Re: [android-developers] Re: Launching the correct activity on resume

2010-01-24 Thread Yuvi

Hi.

I noticed something similar while developing for android...that is:
when I start the app from eclipse (either debug as, or run as) launching
Activity 1, then go to Activity 2, then press Home, and then restart the
app, I see that Activity 1 is shown (while Activity 2 should be on top of
the stack). If I press back I get my running Activity 2...
To avoid that, when the app starts, the first thing I do is quit (by
pressing back). Then I start the app again (Activity 1), launch Activity
2, then press Home, and restart...I get correctly Activity 2...

I really don't know why it happens (I noticed that also when starting apps
downloaded from the Market, and launched directly from the notification
status bar).
Btw I didn't specify any launch mode (singleTask, singleInstance, etc..).
Maybe you should try removing that too..

Ciao!
Yuvi

What I currently have is an app that will only ever launch into

tells me I probably don't understand the Android Lifecycle as well as

Hi,

No need set up your Manifest to get this functionality.

You just use function onActivityResult() to code for your functionality.

Example:

Activity1 call Activity2 then Activity1 will resume after Activity2
finish.

Activity1 will call Activity2 by function: startActivityForResult(intent,
requestCode);

In Activity2, we need implement function onActivityResult() what you
want.
(Example: setResult(0);
this.finish();)

Hope you success!

[android-developers] Re: Problem while sending unicode character via SMS

2010-01-24 Thread andu

Hi How are you

As you have suggested me I have installed the Ethiopian font in my
device. And I think the font is installed properly. But still the SMS
doesn't work. I don't know which part I can check. The message still
replaces unicode characters by space characters in the receiving side.
can you suggest me some more points that I should check or correct?

Thank you again.

 If the received character is U+0020 instead of U+1200, then chances are that

 Another problem may be the font. Have you installed the Ethiopian fonts in
 your device or emulator? I just tried adding ቁ into an Android
 application's string.xml res file. On both the emulator and the Droid, the
 character is displayed as a small rectangle.

 It may help in debugging to try some Latin-1/ISO-8859-1 characters, such as
 U+00E3. This would test the 7-bit issue without having to install Ethiopian
 fonts on the emulator or device.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Launching the correct activity on resume

2010-01-24 Thread Dianne Hackborn

Set android:launchMode=singleTop on your first activity.  You will then
get an onNewIntent() when you are re-launched from home.  There you can
startActivity() for your second activity; if you want back from the second
activity to skip the first, you can call finish() in the first after
starting the second.

You may want to do the same thing in onCreate() (when savedState is null),
to take care of the case where they launch your activity after finishing it
via back.

Re: [android-developers] Using OS 1.6 and Up , are we penalized on the market ?

2010-01-24 Thread Dianne Hackborn

If you are explicitly supporting 1.6 and up, users are NOT shown these
permissions, since you have set android:targetSdk=4 so the platform will
not automatically add those permissions.

If you have not set the targetSdk to 4 or higher, then you are an older app,
and the platform must automatically give you those permissions, because on
previous versions of the platform there was no restriction on applications
doing these things.

 getNeighboringCellInfo() method, it works much better.  
 Thesignalstrengthreadings from neighboring cells change frequently, and they
 have much better resolution.

 So, how can I get the current cellsignalstrengthin the same way
 that I am getting the neighboring cell strengths?  It seems odd to me
 that the functionality of the neighboring cells is better than the

 I would also like to directly call a method from the telephony manager

 If anyone knows how, please let me know.  Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Using OS 1.6 and Up , are we penalized on the market ?

No because we have been too short with the 325char description and we
had no room to add this information at the moment, we have just
released the application (this is the first one) so this is an
unexpected issue, we did not expect the mass end-user to react this
way to this permission but clearly, they did not have the experience
to see it before (apparently???) so we can understand that without the
proper education on why this new permission is now...popping up they
just ask themselves  why is this NEW permission needed and why your
application only???, so i believe now that we must find a way to add
it to the description now and very fast.

