Can I suggest calling an end to the thread? We're now way off topic
from what the OP wants, and most posts to it seem to end up as troll
food.

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?

[Indicator Veritatis]

Then we can certainly agree that the dashboard figures are a much
better measure of how many 1.5 and 1.6 devices are out there than the
downloads of any one popular app.

And yes, that other count would have been stupid; but I have seen even
more stupid things hidden under such vague language as "relative
number of access devices" and "based on the number of Android devices
that have accessed".

So if you agree that that would be stupid, then you should also agree
that such vague language is also stupid. Please see what you can do to
get it changed.

Re: [android-developers] Clearing Overlays

[Brad Gies]

I've had problems with this on occassion also...but just clearing the 
items from each Overlay achieves the same thing without problems.


myOverlay.items.clear();

If you have more than one Overlay, and want to clear them all, just loop 
through them and clear the items.

[android-developers] Re: HELP

[Indicator Veritatis]

Really? Then what is http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html
all about? It says "Platform development", and uses several other key
phrases that make it clear it is not just about building Android
applications.

In particular, it says, " if you are looking for information on how to
use Eclipse to develop applications that run on Android, this is not
the right page for you. "

[android-developers] Re: How to get all the children views of a layout

[Indicator Veritatis]

Strictly speaking, you are correct, of course. But since the OP said
'"layout_width"', not 'layout_width', I assumed he was really thinking
about the actual numeric value the width takes, rather than the XML
attribute "layout_width". But I did not preserve this distinction in
my own writing, so I wrote the wrong thing. Not to mention it was a
dubious assumption to begin with, though it did make sense out of his
asking for it to be set programmatically, while in his sample XML he
was already setting it explicitly.

Of course the real XML attribute "layout_width" is set by the user and
used by the layout manager.

But this raises a natural question, one I am sure has occurred to many
others learning Android: what were they thinking when they named this
parameter "layout_width"? Doesn't the very name naturally suggest a
numeric value measuring the width, rather than rule for deriving that
value from elsewhere?

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?

[Indicator Veritatis]

So then does the dashboard count each MEID/IMEI connecting within the
given time period only once, regardless of how many times it connects
and reconnects to the Market? If not, then no, it is not "pretty much
the exact data they want", because it is skewed by how often devices
connect and disconnect, or by how many apps they download.

The vague language used on the dashboard, saying evasive-sounding
things like "relative number of access devices" and "based on the
number of Android devices that have accessed" do NOT answer this
question, they leave a LOT of room for doubt.

I might give a try at the OpenGL method, I actually took an OpenGL

[Connick]

Thanks for the input. Actually that will do the trick as I'd like to keep an
area on the far right for a sync progress image anyway.

[android-developers] Re: Importing existing projects to Android

[kypriakos]

So I generated a new project, and of course the R.java is in place as
expected, imported the
src dirs from the other project into the src dir of this one, checked
all of them and no errors
are displayed, but still when I run the app (without the Activity
class calling any of these
imported classes) it keeps complaining about the project having
errors. Neither the IDE or
the Android SDK display any errors so this is a bit strange. The
manifest file looks good,
and so do the other system files (default.properties etc.).
It seems to me that may be the libraries I am importing through the
source classes
I imported are not accepted by the SDK - for example the axis libs,
which seem to
help the classes that import them not to display any compile errors,
may not be digested
nicely by the Android SDK - would that be the problem?

[android-developers] How should I do this?

[Sean Chitwood]

Hi--
    I'm trying to write a simple podcast application that allows a
show to have a branded application that people can use to listen to
the show, read show notes and even call a phone number if the show has
a voice mail box.
    Most everything is going great, I made some mistakes (like
implementing everything as asynctasks) and learned from them. I
re-implemented a majority of the background processing as a couple of
services.
    The problem I am currently faced with is that I have a
DownloadShowsService that downloads the MP3 and a PDF file and inserts
the MP3 into the contentstore. I want the Activity that starts the
service to update when the service is finished downloading the file.
   Currently I have this code:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_RUN);
i.setClass(ShowDetail.this, DownloadShowsService.class);



i.putExtra(Constants.TITLE_FIELD, mShow.getTitle());
i.putExtra(Constants.ENCLOSURE_FIELD, mShow.getMp3Path());
i.putExtra(Constants.NOTES_URL, mShow.getPdfPath());
i.putExtra(BaseColumns._ID, mShow.getId());

bindService(i, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
startService(i);
/* Make sure dssShow has been assigned to when we bind to it */
if(dssShow != null)

        {

            dssShow.addListener(new PropertyChangeListener(){

          public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {

            if(event.getPropertyName() == "finished" &&
(Boolean)event.getOldValue() == true)
        {
       ShowDetail.this.readShowData();
}

          }
         });

 }



The dssShow is always null immediately after the service starts.

