Re: [android-developers] Re: App Inventor to Market
Johnas, Time spent and number of launches are poor metrics for app quality. Maybe it makes some sense for games. But consider a car navigation app, or an Office document viewer - their use time/count is dependent on factors that have nothing to do with how much users like them. I have a data backup program on my phone that I liked well enough to pay for. Yet it runs in automatic mode just once a day and only for a few seconds. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 17.07.2010 3:41 пользователь Jonas Petersson jonas.peters...@xms.se написал: On 07/16/2010 05:35 PM, String wrote: On 16 July, 16:14, Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)cor.. +1 From my analysis, the key metric in market position is acceleration, not total downloads, c...

[android-developers] Re: system lock up and restarts when I start and stop my app.
I had a similar situation with one of my apps, not identical but maybe
close enough to be of help. I eventually tracked it down to a race
condition between OpenGL and my own code. I fixed it by adding the
Java volatile modifier to all variables accessed in the onDrawFrame
handler.
I don't know if your game uses OpenGL, but if it does, that's
something to try.

[android-developers] Re: Best way to logout each time the application/task goes to background
Hello, I also do this, BUT I do not put it into every single activity. What I do is create a Handler at application level and a time check object. The handler fires every say 10 seconds and checks the time object. If it matches what I need I broadcast an event across my entire application. Each activity then registers whether or not they need to be notified of this broadcast, so they can take what ever action they require. Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Forwarding ranges of ports to the Android emulator
Hi! I'm working on a C++ library which uses TCP to estabilish communications with the LAN. I've been able to use it without problems on a real device with Android, but I'm not able to use it on the emulator. I suppose it is because the emulator doesn't have access to my LAN. I read the documentation, and, as far as I can understand, it is necessary to forwards ports for incoming connections with the redir command. Unfortunately my library uses many different ports randomly, jumping from one to the other as threads are spawned. So, would it be possible to forward entire ranges of ports instead of single ports?

[android-developers] Re: App Inventor to Market
That's a very high percentage compared to mine, obviously. But I since cannot see your apps here in Singapore, I can't even say what they do, so what I will say may or may not apply to you: for simpler apps, a high rating probably ensures that you will keep the app (favorite comment It does what it says). For an app like mine (a personal finance app) or games, in particular, there is really no way to know if it will suit your needs until you try it. Bottom line is that I am actually very satisfied that 40% of the people kept it installed and rated it 4.31, as shown on AppBrain today. What I am trying to say is that I really hope Google doesn't put too much weight on install percentage, as that would vary greatly across different types of apps.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Best way to logout each time the application/task goes to background
@Frank weis: my application requires a high level of security, so if the user leaves it I don't want that someone else who would use the android mobile can open it without having to log in. Thanks for all your replies it helps a lot ! I think i will go for the timeout method.

[android-developers] Re: Decent Android reference book?
You must have either an outdated, slow computer or a very bad network connection, if you find looking up faster in Java in a Nutshell (a fine book, though). I have had no such problem with the online reference, yet my connection is average DSL, my computer slightly below average memory and CPU speed. Also, I have to disagree that the online reference is not very good. True, I have found some APIs woefully underdocumented there, but I am very pleased with the amount of effort they put into documenting the most fundamental APIs -- though I went on record in one of these Google Android groups complaining about the strong appearance of contradiction in the reference concerning Activity Lifecycle. BTW: the Sun Java reference left many things not explained very well too, especially those changes Sun must have been embarrassed to make, such as deprecating Thread.stop(), Properties.save() or replacing AWT with Swing; they just could not bring themselves to admit that to explain the new ways well, they had to admit the faults of the old. An even more glaring failure to explain in the Java docs concerns the entire HTTP functionality of java.net: almost everyone uses the Apache classes for this instead -- with good reason. Apache's (org.apache.http) really is much better. So no, Java's online docs are not superior to Android's. They just have different faults. Once you get used to Android's online reference, which I hope you will, then you will see they are not so bad. This is a good thing, since there really is nothing else comparable. That said, there is one alternative I have long considered exploring: Motorola's documentation for their own spinoff of the Android SDK: Motodev Studio for Android. You might give that a try. Their documentation might please you more. On Jul 16, 5:17 am, DanH danhi...@ieee.org wrote: I've looked at the online reference and it's not very good. Cuter than the Sun Java stuff, but not as comprehensive and doesn't explain things very well. And it's a lot slower referencing an online reference than, say, looking up something in Java in a Nutshell. One thing that seems to be missing all around is images of the various widgets. One of the books (I forget which one -- don't have them here with me now) has virtually no images at all, while the other has precious few. As to the ... in 24 Hours books, I had to buy them sight-unseen, so I based my choices on newness and ratings. In many other such books about a quarter of the book is devoted to a basic reference -- enough to get me started -- but not with these.

