[android-developers] URGENT!!!!! Can't update apps in android market!!!
When I upload an apk update for one of my apps(Hello Yahoo), I was told that Market requires the minSdkVersion to be set in AndroidManifest.xml.. So I can't do the update! I already set this attribute in AndroidManifest.xml. What's wrong?? I even set it to uses-sdk minSdkVersion=3 /, but still I can't do the update. Has anyone met this problem? BTW, when I go to http://market.android.com/publish/Home today, I have accepted Term and Service again. I think already accepted it the first time I registered for it. Why should I accept it again? Could any google stuff look into this please? Thanks very much --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: What's this problem?
I have tried this.
// code snip start
URL url = new URL(string);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
InputStream is = con.getInputStream();
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
is.close();
con.disconnect();
// code snip stop
It doesn't help.
FYI, when I added a while loop, like this
while(bmp == null)
{
Thread.sleep(100);
URL url = new URL(string);
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openStream());
}
After one/two try, it always return a valid Bitmap.
But I think it just a workaround. Is there any stand way to fix it?

When I call this method continuously in a thread, it returns a valid

report jpeg error 20 Improper call to JPEG library in state.
Actually, I think the problem is because of the connection error,
since when I debug the application, the inputstream seems invalid.
Is there anyone know what the problem is it?

[android-developers] Layout bugs
Having read http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/future-proofing-your-apps.htm l I noted this little section; Due to changes in the View rendering infrastructure, unreasonably deep (more than 10 or so) or broad (more than 30 total) View hierarchies in layouts are now likely to cause crashes. This was always a risk for excessively complex layouts, but you can think of Android 1.5 as being better than 1.1 at exposing this problem... Will the SDK warn us when we're reaching the limit for crashes? And more to the point why does it crash and not return some form of meaningful error to the app? With an error code or thrown exception developers could create various levels of layout complexity and step down the layout complexity level until they find one the device will support. Al. P.S. No matter what the post says I see this as a regression in functionality and I definitely do not see it as Android 1.5 as being better than 1.1 in any way. --- * Written an Android App? - List it at http://andappstore.com/ * == Funky Android Limited is registered in England Wales with the company number 6741909.

Yes, if you force stop the input method, it is restarted, because it is actually being used and needed by the system to let the user perform input! It makes no sense to try stop it from running.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
We didn't have time for Cupcake, but we definitely want to have some very well-defined limits in a future release. There is no nice error because what actually is happening is the app is running out of stack space -- some optimizations and new features in the view hierarchy caused certain functions to use a little more stack, which can result in apps that were skirting the edge of the stack to go over the limit. We apologize, and definitely aren't happy about this; we had some some additional optimization of the code to reduce stack usage at the very last minute but found a little later that it still wasn't enough. Anyway, if this makes cupcake not a good as 1.1 to you, well okay, I guess don't run cupcake or something. (Btw, in practice, an application with a deep hierarchy like this is also going to have noticeable performance issues because of the work required to manage it, so this can be considered a nice opportunity to do a bit of good optimization.)

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences got deleted! - What could be the problem?
Thank you Dianne for joining the discussion. I will look into my code again but I'm sure that this is the only way I am writting to the SharedPreferences: settings.edit().putString(SOME_STRING, Hello world.).commit(); So there shouldn't be a problem with that one. Is it possible that SharedPreferences could get lost when a background services writes to the SharedPreferences file and gets killed during that process? In my background service I am updating e.g. some shared prefs that tell me if I have set a specific notification or not. Could this usage in services be a problem? In addition it would be interesting why a lot of users are complaining that their settings got lost after updating my application? I have never had that problem testing my own app. But a lot of my users are reporting that. (My application has 97.000 active installs and is called Missed Call) I'm looking forward reading your response.

[android-developers] Re: SDK1.5 AudioRecord sample rate problem
Steven, Thank you for your reply. I know AudioRecord works with a sample frequency of 8000Hz. In my initial post I was asking why this frequency is the ONLY frequency that works?! BTW, there is no exception thrown when the initialization of AudioRecord fails. I figured you are supposed to check that yourself by something like: if(mRecord.getState()==AudioRecord.STATE_INITIALIZED), not a try-catch block. So again: the question is, why does the initialization fail, if I supply the constructor with AUDIO_SAMPLE_FREQ= 11025 || 22050 || 44100?

