 Why android is using alsa in block mode?

Android does not have ALSA.

 As android is opening device
 in block mode I am not open alsa device for playback. It shows device
 is busy as it is used by android.

 By stop media we can stop audio services but it will stop other
 services also which makes video player hang and I am not able to use
 player.

 How to come over it?

I am assuming you are referring to the Android emulator. The Android
emulator uses qemu, and qemu on a Linux host may use ALSA in block
mode -- I am not an expert with qemu or ALSA.

Playing back video in the emulator is unlikely to work, regardless of
ALSA, because the emulator will not run fast enough. For testing video
applications, please use an Android device.

You are welcome to see if there are QEMU environment variables or
something you can use to tailor the way the Android emulator behaves.
Or, you are welcome to grab the tools source code from the Android
open source project, make patches to the emulator launch routines, and
perhaps contribute back those changes.

[android-developers] Re: IntentService - will it block?

2010-06-30 Thread Federico Paolinelli

Just one last question (I hope): will the onStartCommand  be called on
my IntentService? Should I put the code to handle the intent?
I expect I don't have to since it must be handled in onHandleIntent.
What value should I return in onStartCommand? Or is it just enough not
to override it and implement only onHandleIntent?

Thanks a lot for your support.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

Sorry we currently don't support this.

On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 11:37 PM, LeveloKment levelokm...@googlemail.comwrote:

 Hi again Dianne. ;)

 Ok, lets keep the DeviceAdmin out off the topic for now. From what you
 have described it seems to be for corporate use mainly.

 The problem I've tried to fix with my app PatternControl was the
 following:
 People (private Android users) are aware that they have stored a lot
 of sensible data on the smartphones, because of this some of them
 would like to protect this information a little bit better... this is
 where the Lock Pattern of Android (or with Froyo also the Pin or
 Password) comes into the game.

 All the basic lock features that Android provides to the users have
 one disadvantage... Ones enabled, they always on. Each time you want
 to use your phone you have to deal with the lock (pattern, pin or
 password).
 For private users this is often a bit to much and in the end they
 deactivate the security pattern again.

 What is missing from my point of view (and most likely the point of
 view from thousands of users of apps like PatternControl, AutoLock
 etc.), is an option like Enable the lock only if I didn't used the
 phone for xxx minutes.

 Best regards
 Lars

   From my point of view an always on security feature will often be
   disabled (at least by private users). This lowers the security even if
   the origin intention was the other way around.
 
  Not sure I see the connection here...  the API to disable the lock screen
 is
  not supported when a device admin is requiring a lock screen, in which

  there is no way for the user to go around this except to disable that

[android-developers] Re: Can I put a donation link in my free app?

2010-06-30 Thread Michael A.

Hi,

As I understand it (and as Andrew also mentions); yes - you can put a
donation link in your App.

However, you may not offer the user anything in return for the
donation (i.e., no rewards), as that would amount to a sale and
therefore be in violation of the TOS which require sales to go through
the market payment processor.

If there is a problem, that would seem to be the critical clause.

Re: [android-developers] Question about .asec (encryption) on Froyo 2.2 (Emulator)

Apps on SD card are stored in an encrypted container for platform security
purposes -- so that other applications can not modify or corrupt them.  When
mounting the SD card, these containers are mounted so that they can be
accessed in the same way as apps stored in internal storage.

On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 9:37 PM, Mathias Lin m...@mathiaslin.com wrote:

 Hi,

 can somebody please explain how asec exactly works? I couldn't find much
 info about it on the mailing list or elsewhere.

 I installed my app on the emulator with 2.2 and onto the sdcard. When I
 browse via adb shell, I can see that the encrypted app file lies under
 /mnt/secure/asec/com.myapp-1.asec but it also lies as plain apk file
 unencrypted at /mnt/asec/com.myapp-1/pkg.apk as well and I can do a 'adb
 pull' without special permissions and unzip it to see it's content.

 Unfortuntately my N1 is in repair and I cannot check on a real device right
 now - but wondering, why can I still access the plain apk so easily (at
 least on the emulator)?