So I am running against the limits of my knowledge of Android and
decided to ask for some help.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Would seeing more code help?


I have to admit to being a bit confused by the whole SOA thing.

[android-developers] Re: Importing existing projects to Android

[kypriakos]

RIght but that didn't do it Craig. It does build the files I have
imported
successfully but the R class does not get generated. I have a feeling
a hidden issue somewhere (even though the Error Log does not show
anything in Eclipse) is preventing this generation. I may try to
create
a new empty project and import these classes over again.

Where is this CursorUtils class that you are using? I don't see it in

[android-developers] Re: Killi Process with files on SD card

[Streets Of Boston]

Register your broadcast receiver like this:

IntentFilter intentFilter = new
IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT);
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED);
intentFilter.addDataScheme("file");
intentFilter.addDataAuthority("*", null);
intentFilter.addDataPath((mIsExternal
   ?CursorUtils.EXTERNAL_STORAGE_ROOT
   :CursorUtils.PHONE_STORAGE_ROOT).getAbsolutePath(),
PatternMatcher.PATTERN_LITERAL);
context.registerReceiver(this, intentFilter);

Then close all your files when you get an ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT
and re-open them (if necessary) on ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED.
(in the 'public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)' method
of this broadcast receiver).

(EXTERNAL_STORAGE_ROOT is the standard value for external-storage
(usually "/sdcard") and PHONE_STORAGE_ROOT is "/emmc" (for HTC
Incredible and such phones)).

I'm not sure if this is the 'official' way of doing it, but it works
for me. :)

[android-developers] Re: Possible to achieve using relative layout?

[Streets Of Boston]

Good luck with that one... i tried but no luck.

If you think about it, it makes sense that this is not 'easy' to do
with the standard controls (like the text view).

The text-view knows about its parent (the rel. layout), not about its
siblings (imageview).
If you center the text-view in the parent, the largest extent of the
text-view is the left-and right border of the parent. The text-view
doesn't know about the imageview and where it exactly is and can not
position itself or its text relative to the image-view borders.

You can also specify instead that the text-view is right-aligned and
is 'to-the-right-of' the imageview and the text inside the text-view
is centered. However, that will put the text off-center, a bit too
much to the right.

I 'solved' it by putting an equal amount of empty space (an empty
View) to the right of the text-view:
  imageview: left aligned, with specific width.
  textview: right-of imageview, left-of emptyview. Text is centered.
  emptyview: right aligned, with same width as imageview.
This solution is not perfect, since the text will never go all the way
to the right. But then, again, this does make some sense, since the
text doesn't go all the way to the left either. If the text would
extend all the way to the right and not all the way to the left, the
text would appear off-center.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Resolving activities

[Dianne Hackborn]

What is "Name"?

ComponentName has a constructor that takes a package name and class name; in
the activity info these are .packageName and .name.

The line:

[android-developers] canvas.addArc problem

[Ricardo]

Hi

why the Path addArc don´t work like canvas.drawArc?

This code works well:

canvas.drawArc(rect, startAngle, sweepAngle, true, paint);

But this code don´t fill the ARC like the previous one.

Path path = new Path();
path.addArc(rect, startAngle, sweepAngle);
canvas.drawPath(path, paint);

The boolean "useCenter" parameter in the canvas.drawArc does the
magic. If you use usecenter=false it works like the Path version...
How can I use the canvas.drawPath with this usecenter=true logic?

thank you

[android-developers] Resolving activities

[CMWiii]

In a test app I pass an intent to resolveActivity to find out what is
the
best fit for the intent.

For example:

   Intent myIntent = new Intent();

   myIntent.setPackage(PackageName);
   myIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
   myIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);

   PackageManager manager = getPackageManager();

   ResolveInfo ri = manager.resolveActivity(exceptionIntent,0);

   if (ri != null) {
 Intent newIntent = new Intent();

 newIntent.setClassName(PackageName,
ri.activityInfo.applicationInfo.className);
 newIntent.setFlags(ri.activityInfo.flags);

 startActivity(newIntent);
  }

The result of all this is an error:
"android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit
activity
   class ..."

