[android-developers] Re: TextToSpeech synthesizeToFile() problem

[Dimitry Hristov]

Greg, thank you for the answer, now I know the problem is on my side.

Yes I was able to write a file with OutputStreamWriter. Did it to /
data/data/[my_package_name]/files not to the /sdcard though.

The strange thing is that synthesizeToFile returns
TextToSpeech.SUCCESS, while LogCat reports an error saying
"android_tts_SynthProxy_synthesizeToFile(): error creating output
file".

I'll try using different AVD versions and investigate. Otherwise will
have to install API sources and see what's inside.

[android-developers] Re: What does the prefix 'm' stand for ?

[Kaj Bjurman]

I don't buy that argument since since all of the core classes in Java
are written without prefixes of any kind, and many of the classes were
implemented before IDEs became popular. I do also think that the
convention would have been added to the "Code Conventions for the Java
Programming Language" (http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/
CodeConvTOC.doc.html) if Sun thought that it added some great value.

One thing that I have observed (it could be 100% wrong, but it's based
on reading Java code since the language was released in 1996) is that
most people who think they need prefixes and odd conventions write too
long methods, or too complex logic, and often in combination with
classes that are doing more than one thing. There's not need of
prefixing if your methods are short and easy to read (IMHO).

[android-developers] Re: Is there a normal human way to copy image from one folder to another?

[benderillo]

Thanks Anton.

It sounds like too much extra work for so simple and basic operation.
But, I guess this is only approach which would work for android.
Slightly disappointing though...

Re: [android-developers] question about handle and runnables

Maybe because the second option is not to much time displayed? Put more time

hi,

i am using handle and runnables to switch/change the content of the
TextView using a "timer". for some reason, when running, the app
always skips the second step ("Step Two: fry egg"), and only show the
last (third) step ("Step three: serve egg").


TextView t;
    private String sText;

    private Handler mHandler = new Handler();

    private Runnable mWaitRunnable = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            t.setText(sText);
        }
    };

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

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mMonster = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                R.drawable.monster1);

        t=new TextView(this);
        t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);

        sText = "Step One: unpack egg";
        t.setText(sText);

        sText = "Step Two: fry egg";
        mHandler.postDelayed(mWaitRunnable, 3000);

        sText = "Step three: serve egg";
        mHandler.postDelayed(mWaitRunnable, 4000);
        ...
}

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't know about the carrier's cut, this is interesting.
I still want to remind readers that the service is not free because I
think it is an important 'detail', but I'll rephrase this sentence to
make it more accurate / fair to Google.

Hello Venkat,
 Thanks for responding.

What is the difference between /data/data(app.memory) and own package
application memory? I thought they both are same.

 Thanks for the code, I am already able to write directly but I don't
want to do that because I want my image to be listed in Gallery on
save.

[android-developers] Re: Storing image in phone memory - exception

[A R]

Hello Venkat,
 Thanks for responding.

What is the difference between /data/data(app.memory) and own package
application memory? I thought they both are same.

 Thanks for the code, I am already able to write directly but I don't
want to do that because I want my image to be listed in Gallery on
save.

[android-developers] About intercept sms

[nigel]

Hi,all
I have a requirement as follow:

1.When receive a short message,I hope my app can intercept it.
2.At the same time I can get its content to a custom table,and system
cannot send a notification to user.
3.The new short message's notification is sent by my app.

Now I already finish this function,But have some issues.

I use ContentObserver class to implement this function,When I run it
on emulator,it's well.But when I run it on a actual device,It will
occur below issues:

I sent a message to target device.The system still send notification
for the new message.After few seconds,My custom notification send by
my app,too.So,There are two notifications for the same message.And
when user click system's notification,he will can't read the new
message,because I already delete it before my app's notification send
to user.

Can you help me to solve this problem.For example:I can receive a sms
befor it store into database or let sms notification not work when
some message can match condition I specify.

Thanks a lot.

