Using Appwidgets, If we use TextView in layout provider xml then, we are able to set the text in Provider.java using remoteViews.setTextViewText() method.

[android-developers] Re: Use own map layer in Google Maps
What JavaScript error do you see? I get none. This is a Maps v3 demo app, it should work well with any modern browser. The v3 API doesn't have a tile layer yet but it does have an overlay method. I wrote the one used in the demo. It handles whole image overlays so if you can create a single image that contains all your data then it works well. The v2 API has tile overlays which may work better for your application. The v3 api is smaller and faster, better for mobile apps. -John Coryat On Jun 23, 5:25 pm, JP wrote: > Hi John, > > Thanks for your reply.

[android-developers] Re: Hide the virtual keyboard
Thanks Lexxuz. The solution you provided works only in the sense that it prevents the soft keyboard from revealing itself - but it is still a hack. Here's why: I have a hint in each of my text fields (EditText input fields). When I *press* into the fields (i.e. focus them), the hints disappear - whereas normally, the fields only disappear if something is *entered* (inputted). Also, when the field is emptied, the hints normally re-appear -- however, with the above solution they don't. Therefore, this solution is a kind of hack. It blows my mind that Google introduced this soft keyboard without any documentation about how to suppress it. If anyone out there has figured this out in a way that does not lose the usual functionality of the input fields, please reply. Google Android Engineers please help in this regard.

Not sure what you mean by "coordinate" in this context. 3. What do I need to do when I get the "Can't create handler inside > thread that has not called Looper.prepare()" message? You call Looper.prepare() before you create the Handler, then some time later you call Looper.loop() to start the message handling loop, exactly as done in the sample code at the top of http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Looper.html If you don't want your message processing to be done in that thread, create the Handler somewhere else (your main application thread for example). 4. How do I use LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates with Looper, > and why does this call require a Looper object? Because internally those updates are sent as Messages, so a Handler is needed to receive them, so you need a Looper to run the message loop. You don't *have* to specify a Looper, but in that case the calling thread must have a Looper. For example, you can call the non-Looper method from your app's main thread. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Trying to get my head around the specific ins/outs of the Looper object and how it interacts with Threads. Documentation is rather scant on this topic. This is one of those topics that is obvious to the Android core team, but to the rest of us, it's not so obvious. Can someone point us to better documentation or give a more complete account of Looper: 1. What is looper. 2. How does the Android phone use Looper to coordinate message handling? 3. What do I need to do when I get the "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()" message? 4. How do I use LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates with Looper, and why does this call require a Looper object? Please don't just reference the API documentation. I've been through that and it creates more questions than it answers. Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with createBitmap method
a 1024x1024 bitmap will be (IIRC) 4MB. Creating a few will likely
cause you to run out of memory. Use Bitmap.recycle to free up the

All log statements get written to the log file. If that weren't the
case, the Log.isLoggable call would be redundant.
This is more meaningful for something like:
if (Log.isLoggable("blah", Log.DEBUG)) {
Log.d("blah", "This " + i + " another " + thing + " xyzzy");
}
Here, the call to Log.isLoggable avoids allocating a StringBuilder and
performing several concatenation operations.

Interesting article, though some of the advice is C-specific. It did inspire one thought: have your instruction fetch call return the next 2 bytes. That way you're doing one method call and $C000 range check for every two bytes, instead of one per byte. If the address is in the I/O range, call over to the generic get-byte-from- memory function. You'd end up with slower execution (or duplicated code) for handling the bank-switched ROM area though. Interpreter loops do tend to be massive switch statements though.

You're on a mobile device emulating a Dalvik machine emulating a 6502. A JIT will help, but only if it aggressively inlines methods -- you're losing a lot to method call overhead.

