Hi All,

i was wondering if i could put extra attributes in a strings.xml resource. I
need more metadata for the value in this resource and it seems to me that if
i could read those extra attributes from the static R reference, it saves me
resources over implementing an xml reader. So what i actually try to do is
access the following xml:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
  string name=index url=http://www.this.com/;Frontpage/string
string name=sport url=http://www.this2.com/;Sport/string
/resources

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Patrick

[android-developers] A question regarding AsyncTasks

2009-12-21 Thread Android Development

Hello,

In the documentation, I read that it is not possible for executing 2 Async
Tasks. If execute is called again, it should throw an exception.

The following is given under the heading of Threading Rules, and i quote:

The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a second
execution is attempted.)

I wish to understand the meaning of this statement.

Does this mean, that if i try and execute the same task twice (concurrently)
when the first execution of the task was still going on...an exception will
be thrown ? Will i need to wait for the completion of the first task, before
i spawn a second task ?

A possible use case:

The user wishes to download a set of files. He clicks on the download button
by providing the URL. When the first download is still going on, he wishes
to download another file and provides another URL. Both these user actions
are serviced by a DownloadTask, that extends the AysncTask.

If i wish to change this default behavior, is there a configuration option
?

 In my manifest, I defined uses-configuration

 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?

Could you post your entire manifest, or at least the portion from the
top until where your uses-configuration element resides?

You might also consider adding in some top-level exception handlers tied
to an exception logging service -- I mention a few here:

That way, you'd have your stack trace to examine.

Actually, the save preferences code was factored into its own method
and there was a commit.  The two lifecycle methods were simply calling
it.  This is why it appeared to me to be a threading issue in the
lifecycle callbacks

 Sounds like perhaps you weren't calling commit(), or were trying to hang
 onto the Editor, or had two disparate SharedPreferences objects you were
 trying to use, or something.

Read the documentation for the application in question, and use whatever
public Intents they offer to start other activities.

If there is no such documentation, do not write your app and move onto
another project.

If the author of the application wanted you to start up other activities
besides the main one, they would have provided instructions for it.

If you specifically are trying to reach the built-in email application,
that is not part of the SDK, and therefore should not be used in this
fashion:

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

Re: [android-developers] Re: Droid - won't rotate image captured from camera? (Camera.Parameters)

2009-12-21 Thread 李務誠

Droid respects setRotation. The problem is Droid does not rotate the entire
picture. Droid only sets orientation in the EXIF header. Applications need
to check the orientation in the EXIF header and then rotate it accordingly
before display.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.Parameters.html
public void setRotation (int rotation)
Sets the orientation of the device in degrees. For example, suppose the
natural position of the device is landscape. If the user takes a picture in
landscape mode in 2048x1536 resolution, the rotation should be set to 0. If
the user rotates the phone 90 degrees clockwise, the rotation should be set
to 90. Applications can useOrientationEventListener to set this parameter.
The camera driver may set orientation in the EXIF header without rotating
the picture. Or the driver may rotate the picture and the EXIF thumbnail. If
the Jpeg picture is rotated, the orientation in the EXIF header will be
missing or 1 (row #0 is top and column #0 is left side).

The problem is not related to set(rotation, 90) or setRotation(90). They
are the same except setRotation only exists from 2.0.

 is this probably the best way to go? I don't know if I could go the

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

2009-12-21 Thread TreKing

I noticed a drop as well (at least 10%) but ... the ACTIVE / TOTAL ratio is
now actually accurate as far as I can tell.

Maybe they just adjusted their stats to only count ACTIVE once the user has
exceeded their refund window and can no longer get a refund?

If you have a large volume of sales on a daily basis this would explain your
totals continuing to increase (and therefore your percentage decreases) but
the active count stays put until the sales are finalized.

Of course, this is just guessing. It would definitely be nice to have an
official word from the Goog.

 If you look at the log, you can see that player started playing at

 Then at 17:59:53 the video and sound got stuck, while buffering kept
 going on in the background

 After 25 seconds (18:00:19) it resumed playing and buffer was already
 at 36 seconds, and all this time the api report that it is playing,
 meaning in the code, i don't know that video is stuck...

