I do this in a static initializer in the main activity class. This way
there is no need for a static flag:

final UncaughtExceptionHandler ueh =
Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new UncaughtExceptionHandler
() {
@Override
public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable ex) {
// ...
// MY STUFF GOES HERE (for example, grab the Build.MODEL and
Build.ID and then report it using analytics)
// ...
ueh.uncaughtException(thread, ex);
}
});

I'm not sure how safe this is, because in theory the default exception
handler could change in between these two statements but I think its
very unlikely, if not impossible!

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes

[blindfold]

OK, I didn't know that. My curiosity was triggered by Phil with the
suggested role of the CAMERA permission in having apps be visible on
the Market, which AFAIK should not have made any difference. Also,
android:minSdkVersion="4" (Android 1.6) according to documentation
implies that all screensizes are assumed supported:
http://d.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html "If
android:minSdkVersion or android:targetSdkVersion is "4" (Android 1.6)
or higher, the default value for everything is true."

So I expected that basically only visibility of (unadapted for
screensize) Android 1.5 apps on the Market would be affected, without
any role for "android.permission.CAMERA", and I would otherwise be
surprised.

BTW, lots of HTC Tattoo buyers seem annoyed, judging from
http://androinica.com/2009/10/11/htc-tattoos-android-market-will-not-list-apps-that-dont-support-qvga-display-option-update/
where it is stated that even Google's own "Listen", "My Tracks" and
"Sky Map" are (were?) not visible on Android Market for users of the
HTC Tattoo.

[android-developers] Relationship between MediaPlayer's audioStreamType and AudioManger's mode

[hap 497]

Hi,

Is there any relationship between MediaPlayer's audioStreamType  and
AudioManger's mode?
Like setting MediaPlayer's audioStream Type will put AudioManager into
different mode?
Or these 2 value are completely different?

Thank you.

I agree. We need some way to keep track of this stuff. I know the Eris

Re: [android-developers] App Not showing up on Verizon DROID Phones

[Kumaravel Kandasami]

Thanks Scott.

Interesting !!  I am in Houston, Texas.

What would be the reason the app is visible only on certain phones of same
type & service provider !?

Would it be an issue on Google Android Market App/Market place ?

Next thing, I am doing is to test on other Droids in my region.

I'll keep you updated, because it might help developers like me - who are
trusting that their app would be served on all the phones, if they put it in
the Android market.

[android-developers] Re: Bounding Geometry in Maps?

[Chad]

You know, I took a look at that lat/lon span and totally dismissed it.
Now it makes sense. Thanks for the pointer.
So is it safe to assume that I need to divide the span value in 1/2
prior to adding/subtracting that value from the center point lat/lon?

Thanks,
Chad

I had the same problem, here is the solution from one user:

Just letting you know incase anyone else has the same issue, they need

[android-developers] Re: Help! Force close after renaming package

[FJMustak]

Thanks for the help!  I looked at the LogCat view and it pointed me to
what I was missing... It was in the layout XML file.  Works now.

[android-developers] Re: Growing pains for Android developers??

[Kieran]

Android 2 SDK released: 27th Oct
Droid released: 6th Nov
So that's 9 days (with a weekend) to test our apps at the new
resolution, make any necessary fixes, then deploy to the Market. I
don't think that's enough, and ultimately it's the Droid users that
suffer.

It is also spitting this out:

[android-developers] Re: Person using Sprint Hero can't see application?

[Alexey Volovoy]

Most of the Heros running 1.5 , although upgrade afaik is available.
So minSdk should be 3 ( or you'll run into the same problem with CLIQ
users )
target SDK should be 4

[android-developers] Invalid Audio Buffer Size on Samsung Galaxy

[joelt]

The following works fine on a G1 but gives an error on the Samsung
Galaxy. I was hoping cross-platform support would be better than this.
See error below.

private final static int RATE = 44100;
private final static int CHANNEL_MODE =
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO;
private final static int ENCODING =
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT;
private AudioRecord recorder_;


 public boolean open() {

  int bufferSize = 4 * AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(RATE,
CHANNEL_MODE, ENCODING);
  recorder_ = new AudioRecord(AudioSource.MIC, RATE, CHANNEL_MODE,
ENCODING, bufferSize);

last line gives the following on the Samsung Galaxy phone:
11-14 19:04:07.507: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7617):
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid audio buffer size.

