[android-developers] Track user location.
Hi All, I am trying to develop a application "LocationTracker". I have some doubts 1.) Is it possible to find out location of your phone book friends (current location based on his mobile number). 2.) How to get Longitute and Latitute Values based on current mobile location. (Actually i have code in which if i pass Longitute and Latitute Values, it gives me Address. so from this i can find out current location of a person). 3.) I am using a getFromLocation(double latitude, double longitude, int maxResults) method of GeoCoder class. It gives me List of Address.From this i get country and other details but getLocality() method return null. so i am not being able to get exact location.

[android-developers] layout problem when orientation changed
My activity use the same RelativeLayout as it's content view whatever the orientation is.

[android-developers] Resource linking / imports
First off; I know the implementation of this should be discussed on the framework list, but I'm putting this idea out on here to see if there is a need for it. I've recently worked on a project where the designer wanted a 2 x 3 grid of icons as the apps "home" page. This threw up an interesting situation because to do this using the best resolution possible it seems we would either need to copy the actual icons into multiple directories, or create a resource alias file for each icon, neither of which is ideal (think 30+ icons across the app which needed duplicating). What I'm wondering is if there is a need for a single file which contains all of the resources to use within another resource directory. To give you an idea of the problem I'll scale it down to 3 icons which have mdpi and hdpi variants; drawables/icon1.png drawables/icon2.png drawables/icon3.png drawables-hdpi/icon1.png drawables-hdpi/icon2.png drawables-hdpi/icon3.png As the Dell Streak is a WVGA device that identifies itself as a large- mdpi device we wanted to use the -hdpi icons for it, but this would result in three new files containing resource aliases; drawables-large-mdpi/icon1.xml drawables-large-mdpi/icon2.xml drawables-large-mdpi/icon3.xml What I'm wondering is should this be a single file which contains a list of all the imports. For example; drawables-large-mdpi/imports.xml which contains; icon1.png icon2.png icon3.png < /imports> This does away with the file-per-resource requirements of the current configuration and it allows resources for multiple other directories to be included because the source could refer to any other resource directory. So, do people think this would be of use, or have I missed something which makes this whole idea obsolete?

[android-developers] Re: Resource linking / imports
Second thoughts, a better workaround would probably be to just use your highest resolution icons and put them in drawable. Scale them (down) at runtime. If you have a load of users running normal-mdpi screens, then you might want to put lower res icons in drawable-normal- mdpi. For those users running small-hdpi, normal-ldpi etc, tough luck! But anyway yes, in general, this "import" approach to indirection would be useful...

Re: [android-developers] Re: Avoiding GPL
You really need to consult a specialist on this subject, developers (including me) have a tendency to give out "I am not a lawyer" type advice, which is inherently unreliable. In the strategy you describe, I believe putting A and B in the same APK means you are distributing both components as a single piece of software. A person cannot modify and distribute B without either bundling closed-source A, or modifying the build process (which also violates the GPL). You would be closer to a solution if you created 2 separate APK's, as long as A and B are completely independent of each other. The nature of the GPL is that the authors *do not want* their code distributed in a closed-source solution, and this is exactly why it is so difficult to find a legal way to do it. If you want to mix licences; seek legal advice, and/or contact the authors about the possibility of a dual-licence solution.

If you need to integrate it with your app deeply so that you can't use the modified version without your app, then you need to open source the entire thing. IANAL but using a open source library in a closed source project without any modification should not provide any serious legal issues as long as everyone is properly credited and there is no stipulations in the license or on the creators website. I wouldn't recommend doing complex workarounds, because it just increases the amount of changes and dependencies between your app and the open source app, and shows that you were trying to circumvent things. Just do your best to not change it, and check the creators site to see if they sell alternate licenses that might server your needs better, if you do need to modify the source in certain ways.

Re: [android-developers] Using SyncAdapter for syncing application data
Nice thought. But do you really think you need an adapter to answer this. This is just a data sync functionality! If its tightly tied to UI re-drawing/customization then you might go with writing SyncAdapter otherwise you can, very well, stick with an interface!

