[android-developers] Re: microSD problems
A pop and re-insert fixed the problem for me when my microSD "dissapeared" . The 'phone is generally stable, and the microSD problem seems to be like the Xbox 360 red ring of death, if you search for it you'll see lots of complaints, but most users don't experience the problem. In terms of holding off your interest, that's got to be a personal (or business) choice, but I wouldn't make it based on the hardware because other devices are coming out (The HTC-Magic on Vodafone is due out in a few weeks), so I'd suggest you focus more on your business model and how Android can support it than whether or not the first consumer device can hold up to the work.

[android-developers] Re: manipulating markets popularity! - why should i develop app for android
Have you confirmed yourself on a G1 that after multiple 'phone resets and comments/ratings they all stay in the market for more than 48 hours? I'd be surprised if there wasn't a filtering mechanism which looked for multiple comments/ratings from the same 'phone which ran (possibly as a daily batch job). Al.

Justin, This group isn't run just for your benefit and so I'm not sure why you think you should be the one to decide what is and isn't on-topic. In the 2 days you've been part of the group I've seen two people tell you your posts are not welcomed, so maybe you should take the hint, sit back, and use the delete button instead of the reply button to topics you don't want to read. As I said before, the Google engineers speak up when we're straying from the beaten path, and those requests are respected, but I'm afraid you haven't earned the respect we show them and so I would suggest you accept that fact that this list isn't run the way you think it should be.

[android-developers] Re: onLocationChanged does not get called??
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong,
I checked the status in onStatusChanged. It shows
TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE for my GPS.
Makes sense since I'm indoor. But if I'm indoor, I want it to change
the provider to network.
So here's how I'm doing it.
1) When I try to location myself, I will use GPS as my provider.
2) if GPS signal is available, onLocationChanged will be called, and
that's done!
3) if onLocationChanged is not called, but onStatusChanged is called,
I check the status or my provider
4) if status of my GPS provider showed in onStatusChanged is
TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE, then I'll change my provider to network
5) to change my provider from GPS to NETWORK, I add the following line
inside onStatusChanged
location.removeUpdates(locationListener)
location.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,0 ,
100.0f,locationListener);
This seems to be working for me now.. finally.
But I'm wondering if this is the best way to do it. Feels a bit hacky

[android-developers] onLocationChanged does not get called??
Hi,
I have been struggling to get onLocationChanged called, but I'm not
sure it does not.
Here're my code
criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW);
criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
criteria.setBearingRequired(false);
criteria.setSpeedRequired(false);
criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
String locationContext = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE;
locationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService
(locationContext);
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria,
true);
Location location =
locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,0 ,
100.0f,locationListener);
and . in the methods below, only onStatusChanged is being called,
and not onLocationChanged
private final LocationListener locationListener = new
LocationListener(){
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
Log.d("onLocationChanged","update now");
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
Log.d("onProviderDisabled",provider.toString());
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider){
Log.d("onProviderEnabled",provider.toString());
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle
extras){
Log.d("Provider status changed", provider.toString());
}
};
here are permissions from my manifest
and I missing something ?
I have tried to add this line below requestLocationUpdate
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
because I thought this might get me the last location just requested
from the requestLocationUpdate in the line before it, but it does not
help to retrieve the current location. It still retrieves the previous
location

[android-developers] Re: How android.view.View.invalidate(int l, int t, int r, int b) make only the dirty area redrawn?
This just sets the clip bounds. You will receive an onDraw(Canvas) call as usual and everything you draw outside of the clip bounds will be ignored. You can do ahead-of-time skips if you know you are performing intensive computations in onDraw() (which you should not be doing anyway) but it's most often not worth it.

I just got G1 phone and I think its awesome. The biggest weakness on this phone is vibration. Even I put G1 phone o my computer desk next to me. I cant feel a thing seriously but with my old Blackberry I can. I really need it badly since I am deaf. I found a funny app called Vibrator and vibration actually can last longer than the notification setup. I figure someone can help me setup fast and simple apps that allows us to tweak vibration to be stronger. I know Blackberry has range 1 to 10, let me decide what works best for me. How do I formally request Android Team or Google/TMO to look at it?

