[android-developers] Manifest question

[FJMustak]

In my manifest, I defined , and when I published my game, I
got a user comment saying the game force closed on him.  I used that
configuration specifically because I only had access to phones with a
trackball (G1 and Google Ion).  How is it possible that a DROID user
was able to see it in the market with that attribute set (a droid has
a D-pad, and not a trackball)?  Could that have caused the crash?
I subsequently restricted Droids by using "supports-screens", until I
can test it out correctly.
Any ideas why the Droid user was able to see it? Or if the
reqNavigation attribute could have caused the crash on a phone with no
trackball?

[android-developers] Re: The GPS Shutdown Thing

[Mark Wyszomierski]

Alex, even if you use register / remove in onResume() / onPause(),
you're saying you still see the GPS icon get stuck on the notification
bar, unless you set your interval rate to something less than 35
seconds?:

  @Override
  protected void onPause() {
  super.onPause();
  locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
  }

  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
  super.onResume();
  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(...);
  }

I made a test app with the above structure, and sometimes the GPS icon
will still get stuck on the notification bar. I'm using an interval of
two minutes. I wonder if I have to set it to < 35 seconds to get this
to stop? What a pain.

Thanks

[android-developers] Tips on simplifying asynchronous/callback code?

[abnormative]

Do you have a strategy (an app-internal architecture, a design
pattern?) that helps you structure your app's use of asynchronous/
callback operations like startActivityForResult() and bindService()?
Dealing with asynchronous events is standard for GUI code, but this
goes beyond that into code where you pretty much know the sequence of
events. And unlike, say, a desktop environment, you usually don't have
the option of blocking and unblocking a thread to hide the
asynchronous operation in the middle of some straight-line code.

With a typical startActivityForResult() for example, you have some
code for preparing the request Intent ("prepare-request"), some code
for interpreting the result Intent ("interpret-result"), and some code
for what to do next ("do-next"). And the do-next chunk typically
involves yet another asynchronous/callback operation.

In my first attempt at coding a use of startActivityForResult(), I had
onActivityResult() call methods in the parent Activity. I couldn't
follow my own code -- the flow of control from prepare-request to
interpret-result to do-next was just not apparent in the code! In
another callback situation, I used an anonymous inner class for my
TextToSpeech.OnInitListener, but found it similarly hard to see the
flow of control implicit in my code.

I've experimented with trying to encapsulate prepare-request and
interpret-result for a particular sub-Activity in a single class, and
passing in do-next chunks using the Command pattern, but it's
debatable whether that was any improvement.

Can you point me at better approaches for structuring this async/
callback code?

Mark

Re: [android-developers] What is the maximum number of threads allowed per application?

[Dianne Hackborn]

I don't believe there is a serious maximum.  Or at least, if you do hit the
maximum, you are using way too many threads. :)

Keep it in the 10s of threads, and only a few if you can (there is no
benefit to having lots of threads since all devices have a single CPU, and a
thread is not an especially light-weight primitive, especially compared to
say posting messages to a single thread running a message queue).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Droid AVD (2.0, WVGA854) resolution hell

[Dianne Hackborn]

Build against 1.6 (or a later version of the platform that has the APIs you
need), be careful about how you use newer APIs, set the minSdkVersion to 3,
and make sure your app works on 1.5.

Just building against a newer platform doesn't mean it won't work on an
older one; you just need to be careful about what you do.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Same servicein multiple APKs, only want "best one" to launch

[Dianne Hackborn]

Yeah, that is the typical way to this.  For example it is exactly how the
launcher presents and runs applications, except it is looking for activities
(with action MAIN and category LAUNCHER).

You can find the package and class names in the ServiceInfo that you get
back, to construct a ComponentName from.

You cannot start charging for an app that was previously free. You will
need to release a separate paid app.

Same here.  Active install percentage dropped 15% in a single day for
one app.  Another app dropped 7 or 8% in a single day.  That is a very
dramatic adjustment with several hundred installs.

[greg1x]

I was planning to support 1.5 too, since it has 27.7% on the platform
version pie here:
http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html

So, I have to choose between high resolution on Droid or 27.7% of

The only way is to build a specific version just because 1.5?

[android-developers] Rotate animation applied to full window -- view crops width? How to fix?

[jean-guys]

Hi all,

I have a pretty simple view hierarchy, including an ImageView in a
FrameLayout with a source drawable that is bigger than the window
size.  Using scaleType=center the image is cropped and centered, as
expected, when laid out.

