense?

The issue of built-in apps using internal APIs is kind-of a red-herring. Yes, in the case of the phone UI, there are a bunch of APIs that you need to be able to implement something like your own in-call screen... however the fact that they are internal is not really the issue: we could expose them, but it still wouldn't work because the current implementation of them requires that you actually be running in the same process as the telephony subsystem, so they just can't be used by other apps. For the most part, we make APIs private because they are not yet something we can maintain in the future platform are even able to be used successfully by applications. Not out of some malicious goal to make sure nobody else can make their own whatever UI. Outside of the phone system, for the most part the platform applications use private APIs because we didn't have time to clean all of the apps up as we were evolving the official SDK into something that we could support in the long term. We would love to accept patches that fix these APIs to switch to the public APIs.

[android-developers] HELP! (was Re: Low on space)
Guys, Does anyone know what's the *FREE* internal memory initially when you get the phone? I've heard ~70MB, ~96MB, etc. Apparently not for me, it appears that I have 9MB! :O :O :O This is getting ridiculous, I've cleared the browser's cache and got 2MB back, I have only *ONE* application installed which takes 2MB and I have just 7MB of free memory. According to HTC's spec[1], G1 has 256 MB ROM, let's say 1/2 is used by the OS. Where TF is the rest? :( @Google employees: WTF was the developer of the Settings/SD card and phone storage preference screen thinking??? I can see I have X MBs of free memory, but out of HOW MUCH? How much of HOW MUCH has been used by the OS and how much by the apps installed on it? I *am* now desperate, I've read so much insane posts on the net such as unplug and replug your battery, I got 20 MBs back, probably a leak and not ONE solution. This is serious, if I got to this situation there's a possibility that other users will hit that too, and these won't be developers.

[android-developers] WebView/Browser: How to browse files from the sdcard?
Hi, I am trying to browse files from the sd card, but haven't had any success so far. Maybe I am doing something wrong, so I'd like to write down the steps for your feedback. The sample contains of an html file that references a png. (1) localhost:~ mkamp$ cat test.html html pHello World!img src=test.png/p /html (2) I transfer the two files to the sdcard like this: localhost:~ mkamp$ adb push test.html /sdcard/. 10 KB/s (57 bytes in 0.005s) localhost:~ mkamp$ adb push test.png /sdcard/. 709 KB/s (3180 bytes in 0.004s) (3) To check if they are there I get them back and compare the version I pulled back with the version I pushed doing the following: localhost:~ mkamp$ adb pull /sdcard/test.png test2.png 829 KB/s (3180 bytes in 0.003s) localhost:~ mkamp$ adb pull /sdcard/test.html test2.html 0 KB/s (57 bytes in 0.110s) localhost:~ mkamp$ diff test.html test2.html localhost:~ mkamp$ md5 test.png test2.png MD5 (test.png) = 49cde2f11086e4ebcb1aff45deaae750 MD5 (test2.png) = 49cde2f11086e4ebcb1aff45deaae750 So life should be good, right? (4) Well, when trying to browse those files in the Android browser with the url file:///sdcard/test.html I get Web page not available. The Web page at file:///scard/test.html could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found. (5) The system logs shows: E/browser ( 239): onReceivedError code:-13 The requested file was not found.

I'm using 500k buffers (down from 1MB, down from 1.5MB in an effort to
avoid OOMEs) to load images, the images themselves are ~300k (taken
with the phone's camera). I can't imagine why it is trying to allocate
6MB.
I have fixed my thread issue (even when not changing orientation this
issue occurs), and I am using locking to prevent two of my threads
from using this method at the same time, but I still see this error,
although less frequently.
It seems to come and go: sometimes I can't seem to load a single image
for a period of a minute or two, and then the problem will go away. Is
it possible that these errors can be the result of concurrent access
to this native method by my app and other apps?

I'm still seeing this problem. I've used the bitmap.recycle() which
seems to mitigate this problem, but not get rid if it entirely. I'm
only processing one bitmap at a time, I recycle the bitmap, null it,
and call gc(). Runtime.freeMemory() indicates that I have over 10 MB
free memory, none of my bitmaps are over 3.5 MB, I only process one at
a time, yet this problem still occurs intermittently. Is this a bug or
low level memory leak? I've spent a considerable amount of time on
this issue, but cannot seem to resolve it. I'd at least like to know
if this is a documented bug, or if there is any hope of a resolution
in future Android version. The problem seems to arise from
BitmapFactory.decodeFile() . I've communicated with other developers
that seem to have almost the exact same problem. I'd like to at least
know if this is on the radar as a bug, and if there is any chance it
will be dealt with in a future version of Android. Thanks

Use less memory. One full screen PNG uses roughly 480*320*4 bytes (~=

~1.2MB per view. With 5 views you are using about 6 MB of memory (out
of 16 MB maximum) just for the background images.

