[android-developers] SAXParser getting stuck on certain characters
I'm using a SAXParser to parse an XML document and its getting stuck on certain symbols like the 'trademark' symbol and I think even double- quotes ". I really don't need these characters so it would be fine if the parser just skips over these. Instead it throws an exception and quits parsing the document. What can I do? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Map Server
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate any help on this. I do understand that the emulator doesn't use the machine's host file and that Android has its own read-only /etc/hosts file. I'm looking for an easier way to redirect google.com to my own fusion server that doesn't involve setting up a private DNS and using the -dns-server flag. Host files obviously make this simple. In pre r1&r2 you could adb push your own hosts file. This was obviously patched. So is the only solution to set up my own DNS? Has to be an easier way.

[android-developers] adb stopped working (Ubuntu 8.10)
All,
I shut down my PC (running Ubuntu 8.10, fully updated) overnight and
when I booted the following day, `adb devices` failed to recognize my
stock, OTA-updated, RC30 G1. I followed the instructions listed here:
http://code.google.com/android/intro/develop-and-debug.html#developingondevicehardware
e...@evan-desktop:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
e...@evan-desktop:~$ adb kill-server && adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 offline
To answer some preliminary questions:
- Yes, I have my phone on.
- It's on a USB 2.0 port.
- Yes, it sees the emulator(s), but not my device.
- Yes, "USB debugging" is enabled on the phone (and I tried toggling it).
- I've rebooted both the phone and the PC.
- I'm using the latest the 1.0_r2 SDK from the site.
- I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu, but it also fails to work in my 32-bit VM
(that also previously worked).
I spent a few hours in the #android-dev channel with a few very
helpful people, but we got nowhere.
Any help is enormously appreciated!

[android-developers] android.provider.Contacts.PeopleColumns.PHOTO_VERSION
I am currently accessing the contacts from sqlite, using pre-defined
CONTENT_URI, as described in:
http://code.google.com/intl/fr/android/devel/data/contentproviders.html#querying
In Contacts.PeopleColumns, there should be a PHOTO_VERSION
("photo_version") column, as described in:
http://code.google.com/intl/fr/android/reference/android/provider/Contacts.PeopleColumns.html
So, let's:
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
null, " display_name ASC ");
startManagingCursor(c);
if( !c.moveToFirst()) {
return;
}
int idxPhoto = c.getColumnIndex(PeopleColumns.PHOTO_VERSION);
idxPhoto is set to -1... Examining c with a debugger shows that no
such column exists in the query. Is it a documentation bug, or am I
missing something?

[android-developers] Re: Different package name than the one in AndroidManifest.xml to the generated resource class
Not sure, if what we think would be possible or not in andorid.. However.. based on JavaME application framework, we do have different libaries and different modules to use in any application. i.e Foundation libraries, Application Modules, Application Assembly Code. In all, there are certain i18n parts.say for the foundation libaries, 'can't read a file from filesystem' etc. As foundation is used by more than one application, we do seperate all the resources needed for foundation and would Like to put them a in explicit package and class name FoundationR etc.. with in foundation sources. This would enhance readablity..and find code voilations by seeing the name during the compile time errors. It may be better approach of generating once single name for application... but we need to keep the foundation resources in every application..

