[android-developers] Re: offsetLeftAndRight() not working

[Nithin]

Hi Romain Guy,

Actually, I didnt get what you say, I am trying in this way..

layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
TevtView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.offsetLeftAndRight(50);
layout.addView(tv, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
setContentView(layout);

I am trying this way, but no effect... then, i also tried

setContentView(layout);
tv.offsetLeftAndRight(50);

still its not moving..

[android-developers] Re: Why activity Icon is not removed from launcher

[Andrew Ding]

We do not want to upgrade our product from Cupcake to Eclaire. Can
you kindly help me know how many files were changed for this issue and
the names of the files so that I can only upgrade these special files?
Is the upgrade acceptable for Google?

You must call this *after* a layout. Also, this will be reset by the

[android-developers] offsetLeftAndRight() not working

[Nithin]

Hi,

I created textview in java and trying  offsetLeftAndRight(int), but
the textview is not moving at all. I am using linear layout.

the code is,

layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
TevtView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.offsetLeftAndRight(50);

but the textview is not moving either horizontally or vertically..

Any idea please..

Thanks
Nithin

[android-developers] How to create and acquire a Wifi Lock in WIFI_MODE_SCAN_ONLY mode

[Mathieu]

Hi,

I've been trying in different ways to create and acquire a Wifi lock
in WIFI_MODE_SCAN_ONLY mode. The final aim is to develop a wifi
connection manager app, which should allow a user to scan for wifi
networks, connect to a given SSID, or disconnect from it.

Here's an excerpt of the code i'm using at the moment, which seems to
be creating a wifi lock correctly, but still, if i disconnect from a
SSID, 3 seconds later a scan is automatically initiated and the wifi
connects to the first known (remembered) SSID.

private TrustiveWifi(Context context) {
Log.d(TAG, "Created TrustiveWifi");
this.context = context;
wm = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService
(context.WIFI_SERVICE);

..

// create a wifi lock to prevent the wifi from shutting down
// the mode will be WIFI_MODE_SCAN_ONLY until a connection is
explicitely required
createWifiLock(false);

..

}

public static TrustiveWifi getInstance(Context context) { //
singleton
if (INSTANCE == null) {
INSTANCE = new TrustiveWifi(context);
}
return INSTANCE;
}

public void finalize() throws Throwable {
Log.d(TAG, "Finalizing");
try {
releaseWifiLock();

..

} catch(Exception e) {
} finally {
super.finalize();
}
}

public void createWifiLock(boolean wifi_mode_full) {
releaseWifiLock();
Log.d(TAG, "createWifiLock with full mode=" + wifi_mode_full);
wifiLock = wm.createWifiLock(wifi_mode_full ?
wm.WIFI_MODE_FULL : wm.WIFI_MODE_SCAN_ONLY, "TrustiveWifi wifilock");
wifiLock.setReferenceCounted(false);
wifiLock.acquire();
Log.d(TAG, "created a wifi lock: " + wifiLock.toString());
}

public void releaseWifiLock() {
if (wifiLock != null && wifiLock.isHeld()) {
Log.d(TAG, "Release wifi lock");
wifiLock.release();
}
}

public void disconnect() {
Log.d(TAG, "disconnecting");
createWifiLock(false);
wm.disconnect();
}

/** returns false if the network isn't configured yet. Create a
new wifi lock with mode WIFI_MODE_FULL */
public boolean connect(int selectedHotspot) {
String selectedSSID = wifiNetworks.get
(selectedHotspot).scanResult.SSID;

for (WifiConfiguration wc: wm.getConfiguredNetworks()) {
String ssid = wc.SSID.replaceAll("\"", "");
if (ssid.equals(selectedSSID)) {
Log.d(TAG, "Connecting to hotspot: " + wifiNetworks.get
(selectedHotspot));
createWifiLock(true);
wm.enableNetwork(wc.networkId, true);
return true;
}
}
Log.d(TAG, "Connection requested, but hotspot not configured
yet");
return false; // hotspot not found in the configured networks
}


I have no clue how to move forward on this issue, so any help and/or
advice will be greatly appreciated!

Mathieu

[android-developers] Re: Dallas Android Developers

[PJ]

If anyone is interested in joining the "Dallas Droid Devs", just reply
to this thread and let us know that you're interested.

An existing member can then invite you to be a collaborator of our
spreadsheet, so that you can see who we are, see what all is going on,
and tell us about yourself.

