[android-developers] Re: Be Careful of Upgrading App with New SDK Version
I just submitted an issue for this so that the market can support multiple versions of an app in order to support multiple SDK versions.

[android-developers] displaying appwidget by broadcasting an intent
Hi all,
I am trying to display an appwidget in my application.
There are two classes in my application.
First class broadcasts an intent to the send class.
The second class extends an AppWidgetProvider which is a
broadcastreceiver.
In the second class i am overriding the "onReceive" function.
In the "onReceive" function, i am trying to display the appwidget
using remoteviews.
Following is the code for the onReceive function that i have
implemented.
@Override
public void onReceive ( Context context,Intent intent ) {
super.onReceive( context,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 ) ) {
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.setViewVisibility(R.layout.widget, 0);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.message, message);
}
}
}
The R.layout.widget_provider is the file which contains the
appwidgetprovider layout.
The R.layout.widget is the file which contains the layout inside the
appwidget.
The R.id.message is a textview inside the appwidget layout.
I am able to see the two toast messages.
But I am not able to see the appwidget being displayed.
My questions are:
1.Is it possible to display the appwidget inside an application?
2.If yes is this the correct way to do it?
Can anybody help me on this?
Thanks,
Anand

[android-developers] Performance problem when drawing in Overlay
Hi, I have a serious problem that i have spent several days with no result. I am developing a map application. I have extended Overlay class and overidden draw() method. In draw() method, i have to draw thounds of lines. So it is very slow. To eliminate the performance problem I have also overridden onTouchEvent() method, so that drawing actually occurs only after the ACTION_UP event. But depending on the user's gesture, sometimes the screen continues to move after the ACTION_UP event, so draw() method is called again and again until the movement ends. So the drawing is erased. I need to be notified when the movement actually ends to draw at the right time. I would appreciate any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

"Picking photo"), PR.action.ACTION_TYPE_PICK_PHOTO);
But I want to get the GPS information, file name etc. too. How could I do
it? Thanks!
P.S. How can I map the GPS coordinate into human readable address?

[android-developers] Android in China - What is going on?
For well over 1 month now my ADP G1 has been experiencing connectivity issues in China. Both the market place and gmail are affected by this problem (actually anything requiring account authorization from what i can tell) during which time they are both unaccessible. On average the blocking is in effect 90% of the time but at random periods during the day/night will start to work again. I have ruled out any issues with my phone and judging by the number of other users that are experiencing this problem it seems fairly widespread. My questions are as follows: 1. Is Google aware of this problem? 2. What is the reason for the blocking? 3. Will it continue in the long term? I am really hoping to get an official statement on what is really going on. I would prefer if people didn't jump in and start suggesting VPN options, whilst I am familiar with some workarounds, I would prefer to understand the root of the problem and how it will effect Android in the long term in China.

[android-developers] Detecting default zoom in browser
This group seems to be mostly for native app developers but I have a question for the browser. Is there a way to detect the default zoom level (or possibly dpi) using JS. Or maybe to force the zoom level using the viewport tag. Right now it scales all images and text on the page, but the image scaling ends up leaving the images slightly blurry. It also means that we can't size images for the 'Far' zoom level because they won't fit under medium level. This only seems to be a problem on the Droid as older phones have medium zoom levels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Passing referrer from weblink into app

[android-developers] Re: Copy protection bug statuses
These two Issues seem to be identical to me. We submitted our app with copy-protection turned on (not aware of these issues, nor of the fact that some people wouldn't be able to download our app as a result). We'd now like to turn copy-protection off so everyone can use our app. But before hosing all our users running Android 1.5, it would be nice to know which release (1.5 or 1.6) actually fixed this issue. Am I misreading the two Issue reports? Has anyone switched their app from copy-protection to no copy- protection and had issues with force closes for users running Android 1.5?

[android-developers] Displaying Text such as score in an OpenGL game
I have a the beginnings of an Open GL game running, and have gotten to the point where it would be nice to have the FPS displayed. Since I will probably want to be able to put score or other info up anyway, I started searching for how to do that. I found the SpriteTest example, http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/trunk/Samples/OpenGLES/SpriteText/ It looks nice, but really complex. Is there an easier way? -Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: compiling phone app
There are many different reasons why your project isn't compiling, but one of the simplest and most common ones I've found is that I sometimes accidentally build against one of the Android open source APIs, when I actually need to be building against one of the Google API releases, in order to make use of things like the maps library that aren't part of the open source APIs.

