[android-developers] Re: user agent of the device ..
If you're using a WebView, the answer is yes. WebView webview = ...; WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings(); String uastring = settings.getUserAgentString(); I don't know of a way to ask the Browser application itself -- but if you're doing this level of stuff, you may be wanting more control anyway, and want to use a WebView. What would you do with this information in an app? I guess you could run a little web server in your app, direct the browser to it, pick up the UA string, and redirect to somewhere else. Bleh. A whole lot of hackery for something that hardly ever changes.

[android-developers] Non-parallel construction of DatePicker and TimePicker
I was surprised and dismayed to discover that the DatePicker and TimePicker classes, which are of parallel construction in almost every way, differ in one significant way. There is no setOnDateChangedListener(...) method in DatePicker while there is a setOnTimeChangedListener(...) method in TimePicker. For two classes that parallel one another in every other way, including the appearance and operation of their corresponding Views, why do they diverge in this fairly important aspect? I eventually discovered that there is a way to set the OnDateListener through the init(...) method, but COME ON! Was this just an oversight on Google's part? I hope that they fix this in a coming release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Gack. I see I said that. Thanks for correcting it.

[android-developers] Re: AudioTrack lag
Well, I say again that blocking/non-blocking really has nothing to do with how quickly you can respond. When you queue data up to be played, whether via a blocking call, or a non-blocking call, at some point, you no longer have the ability to abort. The distance in the pipeline between that point, and the actual output, is your minimum latency. If you queue up a transfer via a non-blocking call, you either have a way to abort that transfer at that level, or not. Same with a blocking call. The only difference is, in a blocking call any such abort has to come from another thread -- and naturally would, since the thread that is blocked is just doing transfers. The code that would be in the non- blocking loop that would do the abort of a queued transfer, no longer requires a polling test, or whatever, and can live in another thread -- where it can safely block if needed -- say, waiting on user input. Re: 2 vs 3 buffers -- actually I mentioned the more general case, of which 3 is a special case. Any time you want to allow the source to get further ahead of the sink, you can increase the number of buffers > 2. There's nothing magic about 3; 2 is often quite enough, if the source is reliably fast enough to fill it before the next flip. But if you have a variable-speed source, you may need >2 buffers -- and if you have a slow one, and no tolerance for undderruns, you might need to even buffer the entire stream before starting. So anyway -- I definitely don't agree that blocking is never a good thing. It's a different thing, with distinct advantages to the coder. I don't know of any inherent reason or case where one is faster than the other -- when done properly, and designed to the same parameters. E.g. if you can abort a transfer-in-progress in one, for a fair comparison you should be able to abort a transfer-in-progress in the other. Now, two different implementations of either may have different latency. Offloading the audio onto a chip inherently deepens the pipeline. Presence/absence of the ability to cleanly abort a transfer. Poor scheduler behavior can make a difference, too. I'm only comparing ideal implementations when I say they're equivalent. Ultimately, though, it only has to be "good enough" -- beyond that, I value programmer productivity and bug-free code very highly.

Re: [android-developers] Layout resource: FWVGA vs. WVGA
The long qualifier is for something "significantly longer" than the original standard HVGA screen, nothing more than that. Absolutely positively do not use the old raw screen size qualifiers; this simply do no work, and you can pretty much assume that you will not get what you want in some specific device configurations. Honestly, resource qualifiers are just not the level at which to work for "oh there might be 50 more pixels available for me to put an extra row of buttons." I think you would be better of designing a single layout the gracefully adjusts when there is less space. You may want to write your own layout manager for doing that kind of logic (we don't really have a layout manager that can do "include this view if there is space" stuff), but that's not hard to do.

[android-developers] Re: $3.00 Marketplace chargeback ?!?!
Google Marketplace only accepts Google Checkout, so if you're selling through Google Marketplace, you can't use PayPal either directly or indirectly (it's in your agreement). If you're selling from your website, or from one of the other Android stores, you'll have to deal with PayPal's own set of rules and issues. I'm not very familiar with those. I'm sure they must have charge backs, but you'd have to investigate the details, preferably BEFORE signing up and selling. Theft is theft, but the people to blame are the thieves.