[android-developers] installing Android 1.6+ on headless Linux server

[azad]

Hi,

I am not sure how to install Android 1.6+ on a headless Linux server.
Our continuous integration build machine is a headless server in the
cloud.

Following the instructions, I downloaded android-sdk_r3-linux.tgz,
untarred it, added its location to my path, and tried to update. This
what I got:

"
r...@savendipity:/usr/local/share/android-sdk-linux/tools# android
update sdk

No command line parameters provided, launching UI.
See 'android --help' for operations from the command line.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-pi-
gtk-3550 or swt-pi-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the
jar file

+ stack trace
"

I don't know whether this message means that it is not possible to
update the SDK without a GUI, that my command line is wrong, or that
my environment is missing something that would allow me to install
from the command line.

Would appreciate instructions on how to install 1.6+ on a headless
linux server.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Azad

Re: [android-developers] Can't we have multiple instances for root of a task, in the same task?

That is the normal behavior, and something you pretty much don't want to
change.  Why do you want to do this instead of having multiple instances of
an activity in the same task?

Re: [android-developers] Does MotionEvent.getEdgeFlags() ever return anything other than 0 ?

[Dianne Hackborn]

I don't know what device you are running on, but on things like the G1 and
myTouch, the touch screen isn't able to accurately detect locations at the

pinned to the very far edge and the flag set.  Note that this is referring

Sorry I didn't realize you were referring to the all apps drawer?  Is this
on a Hero?  If so, then the issue after the reboot is probably the same
problem (it reverting to your old manifest), though having a problem after
an update but before a reboot is something else.

[android-developers] Re: Pause game

[davemac]

Not sure exactly what you're asking here, so here goes:

If you're asking how the user can tell the game to pause, then you
need some sort of control in the UI that the user can invoke to
trigger the pause action in your game. This could be a very small
button, maybe in the corner of your game that the user can click on.
Or maybe it's a special key that the user can press (assuming a
physical keyboard here), or maybe a menu from hitting the Menu button
on the device. As soon as the event happens you can stop the game
action, present the choices to the user and decide what to do from
there.

If you're asking how to save the game parameters so it picks up where
the user left off, then you should look at SharedPreferences. These
can be read and written to from code (see SharedPreferences.Editor),
with or without actually creating a preferences GUI for your
application. Save whatever values you need to save in onPause(), and
read them back in onResume(). Note that the very first time you start
up your app, there won't be any saved values so provide appropriate
defaults if you don't find any saved values.

[android-developers] Re: adb cannot find my dev phone

[Lee Jarvis]

Read the documentation: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

If it's a permissions issue try running `abd kill-server` followed by
`adb devices` as root, if your device shows you can either leave it
be, and switch back to a regular user and commence with debugging etc,
or set up permissions which is discussed within the documentation.

[android-developers] Optional permissions (revisited)

[Jonas Petersson]

Hi all,

I know this was discussed on this list about a year ago, but as far as I 
could tell it ended up with Dianne saying that it may be done, but was 
not a priority at the time.

Situation:
I've had a few requests from users of one of my apps that they would 
prefer to disable for instance access to the phonebook and GPS (for 
paranoia presumably). This would disable some interesting features in my 
app, but it would still be useful in simple cases.

As it is now, I'd have to release two versions of the application with 
99% of the code identical (could probably make it 100% really with some 
effort and just have different manifests). This is suboptimal. Having 
certian permissions listed as optional in the manifest and then checking 
for them during execution would be a lot better.

My opinion is:
Most users don't seem to be particularly bothered so having the current 
intall dialog as a default would be fine, but then add a button for 
detailed tuning, where permissions that are flagged as optional can be 
toggled. (Toggling these for an already installed app is a separate 
question.)

Other opinions?

Best / Jonas

[android-developers] Re: Securing a paid app

[Paul Turchenko]

TelephonyManager telManager = (TelephonyManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
telManager.getDeviceId() will give you the device ID (IMEI for cell
phones). This is how you can tie your application to the device. The
rest (license generation, your program <-> server communication is up
to you). We already have developed security system exactly as you ask.
Feel free to contact me via e-mail for more details.

[android-developers] BAck to Activity after WebView

[toby]

Hello,

I've been searching and looking for this answer for quite some time
now. I want to display a little HTML in a webView.

When the User read the HTML, he's supposed to use the back button to
go back to the previous activity. However, it closes the App.

How can I make it go back to the last Activity? It would also be ok to
display a soft back button or something.

