Sounds like you want to change the scale type on the image view.

RE: [android-developers] Dynamically obtaining several instance of a view item defined in layout/xml file

[Ericson, Anders]

Hi,

Just inflate from the xml each time you want a new instance of that particular 
view. Like this:

View innerRL = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.inner_view, null);

I have a relative layout (let's say innerRL place in layout
inner_view.xml) which I wanna add to another layout (main_layout), I
wanna dynamically add multiple instances of innerRL. Specifying
innerRL in xml gives me ease of maintenance (as against doing totally
in the code), however I want to be able to add several instances
dynamically. Using findViewById(resource_id) gives me that particular
instance, should I have to use clone()?

One other approach I see is ArrayAdapter, but it seems overkill.

[android-developers] Re: ListView

[Sandy]

Actually the link I was referring to was horizontalscrollview within a
scrollview (NOT a listview like i mentioned below). Here it is:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2646028/android-horizontalscrollview-within-scrollview-touch-handling

This will not work for me because the functionality I desire to have
is a vertical ListView with 100 list items and the selected item will
have few buttons (around 10) which can be scrolled horizontally.

Thanks,
Sandy

[android-developers] How/where to find key used for signing the system.img applications.

[Chris]

The problem is i want to access email db from my application, but when
im accessing it im getting permission denial exception. Since email is
a system.img application and the permission set for it is
"signatureOrSystem".
So i need to sign my application with the same key. So the question is
where could i find the key in the frameworkcode.

Soap(using Ksoap) and HTTP(using POST) are two methodologies & XML and
JSON are the two data formats that am aware of,(let me know if they
are few other options too..) and ,
i would like to know what is the best option of data transfer when
i) the data to transfer is Large and less frequent.
ii) more frequent but less data is being transfered.

Also when it comes to data synchronization between server and our

Hi Neilz,

Be one of Asian people, AFAIK, mainland China people they have market
their own, it's name is "安卓市場"(Translation to English is "Android
Market"). Because Google doesn't open Asian area (except for Japan) to
let developers upload paid softwares, they are out of patience and
create one market to play. Their android market has many very qulified
and full-idea softwares I've never seen. But one drawback is that many
of them are Simplified-Chinese only. :(

[android-developers] Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[Streets Of Boston]

For Bitmaps, calling System.gc() can help quite a bit.
The DalvikVM does not 'see' the raw binary data held by a Bitmap. The
process may be getting close to out-of-memory while the DalvikVM
thinks there is plenty the DalvikVM does not call a garbage
collection when needed.

When an allocation happens and the process runs out of memory...
kablooi.

Calling System.gc() makes sure that the garbage collection is run and
finalizers of de-referenced Bitmap instance are run so that the raw
binary data can be released.

In my experience, it is actually more 'effective' to call System.gc()
just before you start allocating a big Bitmap, causing finalizers to
run of Bitmaps that then clear/release 'hidden' raw binary data. This
cleans up the process-memory beforehand, not after the fact (after an
OOM-error).

[android-developers] Re: Change background after an Orientation change

[Kumar Bibek]

Sure, you have to create a different layout file for the landscape
mode with a different background image in the layout-land folder.

Try searching for it in the docs and you will get an idea on what and
how to do it.

[android-developers] Re: Placing a bitmap image in ImageView

[Kumar Bibek]

One tip to save some memory, pre-scale your bitmaps since it's just 50
by 50. This would save a lot of memory, and if you are loading real
big images, this can prevent OutOfMemory errors.

[android-developers] Re: How can i vertically align items in RelativeLayout?

[Kumar Bibek]

If you want the views to be below one another, you should be using
android:layout_below and not android:layout_toRightOf.

To align them, use android:layout_alignLeft, or alignRight etc.

[android-developers] Any way to make localized resources separate downloads?

