[android-developers] Multiple alarms not being recognized

[Juan David Trujillo C.]

In case this is useful for someone:
When you are programming several AlarmManagers, you have to differ
them using a setData parameter:

intent.setData((Uri.parse(custom://+SystemClock.elapsedRealtime
(;
 long firstAlarmMillis = getFirstTimeAlarm(mYear, mMonth, mDay,
mHour, mMinute);
 intent.putExtra(timeInMillis, firstAlarmMillis);
 PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast
(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);
 //Log.d(tiven, despues de la
alarma+firstAlarmMillis);
 AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService
(ALARM_SERVICE);
 am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, firstAlarmMillis, sender);

You have to set a parameter to differ intents, or else you won't be
able to hable them in a broadcast receiver.

Best regards,

Juan

 I do not want to use a server, because I am making a game that

 I would like the expiration data to survive an uninstall, but I am ok
 if it doesn't survive a manual edit of the database. Do an
 application's database entries get deleted when an app is uninstalled?
 How about preferences? Local files? Other methods?

[android-developers] Re: How to get a region which is not a standard rect area

[David Hu]

Hi, Mike
It still doesn't work for me. I've tried  two use case:
 1)  Pass a  very large rect as the clip region--the actual result
is the outer rect, bigger than my expect region;
 2)  Pass the outer rect as the clip region---the actual result
is smaller than the rotated bitmap region, my expect region.

 Is there still with some bugs of Region or Path?

 My expect use case,  I have a ImageView with a Bitmap, after rotate 30
degrees,  the bitmap region is a rotated rect from original rect, and the
ImageView containing the bitmap is a bigger rect than the original rect. I
want to judge whether the touch point is in the bitmap region. It seems easy
to judge in the ImageView region, but I want to get the exact bitmap region
for exact judgement. That's the reason why I need use Region and Path.

  Ah, that's a bug, null should be allowed. I'll see what can be done

  The clip parameter is mean to be a hint to speedup turning the path
  into a region by restricting the result to a clipped subset of the
  path. For your purposes, you can just make a big rectangular region
  for the clip. The bounds of the path or larger.

//Calculate region
top = 150;
bottom = top + bmp.getHeight(); //bmp is a bitmap instance
left = 200;
right = left + bmp.getWidth();
Path p = new Path();
p.addRect(left, top, right, bottom, Path.Direction.CCW);
  
   // use Matrix to rotate 30 degrees
Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
mtx.setRotate(30);
p.transform(mtx);
  
Region rgn  = new Region();
(1)  //- The application will crash here with an exception
 here
rgn.setPath(p, null);
(2)  //- The region is the rect area which encircle the

rgn.setPath(p, rgn);
(3) //-  The region is the rect area which encircle the

   rect, not the rotated rect itself
Region clipRgn = new Region(top, bottom, left, right);
mRgn2.setPath(p, clipRgn);
   BTW, I searched in android source code and www.google.com, can't find
   any
   usage of this API:
  
   public boolean setPath(Path path, Region clip)

 Yes, it is a public server. It's working for me. Perhaps it's a
 geographic problem. Anyway, here's what the page says:

 Support for multiple APNs - This feature will enable the different
 applications to connect to different Access Point Nodes (APNs). For
 example, a web browser can connect to an Internet APN connection while
 the MMS can connect to a separate MMS APN.

 That's listed under the section for Q4 2008, so obviously that's
 already passed. Does anyone know if this feature has made it into the
 open source project yet?

[android-developers] Re: Timed trial expiry?

[Al Sutton]

Just to expand a bit; you can use the code in 4(c)(ii) to check for an 
expiry date, and in your onCreate method, you look for a file on the SD 
card, if it doesn't exist create it to containing the expiry date, if it 
does exist read it and check if the app has expired.

Yes, it means that the user could delete the file from the SD card if 
they wanted to, but Android is designed to leave nothing behind when an 
app is uninstalled, so it's probably the best option you have.

