[android-developers] Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
My app involves taking a picture with the camera, or recording voice using the microphone, and sending the results to the server. It's a search tool. The UI isn't very complicated, as much as possible it is done in XML. For the droid we added some layouts in res/long that differ only in layout margins. I, like a great many Android developers, had to re create the look and feel that was established with our iPhone application. On the droid we had gradient banding so we pre dithered a png, but that was the art guy. The layouts could be simpler, but I have already repeatedly simplified them from the first version that had the right look and feel. I have some FrameLayouts, containing RelativeLayouts, containing single Views. It seems like RelativeLayout has been redone and is less brittle then I remember it, so I probably can start skipping the FrameLayouts. Framelayouts just seem like the simple easy way to control over lap of views, and I often have 4 over lapping views. I also have some linear layouts in side other linear layouts, but all with different weights. The 1 or 2 pixel differences between 1.5,1.6 and 2.0 make our application look worse on the Hero. I use ListViews, that sometimes are populated by CursorAdapters. I have gone back and forth between letting the activity manage the cursors, and managing them myself. (I'm referencing AdMob and other's numbers to try and figure out what Android versions I need to support, and what handsets I need to test on http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/11/23/admob ) Much of the code for my app was written for Android 1.0, 1.1 etc. and it has been maintained by different developers over the years. Now I guess my task is to go over every line of code and reduce how much memory is used. I've tried to check every static reference that wasn't a private static final constant primitive, to make sure we weren't hindering garbage collection. I don't think I ever store a context, but we pass them around everywhere as arguments. I can't really recycle my drawables because I'm not managing them, I just call setContentView. My activities have some member variables, views, etc. I create some handlers, but more often just call runOnUiThread. I guess I can explicitly set these to null in onStop... when I hear improve memory management my first response is to set things null, my problem is the unusual lifecycle of an Android application, it's activities, and it's static variables. I'm already prepared for my major static variables, strings, to unexpectedly become null, and write my strings to a private preference, or save my camera or microphone content as a private application file. It's all pretty vanilla. The networking is done using some included apache jars, I guess I could redo all my networking to use something else, that would make it even more vanilla. But I will probably wait until my application becomes less vanilla and we need a push solution. SoftwareForMe, I have read your post a couple times now, I think it's clear to me now. Generating a new version of most or all of our PNGs, especially our largest, sounds like a good idea. Is there a good blog post I can send to the art guy so he can understand what he needs to do? I'd like not to have to go 11 more revisions on each asset. It'd be real cool if there was an easy way to just remove all my unused PNGs from my project, before I double them. I have not go through and removed every PNG that is no longer being referenced yet. My 2 cents, Matt Kanninen Android Developer On Dec 2, 8:38 pm, SoftwareForMe.com SoftwareForMe.com softwareforme@gmail.com wrote: The bitmap issue on the Droid is really about whether you want to show more graphics at smaller size, or the same graphics at larger size. I don't know what you app does, but imagine that it's a 2d game, where the graphics are re-used a lot (land tiles, character icons, etc.). If you let the higher resolution screen show more of the game map at a time, your program will consume NEARLY identical memory to what it would on other devices. Why? Because the tiles will be the same size in memory; the only thing that would be larger would be the screen surface, and any back buffers you use. On the other hand, if you want the graphics on the Droid to look the same (same game play area visible), then without work, your application will take more memory on the Droid. Why? Because unless you explicitly avoid it, Android will scale your image up to higher resolution when you load them, so they take more memory. The solutions are to: 1) Create high-density images that are simply smaller, but occupy the same number of pixels. This way, loading resources on the denser devices won't take any memory, or 2) Resize the images after you load them, understanding that loading the exact same resource on two different devices may result in two different sized bitmaps in memory Of course approach #1 is the standard

You cannot use rmi package in Android since they are not available. You would perhaps try using kSoap or some other third party tools which you should ensure that they are compatible with Android.

