[android-developers] Re: WifiManager.getScanResults() reports out-fo-date values after AP settings changed.
Thank u very much. I do not think rebooting Wi-Fi device is a must-have to recognize an AP. My PC network adapter has no problem with recognizing and connecting to the AP after settings of AP changed. After all it is too terrible to have to reboot your device fater every single setting modification of the wireless router!! It is very easy to verify this bug. Open the built in Setting app and make sure your wireless router is in the list of APs, then change the SSID fo your router, happily you'll have no chance(even after completely rebooting your router or disabling/enabling Wi-Fi of your phone) to see the new SSID in the list of Wi-Fi settings before REBOOTing your phone. Rebooting a smart phone like android takes up not a short period of time!!

[android-developers] Re: The GPS Shutdown Thing
This same code works fine on a G1 (1.5/1.6), Magic, Droid, Cliq,
Samsung Behold and Moment. I was previously using a 10 minute update
interval.
I think it was the firmware update Sprint/HTC applied recently. While
it fixed many of the gigantic bugs with the Hero, it introduced this
one.
I confirmed it with this test code:
public class GPSBugActivity extends Activity implements
LocationListener
{
private static final int MIN_TIME = 6; // 1 minute
private static final int MIN_DISTANCE = 1000; // 1 kilometer
private LocationManager locationManager = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService
(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME, MIN_DISTANCE, this);
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location arg0)
{
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0)
{
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0)
{
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2)
{
}
}
The log had the fact that it was removing the listener...but it
doesn't seem to matter...
12-05 00:20:46.008: DEBUG/LocationManager(1941): removeUpdates:
listener = com.gpsbug.gpsbugactiv...@4348f94012-05 00:20:50.201: DEBUG/
LocationManagerService(70): CdmaPollingThread exiting
I'm still not sure if it's actually running the GPS or just flashing
the icon, but either way it looks bad to the end user.

[android-developers] Re: The GPS Shutdown Thing
Alex, have you tried a simple test of just registering, then deregistering the listeners in an otherwise empty project? On my G1/1.5, I don't get this behavior, the GPS icon goes away shortly after a deregister. If it's a quirk on that device, that is worrisome. In that case, many apps will burn out the user's battery?

[android-developers] Re: The GPS Shutdown Thing
I can confirm that an update interval of greater than 35 seconds causes the GPS status icon to blink on an Sprint HTC Hero (Firmware 1.56.651.2). It does not ever go away, it will blink all day long. You can run and exit Google Maps and it goes away. So now I get to decide whether to have this "bug" or run my location listeners at a much faster rate than I normally would. >From the docs for requestLocationUpdates: Background services should be careful about setting a sufficiently high minTime so that the device doesn't consume too much power by keeping the GPS or wireless radios on all the time.

[android-developers] Camera Callbacks & Activitys
Hey guys,
I need some guidance here. I am using the camera to take some photos
in app and setting the 3 specific call back functions for the
different levels of photo completion. Now when the last functions is
called jpegCallBack I would like to start a new activity however this
does not work! I am creating a new activity and calling start activity
as shown below but nothing happens!
Intent startImage = new Intent
(CameraActivity.this,SubmitForm.class);
startImage.putExtra("image", image);
startActivity(startImage);
Does anyone have any insight into why nothing happens? It's driving me
up the wall. I even tried setting up a broadcast receiver and calling
a it in the on receive method but still no dice. It just does nothing
no error just nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Tom

