[android-developers] Re: android Telephony API access levels
Hi i am searching the same feature (specially accepting call) from last 3 months but found nothing significant 1.Some tell to change android source code and relative permission to avail this feature.(fruitless) 2.some tell you should build your own application to accept call. Can you imagine how much low level working needed to implement this application. 3.some tell me for key injection. But android was aware of it and blocked such types of key injection. Possible in Black Berry 4. most people tell it is impossible in present version but Google might consider it in heir future release. 5. There is no way to override the existing phone application. though android says All applications are same. But i think it is not true in case android built in phone application. I m urging if any people reading this thread have any idea about it Please share as it is a long desired question On Mar 17, 1:56 pm, Venu toyv...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm also having similar kind oftarget.

The crash occurs specifically at the glBufferData() method call. If

[android-developers] Re: Application wake up
Hi SAM, As per the link that gives the sample application of handling the SMS, you registers your application to the Android OS by mentioning in the manifest file, the intended receiver on any incoming SMS message. So your application need not be active for this. The moment device receives an SMS, your application will get the notification at onReceive.

[android-developers] Re: Problem about GPS
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean, and I think it would help if you would elaborate a bit. GPS is generally wireless, since the problem of getting a cable to connect to objects in low earth orbit is still not solved. ( *_^) The connection to GPS satellites is generally a _lot_ better outside, since the signal does not penetrate buildings very well. That is a limitation of the GPS technology rather than of Android, and hence cannot be solved through software. What you can do is trying to use coarse location or wifi positioning, that might or might not be suitable for your needs.

[android-developers] Re: Game Developers: Some general questions about high scores, achievements, multi player support and in game ads.
Kevin, First of all, let me clarify some numbers: Your average EA game costs a lot more than 10s of thousands of dollars. I bet no iphone port of any game cost them less than 100k to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent 100k-500k on an iphone version of an existing title. They deal with games that go into the millions in development cost. How much does it cost to pay a staff of 25 for 9 months to develop something? Even at a modest 50k per person (which is reasonable for a junior level artist dying to make game art) you're looking at around a million dollars. That's a normal size staff and a very conservative timeline for a big title. They're also difficult to compete with because of that. It's harder for us to put together content that people won't scoff at. Just the other day I got a comment saying that one of my games looks like it took 2 weeks to make. That's after 6 months of development. How much is 6 months of your time worth? At my last job, that would be around 50k. One could say that the true cost of developing that game was then 50k. I won't recoup those costs, but I think that over the course of releasing my next few games which are far nicer than anything I've ever done before (partially due to my experience from working on past games and the new artist I work with) I think I'll get far better returns on future time invested. Also, being at the top of the market helps a ton. It can really make a game, but take, for instance, Polarbit's last few games. They got the market late and STILL nailed it (relatively speaking). It's the games themselves... They brought a handful of high quality 3D games to a platform with very few, and people took notice. People (myself included sometimes) complain about how unfair the mobile markets are. It's true to a degree, but when I see good apps and good games make breakthroughs, it reminds me that it's still really about the well executed idea getting strong word of mouth recommendations and making it. It still works that way. The problem is that as the market gets more and more apps and games, you have to make a bigger splash to get noticed, which takes more people and more time to do. It's at that point that people complain that the gold rush is over. I think that anyone who is here for a gold rush ought to just pack up there bags and head somewhere else now because I can only see those who are truly into what they do succeeding in markets like this. We'll see people succeed and act like they are lucky but they really aren't. Maybe they got some luck along the way but much of what makes people successful is a genuinely well executed, good idea. Build truly great products for an audience who actually needs or would really enjoy them and you'll do ok. On Mar 17, 10:54 pm, Kevin Duffey andjar...@gmail.com wrote: I too am interested in how developers make money off of games... and other than the usual sell for .99 or ads in the game. By this I mean, unless your game is shown on the android market near the top, how do you either avoid your game going further down the list so as to most likely never be found by most people searching? I think that's the kiss of death, as some others have written about from time to time. When iPhone first opened it's store, it was ripe for new apps to make good money. Now, it seems very few apps make good money, enough to run a business around. I am amazed at companies like EA and even smaller ones that put a few games up each year... it must cost 10s of thousands in development dollars to make those games, and at a couple bucks a pop, I wonder if they ever recoup their costs, much less profit. I see games even on Android with over 250,000 downloads, but how much of that is turned into money for the developer. At $3 a pop, some of the defense games are really good, provides hours of fun, and worth $3, but I wonder if they've actually made $750,000 with their 250,000+ downloads.. or if about 95% of that is downloads then returns a day later to avoid the costs. I am also very interested in how many end users (not developers) actually go thru the trouble of setting up an account to pay for things. I still do not understand for the life of me why google (and even iPhone) did NOT make this charge directly to the carrier bill. It's a clear way to make it super easy to get people to pay more frequently. I would actually buy $1 apps, many of them, if I could just simply be charged on my phone bill each month and not have the hassle of going thru a setup process, google checkout, etc. I am also curious from another thread posted, with regards to games being able to do their own in-game charge process.. to allow players to buy game items, gold, etc using real money... or buying game money with real money, then using that to purchase game items, etc. Has anyone actually done this... or is this completely against googles rules... and thus google would take down/ban the game from

