[android-developers] Re: how to update list

[cindy]

I implemented the async incoming data on a separate thread which adds
the items to a ArrayList that is connected to the view through my
custom
adapter (inherits BaseAdapter). But when I modified the ArrayList, the
application crashes.

Have you have the same problem?

[android-developers] Adding Cipher suite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA to SSLEngine

[wopeipeipei]

Hi Experts,
I know Cipher suite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is supported by
SSLSocket in Android since Google modified SSLSocket in Harmony JDK by
using JNI to invoke OpenSSL library but unfortunately, SSLEngine
doesn't support TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA because it's using the
default implementation of Harmony JSSE provider. Since BouncyCastle
JCE provider is there in Android platform and it supports AES Cipher,
I am wondering if it's possible to add support for
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA to SSLEngine by letting Harmony JSSE
provider call BouncyCastle JCE provider? I have already had a try by
adding TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA related code to CipherSuite.java
but I always got strange padding(or MAC) errors. I have no idea what
was going wrong because I am totally a newbie in this area. Could
anyone here please tell me I am going the correct way or not?

Regards,
DH.

[android-developers] Re: RTSP Streaming on g1 phone

[Jeff Oh]

 Hi, thanks for your interest.

 I've tested many streams, but the following is the the most
conservative one.
 Video frame is 176x144, 8 fps.
 Video bitrate is around 64kbps, audio bitrate is 80kbps.
 I think this happens only with H.264 video. (base profile)

 The video player I used to test were two. One is Meridian Video
Player downloaded from android market and the other is my own
developed one (they show me the same result).
 I used android sdk r2 with g1 phone rc30.

 The log is like the following.

 I couldn't find what those error message means.

 Also, as I know g1 phone uses QDSP to decode MPEG4 video and H.264
video. Am I right?

Best regards,

[android-developers] Not able to open a website using WebView

[Pratap]

Hi
I am trying to open a website using WebView.
I am behind a proxy, but have already configured the settings database
with the proxy values.
When i try to open any internal website like a Tomcat running on my
desktop, it opens up properly.
The problem comes up when i try to open any external website like
www.yahoo.com.
The screen goes white for sometime and then I get message "Web Page
not available".

Also, the native Android browser is able to open all websites
sucessfully.
This seems to be an issue because of proxy, but I am not able to find
any solution.
Please help me as Ihave been stuck on this for quite some time now.

[android-developers] Re: What is the 'correct' way to set styles programmatically?

[Dianne Hackborn]

All of the APIs you need -- Theme.obtainStyledAttributes() in particular --
are part of the SDK.

As we just covered in another thread, there is no API to change/reapply a
style on a view after that view has been constructed.  This is not a matter
of there being a public API, it is simply not something that is supported at
all.

The code you originally posted showed you manually retrieving the values you
are interested in from a style and calling setters on a view, which you can
certainly do.

[android-developers] Re: What is the 'correct' way to set styles programmatically?

[Kennard Consulting]

Dianne,

Thanks for the prompt reply. However, I don't think your answer works
in my case, as what I am trying to do is a little unusual.

I'm trying to apply styles *programmatically*, like the Android
framework does internally using (I think) AssetManager.applyStyle and/
or Theme.obtainStyleAttributes. However, neither of these are exposed
in the public API.

Is there a way, in the public API, to apply a style to a View at
runtime, given the style id and the View object? For example...

TextView view = new TextView();
applyStyle( view, R.mystyle );

Regards,

Richard.

[android-developers] Problem with Multi select list

[Muthu Kumar K.]

Hi All,
I have the problem while displaying the Multi select list view. I am
able to display the list view with check boxes. But it is not aligned
properly. It is coming along with the text itself (followed by the
text).

I am using two lines of code for displaying this multi select list as
follows,

multiListView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(activityinstance,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, ));
multiListView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

While checking and un checking  the items (check box) are dancing
(moving left and right).
Can any one suggest me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Muthu Kumar K.