[android-developers] use multiple files to store string values
Hi, Is it possible to store strings values in multiple files? Eg, strings.xml, strings1.xml, strings2.xml etc. I do not mean localized versions of the same file - those multiple files should contain different string ids in the same language, so in code they would be refered like: R.strings1.my_string_1 R.strings1.my_string_2 R.strings2.my_string_3 etc. So, "strings1", "strings2", "strings3" would be a kind of namespace for them. Or, another way is to have multiple R classes inside one project, which would deal with different stringsXXX.xml files. Like, currently we can refer to "my.name.space.R" and to "android.R" at the same time, so is it possible to have: android.R my.name.space1.R my.name.space2.R etc at the same time inside single project? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Strange activity stack issue
Hi, I've come across a very annoying problem, which only seems to happen when I launch my app from eclipse for testing. If I launch it normally, it doesn't seem to have this problem. This is how I can reproduce it: - Launch app via Eclipse - Press Home - Relaunch app via icon - Click menu->exit which tells the Service to clean up and calls finish () when the Service finishes cleaning up For some reason, there seem to be two instances of the activity, one exits normally and the other one gains focus. Clicking exit does nothing since the Service has stopped but the Service variable is not null. Attempting to use the app launches errors since the resource it uses have been closed. I can force a close via the crash and relaunch the app, and it exits normally this time. As I said, it only happens when launching the app via Eclipse. Anyone know what could cause this? My launchMode is set to singleTask, however, that shouldn't cause an issue, I used that mode before. I tried calling finish() regardless of the state of the Service, but it doesn't seem to help. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: SensorListener and MediaPlayer (Audio)
You can just postpone calling reset() until playback is actually done (using
an OnCompletionListener), or until your application exits.

[android-developers] Re: Skype Lite Intent Mangement
Thanks, I actually have tried this already using the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW));
i.setComponent(
new ComponentName(
"com.skype.android.lite",
"com.skype.android.lite.SkypeActivity")
);
startActivity(i);
The above code executes the skype client and takes you directly to the
contacts list.
I'm wondering if I can pass parameters to it. Using the Log cat, I was
able to pull this information:
06-22 12:18:27.523: WARN/ActivityManager(58): Activity idle timeout
for HistoryRecord{436421f8 {com.skype.android.lite/
com.skype.android.lite.ChatScreen}}
So it looks like I can open the ChatScreen Activity - I also see a
local database stored on the phone.
I bet if i knew the values to populate it with I might be able to open
up SkypeChat through some intent hackery.
So far all I get are NPE and Security denial errors. So it might not
be possible, too bad Skype doesn't have a more responsive community of
developers.
You can open the Skype Lite application using the following:

[android-developers] Re: SensorListener and MediaPlayer (Audio)
Ahh... I think you nailed it.
Right before I checked back for a response, I put on some headphones and
heard the _start_ of the sound and then it got cut off.
Would you advise firing this playback off in a service? Is there a
recommended way of doing this?
Thanks,

MediaPlayer.start() only starts playback, it does not wait for
playback to complete, and so that call to reset() will cause playback
to stop, probably before any sound is played.

[android-developers] Catching ActivityNotFoundException
The JavaDoc of Context's public abstract void startActivity (Intent
intent) said:
This method throws ActivityNotFoundException if there was no Activity
found to run the given Intent.
But when I look at the android source code, it does not catch
ActivityNotFoundException.
For example in AlarmClock.java:
digitalClock.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (true) {
Intent intent = new
Intent(AlarmClock.this, SetAlarm.class);
intent.putExtra(Alarms.ID, id);
startActivityForResult(intent, SET_ALARM);
} else {
// TESTING: immediately pop alarm
Intent fireAlarm = new
Intent(AlarmClock.this, AlarmAlert.class);
fireAlarm.putExtra(Alarms.ID, id);
fireAlarm.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(fireAlarm);
}
}
});
Can you please tell me what is the code which handles the case when
there is no activity for that intent?
Thank you.