Any suggestions or thoughts on why I am getting back an activity that
then can't be
found by startActivity?

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Intents (I think)

[CMWiii]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this but I found the problem
after revisiting the
code a few days later.  It actually worked correctly but two of the
applications (2 of 10)
I was testing against had a problem.  What they were doing was
actually starting another
instance of themselves which gave the appearance that my app was
hanging.  I was
able to verify this behavior outside of my testing.  Both products
came from the Market
and both agreed there was an issue.

Sorry for the time waster.

Odds are those will be on AbsSpinner, which you may have to clone as
well. If you would need to clone more than those two, then I'd
consider another direction.

[android-developers] Possible to achieve using relative layout?

[Connick]

I have a relative layout with an imageview aligned to parent left and a
textview centered horizontally/vertically in the parent. Is there a way I
can indicate that the textview should not overlap the imageview should the
text be long enough to fill the parent?

Cheers,
Stace

I thought on that, but my 'clone' will be on my package and there's
some protected variables that they don't have (or I can't find them)

You can't, short of building your own firmware.

[android-developers] How to manage an event by 2 widgets

[Sebastián Treu]

Hi all,

I want to change how a gallery looks like. I want to add 2 jogs at
each side, so looks like this:

http://omploader.org/vNHc2Yw/device.png

First approach was to add the "jogs" to the ImageAdapter (at the
beginning and at the end) for the Gallery. The Gallery will show the
items as usual, but It will apply the custom background, and also if
you specify spacing, you will get an ugly gallery. Also, I want the
jog not to be centered as the others images.

Then, I decided to download the whole api, and modify the Gallery
source in a way so to handle specially the first item and the last
item of the adapter. But, I don't know how to compile the api alone.
The Makefile in the root project will build 6gb of the whole android
platform. If someone can explain me how to build just the API, I will
be grateful.

The other approach was to compose Views. I thought to add ImageView's
to the left and right corner and to be scrolled when needed, but when
the Gallery capture the events I can't forward it to the holder of the
ImageViews. So, I extend Gallery, and I override onScroll() like this:

super.onScroll(e1,e2,distanceX,distanceY);
return false;

and also onTouchEvent() like this:

super.onTouchEvent(event);
return false;

but unfortunately when I return false wihtin onTouchEvent() the
Gallery does not scroll.

So, main questions are:

1) How can I compile the modified API to generete a MyGallery.class to
be added to android.jar? If I modify the source code of Gallery.java I
can manage the fill of the Gallery for the specific items I want (i
already read the source code).

2) In other approach, Is it posible to handle one event by 2 widgets?
If so, I could overlap the Gallery above a jog. The Gallery will
scroll as he knows, and I will scroll as I want.

3) If those approachs are bad, what will you recommend ?

PS: I don't get why the Gallery does not have this nice feature I want
to implement, kind of: setBorders(left, right) and etc. The problem on
extending Gallery, is that when you add a View (for instance, the
"jog"), you specify a position. Gallery fills the gallery getting the
Views of it container with: getChildAt(0) and getChildAt(numChildren
-1) when filling to right and left, respectively. Then, it gathers the
'unseen' Views from the Adapter. So the added view (the 'jog') will be
scrolled by Gallery, but when the view is no longer visible, the
Gallery itself has no way to get back that view, as it's not in the
Adapter.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

[android-developers] How can I find unneeded permission?

[deg]

I am doing radical surgery on a large existing Android app, creating a
much smaller app from just part of it.

The existing app requests many permissions that I no longer need. I
have removed the obvious ones, but I very likely have removed too many
or too few.

Is there any static way to determine what permissions an app needs?

(I know that I can remove all permissions and then repeatedly test
each code path, reinstating each missing permission that causes the
app to malfunction. But, surely, there is a better way!)

[android-developers] Re: Preload NinePatchs

[Gyscos]

Thanks for the answer ! :)

I didn't see how I could tell the Resource to first load the resource
in memory, and then create the drawables objects from it, without
creating myself the Bitmap / NinePatch objects...

If you're referring to the 'getDrawable' command, does this mean I
should use this for every button in the application, and hope that it
will only be slow for the first time ?

