[android-developers] Should onSaveInstanceState call super?

[J . Pablo Fernández]

Hello,

At the beginning of my onSaveInstanceState I was calling
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState) and everything was working fine.
But now I wrote an instrumentation test case which basically does:

Activity activity = getActivity();
getInstrumentation().callActivityOnStart(activity);
getInstrumentation().callActivityOnResume(activity);
Bundle outState = new Bundle();
getInstrumentation().callActivityOnSaveInstanceState(activity, 
outState);

and I'm getting this error: "Only the original thread that created a
view hierarchy can touch its views." (stack trace at the bottom). So
I'm wondering, what am I doing wrong here? the test or the app?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: How do you save the state of an activity on an ActivityUnitTestCase

[J . Pablo Fernández]

Thanks. I did give ActivityInstrumentationTestCase a try but it didn't
work. Now I gave it another try with a fresh look and it's partly
running (the test is failing, but I believe the problem is somewhere
else so if I post I'd do it as another thread).

[android-developers] Re: Dial a USSD code

[sabdart]

Not a bug and it is in the documentation (http://code.google.com/

I should have been escaping the # symbol with %23

String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#");

startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.DIAL",
 Uri.parse("tel:**004*+668190099" + encodedHash)));

[android-developers] DEVICE_POWER permission denied for using goToSleep

[mnj]

Hi,

I wanted to use the funcion goToSleep() in PowerManager Class to force
the device to sleep. But I'm getting an exception and the application
crashes when I call this function. I already have added the
DEVICE_POWER permission in Androidmanifest.xml. When I checked the
logs I could see below error

"E/AndroidRuntime( 2158): Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException:
Neither user 10
020 nor current process has android.permission.DEVICE_POWER."

Has anyone faced this issue before. Does application have
DEVICE_POWER permission. or is it disabled.

Regards,
Manoj

[android-developers] Re: Context of a class

[Dianne Hackborn]

Don't use getBaseContext(), just use the Context you have.

And if you are doing something from a background service, Service is-a
Context, so you can just use the service instance.

[android-developers] Force close (exception) during rotation

[Sean E. Russell]

I have a strange problem where, if the screen is rotated while a
dialog is displayed, an exception gets thrown every time.  It happens
_only_ during this single dialog, and the exception is thrown outside
of the app (there's no trace information that touches any of my
code).  It happens in both the emulator and the G1.

I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions about how I might analyze
this problem, or what might be the cause.  The stack trace, for what
it is worth, follows.  Is this something I can work around, or is it
an Android bug?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Updated app not showing up in Market's "by date" sorting?

[Sean E. Russell]

That sounds like it would do it.

I don't dislike new versions being bumped to the top, actually.
That's how I keep track of which ones have new versions, to be
honest... only now I know it isn't a reliable way to do that.

[android-developers] Re: Simultaneous Photography using Andriod

[Faber Fedor]

As Dave Sparks pointed out, it shouldn't be too difficult to do this, at
least from the Android side. I haven't played with the camera yet, so I
can't give any concrete tips.

Have you thought how you are going to coordinate the "thousands of users"?
For that, IMO, you're going to need a website that the Android app phones
home to to find out when it should snap the picture.  You could probably
throw something up on Google's AppEngine and communicate via JSON (that's
what I'm planning on doing! ;-).
The website is where the "social networking" part of the project comes in.

Actually sounds kinda cool.  Good luck with it!

If you are starting from a layout XML and you want to create a brand-new
View tree based on that layout (e.g., LinearLayout containing other
widgets), that's called "view inflation" or "layout inflation".

getLayoutInflater().inflate() should do the trick. This uses the
android.view.LayoutInflater class.

You can see inflation used in many of my Fancy ListViews posts:

[android-developers] Instantiating a layout from an xml file and/or resource id

[steele johnson]

Hello,
I'm interested in instantiating a LinearLayout object from an xml file
that has a LinearLayout file configuration. I want to do this within a
method of my Activity.

I tried findViewById() but that returned null. I've made sure that the
LinearLayout id is the one I'm passing. Note that this layout isn't
part of my screen, it's stand-alone, so I want to build a LinearLayout
object from the xml.

Thanks

[android-developers] Difference between kernel on git and kernel on code.google.com

[ttho02]

I successfully ported Android to a custom platform (S3C24A0 based) by
taking a diff between a stock 2.6.25 kernel and the kernel available
at http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list and applying the
patch to a 2.6.25 kernel that was already patched to run on the
platform.

