Re: [android-developers] Re: why is my app asking to access phone calls and storage?
I think you didn't understand Dianne's answer. Prior to 1.6, those operations did not require a permission; all apps could get that information. In 1.6 and later, those operations require the appropriate permissions to work. An app targeting 1.6 or later will have an appropriate manifest; if they need the permissions they will ask for them. An app targeting 1.5 did not NEED to ask for them; if you just restrict them, those apps will break. For 1.5 things to work reliably on 1.6 or later, you have to assume any "I was written for 1.5" program might need those permissions. If you assume they do, you ask for a potentially unnecessary permission, but things won't break. If you assume they don't, you don't ask for unnecessary permissions, but anything that DID need them will break. The former situation is better for both developers (who can target 1.5 without having things break on 1.6 or 2.0) and users (who don't download a 1.5 app on 1.6 and go "this doesn't work!"). (That said, maybe it would've been better if the install screen distinguished between "permissions the app requires" and "permissions that might be needed to support an older app," or something. Though that would be difficult to make intuitive.) On Nov 28, 2009 10:35 AM, "Max Binshtok" wrote: Diane, it seems to me that you did not understand the problem. I (and I believe other people) do NOT ask for those permissions in the manifest since I do not need them.

It says that "Hello World" application when to be installed is asking for those permissions although they are not present in manifest. Regards, Max.

[android-developers] Re: Question for OpenGL developers
This is not an efficient way to do it, not for 2D games, and not for 3D games. I'll explain: For 2D games like you describe, you do need layers, but putting each layer in its on view is wasteful, specifically in terms of performance, since the Android framework has to manage the life-cycles of all of them, and there's quite a lot of code running behind the scenes for each one. Other alternative examples are: 1. Redrawing the entire view, including the background on each frame - on a single view 2. Drawing each layer into a bitmap, and then drawing all those bitmaps to the (single) view on each frame 3. Optimizations can be done by redrawing only dirty-regions (for example) If you want to write high-performance games, you definitely need to use SurfaceView, and not a regular view. For OpenGL games, you can use the basic GLSurfaceView, and here as well, you need to redraw the entire frame - every frame (Of course there are all kinds of optimizations like back-face culling, clipping, etc.) If you want to create a 2D game using OpenGL, you can do it by creating a 2D projection matrix (Here's a good tutorial: http://basic4gl.wikispaces.com/2D+Drawing+in+OpenGL, note that not all gl-commands mentioned are compatible with OpenGL ES - So you can't just copy/paste this into your code, but explains the principles well) Here's the best resource to get you started: http://code.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/WritingRealTimeGamesAndroid.html Lior Gonnen UltimateFaves / UltimateFavesPRO developer http://ultimatefaves.wordpress.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: appwidget Image on Orientation Change Issue
Ok I think I figured it out. In certain cases when the widget is clicked i updated the RemoteViews to hide some on screen controls/ views using setViewVisibility on the remoteview, however I did not re- set the setImageURI. When the screen rotated the Image dissappeared. However this is odd because I would expect the image to dissappear on updating the RemoteView without the ImageURI even without rotating the screen. But it would only dissappear after rotating. When I did not go through the routine that hid the controls/ did not set the setViewVisibility, the image did not dissappear on rotation. I am curious as to what happens to the RemoteView on orientation change and why sometimes it seems to retain the ImageURI and others it loses it. In any case I have my workaround. - Ryan On Nov 28, 12:12 am, Ryan wrote: > I am building an appwidget that is displaying images from the sdcard. > I am investigating how to get the appwidget to perform correctly on an > orientation change.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dianne Hackborn wrote: > Also you definitely do get paused when the screen is turning off, so you > really should be able to fix things by doing whatever you need to there. What I'm trying to do is to work around bug 3755: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3755 OpenGL apps don't get notified of surface destruction when the screen turns off, which means they try to render onto an invalid surface, which means the GL system gets itself knotted up and shifts into a state where it won't work any more. We do get onPause() when the screen turns off, but unfortunately it's sometimes too late (there appears to be a race between surface destruction and the onPause() being delivered). It just so happens that with apps using GLSurfaceView this mostly works, and with our app (which doesn't use GLSurfaceView) it mostly doesn't work! Testing for ACTION_SCREEN_OFF is a reasonable workaround --- it allows me to distinguish between the application being paused because it's being backgrounded (which works correctly) and the application being paused because the screen's being turned off (which doesn't); but because it's arriving after the onPause(), it's still arriving after surface destruction, which means it's too late to save the app, so all I can really do is quit. But that's way better than crashing --- thanks! (What I'd really like to do is to be able to detect the screen turning off *before* it actually does so, so I can switch to a different activity and therefore artifically force a paused-due-to-backgrounding event.

