[android-developers] ACTION_CALL without permission
Hi all,
I'm making some test about Android permission with a very simple
application. I'm launching this Intent
Uri callUri = Uri.parse("tel://12345678");
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,callUri);
callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(callIntent);
and using this configuration file
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0.0"
package="it.libroandroid.cap03.call">
without any permission.
The problem is the phone dial the number but I didn't set any
permission. I know something has changed in last release but.
Where's the trouble?
Thankx
Max

[android-developers] automatic start using Alaram Manager problem
I created one application to start application After particular time
interval. My application working fine but it does not do particular
work
after particular time. I mean it does not used to start automatically
after the time which i set in AlaramManager.
My coding and xml file is as below.
The following is the code of my mail class which extends Activity. I
have done following thing in it
try
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Lalu_Android.this, OneShotAlarm.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(Lalu_Android.this,
0, intent, 0);
// We want the alarm to go off 30 seconds from now.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, 15);
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), sender);
tv.setText("Successful");
setContentView(tv);
//finish();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
tv.setText("Url not called successfully");
setContentView(tv);
}
The following is a class which extends BroadcastReceiver . Which
should
be invoked after particular time.
public class OneShotAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver
{
//Lalu_Android la=new Lalu_Android();
CallUrl ca;
//TextView tv = new TextView();
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
System.out.println("In one shot alaram");
Toast.makeText(context, "Alaram", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ca=new CallUrl();
//Toast.makeText(context, R.string.one_shot_received,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
/*Intent smsIntent = new Intent();
smsIntent.setClassName("com.android.hello",
"com.android.hello.SendSms");
//startActivity(smsIntent);
//la. */
}
}
The CallUrl is a another class which i want to execute its method
onCreate() when application starts by AlaramManager so i create the
object of it in the OneShotAlaram.
The following my xml file.
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.saltriver.android"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0.0">
I am in the big trouble i hope some one will reply me as early as
possible.

[android-developers] Re: How to know which element of my list is selected when long click
That's the reason:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/12/touch-mode.html
And to get the selected item, use the following:
@Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
final AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info =
(AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
}
The info object contains everything you need.

[android-developers] Re: WebKit/WebView and Focus Highlighting
I'm one of the "design guys" Mark was talking about. I found scant documentation on Apple's site about -webkit-focus-ring- color, but from what I saw and my own tests on an Android emulator and Safari, it appears that this is not a writable property, but an OS- level constant that is applied to elements with focus. Here's the page I found that calls this a constant and not a property: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/appleapplications/Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html For example, I tried the following: 1 In Android, the focus ring remained orange. In Safari, it remained blue. Mark, not sure what this means for us. Maybe you can hack the OS and set this value to transparent? C'mon, you can do magic, right? :-) On Jan 23, 2:07 am, Mark Murphy wrote: > Fred Grott(shareme) wrote: > > Found it :) I hope > > > how about webkit-focus-ring-color > > > Does that sound correct Mark? > > > I mean there would have to be say an admin.css with webkit in Android > > setting this to orange correct? > > > Thus, the question is can we override it? > > In my case, I'd settle for just disabling it.

[android-developers] start Activity without Manifest

[android-developers] How to know which element of my list is selected when long click
Hi everyone, I have a list using a customized BaseAdapter. When one element of the list is hit during a long time, a contextual menu appears. I want to use this one to delete or edit the selected item but I don't know how to get id or anything else that could help me. I tried getListView.getSelectedItem() thinking that it will give me the object returned by the method getItem(int position) inherited in my customized BaseAdapter. I got null. When I tried getSelectedItemId(), I got -1. Does someone have a solution?

[android-developers] Error displaying JPEG image thumbnails
I'm currently having problems displaying camera images as thumbnails.
I use the following code when I am taking the camera photo...
String filename = timeStampFormat.format(new Date());
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Media.TITLE, filename);
values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, "new Image");
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
//insert file onto SD card
imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
values);
camDemo = new ImageCaptureCallback( getContentResolver
().openOutputStream(imageUri));
This Image capture callback code is as follows...
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
try {
filoutputStream.write(data);
//pic.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 40,
filoutputStream);
filoutputStream.flush();
filoutputStream.close();
} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
When I try to display the full size image it works ok but when I try
to display as a thumbnail I get the following exception...
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath
(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, "72");
Can anyone help?