[android-developers] HTC Hero Update 2.1 -- Broke Audio Streaming ????

2010-06-30 Thread MobDev

Hi there,
I have installed the 2.1 update on my HTC Hero yesterday, and happy as
a puppy I instaleld my streaming app... Just to discover that it won't
stream decently... It has to stream an mp3 stream and it works on my
ADP 1.6 device, on a Samsung Galaxy S test-device (with 2.1) and on
the 2.1 emulator...
Logcat is gettign the follwoing errors :

06-30 10:14:18.360: INFO/AudioPolicyService(56): stopOutput(): before

06-30 10:14:21.259: DEBUG/dalvikvm(1906): GC freed 28 objects / 1944

The result is a playing player, which stops (pauzes) every 10 seconds,
the restarts... This will work for about 8-10 restarts and then will
simply stop without ever thrwoing an exception or something like
that... Which makes it somewhat difficult (if not impossible) to catch
for us developers...
So has anyone been experiencing the same problem ? Does anyone have a
clue if in this update another OpenCore lib has been used ? Does
anyone have any solution ?

Why the IntentService has all the onBind facilities if it will die
when it finish its job?

Thanks a lot in advance,

[android-developers] Re: widget on lockscreen

2010-06-30 Thread Al Sutton

It's a firmware thing, so yes, HTCs Sense can do it, but only because
HTC wrote the firmware.

Imho it's not a gerat idea anyway. One reason for having a lock screen
is that it stops things happening when your device is put somewhere
where it may get pressure on the screen which may cause undesirable
behaviour (e.g. in a bag or pocket), so by putting your controls on
the lock screen you run the risk of someone having the music paused or
skipped due to a knock on the screen and then having to dig the device
out in order to re-start/re-position playback.

[android-developers] Re: How to detect presence of camera on an Android device.

2010-06-30 Thread Indicator Veritatis

Yes, this is the better method. The only thing I would add is that the
class PackageManager is itself in the Java package android.content.pm
-- not an obvious place, but not too hard to figure out.

On Jun 29, 5:12 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote:
 Use PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA).

 Of course if your app requires a camera, you should declare so in your
 manifest so that devices without a camera won't see it.

[android-developers] How to support multi-project development in just one copy of Android source code?

2010-06-30 Thread Alvin

Hello everybody.
For device manufacturers which has 10+ projects running
simultaneously , it is important to compile all the projects rapidly
in the same copy of source tree. These projects often have following
things in common:
* Some applications of them may have different resources: layouts,
strings etc.
* Some applications of them may be slightly different in some .java
source files.
* The framework layer implementation could also be slightly different
in both java and resource files.
* Every project has its unique thirdparty applications, resources like
ringtones, wallpapers which are dedicated to certain carrier.

We are trying to figure out a way to compile such projects
independently and cleanly in the same copy of source code, or we will
end up with chaos. Here is some thoughts of mine:
* I find PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS may be useful for our situation. But
it is only for resources, isn't it?
* For java source files, maybe we can change LOCAL_SRC_FILES in
Android.mk like this:
if project a
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += a/file.java
else if project b
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += b/file.java
endif
But I think this is sort of ugly. Is there any better way?
* What about assets? I don't find a way to override default asset
files.

Would you please share your experience or opinion? Thank you.

Best Regards,
Alvin

 You simply need to use setFillAfter(true).

That only works if the widget is non-interactive. Otherwise,
setFillAfter() moves the pixels, but the hot spots for interaction
remain at the old location.

For interactive widgets, you should set up an AnimationListener, and
when the animation ends, modify the layout to have the widget reside
at your desired new location.

[android-developers] Drawable not maintaining size within an ImageView

2010-06-30 Thread Cardy

Hi,

I'm trying to add a drawable to a layout, using an ImageView, but the
drawable doesn't maintain its size and is rendered at 1dp x 1dp.

I've called ImageView.setAdjustViewBounds as per the android
documentation but this doesn't seem to help. The Drawable is only
visible when the ImageView's height and width are set and the drawable
is then rendered at those dimensions.