[android-developers] Re: Using G1 as modem

[cmisak - www.redkite.us]

Xavier Mathews

Not so bright are you. tethering your phone (any phone) to your
laptop opens up a powerful traveling and mobile tool... Sure you can
surf your internet on your phone but that can be annoying, and doesn't
support Flash.. So peal open that thing you call a brain.

The problem i have with some of these hacks like teatherbot they scare
me to try. And half the instructions are difficult and incomplete for
someone that doesn't understand SDK.. has anyone found an app or
solution as easy as BlackBerry tethering? For now i'll stick to my
Pearl but i'm keeping a watchful eye on the G1 and maybe the G2 for
tethering and than i'll make the full jump.

Thanks All

You need just to extend the MediaController class and override the hide

[Rocky]

Hi,

 I been working on Android for past few weeks , I have progressed
significantly on porting Android on IMX31 platform , now I am facing
problems with touch screen, it is not working !

 I have checked "cat /dev/input/event1" I get some junk info whenever
I touch screen which proves something is working around the driver,
off late I have seen mail listing on android and issues with
touchscreen, which mentions using of "TSLIB" for android file system.

 Can u provide me some inputs on following issues;

(a) How to "statically"  compile and integrate "TSLIB" to android
filesystem, this would be a great help as far I have seen on mailing
list most of them have failed to compile it statically!

(b) I would like to know if any patch or modification needs to be done
to "mxc_ts.c" file in  "../drivers/input/touchscreen/"
  I am attaching my "mxc_ts.c" file with mail , Kindly have a look
at it.

I will highly appreciate u r help/ suggestions on touch screen issues
& awaiting for u r responce.

Best Regards,
Rajesh

[android-developers] Linking Directly To An App In The Market?

Is there any way to link directly to an application in the

the Marketplace and bring users to your app. Or to launch the
Marketplace from a URL or something.

Been trying to figure out how to do this. Anyone sniff any G1 traffic
yet?

Hi all,

I'm a mobile media product developer at a major media company in New
York City, and we are looking for a vendor with experience in Android,
web apps, and mobile in general. I understand Android is new, but if
you've got something out there to see already, that would really help.
Please reply with a brief description of your Android experience and a
link or a word about yourself and your company.

Thanks,

[android-developers] Upload Error (corrupt manifest)

[ryan]

After using apkbuilder to make an apk file and then jarsigning it with
a certificate good for 100 years, I'm getting this strange error when
attempting to upload:

The file is invalid: W/ResourceType(29469): Bad XML block: header size
28024 or total size 1702240364 is larger than data size 973 ERROR:
AndroidManifest.xml is corrupt

This is the same error I get if I let apkbuilder sign it.

The application builds and runs just fine on my phone via ABD/DDMS in
Eclipse. Couldn't find anything relating to this error out on the web.

Here is my manifest:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0"
package="info.yoosefi.android.scout">

[android-developers] Question: How to debug Calendar or other default applications

[Cliff]

I've setup my debug environment and I can generate android projects
like "api demo" using eclipse and adt, and I can debug it as well.

Now's the problem, when I generated a Calendar app from the raw
source. I found many imports are missing. Like
android.provider.Calendar.Reminders; android.text.format.DateFormat
etc. So it can't be compiled at all.

Can anyone give me some hint about how to debug these projects like
this one? Thank you very much.

[android-developers] CallLog.Calls.NEW - what is it?

[Dan]

Hello,

The javadoc description for this column is: "Whether or not the call
has been acknowledged".  Acknowledged how, and by whom or by what?

As far as I can tell with the emulator, a missed call has NEW value 0,
and incoming and outgoing calls have value 1.  And nothing I do from
the call log seems to change this value (e.g. returning a missed call,
etc.).

A related question:  how do I simulate a waiting voicemail on the
emulator?  I tried checking the "send directly to voicemail" box on a
contact and then having that number call in, but the call just rings
until one end or the other hangs up.

