[android-developers] Re: MapView showing as black screen after upgrade to 1.5
Check if your app might be stuck in your overridden MapActivity.onCreate(). I had that problem and shuffle things in onCreate() around. Once onCreated() completes, the map showed as had been.

As I gather, this shows that all three activities are part of the same
task, even though I use FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK while starting
'SingleTaskActivity' and mark it with 'singleTask' launch mode. The
intent flag value (0x1000) indicates this in the top most activity
entry above.
I cannot explain this behavior with my current understanding derived
from the documentation. What am I missing here?

Good morning everybody! I'm pretty new to Android so I'm facing some problems :) I'm using a TextView widget to show a log, just some text. The log content is stored on an SQLite database that my app creates and when a new line is added to the databse I use textview.append(my last line) to add it. The problems is that when I add a line, it also adds a copy of the text that was already displayed. Quite strange! An example: first line is One, if i add a new line with Two, it prints: One \nOne\nTwo. If i add Three it prints One\nOne\nTwo\nOne\nOne\nTwo \nThree. Can anybody help me to solve this?

Mark, Thanks. Will do both. On May 1, 9:05 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: cre wrote: I didn't answer your previous question. No, there are not problems with other Adapters only the ones in TabHost. I went back and looked at the Hierarchyviewer property values and it shows an item count of 3, which is the number of items in this ListView that should be visible but are not. I am sure I will see the same thing with getCount() next time it fails. So I would say that the- adapter-thinks-its-empty theory is negative. It thinks it has 3 items but has lost the pointer to them somehow. I also didn't make it clear that this problem only occurs after leaving the activity and returning. As long as I remain in the activity there is no problem with the ListViews. That is why I suggested putting the code in onResume(). At this point I firmly believe that this is a bug. That is quite likely. The question is, a bug in what? I recommend you try replacing ArrayAdapter.createFromResource() with some other constructed Adapter (e.g., new ArrayAdapter()) and see if the problem persists. If the problem goes away, then the problem is fairly well narrowed down, and you have a workaround. I suspect that createFromResource() is not the most popular way of creating adapters, so it is possible the difficulty lies there. Also, is this on 1.5 final, or some other edition? If you are not on 1.5 final, you probably should try it there, since the issue might have been resolved. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

i would like that when my app is closed it still run in the background (like at my tracks) to collect data even when it is closed. Use a Service. but it always dies after a while by itself, why? Android may have killed off your process to reclaim memory. And, of course, if the device goes to sleep, your background thread will also go to sleep, which may or may not be what you want. Particularly for a polling-style application, use an AlarmManager to arrange for a Service to do the work. That allows your whole application to close down between polls, minimizing your memory and battery footprint. I have a blog post briefly describing this technique: http://androidguys.com/?p=4411 Also: -- Do not busy-wait like you are in your code.

[android-developers] Re: why thread died? need background thread..
I suppose you see this when the device goes to sleep. Check out wake
locks to keep the CPU awake. Test this out thoroughly, nothing's more
annoying than a background thread run amok. Also note if you reach out
to the Internet to query a database server - Android shuts off the
WLAN adapter after 2mins or so. The phone may or may not have
connectivity once that occurs, depending whether a SIM card is in the
device, there's wireless connectivity etc.
Note the default connect and read timeouts are longer than 10s. Even
after dropping the connect and read TO's to align with your wait
times, dropping to 10s (endTime2) is pretty aggressive.
There's a lot of variables you need to consider and test out before
you can unleash this onto users.

[android-developers] Button Listeners

I'm trying to add an OnClickListener and an OnTouchListener on a

works.
Whenever I add the OnTouchListener to the button with the
OnCLickListener, none of them works. Here is the code:
final Button a=new Button(this);
a.setLayoutParams(new
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams
(-2,-2,lastxposition,lastyposition));
a.setText(Button);
a.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener
()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
openFiles
();
}
});
a.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener
()
{
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent
event) {
String tagname=(String) a.getText();
findID(tagname);
return true;
}
});
Can anybody tell me what I do wrong here?

[android-developers] Re: Android Menu
Being consistent with the general user interface is generally a good way to start. As Romain said, you could of course include a view in your layout that looks like a menu, always present, and thus hide or show it depending on user preferences. The rest of your layout would reflow accordingly. There are alternatives too. Maybe you don't need to strickly emulate the menu look. For example the email app have buttons at the bottom of a thread, with only the minimal choices one need (e.g. reply). The rest, the non-frequent operations, are in the menu. Another example is to have a row of buttons at the bottom that depends on what element is currently selected. Yet another example: you can reduce this row of buttons to merely icons with no text, thus saving space. Place the full icon+text in the context menu = the menu helps for the learning curve and once you know the icons you can just press them directly. R/ On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 7:32 AM, Raja Nagendra Kumar nagendra.r...@tejasoft.com wrote: ok.