Here my code

[snip]
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webview.canGoBack();
webview.loadData(worker.getHtmlResult(), "text/html", "utf-8");
[snap]

Thanks,

Toby

[android-developers] Re: Choosing Dev Phone

[Edward Falk]

I don't know if someone else mentioned this, but I want to stress that
99% of developers do NOT need a dev phone.  If you just want to write
android apps in Java and run them, any phone will do this.  Dev phones
are for if you want to do OS-level development.  I'd much prefer a
phone that can download any app to one that can't.  I have a G1 and a
Google IO phone, and not being able to see my own paid apps on the
market can be a hassle.

I'm looking into getting my application to show up when the user tries

I get that I need to declare an intent filter for the SHARE action,

Wait, so people are reporting problems with the CAMERA permission?
Let me guess, if you need that permission, then the app isn't shown to
phones that don't have cameras?

What if the app *can* use the camera, but doesn't *need* to use the
camera.  What if it runs just fine on devices without cameras.  What
if my app can use GPS, but runs ok without it?  Network connectivity?
This sounds pretty broken to me.

Why not just let the user decide if they want the app or not?

The link on appslib.com gives me 404.

I'm sure these questions will come up a lot in the next days as people
port over for their Christmas gift.

TIA!

Lee

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

[Micah]

I am working on a similar project over at:
http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator-for-android/

The end goal is to simulate the Google Account Authenticator found on
the Droid so that developers can use Google Accounts on their AVDs, as
well as people with 2.0 phones without Google Accounts (since the
Google Account isn't part of the AOSP, like Google Maps, Gmail, etc.).

It looks like we are at *about* the same point in writing the
authenticators, ie: not very far. :P  I do have some TODO comments
throughout that talk about some of the questions that I still have as
to how things work though.

[android-developers] Need help with using multiple views within a Listview

[JasonMP]

Hi all,

I,m trying to build a custom Listview and Adapter to populate the
screen with items from a database.  I need to have a checkbox in each
view that when clicked will display a number in a textview from the
database within that particular Listview item, and then also update
the checked status in the database.  Anyone have an example of how I
could make this work?

[android-developers] Re: How can I select or click on an item in a ListView?

I think you need to use:

 ListView.setOnItemClickListener()

instead.

[android-developers] How can I select or click on an item in a ListView?

[lau ka man]

As I mentioned in the email subject,
I want to select an item (e.g. Department of Human Resource Management) in
my ListView.
And you can see that:
I had try to use
setClickable(true), setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE),
setFocusable(true), setFocusableInTouchMode(true),
no matter I use touch screen to click on the item or use the scroll ball on
my mouse to select the item, it also doesn't work.
Is there any mistakes in my coding?
I hope someone can give me some ideas what I should do.
because I am a beginner for developing Android application.

And the following is my coding:
package com.example.abc;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class DeptList extends ListActivity {
 int position;
 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bund) {
super.onCreate(bund);

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,
  android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, DEPARTMENTS));
getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
getListView().setClickable(true);
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
getListView().setFocusable(true);
getListView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
getListView().setOnClickListener(selectItem);
}

private OnClickListener selectItem = new OnClickListener()
{
 public void onClick(View v)
 {
  position = getListView().getCheckedItemPosition();
  if(position == 2)
  {
   Intent contactlist = new Intent();
   contactlist.setClass(DeptList.this, Meeting.class);
   startActivity(contactlist);
  }
  else
  {
   Intent contactlist1 = new Intent();
   contactlist1.setClass(DeptList.this, OfficeMap.class);
   startActivity(contactlist1);
  }
 }
};

static final String[] DEPARTMENTS = new String[] {
 "Department of Accounting",
 "Department of Marketing and Sales",
 "Department of Human Resource Management",
 "Department of Computing"
};
}

[android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes

Hi Klaus,

Did you check if my camera app shows up on the Market for the HTC
Tattoo?

My The vOICe for Android app (search for seeingwithsound on the
Market) uses










and it shows up on the Market when I search for seeingwithsound with
my ADP1.
I'll be interested if it too fails to show up with the HTC Tattoo?

[android-developers] Re: Stacking a ListView with other widgets below?

