[android-developers] CheckedTextView and android:checkMark property

2009-11-15 Thread kretes

Why is that that a XML property
android:checkMark in CheckedTextView is not covered in doc
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CheckedTextView.html
?

Additionally - it looks that it is *required* attribute to use
CheckedTextView as a view in listview with checkboxes
Should i treat that as a kind-of-bug, or am I missing something?

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL ES works fine on Emulator but on HTC Hero 1.5 it does not render vertices

2009-11-15 Thread Mika

Ah sorry for long response time. Anyway, I went back to the problem
and started using GLSurfaceView instead and it works with the current
setup.
With the GLSurfaceView, where am I supposed to implement
onTouchListener? Since if I make the starting activity to implement
the onTouchListener, it never gets called on touch evens.

Any tips what/where it should be implemented?

Cheerio for all the tips.

First, as Mark said, you have an extra curly bracket. You also have
switched the ending square bracket with the ending curly bracket.
The error might be indicating you are trying to access Result as a
JSONObject, as opposed to the JSONArray that it is.
Or it is a side effect of the mal-formed JSON.

If I am going to register a BroadcastReceiver in Java code (vs. via the
manifest), I tend to just make it an anonymous inner class:

BroadcastReceiver onBatteryChanged=new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// something useful here

};

You can see an example of this for receiving ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED
broadcast Intents here:

The same techniques should work for you for your media button.

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

2009-11-15 Thread joelt

Further analysis reveals it only supports an 8k sampling rate. This is
obviously a bug. Where do I file a bug report against the Samsung
phone?

On Nov 14, 9:49 pm, joelt j...@harpsoft.com wrote:
 It is also spitting this out:
 WARN/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(1018): getInputBufferSize bad sampling rate:
 44100

 Is there an API that will tell me which rates it _does_ support? It
 doesn't look like it.

[android-developers] Code compiled with SDK 2.0 does not install (and therefore run) on 1.5 emulator

2009-11-15 Thread Max Binshtok

I did signed export of the package while setting the target as 2.0.
Then I tried to install the package by downloading it *through
browser* (OTA download) on all the emulators. On 1.5, when I click on
the download in order to install the package, I get the

Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package

It works on 1.6 and 2.0 though.

Compiling with 1.6 set as the target seems to install on all the
emulators ok.

Is it zipalign issue? Or if not - can someone clarify that to me? For
now I don't use any 2.0 APIs, so I can just use 1.6 but in future -
who knows and if this is going to be still a problem, how should be go
about backward compatibility?



Regards,
Max.

That is a correct assumption. The span values give you the total latitude or

Rather than entity.getContent() and whatever convertStreamToString() is,

Visit http://commonsware.com/AndTutorials, scroll down, and click on the

[android-developers] Orientation change of gsm re-initializes the application

Hoi

My application gets re-initialized when the gsm orientation changes
from portrait to landscape and vice versa. I want to keep the
application in portrait since it does not make any sense to have it in
landscape mode. Does anyone know how to prevent the re-intantiation of
the app and how I can keep the application in portrait even when the
gsm is in landscape orientation?

Help is very much appreciated

Add android:screenOrientation=portrait to the activity element of

Re: [android-developers] Re: Extremely long DNS lookup (and failure) on T-Mobile network

2009-11-15 Thread SoftwareForMe.com SoftwareForMe.com

I have seen this too, but what's worse, I've found socket connections taking
to long to connect, even when not using DNS.

For example, our software can connect to a PC via LAN using an IP address.
Sometimes it will take 5 seconds, sometimes it will time out. In either
case, after such a failure, if I close and re-run the app, it connects
immediately.

This problem started around the time 1.6 was released.

[android-developers] AppWidgetProvider SCREEN_ON/OFF Intent not received

2009-11-15 Thread Derek

Hi,

We've an AppWidgetProvider and we would like to receive SCREEN_ON.
From the following thread, it seems not possible to register for such
event in AndroidManifest.xml
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/40753eb1b312f4ab/3e171b45a2fe880c?#3e171b45a2fe880c

The thread reports that registration must be done with API. It works
fine for an Activity but it is not allowed from a AppWidgetProvider
which is already a BroadcastReceiver. Is there any solution ?

 As for testing, I guess it would be best to try and find someone with
 a archos device and try it proper.