[android-developers] Re: How can we do TextView Justification
Hi Archana, This does work. Specify gravity as whatever, but If you don't specify the width of the text-view as fill_parent instead of wrap_content, the gravity property is meaningless. So, first set the width as fill_parent, for horizontal gravity props, and height as fill_parent for vertical props. Note: It doesn't necessarily have to be fill_parent, but is should certainly not be wrap_content. Instead, you can specify a sp/dip value so that we get space around the text view for the gravity to work.

[android-developers] Advice for uploading my apps
Hi all. Just need some help before I upload my apps. The title I wanted to give my app is too long for the small icon. However looking at the market, I notice that other people have got around this by giving a longer name to the app that appears on the market list, and a shorter name to the app itself once it is installed. For example, the is a calculator app called RealCalc Scientific Calculator but when you install it it just appears as Calculator. How do I go about this? Does the market ask you for an app name when you upload, where you can put anything you like? Also, what about the actual .apk filename - is that important, and have any bearing on the name that appears when someone downloads the app?

You are setting the padding to be 36 pixels, which is going to be too
small on a high density display. On high density displays, Android
scales assets/dimensions/etc. up by 1.5, meaning a 20x20 image becomes
30x30. You should NEVER use hard coded pixel values precisely for that
reason. The easiest solution for you is to define your generic view
inside an XML layout file and inflate it at runtime. And make sure to
use the dip unit when specifying the padding or the height of the
generic view (your height of 64 will also be an issue on a high
density display.)

For example, the is a calculator app called RealCalc Scientific Calculator but when you install it it just appears as Calculator. How do I go about this? Does the market ask you for an app name when you upload, where you can put anything you like?

[android-developers] Execute method when background task exceeds timespan
Hi all,
i'm trying to do the following:
1. Fetching an external resource through a seperate thread;
2. When loaded this thread sends a message to the specified handler
3. This handler executes a method which sets a view to visible
All goes well, but now i want to include an extra time, so that when the
external resource is not loaded after 5 seconds, the view is going to be
displayed anyway. But here's the catch, my handler function goes well, but
when i excute the same method outside the handler, it sets the View.visible
just fine, but the view just isn;t displaying.
the code reads something like:
Timer timer = new Timer();
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
date.add(Calendar.SECOND, 1);
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
displayArticleList();
}},
date.getTime()
);
// fetch the feed in a seperate thread
final Handler feedHandler = new Handler(){
@SuppressWarnings(unchecked)
public void handleMessage(Message message) {
displayArticleList();
}
};
...
protected void displayArticleList(){
Log.d(Here, displayArticleList method: +
ll_splash.getVisibility() + == + View.GONE);
if(!(ll_splash.getVisibility()==View.GONE)){
ll_splash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
LinearLayout alc = (LinearLayout)
findViewById(R.id.article_list_container);
alc.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}

Hi again, some more info concering the case of Milestones not showing protected apps from one of our customers here in Germany ... [SNIP] Dear Justin, I am one of the affected milestone users and I am far from alone. At least all of the milestones sold by amazon, Germany are affected! Milestones branded by Vodafone or O2, Germany are working perfectly. I know it is unusual for the USA but in Europe it is quite common to buy phones WITHOUT an carrier-contract. Those phones are NOT branded by Vodafone or others and they are simlock-free! Exactly those phones have no access to copy protected apps in the market. Our guess at the moment is that google missed those configuration and handles them as illegal (rootet) phones... are we right with this assumption??? But our phones are 110% legal with plain Motorola configuration right from the factory! It is not only that we can not buy or download any new copy protected apps. User who bought such an app on another Adnroid phone and now got themselves a new Milestone can not access their legally bought apps anymore!!! Google needs to react here really quick. We are honest users and your loyal fanbase! All of the affected phones have the following ORIGINAL Motorola setup: Model: Milestone Firmware-Version: 2.0 Firmware-Configuration-Version: GAS_EMEA_USASHLS00RTDACH_P001 Baseband-Version: 3GDMEPU91A_U_91.08.0DP Baseband-Configuration-Version: UCASHLSEMEAB1B803F.0R Kernel-Version: 2.6.29-omap1 a21...@ca25rhe53 #1 Build-Number: SHOLS_U2_01.03.1.125764182 PLEASE HELP US! best regards Christian [/SNIP] On 2 Dez., 05:40, rflexor rfle...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, thanks for participating in this thread, Justin!