[android-developers] Re: Accessing External Database
OK, it seems there's several things going on here.
From your URL, it looks like you can download a copy of a sqllite
database file.
If this is just static content, that you're treating as a document --
then you don't need any of what I've been talking about so far. At
this level, you have a file. You just copy it locally, perhaps to your
SD card, and then access it using Android's built-in sqllite
interfaces.
You CANNOT access directly over the network this way. Sqllite depends
on being able to manage concurrency, and update individual pages
within the database file. It cannot do these things over an HTTP
connection -- and shouldn't try to do it over any other kind of
network connection, either.
But once you have copied it to a local file, Android's sqllite should
be able to work on it directly. If you make changes, you can save it
over the network, treating it like any other docuument.
But that's not really using it as a database in the usual sense of
live shared data. It's a good approach, however, for static data, such
as historical records. For example, baseball statistics for a specific
year.
On the other hand, if you want to be able to access the data
simultaneously from multiple applications, and at least one process
somewhere is making changes, then you DO need a shared database, and
you DO want to expose it as a web service. Examples would be contacts
databases, current sales figures, stock price tickers, etc.
How I'd start, is to identify each logical kind of object, and define
URL's to refer to each of them, and to each collection of them. These
can be explicit entities in your database, or they can be the results
of queries, where the query is encoded in the URL.
Then I'd identify the data content of these, and write code to encode
each entity into this format. I'd pick either JSON or XML as a base
for my data format, just because they're readily available on most
platforms.
Then I'd define the operations on this data.
I'm afraid I've been around this stuff to have a good beginning
reference to suggest. But I will point out that the content: URIs used
by the provider interface generally follow this pattern, so you can
look at how the contacts provider has been designed.
In terms of the actual mechanics, an HTTP-based RESTful interface uses
regular HTTP connections and operations. The REST pattern is just an
effective way to use HTTP to build a web application.

What you want to do instead, is to build a web service, that exposes
the proper functionality. I'd suggest a RESTful interface (google it;
there are lots of examples and documents available), as it's more
flexible and simpler than SOAP.
You don't even want to expose yourdatabaseserver to the internet. It
should be securely behind a firewall.
And think about what happens when you want to change yourdatabase,
and you have all these applications out there, expecting to be able to
use specific SQL queries to get at the data. You cannot force users to
upgrade. You can just break, of course -- but you'll lose a lot of
customers, and a lot of them will tell other customers to stay away --
and they'd be right.
Actually, I just saw the message that says you're using Sqllite. So
you CAN'T even do it anyway, even if you wanted to. There is no
network access to Sqllite.
I'd saw sqllite isn't a good choice for a server application in any
event. I'd suggest MySQL as an alternative. To quote the sqllite
documentation:

What works best for me in most contexts is to set theproxyon the

final String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
final int proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort(); // returns
-1 if not set
if (proxyPort != -1)
{
System.setProperty(http.proxyHost, proxyHost);

With DefaultHttpClient, I do this:
client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
int proxyPort = 0;
proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort();
if (proxyPort 0) // !!!hack: this means that aproxyhas been set

