So help clarify something to me if you ad guys don't mind.. if you just
display an ad.. do you get paid? Or does a user have to click on the ad for
you to make any money? If it's both.. I am guessing you get more money when
they click on the ad?

What measures are in place to avoid "bots" from simulating users looking at
ads?

[android-developers] Sending email with attachment does not include the attachment

Hi,

I never got this to work on a real device, got the email but no
attachment, when installing K9 on a emulator and
then sending the email I see the mail in the outbox with a size of 0
bytes:


public static void sendFile(Context context) {
File exportDir = new 
File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"file.csv");
if (!exportDir.exists()) {
exportDir.mkdirs();
}
String csvFile = exportDir + "/file.csv";
File file = new File(csvFile);
if(file.exists()) {
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "CSV file");
sendIntent.setType("text/csv");
//
sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,

Thanks to all. I also have generally been sticking with the pattern

And thanks to Bob Kerns for submitting that issue. I hadn't realized
that there was no known contract for this. I hadn't found such a

[android-developers] Problem with Intent.

2010-04-01 Thread thetuxracer

Hi,
I have two unrelated questions:
1. I have this code, where I use putExtra(), and create an intent, and
use getExtra() in the new intent. This happens on a menu press.
But when I use the menus repeatedly, a lot of intents are created. and
pressing the back button of emulator cycles through all the intents.
Is there any way to limit my program between the intents I have
created? or is there any function I need to use?

2. Is there anyway to create this, on a MapView?

[android-developers] Re: Notification manager question

2010-04-01 Thread guru

Hi TreKing/Mark,

In my scenario, after completion of one notification, another
notification should start

updateCompletedNotification {--1


notificationmgr.nofify(120,intent);
}


updateIncomingFileConfirmNotification { --2


notificationmgr.nofify(120,intent);
}

after 2nd function notiifes, then 1st function should start... how
this can be handled? can I use same ID 120 for both functions?

if i update number field, it is not updating the status bar

Here they are using cursors to access and primary key of database as
notification ID... so i have to use only one in my case...

1. Well, if you are executing the same piece of code everytime, the
code will get executed. :)
Can you please explain a bit in detail what you want to achieve.

2. You can create Overlays on a MapView to create this kind of effect.
Search for some tutorials on Map Overlays.

Add some logging statements to confirm whether you are actually getting
a GPS fix, as you may not get an actual forecast unless you are in the
United States.

If that is not your problem, then your device may be broken. The code in
question has been used extensively and is known to work.

You have two choices that I can see:

1. Use integer primary key autoincrement and deal with the fact that you
have two distinct primary keys

2. Do not use CursorAdapter or its subclasses, but create your own
Adapter that uses your own primary key

This depends on the ad company.  With Greystripe you get money for every ad
viewed regardless of clicking.  With most other ad companies (AdMob,
Mobclix, Google, etc.) they have the more traditional approach of you only
get paid for clicks.  Payout per click and, with Greystripe, depends on many
factors including how many ads did it show before a user clicked, cost of
the ad campaign, etc.  No ad company will ever go into the details of this.

Again, no ad company will divulge the details of how to trick the system.
 But, they do have mechanisms in place to find this and in most cases
suspend your account if fraud is found.  Best case is to play nice and to
never, never, never, never you yourself click on ads in your own
applications.

By logging i can find that LocationListener() not called.

So is there any issue in that.

[android-developers] enable LOG for native WebKit

2010-04-01 Thread allstars

hi
recently i tried to see logs in native WebKit
but in the end found nothing in ddms

finally i found the cause is that
in WebCore/config.h , it includes 
which defines LOG macro

therefore the LOG{VDIEW} macro will be redirected to WTFLog
instead of android_log

try to do #undef LOG before you including "utils/Log.h" or "cutils/
log.h"

and try not to include them before including "config.h"

I can't speak specifically to the droid (I haven't turned mine on yet,
hoping to swap it for an N1) but the way the google io devices worked was
basically that - they "just worked" for a month, and then you had to set up
an actual plan.

ISTR t-mobile actually left it on an extra few days for people, although I
don't know if they sent any reminder sms's or anything.