[android-developers] Promote Your Apps
Hello, We've created a site that hopefully will help a lot of developers get some much needed exposure for their apps. Its called Mobilesoftee.com (http://www.mobilesoftee.com). You can publish your apps, and we will review them for you - Totally free of charge. Even if they are paid apps, we will purchase them and review them - thoroughly!. The advantages of mobilesoftee is that you can finally have up to 25 screen shots to show off your app. With each screen shot, we give you the chance to explain in as much detailas you want, how your app works. We will grade your app, and offer you feedback to help improve it. Once your app has been published on our site, we will then market it for you through our channel partners after giving it one of 3 awards. We are also looking for content writers. Please email me if you are interested. These are paid positions. Good luck in your app development, and I hope this can be of some help to you, Thanks, Vaz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Intent to display SMS
I've finally come up with this which sort of works. It uses the
message uri (e.g. "content://sms/123") to work out the thread_id.
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(msgUri, new String[]
{ "thread_id" }, null, null, null);
long threadId = cursor.getLong(0);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://
mms-sms/conversations/" + threadId));
int flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP;
intent.setFlags(flags);
startActivity(intent);
It seems odd to me that there is no way to bring up an individual
message (only a whole thread).
Is there a better way to do all this?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Detect/intercept screen turning off
I wouldn't count on the screen off broadcast being delivered at some useful different timing from onPause().

Re: [android-developers] Android's dependency on Google Sync
Market is Google's application, not a part of the Android open source platform. I don't know about browsing the market, except that there is probably some dependency of having you logged in or otherwise registered through that connection to know what to do. Keep in mind that Market deals with a lot of sensitive things like forward locked applications, the user's money, and simply causing apps to be installed on the device. Maps mostly doesn't get pushes from Google servers; it just pulls data as needed, and doesn't even need to have the user logged in to do that... though I wouldn't be surprised if things like Latitude are broken without the GTalk connection.

[android-developers] Drawing a Nine Patch image
Hi all. I'm trying to create on of these images, but Eclipse won't accept it once I've used the draw9patch tool. I've found other people having the same problem, and saw this comment: ..."I discovered later that the problem I was having was caused by the image not being exactly true to the nine-patch spec as defined in the documentation. Once I fixed the image to have a clean (i.e., no gradients etc) one pixel border it was fine. " I'm not much good when it comes to image design. What does this mean, how do I create my original png file to meet the specification for Nine Patch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Scaling images in WebView (interactively?)
Hi, I use WebView a lot to display web pages with embedded images. Some of those web pages contain images that are too large (dimensions) to display them on the screen without scrolling. So I would like to resize/scale those images so that they fit. I would be happy with any solution at all, but I would prefer one that would take into account orientation changes. And on top of that it would be awesome if a tap on the image would show the actual size of the image. Any ideas? JavaScript?