[eehouse]

It's looking as if my first app will be about 200K in size, English-
only.  Each localization adds about 12K.  So far it's only available
on sourceforge where it has a few hundred downloads and already
volunteers have contributed three translations, so it seems possible
that once it's on the android marketplace translations will nearly
double its size.  That seems wasteful of users' phone storage when
most of them want only one language.  In the PocketPC version the
translations are separately downloadable .dll files -- which sucks for
lots of reasons but does allow users to manage how much space the app
consumes.  Is there any way to mimic this behavior on Android?  For
example, could I have the full-sized app offer to download a one-
language version of itself that would then replace the larger
version?  Or is there a mechanism I've missed close to what .dlls
provide?

Thanks,

--Eric

RE: [android-developers] Images in ListView in wrong places

[楊健]

I meet the same problem when I used a class inherit from  BaseAdapter ,

Subject: [android-developers] Images in ListView in wrong places

Hi,

I have a ListView which has rows that include an ImageView. I am
populating the ImageView with the following code (getting the image
from the SDCard if available):

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filename);
ImageView iv = getCoverImageView();
if(null!=iv)
iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);

However when I scroll and the images are loaded they seem to turn up
in the wrong places.

The ListView is populated through a CursorAdapter:

@Override
public void bindView(View row, Context ctxt, Cursor c) {
SDIReleaseWrapper wrapper = (SDIReleaseWrapper) row.getTag();
wrapper.populateFrom(c);
}

@Override
public View newView(Context ctxt, Cursor c,
ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.release_row, parent, 
false);
SDIReleaseWrapper wrapper = new SDIReleaseWrapper(row);
row.setTag(wrapper);
wrapper.populateFrom(c);

return row;
}

and the rows are populated with information from the database through
the wrapper. The TextViews in the rows show up fine, but the
ImageViews seem to have random effects.

I'm not really understanding the process of populating an ImageView in
the row or why the ImageView doesn't know which row to populate with
the image.

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Use a SQLite database. Or a file (JSON, XML, CSV, INI, whatever). Or a
SharedPreferences.

[android-developers] Re: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[Bob Kerns]

Carefully study the exception type hierarchy. Error and Exception are
distinct (and deliberately so). You are not catching OutOfMemoryError.

But catching an OutOfMemoryError and retrying is unlikely to succeed.
The VM does GC before throwing the error. It's not entirely pointless,
however -- occasionally a second GC will be able to collect something
prior GC was not able to, possibly because of running finalizers or
similar issues.  Putting the call to System.gc() there isn't a
requirement because of a deficiency in the VM, but rather a
desperation move for when in desperate straits.

It is quite likely that if that GC call helps, you're doomed to have
another OutOfMemoryError soon, that you won't recover from.

I'm NOT arguing against doing it, just putting it into context. It's
survival mode programming.

[android-developers] Re: EGL initialized failed

[Lance Nanek]

One thing to check is to make sure are loading your textures again
when you come back. I use GLSurfaceView, so any EGL stuff is handled
for me, but I know I have to load textures again in
GLSurfaceView.Renderer#onSurfaceChanged, not
GLSurfaceView.Renderer#onSurfaceCreated, which is called less often.
Otherwise I get similar problems. That's sort of similar to your
situation.

[android-developers] Which way is better for an app to support multiple screens?

[Stanley Li]

Hi all,

I have read the topic about supporting multiple screen size as well as
different dpi.

I am wondering which of the following way is better in supporting multiple
screens:

1. have different layout for different screen size (stretch the images)
2. have different set of graphics for different screen (use the same layout)
3 have different set of graphics and different set of layout for each of the
screen

Which way is the easiest? And which way is the most optical way to design?
Or is there another better way?

Thanks,

Stanley

Re: [android-developers] Re: button background image scaled down by default?

[Stanley Li]

lol...I just found out why. It is a stupid mistake.

My background image is 400X100, but I ignored the white space which counts
up to 200 pixel wide. That is why I can't see the whole image filling out
the screen horizontally.

Sorry for my stupid mistake.

