How can I get my app to react when the Home button is pushed in the
emulator? The back button works fine.
I tried logging something every time onPause or onStop is called, but
the button isn't triggering anything.

How can I react to this action? I did research and know that onKeyDown
won't work either.

[android-developers] Re: High performance access on static data: What is your approach?

2009-11-27 Thread Marc Reichelt

Hi there,

I have an additional cache where images are stored on the SD card.
These are loaded pretty fast.
But my data right now consists of many objects with many fields. This
is a totally different use case.

Of course I would not use serialization for images. ;-)

  Hi!

  I am writing a program where I have to access some static data, and
  now I am looking for the best method of how to include them into the
  project.

  This is what I found out by now:

  1. Reading in the data by parsing an XML is *slow* (even using the SAX
  parser).
  2. Reading the data by parsing a CSV file is faster than loading an
  XML, but again is too slow.
  3. Putting the data into a Java file directly (e.g. by defining an
  array) fails because Dalvik says it is too large.
  4. Reading in the data using serialization is slow. The funny thing
  here is: It takes a bit longer than loading the XML file.
  5. Reading in the data from a SQLite database is the fastest method
  until now. But a bad workaround is needed: A SQLite DB can not yet be
  read directly from the resources, but instead has to be copied to the
  cache or to the SD card - even for read-only access.

  Right now I am using method 5, but I would really like to use a more
  simplified and faster solution.

  What I found out: Unserialization in Java is *fast* (reading a HashMap
  with 5000 integers and strings in 79ms on my PC), while the same
  action on my G1 takes over 13500ms. I know that I can not compare a PC
  to a mobile device. But still, there seems to be a big difference
  here. I think that the JRE directly copies the serialized data to RAM,
  while Dalvik seems to read every object step by step. Is this going to
  change in the future?

  And, most interestingly: what do you do to access lots of static
  information?

  Thanks in advance  happy hacking

You can't. Activities do not receive this key event.

[android-developers] Walking by dates using Calendar

2009-11-27 Thread Bossly

Next day, Previous day using Calendar

There are two method to increase/decrease date. add() and roll()
methods.

But use:
 calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1); // go to previous day
 calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1); // go to next day

not
 calendar.roll(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1); // set previous day without
month changes

for example:
 calendar.add():
   before : 31.12.2009 after 01.01.2010

 calendar.roll()
  before : 31.12.2009 after 01.12.2009

[android-developers] Detect/intercept screen turning off

2009-11-27 Thread David Given

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Is there any way where I can detect that the screen is about to turn
off, so I can do some work *before* it happens?

I need this to work around bug 3755: OpenGL apps sometimes crash when
the screen gets turned off because they don't get
surfaceDestroyed()/surfaceCreated() events.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3755

Simply put, I need to shut down OpenGL before the phone has a chance to
detach the GPU. The only events I seems to be getting when the screen
turns off are onPause() and onWindowFocusChanged()... both of which turn
up *after* the GPU detaches, by which time it's too late.

Can anyone suggest any way of doing this?

(In desperation, I have tried to intercept the power key, but the
power/hangup key is treated specially and doesn't generate keyboard
events...)

[android-developers] Re: wvga854 avd screen size problem?

2009-11-27 Thread Pieter

You app probably runs in compatibility mode, presenting a lower
virtual resolution and then scaling all graphics up to the actual
device resolution. For more information, see the supports-screens
manifest element:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6.html
and:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html

The abundance of Android phones is something we (as Android
developers) have to live with. I think of it as a mixed blessing:
because of the many Android phones the target audience is much bigger
than would be the case with a single phone. Because of this the
Android platform has a fighting chance to become one of the dominant
mobile platforms. Only then Android can become a viable platform for
profitable software development.

Extending the default theme and overriding WindowTitle's

One workaround is to replace the title using

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

2009-11-27 Thread rflexor

Now that the new Motorola Milestone Phones came out in Germany (aka
Droid in the US) we, too, are facing the problem of users not seeing
our application in the market.

Our settings:

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 /

supports-screens
android:smallScreens=true
android:normalScreens=true
android:largeScreens=true
android:anyDensity=false
/

No CAMERA-permission.

Copy-Protection active.

