[android-developers] Re: Failed to upload myapp.apk on 'HT841GZ03224': Too many open files

[Stoyan Damov]

I don't know the reason for this particular error message, but I
strongly advise you to always uninstall your app before reinstalling,
otherwise you'll run out of device memory and would have to do the
"double shutdown" or "battery pull" trick to get it back.

Cheers

Can I use it somehow to test several word combinations to see if I can

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

[Daniel Janev]

Hi Guys,

I hope that in the next android release the DexFile (something like
class loader) will work without any hacks. Having this "feature" will
allow anyone to implement the MIDP/CLDC APIs over Android ones. Also
having a simple backend system, which converts the Java classes into
Android dex format will allow to run any MIDlet on the system.

I really hope that Google will have this in the next release. Can
someone from Google comment this? Will the DexFile work in the next release?

I'm answering myself:

So actually it works well. I was expecting the broadcast to be sent
more frequently, but it looks like my G1 is keeping the connection
open all the time. The easiest way to test the broadcast is to go to
settings and switch to 2G and back to 3G. The event is fired.

[android-developers] ListView w/ImageView - memory utilisation

[AusR]

Hi,

I am displaying a listview where the view used for each row includes
an ImageView and TextView, with the image displayed dependant on the
contents of the TextView. the images are at this testing phase pngs
approx 600bytes each, dimensions of max 100x35 px.

I have noticed on both a large list and scrolling all the way through
(500+ items) or a small list (~20 items) and scrolling up and down, up
and down, I eventually reach an Out Of Memory error.

How can I overcome this by possibly 'unloading' the images (or row
item views) once they are no longer in view.

I have seen the Android Market do this on ling lists, where if you
scroll back up the list, the images need to be re-downloaded.

How is this implemented? What method is used?

Thanks.

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

Dave,

I tried to play via mediaplayer example given in the sdk with the YouTube
video url (http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=l43Bbn2Xpwk),

In mediaplayer_video.java file,

path="http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=l43Bbn2Xpwk";

it failed  to play.
Any modifications to be done in the mediaplayer to stream youtube video.

But when i converted this youtube video into an mp4 or 3gp file and locally
try to play, it plays fine.

whats the difference between mediaplayer and videoview example given in the
sdk.

That turns out to be so easy even I figured it out! :-)

Create an Overlay of your own and implement the draw() method, i.e.

private class ProximityOverlay extends Overlay {
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapview, boolean b) {
 // draw some stuff in here, like
 // canvas.drawCircle(point.x, point.y, radius, paint);
}
 }

then simply add this Overlay to the list of Overlays, probably in your
onCreate():

map.getOverlays().add(new ProximityOverlay());

That's it!  Android takes care of everything else.

Context#getFilesDir(). Bear in mind that Activity and Service are
subclasses of Context.

Are you recycling the views that come back to you in getView() (or
bindView())?

I cover this technique in the later posts in this series:

http://androidguys.com/?s=fancy+listviews

Forgive the formatting problems, and bear in mind that the older posts
are for the M5 SDK and may require minor modifications to work on the
current Android SDK.

You might also look at Romain Guy's Shelves application, particularly
with an eye towards how he handles all of his book cover images, to see
if there is anything more you would need to do to make sure your images
get properly garbage collected.

[android-developers] OutOfMemoryError when scrolling ListView

[muckwarrior]

I'm having problems with ListViews in my application. I thought
everything was fine until I noticed that if I scrolled up and down
through the list quickly a number of times, sooner or later the app
would crash with an OutOfMemoryError.

When I searched for the error I noticed a number of posts related to
loading images. As my list items included a small arrow png, I assumed
the problem lay here. However even after removing this and all other
drawables I had (gradient background and list separator) the problem
still remains.

Here's the stack trace

for this process.

I've had a look in DDMS and noticed that the percentage memory used in
the heap doesn't go above 70%. Also, doesn't the reported 66K seem
like a very small amount to be causing a crash?

Any help appreciated!

[android-developers] Re: Gesture detection

[Moto]

I currently use onFling() but this isn't called all the time.

You can have onScroll() event happening without onFling() action
following...  That's from my experience...   I assume onFling() is how
fast you do a swipe.  So because onFling() isn't called all the time
my code doesn't do what it should do.

What my code does:
after scrolling a view I need the onUp() to trigger a function which
aligns my view in a particular way acording to it's current scroll
value...

Thanks for your help...

That makes much more sense now. So, if OnFling isn't called, then you'd want
to use 
onSingleTapUp

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

[kolby]

Dave,

you can play youtube video by launching a View intent with the youtube
video page url right now on the device (no cupcake or developer key
required). It will launch the youtube player.
The problem is, it doesn't work in the emulator, since there's no
youtube app.