[android-developers] Re: Whenever i move out from an activity, which is in a task of singleTask, activtiy is being cleared up to root of the stack
Hi Dianne,
To follow up on this, the package installer seems to launch apps in a
similar way Eclipse does, so, the same thing happens here as launching
from Eclipse:
// From eclipse:
Starting activity: Intent { flags=0x1000 comp={com.test.testapp/
com.test.testapp.ActivityMain} }
// From package installer (installing APK from the web browser):
Starting activity: Intent { action=android.intent.action.MAIN
flags=0x1000 comp={com.test.testapp/
com.test.testapp.ActivityMain} }
In both cases, I see:
1) App gets started (running entry-point Activity A)
2) App can launch a second activity (Activity B).
3) Hit the home screen key.
4) Return to app via app tray icon (expect to come back to Activity
B).
5) Instead of resuming already running app, seems like a new one is
started (now showing Activity A)
6) Hit the back key, oddly enough return to ActivityB - back key
again goes again to original Activity A).
There's got to be a way to stop this from happening? Users get
confused when launching from the package explorer. This isn't just my
app, this is happening with other 3rd party apps I've been trying out
to verify,
Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Getting contact name from phone number in 1.5/1.6/2.0
The code looks fine to me (except for the cursor leak).
When you say "but not on 2.0", what exactly do you mean? Does it not
return any data or throw an exception or what?
BTW, compatibility API will only give you access to the very first
Google account you add on the phone, so make sure the phone number you
are looking for is in that original account. For the sake of testing,
you might want to use a phone with a single account. Also, if you are
running this on the emulator, make sure you have the latest version of
the SDK (2.0.1).
Thank you,
- Dmitri

[android-developers] Re: Updates to the Android SDK
Sorry Dianne, my reply was intended for public, hit Reply to author by accident: "It was documented like so "The SDK version supported by the device, for example v3. The Android 1.0 SDK is v1, the 1.1 SDK is v2, and the 1.5 SDK is v3.", if that was supposed to imply that a device supported its most recent sdk version and perhaps older versions (in terms of the resource system), then the documentation itself could probably have been made more clear. All the wording and the examples suggest the implication that a device has one and only one SDK version it identifies with, e.g. 1.5 identifies only with v3, if not present it uses default (given no other qualifiers), otherwise it would of read "The SDK versions...", the 's' has quite some significance. Obviously the new "or higher" clause can not follow this single SDK definition, it is a behavioural change, not merely a fix of the documented functionality." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Android 2.0.1 emulator: Not able to get Proxy settings to work (tried -http-proxy and APN proxy)
Try using the -http-proxy option when starting the emulator. This implements a transparent HTTP proxy that doesn't need modifying settings in the emulated system at all. It used to be buggy in previous releases of the emulator (mainly when used with MS proxy servers) but this should have been fixed in the latest SDK Tools release. If this still doesn't work, try to use -debug-proxy as well, this will dump the proxied traffic, and send it here so I can have a look at it. Also see -help-proxy for details about the parameter. Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: how to capture key events with a window-less activity
I'm creating a Modal Dialog that accepts touch events outside of the Dialog and can be positioned anywhere on the screen with any type of animation. Dialog does not allow this. It's basically a combination of a Toast and a Dialog with more options. It's quite useful and has a very specific use-case. This is all implemented at the platform level... this question just seemed more appropriate over here. I don't know why getWindow() is returning null. I could spend time debugging, but I've marked this as resolved. Thanks for taking the time to respond in detail. Your feedback led to the correct path. You are correct in that I am doing something 'unusual,' but that's because this functionality currently doesn't exist within the framework.

Re: [android-developers] Re: [Android 2.0] Accessing contact's phone numbers
Hi Greg,
Take a look at the testPhonesFilterQuery unit test we have for
verifying the behavior in question:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/providers/ContactsProvider.git;a=blob;f=tests/src/com/android/providers/contacts/LegacyContactsProviderTest.java;hb=HEAD
Is what it's doing correct? Is it different from what you are doing?
Thank you,
- Dmitri