[android-developers] Impossible to test contact groups in Android 2.0 with-out a physical phone?

[pistol]

My app (first written for Android 1.6) reads groups and contacts but I
have so far only been able to write code for 2.0 that compiles but I
have never executed.
Since the Contacts API and particularly the way groups work has
changed substantially in ways that I haven't quite been able to find
out I need to try it on a phone to see how it now works.

So is there any way at all I can test contact groups in the emulator?

I have looked all over for help on this and all I have been able to
glean is that I cannot get groups into the emulator unless I create
them in a Google (or other, Exchange?) account then sync with it.
However I cannot seem to sync/open an account from my emulator - and
this I have read may be impossible as you can only do it from a phone
with a valid IMEI.

Will I have to buy a phone?

thanks for any help.

Pete

Re: [android-developers] Re: eclipse linkedResources - linked layout xml is neither included in the apk nor generated

[Adrian Vintu]

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your input. I think they are all interesting ideas.

I have decided to use another approach though.

So here is how we are standing:
Project A (Java) is the common base and holds the layout xmls.
Projects B, C, etc (Android) are the regular applications.

I will make Eclipse file links in project B, C, etc to all the layout xmls
from project A.
I will add a prebuild script that will physically copy the files from
project A if no hard copy already exists in project B, C, etc (so physically
copy the linked files). The aapt will run ok.
Then I guess I will also have to delete them on post build.


I choose this way because it fits most for what I need. I also like it
because I have a visual representation of linked xmls. I can at any time
replace the linked xmls with custom ones, and I will immediately get visual
feedback - the linked/physical file icons in Eclipse.

It is a little bit weird, but I think, as usability, this fits my purposes
best.

Thank you,
BR,
Adrian Vintu

[android-developers] Re: Singleton Service ???

[MobDev]

actually I had a question regarding this...
I made a service which plays an MP3, so it uses a single instance (in
the whole service) of MediaPlayer..
Still I noticed (by mistake because the Service didn't get closed
while exiting my main Activity) that the Service obviously kept
running, but when I restarted my app it created another Service which
also could play the MP3, thus creating a "mixing" effect, having the
same MP3 playing double... The second one I could stop through my App
but the first "lost" one couldn't be stopped...
To me this doesn't look like a Singleton's behaviour, I actually have
two seperate entities of a Service running in the system...
Also, a little question, I use the onBind() method and the .aidl
interface methology to create my Service... Is there a correct way to
stop a Service ? And if so where should this be implemented (for
example unBind() in the onDestroy() method of my main Activity) ?
Thanks in advance Mark (or anyone who might shed some light on my
issue) !

[android-developers] Re: Singleton Service ???

[MobDev]

Lol,
I see I actually forgot to place the question in the first part of my
previous post :D
That is : if a Service already is running, is there some way to bind
to it when my app starts up, and/or programmatically check if it's
already running ?
So that I won't be having 2 separate Service entities that do exactly
the same...

[android-developers] Create a log screen with a dialog!

[nep0x]

hi people!

I m developing an app and a i have a little doubt. It is the
following:

My app first activity is very simple. it shows two buttons: ENTER  &
EXIT. When the user press the button ENTER the app displays a dialog
where the user have to log. I want that the app access to an external
database to check the user and the password. Once it is checked the
app starts the next activity. This is the idea.
I ve implemented the access to a an external database by a web service
(REST).

I ve done access to the database and display the result in an activity
with the well-known process of expanding another thead, create a
handler and execute runneable object.But in this case where must i
put the startActivity to start the next activity is the user exits? in
the handler? any advice?

thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: Populated database inside the app package (HOW-TO)?

[Todd S.]

I just got this to work yesterday, followed the following post:

http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

I was able to write a function that lets me overwrite the existing
database used by the app, export the existing database to the SD card
and import the exported database to the app.  The database gets placed
in the asset's folder and gets copied into the /data/data/
yourpackagename/databases folder when you run createDatabase().

Hope this helps.