Call setEnabled() on the actual row you want to enable or disable, and hope the ListView row-selection logic honors your request. 3. Call setListAdapter() again on your ListView, though this will probably reset your selected row as well. 4.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
Cupcake is not rushed in any way and every change we made was made after careful consideration. The problem that Dan warns about should not affect the vast majority of apps. In my experience, to trigger it, you need to have a hierarchy of views that's about 14 levels deep. And even in 1.0 and 1.1, such a deep hierarchy could blow up depending on the code path taken or how the app is using the views. And for what it's worth I DID made some changes to avoid this problem to occur in some existing Market applications. The fix goes against optimizing the framework but we gave priority to backward compatibility with existing apps. As Dianne said, applications that have enough views to trigger that crash would run into other issues anyway and we feel it's a good way to force developers who run into these issues to fix their applications. Inflating, laying out and drawing that many Views is just too slow.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
I'm not sure it's realistic to describe this as a simple optimisation issue. We've just gone through an exercise to fix these crashes in one of our apps. We've managed it, but only at the expense of uglification of the code. We're working with a custom list on a tab. Looking at the hierarchy viewer, we are 12 deep in the tree by the time we get to our ListView. We now have three levels under that - a RelativeLayout for our list item, various simple views, and one custom control with a child view. That just fits, and doesn't crash in 1.5. Previously, we laid out the list item with a 2-deep tree of linear layouts, which was a lot more convenient in our code. As far as I can see, if we had built any more custom controls or used a more complex layout, we'd be quite knackered at this point, which makes this restriction seem like a real step backwards.

[android-developers] Re: AppWidgetProvider question on 1.5 SDK
And it takes forever to layout and draw a WebView. That's why widgets are not implemented in HTML for instance: Home would become unusable.

2. Putting things in loops does not optimize the code, from an execution

By crash here we mean that you get a StackOverflowException, just like with any regular Java application. There is nothing special about this. To me whenever someone on a project says We didn't have time for . when discussing something that increases chances of an app crashing in *any* way that indicates the project has been rushed along. ANY code change that we do increases chances of an app crashing. (And by crashing I mean altering its behavior or throwing an exception, etc.) Like I said, all changes we make are carefully considered and this one was NOT deemed critical. We are releasing a preview SDK *and* articles to help you fix that kind of bug if you run into it but it doesn't mean it is going to happen to your app or even any app. Whatever you might think we take compatibility VERY seriously. We also monitor Market applications closely to ensure we don't break them when it's not justified (we caught many bugs we introduced during the Cupcake development by looking at Market applications.)

For your purpose you should consider creating your layout fully in

[android-developers] Re: What is the correct way to refresh UI when I use android:configChanges=keyboardHidden|orientation
Why do so much people avoid the destoying and recreation of Activities on orientation change. It's there to make the switch to a different orientation easier, because it automatically loads the correct resources. To be honest, I don't fully understand the whole recreation of Activities neither, as it would take a lot of time to recreate the activity and loading (and saving the instance state too) the instance state could take a long time too. But I bet those intelligent Google people have good reasons, that's why I follow their idea. I don't know how to refresh your UI. If you mean by refreshing: loading the appropriate resources to get the correct layout for the current orientation, then you need to destroy and recreate the Activity. That's why the system does this by default! You should save all current state specific information in onSaveInstancestate() (or what is it called, I forgot, it's a couple of weeks ago I did some Androiding :) ) and reload it in onRestoreInstancestate(). And well, all this stuff is in the docs so you can take a look there :).

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer sound problem
Thanks! I will try MediaPlayer.setLooping(true).
With longer sounds it works just fine. I have feeling that error
happens because of no sync. MediaPlayer playes and is going to stop,
at this moment seekTo makes freeze sound problem. (Just my guess)

Have you tried using MediaPlayer.setLooping(true) instead of restarting it
yourself from the OnCompletionListener callback?

