Good stuff Bob.. hurry up with your blog.. its empty right now. ;)

I am happy to hear that at lest someone from google has acknowledged that it
is perfectly fine to do in-app virtual goods, etc. I plan to roll that
ability into my service soon as I figure out how to handle paypal, credit
cards and google checkout.

My experience was, I published it, went to my device, located it, and
downloaded it.

But I don't know if they have a distributed infrastructure that may
impose delays before it reaches everyone. I've noticed that it can
take a while for comments I posted from the Market app to actually
appear.

I maintain a comment to (1) try to direct people to contact me for
assistance rather than post problems -- HAH! and (2) mark in the
comments where any earlier comments are for earlier versions. So I was
a bit concerned at first, but my updated comment did show up in the
right place after a while.

My comment says:
"Please send any support reuests or problem reports to us at android-
supp...@sfsmart.com. We aim to give fast, quality support. NEWLY
UPDATED! 1.0.296"
(And I'll increment the version number every time I repost the
comment).

I'm hoping this will help.

Of course, this means I absolutely cannot reply via the comments, at
least not without another phone or account and a lot of hassle.

Re: [android-developers] Re: In-App Purchasing and the Market Agreement

2010-03-26 Thread Kevin Duffey
I believe most apps are available within a few hours to a day at most.. from
what I've read anyway. Not 100% sure tho. I am a little bummed that google
hasn't made any attempt to better the market app. There is sooo much I would
do to improve it. It could be far better than the iPhone market app. I
wonder if they have a forum to post on things like the built-in apps... or
if we can gain source code to it and mess with it, test it and offer changes
to them.

Re: [android-developers] Re: In-App Purchasing and the Market Agreement

2010-03-26 Thread chris harper
That is a great idea and out of the box (which is good) building a .apk
dynamically.

The Market place does not yet have the ability to search per app (which I
agree if add on's start to come more common that will be needed). The way I
am planning on getting around that (hopefully temporarily) is that within my
app I still plan to open a page to my website where all my characters are
and they can select them from there.  Once they select a character it then
links to the .apk within the market place for that character.

I admit the downside is they can't select multiple characters for one check
out which is where you idea would be ideal. But I think its the best I can
currently do until the Market place changes.

One question I do have though. I have yet to publish an app on the Market
(this will be my first one).
How long is the process take when you submit an app to when it is available
on the market?
I really don't know. For your idea that would probably be my first question
and its not an issue with your idea but more an issue of the Market place.
Is it immediately? Or does it take a few days?

If it takes a few days you can see how it would make a user upset if they
ordered something and they have to wait days to get it.

If it is immediately than you might have given me an idea for version two of
my app (if people like version one that is).

I hope to get my first install app working with my main app by the end of
the weekend to add/remove my characters.

[android-developers] Adding iconified rows to existing ArrayAdapter

2010-03-26 Thread praj
Hi,

I am developing an application which requires me to load first twenty
rows (consisting on icons and two text fields) and if I have more rows
I need to display a button. When i click this button I want to display
more twenty rows( again iconified).

My current approach which is working is that on the button click I
create one more activity which will have the previous rows and the new
rows. In this case the curson is set to the very first row.

But I want to have something like Facebooks "Older Post" where the new
rows get appended to the old ones and the cursor is set to the last
row to which the new rows are added.

Please can anyone give me ideas on how to achieve this. That is,  how
to add rows (iconified) to the existing array adapter.

Thanks,
Prajakta.

Re: [android-developers] Re: In-App Purchasing and the Market Agreement

2010-03-26 Thread Kevin Duffey
I have a sort of twist idea to the market problem... not sure this can be
done, but I think it could be possible.

Imagine you have an app that allows for virtual goods. You have dozens of
goods for sale. Even better, you have an open-ended API that allows OTHER
developers/users to create goods for your game/app and sell them. Yay..
revenue streams are good.

Now, many users will probably buy one good here, one good there... but often
times, you'll have a lot of users who want to purchase several goods. We
surely don't want to deter the multi-goods buyer. That's more money in our
pocket. The problem with the way you're doing it Chris (not a problem as in
bad..just for this example), is that they would have to search/find/buy
individual downloads for each good they wanted.