as a general rule you should not be doing anything from a click on an
EditText''
ok, is there a way to be notified that the user intends to start
entering input into an EditText then? I want to display a little image
when the user either:
A) clicks on the EditText
B) touches the EditText.
I don't want to display the image when the EditText simply gets focus,
because that occurs when the user scrolls over the EditText with the
trackball (for my users, different then explicitly tapping the field
or scrolling to it, then hitting DPAD_CENTER).
There must be some way to know when an EditText is ready for editing
by the user, without breaking other aspects of the system?

However, if I try running a test to see if a keypad is active for the

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext

can track when the edit text is clicked.

Re: [android-developers] Re: getLastKnownLocation *again*
To reiterate what's been said, you only want to use getLastKnownLocation() *ONCE*, at start up, to give you *something* to work with - a starting point. After that you should be relying only on the location provider updates for the most accurate location information. I would suggest you do what jotobjects suggests and log the different location values. I wouldn't be surprised if getLastKnownLocation() is different the whatever the location provider returns as the most current, since it's entirely possible that the system only updates the last known location once that last provider is unregistered. It would be like the bank saying we can't tell you what your balance is now, but we can tell you what it was last Tuesday It's more like we can show your balance from Tuesday immediately, since we have it already on hand, while we load up your most recent transactions. It *must* be possible or the Google Nav and Maps wouldn't work either. Those apps work the same way. At least as far as I can tell, when starting up Google Maps it generally jumps to the last place I had used GPS at (ie, getLastKnownLocation()) and then pans to my current location as soon as it has a fix. - TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 7:18 PM, stanlick stanl...@gmail.com wrote: When your app needs to show where *you are* -- where *you were* isn't going to cut it.

If an immediate location is required, applications may use the getLastKnownLocation(String) method. You could verify that getLastKnownLocation(providerName) returns the same Location as the argument to onLocationChanged() by logging getLatitude(), getLongitude(), and getProvider() for both Location values.

[android-developers] Translucent Activity not calling onStop() on exit
I'm having this strange issue where upon exiting a subactivity that is translucent (android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Translucent ) the onStop() method doesn't appear to be called. I have a TimerTask that runs and is supposed to be terminated when the subactivity ends in the onStop() method, but I'm instead left with an orphaned thread running in the background.

Re: [android-developers] saving applications state
Are you *sure* *onSaveInstanceState*() is actually being called? This will only happen if your app is in danger of being killed off when you don't want it to be. Try opening a bunch of other apps (like the browser which is pretty heavy) after yours is open and it will probably trigger onSaveInstanceState() once your app gets kicked from memory. Go back to your app and it should trigger onRestoreIntanceState() and the bundle in onCreate() should not be null. - TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 10:52 PM, and.pradeep and.prad...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am working with the saving an applications state.

onLocationChanged() method. it is perfectly working when i am testing
using emulator control in eclipse. when its accessing from the real

ad longitude.
Here is my code which used to get the current location.
/*Code*/
public GeoLocationManger(Activity activity) {
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) activity
.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
List providers = locationManager.getProviders(criteria,true);
if(providers != null providers.size() 0){
LocationProvider pro

}
else

activity);
}
}
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
this.latitude = location.getLatitude();
this.longitude = location.getLongitude();
}

is there any settings need to do with phone?

Re: [android-developers] Global notification for user input?
If you have a lengthy background process, I assume you're using a Service,
which already has a Context associated with it.
If you're not using a Service, you probably should be, then when you're done
post a notification to the user that their input is required to complete the
action, and when they click the notification, launch a new Activity (that
perhaps is styled to look like a popup dialog) that accepts the input you
need to complete the task.