[android-developers] Problem with 9-patches in drawable for custom button style
Hi guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with a custom button style. I have the button states (9-patch drawables) set up in a drawable. The style I'm going for is a button that looks like it gets pushed down, i.e., you can see the front edge of the button until you press it. It works fine for the button itself, but the contents of the Button (or ImageButton) don't move when pressed, even though I have the 9-patch areas set up to move the content area for the depressed button states. It seems like it's keeping the same 9-patch areas no matter which image it's showing. Here's an animated GIF to help make the problem a little clearer, since I'm awful at explaining things: http://www.crappytools.net/button_problem.gif The button moves when pressed, but the icon inside stays still. I played with the Draw 9-Patch utility, and it shows that the content area in the depressed image should be shifting downwards like intended. Any help is appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Everybody should get angry about blocking from GFW. But well, what do you expect Google to do about this? China gov never admit the existence of GFW. If Google explains to the public that services used by Android are blocked by GFW by China gov, it's definitely against China gov. If Google builds some way to by pass GFW, it's against China gov too since they actually DO operate GFW. So no matter what Google would do, they would piss off China gov and get kicked out of China.

[android-developers] Re: why is my app asking to access phone calls and storage?
Rachel, thanks for the extended explanation but I did understand what Diane was saying. I just don't see how this can solve my problem. Or better put how this problem can be solved. I might be wrong (I probably am) but I remember that initially I wanted to get the IMEI or something and without requesting PHONE_STATE the app crashed. But it was on 1.0 and not 1.5. Doesn't matter now anyway. Diane, what would be the right place to put this? It was just before in my manifest, which was the last tag in the manifest. I tried removing it and adding through the "wizard" the "wizard" placed it as the last tag in the manifest. I tried moving it to the very top as the first tag after the opening tag. Did not work. Can you please confirm this: "I realized that because I was installing the app directly from the .apk file instead of the market, the Phone Calls and Storage permissions always come up. When it is put on the Market, they are gone. Don't think this was intended, but setting targetSdkVersion does fix it. " message from Jarcikon (4-th from top). That was my original intent in the original post. If that's not the case - then what do I need to do - there must be some way to overcome this problem since I don't need those permissions. I don't want to put out a newer version to the market and have this problem and then I can't basically go back. I have updated my application to support various screen densities long time ago, but this permission thing was holding pushing the update forever. Thanks, Max.

Re: [android-developers] Overlays on Map
"Is there a limit to the number of Overlays that can be added to a Map?"
Don't think so, but if there is it's definitely more than two.
"My application works fine when I add two overlays, but fails for more than
two"
Fails HOW? What's the stack trace / exception / unexpected behavior?
"Any ideas as to why this is happening?"
Not based on the limited information provided. But make sure any itemized
overlays you're adding have at least one item in them. If you add an
itemized overlay with 0 items, it will crash when you tap the screen (I
found this out the hard way).

[android-developers] Re: app for blocking apps
I can think of some legitimate reasons. What if the user is a parent, for example, and wants to let a very little kid use the phone. They might like to be able to setup an application white list. Without a parental code entered the phone would only run a pre- approved set of apps that the parent has checked out to make sure the kid can't get in trouble with. I think the Xbox has a similar system where a parental code can limit the rating level of games and limit online content and contacts.

[android-developers] Density independence for GradientDrawable
Hi, I'm trying to work with the (wonderfully undocumented) android gradient drawables in a way that's independent of screen density. No luck so far. This is the gradient drawable that I'm using: It looks fine on a standard HTC Dream screen, but the scaling is wrong on the higher-density Droid screen. (I tried it both on the emulator and the hardware) If I try to change it to android:gradientRadius="350dp" I get the following error: Dimension types not allowed (at 'gradientRadius' with value '350dp'). The relevant documentation, is, ahem, a little light on detail: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/GradientDrawable.html#attr_android:gradientRadius Any idea what's going on here. Why can units not be specified for gradientRadius? Is there a way to specify a denisty-independent gradientRadius from the XML file? Or have I misunderstood what gradientRadius is doing?

