[android-developers] Re: MenuItems and Typefaces
I am using the arabic font at the /assets/fonts folder and then used the locale of ctx.getResources().configuration().locale to change the locale to the desired ones (having previously added the configuration settings uses-permition at the xml manifest), and it works. It changes to the arabic language. The next step is to use arabic fonts, for that y use ctx.getAssetsManager(), and there I specify the font to the TextView in the way tv.setTypeface so that arabic letters are readable, and I used a reshaper (capital letters don't work properly when reshaping, but the rest works fine like this). The only thing is, Menus and Titles in Dialogs use textviews (i suppose that), but you can not access to the textview and set a typeface. In dialogs you have the option of setting a view, so you can define your own textview so it is no problem, but I do not know how to do that in the Menu object.

There is a way to do that. You have to put an arabic font as a part of your program and do some sort of reshaper or make it viewable as images. Otherwise no one will be able to see what your application prints on screen. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The output of dexdump will show all classes, and all methods in each class; if this doesn't match up with what you have in your sources, then something is getting lost along the way. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Install .odex + .apk
You should not mess with .odex files, they are essentially device-specific optimized versions of your classes.dex that are generated by the installer for you to speed up application startup and runtime. The exact format of .odex files is likely to change overtime for a variety of reasons and you should not try to move them from one device to another, especially if they run different versions of the platform. It would be better if you could tell us which kind of errors you're seeing so that we can help you resolve them.

[android-developers] Checking user activity / whether the screen is locked.
Hi, For one reason or another, my last post didn't show up in the Discussions-list, so here's a repost (sorry): I'm writing a presence agent application for Android (that checks if you are 'available' or 'away'). For this I would like to check any activity on the phone. The easiest way to do this would be to check whether the screen is locked. Is there any way to do this? Alternatively, is there a way to check if the user is 'using' the screen or touching any keys without having to be in the activity of this app (so I can check this from within my service when the user is using other apps).

[android-developers] Re: Does Android support APDUConnection as known from JSR 177?
I don't know but JSR 177 seems to be a J2ME-related JSR. Android has (in theory) a JCE-based API that does what JSR 177 does and more. The problem is really that there is no link between the JCE and the SIM if that's what you are looking for. Personally I think using the SIM with JSR 177 is a bad idea, SIM TK solutions are the only generally available.

[android-developers] Re: Memory leak in BitmapFactory/Gallery?
Hi, on a regular JVM you can generate a dump in the very moment the first OOM occurs (starting it with the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option), which is very useful. From your previous posts I have deduced that's impossible with Dalvik... am I right? are you considering this feature? Thanks, Jose Luis.

However, it seems impossible (prohibited) to access that folder on the phone to retrieve the generated profiling results? So can this only be used by people who flash their own phones with a development build, or did I overlook something (I did not dig for long)? 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 pid 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. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Local service: how to tell activity when done?
Hi, If you create the BroadcastReceiver as an inner class, you do have access in the broadcastreceiver to anything in your activity. So in you activity, do something like: /** * Receive messages from our Service */ private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String data = intent.getStringExtra(testdata); iAmAMethodOfTheContainingActivity(data); } }; protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); // register as a BroadcastReceiver for Intent action from our Service registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter (MyService.SOME_ACTION)); } public void iAmAMethodOfTheContainingActivity(String data) { System.out.println(Received: + data); } And in your service, something like: Intent intent = new Intent(SOME_ACTION); intent.putExtra(testdata, Some result); sendBroadcast(intent); Note that communication in the other direction (calling the service from the activity) can be done in a similar way, using startService from the activity, and passing the arguments through the Intent. hth, Wouter On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Marius Shekov mshe...@gmx.de wrote: Hey Wouter, Thanks for your reply. However, I am not really able to understand what you mean with If you then use a BroadcastReceiver IN the calling activities. The only thing I know is how to create (separate) BroadcastReceivers (they are in a separate .java file, a separate class, which must be this way, because in Java you can only use extends for one class, there's no multiple inheritance) and how to register them (using the xml file for example) and how to receive intents with them. However, once I have the intent in the broadcast receivers onReceive() method, it's just as useless as I do not know how to inform my activity about that. Something like context.startActivity(i) in onReceive() will not work, unless I set i.setFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) which I do absolutely not want (I want to inform an already existing activity and bring its stack to the front).