[Todd S.]

I was able to get this to work by following post:

http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/

The database gets placed in the assets folder and then during the
createDatabase() gets copied into the "/data/data/yourpackagename/
databases/" folder.  Modifying this, you can easily use it to export
your database to the SD Card and import it as well.

[android-developers] (Update) Re: Talking to wpa_supplicant for TTLS / PEAP / TLS (Runtime+wpa_cli / JNI / LocalSocket(Unix domain socket) / wpa_supplicant.conf?)

[a2ronus]

(Update: I got a reply from Jouni Malinen on the hostap mailinglist, I
tried his approachm but that doesn't seem to work either. I posted the
message below on the hostap mailinglist as well, since it seems to be
an Android-wpa_supplicant combination problem)

Hello Jouni,

Thanks for the reply. I've tried talking to the Unix domain Socket,
but it doesn't work. It appears to be a permission problem.

You mentioned that Solution 3 should work.
Quote from my previous post; "- Solution 3: Talking directly to the
control interface of wpa_suplicant using Unix domain sockets. I found
that the Android API supplies us with the LocalSocket class for
this. ..."

I have tried 2 ways of connecting to the wpa_supplicant Unix domain
socket(s).

1. From an Android terminal emulator through wpa_cli.
2. I adapted an example Java Android program (original:
http://all4dev.blogspot.com/2009/02/android-localsocket-localserversocket.html).

For clarity: each Android app has its own group and username, for
example  = app_35:app_35. For each approach I adjusted
wpa_supplicant.conf>ctrl_interface_group to allow an app access to the
domain sockets, for example (ctrl_interface_group=app_35).

Results approach 1 ( From an Android terminal emulator through
wpa_cli. ):
1. I start up the Android terminal emulator and enter the command
wpa_cli -p/data/misc/wifi/sockets/ctrl_wpa_79-0. I get the message:

"Using interface 'tiwlan0'
Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying"
(The output is the same if I don't add the path to the socket, or
change the path to /data/misc/wifi/sockets.)

Results approaches 2a and 2b:
Next, I tried it from an Android Java program (with the correct
wpa_supplicant.conf.ctrl_interface_group and after
wpa_cli>reconfigure) using 2 slightly different approaches:
a. When I use 'tiwlan0' as LocalSocketAddress, I use an abstract
namespace for the LocalSocket. When I do this I get a 'connection
refused' error message from the Android debug tool logcat.
b. When In use "/data/misc/wifi/sockets/ctrl_wpa_79-0", I use the
Filesystem Namespace. I then get a 'permission denied' error message.
a&b Both throw an IOException at the line "receiver.connect(new
LocalSocketAddress(SOCKET_ADDRESS, NAMESPACE)); " (this happens when
"if socket is in invalid state or the address does not exist.").

So, or I'm doing something wrong, or something goes wrong with the
socket permissions. In the adb shell output the file permissions for
the sockets are set to  system:wifi.

Below this message you can find the shell output and the Java code.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Kind regards,

Aäron Jansen

[android-developers] Hang up phone call

[Isaac Wagner]

I've spend the last couple days looking for a way to hang up a phone
cal via the API.  I'm guessing for some "security" reason that Google
does not allow this.  Not being one to give up yet...is there any
undocumented way to hang up a phone call?

Of course the real solution would be for Google to add a HANG_UP_CALL
permission and expose the hangup() method to the public API, but it
doesn't appear that will happen. :(

Thanks,

-Isaac

Thanks for the suggestion.  Turned out the mp3 file I was testing with is
unplayable on android.  Transcoding with ogg and replacing fixed the problem. 
On the other hand, no other android apps were able to play the file.  The file
was generated from a WAV using LAME, and is playable with mplayer.)

Hi,

I'm not seeing any code where you are creating a new handler to use

You need a mHandler = new Handler(); in your OnCreate routine BEFORE
you use it.

[android-developers] Re: Petition: Google, please improve the Android Market.