[Mark Wyszomierski]

One more question on this - it seems like if we use a header or footer
view - then our activity can not add any other views? Example:

 
// with header and footer views.
 

the above works perfectly with focus getting routed correctly etc. The
focus acts strangely in this case though:

  

  


  

if the list view has focusable items - then the focus jumps back up to
the top LinearLayout-button after hitting down key again. This is kind
of strange, should this be happening? To explain further:

  

  


  // listview is composed of:
  TextView
  TextView
  Button
  TextView

  

so focus is fine up until it hits the row with the Button. The button
gets highlighted (since itemsCanFocus=true), but then hitting the down
arrow key again jumps focus up to the top linear layout button,
instead of continuing focus to the next row of the ListView. Normally
I could just use a header view instead, but is there an undocumented
rule in which we cannot add other views to our layout if using a
ListView with setItemsCanFocus=true?

Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Re: Links in WebView & context menu?

[Mariano Kamp]

Mark,

thanks for the hint. Reading the API documentation I would have never
guessed what it does. It seems that you get the marked link back and when
long clicking on a link it get's selected and so this work for me.

Cheers,

[android-developers] Does MotionEvent.getEdgeFlags() ever return anything other than 0 ?

[davemac]

I was expecting the getEdgeFlags() method of MotionEvent to tell me
when a MotionEvent had reached the edge of something, but the value
returned from getEdgeFlags() is *always* zero. Is this the expected
behavior? The documentation says that the flags indicate when a touch
has reached the edge of the display. I've tried this on a real device
and in the emulator, and the location coordinates never quite reach
the edge of the display, and getEdgeFlags() always returns 0. By
"never quite reach" I mean that if dragging a finger off the left edge
of the display, the smallest X I got was 2. Reaching the edge of the
view doesn't seem to change the value returned either.

I suppose I could set the flags myself using setEdgeFlags() using
calculations with known dimensions of the object whose edges I care
about. Is that how it's supposed to be used? Is this broken for now?

Thanks for your help.

- dave

I can tell you that my unlocked HTC Tattoo is picked up by adb and DDMS
fine on Ubuntu. All I had to do was enable USB debugging (Settings >

Well, there are a seemingly infinite number of barcode standards, each
with different line lengths, widths, etc. You don't just need a barcode
font -- you need one that handles whichever standard(s) your app needs.

Some are in fonts, but the last I looked (years ago), there were few
freely available fonts. I recall trying to figure out how to add USPS
delivery barcodes to mailing labels and giving up in frustration.

But, again, that was a few years ago, and something new may have arisen
since then.

Re: [android-developers] Barcode

Humm hoping there were barcode fonts or something, I wanted to create a
barcode from a number that you store into the app. I could do the web
service thing I just didn't want it to be an image although the generated
one will be of high quality so will scan fine.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to test if app is shown on Market for all screensizes

[Klaus Kartou]

Our app use the following permissions:
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

   - android.permission.INTERNET
   - android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
   - android.permission.CAMERA
   - android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

But why should the camera permission make the app not show up on market on

[android-developers] Debugging on HTC Tattoo

[Aasha]

I have just got myself a new HTC Tattoo which is NOT carrier locked.
Now I'm unable to find out how to use that to debug my application.
Is is possible to do that on an "unlocked" HTC Tattoo? If so, can
someone point me to some resource outlining how to do that?

Thanks and Regards

Here are two possibilities:

1. You store on the phone the barcode as an alphanumeric value and a bar
code type, then generate the image on the phone. That would require a
bar code imaging JAR, and while those probably exist for Java, I expect
they may require some massaging to work on Android.

2. You store on the phone the actual barcode image, obtained from a Web
service or something. This has the advantage of being a better-traveled
road. Then, you'd just use an ImageView, or the 2D graphics API, to
display the image on screen.

The only thing I see potentially being tricky with scenario #2 is
getting the image size right, taking into account different screen
densities. And, you have that same problem with scenario #1.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Help! Force close after renaming package

[TreKing]

To get the stack trace, just look at the LogCat view in eclipse when the
program crashes (sometimes the debugger stops at the crash point so you may
have to continue execution until it shows up).

Alternatively, run the DDMS tool a select your running AVD to see the
LogCat.

I haven't really looked at the examples in much depth, but aren't
LunarLander and Snake (the only) game projects? Maybe that has something to
do with it? Maybe try searching the entire project for the package name and
see if it's been hard-coded somehow? Getting the stack-trace from the LogCat
is definitely your best bet to get a lead though.

[android-developers] Re: Why String "\0" is converted to [65533,65533]

[Joes]

I just wanna know, with what condition can cause this issue.  I think
it's probably because of the charset setup which is controlled by
makefile or something else. I need a direction to look into.

