Timer timer = new Timer( true);

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

@Override
public void run() {
Toast t = new Toast(context);

[android-developers] Re: Problems with the JavaBinder (!!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION!!!)

[Moritzz]

Looks like I finally solved it. It was linked to some variables I kept
for the whole runtime of the service (context and stuff like that).
Now that I'm not using them as class variables but local ones in the
functions it works.

Cheers

Interesting.

I downloaded rev 3 of the driver pack, but could not find the proper driver.

I eventually downloaded it from a forum, here:

[Nymann]

Hi

final Context context = getApplicationContext();
final Handler handler = new Handler(new Callback() {

public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
final Toast t = new Toast(context);
Toast makeText = t.makeText(context, "Test Toast",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
makeText.show();

return true;
}
});
Timer timer = new Timer( true);

timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

@Override
public void run() {
Log.d("Timertask", "Tick");
handler.sendMessage(new Message());
}
}, new Date(),2000);


This works .. haven't tried it in a service though.. but work in an
activity (so i think it works also)

[android-developers] Need Help : canvas.drawtext() for a lengthy string

[Latha Shivanna]

Hi All

I am stuck in a very simple problem.

I have one lengthy string & I need to draw that on the device display.

My code is as follows:

void ShowText(String text) {
                canv = thread.mSurfaceHolder.lockCanvas();

                       if (text!= null) {

                               canv.drawColor(Color.WHITE); //background color
                               mPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK); //font color
                               mPaint.setTextSize(15);         //font size
                               canv.drawText(text, 10, 200, mPaint);
                        //startign at some
(10,200) coordinates , dratext
                       }

            unlockCanvasAndPost(canv);
       }

But the problem here is, the string is going out of the screen. I want
it to break down into multiple lines if it is too big for the screen
width.

Can anybody show me some example to do this? Is there any other better
way than using canvas class? please do suggest.

Thanks
Latha

If you want to notify the user of something from the service you'll
want to use the NotificationManger to create and show a Notification

[android-developers] Re: Android 2.1 SDK

[Rob Franz]

Soo... no Android 2.1 SDK yet.  That's cool.  Let's hope everyone's
app works with 2.1.  Best of luck everybody!

I'll remain a Google fanboy but come on guys, this isn't really that
well planned...

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using an image in a listview

[Patrick Plaatje]

Hi,

i've tried the list13 implementation, but although scrolling seems
smoother then it ever was, i'm kinda displeased with the time it takes
to fill the rows with content. I think my main concern is related to
the reuse of the rows, rather then how to fill them. I am wondering if
there isn't a way to prefill the listview and don;t reuse anything?

Regards,

Patrick

Re: [android-developers] Re: Nine patch pre-scaling on Hdpi

[Dianne Hackborn]

You can build with a newer SDK and still be compatible with older devices;
you just need to be careful about the APIs you use.  For example with
resources, suffix your new resources type dirs (such as drawable-hdpi) with
"-v4" so that older devices don't see them.

FYI, heap limit has had the potential to go beyond 16MB since 2.0.
It's being set on a device basis, and the theory is that it's tied to
screen/camera size: devices with more pixels on the screen or camera
need more memory to work with larger images, so they get more heap. I
believe the Droid has 24MB, for example; don't know about the N1 (I
can't afford one on what I make from Android apps).

Still waiting for the 2.1 SDK as well, and hoping that my apps aren't
too badly broken...

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

[niko20]

I can't seem to get any consistent results trying to use the
multitouch on my droid.

Even if i put both fingers down I don't get two pointers, If I put one
down, then the other, it still says one pointer. Then if I lift the
first one, and put it down again, then it says two.

