[android-developers] Hiding SMS notifications

[Andrea Rota]

Hello all,

I am working on a research project and I need to write an Android
application that is able to intercept SMS's and, according to their
content, route them to a web services without showing any alert.

I tried to register a broadcast receiver on the intent SMS_RECEIVED,
but the default SMS application is still notifying the SMS in the
notification bar. The only way to achieve what is manually disabling
the message notification from the default SMS application's menu.

I found that the "SMS Guard" application, available on the market, is
able to filter messages out without any notification, without touching
any default configuration (I wrote to the developer, no answer yet).

Any idea?

That means you do not have a valid API key, or possibly that you do
not hold the INTERNET permission in your application.

[android-developers] Change application preferences programmaticaly

[Andrea Rota]

Hello all,

I have been looking for a method to change the default SMS
application's preference programmatically.

I found that those preferences are stored as "shared preferences",
probably in data/data/com.android.sms/something.xml, but I am not able
to get to that directory since I haven't rooted my phone.

Do you have any clue?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Android market rules are changed, you must accept it within 30 days but...

[William Ferguson]

That was my conclusion as well. The problem with that is that your
target audience is now a great deal less.
How many Android users (especially as Android phones becomes more
mainstream) will venture outside of the offical Android market?
And that's assuming that their phone can actually install apps from
"Unknown sources" ..

First, there is no single "defalut SMS application". Each device may
have different ones.

Second, the AOSP Messaging application (com.android.sms) is not part
of the Android SDK, and so there are no documented APIs for
manipulating it.

You cannot modify settings in another application, any more than other
applications can hack into yours. Sorry!

An incorrect API key or a missing/invalid INTERNET permission are the
only two causes of missing map tiles that I know of, if the built-in
Maps application is working.

> I am putting the logcat on my system as well-

Nothing from that is a relevant message. For example, "Couldn't get
connection factory client" happens all of the time, IIRC.

Here is a project that works, once you replace my API key with yours:

[android-developers] Re: Suggestions on howto start service without rebooting device

[Bob Kerns]

Well, OtherApp can't directly start the MapApp service, but it can
wake up MyApp, which can then start it itself.

In most cases, the ideal approach would be for OtherApp to start an
activity in MyApp, which can then provide the user-interface to inform
the user about what they've just installed, that it's starting the
service, etc. It's good to provide some non-intrusive feedback that
the operation was successful. It certainly makes it easier to be sure
it's working!

But OtherApp could also send a broadcast instead, and that could start
the service.

I do wish apps could activate on install. At the time of download is
the point where a user is (almost) guaranteed to remember what your
app is, and why she's installed it, and to introduce her to why it's
going to make her life so much better. Or simply to make sure it's
doing the task she downloaded it for.

I don't even think it would be horrible if EVERY app launched when
downloaded. As a user, that's generally what I want to do. The only
problem is, that download takes a bit of time, so I may have wandered
on to something else sometimes.

(Of course,the flip side of this is that users will usually launch you
soon after download anyway).

It's not new - I think the 48-hour policy was included in the last

Market users yet; they still have only 24 hours to get a refund at the

[android-developers] Re: What is a WeakReference?

[Bob Kerns]

Um, slightly too strong a statement.

As soon as it's not used outside the cache, it's ELIGIBLE for garbage
collection, which is likely to happen soon.

There are times this is appropriate for a cache. If the objects you're
likely to look up again, are also likely to still be live, but
expensive to find, but can be expected to eventually drop out of use
(and liveness), then WeakReference is the right choice.

Or when your cached object is so big, you want them to go away as soon
as possible, but sometimes you reference them again before they've
gone dead, or before the GC actually got a chance to collect them.
Typically such a cache might only hold the one or two latest objects.

Not your typical general-purpose cache scenarios, however.

My main concern with your statement is that it would imply that
there's some mechanism that instantly nulls out the reference as soon
as the last live reference is dropped. It's not instant -- but that
WOULD be the ideal behavior for a GC, and one benefit of good GC
techniques is that they improve the odds of early collection of short-
lived garbage.

WeakReferences are more useful for associating an object for as long
as it exist, without prolonging that existence. I find it harder to
explain what that means, than to actually decide when they're needed.

Thanks anyway.

The solution I've come up with, is to create a pair of connected
LocalSockets in addition to my initial Socket, and a dedicated "noria"
thread that carries bytes from the OutputStream of the LocalSocket to
the InputStream of the Socket. Ugly, but working. But ugly ;-)

[android-developers] Re: What is a WeakReference?