A set of preferences (set differently in the two versions) determine whether the app behaves as a trial or as a full app. In order to create two apk's out of this, I put all the code into com.appcore.* packages. I then create com.appfull and com.apptrial packages and place the respective android manifest files there. I make the necessary changes to the manifest to make all the relative package names in the manifest absolute. Now when I build say appfull in eclipse, the issue I have is that R.java gets generated into com.appfull, and all the classes in com.appcore.* are unable to refer to R.layout objects because R is no longer in the same package structure as themselves. I tried physically moving the generated R.java into com.appcore but didnt have any success with that, plus thats not an elegant solution anyway. The other issue is how do I get com.appfull to invoke/refer-to com.appcore so that when I build, it will include both com.appfull and com.appcore in the apk. If you can share a more complete how-to on the appcore/appfull/applite scheme you are using (or post the code somewhere), that would be very helpful.

To build applite, I use a Makefile -- I tried ant, but it's just not as flexible as make. I got all that to work, and then I decided to make my program open-source so all that was a waste of time :-) On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 10:50 AM, jarkman jark...@gmail.com wrote: We're thinking about building light and paid versions of our app for the Market. But I am not clear what we need to do, or how to do it. (1) Do we definitely need the two versions to have different package names for the two builds ? It seems logical to do it that way, but I have not found a clear answer from Google to that question. Though I have found several people asking the same question. (2) Is there any support in Eclipse for building two similar apps with different package names from the same java and xml files ? In most of the IDEs I've used, it is a doddle to define multiple build targets for one project, but none of those mechanisms seem to be present here. And, the package name is embedded in every java file, as well as in many places in the manifest, leaving me without a tidy way to build to alternate package names. Is there a tidy way to build multiple version ? Or are we really going to end up copying the whole codebase and search-and-replacing the package name ?

[android-developers] (OT) Is the combination of Android Market and Google Checkout a joke?
Hi all, I've got a customer who placed orders on 19th (Thursday) @ 9:46 PM PST, and he is still able to cancel his order (there's no green circle confirming the charge). I guess it's the *48* hours refund period + the fact that Google Checkout could care less about weekends and holidays. So if I'm a customer, I could buy, say[1], a game on Friday, play all weekend and return it on Monday. Google has got to be joking. [1] Arcade games are more vulnerable to this WTF because you can literally play the entire game in 1 weekend unless it's *very* hard. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You don't need the whole AWS kit to do AWS things. You can use the HTTPClient libraries on the phone and a small amount of coding to write the stuff yourself. The AWS stuff we use in AndAppStore was written in-house and is less than 1500 lines and handles uploads, listing buckets, and deletions in S3 and distribution through CloudFront.

Well, you tried converting the JARs directly, which is what gave you your error. The point of recompiling from source is to avoid converting the JARs directly. Case in point: the stock Beanshell JAR (www.beanshell.org) does not work on Android, because (I think) it was compiled with Java 1.4.2, and we need Java 1.5+.

JP, The mobile market is a very different place now to what it was when some of these guys started work on their projects. With paid apps now out the door I expect many to be evaluating the time they spent and the return their getting, and I'm interested to see what happens. Android may have provided some innovation, but the other platforms are fighting back. Nokia have their Ovi store which will list open source apps, BlackBerry now have an SDK thats an Eclipse plugin and their store has been taking submissions since the end of last month, and Windows Mobile 6.5 is around the corner and MS have confirmed Windows Marketplace will stock mobile apps. All three of these vendors already have millions of users and years of experience working in and with Mobile users, so the Android proposition may not be as attractive to them as it once was, especially given the way Google are currently handling feature roll-outs and general developer relations.

[android-developers] Re: How to start the BroadcastReceiver
In your code, you're calling registerReceiver() from your onClick(), meaning that from then on, your receiver will respond to broadcasts of the intent in question. You're never actually broadcasting that intent though. You probably want to call registerReceiver() from your onCreate(), and then send the broadcast in onClick(). You might also want to think about using a Handler instead.

[android-developers] Re: (OT) Is the combination of Android Market and Google Checkout a joke?
So design games with replay value. Randomize things, periodically release downloadable levels, whatever. In my opinion, this is a completely bogus statement for most games/ applications developed on this platform (minus organizations such as EA Sports, etc.). The G1 is not a PS3. If I purchase an application in the $1-$4 range I do not expect it to have the same replay value as Grand Theft Auto. Purchases at this dollar value are impulse buys, similar to the entertainment magazines at the grocery store checkout. Once I finish my US Weekly within an hour, can I get a refund? How about if I bring it home, read it for 47 hours, then can I get a refund. How about if I just wanted to steal articles from the magazine so i can develop my own magazine, then can I get a refund? This whole policy is ridiculous, and I don't know why I continue to care/post as it is obvious Google doesn't care...

