[android-developers] need help on "--core-library"

[DaRolla]

hello,

I need to build a java.beans.PropertyChangeListener which is part of
JDK (rt.jar) but not part of Dalvik.

Trying to copy the sources to my Application I get this:

Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core
library.
It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from
a desktop
virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not
work. If
you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate
as
part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to
compiling an
application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this
error
message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact
building
an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail
at some
point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful
error
message.

My solution:
1) build a core library with consisting out of
java.beans.PropertyChangeListener
2) integrate that library (jar?) into my application.

My question:
- how can I build a core library using eclipse?

greetings,
darolla

[android-developers] Re: Hosting APKs files on site works for emulator, but not device?

[EboMike]

I tried it again this morning and it works now. I guess T-Mobile keeps
a cached file for 24 hours or so.

At this point, I'm positive that the problem lies with T-Mobile: a) it
works from within the emulator, b) I don't see a hit in the accesslog
when I try to download it, c) it works after 24 hours.

One thing I didn't try when the file was busted was to simply rename
it or to add something like ?x=y at the end of the URL when
downloading it. That should have solved it too.

[android-developers] Re: Paid applications and market feedback/rating

[StefanK]

There is probably a possibility to still keep the ratings if you leave
the app free, let it expire (or go to a limited functionality after a
several days or so). If users want to get it back to full features -
they have to buy an unlock key. The unlock key is nothing more than a
paid application that has no functionality. Your free application will
just have to check if the paid is installed and unlock itself.

This approach (if possible) has lots of advantages:

1. You can keep the ratings from the free app
2. You support only one app (not free and paid).
3. You can give your users potentially longer trial than the 24 hours
Google allows.
4. No need to port settings from the free to the paid one.
5. You potentially avoid issues with crashes caused by copy protection
as you will copy protect only the paid app that has not real
functionality,

This is a bit unconventional approach, but it may work.

[android-developers] Re: How to add SMS to inbox in android programmatically?

Thanks for your update. So you exactly have done two things:
1. Call SmsManager::sendTextMessage( )
2. Put the sent SMS to its database via ContentResolver::insert( )

[android-developers] Re: android.os.ServiceManager

[Kenny]

Reading the file frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/
telephony/gsm/SMSDispatcher.java, you can find handleSendComplete( )
has a PendingIntent to send. I don't understand PendingIntent well,
only seeing the LOG code saying "SMS send complete. Broadcasting
intent ..."

Is this sendIntent interceptable? Not sure if the
PendingIntent has extra data of SMS contents. Seer, let me know your
insight.

[android-developers] Re: GridView ImageView and performance

[Streets Of Boston]

I had similar issues. I managed to fix the performance of the list-
view, but i ran into memory issues.

My app downloads images from Smugmug, images that are 'front-page'
images of galleries/albums.
First, my app needed to get the information about the album, to get
the image-id of the album's front-page image. This would result in a
URL and then my app downloads the image using this URL and then shows
it in a list-item.

I used the ExecutorService to fetch the necessary album information
and image-retrieval and image decoding in a limited number of
background threads.

In the list-adpater's getView method, i would tag (setTag) the list-
item view with the album-id and submit a new (cancelable) task using
the ExecutorService (java.util.concurrent packages). This task
downloads the album info and then downloads the image. While the album
information and the image were downloading, i showed a place-holder
picture in my list-item's imageview (a bitmap from the res/drawable
directory)

When the task that has been submitted finishes, it posts the result
back to the main-thread: Loop over the current list-view children
(which are the visible list-items). For each child get its tag
(getTag) and if this tag matched the task-result, i would set the
child's imageview's bitmap to the image i just downloaded.

This all worked quite well, with images downloading at their own pace
and the list-view kept performing well.
However, at some point i got memory errors when calling
ImageView.setImageBitmap(Bitmap). I checked my code. I made sure to
recycle not-used bitmaps, i did not cache bimtaps, etc., but i kept
getting memory errors (note that the smugmug images downloaded were
small: 100x100 pixels).

I was not able to solve these memory errors and i abandoned this idea.
Any ideas to prevent these memory errors? :-)

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap Memory

[bra...@gmail.com]

Well Im sorry - but this is a memory leak. Watching the core its
obvious that the actual memory is being freed but when an attempt is
made to use that memory the vm buffer still thinks the memory is in
use. I have to say this is probably one of the worst bugs I have come
across and it should be addressed rapidly. In a phone where visuals
are everything to have such a HUGE problem with handling them is a
real PITA.

[android-developers] Understand Broadcast and Intent with Dalvik process

[Kenny Yu]

Does anyone know if sendBroadcast(intentA) will bring intents to all
Dalvik processes?

For example, process android.process.acore behaves sendBroadcast(new
intentA). Will the intentA be received in com.android.camera? We think
android.process.acore and com.android.camera are zygoted to two Dalvik
VMs (Linux processes).

Same question to sendIntent(intentB). In terms of docs, sendIntent( )
can address certain class to receive the intent. Is this behavior
across processes?