Perhaps now. Most likely, you had ~70MB when you got the phone. This is getting ridiculous, I've cleared the browser's cache and got 2MB back, I have only *ONE* application installed which takes 2MB If you go into Manage Applications and you have only one item listed, your phone is probably messed up, and I would recommend a reset. The device comes with dozens of apps installed, some of which (AFAIK) are not removable. and I have just 7MB of free memory. So, free up some memory. For example, on my G1, as I type this, I have 35MB of internal phone storage available. I then go into Settings Applications Manage Applications and sort the results by size descending via the option menu. The top entry is Android Market, at 14MB. There is a known bug in the Android Market where it does not clear its cache proactively. But, it will flush the cache when it is needed, so I effectively have closer to 49MB available. There are enough posts from enough people that I feel reasonably comfortable that most of that space will be reclaimed if/when I need it. #2 entry is the Browser. I go in, click Clear Data, and the app falls somewhere way down the list, and my listed available space is 45MB (plus the 14MB or so that will get freed up by Android Market when needed). Lather, rinse, repeat. If the rough total of space reported by the Manage Applications list, plus the amount of reported free storage space, does not add up to anything near ~70MB, then something on your device is leaking storage, and I would recommend a reset. This is serious, if I got to this situation there's a possibility that other users will hit that too, and these won't be developers. Which is why there have been discussions on various approaches for installing apps on SD cards, to support manufacturers (like, apparently, HTC) who skimp on the on-board flash. The fact that HTC did this is not the fault of the core Android team, as Android is licensed as open source, so HTC can do what it damn well feels like. If you want to grouse about the ~70MB of free on-device storage space, please grouse in HTC's general direction.

I have never seen anything remove the lost files from the Android market.

That wipes out bookmarks, passwords, cookies, history..

Root access would allow him to remove the errant caches. That sounds like

[android-developers] Performance Problem with ListView / Styled TextView
Hi,
I have a performance problem in a ListView. The problem seems to be
that it takes too long to setup each individual row. It scrolls very,
very painfully slow, because of that.
The actual code renders an Entry differently depending on the read
state and if it is changed. When not using this code and just plainly
called setText() on the TextViews it is reasonable fast. Also the
content is HTML.
Am I doing something terribly wrong here?
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
TextView android:id=@+id/feed_title
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content android:textSize=11sp
android:paddingTop=3px /
TextView android:id=@+id/entry_title
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_below=@id/
feed_title
android:textSize=15sp android:paddingBottom=3px /
/RelativeLayout
class EntryListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
[..]
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View rowView = convertView != null ? convertView : activity
.findViewById(R.layout.entry_row);
if (rowView == null)
rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.entry_row, parent,
false);
Entry entry = entries.get(position);
-- slow version
EntryViewHelper.populateEntryView(rowView, entry);
--
-- OR --
-- (somewhat) fast version
TextView entryTitleView = (TextView)
rowView.findViewById(R.id.entry_title);
TextView feedTitleView = (TextView)
rowView.findViewById(R.id.feed_title);
feedTitleView.setText(entry.getFeedTitle());
entryTitleView.setText(entry.getTitle());
--
return rowView;
}
}
class EntryViewHelper {
[..]
static void populateEntryView(View view, Entry entry) {
TextView entryTitleView = (TextView) view
.findViewById(R.id.entry_title);
TextView feedTitleView = (TextView)
view.findViewById(R.id.feed_title);
feedTitleView.setText(U.renderTitleToSpannedString(
entry.getFeedTitle(),
entry.getFeedTitleType()));
entryTitleView.setText(U.renderTitleToSpannedString(entry.getTitle(),
entry.getTitleType()));
int style = Typeface.NORMAL;
if (!entry.isRead())
style |= Typeface.BOLD;
if (entry.isReadStatePending())
style |= Typeface.ITALIC;
entryTitleView.setText(U.renderTitleToSpannedString(entry.getTitle(),
entry
.getTitleType()));
feedTitleView.setText(U.renderTitleToSpannedString(
entry.getFeedTitle(),
entry.getFeedTitleType()));
entryTitleView.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, style);
}
}
..
import android.text.Html;
import android.text.Spanned;
import android.text.SpannedString;
..
class U {
static Spanned renderTitleToSpannedString(String titleString,
String titleType) {
Spanned title = null;
if (html.equals(titleType) || xhtml.equals(titleType))
title = Html.fromHtml(titleString);
else
title = new SpannedString(titleString);
return title;
}
}
Btw. I re-use the convert view etc. The performance degradation
only happens when I style the output.
Cheers,
Mariano