[android-developers] Discover bluetooth devices
Hi, I know there isn't bluetooth API in 1.0 SDK, but I have a doubt. I need to know the visible bluetooth devices. That is, I only need do a scan of the bluetooth devices and save the diferent addresses. I don't need connect to them. I have read here http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/8ae8f68a4be98811/7c5099aa48bc2cef?lnk=gst&q=bluetooth that API "only expose functionality to use/control headsets (audio profile)." And now my question: It is possible do this functionality? Can I find which bluetooth devices are visible?

[android-developers] Re: Why Android?
Hi all, I have experience in J2ME and Symbian developing too. I'm also a Java programmer since 1995. At the moment I think Android is the best mobile platform for me because it's relatively easy to develop and permits a great integration with the device. I just have a doubt. Is maybe Android a "developer oriented" platform or can be also a "user oriented platform". I think that, at the moment, iPhone has something more but I hope that Android devices will arrive at the same level or more from the user experience point of view.

[android-developers] Porting JMF - Native source code to android based
I am creating an Android application which uses the JMF (SIP, RTP, JAIN). So i downloaded the JMF source code for some adhoc change to my application. The basic questions 1. How will it behave the "native files - C/C++/header" in JMF source files(downloaded)? because android is based on java right now. 2. Is there any complete different way to porting/doing the SIP, RTP working in android? Note : The downloaded JMF source code is not direct under from sun.com (this) site but thread start from this forum only. Is there any link from sun.com(this) site for JMF source code?

[android-developers] why Android disable wlan interface when receive EVENT_SUPPLICANT_DISCONNECT
Hi, >From Android source, WifiStateTracker will resetInterface when disconnect with current AP. In resetInterface, disableInterface will be called. It is strange, because when device disconnect from current AP, most cases will rescan APs and continue to other AP for data communication or monitor last network. But if the wlan interface is disabled, if you are using standard wireless extension methods to operation wlan card, ioctl will fail because network down. Is it expected? Or my understanding is wrong?

[android-developers] Re: Does Android Browser support "right menu - open with" ?
Thanks you all, guys... In my scenario, the link is just a common HTML page. User could choose to open the link with another application. So copy the link to the clipboard could work. Then user paste the link to the application for input. I just wonder are there some more user-friendly solution (e.g. "right menu - open with application").

[android-developers] How to get the UTC bias from TimeZone information?
to dear all Android developers, I need to know the UTC bias of my phone to correct the UTC time information I got from a site. I have read earlier posts and already found the solution to get TimeZone information from the "System.currentTimeMillis();" method. However, I need to translate the TimeZone (as like, "Asia/Taipei") to the UTC bias that it has to be (as like, "UTC+8" or other formats). Does anyone know the actual API solution? I have surveyed android.util.TimeUtils and found nothing to do this. The worst solution may I have is to build a "TimeZone/UTC" database table to translate this...

[android-developers] Re: FloatBuffer.put() bug...
As a standalone app, it might be difficult, since the problem does not seem to occur if we look at content of the buffer through java code. But it does have a problem if openGL tries to access it to render, so to get the bug requires a lot of code around it. To get the bug to repro, in the API demos, in Cube.java : - Remove line 75. mVertexBuffer.put(vertices); - After the call to mVertexBuffer.position(0), add the following code : for (int i = 0; i < vertices.length; i ++) mVertexBuffer.put(vertices[i]); Essentially adding vert data one entry at a time, instead of in one shot. You'll see the "cube" displayed is not a cube at all. The verts are messed up. But how it's messed up is different each time you run it. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to re-install & sign android built-in applications
Anything that requires root access to install an application is in no way how Android is designed to work. First you really need to separate developer restrictions from user restrictions. Whether or not a phone allows root access is ultimately a decision of the manufacturer, but generally for Android our preference is for users to have that kind of control of their phone. For what applications can do, however, yes we do have a lot of control over them, and that is very deliberate and not going to change. Giving the user trust that some random app they download from the market is not going to wreak havoc with their device is a basic goal of Android, and we think it is key to having a strong, robust, and open application environment.