[Streets Of Boston]

Yep, you're correct.
Google gets only a small portion of the 30% to cover the costs of the
payment transactions. The bulk of the 30% goes to the carriers. At an
Android Dev Lab Google told us Google's share just covers their cost.

Hi,

Are you sure about the carrier thing ?

I don't see when they are involved :

Clients only use the carrier as a dumb pipe here to get internet
access, they pay using google checkout which have their credit card
information(much like itunes does).
So google handle the payment itself.

When is the carrier involved at all ? I don't understand.

[android-developers] stay inside webview?!

[Marco Alexander Schmitz]

dear developer,

I need help on the following topic.

I just created a webview activity, and I loaded a webside into it.

Well, when the user starts to click on some button, my activity is
gone and the default webbrowser-activity is opened.

In this case my menuitems are lost.

Is it possible to keep the browsing user inside my activity?

Thanks!
Marco

Google has been very vague about where that 30% goes when you're on a nexus,
adp, etc.

Step #1: Create an implementation of WebViewClient

Step #2: In that WebViewClient, implement shouldOverrideUrlLoading() and
handle whichever links you want to yourself

Step #3: Attach an instance of your WebViewClient to your WebView

[android-developers] Bring Activity to front

[// C]

I am writing a small streaming application with purpose to test send
Activity to background and send Activity to foreground functionality.
Basically it looks like illustrated below. From the logs you can see
that the platform is trying to bring the streaming application to
front again, but unfortunately it fails to do so. Can someone give me
a hint what I am doing wrong ? I know my example is not best practice.
You should use notifications instead, but I still need to know why
this does not work as expected.

I tried this but unfortunately this did not work. Am I doing something
wrong ?
I enclose my piece of code and some log prints.


Intent myIntent = myStreamingPlayer.getIntent();
// Start StreamingPlayer etc ...


// Move StremingPlayer to background
myStreamingPlayer.moveTaskToBack(true);

// Play 5 more seconds
SystemClock.sleep(5000);

// move StreamingPlayer to foreground
myStreamingPlayer.startActivity(myIntent);

Unfortunately the StreamingPlayer remains in background here ...

[android-developers] exporting widgets in jar file without /res/values/attrs.XML and R.styleable ???

[Houcem Berrayana]

Hi all,

I was writing a kind of custom views that should be packaged in a jar
file to be used in other applications. So I have added some attributes
to my custom widgets in order to uses the related values in my widgets
constructor. The problem is that in the controller I am executing this
king of instructions:
scrolling = arr.getBoolean(R.styleable.ScrollTextView_setScrolling,
false);

Notice that I am referencing R.styleable class. This is fine when I
use my widgets directly in my application because it can see R class.

Now, if I want to export my widgets in a separate jar file. so there
will not be an R class and there's not the attributes declaration XML
file. It will certainly refuse to compile!!! Is there a way to export
R.java and /re/values/attrs.xml ??? If not is there a way to tell java
compilator not to look for R.class ???

Thank you.
Best regards,
Houcem

[android-developers] Re: MapView

[Aamir Yaseen]

Hi everyone,
I was able to solve this issue, so thought better update everyone,
this might help others.

Mistake I was making was:
I had to call setState(marker, stateBitset) in the getMarker(int
stateBitset) method of OverlayItem., otherwise it does not work.

StateListDrawable is mazing way of changing icon/look and feel of any
component depending upon its state :)

Special thanks to TreKing for the help.


Regards,
Aamir Yaseen

Not really. You can use getIdentifier() on Resources to look up the IDs
you need on the fly, but please cache those values, as that call is
apparently a bit expensive (uses reflection IIRC).

Thank you Mark,
Actually I will be using this is constructor and I will not have more

that may help.

[android-developers] Re: Petition: Google, please improve the Android Market.

[Streets Of Boston]

Well,

This is what Google told us at the Android Developers Lab. The bulk of
the 30% goes to the carriers, a fraction of this 30% goes to google to
run Google Checkout and the payment processor.

