[android-developers] Re: Reg playing youtube video in android
I'm pretty sure this is due to the way the emulator handles UDP
packets. There is an outstanding bug about this, but no one has had
time to work on it.

I searched the web and only found the latest firmware version for ADP1 should be the 1.1. But it's not the rc33 and lack some new features as Latitude. As a dev phone, ADP1 should have more advanced features than normal G1 firmware, isn't it? Or can I check out the latest source and build the firmware myself. If it is possible then how?

Hi, Can you share the code snippet you use to call, for example - "212333,4;444" ?

[android-developers] Re: Reg playing youtube video in android
Michael,
using browser running in the android in emulator mode, i launched
http://m.youtube.com.
it opened up a page contaning list of video files. when i click any one of
them, it starts to load video, but finally it fails with the message,
"Sorry, this video cannot be played".
using adb logcat, i got the log messages as,

in the shell,
when i do "ps" command,
"app_8189 2491620 13156 afe0c824 S
com.android.music:MovieView" is appearing.
how the complete flow works?
who is responsible for launching the video stream, is MovieView consists of
MediaPlayer and VideoView.
is any format changes in m.youtube.com video, any way to clearly see the
Error(-1,0) means.

[android-developers] Re: How can I launch the built-in picture viewer app from my app?
ok, thanks, I got the picture viewer to spawn but it doesn't display any new pictures since the viewer was run the first time. If I reset the phone (i.e. the picture viewer is forced to restart and rescan pictures) and launch the viewer again then the new pictures are displayed as expected (so this is a caching issue). Does anyone know how to force the picture viewer to rescan photos when it's being brought back to the front view? Some sort of Intent flag maybe? Thanks.

[android-developers] Customization on SearchDialog
Hi Android folks,
We currently want to customize the default Android search dialog UI to
have our own look&feel. After looking into Android source code, we
found out that two things of Android preventing us from doing it.
1. SearchManager declares an instance of SearchDialog as one of its
private fields
2. SearchDialog is not compiled into the SDK. We are using 1.0R2.
As for problem 1, we actually could work it around by reflection. The
following is our code snippet to expose the private search dialog
field of SearchManager
SearchManager searchManager =
(SearchManager)getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
try
{
Class searchManagerClass =
searchManager.getClass();
Field searchDialogField =
searchManagerClass.getDeclaredField("mSearchDialog");
searchDialogField.setAccessible
(true);
searchDialogField.set
(searchManager, new OurCustomSearchDialog(context));
} catch (SecurityException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch
block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchFieldException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch
block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch
block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch
block
e.printStackTrace();
}
However, when the code comes to the line
searchDialogField.set(searchManager, new OurCustomSearchDialog
(context));,
it brings up the second problem. Because SearchDialog is not in the
SDK, we have no way to create our custom search dialog by subclassing
it. Then the line is actually not possible.
Since the approach above cannot achieve our goal, I wonder if any of
you guys happen to know how to customize the default Android search
dialog, or at least why Google takes measures like that to protect
SearchDialog from being customized. Thanks!

[android-developers] Market numbers are weird the last few days
Starting this past weekend, all of a sudden the Android Market numbers for new Active Users has dropped VERY sharply for my app while the new downloads are higher than usual. (This is usually a symptom of large numbers of existing users re-downloading and re-installing the app) The user comments are positive as ever, the rating remains high at 4 stars, and emails to me the developer also remain positive. I have retested my app on RC33 and it works fine. I'm confused, and of course the way the Market and Google support works, helpless. I am suspecting that with the new Android Update RC33 something has changed with the way these download and new user numbers are captured, calculated or reported.

I just try to invoke the method and make sure their functions, so it's

I'll try as you said in inner screen later and post the result here.

[android-developers] Re: Communicating with a Looper thread
Oh I missed that you are writing your own special Thread. You probably
shouldn't use Thread unless you know how to do regular Java synchronization,
which is what you need to do here.
The framework has a HandlerThread class that does all of this for you.

[android-developers] Views
I have a couple different questions: 1) Does Google think there will only be one screen size on Android phones? The reason I ask is because I haven't been able to find anything on "variable" layouts in Android? I would like to create a layout with 2 webviews, one 80% of screen height and the other 20%. Is this even possible, or do I need to assign the height of each as a static "px" value? 2) How do I preserve the data in my views when someone switches between landscape and portrait? I doubt it's hard, but I've not been able to find it. Can someone post an example?