Multitouch API SUCKS

My test code:


View.OnTouchListener onTouchMain = new View.OnTouchListener() {

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Integer tempint = new Integer(event.getPointerCount());
int action = event.getAction();

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{

//statustext.setText("touched with " + 
tempint.toString() +
"pointers");
Log.i("POINTER", "There are " + 
tempint.toString() + " pointers");

}

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN)
{


Log.i("POINTER", "There are " + 
tempint.toString() + " pointers");
}

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
statustext.setText("ready");

}


return true;
}
};

[android-developers] Reg: Not able to get address from Longitude and Latitude

[sathya subbiah]

Hi,

I am trying to get address from Longitude and latitude using the following
code


  Geocoder geoCoder = new
Geocoder(mContext,Locale.getDefault());

List addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(
mCurrentLatitude,
mCurrentLongitude, 1);

But the address size is always 0. I am trying this in Android SDK 2.0 using
eclipse. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue?.


Thanks & Regards,
Sathya

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

[Dianne Hackborn]

Run Pointer Location and make sure it works, and you can see the code here:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/development.git;a=blob;f=apps/Development/src/com/android/development/PointerLocation.java;h=38b4af2dcd97625e6fef2c1bddcb9362a127352e;hb=HEAD

Note that ACTION_POINTER_DOWN encodes the number of the pointer that went
down, so you shouldn't be using it by itself.  And, you know, you could just
print out the action of each of the events to see what you are getting.

Multitouch API SUCKS

Good way to discourage people from helping you. :p

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch code examples?

[Dianne Hackborn]

If the move event had the pointer index encoded in it, then we would need to
deliver separate events for each pointer, which is a lot less efficient and
I think ultimately a lot harder to deal with (vs. having all of the data
available in one event).

Anyway, this is really not an issue.  Please read Andy McFadden's blog post
on using newer API while being compatible with older platforms.  You'll
probably want to follow the latter part, where you have a separate class in
your app that calls the new APIs and you make sure to not try to use on
older platforms.

yup..you can refer to the localhost by this ip-->10.0.2.2

[android-developers] Re: Where to get a Samsung Moment for development

[Don]

Hello,
I'm now having the exact same problem, a customer is reporting an
issue with my application on their Samsung Moment, but I can't debug
the issue as I don't have the device!
I've tried the test services perfectomobile & deviceanywhere, but
neither has a Samsung Moment!

I can see this fragmentation becoming one of the major issues for
Android development.

[Pawel Kapala]

I've sucessfully written an application using Bouncy Castle (AES256 +

AFAIK the Bouncy Castle provider is the default Android provider.
So you can use it without importing any external libraries.

Try initializing Cipher object with as described here:

[android-developers] Fullscreen (no title & no status bar) - UI bug in Android?

very simple piece of code (see below).

This is how the UI looks like after running it:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2jfac6v.png

The problem: As soon as the button is selected, a header in the size
of the status bar will appear and all views will be scrolled down by
the appropriate height.

My code looks like this:

-snip-

package com.example.android.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

public class FullscreenTest extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// set background color to white to see what is going on

getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(android.R.color.white);

// hide title and status bar
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.getWindow().setFlags
(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN );


// create a simple layout with a button
LinearLayout contentView = new LinearLayout(this);

Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText("Look above!   WTF?");

contentView.addView(button);

setContentView(contentView);
}

}

-snap-

The problem does not occur if the status bar or the title bar is
shown. As far as I tested, all SDK versions 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0.1 are
affected.

Can anyone verify this problem? Is this fixed in feature versions of
the Android SDK (e.g. 2.1)?


Thanks in advance & regards

[android-developers] A problem of drawing on WVGA screen

[chaozh]

Hi all:
I wrote a reading software. I implemented the page turning effect when
user tap the screen to turn to next/pre page. The display is ok on G1
(320X200 size) but it can not works well on Droid(480*854 size), the
font looks a litter fuzzy, not clear as G1.
I explain my codes for page turning:
1) create a canvas A
2) create bitmap.
3) set bitmap on canvas A
4) draw the new page content on canvas A
5) the current showing page has been saved in bitmap before since we
do from step 1) to setp 4),
6) In order to implement the turning effect of scrolling from left to
right, I draw the old bitmap part and draw the new bitmap part until
the whole new bitmap has been drawn. all of bitmaps are drawing by
canvas.drawBitmap() in onDraw() function.
7) when step 6) is done, it means the new page has been shown on
screen, and the bitmap has been saved to use in next page turning.