[android-developers] Call for entries: the Andrew Seybold Innovation Rally AppWar is on!
I wanted to call the attention of all Android developers to an event happening in conjunction with CTIA in Las Vegas later this month, with particular attention on the AppWar, a free competition for mobile developers: The Andrew Seybold Innovation Rally, offered for the first time this year as part of ANDREW SEYBOLD WIRELESS UNIVERSITY, offers an up-close look at how some of today’s most innovative thinkers are rallying to create and deploy new mobile services that extend their lead over the rest of the industry. This racing-themed program will provide a unique look into the future of blended services, data and applications. As a backdrop for these discussions, the program will highlight advances in electric car technology and a first look at a “digital dashboard” that fulfills the promise of proximity-based content. Innovation Rally speakers will include Rick Geremeth, Vice President of IT for Motorsports Authentics; Michael Kadie, CEO of Electric Car Kit SSI Racing; Mike Wehr, CEO of the Mobile Marketing Association; James Oyang, CEO of Pharos; Nagesh Challa, Chairman of Ecrio Inc.; and Sue Marek, Editor-in-Chief for Fierce Wireless. For a complete agenda for Andrew Seybold Innovation Rally and ANDREW SEYBOLD WIRELESS UNIVERSITY, please visit www.andrewseybold.com. “We’re looking for the most innovative mobile services applications from the most visionary developers, regardless of platform or network, to participate in our AppWar,” said Andrew Seybold. “In tough economic times, there can be a tendency to play it safe, stay with what works and minimize risk. We’ll be featuring developers who have put ‘the pedal to the metal’ to create groundbreaking applications that distance them from the rest of the field.” Finalists in the AppWar will give quick presentations of their applications and the audience will select three winners to experience the thrill of driving in a NASCAR-style stock car at any one of 20 historic raceways in the U.S., courtesy of the Richard Petty Driving Experience (www. 1800bepetty.com). For complete contest rules and submission guidelines, please visit www.andrewseybold.com. There is no cost for developers to enter the AppWar, but the deadline to enter is March 16, 2009. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

What I found out was that when the parser hit one of those characters between element tags, the characters function would be called again. so a value like the "dog" runs would render 5 calls: the " dog " runs my solution was to intialize a temporary string on the startelement call, append that string in the characters call, then assign it to the proper variable end the end element call. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with video playing
MPEG 4 is a family of encoding methods, of which H.264 is a video subset, also with a family of encoding methods. The first thing you need to do is determine what profile and level your second multimedia file contains. They you should find out what profile and level can be played by the H.264 codec. You will find your problem there. You certainly exceed the level that can be handled by the codec, and likely you exceed the encoding complexity as well. Mobile devices generally only handle baseline profiles at low levels with data rates limited by the EDGE class supported by the device radio and the carrier network. Exceed any one of these, and it is not going to work. Formats and data rates that you can play on your computer will NOT work on a mobile device.

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap Memory
I am drawing bitmaps left and right and I hit this issue where I create a bitmap in one section of my code and when I later try to draw on it using canvas, i get bitmap recycled. but I did not null if out, or call its recycle method. Description: I have a main Class that extends View that when first loads, initiates the main screen which loads/draws on bitmaps and no problem. I then added a key event that causes this screen to go away and load the next screen. The screen logic is encapsulated in a class that I already instantiated in the Main Class constructor and in my second screen its constructor is this code: staticBg = new BitmapDrawable(Bitmap.createBitmap(320, 240, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565)); staticGr = new Canvas( staticBg.getBitmap() ); at a later time, from my first screen when I push a button, i call my init() function that trys load screen two which does a draw to this bitmap and I get the following error: 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): java.lang.NullPointerException 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled(Canvas.java:890) 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.drawBitmap(Canvas.java:911) It is saying my bitmap is recycled BUT from what I understand that does not happened unless you explicitly call it or the garbage collector does when there are no more references to it BUT i obviously still have a reference to it.

[android-developers] SharedPreferences bug when writing strings with ampersands in them
Hi All, I've just tracked down a weird bug in our app where SharedPreferences were failing between power cycles of the phone. It turns out that one of the strings we were saving had an "&" in it. When I look at the xml that is being persisted I see that this is being encoded as && instead of just & This means that when you come to read the settings back you don't get any values at all.