What if your users could build up a cart full of items they want, check out
just once, and behind the scenes, your server side builds up a single .apk
with those goods, put's it out on the market, then sends them an email link
for them to access from their android device when its deployed to market. At
that time, they can then purchase the whole pack at once, through the
market, and then utilize what you are doing Chris, where your main app can
make use of all the goods from that install, and if not refunded in 48
hours... uninstall/delete the .apk off the device to avoid taking up room.

Ok, I don't know that I would implement this, but I imagine it's got to be
possible.

Re: [android-developers] Targetted updates

I am pretty sure the market is doing this filtering now.  And yes, if it
sees a newer version of an app that is pre-installed on the system image, it
will offer the user an update.  This is how updates to the maps app are
delivered.

Re: [android-developers] Intent to bring up top-most activity in task?

2010-03-26 Thread Dianne Hackborn
You use the same intent that original started the task.  Tasks started from
launcher are ACTION_MAIN, CATEGORY_LAUNCHER, with the component being the
explicit component corresponding to the icon it has shown.

You can use "adb shell dumpsys activity" to see details on the intents used
to launch each acitivity and task.

[android-developers] Targetted updates

2010-03-26 Thread John Seghers
We're preloading apps that require specific OEM-level integration. Due
to advice in an earlier discussion(http://tinyurl.com/yzpzwgd) we have
a model-specific library and our application contains the  element in the Manifest to reference this library.

In that earlier discussion Dianne stated that, at some point in the
future, the Marketplace would check for that prerequisite prior to
displaying an update as being available. I.e. that if we put updates
for two handset models (each with a different ) that
each of those handsets would see the update meant for that model, and
none others would see it at all.

I would like to know if there's any more clarity as to when this
functionality will exist in the Marketplace?

Also, do the package names of the differently-targetted applications
need to be unique?

I also wanted to clarify an assumption based on further questions
asked by others in the earlier thread: Will the Marketplace
application properly pick up that there is an update available for a
preloaded application (assuming they are both signed by the same
certificate and use the same package name).

I think I've seen this too. What I believe what you are seeing is the 
placeholders
for scrollbars. I haven't actually squashed it for sure, but you might 
try putting
a style="overflow:none" in your top level body/div/table and see if it 
goes away.

[android-developers] Intent to bring up top-most activity in task?

2010-03-26 Thread westmeadboy
If my app is already running, then either Activity1 or Activity2 might
be currently on top.

How to construct an Intent so that it will simply show whichever
Activity is already on top (in the task)? Just like if you touch an
icon in the Recent list (long-press home).

At the moment, it looks like (for explicit Intents) you need to be
explicit about the Activity to launch. But I would rather be explicit
about the app (package name).

FWIW, I'm thinking of Intents triggered via Notifications.

[android-developers] Obtaining the selected index of a spinner

2010-03-26 Thread oddgeir.kv...@gmail.com
I want to obtain the index of the selected item in a spinner.

I am aware of the method getSelectedItem() which returns the item
selected (which might be a String). But i want the index of the
selected item.

Something equivalent to the setSelection(index) to set the selected
item.

Of course I can get the selected item and compare it against the array
of items to obtain the index, but I hope there is a better way of
doing this.

Thnx.

[android-developers] onItemClick gives index/ positi on of item on visible page … not actual index of the item in list ..problem on enabling setTextFilterEnabled ..

2010-03-26 Thread Abhinav
hi,

I am creating a list .. the elements of the list are drawn from sqlite
database .. I populate the list using ArrayList and
ArrayAdapter ...upon clicking the items on the list I want to be able
to fire an intent containing info about the item clicked ... info like
the index number of the item ..

using the method : onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int index, long
arg)

I do get index of the item clicked . however it is of the list
currently displayed . the problem comes when I do
setFilterTextEnabled(true) , and on the app type in some text to to
search some item ..and then click it ..rather than giving me the index
of the item on the original list it gives me the index on filtered
list..

following is the snippet of code:
-
x--x-
myListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView av, View v, int index,
long arg) {
Intent lyricsViewIntent = new Intent(iginga.this,
LyricsPage.class);

lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("title",
songList.get((int)arg).getTitle());
lyricsViewIntent.putExtra("id",
songList.get((int)arg).getSongId());
startActivity(lyricsViewIntent);
}

[android-developers] Bind view objects to Adapter

2010-03-26 Thread christian.posta
I have searched the forum for something on this topic, and I haven't
found anything suitable for me.
I may not have been using the correct search terms, so forgive me if
it's been discussed in another
thread.