[android-developers] Re: xml view defination to take event handler class name
In the meantime, you could easily automate this behavior on your side: - one method is to add custom tags to your layout XML. Use an XmlPullParser to parse the XML and when you find an element with an android:id and your tag, use reflection to associate a listener to it. - another method would be to use special id names, for example __name. Inflate your view content, visit the view hierarchy and for each view id that matches the name you can automatically attach a listener found via reflection. In both cases you can just make an utility method that does this and use it everywhere. The visit xml/hierarchy and reflection keywords should tell you it's going to be expensive.

Once after inserting the sim I tried to add a new APN in the mobile networks settings in which I gave the name of the APN, port number, MCC, MNC code and then I tried to start the browser application for the streaming but it dint even open google home page for me. Is there any need of some other settings that I had missed out. Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: how to add a button widget to a custom ImageView.
it seems that similar question about Custom View and button has been
asked at the following thread.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/d2e84054373d1703/a2bdcf9d824c2cdf?lnk=gstq=Button+in+Custom+View#a2bdcf9d824c2cdf
I think that I have some workaround to it using XML. It is to call
Custom View in XML with all the required button. First you need to
create your View Constructor with AttributeSet, declare the XML with
the merge tag and call the Custom XML in it with the desire button
layout.
The rest is a business as usual, call setContentView
(R.layout.myCustomlayout); from myActivity in onCreate.
public class myView extends View{
public myView(Context context,AttributeSet attrs){
super(context,attrs);
}
}
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
merge

[android-developers] Re: How to create a Toast from a background operation?
From a user point of view, I don't think trying to display a toast from a non-UI background task makes much sense. Would you like your usage of the phone to be interrupted by random toasts appearing for no apparent reason? Notifications are there for that purpose instead. I'd suggest: - use toasts in response to immediate user interaction. - use notifications for information from background tasks. Using a notification, the user can just know that something happened and either ignore it, dismiss it or take care of it later. The user should have more details by looking at the notification area. As an added benefit clicking on the notification should bring one back to your app to get an update status view or something.

[android-developers] Suggestion about android.graphics.path for performance
Hi. Currently android.graphics.path is JNI. It has a good performance. Working well. But I think it need to be added more features to Path. It's like this: Path p = new Path(); p.load(stream); p.save(stream); The reason is simple. Imagine you want to load TrueType font and to build it up to Path for drawing. Now, you have to parse a TrueType font file every each time if you can't use path.load(). That means, you can't manage glyph cache with Path object. Not only Path, but there would be more (graphical) objects to be needed load()/save(). Of course, I tried to use ObjectInputStream. But it's too slow and it didn't work correctly. And critically Path data file is too big For example, to save Alphabet 'S' glyph require about 3KByte. It's useless. So I suggest Path.load(), save(). Please consider these features for next version of Android. Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

But I think it need to be added more features to Path. It's like this: Path p = new Path(); p.load(stream); p.save(stream); The reason is simple. Imagine you want to load TrueType font and to build it up to Path for drawing. Now, you have to parse a TrueType font file every each time if you can't use path.load(). That means, you can't manage glyph cache with Path object. Not only Path, but there would be more (graphical) objects to be needed load()/save(). Of course, I tried to use ObjectInputStream. But it's too slow and it didn't work correctly. And critically Path data file is too big For example, to save Alphabet 'S' glyph require about 3KByte. It's useless. So I suggest Path.load(), save(). Please consider these features for next version of Android.

[android-developers] Re: How to create a Toast from a background operation?
What you are describing is more or less the current workflow of the gmail email app: - they download regularly your new mails in the background - you do NOT see any notification nor toast whether emails were retrieved or failed to or anything. - you just get a status when you go back to the application itself. Think about it: - would I want to see a toast *each* time my cell is out of network? No. - would I want the device to spend time (and battery) displaying a toast when I'm not looking at it? No. The point (a) you described is exactly where you would not want to display a toast. Instead on that kind of app I'd like to see a small status icon or text that says: a/ failure to download, will retry in N minutes or b/ last time fetched N articles.

The service goes to sleep and an hour later it tries again. If the user didn't pay attention to the problem and the toast then that's fine. (b) The login fails, because the credentials are wrong. This is not recoverable and needs attention. I use a notification to inform the user about that. The notification leads the user to the login screen to correct the problem. Another attempt at downloading new articles can only be executed when the credentials are corrected.

Would you like your usage of the phone to be interrupted by random toasts appearing for no apparent reason? Notifications are there for that purpose instead. I'd suggest: - use toasts in response to immediate user interaction. - use notifications for information from background tasks. Using a notification, the user can just know that something happened and either ignore it, dismiss it or take care of it later. The user should have more details by looking at the notification area. As an added benefit clicking on the notification should bring one back to your app to get an update status view or something.