When I say I worked for hours, I obviously do not mean coding for hours before testing every now and then, which would indeed be stupid. I meant lots and lots of change-compile-install-run cycles. setSupportZoom(false) seemed to be the last straw, after this change my event handlers would always fire. Why messing with Zoom you may ask... Well, I noticed that accidentally double-clicking on the screen had the effect of zooming out from my content (there were BTW discussions about disabling that default on StackOverflow too). After I disabled zoom support things appeared to start working in 2.1. However, after reading your message, I commented that line out, and... things still work :-) So you may be right -- can be something else I did... The whole setup is a bit complex, and it involves GestureDetector in a subclass of WebView, etc. The annoying thing had been that handler firing in response to clicking had been inconsistent; it always worked in 2.2, and in =2.1 it could work in the beginning and then stop working. Things DO work now, though, so I can make progress with the rest of the app :-) On Jul 16, 6:05 pm, Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru) cor...@gmail.com wrote: I tried that and it seemed to have no effect.

[android-developers] Re: Decent Android reference book?
With Java in a Nutshell I can find, eg, String and scan the list of methods to refresh my memory of, say, all the options for indexOf in 10 seconds. With the online ref I it takes 5 seconds to open the link, 15 seconds to find String, 5 to scroll down to the method list, and then I still don't have a view of all the methods at once, so I spend another 5 seconds scrolling. That's at home, on a Saturday AM with a good link. At work, where I have to transit several servers and firewalls and fight everyone else's traffic it could take twice as long. Nutshell also has the nice class diagrams that are indispensable when, eg, trying to figure out how to open a file in a mode you don't usually use. Besides, I'm old school and I like the feel of a book. With regard to the quality of the Android documentation, I find many more items in Android's stuff listed with no/minimal description than I find in the Sun documentation. (I especially like the description of SQLiteMisuseException.) One place where the Qt stuff does a good job is having a single link to all members, including inherited members of a class. For classes as layered as the Android ones (which generally seem to be more layered than the Java base classes) this saves a lot of Easter egging. But I didn't come here to start an argument -- I just wanted to find a decent book. I'm still open to suggestions. (I agree that Sun screwed the pooch with regard to AWT and Swing, though the documentation was only a minor issue. But I could list a dozen ways that Sun screwed things up and didn't fix them when they could have, so we all pay for it.) On Jul 17, 6:10 am, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: You must have either an outdated, slow computer or a very bad network connection, if you find looking up faster in Java in a Nutshell (a fine book, though). I have had no such problem with the online reference, yet my connection is average DSL, my computer slightly below average memory and CPU speed. Also, I have to disagree that the online reference is not very good. True, I have found some APIs woefully underdocumented there, but I am very pleased with the amount of effort they put into documenting the most fundamental APIs -- though I went on record in one of these Google Android groups complaining about the strong appearance of contradiction in the reference concerning Activity Lifecycle. BTW: the Sun Java reference left many things not explained very well too, especially those changes Sun must have been embarrassed to make, such as deprecating Thread.stop(), Properties.save() or replacing AWT with Swing; they just could not bring themselves to admit that to explain the new ways well, they had to admit the faults of the old. An even more glaring failure to explain in the Java docs concerns the entire HTTP functionality of java.net: almost everyone uses the Apache classes for this instead -- with good reason. Apache's (org.apache.http) really is much better. So no, Java's online docs are not superior to Android's. They just have different faults. Once you get used to Android's online reference, which I hope you will, then you will see they are not so bad. This is a good thing, since there really is nothing else comparable. That said, there is one alternative I have long considered exploring: Motorola's documentation for their own spinoff of the Android SDK: Motodev Studio for Android. You might give that a try. Their documentation might please you more. On Jul 16, 5:17 am, DanH danhi...@ieee.org wrote: I've looked at the online reference and it's not very good. Cuter than the Sun Java stuff, but not as comprehensive and doesn't explain things very well.

