I have an ArrayList connected to a ListView with an onclick event that
loads some extra info about each list item.

When the list fits inside the screen (no scrolling) it works fine,
however, when the list becomes long enought that I need to scroll I
get the Force Close message.

why is this?

Hi Lance!

Thanks for the links! Now it's working!
(And I learned something about thread save UI in Android)

Thanks again,
Anton

 There's a good blog post on ways to schedule work on the UI thread or
 communicate back to it here:
 http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/05/painless-threading.html

 There's also an example of communicating back to the UI thread called
 Example ProgressDialog with a second thread on this page:

 Hi android guys and girls!

 I have a really strange problem. I have an activity which displays a map
 and a marker with the users current location on that maps.

 Right now my code is something like this: (in onCreate of the activity)

 1) display a progress dialog with the text detecting your location,
 please wait...

 2) request location updates. (activity implements LocationListener)
 locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,
 (long)Constants.MIN_TIME, (float)Constants.MIN_DISTANCE, this);

 3) right after the line above i have following:
 timer.schedule(new GetLastLocation(this), 5000);
 which means: wait 5 sec and then call GetLastLocation().run()

 GetLastLocation looks like this:

 class GetLastLocation extends TimerTask {
 private SetupActivity parent;
 public GetLastLocation(SetupActivity act) {
 parent = act;
 }
 public void run() {
 removeDialog(DIALOG_GET_POSITION);
 parent.showMessage();
 }
 }

 So if 5 seconds pass by, i dismiss(remove) the dialog i displayed in 1)

 4) now i want to show an AlertDialog with the message could not find
 your location, taking the last known
 parent.showMessage() looks like this:
 public void showMessage() {
 Log.e(###, showMessage 1/2);
 showDialog(DIALOG_GET_POSITION);
 Log.e(###, showMessage 2/2);
 }

 and here the first log message showMessage 1/2 is printed to the log,
 but not the second one showMessage 2/2.
 And there is no exception and nothing that tells me what is wrong...

 Could someone please help me?
 Maybe there is a better way to get he location and if no location is
 delivered show a message!

 Thankful for every hint,
 Anton

Something I did not say - actually I forgot I even did it - is that I

parent) {
try {

if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)
getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate
(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, null);
}

String item = items.get(position);

 I am developing a slightly mission critical Android application, and

The best answer is: don't write it that way. Have it be a scheduled task
via AlarmManager. There are a vanishingly few number of services that
truly need to be running all of the time, and none of those can be
immortal anyway.

 It can't create a file there.

 You should either use your app's private data area (which has the
 advantage of getting cleaned up automatically when your app is
 uninstalled), or request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and
 use /sdcard.

In your getView() method, don't cast it to ListView, remove that and I

[android-developers] Re: MultiAutoCompleteTextView with simpler completion and without comma

The best way to do it will be to subclass the
MultiAutoCompleteTextView and override it's methods.

It has 3-4 methods which need to be over-ridden.

[android-developers] Re: idiot's guide to using layout:gravity?

RelativeLayouts are easy to use once you are comfortable with them. If
you still want to use LinearLayout, this will solve your problem.

LinearLayout
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content

LinearLayout
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
   android:layout_gravity=left

Button
android:id=@+id/auth_login_button
android:layout_height=50dip
android:layout_width=100dip
android:text=@string/auth_login_label
android:textColor=#ff
android:background=#ff
android:textStyle=bold
/
/LinearLayout

LinearLayout
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:layout_gravity=right

Button
android:id=@+id/auth_signup_button
android:layout_height=50dip
android:layout_width=100dip
android:text=@string/auth_signup_label
android:textColor=#ff
android:background=#ff
android:textStyle=bold
/
/LinearLayout
/LinearLayout


But if you use this, the UI Hierarchy will be very complex. As Mark
suggested, it is better to use a relative layout.

[android-developers] Re: app widget sizes for WVGA and FWVGA

not sure I follow you here --

T-Mobile G1/G2 has the following specs -
320px x 480px (pixels)
1.77 x 2.65 (inches)
which gives about 181 dpi.

according to this --
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html

4x1 widgets on T-Mobile G1 and G2 should be 320x100 in portrait
and 424x74 in landscape.

Motorola Droid has the following specs -
480px x 854px (pixels)
1.8 x 3.2 (inches)
which gives about 267 dpi.

4x1 widgets for both portrait and landscape on something like Droid
should be what?

According to what you said Multiply by 1.5

320*1.5 x 100*1.5 = 480 x 150 portrait
424*1.5 x 74*1.5 = 636 x 111 landscape

I can believe it for portrait, but for landscape, that doesn't seem
right.