[android-developers] Re: how to write multiple-version compatible code...

[sdphil]

Thanks for your help Mark.  For anyone that's interested, here's a
code snippet.

private static String manufacturer = null;
public static String getDeviceManufacturer() throws Exception {
// use reflection to get device manufacturer safely.

// ANDROID1.6
// android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER

if (manufacturer != null) {
return manufacturer;
}

try {
Class buildClass = 
android.os.Build.class;
Field field = buildClass.getField("MANUFACTURER");
manufacturer = (String) field.get(new 
android.os.Build());
} catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
manufacturer = "(unavailable)";
} catch (Exception e) {
manufacturer = "error";
}
return manufacturer;
}

and it seemed to work.

[android-developers] Re: Dallas Android Developers

[PJ]

I vote for the 14th!  (I'm out of town on the 21st.)

I was about to ask everyone where they lived and a bunch of other
info, then I realized it would be easier if we just had a shared
spreadsheet.

So guys, I've created a Google Docs spreadsheet that we can all edit!
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tLm0U-zoptmlhEk_B_DteaA&hl=en

It's not too fancy, but please note that it does have multiple sheets/
tabs at the bottom:
"Members": Go here and enter your profile info so that we can see
where you live, what your skills/interests are, etc.
"Meetings": List of meetings.  For now I went ahead and put the 14th
down for our first meeting!
"Notes": Put random notes/discussions/crap about the group here.

I'll give everyone (in this discussion) permissions to edit the
spreadsheet.  If you have trouble viewing or editing it, let me know
and I'll try to fix it.

Re: 答复: [android-developers] Re: hiding a forcib ly opened soft keyboard...

[sdphil]

I'm not sure about the view, but i'm sure the top most window is there
-- and i thought that's what --

getApplicationWindowToken --
Retrieve a unique token identifying the top-level "real" window of the
window that this view is attached to.

was supposed to take care.

Can I do a view.requestFocus() before calling this to ensure it has
focus?

[android-developers] Re: Why activity Icon is not removed from launcher

[Andrew Ding]

Hi, Dianne and all,

I have a requirement whish is same as that of Shaz. In
chooseractivity, it can show all the activities who can perform an
ACTION.

Now I want to disable one activity so taht the activity will not
be shown in the ChooserActivity. So I use the API of

setComponentEnabledSetting() too. It does not work at all, though no
exception is thrown out. I tried it without DONT_KILL_APP.

   Do you have any other good suggestion? Do I make something wrong?

BR,
Andrew

The Tattoo is most definitely a touch screen device.  Currently only touch
screen devices are android compatible.

[android-developers] Re: Centering text in a button?

[CyberQat]

Some more info

The text is perfectly centered (but tiny) if I lave it at the default
setting.  If I try to scale it
up to match the button size however I lose vertical centering :(

Ive tried looking at the drawing code but it is massively complex.

Anyone know a soln?

[android-developers] Google APIs not being found by adb after upgrade.

[Clay]

I am having a strange problem after upgrading from the 1.5 to the 2.0
API in ADB, is there a setting I dont know about?

Any time I try to reference a Google specific class, even in the
simplest of projects such as:

package com.noi.android.test3;

import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class TestActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

//why cant you be found by the ADB classloader?
GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint((int) (1 * 100),
(int) (1 * 100));
}
}

I get a ClassNotFound exception when the application starts up in the
emulator.

11-11 21:29:40.221: ERROR/dalvikvm(733): Could not find class
'com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint', referenced from method

What I *dont* think this is:

1. An eclipse .classpath or .project issue, it builds fine, no errors.

2. A manifest or target issue.


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  package="com.noi.android.test3"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">











# Project target.
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:4
# Indicates whether an apk should be generated for each density.
split.density=false

I thought for Google target maps.jar was provided by the manufacturer
of the phone, so I shouldn't include it in my apk build should I? This
is confusing to me, this should be basic, the problem makes me feel
like a major nube.  I really have looked at the docs, it could be I
missed something.

Any pointers appreciated.

Clay

Please confirm whether that is a touch screen device. Because in my memory,
that is not. Moreover, if you are in US, you can consider Droid. That is a

[android-developers] Re: Recording direct system audio??

[PJ]

Bytes,

To answer your question, I'm using Java.