[android-developers] Setting size of image in Gallery widget from xml

2010-04-01 Thread Geefer

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set the size of the images in a Gallery view
from an xml file rather than setting in java using:
imageView.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(120, 120));

I have tried inflating the imageView from an xml file (with
layout_height=120 etc.) in the adapter getView method but this does
not appear to work.

Thanks, Paul

I'm confused on what you're asking and what you're trying to do but 

1 - You create a Notification object with all the properties you want to
show up in the notification area (title, subtitle, flags, intent to launch,
(if any) when clicked, etc.) This is where you set the number that should
show up overlayed on the notification when the notification window is
collapsed.

2 - You call NotificationManager.notify() with the Notification object you
created with a specific ID. This ID tells the system to either create a new
item in the notification window or update an existing one with the same ID.
If you update an existing one (by passing ID 120 as in your example) the
properties, including the number, should update to reflect the new
Notification.

Hope that helps some.

Thanks.  Mine works now.

There was no 3G icon.  I first tried the airplane mode and turned off
wifi.  After turning off airplane mode, there was a warning sign
saying "lost data connectivity ...leaving home network".  Then I
enabled data roaming. 3G is working now.  :-)

Just one more questions.  There is always an empty triangle icon (or
symbol "Delta") in the status bar.  Does your phone have it? What does
it mean?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Google Checkout or Paypal Integration into Android using its Web Services?

Right.. but are they RESTful apis that can be used... or are they android
SDK (or java sdk) that you have to download and include in your app to work?
I'd personally rather have a complete RESTful api to use over an SDK
implementation.. RESTful api makes my code much more lightweight, and I can
use just the calls I want.

Re: [android-developers] Making money through advertising in an Android Application

Yes.. many people are making money, although not nearly as much as iPhone
developers right now. Some make ok money, some just a little bit. AdMob,
Greystripe and others allow in-app ads that will produce money. We've
recently discussed and finally were filled in that you can also have your
own virtual goods payment in your own app. So if you're willing to do the
leg work, you can provide in-app goods, that players can buy (if they are
willing to) as well and make money that way.

[android-developers] AlarmManager - Listening to Alarms set/cancel method

2010-04-01 Thread Kumaravel Kandasami

Hi

I am designing an app that would  listen to alarms being set/cancelled on
the phone (
android.app.AlarmManager) based on that event occurance, would do some
specific set of operations.

At this point, I am not sure how to listen to the AlarmManager operations
being invoked(specifically set*() & cancel() operations),
do my app need to listen for any "PendingIntent"
(android.app.PendingIntent).
 Any thoughts or suggestions around this is very much appreciated.

Thank You.

You do not listen for those operations.

You define the PendingIntent, and you need to arrange to respond to the
Intent that is raised. Usually, you will create a broadcast
PendingIntent and so need to watch for your Intent to be broadcast.

Here is a sample project demonstrating the technique, from a receiver
registered to get control at boot time:

[android-developers] Re: conditional compilation

2010-04-01 Thread Bob Kerns

My first response was to say "OF COURSE YOU CAN!" -- but then I
realized you must be talking about including or excluding data
members, rather than the actual data.

All I can say is, if you're doing that in C++, you're doing it wrong,
and you should read up on object-oriented design patterns.

C++ goes out of its way to make #ifdef unnecessary. But a lot of C++
programmers come from a C background, or read a lot of C in the
process of learning C++, that they never learn to properly use it. It
doesn't help that the language is insanely complicated, and it takes a
LOT of time and effort to become really proficient.

Adding or not adding fields and methods to classes should be handled
through subclassing and/or interfaces. And you should consider
refactoring into collaborations of separate objects, rather than large
flat classes.

Guy Steele, the author of the Java standard, cowrote a popular book on
C, and was a key member of Tartan Laboratories, which created
optimizing C compilers for a wide range of platforms. James Gossling
had a huge amount of C experience as well, implementing Gossling
Emacs, and of course, Java. Hell, Guy used to write maintain a huge
amount of ITS PDP-10 macro assembler, code that I also worked on as
part of the same group at MIT, so I can say with absolute certainty --
the designers of the Java language and its standard are VERY aware of
conditional compilation, and the reasons it is not in the language are
to make it a better language.