Here's the code and layout:

rect_blue.xml
---

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:height=50dp android:width=100dp android:shape=rectangle
solid android:color=#00FF /
corners android:radius=5dp /
/shape

FlipView.java (Derived from FrameLayout)
---

ImageView drawableContainer = new ImageView(context);
drawableContainer.setImageResource(R.drawable.rect_blue);
drawableContainer.setAdjustViewBounds(true);

this.AddView(drawableContainer);

Layout Overview
--

RelativeLayout
 - FrameLayout
  - ImageView (With drawable set as content)

I'm sure I'm doing pretty much exacly the same as the example here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html.
Could it be because I'm using a FrameLayout that this is not working?

Thanks!

[android-developers] HTC Sense and messaging

2010-06-30 Thread arthur

Hello,

I would like my application to be an alternative to view messages and
calls. There are 3 intents to register for the 3 following actions:
list messages, read 1 sms, and check calls.

My issue is that android doesn't propose any choices for listing
several SMS but only launches the android native messaging app. This
is happening only on HTC Desire. Everything is working fine on G1,
Nexus and emulators 1.x and 2.x.

So I am thinking:

1. maybe I need to add something in the manifest? I tried already many
things as you can guess
2. HTC Sense is somehow forcing to use the messaging app to list
messages?

Can you comment on this please?

Thanks,

Arthur


My manifest:

//Intent filter to register my app for listing text messages
intent-filter
 action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
 category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
 data android:mimeType=vnd.android-dir/mms-sms /
/intent-filter

//Intent filter to register my app for listing viewing text messages
and view calls
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE /
data android:mimeType=vnd.android.cursor.dir/calls /
data android:mimeType=vnd.android-dir/mms-sms /

There are no documented MIME types for SMS. Anything that is not
documented is subject to change by device manufacturers. Similarly,
there are no documented content providers for SMS messages.

While there is a documented MIME type for the call log, I would not be
surprised if device manufacturers elect not to honor it. This may or
may not be part of the Compatibility Test Suite.

[android-developers] ContentProvider onCreate() onDestroy()

2010-06-30 Thread Natanael Arndt


Hello,
when writing a ContentProvider I have to implement the 
onCreate()-method, in which I establish my database connection.
But to write the changes I made to the database I have to close the 
database on some point.
Does something like a onDestroy()-method exist for ContentProviders or 
is there some intent I have to listen to, which is fired before killing 
my process?

Android does not have ALSA.

As android is opening device
in block mode I am not open alsa device for playback. It shows device
is busy as it is used by android.

By stop media we can stop audio services but it will stop other
services also which makes video player hang and I am not able to use
player.

How to come over it?

I am assuming you are referring to the Android emulator. The Android
emulator uses qemu, and qemu on a Linux host may use ALSA in block
mode -- I am not an expert with qemu or ALSA.

Playing back video in the emulator is unlikely to work, regardless of
ALSA, because the emulator will not run fast enough. For testing video
applications, please use an Android device.

You are welcome to see if there are QEMU environment variables or
something you can use to tailor the way the Android emulator behaves.
Or, you are welcome to grab the tools source code from the Android
open source project, make patches to the emulator launch routines, and
perhaps contribute back those changes.

[android-developers] How to replicate the Browser's (WebView?) anchor highlight poly-polygon?

2010-06-30 Thread jamesc

Hi

As per the title really; when the user taps a link, it gets
highlighted by a multi-coloured surround.  What I'm interested in is
how the multi-coloured effect is achieved (i.e. on the Nexus One, it
has a an orange line sandwiched between red lines).  I'm assuming
(perhaps incorrectly, of course) that it is not three different
shapes, but some sort of Paint setting.  I've had a quick look in the
source, but nothing jumps out immediately.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Cheers

James

[android-developers] How to check the version of my application on the android market programatically

2010-06-30 Thread Shrinivas

I want to implement the versioning feature for my application
manually. For that I intend to compare the application version
currently installed on the device and the application version present
on android market.

I can get the installed application's version using PackageManager ,
but how to find out the version of the application on the android
market programatically ?

Can anyone please help me on this.