Two questions for you:

1. Are you testing this on both an emulator and on a real device?  You
might have problems on one but not the other.  In my case,
simultaneous record+playback is very choppy on the emulator (I have an
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.87GHz), but smoother on my real G1 device.  So,
just be aware that if the emulator/cpu is too slow for your design, it
can cause problems.

2. Are you invoking mAudioRecord.startRecording() as late as
possible?  I used to have problem with simultaneous record+playback
because I would first create and set up AudioRecord and invoke
mAudioRecord.startRecording(), then I would create and set up
AudioTrack and invoke mAudioTrack.play() afterwards.  However,
initializing the AudioTrack for playback takes a small amount of time
that can cause problems.  Even if you are not doing that, perhaps you
are doing other tasks that you could relocate before your
mAudioRecord.startRecording() call.  So, what I'm trying to say is:
try to invoke mAudioRecord.startRecording() as late as you possibly
can, and try to start consuming the audio data as soon as you possibly
can immediately after the startRecording() call.  This should also
reduce your buffer overflow problems.

Hope this helps,
-- PJ

PJ & Niko,

Thanks for your response.

Yes , whatever you are telling is correct. Using a large buffer will
solve the buffer overflow problem.

According to above thread (ofcourse, he is using callbacks) and my
personal exp showed me in isolation both recording and playing is fine
but as soon as they combined problems occuring.

Niko, can you share your feedback after implementing a loopback.

Once again, Are you guys using C++ or Java ?

The scan codes for 'a' and 'A' are the same, too.  Key codes and scan codes

Ah sorry 0 is correct here.  Are you sure the window you are passing in
actually currently has input focus?  Fwiw, the framework code that

Re: [android-developers] Re: How do I programatically and permenantly remove an icon from the launcher

[Dianne Hackborn]

Third party applications can not be granted CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE,
since that would allow them to break or otherwise mess with other
applications.

Re: [android-developers] Why activity Icon is not removed from launcher

[Dianne Hackborn]

Try it without DONT_KILL_APP.  There may be a bug in the delayed broadcast
that happens as a result of not killing the activity, which I was actually
just looking at. :)

Oh ok.I was under the assumption that only the launcher application

[android-developers] Re: listDivider in 2.0

[alex]

I've ended up copying the 1.*-style divider (divider_horizontal_dark.
9.png) and changing
--
android:src="?android:attr/listDivider"
--
to
--
src="@drawable/divider_horizontal_dark"
--
from the snippet in the first post. Seems like they like breaking APIs
for no reason.

[android-developers] Why activity Icon is not removed from launcher

[shahzad ahmad]

hi,
   I'm trying to remove activity icon from launcher panel. I'm using
firmware 1.5. But nothing seems to work. I'm not receiving any error but
activity icon is not removed. Following is the code


public class HelloActivity extends Activity {

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.hello_activity);
}


public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
disbaleActivity();
}

private void disbaleActivity(){
ComponentName receiver = new
ComponentName(getApplicationContext(),
"HelloActivity.class");
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

}
}


I've set following permission in manifest file


and following is portion of activity in manifest file

  







Please help me to resolve the issue. According to documentation it should
work but it doesn't. I've tried calling disbaleActivity() even from
OnCreate() method but no success :-(

Regards,
shaz

[android-developers] Android 2.0 setImageResource(R.drawable.my_icon)

[Alexey Volovoy]

hi all , not sure if it's a bug or i'm using that in the wrong place.
If i have following line (s ) of code in onCreate ()
iconView.setImageResource(R.drawable.my_icon);
And ONLY if my device(Droid) or emulator running 2.0 in landscape it
cause activity go through lifecycle endlessly like described in this
thread :
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/d3d6f944c6167952
If i move code to onStart() - life is good again.
Weird thing it only happens if i'm testing 2.0 and only landscape. I
realize that onCreate may be not the best choice to put such things
in, but still it's weird that it doesn't work only in landscape.

Re: 答复: [android-developers] Re: hiding a forcib ly opened soft keyboard...

[sdphil]

I'm basically doing what you show here.

What I mean by "forced" soft keyboard is when you hold down the menu
key.

It doesn't make it go away.  I tried using
view.getApplicationWindowToken vs. view.getWindowToken

and it did not make any difference.  so something else must be going
on...

[android-developers] Re: Showing ellipsis in a TextView?