I can also speak from my own personal experience. It's hard to
quantify my C/C++ experience, but it goes back to the 1970's, long
before there was even a dream of C++, and Java since relatively soon
after it came out in 1995. I've mentored a lot of people both in C++
and Java. I've also participated in language standardization efforts,
maintained and written compilers and language runtimes.

Now, all that constitutes "argument by authority", and proves nothing,
of course.  But I'm not trying to get you to switch off your mind and
just believe what I'm telling you. On the contrary -- when there's a
consensus of experts, you should poke around, kick the tires, explore,
try things, look for counter-examples, etc.

One of the best type of counter-example is "X is a real gain of time",
as you put it. My guess is that it's a gain of time for you because
you're not familiar with other techniques, but if you'd like to post a
more concrete example, we can discuss it and alternatives.

I won't waste your time with examples of how conditional compilation
can waste your time, as the solution is generally "don't use it that
way".

But I'm generally in favor of things that save you time. Sometimes,
even things that save you time up front but cost you more time later.

[android-developers] onSignalStrengthsChanged bug?

I have an app for measuring a lot of phone stats including signal
strength, and it works fine. I'm using the new
onSignalStrengthsChanged method in Eclair (the old
onSignalStrengthChanged was depracated in v2.0.1) and I've updated my
app to include a service to continue recording that rssi value after
you've exited the app (mostly to save the battery, but also for
monitoring the phone state while making calls, etc.)

Anyway, I've tested the service out on my way to work and notice that
if I let the phone go to sleep (hit the power button and the screen
goes off) the signal strength value does not change -- it continues to
hold the value it had when the phone went to sleep. I know the
PhoneStateListener is working because I'm seeing updates for the
cellID which comes from the onCellLocationChanged method in the
PhoneStateListener.

This services works as expected if I keep the phone awake by using
Google Maps or just tapping the screen periodically while at the
desktop -- in other words not letting the phone fall asleep. When I do
that the data collected shows the cellID being updated *and* the
signal strength changing as I drive.

I know not a lot of people do this sort of thing (RF stuff), but has
anybody else seen this? Is this a bug?

[android-developers] Re: Writing Current Time

Just pulling stuff outta my code...

/* create a date format object that you like */
SimpleDateFormat tsFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM 
HH:mm:ss");

/* get the time */
Calendar timeStamp = Calendar.getInstance();

/* convert that time to a string */
String ts = tsFormat.format(timeStamp.getTime());

That's it. Using this method you would end up with a string that looks
like this:

"1 Apr 2010 07:41:10"

Remember, most of this junk is just Java. There are gobs of
'cookbooks' out on the web for this sort of thing.

Well, I thought that until recently. I'm in the Google AdSense for
Mobile Application beta.

Actually, AdSense pays for both impressions and clicks. They don't
break this out in the
reporting, at least that I can tell, though from my observations it
looks as though much more
of my revenue is generated by clicks, rather than impressions.

Yes, the whole process is very opaque.

As far as advice, mine would be to experiment, try different ad
placements.

When I started out, I was serving ads in pop-ups between rounds. My
revenue was good, but
very quickly tapered off. I think people initially looked at the ads,
but very quickly habituated to
just clicking the window away. So I switched to a persistent banner ad
at the top of particular screens.
That has yielded better sustained results, although click-rates did
still taper off.

You have to be careful about attributing better performance to simply
switching ad providers. There is
a novelty effect. There's a whole new batch of ads being served by the
new provider when you switch,
but your results could quickly taper off if they keep serving the same
ads over an extended period of time.

Performance is also difficult to judge since, unlike websites, when we
update an app the effect is not instantaneous.
New users will have the updated version, but current users might be
slow to download the update (or not update at all).
I normally give at least a few days for an update to trickle through
the user base.

Re: [android-developers] Re: conditional compilation

2010-04-01 Thread Frank Weiss

A concrete example from the OP would help. I can think of cases where
conditional compilation (as done in C/C++) is and is not needed in Java.