The customer is using the standard Milestone ROM. He doesn't see our
application (GeOrg) in the market, while his partner does with an
older phone.
We already have some Droid-users, who succesfully installed our
application, so I really cannot see that it's caused by our
manifest... I mean, aren't Milestone and Droid kind of twins?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 Indeed this is very strange. As I understand it, all Android 1.6 apps
 should by default be visible to HTCTattooon the Android Market, and
 use of the camera should not matter. I had even tested my app to show
 OK on a 240x320 screen using the emulator, and cannot think of
 anything else to correct. I was thinking of trying an empty supports-
 screens element in case documentation is ambiguous, but even so it
 would not seem to make sense to have the CAMERA dependency. Hopefully
 HTC or Android developers (Romain?) will figure it out soon, because
 this kind of market fragmentation seems unnecessary.

   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.htmlIf
   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 HTCTattoobuyers seem annoyed, judging fromhttp://
 androinica.com/2009/10/11/htc-tattoos-android-market-will-not-...

[android-developers] Use Camera API for normal quality pictures

2009-11-27 Thread benbenbenben

I'm using the default camera API of Android 1.6 like this:

Intent photoIntent = new 
Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
photoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(new 
File
(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), 
test.jpg)));
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, 1);


But the image is saved on very low resolution 512 x 348. I added the
QUALITY property but it doesn't make sence:

photoPickerIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);


There are many more posts on the internet talking about this issue but
there's no solution (jet). Is it solved on 2.0??? I realy need the
high resolution image (3MP).

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Thus far there seem to be 2 separate patterns: apps can be invisible

apps can be invisible on the Market for HTC Tattoo when the CAMERA

[android-developers] Re: Pixel Format Conversion in SF

2009-11-27 Thread android-newbie

Thanks Dianne so much for your reply.

So let's say in my example I am working with SurfaceView for my
CameraSurfaceView.  I have a few questions, hope you can help me.

1.  When this SurfaceView gets created (I assume via
final CameraSurfaceView cameraView = new CameraSurfaceView
(getApplicationContext()), this will result in a call createSurface()
in SurfaceFlinger with format, width and height.

How does the application pass these information like format, width and
height to SurfaceFlinger for the allocation?  Is it by
using .setFormat, .setFixedSize?

2.  How do they methods .setFormat, .setFixedSize related to the
surfaceHolder.surfaceChanged() callback?

[android-developers] toast

2009-11-27 Thread Greg Donald

How can I keep Toast from building up a queue of messages?

I'm working on a board game and I'm sending status messages back to
the user with this wrapper function I created for Toast:

private void toast( String s )
{
if( t != null )
t.cancel();

t = Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(), s, 
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT );

t.show();
}

The problem is I've made the flow of game play so simple I can now
play it so fast Toast messages queue up, even to the point where they
continue to show on the desktop after I quit out of the game.

t.cancel() doesn't seem to cancel out the previous message, anyone
know what I might be doing wrong?



Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback. I've double checked the logs and I don't see

In the meantime I've read the following thread about developers

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3f87972d1f99ee81/e28b5180bb404a79
(Our users complain that widget updates stop too)

So, I've uninstalled TaskKiller, run GoogleMaps to generate a process
kill from Android. Here are the logs just after GoogleMaps starting:
[...]

[...]
11-27 19:26:00.424: INFO/abc.xyz.RefreshService(3603): RefreshService
started (abc.xyz.refreshserv...@431f1d38)
[...]
It seems to work now. The only difference is that the following trace
does not appear:
Scheduling restart of crashed service abc/.xyz.RefreshService in
5000ms.

Could it be a bug in your application ? or in the Android API you're
using to monitor running processes ?
It may prevent a service from restart. Is there any test I can do to
make sure ?

Thanks again.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Pixel Format Conversion in SF

Yes, you set the format and such by the setters you mentioned.  The relation
with surfaceChanged() is that this gets called after any such parameters
have changed to provide a surface with the new configuration.

 Thanks Dianne so much for your reply.

 So let's say in my example I am working with SurfaceView for my

 1.  When this SurfaceView gets created (I assume via
 final CameraSurfaceView cameraView = new CameraSurfaceView
 (getApplicationContext()), this will result in a call createSurface()
 in SurfaceFlinger with format, width and height.

 How does the application pass these information like format, width and
 height to SurfaceFlinger for the allocation?  Is it by
 using .setFormat, .setFixedSize?

 2.  How do they methods .setFormat, .setFixedSize related to the
 surfaceHolder.surfaceChanged() callback?

[android-developers] Re: Copy protection bug statuses

2009-11-27 Thread Matt Hall

It looks like I spoke too soon, we've had a few users on the Hero (OS
1.5) that are having the copy protection problem (i.e. crashing on
startup). An uninstall/reinstall fixes the problem as before, but they
lose their saved data. I've had no reports from other phones of
problems yet. Could it be that the Hero build of the OS doesn't
include the bug fix? I'm not sure, I'll update here if I figure
anything out.