[android-developers] What is the best way to sent/receive data from remote database such as mysql on android?
Hi , Guys , I'm try to sent/receive data from my remote db server (MySQL) , I know I can't connect the MySQL directly on android . And I'm trying to use the soap , but I'm not sure if this is the right way ? I don't have any experience on it , so my question is:" what is the way to sent/receive data from remote db server " in general ? Does it have any examples I can see ? Like the project :Cab4Me(http://www.cab4me.com/) , Does it have remote DB ? What is the method they can sent/receive the data from DB ? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Bluetooth modem
Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a T-Mobile G1 as a replacement for my existing Windows Mobile PDA. So far as I can tell it will have everything I want bar one, namely TomTom. I have bought TomTom Navigator for the PDA and also pay for a Traffic subscription. Since I'll only have one tariff with unlimited data (on the G1), what I'd like to be able to do is use the G1 as a bluetooth modem that the PDA can use to download the live traffic data. Is there support in Android for networking over Bluetooth? Alternatively, is there and application I can get that will do this? Lastly if the answer to both is no (and given that I am a software developer by trade), would this be possible using the appropriate APIs?

Pre-populating it and building the database file into your app, as the
other response suggested, is probably the best way to do it.
However, if you decide to populate the database when your app is first
run, you might still be able to speed it up by wrapping the whole
process inside an SQLite transaction. Otherwise, it creates a separate
transaction for each query, which is slow. That's according to the
SQLite Optimization FAQ (http://web.utk.edu/~jplyon/sqlite/
SQLite_optimization_FAQ.html), although that FAQ is out of date by now
so maybe it's no longer true.

[android-developers] manipulating markets popularity! - why should i develop app for android
Hi, It is my understanding that the "popularity index" uses several parameters to such as rating, comments (not directly but indirectly), number of downloads, active install, total install, installs from regular users, install from dev phones, age of the app, number of phone sales in a region, etc,etc -- there is probably 500 elements that are in the works! And rightfully so Google doesn't want folks to game the system. Now what I like to stress here is the following -- the 3 key element that is presented to users prior to download is number of downloads, rating, comments. No matter how much we argue at the end of day -- the users makes his/her decision "somewhat" based on the above 3 parameters. Interestingly all of the above parameters can be manipulated by doing the following. a. Download the app - rank and comment b. Reset your phone - Create new user c. Repeat A And if you get say 5 college kid doing the above.. bingo you can always make sure that visible 3 comments are clean and positive -- you can also use those comments as a megaphone to tell the users -- what more can your app do -- beside the 325 char description , you keep your rating stable at 4.7/4.6 (so you don't look to greedy) and your number of downloads are increasing. Not only that while you are at it you might as well go ahead and make lower rating and ugly comments to competitors app -- and you make sure you uninstall competitors app, where as you don't uninstall your app -- you just hit for the "hard reset" -- because you send the signal -- that the phone might be off -- rinse and repeat!!! Yes very true this will not increase your popularity but slowly and surely by doing so you can only go up cos if all of the ranking elements produce "X" and the above 3 elements say produce "Y" -- no matter how insignificant these 3 parameter is -- you are on the positive -- never the less you have a propaganda megaphone to the users who download your apps. In every damn category all the top 20 - 30 apps stays the same, I have not seen them moving out of that space !! I am complete disgusted by the above, I worked hard to develop my app, I used the SDK so I can take advantage of all the phone features and I am honest and what it gets me -- nada! So why should I develop app -- what incentive does it provide me if I don't have the money power to buy my friends 5-10 G1 to game the system!! I have couple of ideas to the above problem - and I am sure there are many here who has even better idea then i list below -- 1. Rating from the "new" users i.e. created on the fly users -- should be separated from the users who are verified i.e. been using google for a while and have a history, so I propose 2 ratings rather then one - why - it should be transparent to the end consumer (No propaganda megaphone) -- how you use to evaluate popularity -- not my business and its googles secret. 2. Comments should have added "star" or colors to identify also the user has no history with google i.e. Amazon's "REAL NAME". Again transparent to end consumer Yes, I do want to have "real users comments" and their "ratings" and show the world "total downloads" -- it just helps me improve my app. But we need a fair playing field that's my request. I am sure many of you know the above -- at least its a open secret! Now everyone can play the game!!