On Mar 17, 5:17 am, ARB andrewrbro...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everyone, I am starting my first Android program, and I am just having trouble structuring my program appropriately (in terms of views, activities, etc...) Basically, the program is a simple multiplayer trivia game where the phone is passed from player to player for each turn. Right now, I am storing game state in an object that is accessible in all other classes of the program. I have an activity that successfully retrieves a question, displays it for the current player, and correctly verifies input. Then, how do I change it so that it is the next player's turn? I tried starting a new instance of that same activity, since it could get the new game state from the separate object, but that just causes my program to freeze. Similarly, a while loop inside my activity causes the program to loop infinitely at that spot. I'm sure I just don't quite understand how it all fits together, and I'd appreciate some help. So, to be clear, here are the important parts of my program that I have so far: StartGame - activity that allows you to set up a new game launches PlayGame activity as an intent PlayGame - activity that displays a question and verifies input as an answer. I can only launch it once and display one question. This activity is meant to be re-used to display all the questions, since it gets information on the game state (turns, current question, answer, etc...) from the Game class. Game - object that is statically available to all other parts of the program. It is a singleton, so there will only ever be one instance of it. How should I structure my program so that it can show multiple questions in succession until a certain condition is met (i.e. each player has had 4 turns, or there have been 10 total rounds, etc...)?

On Mar 18, 11:49 am, Bob Kerns r...@acm.org wrote:
OK, it seems there's several things going on here.
From your URL, it looks like you can download a copy of a
sqllitedatabasefile.
If this is just static content, that you're treating as a document --
then you don't need any of what I've been talking about so far. At
this level, you have a file. You just copy it locally, perhaps to your
SD card, and then access it using Android's built-in sqllite
interfaces.
You CANNOT access directly over the network this way. Sqllite depends
on being able to manage concurrency, and update individual pages
within thedatabasefile. It cannot do these things over an HTTP
connection -- and shouldn't try to do it over any other kind of
network connection, either.
So SQlite can't use over networks for accessing database...
I dont want to save this database file into my local folder..i want to
change the contents in the file by online..
But once you have copied it to a local file, Android's sqllite should
be able to work on it directly. If you make changes, you can save it
over the network, treating it like any other docuument.
This is not a good idea to use as a document..
But that's not really using it as adatabasein the usual sense of
live shared data. It's a good approach, however, for static data, such
as historical records. For example, baseball statistics for a specific
year.
On the other hand, if you want to be able to access the data
simultaneously from multiple applications, and at least one process
somewhere is making changes, then you DO need a shareddatabase, and
you DO want to expose it as a web service. Examples would be contacts
databases, current sales figures, stock price tickers, etc.
How to expose any database as a webservice??
If u have any example code pls provide me..because im new to android
as well as database concepts..
Thats y i dont have clear idea on this..
How I'd start, is to identify each logical kind of object, and define
URL's to refer to each of them, and to each collection of them. These
can be explicit entities in yourdatabase, or they can be the results
of queries, where the query is encoded in the URL.
Then I'd identify the data content of these, and write code to encode
each entity into this format. I'd pick either JSON or XML as a base
for my data format, just because they're readily available on most
platforms.
So for communicating database(On remote server) from our application
it is compulsory to write a driver like odbc???
Then I'd define the operations on this data.
I'm afraid I've been around this stuff to have a good beginning
reference to suggest. But I will point out that the content: URIs used
by the provider interface generally follow this pattern, so you can
look at how the contacts provider has been designed.
In terms of the actual mechanics, an HTTP-based RESTful interface uses
regular HTTP connections and operations. The REST pattern is just an
effective way to use HTTP to build a web application.

What you want to do instead, is to build a web service, that exposes
the proper functionality. I'd suggest a RESTful interface (google it;
there are lots of examples and documents available), as it's more
flexible and simpler than SOAP.

[android-developers] onFling
Hi, I am having two horizontal scroll views in my app. If I do a scroll/ fling in one view, I have to scroll/fling the other view. It does work, but it has a minor mismatch sometimes in the amount of scroll. I suspect this might be because the onFling listener callback has a float velocity, whereas the call method fling() takes an integer parameter. Any idea why is this mismatch?