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Can't receive UDP packets correctly

[Pierre]

Ok, to sumarize :
My program receive UDP packets.
On my HTC Hero (Android 1.5) and on emulator 1.5-1.6, i can't receive
UDP packets correctly.
They are truncated after the first byte (i receive only 1 byte
packets).

No problem in the Android 2.0 emulator

Yes, that is why I have posted the question because I don't know how

Has anyone done this before or know of a method for achieving this?

[android-developers] viewflipper deck?

http://mippin.com/buzzdeck

I want to make a deck of itinerary items (for my application TripIt).
So a new screen per itinerary..

I tried to make this with a viewflipper but it shows the full view on
the screen and i cannot see the other "decks" on the left or right

[android-developers] Re: Documentation deficiencies.

[Paul]

I agree totally with what Tim wrote. Lots of deficiencies and
undocumented things. I just spent 2 days trying to figure out why my
ItemizedOverlay subclass was not rendering OverlayItems that had their
own marker. Finally found something that mentioned setting the bounds
of the marker. Totally undocumented. They could at least provide their
source code so we could figure this stuff out ourselves.

Also, on a similar topic (poor documentation) I've been trying to
figure out how to get a MapView zoom controls to stay visible and not
disappear after a few seconds. Seems like you have to call this
undocumented method:  mapView.getZoomButtonsController() and then call
setVisible(true) on that object : mapView.getZoomButtonsController
().setVisible(true); Of course for some weird reason the user still
has to touch the map once before the zoom controls appear.

[android-developers] Speech Recognition makes a beep when the user Cancels. This is bad.

[GregM]

If the user cancels the speech dialog, it makes a little beeping
sound.

You might think that beeping sounds is an innocent little thing, but
it broke my app.

See, after my app is done speaking, it starts listening again for the
user to get its attention. When the app beeps, it assumes this is the
user getting the apps attention. Hence, the app gets into an infinite
loop where the user cancels, it hears the cancel beep, it brings up
the speech dialog again, the user cancels again, the app beeps, the
app brings up the speech dialog again

My question: How do I make the speech dialog stop beeping?

Bigger question: In general, how do I gain better control over the
android speech dialog? There's nothing I can do currently, but launch
it.

Thanks!

Please, tell me i'm wrong :

It looks that received packet are truncated after "n" bytes.
"n" is the size of the first received packet.

Seriously, this bug make me mad !
It only happens on MY phone !

Hi guys,

I am trying to make an appwidget to be displayed when we click a

I am having a simple application which has a button.

When the button is clicked,it will send a broadcast message.
I am implementing an appwidgetprovider class in the same application.

I have overridden the onReceive function in the appwidgetprovider
class as shown below:


@Override
public void onReceive ( Context context,Intent intent ) {

String action = intent.getAction();
String message="";
//String packagename="";
//int appwidgetid;
//String RESULT_OK = "sucessfull";

Log.i("test", "message received");

if( "android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_ENABLED".equals ( 
action ) )
{

//String message;
Toast.makeText( context, "Broadcast sucessfull...",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

if ( intent.hasExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE)) {

message = 
(String)intent.getCharSequenceExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE);
Toast.makeText( context, message, 
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}



ComponentName component;
component = new ComponentName(context,receiver.class);


RemoteViews views = new 
RemoteViews(context.getPackageName
(),R.layout.widget_provider);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.message, message);
}
 }
}

I am able to see the toast messages but i am not able to see the
appwidget.

In the above code R.layout.widget_provider is the xml file which has
the appwidget-provider tag.
I have also mention this file as the resource file in the android
manifest file.

My questions are:
1.Is this code correct?
2.What should be the second parameter in the instantiation of
"Remoteviews" class?
3.What should be the first parameter in the setTextViewText function?

Please anybody help me on this...

[android-developers] [Android-Java] Why String "\0" is converted to [65533,65533]

[Joes]

All,
While I'm programming the Android SMTP code,I met a confused problem
with code similar as the following:
String str= "\0" username "\0" passwrd;
After executed the code, I found "\0" is intepreted as two
undisplayable char.
Then I executed the folloing debug code:
String sZero = "\0";
int iLen = sZero.length();
int iValue1 = (int)sZero.charAt(0);
int iValue2 = (int)sZero.charAt(1);
Log.w("ZERO", "Zero String, Lenth=", iLen, " value1=", iValue1, "
value2=", iValue2);
What I get in screen is :
Zero String, Length=2 value1=65533 value2=65533.

Really confuse me, why "\0" become [65533,65533] in my program?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Growing pains for Android developers??

