Button button1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

[android-developers] DatePicker -- 2/30; 4/31 is quitely treated as a valid input
Why can't Datepicker dialog automatically figure out that there are no 30 and 31 in Feb? Should not this be considered as a bug in DatePicker class? The DatePicker dialog's 'set' button can be pushed without telling user 'this is an invalid date' -- instead, it quietly convert 4/31 to 5/1; 2/30 to 3/2 after you push the button. I think an idea behavior should be as following: -- when you currently have "1 31 2009" and push the 'up' button on '1' (month), you should get "2 28 2009" shown on the three elements I thought to build a customized subclass, but a lot of the fields are private and not accessible from subclass, anyone thought of the same problem? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Search engine app for Android? It's in Perst 4.0 embedded database
Nothing is “wrong” with SQLite, but there are many reasons why one might prefer Perst for an Android application. Here are a few: Object-Oriented – Perst is an object-oriented DBMS, which many prefer in Java. It is more efficient to store objects _as java objects_ in an object database, than having to translate them to another format as with a relational or object-relational database. Performance – Check out the TestIndex performance benchmark, available with source code on McObject’s Web site, http://www.mcobject.com/perst_eval. It compares SQLite and Perst directly, performing the same database tasks. Programming flexibility – Through its specialized collections classes, Perst supports a wide variety of index types, including R-Tree, B- Tree, T-Tree, Patricia Trie, KD-Tree and others. To my knowledge, SQLite offers only B-Tree – which is useful for general purpose searching but can come up short if working with GIS/ mapping data (here an R-Tree is much better), with data to be managed in memory (a T-Tree is more efficient), etc. The efficiency gained through using the optimal index type is especially important given the limited memory, CPU and storage resources in mobile device environments… These are a few reasons. As noted above, the open source Perst is available at http://www.mcobject.com/perst_eval.

[android-developers] custom themes?
Could anyone post or point me to an example of using custom items in a theme? I've created a theme that uses custom attributes as item names, and I want to refer to those items in the code. I can see the theme is working because it also sets the android:windowBackground color. As a concrete example, I want an inactiveColor item in my Theme.GreenWithYellow to use in onDraw methods in my Views. I think this would be the right mechanism to use to have multiple color schemes for application specific purposes, but I would be happy to entertain other approaches, too. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] headset button
Hi! Does anyone know how to tell when the headset button is being
pressed? I'd like to support the usb headsets and possibly bluetooth
headsets. My app is a media player and ideally, I could register it
somewhere so that if no app that uses the headset button has focus it
button press would act as a play/pause command in my app. If the phone
is ringing or a call is in progress, I'd like to be sensitive to that
and let the button do what it normally does: pickup and hang up
calls. we've been trying to chase the button down using this:
IntentFilter headsetFilter = new IntentFilter
(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG);
headsetFilter.addAction
("android.intent.action.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED");
headsetFilter.addAction("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE");
headsetFilter.addAction
("android.bluetooth.intent.HEADSET_STATE_CHANGED");
headsetFilter.addAction
("android.bluetooth.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED");
headsetFilter.addAction("android.intent.action.MODE_CHANGED");
no luck as of yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Killing one thread from another is dangerous, because you don't know what resources are being held by the target thread. The Thread methods for doing this are deprecated, and have not been implemented in Dalvik. The thread should check a variable periodically to see if it should continue running. In many situations you'll want to declare the variable "volatile". --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

There is an Api Demo showing how to generally do this with a surface view. It's very easy, since SurfaceView essentially operates like any other view in terms of compositing.

I try to use queues for controlling work done in background threads, mostly because that's how I was controlling background threads in pre-Android development. LinkedBlockingQueue is a great choice, though there are plenty of others in java.util.concurrent. (java.util.concurrent, by the way, written by Doug Lea, author of the book and the extract of same that M. Perrot linked to) So, in onDestroy(), I just pop my own KillEvent object on the queue(s) and, once the queues get to that message, they terminate their own threads simply by falling out of the queue-processing loop. So long as your queues don't get backed up too deep, you should be OK, and I think there's a priority queue implementation in java.util.concurrent as well if your threads still aren't closing up shop fast enough. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Swapping in and out ViewGroups (Layout) within a container ViewGroup.
Ok, I figured it out. When you use LayoutInflater.inflate(id, root), the return value will be the inflated xml root if you _didn't_ provide the root, or it will be the root if you did. To remedy the problem I was having, I simple passed null for the root and then called mContainerLayout.addView (mInnerLayout) and it worked. What was happen is that it was returning the root and I thought it was the inner layout. ;) On Jan 30, 5:39 pm, steele johnson wrote: > Hello, > ViewFlipper doesn't help either because I still need to add the layout > dynamically.