 I do hope my applications get validated :)


It's a bit egg chicken that's for sure.

Did you do anything special for the extended top bar when porting or
just trust the views
to resize themselves to the available space under it ?

Sorry, just to check: the extended status bar doesn't show up in your
emulator, right ? I just get the
normal status bar even with the a5_horiz skin.

[android-developers] startForeground Backwards compatability

2009-11-15 Thread G

Hi, I've got a question as I don't have an Android 2.0 device to test
on and this particular aspect seems untestable in the emulator.

I've got a service that needs to be run as a foreground service. I
have a notification that stops it etc, so I have no problem using
startForeground instead of setForeground. However, I'd like to have 1
version of my app that works across all platforms... Is this possible?
If my app is compiled with Android 1.5 and uses setForeground, then
will that command actually work on an Android 2.0 device, or does it
not matter which sdk was used to compile? I've tried compiling with
2.0, and surrounding the call to startForeground with a try/catch, but
that throws a VerifyError when the service is started, when run on a
1.5/6 device since startForeground doesn't exist there. Can I catch
and ignore the VerifyError somehow and make it work that way?

Any help would be appreciated, I really don't want to have to make a
2nd branch of my app.

Regards,
Geoff

Well, A characters with a bit of diacritical on top and a seemingly 
random character after it is petty typical for incorrect use of UTF-8 in 
my experience.

I'd suggest that you start by removing the UTF parameters and see what 
happens. I use UTF-8 characters in JSON calls for one of my apps and for 
me it works perfectly by just encoding the query with UTF-8. However, in 
my case I explained very carefully what I wanted from the server people 
- you may not have that advantage... Still, if you capture the stream 
content you should be able to massage it into shape with some effort.

My JSON lookup handler takes a sanity peek at the first character that 
is returned from the call - if it is neither '[' nor '{' I consider it a 
failure.

Good luck / Jonas

PS. Yes, the app in question is Prisjakt that won the Swedish Android

[android-developers] Making SearchManager behave like the old googlenav.Search

2009-11-15 Thread Clay

So I have been looking into this for a couple of days, and I am pretty
sure the intent of the android API team is to make SearchManager a
platform level tool for searching application level content, like a
application database, which is very cool, and I will probably use, but
not what I want at this moment.

I want to be able search a map just like the Google search apis for
javascript:

// We'll wait to the end to actually initialize the map
  // So let's build the search control
  searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl();

  // Initialize a LocalSearch instance
  searcher = new google.search.LocalSearch(); // create the object
  //google.search.LocalSearch.ADDRESS_LOOKUP_ENABLED

  searcher.setCenterPoint(map); // bind the searcher to the map

  // Create a SearcherOptions object to ensure we can see all
results
  var options = new google.search.SearcherOptions(); // create the
object
  options.setExpandMode
(google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN);

  // Add the searcher to the SearchControl
  searchControl.addSearcher(searcher , options);

 // And second, we need is a search complete callback!
  searchControl.setSearchCompleteCallback(searcher , function() {
map.clearOverlays();
var results = searcher.results; // Grab the results array
// We loop through to get the points
for (var i = 0; i  results.length; i++) {
  var result = results[i]; // Get the specific result
  var markerLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat
(result.lat),
parseFloat
(result.lng));
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerLatLng); // Create
the marker

  // Bind information for the infoWindow aka the map marker
popup
  marker.bindInfoWindow(result.html.cloneNode(true));
  result.marker = marker; // bind the marker to the result
  map.addOverlay(marker); // add the marker to the map
}

This *was* in previous versions of the API (1.0?) I have seen very old
code like:

// W00t! Search for Pizza.
// Create a MapPoint from the map's coordinates
MapPoint mapPoint = new MapPoint(mMapView.getMapCenter
().getLatitudeE6(),
mMapView.getMapCenter().getLongitudeE6());
// Create a dummy Map for use in Search
Map map = new Map(getDispatcher(), null, 0, 0, 0,
mapPoint,
Zoom.getZoom(mMapView.getZoomLevel()), 0);
// Search for Pizza near the specified coordinates
Search search = new Search(Pizza, map, 0);
// add the request the dispatcher
getDispatcher().addDataRequest(search);
// Wait for the search to complete, Should do this
// in another thread ideally, this is just for
illustration here.
while (!search.isComplete()) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG, .);
}