Thanks,
dan

[android-developers] broadcast event to trigger an UI

[BB]

I am trying to get a UI to present itself when an incoming SMS
happens.  When that happens, I would like to present a UI to the user.

I have a BroadcastReceiver class that listens to the SMS_RECEIVED
event.  I also have an Activity class that is capable of displaying
the needed UI when the event happens.

The questions is: How do I start the activity from within the
onReceive method of BroadcastReceiver?

I know others have done this but I can't seem to find any resources
that illustrates how.

[android-developers] Read Image with multiple Frames - Animated Gif

[Siva Rajaraman]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know how to read in an image file which has multiple
frames in it. Something like an animated gif file. I would like to
perform frame by frame animation with a file of this type. I don't
want to have each frame as drawables in the resource directory. Can
anyone trhow some light on how to perform the above mentioned tasks.

Thanks

Siva

P.S - I have already checked the example in the API demos where an
animated gif is read as an object of type Movie. I don't want to read
it in as a movie file.

[android-developers] can't kill dhcpcd completely?

[Bai.Luo]

i find that init process will periodically check all of the service,
when the init found through PID does not exist,which created by the
init process, init process will then start again

this may cause something wrong:

in the init.rc script
...
service dhcpcd /system/bin/dhcpcd eth0
disabled

and i modified it like this

service dhcpcd /system/bin/dhcpcd eth0
disabled
oneshot

but everytime i open the wifi,the system will fork a new dhcpcd
process,and after i shutdown the wifi,the dhcpcd process is still
alive.
so after i open and close the wifi many times,there are many dhcpcd
process exist

the ps log is here.there are three dhcpcd process:
 677 root 0 DW<  [SDIO Helper]
 679 root 0 DW<  [SDIO Helper]
 681 root   724 S/system/bin/sh

Subject: [android-developers] RTSP Streaming on g1 phone



 Hi, I'm trying to receive RTSP streaming video with g1. The video
file I made was encoded using QuickTime pro, and they are progressive
streamable with a hint track. Video is encoded in H.264, and audio is
encoded in AAC LC. File container is MP4. (They can be played via
sdcard)

 I used Darwin Streaming Server to stream this file.

 With sample media player given from android, I changed 'path' to the
address like "rtsp://172.29.10.109/test.mp4"

 The results are really odd. It sometimes (like once per 20~30 times)
runs well, but in other times, only audio is played and video freezes
after first 1~3 frames.

 Is there anyone having same problem or any idea? Any comments will be
very appreciated.
 Thanks in forward.

[android-developers] Re: [android-developers]Using JNI to call C lib on android platform

[Dianne Hackborn]

It means that the SDK does not include support for native ARM code.
Figuring out tricks to use it is just like working around the SDK to use
some other unsupported API: you will most likely break at some point in the
future when your users receive an OTA update that changes the API you are
using.  In this case, the API is the entire set of APIs for native code: the
calling conventions, posix and c library, etc.

Sorry but that is all I have time to post on this topic.  You can do a
search on the group to find numerous other discussions on it.

[android-developers] Re: [android-developers]Using JNI to call C lib on android platform

[Jerry Yang]

Hi, Dianne

I also see some declaration that says the native code is not supported
in current SDK.

 

I am a little bit confused.

So is this API can work for loading a C written library? That means the
android java platform can use the function implied in the library( .so
cross-compiled by arm based GCC), is that right?

Maybe my conception is not correct, but what is the exact meaning of
"Native code support"? is it means the JNI or anything else?

 

Thanks

With best wishes

Jerry

[android-developers] What is the 'correct' way to set styles programmatically?

[Kennard Consulting]

Dear All,

Given a widget and a int that references a style (defined in my res/
values/style.xml), what is the 'correct' way to programmatically apply
the style to the widget?