On Nov 25, 1:09 pm, Matt Hall matt.h...@gmail.com wrote:
 A further update: We've removed the copy protection on an existing
 game, and done a new release and no one has reported any problems. So
 this bug does indeed appear to be fixed.

 A related note: Once we removed the copy protection our game was
 suddenly visible to Droid Eris users, whereas the final remaining game
 we have with copy protection is still invisible to them.

  @Override

  @Override

   You can basically have large sections of you app using newer APIs, and
 as

[android-developers] Advice on keeping app running/available

2009-11-27 Thread Carl Barton

I have spent a lot of time playing and researching (including subscribing to
the Mark Murphy¹s CommonsGuy stuff...excellent by the way) and I think I
have enough info to be dangerous.
I am just having issues coming up with best practices for doing what I need
to do.

My app is collecting specially formatted incoming SMS messages (currently
default port but will later be processing port-directed using Verizon
proprietary header info). I also need a UI application that will view the
current messages that have been received and allow the user to
read/delete/reply. All this stuff is working at this point but I just need
to make sure it keeps itself running at all times (or will always be
available when needed at least).

My initial thoughts were to have a service which starts at boot handle the
sms messaging (in and out) and incorporate a content provider in it to
provide access to the collection of messages (Sqlite) to other applications
requiring it. I tried launching the service from an activity but if someone
uses a task killer to kill the activity it seems to take the service down
with it. I tried having a service that runs at boot but had trouble getting
it to launch an activity when a new message arrives (probably my issue).

So, after floundering back and forth with my indecisions of how best to
architect it, I figured I would ask around to get some suggestions and then
attack it from there. So, any ideas from anyone?

Thanks,

Carl

  onStart(), just write it like this:
 
  @Override
  void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
  handleCommand(intent);
  }
 
  @Override
  void onStartCommand(Intent  intent, int flags, int startId) {
  // Consume command, so old onStart() is not called.
  handleCommand(intent);
  }
 
  // Handle start from either old or new method.
  void handleCommand(Intent intent) {
  // ...
  }

   You can basically have large sections of you app using newer APIs, and
 as

 use

Hello,

it is allowed to change the content of a file in the .apk archive at
runtime?
because the signature of the application will change.

Thanks in advance

Who-hoo! I make people dangerous!

 All this stuff is working at this point but I just
 need to make sure it keeps itself running at all times (or will always

I'd link to my Diamonds Are Forever, Services Are Not post on
AndroidGuys, but they're still undergoing yet another host migration...

 So, after floundering back and forth with my indecisions of how best to

First, services really aren't supposed to keep running. In fact, it is
the fact that developers keep creating these always-running services
that we're in our current war with the task killer applications.

That being said, there are five main ways a service can stop running
when you're expecting it to stay running:

1. You had a garden-variety crash due to a coding bug. With sufficient
exception handlers, this should not be a problem.

2. You are being kicked out of memory to free up memory for something
else. In principle, your service should be automatically scheduled to
restart when memory space becomes available. Hence, there's nothing
specifically you need to do here, other than be prepared to pick up
where you left off at any time.

3. The user terminates your service via the new Services panel in the
Settings application in Android 2.0. This will stop your running
service, but relatively gracefully AFAIK. If your application is
designed to not be in memory all of the time, but rather react to
incoming events (SMS, alarms), this should not pose much of a problem.

4. The user attacks you with a task killer application. There is no
defense against this, short of threatening legal action, until and
unless there are changes made to Android itself.

5. The user powers down the device, removes the battery, sees if the
phone can float, or otherwise causes the device to stop running
altogether. There is no defense against any of this, either, unless you
have some sort of USB-connected flotation device.

With respect to spawning an activity on an incoming message, that should
be possible, but please please please consider making it a Notification
instead, or giving the user the option of a Notification or having an
activity pop up in the middle of whatever they're doing.

[android-developers] Re: Pixel Format Conversion in SF

Thank you Dianne.

But if I set my CameraSurfaceView is of type
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS) for the

does this surface also serve as my UI window?

 Yes, you set the format and such by the setters you mentioned.  The relation

[android-developers] Re: AccountManager Authenticator only runs once per emulator restart.

2009-11-27 Thread Micah

It appears it's because there is some caching going on where my
authenticator service is getting launched, the bind fails to return an
authenticator IBinder, and then binding is not tried again for future
runs of the application.  Even if I install a new authenticator, the
OS never bothers to try it again unless I restart the OS.