[android-developers] Re: Communicating with a Looper thread
Dianne,
But how do I get the handle?
My handle is created in run(). From the main thread of control, how
do I know
when run() finished creating my handle?
Thanks

[android-developers] openGL : Render to texture
Is it possible on Android to use the result of a render as a texture for the next render? To render, I need to call eglMakeCurrent and specify the surface to render to. No problem. I create the main user display surface using eglCreateWindowSurface, and create an additional render targets by using eglCreatePbufferSurface. I would then MakeCurrent for my RT surface, render my world, then MakeCurrent on the display surface, and render more stuff, using the RT surface as a texture. The problem is that I can't find any way to actually use the result of the render to the RT surface. I should be able to call eglBindTexImage, but the function does not exist.

[android-developers] Re: Question about Preference Screen
>From the code here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/preference/PreferenceScreen.java;h=9929b963755e03609c37822b01fe101f3ce575a2;hb=HEAD
it looks like mDialog is only valid when that particular (inner)
PreferenceScreen is shown, i.e. when you see the contents of that
PreferenceScreen. So it the return value of getDialog() is depending
on when exactly you call it.
What is it exactly you want to achieve after accessing the dialog?

[android-developers] Re: Touch screen response delay
I've finally nailed a semi-reproducible test case for this and have raised an issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1956 This is a nasty bug - I think it's a showstopper for me in this application: I have too much state associated with touch events to avoid synchronization and the only workarounds I can think of involve lots of object creation.

You don't need to know, as long as you can get the Handler you can post

[android-developers] Re: Question about Preference Screen
Dear Christoph
Thanks for ur reply:)
I've tried as you said and I got the concept of the structure.But
there is still a problem when I use the getDialog() method.
I found that the return of this method is null when using it in my
program but not null when I use ddms to debug and check the mDialog,
and the mDialog is just set null in onDismiss() method, but ddms can't
go into this method at running time, so I'm not sure whether this
mDialog is the reference of the inner PreferenceScreen and can we get
it by getDialog(), this is the annotation of getDialog() : ' Used to
get a handle to the dialog. This is useful for cases where we want to
manipulate the dialog as we would with any other activity or view.'

[android-developers] Re: Possible Bug in Dialog-Persistence (onCreateDialog / onPrepareDialog)
I just discovered the same issue, that when the screen orientation is changed, and the owner is recreated, any dialogs are recreated with onCreateDialog but onPrepareDialog does not appear to be called. The relevant sections of code can be found in Activity.java and Dialog.java. When the dialogs are being restored they are created through calls to onCreateDialog, but the dialog state is actually restored through Dialog.onRestoreInstanceState. To me, this design design does not mesh all that well with the existence of onPrepareDialog. In any case, it is possible to achieve the desired effect by overriding Dialog.onSaveInstanceState and Dialog.onRestoreInstanceState rather than relying on Activity.onPrepareDialog. This is made slightly more difficult since Dialog does not follow the normal Activity lifecycle, ie, there is no onResume called after onRestoreInstanceState, so many of the things that you would normally put in onResume must go into onRestoreInstanceState without interfering with the rest of your dialog. Hope that helps.

[android-developers] Re: Question about Preference Screen
When the PreferenceActivity encounters nested PreferenceScreens in the
hierarchy, it will add the inner PreferenceScreen as a list entry
(similar appearance as e.g. for a EditTextPreference) to the outer
PreferenceScreen. When the user clicks on this list entry, the
contents of the inner PreferenceScreen will be shown.
If this explanation does not make sense to you, just open Settings on
your phone. You can imagine all the entries shown on that screen
("Wireless controls", "Call settings" etc.) being inner
PreferenceScreens of the main PreferenceScreen. When you click on an
entry, the contents of that particular inner PreferenceScreen will be
shown.
I think the "Dialog" refers to the new - automatically generated -
screen that is shown when you click on the list entry and drill down
into the inner PreferenceScreen. It doesn't really look like a dialog,
but that's probably what it is. (As an alternative, the inner
PreferenceScreen could specify an activity intent that is fired when
the user clicks on its list entry.)