In response to user interaction we need to rotate the ImageView.  I am
using a rotate animation XML definition and View.startAnimation().
This works with one remaining problem: the cropped part of the image
remains cropped when rotated, so when the image is rotated by 90
degrees in portrait orientation the image is clearly cropped on the
top and bottom.  Essentially it looks like a rectangle the size of the
view window is being rotated, rather than the oversized image in its
entirety (note it is intentionally oversized in the hope of avoiding
this cropping problem).  We want the image to fill the screen
regardless of the angle of rotation.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Perhaps your activity was destroyed to free up memory for the video
playback, and then has to be re-created after you BACK out of the video
player.

[android-developers] Re: ($25 reward) GPS not triggering onLocationChanged

[dapaintballer331]

I'll try the time zone problem.

The reason I used your WakefulIntentService was just to make sure the
application stays awake, I'm going to remove this now as it is working
just as well as a regular service. This service is started from
another service, which was triggered by an alarm. In regards to you
underground issue, it's a not a problem. The service that starts this
service will call the stopSelf method after 20 seconds, which is more
than the 13 seconds it waits for a location.

[android-developers] After Activity closed, restart of APP??

[guruk]

Hi,

I check within a Webview for a mp4 than I call:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
  intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), "video/mp4");
  startActivity(intent);
  return true;

to start the Videoplayer with that VideoUrl

FINE, works perfect.

But when i close the Videoplayer I would wish (and it was once)
that he just show the Webview as it was before (with the link to the
video)

Instead it restarts my App . goes onCreate again and than jumps in
onResume??
Usualy after an Activity is closed it jumps into the onRestart !!!

So what could be wrong??

thx
chris

[android-developers] Only onCreate and no onRestart after startActivity ! Please Help

[guruk]

Hi,
its quiet urgent. I thought my project and now i found a big bug.

I have a webview and there I call an activity

  if (url.indexOf(".mp4") != -1) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), "video/
mp4");
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}

The Videoplayer starts fine!

But when I click "BACK" or the Video ends... my whole Activity is
restarted with onCreate... I proofed.. and it does NOT call
onRestart!!!

So it always loads Splashscreen and all that again...

What could I do??

Thx
Chris

[android-developers] Sip voip apps for android: Is sipdroid the only joice?

[Ricardo Martins]

Hi all! Is there anyone working on an SIP voip app for android?

I tried sipdroid app but it is still tied to pabxes.org. It's a problem 
for people trying to use this app on locally installed pabxes. It adds a 
quite high amount of delay.

Is there anyone interested in a bounty for working on sipdroid code and 
opening it to any sip provider? We could either release this on 
android/sipdroid community...

Regards, Ricardo.

Re: [android-developers] Confusion in me app architecture regarding database

[Stephen Abrams]

Hi Alok,

I instantiated my DBAdapter class (presumably your "core layer") from the
(singleton?) class extending android.app.Application:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

private DbAdapter dbAdapter;

/**
 * @return dbAdapter, already opened
 */
public DbAdapter getDbAdapter() {
if (dbAdapter == null) {
dbAdapter = new DbAdapter(this);
dbAdapter.open();
}
return dbAdapter;
}

@Override
public void onTerminate() {
Log.d(TAG, "Calling onTerminate...");
if (dbAdapter != null)
dbAdapter.close();
dbAdapter = null;
super.onTerminate();
}

}

I'd be curious to hear what others think. I have occasionally seen sqlite
errors that I havn't root caused, but I can't think why this would be a bad
approach.  Any Activity needing a db connection can get it from this
instance, which should be available throughout the app's lifetime.

Steve

H...that's surprising.

If you look at the source code to RemoteViews, all of the other methods
pretty much delegate to setInt(), setLong(), and so forth. That would
suggest that setInt(R.id.your_layout, "setBackgroundResource",
R.drawable.foo) should work.

If it doesn't, then I do not know how you can change the background of a
LinearLayout at runtime in an app widget.

I have also observed market stats getting several "small" updates the
past few days, where previously I would only see "large" updates a
couple times a day.  Clearly some changes are being made there.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Are the market stats for developers broken?

[Justin Giles]

No, the downloads increased by 250, but the active installs decreased by
200.  Just seems strange that it has had a steady track record over a month
and a half and then just over the past two days with over 1500 total
downloads the active install number has actually decreased.  And the
percentage has gone down by 12%.

In the past 48 hours my active installs went from a very steady 83%
down to 68% but with the same usual amount of downloads.  Something
seems broken.

[android-developers] Viewing database contents on device

Hi all.

How can I view the contents of my databases on the actual phone? I
have followed the docs, using the adb and sqlite commands, but while
these work fine on an emulator when I'm connected to the device I get
a permissions error.

Thanks.

[android-developers] how can i upload photo to flickr in photostream project?