Re: [android-developers] Apps not appearing in market place on certain phones

2010-01-24 Thread Dave Gracie

I had the same issue when releasing one of my applications, the app didnt
appear on the Orange UK network.

This was, as TonyDoc referred to, due to the app being protected. There is a
link somewhere on the android site showing all providers who allow protected
applications. I was not aware of this being phone specific however.

My family has got three android phones, an HTC Hero, a Samsung Galaxy,

On the T-Mobile Pulse, when searching for a couple of apps (ones that
I have installed on the other two devices), I get returned 'no
matches'. For example, if I search for 'BrightAI', which is a
developer who has around 8 apps on the market, I get no matches. If I
search for individual apps, I get 'no matches'. Searching for the same

Does anyone have any ideas why certain apps are accessible on one

I think you may be over reacting. Users are most likely not going to
care if you write to the SD card. I would bet that 99 out of 100 users
don't even read or care about what permissions you're asking for, the
100th person is probably searching the skies for black helicopters
anyway, so it's highly unlikely you'll be able to please that person
regardless of what you do.

You have a choice, use the SD card or not. If you do, you'll have to
have permission. I don't see that as a problem.

2010-01-24 Thread TonyDoc

Hi Dave,

I was unaware that some providers are specifically blocking protected
apps, should they not be required to advertise this fact to allow folk
to make a better informed decision when purchasing a phone from them?
Would a solution be to ask t-mobile to unlock the phone due to these
unadvertised restrictions, and then move to a different network
provider?

Also, my hero is on the Orange UK network. That seems to work fine.

[android-developers] Asset/Resource in Content Provider

2010-01-24 Thread Alex

Hey
I need top specify a URI when opening an intent using the following
line:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(mediaUri, image/png);

My ContentProvider is all set up, but I have NO idea how to point the
Uri to the resource or asset. the following does NOT work (cant find
file):

Uri mediaUri = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE +
:// + getApplicationContext().getResources
().getResourcePackageName(R.drawable.icon) +
/ + R.drawable.icon);

Cant get it working with assets OR resources

[android-developers] layoutopt tool for TableLayout with one child and overlapping of views

2010-01-24 Thread Nikhil Agarwal

I am using the following xml for a view:-

TableLayout
TableRow...
TextView.../
CheckBox.../
/TableRow
/TableLayout

For this view, I got the following output from layoutopt tool
...This TableRow layout or its TableLayout parent is useless

I am not sure if I can remove TableRow or TableLayout. How can I solve
this? I don't want the TextView to be covered by Checkbox irrespective
of how much text is there in the TextView which is why I used the
TableLayout.

Also I had to use TableLayout in some places when I wanted two
TextViews on the same line to not overlap. Is there another solution
to prevent overlapping of views?

I would like to know how you solve this because I have a similar need

 This is not an Android thing, it's a Java thing. Because the anonymous
 instance of OnClickListener can exist after the onCreate method
 completes its execution, you have to declare that builder is final
 otherwise it will be cleaned up with any other local variables because
 it's no longer in scope.

Actually the anonymous class object still has a reference to builder
so it won't be cleaned up anyway.  The final keyword has nothing to
do with garbage collection.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to close an application?