[android-developers] Communicating with a Looper thread
I need a message queue in my background thread, so I created a looper
thread.
// Example 1:
class LooperThread extends Thread {
public Handler mHandler;
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// process incoming messages here
}
};
Looper.loop();
}
}
In my main (UI) thread I do:
LooperThread workerThread = new LooperThread()
workerThread.start() // starts initializing the thread
Now the question is how to communicate with it? I can have an
accesser getHandle() that returns my handle so I can send messages to
it.
The issue is that I have no idea when workerThread.start() has
finishing run() on the thread (and thus initialized the Handler) so I
have no deterministic way of sending/posting to it just yet.
Another words, I don't know when Looper.loop() starts running...
My goal is to enqueue a message into its MessageQueue immediately
after Handle is created so it can start handling them.
What's the correct pattern here?
Thanks

[android-developers] Question about Preference Screen
Hi All: When I see the doc of Preference Screen, there is one paragraph about the sub-preference screen related to dialog, the doc is as follow: ---> When it appears inside another preference hierarchy, it is shown and serves as the gateway to another screen of preferences (either by showing another screen of preferences as a Dialog or via a Context.startActivity(android.content.Intent) from the Preference.getIntent()). The children of this PreferenceScreen are NOT shown in the screen that this PreferenceScreen is shown in. Instead, a separate screen will be shown when this preference is clicked. But in Android Api Demo, the Preference from code, I find nothing related to Dialog when using PreferenceScreen as the base element of preference, and I have no idea about 'showing another screen of preferences as a Dialog', what does it mean? Is there a pop-dialog when we click anywhere in Preference Screen? But the Preference Screen is invisible.

[android-developers] Re: How ACTION_CHOOSER picks choices for ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER
I'm not sure I understand your question. When you use ACTION_CHOOSER, you are bringing up a dialog showing all of the activities that have an intent-filter matching the Intent you have supplied. When the user selects one of those, it simply launches the Intent you originally specified with the component set to the explicit component of the activity the user picked. There are no other Intents involved. On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 3:00 PM, Rohit wrote: > > I have the same question.

[android-developers] Repeating alarms with AlarmManager and daylight saving / leap years
Hey I'm looking for a way to trigger repeated actions. I'd like the user to be able to choose the intervals at which these actions will be executed. One should be able to choose from intervals like "Every Day", "Every Month", and "Every Year". The setRepeating(int, long, long, PendingIntent) method of the android.app.AlarmManager class only supports a long value for choosing the interval between the execution of the pending intent. My problem now is, that I can not just compute the number of milliseconds that "fit into one day", since not all days have the same length (daylight saving). This is also a problem for the interval type "year" (leap years). I had a quick look at the android.os.Handler class, but as I understood the documentation I'd need to keep a service thread running for my actions to be executed at some future time. I don't consider that a good option for my needs ;-) Is there anything in the API I could configure with a cron expression or the like? I was also thinking about scheduling an alarm with the AlarmManager for a single execution at a given date/time and then having a receiver that does the rescheduling according to a cron expression attached to the intent. But I don't know if I just got something completely wrong here and I'm reinventing the wheel with that approach :-/ Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated :-) Cheers Lorenz --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

All, Per this thread, http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/79752885135cc87b, I know that addPackageToPreferred is going away in the future. Can the Googlers comment on the addPreferredActivity under the android.content.pm.PackageManager package? If both methods are going away, are you plan to replace this feature by the way of broadcasting intent? I have listed my use case below. Maybe you can provide me an alternative way other than using the addPreferredActivity? Use Case 1 1. A user installs and runs the application 2.

[android-developers] Sub Activities in Tabs?
Hi All, I have a tabbed applicationen setup. I like to keep the tabs visible at all times and work with its subactivites as 'more or less' standalone application threads. Within one or more of these tab subactivities, I'd like to start its own sub-activity, which should not hide the root tabs. Whatever I've found will call ctx.startActivity() which works, but will hide the tabs by using the full screen. Is there a way to limit the sub actitivies to a parent activities bounds, and keep (in my case) the rot Tabs visible? Where shall I look?