Now I have checked out the latest kernel by doing:
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git

But in this kernel there is no goldfish_defconfig

If i check out the platform/prebuilt.git project i says that this is
supposed to be there in the android-arm/kernel/PREBUILT file:

% git clone git://android.kernel.org/kernel/common.git kernel
% cd kernel
% export ARCH=arm
% export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
% make goldfish_defconfig
% make

So i wonder, can anyone explain briefly what the difference is between
the kernel available on git and the one available from the
code.google.com download site?

[android-developers] Re: Gesture detection

[Moto]

I currently have a class that handles some complex scrolling of a
view... this class implements OnGestureListener and in that class I
have no way of telling when the event OnUp() is triggered...

I have all other touch event handlers that OnGestureListener provides
except OnUp()

Thanks..

[android-developers] Re: what display resolution to expect?

[Dianne Hackborn]

You should pretty much never do anything based on the system-reported screen
size, since there can be any number of arbitrary decorations around the
screen -- we already have the status bar on the G1, soon there will be an
input method of arbitrary size that slides up from the bottom, other devices
could easily have other things on the left or right sides that take a chunk
out of the screen.

The correct way to do this is to work with the layout system by handling the
layout operation of a view and performing layout based on the size you are
given there.

[android-developers] Re: what display resolution to expect?

[Sundog]

You can of course use AbsoluteLayout if you virtualize all the
coordinates and calculate them on the fly based on the system-reported
screen size. For some apps (like mine) there is no alternative to
AbsoluteLayout.

me the date when the application was installed.

[android-developers] Layout editing Eclipse refreshes with every key pressed event... a bug?

[Noonien Soong]

Am I the only one who this is happening to?

When I'm editing my layout xml files, literally every time after I
type one character into the editor, Eclipse refreshes the other
windows, e. g. the properties window. This slows down Eclipse to the
point were I have to stop typing..

Is this a glitch in the ADT plugin?

Hello, sorry if this is an FAQ:

If someone publish a "free" and "paid" version of a game, how can the free
app easily point to the paid version of the app in the Android Market? Can
this be done via an intent?

What I am looking for is some sort of API:

launchTheMarkert("com.foofoo.MyVeryCostlyApp");

which will open the Android Market app, and display MyVeryCostlyApp so that
the user can make a one click download?

Thanks

You can also use clamp and mirror instead of repeat.

Hi Romain,


Can you elaborate a little on how to do it on the Xml side ?

I succeeded to do it by code, on the java side ( Sebastien, it's on my

But I didn't found how to do it with the xml, and I feel it would be

[android-developers] Re: After the ADT 0.9 update, Eclipse can not create R.java automatically

[Khuong]

The ADT's PreCompilerBuilder uses aapt to generate the R.java file.
The android.jar includes a compressed resources file called
resources.arsc that appt needs to extract out to a buffer. The first
error indicates that it failed to create this buffer.

The root cause is that the buffer max size is set to 1 MB. The
resources.arsc file in prior versions was smaller than the max size,
but in cupcake, it's about 1.3 MB. For a quick workaround, you can
increase this buffer size to 2 MB. To do this, look for the Asset.h
file under

mydroid/frameworks/base/include/utils

change

UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX = 1 * 1024 * 1024

to

UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX = 2 * 1024 * 1024

and rebuild the sdk again.

[android-developers] Re: Gesture detection

[Phill Midwinter]

Could you not just write an override? Or do you not know the specific
listener?

I agree on both counts. However, I also agree on the interaction model/
functional model of having no quit and using the OS to manage
applications. Unfortunately, the nature of power consumption as
related to network usage and overall device activity so strongly
impacts battery life that the user experience is greatly diminished in
some cases. As mentioned in this thread, applications that seem to
believe onPause() doesn't mean, "hey, pause," affect experiences that
are unrelated to that application (especially if they spawn
themselves).

I would love, Dianne, to have an official mechanism to expose these
applications. I could see this as evolving into sort of a permissions-
based model where end users can set their balance of performance /
battery life in a general sense, and have applications take that data
into account when doing background tasks.

Of course, I'm preaching to the choir, I'm sure. I just think of it as
ways that we can make the platform more mature for the end user by
making tools for developers to more quantitatively assess their impact
on responsiveness and battery life, even if they are measuring apps
that aren't their own.

Is there a way to get all the CIDs which a phone is connected too
(using UMTS), or what are the criterias which CID is shown me in
GsmCellLocation (when called via TelephonyManager.getCellLocation).

[android-developers] Re: Gesture detection

[Moto]

Let me ask the following:

Romain Guy you said:
-A fling is simply an onDown() followed by several ACTION_MOVE
MotionEvent then an onUp().