Hello.
I have this task:
Need to play short (0.3-0.4 sec) sounds all the time. When sound is
played, it should start again, etc. User can press button to reset
sound - it should stop and lunch.
I did many tests. I tried to create 1 MediaPlayer, then do this:
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener complListener = new
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener()
{
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
lunchSound(); // rewind
}
};
private boolean lunchSound()
{
try
{
mplayer.seekTo(0); // move to start
mplayer.start();
return true;
}catch(Exception e){}
return false;
}
When user press button, I call lunchSound();
It works great on emulator and on device if I have eclipse+debugger
on.
When I disconnect debugger, I have very strange errors - sound can
stop at all (till program restart), sound can start repeating (play
0.1-0.2 sec, then restart). Can someone please provide me some info
about problem?
Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
Don't forget the fact that it assumes the google devs (or, more likely, the mysterious and secretive Designers) have the One True Best Way to change settings. Want to set profiles in toggle settings or other apps (or, say, the much-vaunted Locale) to do things like turn gps off when you are on a train, and turn brightness up when you are outside? Yeah, forget that. Lets see what it takes in 1.1 to turn up the brightness on my phone: Drag down the notification bar (1 drag), click 'toggle settings' (1 click), click 'brightness' (2 clicks) and select a level (3 clicks). Getting back is as easy as a single click to 'back'. Now lets look at the new way. Instead of going to one app that has a list (or no apps, in the case of locale) you have to open settings (click 1), scroll down to the bottom (drag), open display (click 2), scroll down to the bottom (2 drags basically) and click 'brightness' (click three) and then select the slider position (click 4). then hold home (click five, plus a long delay) and select the app you were using (click six). Wow. That sure is convenient when all i want to do is make a phone call in the sun. The good news is, by the time I do that, make my call, and do it again to set the brightness back down, its probably nighttime. (And if I were to set up profiles, I could do all that - plus gps and ringtones - in 3 clicks. Instead of 10+ to do it in 'settings') On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 10:19 AM, chrispix chris...@gmail.com wrote: While I read the blog here : http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/future-proofing-your-apps.html I almost had a heart attack.

It's only half as bad as you guys make it out to be. I agree with
Google's change so that device settings are made in one location only
to emphasize it as a conscious step. You can jump straight into the
relevany settings from an app with the user returning to your app via
the Back button. Here's a snippet how I handle this even now in
1.0/1.1 (haven't had the time to try 1.5; I do this on the side),
using an alert dialog to directly jump to the location settings:
snip
boolean okToFinishApp = true;
string bestProvider;
LocationListener locListener;
LocatioManager locMan;
class DummyListener implements OnClickListener {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int
whichButton)
{
okToFinishApp = false; // starting Intent sends a stop
to myApp; do not respond if this is just opening the browser or some
else
Intent myIntent = new Intent
(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS );
startActivity(myIntent);
} ;
};
if (locListener == null)
locListener = new LocListener(this);
bestProvider = locMan.getBestProvider(providerCriteria, true);
if (bestProvider == null) {
AlertDialog noProviderDialog = new
AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.menudetour)
.setTitle(Where I am)
.setPositiveButton(Turn on, new DummyListener())
.setMessage(No provider for location tracking
available.\n\nYou must turn on a location provider.) // lazy...
string not transferred to resources yet
.setNeutralButton(Cancel, null)
.create();
noProviderDialog.show();
return true;
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (okToFinishApp)
this.finish();
okToFinishApp = false;
}
-- snip
Diane H. critizised the override of onStop() (on another occasion) but
this may not necessary when jumping to settings. It is needed however
when opening the browser from within an app, which I do, so I need
this anyway and I just run with it throughout.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
Well, it didn't seem insane on 1.1, and it ran happily enough. Let me break it down for you, and see if it makes any more sense. From the top, in HierarchyViewer, reading down the deepest path, we go: PhoneWindow$DecorView LinearLayout FrameLayout TabHost LinearLayout (comes with the TabHost) FrameLayout (comes with the TabHost) PhoneWindow$DecorView FrameLayout (for this tab) LinearLayout FrameLayout (also holds a loading-progress gizmo) FastScrollView ListView RelativeLayout (for the list item) OurPhotoView ImageView So, the total depth is the sum of several constructs that each use a few nested views - the TabHost needs a few, the fancy list needs a few, the photo view needs a few, and all of a sudden we are at 15. We used to use more, because the nesting of LinearLayouts worked very well as a way of collecting up a number of items that were often invisible, but that took us over the new stack size limit. Do you see how we got here ? Richard On Apr 24, 1:13 pm, Romain Guy romain...@google.com wrote: A custom control has nothing to do with this kind of issue.

We've just gone through an exercise to fix these crashes in one of our apps. We've managed it, but only at the expense of uglification of the code. We're working with a custom list on a tab. Looking at the hierarchy viewer, we are 12 deep in the tree by the time we get to our ListView. We now have three levels under that - a RelativeLayout for our list item, various simple views, and one custom control with a child view. That just fits, and doesn't crash in 1.5. Previously, we laid out the list item with a 2-deep tree of linear layouts, which was a lot more convenient in our code. As far as I can see, if we had built any more custom controls or used a more complex layout, we'd be quite knackered at this point, which makes this restriction seem like a real step backwards.