Re: [android-developers] Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
Hi Matt, I'm not aware of any other source. This we learned on our own on Friday, November 6th (Droid release day :-) To put it simply, say I have a 64x64 .png resource and use: Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(...) I will get a 64x64, 32-bit in-memory bitmap. If I use the exact same code, and the exact same resource (in the 'drawable' folder) on the Droid, I get a larger bitmap; I don't remember the exact size, but I'll guess 86x86 pixels. It's the same image, stretched by Android so that when rendered, it will take approximately the same real screen space (not pixel space). So, if I wanted to always get the raw 64x64 image, I'd need to do one of: 1) Load the image scaled, or 2) Place the 64x64 image in the drawable-hdpi folder I hope that's clearer. If you find a good resource for advice, please share :-) SoftwareForMe.com Makers of PhoneMyPC Imagine Multi-touch On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 12:22 AM, Matt Kanninen mathias...@gmail.com wrote: My app involves taking a picture with the camera, or recording voice using the microphone, and sending the results to the server. It's a search tool. The UI isn't very complicated, as much as possible it is done in XML. For the droid we added some layouts in res/long that differ only in layout margins. I, like a great many Android developers, had to re create the look and feel that was established with our iPhone application. On the droid we had gradient banding so we pre dithered a png, but that was the art guy. The layouts could be simpler, but I have already repeatedly simplified them from the first version that had the right look and feel. I have some FrameLayouts, containing RelativeLayouts, containing single Views. It seems like RelativeLayout has been redone and is less brittle then I remember it, so I probably can start skipping the FrameLayouts. Framelayouts just seem like the simple easy way to control over lap of views, and I often have 4 over lapping views. I also have some linear layouts in side other linear layouts, but all with different weights. The 1 or 2 pixel differences between 1.5,1.6 and 2.0 make our application look worse on the Hero. I use ListViews, that sometimes are populated by CursorAdapters. I have gone back and forth between letting the activity manage the cursors, and managing them myself. (I'm referencing AdMob and other's numbers to try and figure out what Android versions I need to support, and what handsets I need to test on http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/11/23/admob ) Much of the code for my app was written for Android 1.0, 1.1 etc. and it has been maintained by different developers over the years. Now I guess my task is to go over every line of code and reduce how much memory is used. I've tried to check every static reference that wasn't a private static final constant primitive, to make sure we weren't hindering garbage collection. I don't think I ever store a context, but we pass them around everywhere as arguments. I can't really recycle my drawables because I'm not managing them, I just call setContentView. My activities have some member variables, views, etc. I create some handlers, but more often just call runOnUiThread. I guess I can explicitly set these to null in onStop... when I hear improve memory management my first response is to set things null, my problem is the unusual lifecycle of an Android application, it's activities, and it's static variables. I'm already prepared for my major static variables, strings, to unexpectedly become null, and write my strings to a private preference, or save my camera or microphone content as a private application file. It's all pretty vanilla. The networking is done using some included apache jars, I guess I could redo all my networking to use something else, that would make it even more vanilla. But I will probably wait until my application becomes less vanilla and we need a push solution. SoftwareForMe, I have read your post a couple times now, I think it's clear to me now. Generating a new version of most or all of our PNGs, especially our largest, sounds like a good idea. Is there a good blog post I can send to the art guy so he can understand what he needs to do? I'd like not to have to go 11 more revisions on each asset. It'd be real cool if there was an easy way to just remove all my unused PNGs from my project, before I double them. I have not go through and removed every PNG that is no longer being referenced yet.

[android-developers] modify Contacts.apk for use with Softbank
Hi, I currently living in Japan, and I own a HTC Magic. I'm currently subscribed to Softbank and have no intention of moving to Docomo or any other carriers. I'd like to modify the Contacts.apk to allow me to send MMS to my contact's email address instead of their phone number. The reason for this is that in Japan, the only way to send a MMS to other carriers is via email. However, the email addresses that the carriers provide requires you to send the email through their gateway, and the only way to do this is to send them as MMSes through the messaging app. Currently, I am able to send/receive emails via the messaging app by entering the email address manually. So I'm hoping to modify the Contacts app to allow me to add a new action that will open up the messaging app, convert the message to MMS automatically, and insert the contact's email address as the recipient. So I'm hoping someone can help me; 1. Add a new menu called Send S!Mail (that's what MMS is called here) on the long-press menu and when viewing contact details 2. Start the messaging app when the user taps on the new menu 3. Automatically tell the messaging app that you want to send an MMS and convert it accordingly (add a subject field, etc) 4. Add the contact's email address into the To field I don't think it's too difficult to do this, but since I've very new to Android development, I have no idea where to start. I'm currently looking through the source for the Contacts app, and figuring out what the variables mean. By the way, my Magic is on Android 1.6 (Donut) and my devkit is on a Linux (Ubuntu) platform, also compiled for 1.6 Donut and the HTC Sapphire (Magic).

