Hi Mu,
you can download the  latest Android1.5 source code, and go to
\packages\apps\Contacts to change Contacts source code.

[android-developers] Android Dev Phone 1 out of stock

[kenpark]

Hej.

Yesterday I registered in the Android Market Place to be able to
retrieve one of the dev devices. But after I had registered and paid
the fee I was told that the dev phones are currently out of stock.
Since I need one of those devices for my masterthesis I was very
unhappy to hear that it may take a few weeks.

Does anyone know (or can one estimate) when they might be available
again?

[android-developers] .android folder created in incorrect location on Vista

[westmeadboy]

When I do this in Vista:

android create avd -n android1.5 -t 2

the .android folder is placed at d:\.android.

However, the documentation states:

iBy default, the android tool creates the AVD directory inside
~/.android/avd/ (on Linux/Mac), C:\Documents and Settings\user
\.android\ on Windows XP, and C:\Users\user\.android\ on Windows
Vista./i

So something is clearly going wrong.

I assume its because I have relocated most of my special folders like
Desktop and Documents to the d:\ drive.

   No, the only responses you will get is from people other than Google

   lambasting, you would notice that it is from a T-Mobile employee.

   It seems curious that you seem to have made the same error that you are
   complaining about -- not completely reading the email. It's almost as if
   making mistakes were, like, human or something.

   Of course, it is also curious that you appear to think this is an
   end-user tech support forum (which it is not) and that it is Google's
   primary responsibility to respond to you here (which it is not).

   But I digress.

No status updates or responses on the bug report from 7+ months ago.

   Please point out the official public bug trackers for Windows Mobile,
   Blackberry, iPhone, and Palm WebOS. I'm not even sure there's one up for
   Symbian, and they're at least on the road to open source.

   Please point out where you get detailed, bug-level information months in
   advance of product releases for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, iPhone, Palm
   WebOS, and Symbian.

   Please point out how you -- whether via your own engineering efforts, or
   by hiring somebody, or by collecting interested people to raise money to
   hire somebody -- have a chance to fix bugs in Windows Mobile,
   Blackberry, iPhone, or Palm WebOS, as you can with Android. I'll give
   Symbian a mulligan here, since they're in progress on this issue.

   Had this same bug, or an equivalent one, affected you on one of these
   other platforms, the best-case scenario is that, after sitting in
   indefinite tech support queues, you would be told it is a bug and it may
   get fixed someday. Here, not only were you able to file the bug report
   without much effort (albeit with no better of a response), but you have
   options for spearheading a fix, which you lack with any other
   commercial-grade smartphone platform.

   Now, you may not elect to use any of those options to accelerate a fix,
   but that's your decision, not Google's. Regardless, you are no worse off
   than you would have been with any other platform with the same sort of
  bug.

   If you want to whine about how Android has bugs, be my guest, just don't
   whine about the lack of response, since that's all you'll get from
  anyone.

   Note: once Symbian gets a-rollin' in earnest on the open source front,
   the bar for Google and Android may get raised a fair bit, but we're not
   there yet.

[android-developers] Re: .android folder created in incorrect location on Vista

[mjc147]

When I do:

android list avds

it correctly shows the avd I have just created.

However, if I try to run the emulator then the avd cannot be found.

My workaround for this is to copy the d:\.android folder to C:\Users
\user\.android

In short, it looks as though the emulator and the android command are
using different logic to work out the default .android location.

TabHost and TabWidget do not offer a vertical layout.

You are welcome to render your own, either by cloning the existing tab
framework, or perhaps using ViewFlipper to manage the contents of the tabs
while you draw the tabs themselves.

 No . Multiple inheritance is not supported in java and there is no

 MapActivity

[android-developers] sending / receiving custom broadcast intent

[Bart van Wissen]

I'm building a service that sends a broadcast intent when some value
changes.
The service sends the broadcast like this:

Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent();
broadcastIntent.setAction(nl.vu.contextframework.NEWREADING);
broadcastIntent.setData(Uri.parse(context://+cer.getKey()));
broadcastIntent.putExtra(reading,cer);
broadcastIntent.addCategory(nl.vu.contextframework.CONTEXT);
sendBroadcast(broadcastIntent);


In some Activity (in a different process), I'm tryint to receive this
broadcast as follows:


IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addDataScheme(context);
intentFilter.addCategory(CATEGORY_CONTEXT);

registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG,Received intent +intent);
  }
}, intentFilter);


The intent is never received though. What am I doing wrong? Does my
intentfilter not match the intent?

  Could it be that I'm using a non-existent scheme?
  I invented context:// myself, maybe this is not a good idea?