[gosh]

I think you hit the 'nail on the head' Niko with your "We can't judge
Google based on knowledge we DONT have." - and maybe its the legal
team who are driving the car.

The tech side of Android, including this group's info-feeders and
strokers of the many considerable egos amongst us, are Great - and
more power to them.
But, if a publisher is trying to build a business plan upon
development on Android, there are no available timeframes around the
marketing aspects, and no avenue to find out whether or not the
marketing aspects are in hand. I.e. Is there a marketing strategy for
Android at all? Publishers have to base any business plans on faith,
hope, hunches and hearsay.

E.g. Unlike you, many publishers cannot sell their applications 'at
all' (to experience the low volumes;) because they are from countries
that are not amongst the current 9 where publishers can. e.g.
Australia is still missing from that list. No one from Google can say
anything about that - I've tried many info channels to no avail. Not
just a time-envelope of when it may be added, but even whether it will
'ever' be added (e.g. Will ads within free apps supersede customer
payment for apps entirely? Will Chrome OS become the main game? Should
we be moving more development to Flash and away from Java? I.e. In
this info vacuum comes speculation). Its not the programmers here
"whinging" (at my company), its the Business Manager.

Stepping back from the fray several hundred yards for some perspective
on why people may grumble a bit (whether or not they are
'programmers') - It is a remarkable thing that a company such as
Google, which is largely built upon search, itself built upon
information produced by other people and other companies (web-site
content; scanned books, uploaded video, etc), does itself make so
little of its own information available - and keeping it from its
early adopter developers and publishers, of all people. Personally, I
am surprised at how many people don't 'whing' at all.

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

[AngelOD]

Hi,

I would just like to add here, that I have a Scandinavian HTC Hero,
and I've tried to recreate several of these errors, without luck, so
whatever it is, that causes it, I'd have to assume it's not in the
Scandinavian release of the firmware. Just in case someone wanted to
note that to HTC during one of (I imagine) countless emails to them,
since the fault is more than likely on their part, even if they say
they can't recreate it themselves.

Cheers,
Tristan

[android-developers] Securing a paid app

[jax]

I am wondering how I might go about securing a paid app on Android.

I am thinking of selling the application from my own website via
PayPal, however, how will I stop people from sharing it with their
friends etc.  Does Android have any type of native support for this?

[android-developers] Re: Problem with communicating Thread with progressBar

[Lance Nanek]

Is this what you are trying to do?
final Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received message. Checking if location still 
null.");

if(location!=null){
Log.i(TAG, "Location not null. Dismissing dialog.");
dismissDialog(DIALOG1_KEY);
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "Location null. Sending delayed message to 
check again
later.");
sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 100);
}
}
};
showDialog(DIALOG1_KEY);
mHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 100);

No new thread needed. That said, why not just have whatever sets the
location to not be null also trigger the dialog to be dismissed? If it
is on another thread it can send the Location in a message and have
the assignment and dismiss happen on the UI thread just as easily as
the above causes the check to happen on the UI thread.

Re Looper#prepare and Looper#loop, you would only need to call those
if you created a Handler on your new thread. You are creating the
Handler on the thread that was creating your new thread. If that
thread is the UI thread, it doesn't need the looper calls because it
already has a message queue running. Looper#loop doesn't cause your
own code to loop anyway, it causes the code that gives out messages to
handlers to loop.

Really? I thought my 32GB flash one was the smallest. Maybe that's just
the smallest I could find over here.

It is not. At least not with how we would probably use the term.

System storage on my ARCHOS is 114MB right now. I have a bunch of apps
installed, but most are tiny book samples.

"Internal storage" is 30GB, of which about 20.5GB are presently
available, after I loaded some content on.

And, of course, while writing this email, I got another lovely
spontaneous reboot of the device...

I haven't tried that yet, though I will make a point to do so next week.

[android-developers] Strategy for installing large apps on Archos 5 tablet

[westmeadboy]

I have an app which has a download size of about 7MB and an installed/
configured size of about 25MB.

So far, I've been handling this by using the SD card for the baulk of
the data. This works fine although the installation process is a
little cumbersome.

I notice the smallest of the Archos 5 tablets is 8GB.

Can someone confirm whether this is all part of the internal memory?
In other words, can /data/data/com.mypackage fill this memory
(potentially).

If so, does this mean there is a good chance that
getExternalStorageDirectory() will quite often return null??? -
because people will have less need to use an external SD card...