[Mark Wyszomierski]

nEx,

I finally took a look at the TextUtils class. It doesn't seem to
consider height at all, just width - you found the same thing right? I
think I have to measure each character at a time and handle wrapping
myself until it gets to a maxLines parameter I'll set, then do the
ellipsizing,

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and ProgressDialog

This worked great, though it's quite a bit of setup for something that
I think ought to be handled by Android.  I just wanted to say thanks,
this problem was driving me up the wall.

What flag is that?  All I see documented are --

int HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY  Flag for hideSoftInputFromWindow(IBinder,
int) to indicate that the soft input window should only be hidden if
it was not explicitly shown by the user.
int HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS Flag for hideSoftInputFromWindow(IBinder, int)
to indicate that the soft input window should normally be hidden,
unless it was originally shown with SHOW_FORCED.

You need to pass the flag to force it to be hidden.

[android-developers] Server does not receive message from client

[Mike88]

Hello, I have created a simple server and client both on android phone
or emulators. The code is as follows

Server:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AndroidServer extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public static TextView tv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);

tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Main - server");
setContentView(tv);

Thread sThread = new Thread(new TCPServerTest());

sThread.start();
}
}

class TCPServerTest implements Runnable{

public static final String SERVERIP = "10.0.2.15";
public static final int SERVERPORT = ;

public void run() {
 try {
  Log.d("TCP", "S: Connecting...");

  ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket
(SERVERPORT);
  while (true) {
 Socket client = serverSocket.accept();
 Log.d("TCP", "S: Receiving...");
 try {
  BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
  String str = in.readLine();
  Log.d("TCP", "S: Received: '" + str + "'");
  AndroidServer.tv.setText(str + " -- " +
SERVERIP);
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
} finally {
 client.close();
 Log.d("TCP", "S: Done.");
}

  }

 } catch (Exception e) {
   Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
 }
}
}

Client:

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.Socket;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AndroidClient extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public TextView tv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);

tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Main - client");
setContentView(tv);

Thread cThread = new Thread(new TCPClientTest());

cThread.start();
}
}

class TCPClientTest implements Runnable {


public void run() {
 try {

   InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName("10.0.2.2");

   Log.d("TCP", "C: Connecting...");
   Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr, );
   String message = "Hello from Client";
   try {
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sending: '" + message + "'");
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter
( new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())),true);

out.println(message);
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sent.");
  Log.d("TCP", "C: Done.");

 } catch(Exception e) {
 Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
} finally {
  socket.close();
}
 } catch (Exception e) {
  Log.e("TCP", "C: Error", e);
 }
}
}


The problem can be seen from the log files

Server:

D/TCP (  700): S: Connecting...

Clinet:

D/TCP (  703): C: Connecting...
D/TCP (  703): C: Sending: 'Hello from Client'
I/global  (  703): Default buffer size used in BufferedWriter
constructor. It would be better to be explicit if an 8k-char buffer is
required.
D/TCP (  703): C: Sent.
D/TCP (  703): C: Done.


Note when i run the program the server has id 5554 and the client id
5556 from the emulators.

I have used ./adb -s 5554 forward tcp: tcp:

However the client message fails to send to the server. Does anyone
have any idea why?

I have tried doing  ./adb -s 5556 forward tcp: tcp: in case
that was the problem but i had no luck.

Help would be very much appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: How to launch the browser

[Susan]

You guys are my heros! I've been trying to overcome this single issue
for about two hours. That's fantastic. It works beautifully. Thanks!

For the sake of posterity (and anybody else who might be trying to
solve this), here's my working code:

(the lines are long so I apologize for the crummy formatting)

 public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider
 {
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
 {
 String action = intent.getAction();
 if (AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE.equals
(action))
 {

 RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(
 
context.getPackageName(),R.layout.widget);

 Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse
("http://www.cnn.com";));
 i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
 i.setComponent(new ComponentName
("com.android.browser",
 
"com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"));
 PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, i, 0);
 views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Widget,
pendingIntent);

 AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget
  (intent.getIntArrayExtra
(AppWidgetManager.
   EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS),
views);
 }
 }
 }

Re: [android-developers] How to launch the browser

[Jason Proctor]

you can't instantiate a Uri from a string, need to use the parse() 
factory method.

this is how i do it, works for me --

Intent  intent = new Intent ();

intent.setAction ("android.intent.action.VIEW");
intent.addCategory ("android.intent.category.BROWSABLE");
intent.setData (Uri.parse ("http://www.cnn.com";));

context.startActivity (intent);

are you happy? :-)

Change the previous three lines to:

Intent i=new Intent(ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.cnn.com";));

Check the date. That is probably an 18-month-old post. Uri is in the
android.net package.