[android-developers] Re: 3G network response different from Wifi
Thanks for the reply! There is apparently a port scanner for Windows Mobile, but it isn't open source so I can't take a look at it, and it doesn't mention anything about 3G or different providers anyway. This is pale in comparison to nmap, which as a bunch of low level tricks. This is just attempting to make tcp/udp connections on each successive port using the native connect() method (a port of a program called JMap). Hrmm. Other threads on this list mention something about T-Mobile running a proxy service of some sort and I'm wondering if this is important. I just don't see what would make it work on a wifi network and not on 3G! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I'd flip the question around: are you aware of port scanners that work on other mobile platforms over their 3G connections, particularly T-Mobile's? For example, is there a port scanner for Windows Mobile that works over T-Mobile's 3G? If this has been done before, just not on Android, then your problems may be an Android issue. However, it wouldn't shock me if there's something funky with the way that 3G is implemented that might confound a port scanner, or something odd in the way T-Mobile has set up firewalls and routers that might cause strange results. If that's the case, though, then there might be information associated with other port scanner projects that might explain the behavior and document any possible workarounds. The only port scanner I have much personal experience with is nmap, and I do not see much one way or the other about using nmap over T-Mobile's 3G. With luck, you'll get a more definitive response to your query -- I'm mentioning this as an alternative path of investigation. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training in Sweden -- http://www.sotrium.com/training.php --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to start an activity in another package
I have an application called syncclient with two packages: net.sktechnology.android.sycnclient net.sktechnology.android.update The first is the main package (the one specified in the run configuration). I have set up the build path Libraries and Projects so that it can access the classes in the second package without a problem. The update package has an Activity called Update. I would like to be able to start the Update activity from the syncclient application. If I install Update as a separate application, I can start the Update Activity from syncclient since update has a manifist with the appropriate intent filter for the Update activity. If I do not install Update as a separate application, I believe that only the manifest of syncclient is used, and it cannot (as far as I can figure out) reference the Update Activity which is in a different package. My quesiton is: Can you have a single application with two packages and be able to start activities from both packages?

[android-developers] Re: Activity Issue on G1 phone
I meant that the static variable would -hold- the current activity. Everything in your .apk runs in one process. When you declare a static variable, that is creating a global to all code in that process. You can make a static variable pointing to an Activity: static Activity mCurActivity = null; In your activity's onCreate() set it to 'this'. In onDestroy() set it to null. Now someone else -- a thread or whatever -- can come in, and retrieve the value of mCurActivity to find out the current activity that has been set.

[android-developers] Re: Activity Issue on G1 phone
Dianne, I can't quite figure out what you mean by "setting a static variable in the current activity", and how it would work. If I set a static variable in my activity and then pass that static variable to my thread, then the activity is destroyed, and a new one is created.. Then what happens? The new activity will create another static variable, but the thread won't know about it, so how would it help? And the new activity doesn't know about the thread, so I don't think it would have the information it needed to alert the thread that it can now accept the information. What am I missing? What I currently do is set a static variable in my thread which is the handler to my activity, and then if the activity is destroyed before the thread completes, it sets the handler variable in the thread to null before it completes. The thread then checks the Handler variable before it tries to send the information, and just cleans up after itself if it cannot send the information. Then, when the new activity is created it checks to see if it still needs the information and creates a new thread if needed. BUT.. if there is a way for the new activity to get the Handle of the Thread created by the old activity, then I could easily change the thread to wait for a few seconds waiting for a new Handler to be assigned, and that would be much more efficient. Do you have an example you can point me to?

Both screen rotation and keyboard shown/hidden are configuration changes, which means that after the state changes the application's resources can have any arbitrary new values -- anything from specific strings (for ex in a particular language you may need a abbreviation when in portrait mode) to layout resources and anything else.

To be a correct application, you already need to deal with saving and restoring state so you will always be returned to the user in your previous state after being in the background. By relying on this same mechanism for configuration changes, we get to take advantage of the work the developer has already done, and also further encourage them to actually do that work which otherwise often only causes problems in the application in obscure cases, so can often be missed. For the case of a thread running in the background that wants to communicate back with the current activity, an easy way to deal with this is to have a static variable that is the "current" activity, which you set in your onCreate() and clear in onDestroy(). Then instead of pointing to the activity that originally started it, the thread can just retrieve the current value in that variable when it needs it. (And of course it will need to deal with the race where it can temporarily be null between the old activity being destroyed and the new one created... but if you are doing multithreaded programming, this should be familiar territory!)