[android-developers] Re: GPS code works in HTC machines but fails in MOTO's
I should add, however, that while I can't really tell from the code fragments you sent -- it's likely you don't need to be using Handler's either. ASyncTask takes care of those for you. You'll need to allocate the ASyncTask in the main thread as well.

[android-developers] Re: GPS code works in HTC machines but fails in MOTO's
I think his use of the main Looper is OK -- though not something I would endorse, in part, because: I think the problem is in the lifetime of his handlers. Yidongsoft: Normally, you allocate the Handler in your main thread -- and then HANG ONTO THEM, generally in an instance field of your Activity or Service. They'll pick up the main looper automatically if you create them in the main thread. Now, I don't know for sure that a Handler doesn't install some strong reference to itself in the Looper. But I would expect it to only install a weak reference -- that means, the GC will throw away the Handler -- and its code -- sometime after you exit each of your methods. If this is hypothesis is correct, the reason you see different behavior is likely that the HTC devices you're considering (such as the Nexus One) have more RAM than the Moto DROID, which only has 256 MB. So things get GC'd quicker. I'm not going to go read the code to find out, because there's a pattern I see no need to deviate from: * Create your Handler in the context of whatever you want to associate with handling it. For example, if you're updating a view in an activity, create it in the onCreate() method for the view. * Save your handler in an instance variable in that context. In other words, the Handler is owned by the context in which it runs, not the context in which messages are posted. * When you run some code in some other context that wants to post back -- pass it the Handler, so it can do so. (Often this will be from code from the same class -- you can just refer to the instance variable). Try changing your code to work that way, and see if it works better. I'm not going to look, because I base this guess on long experience designing frameworks like this. And it's how I would do it. You WANT your posted code to go away, if the Handler is no longer needed before it gets to run. Actually, I'd be even MORE aggressive on the point, and not give you any direct access to the Handler, and make you queue it up via the object with which the Handler is associated -- e.g. an Activity or Service. Even if I'm wrong -- you don't want to write your code that way -- handing important information to an object for later use, and then just letting go of it. If coding that way doesn't get you into trouble here, it will somewhere else. And even if it doesn't get you into trouble directly -- when you get in trouble with something else, you'll look at this code, and NOT KNOW whether you have this problem or not. So regardless of whether this is your bug or not -- it's Bad Practice. Or to put a more positive spin on things: It's Good Practice to associate a Handler with the context in which things are being Handled, and initialize them with that object, in the same thread.

Re: [android-developers] Layout resource: FWVGA vs. WVGA
Thanks for the fast reply Dianne. I think I understood the whole density/size vs pixels approach, but this is an issue about aspect ratios. Android already *has* that distinction with the long/notlong qualifier, just that the WVGA/FWVGA distinction is not made. My layout is maybe a special case. It is a presentation of a remote control[1] that simply would contain an additional row of buttons on FWGA (or let's say 1.78 vs 1.66 aspect ratio) resolutions. There is no keyboard whatsoever. So am I right that in this case all I have is the deprecated 123x456 qualifier?

Re: [android-developers] Layout resource: FWVGA vs. WVGA
No, there deliberately isn't. At that level, you really shouldn't be creating distinct layouts -- I'd strongly encourage you to design a layout that can resize appropriately to adjust for the screen. (long is to distinguish between HVGA and large screens like WVGA/FWVGA). Larger picture, you really should avoiding having layouts for different screen sizes as much as possible. You can already see with the number of sizes we have that this is just not scalable: QVGA, HVGA, WVGA (both med and high density), FWVGA (both med and high density), and of course both portrait and landscape versions of all of those. And in the future you should expect even more varieties (wider screens, larger screens, maybe even smaller screens). Also for a given size -- say FWVGA -- there is not a guarantee of exactly how much space you may have. For example a device may have a slightly smaller or larger status bar that impacts the space you have. And then if you are taking user input, there is the whole impact of the soft keyboard being displayed and thus reducing the space available for your UI during that time. So we strongly encourage that developers make use of the dynamic layout manager in the framework to design their UI to adjust for the exact space they have available.