 Any thoughts or suggestions? This started to happen in donut (1.6)
 with the introduction ofopencore2. I have never seen this problem in
 with previous version of opencore (android versions = 1.5)

 Legend: the integers next to current and buffer are in seconds of
 video. while playerDriver buffering are in percentages.

[android-developers] Re: Setting for Use incoming call volume for notifications

2009-12-21 Thread Beth

I need to bump this thread I face the same problem.  My guess is that
there is nothing public and anything we might find through source and
code into a program could change without notice.  Truth is that the
shift from SDK 1.1 to SDK 1.5 introduced this tie in and broke my UI!

My solution was to pop an alert dialog that will open the settings
application.  To further complicate the matter, I found that the
public action - the intent that is supposed to open the sound
preferences page, was broken (on the Hero?).  Thus, I cannot navigate
to the specific page that holds this setting.

I guess maybe an issue needs to be filed.  So far I have not taken
that step.  If anybody has a better solution, please speak up!

Thanks and regards,
Beth

 This is a checkbox found in the Ringer Volume settings that allows you

 would like to programatically toggle the value, but I can't figure out
 where it's stored.  I looked at Context.AudioManager, I see methods
 for controlling the notification volume, but I can't find a setting
 for separating notification volume from incoming call volume.

[android-developers] Re: Droid - won't rotate image captured from camera? (Camera.Parameters)

Hi Wu-Cheng,

I'm not following - I'm using the native camera intent with the Droid.
So if I take a picture while holding the camera in a portrait
orientation, then it should write a rotation of 90 degrees into the
exif header of the output jpeg (while not really rotating the image
data)? If that's the case, I'm not sure how to proceed. Looks like I
would have to do the following:

  1) Check the exif header to see if this rotation parameter exists
  2) If it does exist, rotate the image myself before display

#1 could probably be done using the ExifInterface class, but that's
only been added to the level 5 sdk, while I'm targeting sdk 3 and
above.
#2 could also be done after a lot of downsampling. I'm not sure if
other applications understand exif headers though. So I'd want to
rewrite the image data with an actual rotation. Doing this at full
resolution would be difficult on the device.

Thanks for your help.

[android-developers] Re: Focus problem with dpad

2009-12-21 Thread tikky

I was able to get this working by calling:
list.setItemsCanFocus(true);

Now the button gets focus when navigating with D_PAD.
But now I face another issue.

The textview does not get highlighted when selected. Is there anyway I
can get the textview to be highlighted when focussing on it?

 Hi,
 I have a a simple activity with  a list view. Each element of the list

 onClickListener() implemented for the button.
 When I touch the button, onClickListener gets called, which is what I
 want. But when I use the D-PAD, and press down key, the entire list
 item gets focus, so the center-select key takes no effect. I need the
 focus to go only to the button instead of the entire list element, so
 that when center key is pressed, it will do the same action as in the
 touch mode.

 How can I achieve this?
 I have tried calling requestFocus() on the button, but still it does
 not work.

[android-developers] Using new sdk methods on devices running older sdks?

Hi,

I'm using the level 5 sdk to compile my app, but set my target to sdk
level 3 in my manifest. All is fine.

I may need to use some level 5 classes (ExifInterface) though. What's
the right way to go about using them while not fouling things up for
devices running older sdk versions? Do we simply restrict use of the
newer API methods to completely separate class files? Something like
this:

  // Test.java
  class Test
  {
  public boolean sdkDependentItem() {
  if (Build.VERSION.SDK.equals(5)) {
  return (new sdk5()).getItem();
  }
  else {
  return (new sdk3and4()).getItem();
  }
  }
   }

  // sdk5.java
  class sdk5 {
  public boolean getItem() {
  // can use sdk level 5 apis in here ok.
  }
  }

  // sdk3and4.java
  class sdk3and4 {
  public boolean getItem() {
  // can use sdk level 3 and 4 apis in here ok.
  }
  }

so as long as the api methods are completely separated into files that
the older devices won't invoke, we should be ok?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: AudioTrack - Clicking Sound

2009-12-21 Thread Business Talk

Mark,

Yours is a golden tip. In a long run using files is out of the
question, considering the size of the application it would generate.
Your approach is definitely the way to go. I just have no experience
in the sound synthesis, Specifically synthesizing instrument sounds.
Do you have any documentation (links) to point me to. I will have to
look into a simple synthesizer running on android. Any code examples
you could share?