[android-developers] Display a Dialog in non-Activity (simple Java) Class By passing Parameters
Hi,
I am trying to display a dialog box in a simple Java class that is
called from my main Activity but not successful.
Please help me to figure it out.
I am passing the required values as parametrs.
I have two class:
class MainActivity extends Activity :: Main *starting point *of
Application
class ShowMyDialog :: a simple java program In which I *generate an
URl* and *display a dialog with WebView*.
I am passing the Acitivity from my
MainActivity to this class as a parameter in function.
But I am *unable to call* the onCreateDialog method that I have *defined in
the simple java class*.
However , If I define the *onCreateDialog method in MainActivity*, I am able
to display it* successfully.
*
*What Should I pass as Parameter to the non Activity class from MainActivity
class so that I am able to display the dialog as defined by showdialog
method in JAVA class ???*
My steps of source code is as follow:
class MainActivity extends Activity{
onCreate{
Activity passingActivity = this;// THIS PASSING
PARAMETERS NEED TO BE CHANGED , getApplicationContext doesnot works for me
ShowMyDialog showMyDialog = new ShowMyDialog(passingActivity);
showMyDailog.displayMyDialog();
}
}
class ShowMyDialog{
public ShowMyDialog(Activity passingActivity){
this.passingActivity = passingActivity;
}
public displayMyDialog (){
int ID = 1;
passingActivity.showdialog(ID);
}
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int position){
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(callingActivity);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialogbrowser);
WebView mWebView = (WebView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com";);
return dialog
}
}
Thanks,
NIshant

i have tried the following ,

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;

import android.widget.Toast;
public class SpeakerService extends Service implements OnInitListener{
//Receiver rv = new Receiver();
//TextSpeaker tspker = new TextSpeaker();
public static TextToSpeech mtts;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(){
//mtts =new TextToSpeech(getBaseContext(), null);
Log.d("SpeakerService","Service created successfully!");
mtts = new TextToSpeech(this,this);
mtts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
//mtts.speak(rv.str, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null);
//TextSpeaker.mtts.speak(Receiver.str,
TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null);
}
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent,int startid)
{
Log.d("SpeakerService","Service started successfully!");
Log.d("SpeakerService","Service started successfully!");
//Log.d("SpeakerService","rv = " + rv.toString());
//Log.d("SpeakerService","tspker = " + tspker.toString());
Log.d("SpeakerService","tspker.mtts = " +
TextSpeaker.mtts.toString());
mtts = new TextToSpeech(this,this);
mtts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
//TextSpeaker.mtts.speak("Service started",
TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
//TextSpeaker.mtts.speak(Receiver.str,
TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null);
mtts.speak(Receiver.str, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy(){
if(mtts!=null)
{
mtts.stop();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"The service has
been
destroyed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
@Override
public void onInit(int arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Now i am not able to hear any sound. but only receive the Toast
messages. the logcat says "ERROR/MediaPlayerService(30): Couldn't open

Also, what are the rules for AndroidManifest elements? - Does the main package or an Android library (or both) need to declare a uses-permission for something that happens in library code? - If a library implements a BroadcastReceiver should it be declared in its manifest, or that of the application (or both)? - etc. David On Jun 22, 4:38 pm, Mike dg wrote: > Android libraries can include resources.

[android-developers] install to sdcard failed
Hi, I'm trying the feature android:installLocation="preferExternal" my asset files is 155MB and sdcard has around 2GB. When trying to install, it seems the apk file is installing to the internal phone storage instead to the sdcard. This results : Unable to upload file: No space left on device When i tried to remove some asset files to small size <20MB i think, it can be installed to the sdcard. Can anyone help me out why it's installing to the internal phone storage instead to sdcard?

My opinion is that deactivating the lock pattern via a regular setting was a security hole. If the user wants a lock pattern, apps should not change that. If the user does not want a lock pattern, the user is perfectly capable of disabling it using the Settings application. The exception would be if an enterprise would want to mandate the lock screen be on and not disable-able, which runs counter to your apparent goals. My hope is that eventually stuff like this and custom lock screens will become part of the new device admin APIs. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] layout problem when orientation changed
You need to reverse the order of the child elements of RelativeLayout. In Android 1.6+, you can have a widget (e.g., your TextView) refer to a widget (e.g., your FrameLayout) that appears later in the XML. Android 1.5 does not support this. Hence, you need your FrameLayout to appear first in your XML, then the TextView. You do not need to change any of your attributes. Your layout should then work as expected.

Re: [android-developers] Resource linking / imports
Conceptually, the notion seems sound. However, I'm here to encourage you to "Just Do It".