[android-developers] weird drawing on bitmap to canvas
hi, i'm trying to draw bitmap in canvas.
the bitmap is used to draw text and background using canvas (named
canvasBitmap)
but the text or background that are drown to bitmap is not displayed,
as if it's out of bounds.
i have to translate the canvasBitmap at some points to make it draw at
right position.
The problem is i don't know how many pixel i should translate to.
here's the code example:
public OnDraw(Canvas c){
Paint mBackgroundPaint = new Paint();
mBackgroundPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
String mText = "Testing";
Paint mFontPaint = new Paint();
mFontPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
//setting rect
Rect mBackgroundRect = new Rect();
mFontPaint.getTextBounds(mText, 0, mText.length(), mBackgroundRect);
//the bitmap to be drawn a text and backgroundRect
Bitmap mBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(mBackgroundRect.width(),
mBackgroundRect.height(),
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_);
Canvas mCanvasBitmap = new Canvas(mBitmap);
//draw text and background to bitmap
mCanvasBitmap.drawColor(Color.CYAN);
mCanvasBitmap.drawRect(mBackgroundRect, mBackgroundPaint);
mCanvasBitmap.drawText(mText, 0, 0, mFontPaint);
//draw bitmap to canvas
c.drawBitmap(mBitmap, 0, 0, null);
}
this will only drawn Cyan color, the text and red background is not
displayed
i have to translate for example :
mCanvasBitmap.translate(0, mBackgroundRect.height())
to make it displayed (but not 100% correctly position)
please help >.<

[android-developers] Skype Lite Intent Mangement
Does anyone know if it is possible to open up skype lite chat using
intents or some other API?
Suppose I wanted to create a short cut for a contact and I had their
skypename or skype id or skype email.
Would it be possible to do something like:
Intent i = new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("skype:ladiesman217?chat")
);
i.setComponent(
new ComponentName(
"com.skype.android.lite",
"com.skype.android.lite.SkypeActivity")
);
startActivity(i);
I've pinged the Skype developer community about this with no results,
has anyone had any lucky with this?

[android-developers] handling events (click, tap, touch) for map (mapview, mapactivity)
Hello, could anyone point me to some documentation or code on what's "the official" way to handle events on a mapview or within a mapactivity? I have searched around, there seem to be lots of questions regarding this issue, few answers, and every answer is different. As an example, I want to do something similar to the MyTracks application: on a touch on the map, the builtin zoomcontrols appear, panning still works, and in addition, other controls (the next/prev) buttons are shown. It seems I cannot achieve the desired effect using standard event handlers, e.g. I could not get it to work by setting an onClickListener or onTouchListener and implementing onClick()/onTouch (). What is not clear to me: - do I have to go directly to using overlays to achieve such an effect? I understood overlays are more intended to display data on maps, as opposed to controls? - do I have to subclass mapview or mapactivity or both? - is there a way without extending mapview, mapactivity and just employing the standard event handling interface?

[android-developers] SensorListener and MediaPlayer (Audio)
I'm developing an application that responds to certain accelerometer
events such as movements to the left or right when a certain delta is
reached. When these deltas are fired I want to play a sound with the
MediaPlayer.
I'm using the Sensor Simulator by Open Intents to simulate sensor
events. I have the code set up, and I also have some basic
android.util.Log.e(...) statements telling me when these events are
fired. When I simulate the sensor, my deltas are met and my log
statements are output to LogCat. Therefore I know this is working.
However, I now want to play an audio resource file (mp3).
I added a method inside of the SensorListener definition called
PlayMedia(). This simply does the following:
private void PlayMedia()
{
if(mp != null)
{
android.util.Log.e("test","mp is not null,
cleaning up!");
if(mp.isPlaying())
{
android.util.Log.e("test","Stopping the
mp!");
mp.stop();
}
}
// is not playing.
android.util.Log.e("test","creating a new mp");
mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext
(),com.MyCompany.Apps.MyApp.R.raw.mySound);
android.util.Log.e("test","Start the sound");
mp.start();
mp.reset();
}
However, when I calll this, no sound ever happens. The log messages
are output into LogCat. Therefore the code is making it into the
method, yet no sound is being output.
The odd thing is, I opened the ApiDemos and rand the Media demos and
they worked perfectly. The resource apidemo worked and played the
sound in the emulator. However, in my testing, I cannot get it to
play.
I've done the following: Moved the player code outside of the
sensorlistener into the activity and then called the PlayMedia() from
within the nested SensorListner, and it still doesnt work.
The only thing different in this code than in the ApiDemo is that my
MediaPlayer is inside of the SensorListener (as shown below). I also
use getApplicationContext() because in the ApiDemo's the example shows
"this" as it is inside of an Activity.
Why would the sound _not_ play? Its a 56kbps file. I've also taken the
same resource from the APiDemo's and tried to use that and still, no
dice.
I'm also noticing that I'm having to fully qualify my resources (R)
which is kind of odd. Anyone know why that would happen? Would that be
the cause? I've deleted, the gen folder and regnerated it a few times
and I still have to fully qualify my Resources. (I'm using Eclipse).
Does anyone know why this would not work?
Thanks,
Donn