I appreciate your advice,

You absolutely can post them.  It is unlikely to me they would cause a sound

I wouldn't do:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK.equals(5)) {

Instead, parse it to an integer and do a =5 comparison. After all, most
DROIDs are now on API 6 (i.e., Android 2.0.1). And, once you drop older
SDK support, you can use SDK_INT and skip the parse step.

If you are going to make the request a lot, you might consider having
your two implementations extend a common abstract class or implement a
common interface. Then, you can make the determination of which one to
use once and hold onto that object, calling it by the common interface
as needed.

Otherwise, the notion of if I don't load the class, there will be no
harm in it referencing newer API capabilities is sound.

[android-developers] Help Understanding Custom Components and Multiple Resolutions - Analogy to Lego!

2009-12-21 Thread superjet

I had posted a similar thread a while back and received no feedback,
so let me try to be more clear...

I am able to use Androids components to build the most basic layouts,
which include images, buttons, text areas, etc. These are like Android
Lego! I can build the castle.

BUT I want to design my own component, my own Lego, that draws on the
screen and uses the available area that the Android components have
not used. ie, I want to have a top layer of buttons, and the rest of
the screen, whatever it is, I want to use to draw 2d graphics. So, I
want to make my own Lego, and use it with the other Android Lego.
However, I'm also trying to be a good developer and making this for
whatever resolution is thrown my way.

What is the best way to do this considering the deluge of different
resolutions Android developers must cope with? Is there a way to do a
table view and return the remaining screen size? Or, am I stuck making
an entire new box of Lego here?

Thanks for any help!

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

Most recent update: +113 downloads, -131 active installs. Numbers just

consistently over a 4 day period when a months worth of data says that both
the downloads increase as well as the active installs. So far I've lost 16%
points and I've gone down over 20 positions in the popularity list. Is my
application just all of the sudden performing very poorly even though I
consistently get 4 and 5 star reviews? Or is there something going on with
the stats?

Could anyone with any knowledge about this please respond?

Maybe they just adjusted their stats to only count ACTIVE once the user has
exceeded their refund window and can no longer get a refund?

If you have a large volume of sales on a daily basis this would explain
your totals continuing to increase (and therefore your percentage decreases)
but the active count stays put until the sales are finalized.

Of course, this is just guessing. It would definitely be nice to have an
official word from the Goog.

[android-developers] Re: Droid - won't rotate image captured from camera? (Camera.Parameters)

2009-12-21 Thread Streets Of Boston

Check by using the content-provider. Do a query on the image-id (can
be obtained from the image-Uri) and request its value of the column
'MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION'.

About #2: Yep, doing that in the device using full-resolution will be
hard to do. Not enough memory available for that. You could do it by
using a file (RandomAccessFile) as a 'temporary', writing column by
column to this file and reading it back in row by row. This will be
very slow.

 Hi Wu-Cheng,

 I'm not following - I'm using the native camera intent with the Droid.
 So if I take a picture while holding the camera in a portrait

 data)? If that's the case, I'm not sure how to proceed. Looks like I
 would have to do the following:

   1) Check the exif header to see if this rotation parameter exists
   2) If it does exist, rotate the image myself before display

 #1 could probably be done using the ExifInterface class, but that's
 only been added to the level 5 sdk, while I'm targeting sdk 3 and
 above.
 #2 could also be done after a lot of downsampling. I'm not sure if
 other applications understand exif headers though. So I'd want to
 rewrite the image data with an actual rotation. Doing this at full

  The camera driver may set orientation in the EXIF header without rotating
  the picture. Or the driver may rotate the picture and the EXIF thumbnail. If
  the Jpeg picture is rotated, the orientation in the EXIF header will be
  missing or 1 (row #0 is top and column #0 is left side).

  The problem is not related to set(rotation, 90) or setRotation(90). They

To be honest, I find this one less clear than the original. I think you
are looking at the problem backwards.

If you create a custom View class (my own Lego), your size will
generally be handed to you, courtesy of the containers (layouts) and
rules (android:layout_width, android:layout_height). You can indicate
some size preferences, if needed.

Hence, the best way to do this considering the deluge of different
resolutions Android developers must cope with? is no different for your
own custom View than it is for anything else -- specify the layout rules
with density-independent dimensions, use RelativeLayout, etc.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Working with the new ContactContracts API

2009-12-21 Thread Dmitri Plotnikov

That's right.  DATA1 is used for the most important data element by
convention.

