[android-developers] Re: Water ripple effect
Mansoor, The effect that comes on the N1/Droid is a pixel shader program written using the RenderScript library. There are several algorithms to simulate fluid dynamics, which include but are not limited to: 1) Radius ripples using a pixel shader 2) Fluid dynamics either in a vertex shader or pixel shader or calculated on CPU If you don't know where to start, you'll want to check out a few graphics programming books and opengl books. I implemented a fluid dynamics algorithm as a live wallpaper and called it live waterpaper. It has a few issues at the moment (I haven't had any time to work on it in months) but the algorithm works well. It's a CPU-side fluid dynamics algorithm which manipulates a grid of textured verts on a full-screen perspective projection. It's fairly convincing, especially when using a watery texture like coral. Start slow, get little things working and build your way up. If you stick with it long enough, you'll figure it out.

The speed in the emulator is related to the performance of your computer. I do e.g. get a very bad refresh rate on my laptop, and better refresh rates on my desktop.

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?
G1 obsolete? Well, almost. But take a look at the famous Platform Version 'dashboard' at http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html. It shows that as many as 21.3% of phones connecting to the market are still on 1.5. 45% are running 1.6 or 1.5. So by that standard the G1 is not obsolete, since it is already on 1.6. Now sure, the hardware is slow and the runtime memory limited compared to the hot new phones running 2.1 and accounting for 53% of the market. But it would be a mistake to design your app -- or test your app -- on only the latest and greatest (unless, of course, your app relies on features only available on the latest hardware). Especially when 45% of the market is still running 1.6 or earlier. When you are looking for development hardware, and are limited in budget, there is really no point in buying "the most popular one". You need a more general test platform than that. The G1 meets that description since an application that runs correctly on the G1 will run correctly on many other platforms as well. One cannot say the same for the Droid.

in 2.1 and below, they are added to the music library immediately

Re: [android-developers] Re: Build Error
My first response when looking at your error was that you need to point your libz.so to your 32 bit version. I would try that first and see if that works.

[android-developers] Add Media Files to Library in Froyo
I have develop and app that downloads music files and should add them
to the music library. I use the following class to do this:
public class MediaScannerNotifier implements
MediaScannerConnectionClient {
private Context mContext;
private MediaScannerConnection mConnection;
private String mPath;
private String mMimeType;
public MediaScannerNotifier(Context context, String path, String
mimeType) {
mContext = context;
mPath = path;
mMimeType = mimeType;
mConnection = new MediaScannerConnection(context, this);
mConnection.connect();
}
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
Log.e("SCANNER","SCAN CONNECTED");
mConnection.scanFile(mPath, mMimeType);
}
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Log.e("SCANNER","SCAN COMPLETED "+path+" "+uri);
mConnection.disconnect();
mContext = null;
}
}
Everything works ok with android 2.1 and below. But, in android 2.2,
the media files do not get added to my music library. :( I know there
were some changes in froyo API for music scanning, but I am unsure why
the above no longer works.
By the way, everything seems to scan fine - i.e. I get ok log messages
- E/SCANNER ( 339): SCAN COMPLETED /sdcard/EMusic/Josh Woodward/
Breadcrumbs/TheVoices.mp3 content://media/internal/audio/media/4
Any idea on what to change to make media scanning work again in froyo?

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?
My personal opinion here... Don't get a G1 - they are obsolete, hardly any of them exist in the real world and they are stuck on Android 1.6. If you want to get a good device that is the most popular one, get a Motorola Droid, the one with the keyboard. There are more of these in the wild than any other device. If you app runs on this one, then you are pretty much good to go. The Droid should get an update to Froyo starting on the 15th of this month, if the rumors can be believed, right now it's on 2.1-update1. You can get a used Droid on eBay for about $200 or so. It doesn't run on AT&T but so what? AT&T will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S line at some point, you might want to wait for that one to be released. The only downside is AT&T will offer a crippled version that can't accept non-market apps. AT&T sucks, what else can you say? The bottom line is for app development, pretty much any device will do. You don't need a "development" device, but you absolutely will need a real one to debug your app. The emulator is nice for quick checks but it isn't much use in finding out if your app will really work, or for figuring out why it doesn't. The sensors on the emulator leave a lot to be desired as well, obviously, shaking your computer isn't going to do much. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?
I am doing much as you are considering: using a G1 for development, only rarely putting my AT&T sim into it. I usually connect by WiFi. My impressions of the G1, based on this one unit only, are: 1) it is rather slow, often to the point of being unresponsive to UI 2) WiFi connection is NOT reliable 3) I am very underwhelmed by the way they implement the trackball: it is just silly how far I have to roll it before it goes to the next line of text (or whatever). 4) both the accelerometer and the switch detecting when the keyboard has been slid out are unreliable. 5) battery life is OK as long as you don't try to use it:( The WiFi is the major culprit for draining the battery. Keep that off and the battery will last a good long time. Despite all that, I am finding it quite workable for development. Of course, it helps that my apps to date have not made extensive use of the network. But it has the right screen size for testing your Views to make sure they work on most phones in both orientations. Of course, you should not rely on this alone, you should test in the simulator for other sizes/densities and both orientations.