I guess the bulk of the 30% that goes to the carrier is an incentive
to have Android Market (and not other markets?) installed.

[android-developers] from webview to activity

[Marco Alexander Schmitz]

dear developer,

is it possible that a user clicks inside a webview on a link like  and then my activity is opened?

I need this for sms, email, telephone and some specials.

Lets say the user browses on the impressum and clicks on the phone
number for support. I want the phone to call that number...

Or lets say the browser clicks on an image (with a special href?), and
I want the user to land on my picture-view-activity...

thanks,
marco

Yes, that's true.

Better yet, what about devices that just simply aren't phones?
Admittedly, I'm not aware of a non-phone with the Android Market on it
yet, but I presume it's only a matter of time.

[android-developers] Re: Petition: Google, please improve the Android Market.

[Ken H]

1. A real website

God, yes. Why is there not one?? There's Cyrket and AndroLib, but
Google should have done this first.

3. A way for developers to reply to comments

This is very frustrating to me too, but I think this is a stupid/lazy
user issue, not Google's fault. It's just as easy to email the
developer as to leave a silly, easily explained comment, but they
don't. Maybe if they put the "email developer" item under the
"comments" item?

4. App description..."Also can we please at least have clickable links
on the app description? Expecting a user to re-type a URL on a mobile
device is absurd."

The "Visit the developers web page" is clickable. I think if your
asking for clickable links "inside" your description then that may be
asking too much. I mean if you want to say more then do it on the
webpage.

5. Multiple versions of an app

Think this would be a big mistake. You may be thinking too much like a
developer and not like a common user :)
I think users would be completely confused by multiple versions of the
same app. Remember, Apple is successful because they simplify things.

6. Statistics "...what does "active" exactly mean anyway?"

An "active" install is an app that on a phone. 76% active installs
means 76% of the people who downloaded your app still have it on there
phone, 24% uninstalled it.

"Also, when a user uninstalls an app, they're asked why they did it.
Really, we'd like to know too!"

Yes, absolutely.

7. Other features?..."a way for users to easily send log files and
screenshots, to report a problem with an app"

It's called email. I'm not trying to be funny but any user that could
send that sort of thing is going to know to send it in an email.
Common users would never think or bother doing that so why make it
"easy".



But overall I think this is good idea. I think Google is a little too
slow in it's fixes/improvements.

[android-developers] Re: Layout and minsdkversion issue

[nikhil]

My problem is the app appears correctly on the simulator but messes up
on the phone if I set the minsdkversion to 5. While for 2 it appears
correctly on both, can there be any problem with compatibility mode?
Will I have to redesign it for minsdkversion 5? If yes, how should I
do it ?

[android-developers] Re: Petition: Google, please improve the Android Market.

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

When you consider what 30% is of the average app, it amounts to 30 to
60 cents. Credit card processors charge a per transaction fee that
even large users are subject to. This varies from 10 to 30 cents.
Also, the credit card companies get somewhere between 2.1% and 4% as a
transaction fee. Since the volume of sales on Android market are
extremely low, and the number of devices that aren't on carriers are
also very low, doing the math reveals that even for those devices, the
gross income from sales is probably less than the cost to account for
it.

The vast majority of transactions handled by the Android market are
for free apps with zero revenue for anyone. Who's footing the bill for
all that activity? There are servers, bandwidth, engineers, techs,
accountants and probably a small army of people involved with this
system. Who's paying for all that infrastructure?

Google provides the market app more for the convenience of the users
and developers, not a source of revenue. When you consider this, then
the money angle sort of vanishes.

I would suggest that the old saying about catching more flies with
honey than vinegar holds true. It would be better to have a petition
that has a positive note with requests for things rather than demands
and anger. Of course, that's just my opinion.