[android-developers] Re: Swapping in and out ViewGroups (Layout) within a container ViewGroup.
Hello, ViewFlipper doesn't help either because I still need to add the layout dynamically. The problem really comes down to this: mInnerLayout = (LinearLayout) layout.inflate( R.layout.multiple_select, mContainerLayout); How can I add mInnerLayout to mContainerLayout after it has been removed?

And btw, a significant number of things you can do with the applications are documented in the Intent class as generic protocols (such as VIEW or GET_CONTENT) along with the various MIME types and URIs defined by the standard content providers in android.provider.

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
I'll still say, if it hasn't been documented, then you probably have no business using it. If you want to go use private implementation details of the platform, you can browse through the source code and look at the manifests of the apps. That is all that the system knows about the intent protocols they support.

[android-developers] Re: Need help in running the android junit test case for andriod APIDemo in eclipse
Hi,
I tried that again, but it does not work now, for some reason.
I did load 'ApiDemos' project first, but I don't see the 'Test for Api

Then, I manually load the 'ApiDemosTest2' project again, I still don't
see the 'Test for Api Demo'.
But from the Eclipse output, I do see that both apk has been installed.
Any idea why it does not work?

Try removing the single view representing the "inner layout" instead of the whole view tree. In other words, use removeView() instead of removeAllViews(). Personally, I typically just use ViewFlipper, so it can handle this case, plus give me the option for animating the transition between child views if I so choose. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Swapping in and out ViewGroups (Layout) within a container ViewGroup.
Hello, I'm trying to dynamically swap in and out various layouts to one layout container. I've instantiated the container layout (mContainerLayout) by finding it using the id through the maine Activity layout. This is successful. Next, I add the inner layout by calling: layoutInflater = this.getLayoutInflater(); and then inflating the inner layout like this: mInnerLayout = (LinearLayout) layoutInflater .inflate( R.layout.inner_layout, mContainerLayout); This seems to work fine. I see the inner layout displayed in the Activity that holds the containing layout. Next, I want to swap in another inner layout, so I call: mContainerLayout.removeAllViews(); and then I repeat the steps above. This is successful as well. The problem is when I try to swap in and out the instantiated layouts (the one that's returned from the inflate() call). When I call: mContainerLayout.removeAllViews(); and then call: mContainerLayout.addView(mInnerLayout ); I get a 'source not found' error. My question is: how can I swap the Layouts that have already been instantiated?

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
I understand the point about trying to stick to intents which have been documented by their developers. The problem is, even a well-intentioned but busy developer may simply not get round to writing that documentation. The system applications are a great example of that effect. At least, with a discovery API, we could find out what the things were in some reliable way. We'd also have a better chance of understanding why our intents failed when they did. Right now, I sometimes feel like I'm on a random hunt for a magic string. It is the single most frustrating thing about developing for Android. Do you think there's any chance one will appear in a future version ? Or, can you think of any way to acheive the effect in the current version ? I had a vague idea about feeding generalities to PackageManager.queryIntentActivities(), but I have not found a way to make that work.

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
You shouldn't just look at what intents an app happens to use: unless someone publishes official protocols, those should be considered private. Unless an app developer is explicitly maintaining them, they could change their app arbitrarily and break someone using those implementation details. And Amazon MP3 app is owned by amazon, who just happened to have it installed on the G1. It is not part of the platform, and so they would need to document and maintain whatever intent protocols they want to publish. Finally, yes, we need to do a better job at defining official protocols for the system applications. This is something that got dropped in the push to get the initial full product out.