Well, at least I found that this behavior is not 100% reproducible, because I wrote that sample app which demonstrates the bug, and it works as expected :( My code, and the code in the sample app is pretty much the same, but I guess I'll have to review it a few more times. Thanks Romain - that actually helped ;) Cheers, Stoyan On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 2:00 AM, Stoyan Damov wrote: > On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 1:49 AM, Romain Guy wrote: >> >> Try with a longer sleep.

Hang on - my problem is not related to locking the entire surface, but only a part of it, passing a dirty rectangle. Locking the entire surface works, locking a part of it doesn't. I would assume that lockCanvas(dirtyRect) is widely used in the system but would appreciate you confirming that.

By default, your activity is destroyed and recreated when the screen orientation changes. In theory, your application should handle this just fine, since it might occur in other cases (e.g., call comes in and your app is abandoned for an extended period).

[android-developers] Age of GPS data
Hi When you get GPS location using getLastKnownLocation, is there a way to check how old the data is, i.e. when the location was last updated? I'm noticing that sometimes my app is giving me an out-of-date location (usually because the sky is not visible when the app starts) - it'd be good to warn the user about this. It's possible to check the age of the data on the iPhone I believe, is it possible in Android? thanks!

You don't -have- to derive from ListActivity, that class is just a convenience for the common case when an activity contains a list.

[android-developers] Activity.showDialog/dismissDialog BUG
Hi guys,
I think there's a bug in either showDialog, dismissDialog or
showing/dismissing a ProgressDialog using these 2 methods, which might
or might not be related to the fact that I'm displaying the dialog
from another thread (marshalled correctly via runOnUiThread).
Here's what I do:
I have a UI thread with a SurfaceView, and another thread which is
doing something asynchronously and needs to show progress.
So, let's say I have these methods on my view, which are accessed by
the background thread:
// BEGIN CODE
private static final int PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID = 888;
private String mProgressMessage;
void showProgress(final String message)
{
mProgressMessage = message;
mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
public final void run()
{
System.out.println("DIALOG " + PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID + ":
about to display: " + message);
mActivity.showDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID);
}
});
}
and
void hideProgress()
{
mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
public final void run()
{
mActivity.dismissDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID);
System.out.println("DIALOG " + PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID + ":
dismissed");
}
});
}
Here's the implementation of onCreate/onPrepareDialog in my activity:
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id)
{
if (id == PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID)
{
System.out.println("DIALOG " + id + ": onCreateDialog called");
mProgressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
// setXxx, setYyy...
mProgressDialog.setMessage(mProgressMessage);
return mProgressDialog;
}
return super.onCreateDialog(id);
}
@Override
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog)
{
super.onPrepareDialog(id, dialog);
if (id == PROGRESS_DIALOG_ID)
{
((ProgressDialog)dialog).setMessage(mProgressMessage);
System.out.println("DIALOG " + id + ": prepared with message:
" + mProgressMessage);
}
}
// END CODE
So, in my background thread, I call showProgress("Some message"), do
some work, and then call hideProgress() - this works, and the output
is:
DIALOG 888: about to display: Some message
DIALOG 888: onCreateDialog called
DIALOG 888: prepared with message: Some message
DIALOG 888: dismissed
But most importantly is that the dialog is indeed displayed.
Then, I chose an item from my menu, which makes the background thread
do some more work, and again it calls:
showProgress("Blah"), does some work, and then hideProgress -
according to the log all is good:
DIALOG 888: about to display: Blah
// onCreateDialog is NOT called, which is what's expected, the dialog is cached
DIALOG 888: prepared with message: Blah
DIALOG 888: dismissed
*EXCEPT* that the dialog is *NOT DISPLAYED* at all.
Now, this *IS* a bug and I'm pretty sure it's not mine too. I *know*
that, because even if I create the dialog and then *remove* it, and
then try to show another dialog (newly created, and even with a
different id!) it won't work either.
Has anyone experienced that and does anyone knows if there's a
workaround for this no matter how pervert it might be.
Thanks,
Stoyan

[android-developers] android:manageSpaceActivity ?
hi there, does there anywhere exist an example on how the applications attribute "android:manageSpaceActivity" is used? .. The documentation sounds interesting, but I do not really have an exact idea on what this attribute does. Or what an Activity named here (that is the attribute value, right?) should do or look like. thanks - --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to deploy large DB with my APK
I'm not sure I understand your problem. You have 100K app code and 800K initialization data - that's below 1 MB. If the app is worth it I don't see any user would complain about your app's size. Most (non-trivial) games will be bigger than that.