One effective way I have ever considered is: Market application maintains a list which contains the buying information for all the applications. Example: App foo: packageName;orderNumber;... Market check the list period: check all the order number with the google count in the mobile; if the orderNumber empty or illegal, check the app state: if not free, unstall it. For a better convenience, market app should at least check the app after 2 days the user install it. What's your idea? Thanks!

[android-developers] View bounds animation (within ViewGroup)
Hi Everyone, We're interested in animating the bounds of children in a ViewGroup. So to be clear, not quite how layout animations are set up now with scale or translation animation of children - but with the bounds of the children changing and recalculating the contents of the views at each point in the animation. For example, a ViewGroup with two equally sized children where we want to animate an extension of the bottom of the first child's view. I don't see any way to do with with the current animation framework, so we were thinking of basically calculating the desired end point for the layout and running an interpolator that calls requestLayout() at each step. Inside onLayout () we then calculate where we should lay out the children based on the animation's progress. Is that the only/best way to do it, or am I missing something easy?

[android-developers] Be Careful of Upgrading App with New SDK Version
I thought I would just post this to let other devs know about this issue. You should think carefully before posting a new version of your app that uses new features from Android 1.6 or Android 2.0. I have released a new app version that takes advantage of new Android 1.6 features. Because of this I have set android:minSdkVersion="4". This means now that devices that are still running Android 1.5 (HTC Hero and the upcoming Samsung Behold II) do not see my app at all. Ideally, the Android Market should allow the previous version of my app to remain in the market so that Android 1.5 devices can still purchase the older version until these devices are upgraded. I guess this is some of the device fragmentation issues folks are talking about.

[android-developers] Re: View background color animation
Thanks, for the lead. I appreciate it, and it worked. I ended up
extending the TransitionDrawable class so I could easily set and
animate the color. The code is below for anybody who is interested.
package com.digitalagua.view;
import android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.TransitionDrawable;
public class BGColorTransitionDrawable extends TransitionDrawable {
private int interval;
public BGColorTransitionDrawable(Drawable[] layers) {
super(layers);
interval = 500;
initVars();
}
public BGColorTransitionDrawable(Drawable[] layers, int interval) {
super(layers);
this.interval = interval;
initVars();
}
private void initVars(){
setCrossFadeEnabled(true);
setId(0,0);
setId(1,1);
}
public void changeColor(int color){
setDrawableByLayerId(0, getDrawable(1));
setDrawableByLayerId(1, new ColorDrawable(color));
startTransition(interval);
}
}
I set and call it like so.
ColorDrawable layers[] = new ColorDrawable[2];
layers[0] = new ColorDrawable(0xffff);
layers[1] = new ColorDrawable(0x);
backgroundColorAnimation = new
BGColorTransitionDrawable(layers);
vColorSwapper.setBackgroundDrawable(backgroundColorAnimation);
backgroundColorAnimation.setColor(0xff00ff00);
Thanks again,
James

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Anti-Piracy
I have always felt that there needs to be more granular permissions
for Internet usage. For example, with Google Analytics for Mobile... I
would like to see an "Analytics" variant of the Internet permission.
Or as you mentioned, if there is a phone home aspect, there could be
permission and associated URL listed in the manifest, so the user can
make that informed decision. I just find it hard to swallow that I
have to grant access to the entire Internet for something so narrow
and directed. Creating a public (trusted) intent would be a step in
the right direction... I think it would have to come from Google or be
a prominent open solution where users and developers could feel
comfortable that the information being passed through that app is
safe.

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Anti-Piracy
Presumably all these apps are just 'phoning home' for tracking usage
stats and such - nothing malicious (whether it's a good ideas is
another question). Couldn't the same thing be done by an open intent
that is called by all of these apps? Then the apps themselves don't
need to request internet access. Internet access would be limited to
that one (presumably trusted) intent. In the case of the intent not
being available on the phone, apps would still need to have a fallback
policy.

[android-developers] Re: How does CTS work? Where can I get the test streams?
I checked the source code. And noticed the location of testmp3.mp3.
But from some tool, the original duration is 3860 ms.
The expected duration is 4231. Which tool can check the real duration
of the clip?

[android-developers] Re: Another take on anti-piracy
It's possible I don't fully understand your technique, but I think it will likely cost more sales then it will generate. If it gets a significant following of apps it will be cracked (a simple solution I can see would be to simply reroute web requests for the black list to a pirates site which will return an empty list). If it doesn't get cracked you are going to lose potential sales from: 1. People who bought a used black listed phone. 2. People who have a blacklisted phone (because they pirated one piece of software) but they wish to pay for another. 3. People who find the idea of buying an app that may break on them later (blacklist site outage, because their phone got blacklisted, etc.) to be repulsive.