Frank, yes.. in short, badly behaved (coded?) applications that are not shut
down can drain battery life. I agree with Streets tho.. don't use
System.exit, just call finish() on the activity, and make sure to implement
the onPause and onDestroy correctly, cleaning up all threads, etc. Try
teaching an end user that an app may have threads left over which is eating
up your battery tho. That is why I think one of the most often posted end
user threads is about battery life. When I use Advanced Task Killer to kill
all apps before I sleep my phone, my batter will last all day easily, that
includes surfing the net, checking email several times, doing several phone
calls, using the maps, etc. Yet, my dad, who today I talked into buying an
Eris since he doesn't need the keyboard of the droid, said he did some
searching and found tons of posts on users complaining of horrible battery
life. Why is this? I can't imagine those users simply leave their phone on
all the time. The only thing I can think of is bad battery or rogue apps
that are not properly cleaning up things that consume battery life. If you
sleep your phone... does the front most activity/app pause? Or if it spawns
a thread (or more), do those still run even with the phone sleeping? I know
sometimes I've had the maps app going and press the power button to sleep my
phone.. come back a couple hours later and my batter is drained (or some
sort of drainage did occur). I can't say for sure it was the maps, but I
thought sleeping the phone would only allow background services to run, and
even thought perhaps only phone specific things like sms, emails and phone
calls would continue to run and most other things would be paused... with
the exception of timer services that wake up the phone on some condition.

 If you want to make sure that your app shuts down completely:
 - Implement onPause to pause any threads running in the background (if
 you have any)
 - Implement onDestroy to clean up any other resources (stop threads,
 if any, for example)

 Short of the user pulling the battery, the onPause is guaranteed to be
 called.
 If the onDestroy is not called, your process has been killed
 forcefully by Android -- resources are cleanup anyway.

 It is absolutely not necessary to do a System.exit() and can result in
 the behavior described by Pink444 (restarting of the process and
 activity). Even the Anrdroid apps that do implement a 'Quit' or 'Exit'
 button, most (i hope all) of them just do a call to 'finish()' and
 clean up stuff in the onDestroy. They should not ever call System.exit
 ().

 For apps that behave badly and leave threads actively running when
 their activities are in the background: They indeed will drain the
 battery. The user can figure this out, though (Battery info) and kill
 or even uninstall the app. For your app, just make sure your app
 behaves gracefully :-) ... it's in your control.

 It's just another model of programming model (although very close to
 regular event-driven programming) and that's actually the best part
 about it. I'm learning something new!

 In general, you can write activities that can be called by other
 activities. Your activity can be called within the process of another
 activity that is not yours. Doing a System.exit() may adversely affect
 the calling (parent) activity.

[android-developers] Re: Contacts FAQ?

2010-01-24 Thread Berto

So, it turns out that anything you put into your own ExternalSource
will never get parsed and therefore (theoretically) never show up.  Or
am I doing something wrong?  The code looks like it will parse only
the information in ContactsDataKind and not the EditField node from
the following:

ContactsSource xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
ContactsDataKind
android:mimeType=com.example.mimetype
android:icon=@drawable/icon
android:summaryColumn=data2
android:detailColumn=data3
EditField column=data1 title=@string/sample_string /
/ContactsDataKind
/ContactsSource

Essentially, I have adding an account and the sync adapter working.
But when I try to create a new contact through the contacts app, I can
never see any of the fields I added in the XML structure defined by
meta-data android:name=android.provider.CONTACTS_STRUCTURE
android:resource=@xml/contacts /.  Has anyone figured out an
answer to this problem yet?  I've seen a few posts, but nothing with a
solid answer.

[android-developers] Is there a way to control/monitor power usage with android APIs?

2010-01-24 Thread Cameron

I am new to the android platform.  I am a graduate student and I am
researching ways to reduce energy consumption for on-line games
through methods such as turning the wifi off during known periods of
inactivity or by reducing CPU clock speed through dynamic voltage
scaling.  Are there power usage models for the simulator with the
bundled SDK?  Are there APIs to dynamically monitor energy
consumption?

Thank you,

Cameron

[android-developers] Re: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

2010-01-24 Thread Gilles Duboscq

I had the problem on Win7x64 using http worked fine,
i made a tcpdump of what happens when AVD tries to use https location
and compared it to downloading the same file with chrome
AVD sends a SSLv2 Client Hello while chrome sends a TLSv1 Client Hello
then the Server Hello, Certificate, and Server Hello replies are the
same (all TLSv1)
After that chromes continues with the handshake while AVD sends an
Alert (type== Unexpected Message)
looks like it wants SSLv2 and wont accept the TLSv1 handshake

I'm using
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)

 Strange thing though. When I reopen AVD, the new http site is checked,
 but AVD is still trying to go to
 the https site. So I have to deselect and reselect the site check
 boxes. IDK, it works.