[android-developers] Re: Google Maps API in a Live Wallpaper

[Hayden]

Thanks for the info! Hmmm, static might work, though the image sizes
are limited to 640x640. From looking at some of the Google API terms,
using static maps or javascript does not allow for commercial use,
though the Google Maps API for Android does.  So, it appears I need to
figure out how to use the Android Google Maps API or find another map
provider :/

Re: [android-developers] Killi Process with files on SD card

[Dianne Hackborn]

There is a broadcast sent when the SD card is being unmounted (sorry I don't
remember the name off-hand).  You should close all your files at that point.
 If you don't, the platform needs to kill the process because Linux can't
unmount the file system while any files remain open on it.

[android-developers] Block incoming calls without disabling Bluetooth - i.e., DND (do not disturb) mode

[WhitneyApps]

I'm working on an app that should have the ability to disable incoming
calls for a user-specified period of time.  It should work much the
way a "DND" (do not disturb) button works on an office phone.

I've looked over the SDK, and I can't find any way to send phone calls
to voicemail without putting the phone in airplane mode.  That would
be OK if I could re-enable Bluetooth.  I'd like the user to be able to
listen to music via a Bluetooth headset while phone calls are blocked.

In summary, any of the following would work I could do them from my
app:

1) Programmatically send all calls to voicemail (like a "DND" button)
- this would be ideal since it would still be in the call log at the
end of the "do not disturb" time.

2) Intercept the incoming call in my app and bounce it

3) Disable all radios but Bluetooth (Wi-Fi would be OK too.)

4) Prevent the built-in phone call app from displaying its incoming
call screen (I can disable the ringer and vibration) even though the
call is received

Is any of these possible?  Or maybe another approach I haven't thought
of?

Just a side note: For Android phones to be the best possible
productivity tool, it should be possible to use a device for email/
Internet/apps without receiving constant interruptions from calls.
Humans have a significant context-switch time.

Thanks,

Steve

Have you considered using the Maps v3 JavaScript API (in a webview)?
Would that work with a live wallpaper? There's a static map API with

such a use, as long as you have it available free in the market that
is.

[android-developers] Google Maps API in a Live Wallpaper

[Hayden]

Is there a way to use the Google Maps API in a live wallpaper? From
looking at the API, it requires a MapActivity which I'm not sure how
can work with a WallpaperService.  It's obviously possible since there
is the Google Maps live wallpaper included in Google Maps for Android,
but wasn't sure if that was using API's not available outside of
Google.

What I want to use it for us pretty simple...use a static map
background at a set zoom level as the background and then drawing
things on top of it, so I don't even need user interaction with the
map.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ItemizedOverlay using both onTap methods

[Brad Gies]

Hi Pedro,

There are several ways to do it, but you probably want to do it when you 
create the overlay. If you are not using the overlayItem tag for 
anything else, just set the tag to the Geopoint, and then you can access 
it by casting the tag to a Geopoint after you get the item in the code 
below. As I said, there are lots of other ways.. but that is normally my 
preferred way, because it keeps the information you want with the item.

that created the overlay itself besides the latitude and longitude

Hi Yahel, thanks for your view!

Personally I'm not worried about the ethics of say hurting Disney
either. I just don't want to get myself into legal trouble because I
don't fully understand the consequences. Maybe you are right though,
and I take it all too seriously -- I'm in the upper end (29) of your
"don't care" range (-:

[Yahel]

Hi Michael,

You need  a little more cynism :)

What will happen to these infringers and their app if they get
caught ?
They will receive a cease-and-desist letter from the rights holders
and maybe Google will ban the appMost likely not the developper,
just the app.

So thinking about it being very honest is usually a good thing but in
business the ones that makes money are often the one that play with
the rules.

There is no real danger putting disney in your app as long as you know
it will not be for long and you have a backup plan.

I am not telling you to go for it as I reprove as much as you do. I'm
just stating a fact. It's a crime with no punishement which can bring
you a lot of downloads and/or purchases. You don't go for it, but
don't be surprised that others do.

I wonder if it's also a matter of age ? It would be interesting to see
how old, Mark, Maps, I and yourself are and what age are the disney's
infringer from hell. I guess when you are in the 16 - 30 range,
respect for that kind of thing is a lot more flexible :) After all i'm
small how could i hurt such a big company as Disney ?