[android-developers] Re: Another take on anti-piracy
The only form of anti-piracy that has any real chance of working for a popular app is SaaS (Software as a Service). If the app can run entirely on the phone then the app can be pirated. Now some may say, "Well MyHelloWorld hasn't been pirated!" but that's only because it hasn't reached the critical mass (in user base) to have the pirates care enough to pirate it. The critical mass required for a program to be pirated increases as you put in more security measures but every security measure will be cracked once critical mass is reached. This means that unless you don't intend for your app to be a top seller (which seems to be selling yourself short unless you are targeting a niche market purposefully) then why waste the development time coding in all sorts of crazy anti-piracy schemes that will get cracked if your software ends up actually being popular? You could instead devote that development time to adding features that will generate more sales instead. This doesn't even take into consideration the poor user experience and expensive support costs that anti-piracy measures entail. Some security measures require the user to do something extra to get the app working (like entering a CD-Key); if I ran into this on the Android Market I would uninstall the app, get a refund and find a competing product. Other security measures try to hide from the user but then you have to deal with support costs or sale losses to deal with problems they cause; if I *buy* an app and install it on my rooted phone (because I want to install more than 50MB of apps at a time) and then it calls me a pirate what do you think I am going to do? First thing, get a refund. Second thing, go pirate a cracked copy.

[android-developers] How does CTS work? Where can I get the test streams?
Hi Friends,
I am working on the CTS (Compatibility Test Suite), but I am a newer.
>From my test, I found the following Fail:
-- testPlayAudio fail junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
expected:<4231.0> but was:<4119.0> at
android.media.cts.MediaPlayerTest.testPlayAudio(MediaPlayerTest.java:
216)
I have checked the CTS source code. And find the the following source
code:
public void testPlayAudio() throws Exception {
final int mp3Duration = 4231;
final int tolerance = 50;
final int seekDuration = 100;
final int resid = R.raw.testmp3;
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(mContext, resid);
mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mp.setWakeMode(mContext, PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK);
assertFalse(mp.isPlaying());
mp.start();
assertTrue(mp.isPlaying());
assertFalse(mp.isLooping());
mp.setLooping(true);
assertTrue(mp.isLooping());
assertEquals(mp3Duration, mp.getDuration(), tolerance);//
Error from here.
...
}
>From the fail analysis, I know the failed reason is that the return
duration from getDuration() is different from the expected (4231.
Should be 4181 to 4281). But my questions are:
1. Where is the tested mp3? I cannot find it any where.
2. Why do we set the duration for the tested mp3 to 4231 (final int
mp3Duration = 4231;)? Could we set it to other number?
Thanks very much!

I would not necessarily think it is odd that a music app would want internet access. There are lots of good reasons why it might want this permission. A flashlight, on the other hand, is less believable.

I know the G1 which I snagged off of eBay for testing certainly didn't have that in the listing! More to the point, not all users will be saavy enough to know that they should do this. Maybe they just got a refurbished phone from their provider as a replacement, for instance. Why are they going to necessarily know that they should ask the person at the T-Mobile store for the IMEI, and then a browser to check if that's blocked from running apps or not? Your solution basically assumes two particular data points: 1) that a blacklisted phone was blacklisted by the current user, or that 2) if 1 is not true, the user is tech-saavy enough to deal with finding out that the phone is blacklisted before accepting it (or to know how to get themselves cleared from the blacklist). I dispute these points as being generally true; a lot of the people who fall under #2 and aren't developers themselves are just going to 'why did this app say I was a pirate? I paid for it!' and then leave a 1-star review. For this method to be generally viable, I think there needs to be a /nice, detailed/ explanation of what has happened, and a simple button the user can push to request a review of their blacklisting. (Of course, the problem is then what do you do to stop the pirates from deciding to just endlessly request review of their blacklisting.) I'll admit that I used to be involved in the PC game programming community, where all SORTS of bizarre antipiracy measures have been tried, and many of which have backfired. So my immediate reaction to antipiracy stuff now is to look at the solution and go, 'okay, now, where's the place where this is going to go horribly wrong and lead to bad reviews or screaming users on the forums?' >> This isn't to say that antipiracy methods aren't desirable or useful.

They go, pfft, okay, well, I'll just trade this one for a different refurb, and let the dealer hand this one out again. (Or, "I'll sell it on eBay," etc.) My concern with the system isn't that someone was erroneously listed as a pirate, but that the phone was /correctly/ listed as a pirate, and then traded hands to someone new. >> In general, as a software developer, I tend to think that antipiracy methods >> that allow some pirates through are better than antipiracy methods that >> might flag innocent users as wrongdoers. > > it's completely your choice.