 In theory that should work, though I haven't tried it myself.

 I take an Occam's Razor approach to intents and filters: they should be as
 simple as possible, but no simpler.

 In your case, unless you are creating a content provider, I don't know the
 value of your inventing schemes and using setData(). Just put the values
 you need in the extras and filter on your action.


I'm using the data because it allows me to receive only updates to
specific keys by including them in the IntentFilter. Many of these
intents may be fired and different applications may want to filter
most of them out.

Anyway, just to see if it helps, I tried not using the data and
putting everything in the extras:

Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent();
broadcastIntent.setAction(nl.vu.contextframework.NEWREADING);
broadcastIntent.putExtra(reading,cer);
broadcastIntent.putExtra(key, cer.getKey());
broadcastIntent.addCategory(nl.vu.contextframework.CONTEXT);
sendBroadcast(broadcastIntent);


and in the activity:

IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addCategory(CATEGORY_CONTEXT);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG,Received intent +intent);
  }
}, intentFilter);


But I'm still not receiving anything.

[android-developers] Re: sending / receiving custom broadcast intent

[Mark Murphy]

Try:

-- commenting out your category in both the intent and filter
-- having your intent filter watch for just the action

If that does not work, you have more fundamental problems (e.g., your
broadcast receiver is getting unregistered before you can use it).

If that does work, you now have a basis for slowly trying to morph your
Intent and IntentFilter to what you want.

Maybe I can find some clever way to do this in the background while the

[android-developers] AnimationDrawable with custom Drawables

[nkijak]

I'm trying to draw a gauge on the screen with information from
various sensors.  I have a class that extends Drawable and a custom
view that during construction creates a new AnimationDrawable and sets
the only frame to my custom Drawable.  I then start the
AnimationDrawable from my Activity onWindowFocusChanged method.  My
custom Drawable onDraw method is only called once though.  Is that by
design (as in onDraw is called for each frame once and it's cached and
shown over and over) or am I doing something wrong?

[code from custom view's constructor]
_gaugeAnimation = new AnimationDrawable();
_gaugeAnimation.setOneShot(false);
setBackgroundDrawable(_gaugeAnimation);

GaugeDrawable gauge = new GaugeDrawable();
gauge.setTargetValue(100);
_gaugeAnimation.addFrame(gauge, 500);
_gaugeAnimation.setVisible(true, false);

[android-developers] Re: AnimationDrawable with custom Drawables

[nkijak]

In testing my cached theory, I discovered that you need to have at
least two frames for the animation to continuously loop.  When I added
the gauge object again onDraw was continuously called.  That makes me
think that I should be using something else for what I'm doing.

I'm basically making a drawn speedometer getting speeds from the GPS.
Each time the GPS updates I want to perform a smooth animation to the
change in speed.  I thought I could create a Drawable that contained
it's current value and a target value, then add it to an animation
that would take care of calling onDraw continuously until the current
and target matched.  Is there a better way?

[android-developers] Re: Handling a layout ...

[Emre A. Yavuz]

Mark,

 

You can, but then the child is already added to the parent; you do not need to 
add it yourself.

 

I agree with you, but if you're not going to store this info in the layout, the 
only option left seem to be refering it using its  R.drawable.childview. How 
can you convert this, an integer, to a View then ? Should I create an ImageView 
variable and use its setImageresource() method ? I have just thought of this 
now and I haven't tried it yet, but will there be a casting problem in that 
case ?

 

The DDMS perspective in Eclipse doesn't tell me anything at all. I get a 
message from the emulator saying that the application has stopped working.

 Correct.
 
  The problem occurs when you call addView() to add the child view to the

 You need to look at the Java stack trace, to see the error message and
 where it occurred. The stack trace is in LogCat, accessible via adb
 logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse.

Hi, All,

Then, I fetched all the source of Android, make, run the image, at

However, after I click on it, just a blank creen splash, and nothing
come out.
Then I try to reinstall the Calendar.apk, but was told that Failure

So I want uninstall it. After adb shell, I found nothing in /data/app,
nothing to remove.

I am totally lost. I just want to run the Calendar. Could anyone help

[android-developers] problems with Phone.apk built from source

[Ed]

Hello,

I built Phone.apk from the source code, and the resulting application
could not find a carrier. I suspect that there are specific target
builds required here (note that I DID add TARGET_PRODUCT :=
htc_dream as required to the Makefile), but there are no other
vendors available under the Vendor folder in the source (i.e., T-
Mobile, etc).

Am I off base? Should Phone.apk be able to work on our HTC dream
phones without additional modifications?