[android-developers] Re: Market Apps Not Really Protected

[Al Sutton]

I'd say it's more of the lack of protection on protected apps that's 
been highlighted.

None of what's done in that blog entry uses things that haven't been 
around for months, so I'd be interested to know why Google have just 
ignored it all and come up with an easily hackable solution.

 (You might want to forward that to your users.)

 I presume the reason for doing it is so that Google can combine
 multiple purchases from a user into one charge on their card, so as to
 avoid incurring multiple fixed per-charge fees if the user purchases
 many apps in a short time. It's mildly annoying for the users, but I
 think it makes sense overall. I've noticed that iTunes does the same
 thing.

 Cool ! It worked... Thanx a lot
 I wasn't doing anything different than just using the float versions

 I am posting more observations which might help someone else.

 I can see the sample cube application using the GLSurfaceView and
 provides a Renderer interface for reusing that code very easily. All I
 have to do is write a new class which extends Renderer and pass it to
 setRenderer (Correct me if I am wrong)

 BUT I am using only one thread !!! I initialize the OpenGL and render
 NOT on a different thread like I assume most of you here are doing..
 On each touch event I call a draw function whose body is quoted below

 //CODE BEGINS

 /* I do this after binding and loading the texture image which is
 320x480

                ((GL11) gl).glTexParameteriv(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D,
                                   GL11Ext.GL_TEXTURE_CROP_RECT_OES,
                                   new int[] {0, 0, 320, 480}, 0);
 */

        public final void draw()
        {
                long now = System.nanoTime();
                GL10 l_gl = gl;

                int sss = GL10.GL_BLEND;

                l_gl.glDisable(sss);
                l_gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, t);
                ((GL11Ext)l_gl).glDrawTexiOES(0, 0, 0, 320, 480);
                l_gl.glEnable(sss);

                now = System.nanoTime() - now;
                System.out.println(10/now);
        }
 //CODE ENDS

 LogCat output from Println shows - 26 or 27 if I click and release at
 a very very slow rate.. and drops almost below 20 when I click and
 drag mouse which I assume is because of the touch event eating the CPU
 cycle which was discussed in another thread.

 Is my math to measure fps correct ? Is this the maximum potential of
 OpenGL on Android ?
 I tried using 256x256, 512x512 textures scaled to 320x480 and
 performance numbers are just the same

 Thanks to Android team for their beautiful performance optimization
 document.
 I use final, static, local declarations of references whenever
 possible now... and I can see a huge difference.

 ex: a user buys an app from the market. Google sends the developer
 their device ID

 App developer has Database for legit users (using information above),
 and app gets authenticated bases on that...

 any ideas

 otherwise limiting piracy would be very hard

[android-developers] Re: Dev Phone -- unable to see paid app on market

[Java Developer]

I wondered the same thing, from what I was able to find out it appears
the update is being sent by T-Mobile, thus you not only need to have a
Sim card in the phone (which I don't) you also need to have the phone
on T-Mobile (so my iPhone Sim can't help here)

On a side note, I don't believe the paid apps have been rolled out
to the users yet, either that or my sales are terrible!

[android-developers] Setting a Dialog width to fill screen?

[Tane Piper]

Hey folks,

I've created a custom class that extends Dialog and have a custom view
I use inside it.  When the dialog is activated, it looks like this:

http://img.waffleimages.com/278aad1d375a3e73c87189beac335c5d7100c8b5/device.png

It only seems to increase in width as I type into text boxes.  I've
tried to override the layout attributes of the dialog below, but it
still doesn't seem to stretch out to fit the screen.  I've also
included the XML for the view I want inside the dialog.

Can anyone suggest anything?

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setTitle(Create New List);
setContentView(R.layout.dialog_create_new_list);
LayoutParams params = getWindow().getAttributes();
params.height = LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
getWindow().setAttributes(params);

[android-developers] Re: Paid applications - are they downloadable now? By Al Sutton

[Steve Ingram]

As of this morning, the Android Market Developer Console is showing 2
total, 2 active installs.  Google checkout shows 3 successful
transactions and 1 declined payment.  So, there may be a delay in
updating the Dev Console.