To run emulator with sd card you do mksdcard 512M sdimg.iso then start
emulator as 'emulator.exe -sdcard sdimg.iso'
private void startRecord() {
mRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT);
mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
mRecorder.setOutputFile(/sdcard/test.3gpp);
mRecorder.prepare();
mRecorder.start();
}
then elsewhere mRecorder.stop();
then to play
mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(context, Uri.parse(mFilePath));
mPlayer.start();

[android-developers] Reusing object for message
Hi, I'm trying to avoid recreating an object for each time I want to
send a message, but for some reason, only old data gets sent unless I
create a new object each time.
I've declared an Object array of the size I need inside my class and
then set the variables passed to my method to each index and then call
Message.obtain(myHandler, 0, myObjectArr).sendToTarget(). When I reuse
the object, most messages get dropped and I see the last message send
in their place instead.
But when I use Message.obtain(myHandler, 0, new Object[] { val1,
val2}).sendToTarget(), I always receive the data intact. I think this
might be caused by the same issue that caused my Bundles to get lost
(posted about it before).
Any ideas what would cause this? It's really frustrating that I have
to create a new Object each time. Given that loads of message will be
sent, it's not that really efficient.

[android-developers] Re: Manipulate Drawable Resource
Thanks for all of the responses guys. I am referring to the actual notification icons that show up in the title bar. I know that a Drawable can be manipulated in many ways and that's what I would like to do in order to update the icon but the main problem here is that the Notification object constructor only takes a resource id of a drawable that was already predefined. Therefore this limits you to icons that were added to the application before compilation. It would be nice if I could change the drawable programmatically in my application and then pass that as the notification icon but it seems that it's not possible. I was hoping there was a way to do this but I haven't had much luck finding a solution since I posted this. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The device comes with dozens of apps installed, some of which (AFAIK) are not removable. I guess I had not explained myself very clearly. I do have all pre-installed apps on my phone. Besides them I ONLY have 1 app, which takes 2MB. and I have just 7MB of free memory. So, free up some memory. Read below my answers but basically I've done anything possible to free up space and I still have 5 MB. For example, on my G1, as I type this, I have 35MB of internal phone storage available. I then go into Settings Applications Manage Applications and sort the results by size descending via the option menu. Me too, and I see this (after sorting by size in descending order): The other app - 2MB My app - 2MB IM - 848 KB ... all others are pre-installed Android apps taking kilobytes The top entry is Android Market, at 14MB. There is a known bug in the Android Market where it does not clear its cache proactively. But, it will flush the cache when it is needed, so I effectively have closer to 49MB available. There are enough posts from enough people that I feel reasonably comfortable that most of that space will be reclaimed if/when I need it. #2 entry is the Browser. I go in, click Clear Data, and the app falls somewhere way down the list, and my listed available space is 45MB (plus the 14MB or so that will get freed up by Android Market when needed). Lather, rinse, repeat. The browser was taking only 3MB, I said it in my last post. If the rough total of space reported by the Manage Applications list, plus the amount of reported free storage space, does not add up to anything near ~70MB, then something on your device is leaking storage, and I would recommend a reset. Now I have a very important question before I do that - I own an unlocked phone (a friend of mine bought it unlocked) and I'm in Bulgaria. The question is whether I'd have to re-activate the phone after the factory reset, because apparently I can't activate it, and do not know for sure whether those send as $25 and we'll send you an unlock code websites *actually* work if I get screwed and have to re-activate. This is serious, if I got to this situation there's a possibility that other users will hit that too, and these won't be developers. Which is why there have been discussions on various approaches for installing apps on SD cards, to support manufacturers (like, apparently, HTC) who skimp on the on-board flash. The fact that HTC did this is not the fault of the core Android team, as Android is licensed as open source, so HTC can do what it damn well feels like. If you want to grouse about the ~70MB of free on-device storage space, please grouse in HTC's general direction. I understand that the device is manufactured, and I am happy to have 70 MB for apps (at least until a next release enables apps to launch from a modified FAT32 SD card or whatever Google comes up with), but the thing is I *don't* have these 70 MBs, I have 1/10 of them :((( I *SO* regret installing the over-the-air patch, which removed root access :((( Which would not have helped you one bit. Disconnect's post below answers why I'd need root access. I could at least view the file system and decide whether a file should be there or not (acknowledging that I might break the phone by doing that) - but at least I could see that say in /var/tmp there's a huge .log file or whatever and let someone (e.g. Google engineers) about that.

btw, *THIS* is ridiculous. Just deleted that app which takes 2MB, and deleted my app as well. When I went to see the free space it HADN'T CHANGED!!!

