[android-developers] Re: How to set minimum value for SeekBar?

[Keith Wiley]

My solution in similar situations has been to set the seekbar max to
the required range, not the true max, then to perform a mapping
between seekbar values and underlying variables by adding/subtracting
the minimum during transformation.  Of course, one step further in
extrapolation would demonstrate that it isn't even a requirement that
the seekbar's range match the underlying variable.  You can map it
anyway you want by using a scalar coefficient in addition to the
aforementioned shift.

Good luck.

Is there a methodology for pushing out new versions of appstore apps
to customers in Android/or via the appstore? Or is this something each

ImageManager is not part of the SDK. It is a class within the Camera
application.

[android-developers] Understanding MenuCallback code

[Daniel Dreiberg]

Hi,
I see this example of MenuCallback code, but i don't understand where is the
reference 'ImageManager.IImage image' comes from?
How is that image get created and passed it to MemuCallback?

  MenuItem item1 = menu.add(IMAGE_SAVING_ITEM, MENU_IMAGE_SHARE, 10,

R.string.camera_share).setOnMenuItemClickListener(

new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {

public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {

onInvoke.run(new MenuCallback() {

public void run(Uri u, ImageManager.IImage image) {

  //

}

}

});



Thank you.

You need one or more activities with the following  in
their manifest:






If you on Android 1.5, and you already have that intent filter, and you
still do not see your icon, and you may already have an application
installed that shares the same Java package (e.g.,
package="com.commonsware.android.foo" in your  element), try
removing the earlier application and re-installing the new one. You
cannot have two applications installed with the same package. In Android
1.1 and earlier, the new one would overwrite the old one -- not anymore.

[android-developers] Re: incomingNumber -> contact name - What is the right way?

[Doug]

Wow! Turns out the query code in ContactsProvider does pretty much
what I thought... it uses the Sqlite 'glob' operator, which is like
'like' (but uses '*' as wild-card... which is strange, since phone
numbers could conceivably have *'s and #'s in them).
Both GLOB and LIKE in Sqlite don't let you start a string with the
wildcard character - hence the reversal.

* When a phone number is inserted the "NUMBER_KEY" column is inserted
as a stripped and reversed copy of 'NUMBER'.
* The query the phone does when you get an incoming call appears based
on the "Contacts.Phones.CONTACT_FILTER_URI" - so...
Cursor c = resolver.query(Uri.withAppendedPath
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, number));

should get you the same results as the phone gets on an incoming call.

As for "so_is"'s comment - yeah, they seem to set the key when a
record is created, but never seem to bother updating it.
Should be easy enough to verify - create a contact with phone number
"X", then edit the phone number to be "Y" - call the number (or have
them call you) and see if the contact info appears... if it does - we
have more digging to do.

[android-developers] Re: File System Root '/' name has extra characters?!

[Urs Grob]

The problem seems to be an error in porting the native code from harmony to
android. In harmony there's a method that should return a string where the
roots are null separated and a second null at the end.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/harmony/enhanced/classlib/trunk/modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/shared/file.c?view=co
(method
Java_java_io_File_rootsImpl)

It
seems like the android implementation just creates such a string but fails
to process it correctly (which would get rid of the garbage at the end).

[android-developers] Re: incomingNumber -> contact name - What is the right way?

[Doug]

I did some experimentation yesterday on just this topic.

For a start, it was easy enough to just throw a non-specific query at
the People provider and get back the values for the columns I was
interested in.
I don't know why, but I found that the "NUMBER_KEY" column has the
original phone number, unformatted, but ***reversed***.
So, 800-123-4567 (which is what you'd find in NUMBER column) would be
present as "7654321008" in the NUMBER_KEY column.

My only guess is that someone did some research and found that using
"NUMBER_KEY like '7654321008%' "performed better than "NUMBER_KEY like
'%8001234567' "  (in cases where the phone number stored for the
contact has extra digits - i.e. "+1").  (I really don't know - just
trying to rationalize why it could be backwards)

[android-developers] expandlistview user selection detection?

Hi,
How do I handle the selection in an expandablelistview?  I have tried
using both the setOnItemClickListener  and the
setOnItemSelectedListener and neither seems to fire when I click
either the parent or child level elements.