Hi Wes,

We could offer German, and have Polish and Spanish translators in our
team.

Is there a language you could offer in return?
Have you thought about using Launchpad for your translations?

Please visit our developer's forum so that we can discuss the details:

That's not the URL of a video, it's the URL of a webpage which has a flash

I still don't get it. The viewport is 480x320. Imagine if you are
trying to play Quake or Unreal Tournament and the game tries to draw
the entire level, even though only a tiny part of it is visible.

[android-developers] Re: what is maximum height and width of image which can display?

[Phill Midwinter]

That's a Z buffer.  A correct comparison would be running a game in
1280x1024 but only having an 800x600 capable screen... in which case the
game wouldn't display.

This is simply a 2d image, why not load it all into memory if you're going
to be dragging it around?

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when scrolling ListView

[muckwarrior]

Never mind, I've managed to solve the problem myself with a hint from
the other similar thread that I didn't see before posting.

For anyone that encounters the same problem, I fixed it by using
convertView as explained here http://androidguys.com/?p=635

[android-developers] Re: MyLocation blinking dot

[JS]

Faber,

won't that just draw a simple circle?

What about making the dot blink like the default Google Maps on
android?

Thanks

Yes.  It was a simple example. You can put whatever drawing functionality in
there that you want.

I dunno. Animate it.  There's something called "tweened animation" that
might work. I haven't worked with animation yet, so I don't know.

[android-developers] ListView with the CheckBoxPreference look

[Dan Dromereschi]

Hello,

I am trying to build a ListView that contains items that look exactly
like the CheckBoxPreference, an android.R.id.text1, an
android.R.id.text2 and a checkbox.

I am using a SimpleAdapter and I manage to either have only text1 and
the checkbox, or text1 and text2, but never all the 3 of them. Is
there something I am missing?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi,

I started to work with the latest Android version for OMAP3430 (Zoom1)
platform by getting sources via "repo sync". The u-boot and kernel
images were built successfully but file system build encountered the
issue for vendor/ti/ldp1/buildspec.mk.default configuration (copied to

Could you advise which Android version to use and how to get it via

[android-developers] opengl & gc

[Steven Lagerweij]

I've been playing with OpenGL but am unable to get a steady framerate
due to GC.

When rendering 100 tiles each frame (in ortho mode), the GC needs to
recover ~22000 objects every 3 seconds or so. Each collection is taking
around 110 ms. Of course this means quite a framerate dip.

...
D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms
D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms
D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms
D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 114ms
...


The rendering loop I tested with is not making any objects and is very
simple;

while (super.running) {
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex);
for(x = 0 ; x < 100; x++) {
gl.glVertexPointer(2, GL10.GL_FIXED, 0, tileCoords[x]);
gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FIXED, 0, tileTexCoords[x]);
gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
}
egl.eglSwapBuffers(dpy, surface);
}

The calls to gl.glVertexPointer(...); and gl.glTexCoordPointer(...);
seem to be ones creating the most objects.

When I take those two calls outside the for and while loop (so rendering
the same tile at the same position a 100 times each frame), GC didn't
occur at all for the three minutes I waited.

So, is this supposed to be the case ? 
I also could not find sources for the implementation which is
"com.google.android.jsr239.GLImpl"? Anyone knows where to find those?

[android-developers] Android 1.5 Cupcake

[Koffi]

I got Cupcake images from http://nullwire.com/try_out_cupcake_yourself
 followed the instructions, it worked fined in the beginning, I
realized Maps was no longer  the home screen and API Demos and Maps
were missing from applications screen too and with 1.5 I can now
access SD Card & phone storage in the settings setting and see my
sdcard image loaded, I could not before in 1.0
I can switch between 1.0 and 1.5 by changing the system.img,
userdata.img and ramdisk.img in
 tools/lib/images
 Now with the images files from 1.5 in tools/lib/images the emulator
does not launch anymore it is stuck at the screen where the green
android logo is glowing indefinitely, when I revert back to the 1.0
img files the emulator works as usual.
Can anyone direct me as to why the emulator does not work with 1.5
anymore what might be the cause and a solution if there is one. I
removed the SDK and emulator completely even eclipse
I re downloaded and reinstalled eclipse, the ADT plugin, SDK and
emulator. Emulator works well with 1.0 but still does not work when
1.5 img files are loaded.

[android-developers] Add new contacts directly in "My Contacts".

[DarkJJ]

Hi all.

I want to create a new contact in the group "My Contacts", with name
and number phone like data.