On Apr 1, 2010 9:28 AM, "Bob Kerns"  wrote:

My first response was to say "OF COURSE YOU CAN!" -- but then I
realized you must be talking about including or excluding data
members, rather than the actual data.

All I can say is, if you're doing that in C++, you're doing it wrong,
and you should read up on object-oriented design patterns.

C++ goes out of its way to make #ifdef unnecessary. But a lot of C++
programmers come from a C background, or read a lot of C in the
process of learning C++, that they never learn to properly use it. It
doesn't help that the language is insanely complicated, and it takes a
LOT of time and effort to become really proficient.

Adding or not adding fields and methods to classes should be handled
through subclassing and/or interfaces. And you should consider
refactoring into collaborations of separate objects, rather than large
flat classes.

Guy Steele, the author of the Java standard, cowrote a popular book on
C, and was a key member of Tartan Laboratories, which created
optimizing C compilers for a wide range of platforms. James Gossling
had a huge amount of C experience as well, implementing Gossling
Emacs, and of course, Java. Hell, Guy used to write maintain a huge
amount of ITS PDP-10 macro assembler, code that I also worked on as
part of the same group at MIT, so I can say with absolute certainty --
the designers of the Java language and its standard are VERY aware of
conditional compilation, and the reasons it is not in the language are
to make it a better language.

I can also speak from my own personal experience. It's hard to
quantify my C/C++ experience, but it goes back to the 1970's, long
before there was even a dream of C++, and Java since relatively soon
after it came out in 1995. I've mentored a lot of people both in C++
and Java. I've also participated in language standardization efforts,
maintained and written compilers and language runtimes.

Now, all that constitutes "argument by authority", and proves nothing,
of course.  But I'm not trying to get you to switch off your mind and
just believe what I'm telling you. On the contrary -- when there's a
consensus of experts, you should poke around, kick the tires, explore,
try things, look for counter-examples, etc.

One of the best type of counter-example is "X is a real gain of time",
as you put it. My guess is that it's a gain of time for you because
you're not familiar with other techniques, but if you'd like to post a
more concrete example, we can discuss it and alternatives.

I won't waste your time with examples of how conditional compilation
can waste your time, as the solution is generally "don't use it that
way".

But I'm generally in favor of things that save you time. Sometimes,
even things that save you time up front but cost you more time later.

That sucks,

But its does not sound right, because it says that it has not been
delivered to android-developers@googlegroups.com and then it links
back to their site. If its bounces of that email it should be received
by everyone in this group.

And moreover mine was a new post. So if it was a subscriber its to the

[android-developers] custom Preference work

2010-04-01 Thread eburke

Hi all -- I've been digging around trying to find a solution to my two
issues with Preference, but no luck.  Maybe someone out there has
encountered this.

ISSUE 1

Our designers want a custom header at the top of each preference
screen.  I've tried setting android:layout but that doesn't work the
same for the toplevel PreferenceScreen as it does for child screens.
What I really need to do is subclass PreferenceScreen and change the
ContentView, but sadly, it's sealed.

Basically, I want to have my own UI, with a ListView with id =
"@android:id/list" so that the PreferenceScreen can find where to put
its items.

I looked through the source code to see whether I could simply
override the style for PreferenceScreen, but it appears they use
com.android.internal.R.attr.preferenceScreenStyle when creating the
PreferenceScreen.  Can I somehow override that?  If so, that might be
the way to go.

Does anyone have any other ideas?


ISSUE 2

In our app, we have the ability to "sign in" with your "ID".  We have
the requirement that preferences for each separate ID be stored
indpendently in our database.  I'd like to continue to use the built-
in preference mechanisms.  I was thinking that I might be able to
simply override getSharedPreferences() on the Context that invokes the
preference screen (probably the Application subclass) and return a
custom SharedPreferences class instance.  In my custom instance, I
would simply read and write to the database based on the given user's
ID rather than allowing the base SharedPreferences class to store the
settings itself.

Is this the correct approach?  Are there other solutions that have
worked for anyone?

Thanks!!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Ads in apps... How to successfully generate a larger revenue?

Good info.. so you can integrate google adsense into android apps too? IS
there info on how to do that?