To launch a Web browser from most places, you need:

startActivity(new Intent(ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.cnn.com";)));

In your case, though, you're creating an app widget, which makes things
a wee bit different:

Intent i=new Intent(ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.cnn.com";));
PendingIntent pendingIntent=PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, i, 0);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Widget, pi);

That will trigger the Browser when that specific UI widget in the app
widget is tapped.

We only auto-pair using  when:

[android-developers] How to launch the browser

[Susan]

I am trying to create a widget that, when clicked on, launches the
browser and goes to a particular URL. Unfortunately, I have had a lot
of problems. I started with a (working) widget that, when clicked,
opened the alarm clock. Then, using the code from another Groups post
(http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/
11e54b1df3a4d279), I tried to convert it to open the browser instead.
Here is my (non-working) code:

public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
String action = intent.getAction();
if (AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE.equals(action))
{

RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName
(), R.layout.widget);

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).addCategory
(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE).setComponent(new ComponentName
("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"));
Uri url = new Uri("http://www.cnn.com";);
i.setData(url);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context, 0, i, 0);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Widget, pendingIntent);

AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).updateAppWidget
(intent.getIntArrayExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS),
views);
}
}
}

First, I get an error when I try to create the new Uri -- "Cannot
instantiate the type Uri." The Groups post I've been referencing uses
ContentURI - a class that doesn't seem to exist. There is a class
called ContentURIs, but I couldn't figure out a way for that to help
me. The section in the dev guide on intents doesn't really say what a
Uri is or how to create one, and if there's no constructor I'm rather
befuddled.

My goal is to just launch a web browser, but I inexplicably haven't
found a single "Hello, Web Browser!" app anywhere. I'd be happy to
abandon this code and start anew or to fix whatever the problem is
with a Uri. If anybody has any advice to offer, I'll be the happiest
girl in the world. Thanks!

PS - Unless it's bad advice... then I'll be sad.

(Note: This code is a modification of the excellent alarm clock widget
tutorial at 
http://nexsoftware.net/wp/2009/07/29/tutorial-creating-a-custom-analogclock-widget/#)

Re: [android-developers] bluetooth connection - paring required?

[Sean Liao]

Thanks for the quick response.  Having watching this topic for a long
time since 1.1, I just cannot help feeling a little down now.

Not trying to complain, I just want to make sure I did not miss
anything feature I can utilize.  On top of my head, there was a
discussion mentioning that using a pre-canned "" pin code on
remote device to by pass the paring request.  That doesn't go thru on
the current release either?

If someone can confirm this, that will save me some bucks just to buy
one to try it out.

Thanks in advance and really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Sean

[android-developers] intercept SMS inbound message

[Sean Liao]

Hi,
I got a sample code how to intercept SMS inbound message.  It is
really simple, and I really admire android make it so easy:

// declare the intercepter







public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
   {
}
}

However, there is a problem.  The message also shows in the system
inbox.  Is there a way really to intercept it (not let the system
receive it)?  Or is there any API I can remove it from system inbox as
soon as I read it from my program?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Can someone with a Motorola Droid call AccountManager.getAccounts() please?

[Micah]

To reply to your more specific questions, it is my understanding that
the type you see in your log output is the type you would pass in to
most of the AccountManager functions.  The type should be a java style
universally unique name (ie: domain.subdomain.accounttype) in the form
of a string.  So if you wanted to get a Google Auth Token you would
call getAuthToken and pass in "com.google", for facebook you would
pass in "com.facebook.auth.login".

I am working on building my own account authenticator now and it's
quite a bit more work than actually getting the auth token.  Basically
anywhere on your Droid that you see Google, Facebook and Exchange you
could add your own account type, as well as allow applications by
other developers to authenticate with your service.

Here is the flow as I understand it, along with links to documentation
for each part:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhhtdbc7_4hhh4whg8

Basically once you have an authenticator written and installed on the
user's phone then the user would first need to create an account with
the authenticator.

One authenticator may track credentials for multiple users.  ex: I may
sign-in to the phone with two Google Accounts, then any app that needs
an auth token for "com.google" would need to prompt the user with both
accounts and ask them which one they would like to use.