[android-developers] Re: android emulator
Forever is such a long time... Seriously: unless you really did wait at least 3 full minutes, what you just described, unfortunately, is completely normal; you will have to wait longer if your simulated SD Card is big. That is why people launch the emulator at the beginning of their work session and then keep it running, killing it only when absolutely necessary (which is rare). OTOH, if among the many message in the Console, you never see "adb is running normally", then yes, you do have a problem. In that case, you might have to post all the many error messages for us to figure out what is going on. But since they are so many, I would suggest first making sure you have the tools all installed (such as adb itself) where Eclipse can find them, posting the error messages only if it still fails to launch after that has been checked (and corrected as necessary).

[android-developers] Re: Problems installing Eclipse with Android.
Glancing through this thread, I can see it has been a frustrating experience for both of you. So I feel a little sheeping about asking for more details, yet it must be done, so I have to ask: where are you seeing these errors? More specifically, which error messages are you referring to? The same Null Pointer Exception the OP referred to at first, or are you referring to the little red 'x' marks the Eclipse UI puts up whenever it THINKS you have an error? The reason I ask is because what you so briefly describe does not sound like the same thing the OP originally described: it sounds rather like what I used to see all the time, that Eclipse trips over its own two left feet trying to print error messages to the log as it stubbornly tries to interpret the XML code I haven't finished typing yet. If that is what you are seeing, there are two workarounds: 1) get at least 3G of RAM on your machine, so that Eclipse can waste cycles with these error messages and still have some to spare or 2) turn off the automatic build feature, so that it interprets it only when you say it is ready to be interpreted. Before I upgraded to 3G of RAM, I was turning the automatic build feature on and off to get around the things that don't work right in either state:( Sometimes, Eclipse fails to detect the need to rebuild the R.java file, which failure is much more rare when automatic build is turned on. BTW: I would definitely go ahead and load the code for all the different version targets. If you do get to the point of doing production code, you really do want to test it on all versions from at least 1.6 through 2.1. You really should do 1.5 through 2.2, since 2.2 is likely to prove the latest version until 3.0 is released (no sooner than October), and about 20%-30% of the phones out there are still 1.5.

The legal & logistical issues are of course why this is not just a technical issue, but after 2 years? There are dozens upon dozens of digital distribution platforms out there - some of them started after the Android market - that manage to handle purchase and developer sales from multiple countries. It may not be trivial issue, but it is not rocket science either. The only explanation that really makes sense is that Google just isn't interested (i.e., to prioritize it). I'll second your suggestion to list at alternative markets when possible. The Android market only holds the position it has because it is the default market on Android and thus holds a monopoly on the users of this "open" system.

And even if you have a hundred activities and the user can't remember which ones have a menu, it takes about 1 second to press the menu button to determine if there is one or not.

You need to use the data from the GPS of the phone. Some GPS's have a built in speed calculator so all you need to do is capture this measurement and display it. Or if it only does positioning you need to do some math to calculate the speed depending on how far you've gone over time. Sorry I can't say anything specific, I haven't really looked into GPS use yet.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Whether to use a Service or Thread for Http Connection?
It's not usually necessary to use a service for a quick network fetch. For example, when the user clicks a button that requires a network request that takes typically less than a few seconds and expects result displayed in same activity, just run the AsynTask in the activity. Services are for running tasks when the activity is no longer visible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] screen occasionally goes blank on Milestones
I have an application I am currently working on for a client which is suffering from a particularly hard to debug problem. Every so often, the device screen will go blank, not just while running my application, but entirely. If I press the home button, for instance, it's still blank. This happens fairly rarely ( I myself have only seen it once or twice in a couple of months, and unfortunately couldn't gather log information immediately when it happened. What log info I was able to gather seemed to show that the phone continued to run properly - I was still seeing events in the log file - the screen was just blank ). So far, this has only been observed while running on Motorola Milestones ( this may or may not be coincidence - it's hard to tell given the infrequency of occurance ). Has anyone else observed anything similar? Any suggestions as to possible causes/ways of debugging?