The answer can't be so write a different type of application.

However, I am not really able to understand what you mean with If you then use a BroadcastReceiver IN the calling activities. The only thing I know is how to create (separate) BroadcastReceivers (they are in a separate .java file, a separate class, which must be this way, because in Java you can only use extends for one class, there's no multiple inheritance) and how to register them (using the xml file for example) and how to receive intents with them. However, once I have the intent in the broadcast receivers onReceive() method, it's just as useless as I do not know how to inform my activity about that. Something like context.startActivity(i) in onReceive() will not work, unless I set i.setFlags(FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK) which I do absolutely not want (I want to inform an already existing activity and bring its stack to the front).

[android-developers] Re: Paid Download Stats?
Thanks for the info Stoyan. One theory I have is this: Those of us that had Copy Protection on at initial release missed the ever critical new app exposure. I don't have a phone, so I have been watching cyrket.com. I noticed that my app wasn't showing there at all when initially released. As soon as I turned off Copy Protection, it immediately showed up on cyrket.com at the top of Newest Content. A few minutes later, it was no longer there. I searched for it and found it. I assumed that it used the original release date to determine where it belongs in the lists sorted by date (including Newest Content). Of course, when it was originally released, it wasn't showing because of the Copy Protection problem.

[android-developers] ADP1 with 1.1 holiday firmware can see paid apps only if SIM card is plugged - BUG or not ?
Hi, I have just updated to 1.1 firmware for my ADP1 (see my post on android-discuss) and I found something very strange related to the Android Market. As far as I can see Market is listing paid apps only and only if a SIM card is plugged into my ADP1. As soon as I start with no SIM card, Market does not see the paid apps any more (I mean: when re-starting with re-flashing 1.1 with wipe out and then going to Market). More strangely, if I plug a SIM card and then use Market on both sections (Applications and Games) then unplug the SIM card and use Wifi, then I can still can see the paid apps... Is is a bug / feature ? I look forward to your comments/feedback. Fabrice --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Getting favicons in WebView
Hi all, I've been desperately trying to get favicons from web pages loaded in a WebView, even for pages that have a link rel=icon/ Things I've tried : - WebViewClient.onPageStarted() -- the icon parameter is always null - WebChromeClient.onReceivedIcon() -- never called - WebIconDatabase.requestIconForPageUrl() -- the listener is never called I looked at the Browser source code and couldn't find anything else other than the above. I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious... Thanks for any hint! BTW, what is the exact purpose of WebIconDatabase? Is it a special cache for favicons? How is it supposed to be used?

[android-developers] API for validating app purchases
Having read a few threads about how users that have root access and can copy the .apk after installing the app, ask for a refund and install the app again, it occurred to me it would be nice to have an API that connects to the Market and validates if the current user has purchased the app. It should be up to the developer to decide how often to check, what to do if the query to the Market fails due to connection issues, etc. It could be part of the current PackageManager. Example: boolean hasUserPurchasedPackage(String PackageName); Regards, Alejandro --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I can't get my emulator to play the sound of the TTS.

The vOICe silently detects if the user hasTTS1.2 installed, and will not push theTTSlibrary download upon the user with a popup dialog (displayInstallMessage is false). It just uses theTTSlibrary if it is present (it too can be installed from the Market). On the G1, one can change focus without clicking by using the trackball, and focus changes and clicked items are spoken separately. Blind users will, for lack of a system wide screen reader, still need assistance with software installation and the creation of keyboard shortcuts via Applications - Quick launch. Of course, speed performance on the G1 is still quite sluggish for lack of a JIT compiler or equivalent, but other than that it is not too bad.