[zeeshan]

Hi Dear,

i am working on flickr api for Android and need some help to solve the
following problem.

after a quick research on flick api, i managed to authenticate flickr
by api, secret key but unable to get photoset as flickr.jar use the
javax.imageio library which is not available in Android and i am
getting error.

i just found photosream project which interact with flickr to view
photos and very interested to include it in my application.
it does the job very well but i need to modify some of its funtions as
follows:

i need to display photoset in a list view after login and there would
be another funtion to add photo in the selected photoset.

i believe that i need to set a wirte permission in order to upload an
image but i can't find any permission set in the photostream project.

could anybody advise how can i add these funtion?

[android-developers] Multiplayer - Multicast Group

[Business Talk]

In the multi-player setup, every device joins the same multicast group
and every device is a broadcaster as well as a receiver of the
multicast messages. So, when a device sends a message to the multicast
group (for example, a description of the aviator's move) for others to
update their game status, this message comes back to the original
device. Is there any way to prevent the pockets to come back to the
original device? I am trying to filter the incoming pockets and ignore
those that originated on my device but it is impossible to test it on
the emulator (since it doesn’t emulate wifi) and also it's wasteful
having to deal with the bogus packets.

[android-developers] Confusion in me app architecture regarding database

[Alok Kulkarni]

Hi guys,

I have a database with 5 tables in it.There is a core layer which
communicates with the database and fetches the results and stores them in
memory temporarily.
Now my UI layer wishes to display the data retrieved by core layer in the
UI.
What i want to have ideally is to create an object of the core class and
call the DB operations whenever i want.The class which creates this core
object does not extend activity , but from examples i see , i need to pass
the activity as a context parameter to SQLiteOpenHelper.What context shd i
pass in that case ? There is also some concept of AsyncTask in Android but i
havent yet chkd how to use it.. Please help me on this one.. Thanks..Alok.

[android-developers] Re: Multicast

[Business Talk]

After some research I realized that the multicast address must belong
to a predefined range of the multicast addresses; 224.0.0.0 through
239.255.255.255. What I am confused about is that a number of
multicast implementation examples used the host address as the
multicast group address, which does not belong to the range thus is
not a multicast. What gives?

I don't think requestLocationUpdates() will work reliably from an
IntentService. The, um, intent of an IntentService is for it to shut
down (via stopSelf()) after it has exhausted its queue of work.

Also, I don't see where an IntentService will be called with onStop().
You might want to slap an @Override on there to confirm. If it does not
exist, as I suspect, then you will never release your location listener,
and that is seriously bad with an IntentService.

My guess is that you're trying to create a scheduled task, triggered by
an alarm, that will look up the current location and do something with
it. While the IntentService (Wakeful or otherwise) is normally a fine
answer, I suspect that it will give you loads of problems in this case,
since it automatically stops when the Intent is delivered and consumed.
You will probably need to fall back to a regular service, calling
stopSelf() after you have gotten your location fix, and using a WakeLock
to keep yourself awake in the interim. Even then, things could get a bit
icky (e.g., what if the user is underground and you never get a fix?).

[android-developers] help me decide

[rompelstilchen666]

Hi,

I wrote a GWT app that used gears as a locald datastore (was running
on a pda, retreiving all db from server)
how can I do this with an android phone ?
I have read it was possible to write my own content provider
http://www.techjini.com/blog/2009/01/10/android-tip-1-contentprovider-accessing-local-file-system-from-webview-showing-image-in-webview-using-content/

- is this an official way ? I read that android did not like webview
to access local data (in my case it is definetly needed)
- is there a way to access regular db fields, id, int, varchar,
blobs 
- do i have to write a plugin for web view ?
- android does not and will never adress that kind of need and I
should just give it up, find another solution ?

thx a lot for your time
and precious help

have a gr8 day

[android-developers] Re: How to debug BadTokenException?

[Chander Pechetty]

As an example take the case of Market App. It doesn't give any toast
or progress when you leave the app. Once the user leaves the app for
whatever reason, only a notification is given if the download fails/
succeeds.
Any progress dialogs you have when you leave the app should be
dismissed/cleaned up in the onPause. Depending on what kind of app
yours is, you can either show a notification (may be from the service
once the Task is completed, after it attempts several retries in case
of error) using the NotificationManager, or I would just cancel the
Task if I was using a AsyncTask.

I wouldn't want a toast or progress result/or a force close  show up
when I receive a call, or trying to use some other app; those make
sense only when I am looking at your app.

[android-developers] Re: Droid AVD (2.0, WVGA854) resolution hell

[greg1x]

Thank you!

I'm trying to specify the screen size support, but I'm getting these
errors in the manifest:

ERROR No resource identifier found for attribute 'anyDensity' in
package 'android'

Here is my manifest:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  package="com..bbb"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0.0">

  






If i remove versionCode and versionName (or mofify to anything
higher), nothing changes.

What should I change? I haven't read anywhere a specific resource
qualifier for anyDensity="true".

Thank you for your time.