[android-developers] Re: jarsigner jar sign apk update

[dillirao malipeddi]

when you want to update application in the device it checks for the previous
key info with modifications.
it wont allow you to sign same application with different signs

if you want to use different keys you must change your package name of your
application
then it wont give error. otherwise it will give the error

because it store installed application details in the system folder as xml
file

when you want to update an application it will check with previous one with
same package

[android-developers] I need to use jbossall-client.jar

[DaRolla]

hello,

I need to use some jars inside android. well, most of them work. It
seems that the standard java compiled jars are decompiled and compiled
into dalvik format (for example Log4J.jar).

The only jar that makes troubles is jbossall-client.jar.

Eclipse console says:

Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core
library.
It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from
a desktop
virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not
work. If
you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate
as
part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to
compiling an
application -- then use the "--core-library" option to suppress this
error
message. If you go ahead and use "--core-library" but are in fact
building
an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail
at some
point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful
error
message.

So I tried to remove the javax package from the jar.

Now Eclipse console says:

Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null

:(

Who can help me on this?

Greetings,
DaRolla

Of course you should sign your updated app with the same keystore,

claims to be yours, sign it with my own key and push a bogus update.

[android-developers] Re: Hosting APKs files on site works for emulator, but not device?

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

There is a transparent proxy on T-Mobile's port 80, which works at the
IP level (so it doesn't need to be explicitly configured at the HTTP
level, but also can't be bypassed).

Does your apk download over wifi? Can you try serving it from a port
other than 80?

There's an open issue
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1085 about
situations where small apks (less than 64kB) sometimes cause problems,
though we've never been able to quite get to the bottom of it.

[android-developers] jarsigner jar sign apk update

[Maxence Warzecha]

Hi all,

This is what I did :

- I signed my apk.
- I published my apk.
- I updated my application.
- I sign my new apk file succesfully (**with an other keystore**).
- I upload my new apk.
- When poeple what to install updated version, they receive message
look like "apk file was not signed correctly". If they uninstall
previous version, they are able to install new version (piouf...).

I don't understand why.

Can you tell me if need to keep my previous keystore *OR* with similar
information? Or ...?

Thank you!
Max

Hello,

The vibrator is not currently emulated by the Android emulator at this

[android-developers] Re: Determine images at runtime - getResources().getIdentifier()

I solved it, the parameter must be:
getPackageName()+":drawable/"+symbolIdentifier

Still the question:
How can it be done better?

[android-developers] Determine images at runtime - getResources().getIdentifier()

[Tommaso]

Hi all,

in my application I have a table that stores information for symbols.
These symbols have to be displayed, so also the source, the *.png, is
stored in each row. These symbols are loaded randomly at runtime.

How do I get the the image(s) to be loaded?

getResources().getIdentifier(symbolIdentifier, null, null) always
results 0 (zero).

Here is the code:
private void loadSymbol(final String source) {
int imageIdentifier = getResources().getIdentifier
(symbolIdentifier, null, null);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
imageIdentifier);
mImageOfSymbol.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
mImageOfSymbol.setVisibility(ImageView.VISIBLE);
mImageOfSymbol.refreshDrawableState();
}

It says in the JavaDoc that the use of getIdentifier() is discouraged.
What is a best practice to load images at runtime, when only knowing
the source as a string?

Many thanks in advance.

Ciao,
  Tommaso

[android-developers] Re: Help using autocomplete in my database.....

[aljo]

Thanks... your program worked...

Thank you for your help...

Just one question... If what I understand is correct, your program
queries only the first column of the table... If I query the second
column which is the "_id" column, it still looks into the "name"
column and displays the content of the name column in the autocomplete
textview. So i have to change the ((TextView) view).setText
(cursor.getString(columnIndex)) and return cursor.getString
(columnIndex) to ((TextView) view).setText(cursor.getString(1)) and
return cursor.getString(1)...
I don't know if what I did to modify the code was the correct way or
do you have a better way?

it now looks like this...

 @Override
public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor
cursor) {
((TextView) view).setText(cursor.getString(1));
}

@Override
public String convertToString(Cursor cursor) {
Log.i("info", " convertToString ");
return cursor.getString(1);
}

@Override
public Cursor runQueryOnBackgroundThread(CharSequence
constraint) {
if (constraint != null) {
String selection = "_id like \'" + constraint.toString()
+"%\'";
return sqlite.query("test", null, selection, null,
null, null, null);
}
else {
return null;
}
}

sorry if im such a noob

[android-developers] Re: Sensing The Touch Event

[Abdul Mateen]

Actually , What I am trying to achieve is , making an Application, that is
running behind user will start his application on top of my Application,
same on the emulator and on the real device some where, when he touch on the
emulator , my application should get the information about the touch and
send it over the http to the instance of application running on the real
phone, then it will execute that particular event, see by this , we can
remotely execute the same applications, Can this be possible?