[android-developers] Re: New to android finally leaving Windows !!!
To get started you can use the SDK and the emulators it provides (you don't need a device to dive in, though yes you will want one at some point for further testing). http://developer.android.com/intl/es/guide/index.html You can also buy a developer device: http://android.brightstarcorp.com/index.htm. Honestly though, the dev phone 2, while unlocked (and perfect for AT&T) is a bit pricey for the hardware you get. The N1 is a better option IMO: http://www.google.com/phone (there is an AT&T version, while they last, but not cheap). That or if your contract is up you can wait a bit and get a subsidized Samsung Captivate: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/06/samsung-android-phone-heads-to-att/.

Or, maybe you could try a GradientDrawable? Looks like that's what you
are after. It has a setStroke method.

[android-developers] options menu problems with SurfaceView and ListView
In my application, I have extended SurfaceView and ListView. I create
a LinearLayout as below
mainForm = new LinearLayout(this);
mainForm.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
mainForm.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
I then add the SurfaceView and ListView to the mainForm and then
setContentView(mainForm);
I also override onPrepareOptionsMenu and call menu.clear() and then
dynamically create menus each time the menu button is pressed by the
user.
The application loads fine and the SurfaceView works fine as I
directly draw images to it in a sleep loop.
The ListView displays items and is desined to refreshed with new
items.
The options menu also displays once as well.
However, once the SurfaceView is running and the ListView is loaded, a
second call to onPrepareOptionsMenu by pressing the menu key disrupts
the SurfaceView drawing, causing it to get stuck on the last image it
was drawing. But the list view does refresh the adapter to change
content once. After that, the application is hung and the SurfaceView
keeps playing the same images in a random order.
I am using runOnUiThread to update the views in the mainForm
(LinearLayout) and the Lunar Landing template for the SurfaceView as
shown below
In Activity
public void ViewsUpdate() {
System.out.println("Before ViewsUpdate method");
runOnUiThread(new updateDoer());
}
public class updateDoer implements Runnable {
public updateDoer(){
}
public void run() {
contentDone2();
viewForm.invalidate();
//viewForm is where the ListView and other views are added
}
}
In SurfaceView
private void drawSurfaceView(){
Canvas c = null;
try {
c = mSurfaceHolder.lockCanvas(null);
synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) {
if (mMode == STATE_RUNNING)
doDraw(c);
}
} finally {
// do this in a finally so that if an exception is
thrown
// during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an
// inconsistent state
if (c != null) {
mSurfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
}
}
}
I am at a loss as to why everything gets clobbered after the options
menu is built and displayed the second time.

[android-developers] Figuring out the test cases for Android-based Signal Meter
http://nyti.ms/9ZG6Gw Taking a cue from the recent "flaw" in Apple iPhone's signal meter, I was wondering what would be the test cases for consideration during Android-based mobile device testing by a product team? Are there any Android-based testing frameworks that support the simulation of this feature? Thanks for any pointers.

[android-developers] Re: Smooth Image Rotation with Gesture Control?
This would be really easy to implement using Ansca Corona (http:// www.anscamobile.com). We take care of all the OpenGL rendering as well as the multi-screen resolution issues.

[android-developers] Power Consumption by Android Phone
I have a dated T-Mobile Dash that runs Windows Mobile 6.x. For example, if I run the camera application and use the browser for a few minutes, the battery power consumption is significantly higher (understandably) than when these applications are turned off. Idle (non-active) mobile apps, by default, drain the battery unless the user manually invokes the Task Manager and kills these non-active apps after initial usage. I haven't examined Android phones closely but the thought that occurred to me was the following. Why don't we include an option in the device profile where a mobile application would either terminate or be in a state where there is fractional battery power consumption so that a large majority of the existing battery power could be leveraged by the "active" mobile apps that ultimately serve to enhance the mobile user experience.

[android-developers] Detecting where has been touched.
Hello, I have a single bitmap with several individual pictures in (each one is an option) and I would like to detect when the user touches these pictures. I am using the event.getX and event.getY to detect where is pressed, I know the top left X Y and bottom right location of each of the pictures. What is the best way of detecting which one is pressed?? (i.e. tieing up the event press and which picture has been pressed??

[android-developers] Volunteer needed to develop an Alzheimer's app
I was hoping to find a simple app to help my father who has Alzheimer's. I envision an app that would take over the display and allow 4 options. 1) Call a predetermined number "Call Billie" . Billie is his wife 2) "Call 911" 3) "My Info" Open a page with vital information such as Name, medical needs, address, list of additional contacts. 4) "Answer Phone" an incoming call So when Dad picks up his phone, he sees the 4 options in a large font. All other apps are lock out through some sort of "unlock" feature. With this app and a GPS tracker running in the background, the family could locate him if necessary and he hopefully can call Mom. It really needs to be simple. I am a firmware developer and could struggle through the SDK but I was hoping someone out there who has a family member with Alzheimer's could whip this out in no time.