Pirates are resourceful; they'll find ways around things in the end. (See the comments in this thread about IMEI bombing, or reverse-engineering the system and removing the protection.) My general opinion of protections is that if you have a protection which the determined pirates have the technica

Very, very deliberately not supported. :) You'll need to look at the events arriving in a particular view and do what you want with them. It is too big a can of worms to try to treat these as different event streams, because they really aren't independent, and in many cases the view of the first press really does want to see all of different finger touches during that motion. Also the data you get from the screen is likely not going to be completely independent with respect to multiple fingers -- for example on the G1/Sapphire class screen there are interactions between the two points reported, and if you play with Pointer Location on Droid you will see that pressing a second finger can cause noticeable jitter in the first finger. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

The purpose of the pointer IDs is so that you can determine which fingers are moving, so we don't change them when pointers go up and down. In fact, there isn't really a "primary" pointer -- there is the first pointer that went down, which is #0, but after that it all depends on what the user does. If finger A goes down, then finger B, then finger A is released, you will see pointer #0 going up and the following movements will have only pointer ID #1 (at index 0 because that is the only active pointer). When the next finger goes down, it is given the first available pointer ID (there is no way to know "which" finger this is, so we assume the first available), thus you see a new pointer ID 0 going down. At the point where the last pointer goes up, no matter what its ID, you get the generic ACTION_UP. You can find out which pointer ID this is if you want by looking at the ID assigned to the pointer data in the MotionEvent. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

[android-developers] Pass Data Between Activities: HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects
I am trying to pass a custom object to one activity from another. There is a guide that I am using that can be found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/framework.html What I would like to use is the HashMap of WeakReferences, but the description isn't clear, at least to me. >From above URL: "A HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects You can also use a HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects with Long keys. When an activity wants to pass an object to another activity, it simply puts the object in the map and sends the key (which is a unique Long based on a counter or time stamp) to the recipient activity via intent extras. The recipient activity retrieves the object using this key." My poor attempt: MyObject object = new MyObject(); HashMap map = new HashMap(); WeakReference reference = new WeakReference(object); map.put(reference.hashCode(), reference); Intent i = new Intent(myIntent); i.putExtra(map); I know this is probably way off but I can't figure out how this is intended to be implemented based on the description. Are the keys hashcodes, user defined, or what? It sounds like all that is passed is a HashMap containing the key values but how is the object retrieved with just the key? I couldn't find any code examples or useful documentation on this method of passing objects so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0
You are right about what is going on. My concern had to do with the pointer Ids and the transition back to primary from non-primary. When you have one pointer Id left on the screen, the last action will be ACTION_UP, even if the pointer Id of that last finger is non-zero. That last finger switched from non-primary to primary as the second- last finger left the field. The following appears to work if you don't want to deal with ACTION_POINTER_1_UP-type constants: int action = event.getAction(); int ptrId = event.getPointerId(0); if(event.getPointerCount() > 1) ptrId = (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_MASK) >>> MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_SHIFT; action = action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK; if(action < 7 && action > 4) action = action - 5; After this runs, ptrId will always have the pointer Id of this event, and action will be 0-3. No matter how many simultaneous fingers are supported by the device. - dave On Nov 16, 3:12 am, PJ wrote: > Ar, I didn't see Dianne's response (nor Niko's) when I posted my > last response, because I didn't realize that there was a "page 2". > > Thanks, Dianne, for your explanation and for posting the examples! > > -- PJ > > On Nov 16, 1:57 am, PJ wrote: > > > I think I've figured it out for you, Dave. :) Bear with me. > > > Let's look at the constants in MotionEvent: > > > ACTION_MASK = 0x00ff > > ACTION_POINTER_ID_MASK = 0xff00 > > ACTION_POINTER_ID_SHIFT = 8 > > > This confirms that the lowest order byte represents the action and the > > next byte represents the pointer ID. > > > Now, the inconsistency that you observed (0 vs. 5, 1 vs. 6) can be > > explained by the fact that the action values for the primary pointer > > are different from the action values for non-primary pointers: > > > For primary pointers: > > ACTION_DOWN = 0 > > ACTION_UP = 1 > > > For non-primary pointers: > > ACTION_POINTER_DOWN = 5 > > ACTION_POINTER_UP = 6 > > > So, hopefully that explains why you experienced those > > "inconsistencies". > > > Now, notice that there are some "convenience constants" that we can > > use to prevent doing all of this dirty work ourselves.