[android-developers] Developer Survey on Carrier Network APIs

[Wipro Research]

Here’s a chance to tell a major national carrier which APIs
(“enablers”) you want to see as a developer. The survey will take
about 5 minutes and all participants will have a chance to win one of
six Android smart phones.
Thanks so much for your help and your feedback!

[android-developers] Re: Nexus One: A-GPS and setup w/o carrier

[mah]

I have a Nexus One that has never had a SIM installed... I enabled its
GPS and took it outside. It took a while to get a location (as is
expected without A-GPS), but it was able to get a fix. When I walked
within range of a WiFi I attach to, Google Maps then displayed my
accurate location on a map.

Note: On this device, I've not even entered my Google account
information; I just skipped that part of the initial device power-on.

[android-developers] How to correctly use / fill an ImageView?

[Marcus]

Hi,

I want to show an image file in an ImageView widget.

Since
iv.setImageURI(Uri.fromFile(new File("filepath...")));

does not work (getting INFO/System.out(1624): resolveUri failed on bad
bitmap uri: file:///sdcard/test/photos/photo13.jpg) I tried the
following:

BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inSampleSize = 4;
if(mBitmap != null) {
  imgPhoto.setImageBitmap(mBitmap);
}

But the samplesize is static. So small pictures (like icons and so on)
are blurry. If I don't set a samplesize, the picture might get too big
(for example photos).

So how to do that?

[android-developers] looking for implementation of IAlarmManager

[Matt Calder]

Hi,

I am interested in the scheduling done by the
AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating method and so I started looking for
the implementation but I haven't been able to find anything.
Internally to AlarmManager, I can see that the actual work is being
done by an android.app.IAlarmManager interface.  After googling around
for a bit there seems to reference to an implementing class called
android.app.IAlarmManager.Stub but that is as far I get.

As sort of an offhand guess it seems that an instance of IAlarmManager
might implemented as native code and somehow becomes available to the
application at runtime.

I am working in eclipse with the 1.6 Android source code.

Thanks,
Matt

if you want to convert the files from your application you should have
lame sources.

using NDK you could integrate it with your app

do you use the focus state to change the icon in your statelistdrawable?
I do this and it works but I can't "focus, unfocus (tap background) and
refocus" the same item in a row. I can only reliably change the focus
from one item to the another.

I also opened a bugreport with sample code, but don't have a reply yet.

[android-developers] ImageView setImageURL(Uri imgUri) does not work with "android.resource//..." Uri

[qlimax]

I'm trying to do the following thing without success:

ImageView imgView=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgView);
Uri imgUri=Uri.parse("android.resource://
my.package.name/"+R.drawable.image);
imageView.setImageURI(imgUri)

I'm stuck, because the imageView just shows nothing...

how I can get an Uri (that I can use as ImageView source) from a local
resource?
which kind of Uri are accepted for the ImageView?

It would  be nice, if someone could help me.

IMHO, this topic lacks of documentation

thank you.

Lets say the user browses on the impressum and clicks on the phone

Or lets say the browser clicks on an image (with a special href?), and
I want the user to land on my picture-view-activity...

[android-developers] SQLite database question

I have a database that works fine to create a new row the first time
after I start the application, but subsequent times, data base helper
returns the same rowID and does not store a new row. It doesn't help
when leaving or returning to an activity or if I stop and start the
database. Do I need to do something to tell insert to ... insert? I
can work around by restarting the app, but there must be something
simple I'm missing.

I've used the Notepad example database as my starting point.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone give an example of how to access starred items (places) in

If there is an alternative, I'd prefer code that runs under 1.5 as well.

[android-developers] general design question

[sdphil]

for a particular activity - what is the best way to store data that
needs to be displayed.  the issue is that when the user changes
orientation, you need to be able to re-render your activity -- which
means you need to get back at that data that you use to render.

i understand the MVC design pattern, but I guess I'm wondering where
the M should be stored.

global variables?  static members of your activity?  serialized to
private storage?

[android-developers] Having content in wallpaper

[Janam]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to hold RSS feeds in the wallpaper. How
can I have the wallpaper hold/display content and not just an image?