Were is this OnUp() call?
I looked at the APIs for OnGestureListener  and I don't see it?

How could I overwrite this call for the OnGestureListener  class?

Thanks!
Moto!

[android-developers] Re: AnimationDrawable: animation can't be started in onResume

[Romain Guy]

It's a framework bug that I recently fixed in cupcake.

You can work around this by setting the drawable not as the background
drawable of a View but as the content (in an ImageView for instance.)

[android-developers] Re: startup sequence

[Dianne Hackborn]

The system doesn't generally install .apks during boot, and doesn't start
any application services during boot (there are a handful of system services
that it starts during boot, but these look nothing like what you would think
about a service from the application perspective).  The only thing system
boot does in relation to starting third party apps is:

- Start an intent for the home activity (which the package manager will
resolve to a concrete activity as appropriate).
- Once home is started, send the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast to all receivers
that have a match in their manifest.

[android-developers] Re: Reg playing youtube video in android

[Dave Sparks]

If you specifically want to play a YouTube video, you need to register
as a YouTube developer to get the keys you need to access the Gdata
feeds.

I think that the Cupcake release will support a new intent for playing
YouTube videos with the YouTube app, but it will be some time before
that feature makes it into an SDK or actual device. That would remove
the need for getting the developer keys.

Aside from that, playing a YT video is no different than any other
HTTP streamed video. You just pass the URL through setDataSource and
the media player does the rest.

[android-developers] Re: what display resolution to expect?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Android currently runs on 320x480 / 480x320 screens, and that is all.
Whenever the platform supports smaller screens, it will need to ensure that
existing applications run acceptably there.

So basically assume the G1 screen and don't sweat the noise you hear.  The
only caveat is that we strongly recommend you use layout managers instead of
absolute layout of your UI, so you can take advantage of any additional
space on a larger screen (especially something that is a bit taller/wider
for a wide screen display) without it going to waste.

[android-developers] Re: Simultaneous Photography using Andriod

[Dave Sparks]

The simplest approach is just firing off an intent to the existing
camera app to take a picture. This requires the user to push the
shutter button.

If you want it purely under program control, you could have the
application snap the picture without the user pressing a button. It
just takes a bit more work.

Right, which means that you need to open the resource file in your

Ah, my mistake. I thought you still needed to be the same owner even in

[android-developers] what display resolution to expect?

[deepdr...@googlemail.com]

Hi there,

I wonder whether there is a minimal display resolution I can expect
for Android programs.

Especially with the news about the Kogan Agora, which is said to have
too low a resolution at 240 x 320.
And then again there come emulator skins with exactly that resolution
with the SDK.

Now, should I make sure that applications work and look well on 240 x
320
or can I expect larger resolution on actual devices?

thanks -

I'm not sure how you can "extend" an activity from another application.

Are you saying that CustomActivity resides in one APK and you are
subclassing it in some other activity?

Or do you mean something else by "extending"?

> So I want to access the resources from that application as well.

One application cannot access the Java code or resources from another
application, at least at runtime.

If these are both yours, you could find a way to "share" them in your
build process, assuming you are building them in tandem.

OK, here you go:

[android-developers] Wrong resultCode when sending email?

[Noonien Soong]

My goal: Open a "compose email" activity and then determine whether
the email was sent.

I open the email app with this:

 Intent msg=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

 String emailSubject = "Hello!";
 String emailBody = "Insert body text here.";

 msg.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]
{"j...@doe.com"} );
 msg.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, emailSubject);
 msg.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, emailBody);
 msg.setType("message/rfc822");

 startActivityForResult(msg, REQUEST_CODE_SEND_EMAIL);


I send the intent with startActivityForResult, because I would like
to know wether the email was actually send.

Works fine until here, the email app starts and I see my text 
Now I either press "Send" or "Save as draft" or "Discard"... I recieve
the email just fine...


But in my onActivityResult-method, the resultCode seems to be always
0 ( RESULT_CANCEL), even if the email was actually sent.

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Or a fix?

Thx!

Activities don't have resources; applications do.

Multiple activities in the same application share their resources.

[android-developers] Access resources from another application

I have created a subclass of Activity, 'CustomActivity', that
overrides the onCreateOptionsMenu and onOptionsItemSelected methods.

In a couple of other applications I have extended this subclass to
provider a common menu for each activity. Is it still possible to

By default it uses the resources from the current activity (Strings,

[android-developers] Get the name of the owner of the phone? (the email sender)

[Noonien Soong]

I want my application to send emails.