Should I file a bug on this, since re-installing the authenticator
should cause the service's onBind to call again, instead of using the
cached one?

On Nov 24, 12:43 pm, Micah mi...@zoltu.net wrote:
 I have written a simple Authenticator service to work with the new
 AccountManager API introduced in 2.0.  When I launch a test app that
 uses the authenticator the authenticator service is launched (as
 expected) and it's onBind method is called.  However, if I run my test
 application a second time in the same emulator (without restarting the
 emulator) my service is not launched and onBind is not called.

 So far the only way I have found to get my service to launch and
 onBind to call again is to restart the emulator, which is a very time
 consuming process.  I have looked at the Devices view in Eclipse and
 ensured that all of my processes have been killed, just in case one of
 them was just being rebound to or something.

 Has anyone gotten takePicture() to work on a DROID?

Did you try any other picture taking apps from the Market for
comparison?

I cannot tell because I have no Droid to test with, but my app does a
takePicture() when key 'p' is pressed, so it is among the apps that
you could try.

However, I also have one user report stating that my app crashes
anyway on the Droid...

[android-developers] Re: Cant react to home button...

I figured out how to get it to work!

For the record:
I'm unsure of why onPause / onStop won't start an activity in the
emulator, if the home button is pressed (SDK 1.5), however a solution
is to have onPause create an alarm to do the work for you :)

onPause/onStop can happen for any number of reasons, not just pressing
the Home button...

[android-developers] KeyEvent and GLSurfaceView

Hi,

as soon as there's a GLSurfaceView in use, no other views receive any
KeyEvents.
MotionEvents however, are still working as expected.
Is there a way to prevent GLSurfaceView from swallowing all KeyEvents?

It's only deprecated because it's better to use SDK_INT if your

[android-developers] How to set location of buttons programmatically

Hi,

How do I set the location of buttons/other views programmatically?
Below is my program snippet in the onCreate() method of my activity.

//Create two buttons
Button button1 = new Button(this);
Button button2 = new Button(this);

//Create layout params. Here, don't know how to
//set the location (relative location or X ,Y)
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams
(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

button1.setLayoutParams(params);
button1.setText(Click this first);

button2.setLayoutParams(params);
button2.setText(Click this next);

//Create relativelayout
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutparams = new
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,10,10);

//Add buttons to layout
layout.addView(button1, layoutparams);
layout.addView(button2, layoutparams);
//Set layout as content of activity
setContentView(layout);

[android-developers] Re: KeyEvent and GLSurfaceView

2009-11-27 Thread Jack Palevich

I don't think you have fully identified the problem you are
experiencing. If you read the source for GLSurfaceView, you will see
that it does nothing special to handle KeyEvents. So the problem you
are having is probably unrelated to GLSurfaceView.

No, because I wasn't sure how I'd tell Camera#takePicture() from

 I cannot tell because I have no Droid to test with, but my app does a
 takePicture() when key 'p' is pressed, so it is among the apps that
 you could try.

Well, taking a picture didn't blow up. It must be there's some parameter
I need to set for the DROID that causes the SIGSEGV if I don't set it.
I'll have to poke around.

Not sure if it's the best way, but you can use padding to position

but you used to be able to use that to do what you want.

 Is there any way where I can detect that the screen is about to turn
 off, so I can do some work *before* it happens?

 I need this to work around bug 3755: OpenGL apps sometimes crash when
 the screen gets turned off because they don't get
 surfaceDestroyed()/surfaceCreated() events.

 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3755

 Simply put, I need to shut down OpenGL before the phone has a chance to
 detach the GPU. The only events I seems to be getting when the screen
 turns off are onPause() and onWindowFocusChanged()... both of which turn
 up *after* the GPU detaches, by which time it's too late.

 Can anyone suggest any way of doing this?

 (In desperation, I have tried to intercept the power key, but the
 power/hangup key is treated specially and doesn't generate keyboard
 events...)

As a crude sort of way to get around this problem, you can assign your

[android-developers] How to enable different css in WebView

2009-11-27 Thread James Wang

Hi, we have a web page which include two different css:
portrait.css and landscape.css.

We want load this page only once and enable the right css according to
phone's orientation.

We have a plan to develop a chrome plugin by c++ to make it which got
us to have to change firmware.
I just wonder whether there is more elegant way to do it by java.

Anyone can shed light on it? That will be appreciated!

Best regards.

James