Anyway, keep fighting, keep adding functionalities and original ideas
and then it won't matter anymore...Yeah not to convincing I agree :)

[android-developers] Killi Process with files on SD card

[ls02]

I found that Android kills my app process that has files open on SD
card when the card is mounted when the device connects to a computer.
It is done without any notification, I see in the log something like
KillProcessWithFilesOpenedOnCard message, my app receives no
notification, has no chance to gracefully shutdown. Moreover Android
restarts my app immediately after killing it with latest Activity not
the default activity launched in default standard mode. It does it
while the card is still mounted and device is still connected to a
computer.

Can someone explain this all to me, how it I supposed to work, and if
there is any way to alter this weird rude behavior? Particularly, if
there is way to get any notification before the process is killed by
the OS and to prevent relaunching it while the card is still mounted?

[android-developers] Re: GPS accuracy reliability

[jgostylo]

In answer to some questions.  I am setting up the network location
finder and the GPS location finder using 2 separate
LocationListeners.  I have some logic that determines what the user
has activated so I only listen to gps if the have gps enabled and so
forth.

>From my user feedback it seems like the biggest location discrepancies
happen with GPS.  I have not been able to personally verify this.  I
don't need to be super picky about how accurate it is (500 meters
would suffice).  I am just wondering if GPS is putting people several
hundred miles away from their actual location is it also reliable to
say that its accuracy is over 200,000 meters?  That way I can throw
out anything that says it is less accurate than 500 meters.

If it is putting my user 200 miles away and saying that it thinks its
accuracy is within 100 meter then it really does me no good.  Maybe I
can be choosy and say that if it GPS then I demand 20 meter accuracy
but if it is network then I only demand 500 meter???

Thanks for the responses.

[android-developers] Re: Mapping Application

[vineet]

Hi there, let me be specific.

We are building a ranging application for which the data will be
provided to mobile application by formats (say by Mobile Atlas Creator
http://mobac.dnsalias.org/)
now application will be when the users wish to go to remote areas, say
villages, forests, where they could not have access to mobile
network / internet.

At that time user could easily load data from the mobile and get its
location.

I tried the Osmdroid library to use open street data..
I tried http://www.anddev.org/openstreetmap_mapview_for_android-t2967.html
as it shows how to use android mapview.
It says it works similarly with MapView from google.

it do have openstreetmapview but there are some problems
firstly it gave IOException Error at  this line
this.mOsmv = new OpenStreetMapView(this,
OpenStreetMapRendererInfo.MAPNIK);

I believe Mapnik is not found, but there is no docs on how to use or
install the on android.. Further there is no MapActivity in osmdroid
package.
Could someone please help me out.

code is at page (http://www.anddev.org/map-tutorials-f18/openstreetmap-
mapview-for-android-t2967.html) as from author
i tried all, but its not working. The author is admnistrator of
anddev.org (plusminus) had stopped working on this... i think. i tried
mailing him also, but no reply

if you had used osmdroid, and actually ran the map activity,  could
someone please post ni sample activity code here...

Or any other approach.

[android-developers] Re: IP infringements on the Market

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

Virtually every market category is just stuffed with copyright
violators. In my favorite category, "News & Weather" there is a
developer that has about 50 apps that all violate someone's copyright.
This developer basically scrapes a web site and publishes it as an
app, and runs his ads in it. Does CNN, FOX, ESPN, NBA, NFL or MLB know
or care? Good question. I'm guessing the Android market isn't enough
of a concern to these companies yet to police it.

Do I do anything about it? No. I also believe in live and let live. If
the major media outlets don't care about apps violating their IP, then
that's their problem. Eventually Karma will catch up to these
violators and the situation will take care of itself.

I recommend you do the same. It's a big world and no matter what you
do, you can never get rid of all the law breakers. Just be satisfied
that you live within the rules.

That's my take on this anyway.

You can manage the orientation changes yourself and eliminate this
source of device confusion, it's quite easy, just add
android:configChanges="orientation" to your manifest's activity.

As for the signal source, just make sure to check your provider for
"gps" - if it says gps, it will be from that source.

[android-developers] InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() fails on headless emulators

[Matthias]

Hi,

before reporting this as a bug, I thought I'd ask here (I also posted
on stackoverflow with no reply so far, but the Google developers don't
seem to be actively posting there anyway --
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3214531/how-to-send-key-events-to-a-headless-emulator-in-an-instrumentation-test).