I did try that, but this doesn't work.

 Of course if your app requires a camera, you should declare so in your

Definitely an improvement BUT it only shows comments written in English for

Either Google should show me the other comments too and I can translate them

  Hi again Dianne. ;)

  Ok, lets keep the DeviceAdmin out off the topic for now. From what you
  have described it seems to be for corporate use mainly.

  The problem I've tried to fix with my app PatternControl was the
  following:
  People (private Android users) are aware that they have stored a lot
  of sensible data on the smartphones, because of this some of them
  would like to protect this information a little bit better... this is
  where the Lock Pattern of Android (or with Froyo also the Pin or
  Password) comes into the game.

  All the basic lock features that Android provides to the users have
  one disadvantage... Ones enabled, they always on. Each time you want
  to use your phone you have to deal with the lock (pattern, pin or
  password).
  For private users this is often a bit to much and in the end they
  deactivate the security pattern again.

  What is missing from my point of view (and most likely the point of
  view from thousands of users of apps like PatternControl, AutoLock
  etc.), is an option like Enable the lock only if I didn't used the
  phone for xxx minutes.

  Best regards
  Lars

   Sorry I am not understanding that paragraph.

From my point of view an always on security feature will often be
disabled (at least by private users). This lowers the security even if
the origin intention was the other way around.

   Not sure I see the connection here...  the API to disable the lock screen
  is
   not supported when a device admin is requiring a lock screen, in which
  case
   there is no way for the user to go around this except to disable that
  device
   admin, and thus lose all access to whatever corp server the admin is
   associated with.  And if their preference is to be able to not have a

   screen at the expense of not having their corp server access...  well,
  that
   is fine for all.

It's as per the error message that you get. When you create a view in
one thread (like e.g. within your main activity), you can not change
this view from another thread. There are various ways how to work
around this.

One is as follows:
In your thread, create a sub-class:

public class ChangeView implements java.lang.Runnable {
public void run() {
//Do whatever changes to the view need to be done
}
}

Create an instance of this class in your thread. Whenever you need the
code in the class to be executed, post it towards your main view via
view.post().

[android-developers] Best way to change text styles in a list? (performance)

2010-06-30 Thread Connick

Hi all,

Ever since I added conditional text formatting on my list items I've noticed
a performance drop. It's still usable but I'm somewhat obsessive about
performance/experience so I would really like to tweak my approach as best I
can. The following snippet is how I'm achieving my conditional formatting.
Is this the only way? (Perf drop appears to be related to making TextViews
spannable)

if( w.state.equalsIgnoreCase( Tasks.STATE_READ ))
{
  s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );
  i.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL ), 0, i.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

  w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
  w.getDeadline().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
}
else
{
  s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );
  i.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ), 0, i.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

  w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
  w.getDeadline().setTextColor( 0x );
 }

Thanks

 Yes, would like to be able to respond to each comment (triggering an email
 to the user) and optionally make that response public so that other users
 can see it.


I really hope this is where this is going. It's nice that they're finally
catching up on extremely basic functionality that 3rd party sites have had
for however long, but let's be honest - it's still fairly useless save for
the convenience factor.

Re: [android-developers] Best way to change text styles in a list? (performance)

1. w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD ); appears to be the
same in both branches of your if(), meaning it probably does not need
to be called every time.

2. Create private data members for new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL )
and new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ) and reference those data members,
rather than creating new instances every time.

3. If s and i are TextViews, skip the Spannable stuff and just call
setTypeface() (using cached normal and bold Typeface objects)

I wouldn't say useless, the comment feed looks to be real-time, and
therefore more up-to-date than Cyrket and other sites (based on what
I've seen in my app listings). This would be useful for the early
stages of an app, when the developer is trying to keep on top of the
reviews coming in. Before, this could only be done if you owned a
phone and kept checking the Market app.

[android-developers] adb is broken after upgrade to Froyo

2010-06-30 Thread Mina Shokry

Hello guys,

I upgraded my Nexus from Eclair (ERE27) to Froyo (FRF85b) using the
officially released image. I downloaded it from
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-ota...,
renamed it to update.zip and installed it normally.