Email has an unfortunate alias DATA for DATA1.  In 2.1 we will also have
Email.ADDRESS mapping to DATA1.

The DATA1 column is indexed, so doing searches on that column in combination
with a MIMETYPE constraint will be the most efficient.

Cheers,

No, you can't.

At least, the market didn't let me do this the last time I tried
(about 6 weeks ago). Sales on a particular app were near zero, so I
decided to put ads in it and distribute it for free. Once I did so,
the option to toggle it back to paid was permanently disabled.

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

2009-12-21 Thread jean-guys

Just to follow up, the desired effect is achieved by hard-coding the
dimensions of the ImageView to the dimensions of the actual image.

On Dec 20, 10:54 am, jean-guys jean...@gmail.com wrote:
 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!

I suppose the feed you're reading is correctly formed XML.How are you

escapes should already be decoded once you access the text or attribute as a

Re: [android-developers] Re: Issues debugging Droid with Eclipse

2009-12-21 Thread Frank Weiss

The issue was mostly my bad programming with the UI thread and other things.
I was collecting items with SAXParser using AsyncTask and adding items to a
subclass of ItemizedOverlay. I was calling the populate method for each
added item instead of only once when all items are available (read the fine
print for ItemizedOverlay.size()). Another issue was setting a button text
in the AsyncTask.doInBackground method.

I think in the end, being able to breakpoint the Android source would not
have helped me with multi-threaded debugging.

[android-developers] Re: Droid - How to create a top bar notification during calls.

2009-12-21 Thread Matt

My problem is specific to the Droid.

I can successfully post notifications during calls in the emulator
using 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0.  I can also post notifications on the G1.

However, when I use the Droid, notifications are squelched (as far as
I can tell) during active phone calls.  All other environments
correctly display the notification during calls.

I am not trying to play a sound, I am simply trying to display an icon
in the top notification bar.

Thanks for your help,

[android-developers] Is it ever OK to use AbsoluteLayout?

2009-12-21 Thread k_day


I understand the problems with assigning a fixed position to UI
components, but I would like to use AbsoluteLayout in a way such that
the position of the components are chosen dynamically, calculated
based on the screen size.

Here is why I am thinking this may be easiest:

I want to display a nXm grid of imageViews on the screen (n,m chosen
by the user) with 0 padding betweeen the imageViews.  With
absoluteLayout, I could easily choose the size of the imageViews and
in a way that maximizes the amount of the screen that is used.

The reason that using relativeLayout or LineraLayouts may not work for
this is because when a user touches an image in this grid, I would
like it to pulse (quickly scale larger than back to its normal
size).  If I scale an imageView using realtive or linear layout, it
would resize the adjacent imageViews (since the padding is 0), which I
don't want.  I would prefer permitting temporary overlapping of the
imageViews.

This is currently the approach I have taken, except instead of
changing the position of imageViews, I am just drawing bitmaps to the
canvas at the locations I calculated.  I can't use the animation
framework, however, on bitmaps that I draw to a canvas.

Is this an acceptable use for AbsoluteLayout, or is there a better way
to achieve what I want to do here?

[android-developers] NumberPicker based widgets function different in emulator than phone

2009-12-21 Thread jtoolsdev

TimePicker and DatePicker use NumberPicker which is an internal
widget.  On the emulator the EditText on the widget is focusable and
you can type into it.  On my phone, and HTC Eris, you cannot.  Does
this have something to do with the attributes (which I don't
entirely understand) and HTC maybe setting them differently?  These
are my own test routines and I also downloaded the NumberPicker and
DatePicker source to build my own versions as well as some additional
widgets so I can use them in my program.  Those do allow the EditText
to be focusable.  For consistency it so far looks like I'll have to
rebuild the TimePicker too.  I don't set any attrs in my versions.

Maybe they just adjusted their stats to only count ACTIVE once the user has

If you have a large volume of sales on a daily basis this would explain
your totals continuing to increase (and therefore your percentage decreases)
but the active count stays put until the sales are finalized.

Of course, this is just guessing. It would definitely be nice to have an
official word from the Goog.

This is interesting.