So the problem is:
We run a build server in our company on a headless Linux, so we have
to start the emulator with the -no-window flag when running the
instrumentation tests. When this flag is set, however, the
InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() method fails -- not with an
exception, but there is an obscure message in the device log:

Permission denied: injecting key event from pid 646 uid 10026 to
window Window{43d55100 paused=false} owned by uid 1000

this works fine on a "normal" emulator which does have a window.

We already tried fumbling with the INJECT_EVENTS permission, process
affinity and sharedUserId, but nothing works.

This basically makes our test suite useless on a build server, which
are typically headless. Is this a bug or are we missing something?

Thanks,
Matthias

[android-developers] Re: GPS accuracy reliability

[JP]

That was my thought. Unless location provider registration is managed
through the variety of app lifecycle state changes, it is easy to put
an app in a state where it acquires the device location using Network
based location providers, even though the user selected GPS and
unselected everything else (Namely, "Use wireless networks:). The
downside of unregistering and registering location providers with
every lifecycle state change (i.e. in onPause(), onResume() and so
forth) is when users manically switch device orientation back and
forth. This leads to a series of lifecycle breakdown and restart calls
that seem to have the potential of getting Android location provider
registration "confused". If you haven't done already, I'd recommend to
experiment with this for a few hours to get a feel how it all plays
out in relation to your apps.

[android-developers] ListView containing multiple, clickable, Views (i.e. like GMail)

[jamesc]

Hi

I've been wrestling with trying to achieve something similar to the
GMail app's ListView entries (i.e. clicking/tapping on the whole entry
will start a new Activity (in GMail's case the email proper), and
there's a Button (of sorts) on the right side of the entry that should
call back to the registered onClickListener.

This is the (editted) structure of my ListView entry:










I can click/tap the ListView entry (and it starts an Activity as
required) *if the ImageButton isn't there*.  Adding the ImageButton,
however, a) stops me from being able to tap the ListView entry to
start an Activity, and b) results in the ImageButton not generating a
onClick() callback (even though it appears to register OK).

Clearly, there's an issue with how the ListView handles the various
Views within it, and ends up not responding to any clicks/taps (I can
highlight the ListView entries with the trackball, however), but I've
no idea what it could be.

Are there any pointers someone could give me?  Any help would be much
appreciated.

Cheers

James

I don't find that layout to be especially "normal", but it is easily
done. Use LinearLayout and android:layout_weight="1" for the left one.
Or, use RelativeLayout with appropriate anchors, so the left text is
anchored to the left side and to the right text.

[android-developers] Preload NinePatchs

[Gyscos]

Hi people !

I'm trying to use 9-patches in my application.

At first, I created one NinePatchDrawable that I used in every Button,
but this lead to some problems :
http://pastebin.com/pBep1NM0

This happened with any Drawable, including NinePatchDrawable or
BitmapDrawable.

Someone told me that it was because Drawable was storing some shared
values, so I decided to use one Drawable per button...

But since I was going to use many NinePatchDrawable with the same
NinePatch, I thought it might be a better idea to first create a
NinePatch, and then distribute NinePatchDrawable based on this
NinePatch.

But the NinePatchDrawable(Resouce, NinePatch) constructor produces a
null-pointer exception because no padding is entered... (By the way,
why is this constructor public then ?... Since it directly calls
setNinePatchState, wich calls computeBitmapSize, where the error
occurs...).

So what's the way to do it ? Directly call
Resource.getDrawable() ?... :-/ But then it gets more difficult to
control when the data is loaded... (When calling multiple times
Resource.getDrawable() with the same file, only the first call loads
the file, right ? The others are faster ?)

What is the clean way to use Managers to handle this ?...

Thanks  :)

I didn't think of that but good point.

I agree that probably the best way to act against infringement
problems is to notify copyright holders. Speaking for myself, the
problem is not big enough for me to go through all that trouble. I
guess it is just a downside of a free market that we will have to live
with.

I am sure you are correct. To be honest, I was just trying to make you
happy, because I am guessing that you won't like anything else that I
tell you.

AFAICT, the only proactive thing you can do to facilitate their
removal is make sure the rights-holders (e.g., Disney) are aware of
the possible copyright and trademark violations. They will file
takedown notices if and when it suits them, as is their right. Plus,
it also solves the problem of where they have indeed licensed those
materials, infrequent as that may be.