The update completes smoothly, but after it finishes, the adb is
broken. Any trial to issue adb shell or other adb commands. I get
error: device not found. Everything was fine before I install the
update. so, I am accusing it.

Can anyone help?

I'd like to add that, before the official release, I tried many
unofficial releases like FRF50 and adb wasn't working on them so, I
downgraded to ERE27 again and restored adb. I thought this might be
some instability in unreleased version. but the final version still
has the same problem.

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
BTW, I am on ubuntu 10.04 and I have correct rule files (they were
working before the upgrade).

[android-developers] Application state being lost

2010-06-30 Thread stanlick

I have a situation where my input fields are losing their contents.  I
have reviewed the sections on saving instance state and believe I have
coded it correctly, however, the problem persists.  I actually wonder
if the problem might have to do with a second instance of the
application running as opposed to the original instance being
resumed.  The reason I say this is because I have seen times where my
application presents itself as an empty page and hitting the return
button displays my application with all the data as it had been
entered.  Can you tell me more about the manifest entries concerning
android:alwaysRetainTaskState=true
and/or android:launchMode=singleTask  Also, I discovered an
attribute on the EditText control called android:saveEnabled=true.

Can you assist in clearing up this seemingly trivial use case?

Peace,
Scott

Re: [android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?

2010-06-30 Thread Brad Gies



I'm a little late on this thread, but I just wanted to say that your 
description of the Problem is as clear (and accurate) a description as 
I have seen, and I am exactly the kind of user you are describing :).


I would love to have the option of setting two values for the screen 
lock. One that requires a Password/PIN to log in .. and another for the 
screen locking. In my case, I would set the Password/PIN option to a 
very high value, say about 6 hours.. That way, if my phone was stolen, 
or lost, it would only be usable for that first day, and it would not be 
much of a pain for me to login once a day.


The OTHER thing that GOOGLE should do is to offer an option to brick 
your phone from your GOOGLE email account, and maybe ANY Google app. As 
you need a GOOGLE email account to setup your phone, and it would likely 
be one of the first places a thief would look for sensitive information. 
It wouldn't be that hard to do... just issue a GUID type number to the 
phone when you tell it to brick itself... and that number is now your 
PIN.. and then offer the user a secure place to retrieve that GUID if 
the phone is found. It could even be such simple security as it is only 
shown on the email account 24 hours or more after the phone is bricked. 
If Google wants some good PR, having a few good news stories about 
someone's phone being stolen, and how easy it was to brick the phone to 
keep their sensitive information secret would certainly go a long way :)


Anway.. my take on the issue..

Brad.




following:
People (private Android users) are aware that they have stored a lot
of sensible data on the smartphones, because of this some of them
would like to protect this information a little bit better... this is
where the Lock Pattern of Android (or with Froyo also the Pin or
Password) comes into the game.
   
 

All the basic lock features that Android provides to the users have
one disadvantage... Ones enabled, they always on. Each time you want
to use your phone you have to deal with the lock (pattern, pin or
password).
For private users this is often a bit to much and in the end they
deactivate the security pattern again.
   
 

What is missing from my point of view (and most likely the point of
view from thousands of users of apps like PatternControl, AutoLock
etc.), is an option like Enable the lock only if I didn't used the
phone for xxx minutes.
   
 

Best regards
Lars

[android-developers] Re: determine the cache size for bitmaps

2010-06-30 Thread Streets Of Boston

Depends on the size of the bitmaps.

If they are for display only, i would advise loading them with RGB_565
(not ARGB_). This way, an image with 'width' by 'height' pixels
will take up 'width*height*2' MByte.

Your app's total available memory is either 16MByte (1st gen phones)
or 24MByte (2nd gen phones, larger screens).

In my app, i allow about half of the available memory for bitmaps,
i.e. 8MByte or 12MByte.But this is pushing it

[android-developers] Re: Media.insertImage locked to heavy compression

2010-06-30 Thread Streets Of Boston

You can put any file name in the image-provider's DATA column
(_data).

As long as your image is in the image-provider, other gallery apps
will see your image.