[android-developers] Re: Relationships among apps, tasks, and activities
Well, I DO think that Android documentation speaks about tasks and
their affinities, contrary to what I said previously :)
I defined a non-default value for the taskAffinity attribute of the
activity in question:
activity android:name=.SingleTaskActivity
android:label=ChildActivity:SingleTaskActivity
android:launchMode=singleTask
android:taskAffinity=com.robosoft.example.taskByIteself
/activity
and the activity gets to run in a separate task.
Both 'taskAffinity' and 'launchMode' are necessary if we want to have
an activity run in a separate task. Alternatively,
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK may be used in the intent, in case only
'taskAffinity' is mentioned in the manifest.
This is really interesting :)

[android-developers] Re: Relationships among apps, tasks, and activities
some more thoughts...
What I've said about taskAffinity and launchMode attributes, in
general, makes sense when the activities are in the same app since the
default value of taskAffinity will be set to the package name. When
the activities across apps activate one another, just the launch mode
value tells if the launched activity would be the root of the new
task. Again, this is because the package names of the apks would be
different.

[android-developers] How to change background on a Spinner?
I'm trying to figure out how to change the default white background from a spinner. I've tried a couple of things and looked around on this newsgroup and elsewhere online. There have been a few related questions, but I haven't deduced the answer yet (maybe I just didn't understand what I've read). Am I on the right track or waay off? Here is what I've got so far: spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner); ArrayAdapterString adapter = new ArrayAdapterString(this, R.layout.spinner_item, data); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_dropdown); spinner.setBackgroundDrawable(null); spinner.setAdapter(adapter); This does what you would expect - it hooks up the Spinner and spinner.setBackgroundDrawable(null) removes the background from the unfocused view. However, I can't figure out how to remove the white background shown when you click on the Spinner and it to pops up. I figured this might be possible by setting the background of the spinner_dropdown TextView by using an empty/transparent PNG as a background: TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:singleLine=true android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:background=@drawable/empty/ This does set the background of an individual row, but it seems there is another View wrapping all the rows that is drawing the white background. How can I eliminate or replace the default white background from the wrapping view? Or... have I misinterpreted the situation? Is there a preferred way to style a Spinner?

[android-developers] Re: URGENT - Retrieve User Data
This is an Android bug which has been discussed on this forum before. Unfortunately, you are screwed.

[android-developers] Re: Android 1.5 Early look problems
Jeff, is there a list of classes that are prohibited? Looks like TableLayout is also on the no-fly list. On Apr 17, 1:17 pm, Jeff Sharkey jshar...@android.com wrote: Yes, that's working as intended. There are unsolved issues with how to get EditText content back across PendingIntent boundaries, so we aren't allowing EditText in widgets for 1.5. We're looking for a way to solve this in future releases. As a workaround, you could link your widget to launch a Theme.Dialog activity that contains the EditText.

[android-developers] Re: AudioFlinger - many write blocked for log WARN messages
I see that AudioFlinger is some native base C++ library. Does anyone know what can be done about all these messages?

[android-developers] MediaRecorder setCamera function
Ok posted this several days ago but it appears to have been deleted. I am looking for clarification on the setCamera function. One would have assumed you could open a camera device and set it as the input device of the MediaRecorder. However this causes a crash because no matter what I do it tries to open a locked device. I have tried removing the line setsource and this causes all sorts of other issues, not the least of which being that no other set functions will work without that line. Would appreciate a description of exactly WHAT the setCamera function is for. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
this suuucks I can understand googles reasoning behind this but this is way to extreme. Why not make it so the user can decide if they want an app to be able to access these settings or not. Sure there are some apps out there that switched things on and off without the user knowing. But there are PLENTY more apps that did this with the user knowing why ruin it for everyone because of a few bad apples. There are a lot of smart people working for google surely they can come up with a better solution than this. Im going to be lost without powermanager. On Apr 24, 11:30 pm, nEx.Software justin.shapc...@gmail.com wrote: It's a good thing I copied and duplicated all of the private APIs I used into my own project. :) I understand though, guess I didn't realize that Power Manager was using private APIs. I still think there were better ways to handle this, such as those mentioned above. I'd gladly make the decision at install time to allow an app access to settings. I won't appreciate having to manually change settings all of the time.

Those of us who have paid for an app to toggle settings for us, specifically - Power Manager (which, by the way, is currently the 2nd most popular Paid Application), have thrown away our money since we will be prompted to allow changes for some of the settings every time the application wants to change them? Man, I am glad this app was only $0.99, otherwise I'd be really ticked off. Not to mention that I will not be able to conserve battery life as well as I do now, meaning that this effort to help users conserve battery life actually hurts me (and 10,000 - 50,000 other users who have purchased Power Manager).

The GPS hardware will only actually be powered up if someone is asking to get data from it 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. So it's really unfortunate that the explanation for the GPS setting reads: deselect to conserve battery, it gives every user I've discussed it with the impression that enabling the setting will drain their battery faster independently of what applications choose to do. This is enforced the absence of similar indications for other settings.