I had to select force http, and put user/password for proxy in JVM

But when trying to download, it stays stuck (looks like it waits for
user/password, but no prompt).

Oh in fact it is ok. Through a second proxy (with authentication too)
it worked. Looks like the first proxy (a bit more restrictive) blocked
the downloading url. (I could not check why since the URL is not
shown)

   What is the download URL ?
   Because I still have problems with the proxy I use. I can download
   updates metadata, but when trying to install, it hangs.
   I suspect the proxy blocks the download URL (but

   can I check what this download url is  (so I could ask for correction

[android-developers] Any problems developing on XP-64?

I am attempting to use XP-64 with Eclipse to develop my first Android
app and I want to test it on my Nexus One.  I successfully installed
the USB driver and the device manager shows Android Phone  Android
Composite ADB Interface, so everything looks OK.  The phone is
connected via USB to the PC and USB Debugging is turned on, but when I
run adb devices, the phone does not appear in the list of attached
devices and Eclipse doesn't present it as a target for deployment.
Could this be an XP-64 problem?  I am able to deploy to the emulator.

[android-developers] Re: Launching the correct activity on resume

2010-01-24 Thread jotobjects

Hm. The difference between task state and activity stack is not easy
to grasp (for me). You always start a new activity-stack when you
return to Home as I understand it. At any point you can switch to
another task by long-pressing Home to get the recent task list.

If Activity1 and Activity2 are part of the same task and Activity2 is
foreground when pressing the Home key, then I thought that choosing
that app on the Home screen would return you to Activity2. This is
what the OP expected and what I expect too.

See for instance #3 (Switch to first task...) at this link -
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/activity_task_design.html#switching_between_tasks

What is the launchmode in the manifest for Activty1 and Activity2?

Set android:launchMode=singleTop on your first activity. You will then

startActivity() for your second activity; if you want back from the second

You may want to do the same thing in onCreate() (when savedState is null),
to take care of the case where they launch your activity after finishing it

Hi,

No need set up your Manifest to get this functionality.

You just use function onActivityResult() to code for your functionality.

Example:

Activity1 call Activity2 then Activity1 will resume after Activity2
finish.

Activity1 will call Activity2 by function: startActivityForResult(intent,
requestCode);

In Activity2, we need implement function onActivityResult() what you
want.
(Example: setResult(0);
this.finish();)

Hope you success!

I have code in place that performs the uploads/downloads in the

[android-developers] Re: Loop audio from mic to earpiece?

Not 100% sure about the earpiece, but you specify a stream when you
create the AudioTrack and I think a stream encpsulates audio routing
and volume amongst possibly other things.

If you set the stream to STREAM_VOICE_CALL it might come through the
earpiece as this is where a call would be routed, although I guess
that depends on headsets and stuff.
Can anyone clarify if I am right?

As for earpiece routing we can route audio to earpiece using
setrouting call in the case of cupcake.In case of ECLAIR you can use
various custom api's provided by android to route it to earpiece
(google it).You need to set the route explicitly to get the audio out
of earpiece or any other place.STREAM_VOICE_CALL will work i think but
not 100% sure.Please check in case you are not getting let me know.

2010-01-24 Thread niko20

You're supposed to query the device with a GetMinBufferSize call
first, and then check that for any error codes. I'm guessing if you do
that you will get correct error codes. Don't rely on the AudioTrack
creation to give you the error codes for testing the device's
capabilities. Use AudioTrack.GetMinBufferSize first before you try to
create the AudioTrack.