This doesn't strictly need to be on the -framework list, since what you want does not require any changes to the Android OS. You can achieve your goals with zero modifications to anything in the AOSP. Standardizing this would require changes to *tools*, and given a working implementation, discussions on integrating the scheme into the tools could probably just go straight to the -contrib list. > > icon1.png > icon2.png > icon3.png > < /imports> Here's your AOSP-mod-free implementation: Step #1: Modify the above XML format to be something that can live in a resource directory but be ignored by the build tools. It might qualify right now. It may require some tweaking. It is conceivable that nothing will work, in which case toss it into an imports/ directory off the project root and add a target attribute to the root element to indicate the resource directory you were originally planning to have the file live in. Step #2: Create the Android Image Importer (aii) tool. aii inject finds the import file(s) and creates the alias XML files that you are trying to avoid creating by hand. aii extract finds the import file(s) and removes the alias XML files. Step #3: Add aii inject to your toolchain as an early step in the build, before the first aapt call. Step #4: Add aii extract to your toolchain as a late step in the build, probably at the end after the APK packaging/signing is complete (for Ant, I'd do steps #3 and #4 by creating wrapper tasks around ant debug and ant install and such that does the aii inject, chains to the main task (e.g., debug), then does the aii extract) (for Eclipse, you're on your own) Net: you get your desired functionality without any changes to AOSP, so you can see how well your plan works in practice. Net++: you get a working implementation of the concept to use as a basis for discussions with Xav and the tools team, because a "real" implementation of the concept probably does pretty much the same thing, just under the covers.

[android-developers] Problem in GLSurfaceView??
Hi, I have recently seeen a few cases of the following error from one particular device (Archos 5 running Android 1.6).The stack trace does not cover any code in my app but appears to be a problem within the Google code for the GLSurfaceView that I am using. Stacktrace: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at com.google.android.gles_jni.EGLImpl.eglSwapBuffers(Native Method) at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$EglHelper.swap(GLSurfaceView.java: 901) at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView $GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1114) at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:968) Is this something I am doing? I don't do anything special with the GLSurfaceView so it should be responsible for setting up the OpenGL surface correctly itself. The app works fine for several thousands of users so I wonder why this error should pop up only on this device type. Any ideas how to debug?

This particular functionality belongs in the system layer, not user-space apps. Log an enhancement ticket on b.android.com, and consider writing a patch for the platform that provides the functionality in a privileged app, most likely "Settings.apk".

[android-developers] Re: Using SyncAdapter for syncing application data
Let me clarify: In this case I don't need or want to have the sync be very visible. I just want to enter some data on the device and sync it to the server eventually, so when the network connection is available. Batching would be OK too. Because that's kind of like editing a contact or updating a calendar I thought it would be suitable for a sync adapter, and I guess the sync framework also takes care of some things that I otherwise have to manage myself. Could you elaborate on your statement that a sync adapter would be the right choice when it's tied to UI redrawing? I'd guess that the opposite would be true?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using SyncAdapter for syncing application data
I've been using a sync adapter for application data and it worked out really well. The downside is that there is no API to set the sync interval unless you're targeting froyo. (at least to my knowledge) Kind of defeats the purpose. I've had to roll with alarm manager for pre-froyo clients. My main reason for going the sync adapter route was to play nice with the users ability to manage background sync globally. -Stace On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 8:18 AM, Hugo Visser wrote: > Let me clarify: In this case I don't need or want to have the sync be > very visible.

[android-developers] Re: How to access a AIDL service from different packages?
Thank you very much Mark, Joe.
But below call i.e., binding with the Interface name is not working. I
got the same error, "not able to bind, service not found.."
bindService(new Intent(IScript.class.getName()), svcConn,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
But, below way of binding works. i.e., Binding with the exported
Service.
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.mt.TestRemoteService",
"com.mt.TestRemoteService.MyService");
bindService(i, svcConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
Why bind with Interface name is not working for me?
( Note: I have added an on the with a
Interface )

That means you have no service with an containing an
string that matches the value generated by
IScript.class.getName(). If you are taking that code from one of my
samples, the corresponding manifest from those samples is set up
properly:

This is extremely fragile. If the other application refactors its
code, your code will break.
> Why bind with Interface name is not working for me?
> ( Note: I have added an on the with a

Whatever you think you did, it is not working.
Rather than use my IScript.class.getName() trick, it is probably
simpler for you to just use the literal string. Copy whatever string
is in your and paste it as a string literal in your Intent
constructor.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Need help with a Java issue
Ok, meanwhile a coworker of mine pointed out that this is a known issue with
autoboxing (not showing up in the stacktrace), it was just unknown to me.