[android-developers] Layout resource: FWVGA vs. WVGA
Hello there, This seems like a simple problem to me, but I can't figure it out. I have a fullscreen layout that displays differently if the screen is taller (854 instead of 800 pixels). I've tried putting the xml into layout-notlong-hdpiand layout-long-dpi respectively, but both my WVGA and FWVGA emulators go for the "long" version (as described in the doc). Is there any way to distinguish between the two besides using the deprecated -800x480/-854x480 qualifiers? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I am using Android 1.6 as I need to support all the phones which are working on that version also.

Yes I was using launchMode=singleTask. I actually wanted singleInstance but somehow Voice recognizer is giving a connection problem when I use singleInstance. So just to see if it is working in the way you suggested, I tried removing all the launchMode etc in manifest and just left the activity name and label. This time onStop method or the onRestart method are never ever called. But these are being called when I set finishTaskOnLaunch to true in the manifest. Thank you anyway for the help and the suggestions.

i haven't seen sources but what you posted is all about key events not
touch events
i think that list view's swipe model is based on gesture detector &
scroller - at least it could be the easiest way to implement it

Actually, I'm working with openGL. So, it looks like
I'm supposed to set up a GestureListener and override
onFling to increment Y or X. Then use Y and X from there to rotate my
object and
slow it down and stop it using a math function.

[android-developers] Re: $3.00 Marketplace chargeback ?!?!
Relax!!! It happened to me too a few times. It sucks, but this is just the cost of doing business. And it's in the Android Market agreement that you accepted. If you were to handle the credit-card transations yourself, you would be complaining much louder. Just do a google search for 'chargeback' on credit cards and see what small businesses (e.g. convenient stores, pop-and-moms stores) think about this issue. Compared to them, this $3 is peanuts. Google handles credit card transactions and checks for fraud and such. This is not full-proof, but if you would have to deal with it yourself... not fun. For purchases of $10 or more, Google will initiate an investigation. But under that, you'll get an automatic $3 chargeback. Basically what happened to you is that your app has been 'stolen' twice. Again, it sucks and i do hope that it won't happen again to you (or me or anybody else). You've been victim of a petty crime...

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
switch (keyCode)
{
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN:

break;

This way a faster swipe results in a higher value?

Fixed that problem - if a category is listed in the
then CATEGORY_DEFAULT is required to also to be listed (not sure
why). This is the intent_filter that works -
RECAPPING THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT:
+ For launchMode=singleTask if there is an intent_filter in the
manifest the task stack is always cleared after returning to Home and
re-launching (returns to main activity instead of last activity).
+ For launchMode=standard re-launch from Home instead returns to last
activity in task (as expected).
+ If there is no intent_filter listed then even with
launchMode=singleTask re-launch from Home returns to the last activity
in the task.

[android-developers] Playing a music (mp3) file over the web using an intent
Hi,
I'm trying to make it so that the default music player application on
the cell phone will launch and play an mp3 at a web address.
If I do this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.chillinglizard.com/
KROQ_test/zak.mp3");
intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent);
First the browser will launch and then the browser will launch the
media player. But I don't want to launch the browser at all, I would
like the media player to launch only.
So, I also tried
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.chillinglizard.com/
KROQ_test/zak.mp3");
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setAction(AUDIO_SERVICE);
intent.setType("audio/*");
startActivity(intent);
But when I do this, nothing happens.
Anyone know how to get the media player to launch directly? It might
have to start downloading the mp3 to the sdcard and then launch the
media player and have it run off the local copy on the sdcard. But if
I did that, then I would have to handle all the buffering instead of
letting the media player do it.