// Print the details.
Log.i(LOG_TAG, Done -  + search.numPlacemarks());
MapPoint point = null;
for (int i = 0; i  search.numPlacemarks(); i++) {
Placemark placemark = search.getPlacemark(i);
point = placemark.getLocation();
Log.i(LOG_TAG,  - i :  + Integer.toString(i));
Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Bubble :  +
placemark.getBubbleDescriptor());
Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Detail :  +
placemark.getDetailsDescriptor());
Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Title :  + placemark.getTitle());
Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Location :  + placemark.getLocation
().toString());
Log.i(LOG_TAG, - routable :  +
placemark.routableString());
}

// Animate to the last location.
if (point != null) {
MapController mc = mMapView.getController();
Point point1 = new Point(point.getLatitude(),
point.getLongitude());
mc.animateTo(point1);
mc.zoomTo(12);
Log.i(animateTo, point1.toString());
}

I have been thinking it could be possible by geocoding an address
using the location manager:

//first find the location using geocoding
Geocoder geocoder =
new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), 
Locale.getDefault());
try {
ListAddress addrs =

geocoder.getFromLocation(mMyLocationLat, mMyLocationLon, 1);

} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, geocoding failed);
}

and then pre populating the search with something like pizza @94611,
but right now when I do search the results go to a browser, I really
want to be able to parse the results myself using an api.

Does anyone know of an example like this or can give me some advice,
the API docs on SearchManager are a little difficult

Re: [android-developers] startForeground Backwards compatability

2009-11-15 Thread TreKing

Yes, this is possible and definitely testable in the emulator. I actually
just update my own app to account for this change in 2.0.

I don't think you can get around the VerifyError but you can check if the
method you want to use exists. Build against 2.0 and use reflection to check
if the startForeground exists and use it if it does, otherwise default to
setForeground.

There was a blog post about using reflection for things like this though I
don't have the link handy.

Hope that helps.

[android-developers] Re: Code compiled with SDK 2.0 does not install (and therefore run) on 1.5 emulator

2009-11-15 Thread Lance Nanek

I just bumped up the build target on one of my apps to Android 2.0,
exported a signed APK, and it installed and ran OK from the Browser
app on the Android 1.5 emulator.

So I guess the problem doesn't always occur. I wonder what we are
doing different.

What are you using for the uses-sdk element in your manifest? My test
used:
uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=4 /

Although I think the wrong values there would result in a cannot be
installed on this phone error rather than a parse error.

On Nov 15, 12:55 pm, Max Binshtok max.binsh...@gmail.com wrote:
 I did signed export of the package while setting the target as 2.0.
 Then I tried to install the package by downloading it *through
 browser* (OTA download) on all the emulators. On 1.5, when I click on
 the download in order to install the package, I get the

 Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package

 It works on 1.6 and 2.0 though.

 Compiling with 1.6 set as the target seems to install on all the
 emulators ok.

 Is it zipalign issue? Or if not - can someone clarify that to me? For
 now I don't use any 2.0 APIs, so I can just use 1.6 but in future -
 who knows and if this is going to be still a problem, how should be go
 about backward compatibility?

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

2009-11-15 Thread davemac

I think I've got this figured out. Almost. With multi-touch support,
getAction() can return a compound value representing the pointerID in
the second byte and the action value in the first byte. For example,
if two fingers are down, and pointerID 1 is lifted (i.e., finger 2),
getAction() returns a value of 262 (0x100 or 256 to represent
pointerID 1, and 6 to represent up for a compound value of 0x106 or
262). I'm curious why it was done this way instead of using 0 for down
and 1 for up, even when pointers are involved. Things get a little
weird because of the differences. Here's an example (note I'm using a
Motorola Droid phone here so this may behave differently on other
devices):

Press finger 1 to the screen (action value of 0)
finger 1 gets pointerID 0, no problem, pointerID is 0, down is 0
Press finger 2 to the screen (action value of 261)
finger 2 gets pointerID 1, a little weird, could have been 256
instead?
Lift finger 1 from the screen (action value of 6)
finger 2 is still pointerID 1, action could still have been 1?
Lift finger 2 from the screen (action value of 1)
finger 2 is still pointerID 1, but the action value is not 262 or
257 it's 1

It would seem I can't use the bitmasks reliably in all cases. If I
always inspect the action value for the pointerID and the action
value, I get messed up at the end because pointerID has vanished. And
0 seems to be equivalent to 5, and 1 to 6.