One of the books (I forget which one -- don't have them here with me now) has virtually no images at all, while the other has precious few. As to the ... in 24 Hours books, I had to buy them sight-unseen, so I based my choices on newness and ratings. In many other such books about a quarter of the book is devoted to a basic reference -- enough to get me started -- but not with these.

[android-developers] Re: Screen Rotation
If you look at this tutorial I created at
http://androidworkz.com/2010/07/06/source-code-imageview-flipper-sd-card-scanner/
there is an example of one way to save an array object to a file and
to read it back in. I tried using SharedPreferences, etc as described
in the docs and gave up because I couldn't get it to work and this
solution I came up with works perfectly. This is essentially the basis
of the method. It is simple to use... there are 2 functions.
public void saveArray(String filename, String[] output_field) {
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filename);
GZIPOutputStream gzos = new GZIPOutputStream(fos);
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(gzos);
out.writeObject(output_field);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.getStackTrace();
}
}
@SuppressWarnings(unchecked)
public String[] loadArray(String filename) {
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
GZIPInputStream gzis = new GZIPInputStream(fis);
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(gzis);
String[] read_field = (String[])in.readObject();
in.close();
return read_field;
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.getStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
You just call them like this.
Save Array: saveArray(/sdcard/.mydata/data.dat, MyArray);
Load Array: String[] MyArray = loadArray(/sdcard/.mydata/data.dat);
If you want to use a different type such as a ListArray or whatever,
you can just change the functions to use that type. I have found it
works with any object that is Serializeable.

Have you considered looking at other options to the App Inventor such as our commercially proven MobiForms Developer - particularly for database orientated apps? At MobiForms we released the world's first rapid application development tool for Google Android smartphones nearly a year ago now. MobiForms is designed for novice and expert programmers alike. Additionally, apps developed for Android will also run on a range of other devices such as Windows Mobile without any additional work. This will never be possible with the Google App Inventor. We have just released our MobiForms Advanced Edition with Google Android support. This enables the creation of true offline store and forward apps with offline buffering and online synchronisation. This caters for situations in the real world where comms may be interrupted, but with this solution no data is lost. Ideal for creating business apps for field service, surveys, risk assessments etc. MobiForms offers one compact, easy, development and deployment solution. MobiForms totally replaces the need to learn Eclipse, the Android SDK, Java or XML. For more information have a look at our web site: http://www.mobiforms.com Nicolas wrote: Hi there, I have created an app with the app inventor and now I would like to upload the application to the android market.