[android-developers] screen flickering in GLSurfaceView
Hello, I'm using GLSurfaceView to create a simple OpenGL drawing application. Since the elements drawn in each frame must remain on screen in order to be composed into the whole drawing, I don't use gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) at the beginning of each frame. But not clearing the color buffer leads to substantial flickering. Is there any way to eliminate flickering while still not clearing the screen at the beginning of each frame?

[android-developers] Re: Manually set preferences being overwritten by a subclass of PreferenceActivity
Thanks for the reply. In answer to your questions: Are you calling commit() on the editor to actually save your preferences? Yeah, the bespoke preference screen that isn't backed by a subclass of PreferenceActivity has buttons which allow the user to persist their preference changes. The codes updates the preference and calls commit(). Are you sure both Activities are using the same SharedPreferences object (the default global one)? The bespoke one is using a call to getSharedPreferences and passing in a name for the preferences that is unique to my application. This has been working fine for a long time and has only had problems when introducing another preference screen that is backed by a subclass of PreferenceActivity. What do you mean overwritten? What I mean is that any preference that I store using the bespoke preference screen is persisted fine. But after I change a preference from the screen that is backed by an Activity that extends PreferenceActivity, the value that I set originally in my bespoke screen is no longer there. Are you using the same keys to store different things in both activities? Nope. Are the first set of values being set to default? Nope. What happens if you use the PreferenceActivity first and then your custom one? Does that overwrite the PreferenceActivity settings? Good question. I will try that a little later and see what happens. Its really quite odd and I need to do a little more testing to try to determine the precise cause of the problem.

[android-developers] Re: screen flickering in GLSurfaceView
The problem is that there's actually to targets you render to, the back and the frontbuffer of the OpenGL surface. In each call to Renderer.onDrawFrame() you actually render to the back buffer while the front buffer is presented on screen. Once you leave the onDrawFrame method the back buffer becomes the new front buffer and is presented on screen, while the former front buffer becomes the new back buffer. This is called double buffering and is actually used to reduce another form of flickering which is related to screen refresh rates. What happens in your case is the following (as far as i can tell). In the first onDrawFrame() call you render some elements to the initially black back buffer. The front buffer is also black. Now you leave onDrawFrame() and the back buffer gets presented while the front buffer becomes your new back buffer. But the new back buffer does not contain the elements you just rendered! So you render your new elements to a completely black back buffer this time so the final image is not a composition of the first onDrawFrame and the second one. As the buffers are constantly swaped they never have the same content as half of the elements is in one buffer and the others are in the other buffer. There might be a way to disable double buffering in the GLSurfaceView if you use that. Otherwise you will need to use EGL directly to setup your OpenGL surface without double buffering. On the other hand i wonder why you don't compose your complete scene in a single onDrawFrame call.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Game Developers: Some general questions about high scores, achievements, multi player support and in game ads.
I agree full heartedly Robert. I can't imagine EA spending a few hundred grand on a game for mobile, knowing that they likely won't recoup the costs.. unless it's just a brand recognition thing and an exepected loss. I am well aware of the costs for large scale games, have a few friends in the business working for EA, Blizzard, etc. I've wanted to break into the gaming business for a looong time. I am just not so good with all that extensive math involved in the bigger games. That is why kits like Rokon are really interesting to me, might give me a chance to build some decent games and focus less on the stuff I don't know much about and more on the game itself. I hope anyway. Couple other kits were mentioned in a different thread that sound promising. I am looking to just learn, have some fun, and possibly make a little money, but not holding my breath to do so. My kids are always telling me about this pokemon like fantasy world they've invented, thought it would be really fun to do something like that for them so they could show their friends. I don't know if Android has enough of any one type of game or app to be over that hill where you absolutely must be at the top to succeed.. there is only room for a few there and it would seem to me that the chances your app will make it are so slim, it's not worth the effort. Hence, making games or apps for yourself or in your spare time are a better effort to me than trying to make a living. I can see where contracting out to do apps for specific companies, like banks, warehouses, etc could be profitable tho... although I have no clue how to market myself to get such gigs. lol. It is pretty impressive how one developer can write a game, the aI, collision detection, physics, music/sound fx, and more in a couple months time tho. I commend you and the others that can do that. I am stuck on how to do graphics as well. I can't pay anyone to do art, so I think I am going to have to digitize stick figures.