Please ignore my question.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Strange Media Player Behavior on EVO

[Lance Nanek]

SoundPool seems screwed up on the Evo 4G too. On G1/N1/Droid I can
play a sound at low priority, then change its stream to high priority.
This prevents sounds from stopping each other, even when the maximum
streams are reached. The new sound just won't play instead. I think it
is nicer than stopping a sound midway through. This doesn't work on
the Evo 4G, though. It just starts ignoring all new sounds requests,
even if previous ones are long finished, and no sounds get played at
all after the first few.

Flash reads are relatively quick, so unless you are perceiving scrolling
as being "janky" (to use Brad Fitzpatrick's term), I wouldn't worry
about it.

If you were fetching images on the fly off the Web, that you should do
in an AsyncTask or other form of work queue.

Genius. (on your behalf - stupidity on mine...)

I had missed out "row."

Sorry for such a silly question...

Thank you once again!

Would you recommend filling the images via an AsyncTask given they are coming 
from the SDCard?

[android-developers] Problem using adb push

[Jiss]

Hello everyone !

I am trying to port PC/SC on my G1 in order to develop on a smartcard.
I am using the SEEK for Android tutorial ( 
http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/UsingPCSC
)

But when I get to

"
Create required directories (/data/pcsc and /data/pcscd) on the device
and copy pcscd and testpcsc to /data/pcsc

$ adb shell mkdir /data/pcsc
$ adb shell mkdir /data/pcscd
$ adb push src/pcscd /data/pcsc
$ adb push src/testpcscd /data/pcsc

"

I simply can't push pcscd and testpcsc to the /data/pcsc folder on the
G1.

I've tried many things as giving all the rights to the folders, or
trying to copy them on an other place on the phone, but I simply
can't. When I push on of them, the console just waits until I
press CTRL + C to abort the operation, then the device is no longer
recognized by the system, I have to unplug it, plug it and restart adb
root.

A thing that is very strange, is that I can push .txt files to /data/
pcsc, but it seems I can't push executable files


Can someone help me please ?


Thanks

Jiss

Re: [android-developers] Re: button background image scaled down by default?

[Stanley Li]

Sorry, I have tried all attributes for android:scaleType but it still
doesn't work.

I tried debugging it using log.d to see the width of the view

int a =startGameB.getWidth();
int b = startGameB.getHeight();
log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(a));
log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(b));

the result is "width = 480px", which is what I want. However, the background
image is not 480px. It is much smaller than 480px.

Again, the xml for the button is:



How can I change the size of the background image for the button?



Thanks so much,

Stanley

Re: [android-developers] Images in ListView in wrong places

Well, all I can tell you is that the symptom of "images seem randomized
when I scroll" usually points to some sort of binding problem.

Actually, that doesn't strictly answer my question.

For example, when you are looking up that ImageView, are you calling
findViewById() on the row View, or on the Activity? You need to look it
up on the row -- otherwise, the Activity will return to you the first
instance of your ImageView with that name it finds in the list.

Hi Mark,

Oh great, yes I did read that. :)

I believe I am using the main application thread - perhaps this would be better 
using a background thread. For the moment though the list is small.

> If you are using a background thread, bear in mind that you may have

I'll keep this in mind when moving to this method.

> Are you sure your SDIReleaseWrapper is pointing to the right ImageView?
Yes I performed a search and the only layout (or xml file for that matter) with 
release_icon in it is release_row, which I am trying to populate.

> Is your above bitmap-loading code part of populateFrom()?
Yes that is correct:
void populateFrom(Cursor c) {...

There is a unique id in the Cursor (result) I can use to reference the file.

I omitted that the adapter (SDIReleaseAdapter) implements SectionIndexer 
although I'm assuming this won't affect things.

Regards,
Julius.

Are you doing the image loading in the main application thread, or a
background thread (e.g., AsyncTask)?

If you are using a background thread, bear in mind that you may have
scrolled before the image gets put into the list.