The user can pick arecipient from the contacts.

Then I generate the body text of the email and send it to the email
app ( using something like http://androidguys.com/?p=3100#comment-5168).

The email body looks something like :

-
Hi {recipientname}!

Please click the following link :

http://www.somewhere.com/action.php?data=9324jlkjfddsfjlk

If you click that like, you will live forever. Bla bla ...

Thank you,

{sendername}
-

"{recipientname}" is replaced by the name of the recipient that I get
from the Contacts via Contacts.People.

For convenience, I'd like to replace "{sendername}" with the name of
the sender, that means the name of the owner of the phone. (As stored
in the email app, under Account Settings -> General Settings -> Your
name)   So, obviously that name is stored somewhere, ...

My question:

Is there any way to access this name via a content provider ?
Or is there any other way to get a string (e.g. "John Doe" ) with the
name of the owner/user of the device ?


Any comments appreciated...

[android-developers] Re: Porting JavaME Midlet to android.

[Noonien Soong]

You will be able to use java code that does not access any of the J2ME
APis.
You will have to recode most of the System-related stuff.

I think what you should do is take a step back and take a look at the
notepad example if you haven't already. Really go though it step by
step.
Then start playing around with little example apps to see how things
are done in android.

Android really is quite different from coding for J2ME - you probably
are better of writing things like the UI from scratch.

That's my experience ...

I did a pinch more research and am logging some notes here:

DDMS's screen shot dialog is cunningly disguised as
ScreenShotDialog.java. The easiest way to get to it is by visiting:

http://www.google.com/codesearch

and searching for:

ScreenShotDialog package:android

The dialog itself is SWT-dependent, but the guts of the screen-capture
logic appears to be more independent, mostly surrounding the Device and
RawImage classes.

The Swing-based hierarchyviewer also captures screens from the
device/emulator, and it leverages the same Device and RawImage classes.
Pretty much, once you figure out how to get a proper Device object, you
call getScreenshot() and convert the RawImage into a BufferedImage. From
there, it's standard Swing/AWT stuff to display it, such as:

http://www.java-forums.org/awt-swing/6763-how-display-image.html

I haven't hunted around yet to figure out how best to get the proper
Device object, but with two reference uses (DDMS and hierarchyviewer),
it can't be all that tough.

Aughhh ... thats why it started after I added several buttons using
same
image for resource.
So I guess in this moment the solution would be to have several copies
of the same resource.

Is this a known issue or should we fire a bug report ?

If those actions are equally important, what about having a dialog pop

[android-developers] Re: problems when setting / removing color filter to image views

[Sundog]

Another question: At some point this explanation breaks down, because
in my experience, this happens only the FIRST time I attempt to change
a button's image's state... on subsequent attempts, all works
properly. So apparently something "triggers" correct behavior at some
point, suggesting there is a workaround, but I searched in vain for
days for one. Is there a way to defeat this behavior beyond physically
including redundant copies of resources?

[sblantipodi]

Hi,
I have a huge midlet that is completely based on
javax.microedition.lcdui
and javax.microedtion.m3g.

I need to completely rewrite my midlet to port it to android?
Is there a way to use javame class in android?

Please help.
Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: problems when setting / removing color filter to image views

[Sundog]

Last time you mentioned this, in response to my question about it, you
said that it was a known issue and that you were personally working on
fixing it.

So is this an "issue" that will be fixed at some point, or are we now
regarding this bug as something that won't be fixed?

Well, there's some way to get screen grabs off the device that DDMS
uses. I don't see an adb command for it, so off the top of my head I'm
not sure how it's done. But I think the DDMS source code is in the git
repository.

In theory, one could use that technique to create a desktop program that
automatically refreshes an image of the device. I don't know how much
horsepower the screen-capture stuff takes, which would determine how
frequently you can refresh the image without slowing the device down too
much. It also implies you can connect the device to something with the
mini-USB cable, I imagine.

It's far from the most elegant solution, but it's something...

[android-developers] Re: G1 OS version?

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

The build on the ADP1 (116222) is slightly different from the current
G1 build (116143 in the US, 116470 in the UK). They're all awfully
close when it comes to the behavior of the platform itself.

[android-developers] Re: exit button - or not?

[kolby]

I apologize if I have hit the wrong tone, originally this thread
caught my eye, because it is an issue that any app has. I was hoping
to find some secret trick to tell the OS via a published, but well
hidden API (not saying anything here), that my app needs some
resources asap and speed up the process a little.