If you don't add the image yourself
(getContentProvider().insert(...)), then the MediaScanner will do this
for you when it's run (upon remount of your SD or Phone storage).

Note that using MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI only
allows for inserting/handling images on your SD-card. Any phone
without an SD card (many HTC Incredibles, for example) won't run your
app properly.

 I'm quite happy writing my image files manually, provided that:

   had been previously saved at maximum quality and was ~6MB. After
   passing the path to Media.insertImage, the resultant copy (still

   I passed in another copy of the 3000x2000 image, this one compressed

   I'm wondering if there's a way to specify the compression when images

   I'm also wondering why this is recompressing jpgs, rather than simply
   copying them intoDCIM. A side-effect of opening and re-compressing
   these images is that it imposes a rather low VM cap on what
   insertImage can handle. I'm getting out-of-memory errors when trying

says:

Storage
modify/delete SD card contents

Network communications
full internet access

Phone calls
read phone state and identity

My app is a simple reference doc that has a few outside web links
embedded in it. It does nothing to the sd card, let alone the phone.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Media.insertImage locked to heavy compression

The standard external storage directories have been formally defined:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.htmlI would
suggest using DIRECTORY_PICTURES instead of DCIM unless you really do want
to be like a camera app in that way.

MediaScannerConnection is an API that allows you to explicitly run the media
scanner:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaScannerConnection.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaScannerConnection.htmlSample
code is here:

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/content/ExternalStorage.html

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/content/ExternalStorage.htmlNote
that the sample code uses some improved APIs in Froyo (and the newly defined
directory constants), but can be adjusted to work on older versions.

- i can figure out a way to force gallery to refresh from the
filesystem (this may be the sticking point)

Any thoughts?

Compress (Bitmap.compress) the image yourself into a file.
Then use the

getContentProvider().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
)
to insert your image into the database/content-provider.

When inserting, you can create a ContentValues name-value pair with
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA for the name and the fully qualified file-
path to the image for the value.

So from what I can tell Media.insertImage is locked to heavy
compression on all images. This includes when passing in the path to
a
photo in the filesystem. As a test I used a 3000x2000 pixel jpg which
had been previously saved at maximum quality and was ~6MB. After
passing the path to Media.insertImage, the resultant copy (still
3000x2000) is 623KB.

I passed in another copy of the 3000x2000 image, this one compressed
down to 393KB. After Media.insertImage, the image filesize is 492KB.

I'm wondering if there's a way to specify the compression when images
are saved by insertImage.

I'm also wondering why this is recompressing jpgs, rather than simply
copying them intoDCIM. A side-effect of opening and re-compressing
these images is that it imposes a rather low VM cap on what
insertImage can handle. I'm getting out-of-memory errors when trying
to pass the path of a 10 megapixel image.

As an aside: are there any problems with a developer creating their
own file/folder structure underDCIM? Is this frowned upon?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Re: [android-developers] Are there default permissions added to apps?

If your app doesn't target SDK version = 4, then these are added, because
prior to that apps had free access to the things these permissions protect.

 My app is a simple reference doc that has a few outside web links

   Hi again Dianne. ;)
 
   Ok, lets keep the DeviceAdmin out off the topic for now. From what you
   have described it seems to be for corporate use mainly.
 
   The problem I've tried to fix with my app PatternControl was the
   following:
   People (private Android users) are aware that they have stored a lot
   of sensible data on the smartphones, because of this some of them
   would like to protect this information a little bit better... this is
   where the Lock Pattern of Android (or with Froyo also the Pin or
   Password) comes into the game.
 
   All the basic lock features that Android provides to the users have
   one disadvantage... Ones enabled, they always on. Each time you want
   to use your phone you have to deal with the lock (pattern, pin or
   password).
   For private users this is often a bit to much and in the end they
   deactivate the security pattern again.
 
   What is missing from my point of view (and most likely the point of
   view from thousands of users of apps like PatternControl, AutoLock
   etc.), is an option like Enable the lock only if I didn't used the
   phone for xxx minutes.
 
   Best regards
   Lars

Sorry I am not understanding that paragraph.
 