[android-developers] Bitmap is recycled but I didn't do it?
I am drawing bitmaps left and right and I hit this issue where I create a bitmap in one section of my code and when I later try to draw on it using canvas, i get bitmap recycled. but I did not null if out, or call its recycle method. Description: I have a main Class that extends View that when first loads, initiates the main screen which loads/draws on bitmaps and no problem. I then added a key event that causes this screen to go away and load the next screen. The screen logic is encapsulated in a class that I already instantiated in the Main Class constructor and in my second screen its constructor is this code: staticBg = new BitmapDrawable(Bitmap.createBitmap(320, 240, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565)); staticGr = new Canvas( staticBg.getBitmap() ); at a later time, from my first screen when I push a button, i call my init() function that trys load screen two which does a draw to this bitmap and I get the following error: 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): java.lang.NullPointerException 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled(Canvas.java:890) 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.drawBitmap(Canvas.java:911) It is saying my bitmap is recycled BUT from what I understand that does not happened unless you explicitly call it or the garbage collector does when there are no more references to it BUT i obviously still have a reference to it.

[android-developers] Trackball doesn't give me click events, but touch screen does
I have a list activity that creates a header row above the data rows
from the adapter. I want to receive click events when the user selects
the header or a data row (but my data rows have check boxes in them,
so this part is tricky). When I use the touch screen, I get this
expected behavior:
1. Tapping on any row causes a click event and a dialog appears.
2. Long-pressing on a data row causes a context menu to appear.
3. Long-pressing on the header row does *not* show the context menu.
However, when I use the arrow keys (emulator) or trackball (G1), I get
this unexpected behavior:
1. Selecting any row fails to cause any click events, even though the
row's appearance changes like it's being clicked.
2. Long-pressing on the header row *does* show the context menu, which
I don't want.
3. Occasionally, it doesn't focus the correct row when I move up or
down (e.g. it skips from the header to the last data row).
What am I doing wrong?

[android-developers] BroadcastReceiver and onRestart
I have an app that has an integrated BroadcastReceiver to handle incoming calls. That BCR interacts with the NotificationManager to post text to the notification bar on the top of the screen. In previous versions it seemed that when the user would use the Notification drag-down to get into my App, the onCreate method would be called essentially re-initializing my app. In 1.1 this doesn't seem to happen, i need to manually refresh my app to list new data. I was curious if its was ok to override the OnRestart() method in my activity to refresh my data list? or is there a better way to let my activity know through the BroadcastReceiver that it needs to look for new data? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Problem with Simple Audio Recorder Application : Android
Hi,
I have written a simple Application to record audio.
SD card is enabled in emulator using "./emulator -sdcard sd_card.img".
when i enter this command, it displays warning saying "Audio output is
failed".
the application runs properly but i cant see the recorded file.
output file is set to "sdcard/test.3gpp" (setOutputFile("/sdcard/test.
3gpp")).
earlier i used "environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()" option to
get the path.. den i could see the recorded contents in "Music - >
Songs" in Emulator. But when i tried to play those, it says format not
supported("sorry, the player doesnot support this kind of audio
file"). i pulled that file using ADB ( "adb pull local_file /sdcard/
remote_file") on to system and tried to play it but unsuccessful.
I have altered the Android manifest file to give the AUDIO permission
aftre the field in the file.
Plesae help me
Thanks in Advance

[android-developers] Re: Help using Eclipse to "attach" to a process on the emulator...
I am running the Eclipse ADT plugin. Wandering into even blacker magic, two points come up, If the process I want to debug was started because it's a remote service of the application I did start via Eclipse how do I attach the Eclipse/ ADT debugger to it? Eclipse certainly does not see the process. It does work. I was seeing the "2nd debugger failed" message, that's what got me to think of shutting down Eclipse and starting DDMS first. I did -not- update my ADT (because the web page said not to) when I rolled to SDK 1.1R1, maybe I should have? functional but puzzled, mike On Mar 6, 5:23 pm, Xavier Ducrohet wrote: > If you have installed ADT then you should not be running the > standalone version of DDMS. > > ADT actually is set of 2 plug-ins: DDMS and ADT. > > When DDMS is running, it constantly monitors emulators that are > running, or devices that are connected through USB.

[android-developers] Re: Help using Eclipse to "attach" to a process on the emulator...
If you have installed ADT then you should not be running the standalone version of DDMS. ADT actually is set of 2 plug-ins: DDMS and ADT. When DDMS is running, it constantly monitors emulators that are running, or devices that are connected through USB. As soon as a new device/emulator is connected, it actually connects to each application running on the device/emulator as a debugger. The applications can only accept connection from one debugger, so the 2nd instance of DDMS fails to work (it sees the applications but fails to connect to them) (Regular Java debuggers actually connect to DDMS which then forwards the packets to the application back and forth.)