I do agree that making the app feel responsive at start-up is the way
to go, but then again, I would like to know, if there's a way to find
out via an API, how bad the situation really is, so the app could
decide what best to do.

Maybe this should all be in a different thread, or in a different
group, but I'm not tinkering with the OS.

And so far, I have been enjoying the discussion.

Again, sorry if it came across differently, it was not my intention. I
tend to overuse sarcasm at times.

apk files are NOT executable.

to install an apk on your device, just execture 'adb install '. Your application should then appear in the Home screen.
This is what ADT is doing when dealing with emulators or devices.

You are posting to [android-developers], which is for Q&A about using
the Android SDK to build applications. Hence, I assumed you were
interested in brainstorming ways to improve Steel's responsiveness. Your

[android-developers] About Google Map Installation Package

Hi All,

I have couple of doubts regarding Google Map Usage as below:

1. I am able to run Google Map Application on Emulator with proper API
key. Google Map is not open source and not available on Target Board,
so I am not able to execute this application. Does same API Key hold
good for Target Board also or Is there something else need to be done
for it ?

2. What will Google provide as Google Map Installation Package ( Legal
one )  for Google Map for Target ? i.e. How Google Map Installer will
be different from Emulator's Google Map ? What are the other security
means used to Secure Google Map Installer from running on Target Board
except API Key and signed .apk file ?

[android-developers] Re: Touch mode again (CRUD application context).

[Andriy Zakharchuk]

Thank you for comments, guys.

Probably, I was not clear, but I'm still using context menus. However,
in my opinion, context menu is a secondary way to perform an action.
So, there should always be a primary way (options menu, item click,
toolbar button). Context menu is less obvious/intuitive than other
controls. It's OK for geeks (or guys who read documentation :)), but
not for typical users. Thus I think that context menus can be used
only as secondary shortcuts.

Do you think it's OK to provide some functions only via context menu
without alternative? Doesn't it make the application unclear, more
difficult to learn (at least when other applications in the system,
and other screens in this application have this alternative)?

> The menu, the one that comes up when one presses the menu key, is
> meant for global actions only, actions that affect the entire
> activity.

I understand this, I agree with it and that's why I'm asking the
question. All standard Android applications are using this approach.
I'd like my application to be consistent with them, and it looks
mostly cool... except one screen which discomforts me (I have 5
entities to be stored in the database and only one of them has only
one attribute and any actions can be performed on it).

I generally agree with you. You are comparing apples with oranges
however (pun intended). Saxon Innovation and this whole slew of non-
practicing entities (also known as "patent trolls") exist for the sole
purpose of extorting money from legitimate businesses. Apple would
shoot themselves in the foot if they started enforcing the rights
granted through this (and I suppose other) patents. If this happens,
the touch-screen oriented model of user interaction would mostly be
available with their products only. Although Apple's big, they are not
quite big enough that they wouldn't have to rely on having their boat
lifted along with everybody else's as a result of the proliferation of
touch-oriented handsets by virtue of introduction through numerous
vendors. In my humble opinion, anyway. I am looking in particular at
manufacturers in China and "extended workbench" countries which
deliver to growth markets, and which are not be quite there yet as far
as software is concerned. Android should come as an opportunity to
deliver a software platform that supports the touch-oriented model for
their products almost "out of the box".

Other than showing them a static picture from a website they visited
previously,
I don't think I could present anything to a user that wants to get to
her content, asap.

I don't see myself running a 1min animation to tell people I have to
wait until the
OS has finally decided that my app needs more room. And really, that's
the message
they should see, because that's the cause of the delay. And I don't
want to lie to my users.

And I have to live with comments accusing me of not being able to use

All I'm asking for really. That and a statement form someone in the
Android dev team admitting that there's a design flaw in this area.
And maybe that just pointing to all default apps not having an "exit"
button can't be the answer to this and related problems.

I started on programmable calculators, until I moved up to a 1k
Sinclair, which I considered roomy. I have no idea how the world got
things done back then. Maybe we just didn't need to write code that
gets interpreted/translated down several times before it finds an
actual processor cycle that does some application related work.
But then again, it didn't offer a "f*rt" application either.

[android-developers] Re: Sending HTML email with GMail installed on G1

[Noonien Soong]

a question about URLSpan :

Is there a way to have a link with a different label than the URL
itsself?

I want something analog to:

{a href='http://www.google.com'}Google{/a}

instead of

{a href='http://www.google.com'}http://www.google.com{/a}

The source to it is probably available on source.android.com. Clone your
own until they open that one up in the SDK.