[android-developers] Google support number for Droid's sent to Developers from Google?
A few months ago Google sent top market developers a feww phone (Droid or Nexus). I was one of them and received a Droid. I just now called in to activate the Droid on my Verizon account and was told that it is not activatable. They said that the ESN number is tied to a business account and currently active. Verizon said the only thing I can do is to contact Google, who sent me the phone, and work it out with them. The paperwork with the phone came with no numbers or email addresses. I have tried calling the Nexus support line, they could not direct me anywhere. I have tried emailing the automated robots that sent me emails about the phone. Is there anyone at Google that I can contact that would be able to help with this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Google support number for Droid's sent to Developers from Google?
There is a thread that details what you have to do to get your phone activated, essentially it entails moving beyond the dumb bunnies who answer the phone at Verizon and getting to one who can actually think, a tough thing to do. Be persistent, ask for a supervisor and don't take no for an answer.

[android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
Hello everyone!
I'm having another problem with my milestone that I'd like to share
with developers and Android coders: Whenever I run memory-intensive
applications while I have an IM app running in the background, the IM
app is often killed without any user notification whatsoever.
Take this scenario for instance (works every time on my Milestone):
1. A few background apps are already running: Sipdroid, Locale,
Titanium Backup's service...
2. Launch Nimbuzz (or Fring, eBuddy or Meebo - it's reproducible on
all of them)
3. Use lots of memory - for instance with a browser (open lots of
windows will full desktop sites), or by launching multiple memory-
intensive applications at once (Maps Navigation or other navigation
apps work well)
Sure enough, the logs show the following:

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
Simon, I think this should be taken up with developers of these apps. In particular, my recommendations to them would be: - Use a startForeground / setForeground call to mark the service as being important to the user, do it only while the user is logged in. - Display a notification the phone's status bar, so the user knows if the service is still kicked out of memory. - Consider using AlarmManager to restart the service and re-login if there is an active logged in session. -- Kostya 23.06.2010 20:07, Simon Broenner пишет: 1.

Hello Kostya, Do you think that they really all just made a mistake with their programming? I thought that since it happens with all four apps, it must be a general Android problem...

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
What Kostya said. When memory is critically low on the device, apps are killed outright to regain user control. Android was originally designed for mobile phones, and nobody wants to miss an incoming call because they have run out of memory. No notification is passed to the user, because well written apps should handle this themselves. Some will want to alert the user, others will want to carry on where they left off without bothering the user about the event. As a user, you can do the following: A) Contact the developers of Nimbuzz and explain the problem you are having. They have probably not benchmarked against such high load, and as a long-running service the app should really have a recovery process for when it is killed. An alarm manager could periodically check an "is logged in" flag, and automatically log the user back in if the background service was killed. B) Don't try to run so many tasks at once, or purchase a phone with more available memory (depending on your individual requirements).

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
By the way: All the apps have already implemented the notifcation icon in the status bar. The problem is, it doesn't change when the app is killed in the background, so the user doesn't know that it's been killed. :( Kostya Vasilyev wrote: > Simon, > > I think this should be taken up with developers of these apps. > > In particular, my recommendations to them would be: > > - Use a startForeground / setForeground call to mark the service as > being important to the user, do it only while the user is logged in. > > - Display a notification the phone's status bar, so the user knows if > the service is still kicked out of memory. > > - Consider using AlarmManager to restart the service and re-login if > there is an active logged in session. > > -- Kostya > > > 23.06.2010 20:07, Simon Broenner пишет: > > 1.

Other applications don't have access to them at all unless your app has a shared key if I remember correctly, and I think they (the "attacking apps") have to be signed with the same key that your app is as well.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android libraries
That's correct. At the moment the manifest of the library is only used to compile the resource of the library and figure out its package name, so it doesn't need to contain permissions, activities, services, etc... used by the library. However, all projects using the library must include those in their own manifest. In the future (hopefully not too distant) we'll be able to merge the content of the library manifest so that you don't have to do it manually for all projects using the library.