[android-developers] Google G2 / HTC Magic for developers?
Hi, I've seen the unlocked G1 offer for developers (named Android Dev Phone 1, instead of G1): http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html How do I order the HTC Magic (G2) through this program? Also, what are the warranty terms for the developer handset - does a European buyer get a Europe-wide warranty, or is it a worldwide warranty? How does the HTC network of repair centers compare to other vendors, e.g. Nokia? Or can developers have their Android Dev Phone 1 or 2 repaired by the same network who retails the handset? E.g. will a T-Mobile UK store accept an Android Dev Phone 1 for repair? Has anyone found other phones suitable for development? I saw a post about OEM Chinese clone handsets on Slashdot, but haven't been able to find any devices: http://mobile.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/29/1710220 Regards, Daniel --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Please Read! Advice needed!
Ok this is gonna be the most awkward post I've ever put anywhere but I need some help or I'm going to probably give up on this dream. I know that its unfair to ask this question because I could just do this on my own but I feel so excited about this that I need advice now or I'm not gonna get any sleep for the next few days! I am not a developer. I know what is required to make an application for cell phones like the g1 but in all honesty I am frightened to try this on my own because my ambition is far greater than I could possibly accomplish anytime soon on my own. I want to make a game for the g1, and possibly other cell phones in the future. I have no skills at the moment needed to accomplish this but I have every possible facet of the idea written down to accomplish a great and successful but most importantly FUN game. I am sure that If i do enough learning and research I can create this on my own but frankly I think this idea deserves professional work to fully realize its potential and not a first time programmer such as myself. I need advice on how to get the ball rolling on this idea for instance, where could I look for help on finding a great programmer, what advice do you have for a small team with LOW income, how can I avoid getting screwed. Please believe me I know people have to risk a lot to win a lot which is fine but i don't want to risk losing my ideas to a thief or doing something wrong just because I was afraid to ask for help. I just hate the fact that if you are great at something or have an idea, you have to learn a hundred other things just to get what you love available to the public. I wish to have the opportunity to see my ideas become reality and yes maybe have an easier and better lifestyle for my family and friends but is that too much to ask today? To have an idea you believe could get you away from your stress but to be even more stressed because you can't get your ideas to become reality is for me the worst thing that could happen to someone. I want to avoid this so please share anything you can to help or if you want to just tell me how hopeless I am. I just have to try because I am tired of not trusting. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Building multiple app versions for the Market
I use eclipse to build apptrial, and then use 'make' to build appcore (You could use 'ant' as well). When using make, it's more flexible and I can force the R class to be generated in the appcore package. On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 6:52 AM, Jay-andro jayan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mattaku (or anyone else who can help) I am trying a similar approach. All my code (trial and full) is in a single codebase. A set of preferences (set differently in the two versions) determine whether the app behaves as a trial or as a full app. In order to create two apk's out of this, I put all the code into com.appcore.* packages. I then create com.appfull and com.apptrial packages and place the respective android manifest files there. I make the necessary changes to the manifest to make all the relative package names in the manifest absolute. Now when I build say appfull in eclipse, the issue I have is that R.java gets generated into com.appfull, and all the classes in com.appcore.* are unable to refer to R.layout objects because R is no longer in the same package structure as themselves. I tried physically moving the generated R.java into com.appcore but didnt have any success with that, plus thats not an elegant solution anyway. The other issue is how do I get com.appfull to invoke/refer-to com.appcore so that when I build, it will include both com.appfull and com.appcore in the apk. If you can share a more complete how-to on the appcore/appfull/applite scheme you are using (or post the code somewhere), that would be very helpful.

Certainly these are good strategies, but not suited to every kind of game; seeing that type of game disappear from the market is not a forward-thinking solution. Some people WANT these simple little games. If people want the games they will not return them, right? And how hard is it to, I don't know, mirror the normal game board layout occasionally, or vary the number and location of powerups, add some gameplay configuration options, or whatever? Anything to make the gameplay different enough that it's still interesting several days later. I think the return policy has both good and bad aspects, but is mostly a win for everyone but developers wanting money for something lame. But it needs to be paired with a working checkout system, copy protection, etc. which so far Google has failed to provide.

[android-developers] Re: Current Percentage of Refunds on Android Market?
For me, maker of The Gube, a $0.99 app, the cancellation rate is about 33%. It has been hovering between 25% and 35%. But my app has been in the market for only a few days. So, i don't know how reliable this statistic is. :-) On Feb 22, 8:04 pm, Shane Isbell shane.isb...@gmail.com wrote: What kind of current percentage of refunds are developers typically seeing on the market?

[android-developers] Re: Create graphic interfaces dinamically
The LayoutInflator docs ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html) are very explicitly saying this is not possible. You could possibly do something by getting 'install' permissions for your app, and installing additional .apk files containing extra layouts. I've just tried, and instantiating a layout from an already installed .apk seems to work, as long as you refer to the fully qualified classname for the 'R' class you're refering to. Or you could parse the files yourself, of course, and built the UI in your own code. Not very nice, but doable if the layout elements used can be limited.

The main difference is that I need to be able to create different note formats. Is possible to obtain an xml file from the web and use it in the creation of an android interface? I have researched about the Metawidget library that is a very useful tool for android but I haven't been able to create interfaces dynamically. Does any one knows how this can be done?