[android-developers] help with AnalogClock widget - remoteview and appwidgetprovider

2009-11-01 Thread Zi Yong Chua

Hi guys,

I am trying to develop and AnalogClock widget on the home screen that
changes depending on the time of day. I am finding problems getting to
the right code to make it happen, and will hope to seek you help and
advise here.

1) Getting the dial resource in AnalogClock to change in code
I have been trying to get the AnalogClock in my widget XML file to
change based on the system time. However, I realized that
AppWidgetProvider do not support findViewbyID and i was trying to
figure out how to make use of remoteviews to change the AnalogClock
image. Any experts can enlighten me on this issue? Now I am
implementing another method, but it is very ugly.

2) Getting onUpdate to work in appwidgetprovider
I am trying to get the onUpdate to work and change the views on set
time, say at the start of every passing hour, at time zone change, at
time change etc. Anyone know how i can get started to make onUpdate
work for that purpose?

My code is below. Thanks guys. hope to learn from all of you.

Cheers
Zee

Re: [android-developers] Mystery Null Pointer Error - Seeking Opinions

2009-11-01 Thread Jason Van Anden

OK - for the record ... I think I have fixed this based upon what was going
on in line 377 (testing here that service is alive and passing false back if
not).

Thing is ... I am still perplexed as to why onPrepareOptionsMenu is getting
called in the first place. All that is occurring here is that the Activity
is coming back into the foreground. The menu button does not appear to have
been called.

Re: [android-developers] Re: app widget sizes for WVGA and FWVGA

2009-11-01 Thread Dianne Hackborn

Please read on screen density:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.htmlJust
scale your coordinates based on the screen density.  You can't assume some
specific size for some screen -- consider the possibilities, QVGA, HVGA,
WVGA, FWVGA all have different proportions.  And then a particular app may
use the screen differently, for example in the future home will probably
have some redesign so that on a FWVGA screen there is not such a difference
in proportion between its landscape and portrait layouts.

[android-developers] Re: Widget not displayed in Android 2.0 - Initial layout displayed only.

2009-11-01 Thread Derek

After investigations we've noticed that this problem occurs when you
create a new AVD with Google API 2.0 (level5) only.
On the first emulator launch with new AVD the widget stays on Initial
Layout.
Closing the emulator and restart with the same AVD seems to work.

What could be the problem ?

Adding analog clock widget works in any case.

Thanks.

 Anyone experiment this issue ?

[android-developers] Re: app widget sizes for WVGA and FWVGA

It seems that screen density alone is not sufficient to know what the
dimension should be; at some point aspect ratio has to come into
play.  For example, I could have a screen that is the same screen
density as a T-Mobile G1, but twice has tall (physical screen size;
and 2x as many pixels in that direction).  the 4x1 widget dimensions
in portrait would be fine as is, but when I went to landscape, the
width of my app widget would have to be much greater than 424 pixels
even though the screen density was the same.

and that's what is kind of happening with T-Mobile G1 and Motorola
Droid (at least it seems that way).

T-Mobile G1: 181dpi, aspect ratio in landscape is: 480/320 = 1.5
Motorola Droid: 267dpi, aspect ratio in landscape is: 854/480 = 1.78

If I just scaled everything up based on screen density, then Droid
should be: 267/181 = 1.475 scale factor.

If the aspect ratio of the phones were exactly the same, then i would
agree, you could just use the screen density scale factor.  But the
aspect ratios are not the same.

[android-developers] Problems with Bitmap.copy in Android 2.0

2009-11-01 Thread Klaus Kartou

Hi!

In our app we are adding a alpha channel to bitmaps without alpha channels
by doing this:

Bitmap dest = src.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_, true);

This has been working fine until Android 2.0. Now the dest bitmap is still
created, but without a alpha channel. This happens when using the default
HVGA skin .
If we run the exact same code in the emulator with a WQVGA400 it works fine
like usual.

Did anybody experience this too?

Cheers!

[android-developers] MediaPlayer.setDataSource() taking a long time when the screen is off...

i am trying to chase down a really unusual bug.

I have a media player object that is playing streaming url after
streaming url.

for some reason, when the screen is off, calling setDataSource() on
the media player can take a really long time (like 20-40 seconds).

however, when the screen is visible, I never see this issue.

I am wondering what could possibly be causing this call to take so
long...  I could envision prepare taking a long time, but
setDataSource() ??

Any ideas?

[android-developers] Could developers be liable for charges for using Google APIs?