The above is the whole actions for my page turning. On G1, no problem.
But on Droid phone, the font is not clear,
I tried if I directly draw text by canvas in OnDraw() not through
bitmap, It is ok, but it can not implement the page turning effect
that I need. I don't know why, could you please help me to take a look
and tell me where is wrong or miss some steps?
Thanks a lot!

for tennis statistics tracking (www.tennis-math.com). they have already
translated the strings.xml (though i can't be sure they havent put some porn
it it :)) and the want a right to publish my (free) app on their market. i'm
sure one can find the answer in the developer agreement with google but
since i am pretty stressed now, maybe some of you fellow devs know certain
answer with regards to this topic? would it be legal to allow these guys to
publish my apps taking in account that it is free?

[android-developers] Re: Reg: Not able to get address from Longitude and Latitude

[Nithin]

In my application, I am doing like this and its working fine for me,

// Geocoding
Geocoder geoCoder = new 
Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale

try {
List addresses = geoCoder

.getFromLocation(p.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6, p

.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6, 1);

String add = "";
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < 
addresses.get(0)

.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++)
add += 
addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(i) + "\n";
}
}

And the permissions I gave are,





check this,

but this is for SDK 1.1... Anyway, you can have a look at it.

Well I would really like to see this, given that prior to 2.0 there was no
multitouch information propagated through the framework at all, and
applications do not have permission to open the raw driver.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Nine patch pre-scaling on Hdpi

[Dianne Hackborn]

Just to be sure. :)   1.5 had some early implementation of the density
scaling, so I'm not sure what it will do with the new resources.  If it
works, cool.  You'll definitely need the version part for new things like
"long".

Re: [android-developers] Re: Nine patch pre-scaling on Hdpi

[Dianne Hackborn]

Btw, it may just be luck, that when your resources were build it did the
generic ones first, so those are the ones 1.5 sees.  I would add the -v4 on
the directories just to be sure there are no future problems.  (Really aapt
should be doing this automatically for you.)

I don't use a SurfaceView (like LunarLander) but a normal view because
in my tests I found it much more stable then the surfaceView. Keep in
mind that android was 1.5. With 1.6/2.* things maybe changed, I have
to test it. There are no threads in the game apart the one used for
loading all the images before the game starts.

Trust me, with the code structure explained before the frame rate
slows down, I tested it on the DROID device at last london android
lab.

[android-developers] Android 2.0: Why does my transparent background turn white while scrolling??

[Flying Coder]

Hi,
I'm using a ListView with a transparent background.  It works fine
in Android 1.5 & 1.6, but in Android 2.0 and later, the ListView
background turns white while scrolling.  I want it to stay
transparent, just like in 1.5 & 1.6.

Does anyone know what's going on, or better yet, how I can get
this working correctly?

Thanks a bunch!

Steve

[android-developers] Re: scaling game images according display sizes

[tobias429]

Hi Andrea,

I also wanted to avoid compatibility mode. More for the reason of
being able to actually use the higher resolution rather than out of
performance concerns.

For one of my games I applied a routine to scale the images myself
upon start-up of the application just like you describe (I used Bitmap
drawables). As the system then does not need to resize the drawables
any longer upon drawing them on the screen, this has speed up the
performance of the game quite drastically.

Best regards,

Tobias

[android-developers] market doesn't refresh downloads?

[Éva Lovrencsics]

Hello,

My downloads and installs stopped two days ago, and I don't see any
changes on the market (developer console). They never stay the same,
so I think, market doesn't refresh them.
Anybody recognized this?

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

[Mirmathrax]

I posted this in its own topic before I found this post and read it
thouroughly.
I am still having problems with Multi-touch not working as documented
on the droid.
Please read the post below for detail:

I wanted to experiment with multi-touch, so I decided to
add the controls for LunarLander to the touchscreen.

Instead of adding buttons, I defined regions on the screen that when
touched, would act like the buttons on the keyboard (for example, the
gas fires as long as you press the screen in the area defined for the
gas button, and stops firing when you release.)