I noticed that some paid apps are showing up on www.cyrket.com, but
not mine.  This makes me think that they are rolling out a limited
number of apps to a limited number of people.  This is probably a wise
move considering we have heard that some people are experiencing
difficulties making purchases.  Of course, I am just speculating.  It
would be nice to get some official word from Google.

Does anyone show more than a dozen purchases?

[android-developers] Paid apps related questions discussion list?

[Stoyan Damov]

Hi there,

Is there a dedicated list for developers who have paid apps in Android
Market? It would be best if that list has at least 1 *Google* (not
Android, i.e. I don't need it to be technically savvy) employee able
to give sensible answers to WTF questions related to the Market and
paid apps?

Thanks,
Stoyan

[android-developers] Re: Paid apps related questions discussion list?

[Stoyan Damov]

OK, I'll start here then...

1. Where are my apps? I released 2 apps yesterday, 1 free (limited,
lite, demo, whatever you call it), and 1 paid. Yesterday both were in
Market. I had a few sales, and about 1500 downloads of the free app.
I talked to Jay @ cyrket.com and he said he can't see the games on his
device and that I probably seem them because the Market client in my
G1 cached it. Guys, do you see Droid Breakout or Droid Breakout
Lite on his phone (it's important that I get answers from those of
you who haven't downloaded it ever)?

2. Can someone @ Google fix the problem w/ cancels. I had 7 cancels,
all with this message:

You cancelled this order.
Reason: Other (describe below)
Message sent to customer: Refund requested from phone.

Well, where's the describe below message? The customers could have
said something valuable like:

- I thought I was buying a different kind game, sorry
- The game is unstable or slow, etc.
- I played enough for the 24 hours FREE period, thanks Google

3. The Developer Console is OFF by at least 1 hour. I don't understand
how caching works, but Market is not a search engine - we need kind of
real-time or reasonably delayed updates. I have to track both via the
Google checkout account and via the Developer Console to understand
what's happening.

4. Ratings and comments - this is the WORST designed feature I've
ever seen in software. EVER.
Users rate the software for the bad experience with Market, e.g. I've got:

Wudlnt install 4 me - 1 star
Cant download - 1 start
etc., etc.
Is this *my* software's fault?

Re comments - where's the ability for us, developers to reply to
comments? I tried modifying my own comment on the game, keeping it for
about 30-40 minutes, then altering it again to answer another user.

I have even more and more questions, but these above are real
showstoppers. Especially cancels w/o a reason and w/o the ability to
dispute a cancel.

If I don't get answer soon I don't have anything else to do but pull
off the apps because apparently 1) (missing apps) prevents me from
selling the game and I haven't wasted months for nothing.

Cheers

[android-developers] Think twice before turning on the Copy Protection option! -- there's a serious bug in Market

[focuser]

Hi fellow developers,

Recently there is a new option Copy Protection in Android Market
Developer Console.  We thought that was a nice protection on us and
turned it on.  Then here comes the impact: our app was no longer
listed  downloadable on ADP,  and *MUCH WORSE*, those who can
download have experienced severe force closes when the app starts!  We
have confirmed this by just downloadingrunning the app before and
after that option is turned on.

I have no idea what mechanism Google uses to implement that option,
but it seems they are changing the apk -- the application size is
larger when the option is on.

Seen from the exception trace, it seems it's related to an issue that
I reported before: 
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/785b04063a7bbd32
It seems the resource is screwed up.  Basically findViewById returns a
wrong thing, and in turn you get either NullPointerException or
ClassCastException.  We are still not able to use an ant script to
automate the buildsign process, which triggers the bug and gives you
a corrupted apk.  However, exporting an unsigned apk using Eclipse and
signing it manually works with no problem.