2009-11-01 Thread davemac

I've been reading the Terms of Service for the Google APIs, both Maps
and AJAX APIs. I have questions regarding future consequences of using
these APIs in mobile apps that get distributed, hopefully, to many
thousands or millions of devices.

Both say that the services must be available for free, so I'm assuming
that means you cannot charge a fee for an Android app that uses these
services, unless you arrange something special with Google. Which
appears to be Google Maps API Premier, an advanced service that uses a
page-view-counter-based calculation to determine charges, and is not
cheap. Which pretty much says you'd need to charge a subscription fee
if you're going to charge at all. If you don't charge now and suddenly
get hit with a bill from Google, your free app must remain free
(according to Android Terms) so you're out of luck? I suppose it might
be possible to include a Terms of Service with the application that
says the user assumes all responsibility for any charges related to
use of the Google APIs, but that doesn't seem likely to succeed. I
think it would be difficult to manage. I also suppose that you could
ask Google to block requests that use your API key until you can get a
new version out with a fee attached.

Google also says they could charge for the use of the API in the
future. This is stated specifically in the AJAX APIs doc, and
indirectly in the Maps doc (Google can change the terms at any time).
Since the API key that is used when calling APIs belongs to the
Android developer, that tells me we could potentially be on the hook
for Google charges. The Terms say that we can decide to stop using the
APIs. Which is fairly easy when you're running a web site, much
different when your application is deployed to thousands or millions
of devices. Especially if you've distributed the application for free,
and with an expiration date as required of later than October 22,
2033.

I'm nervous now about using Google APIs in Android apps and wondered
if anyone else has thought about this. Should Google APIs be avoided?
At least until developers have some legal protection?

Re: [android-developers] top ListActivity destroyed just after a Search has been initiated from it - was: Back key after Search doesn't return to list in 2.0 as it did in all earlier versions

2009-11-01 Thread Jonas Petersson

Hi again,

Hmm, it seems even more strange to me: the onDestroy() method of the top 
ListActivity is actually called very shortly after the search has 
triggered the onCreate()+onResume() methods that creates the second 
level ListActivity (note that this is the actual same class as the top 
one, just producing a different result due to the SEARCH action).
Call Sequence:

top onCreate()
top onResume()
-- I press search and enter some text.
top onPause()
2nd onCreate()
2nd onResume()
top onDestroy()
-- This is before the second ListActivity is even displayed

So obviously, by the time I press back in the 2nd ListActivity, there is 
no top ListActivity to show. So the problem is not the Back key, but 
that some unknown force has destroyed the top activity...

Note: the code is still compiled with android:minSdkVersion=2 and the 
very same package executes as expected on previous versions. So perhaps 
I've always done something incorrectly, but up until now the result was 
what I expected. In some special cases I do in fact explicitly call 
finish() to force this very effect, but that does not happen in this 
situation.

I didn't notice anything explicitly related to this in the release 
notes, but perhaps there is something between the lines that I have not 
yet realized.

Advice appreciated / Jonas


Jonas Petersson wrote:
 Hi all,
 
 I experience something slightly confusing in the 2.0 emulators (tried 
 several variants):
 
 One of my apps is somewhat similar to Market in structure in that it is 
 a ListActivity that keeps creating new Intent(this, xxx.class); of 
 itself with various .putExtra(); that presents data in appropriate ways.
 In the Manifest there is also an intent-filter for action.SEARCH that 
 triggers onSearchRequested() and then onCreate() checks for 
 Intent.ACTION_SEARCH - pretty straight forward IMHO and it has also 
 worked exactly as intended up to and including 1.6 (where the new search 
 stuff seemed to integrate as expected).
 
 However, in 2.0 I don't get back to the previous ListActivity when I 
 have used the search key to show something and then press the Back key. 
 The back key takes yet another step back.
 
 Is this related to some other Back key issues I've seen mentioned here, 
 an intended new behaviour that I must handle differently in 2.0 or some 
 kind of bug that needs reporting. I don't have any kind if special key 
 listening going on at all.

 PS. Lack of account handling and hardware to test Bluetooth on really 
 makes the emulation testing a pain - I'd love a Moto Droid over here. 
 Any suggestions as to how I can get my hands on one soon would be much 
 appreciated...

5.4 says you can use it for commercial purpose

 I've been reading the Terms of Service for the Google APIs, both Maps
 and AJAX APIs. I have questions regarding future consequences of using
 these APIs in mobile apps that get distributed, hopefully, to many
 thousands or millions of devices.