Are you sure your SDIReleaseWrapper is pointing to the right ImageView?

Is your above bitmap-loading code part of populateFrom()?

[android-developers] Images in ListView in wrong places

[julius]

Hi,

I have a ListView which has rows that include an ImageView. I am
populating the ImageView with the following code (getting the image
from the SDCard if available):

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filename);
ImageView iv = getCoverImageView();
if(null!=iv)
iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);

However when I scroll and the images are loaded they seem to turn up
in the wrong places.

The ListView is populated through a CursorAdapter:

@Override
public void bindView(View row, Context ctxt, Cursor c) {
SDIReleaseWrapper wrapper = (SDIReleaseWrapper) row.getTag();
wrapper.populateFrom(c);
}

@Override
public View newView(Context ctxt, Cursor c,
ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.release_row, parent, 
false);
SDIReleaseWrapper wrapper = new SDIReleaseWrapper(row);
row.setTag(wrapper);
wrapper.populateFrom(c);

return row;
}

and the rows are populated with information from the database through
the wrapper. The TextViews in the rows show up fine, but the
ImageViews seem to have random effects.

I'm not really understanding the process of populating an ImageView in
the row or why the ImageView doesn't know which row to populate with
the image.

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Yeah, you do have to do some work here, which is unfortunate.  There are
several options, you may already be aware of them.  One is to use
Overlay.onTouchEvent() to detect ACTION_UP events, which could help detect
when touch gestures have finished.  Another is to use a timeout mechanism in
draw() itself.  On each draw() call, you can have a Handler to send a
message at a specified time in the near future, after canceling any other
such previously requested messages.  When you get the message, you know the
user's been idle for that short period of time.
 android.view.GestureDetector uses this approach for long press detection,
among other things -- check out lines 456-7,
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/view/GestureDetector.java
.

[android-developers] Re: Custom namespace using .Net webservice and ksoap.

[Ed]

Hi All,

I eventually solved this. What I was missing was the mapping on the
envelope. I had seen this in examples but mistakingly assumed that
this was for handling the response and that it wouldn't effect the
request. The below line of code solved my problem and now all is well.

envelope.addMapping(request.getNamespace(), "MyRequestClass",
MyRequestClass.class);

No doubt I'll have move questions as soon as I have more time to work
on the app.

[android-developers] Strange Media Player Behavior on EVO

[info.sktechnol...@gmail.com]

I create a media player for playing an audio file.
After it plays for a while I pause it.
I then seek to a position 5 seconds earlier (the new position) than
the current position (the old position).
I immediately call getCurrentPosition and it returns the correct new
position.
I have an OnSeekCompleteListener and in it I call getCurrentPosition.
It returns the old position (before the seek).
Any additional calls to getCurrentPosition with the media player
paused
return the old position.
When I now call start, it starts playing from the new position,
and after that, calls to getCurrentPosition are correct.
Note: all calls are being made by the same thread.

The problem does not occur if I do all of this while the player is
playing.
The problem occurs only on my stock EVO running 2.1-update1
(1.32.651.6).
It does not occur on my G1 (1.6), Hero (2.1), Nexus (2.1)
or in the emulator.

Any ideas?

If it's one you showed, keep a reference to it.
If it's not one you showed, you probably can't just "grab" it.

[android-developers] How can i vertically align items in RelativeLayout?

[Thierry Legras]

Hi,

As i am facing limitation of layout depth in my application, i am replacing
some LinearLayout with RelativeLayout.
However i am stopped by a supposely very simple issue (but apparantly
without clean solution regarding that
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1499555/android-layout-centering-in-relativelayout-for-custom-listview,
nor in the ApiDemos sample where RelativeLayout are too simple):

How can i align vertically 3 items (in a simple way!) which are on a
horizontal line with RelativeLayout without ???

does not seem to have any effect at all.