I have the same problem... but whats worse is that the downloader stalls half way through and doesn't complete the download. Is there a way to do this manually or some way to fix the problem?

[android-developers] Issues with Notepad tutorial v1 getting the AndroidManifest.xml to work
Hi, Before I begin I should mention that I am new to the android platform. I've been following the notepad exercise 1 tutorial, unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. In Eclipse once I create a new android project with existing resources and point it to notepadv1 folder, I get the following error: Notepadv1]AndroidManifest.xml file missing! I've tried Android tools- fix project properties, and I've tried cleaning the project (all that seems to do is double the error messages). If anyone could let me know how to tackle this problem, it'd be much appreciated. By the way, I'm using android 1.1 to build currently.

[android-developers] Re: How to notify CursorAdapter changes in my own ContentProvider
As described in the ContentResolver chapter of the Development Guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html As a courtesy, you might also want to call ContentResolver.notifyChange() to notify listeners when there are modifications to the data.

[android-developers] Testing an Asynchronous Activity
Apologies if this is a widely asked question. I did take a look. I'm using a web service disguised as a ContentProvider and AsyncQueryHandler to isolate my activity from the delays of transport. My question is: during testing, how can I determine when my activity has retrieved the data from the web service? That would be after onQueryComplete() in the AsyncQueryHandler has come back with the real data. During manual testing, I just sit there and wait until the view updates. How can I do that using ActivityUnitTestCase and ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] @Justin: Which infos do you need?!
Hi Justin, I am one of the affected Milestone owners and can provide you with whatever information necessary about my phone. It is carrier-free (!) and from amazon.de. I know this is unusual in the USA but quite common in europe. Therefore there is no carrier dedicated firmware with branding or simlock aplied. Just plain Motorola firmware. My guess at the moment is that this firmware type is not yet integrated as legal in the market. May that be??? Firmware: V2.0 GAS_EMEA_USASHLS00RTDACH_P001 Baseband: 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.08.0DPUCASHLSEMEAB1B803F.0R I have contact (through a german forum) to many other affected milestone users and love to give you any information you might need! Please do not hesitate to contact me!!! We would love to buy some apps ;-) Christian On 1 Dez., 22:32, Justin (Google Employee) j...@google.com wrote: The issue with Milestone not seeing copy protected apps is completely separate. There may be some Milestone configurations that Market doesn't know about yet and as they are foreign Market assumes they may be unsafe to show copy protected apps to. We'll look into this. If posters can respond with what carriers the users seeing issues are on, that would be helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Timer
Sorry, Can't do it! You need to track a timer when you set it. There's no way to poll the system. You can also notice that a set timer does not persist through a phone boot and would need to be reset in that case.

[android-developers] Re: How to install my app and keep an icon from showing up in the application tray
Thanks. That works. BUT... I should have clarified myself a little bit. Not only do I want to prevent the icon from getting placed in the app tray, but I still need the main activity to run and display a message to the user. I suppose I can write my own class that extends Application and create an Intent that shows this Activity in onCreate? I'll give that a try, but if you've got a better idea, please let me know. :) - Mike On Dec 3, 9:39 am, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: Remove the LAUNCHER category from the activity's intent filter in the manifest. - TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered deviceshttp://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 10:09 AM, Mike michaeldouglaskra...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I've got an app that I would like to install without having an icon show up in the application tray.