I am looking for a way to bind an entire view (made up of EditViews
and possibly check boxes for example)
to a backing cursor or data object that can manage the state (dirty/
unchanged), and bind the data to the view.
I see that Adapters are used for AdapterView to bind data to a view
such as lists and
grids, but I didn't see anything for binding an entire form of
differing views (EditViews, CheckBoxes, etc)
to a backing data object. Did I miss this?

Did I phrase my question understandably?

Thanks,
Christian

Do a lazy load in your Activity:

static boolean isInitialize = false;

onCreate(...)
{
if (!isInitialized)
initialize(this); // Sets isInitalized to true
}

Or something like that.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer Error Codes

2010-03-26 Thread brooke
I have the same question.  The error codes and "extra" values aren't
fully documented in the API Reference.  From what I can tell the
"extra" values might not be that reliable, but if I knew what all of
the error codes and warning codes meant, I could do a much better job
of handling them.

Looking forward to a reply!

Many thanks,

Often, I want to set up statics (during class initialization/loading)
in some activity based on things like package name, version code,
whether the debuggable attribute is set in the Manifest etc.

But, of course, the Context is not available at that time.

All of these values are there in the manifest, so I'm trying to find

2010-03-26 Thread Dianne Hackborn
Please look at the various service examples in ApiDemos, they cover a lot of
different ways to interact with them.

Re: [android-developers] Application as root

2010-03-26 Thread Dianne Hackborn
You can't as a third party application (in fact you can't at all without
hacking the platform or possibly running in factory test mode).  Modifying
the platform is more appropriate for android-porting.

[android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers

2010-03-26 Thread timedilation
Just called FedEx (because no reps were available for online chat -
guess they all ran away). Well, the lady told me there is a package
marked for pickup for delivery to my residence and I know I didn't
purchase anything recently. So I guess this is it. She couldn't say
who was shipping it because it has not been picked up yet - just that
a tracking number has been reserved for my address.

Keeping fingers crossed.

[android-developers] SQLite database locale, locking, and version

2010-03-26 Thread Glenn Doten
In some books and online I see these method calls being made after a
database is created:

db.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
db.setLockingEnabled(true);
db.setVersion(DB_VERSION);

Why is this done? As far as I can tell, after creating a new database,
the system adds a table named android_metadata with one field named
locale and that table has one row with the locale field set to
"en_US". Now I assume the column has that value because I am using a
U.S. phone, and if I were using a phone from a different region then
the locale field would be set appropriately. Can anyone confirm this?
I'm guessing that the setLocale method would only be useful in the
case that you install a pre-built database onto a phone and then want
to change the locale to match the phone's locale. Sound right?

The documentation for setLockingEnabled says it defaults to true so
there's no need to make that call, right?

Lastly, what's with the call to setVersion? I can't find a table that
contains this information so I've been assuming that the database file
itself stores the version number somewhere. So when I create a
database, which requires you to have already specified the version
number in the call to the SQLiteOpenHelper constructor, there's no
point in calling setVersion. Again, perhaps this method exists for the
case of installing a pre-built database to a device and you then wish
to change the database's version (though I can't think of when doing
this would make sense).

Thanks for any insight!

[android-developers] Application as root

2010-03-26 Thread manjunath
Hi,

I want to run a application as root to check one of my API
functionality. I know that Android won't permit applications with root
access i.e. setting UID = 0.  Can anyone provide a hack so that I can
run my application as root.

I saw in Process.java file that FIRST_APPLICATION_UID is set to 1
and so on. If I set it to 0 my homescreen doesn't come up.
Can anyone tell me where this security check is done.

I also want to know the actual flow for any application to run on
android.


Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: How to use 3G Connection in Android Application instead of Wi-fi?