Here is the xml; in this example i would like an icon at left (fixed width),
a text label in the middle (fixed width) and an edit text on the right
(remaining space). the problem is that the TextView seems to ignore the
parameter android:layout_gravity="center_vertical", and seems to be top
aligned with parent


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
>






Of course i can use marginTop/Bottom and alignTop/Bottom on each single item
but that's not very clean :(

Any idea?

[android-developers] button background image scaled down by default?

[Stanley Li]

Hi all,

I try to make a button with a background image. However, the background
image is scaled down.

In my xml code, I have:



The background image is 400X100. However, when it goes to the screen
(480X854), the image is much smaller than 400 pixel wide.

If i use an image of 480X100, the image still can't fit the whole screen.

It seems there is a relationship between layout_width and the size of the
background image. For example, when i set layout_width=700px, the background
image's width is increased but it still can't fit the whole screen
horizontally.

Can any help me with this?



Thanks so much.

Stanley

You do not need additional libraries, as android already got
HttpClient
I do following:
-%<---
 httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpPost httpRequest = new HttpPost(PUSH_URL);
 List pairs = new ArrayList();
 pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", entry.getName()));
...

httpRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs));


HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpRequest);

Call pause() or stopPlayback() on the VideoView, I guess. Those methods
are lightly documented, so you will have to experiment or look at the
source code to see what fits your needs.

Do you have any clue about this?

[android-developers] HTC Incredible Phone Storage and such: This is what i found out and is there a more robust way for future phones?

[Streets Of Boston]

This has come up a few times, but it's still not quite clear how to
deal with this in a portable, forward compatible way. The question is
how to deal with images (media) that is stored on the phone's storage
and possibly on a sd-card as well.

This code below shows what i found out:
==
Cursor cur;
String[] projection = new String[]
{ MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA };
cur = MediaStore.Images.Media.query(getContentResolver(),
MediaStore.Images.Media.getContentUri("phoneStorage"),
projection);
File phoneStorageMount = new File("/emmc");
boolean phoneStorageMounted = (cur != null);
if (cur != null) cur.close();


cur = MediaStore.Images.Media.query(getContentResolver(),
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection);
boolean externalStorageMounted = (cur != null);
File externalMount = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (cur != null) cur.close();
===

If the phone-storage is mounted, phoneStorageMounted is true. When
querying 'cur', you'll find that the root-directory (mount) of the
phone-storage is "/emmc".

If the external storage is mounted, externalStorageMounted is true.
The root-directory can be obtained in a compatible way using
Envirionment.getExternalStorageDirectory().

If you replace EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI with INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, you'll
find that the HTC Desire returns a proper cursor with a number of
rows. It points to images stored in the directory "/system/customize/
resource". But you can't insert or modify anything in this directory.
It is all read-only.


My questions are:
- If phoneStorageMounted, is it safe to assume that the root/mount-
directory is always "/emmc"?
- Is it safe to assume that INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI is never phone-
storage and read-only?

Can a google or HTC engineer chime in on this?
Thanks! :-)

Look at android.os.Build.VERSION.

[android-developers] How global is the app market?

[Neilz]

Hi. I'm UK based and I'm wondering how much of the world can see and
download my apps from the market?

For example, the chinese market, which I believe is quite large, can
they see UK or US based apps? Or does some kind of specific
translation need to be done for this to happen? Or is it a separate
market place?

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Urgent response needed.

[Kevin Duffey]

Onomp,

I think I get the gist of what you are worried about. I think all of us sort
of have that fear... will Android survive with so many buggy apps out there
and with more and more mom/dad/non-geeky people adopting android phones,
downloading these potentially problem apps, seeing them crash, and get
frustrated and leave... will Android survive through all this? I too have
had this thought from time to time. It is going to happen. People are going
to get android phones, realize they aren't iPhones.. and leave. It already
happens. People are going to see that android devices, while no harder than
other smart phones and offers a lot more to boot, can be difficult at times.
After all, android devices are essentially a dumbed down computer. It runs
multiple things at once, and sometimes those things crash.