Up until now I've been hacking this by...

protected void applyStyle( View view, int style ) {

TypedArray attributes = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes( style,
android.R.styleable.View );

int padding = attributes.getDimensionPixelSize
( android.R.styleable.View_padding, -1 );
view.setPadding( padding, padding, padding, padding );
}

...but with the demise of android.R.styleable in 1.0 Release 2, I
guess it's time to implement this properly?

I note:

1. AssetManager.applyStyle is package-protected
2. Theme.obtainStyleAttributes is hardcoded to use XmlBlock$Parser,
not just an AttributeSet

So what is the 'official' way?

Regards,

Richard.

[android-developers] Re: Questions about using Android native apps on commercial products

[bercago]

Hi Dianne,
Thanks for your reply!

One more question, what is "Licensed under Apache 2.0"?
Is "Apache 2.0" a kind of agreement or ?

I tried to google what is "Apache 2.0",
most of the web pages said it is a software to build a server
(but I believe this is not what we talk about here).
And some pages try to explain it but I am not familiar with laws or
intellectual property rights .

Could you tell me what is "Apache 2.0" in short and can we use them on
commercial device?
I believe we can :)

Thanks again!

[android-developers] Re: collections vs arrays?

[Romain Guy]

Collections are also often backed by arrays or linked list (which
implies extra objects) so the overhead can be significant over an
array. If you need a growing array though, you might want to stick
with collections. android.view.ViewGroup uses its own growing array
implementation to avoid the extra cost of ArrayList for instance.

[android-developers] Re: collections vs arrays?

[David Turner]

if you need to access them in a tight loop, arrays are much faster than
collections
(because accessing an array element is very fast compared to calling an
interface method to get at the corresponding item in a collection)

No, the test case runs in a separate thread, so the main application thread
is free to run.  There is an API you can call to have work done on the main
thread.

Look at the docs on Instrumentation, there are methods and such for this.
Sorry I don't have any specific example code handy, maybe someone else can
help.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when scrolling ListView

[Romain Guy]

Then your app just uses way too much memory and the ListView drawing
cache happens to make you go over the limit. You can also disable
ListView's scrolling cache but it will just postpone your memory
issues a little bit, not fix them.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when scrolling ListView

[Matt Hall]

I'm struggling with the same problem, but aren't able to fix things
like the previous poster. When I switched to reusing views as
previously suggested I seem to have delayed the crash, but it still
happens. I am drawing a custom bitmap as part of my list items and
have tried to keep their generation to a minimum, but the drawing
cache still seems to cause the force quit no matter what I do/reuse.

I'll post here if I figure out anything further, but from what I can
see just reusing the views doesn't completely fix this problem.

[android-developers] Re: Table layout without using Android XML

[Emmanuel]

Should MainLayout be the layout you want to add your Table Layout in,
and MyActivity, your activity ( odds are great that this one is simply
'this' ) :

TableLayout curTable = new TableLayout( MyActivity);
for (int i = 0; i < mNbRows; i++)
{
TableRow CurRow = new TableRow( MyActivity );
for (int j = 0; j < mNbColumns; j++)
{
// Add your content in your curRow here
// for instance for a button :
Button CurButton = new Button( MyActivity );
CurRow.addView(CurButton);
}
curTable.addView( CurRow );
}
MainLayout.addView ( curTable );

When you mean 'main' thread, does that mean the thread create by the

Thank you. Can you please tell me where I can find an example of "can

[android-developers] Re: how to update list

[Emmanuel]

Do you mean the data from your adapter has changed, and you want to
update your list from this ?

To achieve this result, I create the adapter from the new data, and
reset it to the list.
There should be another cleaner method, but this is works for me !

You should be able to either connect the left and right edges of the text

and layout_weight of 1.

[android-developers] Re: Question about android instrumentation

[Dianne Hackborn]

If you just want to have the method called, you can post work to the main
thread and directly call the method on the activity.

If you want to mock out some other activity it is launching to return your
own result, you can add an activity watcher to look for the launch, cancel
it, and return the desired result.