What a bug,... we have lost 5000+ users due to this.  Google should
have tested more carefully it before making it available.

Hope this is helpful

[android-developers] Re: Can't see comments in my app?

[snctln]

Where are you trying to view the comments?

The developer console has never allowed developers to see comments.

You should be able to see them from the market on your device.

If you don't have a device then you can usually see the last dozen or
so comments by visiting cyrket.com, cyrket doesn't seem to have all of
the paid apps listed, I am not sure why, my own personal theory is
that it is not listing the protected apps.

I realize you are frustrated, and that is understandable under the
circumstances. However, at this point, we don't know much. We know in this
one specific instance for this one specific app we get this one specific
condition. What we need is a way to reproduce this problem on demand for
an open source app, so we can get a better feel for what is going on. Only
when we know where the problem lies will we know truly who is to blame.

Any more information you can provide, such as answers to the preceding

[android-developers] Re: Paid applications - are they downloadable now? By Al Sutton

[snctln]

The developers console has always been extremely slow to update, some
days it would update about every 4 hours, and some days it would only
update every 12 hours.

I too noticed that only some apps were showing up on cyrket, my
personal theory on that is that maybe the protected apps are not
showing.

I have 3 paid apps up on the market right now, (it's annoying that I
can't see them because I have an ADP1 but hopefully Google fixes that
really soon)  I have had well over a dozen purchases, and am seeing
about a 20% return rate.  About half of the returns are due to the
users credit cards declining the sale.  I have been receiving
purchases all morning so it looks like any paid apps market outages
are limited in nature.

It would be nice if Google decided to implement some of stoyans
suggestions from the other thread, but I doubt google is going to do
much of anything in the near future.

 Does anyone show more than a dozen purchases?

[android-developers] Re: Loading a large list of contacts into a ListAdapter - making it responsive

[Billy Bob]

Hi Romain,

   To follow up on this question, if the list is really big, so big that 
even 'what's needed to fill the screen with data' takes enougth time to 
generate a timeout, what to do?

   I guess it could be populated by chunks, but it gets nasty I think...

 You have to do the query in a background thread yourself. ListActivity
 doesn't do any heavy work, only what's needed to fill the screen with
 data.

 Since these are separate Content URIs, I have two separate cursors and

 The problem is that I have more than a thousand records for
 CONTENT_EMAIL_URI, which were automatically loaded by GMail. The app
 becomes unresponsive and Android prompts to kill the app or wait.

 Is there a way to make the ListActivity content load in the
 background, like, by writing a custom implementation of
 android.widget.Adapter?

 Or is it more feasible to use a single cursor, by manually running the
 SQL query on the contacts tables?

 Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Think twice before turning on the Copy Protection option! -- there's a serious bug in Market

I think this is related to the restriction that an app with copy
protection on cannot be downloaded to an unlocked phone, i.e. ADP.  We
have seen that too before turning the option off.

OK, to clarify: If the ant script is used to sign the apk, it might
produce a corrupted apk, i.e. throwing ClassCastException or
NullPointerException at some point.  This seems not happening all the
time though.  However, if I export an unsigned apk using Eclipse and
sign it manually on the exactly same source code, everything is fine.
So we had to give up using the ant script.

The only fancy thing we do in the build script is to copy an xml
that has the release Google Maps api key into res/values.  But I think
this should have no impact since the copy happens before compilation
and the R.java will be regenerated by the build script:


===
target name=copy-release-files
copy file=${build.resources}/api-keys-release.xml tofile=$
{resource-dir}/values/api-keys.xml overwrite=true/
/target

target name=release depends=copy-release-files, dex, package-
res
===

===
Buildfile: build.xml

copy-release-files:
 [copy] Copying 1 file to /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/res/
values

dirs:
 [echo] Creating output directories if needed...
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build/
classes

resource-src:
 [echo] Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the resources...
 [exec] (skipping hidden file 'res/drawable/.DS_Store')
  ...
===

I'm not saying this is the same issue as the copy protection.  Just
they look very related.