[Bob Kerns]

Actually, I would disagree with this characterization.

In many cases, it's completely infeasible to maintain the information
you'd need. For example, if you provide an API that accepts objects,
and you maintain some internal information about them -- you have no
opportunity to track the client's use of the API. You COULD warp the
API to require the client track this information for you -- but they'd
get it wrong, and  the result would be a less-efficient and more
unreliable package.

It's also inefficient to track that. Especially in cases with circular
references, where simple reference counting cannot work.

In many cases, what you end up having to do is to implement your own
GC of these objects. Using WeakReference means you don't have to do
that; the GC itself informs you.

So it's not just an easier way to avoid poor programming. It's far
more valuable and essential than that implies.

Let's say I have a persistence package, that maintains a huge mass of
information for immediate real-time access about a player. It streams
in from a database, and stays around in memory.

Now, let's say I have a client of that, that's one node in a grid.
Players come and go from grid to grid, join the game, leave the game,
even permanently.

And not just players -- objects come, go, are changed. you have a rich
mix of lightweight objects, and heavy-weight back-end data in support
of them.

A WeakReference is really the only sane way to manage this. The back-
end can associate its data with the Player and Object's using a
WeakReference. When a Player disappears from memory, perhaps moving on
to another realm, the back end can then persist any changes and free
the storage. (It can even arrange to be notified of this, or it can do
it as a background sweep when not busy).

I cast that as an MMO game to grab your interest, but it could also be
something much more mundane, like a shopper's web session, and loaded
product description objects. If no shoppers are browsing a product, it
can be GC'd. In this case, you might use a map with a WeakReference
for the key, and a SoftReference for the data. The WeakReference
allows you to drop the mapping when the shopper goes away; the
SoftReference allows you to reclaim the storage if you're running low
on memory. Without the WeakReference, you'd continue to hold onto the
shopper or player AND the mapping, just by remembering the association
in a table.

[android-developers] ContactsContract.RawContacts two entry get Inserted for single contact why so ?

[Atul Raut]

Hi Google,

Need some info on
ContactsContract.RawContacts
 :

A row in the 
ContactsContract.RawContactstable
represents a set of data describing a person and
associated with a single account (for example, one of the user's Gmail
accounts).

I have found two entry for each contact get inserted when I do import
contact from SIM card.
Why it is so and is it right?

When I am trying to modify entry, compare function
from EditContactActivity.java get called.
/packages/apps/Contacts/src/com/android/contacts/ui/EditContactActivity.java

In this class in compare function checking accountType which is getting
null.
Wanted to know with which raw contact this comparison is happening ?
and Why it is getting crashed ?

Regards
Atul

[android-developers] getCellLocation() returns null

[Vinay S]

Hi,

I am trying to access the current cell location information. When I
try to call getCellLocation() it returns null.

I am unable to reason out this.. the same code works on 1.5 but fails
on 1.6 or 2.1.(Tested on G1 with 1.6 and HTC legend 2.1).

Can some one help me in correcting this bug? My code is below.


TelephonyManager tMgr = (TelephonyManager)
getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE) ;
outputView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output) ;

outputView.append("Device type:"+tMgr.getPhoneType()+"\n") ;

   GsmCellLocation gsmCellLocation = (GsmCellLocation)
tMgr.getCellLocation() ;
   if (gsmCellLocation != null) {
  String mCellId = "" + gsmCellLocation.getCid() ;
  String mLAC = "" + gsmCellLocation.getLac() ;
  Log.d("SDKService" , "Cell Id: "+mCellId+" LAC: "+mLAC) ;
  outputView.append("Cell Id: "+mCellId+" LAC: "+mLAC+" MCC: "+mMCC+"
MNC: "+mMNC+"\n") ;
   }


Also, I have added the following permissions :

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
CONTROL_LOCATION_UPDATES.

Do I need to add any other permissions?

Kindly let me know where I have gone wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vinay

[android-developers] Re: My MapActivity is not showing the map

[Amit]

Dear All,

finally i got the application to work successfully and see the map on
my emulator.

Here is how I have achieved it.

Actually the debug.keystore that i was using was wrong.

On my Windows XP system Earlier I was using the "debug.keystore" from
the location - "C:\Documents and Settings\Amit Mishra\Local Settings
\Application Data\Android".

Since it was not working I have come across a reference in which it
was said that on XP systems you should use the "debug.keystore" from
the location "C:\Documents and Settings\Amit Mishra\.android".