To do this, I added the onTouchEvent override to the LunarView class
as follows:

   /**
 * Standard override to get Touch Screen Events.
 */
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
return thread.doTouchScreen(event);
}

Then, I added a function to the LunarThread called doTouchScreen.  I
also added variables to define the boundaries of the touch areas on
the screen for the "buttons" The boundaries are defined as follows and
placed in the variable declaration location of the LunarThread:

//* Y boundary of left and right turn button **/
private float TurnButton_Y;

//* X Boundary of the fire Button (left side of button)
private float fireButton_X;

//* X boundary of left turn button **/
private float leftTurnButton_X = 100;

//* X boundary of right turn button **/
private float rightTurnButton_X = 200;

The doTouchScreen code is the following:

 boolean doTouchScreen(MotionEvent event) {

boolean handled = true;

synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) {

  int numevents = event.getPointerCount();
  int action = event.getAction();
  int ptrId = event.getPointerId(0);

  if(numevents > 1)
 ptrId = (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_MASK)


MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_SHIFT;
 action = action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;

  int ptrIndex = event.findPointerIndex(ptrId);

  float X = event.getX(ptrIndex);
  float Y = event.getY(ptrIndex);

if(action == event.ACTION_DOWN || action ==
event.ACTION_MOVE)
{
if(Y > TurnButton_Y)
{
if(X < leftTurnButton_X)
{
mRotating = -1;
turnButtonID = ptrId;
}
else if (X <
rightTurnButton_X)
{
mRotating = 1;
turnButtonID = ptrId;
}
else if (X > fireButton_X)
{
setFiring(true);
gasButtonID = ptrId;
}

handled =  true;
}
handled = true;
}
else if(action == event.ACTION_UP || action ==
event.ACTION_CANCEL)
{

if(gasButtonID == ptrId)
{
setFiring(false);
gasButtonID = -1;
handled = true;
}
if(turnButtonID == ptrId)
{
mRotating = 0;
turnButtonID = -1;
handled = true;
}
handled = true;
}

}
return handled;
}

During testing I found consistent problems when performing the
following pattern:

1) Touch finger 1 down on gas button area
2) Touch finger 2 down on turn button area
3) Lift finger 1 off of gas button
4) Touch finger 1 back on to gas button

The problem is that after performing this pattern, the gas button
fails to work.  Lifting the gas button and then placing it down a
third time causes the button to work again.  This is consistent every
time I try this. Debugging yielded the following strange results:

1) Finger 1 goes down at location X, Y.
 X = X
 Y = Y
 action = ACTION_DOWN,
 ptrID = 0
 ptrIndex = 0
 numEvents = 1
2) Finger 2 goes down at location X2, Y2.
 X = X2
 Y = Y2
 action = ACTION_POINTER_DOWN
 ptrID = 1
 ptrIndex = 1
 numEvents = 2
3) Finger 1 goes up
X = X
Y = Y
action = ACTION_POINTER_UP
ptrID = 0
ptrIndex = 0
num

Re: [android-developers] market doesn't refresh downloads?

[Wayne Wenthin]

I actually came to look if anyone else has seen this so yes.  I am stuck on
yesterday for market stats.   Was hoping to break 5k on downloads but may
never know now.   Hopefully this means they are making the market stats
better???  One can always hope.

You are only listing one coordinate for this event, but in fact there are
two for both fingers.  It is really hard to understand what you are seeing
when you are not showing all of the data in the event.

Again, when the up occurs, the motion event contains the points for the
finger going up as well as any other fingers that are currently down.

I am not going to respond in detail to the remaining stuff, because I can't
really understand what you are seeing due to not showing all of the data.  I
would also again please ask that you look at Pointer Location -- you should
 see when using it that the correct data is actually generated, and you can
look at the code to see how the different event transitions are processed.

Re: [android-developers] Re: scaling game images according display sizes

[Dianne Hackborn]

If you are loading your images as drawables, the framework will pre-scale
the bitmap for you so it shouldn't need to be scaled at draw time.  If you
are  using the lower-level APIs to load bitmaps, you will need to use these
appropriately to have them scaled for you.  You can look at the various APIs
introduced in 1.6 for controlling the scaling.