 3. Do you have a reproducible scenario you can publish with code? Or does
 the phenomenon only occur with this one app?

We have not put any effort to reproduce the problem in other code base
since we can still export and sign the apk manually without any
problems.  We will submit the code if we find a way to reproduce it.

[android-developers] onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState are not properly called

[flix]

Hello,

in my application, I sometimes start other activities which use the
Theme.Dialog style the to show them like dialogs, as recommended in
the FAQ of the Android documentation. And up to now I overrided the
onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState methods in my activity
to store / restore my Activity's state when configuration changes
occur, as shown in the example below.

Now I found out that there is a problem with that:
* When the other activity (ActivityB in my example) is started,
ActivityA's onSaveInstanceState is called (why?).
* While changing the screen orientation when ActivityB is shown in the
foreground and ActivityA in the background, onSaveInstanceState and
onRestoreInstanceState are not called for ActivityA.

In my example, this means that the content of the textbox of ActivityA
is properly restored when ActivityB is shown in the foreground only on
the first screen orientation change, but not when changing the
orientation for a second time.

Using the savedInstanceState bundle I get in my onCreate method
instead of using onRestoreInstanceState does not solve the problem for
me, because the stored values in the bundle get lost in the scenario I
described above.

What is wrong with the approach I chose?

--

package test.activitysave;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class ActivityA extends Activity {
  private EditText txbTest;

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

txbTest = new EditText(this);
layout.addView(txbTest,
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText(Start activity...);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class);
ActivityA.this.startActivity(intent);
  }
});
layout.addView(button,
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

setContentView(layout);
  }

  @Override
  protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
this.txbTest.setText(savedInstanceState.getCharSequence
(ENTERED_TEXT));
  }

  @Override
  protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putCharSequence(ENTERED_TEXT, this.txbTest.getText());
  }
}

managed to view Arabic fonts by using the appends folder and usint
TextView tv.setTypeface(typeface).

The problem is that menus require just de id number or the
Charsequence, and I cannot use tv.setTypeface since I do not have a
way of accesing to its inner TextView.

Do you know any way to do that?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Paid apps related questions discussion list?

[bwilliam...@gmail.com]

One more data point for the copy protection concerns.
I had my paid app using copy protection, and apparently some people
were able to find it for awhile - I got two downloads and an email
from AdMob asking me to advertise my paid app with them.  I, however,
could not see my app on my ADP1.  While I scurried about the internets
trying to find out why, I check my phone hopefully every few minutes,
and, oddly enough, an hour later I could see my app.

I went to sleep and checked the market again 10 hours later, and my
app was gone again.  I saw lots of complaints about copy protection
and turned it off.  I just checked my phone now, 10 minutes after
turning off copy protection, and I can see my paid app in the market
again.

[android-developers] Re: Loading a large list of contacts into a ListAdapter - making it responsive

[Romain Guy]

   To follow up on this question, if the list is really big, so big that
 even 'what's needed to fill the screen with data' takes enougth time to
 generate a timeout, what to do?

There is no way that a properly written adapter would timeout to fill
the screen. The timeout is set to *5 seconds.* You are doing something
very wrong in your app and you should profile it to see what's going
on.


   I guess it could be populated by chunks, but it gets nasty I think...

 You have to do the query in a background thread yourself. ListActivity
 doesn't do any heavy work, only what's needed to fill the screen with
 data.

 Hi,
 I need to load Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI and

 Since these are separate Content URIs, I have two separate cursors and
 can't construct a SimpleCursorAdapter for use in the ListActivity.

 The problem is that I have more than a thousand records for
 CONTENT_EMAIL_URI, which were automatically loaded by GMail. The app
 becomes unresponsive and Android prompts to kill the app or wait.

 Is there a way to make the ListActivity content load in the
 background, like, by writing a custom implementation of
 android.widget.Adapter?

 Or is it more feasible to use a single cursor, by manually running the
 SQL query on the contacts tables?