Is this something you'd consider a bug or is this how it's supposed to
work? Should we expect it to continue to work this way?

Thanks for your help.

 Good point.  Actually my example was not very good because at the places
 where there is an up transition, the last position of the pointer going up
 is included in the event stream -- so in all of these, you would receive
 both 0 and 1.  It is in the following move event that you will only get the

[android-developers] Re: startForeground Backwards compatability

2009-11-15 Thread G

THANK YOU! The word I was missing in my searches was Relection or
Reflect.

I've added this method to my Service, but I'm still having a
problem...

private void turnOnForeground(Notification notif) {
try {
Method m = Service.class.getMethod(startForeground, 
new Class[]
{int.class, Notification.class});
m.invoke(this, NOTIFY_ID, notif);
} catch (Exception e) {
setForeground(true);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFY_ID, notif);
}

//Debug message to show if turn on worked
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getBaseContext
().getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), Foreground:  +
am.getRunningServices(1).get(0).foreground, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show
();
}

The problem is the Toast at the end is still reporting false (on 2.0,
works fine on 1.6), i.e. that the service isn't running in the
foreground state. The code runs through and I can see in the LogCat
that no exception is thrown or caught. Also, I tried just using
regular ol' startForeground, then showing that same Toast, and tested
on the 2.0 emulator, and it still reported false. Does that method of
retrieving the foreground status just not work in 2.0 anymore (it
works on 1.6)? How can I be sure my service is running in the

Well, my apps should still work for 1.1. According to web server logs 
all but one (active) users had switched to 1.5 about a week after it was 
released. However, this may not apply to your situation as at the time, 
it was pretty hard to get Android phones at all over here (Sweden), so 
pretty much everyone was a hardcore developer.

I just had a peek in the last months logs and as far as I can tell, 
there are less then 10 1.1 phones that have been active in that time out 
of over 5500 users. However, this is still an illusion:

My apps are rather Sweden specific and by running all these IP addresses 
through a whois lookup I can tell that none of them originate from 
Sweden. Hence, I'm pretty convinced that these are simply traces from 
developers/testers that for some reason experiment with all apps they 
can find on 1.1 devices.

Obviously, I've had NO complaint from 1.1 users at all and I'm pretty 
sure that for Sweden there is not such thing as a regular 1.1 user.

In fact, the (very) few indications I've seen of my apps not working are 
likely from those trying out pre-2.0 builds. The using the Search key 
appears to work somewhat differently in the 2.0 emulator, but I've had 
no response from the Android masters as to whether this is intentional 
or a bug. I have a plan for working around it, but I've held off 
releasing something new until it is confirmed on a true 2.0 phone.

Best / Jonas

[android-developers] Adjusting Dialog Size Question (ie: ColorPal)

2009-11-15 Thread Jason Van Anden

I just took a look at my app with a Droid - it works/looks super ...
except for my color dialog - which is tiny compared to my G1.  I want
to update the ColorPal code to accommodate different screen
dimensions.  One way to do this would be to access the DisplayMetrics
from the dialog ie:

 DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
 getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

This does not seem to work from a dialog though - or I am missing
something.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

I don't know about that last section, I haven't used the ActivityManager,
but are you sure that the service your checking is actually YOUR service? I
would double check to make sure the service you're getting back is yours.
This might have worked pre-2.0 simply by luck.

I don't think you can get around the VerifyError but you can check if the
method you want to use exists. Build against 2.0 and use reflection to
check
if the startForeground exists and use it if it does, otherwise default to
setForeground.

There was a blog post about using reflection for things like this though

[android-developers] Re: Making SearchManager behave like the old googlenav.Search

2009-11-15 Thread Clay

so after a ton on investigation I am pretty sure that it was a

though.

 So I have been looking into this for a couple of days, and I am pretty
 sure the intent of the android API team is to make SearchManager a
 platform level tool for searching application level content, like a
 application database, which is very cool, and I will probably use, but
 not what I want at this moment.