The VM is listening for two signals, SIGQUIT and SIGUSR1.  If you send
it a SIGQUIT it will dump the stacks from all running threads; if you
send it a SIGUSR1 it will dump the heap profiling data.

On a production device, you can't send signals to arbitrary processes,
so "adb shell kill -10 " isn't going to work.  You can, however,
send the process a signal from itself, using
android.os.Process.sendSignal(myPid(), SIGNAL_USR1).  Unfortunately
(as you've noted) this isn't useful unless (a) the process can write
to /data/misc, and (b) you can "adb pull" the files out once they have
been written.

In not-yet-public Cupcake there's a new call in android.os.Debug that
will dump the heap profiling data to a file you specify.  In the
future we hope to be able to control this through DDMS.

In the mean time, you need to use a development device or the
emulator, either of which will allow you to "chmod 777 /data/misc".

[android-developers] Re: Recognising when an app is "closed"

[Mark Nuetzmann]

mcswd01,

You also might take a look at using the onDestroy() event of the first/
main Activity.  onDestroy for the main activity will only get called
if you hit back from that activity of call finish() for that
activity.  I think this is what you are looking for.

[android-developers] Re: Selected state of WebView in a ListView does not show selection

We built an app at some point that was made of a ListView of WebViews.
I haven't tried this in a while though.

I'd be fairly stunned if WebView worked well in a ListView or other

[android-developers] Generate .apk without debug info in .class

[Nanard]

Hi,

If I test my application and generate a .apk, or if I use the 'Export
unsigned' menu, I get the
same application size.

How can I remove debug information for my final releases ?

I use Eclipse.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: how to pass object as a parameter when starting a service

[zero]

You can pass a Bundle into the Intent that starts the service,
so as long as your object fits into a Bundle, no problem.

[android-developers] Re: Some Activities never display UIs?

[Andrew Stadler]

Ron-

This is not comprehensive, but here is one example:

You can create an Activity that serves to accept Intents, process or
react to them in a non-UI way, and then either send a new Intent or a
response.

Here's how:  Do all of the work in onCreate(), never call
setContentView(), and on the way out of onCreate, be sure to call
finish().

[android-developers] Mships.com << Can you help review, etc?

[Mships]

Hi guys!
Asking for a bunch of immediate feedback on Mships.com
Please go to http://www.mships.com and email what you think of the
site, give feedback, suggestions for launching, specific online groups
this might appeal to, ideas on how to promote easily, quickly online,
virally etc.

What I am asking for
1. Do you understand the point? Good deed actions daily specified by
players, spreading around the world.
2. Can you leave a few messages? Thanks, we collect great messages.
3. Anyone see this launching for Android?
4. Is there anyone, or a few people, who can give feedback, guidance,
and∫ help?

Brief Mships OverView
Mships is a bunch of "kindness games." People around the world follow
TodaysInstructions for each game. One simple daily action sent in by
other players, and hand chosen. TodaysInstructions,
TomorrowsInstructions + "SpreadTheGame," todays instructions for all
of us spreading the game using Twitter, FaceBook, blogs + other social
sites.

What I want from you
I am hoping to appeal with a new, unusual "game" about making positive
moves every day, coordinating kindness actions around the world with
fun simple silly games. I am new to being a developer... for iPhone
and Android. Just started. Can use any help I can get! Also looking
for an iPhone & an Android development partner. This could be easy. A
lot of where we're at right now is sending + collecting messages, and
players using the wallpapers in the game to see if others made today's
game "move(s)!" + in spreading the kindness games.

THANKS!
Jonathan

 The services come from different APKs.
 
 Best way to think about it is the main application does some processing
 and an additional number of APKs can contain perform contributions to
 that processing. For example, there may be many APKs each of which has a
 particular stock trading prediction forumla, and a main APK has stock
 price data, the main APK calls each of the strategy APKs with the stock
 history content provider URI and each strategy APK can process the
 history and do what it wants.
 