 Both say that the services must be available for free, so I'm assuming
 that means you cannot charge a fee for an Android app that uses these
 services, unless you arrange something special with Google. Which
 appears to be Google Maps API Premier, an advanced service that uses a
 page-view-counter-based calculation to determine charges, and is not
 cheap. Which pretty much says you'd need to charge a subscription fee
 if you're going to charge at all. If you don't charge now and suddenly
 get hit with a bill from Google, your free app must remain free
 (according to Android Terms) so you're out of luck? I suppose it might
 be possible to include a Terms of Service with the application that
 says the user assumes all responsibility for any charges related to
 use of the Google APIs, but that doesn't seem likely to succeed. I
 think it would be difficult to manage. I also suppose that you could
 ask Google to block requests that use your API key until you can get a
 new version out with a fee attached.

 Google also says they could charge for the use of the API in the
 future. This is stated specifically in the AJAX APIs doc, and
 indirectly in the Maps doc (Google can change the terms at any time).
 Since the API key that is used when calling APIs belongs to the
 Android developer, that tells me we could potentially be on the hook
 for Google charges. The Terms say that we can decide to stop using the
 APIs. Which is fairly easy when you're running a web site, much
 different when your application is deployed to thousands or millions
 of devices. Especially if you've distributed the application for free,
 and with an expiration date as required of later than October 22,
 2033.

 I'm nervous now about using Google APIs in Android apps and wondered
 if anyone else has thought about this. Should Google APIs be avoided?
 At least until developers have some legal protection?

[android-developers] Speech Recognition

2009-11-01 Thread moa

I want to use the SR api to handle commands in my application. I know
at any given point in my application what the valid commands would be
at that point so would like to limit the results that the SR is
matched against.

For example, if the only valid commands were Yes or No I would
like to be able to restrict the SR to only try and match against those
two words. Otherwise on full vocabulary I get Snow and other false
words. Limiting the vocabulary should make matching 90%+ accurate on
limited words.

Is this possible?

Also, can I limit the SR to only match numerics for number input only?

The internal dialer seems to be able to do this sort of this, so can
I?

Not that I can tell from the RecognizerIntent options. Your only
constraints are free-form vs. Web search and what natural language to use.

 Also, can I limit the SR to only match numerics for number input only?

Again, not that I can tell from the RecognizerIntent options.

[android-developers] Handling different screen densities vs. app installed size?

2009-11-01 Thread Moto

My concern supporting different screen sizes, in this case with the
new DROID phone.

So my question, when installing my application on a G1 phone, would it
ignore all hdpi qualifier folders?

I ask this because I'm afraid that my application will grow in size
when installed containing many unnecessary files...

Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Re: IMPORTANT - display.getOrientation() does not work on all devices

2009-11-01 Thread Phy

Okay can I just summarise my problem as I believe it is an issue which
NEEDS to be addressed...

I have confirmation from five users who either have a HTC G1 or HTC
Magic who say my application works fine. However, I have had numerous
recent comments on the Market that the orientation of my applications
interface is rotated 90 degrees on G1/Magic devices.

I use this method to get the screen orientation:
getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

and remap the coordinate system as follows before drawing the
application interface:

if(screenOrientation == 1) {  // Portrait
  SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(R, SensorManager.AXIS_MINUS_Z,
SensorManager.AXIS_X, outR);
}
else { // All other send to Landscape
  SensorManager.remapCoordinateSystem(R, SensorManager.AXIS_X,
  SensorManager.AXIS_Z, outR);
}


How can this work fine on some phones and completely break on other
peoples phones which are the same make and model?

This is really disconcerting, and needs to be explained.

Hey Mark,

I have had one user contact me by email and he had the same issues
using the older version and the new version (using the orientation
code you supplied), so I can rule out that being the cause *I think*.

I *presume* it isn't a ROM issue as I have had 8-10 users leave
comments saying it doesn't work, in each comment they say recent
update doesn't solve the issue. I guess for most people it may work
and they dont bother leaving a message which says hey it works
instead its only the people having problems who post negative
comments.

I have tried every test case such as holding the phone in different
orientations when starting the activity and had no luck finding a bug
there, in fact I have wasted far too many hours on this.

[android-developers] Re: Could developers be liable for charges for using Google APIs?

2009-11-01 Thread davemac

I have to admit, embarrassedly, that I was looking at the wrong Maps
API Terms. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction regarding
Maps.

There is nothing in the Android Google Maps API Terms that says you
must make your applications free that use the Maps API. So paid apps
look okay, although there are some restrictions on exactly what type
of apps you can develop with the Maps API (see section 8.7). There's
still section 8.3 that says you can't sell the Service but I guess
that means we can't sell Google's service but we can sell our
applications that use the service.