 I want to be able search a map just like the Google search apis for
 javascript:

 // We'll wait to the end to actually initialize the map
       // So let's build the search control
       searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl();

       // Initialize a LocalSearch instance
       searcher = new google.search.LocalSearch(); // create the object
       //google.search.LocalSearch.ADDRESS_LOOKUP_ENABLED

       searcher.setCenterPoint(map); // bind the searcher to the map

       // Create a SearcherOptions object to ensure we can see all
 results
       var options = new google.search.SearcherOptions(); // create the
 object
       options.setExpandMode
 (google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN);

       // Add the searcher to the SearchControl
       searchControl.addSearcher(searcher , options);

      // And second, we need is a search complete callback!
       searchControl.setSearchCompleteCallback(searcher , function() {
         map.clearOverlays();
         var results = searcher.results; // Grab the results array
         // We loop through to get the points
         for (var i = 0; i  results.length; i++) {
           var result = results[i]; // Get the specific result
           var markerLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat
 (result.lat),
                                                     parseFloat
 (result.lng));
           var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerLatLng); // Create
 the marker

           // Bind information for the infoWindow aka the map marker
 popup
           marker.bindInfoWindow(result.html.cloneNode(true));
           result.marker = marker; // bind the marker to the result
           map.addOverlay(marker); // add the marker to the map
         }

 This *was* in previous versions of the API (1.0?) I have seen very old
 code like:

 // W00t! Search for Pizza.
             // Create a MapPoint from the map's coordinates
             MapPoint mapPoint = new MapPoint(mMapView.getMapCenter
 ().getLatitudeE6(),
                     mMapView.getMapCenter().getLongitudeE6());
             // Create a dummy Map for use in Search
             Map map = new Map(getDispatcher(), null, 0, 0, 0,
 mapPoint,
                     Zoom.getZoom(mMapView.getZoomLevel()), 0);
             // Search for Pizza near the specified coordinates
             Search search = new Search(Pizza, map, 0);
             // add the request the dispatcher
             getDispatcher().addDataRequest(search);
             // Wait for the search to complete, Should do this
             // in another thread ideally, this is just for
 illustration here.
             while (!search.isComplete()) {
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, .);
             }

             // Print the details.
             Log.i(LOG_TAG, Done -  + search.numPlacemarks());
             MapPoint point = null;
             for (int i = 0; i  search.numPlacemarks(); i++) {
                 Placemark placemark = search.getPlacemark(i);
                 point = placemark.getLocation();
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG,  - i :  + Integer.toString(i));
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Bubble :  +
 placemark.getBubbleDescriptor());
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Detail :  +
 placemark.getDetailsDescriptor());
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Title :  + placemark.getTitle());
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, - Location :  + placemark.getLocation
 ().toString());
                 Log.i(LOG_TAG, - routable :  +
 placemark.routableString());
             }

             // Animate to the last location.

                 MapController mc = mMapView.getController();
                 Point point1 = new Point(point.getLatitude(),
 point.getLongitude());

                 mc.zoomTo(12);
                 Log.i(animateTo, point1.toString());
             }

 I have been thinking it could be possible by geocoding an address
 using the location manager:

 //first find the location using geocoding
                 Geocoder geocoder =
                         new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), 
 Locale.getDefault());
                 try {
                                 ListAddress addrs =
                                         
 geocoder.getFromLocation(mMyLocationLat, mMyLocationLon, 1);

                         } catch (IOException e) {
                                 Log.e(TAG, geocoding failed);
                         }

[android-developers] Re: Code compiled with SDK 2.0 does not install (and therefore run) on 1.5 emulator

2009-11-15 Thread Max Binshtok

I do:

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=1/uses-sdk

:)

so it should be more likely to work...

The error is quite weird - I will try to do it again, maybe it was a
fluke and the file just got currupted while being transferred,
although I think I already did repeat the procedure... Since you claim
it to work on your side - it is definitely worth making sure this is
not a fluke of some sort.

 What are you using for the uses-sdk element in your manifest? My test

[android-developers] ANDROID_ID returns null on my G1 ?

Hi,

Following other threads - I'm trying to get a unique device ID from
the device. I tried this:

  String ID = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(),
android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);

but this returns null when running on my G1. Is it supposed to be
returning a valid number, or am I accessing it wrong? I don't want to
use the telephony device ID because that requires more permissions.

Thanks

No, that should not return null AFAIK, except on the emulator.

Is your device rooted or anything?