SO i have generated the API key again and put it in my layout.xml and
magic happened :)

Thanks everyone for there help.

Thanks & Best Regards
Amit

[android-developers] Market comments disappearing over last few days

[Geefer]

Hi, every time I have looked at the market comments for my app over
the last few days some more comments have disappeared. This is whether
I look on the phone or on the developer console.

Unfortunately the comments that Google has chosen to 'lose' are my
most favourable comments leaving several "This app suxss" type
comments by the usual Neanderthals who like to be abusive. I have
checked with a helpful user who left a positive comment and they have
not removed them themselves or de-installed so what is going on?

It is seriously hurting my downloads/sales and the impression that
potential users of my app see when they look on the market.
I have emailed Google but no reply yet.

Is anyone else seeing this?
Paul

[android-developers] Problem uninstalling an Application package from Android device

[Samuh]

We have an application which on start up pulls up a Terms and
Conditions screen. When the user declines these terms we have to ask
the user if he wishes to delete the package.

So, from within the application we launch the following intent:

Uri uninstallUri = Uri.parse("package:some.package.name");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, uninstallUri);
startActivity(intent);

This brings the Settings-> Manage Applications -> Uninstall page for
our application.

The user can go ahead and uninstall the pacakge. But when he chooses
not to(by pressing Cancel) he is taken to our Terms and Conditions
Activity. If he presses Back again, he is taken out of application.
The problem is that now if we pull the launcher menu, our application
icon does not show up. We can see it in the "Recently Launched
application list" and the application is still there on the device.

Is this because PackageManager disabled our application? If so, how do
we re-enable it?

What did we miss here?

Please help.

Thanks.

Most probably your app end being rather uninstalled than installed, and ends
with negative feedback and 1 star ratings in Market. Internal storage is quite
precious and  you shall not fill it with stuff you *might* want use
(or maybe not),
which looks like your case. Use SD card for this.

Thanks for the link, but the encoded video is not decoded by the
Mediaplayer on some devices. Do you know precise details on codec
which is correctly decoded by the Mediaplayer on every Android device?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Media streaming on Android

[Alex Xin]

Which format you tried to stream? If it's MP4, you need to "hint" that video
in order to make it stream ready for RTP/RTSP/HTTP streaming.

Use MP4Box to do that work

[android-developers] Android 1.6, RTP live supported?

[Yadnesh Phadke]

Hi All,

For quiet some time now I am trying to stream over RTP files on my machine
to my Android device.  I am using FFMpeg to do the task of reading media
files and do the RTP packetization.  I am using the FFServer to work as RTSP
server for my stream.

The stream Video is in H.264 format and Audio is in AAC format.  See below
the SDP that is returned by FFServer.H.264 and AAC are Android supported
media formats.  But I am getting error (see below) when trying to play the
RTSP stream using application developed using MediaPlayer class.

Is streaming of video and audio in separate streams packetized using RTP
format supported in Android 1.6?  If RTP live is supported by MediaPlayer,
Can anyone please give tips about which encoder variation does Android 1.6
expects to have been used?  Within H.246/AAC there are many variations,
probably Android does not like the encoder that I am using :)

I have already gone through a relevant post Playing live stream (RTP) in
MediaPlayer:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ebb4ca5b298a8d92/b4e94e9855cf2ff5?lnk=gst&q=RTP#.


But the details there added to my confusion:
I can see a post quoting that RTSP is broken on 1.6:

You simply pass the RTSP url to MediaPlayer (although I think
this functionality was somewhat broken before 2.1 so I can't be certain that
it will work in 1.6-2.0).

Also  I see another message that says it should work:

It is possible to play a stream by requesting it via a RTSP request
(both audio and video are sent over *RTP* and the MediaPlayer is able to
decode and play them).


Could anyone knowing Android internals or experienced with RTSP help resolve
the confusion?

[android-developers] Re: Blank black screen while transiting to new activity.

[Shekhar]

Hi Murphy,

Thanks for your suggestion.I have observed that when I changed the
activity launch mode to the
"standard" the black screen is not observed(due to delay in the launch
of the activity).

I am interested to know if generally there is a delay observed in the
the platform layer in the launch of "singleInstance" activity as the
same app code works fine with the launch mode as "standard".