Beyond that, pick market segments where competition cannot gain an
advantage by misuse of other firms' trademarks and copyrights.

> Surely Google is already aware of the issue and choose not to

Doing so may well violate their DMCA safe harbor provisions and open
them up to big-ticket lawsuits. I suspect that they are best served by
following the DMCA rules, which requires takedown notices by the
rights holders (e.g., Disney). They certainly are willing to remove
apps when confronted with such a takedown notice (see the Tetris clone
removal wave of a month or two ago).

If you are interested in more on this subject, I encourage you to
review the outcome of the Viacom lawsuit against Google for copyright
violations on YouTube:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100623/1333269937.shtml

If you wish to discuss the merits of the DMCA, or whether proactively
removing things that might violate copyright or trademark would breach
the safe harbor provisions, that's cool, but this is not the forum for
it.

Thanks for your reply Mark.

However, I doubt flagging apps as inappropriate will have much of an

infringing apps are flagged by sufficiently many people.

[android-developers] Re: Camera preview - strange on Samsung Galaxy S (2.1update1)

[Mathias Lin]

@Dan: version is
[ro.build.fingerprint]: [Samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.1-
update1/ECLAIR/I9000XXJF3:user/release-keys]

@blindfold: yes, after commenting out the parameter p.set(ROTATION,
90) it looks ok now, thanks.  I just need to rotate the image
afterwards manually then, since it's in wrong angle, but that's no
problem.
Seems that Samsung has problems with these params.

That line alone probably isn't enough to give you a good answer.

Can you put the complete output from logcat onto a web server
somewhere and add the URL to this thread.

[android-developers] IP infringements on the Market

[michael]

Hi folks,

I thought I would ask other developers for their opinions on the large
number of apps on the market which seem to infringe on third-party
intellectual property.

I have apps in the free Casual Game category, and a quick count
reveals that out of the 200 top apps, at least 30 very likely infringe
on third-party copyrights and/or trademarks. I believe similar numbers
apply to other categories.

This of course may place the developers of these apps at risk of
lawsuits, and is also a breach of the Market terms and conditions.

My worry, however, is that these apps constitute unfair competition:
they use "stolen" intellectual property to promote themselves, thus
out-ranking competing apps which play fair. For example, I would love
to use Disney material in one of my games. I asked Disney and did not
obtain a permission, hence I am not using their material. Yet my game
has to compete against other games which do use Disney material,
almost certainly without permission.

Maybe these are just the rantings of a slightly bitter developer of
not-massively-successful apps. But maybe my concerns also ring a bell
for other developers. What do you think? Should infringing apps just
be accepted, or is there something we as a community can do to deal
with the problem? It would also be good to hear the thoughts of
developers of infringing apps.

Best,
Michael.

Currently such thing cannot be done easily. It's possible but you'd
have to write your own implementation of OBEX on top of RFCOMM.

Re: [android-developers] How to get selected text from EditView and color it

[YuviDroid]

Ops, I just noticed now that you asked for 'text selection'...sorry! Still,
you can use the getText() to get the entire text, and then use the String
method: substring(int start, int end) to get only the selected text.

Re: [android-developers] How to get selected text from EditView and color it

[YuviDroid]

Do you mean EditText or TextView?
Anyway, in both cases to get the text:

yourEditText.getText().toString();

to change the text color you can use:
yourEditText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);


Hope it helps.

Just a guess then (as i have never built from the source) you said you

you probably need to download all of the source and build it from the
root as most of the projects use components from other projects.

[android-developers] Re: Knowing when someone sets device to 2G only

[Al Sutton]

Actually getting the setting is pretty difficult because it's not a
universal setting (CDMA devices don't have a preferred network type
setting), so the setting itself isn't exposed in a universal way.

You could try setting up a broadcast receiver for
ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION and testing to see if the
network type has changed and whether it ever switches to 3G using
TelephonyManager (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/
telephony/TelephonyManager.html)

If you want an example of how to set the receiver up you can find one
in the system browser app;

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Browser.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/browser/BrowserActivity.java;h=5e557893b5b61976ea23860e0d52fc14f1644a82;hb=307bddd3006fd4d0fd8f8c6b63cd781582e6fb09