I bet no iphone port of any game cost them less than 100k to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent 100k-500k on an iphone version of an existing title. They deal with games that go into the millions in development cost. How much does it cost to pay a staff of 25 for 9 months to develop something? Even at a modest 50k per person (which is reasonable for a junior level artist dying to make game art) you're looking at around a million dollars. That's a normal size staff and a very conservative timeline for a big title. They're also difficult to compete with because of that. It's harder for us to put together content that people won't scoff at. Just the other day I got a comment saying that one of my games looks like it took 2 weeks to make. That's after 6 months of development. How much is 6 months of your time worth? At my last job, that would be around 50k. One could say that the true cost of developing that game was then 50k. I won't recoup those costs, but I think that over the course of releasing my next few games which are far nicer than anything I've ever done before (partially due to my experience from working on past games and the new artist I work with) I think I'll get far better returns on future time invested. Also, being at the top of the market helps a ton. It can really make a game, but take, for instance, Polarbit's last few games. They got the market late and STILL nailed it (relatively speaking). It's the games themselves... They brought a handful of high quality 3D games to a platform with very few, and people took notice. People (myself included sometimes) complain about how unfair the mobile markets are. It's true to a degree, but when I see good apps and good games make breakthroughs, it reminds me that it's still really about the well executed idea getting strong word of mouth recommendations and making it. It still works that way. The problem is that as the market gets more and more apps and games, you have to make a bigger splash to get noticed, which takes more people and more time to do. It's at that point that people complain that the gold rush is over. I think that anyone who is here for a gold rush ought to just pack up there bags and head somewhere else now because I can only see those who are truly into what they do succeeding in markets like this. We'll see people succeed and act like they are lucky but they really aren't. Maybe they got some luck along the way but much of what makes people successful is a genuinely well executed, good idea. Build truly great products for an audience who actually needs or would really enjoy them and you'll do ok.

[android-developers] How to show a ScrollView with button anchored to bottom of screen?
Hello,
I'm trying to show a ScrollView with a button anchored to bottom of
screen. This is coded programmatically (without using XML layout for
now).
The trouble is when the ScrollView has many items (requiring
scrolling), it prevents the button at the bottom from showing. The
bottom button is sort of pushed off the screen.
Look at the code below. I have a TODO which mentions a workaround to
specify the exact pixel height of the ScrollView, but this is not a
good solution. If you change the for loop to add only 2 buttons, then
the bottom button will show.
So how do I make the ScrollView show a scrolling list, with the bottom
button in view, and without specifying an exact size of the
ScrollView? I've seen some discussions here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/fe2862a135b46f7f/bae38e8cf012e06a?lnk=gstq=add+button+below+scrollview#bae38e8cf012e06a

You say thatsettingtheproxyworked until Android 1.6 -- can you use

Here are some ways to use theemulatorbehind aproxy-- not sure
which of these you've tried.
1. Set the defaultproxyfrom Windows Preferences Android

2. Add '-http-proxyhttp://www.example.com:80'toDebugConfigurations

3. Set theproxyon theemulatorfrom Settings Wireless controls

For me, none of these works on its own -- though a colleague tells me
that 2. works on his Mac.
What works best for me in most contexts is to set theproxyon the
emulator(as per 3.) and then use the following in my code:
final String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
final int proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort(); // returns
-1 if not set
if (proxyPort != -1)
{
System.setProperty(http.proxyHost, proxyHost);
System.setProperty(http.proxyPort,
Integer.toString(proxyPort));
}
With DefaultHttpClient, I do this:
client = new DefaultHttpClient();
String proxyHost = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultHost();
int proxyPort = 0;
proxyPort = android.net.Proxy.getDefaultPort();
if (proxyPort 0) // !!!hack: this means that aproxyhas been set
{
HttpHostproxy= new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort);
client.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY,
proxy);
} else {
Log.d(Proxycould not be set for port: ,

[android-developers] ADEProxy.exe and adb server out of date?
I have a process running called ADEProxy.exe - it runs automatically upon windows startup, and I think it is the core reason that I keep repeatedly getting the error: adb server is out of date. killing... Can someone tell me why this adb server is out of date. killing... error occurs, how I can stop it for good, and why I have a service/ process that starts up automatically when windows starts? It is so odd to me, because the SDK simply gets unzipped, not installed, so how would I get a service that automatically starts? I am afraid that the root issue is that I have more than one SDK installed (out of necessity - a custom device that I am developing for has a custom SDK) and there are conflicts somehow.