 The strategy APKs may not come from one place and may be written by many
 different companies (hence why they are seperate APKs)
 
 Hope that clarifies things a bit.

Have you looked at ordered broadcasts?

Maybe this is what you need?

[android-developers] Re: Starting multiple services sequentially

[Al Sutton]

I'm not limited to services, so if there is a way to do this with an 
activity I'd be happy to do that.

The problem with timeouts is that it's possible for the app to still be 
alive and the timeout to kick in, which is not what I want.

I hope there is a way to do this :).

[android-developers] Re: MMS ( Messaging App ) ACTION_SEND "text/plain"

[Peli]

The answer is simple:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Mms.git;a=blobdiff;f=AndroidManifest.xml;h=bdb822cd1b5014bf0814160138e8ac0c3cce29c7;hp=772fc2270e138a1f3d2bf077a17908fb7ca8a122;hb=HEAD;hpb=8eed706474910ccb978acda03e85d3261037da6e

The original version of MMS only had the intent filter for image/*
MIME type. As you can see in the diff, video/* and text/plain MIME
types have been added later (in cupcake), but are not available on the
device yet.

[android-developers] Re: Market statistics for apps targeting The Netherlands are not correct

[Ronald van der Lingen]

Justin,

Thanks for looking into the situation. I will wait and see whether the
statistics will be updated in the next couple of days. The app has
been in the market for 5 days, so there is already quite a big delay.

One interesting thing is that the ratings do show up in the developer
console (8 at this moment), but the download count remains 0.

Kind regards,
Ronald

[android-developers] Re: Starting multiple services sequentially

[Peli]

I think it is impossible to know whether a service has finished or not
unless the service itself lets you know that.

If you just check whether the service is still alive - it may be
waiting for a server response - or it may have finished and processing
some other application's requests.

So, I guess you have to request that all services let you know by a
callback when they are done, so that you can continue with the next
service. Probably you also need a timeout, in case a service never
finishes.

[android-developers] Re: Starting multiple services sequentially

[Al Sutton]

The services come from different APKs.

Best way to think about it is the main application does some processing 
and an additional number of APKs can contain perform contributions to 
that processing. For example, there may be many APKs each of which has a 
particular stock trading prediction forumla, and a main APK has stock 
price data, the main APK calls each of the strategy APKs with the stock 
history content provider URI and each strategy APK can process the 
history and do what it wants.

The strategy APKs may not come from one place and may be written by many 
different companies (hence why they are seperate APKs)

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

[android-developers] MMS ( Messaging App ) ACTION_SEND "text/plain"

[Alexey]

Hi All i'm looking for answer why Messaging is not showing up in the
activity chooser dialog.
Looking at the manifest it should do exactly that























   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   


But if i create my intent like that :

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Header");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "The SMS text");
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
try {

getContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent,
getContext().getText(R.string.share_this_story)));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Can't share the Story",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Only gmail is an option or gmail +k9 if k9 installed.
Changing intent type to */* works but it's not really a good options
since i have a plain text.

thanks Alex.

[android-developers] Listview layout and other widgets

[Al]

In my listview, I'm trying to make the list row show 2 imageviews as
well as the textview which holds the data. The layout of a single row
is like this: [textview | img1| img2]. The problem is the text inside
the textview overlaps the imageviews. I've tried various layout
options but can't seem to get it right. This is my layout file:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
>











and this is the code I'm using for generating the list:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.favs,
R.id.label, shows);

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: I am getting SICK of 1 star ratings for charging!

[Beshoy Girgis]

I think some cool additions to the market would be to be able to rate a
comment with a thumbs up or down... then from there, show the top ten rated
comments or what not.. no need to show all 1000 of them.

[android-developers] Re: Market statistics for apps targeting The Netherlands are not correct

[Justin (Google Employee)]

Ronald,

I've talked with the Market team and there may be a delay in
statistics gathering. My recommendation is to wait a day or two and
see what your results are then. Either way, please post back with your
results in a day or two.

Cheers,
Justin