I only have seen this example that how must i do this:
http://code.google.com/intl/es-ES/android/devel/data/contentproviders.html

But in this example, the new contacts are added in the list

[android-developers] Re: How to enable / disable Bluetooth

[moose]

use the getString or the putString method instead and then convert to
a boolean or integer.  I am having a problem myself.  doing a
getstring of this property always returns "1" whether the blue tooth
is on or not.

Anybody else see this behavoir?  Anyone have a solution to finding out
if the bluetooth is powered on or not? Am I missing some permissions?
The only permission i am currently using is
android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS. Below is my code...

String bluetoothEn = android.provider.Settings.System.getString
(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.BLUETOOTH_ON);
boolean blueToothEn = (bluetoothEn.equals("1"));

[android-developers] HTML links in a TextView inside a ListView

[Steve]

I've got a ListView where each item in the list is contains several
controls. One of the items is a checkbox, and I can check/uncheck it
without problems.  The other items are some TextViews and a WebView.
I've got autoLink turned on and linksClickable turned on, but I can't
get links to fire up the browser when I click on them.  This applies
to both TextView and WebView.  I've tried changing the parent to a
GridView instead of a ListView, playing with setFocusable(), and all
that, but to no avail.

Is it even possible to have interaction on the TextView-based elements
of a row in a ListView?  It seems like that *should* be possible, but
I've been banging my head against this problem for a few weeks with no
progress.  What's the secret?

Thanks!
Steve

[android-developers] WebView.loadData does not always work quite right

[Mark Nuetzmann]

I have a simple webview client that gets the content from a url and
loads it into the WebView.  When the activity starts and the first
data is loaded into the WebView it works beautifully.  I can click the
href of the image returned in the url data and the WebView launches
the browser just fine.  However, if I then update the contents of the
WebView with another call to loadData, the WebView displays the new
data but you cannot click on anything in the WebView...

I do not see any logs like

Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.VIEW
categories={android.intent.category.BROWSABLE}
in the log viewer...

If I relaunch my activity, it again works the first time but not for
additional content.  Is there something else I am supposed to do to
get the WebView to support the clicking of hrefs in the data that was
loaded?

thanks, Mark

public class SampleWebviewClient extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nexturl_btn);
btn.setOnClickListener(mOnClickNextUrl);

new Thread(mGetUrlData).start();
}

OnClickListener mOnClickNextUrl = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
new Thread(mGetUrlData).start();
}
};

private List mQueuedUrls = new ArrayList();
private Runnable mGetUrlData = new Runnable() {

[android-developers] Re: For launching a camera from appl which action requires?

[James Yum]

Hi,

The bitmap is returned in the extras bundle, e.g.:

Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data") ;

However, be aware that the quality of the image cannot be specified at
this time, but should be fixed in the future:

[android-developers] Re: what is maximum height and width of image which can display?

[Dave Sparks]

The application heap is limited to 16MB. For RGB565, that's a max of
8M pixels, not including the heap that the app uses for other objects.
Chances are, you are probably decoding from a JPEG, so you need room
for both the compressed and uncompressed version.

This is not possible with the 1.0 SDK. This feature will be available

[android-developers] Re: Audio chat

[Marco Nelissen]

You can't do that using the SDK at the moment. You might be able to hack
something together using native code, but you'd either have to use AMR or
provide your own encoder, and you'd also have to write your own rtsp or http
server or other communications protocol. That's probably beyond the scope of
this discussion group though.

[android-developers] Re: Audio chat

[Dave Sparks]

This is not really possible with 1.0 SDK. Someone has done a walkie-
talkie like program that records audio to a file and then streams it,
but not real-time audio.

The Cupcake release will add the capability to stream audio from the
mic into a Java app and stream audio from a Java app to the audio
output. However, there is no support for streaming audio over RTSP, so
you have a fair bit of work cut out for you.

[android-developers] Re: Video resolution support

[Dave Sparks]

I don't know that there are any specific restrictions on the video
resolution for the software codecs. It's really a matter of whether
the CPU has adequate cycles to decode it in real-time.

Some of the codecs are hardware accelerated and they do have
restrictions about frame size, bit-rate, and fps. Each product will
have different capabilities based on the underlying hardware, so it's
not possible to give maximums.

We are going to try to establish a minimum performance benchmark for
all Android compatible devices in the near future.

[android-developers] Is it possible to run ADB shell command from inside an Android app

[Anshul]

I am trying to run an ADB shell command from inside an android app
using the JAVA's Runtime.getRunTime.exec API. I am getting an error
"ERROR/ProcessManager(1041): Error running adb: Permission denied".
Wanted to check if there is any permission that I need to request to
get it working or that running the adb shell command would not be
allowed from with in the Android app.