What are the benefits of using 2 or 3 different ones? Just the different ads
that are available? I mean, how do you even know what ads are provided by
each service?

The one that surprises me is people actually click on these things? I can't
imagine during a game I would click on an ad to be taken out of my game to
the device browser to view the ad? That surprises me that anyone would
actually do that.

There is no specific problem with what you're doing, except of course
properly testing all supported versions and being careful if / how you use
APIs that did not exist on 1.5.

Here's the question I have: define "be careful". If "be careful" means
inspecting every class/method call you make against SDK level, I think
you're setting yourself up for failure, as it's extremely easy to miss that,
and the only time you find it is at run time, which for a seldom run piece
of code could be pretty elusive.

It's would be a lot better to "be careful" by having some tool -- maybe in
the android dev tool chain or the eclipse plugin -- that "carefully" goes
through your code looking for method/classes that are below the current
SDK level. I'm sure there are even better ways to "be careful".

But as it right now, "be careful" is just a big smelly hack.

"Be careful" means to test and run the app on the oldest version of the
platform you support to make sure it works.

Just doing automated tests to make sure you are not calling any older APIs
is not a guarantee you will work.

In addition, it is typical for an application to take advantage of Java
class loading to be able to use newer APIs if they are available (see for
example my blog post on the new service APIs), and I don't see any way an
automated tool could accurately determine whether that code is safe on an
older platform.

You just need to make sure you test your app in the key environments it will
run.

No, sorry I didn't mean to imply it would. I was thinking more of a profiler

Full regression testing is really onerous. The problem here is that it's
really really easy to fall into the pit trap here that you find out too late
(ie, in the field). And the problem is only going to get worse and worse
as time goes on.

I'll look for your article.

Um ... didn't Michael just do that?
There is no specific problem with what you're doing, except of
course properly testing all supported versions and being
careful if / how you use APIs that did not exist on 1.5.


Here's the question I have: define "be careful". If "be careful" means
inspecting every class/method call you make against SDK level, I think
you're setting yourself up for failure, as it's extremely easy to
miss that,
and the only time you find it is at run time, which for a seldom
run piece
of code could be pretty elusive.

It's would be a lot better to "be careful" by having some tool --
maybe in
the android dev tool chain or the eclipse plugin -- that
"carefully" goes
through your code looking for method/classes that are below the
current
SDK level. I'm sure there are even better ways to "be careful".

But as it right now, "be careful" is just a big smelly hack.

Mike

[android-developers] Re: Fastest and most reliable Location provider

2010-04-01 Thread patbenatar

Mike-

Sorry, I didn't mean that it just "hangs".. My bad, incorrect
terminology... I have a loader Activity that first acquires their
location then sends that to my Web API and waits for response data. It
shows a nice graphic and displays a spinning loader accompanied with
relevant text based on the current action "Acquiring your
location...", "Download data...", etc. So it's not that the app hangs
or that it appears to be broken or anything.. It just waits on the
loader screen for a bit while obtaining a location.

I have definitely noticed severe lags with GPS and Network locations,
especially when inside [as you addressed].. Basically I'm looking for
the best and most efficient way to write a custom Location manager
class [not a sub-class, just a custom class that handles all the
Location ish for me, cause the built-in Android LocationManager is a
little too low-level to use directly in my main Activities [basically
I'm working on writing my own Location manager that is similar to the
iPhone's version in usability (meaning that my main activities don't
really care/distinguish between GPS/network, the Location manager
class will take care of all that requesting bestProvider and getting
updates from it and what-not).]

It seems the Maps app acquires the user's location much quicker than
my app.. Why is this? Well, I suppose the simple answer is: "Because
it was made by Google." hahah... But really, it all must be
replicable...

Thanks!
Nick

Thank you all for the replies.

I did test my app on a device working on 1.5 and it seems to be
working[so far]. Will do more testing though.

I was also searching for the blog post that Dianne was talking about
but could not find it. Can someone post a link for that blogpost.

Thank you.

[android-developers] Got my free DROID, who's paying for service?