Thanks very much for your help,

Yes. Then you need to add that to some parent layout via addView() as

 but will there be a casting problem in that case ?

I do not understand this question.

The DDMS perspective contains a panel(?) called LogCat, which will give
you a stack trace when an exception occurs.

[android-developers] MapView + ZoomControl = Should it work like in Google Map App ??

[Piwai]

Hi !

I am currently working with this great Google Maps API.

The MapView Javadoc says that we should not use getZoomControls (which
is deprecated), but rather setBuiltInZoomControls instead.

I think the idea behind this change is to have all Google Maps based
applications to behave the same way, so that users don't get lost.

However, the really weird thing about this is that Google Maps
application doesn't behave the same way:

On a MapView, the zoom controls are big, in the center. They appear
when the user tap the screen, and disappear after a while.
In Google Maps, the zoom controls are smaller, on the left corner, and
never disappear.

Why is that ?

In fact, I think Google Maps approach is actually better when you
have maps with a lot of content in overlays. If you have a map full
of items that react when you tap on them (for instance by showing a
dialog box), there is no way to show the zoom controls without
actually tapping on an item.

I guess that's were the displayZoomControls method comes in the game:
one could provide a menu item that would show the ZoomControls on
request, for some time.

But this behavior is kind of strange: a user would try to find
somewhere in the map with no item, try to tap, tap on an item
unintentionally, see a dialog shown that he didn't ask for, press
back, then press menu and finally hit the show zoom controls
button...

What do you think is the best for the user ?

Regards,
Piwaï

[android-developers] Re: Clickable ListView element?

[eags]

The only problem is there is a strange bug with the CheckBox that I
can't figure out.  Even though bindView works correctly to get the
information from each alarm and fill out the different pieces of my
inflated list item view, it doesn't work for the checkbox.  The
behavior is really really strange where it seems like the same
OnCheckedChangedListener object is being associated with several
different list items.

What I see is that if I change the enabled state by either clicking on
the CheckBox or by opening the edit dialog and changing the state
there, the state is changed for several of the different items
simultaneously.  Sometimes several will change at once but the one I
checked *doesn't* change.  I really don't get what is going on here.
I wonder if the ListView has some special behavior with regard to
CheckBoxes that I'm not aware of that I am messing up because I don't
know about it.

Anyway, if anyone has any insight into this problem and could throw me
a clue that would be very helpful as I'm totally confused myself.

[android-developers] onStart() not called when a service is restarted after, being killed?

[Michael Elsdörfer]

I have a service that needs to hold a persistent TCP connection, think
IM. I'm reluctant to use setForeground() - the service being down
temporarily isn't that big a deal, and I am assume I can trust that
I'll be run again once memory is available, correct?

The problem here is this. The service was started via startService()
before being killed. However, when it is restarted, only onCreate() is
executed. This makes it hard to continue, because starting work
onCreate() means I can't even bind to the service (to say query it's
status) without it doing so.

Is this a bug or per design? What is the status of the service after
it is being restarted? Is it consider started by the system, i.e.
waiting for a call to stopService()?

[android-developers] Re: Clickable ListView element?

[eags]

I figured this out also.  Chalk it up to me being a total rookie with
gui programming.  The issue is that the list items get reused and I
was calling setChecked from within my bindView code *before* setting
the OnCheckedChangeListener.  During startup it doesn't really matter
because the list items are all being created for the first time and
there are no registered listeners.  However on subsequent rebindings,
the old listener is still associated with the view and when I call
setChecked... all hell breaks loose.  So the key was simply to set the
callback before calling setChecked.  Also I was calling setChecked
within the callback and calling notifyDataSetChanged which were just
causing more iterations through this loop and more craziness.  Anyway,
here is the working code:


// We need to be sure and register the new 
OnCheckedChangeListener
before
// we call setChecked because these views get reused 
and there
might still
// be old callbacks associated with previous alarm 
items which
causes very
// f-ed up behavior. (I know)
CheckBox enabledCheckBox = 
(CheckBox)alarmView.findViewById
(R.id.itemEnabledCheckBox);
enabledCheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new
OnCheckedChangeListener() {
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton 
buttonView, boolean
isChecked) {
item.setEnabled(isChecked);
dbAdapter.updateAlarm(item.getId(), 
item);
}
});
enabledCheckBox.setChecked(enabled);

 a clue that would be very helpful as I'm totally confused myself.

 Thanks.