Hi! It all depends on the frequency you set. For 8000 Hz 8 bit PCM, 160 should be good and for 16 bit you should provide the double e.g 320. This is for mono so make sure that you are using the same settings at both ends. //Stoffe On Nov 10, 11:00 pm, Bytes wrote: > Hi, > > Why can't you try AudioTrack's write() function ? > > On Nov 9, 6:51 am, DuncanLee wrote: > > > Dear All, > > > I connect onestreamingapplication voice output to androidAudioTrackin > > native code layer (C code). > > But I can heard voice loop. > > > if i put each frame(160bytes) toAudioTrackwrite() in each callback, > > i will get a bad quality voice from earphone. > > if i collect more frame(ex:3200, 6400bytes) toAudioTrack, i can hear > > clear voice with these 3200bytes but i can hear voice loop, it loops a > > piece of the voice. it looks like buffer empty. > > Question 1: > > Is there any correct size i should fill into write() in each > > EVENT_MORE_DATA callback > > > Question 2: > > When i play streamdatasome times, framesAvail in obtainBuffer() > > will getting negative number > > > Thanks for your BIG BIG help!!! it's pretty urgent to me~~~ > > > BR, > > Duncan Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Send numbers during call
Hi Roland! What you need to do is to play the correct DTMF sample. Please look at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ToneGenerator.html Since I work with IP telephony this is quite simple to do is you have the control of the actual voice channel. I do not know if Android supports this to play tones in an ongoing plain old telephony call. Maybe someone else can answer that. But if you have control over the voice channel then it is only a matter of playing the right frequency. What you need is a RTP connection and that call is established with your bank. There is a nice open source project called SipDroid ( http://sipdroid.org/ ) with GPLv3 that you might test to play around with. But because of the license in might or it might not be viable for your purpose.

Re: [android-developers] onNewIntent() is never called when use Icons
Hopefully you have figured out what the problem is.
I can't say I fully understand it.
But one thing is sure with "onNewIntent()". I have looked at it when I
was configuring an activity on behalf of "search" functionality.
This method is invoked ONLY IF this activity is on top of the visible
stack. That means if you are navigating somewhere else to invoke your
icons, and if this activity is not on top because of that, then the
"onNewIntent()" is not invoked.
Typically if this activity is to invoke itself for whatever reason, or
a service is to invoke it while it is on top then you will see the
"onNewIntent()".
Hope this is useful

However, since we can NOT afford this website any longer we are in desperate need of donations. If we don't get donations fast we are forced to enable ads, wich is something that we sworn on we would never, ever do. Because we want this community to stay (and I bet you guys want that too) we are asking you kindly: please donate. If not for the VIP-status, then for us. We may sound desperate by doing this, but we are. We have absolutely no income of this site at this moment and it's costing a fortune (we need to expand every month for more bandwith). You can donate by using the donate link on top of the forum The link is also added to the bottom of this email.

[android-developers] Rotational forces doesn't work if the Activity is behind another Dialog-themed Activity
I have created an Activity A, which is blocked from rotating. I have implemented this by adding android:screenOrientation="portrait" in the AndroidManifest.xml I have tested the app, Activity A didn't enter landscape mode when I rotated the phone, everything worked fine. Then I created another Activity B, which is a 'Dialog theme' Activity. Inside Activity A, I called startActivity(new Intent(this, B.class)); Now Activity A is behind Activity B, but still visible. At this point, if I rotated the phone, both Activity B and Activity A were rotated into landscape mode. android:screenOrientation="portrait" doesn't work on Activity A any more. Is this a bug? Or did I do something wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Another take on anti-piracy
Our company has developed security layer for Android applications. We will publish it later as a separate library that other developers could include in their applications.

I ran a quick test and saw (as others have) that this returns a single- character string with one character (0), as expected. (Stretching) if you converted the string to a UTF-8 byte array, you would see two bytes (0xc0 0x80) due to the way that Java specifies its "modified UTF-8"; see e.g. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/types.html#wp16542 . However, I don't see how you would get to something like 65533 (-3) from there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Yes, I am talking about the same!. Well! Google should be providing with some anti-piracy as Microsoft is!

[android-developers] Re: Positioning Elements with Various Resolutions
Here are two images that illustrate my question: This is correct, not how the dice are centered in the box and the gray box lines up with the top and corners of the white outline below. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26335/Capture11-16-2009-5.20.44%20PM.jpg This is in the emulator that is setup like the Droid phone: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26335/Capture11-16-2009-5.22.18%20PM.jpg Note the dice are now not centered vertically and the bow for the 9/10/ J is no longer lined up with the top of the white outline as above.