Every time that block of log was sent to logCat, it was due to the
system trying to send the WakefulIntentService a location.
HOWEVER, only a WakefulIntentService was able to activate the gps
activity. (Based on the gps icon in the notification bar)

Once I made the program a regular service, GPS was never activated,

Re: [android-developers] Re: button Click event inside custom listview.... Help!

Abhishek,

it's kinda hard to resolve this without any code, but here's how i solved
it:

in the main activity, i defined the following:

setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView? arg0, View arg1, int
arg2,
long arg3) {
Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName, arrayList.get((int) arg3).toString);
}});

so within the onItemClickListener, i make a reference to my ArrayList and
show them in the log.

Hopes it helps,

decreases)
but the active count stays put until the sales are finalized.

Of course, this is just guessing. It would definitely be nice to have an
official word from the Goog.

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

2009-12-21 Thread pawpaw17

I put out a bug update Saturday night and, like you guys, the
floodgates opened on uninstalls. What makes no sense is I had a
large number of uninstalls Monday morning which is always light for
activity.

I want someone from Google to respond to this. I think there is
something wrong with the market.

My app hasn't slipped in the rankings.

Also, my app is free, some of the apps mentioned above are paid.

If anyone finds something out, please post!!

Abhishek,

it's kinda hard to resolve this without any code, but here's how i solved
it:

in the main activity, i defined the following:

setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView? arg0, View arg1, int
arg2,
long arg3) {
Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName, arrayList.get((int) arg3).toString);
}});

so within the onItemClickListener, i make a reference to my ArrayList and
show them in the log.

Hopes it helps,

[android-developers] Re: button Click event inside custom listview.... Help!

2009-12-21 Thread Abhi

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for getting back.

I don't think I understand your solution completely. Maybe I am too
exhausted to think straight.

Here is what I am trying to do, I have a custom listview with an icon,
textview and button on each row. There are 6 items in the listview and
each row button would bring up a different activity. I want to define
button onClick event inside my getView method to listen to the button
clicks on each row and take necessary action. As you can see, I am
setting the row icons under getView based on position. I want to use
the position information to now listen to respective button clicks.
Clueless!

Would you be able to help?


class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter
{
CustomAdapter()
{
super(kis.this, R.layout.row_kis, items);
}


public View getView(int position, View
convertView, ViewGroup
parent)
{
LayoutInflater inflater=getLayoutInflater();
View row=inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_kis,
parent, false);
TextView label=(TextView)row.findViewById
(R.id.label);
label.setText(items[position]);
ImageView icon=(ImageView)row.findViewById
(R.id.icon);
Button row_button = (Button) findViewById
(R.id.btlst1);


if (items[position].compareTo(Abhi) == 0) {


  icon.setImageResource
(R.drawable.alan);   //set icon for row with name Abhi


}


.. and so on for other rows


   }
}


Thanks,

Abhishek

HOW DO I RUN SAMPLE CODE I GOT FROM ANDROID PAGE IN ECLIPSE WITH

Thanks for helping this n00b out. I got that USB driver thing and
other stuff you explained kind of...

On Dec 19, 8:10 pm, Frank Weiss fewe...@gmail.com wrote:
 Info about the USB driver is on the developer.android.com web site 
 here:http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

 It takes just a little effort to learn the Eclipse IDE, but it's well worth
 it, IMO. To open the Debug perspective, choose Window + Other + Debug. Then
 choose Run + Debug Configurations. Select Android Application and click
 the New launch configuration button. Further info on Eclipse debug
 perspective is OT for this mail list, get help from Eclipse support. Once
 you have it going, you can launch your Android app in an AVD or on a device,
 see what exceptions are thrown, set breakpoints, inspect your code
 variables, view the logcat output, etc. This can also be done from the
 command line Andorid SDK tools such as adb, etc., but many people find the
 Eclipse UI more productive and easier to use.

Re: [android-developers] Re: button Click event inside custom listview.... Help!

Hi Abhishek,

what i did in my solution was not setting the onClick listener in the
getView method, but rather attach an onItemClickListener to the listview:

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView? arg0, View arg1, int
arg2,
long arg3) {
Intent i = new Intent(act, ArticleDetail.class);
Log.d(Clicked, args= + arg0 + ,  + arg1 + ,  +
arg2 + , +arg3);
i.putExtra(articleId, messages.get((int)
arg3).getGuid());
act.startActivity(i);
}
});

where lv is a ListView object. The arg3 long is getting the position of the
view, which in my case corresponds to the position in my arraylist. So a
click on my row starts creates a new Intent and starts the activity.