Thanks,

SimpleExpandableListAdapter  mAdapter = new SimpleExpandableListAdapter
( ...

  lvE.setAdapter(mAdapter);

   lvE.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parentView, View
childView, int position, long id) {

[android-developers] Re: how can i launch the intent to pick image from SD card?

[Mark]

I think you might want something like this:

// start the image picker activity - the 999 is just a unique request
code
startActivityForResult( new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
  android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI),
999);

at this point, the Gallery app will start and your app will pause

To get the results (the selected image):

// meanwhile, back in your activity...
protected final void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int
resultCode, final Intent i) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, i);

  // this matches the request code in the above call
  if (requestCode == 999) {
Uri _uri = i.getData();

// this will be null if no image was selected...
if (_uri != null) {
  // now we get the path to the image file
  cursor = getContentResolver().query(_uri, new String[]
{ android.provider.MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA },
  null, null, null);
  cursor.moveToFirst();
  String imageFilePath = cursor.getString(0);
  cursor.close();
}
  }


this will give you the absolute path to the selected image file.

Ok, I am using GPS on Google maps, and this is my onPause. Am I

Then eventually it does :
GPSLocationProvider state: DISCONNECTED apnName: null reason: null.

Am I missing something?

[android-developers] js painfully slow on 1.5

[skink]

hi,

i heard somewhere that cupcake has brand new, very fast javascript
engine.

recently i tried to use jquery and in my opinion it's not fast: i
tried local (stored in assets folder) version of smallest possible i
could get (packed v1.1.2) and it seems that loading it takes ~5sec.
this is when i run it on the emulator.

maybe g1 works better, could anybody, please, check it out?

thanks,
pskink

You could try getDownTime() and getEventTime() on the KeyEvent.

[android-developers] How to know how long the key is pressed?

[patpat]

here is my code

public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{ Message m = new Message();
m.what = theGamev2.REDRAW;

switch(keyCode)
{ case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER:
releaseTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
this.mBall.createNewCircle(pointerCurrentXCoord, 30, ((int)
(releaseTime - pressTime))/10);
break;
default:
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}


this.mBallUpdateHandler.sendMessage(m);
return true;
}

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
Message m = new Message();
m.what = theGamev2.POINTER;

switch(keyCode){
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER:
pressTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
break;
default:
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

this.mBallUpdateHandler.sendMessage(m);
return true;
}




i am using system time here to get the differencebut it doesnt
work like the way i want..
i wonder is there method or concept to know how long the key is
pressed??
Please give me an example if u have a way to do it...Thanks a lot.

[android-developers] Checking the Hardware (Phone model) programatically

[Gavin Aiken]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a way of finding the hardware on which the
Android software stack is currently running. Specifically I'd be interested
to get the processor on which the application is being run so that I can
adjust the intensity of calculations performed.

Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Re: How to force hierarchy change to PreferenceActivity?

[Jason Parekh]

The preference framework will refresh the UI when a preference has a
UI-visible attribute changed, for example the summary.  So, you can just do
myPreference.setSummary(myPreference.getValue()) (assuming you want to show
the selected item as the summary of the preference).

Either a bug report (http://b.android.com) or a patch would help increase
the odds that the change gets made.

There is no onTerminate() in services. There is onDestroy(), which is
called using the same rules as onDestroy() with activities -- it probably
gets called, but it cannot be assured.

The only time your process will be terminated forcefully, AFAIK, is if the
device needs RAM in a hurry to handle a phone call or similar system
events, or possibly if the user is powering down the phone.

Moreover, bear in mind:

-- SQLite is transactional, and so should survive process termination
mid-transaction...assuming you are using your transactions properly

-- There are other scenarios in which things can terminate mid-transaction
(e.g., battery dies)

I am interpreting this to mean "how do I access emails saved on the device".

Option #1: Write your own email client and convince users to use it, as
then it is your own database.

Option #2: Work with the K9 team to integrate whatever you are looking to
do with their email client.

Option #3: Submit patches to the Android open source project to expose
email messages via a ContentProvider. In this case, be prepared to answer
a lot of questions regarding privacy and security.

[android-developers] Cannot get Log.isLoggable working as documented

[westmeadboy]

This is a very simple problem and I've searched to find that no one
else seems to be having it, anyway...

My code is something like:

if (Log.isLoggable("mytag", Log.DEBUG)) {
Log.d("mytag", "Logged at debug level");
}

The documentation says that by default logging is enabled at INFO
level. This appears to be correct, since the above IF condition
evaluates to false. Also, replacing Log.DEBUG with Log.INFO, means it
evaluates to true as expected.