Fwiw, there are no "stability" problems I know of with SurfaceView in 1.5.
 It is used quite a bit throughout the system.

Re: [android-developers] A problem of drawing on WVGA screen

[Dianne Hackborn]

You need to update to support different densities.  You are probably
creating a bitmap in compatibility mode that would thus be the size of an
HVGA screen, so when you draw it to your window it needs to be scaled up for
the higher density screen.  Once you use android:targetSdkVersion="4", the
compatibility code will be turned off, so you will be working in the true
pixel density of the screen.  Of course your app needs to be able to deal
with this.

[android-developers] Re: APK not visible in market for HTC Tattoo Android Phone ?

[Mark Wyszomierski]

Hi,

I'm trying to verify this - my app has the following in its manifest:

 

 
 

but it still does not appear for tattoo. Is there something else we
need to add? It does have a camera, right?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: market doesn't refresh downloads?

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

My guess is that a market upgrade is in progress. It would seem to be
timed with the N1 release, however, it may be that the market people
are slightly behind the curve and are still testing.

I could be wrong of course, but it seems like the entire market is
frozen, stats, movement of apps in the popularity index, etc. To me,
this could only be rationally explained as a database freeze to allow
for an upgrade.

Here's the post from the Android team:

[android-developers] Setting preferred home activity from application code

[kristianlm]

Hi folks!

I'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the
default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the
IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.

this is my code:

private void makePreferred() {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
IntentFilter f = new IntentFilter("android.intent.action.MAIN");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.example.android.home",
"com.example.android.home.Home");
pm.addPreferredActivity(f, IntentFilter.MATCH_CATEGORY_EMPTY, 
null,
cn);

I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the
manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have
been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default"
from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home,
the list still shows up and the logs say:

INFO/PackageManager(52): Result set changed, dropping preferred
activity for Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x1020 } type null

So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas
behind this?

Thanks folks!
Kris

[android-developers] Re: Performance issue: Dalvik VM is >20x slower than most modern Java VMs

[Biosopher]

Hi dm1973,

Actually these tests are not useless.  Of course good modern compilers
should optimize away the code above.  The reality is that the Android
compiler is not a good compiler so it does not optimize the above
code.  This allows the simple example above to show the performance
limitations of the Dalvik compiler.

The point of my sample code above is to quickly show the Dalvik vs C
performance without showing all the extraneous supporting code for
running the test.  It's easy enough to subtly change the example
posted above so it doesn't get optimized away though even by a good
compiler.  I.e. simply return the value from the method above and post
it to a text field in Android or log it in in C.  I actually ran the
tests that way (where the processing is not optimized away) to get the
results that I posted above.

[Biosopher]

Just following up to my initial post, I have implemented the above
look in native code using Android's SDK.  The native code performs in
a few milliseconds as hoped.  This goes to confirm that for compute
intensive tasks, Dalvik can be hundreds of times slower than native.

[android-developers] converting ycbcr 420 to rgb

[tdom...@googlemail.com]

Hi,
I want to display the preview frames of an android smartphone on an
opengl texture. As opengl es only support RGB and the preview frame is
encoded with YCbCr 4:2:0. Therefor I have to convert from one to the
other. Though I wasn't successful in doing so, so far. Maybe someone
can help me with it. I found some sources/example code here:

http://groups.google.de/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/c85e829ab209ceea/adca218ec3555c81?lnk=gst&q=ycbcr+420+rgb#adca218ec3555c81

http://blog.tomgibara.com/post/132956174/yuv420-to-rgb565-conversion-in-android

my code can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/andar/source/browse/#svn/trunk/AndOpenGLCam/src/edu/dhbw/andopenglcam
especially the classes CameraPreviewHandler.java and
OpenGLCamRenderer.java are important.

When using the example from the android project(http://tinyurl.com/
y9l36tl) it results in this:
http://picfront.de/d/Saj1pYfo4/IMG_7715.jpg

I can get the best result from using the outcommented formula from
(http://tinyurl.com/y9l36tl) and inverting RGB in BGR:
http://picfront.de/d/x4iMqes9/IMG_7717.jpg
it shows red planes in green and some blue edges around everything...

any help is appreciated :D

of that emulator?