[android-developers] Re: [Android 2.0] Accessing contact's phone numbers
Hi Dmitri -- I am not sure that the old API is still functional. I am
using what I think is the standard way of getting a display name from
a phone number -- see the code below -- and it functions on a 1.6
emulator but on on a 2.0 emulator. Am I doing something wrong? Is
there an example somewhere of how to "get a contact name from a phone
number" that will function in 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0?
Here's the code -- it works when run in the 1.6 emulator, but not in
the 2.0 emulator (Cursor comes back non-null, but there are no records
so moveToFirst returns false):
public String getDisplayName (ContentResolver contentResolver)
{
String retval = mPhoneNumber;
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(
Uri.withAppendedPath
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL,
Uri.encode(mPhoneNumber)),
new String[] { Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME },
null, null, null);
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst())
{
retval = cursor.getString(0);
}
return retval;
}

[android-developers] Getting contact name from phone number in 1.5/1.6/2.0
Hi -- the semi-standard way of getting a contact name from a phone
number is to use Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL and append the
phone number, as in the following sample code. This works fine on
Android 1.6, but not on 2.0 -- is there a way to perform this function
that works in all versions of the Android API?
private String getContactNameFromNumber(String number) {
// define the columns I want the query to return
String[] projection = new String[] {
Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME,
Contacts.Phones.NUMBER };
// encode the phone number and build the filter URI
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
// query time
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection,
null,
null, null);
// if the query returns 1 or more results
// return the first result
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME));
return name;
}
// return the original number if no match was found
return number;
}

[android-developers] Re: Updates to the Android SDK
Well, if I check the file location for the adb.exe program in Task Manager, it's showing as from the 1.6 r1 tools/ directory (I have the SDK set as 1.6 r1 in Eclipse, that's it's launching that - if I change to 1.5, it loads the adb.exe from 1.5 tools/, but that doesn't help). And yes, I do have the tools at r4 already and I did disable antivirus (AVG). But I'm just not able to get past the error. :( On Dec 4, 1:50 pm, Xavier Ducrohet wrote: > adb isn't run from the 1.6 folder so that should have no impact. > > If you're having problem, I would suggest updating to the tools r4 first (or > ADT 0.9.5) and then try 1.6_R2.

[android-developers] Re: Using multiple layouts for different screens.
Chris,
PageToBeOpened.class is a java class that has extended the Activity
class, or one of it's direct or indirect subclasses (ListActivity,
PreferenceActivity, etc)
For example if you wanted to start a PreferenceActivity from activity
XYZ:
startActivity(new Intent(mContext, SearchPreferences.class));
given:
public class SearchPreferences extends PreferenceActivity { ... }

Thanks Jeffrey... This is a newbie question.. the view you referenced

Re: [android-developers] Re: Updates to the Android SDK
adb isn't run from the 1.6 folder so that should have no impact. If you're having problem, I would suggest updating to the tools r4 first (or ADT 0.9.5) and then try 1.6_R2. The new SDK Manager is a better at dealing with this. Also, if you have an anti-virus you should temporarily disable it as it will prevent installation by locking folder that needs to be removed.

If you start activity B with an intent like so: Intent i=new Intent(ActivityA.this, ActivityB.class); startActivity(i); You should be able to simply put finish() after startActivity like so: ... startActivity(i); finish(); Should work exactly as you state. The launch of activity B pauses A and when B 'returns' it should continue where it left off.

[android-developers] WebView.loadData(), encoding? missing chars?
this code,
...
s = "\u02c8\u0254\u0279\u0292\u0259";
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://", s, "text/html",
"utf-8", "about:blank");
results in garbage chars in the web view,
in the debugger. i actually read the string from somewhere else using
utf-8 encoding, so it must be a utf-8 encoded string.
printed to the terminal, the string looks correct.
the string
\u00e6\u00f8\u00e5
passed to the webview renders the correctly. i'm pretty confused about
what's going on. it appears that i am correctly passing the string to
the webview as the second string renders correctly. could the engine
behind the webview be missing a mapping for some utf-8 characters? i'm
not even sure if that question makes sense.
and ideas are appreciated.