[android-developers] Re: https connection problem
What actual change did you make to the server? The link you provided is for MSIE client connections so it is not clear what change you made for Android client connections. Also have you created an Android bug with this information? Your case should be reproducible if you provide details about the server version and configuration.

Hello, Lipinski! I'm very glad that my advise helps you :) As for your question about Menu orientation: actually Menu construction doesn't provide orientation, so I think it would use orientation of activity that it belongs to. It's my opinion on this question. But I didn't dig it this direction.

Hi, Can you please tell me how can I configure list view so that it can put focus to a focusable item within a list item? Android by default puts focus on the whole list item. Can I change it so that it can put focus to a focusable item within that item (e.g. a button)?

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Changed ranking
There was definitely a change in the ranking algorithm. Two of my apps had been stable at their respective positions for ~2 weeks and switched positions, along with most other apps in my category, some time in the past couple of days. If I had to guess, it looks like the new ranking algorithm weights customer ratings higher than before, and possibly also user retention. If you look at the top 50 paid games, for example, you won't find any rated below 4.5 stars, until you get to around #49. I don't believe this was the case last week. If I'm right, I guess this is generally a good change, although if you have the bad luck of being targeted with 1-star ratings by capricious users, it might not be.

[android-developers] GPS code works in HTC machines but fails in MOTO's
My code to obtain GPS coordinate works perfect in HTC cells. But I
find it doesn't work in Moto Droid. I debug it and find eveything
seems fine. But the coordinate never obtained. Please read my code
first:
/// defining listener
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle
extras) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
stateGPS = PR.Types.SERVICE_ACTION_STATE_UPDATED;
currentPosition.latitude = location.getLatitude();
currentPosition.longitude = location.getLongitude();
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
}
};
.
//updating location information
boolean gpsEnabled = false;
if
(locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
new Handler(getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
0, 0, locationListener);
}
});
gpsEnabled = true;
}
if
(locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER))
{
new Handler(getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
0, 0, locationListener);
}
});
gpsEnabled = true;
}
.
//fetching coordinate
Location l = null;

l =
locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
}
if (l == null &&
locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {

}
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
if (l == null) {
//gps unknown

return;
} else {
currentPosition.latitude =
l.getLatitude();
currentPosition.longitude =
l.getLongitude();
stateGPS =
PR.Types.SERVICE_ACTION_STATE_UPDATED;
}
No error message, No fatal return. Every things invoked well, but
onLocationChanged() never be run, getLastKnownLocation() always return
null - No GPS information get at all. I check all the settings.
GPS device is opened and every thing is OK. The same code works in my
HTC magic, G2.
Please help me. Thank you!

Well, there appears to be something afoot either with your app or with your environment. onStop(), at least as of Android 2.1, seems to behave as documented for fairly ordinary stuff. Mind you that my test code does not mess with android:launchMode or flags on activity starting or whatever, so if you are, that's something to experiment with. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] binding widgets with AppWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetId

AppWidgetPicker takes care of binding my appwidget-id to a provider.
However, now I'd like to load some widgets without using the
AppWidgetPicker (for instance, maybe I want to restore the added
appwidgets when I restart the application or something). I've tried
the following code
ComponentName widget = new ComponentName("com.android.alarmclock",
"com.android.alarmclock.AnalogAppWidgetProvider");
int appWidgetId = mAppWidgetHost.allocateAppWidgetId();
mAppWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetId(appWidgetId, widget);
but it fails with a SecurityException, even though I've added
to my manifest file. Is this the way to do it? (using
AppWidgetManager.bindAppWidgetId). Im using the emulator, and android
2.1.

[android-developers] relation between ViewRoot and View
Hi , Can any one give more information about ViewRoot and what's the relation between viewroot and view? I found a Viewroot create a surface at its' constructor, which I think is the real bitmap data goes to. So I guess every view has it own viewroot, every view has a surface for drawing and the surfaceflinger will finally blend all surfaces together, but I found it's definitely wrong. How view and viewroot cooperate is quite ambiguous to me. Any information will be appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