Once there is one or more accounts setup with the authenticator you
would then ask the authenticator for an auth token for the desired
account.  The authenticator then may (or may not) prompt the user for
additional credentials or it may pass an intent back to the calling
application (depending on which version of getAuthToken you call) and
leave it up to the calling application to send off the credential
request intent (ex: if you are authenticating in the background it may
be better to wait for the user to switch back to your app before
prompting them, or pop-up a notification).

Once authentication is complete the calling application will get a
callback letting it know the results (auth token or failure).  The
calling application can then use that auth token to access services
provided by "com.google" (or whoever you authenticated with), likely
over an SSL connection, so the auth token isn't stolen.

[android-developers] Re: Can someone with a Motorola Droid call AccountManager.getAccounts() please?

[Micah]

Using an already existing account is pretty easy, which means in the
case of Droid Facebook, Google and Exchange.  Writing the actual
account providers is the hard part.

I'm just coding this off the top of my head, since I haven't finished
writing an authenticator yet (and the SDK has no built-in accounts)
but something along the lines of this:

/**
NOTE: This code blocks and is the wrong way to write this if 
you are
doing it in the main thread.  In the main thread you should pass in a
callback and wait for notification of success.  For simplicity of
posting the code to this group though I have written it this way.
**/

AccountManager myAccountManager = AccountManager.get(this);
Account foundGoogleAccount;
// TODO: Do what you did to find a Google account.

AccountManagerFuture myAccountManagerFuture;
// TODO: I *think* that the Activity that getAuthToken is 
asking for
is the activity to launch the intent from, not the actual activity
that the intent will launch.  This means that the intent which leads
to a credential prompt from the user will appear on top of the passed
in Activity in the Activity stack.  However, this is not clear in the
documentation so needs testing.
// TODO: Figure out if "com.google" account type needs any
additional login options passed in.  In this call I don't pass in any
login options but every authenticator has the option of requiring
some.  I assume this would be something like an RSA one-time-password
that can't be stored, though the authenticator could also get that via
a credential prompt instead of as a login option.  It may also be used
if a user can authenticate an account with some set of optional
parameters, such as authenticate for viewing only.
myAccountManagerFuture = myAccountManager.getAuthToken
(foundGoogleAccount, "com.google", null, this, null, null);

// THE FOLLOWING CALL BLOCKS WHILE AUTHENTICATION IS DONE!  
Normally
you would wait for a callback with the result, but for simplicity we
do this instead.
Bundle myAuthTokenBundle;
try
{
myAuthTokenBundle = myAccountManagerFuture.getResult();
}
catch (OperationCanceledException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
catch (AuthenticatorException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}

if 
(myAuthTokenBundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE) !=
"com.google")
{
// TODO: Handle auth failure case.
return;
}

String myAccountName = myAuthTokenBundle.getString
(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME);
String myAccountType = myAuthTokenBundle.getString
(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE);
// TODO: Figure out the type of auth token.  Is it always a 
String
or something?  Does it depend on the Authenticator?
Object myGoogleAuthToken = myAuthTokenBundle.get
(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN);

Re: [android-developers] bluetooth connection - paring required?

[Sean Liao]

Do you mean that if the remote device doesn't require a pin, the android api
will not be able to establish a connection to such remote devices?

Do I have an option to inject the paring key pragmatically if my appl
already know the pin code of the remote device?  Or, if the remote device
doesn't require pin code, new new bluetooth api will just connect without
user intervention?

The idea is that we want to have a background service running without user
intervention.

Please advise.
Sean

If you get a "Force Close", look at the Java stack trace to tell you
where your code is failing. You can get at the stack trace via adb
logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse.

[android-developers] Problem with listening to a PhoneStateListener in a service

[GT]

I have a BroadcastReceiver that listens for the BOOT_COMPLETED, that
part works I know because I disabled my phone listener and displayed a
Toast within. That BroadcastReceiver is supposed to start a service,
that also works. I run into Force Close issues when my service
attempts to tell my TelephonyManager to listen.

Any one have any ideas? Here is my code

StartSeviceAtStartUp.java


import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;


public class StartSeviceAtStartUp extends BroadcastReceiver
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
  Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, listenService.class);
  context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}

listenService.java

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;

public class listenService extends Service
{

  @Override
  public void onCreate()
  {
super.onCreate();
TelephonyManager telMgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService
(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telMgr.listen(new CallStateListener(),
PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
  }
  @Override
  public void onStart(Intent i, int startid)
  {

  }

  @Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
  {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
  }
}

CallStateListener.java

  {
super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
switch(state)
{

 I think the biggest barrier to forming a local Android Dev group is
 the fact that developers can hang out in the IRC channel (and this
 Google group) and find lots of discussion there, from the comfort (and
 whim/speed) of their own homes.  So, some people might not feel the
 extra effort is worth it.

