[android-developers] How to create a native c process from android java program
Hi, I write a jni so file which can be called from the android java program. This so file will use execl to create a native c process. However from adb logcat, it says execl error with Bad address(errno 14) Is it possible to create a native c process from android java program Thanks for any help --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] How to control WebView cache
I have a Webview inside my activity. I would like to cache the content for one week (purely to reduce data usage to save user money). After one week, it is considered expired and so the webview should refresh the content from network. If cached content is less than one week old, webview should not use network at all. I know there is a WebSettings.setCacheMode method but can someone please clarify on LOAD_NORMAL and LOAD_DEFAULT? The documentation doesn't say much about those 2 modes.

Actually, they were such simple changes I made both at once. E.G. I used UTF-8, instead of utf-8. And I switched to the loadDataWithBaseURL function. The variable html was always a String so no change there. I'm guessing it's the loadDataWithBaseURL function that did the trick, but I will try both suggestions in isolation just to make sure. I'd rather not use the loadDataWithBaseURL to load local data if I can help it, so I'll continue researching a fix for the loadData function. Thanks for your help.

[android-developers] Re: Official update for G1 Andriod developer phone (ADP) stock firmware
I don't control the various sites that you mentioned, though it's true at this point that having the information out there would indeed be good, given the growing evidence that many developers are eager to find that information. I'll mention it to our web guys in case they're not already reading this. Hoping to make the answers easier to find for other people who might search around, I'll answer your questions here (though the second one would really be more appropriate on the android-platform list as it's not directly related to development with the official SDK). -the 1.0 images aren't currently available either. I expect that they'll be made available at the same time as the 1.1 images (which will allow to switch back and forth between the two). I don't know any specific time frame for this to happen. -the exact source code for the entire 1.0 build is not available, though the android-1.0 tag in the git repositories is a reasonably close approximation of the underlying platform (the differences being essentially cosmetic). That will still be missing the proprietary Google applications that are built on top of the platform, and in addition the proprietary files necessary to run Android on Dream need to be extracted from an existing device. Being able to build and run (even without the Google bits) might be a harder task than it seems. I don't expect that the source code for the 1.1 platform will be available as our primary goal in this area is to switch to a real open-source mode where discussions, design and development happen in the open, and that goal is using all the resources that would otherwise be able to work on a 1.1 code drop.

A solution to everyone's problem might be a web page with some information. A page on http://developer.android.com/ or http://code.google.com/android/ or http://www.android.com/ that would provide the following information would be incredibly helpful. 1. An image of the original firmware release, so that I can easily return to a stable state. 2. What steps are needed to check out the source code for that original stable state (source control revisions/tags/versions - whatever git calls them) so that I can build the above original firmware release myself. It would be really awesome if I could start my code modifications with a stable android tree that I know is already running and working on my device. 3. Essentially the same blurb you posted above, about the next firmware release. It seems like that shouldn't take more then a few minutes of work, and maybe a few weeks of hassling the web guys. When the next release comes up, just add items 1 and 2 for it, and update item 3 for the next release.

I must have read dozens of articles showing update procedures and claiming to have leaked OFFICIAL developer updates and only recently did i find 2 thread that eventually end with something stating there is NO official update for developer phones yet. I have 2 gripes about this: 1. Why no official and clear statement from the development team to clarify this before people start scrambling desperately to install leaked versions that are false? (i know i almost did) 2. Why as a developer do i have to wait for features that are already available to end users?

[android-developers] Re: How to get a region which is not a standard rect area
Another solution is to use int Bitmap.getPixelhttp://code.google.com/android/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#getPixel(int, int)(int x, int y), if it runs normal, then the point(x, y) is in its region, otherwise, if an exception IllegalArgumentExceptionhttp://code.google.com/android/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.htmlhappens, that means the point is out of the bitmap's region. In this way, the left-bottom region is right, but the other three angle (top-left, top-right, right-bottom) is still the outer rect of the rotated bitmap. Please help!