[android-developers] Re: Help using Eclipse to "attach" to a process on the emulator...
There seems to be some magical connection between Eclipse and DDMS, after shutting down Eclipse and restarting DDMS and then restarting Eclispe it now seems to work about like I would have expected. It does not seem like you have to start DDMS before Eclipse...something is loose down there... mike On Mar 6, 11:13 am, Mike Collins wrote: > We are using V1.1R1, does the V1.0R2 work better? > > That seems to do a bit better, the Eclipse debugger now shows a few > of the threads in the process.

[android-developers] Re: Testing for HTC magic
The emulator doesn't simulate any specific phone. Just a generic one. Your application *should* run the same on an HTC magic as on a TMobile G1 because the hardware is very similar. The whole intention of Android is to separate the application layer sufficiently from the hardware so that your app will run equally well on any android device. So, although there are possible reasons it might not work well on a Magic, it's far more likely misbehaving because of either 1) the users particular phone setup (too many other running apps, etc), or 2) it's misbehaving on most actual physical phones. If it's reason 1, you just got bad luck that they left a poor review. If it's reason 2, you should investigate and fix it. If at all possible, you should get an actual G1 (or Magic when it becomes publicly available in your area) and install and test the app. And although a DEV phone would be better than the emulator, the DEV phone ships with a different configuration than what end users have on their phones. So an actual phone from a phone company would be the absolute best way to test. The Android Platform which gets installed onto these phones by cellular phone companies is customized as they choose (which is one reason Android is open source). For this reason, the emulator will never be exactly the same as the real world.

[android-developers] How to start an Intent from preference page AND GET RESULTS?
Hey guys, I am trying to start an intent from a preference activity, AND GET RESULTS once the new intent is done. As such, I can update the summary of the preference. Normall we do startActivityForResult() to wait for results. But how can I do this here? My code is as follow: PreferenceScreen intentPref = getPreferenceManager().createPreferenceScreen(this); Intent intent = new Intent(this, PolicyEditor.class); intent.putExtra(PhoneCardDbAdapter.COL_ROWID, (long)rule.mRuleID); intentPref.setIntent(intent); <--- I want to make sure once the activity related to intent is done, we can update the summary title = "Rule " + (i+1); summary = rule.ruleSummary(); intentPref.setTitle(title); intentPref.setSummary(summary); mlaunchPrefCat.addPreference(intentPref); Any idea?

[android-developers] Re: (OT) Is the combination of Android Market and Google Checkout a joke?
Al, and all who share his sentiments, I am from Idaho and I am new to THIS list. But it doesn't mean I haven't spend a lot of time READING this forum, and in other developer forums as well. I understand how they work and that there are rules, which, when followed, significantly improve the quality of the content. I can understand your resistance to begin complying with the rules. Approximately half of your posts are off topic. However, if you were to move such conversations to the android-discuss group, your relevant and useful dialog there would encourage others to move to that forum as well, when they wish to discuss non-development subjects. It would improve both forums, to separate the content by topic, would it not? You are right. This discussion does add traffic to the group. But if reminding the users of the group of it's clearly defined usages cuts just 20 illegitimate emails out of the list daily, a few posts like this are worth it. I think the majority of this groups subscribers would agree.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit and ClassNotFoundException
The only way to test code that uses Android API is on a device or emulator. Look at instrumentation projects such as the ApiDemos test project (samples/ApiDemos/tests/) You will need to create an Eclipse project for ApiDemos and one of the test project. ADT doesn't fully support this at this point, so you'll need to add the ApiDemos project to the build path of the test project so that it compiles. You then need to install both apk on the device, and use the "am instrument ..." command on the device (through adb shell).

[android-developers] Re: What would an intent URI look like for numeric data?
There was a big reworking late in 1.0 of the result stuff that caused a lot of things that used to be returning things as raw strings to put them in the action field. It is generally not something I would recommend. And what you do with results is very very different than what you do with activity intents and such, because an activity intent is something you are publishing to the system, which it does intent filter matching on, etc. I would recommend putting things like integers in to the extra data. I would certainly not recommend using the data field if you don't actually have a reasonable scheme prefix that is part of your data.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit and ClassNotFoundException
Hi Bo, Did you resolve this issue? I'm having a similar problem. My test suite is a separate eclipse project, I need to test my android program against a desktop Java program in order to verify that I have ported the application correctly. To so this I need to use classes from both the JAI library and Android library. My test package is currently setup as a java project, I assumed the JAI library wouldn't compile to dex but that the android classes would compile to java class files. I'm guessing that the latter is incorrect as any methods I call return a stub error; 60. return Bitmap.createBitmap(pixels, 0, width, width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_); java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! at android.graphics.Bitmap.createBitmap(Bitmap.java:27) at uk.ac.ic.doc.gea05.miffed.operators.concreteoperators.binary.TestIdentityTransform.generateBitmap(TestIdentityTransform.java:60) I'm presuming that I can't get this to work, and submit this comment for reference.