I am able to execute other linux commands like 'ls' from the android
app though.

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Wrong resultCode when sending email?

[Noonien Soong]

Thank you for pointing that out.

So I get RESULT_CANCELED when the activity actually send something.
I guess its no big deal, but why not have a different return type for
an intent that doesn't return anything?

like RESULT_NONE, RESULT_DEFAULT or RESULT_VOID.

When I saw the return type, it was strange to see that it was
canceled. Had it been a 3rd category, it would have been a bit
clearer...

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to run ADB shell command from inside an Android app

[Bill Napier]

There are a couple problems here.

1. The phone doesn't have the adb command installed on it and doesn't
need it.  adb shell is only to be able to run shell commands from a
computer on the phone.
2. Permission denied is the default (confusing and buggy) error code
returned when you try and execute a command that doesn't exist.

If you just want a shell run, try /system/bin/sh as the executable to run.

[android-developers] MediaPlayer seeking back

[ed]

I've been using androids MediaPlayer to stream from an http url and
have a question about seeking.  Currently, our urls expire after they
have been used once or a certain time out has expired to dissuade
scraping content.  Now, this obviously makes progressive streaming
past the buffer impossible with the exact same url as you need to open
a new http connection with the same mangled key, which we
intentionally don't allow.

However, MediaPlayer seems to do this when seeking before the current
position (i.e. seeking from 1:00 in the audio to 0:30).  As the file
has already been downloaded up to the current position I'm confused as
to why MediaPlayer is still trying to initate a new http connection in
this case?  The only thing I can think of is that MediaPlayer is
getting rid of audio its already played up to the current position,
and hence needs to restart the connection if you try to seek back on
the stream.  Is this correct, or is there something else going on?

Thanks,
Ed

[android-developers] Re: Why Android?

[Julio Barros]

I have some experience with the iPhone and am just starting to get my  
head around android.  I'm not sure what aspect/comparison you are most  
interested in.  The first most obvious difference is Java vs Objective- 
C.  I had done a lot of Java before I started on the iPhone.  If you  
have experience with a C style language Objective-C is not too bad.  
The next big comparison would be the extensive (mature but  
overwhelming) Cocoa Touch libraries and frameworks vs activities and  
the Android approach.

[android-developers] Putting App for Testing on My Dev Phone

[John Miller-George]

I have gotten through signing up as an Android developer, joined
Android Market, and recieved and activated my Android Developer Phone.

I have my first draft application running in the emulator.

The documentation suggests testing it throughly on the device,
however, I don't want to put it up publicly in the Android Market
until I am satisfied with the app.

S...

1) Is there a way to privately post a testing app on Android Market?
If so, would somebody please point this newbie to the HOW-TO?

2) Is there a way to push my app onto my developer phone without using
Android Market? If so, would somebody please point this newbie to the
HOW-TO?

I'm having more fun working with this Android stuff than I have had in
years! As soon as I learn enough to contribute I'm going to be
overjoyed to share it.

[android-developers] Re: Putting App for Testing on My Dev Phone

[Mark K]

 You can use adb (Android Debug Bridge) to install applications onto
your phone. ie 'adb install c:\myproject\myapp.apk'. You should
familiarize yourself with the Android command line tools such as adb
and ddms, and not just rely on Eclipse. Don't forget to add the /tools
directory to your PATH.

[Dianne Hackborn]

Use android:screenOrientation on your activity:

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/R.styleable.html#AndroidManifestActivity_screenOrientation

Fwiw, sensor-based rotation is not currently enabled by default so you
should never be seeing it unless your app specifically does it for itself.

[android-developers] Re: Sending a message from Service to Activity

A couple of questions... See below:

"...and give it to the service."  - How do I "give it to the
service?".

with intent.putExtra ? Since PendingIntent is a Parcelable?

"...and give it to the service."  (Same as above)

...with intent.putExtra ? Since a messenger is a Parcelable?

A global ? As in "a global variable in the Application object?" I
somehow felt that was bad practice.

[android-developers] Re: Want to have amr file still getting 3gp

The recorder uses MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat

Yes the normal ways you would talk with a service -- you can put it in the
Intent if you are starting it, or you can pass it through a call in its
interface if you are binding.

It's a convenient short-cut.  If you are philosophically opposed to such
things you can go the more formal route and make things harder on yourself.

[android-developers] Re: Maps and API Demos

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

Questions about working with cupcake (from which there currently
exists no official SDK) should be on the android-platform mailing
list.

Anyway, the answer is "you can't".