There is no nice error because what actually is happening is the app is running out of stack space -- some optimizations and new features in the view hierarchy caused certain functions to use a little more stack, which can result in apps that were skirting the edge of the stack to go over the limit. We apologize, and definitely aren't happy about this; we had some some additional optimization of the code to reduce stack usage at the very last minute but found a little later that it still wasn't enough. Anyway, if this makes cupcake not a good as 1.1 to you, well okay, I guess don't run cupcake or something. (Btw, in practice, an application with a deep hierarchy like this is also going to have noticeable performance issues because of the work required to manage it, so this can be considered a nice opportunity to do a bit of good optimization.)

Will the SDK warn us when we're reaching the limit for crashes? And more to the point why does it crash and not return some form of meaningful error to the app?

I'm not sure why you have to prompt each time. You only need to check
the GPS state once at startup and then fire the user off to settings
if it is not on. They press back after that and you're on your way.
Can't there be some way to code GPS state to an application state?
I'm having a hard time understanding most of your writing, but do you
mean doing something like this:
public static boolean gpsEnabledInSettings( final Context context )
{
android.location.LocationManager alm =
(android.location.LocationManager)
context.getSystemService( Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );
return alm.isProviderEnabled(
android.location.LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER );
}
...or are you proposing a manifest entry staying your app only wants
to run with GPS on? or?
Sure it is nice to be able to provide an in application control but
it is not strictly a requirement for operation. This just does not
seem to me to be that big a deal. Am I missing something?

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
All right, here's the deal: One of the reasons that motivated the change is battery life, which is a major point of frustration for many Android users. More precisely, we've noticed in our testing that there was a strong correlation between user complaints about battery life and specific applications being installed, and a deeper investigation showed that those apps were indeed causing poor battery life by turning hardware on in a way that users weren't expecting. Restricting access to those settings through an explicit UI was found to be an appropriate mechanism for users to known precisely enough what was going on and to get appropriate expectations about battery life. Another reason that motivated the change is an overall concern about privacy and abuse. There've been concerns that changing settings like GPS, data roaming, wifi, airplane mode without the user's explicit action for each operation was inappropriate. Both of those areas were broadly reported by users, by carriers, and in the press. 1.5 addresses those concerns based on the feedback that we're received, by putting the user in better control of their phone.

[android-developers] When GPS goes off?
I am working on an application that requires getting location using GPS. I registered a listener to get GPS location updates. The location manager keeps reporting GPS locations for sometime and then stops reporting according to the updates frequency I requested. I couldn't understand when the GPS decides to stop reporting. I have written logs for the accuracy of the reported locations and the number of satellites, but I couldn't correlate that with the duration of the GPS being ON. Please, what are the parameters that are affecting this, because I don't want to end up with an application that kills the battery.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
If you're worried about an app turning those things on without the user's permission, why not just detect the application changing the setting and pop up a quick dialog asking the user if its ok. That way they wouldn't have to go clicking through menus, it would only add an extra click to say ok to turning the devices on.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
It's already possible for a user to see an app's permissions - though it'd be nice indeed if the list could be organized the other way (contributions welcome). At least anecdotally, though, we've noticed that users (even sophisticated ones) don't associate poor battery life or control over some of the core aspects of their phone with permissions (so the point of how fine-grained the permissions are defined or how verbosely they're worded is pretty moot): for a certain category of settings, our anecdotal evidence suggests that users don't expect any application to be able to change such settings without asking for permission each time.

Where was this discussion held? It sounds like quite a few developers and platform hackers are interested in providing feedback/alternatives.

There is nothing special about this. Thanks for the clarification. To me a crash is when a program suddenly stops executing (i.e. running stopped by a crash), if it's throwing a SOE then that’s good to know. To me whenever someone on a project says We didn't have time for . when discussing something that increases chances of an app crashing in *any* way that indicates the project has been rushed along. ANY code change that we do increases chances of an app crashing. (And by crashing I mean altering its behavior or throwing an exception, etc.) Like I said, all changes we make are carefully considered and this one was NOT deemed critical. We are releasing a preview SDK *and* articles to help you fix that kind of bug if you run into it but it doesn't mean it is going to happen to your app or even any app. Crashing isn't about altering behaviour, crashing is about a program becoming ceasing to respond (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_(computing)). I know the Google dictionary is a little different to the one every else uses (with Beta having a vary loose definition in it), so when someone says Crash you'll have to expect some of us to be using the more widely accepted definition. If every change made increased the chances of crashing then you could draw the conclusion that after a number of changes you would have code that ever app crashed all of the time, which I hope isn't the goal. Btw, All the support work to help to test for this is much appreciated. Whatever you might think we take compatibility VERY seriously. We also monitor Market applications closely to ensure we don't break them when it's not justified (we caught many bugs we introduced during the Cupcake development by looking at Market applications.) It's good to know you're doing compatibility testing and, in all seriousness, it's a great leap forward in the QA stakes. Personally I don't believe an OS should crash when a developer writes code that doesn't fit in with OS design decisions. Error messages and exceptions are the way to handle code that exhausts resources such as the stack, crashing out doesn't give the app a chance to handle things gracefully or give the developer much to work with in terms of finding the problem. Given that the stack size can be changed on different platforms (or even between compilations for the same target) by altering kDefaultStackSize in vm/Thread.h in the davlik project in the repo, doesn't this introduce a problem where an app which works on one platform may just crash out on another where the stack size is different?