[android-developers] 3rd party jar
Hi, Having a problem here with including a 3rd party jar and couldn't find any proper solutions on the group so far. Compiling the HelloWorld app. with an additional 3rd party jar (cglib-nodep). The jar is in the lib/ folder and has been added to build path (add jar). Compiling gives these warnings (about ~30 times): warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class that doesn't come with an associated EnclosingMethod attribute. (This class was probably produced by a broken compiler.) I then tried to create the dex file myself (dx --dex --output=xx.dex xx.jar) and succeeded without any errors. As far as I know an incompatible jar file (incompatible byte code) shouldn't have passed this one. Am I right here? The problem is that by adding another 3 external jars the number of warnings increases, compiling fills the buffer completely and finally crashes the workspace. Did I miss something? I tried another approach by adding them as user lib but got an undefined reference at runtime. (The .dex and .apk were far too small, so I think they didn't get included) Libs were: cglib-nodep commons-logging antlr-runtime --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Thanks. Yes, it works much better with requestLocationUpdates set to

For the benefit of anyone reading and reusing code, requesting
location updates drains the battery very quickly, so remember to
unregister the LocationListener whenever you pause the application.
Code below.

[android-developers] Re: Advanced trackball issues in ListView
A clearer (hopefully) example...

[android-developers] Advanced trackball issues in ListView
Hey all, Have some nitpicky scrolling issues in ListView that I don't expect many people to know the answer to, but if there are any experts in ListView, your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a ListView of contacts such that one contact, the contact that the viewer is currently looking at, has a larger view than the other contacts, example shown below. |* | Contact |* | CONTACT | |* | Contact |* I have it set up so that if you move up and down with the trackball, the expanded contact changes such that moving down on the trackball will produce this result: |* | Contact |* | Contact |* | CONTACT | |* This seems to work great for the contacts that fit into the first screen, but once you use your finger to scroll to a different part of the list, I seem to run into a semi-annoying problem when moving the trackball. The comments in the ListView code describes what should happen when I move the trackball down: * Case 1: Scrolling down. */ /* * Before After *| || | *+---++---+ *| A || A | *| 1 | => +---+ *+---+| B | *| B || 2 | *+---++---+ *| || | * *Try to keep the top of the previously selected item where it was. *oldSel = A *sel = B */ This works perfectly for the list of contacts displayed on the initial screen. However, once I move to another portion of the list, it seems that the list is keeping the bottom of the previously selected item where it was, and not the top. So, something like this: /* * Before After *| || | *+---+ +---+ *| A || A | *| 1 | => || *+---+ +---+ *| B || B | *+---+ | 2| *| |+---+ */ (If this ascii doesn't display correctly, I'll post another example in my reply.) In this case, the position of the second selected contact is determined by the BOTTOM of the previously selected contact, giving the ListView a "jumpy" feeling and allowing me to only view ~3 contacts before having to use my finger to move to the next screen. It's a problem that's not a gamestopper, but something that can hurt the user experience of the application. Anyway, I know that this is a pretty advanced use case, so if there's anyone that can help me out with this, I would be very grateful.

I don't remember precisely. Since I'm not sure this is the problem you're experiencing, it would probably be best to send the author some information about what version of the platform you're running, along with a healthy snippet from the log file. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Android SDK v1.1 - changes / bug fixes or lack of
This thread is for reporting changes and bug fixes (or the lack of fixes) to the new 1.1 SDK. So far I have found: Bug: android.graphics.Bitmap.getPixels and android.graphics.Bitmap.getPixel still do not correctly function (information is lost). Feature missing: Playing sounds from input streams is not available. This is very useful when playing from a single resource that contains multiple sounds. Documentation is still a bit thin. It is very hard to know how to write an optimised application, especially when using the 2D graphics API's which have very little explained.

[android-developers] Re: Loading DEX files at runtime from SDCARD - Possible?
Thanks for the response Dianne, I still live in the cotton wool word of
University where third parties are friendly types.
Understood, I did some more searching and found another thread in which you
contributed regarding this topic;
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/7ee9248deeacd556/b116df9cffe4e045?lnk=gst&r#b116df9cffe4e045
In case anyone else is on this trail.
I will also reply to your message there as I need a little
further clarification on the options available for a plugin style
architecture.
Kind regards,
Gavin

[android-developers] Re: Dynamically changing the language at runtime
Like I said, there isn't really a way. You are doing stuff that isn't really supported, so you're going to be hacking around. Forcibly changing the configuration of resources is already a hack -- for example if the user flips the lid the configuration will change, blowing away what you set. I probably shouldn't have said anything. :} On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 12:39 PM, Evgeny V wrote: > So, what can be a best way to restart the app except to ask user restart > manually? > > Thanks, > Evgeny > > On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 9:49 PM, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > >> You will need to do all of the UI recreation in your activity.