There are a few things for you to consider tho, before you give up on
Android as a platform to develop for. First, most PC owners are Windows
users.. and we all know the never ending jokes of blue screens, crashes,
etc. I think most users are familiar with program crashes to some extent. It
will look different in Android.. a Force Close message is not exactly
non-geek friendly, but most users these days will have a rough idea that the
app crashed, and either to restart it, or possibly to go to their computer
and look up the issue. Some people will get pissed and eventually leave. It
will happen. I think what you are possibly overlooking is that the world of
phones has drastically changed the past couple years, but that most end
users have not yet stepped up to them. Billions of cell phones, only a 100
million or so smart phones. Prob < 5% of the world wide market is smart
phones at this point, but it's rapidly changing. It will be a few more years
before the majority of people are used to the idea of a phone that can do
everything their computer can... that you can download apps and play games,
read the news, an e-book, stocks, connect to your email, company vpn, etc.
It's catching on quick tho. So like the 80s and 90s when people slowly
adopted PCs (and Macs to a much lesser extent), the pains we all went
through with blue screens, and random reboots.. we're doing it again with
smart phones, only smart phones are a lot better at handling these issues.
It will just take some time for the mass consumers to get used to this new
way of communicating, playing, using, and understanding the issues that may
crop up.

As for Android going away.. I honestly worried about the same thing. I
thought..man.. there are a LOT of issues with Android as a whole. The market
app is taking too long for updates.. we should be able to better filter
apps.. why not a way to allow us to see only 4 star apps with over 5000
downloads for example? It's a very easy thing to do... google has all the
data, a simple query can pull that info and allow us to get more detailed
filtering on apps we may want ... or want to avoid. But, Android is far from
going anywhere. Despite it's flaws, like others said, it's an evolving
beast. It's going to get a LOT better. Froyo (2.2) in my opinion bumps up
Android devices to beyond iPhone, with the exception of games/music apps and
user interface.

Part of what you are seeing and worried about is what drives iPhone so well.
The user interface on iPhone is the best, period. I personally like the
Android one better, but the majority of people including Android users will
say the iPhone interface is about as easy as it gets. There new iOS4 with
multi tasking should make it better. However, for the same reason a lot of
developers are leaving iPhone for Android.. the openness of Android, we're
going to see a lot of "painful" initial learning curves on the market. I
can't tell you how many threads I see in here and on other android forums of
people who want to write a game, and have no idea what Java is. It's scary
how many developers with almost no experience are coming out of the woodwork
to build a game for Android. It's both scary, yet good too.. because that
means you have a huge interest in the development of Android apps. I bought
my Droid in November, there were 5000 apps on the market. Now there are over
55,000 7 months later. In a year, we'll be up to 150,000 apps. That can be a
good thing IF the market app itself improves and allows more filtering
options, but I am sure you're worried that the bulk of those are going to be
horribly bad apps, and most end users won't know, and will get scared and
return their android phones and thus the android market will shrink.

I think the opposite tho.. I think.. .well, I hope that what we see in
Froyo.. the new google free service that developers can now log in and see
the full stack trace + comments of a crashed app, will only improve in many
ways. The biggest thing that urks me right now with regards to the market is
how fast your app can stop being downloaded based on user feedback. There is
no way to really respond to user feedback in the market... so ev

[android-developers] Re: Focus problem in GridView inside Dialog

[Piotr Buła]

Just for the record, I resolved the problem. The problem was in
ListAdapter, or rather, the way it interacted with the rest of the
program. As a result, call to getItem() triggered unnecessary list
change notification, which caused this weird behavior.

Cheers,
Piotr

I have always considered CallLog to be read-only. It is only a matter of
time before somebody realizes the problems inherent in it being
read-write (e.g., forging outbound phone call records) and locks it
down. I am rather surprised the core Android team hasn't locked this
down yet.

However, given your apparent symptoms, it is likely that HTC replaced
it, and equally likely that the CTS doesn't test a read-write CallLog
very much.