This solution however is just for a ListView object as you attach an onclick
listener to the complete item of the listview. Is your objective similar of
do you need the actual buttonclick?

Patrick

[android-developers] Audio Video recording on Android.

2009-12-21 Thread Anu

Hi,
   I am trying to develop an app which streams live audio/video. I
have the mediarecorder to record both audio, video frames , and it
does so. But the thing is it records a chunk of audio and then records
a chunk of video frames and then records a chunk of audio frames to
the file. How do I determine where my audio frames start and where the
video frames start?. Also is there any way to figure out the Video
frame length ?. Iam really stuck at this point and any help will be
greatly appreciated. This is how I initialize the mediarecorder in my
app,

mMediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mMediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
mMediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mMediaRecorder.setOutputFormat
(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mMediaRecorder.setMaxDuration(MAX_RECORDING_DURATION_MS);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(8);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder
(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);

mMediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);

Anu.

[android-developers] subclassed Drawable disables AlphaAnimation?

2009-12-21 Thread kostmo

I have been applying a simultaneous rotate and alpha animation to an
ImageView using AnimationSet.  It was working fine when I set a Bitmap
as the image with Image.setImageBitmap(my_bitmap).

I then extended the Drawable class with my own drawing routine.  In my
custom drawable I do some porter-duff compositing on the bitmap i was
using earlier.  I set the image with Image.setImageDrawable( new
MyCustomDrawable( my_bitmap ) ) Now my animation rotates but no longer
performs the alpha transition!  What's wrong?

One of the things I have tried is returning different values from
getOpacity() in my Drawable. None of PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT,
PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, PixelFormat.OPAQUE, or PixelFormat.UNKNOWN
work.

[android-developers] Define what activity will start the task on Recent Apps menu

2009-12-21 Thread André Oriani

The Recent menu apps( the one after a long home key preess) can do two
things:

1- If the task for the app is still running it will the resume the
activity on the top of the stack of the task
2 - Otherwise it launches the activity that has started the task, no
matter if it is not the the activity with category LAUNCHER .

Is there any clever way to force the recent apps menu  to always start
the category with category LAUNCHER ?  The excludeFromRecentApps tag
has the undesirable effect of remove application from the recent apps
menu. I don't wanna to be forced to check the LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY
tags and launch the correct activity, as it sound like a workaround
for me .

Any ideas ?

[android-developers] SDK and Linux 64 bits

Hi,

I wonder if someday the SDK will run fine on Linux 64 bits.  I
understand it's not a priority for Google team, but 64bits desktop OS
are becoming common...

My case : Mandriva 2010 64 bits, Eclipse 64 bits, SDK 1.6 : OK to
create code  launch emulator.


But :
- adb never find my phone linked to USB cable (it was OK before on
Mandriva 32 bits)
- TTS also doesn't work well on the emulator  (it was OK in Mandriva
32 bits).

Do you think the problem is with Mandriva ?  or in Android SDK ?

[android-developers] Re: The GPS Shutdown Thing

I was able to confirm this on an HTC Hero. If the refresh rate is a
value over ~35 seconds, the GPS icon will sometimes get stuck on the
notification bar. Setting a refresh rate of 1 second takes the
notification off the bar without fail. Until the next HTC Hero update,
anyway!

 Alex, even if you use register / remove in onResume() / onPause(),

       super.onPause();
       locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
   }

   @Override

       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.

This same code works fine on a G1 (1.5/1.6), Magic, Droid, Cliq,

I think it was the firmware update Sprint/HTC applied recently.  While
it fixed many of the gigantic bugs with theHero, 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;

                setContentView(R.layout.main);

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME, MIN_DISTANCE, this);
        }

        {
        }

        @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...

[android-developers] Re: Is it ever OK to use AbsoluteLayout?

2009-12-21 Thread Paul Turchenko

I would suggest creating your own layout for this purpose.

On Dec 21, 10:01 pm, k_day kevin.r@gmail.com wrote:
 I understand the problems with assigning a fixed position to UI
 components, but I would like to use AbsoluteLayout in a way such that
 the position of the components are chosen dynamically, calculated
 based on the screen size.