2010-03-26 Thread Chris
Because Telcos like 3 in Australia, refuse to load their web pages
unless you connect via 3G. If you use WiFi, the page evetually just
times out. So, for instance, to check my account balance if I'm in a
WiFi area, I need to turn off the WiFi adapter to force it to go to 3G
for the page to load.

[android-developers] Problem with alternate screen sizes on OS X?

2010-03-26 Thread TRob
I'm having a problem creating an avd with an alternate screen size
(960x540 for example) and getting it to work.  When I create the avd
via the UI and set the screen size, launching the emulator never
succeeds - it hangs, shows no UI and gobbles up 90% of the CPU until
you kill the process.  The same steps work fine on the Windows SDK.
I'm currently using Android 2.1, API Level 7 when creating the avd.
Anyone else seeing this or have a workaround?

Re: [android-developers] Pulling my hair out

Can you point me to the source code for the phone app?

I have found the class I want to access, but it is an internal class
and I know the Android dev's frown on gaining access to internal
class.  The class it looks like I need to use is the the
com.android.internal.telephony.Phone class, which I don't have access
to in the normal SDK and I don't know how to access that class.

Anyone have any ideas?

[android-developers] How to reverse text / background colors

2010-03-26 Thread aDevAtanon31459Dotinfo
I want to reverse whatever text colors the user is seeing at the
moment.
For example, change white-text-on-black-background to
black-text-on-white-background.
I want this to follow whatever colors the user has selected at the
moment
of the change.
This happens to be in a TextView.

This is apparently possible, according to posts like:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4910bae94510ef77/59d4bb35e811e396?pli=1

I've tried several different techniques.
But, I can't get it to work.

Does anyone have an working example, or a pointer to a working
example ?

[android-developers] Restoring ScrollView scroll position after orientation change

2010-03-26 Thread Max
I am making an app which uses a ScrollView to display a bunch of
images. When switching to horizontal orientation the view will be
replaced with a HorizontalScrollView. I want to preseve the scroll
position after orientation change, and I tried to save the position in
onSaveInstanceState/onRestoreInstanceState. However it appears the
ScrollView is not fully rendered at onRestoreInstanceState
(scrollView.getHeight() returns 0 at this point), so calling
scrollView.scrollTo() has no effect.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

[android-developers] CometD and Android Emulator 1.5

2010-03-26 Thread AndyW
I'm having a problem with the Android Emulator and I think I figured
it out, but wanted to know if there is a way around.

I am opening up a comet/bayeux connection back to my server.  My web
site sits on port 80 and the bayeux/comet server sits on port 8080.

Using the Android emulator I can not get my web page application to
ever connect to the comet server, yet if I use the example code where
everything comes from port 8080, where it loads the HTML page and
connect to the comet server at port 8080 then it works.

I'm guessing this is a cross domain security issue, yet FireFox,
Crome, Safari, iTouch browsers all work the Android Emulator does
not.  I watch the ADB log screen and don't see any errors. I'm at a
loss of this is something I can do.

Any pointers would greatly be appreciated.

Andy

[android-developers] Question about Canvas

2010-03-26 Thread Bevor
Hello,

I'm new to android and I analyse example codes like Snake at the
moment to get a better feeling for android development. The most parts
are clear for me, but there is something I don't understand yet. In
this example there is the following code example:

public void loadTile(int key, Drawable tile) {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(mTileSize, mTileSize,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
tile.setBounds(0, 0, mTileSize, mTileSize);
tile.draw(canvas);

mTileArray[key] = bitmap;
}

So every time a loadTile is executed (this is not just once) a new
Canvas will be created. What is the sense of more than one canvas? I
thought that a canvas is some kind of layer whereon you have to draw.
But obviously they instance multiple canvases. Is my thought about
what a canvas is wrong? In my opinion I only need one canvas. I
already wrote some testcode with a thread, a bouncing ball and a
background and I have only drawn to one canvas. So why do they use
more than one canvas?

Regards..

[android-developers] Android Drm provider and forward locking

2010-03-26 Thread Rainer
This question assumes Android OS 2.0 or higher.