  Does anyone know of a better way to detect 16KHz vs. 8KHz capabilities

[android-developers] Re: Synchronizing AudioTrack and AudioRecord

I think it would be extremely difficult to do this in current
architecture of android(you need to have a sound server running in
android to do this kind of task).Basically you need to change your
alsa driver to do that.By just calling audiotrack api's it would be
difficult to get both the device(playback and recording) to start
simultaneously.

Below is a reply from Paul davis where the question was multiple sound
cards but in your case it would be two substreams(alsa terminology)
pcm0c and pcm0p.
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00040.html

Someone from windriver team can lend a hand and probably add some api
to alsa files to give this feature to applications for doing this kind
of task.

You can dump the buffers in audioflinger and play it in some raw pcm

there is some problem with playing back.

[android-developers] Re: How to perform socket communication

2010-01-24 Thread g...@devicedriven

i think your problem is the ip address..127.0.0.1 is the device/
emulator itself not the machine on which you are programming...if you
need to call localhost u should try this address--10.0.2.2

read this too--http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/

Re: [android-developers] Guide Me Right Way

You are definitely going to want to learn Java first. Android should come
long after it. You can try, but will find yourself missing quite a bit and
getting stuck a lot if you try to learn Java and Android at the same time.
Android is one of those things you do after you understand Java. To
understand Java will take months of learning, practicing, etc. I'd say most
developers take quite a bit longer to really understand the internals of how
the JVM works, the language, and a good handle on a lot of the libraries you
will need.

[android-developers] Re: Guide Me Right Way

2010-01-24 Thread Anthoni

Hi Sanj,

I was also in this same predicament a few days ago.
Desperately wanted to learn Android programming, but knew smatterings
of Java code.

What I did was the following :-
--
Purchase Sams Teach Yourself Java In 21 Days
Purchase Java Generics and Collections (Note: Android heavily uses
Generics so you need a firm grasp on them)
Purchase Hello Android

There are also lots of bookmarks and tutorial sites ready to read and
digest once you know your way around the
basics of Java. Last week I got the Sams book, on Saturday I deployed
my first Android application to the
emulator. I still have lots more to learn but I am looking forward to
the journey.

[android-developers] Re: Getting the Manifest Version Code

2010-01-24 Thread dapaintballer331

Yea I caught that on my own. Here I went even further to convert the
version to string, and prevent a null pointer by using an empty string
that exists.

String versionNo = ;
PackageInfo pInfo = null;
try{
pInfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo
(com.yourpackagehere,PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
pInfo = null;
}
if(pInfo != null)
versionNo = +pInfo.versionCode;

You also need some imports

import android.content.pm.PackageInfo;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException;


On Jan 24, 7:24 am, Chris.H mrchi...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi..

 Just a general tip:
 It's better to put the use/printout within the try statement (or exit
 the function etc if it catches the error), as pInfo (in this case)
 would be null if the info isn't found, and then you get a
 NullException instead...

 so, either:

 try {
         pInfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(com.beanie.test,
 PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);

         System.out.println(pInfo.versionCode);} catch (NameNotFoundException 
 e) {

         e.printStackTrace();

 }

 or:

 try {
         pInfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(com.beanie.test,
 PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {

         e.printStackTrace();
         return; /* return false;  or  return null; */

 }

 System.out.println(pInfo.versionCode);

 Just something to remember, so you don't introduce one extra
 (unnecessary) possible exception/bug, that you need to catch, while
 catching another exception...

Thank you for your feedback, I rather not based my business on guess
or bet but on fact, we got 25 emails from users about this issue on
launch day 1, i think we should listen to them. I believe we have a
quality app and soon people will know about those permission, however
in the meantine, we are going to see if we can convert to MinSdk3 and
support more customers and erase this local trouble until it is a
common and accepted fact among the users. Btw, 1.6 is not really
supported by phone makers, most of them don't provide the update and
wait to go directly to 2.0 or even 2.1 so it might not be a so
bad...move..after all.