I would like to use computers web cam and the bluetooth devices as
emulators, if there are those features in the running machine. Is that

Thanks

These features are not emulated and are planned for 2010, if not preempted
by more important stuff.
You can have a look at the emulator sources under external/qemu in the
Android repository.

Note that being able to do that will require at the very least changes to
the kernel configuration used for the emulator, plus some changes to the
system itself.

[android-developers] Re: How to use the "Object android.widget.AdapterView.getItemAtPosition(int position)"

[theSmith]

If the CheckBox is inside an AdapterView then you can cast
the Object returned by getItemAtPosition() to a CheckBox, other wise
if it is a view then you really should be using view holders to cut
down on execution times.

I am NOT here to read the android docs to you. Go do it yourself. Read
the docs, the blog, watch the google I/O videos, then maybe I'll
answer some more intelligent questions.

Dev phone 2 - dev phone 1 firmware is still hidden/removed.

Also, for the "planned for 2010" features, where can we see a list of such
items?

Of course it's coming, faith is not required to believe that.  It's
the time offset that is the problem.

Phones are being sold with software we developers haven't had a chance
to evaluate our apps on.  Our lead time is now not just zero but days
into the negative.  It's completely inconsiderate of developer
reputations, it's just flat out wrong.

This isn't the first time, so the faith Google has instilled in me is
that it will continue to consider developers to be not very important.

And again, look at how this is being handled here:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?fid=4c5752ca3e5af4ff00047c96e4a64107&hl=en

Three weeks now the stats have been broken.

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in Android 2.0

[Mirmathrax]

Thank you Dianne,

>From the following code:

  if(numevents > 1)
 ptrId = (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_MASK)
 
MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_ID_SHIFT;

  action = action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;

  int ptrIndex = event.findPointerIndex(ptrId);

  float X = event.getX(ptrIndex);
  float Y = event.getY(ptrIndex);

I thought that when multiple fingers are down,  the X and Y returned
from the above code would be the ones associated with the event that
was generated, but I am getting the X and Y associated with the other
finger from the above code.

I will take a good thorough look at the pointerLocation sample and if
I still have problems, I will post more detail with all the points I
can find!


Thanks!

There's been no fix from Google, just that one person confirming the

[android-developers] Android Monkey Testing.

[satish]

Hi All,

I am executing Monkey testing on a Android device.
The command i am using is "adb shell monkey -p com.android.calculator2
-v 5000 > monkey-calculator.txt"

When we execute this command i suppose it should send 5000 events
to the device.In my case after sending event #150900 it stopped and i
see a message:


":Dropped: keys=0 pointers=0 trackballs=0 flips=0"

What does this message tell me?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Satish.

I think the easiest way is to keep track of the checked state in a

Something like this.

boolean[] selectedItems = new boolean[10];

void handleItemClick(View view, long rowId)
{
CompoundButton checkBox = (CompoundButton)
view.findViewById(android.R.id.checkbox);
selectedItems[rowId] = checkBox.isChecked();
}

[android-developers] trouble with OpenGL ES extension

[mhorse]

Our team is developing a 3D game engine based on Android NDK 1.6. The
target hardware is HTC G1. However, I had a trouble with using OpenGL
ES extension.
Although HTC G1 supporting GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension, I
can not find any obvious improving performance after I uesd it in my
programe. Did any one encounter the same problem?
The other question is where can I find reference of
GL_QUALCOMM_vertex_buffer_objecta and GL_QUALCOMM_direct_texture.
Thank you!

[android-developers] Reccomendation for phone with Bluetooth SPP?

[silverfox]

I am just beginning my first Android project and it involves using
Bluetooth SPP.  Since the emulator does not support Bluetooth, I
decided I need to bite the bullet and buy a phone.  Should I get an
ADP2 or a Droid or just be patient and wait for a Nexus One?
Advantages or disadvantages of one choice over another?   Also, does
anyone hold out any hope of a version of the emulator coming out any
time soon with Bluetooth capability?