[android-developers] Brand New Troubles Building on Mac OSX
I just got a new computer, a Mac-mini, and I'm working on getting my Android development going on the new machine. I'm migrating from Vista, where my application currently runs correctly. It does not build correctly on OSX. I can create a new project, like HelloAndroid from the samples and run it. When I tried to do this with my real project, first I got an error saying that my project overlapped an existing project of the same name (pretty funny on a brand new computer with almost nothing on it and surely no other Eclipse projects with my project's name). I fixed that by moving things around, but the software still won't build. I've seen this problem before, but can't remember what I did to fix it then. Basically, it's complaining about @Override, in functions that override existing system classes. And example is in my adapter, derived from BaseAdapter, it complains about getCount() and getItem(int pos) and more, saying The method getCount() must override a superclass method I've got 5 out of 10 files that won't compile for similar reasons. One implements OnClickListener, but Eclipse complains about the @Override on the onClick() function. I repeat: this code compiles and runs on Windows Vista.

[android-developers] need suggestion on how to create views at run time and efficiently
Hi,
I have a case where I have add to listview textview based on no of messages.
1)
I am doing like this
for(int i=0;i10;i++)
{
TextView tv=new TextView(context);
linearlayout.add(tv);
}
this seems fine but it seems to be very slow especially where there are lot
of messages.
2)
I also tried inflating a xml where xml file contains just the textview
xml file is
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:id=@+id/text_favmsg_botg_msg
android:paddingTop=10px android:paddingBottom=10px
android:paddingLeft=15px android:paddingRight=15px
android:layout_width=315px android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:background=@drawable/textview_background
/TextView
for(int i=0;i10;i++)
{
View v= mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.fav, null, false);
TextView mTextMessage=(TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.text);
mMessageLayout.addView(mTextMessage);
}
this seems fine little bit faster
I really like to know is there a better way to do than this way. is there a
way to clone a textview and reuse it rather than inflating every time
Thanks in advance for your help.

[android-developers] BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast sent much later on some devices than others
One of my applications relies heavily on a speedy BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast action. The original devices I designed it on, and the emulator, each send BOOT_COMPLETED before the lock screen even appears. I designed my app with this assumption. As the months go by I received a few comments such as Doesn't work, which I attributed to the typical ignorant Market comment. I've come to find out that on some devices this intent is not sent for almost 5 minutes after the lock screen appears! I can understand why this was done, to give priority to their own apps at boot time, and to speed up boot time, but it certainly makes it difficult to advertise an app in a consistent way. At this point I have dozens of asterisks: *You can do this amazing feature on every phone except phone X; *You'll have to wai*AVERAGE USER STOPPED READING*. I guess typing this out has helped. I could probably look to see if the system sends another popular broadcast even before this one. Still, more fiddling around than necessary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] How to Create a List with Overlapping Items
Hello, I'm trying to create a list with items that overlap. It should look something like this: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dk3w58n_18dv34mcs6 Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to achieve this? Things I've tried or considered so far: 1) Using negative margins. The items just end up getting chopped in this case. 2) Using 2 ListViews on top of one another. This works visually, but the second list is not pressable. Both lists need to be pressable for my purposes. 3) Overlaying the smaller items as a separate layout (similar to #2 but not a ListView). The smaller items need to scroll as if they are part of the list, so I don't think this will work either.

Re: [android-developers] Receive Binary SMS on a specific port?
Listen to android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED instead of android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED. This will give you all data SMS messages. Now you have to parse the destination port out of the raw PDU to determine if the SMS was for the specific port that you are interested in (there's a method for doing that but that's not in the public API for some reason so for now, you have to manually parse the PDU) Tauno On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 6:04 PM, timo prill timo.pr...@googlemail.com wrote: hey there, is it possible to receive a binary SMS on a specific port? i am currently receiving SMS via Action: android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED from a BroadcastReceiver.