[android-developers] Re: webkit, javascript, onclick, MotionEvent, event handlers not firing
Our app Radar Now! is currently on over 380,000 devices in the US, every single one available. It works regardless of screen density and treats every screen as if the width was 320px. The length is proportional to the pixels of the screen so that can vary but it is predictable. That's one of the really great things about webview, the screen reacts as expected regardless of device or screen density. While others may see webview as an abomination, I find it quite refreshing to know that when a new device or version of the OS is released, I can expect our app to behave in a manner that allows the user a good experience. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Need help - videos won't show as thumbs
Hey I just saw that I forgot s.th. within getCount(), so I changed it to
public int getCount() {
//return mThumbIds.length;
if(vidUris!=null){
return vidUris.length;}
return 0;
}
The thing now is that I still cannot see any videos displayed in my
GridView, but I get a message saying: Sorry, but this video cannot be
played!
As I don't want to play the videos but only display them in the GridView
like in an directory, do I maybe have to use MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails
instead, which I just found when I googled a little...though I don't know
what I should do with it in my code...if someone could help me out here,
that would be really really great... Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Android Force close dialog
Veradis, You can't prevent the ANR/FC dialog from appearing, since it's there for a reason. But you can eliminate its cause - your application taking up time in the UI thread, making it unresponsive. Android provides an easy to use class to perform lengthy operations in a background thread, without tying up the UI thread. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html -- Kostya 17.07.2010 21:30, veradis пишет: Hi, In my app, i will be doing some multiple file upload to server.

Re: [android-developers] Transferring control from Non UI thread to Ui Thread
I think you should know that an Android service is not meant to interact with the user directly, as with a dialog. Aside from questioning why the user input is needed in the midst of the service and whether the entire background process needs to be performed in a service, here's what I'd recommend: Split the service into two or three parts. The first would be up to the point of requesting the user's choice, the other one or two would be the branches of the user choice. Use a notification (pending intent, handler) at the branch part (the Android way of having a service ask or provide information to the user). You can use a single service instead of several by using a state machine pattern (the service does different things depending on its state). hth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I am working on a video app. And I have created a GridView that shall

[android-developers] Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
Is there a (simple) way to completely and utterly disable all Java formatting in the Eclipse editor? That is an Eclipse question, but I appreciate your indulgence because this problem is slowly driving me insane. I am spending a lot of time fixing code to make it look good again after it gets mangled by the automatic formatting. I thought I had removed all formatting keyboard shortcuts, but I missed something because my code keeps getting changed. I suspect the culprit to be the Source\Format menu option because that can be triggered by Alt-S-F which is very close to Alt-F- S, the File/Save command. So a little finger slip and ... bam! ... code mangled. Unfortunately, the mangling is not always done where I am looking (since it is applied to the entire file), so I don't always know to undo it. Is it possible to disable or remove a menu item? Although I have set up the formatting rules to do as little damage as possible, the rules are not flexible enough to cover everything. My last resort will be to change the Eclipse code itself, but ... blech. Thanks for any tips. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Which Android service path to choose for implementing a large upload?
I am trying to implement a RESTful API in which I have to upload files that are relatively large for a mobile platform. The upload could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. I would like my application to be completely usable while the upload takes place. I've been doing some research and I've come across a few methods from which I can't decide which is the correct solution to my problem. These are the two things I have come across. Using an IntentService -- handles the worker thread so I don't have to. Using my own type of Service-- still need to implement an AsyncTask to handle the large process. Implement an AsyncTask in a singleton file that would allow me to do all the work there but without using the service class. My question is which method is the best -- if one isn't listed but is a more apt solution to my problem then I would appreciate suggestions. After researching all these methods I am still also confused on one thing. Lets say I upload a 2MB files, but I want to know when it is done. For example, lets say I have a service that uploads an image and returns and imageID -- I need to be able to know when that service returns an imageID -- process that and then move on to the next upload until the rest are finished. As always, thanks in advance. EDIT: I forgot to specify that while uploading I want the app to be usable-- that means that I can switch activities and still have the same service run. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] When are the overlays drawn on the map?
If the updates don't happen until the onCreate or onClickEventHandler methods return, first guess is you're misusing the UI thread. That is, the UI thread is busy in your while loop and can't get anything else done, like drawing the overlays. Welcome to UI programming! I strongly suggest you put you loop into an AsyncTask. and use its callback methods to update the UI.

In my case only the free one dropped, the paid one just shows the incorrect count as I said a few posts back, but it hasn't dropped per se.