 Is there a way to get around this? or should I physically be present

 Does the Android market determine the location by the IP address of

Re: [android-developers] ViewFlipper switching views on screen orientation change

whenever the orientation is changed the onCreate fuction is called again
(unless you handled it). Means your activity is refreshed.

before orientation change happened onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() is
called. You can save you activity state in this function.

And then in onCreate you can get it by calling

Object data = getLastNonConfigurationInstance();

Hope it helps.

whenever the orientation is changed the onCreate fuction is called again
(unless you handled it). Means your activity is refreshed.

before orientation change happened onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() is
called. You can save you activity state in this function.

And then in onCreate you can get it by calling

Object data = getLastNonConfigurationInstance();

Hope it helps.

[android-developers] Re: Using OS 1.6 and Up , are we penalized on the market ?

Well, sounds like we do not have that option to switch back to 1.5
after all, we do call OpenGL 1.x API within the native code and it
seems not supported in 1.5. We shall explain and handle case by case
our potential users's concerns and educated them about our
application. Like previously said, state into the app description the
reason why the permission is needed is a good start :)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using OS 1.6 and Up , are we penalized on the market ?

Carlo,

You must have a very protective unique group of people using your app. I've
asked dozens of droid users and not one of them pay attention to the
permissions. Like others said, they want they app, they install it and so
far everyone I've talked to doesn't look at the permissions thing at all.
They just tap ok ok ok until it's installed.

Since they emailed you, you may want to return an email to all them, perhaps
the same email in bulk to them, and explain to them how this has changed and
that your app will only store info on the SD card.

I also am finding it hard to imagine anyone buying an android device with 8,
16 soon 32GB of SD card space, worrying about stuff being stored. I do
understand what you mean..the word modify might suggest that it may find
other content and do something to it, but like I said you must have a pretty
unique set of people using your app.

On average, people don't care too much. If they want the app, they
will install it anyways. The best way is to build a quality app and
build dev reliability/a dev brand, and that way people will trust you.

You have a choice, use the SD card or not. If you do, you'll have to
have permission. I don't see that as a problem.

Hi All,

Can someone in the US help me out?
Can you go to the Android Market, and search for 'nanonavi' to see if
you can see 2 versions?
One is paid and one is free.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards,

Hi All,

This question may sound stupid but let me give you bit of my
background.

I am a developer in a country which is neither a buying-app supported
nor a selling-app supported country, and have submitted my application
to Android market as a paid application.

Now, I would like to see if I can see my app on the the Android
market, but can't find a way to set my Android phone to as US account.

I have tried setting the location of my account to US, creating a new
Google Account and set my location to US, but both methods don't allow
me to browse the paid applications.

Is there a way to get around this? or should I physically be present
in one of those country to really test the presence of my paid apps in
the Android market?

Does the Android market determine the location by the IP address of
the Android Phone?

Thanks for your time reading,

Best regards,
Guillaume

[android-developers] Re: Using OS 1.6 and Up , are we penalized on the market ?

Yes we have already taken that path and to be precise, they are not
really yet our users since they did not install it, they just reported
their concerns and we replied them. Now, future will tell if they will
decide or not to install it.

Re: [android-developers] ContextMenu on TableLayout: how to get selected item position?

2010-01-24 Thread Atif Gulzar

I had the similar issue and solved it with a work around. In your table row
add a TextView and makes its visibility GONE and set its text as 0,1,2,4...
for respective rows. Add a single listener for each row. When some row is
clicked the listener will give you a clicked view. From this view get the
text view from this text view the index.

Hi,

ContextMenu seems quite handy as long as we are using an AdapterView as we
can easily get selected item position in onContextItemSelected from
AdapterContextMenuInfo.position

Any idea how we can achieve something similar in a TableLayout?
In my TableLayout, i have some TableRow and i would like to get the row
index in the onContextItemSelected callback like i would do with a simple
ListView.

I guess i will have to register the contextmenu for each row? but how can
tie the row index with the menu? i see no way to do it with
registerForContextMenu.

Thks,
Thierry.