 Here is why I am thinking this may be easiest:

 I want to display a nXm grid of imageViews on the screen (n,m chosen
 by the user) with 0 padding betweeen the imageViews.  With
 absoluteLayout, I could easily choose the size of the imageViews and
 in a way that maximizes the amount of the screen that is used.

 The reason that using relativeLayout or LineraLayouts may not work for
 this is because when a user touches an image in this grid, I would
 like it to pulse (quickly scale larger than back to its normal
 size).  If I scale an imageView using realtive or linear layout, it
 would resize the adjacent imageViews (since the padding is 0), which I
 don't want.  I would prefer permitting temporary overlapping of the
 imageViews.

 This is currently the approach I have taken, except instead of
 changing the position of imageViews, I am just drawing bitmaps to the
 canvas at the locations I calculated.  I can't use the animation
 framework, however, on bitmaps that I draw to a canvas.

 Is this an acceptable use for AbsoluteLayout, or is there a better way
 to achieve what I want to do here?

[android-developers] Re: Droid - won't rotate image captured from camera? (Camera.Parameters)

Alright thanks all, got this working. On 2.0+ devices, I use the
ExifInterface class to see if the image needs to be rotated. If so, I
can load the image at a downsampled size and do the rotation myself.
Like Streets Of Boston pointed out, I don't know of a good way to do
the rotation of the full high-res image.

Thanks

 About #2: Yep, doing that in the device using full-resolution will be
 hard to do. Not enough memory available for that. You could do it by
 using a file (RandomAccessFile) as a 'temporary', writing column by
 column to this file and reading it back in row by row. This will be
 very slow.

   The camera driver may set orientation in the EXIF header without rotating

   If
   the Jpeg picture is rotated, the orientation in the EXIF header will be

that you are wanting to use at the time you use it:

Thanks Dianne, that's a useful post. On the topic of backwards

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=5/

this produces a warning in eclipse:

[android-developers] How to use android:required

Hi,

In my manifest file, I have the following:

uses-permission android:name=android.permission.CAMERA /
uses-feature android:name=android.hardware.camera/

my app can use the camera if one exists, but is not necessary for the
app to function. My app also uses the auto-focus callback when taking
a picture, but is not required, thus it is not listed as another
hardware listing above.

If I read the docs correctly, after 1.6, we need to specify which
hardware features are necessary for our app to run, otherwise if we
leave that section blank, it's assumed that all features are required.
So I thought to only add the most basic on, hardware.camera.

Does this mean that when placed on the market, my app will not show up
for devices without a camera, as my manifest stands now?

In this post:

   
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/cab6d23f354089e2/448dd7f7e4497e8?q=#0448dd7f7e4497e8

it's suggested that we can use android:required, but I don't see a
doc reference for it yet. Is this the proper way to use it?:

  uses-feature android:name=android.hardware.camera
android:required=false/

that seems to only be available in 2.0+. By using that tag, will it
cause problems for older devices on market? Will a device running 1.5
get confused as to what android:required is and implode?

Thanks

Re: [android-developers] How to use android:required

android:required appeared in 1.6; unfortunately it isn't in the docs.

But correct, if you don't specify this, it will be assumed you require the
camera.  If you don't want that, you need to use android:required=false.
 Older versions of the platform will ignore this.  (Actually the platform
pretty much ignores it anyway, this is mostly for Market.)

 android:required=false/

 that seems to only be available in 2.0+. By using that tag, will it
 cause problems for older devices on market? Will a device running 1.5
 get confused as to what android:required is and implode?

 Thanks

[android-developers] Fancy ListView help

2009-12-21 Thread Abhi

Hi,

I am using excerpts from this website -
http://www.androidguys.com/2008/07/14/fancy-listviews-part-one/
(under Dynamic) to build my own ListView with 6 list rows. I am doing
the exact same thing, but with a button added to each row. I want to
be able to listen to each button click and take action according to
the position of the button pressed.

I don't know how to use the onClick and Listener in the above case.
Any help would be appreciated. I have posted this question a number of
times but haven't been able to receive a satisfactory reply.

I see that the original post is from Mark Murphy who is an active
member of this group. If I hear from him, nothing like it!

Thanks,

Abhishek