Otherwise if from SDK this is not possible I will have to make some native
programs and push that into the phone to accomplish this.

Thank you for your answer. However, I have realised that the binary
plugins I have are NOT under the EPL.

I've been looking into this a little bit more in detail, and have come
to the following conclusions:
The eclipse plugins (0.8.0.v200809220836) downloadable from the update
site https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ are distributed under
the Android Software Development Kit License Agreement. According to
3.3 in that agreement we are not allowed to redistribute the plugins
in our own eclipse distribution.
If we would take the source code of the plugins in git (0.8.1 or 0.9.0
work in progress) we could build the plugins ourselves and distribute
it under EPL and Apache 2 accordingly.
To build them ourselves appears to us as an unnecessary step which we
would like to avoid. If possible we would like to take the prebuilt
binaries and include them in our distribution. However, it appears
that we would need Google's written permission in order to do that.

Could someone from Google comment on that?

[android-developers] How the use same instances when launching application twice ?

[Derek]

Hi,

Is it possible to re-use all the instances of Activities and Services
when an application is launched twice. For instance:
1/ I start my application APP1. Some activities are launched and a
service is started.
2/ I click "Home" device button
3/ I can see the icon the launch again my application APP1
4/ I click on it and the APP1 is launched twice

I would like to re-use the existing the instances of Activities and
Services from the first launch.
I guess it is related to "SingleTop" or "SingleTask" but it doesn't
seem to work.

Any suggestion ?

I created the file.java  to read file so I don't know why it's error.
And there's the error: "android.content.res.AssetManager
$AssetInputStream"

public class Test1 extends Activity{
 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
readfilefromlocal(this);
}
protected void readfilefromlocal(Context ctx) {

 FileInputStream istream = null;
 TextView tv = new TextView (this);
try {
  istream = (FileInputStream)ctx.getResources().openRawResource
(R.raw.sample);

 SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
 XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
 ExampleHandler myExampleHandler = new ExampleHandler();
 xr.setContentHandler(myExampleHandler);
 xr.parse(new InputSource(istream));

 ParsedExampleDataSet parsedExampleDataSet =
myExampleHandler.getParsedData();
 tv.setText(parsedExampleDataSet.toString1());
}
catch (Exception e){

this.setContentView(tv);

[android-developers] Re: global object? (singleton, intends, db)

[Al Sutton]

Have you actually benchmarked using the database against alternatives?

You may find that although you consider the database slow it's the 
fastest option you have when compared to serialization methods.

I just rewrote part of my application (NetCounter) last week to get ride 
of the aidl I used between activity and service. I wrote a model created 
in Application#onCreate [1]. You can register an Application object in 
your manifest so the platform will create it before anything else in 
your application. You can then use getApplication [2][3] to get this 
reference from your activities and services.

You can have a look at NetCounter code as it is now open-source ;)

[android-developers] global object? (singleton, intends, db)

[DaRolla]

hello,

in order to communicate with the server I need a huge global object
(class with some hashmaps).

all my activities (about 10) need that huge global object.

wich options do I have?

I am thinking about passing the object using intends and about the
possibility to make the object a singleton.

using the db will be much too slow.


any ideas?

greetings & thanks for reading,
DaRolla

[android-developers] Transferring paid apps G1 -> HTC Magic

[Carl Whalley]

With the imminent arrival of the Magic I was wondering what impact
this would have on both end users and developers who want to transfer
their apps over, or may even have both handsets for whatever reason.
Is there a licensing provision for it? A means via software? This will
become more of an issue as the other new Android handsets are
launched.

[android-developers] Re: Hosting APKs files on site works for emulator, but not device?

Al, thanks for the reply. It's on my own server (a Linux-based Apache
server), and it's a simple A HREF that goes straight to the file in the same
directory. No redirection or anything.

I tried it on an ADP1 and a G1, both on the T-Mobile network, and it didn't
work. The emulator worked fine. The symptoms point to a proxy.

[android-developers] Hosting APKs files on site works for emulator, but not device?

[EboMike]

I'm currently hosting an app on my own server so my beta testers can
test it. I've set up the apk MIME type to be application/
vnd.android.package-archive, and when I try to download the app from
the emulator, it downloads the 53KB apk file and installs it.

When I try to do the same thing from a real ADP1 device, it only loads
43KB. When I try to install it, the system says that I'm trying to
install an app that already exists (called "Android System") and that
doesn't require any permissions, but nothing happens when I proceed.
logcat tells me "D/asset   (16379): failed to open Zip archive '/
sdcard/download/[name of the app].apk'

Bonus points! When I try to download the app from the emulator, I can
see that in the accesslog of my server. Not so when I download it from
the device, even after deleting /sdcard/download/* and clearing the
cache through the settings. Almost as if the device was loading an old
copy from a proxy server. I'm not sure which APN I'm using, but none
of the T-Mobile APNs have a proxy AFAICS.

Is there a way to circumvent the proxy, assuming that this is the
case? And/or tell the proxy not to cache this apk file?

-Mike