Re: [android-developers] Problem with 9-patches in drawable for custom button style
The padding is constant in a selector, you cannot achieve what you want this way. On Nov 29, 2009 10:04 AM, "Jarett" wrote: Hi guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with a custom button style. I have the button states (9-patch drawables) set up in a drawable. The style I'm going for is a button that looks like it gets pushed down, i.e., you can see the front edge of the button until you press it. It works fine for the button itself, but the contents of the Button (or ImageButton) don't move when pressed, even though I have the 9-patch areas set up to move the content area for the depressed button states. It seems like it's keeping the same 9-patch areas no matter which image it's showing. Here's an animated GIF to help make the problem a little clearer, since I'm awful at explaining things: http://www.crappytools.net/button_problem.gif The button moves when pressed, but the icon inside stays still.

How about just using a preference? Something like this:

if ( firstTime ) {
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putBoolean("firstTime", false);

[android-developers] splash screen and low memory
In my game a splash screen is shown which preloads all the sound/ bitmap resources to be used by the game. The game consists of other activities that all depend on resources i.e menu activities, game activity etc. However when simulating low memory conditions in the emulator, I noticed that our game process was being killed and when pressing the back key the last activity that was on screen of the game is loaded, however it crashes as the resources are not in memory. Does that mean every activity in my game needs to check is the resources are loaded and if not show up the splash screen activity and load the resources before returning to the activity? Is there a nicer way of doing this? Can't I just make the system follow the normal pattern of starting my game i.e splash screen and then display the menu and then the user can choose to resume the game themselves.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!
Thank you Dmitri for the code. I've reviewed it and don't see any interaction with the AccountManager. One of the problem with SDK 2.0 is that pickup contacts is condition by having a user login with a proper account. My application crashes under the emulator because I cannot profile a Gmail account for instance from which to browse the phonebook. There seem to be a new AccountManager APIs. Can you or anybody highlight how this API works. For instance, when Starting an activity to pick up a contact, an app would want to make sure that the user has picked up an account and logged to it (if not, defaulting to the SIm contact list seems appropriate). Would it be possible for you to update your very good businesscardacitivity to reflect this ?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!
Thanks Jarkman.
2 questions:
1) Does:
int sdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK);
if (sdkVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR)
Return the OS/SDK version currently run by the underlying platform or does
it return the target SDK level the APP was compiled for ?
2) Is there a way for an App to learn what is the current language
(input/display) being used ?
Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Android in China - What is going on?
Let not be angry that China is blocking Google, getting angry wont help in this case ... this is just about understand the specifics of what is going on. For those of us living in China we are all very aware of the general blocking/filtering that has been going on for a very long time. This is nothing new and for the most part is related to political issues. Google does not need to take on the government or figure out some way to bypass the GFW, that would of course be pointless, but as we know Google has made every effort to comply with the government request and thats why Google search and Gmail (web based) works fine here. If they didnt work or were being blocked all the time, many people would switch to bing and hotmail to avoid the hassle or using vpns all the time. Now in the case of sync with Android its a very different situation, so again this blocking is new and only started since the 60th anniversary celebrations this blocking effects specifically Gmail on the Android device but leaves it accessible on the web (meaning is targeting Android) this blocking stops access to the market app downloads (again specifically targeting Android). If the market is the problem, google can very easily filter it, so what is the problem? In the past when google has been blocked, ie search and gmail, they have issued statements explaining why ... even if the reasons seemed unjustified, like the crackdown on porn, google went as far as to issue public statements and expressed a desire to resolve the issues and reinstate the services effected. This is because it values the market over here. Considering the mobile market size over here and the recent articles I have been reading on China Mobiles use of Android, I am wondering if the blocking is being done by the government or by China mobile or for some other currently undisclosed reason. Whatever the reason might be its unlikely that google does not care and I simply want to know what the future holds for Android in China. If the blocking is a permanent feature, then its important for me and others out here to know this and it would certainly help if we knew why. Thanks!