[android-developers] Re: Game Developers: Some general questions about high scores, achievements, multi player support and in game ads.
Thank you for the compliment. I was intimidated by the math at first but it keeps getting easier and easier the more I do. I've also met people like Mario Zechner who is very knowledgeable and helpful. Just yesterday I was writing something and it wasn't working right. We talked, he mentioned a different way to do it, I changed my code and it worked perfectly. My point is, just having people to talk to that are doing the same thing as you is a really great thing and helps a lot in keeping moving along. Also there are books that clearly outline just about everything you could ever need to know: Real Time Collision Detection (Christer Ericson) is the most comprehensive suite of code examples I've seen. A must-have for any game dev. Programming Game AI by Example (Mat Buckland) is a really good overview of how to design effective AI Game Physics Engine Development (Ian Millington) has everything you could ever want for writing a 2d or 3d physics game 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development (Feltcher Dunn et al) is great at teaching 3D math concepts (better than math for 3d game programming and computer graphics IMO) OpenGL Superbible (blue book) contains a huge coverage of how to program for GL. There are also different colored books that are basically the authority on any other GL-related topic. The thing is, people think that using an engine means they don't have to learn certain things, like low-level rendering and math. The fact of the matter is that games are math and it is just inherent in them. It's like saying you don't need to know basic geometry as an architect because you can just use Autocad to do your dirty work. Clearly that won't work, you'll need to be able to make calculated designs. No engine does absolutely everything you want out of the box. To add a unique feature to a game, you'll need to know how to write that exact code, and chances are that if it does anything cool at all, there will be some math involved. Fortunately, if you have the right resources (people, books, pen, paper and a calculator) you'll be able to figure it out and get it working correctly :) I say just dive in head first. Learn as you need to. I think that's what lots of us have done. As far as art goes - I've only found one way to deal with that. Find a good artist! I'm working with a guy who was willing to partner up for a percentage of the game's revenue. He's turned out to be a great 3D artist and so it really worked out well. Everyone involved in making a game needs to have passion to do it. It's hard and takes a lot of time and patience. I think it's awesome that you are thinking about doing it. Feel free to email me with questions along the way. Also, check and see if there is an IGDA chapter in your area. That's where I met several very talented people. We have a meeting tonight, in fact! On Mar 18, 9:40 am, Kevin Duffey andjar...@gmail.com wrote: I agree full heartedly Robert. I can't imagine EA spending a few hundred grand on a game for mobile, knowing that they likely won't recoup the costs.. unless it's just a brand recognition thing and an exepected loss. I am well aware of the costs for large scale games, have a few friends in the business working for EA, Blizzard, etc. I've wanted to break into the gaming business for a looong time. I am just not so good with all that extensive math involved in the bigger games. That is why kits like Rokon are really interesting to me, might give me a chance to build some decent games and focus less on the stuff I don't know much about and more on the game itself. I hope anyway. Couple other kits were mentioned in a different thread that sound promising. I am looking to just learn, have some fun, and possibly make a little money, but not holding my breath to do so. My kids are always telling me about this pokemon like fantasy world they've invented, thought it would be really fun to do something like that for them so they could show their friends. I don't know if Android has enough of any one type of game or app to be over that hill where you absolutely must be at the top to succeed.. there is only room for a few there and it would seem to me that the chances your app will make it are so slim, it's not worth the effort. Hence, making games or apps for yourself or in your spare time are a better effort to me than trying to make a living. I can see where contracting out to do apps for specific companies, like banks, warehouses, etc could be profitable tho... although I have no clue how to market myself to get such gigs. lol. It is pretty impressive how one developer can write a game, the aI, collision detection, physics, music/sound fx, and more in a couple months time tho. I commend you and the others that can do that. I am stuck on how to do graphics as well. I can't pay anyone to do art, so I think I am going to have to digitize stick figures. On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 11:41 PM, Robert Green
[android-developers] Filter in ExpandableListView
Hi,
I have an ExpandableListView with several groups and each group
contains several children. I want to make this list searchable, just
like a regular list view. I have a SimpleCursorTreeAdapter (mAdapter)
for this expandlable list.
I tried to use the built in list filter using:
mSearchBox.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int
count,
int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
int count) {
mAdapter.getFilter().filter(s);
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
The above code does not work for filtering.
Any idea on how can I implement the search/filter functionality?
Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Application wake up
Hi Sam,
I think you should create a service for that!!! You can use Intent for SMS
in following way
public class RespToSMS extends IntentReceiver {
/* package name for Intent */
static final String ACTION =
android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED;
public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)) {
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
SmsMessage[] messages =
Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent);
for (int i = 0; i lt; messages.length; i++) {
SmsMessage message = messages[i];
buf.append(message.getDisplayMessageBody());
/* Check your SMS format and respond here... */
}
}
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)
context.getSystemService(
Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notifyWithText(123, buf.toString(),
NotificationManager.LENGTH_LONG, null);
}
}
}
Thanks,