 Thanks!

You get to see the customer's full name and postal address. Checkout
uses an e-mail forwarding system so that the address you see is
something like jon-c9jd94wj...@checkout.google.com and when you send
mail to that it gets forwarded to the customer. So far I've had a
couple of support requests and I was able to find the user easily by
searching for their name in the Checkout records.

 waste some more brain cycles on other stuff like hunting application

Tweaking process/thread priorities may be sufficient if you're not too

Ant and Eclipse use mostly the same code to generate the apk, so I'm a

 2. If you aren't able to do #1, how do you know it triggers the bug and

 OK, to clarify: If the ant script is used to sign the apk, it might
 produce a corrupted apk, i.e. throwing ClassCastException or
 NullPointerException at some point.  This seems not happening all the
 time though.  However, if I export an unsigned apk using Eclipse and
 sign it manually on the exactly same source code, everything is fine.
 So we had to give up using the ant script.

 The only fancy thing we do in the build script is to copy an xml
 that has the release Google Maps api key into res/values.  But I think
 this should have no impact since the copy happens before compilation
 and the R.java will be regenerated by the build script:


 ===
target name=copy-release-files
copy file=${build.resources}/api-keys-release.xml tofile=$
 {resource-dir}/values/api-keys.xml overwrite=true/
/target

target name=release depends=copy-release-files, dex, package-
 res
 ===

 ===
 Buildfile: build.xml

 copy-release-files:
 [copy] Copying 1 file to /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/res/
 values

 dirs:
 [echo] Creating output directories if needed...
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build
[mkdir] Created dir: /workspaces/android-ws/theProject/bin-build/
 classes

 resource-src:
 [echo] Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the resources...
 [exec] (skipping hidden file 'res/drawable/.DS_Store')
  ...
 ===

 I'm not saying this is the same issue as the copy protection.  Just
 they look very related.

 3. Do you have a reproducible scenario you can publish with code? Or does
 the phenomenon only occur with this one app?

 We have not put any effort to reproduce the problem in other code base
 since we can still export and sign the apk manually without any
 problems.  We will submit the code if we find a way to reproduce it.

On top of that, I just go an e-mail saying:

Well, according to http://www.3g4g.co.uk/Tutorial/ZG/zg_pdp it is not
the same. Multiple APN means that you can use different connections at
the same time. Whereas multiple PDP contexts means that you can use
the same connection with different configurations (e.g. QoS).

 Yes, it is a public server. It's working for me. Perhaps it's a
 geographic problem. Anyway, here's what the page says:

 Support for multiple APNs - This feature will enable the different
 applications to connect to different Access Point Nodes (APNs). For
 example, a web browser can connect to an Internet APN connection while
 the MMS can connect to a separate MMS APN.

 That's listed under the section for Q4 2008, so obviously that's

[android-developers] remote service process persists (i.e. won't disappear from process table)

[Alex B]

Hello service developers!

At a certain point in my program, when I'm completely done with my
service, my activity executes unbindService() and stopService() -- yet
the process persists. I can tell that it persists because I run ps
in adb -e shell:

USER PID   PPID  VSIZE RSS   WCHANPC NAME
app_19   2041  23108360 16128  afe0c534 S
com.example.helloactivity
app_19   2049  2395732 13336  afe0c534 S
com.example.helloactivity:remote

Thanks to adb logcat, I can show you the sequence of events:

ACTIVITY: context.unbindService(serviceConnection);

SERVICE: onUnbind();

ACTIVITY: stopService(serviceIntent);  returns true!

SERVICE: onDestroy();

First, my activity calls unbindService(serviceConnection). According
to the documentation, unbindService() will Disconnect from an
application service. You will no longer receive calls as the service
is restarted, and the service is now allowed to stop at any time. So
that is fine, and it is happening.

Appropriately, we see the onUnbind() call happen on the service side.
According to the documentation, onUnbind() is called when all clients
have disconnected from a particular interface published by the
service. So this confirms the correct service connection is being
passed, and that the service is responding accordingly.