 From my point of view an always on security feature will often be
 disabled (at least by private users). This lowers the security even
 if
 the origin intention was the other way around.
 
Not sure I see the connection here...  the API to disable the lock
 screen
   is
not supported when a device admin is requiring a lock screen, in
 which
   case
there is no way for the user to go around this except to disable that
   device
admin, and thus lose all access to whatever corp server the admin is
associated with.  And if their preference is to be able to not have a
   lock
screen at the expense of not having their corp server access...
  well,
   that
is fine for all.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Bump is letting users send paid apps?

Installed .apks are world-readable, and have always been this way.  The only
except is forward-locked apps; that is that a forward-locked app is, one
that others can't read (and that is the reason for the negatives to
forward-locked apps, because there still needs to be a world readable file

[android-developers] Re: Bump is letting users send paid apps?

2010-06-30 Thread String

Keep in mind that many (most?) devs have removed copy-protection from
their paid apps, due to it hindering market visibility. And a non-copy-
protected app, paid or not, is available to be copied by anyone, or
any other app.

Doesn't make it right, and I have to say I'll lose respect for Bump if
they're doing this, but there's nothing to prevent it.

[android-developers] Getting ParserConfigurationException when trying to insert a new Calendar.

 I am developing an Android app which creates a new calendar on the

 Though the calendar does get created, I get an exception .

service.insert(postUrl, calendar);

Re: [android-developers] Re: User comments available in the developer console!


Yeah, I noticed this too.

However, I would like to suggest that uninstall notices go to a separate 
comment thread, available only in the Developer Console.


As far as responding to comments - I am with everyone on this one 1000%. 
Would be great to have two ways to respond - to the same comment stream 
visible to everyone (in Market, too) and privately to the user who 
posted this. Android Market application would need to have an inbox to 
support this.


The first option - public response - would be useful for clarifying 
misunderstandings about the app, which can then affect other users's 
opinion about using and/or installing.


The second option would be really useful for resolving rare bugs - i.e 
sending a message to the user perhaps asking to install a version with 
debug logging, etc.


Both my apps have email for feedback prominently displayed, yet only few 
contact me when they have real problems or issues caused by their own 
misunderstanding. If I was able to respond to comments, it would make 
for better user experience.

 Often it is pretty easy to add a button to your app's screen that opens the
 menu and also lets users know it is available just by being there, at least.


Sure it's easy - and also a major waste of limit screen space for a one-time
function.

I get your point about some people not realizing functionality is there, but
again, it's a one-time learning experience that really doesn't justify a
dedicated button or whatever, IMO.

The skipping entries in the ADC2 app, for example, was just poorly
implemented - that should have been a dedicated button with the frequency in
which it was going to be used.

Use a quick start dialog on the user's first run to let them know this
exists, or Toast messages as Tips as they navigate the screens perhaps.

[android-developers] OpenGL ES Tutorials

2010-06-30 Thread sws-vinpa

Hello everyone,

As I am one who cannot find any decent Android-based OpenGL ES
references, I have decided to start one.  You can check it out at
http://www.vincepascuzzi.com.  As I am not a seasoned GL programmer,
any and all comments and/or questions are greatly appreciated!

My mission is to first create an OpenGL version of an application on
Mac OS X, and then port to Android.  Once the port is done, I go
through each program, step-by-step, and contrast and compare how the
port was done.   I also explicitly point out any and all differences
between the two, subtle or obvious.

I hope you all will enjoy them and will find them useful!

[android-developers] Froyo still breaks compatibility

2010-06-30 Thread webmonkey

You can no longer send the ACTION_ATTACH_DATA intent with an image URI
to a custom content provider without crashing the Gallery app.

This bug was reported more than a month ago.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8543  It is a stupid
bug that is super easy to fix, and as soon as Froyo was open sourced a
patch was submitted. Still Froyo was officially released and the bug
remains leaving developers who use this with an app that is no longer
compatible and no easy way to work around it for 2.2.

There are other bugs that also have not been acknowledged. This 'open'
thing is great but it is not of much use this way.