For example, dialogs and pop-up windows all use this, and they work fine if called in onCreate or elsewhere. You must be doing something else to cause getWindow() to return null... though I honestly can't imagine what, since mWindow (which Activity.getWindow() returns) is set in activity.attach() (which is called before onCreate()), and never set to null after that. Also I would strongly strongly recommend using Dialog instead of directly adding a view to the window manager, especially if this window is going to receive key events, because Dialog implements a lot of the common framework-side higher-level behavior for windows... such as, for example, default key event handling. -- 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] Re: how to capture key events with a window-less activity
I would agree with you. I think the problem (or misunderstanding on my behalf) is that trying to call getWindowManager().addView outside of onCreate orphans the Window (getWindow() returns null). setContentView is just a shortcut for getWindow().setContentView() as you've mentioned. I'd post the code, but for the time being, it's not open to the public (or this forum at least). Your Android team has my code actually. Feel free to review it with them if interested. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

[android-developers] Re: wvga854 avd screen size problem?
I am having the same issue, except that I can't get the proper
resolution to appear at all (image 2 I believe). And my changes aren't
being represented on the AVD unless I uninstall the app from it and
THEN run it on the emulator. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[android-developers] Re: how to capture key events with a window-less activity
So the solution (or the problem) is don't use getWindowManager ().addView(view, params) if you want to capture key events. Your Window will be null. Your key events will go to Android Heaven. I'd think this was a bug or undesired behavior, but that's just personal opinion.

http://d.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.html This lets you put sanitized html content into a textview. It's great for clickable links or styled text with inline images if you aren't too picky about where the image ends up. It's going to basically treat each image as a character in the textfield, in terms of how it looks. The sanitized html is returned as a Spanned: http://d.android.com/reference/android/text/Spanned.html which is a really useful class, and this is a good way to start using it. Often if I want to display simple stylized text the easiest way I can find is to create some simple html, and use the above method. It's weak on properly wrapping text around the images, you can have one line of text to the left and or right of an image, but you can't wrap multiple lines around, so a lot of white space will be created with tall images. -My 2 cents On Dec 4, 1:02 am, Samuh wrote: > > The best way I can think of getting around this problem > > would be showing your HTML content inside a WebView. :) > > Thanks for your reply Bibek.

[android-developers] Privacy concerns using Android NETWORK_PROVIDER?
I know when Google's Maps for mobile with My Location came out that Google was "secretly" obtaining the location of its users to create its tower database. I'm wondering if that is still the case when using Android's network location provider to obtain location information when GPS is not available? Thanks in advance!

Just show a ProgressDialog, ProgressBar, title bar progress indicator, animated ImageView, or something, and do the initialization in the activity. Or, find ways to initialize the items progressively, such that you can start some the main functionality after a fraction of the initialization time. Or, spend more time optimizing the initialization process. To put it another way: if you find a way to auto-start your application without user involvement for the first run, that will probably be considered a security hole. Android goes out of its way to make sure that users run the app the first time, even if after that the app can arrange for scheduled tasks and the like. I am similarly concerned by your BOOT_COMPLETED strategy. Adding seconds of time to the boot process is bad for Android, even if you think it may be good for your app. Bear in mind that BOOT_COMPLETED is a slight misnomer, and there is a bunch of other stuff going on then (e.g., home screen launching, radios turning on), that your initialization logic will be impeding. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Thanks Mark Ok so for the first issue (stopping service) I will try your suggestion.