 Is this even possible? If so, can anyone guide me to appropriate
articles/tutorials/apis.

Thank You.

[android-developers] Find/Set Value of Spinner

[Nick Owens]

Oh Holy Experts:

I know this is an easy one to start off the morning.  I haven't worked with
spinners before and I am trying to set the value of a spinner.

The only examples I can find on the first 5 pages of a Google search refer
to Spinner.setSelection().  That's great once I find out the ordinal of the
selection I need, but I don't know it yet!

The value I get is from the phone database, say "red", and I have a spinner
like so:

array_spinner = new String[5];
array_spinner[0] = "blue";
array_spinner[1] = "green";
array_spinner[2] = "red";
array_spinner[3] = "uglycolor";
array_spinner[4] = "someothercolor";

Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.res_color);
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array_spinner);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
s.setSelection(2);

So, the question is how do I get from "red" to "2"?!  There must be some
setSelectionByValue() or getSelectionIndex() function, right?

Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] Re: What does the prefix 'm' stand for ?

That was a choice made at Sun when they wrote the Java core classes,
our choice was to use a prefix. That's all. It's NOT going to change.

[android-developers] New Android Project -> Create from existing source -> Unhandled event loop exception, java.lang.StackOverflowError

[Matt Kanninen]

This work flow is causing Eclipse to give me:

Unhandled event loop exception
java.lang.StackOverflowError


Looking at the eclipse log it gives just a bit more information:

Unhandled event loop exception java.lang.StackOverflowError
org.eclipse.ui


I am running:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 1.2.1.20090918-0703 epp.package.java

I tried re downloading eclipse, re installing the ADT plugin, using a
new workspace, same problem.


I am running a Dell Studio XPS 8100 64-bit Operating system with
Windows 7 Home Premium.


I can work around this by doing File -> Import rather then File -> New.

Documentation is your friend. Spinner inherits from AdapterView, which has
the getSelectedItemPosition() function.

http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.html#getSelectedItemPosition()

Tip:
if you're using Eclipse, when you are using classes that are not your own,
type "s.get" to see a list of all getter functions available to that class.
Run through the list looking at the descriptions to see if any appear to be
what you need.

[android-developers] Re: Petition: Google, please improve the Android Market.

[strazzere]

Any android device, phone or not can have the market it on it. People
from other countries can also purchase paid applications if their
country has not yet been enabled.

This was the concept behind the "Market Enabler" and the research done
behind it. It's my understanding that the carrier that the device is
on, receives the chuck of the fees.

So throwing a T-Mobile sim card inside the Nexus One will net T-Mobile
with those fees. If you load up an Archos and use the Market Enabler,
T-Mobile might get those too, depending if you use those tmobile
"credentials" to access the market.

The market is filtered by your carrier, then your device (by software
id). That doesn't stop someone with a low software version and no
carrier from spoofing everything and having the "fee" go to someone it
theoretically shouldn't...

Since you seem to be doing dynamic geometry creation, it would be

This is correct. I have been using an unlocked phone in Australia and
my carrier (optus) does not support Market so I have no access.

Throw in my wifes SIM from the "3" network and paid apps magically
appear. Market access is controlled through the carrier named on the
SIM.

Re: [android-developers] A Widget that looks like a launcher icon?

[Mariano Kamp]

Thanks guys.

The thing is, it shouldn't look like a widget, but like an active shortcut
with a badge representing the unread count. My shortcuts to labels in Gmail
have the drawback that I always have to open them to see what's in them.

It would be great if there were a way to use common functionality to meet
the look of the particular platform, but I understand there isn't such a
functionality at the moment.

I haven't used it extensively outside -- I was curious regarding your
question and that prompted me to give it a shot ;)

That being said, my initial glance at the screen was difficult enough
that I had to shade the sun with my hand to view it properly. Hardly a
scientific data set, but I definitely noticed that.