Probably not.

Re: [android-developers] Re: StackOverflowError in UI redraw

[Thierry Legras]

Ok thanks.
Now the good news is that when i changed my code to
setText(getText(aResID).toString() + anotherString) i don't have any more
the same trace (but as it was not easily reproductible, it is difficult to
say it is completly solved).

The bad news is that when i add also these 2 following lines in my
TabActivity.onCreate to change the tab color:

tabHost.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);

tabHost.getTabWidget().setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.dark_blue));

I have now a systematic crash at startup :( (no mention of CharSequence in
the backtrace)
Does changing the color has anything to do this layout nest level??

Particularly the "tabHost.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);" seems to cause
the crash.

[android-developers] Re: Call Log on HTC Hero

[Denis Souza]

Ok, bad choice of words... still, I can generate requests to a the
call log's content provider. Does that mean that HTC likely replaced
the content provider with a buggy/restrictive version? If that's the
case would there be another way to change that data without root
access?

Re: [android-developers] ContactContracts

[Dmitri Plotnikov]

Hi Vikram,

The data structure in the contacts DB has three levels:
- Contact is an aggregate of RawContacts
- RawContact represents a specific contact data set from a particular source
(e.g. Gmail or Exchange)
- Data contains all contact data: emails, phone numbers, birthday, etc one
data element per row.

When you query the Data table, it is automatically joined with the
corresponding Contact so you can get the aggregate's name and photo ID.

Specifically,

- Lookup by email address: you can use either Email.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI or
Email.CONTENT_FILTER_URI. Use the latter if you want to search by incomplete
email addresses. This is what email programs use for autocompletion.  In
either case  Email.CONTACT_ID will give you the _ID of the corresponding
aggregated contact.  The result will also include the contact name and photo
ID.

- Phone lookup.  Despite its name, PhoneLookup is not what you need.
 PhoneLookup is a special table used for caller ID in telephony. Try
Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI instead, appending the encoded phone number to that
URI.  It behaves just like Email.CONTENT_FILTER_URI.  Phone.CONTACT_ID will
give you the contact ID

- To do a lookup by name use Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI.  In this case _ID
is the contact _ID.

Once you have the ID of the contact you needed, read Data for that Contact
and find rows for phone number, email etc.  This bit is a little tricky
because there might be several email addresses or none, and you will need to
handle all those cases.  If the user has chosen a default email or phone
number for that contact, the corresponding data row will
have IS_SUPER_PRIMARY=1.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
- Dmitri

[android-developers] Re: Submit Android form data to the web via POST

[theSmith]

I saw your entry on stackoverflow too.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/245/submit-form-with-post-data-in-android-app

I would suggest using the Apache libraries (all the http client, get/
post, response stuff) and parsing the data your self. If they just
wanted a webview the user might as well just open the browser
initially.
On another note if you really want a webview make sure to enable
javascript manually (could be the problem of things not displaying
correctly)

Some pointers with the network communication on Android.
Use an AsyncTask to put the network comm on another thread (gets it
off the UI thread).
Make good use of try-catch blocks and let the user know whats going on
when things get ugly (very important to a good user experience)

If you need some more tips feel free to ask.

This sounds like a job for weighs. Try setting the right textview weight to
0 ("take up the room you need") and the one on the left to 1 ("take the rest
of the available space").

[android-developers] Accessing Dynamic TextView

[Jeremy]

Hi,
I'm new to this Android stuff (and to Java).

I have created a table with 2 rows in it. Each row has 5 TextViews
with a default text of 0.
There is also a button outside of the table.

I am trying to figure out how to update each of the TextViews in each
row on each successive press of the button.
So on the first press of the button the first TextView in the first
row should update to 1.
On the second press of the button the second TextView in the first row
should update to 2...etc.