My application tries to use the following API

 Intent item = DrmStore.addDrmFile(getContentResolver(), file,
"amy");

Where file is a File object pointing to a downloaded OMA1 forward
locked file (“amy.dm”). This method is called from a normal activity
running under its own user id.
The method DrmStore.addDrmFile then calls

 if (contentUri != null) {
 ContentValues values = new ContentValues(3);
 values.put(DrmStore.Columns.TITLE, title);
 values.put(DrmStore.Columns.SIZE, size);
 values.put(DrmStore.Columns.MIME_TYPE, mimeType);

 Uri uri = cr.insert(contentUri, values);

This will cause DrmProvider.insert() to be called


 @Override
 public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues initialValues)
 {
 if
(getContext().checkCallingOrSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.INSTALL_DRM)
 != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
 throw new SecurityException("Requires INSTALL_DRM
permission");
 }

 long rowId;
 int match = URI_MATCHER.match(uri);
 Uri newUri = null;
 SQLiteDatabase db = mOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase();

 if (initialValues == null) {
 initialValues = new ContentValues();
 }

 switch (match) {
 case AUDIO: {
 ContentValues values = ensureFile(initialValues);

 ...

 /**
  * Ensures there is a file in the _data column of values, if one
isn't
  * present a new file is created.
  *
  * @param initialValues the values passed to insert by the caller
  * @return the new values
  */
 private ContentValues ensureFile(ContentValues initialValues) {
 try {
 File parent = getContext().getFilesDir();
 parent.mkdirs();
 File file = File.createTempFile("DRM-", ".data", parent);
 ContentValues values = new ContentValues(initialValues);
 values.put("_data", file.toString());
 return values;
} catch (IOException e) {
 Log.e(TAG, "Failed to create data file in ensureFile");
 return null;
}
 }


ensureFile() then throws an exception because it cannot create the
temp data file requested.

The same code (DrmStore.addDrmFile()) is used by the android download
manager and there it works fine. My assumption is that the reason for
that is that the download provider and the drm provider run under the
same user id.

However, when my code calls the method I get the before mentioned
exception. My theory is that the reason for this is that my activity
is running with a different user id. I have tried to make my
activities files directory world writable but that did not help.

When I create my own content provider I can observe that the content
provider is running under its own user id and getFilesDir() in the
contentprovider will return the directory of the content provider to
which it has full access. So I am really surprised why the DrmProvider
works differently.

Unfortunately I don't have the ability to debug native android OS code
so I have no means to find out what getContext().getFilesDir() inside
the DrmProvider really returns.

Since the INSTALL_DRM right is public (i.e. Does not require specific
signatures), IMHO it is legal for 3rd party apps to use this function.
Having it not working is really quite unexpected.

Any suggestions?

[android-developers] AudioRecord on Emulator with friquency > 8 kHz

2010-03-26 Thread garaus
Hello dear developers,
I'm doing a voice recording using AudioRecord class and the main
requirement that the frequency must be 16000 Hz. I'm using only
emulator in development process for now and met the problem that I
can't set frequency more than 8000, otherwise I get bufferSize == -2,
and can't create instance of AudioRecord with such buffer.
Thank you to Szabolcs Vrbos, he told me that this problem is only with
emulator and several Samsung phones, device can record with higher
frequency.

I need a word from Android engineers that I will be able to record
voice with 16000 Hz frequency on for instance HTC Hero (Android 1.5)
or similar device with os 1.5 or higher.
Thank you.

[android-developers] hey everyone - couple of things that have been bothering me

2010-03-26 Thread guywithaquestion
1.  Im trying to gain logical access to the device SDCard(Micro SD)
from a JNI layer - Native library that is interfacing with a
priviliged APK application by this piece of code:
open("/dev/block/vold/x:y",O_RDWR).
It worked under G1 and HTC Magic phone , but on Nexus one it doesnt -
i get Access Denied (errno 13)  - what can i do?

2. I was wondering if there is an option to dynamically determine if
my application will have an Icon at the programs menu - even a manual
setting change.

thanks in advance,
andrew.

[android-developers] Get unique ID of phone - Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID not working on N1?

2010-03-26 Thread Anna PS
Odd - I posted this message yesterday and got sent a copy, but it
doesn't seem to have shown up in the group... Here it is again.