> The strangeness is not just limited to the lack of a discovery API. What I'm trying to say is, even if they were discovery APIs they would be of limited use, because they could never tell you which extras you have to use, what they mean, and how to interpret the result. The only thing that can help you is better documentation. > There's also a peculiar lack of documentation on what the built-in > apps can do, leaving us wasting a lot of time poking about making up > intents by experiment. For built-in apps, you can always look into the source code to see what their intents expect: http://android.git.kernel.org/ (see platform/packages/...) For some applications, the developers update their intents themselves already at OpenIntents.org and document them over there. See e.g. http://www.openintents.org/en/node/94 Some intents are frequently asked for, so that we have small code snippets: http://www.openintents.org/en/node/121 If you use undocumented intents by closed source applications that the developer did not publish information about, chances are the developer may change the intents anytime, so your application could break if you use their intents... Is there a specific application you would like to know more information about?

[android-developers] local service getting killed
I have an app loosely based on the LocalService example from the SDK with a controller activity and a long-running, stateful service which is doing stuff on a periodic handler. The service is also a bit of a memory hog. It seems that the service is sometimes killed by the activity-manager and immediately restarted. I don't see any stack trace, so I assume it is not the application crashing but the system doing that, presumably to claim resources. Is that what is going on here? Is there a way to tell the system that this process is kind of important, even though it has no foreground activity and should only be killed as a last resort?

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
Peter - I agree completely. OpenIntents is a great idea, but it doesn't fix my problem either. The strangeness is not just limited to the lack of a discovery API. There's also a peculiar lack of documentation on what the built-in apps can do, leaving us wasting a lot of time poking about making up intents by experiment. My hope is that both of these - intent discovery APIs and better docs on the existing intents - are in the plan, just not done yet.

[android-developers] Re: ListView with the CheckBoxPreference look
Hi Dan,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice and
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 actually refer to built-in android
layouts, so for example:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/layout/simple_list_item_multiple_choice.xml
Note that for this particular layout, there is only a "text1".
I think what you want to do, is define your own layout under
"res/layout". You could base it off of preference.xml:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/layout/preference.xml
You'll have to modify it to include a checkbox inside widget_frame.
Also the ids would be android.R.id.title and android.R.id.summary.
Cheers,
James

I don't think you need any permission to initial a phone call using the built in Activity. As long as you go through the built in activity and included user interface, no perms required. The CALL_PHONE permission is for making a call on your own without using the built in Activity, as I understand it (if you want to write your own dialer, or otherwise not go through the built in dialer). (And the built in Activity probably HAS the CALL_PHONE permission, so it's not your app that needs the permission if you are handing off, etc.) On Jan 30, 7:07 am, Sohail wrote: > Hi, > > I just created a simple application, that starts the Dial Activity and > place a call.

[android-developers] Re: Dialing Permission
You don't need a permission to start the dialer. That requires the user to be involved in placing the call, so it wouldn't be useful to have a permission on it.

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
You could leave logcat running while you launch Amazon MP3 in various ways. This will tell you at least the action you need to use, and probably something about the data and the mime type (if used). If the intent has extras then you are out of luck (unless you guess well). Extras are not specified in the Manifest, but they are only handled by the application, so the system *truly* does not know about them. If you don't want to reverse-engineer the apk, the only possibility is to contact the application directly to ask for the specification of the intents used. (and if you have found them, please add them to the intents registry ;-) ) OK, actually, as I write about it, there may be a way to find out more about the intents without reverse engineering the apk: 1) Find the action (and if used mime type) using logcat. 2) Write an intent filter for that action in a test application. 3) Wait for the action to be fired, the activity chooser to pop up, and choose your test application. 4) Read the intent extras in your test application :-) Peli On Jan 30, 6:29 pm, Peter Jeffe wrote: > On Jan 30, 10:45 am, Peli wrote: > > > For this reason, we have created the OpenIntents intents > > registry:http://www.openintents.org/en/http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable > > > Even if there is a way to find all intents supported by an > > application, this will not tell you what kind of extras are supported > > or required or which result (if at all) is returned. > > I think your site is great Peli, I agree with your reasoning and > applaud your efforts.