[android-developers] Problem with createBitmap method
My application crashes after I try to use the static Bitmap
createBitmap method to get a mutable bitmap in order to fill it later
with data.
If I only create one 1024x1024 the application works just fine, but
when I try to load the same image more than once (first making my
object null in each round) my application crashes on my third or
fourth try.
eg
Bitmap mpBitmap = null;
void CreateBitmap(int nWidth, int nHeight)
{
if ( mpBitmap != null )
mpBitmap = null;
mpBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(nWidth, nHeight,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_);
}
I get the same result if I create a smaller image but then I need more
runs before the crash. In all cases my application works just fine if
I only create the image (even 1024x1024) once, then exit my
application and run it again.
If there is a need for "crash dump" I can provide one.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Iosif

[android-developers] Re: Calibration with the environment may improve the readings ?!
I haven't looked through the source for the compass but there has to be a set() method that you can apply a positive or negative value to, possibly on tha app level. The compass is accurate enough so all you would really have to do is assign a set() method to a menu calibration option to allow the user to align with a standard compass and set the value that modifies the OSD compass alignment, similar to the bubble app and its calibration with the accelerometers.

[android-developers] How to add a new text language in my Android when not included?
How can i add a new text languaje not included as an option when writing a memo or text mesage in Android? Imagine you work for a multinational In Switzerland where you might speak in German and English, you live in a French speaking city and you are part of the huge comunity from Latin América (nearly 25% of Geneva's Market place speaks espanish)...you might write e-mails to your family and olde friends once in a while..but with Android you can't because that text language is not an option!!.. Using Android i'm surprise to find that i can ONLY switch between German, Italian, French, English and Portugues... When deciding in between the Apple aplication for the Iphone and Android i'm glad to see that apple let you switch between any single text language..from Chinese to greek, japanese or Espanish etc.. without restriction.. What if you are part of those 10 thousend Chinese working at ONU here?, or if your mother language is Sweedish? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] How to hang an outgoing call? (Revisited, Partly solved here)
Hi all,
I'm just doing an application that controls who to call and how many
rings let the call do. For example, to not wake up someone in the
morning we only do 3 tones...
I'm using the standard BroadcastReceiver method to stop the call from
going out.
I explain here for the people who want to do it, also.
[ Manifiest ]
1.- You need enough permissions:
To make calls and process outgoing calls.
2.- You need a broadcast receiver that catches the broadcast intent:
[ Code ]
3.- You controls who can call in the:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
}
4.- If you don't want to let any call go out you can:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
setResultData(null);
}
5.- Use the to get the call information.
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
for(Iterator
it=extras.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();)
{
String key = it.next();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, key);
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Value: " +
extras.getString(key));
}
BUT!
With this I can only censure calls, can't control how many time the
ring sounds.
the question is:
How can I delay a little bit the call cancellation?
I want to make it sound, for example, 3 seconds and then hang up.
Thank you all!

[android-developers] Porting RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to Android -- questions
Attempting to port RDP to Android ... saw someone had started this, Desktoid/Connectoid, but that effort seems to have stopped .. and I need this function immediately. I have initial screen image of the Desktop displayed (with some local Android GUI expert's help) on the Android as a Bitmap. There are several calls that RDP does which I can not find equivalents in the Android GUI. Those in the subject and others: drawGlyph, setClip, Cursor, IndexColorModel, etc. Just to get the initial image was not without considerable effort ... "little" things like which Bitmap.Config was used was key ... seems it requires Bitmap.Config.RGB_565 (others did not work, and without understanding as to why ?). Willing to partner with any experts out there to get this completed. Think it a very useful utility. Of course, we need to have real ENTERPRISE WPA (even iPhone has this out of the box) to really make this complete (instead of doing it on emulator only :-) Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