This seems to be a bit of a vexed issue: see
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3f4ae5cdf792ce00

Like the person who started that thread, I need to get a unique ID for
a device, without using scary permissions for TelephonyManager. I've
tried

   id =
android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(),
android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);

but that just produces "android_id" on my phone. Anyone know a way
that works? I'm using a Nexus One and Android 2.1.

[android-developers] Webview Issue Displaying 100% Wide Pages

2010-03-26 Thread Brian
I am working on an app that uses webview for a help section.  The help
section is loaded from an external site, that is specifically designed
for mobile phones.  There are a series of 5 pages, with a simple next/
back navigation.  When the first page loads, it loads perfectly,
filling the entire area of the screen.  When you click next, the page
is now smaller with a large white gap around it (right and bottom),
when I click back to the first page, this page now is displaying the
same way (gap around it).  I have tried setting body/table/container
divs to 100% wide, and this continues to happen.  However it works
perfectly on any desktop browser.

This happens on the droid/nexus one.

It almost seems as if clicking next is resetting something in the
webview settings, but I don't know what it would be or why?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

[android-developers] Hide camera preview on augmented reality app

2010-03-26 Thread als
Hi all,

I want to develop an augmented reality application, but I'm having
some trouble in the first steps. The first I want to do is to get a
frame with the onPreviewFrame callback, process it, and then draw it
in the screen. Here I want to hide the camera preview, I mean, I don't
want to draw it, but I can't manage to do it. I've been reading some
threads where it's said that simply don't doing
"SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS" you'll fix it. In the
emulator does work, but in the real device doesn't and the program
crash.

The second question is: Is there a way to overlay a GLSurfaceView on
top of the CameraPreview before the API level 5? I've tried some
methods like GLSurfaceView.bringToFront(), but none of them works. I
would like to do it for android 1.5. Anyway I don't have (yet) a
device with 2.0 or later, and I also don't know if the
"setZOrderMediaOverlay" method really works in real devices.

Many thanks for your time.

[android-developers] Where can I report UI bugs with android 2.1 (nexus)

2010-03-26 Thread P
Sorry if I'm adding to a problem by "spamming" you guys, but I've
searched for bugs and bug reporting only to find stuff about other
peoples applications in general.

And of course it's quite hard to search for the same bug when someone
might use different terms to describe the same thing.

But as far as the UI goes, I'm experiencing a few different bugs as
follows:

1) Home screen/Navigation dots:
While on the default home screen, It sometimes shows one dot on the
left, and three dots on the right. (or vice versa). When the expected
result is 2 dots on either side. Tapping on the single dot brings me
to the proper "second" page, and the dot's then begin to work as
normal.

I can replicate this problem by navigating to a homescreen that is not
the center or default screen, open the application grid, select an
application, then press the soft home key to return to the default
screen with the dots layed out as if i was on a secondary screen.

2) Keyboard:
When typing on the virtual keypad, I would make mistakes... or so I
thought they were mistakes. (Such as hitting the voice input button)..
But I noticed that visually the "d" button which I intended to hit was
registering/hitting in the right spot, but the voice input would come
up also. This was not an issue related to touching in two places at
once. Once the error occurred, I could keep pressing the "d" button
and continue to get the voice input. Pressing backspace and starting
to type fixed that issue for the particular time.

[android-developers] Android market place crashes on receiving intent for an application that doesn't exists in marketplace

application does launches but crashes after launch.

The application com.mybrowser.android doesn't exist on the market-

[android-developers] MapView layout behaves differently depending on order?

2010-03-26 Thread Can Özmen
Hi All,

I have a TextView 30 px tall and RelativeLayout containing a MapView
plus some overlayed components that I want to display in a single
screen with no scrolling.

When I place the TextView before the RelativeLayout the MapView fills
the available vertical space correctly (i.e. 430-30=400 px) , but if I
change the order the MapView fills all the available space (i.e. 430
px on my G1) and pushes the TextView out of the visible area.

My problem is I want to place the TextView at the bottom of the screen
but not on the MapView itself.

So is there a way I can specify the order the layout engine calculates
sizes such that even if I place the TextView after the MapView, the
MapView still has a height of 400px?

Thanks,
Can.

Re: [android-developers] Problems with ViewGroup.addView()

2010-03-26 Thread Liviu Ungureanu
"Why doesn't the "Ori" text shows up?"