[android-developers] Re: PreferenceActivity with blur behind?
Make sure that the activity you are calling has the theme attribute
set to Theme.Dialog in the Android Manifest as follows:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"

[android-developers] Where can i find a (complete) reference of XML files for layouts/drawables/etc
Hello everyone, I've been searching the internet and i have not found a proper reference guide (with some nice examples) that describe all the possible elements in XML files for resources such as layouts, drawables, strings, manifests, etc., etc. The only ones i find are some examples but I have no clear idea of everything that may be out there. For development i'm using Eclipse and the Android views help quite a bit when creating layouts for views. However, i'm not sure Eclipse is complete in that respect. And when creating xml file for drawables, there is no help from Eclipse whatsoever. That's why i'm looking for a (complete) reference guide describing all the possible xml-elements and their attributes (for example; how to create custom backgrounds with borders, gradients, corners, shapes, strokes, etc. etc.) Can someone point me to a resource with this kind of information.

[android-developers] Extending Theme.Dialog Problem
I've extended Theme.Dialog to use a different color as per the sample in the ApiDemos project but for some reason it does not use the theme properly in my project. I created a new project and it works perfectly fine there. The main problem here is that it does not show as floating in my project. Instead, it sets the rest of the screen black except for what would be the dialog window, where it uses the correct colors, etc... Any ideas? I am beating my head against the wall here.

[android-developers] Re: Static reference gets gc
It's not so much that your object got GC'd, but that your process was removed because nothing was running in it, and space was needed for other processes. If you want something to run in the background, use a service. If you just need to store some properties between invocations of your app, write them to a SharedPreference or something, don't keep an entire process around to hold them.

We are using V1.1R1, does the V1.0R2 work better? That seems to do a bit better, the Eclipse debugger now shows a few of the threads in the process. I still can't seem to set any breakpoints in the process and DDMS is still showing me nothing interesting.

[android-developers] Re: WebView issue?
What's odd about that behavior? IIUC, you're saying "when the user clicks
on something, don't do anything".

[android-developers] Re: Help using Eclipse to "attach" to a process on the emulator...
I saw this issue with cupcake release when I was trying to attach to one of the apps. Some times DDMS worked, sometimes it didn't. I remember I was able to attach when I used the other port for that process (i.e 86XX instead of 8700). Why don't you try that?

[android-developers] Re: ContentProvider InstantiationException
Provider class public. Check: public class SavingsDbAdapter extends ContentProvider :) And I implement all the methods for a ContentProvider that Eclipse asked me to. I do have some static code that runs first, as the NotesList example does at the bottom of the class. That code seems to run fine before I hit the exception. I also have added the android:multiprocess parameter to true, but I wouldn't expect that to have any effect either way on my problem.

[android-developers] designMode in WebView

[android-developers] Re: ContentProvider InstantiationException
Hence the InstantiationException. I get that. But WHY can't it be instantiated or, the real kicker, how can I get it to work? From what I can tell, and from what I keep reading in everything I can find on ContentProviders, everything looks fine with my setup. I don't even know where to look to try to fix my setup. Has anyone else ever encountered this and figured out why your provider couldn't be instantiated?

[android-developers] WebView issue?
So I've got a WebView, and in its content is a phone number. I
hightlight it and click - voila, taken to the phone app.
Now, all I do is add this code:
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String
url) {
return false;
}
});
and hey, presto!, clicks no longer work.
Can anyone repro/explain this odd behavior?
Thanks.
Marc

[android-developers] Help using Eclipse to "attach" to a process on the emulator...
I have a process running on the emulator but can't figure out how to get Eclipse to attach to it so I can debug it. DDMS isn't doing anything useful, it does the "ps" and shows my process but it is "not DDMS aware", has no description and no VM version. Threads don't update, heap doesn't show anything, allocations is blank... Debugging through Eclipse's "Remote Java Application", set to port 8700 does nothing for a while and then fails with a failed to connect to remote VM error. any help would be appreciated, mike --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