Thanks,
Shekhar

Ah, somebody else found a more elegant solution involving
ParcelFileDescriptor:

   
http://www.mattakis.com/blog/kisg/20090708/broadcasting-video-with-android-without-writing-to-the-file-system

Bottom line:

  ParcelFileDescriptor.fromSocket(socket).getFileDescriptor();

reaches the well-hidden jewel :)

Oh, you want to find phone *numbers*. Standard Java I/O and those regex

[bschuhma]

Are you looking for Linkify, which uses built-in types or custom
regexps to find the URLs, phone numbers, etc. in your text to make
them clickable?  If you linkify a phone number it becomes clickable so
the user can call the number just by clicking (pressing) on it.

[android-developers] Re: Android market rules are changed, you must accept it within 30 days but...

[Tomáš Hubálek]

It is not only target audience but also supply.

I'm from country that can't even sell.

I have quite successful application (1300 users rated with more than
4,5 stars and I have a lot of positive comments) and currently I'm
covering costs of support and development from donations.

If Google does not give me a chance to sell using their processor I
will probably wait until they unpublish my app because of TOS
violation and leave Android at all.

I'm really frustrated from Google's approach to the developers. I'm
NOT citizen of some banana republic, I WANT give Google their portion
of the profit and they don't want it. They are loosing Android Market
opportunities in China an India and they are doing their best to lose
rest of the world too.

[android-developers] Re: Android 1.6, RTP live supported?

[Yadnesh]

I came across a topic "RTP stream video decoding" (http://
groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/
f963e8f7ac35b75b/481c181362eaa66c?show_docid=481c181362eaa66c#) on
this forum.

Here I see a post stating:
--
Essentially it seems that at this stage the only way to get an RTP
stream to work is a couple of hacks
--

Using this information, may I conclude that playing RTP live stream
over RTSP is not supported by default?

But Again a Google search tells me that many users are playing live
stream from Wowza media server.  Also there are notes suggesting that
users are watching RTP live streams on their Android G1.

Could anyone please clarify?

"Occasional" is a massive understatement.

Try searching the Android Market "Help" forum for "download unsuccessful",
"stuck authorizing", "stuck downloading", etc, etc.

There are a ton of these issues reported every single day and have been for
months if not years not. The temporary workarounds that sometimes work /
sometimes don't usually finagling with one's Google account settings, which
indicates this is a problem on Google's server side. This is a massive
problem that they're either unwilling or incapable of solving - and both
these options make me really really sad.

May not be the "best" way, but you have your query and you the page it gives
you, which has links for the other pages with the remaining results. So
parse the first page then follow the links to the next few pages and parse
those too.

[android-developers] Hide context menu

[André]

Hello,
I have a context menu that starts to do some calculations when you
press one of the context menu items. Like this:

case 0: {
...
...
calculations();
...
...
return true;}

While the calculations are made I have a progressbar that I want to
show. The progressbar is called from the calculations() method. The
problem is that I can only see the context menu while the calculations
are being made and the phone is more or less frozen.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Hi Guys,

I got the problem.
Its a mistake from my side.
I was giving an MP4 container format stream(test.mp4) for the PV OMX

We need to give elementary streams(e.g. test.m4v) for the component

Sorry for the confusions.

Something like

[android-developers] Re: use of fadeScrollbars

[Mark Nuetzmann]

yes.  you would want to do that anyway.  It is normally not a good
idea for the layouts to butt right up against the side of the device.
A little breathing room ads to the overall look of the app.  The
scrollbar simply displays over this 'whitespace' while scrolling and
then disappears.

thanks again Joseph

[scadaguru]

John,
Thanks for the reply.
I am trying this app on Nexus One so it has WiFi.
Your question about value being null is that you are referring that
getApplicationContext() or getContentResolver() returns null?
I will check out the values before passing to putInt. This fails on
AVD also but I can take that AVD does not have WiFi but still it has
system setting which has that WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY to read and write.
Thanks again for your reply and any further help appreciated.

[android-developers] Creating build.xml stops Eclipse compilation

[sasq]

I use Eclipse for developing, but want a build.xml in my project so
people can compile without it.
However, after I create the ant file with "android update project..",
Eclipse refuses to run my code since it does not find a target in the
ant file.

Eclipse really shouldn't care about this since it's not using ant to
build - but that's a different issue...

What is the easiest way to fix this problem?

[android-developers] Send/receiving files via Bluetooth

[David Given]

I would like my application to be able to send and receive files via
OBEX on Eclair. We have our own IANA MIME type.