Hi Mark,

What does rooted mean? Things that might be messing it up:

 1) I don't have a SIM card in the device (just using wifi)
 2) I am using getAppplicationContext() for the context parameter in
that call

Other than that - everything else is 'normal'.. I think?

Yeah, methinks your G1 is messed up. ANDROID_ID is stored, AFAIK, in a
system SQLite database. It is conceivable, though scary, that this
database got whacked somewhere along the line.

2009-11-15 Thread Diego Torres Milano

It seems to be a bug in android command (sdkmanager) and sometimes
it's ignoring command line arguments:

+ exec java -Xmx256M -Djava.ext.dirs=/opt/android-sdk/tools/lib/x86:/
opt/android-sdk/tools/lib -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir=/opt/
android-sdk/tools -jar /opt/android-sdk/tools/lib/sdkmanager.jar
update sdk
No command line parameters provided, launching UI.
See 'android --help' for operations from the command line.

 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] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

2009-11-15 Thread Dianne Hackborn

This is the intended behavior.  There are basically five actions you need to
care about.  For all of them, you can mask out ACTION_MASK to just look at
the action part.

These three are all you need to care about if you aren't interesting in
multitouch:

1. ACTION_DOWN, the existing standard action for the first press.
2. ACTION_MOVE, any change in state that doesn't involve a finger going up
or down.
3. ACTION_UP, the existing standard action for the last release.

And if you want to keep track of addition fingers going down, you want
these:

4. ACTION_POINTER_DOWN, when an addition pointer goes down.  The pointer ID
mask tells you the new identifier for this pointer.
5. ACTION_POINTER_UP, when a pointer goes up by there are still active
pointers.  The pointer ID mask tells you the identifier for this pointer.

Note that it was deliberate to keep the actions for the first and last
pointer different from the other pointers, both for backwards compatibility
and the fact that the majority of code doesn't care about multitouch.

Now that the 2.0 source is available, here are some example uses of the API:

 I think I've got this figured out. Almost. With multi-touch support,
 getAction() can return a compound value representing the pointerID in
 the second byte and the action value in the first byte. For example,
 if two fingers are down, and pointerID 1 is lifted (i.e., finger 2),
 getAction() returns a value of 262 (0x100 or 256 to represent
 pointerID 1, and 6 to represent up for a compound value of 0x106 or
 262). I'm curious why it was done this way instead of using 0 for down
 and 1 for up, even when pointers are involved. Things get a little
 weird because of the differences. Here's an example (note I'm using a
 Motorola Droid phone here so this may behave differently on other
 devices):

 Press finger 1 to the screen (action value of 0)
finger 1 gets pointerID 0, no problem, pointerID is 0, down is 0
 Press finger 2 to the screen (action value of 261)
finger 2 gets pointerID 1, a little weird, could have been 256
 instead?
 Lift finger 1 from the screen (action value of 6)
finger 2 is still pointerID 1, action could still have been 1?
 Lift finger 2 from the screen (action value of 1)
finger 2 is still pointerID 1, but the action value is not 262 or
 257 it's 1

 It would seem I can't use the bitmasks reliably in all cases. If I
 always inspect the action value for the pointerID and the action
 value, I get messed up at the end because pointerID has vanished. And
 0 seems to be equivalent to 5, and 1 to 6.

 Is this something you'd consider a bug or is this how it's supposed to
 work? Should we expect it to continue to work this way?

 Thanks for your help.

  Good point.  Actually my example was not very good because at the places
  where there is an up transition, the last position of the pointer going
 up
  is included in the event stream -- so in all of these, you would receive
  both 0 and 1.  It is in the following move event that you will only get
 the
  information for the pointers that are currently down.

[android-developers] Re: ANDROID_ID returns null on my G1 ?

Ah yeah something must have gotten messed up on my phone then. I saw
some other posts where you were trying to find a unique ID per phone
(without requiring system permissions). Did you find any? On iPhone
there is a simple deviceUUID you can use. Is this ANDROID_ID its
equivalent? It looks like there's an ID from the Telephony manager but
then you add to add another (scary) permission for that?

Thanks

 Yeah, methinks your G1 is messed up. ANDROID_ID is stored, AFAIK, in a
 system SQLite database. It is conceivable, though scary, that this
 database got whacked somewhere along the line.