The problem that Dan warns about should not affect the vast majority of apps. In my experience, to trigger it, you need to have a hierarchy of views that's about 14 levels deep. And even in 1.0 and 1.1, such a deep hierarchy could blow up depending on the code path taken or how the app is using the views. And for what it's worth I DID made some changes to avoid this problem to occur in some existing Market applications. The fix goes against optimizing the framework but we gave priority to backward compatibility with existing apps. As Dianne said, applications that have enough views to trigger that crash would run into other issues anyway and we feel it's a good way to force developers who run into these issues to fix their applications.

[android-developers] Difficulty Resuming SurfaceView
I am stuck. My main activity creates and starts a SurfaceView. My app needs to access a listview via the options menu to change properties of the items shown in the view. Two strange things occur: 1.) When I scroll the listview quickly, the list sometimes gets farklempt. Words overlap each other. 2.) When I select the item and the app returns to the main activity, the thread is no longer alive. If someone out there can offer help I will post the code. This will take a little effort. My code is loosely based upon LunarLander and the GLSurfaceView examples. If there is a good example (more recent example) someone can point me to, that would be boss.

I think some people are really missing what the turn on GPS setting is. It just is saying that GPS is -allowed- to run. The GPS hardware will only actually be powered up if someone is asking to get data from it. So the vast majority of apps should NEVER be touching this setting -- they should just request location updates when they want them, which will bring up the GPS hardware if it isn't already running (and the user has confirmed that this okay at all with that setting). Another way to look at this -- the GPS setting is primarily there for privacy, to allow users to determine whether is okay -at all- for anyone to be getting the fine-grained information about where they are. The built in maps app (with friend finder and everything) never ever touches the GPS setting. The vast majority of other apps should never have been doing this either. Yes, there are a couple ones out there that have some justification for it, but given the significant abuse and bad user experience and press that was happening with these, we (and I was the main person who made sure this happened so blame me) decided to shut that door now and decide how we wanted to support the much smaller subset of reasonable needs in the future. For example, we should build into the platform a toggles widget that allows users directly control these settings on the home screen. We didn't have time to do this in cupcake; if someone wants to work on it, I think we would be happy to accept a good change to the settings app to add this widget in the next release. Finally, as far as putting up a dialog to confirm with the user -- we don't do this, anywhere in the UI, because experience with other platforms has shown that these kinds of dialogs are more annoying to users than anything else (and they just don't work at all for stuff being done in the background).

I too think this change is a bad idea and will decrease the user's experience with my application. I am surprised that Android's security model asking for permissions when every application is installed is tollerated while WIndows Vista basically doing the same thing in a simpler way receives howls of protest. Additionally, I don't think the average teenager or grand-mother knows what any of the fine grain permissions in Android mean and will just go ahead and allow any app to have the permissions it wants. Being somewhat knowledgable, I wonder if the app is using the permission for the stated purpose or does it do more than it says.

Thanks for the suggestion (and yes, your guess is spot-on - we'll try rearranging it next time we have the covers off). But I don't think that changes the point - this app is not insanely badly-written as it stands, and it is already tripping over the stack- depth problem.

[android-developers] Re: JPEG PixelFormat
If any assumption has to be made, the JPEG data is likely to be in sRGB colorspace, which is most widely used, especially for online viewing. Usually, if an RGB file (JPEG/PNG/TIFF) is read without ICC data, sRGB is assumed. I doubt the quality of G1's camera is good enough to warrant adobeRGB or a colorspace with even a wider gamut. But, you never know for future phones: I hope that future phones, that do embed colorspace info, will do so by automatically embedding the correct colorspace or colorprofile in the JPEG data (the byte[]).