However, if we remove the if statement then shouldnt the Log.d()
statement do nothing?

Next, when I follow either of the two documented methods for changing
the default logging level neither of them work:

1. I open up a terminal (through Dev Tools) and type "setprops
log.tag.mytag DEBUG". Then I debug my app (through eclipse) and the
isLoggable call above is still evaluating to false

Side question: What is the lifespan of that setprops call?

2. I placed a new file called "local.prop" in the /data folder. The
file contains one line: "log.tag.mytag=DEBUG".

Side question: The documentation says to place the "local.prop" file
in "/data/local.prop" which is not clear. I assume it does NOT mean
create a folder called "local.prop" and place a "local.prop" file in
that folder.

So neither of those work for me. What am I doing wrong? Is eclipse
somehow overriding my settings?

[android-developers] Scrollview and GestureDetector

[SurtaX]

I'm making sort of a book app. I have the text displayed as a textview
in a scrollview:

XML:

  
  



I then have

Java:
   private GestureDetector gestureScanner;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

gestureScanner = new GestureDetector(this);
   }


And implemented the required following to catch a left fling or right
fling. And

Java:
   @Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me)
{
 return gestureScanner.onTouchEvent(me);
}

public boolean onDown(MotionEvent e)
{
 return true;
}

public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float
velocityX, float velocityY)
{
 if(velocityX >= 1500){
  nextChapter();
 }
 if(velocityX <= -1500){
previousChapter();
 }
 return true;
}

public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e)
{
}

public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float
distanceX, float distanceY)
{
 return true;
}

public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e)
{
}

public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e)
{
 return true;
}


This works fine if the text inside the textview is small (ie. there is
no scroll bar as it all fits within the view). But as soon as the text
requires scrolling, the gesture is no longer picked up by the
detector. onFling is never called.

I have read that it is because scrollview handles its own gestueres?
If so what is the easiest way to maintain the ability to scroll up and
down the text, and also be able to detect flinging left or right and
invoking nextChapter() and previousChapter() respectively?

THanks alot for your time.

Cheers,
SurtaX

[android-developers] Re: How to tell when application exits?

[Saurav Mukherjee]

i have a round about solution:

if u need the application to exit, call system.exit..
so now u know wen its gonna exits and hence now u can write the program
accordingly... (wat u wanna do wen the system exits)

but please do tell me if there is a straight forward way!

cheers.

You don't need to set files executable to launch them, you can launch them
indirectly via the sh binary.

If you are talking about the HTC Magic, no idea, but it isn't going to be
labelled the G2 when T-Mobile starts selling it, try looking about on the
XDA forum.

[android-developers] Re: Google Data APIs Client Libraries

[Sujay Krishna Suresh]

I also tried using it... But according to one of the developers its not
usable in android (or any other mob platform)
if u jus need a lil data from google then try this...

This piece of code prints all methods in the class & invokes the static
method getAccount...
try {
  for (Method ele :
Class.forName("com.google.android.googlelogin.GoogleLoginServiceHelper").getMethods())
{
  System.out.println(ele.toString());
  try {
  if(ele.getName().equals("getAccount"))
  ele.invoke(null, this, 123, true);
  } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  }
  }
  } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  }

  } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
  }

& jus place the foll code in ur onactivityresult
if (requestCode == 123) {
  System.out.println(resultCode);
  String key = "accounts";
  System.out.println(key + ":" +
Arrays.toString(data.getExtras().getStringArray(key)));
  String accounts[] = data.getExtras().getStringArray(key);
  if (accounts[0] != null)
  usernameText.setText("You are : " + accounts[0].replace("@gmail.com",
""));
 }
in the logcat/ddms o/p u'll be able to see that there are other useful
methods...
public static void com.google.android.
googlelogin.GoogleLoginServiceHelper.getCredentials(android.app.Activity,int,android.os.Bundle,java.lang.String,java.lang.String,boolean)
public static void
com.google.android.googlelogin.GoogleLoginServiceHelper.getCredentials(android.app.Activity,int,android.os.Bundle,boolean,java.lang.String,boolean)
public static void
com.google.android.googlelogin.GoogleLoginServiceHelper.invalidateAuthToken(android.app.Activity,int,java.lang.String)

N wats the service that u wanna use???