[android-developers] POSIXLY_CORRECT env. var causes obtuse build error (Problem and suggested fix)

[Ehermit]

I wanted to document a build issue that I ran into -

Problem Summary: If you build Android with POSIXLY_CORRECT environment
variable set, the build fails (non fast) with an obtuse error message.
Developer workaround: Don't build with POSIXLY_CORRECT set!
-- In the Bash shell this means, 'unset POSIXLY_CORRECT '
As a new Android builder this one bit me the first time I tried to
compile Android.

I suggest a simple Build Fix: Prepend the following to build/core/
main.mk so that the build fails-fast with a more useful error message:

# Check that POSIXLY_CORRECT is not defined. Otherwise apriori tool
chokes on '--output' argument
ifdef POSIXLY_CORRECT
$(warning
)
$(warning *  unset POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable to build
Android!)
$(warning
)
$(error stopping)
endif

I also suggest adding a sentence to the introductory build instructions
(http://source.android.com/download). e.g. Although POSIXLY_CORRECT is
required to install the build environment on a MAC OSX, the build
system currently requires POSIXLY_CORRECT to be undefined when make-
ing Android.
This would be useful for new developers checking non-current branches
(e.g. cupcake)
--

Here's the original cryptic build error ... (well it was cryptic for
me because this was my first Android build attempt ... So there were
many potential causes)

target Prelink: libdl (out/target/product/generic/symbols/system/lib/
libdl.so)
build/tools/apriori/apriori.c(2100): Could not find [--output] in the
current directory or in any of the search paths!
make: *** [out/target/product/generic/symbols/system/lib/libdl.so]
Error 1

My guess at the root cause: apriori tool uses getopt_long  in build/
tools/apriori/cmdline.c. getopt_long changes its behavior if the
aforementioned env. variable is set (see man page). Perhaps the
calling code does not check for this?
man getopt_long extract:
 POSIXLY_CORRECT  If set, option processing stops when the first
non-option is found and a leading `-' or `+' in the optstring is
ignored.

Perhaps someone wants to 'fix' apriori to work correctly. Though I'm
not sure that's a good use of anyone's time!
Hope this note is useful.

Regards,
EHermit (Lawrence)

[android-developers] mysterious ant build error

[skink]

hi,

i have working eclipse project.

eclipse builder works just fine.

one of my class extends BaseAdapter:

...
import android.view.BaseAdapter;

class Foo extends BaseAdapter {
...
}

but when using ant i got 'undefined symbol BaseAdapter' error.

note that import was successful so i think classpath is ok.

when i changed to:
class Foo extends android.view.BaseAdapter {
...
}

ant also builds without errors...

anybody got such strange errors?

Hi Mark,

thanks for your answer.

I mean the cache that the users can delete themselves by going to
Settings -- Apps -- Manage Apps -- My App -- Clear Cache

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try it!

 You could try deleting the files from getCacheDir(), available on

 On the other hand, you did not specify whichcacheyou were concerned

[android-developers] Re: problems with Phone.apk built from source

[Dianne Hackborn]

Hi, this should probably be posted in android-platform, since I think we are
outside the bounds of the SDK here.  Also fwiw I don't think the high-level
phone app is carrier-dependent at all -- that is more in the realm of the
radio and RIL.

On Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Ed edmundcl...@gmail.com wrote:


 Hello,

 I built Phone.apk from the source code, and the resulting application
 could not find a carrier. I suspect that there are specific target
 builds required here (note that I DID add TARGET_PRODUCT :=
 htc_dream as required to the Makefile), but there are no other
 vendors available under the Vendor folder in the source (i.e., T-
 Mobile, etc).

 Am I off base? Should Phone.apk be able to work on our HTC dream
 phones without additional modifications?

 Thanks very much for your help,

I did once, but it was my own dumb fault. I got tripped up in Java
generics, and was redefining String to be the symbolic name of a generic
type, so all my references to what should have been java.lang.String
were failing if I didn't fully qualify them. Fixing the generics cleared
up the issue.

Overall, I've had annoyances with the Ant scripts starting with 1.5,
where I have to nuke the gen/ and bin/ directories from time to time,
mostly when I add new resources. You might try that and see if it helps.

[android-developers] Re: Clearing the cache of your app on exit

[Dianne Hackborn]

You generally shouldn't need to clear it, since the point of that is it
allows the system to delete those files to free up storage when needed.

That said, you do want to keep the amount of data in your cache at a
reasonable size rather than just throwing stuff in there and letting it grow
indefinitely.  The system should eventually get around to deleting your old
files, but everyone is happier if the app is keeping that under control.
This is not the same as deleting when your app exits though.

Hi,

Can you please tell me how can I make Gallery scrolls on TrackBall Event?
Right now, it scrolls when I 'fling' it? Can you please tell me how
can I do configure a Gallery to do the same (scrolls left/right) using