Because:
   TextView t = new TextView(this);
   t.setText("Ori");
   TextView t2 = new TextView(this);
   t.setText("Ori2");   // here you reset the text from TextView t
instead of TextView t2.
  // TextView t2 is empty: you don't set any
text

   LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)
findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
   layout.addView(t);
   layout.addView(t2);

As hint: Try to set LayoutParams for your TextView before adding it to
layout

Hello,
I am new to Android Development.

Lets say, i have to pass an Integer value as a command line argument
to an android application while launching it.


2) can we launch an application made using Eclipse IDE via command
line?
if yes,how?

if no, then do i have to rebuild the application using command line
tools?

[android-developers] Solution to why list item text is invisible in AlertDialog

2010-03-26 Thread shawn
I have seen several posts (which for some reason I cannot reply to)
that complain that there list item text is invisible when inside an
AlertDialog unless they select it.  I ran into this problem and wanted
to post my solution.

If you use AlertDialog.Builder.setItems with a simple string array,
then the Builder will create a ListView for you using
R.layout.select_dialog_item resource.  This creates working dialogs
with visible text.  The problem is when you try to use your own layout
resource (perhaps to get a two line list item layout) with your own
adapter with AlertDialog.Builder.setAdatper.  You might try to use
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2 like I did.  This causes the
invisible text problem.

The actual problem is simply a text color issue.
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2 uses white for the text color
which is the same color as the background of an AlertDialog, causing a
white on white situation making the text invisible.  The
R.layout.select_dialog_item layout resource used by
AlertDialog.Builder by default when using setItems specifies a text
color of android:textColor="@android:color/
primary_text_light_disable_only" which usually maps to black making
the text visible.

Therefore, to fix this problem, you need to get your text color to be
what AlertDialog would normally choose by default.  What I did was to
copy the android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2 source code xml file to
my own project so that I could edit it.  I added the setting of the
textColor with:

android:textColor="?android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverseDisableOnly"

I first tried using @android:color/primary_text_light_disable_only,
but that would not compile because it is not public to app
developers.  I scanne the android source and discovered that ?
android:attr/textColorPrimaryInverseDisableOnly maps to the exact same
thing as @android:color/primary_text_light_disable_only, so it works
great!

[android-developers] Anyone with Nexus One and Logcat? My program is crashing...

2010-03-26 Thread MadsVA
Hi,

I've developed an app that uses the camera to detect movements, but
unfortunately it crashes on Nexus One phones. I *think* it might be an
issue with the supported sizes of the preview and the snapshots, but
im not sure.
So is there anyone out there with a Nexus One who would try to run the
app and sent the stacktrace to me?

Thanks in advance :-)

[android-developers] Android Applications for Web Browsers

2010-03-26 Thread Ashish Khivesara
Hi,
I am new to Android and am currently reading the documentation. I am
trying to scope out the following.

*Porting an android application UI to Web Browsers. *
*
*
The reason here is, we plan on using android as a platform for an embedded
device and the output/renderer in this case is going to be a web browser.
Alternative approach here is to use android as a platform & application
back-end and GTW/javascript for the UI . This is possible to do.

However it surely is more viable if I could figure a way, the Andriod UI
(Activity) could be rendered on a web browser.

Any pointers would be extremely helpful.

Thanks
-Ashish

[android-developers] HttpPost abort not returning immediately when called from separate thread

2010-03-26 Thread tme
I am using a DefaultHttpClient and a ThreadSafeClientConnManager to
share the httpClient across threads. That part is working well.
However, when I execute an HttpPost in one thread, and call
httpPost.abort() from another. It does not return immediately and
continues blocking until the socket timeout is reached in most cases.
Am I missing something else?

I've tried using:

 connectionManager.closeIdleConnections(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 connectionManager.closeExpiredConnections();

But it did not help.

Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] view list of extra's for a intent

It's non-sensical to have a generic method to print out all the contents in
the extra since you can literally pack anything in there, including binary
data which is not human-readable. However, you can get the extra bundle by
calling Intent.getExtras() and call Bundle.keySet() to get the set of keys
the extra contains. They are human readable. Then you can extract the
corresponding values using the keys.