 So an important step to creating a successful Dallas Android Dev group
 is to brainstorm and come up with a convincing list of incentives to
 create/join a local group.  Developers will ask, "What can the Dallas
 group offer me that the worldwide community can't?"

 The answer is stuff like:
 * Job placement: When Dallas devs get together, they can share info
 about local opportunities
 * Discuss local interests (like... uh... Dallas Cowboys?
 Whataburger?  hahaha...)
 * Get out of the house and meet in person
 * etc.

 I'm personally not gifted at organizing social events, but I'd
 strongly consider joining/supporting.

[android-developers] Re: How to build apk from multiple Eclipse projects?

[WoodManEXP]

Here is how I have solved this riddle; it is a compromise.

It seems pretty much impossible to implement any sort of class/
inheritance structure around the way resources are implemented for the
Android resources via Eclipse. They are tied too tightly with R. and
the special apk builder.

So I've spilt on the boundary between what classes access resources
and what classes do not (the UI classes tend to be the resource
users). Some classes that were light users of resources can be
restructured a bit to have resource info parameterized to them thereby
gaining them a home in reusable .jars.

The stuff that does not use resources can be organized into other
Eclipse Java projects with JRE System library and android.jar on the
Libraries build path.

The classes that implement the UI for a specific app are housed in a
regular Eclipse Android project with a Manifest and menus and such….
It has the Projects and Libraries of the reusable classes on its build
paths.

I had really wanted to push reuse further into the UI but it is a
diminishing returns thing where copy+paste looks more attractive.

Maybe someday Google will share with us an improved way to package
Android resources within jar files.

[android-developers] Application design - using threads

[Neilz]

Hi all. I've been reading the developer guide, the sections on
designing for performance and responsiveness. It's great stuff, and
I'm going to go through all my code and refactor everything I can to
meet these suggestions.

One line stood out for me: "For games specifically, do calculations
for moves in a child thread."

Could someone possibly elaborate on this a little? If you had a game
where the screen was being refreshed continuously, with calculations
being made on every refresh, does this mean starting and ending a
thread every time this happens? Or is one thread created at the start,
which stays open for the duration of the game?

And would this be an inner class extending Thread with a run() method
as usual, or are there better ways of handling it? I recently used an
"AsyncTask" to handle a background task, would that be something that
could be of use here?

Many thanks for any help.

General rule: always look for the "Caused by:" entry in the stack trace.

Your problem isn't the exception, but what you are doing in the
exception handler. Whatever mActivity.onTaskError(e.getMessage()); may
be trying to modify the UI, and that's a no-no from a background thread.
Whatever you're doing, it's not strictly kosher.

What I have done is held onto the Exception object in the AsyncTask
instance, then used it in onPostExecute(), when it is safe to update the UI.

[android-developers] Title bar keeps popping up on AlertDialog presentations despite disabling it in the activity

[Stephen Abrams]

Hello all,

I've noticed that if I disable the title bar in my Activity's onCreate
method like so:

   requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
   getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
   WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

any AlertDialogs with list that require a scroll down (contents don't
fit the page) will cause the title bar to display momentarily.  I am
managing these dialogs in the Activity in the typical fashion (using
onCreateDialog() and onPrepareDialog()).

Seems to happen in 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Steve

[android-developers] Re: Recording direct system audio??

[niko20]

Ok one last post.

In AudioRecord, the offset and size are the offset in YOUR buffer.

So this isnt that hard. You can use the same values hardcoded if you
want. All you have to do is make sure you are done enough with your
buffer before reading again. So you set AudioRecord's buffer to bigger
than your own read buffer, then you start an AudioRecorder, then you
read a small chunk (YOUR buffer). Now you use that chunk to do
something. Then you can read the next chunk. You can use the same
offset and size, it will just overwrite the current data in YOUR
buffer. Then you use the buffer quick. The only time you will get
overflow is if you don't read the data fast enough to keep the
AudioRecorder from "looping" around on its own internal buffer (which
you told it to allocate), so a bigger buffer would be better here if
you don't know if you may have some slow downs here and there.
However, even a big buffer won't help if you dont use the data fast
enough because eventually Audiorecord will catch up to you if you
aren't quick enough - so still you cant be doing tons of processing on
the data because you need to read it and get out! So the recorder can
keep going.