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
Simon, Android 2.x framework has an important change in this area, trying to nudge developers towards better behaving services. Since 2.x, marking a service as "foreground" requires a status bar notification, so the user knows that a service is running. Regarding lingering status bar notifications - I just verified that if a notification is displayed using the new 2.x API, it disappears when the service is killed. -- Kostya 23.06.2010 20:36, Simon Broenner пишет: By the way: All the apps have already implemented the notifcation icon in the status bar. The problem is, it doesn't change when the app is killed in the background, so the user doesn't know that it's been killed. :( Kostya Vasilyev wrote: Simon, I think this should be taken up with developers of these apps. In particular, my recommendations to them would be: - Use a startForeground / setForeground call to mark the service as being important to the user, do it only while the user is logged in. - Display a notification the phone's status bar, so the user knows if the service is still kicked out of memory. - Consider using AlarmManager to restart the service and re-login if there is an active logged in session. -- Kostya 23.06.2010 20:07, Simon Broenner пишет: 1.

[android-developers] ListView Groups? Please
Hey everyone, Is there a way to do groups in a listview? Like I have a list of certain states, each state has its own sublist. I'd sort of like to replicate the HTML optgroup/option setup where you have a parent group then child groups. Is there a way to do this built in or would I have to do something tricky with a custom view for Parent elements then switch the view back to the child element style?

You have different rows return different View types, one for headings and one for the "main" rows. To do this, in addition to having the appropriate smarts in getView() or newView()/bindView() in your custom Adapter, you need to make sure you properly override getItemViewType() and getViewTypeCount().

[android-developers] Re: notifyDataSetChanged() not updating listview after orientation change
thisListView.setAdapter(r_adapter);
r_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
If you do 'setAdapter', calling notifyDataSetChanged() is not
necessary, if i'm not mistaken. But calling an extra
notifyDataSetChanged() should hurt.
Override the adapter's getItem and getCount methods and put a break-
point in these methods. See if these get hit and, if they do, see what
values they return.

[android-developers] OpenGL works incorrectly when projection matrix is set to identity?
I have an OpenGL app that manipulates it's geometry in screen space to acheive some effects, and therefore bypasses OpenGL's matrices by setting modelview and projection to identity.

If I load the app's projection matrix into GL's matrix, and multiply it's inverse with the final geometry prior to drawing it (which is effectively a no-op) it displays correctly.

It's pretty hard to say without more details. I would start out by making sure that you have a valid rendering context.

[android-developers] What is the best way to Scan the SD Card for Images?
1. I searched recusively, and loaded all the images but I think this
is an inefficient way of searching on a phone, plus it means one will
load many irrelevant image files like website images.
2. Is it better to just search /sdcard/dcim ?
3. I used the MediaScanner class but it seems to display an icon with
an exclamation mark, why? I tested the code below in 1.5 and 2.1 and
the result was the same - an icon with an exclamation mark.
Can someone shed some light on this issue?
public class MediaScannerActivity extends Activity implements
MediaScannerConnectionClient {
private static final String SCAN_PATH = "/sdcard/";
private static final String FILE_TYPE = "image/jpeg";
private MediaScannerConnection conn;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.scan);
Button scanBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.scanBtn);
scanBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startScan();
}
});
}
private void startScan() {
if (conn != null) {
conn.disconnect();
}
conn = new MediaScannerConnection(this, this);
conn.connect();
}
@Override
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
conn.scanFile(SCAN_PATH, FILE_TYPE);
}
@Override
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
try {
if (uri != null) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
catch(Exception e){
Log.d("ERROR", e.getMessage());
}
finally {
conn.disconnect();
conn = null;
}
}
}

[android-developers] Filter for crapps (crap apps)
Does anyone know if there is some sort of filter funktion, either in Andoid Market itself or in/as an app? I am SO tired of flipping through all those weird and for me totally useless "View pictures when you end a call" and others telling me that those jap girls are so cute and for real men. I am too old to change horse in the middle of the stream ;=) So a filter would be nice, either by the name of the app (JOON APPS, sowallpaper or the likes) or by the website of the origin. If it is not possible, I would be willing to pay 10 bucks for a filter like that on Android Market - are you listening, developers??? ;=) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Animating an Weather appwidget present in Homescreen.
Hi all, I have tried a weather widget and its working fine. The Weather widget is an app widget and I update the widget once in 6 hrs similar to the application on android site using AlarmManager. Now I want to animate the widget (ImageView) every 100 ms similar to HTC homescreen. I dont think AppWidgets will scale well for this case. How can I implement this widget? I have seen "Custom Homescreens" in previous Android SDK's. Should I have modify the Homescreen widget for doing this or is there any other way.