It is important that the application is fully functioning imeediately after download. The user should not need to do anything further to use it - so no second downloads.

[android-developers] Preferences not saved *sometimes*
I'm having this problem with one of my apps where some people are reporting that their preferences are not being saved when they close and resume the app. The preferences theyre talking about happen to be actual Preferences (i.e. the built-in preferences manager for an activity). They say they're not doing anything special, just exiting the app and going back to it. Does anyone know why the prefs wouldn't be saved for only this select few people? I'm at a complete loss.

[android-developers] FloatBuffer.put() bug...
There seems to be a bug where calling FloatBuffer.put() on a buffer create as such : ByteBuffer bufferVerts = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(numVerts * 3 * 4); bufferVerts.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()); m_bufferVerts = bufferVerts.asFloatBuffer(); m_bufferVerts.position(0); does not properly write. Basically, calling : m_bufferVerts.put(-0.5f); m_bufferVerts.put(0.5f); m_bufferVerts.put(0.0f); does not give a vert at that location. The vert location is random (Changes each time I run the app), indicating that put did not write anything, leaving memory to whatever garbage it initially had. However, calling m_bufferVerts.put(0, -0.5f); m_bufferVerts.put(1, 0.5f); m_bufferVerts.put(2, 0.0f); works. I can keep my own position counter, but since FloatBuffer claims to have one internally, shouldn't those two pieces of code have the same result? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Not the best solution, but may save your users some memory: Have 2 versions of the software, one with the database and one without. After the database is installed, have the user download the new version wothout the database. You could have a menu item in the large application that downloads the smaller one.

[android-developers] Re: want urgent solution for this
Hi, Android has good support for creating and manipulating bitmaps. Can't you create small bitmaps from the original source bitmap? Perhaps using something like this: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#createBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap, int, int, int, int, android.graphics.Matrix, boolean) Or do you really need to create smaller bitmaps? Is it a sprite? I believe you could draw subsets of the image when drawing it to the canvas.

[android-developers] Re: Does Android Browser support "right menu - open with" ?
there is a way to run a two finger click like the one on macs.
if you run an if statement in ontouchevent
if (event.getSize > .6) {
}
this will get the size of the touch to the screen. placing two fingers
on the screen makes the screen see one big finger even if the fingers
are not touching. most single finger clicks are around .3 for their
size while double finger is around .8 so it is almost impossible to
run this if statement with one finger.

[android-developers] Re: How secure are the IPC methods?
It depends on how paranoid you want to be. The IPC channels are secure -- they generally use shared memory, but it is only mapped either between the processes that are communicating or between a single process and the kernel. Often though people like to be extra paranoid about passwords, and now hand them out to other entities (hashed or not) at all. For example, all of the Google services give their applications access to a session ID allowing them to do just the operations they are supposed to and that can be revoked at any time; they don't get to see your password.

[android-developers] Re: Query about Content Provider queries...
Oh, that's not the problem. That will only have to be done once -- the first time the app is run on a device. The rest of the queries and updates will be to and from my own database. The updates to the content provider will be done in the background, and it's ok if the data isn't up to date immediately upon creation/resuming. The user shouldn't have enough time to see incorrect data and quit the app before he sees it get updated, but it's ok if the incorrect data is seen for a brief period. The thing is, that's what is happening now, but since the queries themselves take a long time, the user doesn't even get to see the incorrect data right away! There is an annoying lag in the program when it is created/resumed, and THEN it gets updated after another brief lag. If I can get rid of the initial lag, long updates done in the background are no problem. I think I have my answer, though. From what you said and with the queries I'm using, I think it will be faster. Thanks a lot for your reply!