[android-developers] Re: Disabling Java formatting in the Eclipse editor
Out of curiosity, what do you hate about the Java formatting. I rather like it myself. On Jul 17, 3:23 pm, A Curious Developer imdb...@yahoo.com wrote: Is there a (simple) way to completely and utterly disable all Java formatting in the Eclipse editor? That is an Eclipse question, but I appreciate your indulgence because this problem is slowly driving me insane. I am spending a lot of time fixing code to make it look good again after it gets mangled by the automatic formatting. I thought I had removed all formatting keyboard shortcuts, but I missed something because my code keeps getting changed. I suspect the culprit to be the Source\Format menu option because that can be triggered by Alt-S-F which is very close to Alt-F- S, the File/Save command. So a little finger slip and ... bam! ... code mangled. Unfortunately, the mangling is not always done where I am looking (since it is applied to the entire file), so I don't always know to undo it. Is it possible to disable or remove a menu item? Although I have set up the formatting rules to do as little damage as possible, the rules are not flexible enough to cover everything. My last resort will be to change the Eclipse code itself, but ... blech. Thanks for any tips. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Using EmbossFilterMask
I'd like to have an embossed look on a bitmap image using its alpha channel. It seems that the EmbossFilterMask works great on drawables, like drawCircle, for instance. Is there a way to apply it to a bitmap like drawBitmap? Thanks, Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Selection list cut off in AutoCompleteTextView in Dialog
I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields. The problem I'm facing is that when the user starts typing something into the AutoCompleteTextView, the list with all suggestions only shows up to the bottom end of the dialog, but doesn't go beyond that even the list is longer. It looks like it's cut off. (screenshot left) Only after I long-press an item from the suggestion list, the list will be shown in full length. (screenshot right) Screenhot is at: http://img704.imageshack.us/i/dialogdropdown.png/ How to fix this behaviour so that the list shows in full length right from the beginning, when the user starts typing something? Code-wise there's nothing special, all I do is: ArrayAdapterString adapter = new ArrayAdapterString(this.getContext(), R.layout.nav_route_autocomplete_row, locStrings); AutoCompleteTextView txtStartPos = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.txtStartPos); txtStartPos.setAdapter(adapter); ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Font rendering problem?
Please see here: http://picasaweb.google.com/zvasvari/AndroidFontBug# I am rendering two lines of text, the only difference is the color. The red text looks obviously shorter and fatter, they are both 18sp in height. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? The style for the white text is item name=android:textSize18sp/item item name=android:textStylebold/item item name=android:textColor?android:attr/textColorPrimary/item For the red text it's the same size and style, but the color is a custom color resource (but basically it's pure red, as given by the last line): selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item android:state_enabled=false android:color=#50ff/ item android:state_window_focused=false android:color=#a0ff/ item android:state_pressed=true android:color=#ff00/ item android:state_selected=true android:color=#ff00/ item android:color=#/ !-- not selected -- /selector -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] SIGSEGV on Droid X (libskia.so)
I'm getting logs like this from several Droid X users. Currently i got no idea how to fix it so i guess i'll remove support for Droid X alltogether. Any other suggestions? Btw. Android really needs a better way for dealing with bugs like this. This is the third time i got a bug that occurs on one device only. Even if you don't want to call it fragmentation it's still very annoying.

[android-developers] XML Pull Parser Bugging Out
I am trying to create a Forum Parsing Application that uses the XML
Pull Parser to grab the HTML and then go through it and parsing it for
the specific data. I managed to create one that works however when I
try to create another one that is used by another Activity in the same
Application it gets stuck in a infinite loop.
http://pastebin.com/8YciNjXL
When I debug my code I traced it all the way down to Line 51...
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
Apparantly eventType gets forever stuck as 0, this is an almost exact
copy of my other XML Pull Parser and I have no idea where I or it went
wrong.

Re: [android-developers] XML Pull Parser Bugging Out
You never request the next element to be read. Your loop should
contain the following statement:
eventType = xpp.next();