Next, my activity calls stopService(serviceIntent), and returns true.
According to the documentation, stopService() does the following: If
there is a service matching the given Intent that is already running,
then it is stopped and true is returned; else false is returned.
Again, this is happening and returning true.

In response, the service's onDestroy() method is called. According to
the documentation, onDestroy() is Called by the system to notify a
Service that it is no longer used and is being removed. The service
should clean up any resources it holds (threads, registered receivers,
etc) at this point. Upon return, there will be no more calls in to
this Service object and it is effectively dead.

At this point I expect the process to disappear from the process
table. Yet it remains indefinitely. But why?

Also, the process is so persistent that I can bind to it again, and I
see that it is the same exact process responding because the PID
(process ID) is the same!

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Also, can anyone out there use ps to see if their process is still
there when you think it should be gone?

Thanks a lot!

[android-developers] TERRIBLE BUG IN MARKET APPLICATION (was Re: Paid apps related questions discussion list?)

[Stoyan Damov]

I am SICK AND TIRED of typing and pasting the SAME thing OVER and OVER
again today - if you have any issues with the application after an
update, please re-install it.

Could someone at Google FINALLY do something about it? It's been
dozens of users today. I can only guess when paid apps-enabled Market
app spreads to all users.
The issues are (for the Nth time): hanging download, hanging install,
Force close dialog at startup.
FWIW it doesn't matter if the application is free or paid (had issues
with both), or is protected or not (had issues with both).

[Stoyan Damov]

That is, while I care about bad ratings (people are giving 1 star when
they have any of the problems in my previous post) I care more about
frustrated users CANCELLING their orders because of these issues. I
was JUST about to have 1 cancel because of the update problems (in
this case the Force Close dialog problem).

Google, please fix the Market problems. I got 100 e-mails today about
Market payment and download problems. Please support your products!

[android-developers] Re: When will Android support Multiple PDP?

[David Hu]

Any more on Android?

On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 6:53 AM, Tote tot...@gmail.com wrote:


 Well, according to http://www.3g4g.co.uk/Tutorial/ZG/zg_pdp it is not
 the same. Multiple APN means that you can use different connections at
 the same time. Whereas multiple PDP contexts means that you can use
 the same connection with different configurations (e.g. QoS).

 I found a pseudo-workaround that uses getResources().getConfiguration

[android-developers] Why my gallery on real device behave so oddly?

[max]

Hi All,

I play with android on my real device.

1. Given there is six icons in the gallery sceen, no matter what icon
I click, it always show me the first icon image.

2. On the image display, the left and right side has a TRIANGLE , on
emulator, for a pull-click, it can response to next/previous image,
however on my device , it doesn't work. Please note, My touch screen
is working .But if I press DOWN button in the keyboard, it can move
to next image.

3. When display to last image, keyboard UP can not move to previous
image, while in emulator, it can do like that.


I feel very puzzled, is there any environment or property is not set,
or something else error happened?

also.

I feel very puzzled, is there any environment or property is not set,

[android-developers] Eclipse and Junit

[Ilan]

Hi,

I've tried to setup eclipse to run junit after reading the following
instructions 
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/troubleshooting.html#addjunit.
My testrunner is setup in a different project then the classes I'm
testing.

When I'm executing the test I'm getting NoClassDefFoundError when I'm
trying to call any Android class. So I tried to run the suite from the
tested project which didn't help.

Am I missing something, of is JUnit isn't really working directly from
Eclipse using the Android plugin?

[android-developers] Why can't my update be installed by users?

[Yan Shi]

I did an app called Hello Yahoo and today I made an update. But
users said it can't be installed because the package is not signed
correctly. And after that the old version can't even be uninstalled
because the device thinks it is uninstalled already.. I never
experience that, but it is reported by many users.

I do use a different keystore to sign it with the update. Is this the
case?  How can I fix this?