I can't figure out how to do this programmatically without having to
code it all - is it possible?
Basically I guess I need to build up the ID of the TextView
dynamically.
So if the TextViews have ids as item1, item2, item3 etc.
Then I need to build up the findViewById(R.id.item + i);
Obviously this is not possible but is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Jeremy

[android-developers] Maybe a bug In LauncherModel.java function bindWorkspace()

[foxbei]

Hi when we look into code LauncherModel.java function bindWorkspace()
for below code snap
// Wait until the queue goes empty.
mHandler.postIdle(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (DEBUG_LOADERS) {
Log.d(TAG, "Going to start binding widgets
soon.");

[android-developers] Orientation sensor battery usage

[Jeremy Statz]

Hey there folks, I almost have to be doing something wrong here but
can't find any explanation so far...

Basically, I have a live wallpaper on the market that has an option to
make use of the orientation sensor for camera movement.  Battery usage
noticeably suffers when this option is turned on, and when my
attention was drawn to it I went to fix it.  I've been using the
battery usage screen for reference -- when this option is disabled, my
wallpaper doesn't even show as a blip.

The problem is it looks to me like things are in order... at onCreate
and onResume I register as a listener (with frequency set to normal).
At onPause I unregister.  I've wrapped the sensor setting into a
single function, and log prints in that location indicate that when
the wallpaper isn't visible I have unregistered, and that when the
phone's put to sleep I have unregistered.  This all seems like logical
behavior, as obviously if my wallpaper's not being rendered I've got
no interest in the sensor.

Despite that, my battery usage shows as enormous (90%+!), even if the
phone's done nothing but sit on the table asleep for 20 minutes... in
which case the listener should've been unregistered the whole time.
After a while I even put in a counter to make sure I'm not registering
more often than unregistering, and that seems to check out as well.

Is there something I need to do besides
sensorManager.unregisterlistener() to let go of the sensor?  Is there
some complexity to this besides registering/unregistering?  I'm
testing on an HTC Incredible.

(Sorry for the lack of code sample, I'm on the wrong machine right now)

[android-developers] Ubale to add artist to media provider

[gadjou]

I have succesfully added an audio file to the media provider. However,
I can't see it neither from "artists", "Albums" or "Songs from the
audio player". I can see and play it from the "recently added"
playlist. The album and artist tags are correct there.

To solve it I tryed to add a corresponding artist to the media
provider:

-
...
import android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Artists;
...
ContentResolver contentResolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues(1);
values.put(Artists.ARTIST, "test");
Uri urialbum = contentResolver.insert(Artists.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
values);
---

Unfortunatly it result in "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
Invalid URI content://media/internal/audio/artists".

What is wrong here? Is it the correct way to solve my problem?
Thanks
Jérôme

[android-developers] Raw file system access.

[sohel Cuetian]

HI all,

I am doing a feasibility study. I just need to know is there any way
(API) to get physical address of a file in the file system (memory
block) of the phone and write that memory block with different bytes?
Should I concern about YAFFS here? I also need to get the physical
address of db files. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] VirtualKeyboard not updating EditText

[Gabriele Cardosi]

Hi all,
hope not to post an already answered question, but i didn't find it
searching in the forum.
My problem is:
I have two edit text on an activity, the first does not have any
filter, the second is "inputType:"number".
When I click on this second, the virtualkeyboard appear, but when I
click on numbers only the first one appear on the edit text. Then,
when I hide the virtual keyboard, all the numbers I have clicked
appear.
The worst is that:
1) this does not happen when I use version 1.5, but only with
following version;
2) this does not happen with the other edittext;
3) when using the "real" keyboard, there is no problem;
4) I have also tried copying the same xml settings from the "working"
edittext, with no success.
5) my last try was to intercept the key pressed with OnKeyListener,
manually setting the text with the pressed char, but even with that
the edittext got updated only AFTER the virtualkeyboard disappear;
6) on some posts I read that maybe the problem is that virtual
keyboard events does not flows exactly like the "real" keyboard ones,
but I could not get further.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