[android-developers] Re: Full multitouch working on the G1, new approach (video + source)
My personal take is that there is a whole lot of prior art (the iPhone was not the first by a long shot), so it's probably not super- defensible in court... but Apple has deep pockets and an elite image to maintain. They apparently have about 200 patents on the iPhone, two of which especially deal with their touchscreen technology -- but I haven't looked into the details.

[android-developers] Is there a simple way to do Key/Value with Spinners?
I'm familiar with arrays.xml to define static data sets for spinners and this works fine except that so far I am only able to define lists of values for the spinner. What I need now is to have keys associated with those values so that in the future when I add new elements in arbitrary positions, it won't matter and the code won't have to be updated to handle it. I'd like it if it worked like the select/option in html. The idea is to have a data set like this: Key / Value - flwr1 / Rose flwr2 / Daffodil and the spinner would show Rose Daffodil but the code can get to flwr1 flwr2 Sounds easy enough, right?

[android-developers] Notifications from a service, forced Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK problem
I am trying to create a notification in a service to notify the user
that the application's data has updated in the background. I want the
application to resume when they click the notification. When I click
the notification I get this message in DDMS:
01-11 16:16:10.574: WARN/ActivityManager(56): startActivity called
from non-Activity context; forcing Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK for:
Intent { comp={com.example/com.example.view.ExampleActivity} }
This forces the activity to start even if it is already paused or
stopped, so it never resumes, it just creates a new instance of it,
overlapping everything, including service connections. If the
application is already running, another copy of it starts on top of
it. How do I make Android just resume the activity?
Thankful for any help!
Warm Regards,
Torgny

[android-developers] Re: Multiple alarms - Intent aims at the same service but different values - Not possible?
The identity of an Intent is based on the action, data, type, and categories; the extras are not considered. If you want to have two different PendingIntent objects, you'll need to have something different about them in those basic fields.

When an incoming call is detected, I imagine that there are several separate events. For example: get the number of the incoming call; see if it's in the contact list; display the onscreen graphic of an incoming with the phone number and the contact name, call the ringtone manager: etc. Then, when the phone is off-hook, display Call in progess text.. etc. I assume that these are separate classes. So, could one display their own incoming call graphic? Or replace the RingTone manager (not the ringtone, like ExtendedRings does), etc? Or are they not separate classes or all private? Does that make sense?

The issue of built-in apps using internal APIs is kind-of a red-herring. Yes, in the case of the phone UI, there are a bunch of APIs that you need to be able to implement something like your own in-call screen... however the fact that they are internal is not really the issue: we could expose them, but it still wouldn't work because the current implementation of them requires that you actually be running in the same process as the telephony subsystem, so they just can't be used by other apps. For the most part, we make APIs private because they are not yet something we can maintain in the future platform are even able to be used successfully by applications. Not out of some malicious goal to make sure nobody else can make their own whatever UI. Outside of the phone system, for the most part the platform applications use private APIs because we didn't have time to clean all of the apps up as we were evolving the official SDK into something that we could support in the long term. We would love to accept patches that fix these APIs to switch to the public APIs.

I'm using Windows and the only thing I did to the emulator was to emulate sd

Apart from that, provided that your mic works with Windows, there's no need to
setup anything. I don't know about Ubuntu but it should be the same.

[android-developers] Re: Power management in Android
How about reading on the capacity of battery via 'dumpsys battery'? I think the battery lifetime can be monitored by logging periodic readings on the current battery level. Is there any Android application showing the battery lifetime (or power consumption on system level or application level)?

[android-developers] Re: Full multitouch working on the G1, new approach (video + source)
Unless an SDK is released with multi-touch support, this discussion is probably better off in android-discuss or android-platform.

They apparently have about 200 patents on the iPhone, two of which especially deal with their touchscreen technology -- but I haven't looked into the details.

I capture the multitouch events and then hijack an unused field in MotionEvent to pass the multitouch events in a way that only affects programs that have been designed to work in multitouch mode -- i.e. this did not require re- plumbing the event system. The approach also does not require any kernel modifications, it just needs modifications to one Java system class.

I get only one alarm registered. Do I really have to implement two services (which do nearly the same) for that to work?