may be a SMS in a particular format OR some notification(eg app
directed notification from server), android OS will start my
application.
Its possible in Windows Mobile and BREW.
Please let me know if its possible in Android and how.
Thanks
Sam

[android-developers] Mute Microphone
Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, very happy to be here! I'm also relatively new
to Android development and have been reading and playing with the
development environment. I've been able to have moderate success but
have recently come across something that has stumped mehoping
someone can help.
I'm going to be writing an app that utilizes the muting of the phone's
microphone during a call, but I'm unable to get the code to work for
muting the microphone. I have the following code:
public AudioManager mgr;
mgr = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
public void MuteMicrophone(){
if (mgr.isMicrophoneMute()){
mgr.setMicrophoneMute(false);
txtMessage.setText(UNMUTE!);
}
else{
mgr.setMicrophoneMute(true);
txtMessage.setText(MUTE!);
}
There are 2 problems with the MuteMicrophone subroutine, probably
related to each other:
- every time the MuteMicrophone subroutine is called, it is going
to the else clause...it seems that mgr.isMicrophoneMute is always
returning TRUE.
- mgr.setMicrophoneMute(true) is not working
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I know that some of the phone's
functionalities require the developer to put a permission line in the
Manifest file.is that what I'm missing?
Thank you very much for any help, and I look very forward to
contributing to the forum!

[android-developers] adb logcat skips log messages
I've am writing an app that has a major component in C++. In order to aid debugging I tend to write a lot of data to the logs from C++ (and a minimal amount from Java). The logs are written out using NDK logging facilities and also written to files on the device. It seems that, at least under high logging load, when I run adb logcat from the command line that it skips log messages randomly. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is this to be expected? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: SD Card File I/O
Also, you will need uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / in your
manifest, if you are using Android 1.6 and beyond.

I think openFileOutput() method is used to write to applications
private data ( not the SD card )
So your application will be searching for a folder /sdcard/ inside
your applications folder /data/...path to your application/
In order to write file you have to use FileOutputStream.

Hi:
I have the following code in my application. When loaded into the
phone, I get File Open Exception. Any idea what I may be doing
wrong? I suspect some issue with permissions or something but I'm not
sure.
= code snippet
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = this.openFileOutput(/sdcard/demo.txt,
MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
try {
fos.write(Appended.getBytes());
fos.close();

[android-developers] I am not able to update contact on android 2.1 emulator
Hi, I have written an application and added 2 contacts on emulator, but i am not able to update their names on android 2.1, code is working on android 1.6 platform with the following code. ContentValues contactValues = new ContentValues(); contactValues.put(Contacts.People.NAME, firstName+ +lastName); getContentResolver().update(UpdateContactUri, contactValues, null, null); In android 1.6 i am getting Uri for those two contacts are content:// contacts/people/1 and content://contacts/people/2. but in 2.1 I am getting these values are content://contacts/people/8 and content://contacts/people/9 and while updating its giving java.IllegalArgumentException, Empty values exception. When i tried to put a static Uri like content://contacts/people/1, code was debugged sucessfully but contact was not updated. How can i resolve it, why i am not getting uri like 1.6 platform ?

[android-developers] Application taking over Phone app call
Hello all, I have a task at sight but need some expert help: is it possible to place a phone call within an Activity without bringing up the native Phone app? I need to place a call from the app I am developing, so what I would like to do is to pass a phone number through an Activity that may or may not bring the Phone app up to screen. Any ideas?