[android-developers] Re: Theme.Dialog for PreferenceScreen child does not work
I'm just beginning to use preferences. My next Alpha is going to have resolution adjustements. In 3-d a lot of people can't read the screen easily, and on the .net, they think the font is too big. If you use the editor to commit preferences, once changed, it works well. Just in the create of each activity, re-acquire the setting. As long as the change has been committed, it reads the most recent one. That's what I found. John. http://radiolistenersElectricEasel.com, Inc.

Than when I have results post the video and a text file of the debug output window in a wiki article so that develpoer can read and use. This way we are not spinning our wheels each month wondering about the same damn thing over and over again. Yes wil even do a Knol article for developers to use..

[android-developers] Re: Sporadic SharedPreferences reset
Yeah, Base64 encoding would certainly help until the platform bug is fixed. I guess a lot of people with strong passwords (i.e. passwords containing special characters) are in trouble with a lot of apps right now. It's funny you mention two apps I share parts of the codebase with. I stripped down ImapStore for my app and included it as a jar in my package. But it's very very unlikely that this would have an impact.

Apparently, it is:

My CSS-fu is weak, but I suspect that means "make

[android-developers] "There is a problem communicating with Google servers"
I just got the Dev. phone today and trying to get it "up and running'. I am trying to create a google account but I keep getting an error message "There is a problem communicating with Google servers This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. if it continues, call Customer Care." First, I know that my SIM has a data plan. After all, I have been using text messages, navigation...etc with it. So, I don't think it is the SIM problem. It could be a "temporary problem". But, what is "a temporary problem" ? I have been trying a few times within the last hour and still getting the same error messages. It said, "if it continues, call Customer Care.". I don't know if this helps because my carrier would just say, yes I have data plan provision with the SIM card. Does anyone have any suggestion to what went wrong ? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I can't help you off-hand with the problem, but for what it's worth preferences really aren't intended to be used with a dialog theme.

[android-developers] Map Server
All, Anyone know of a way to change the server that a MapActivity looks at for maps and images? By default the MapActivity it is pointed to http://www.google.com:80. If you are operating on a self contained network (disconnected from the open internet) google cannot be resolved. But if you are running your own google fusion server you should be able to point to it as the map server. I've already tried pointing www.google.com to the ip of the fusion server in my /etc/ hosts file. Appears the emulator doesn't use the hosts file. Any thoughts?

[android-developers] Re: Parsing RSS feeds, encoding problems
The issue has still "new" status so either Google is just ignoring it
or they think it's a bug in my code.
I tried a little more and I experienced similar problems when fetching
XML that has encoded html inside the tags (typically RSS feeds). This
code works perfectly when running on the desktop but on android it
just refuses to give me the text after it encounters "<" in this
node:
Test html chars: v2.1 released.
The full sample code is included below in case someone would like to
give it a try or tell me if I am missing something here!?
Desktop output:
* RSS: Test html chars: v2.1 released. Read about the
changes here!
Android output:
Test html chars:
Sample code:
URI rssurl = URI.create("http://www.hvaerstillingen.no/docs/rss/
test.txt");
try {
DocumentBuilder builder =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(rssurl.toURL().openStream());
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("item");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);
NodeList title = element.getElementsByTagName("title");
Element line = (Element) title.item(0);
Element descEl = (Element) element.getElementsByTagName
("description").item(0);
Node textNode = descEl.getFirstChild();
System.out.println("* RSS: "+ textNode.getNodeValue
());
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