[android-developers] Complex Object Collision Detection
Hello, I am currently working on a collision detection routine for an Android based game which is capable of handling complex concave curves in 2D. I use complex in this post to describe any non-trivial, arbitrary shape (beyond circles, squares, etc.). My problem is that all of the various methods I have come across are either too simplistic to be realistic or too complex for a cell phone. At the moment I am favoring a tile-based scheme but I am having problems figuring out how to do this with convex curves that span several tiles and may have several line segments per tile. I gave some thought to representing the curves mathematically, with each tile being an interval of the function, but there will likely be points where the curve doubles-back on itself (think the big loop at the top of a pinball table that brings the ball all the way around the table and back the direction it came). My questions boil down to: 1. Does anyone know of a way of hit testing a given simple shape (eg. a circle) against a concave series of line segments (shapes beyond circles can be figured out from there) beyond just a Boolean result? 2. What is the best way to represent large, complex shapes programatically? I am currently favoring an XML file describing my levels and the objects in them with shape/position/physics/etc. data to be parsed in during load time. 3. Is there an altogether better way of doing this beyond line segments? The one saving grace in this conundrum is that I know the vast majority of the objects are stationary with, at most, three or four (usually one) dynamic objects moving around.

[android-developers] Re: View objects lose onclick listeners when screen orientation changes
Hi Joey, Use saveInstanceState()and restoreInstanceState() to save and restore the View settings. When the screen orientation changes, Activity will call saveInsatnceState() and can restore the saved properties in restoreInstanceState(). Thanks On Nov 30, 7:30 am, Joey Carson wrote: > Hello all..

HI, I want to integrate FLV/vp6 to android PV player.How can I do that?I have googled it but I have got only info The parser would have to be integrated as a native OpenCore node.

[android-developers] Re: Upgrading database for an app
Here's a snippet of code that may help you. I rename the old table,
create the new table, and then insert the data into the new table
while modifying the data.
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int
newVersion) {
Log.d(getClass().getName(), "Upgrading Database.");
if(oldVersion==1) {
db.execSQL(VEHICLE_RENAME_VERSION_1);
db.execSQL(VEHICLE_CREATE);
upgradeVehicle2(db);
}
}
private void upgradeVehicle2(SQLiteDatabase db){
//get cursor to old vehicle table
Cursor cursor = db.query("vehicle_1", new String[]
{"_id","vehicle","notes","selected","vehicle_uri","weight"}, null,
null, null, null, null);
while(cursor.moveToNext()){
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("_id", cursor.getLong(0));
values.put("vehicle", cursor.getString(1));
values.put("notes", cursor.getString(2));
values.put("selected", cursor.getShort(3));

[android-developers] Re: Android listview with pre selected checkboxes
You can create your own ListAdapter and then override the getViews
method to setup the checkboxes similar to this:
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.widget.Adapter#getView(int, android.view.View,
android.view.ViewGroup)
*/
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
Setup setup = (Setup)this.getItem(position);
if (convertView == null)
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.setup_mgt_row,
null);
TextView textView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById
(R.id.setup_mgt_name);
textView.setText(setup.getName());
ImageView selectedView = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById
(R.id.setup_mgt_selected);
selectedView.setTag(position);
if(setup.isSelected())
selectedView.setImageState(new int[]
{ android.R.attr.state_checked }, true);
else
selectedView.setImageState(new int[]
{ android.R.attr.state_empty }, true);
selectedView.setOnClickListener(this);
ImageView deleteView = (ImageView)convertView.findViewById
(R.id.setup_mgt_delete);
deleteView.setTag(position);
deleteView.setOnClickListener(this);
return convertView;
}

[android-developers] Soft keypad doesn't appear if EditText.setOnClickListener() is set?
Hi,
I have an EditText. If I set an OnClickListener for it, the ime keypad
doesn't appear when I click it (using the trackball on the G1):
EditText edit = new EditText(context);
edit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// ime keypad won't appear when this is set and clicked.
}
});
if I don't set the click listener, the keypad will appear when
clicked. Is this expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

[android-developers] Android SDK fails to run Android 2.0
I have downloaded the Android SDK and installed all the components. However, for some reason I can only launch Virtual Devices targeting Android 1.5. Any Virtual Device targeting Android 1.6/2.0 would only cause the emulator to show up for a fraction of a second and then terminated without any error messages. This is a strange problem which I cannot find any reason why, doesn't anyone know how to fix it?