This is the same way that Audiotrack works on output, you have to
write faster than it consumes (or at least AS fast - you can do that
no problem because write() blocks until data is needed, so technically
your audio write thread should be sitting waiting to write most of the
time, if not, you are going to get more audio gapping).

Hope that helps.

[android-developers] Re: Recording direct system audio??

[niko20]

In fact what I meant to say as well is in Audiotrack's case, you want
a seperate thread that keeps pushing out new data. The write() method
will block until new data is needed, which is fine. So as long as your
thread can write the data fast enough to keep the buffer full you are
golden.

Now as far as AudioRecord I haven't used it much just yet (but soon
will). I'm assuming it's similar only the "reverse".

By the way PJ, I do use a looped output buffer in my AudioTrack output
and I handle it myself.

[android-developers] Re: Recording direct system audio??

[niko20]

I've worked with the audio a lot (especially AudioTrack) and I believe
you have everything correct PJ.

Yesterday I had put together a test app to try playback/record at the
same time and it worked just fine.

You shouldn't get buffer overflow errors if you make a large buffer
and then read from it as small chunks more quickly. That way you
consume the buffer fast enough so it never gets full.

It's the same way on AudioTrack for output, you make a buffer large
enough, and then you write in small chunks fast enough to keep it
full. However, in AudioTrack's case, you WILL get a delay the first
time. I've found that AudioTrack won't play until the buffer is full
for the first time. But I suspect that is how Audio buffers work on
any platform.

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

[PJ]

I'm seriously considering installing a special mouse driver that
allows two mice at once on the screen (they do exist), and trying to
see if the emulator responds to simultaneous clicks as multi-touch.
Someone please try this and let me know if it works.  Or maybe I'll
get around to it in a couple of weeks...

Without a stack trace, it will be difficult for anyone to give you

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and ProgressDialog

[PJ]

I have a similar problem.  The fact that the Activity is destroyed and
re-created every time the orientation changes doesn't make sense to
me.

Mark Murphy's second suggestion (overriding the default orientation-
handling code, so your activity is not destroyed and recreated)
actually makes the most sense, and part of me thinks that it should be
the default behavior.  In my personal opinion, the only thing that an
activity should need to do when the orientation changes is to re-draw
whatever UI components are already being shown.  All this extra work
of stopping and restarting dialogs, background tasks, etc. seems
unnecessary and extremely bug-prone.

Has anyone tried this strategy?  If so, how easy was it to re-draw the
UI?  And what other challenges did you face with this solution?

Also you can look at the Notepad tutorial, which is a very simple but

chunk size and a large buffer size.

(In my examples, I always used zero for the offset, but you could have
a large buffer and process the data in small chunks.  You would
process the chunk at offset=0 first, then process the chunk with
offset = "chunk size", then "chunk size times 2", etc.  Eventually you
have to wrap around back to the beginning of the buffer.  I have no
idea if the API methods handle any of that for you automatically or
not.)

Anyway, that's makes sense in my head, but I don't have that much
experience with high-performant audio processing.  Maybe some experts
can correct me and/or elaborate on what the proper solution is.

Re: [android-developers] Phone to phone/emulator comminication

[Michael Budas]

Thanks I saw this in passing but it a bit confession to me, do I have to
change the code in the system or just redirect from the command line. Can
this be done in eclipse or is it only from command line.

[android-developers] Re: Moving to 2.0 from 1.6 -> error reported of a violation of a core library class that doesn't exist in app

[Sam]

Okay, I figured it out. Basically there's 2 steps.
1. In Eclipse under the project Properties -> Android -> Android 2.0.
This is suppose to swap the Android Library files under Java Build
Path. I had originally deleted the 1.6 Library, and manually added the
android.jar in the Android 2.0 platform and that is incorrect. The
system has to switch the library packages.
2. If still having some problems, right click on the projects folder -
> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties.

These 2 steps got my 2.0 to finally run.

[android-developers] Re: Async thread aborted after catching (all?) exceptions

[Lee Jarvis]

So I've been sifting through example after example of android code,
and I see most web requests don't actually catch that many exceptions,
maybe because their path is hard coded so there is no room for user
error?

I'm still confused as the best way to exit my background task
gracefully if my get() method raises an exception, at the moment
getting anything but a force close just isn't happening