[android-developers] Google map does not work.
Hello all,
I'm new to android and need some help. I'm creating a basic Mapview
application which will display my current location on the google map.
Initially i had many doubts while creating the application, but thanks
to google archives that helped me to reach this point. I
have followed almost all the threads on the google site
but still unable to see my location on the google maps. It always
shows a white screen on the emulator with google image at the bottom.
Please help to make it work. From most of the threads I learn that we
need to sign our application with the correct fingerprint. I did so
but unsuccessful.
The following will explain the steps:
1. Using sdk version android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1
2. Created a new android application.
3. Signing the application:
a. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin>keytool.exe -list -alias
androiddebugkey -
keystore "D:\Profiles\fknq86\Local Settings\Application Data
\Android\debug.keyst
ore" -storepass android -keypass android
b. Certificate fingerprint (MD5):
75:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:33
where XX=some alpha numeric data
c. signing up for an Android Maps API key! using link
Sign Up for the Android Maps API - Android Maps API - Google Code
4. Code below: There are 2 applications 1. Find Me 2. ShowMyLoc.
FindMe has a button which directs it to ShowMyLoc (using Intent) to
show the location on the google maps. For simplicity sake i'm pasting
the code only for ShowMyLoc app.
//ShowMyLoc.java
Code:
package org.anddev.android.findme;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
public class ShowMyLoc extends MapActivity {
private Location myLocation;
protected MapView myMapView = null;
protected LocationManager myLocationManager = null;
protected MapController mapController;
@Override

[android-developers] onRecieve starting activity problem
Guys,
I would like to know the reason behind this behaviour.I have a
broadcast reciever and in onrecieve i am trying to start an
activity,however if i am not giving the flags it is giving an
exception .On declaring the flags it is working perfectly fine,why?
I was under the impression that onRecieve runs in the main UI thread
and we can launch an activity in onRecieve.Error given by the emulator
is self explanatory but still why do i need to create an activity in a
new task(only in onRecieve)?
onRecieve {
Intent intent4activity2 = new Intent
("android.intent.action.activity2");
//intent4activity2.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
arg0.startActivity(intent4activity2);
}
regards,
ani

[android-developers] Spinner to play sound.
Hi,
I am currently doing an application which will play a sound from a
selection via a spinner. I've tried many ways but I still cannot get
it to play a sound.
Here is my code for the constraints and spinner.
// List-based Constants
public static final int HAPPY = 0;
public static final int LAUGHTER = 1;
//code for spinner
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.SoundSpinner);
ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource
(
this, R.array.Sounds,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource
(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
s.setOnItemSelectedListener(OnItemSelectedListener);
Spinner.OnItemSelectedListener OnItemSelectedListerner
= new
OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent,
View v, int idNum,
long id) {
switch (idNum){
case HAPPY:
Music.play(this, R.raw.happy);
break;
case LAUGHTER:
Music.play(this,
R.raw.laughter);
break;
}
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView
arg0) {}
};
I know android's spinner does not respond to setOnItemClickListener.
However, when I changed it to onClick, I get confused with the code
and the application quits by itself when I run it on the emulator. Can
anyone help me? Thank you so much! (:

[android-developers] Build apk from command line
Hi, Is is possible to build apk with jar, Manifest.xml, and res directory? I've a jar file with one activity. Application which will use this jar can come from external. I'm not giving my jar file to the app developer. I would like to build an apk which includes my jar, application jar, application manifest and resources. According to this thread http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/11aa21996839cef5/9d3d978fdfcd48e9?hide_quotes=no, we can't include resources and manifest in a jar. My goal is to edit the manifest to list my activity (the one inside jar) and make it as a launcher activity, and build apk with application jar, resources and my jar. I understand ant needs other things like build.xml and project properties. Is there any other way to build apk from command line with jar, manifest, biuld.xml and resources?

[android-developers] help on video recording
I have tried a long time to recording video using 1.5's new API. I really could not make it work. Have you try it? Do you know any sample demo code for video recording ? Thanks!