[android-developers] Request regarding release
Hello Android Team, you guys rock. The platform, the dev phone, ... ... the end less list is excellent. And I know for sure that this is already on your mind but here is a formal request: "Please DON'T release an official cupcake based firmware for ADP1 till you can provide us the procedure to get the same release level firmware by building on our own." Many developers would have observed that there is no way to build with the cupcake features and yet get a fully usable system on our own. Mainly - the build config even when building for htc_dream seems to ignore wifi, bluetooth etc. - there seem to be proprietary binaries that are incompatible with the new kernel - apparently there isn't a easy way in spite of extract_files.sh to actually back up all non-open stuff. Many apps go missing! - provide the backing up of installed apps as a step during build&install. ... or at least provide us clear documentation on this. It is ill to get most of this from xda-developers site or some other.. Internally google/android, htc and t-mob might be using a different source tree and that is absolutely fine but with Google's good motive to promote ADP1 and development on this platform, such incomplete SDKs leave a black mark. Make it simple for us by providing a date to repo sync up to on the public source branch. Provide the closed binaries that need to be included plus some scripts such that we can compile the same fully working firmware. Yes, this might not be possible with t-mob g1, but to keep htc_dream build synchronized with the ADP1 should be possible for you. Please. Am sure many other developers would appreciate such a release from the Android/Google teams. I repeat you guys rock, this is just a small push.. err.. a whiff.. in your own direction.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeByteArray inside Threads
How can this possibly help you? You are trying to allocate 61 MB
(3200*4800*4 bytes), which lies well above the 16 MB heap limit. I
tried once to allocate, say, 12 MB at program startup to keep Android
from all the time bumping into the heap limit and possibly crashing as
a result in case its memory management is not 100% reliable, but
trying to allocate 61 MB should not offer any benefit?

Maybe those who figured it out don't want others knowing.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeByteArray inside Threads
YES YES YES!!!
I've found solution for that bug.
It's tricky but it works.
Place that on the begining of your code.
try{
Bitmap tmpBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap
(3200, 4800,
Config.ARGB_);
}catch(Throwable e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("CATCHED ");
}
I was fighting with that about 4 days.
Hope anyone is happy now, that was hell.

[android-developers] Re: License text to use for display in Android App under ASL 2.0
A better solution for the end user is to set up some display indicating wher ethe library licenses are to read, for example my Xspot app : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiPDOrkPCxQ ...it displays the name of libraries used and than points users to wards the license for that library On Jan 24, 7:06 am, Kavita wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on an Android app that's licensed under Apache Software > License 2.0.

[android-developers] Re: Please help! My game lags too much!
First of all, you should profile your game - take a look at android.os.Debug.start/stopMethodTracing and identify the bottleneck(s). Then, if you've never written a game, chances are your game loop will suck (that is, if you *had* a game loop, you're merely invalidating and redrawing the screen) - take a look at LunarLander's source code, also Alien Bloodbath, etc. - there are lots of resources on the net on the topic of writing a game loop - google for "Fix your time step" to find a very good one.

+1 - I'm experiencing the same thing here. The PreferenceScreen is drawn with the black theme. BTW, preferences with the dialog theme act weird when scrolled (parts of the preferences are drawn on black background black while scrolling) but I think I can fix that - someone mentioned about cacheColor or something like that...

[android-developers] Re: Updated app not showing up in Market's "by date" sorting?
There's been multiple posts of this and no answers from Google, so is this a "hack" that someone has found? It might seem like it since nobody is willing to post examples of how to get their app to the top of the list when releasing an upgrade. I've released multiple upgrades but the "by-date" sorting isn't changed. -Christer On Jan 24, 5:15 pm, John wrote: > Yea you're right, some of them definitely do get pushed to the top > when updated.

[android-developers] Theme.Dialog for PreferenceScreen child does not work
Hi All, I have a PreferenceActivity defined in the manifest with android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog. The theme works well with the first settings screen, but not with the child PreferenceScreen elements (if I have several screens in my preferences). The child screens have the default Theme applied in this case. If the theme is changed to Theme.Light or the default, it works well for all the screens(parent and children included) Is there a way to apply the theme to the children, or is this a BUG ?

Is there a way to control the width of the three scrollbars for DatePick? I wanted to make the following layout, but the default setup can't fit into the screen.