[android-developers] Re: open GL ES Games on Android
I agree. I think Android's complete lack of OpenGL documentation (explaining the differences between phones, how to optimize, etc...) shows that they really aren't dedicated to Android as a gaming platform. The Droid's hardware supports OpenGL ES 2.0, and there's no way to access it. What could have been an awesome gaming device was stunted by the lack of lead time for developers and the lack of an API to use the hardware. I mean, check out this 62 page PDF describing best practices for OpenGL on the iPhone. I think developers really need this sort of stuff to turn good games into great games! http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/3DDrawing/Conceptual/OpenGLES_ProgrammingGuide/OpenGLES_ProgrammingGuide.pdf I've done some work with the NDK and I would highly recommend using it if you need to render complex scenes. Since all the OpenGL calls in the Android Java SDK are passed through to an underlying C library, those calls (gl.glBindTexture..., etc) are _slower_ than most Java function calls. The NDK will tear though OpenGL rendering code because you're directly calling C functions. It's a great option - especially if you're porting a game from another platform. - Ben On Dec 4, 3:47 am, Piotr wrote: > You got the fastest one. > > I really do not believe, that good 3d games on Android are possible. > Java is too slow for that, especially that it has garbage collector, > that can slow down your loop a few times in a second. > > To get decent framerate, you must use a lot of tricks, for example > allocating everything before loop start. > > Imo it is not worth it.

But, after having downloaded the updates, applied changes, restarted Eclipse, the Android SDK no longer loads. The Android project option in New Project disappeared. It is the second time that happens to me. Every time that I update the ADT plugin, it no longer loads in Eclipse. I also noticed the same issue after having tried to also install the plugin for Blackberry development. After the install, all Android related features disappear.

Android 1.5 and 1.6 used: Home->Menu->Settings->WirelessControls- >MobileNetworks->Access Point Names to set multiple proxy/port/userid/ password configurations. My 1.6 emulator is working behind our corporate firewall/proxy. Android 2.0 has some issue where the APN didn't display. I used sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ telephony.db to manually set fields and make the entries editable (current=1). I could access local servers, but not get thru the firewall? Android 2.0.1 shows the APN with a default 'TelKila' entry.

This is mostly useless, because it does not > identify the carrier. Well, it wouldn't. That's why it's a country code and not a network code. But don't get me started on Android 2.0 and this CDMA stuff. Example: the CdmaCellLocation has two methods (getBaseStationLatitude() & getBaseStationLongitude()) which, judging from the name return the LAT/ LON of the site. Great, I'm thinking until I look at the datatype and see that they are both INTs. Which, again, wouldn't be a problem if they said, "To get the decimal value divide by 1,000,000", but they don't. Another beautiful mystery is that onSignalStrengthChanged has been depracated, but they don't state what the replacement is.

[android-developers] Listview inside ScrollView doesn't expand
I have a layout that needs to scroll off the screen because it contains a lot of fields. The top 1/2 of the screen will contain fixed-width and fixed-height TextViews. However, the bottom 1/2 will contain two dynamically-sized widgets; a TextView and a ListView. The bottom TextView may be 1 line of text, or it may contain 15 lines of text. However, the bottom ListView may end up with no space left over, those making it too tiny to even be useful. What I would really like to do is have the entire ListView be expanded and the entire layout scroll up or down. I can't seem to accomplish this, even wrapping the entire layout in a ScrollView. Seems the ScrollView doesn't ever add scrollbars and the ListView is limited to just whatever is left over in the layout after the top elements have been drawn. Is there a way to request that the ListView be expanded completely and NEVER have any scrollbars at all, so that the enclosing ScrollView will handle the scrolling? Here's a mock-up of my current layout: ... several text views, layout_height="wrap_content" ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Saving service killing without "startForeground"
Hi all, I had a similar issue. What I wanted to do was to run a short service on boot up and initialize a few items and then stop the service. I understand that its not a good idea to leave the service running for the entire life-cycle of the phone. I was able to achieve this by creating a broadcast receiver and starting my service (and do some post delay items). I still need to figure out how to stop the service part. Please chime in if any one has any comments on this. I also wanted to start the same service once the package was installed. I tried using the PACKAGE_ADDED, PACKAGE_CHANGED intents but I guess the newly installed package does not receive these intents. Can any one point to another strategy for starting up my service after my package installation? An alternative would be to "force phone re-boot" after the package is installed (obviously after giving the choice to the user if he wants to continue or not) but I dont know how to force that either.