My original post asked about the Google AJAX APIs as well. Is there an
Android equivalent to Maps for using those APIs as well? Is it even
acceptable to use a Google AJAX API from Android?

those in your valid commands set. Try the retainAll() method on
matches using your valid commands as the argument. You'll probably
either get one or zero elements left in matches every time. The same
thing should work for numbers.

 I want to use the SR api to handle commands in my application. I know
 at any given point in my application what the valid commands would be
 at that point so would like to limit the results that the SR is
 matched against.

 For example, if the only valid commands were Yes or No I would
 like to be able to restrict the SR to only try and match against those
 two words. Otherwise on full vocabulary I get Snow and other false
 words. Limiting the vocabulary should make matching 90%+ accurate on
 limited words.

 Is this possible?

 Also, can I limit the SR to only match numerics for number input only?

 The internal dialer seems to be able to do this sort of this, so can
 I?

[android-developers] Re: idiot's guide to using layout:gravity?

2009-11-01 Thread Emmanuel

You can't have two different gravity in the same layout, so you can't
do it a linear Layout, without introducing a new level in the
hierarchy.

I made an entry in my blog on this subject :

Hope it helps,

[android-developers] Re: App name/icon problems on Hero after reboot

I have an HTC Hero, have used many of the above apps and have never
seen these problems...

 Almost every power off, I lose the Desktop Icon on the App I'm
 developing, just on the Hero.

  For what its worth, I cannot reproduce this on a non-Sprint Hero. I

  I have never seen this issue on my own app, but never used raw strings

  I installed the Coin Toss app, tried it, put a shortcut on the home

  cannot try paid for apps, as it is not supported.

  My Hero is stock European, running Android 1.5, build 2.73.405.5

   From a user standpoint, I ran across this thread on the Hero

   Basically you wipe the phone  sd card, reinitialize the phone, then
   IMMEDIATELY turn off HTC Sense UI in favor of the standard Android UI.  
   The
   user that gave these instructions seems to not have any problems after 
   they
   do this.

   Just a FYI and further evidence that HTC has some issues they may or may 
   not
   be ignoring.

 I'm not entirely sure the raw string vs resource string is the full

 here though.  It might be part of the problem, but not the whole

 set as
a
 raw string and he is experiencing the problem.  On one of my 
 applications
 I'm developing, I'm experiencing it as well with the app name always
having
 been a resource.  It's sounding more and more like HTC having done
something
 funky with the package management.  Especially since Dianne has been
saying
 that stock Android doesn't have this problem.  And all of my 
 inquiries to
 HTC  Sprint have resulted in nothing.

I'm considering returning the phone, I still have a few days before my
30 day return option has past.  I mean, who really knows when this
might be fixed?

What other options are there at this point?

[android-developers] Re: IMPORTANT - display.getOrientation() does not work on all devices

2009-11-01 Thread niko20

I wouldn't be surprised if these people are running Cyanogen mods.
People also had problems with my app when they did that. In my opinion
custom ROMS are trouble for developers.

 Hey Mark,

 I have had one user contact me by email and he had the same issues
 using the older version and the new version (using the orientation
 code you supplied), so I can rule out that being the cause *I think*.

 I *presume* it isn't a ROM issue as I have had 8-10 users leave
 comments saying it doesn't work, in each comment they say recent
 update doesn't solve the issue. I guess for most people it may work
 and they dont bother leaving a message which says hey it works
 instead its only the people having problems who post negative
 comments.

 I have tried every test case such as holding the phone in different
 orientations when starting the activity and had no luck finding a bug
 there, in fact I have wasted far too many hours on this.

  Do you have any confirmation from any users who are seeing the rotation
  problem? (i.e., direct email, not Market comments)

   I use this method to get the screen orientation:
   getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

  That's not what you used to do, by your own admission. Are you sure that
  the comments are from people who are using your newer version?

  And, again, do you have any confirmation from any users who are seeing
  the rotation problem?

   How can this work fine on some phones and completely break on other
   peoples phones which are the same make and model?

  It could be they are running the older version of your application. Or,
  it could be a ROM version difference, with a bug in some ROMs. Or, it
  could be something about the way some users are using your app that
  differs from your expectations and test cases (e.g., they open the app
  starting in landscape mode, and you expect them to be starting in
  portrait mode).

  Please bear in mind that, across a 13-post thread, you have not once
  actually indicated what app this is, AFAICT.