2010-04-01 Thread joshv

So as part of the Google device seeding program I recently recieved my
free Droid.  Great phone, and it appears to have wireless and data
service.  I've done nothing to activate it and I can make calls and
surf the web over 3G.

My question is, who's paying for it?  I tried to activate the phone in
my name.  No dice.  I called Verizon and they said it was on a
corporate or "concession" account.

So do I just have a totally free phone with free calls/data?

Ok, but then what?  The letter that came with it said that I could
activate it and get a free month, or just use it over wi-fi.  But that
appears not to be the case.  It's already been activated by somebody
else, and Verizon customer support can't do seem to do anything with
this phone.  They said I had to have a corporate contact to be able to
manage the account.  Will that change after the month is up?  Will I
be able to activate it in my own name then?

[android-developers] Re: Fastest and most reliable Location provider

2010-04-01 Thread Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)

The method I use, which seems fairly effective, is to start two
listeners, one for coarse and one for fine and let them both try and
get a position. The first one to get it, "wins." One of my apps
continues to report location updates to move a location pin on a map,
as far as I can tell, it is just as fast as the Google map.

The other thing that google maps might be doing is saving the
last location it saw as at least a guess. That may be better than
nothing depending on your app.

[android-developers] Re: Can we release an updated version of app with lower min sdk?

Its regarding the same issue but also related to analytics tracking.

So I analytics referrals work for android 1.6 and higher[from the
documentation]. So will this part cause any issues on 1.5.
  

  

  
I have added the jar and this code to my manifest but I am not sure if
this will cause any problems after releasing it into market.

[android-developers] android-gdocs-api

2010-04-01 Thread Rootko

Hello everyone.

Did anyone successfully used this library (android-gdocs-api) for
retrieving spreadsheet's cells values? I'm trying for days now, but
still without any success. Library is located in 
http://code.google.com/p/android-gdocs-api/
but without any usable samples.

Or is there some other kind of access to google spreadsheets from
android? Best way for me would be to access shared spreadsheet's cells
something like I have shared here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/0ArA3SeTMuh9gdHpMTkh4YkhGWTJwUFEzaWh3bnN2TFE/od6/private/full
. I tried several ways of reading it (socket, httppost, httpget,
URL.getContent()) but I only get either 404 or No-content errors. In
browser this address works, but I failed miserably when trying to read
raw xml in my code :(

Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Rudo

[android-developers] Re: Got my free DROID, who's paying for service?

2010-04-01 Thread Streets Of Boston

It's strange that it already had been activated

I received a free droid about 2 months ago (and i just received
another one) and it had a one-month subscription. If the month runs
out, the 'signal' indicator will still indicate that all is fine and
dandy (you can still call 911), but as soon as you try to make a call
or access the internet, you won't succeed (error messages)

The one month subscription is a bit longer than one month, though. I
could use my previous Droid for about 6 weeks before they shut the
voice and data down for my phone.

If you want to extend the contract for longer, just give Verizon
customer service a call (before the month's up).

No it did not cause any problems on either the device[htc hero] or the
emulator.
I am asking because this part of the code may come into picture when the app
is being downloaded from the market and i am not sure if that causes any
problems.

[android-developers] Setting each pixel quickly?

2010-04-01 Thread paladin

I am using the following code to flip each pixel in a bitmap to black
or white:

for(int x = 0; x < newBitmap.getWidth(); x++) {
for(int y = 0; y < newBitmap.getHeight(); y++) {
int point = newBitmap.getPixel(x, y);
if(point < Color.GRAY) {
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
c.drawPoint(x, y, paint);
} else {
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
c.drawPoint(x, y, paint);
}
}
}

It works, but it is extraordinarily slow for the size image I'm using
(half the resolution of the camera, 1296x972). I have also tried
setPixel, and I'm getting about the same performance. Anyone out there
know of a faster way to do this?

Google this:
ColorMatrix threshold

Here is a link that may be useful:
http://keywon.com/wiki/index.php?title=ColorMatrix

Draw your bitmap (newBitmap) into a bitmap-backed canvas (c) that has
a ColorMatrixColorFilter set with a ColorMatrix that represents a so-
called 'threshold' filter (see above link).

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to view the