My investigations of the (undocumented) Bluetooth APIs seem to suggest
that Eclair is hard-coded to only allow transfers of images, audio and
video. From the Bluetooth package manifest:

  
 
 
 
 
 
  

...and from the OBEX server itself:

  public static final String[] ACCEPTABLE_SHARE_INBOUND_TYPES =
  new String[] {
"image/*",
"video/*",
"audio/*",
"text/plain",
"text/html",
  };

Is this true? If so, is there any way around this restriction? Our MIME
type is "application/...", so unless we can somehow persuade the system
to handle other MIME types, we're pretty much stuffed.

This used to be part of the googlenav package, back when M3-rc37 of
the SDK was out in 2007.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/bc1e6e1524dcca5a/0c4d20a769e666e5?lnk=gst&q=googlenav+search#0c4d20a769e666e5
This stuff was quickly removed from the SDK though.

[android-developers] Re: CursorAdapter Problem

[blcooley]

For a CursorAdapter, you don't normally Override getView. Instead,
you'll do all that work in bindView, which takes a Cursor as an
argument (this Cursor is the one that you provide when you instantiate
a new CursorAdapter for your ListView).

So, basically, you can move your implementation of getView into
bindView and clean it up a bit (e.g., you won't have to instantiate a
Cursor, just use the one that is passed in), then remove getView from
your implementation.

Best regards,
Brian Cooley

[android-developers] INTENT_SEND and attached files

[David Given]

My app wants to send a data file by email.

However, the data only exists inside the database. There is no physical
file containing it.

In order to make it possible to send this using INTENT_SEND, I need to
return a file descriptor in ContentProvider.openFile(). This means I
need to write my data out to a temporary file on disk somewhere so I can
open it to get a real file descriptor.

However, the email app doesn't necessarily use the file immediately, and
*doesn't tell me* when it's finished with it, so I don't know when to
remove the temporary file. As the file is likely to be quite large I
don't want to keep it around for long periods.

What I'd really like to do is to be able to avoid the whole issue by
using a callback to synthesise the data as and when the email app needs
it, using some sort of pipe. Unfortunately due to the real file
descriptor requirement I can't use Java pipes, there are no Unix fifo
APIs that I can find, and you can't create a ParcelFileDescriptor from a
Unix socket, which was my other option.

Is there any easy way to do what I want, or do I need to start messing
around with TCP sockets?

Great insights.  I had broken everything out onto separate lines just
to force the compiler to evaluate each separately.  I never figured

FYI - these compiler optimizations especially affect scope-local variables.

Sometimes it helps if you move variable declaration from local scope to 
function scope.

[android-developers] Re: Weird sqlite behaviour. Can somebody explain?

[Sarwar Erfan]

Hi,

Please look at this page:
http://www.sqlite.org/datatypes.html
Quote from the page:
"SQLite is "typeless". This means that you can store any kind of data
you want in any column of any table, regardless of the declared
datatype of that column"

Look at Section 4 of the attached page.

May be you can try, the || operator with an empty string. Or, separate
the + sign from the number and use something like "+"||"39123123"
while inserting

Regards
Sarwar Erfan

[android-developers] Sharing code between applications

[BogDan]

Hello,

I want to create a "main" service/application which will provide
different functionalities to other applications.

According to android docs I can use elements from an application/
service in other. "A central feature of Android is that one
application can make use of elements of other applications (provided
those applications permit it). ...".
There is any examples/documentation on this direction?
TicTacToeMain/TicTacToeLib example is not helping me because it seems
"TicTacToeLib" will be embedded in final TicTacToeMain apk file.
Also I want to ask if is possible to detect if "main" service/
application is missing (if is missing I want to tell user to install
it, or to install it automatically).

Thank you,
Regards,

BogDan

[android-developers] Listening to camera image capture

[thiago]

I'm quite new to android development and I'm doing some experiments to
try it out. Currently what I am trying to do is every time a picture
is taken get it's file path. I understand that Broadcast Receiver is
one way of implementing listeners in android.
I successfully implemented one (which listens to AIRPLANE_MODE and
outputs log messages), but for camera pictures I can't find an
appropriate intent. I already tried MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE with no
success. Here is my current android manifest:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
   package="test.app" android:versionCode="1"
   android:versionName="1.0">
   
  
 


 
  
   
   


Is this possible to achieve? Any clue anyone?

Thanks in advance,

[android-developers] how to switch from Activity to ListActivity

[xrd]

Hi there,

This post probably shows my ignorance of Android coding, but here
goes.  I have a sample app I am developing which starts by extending
Activity.  I have a main.xml layout which works great.  On a button
click from the main layout I'd like to load a ListView.  I think I
understand how to use ListView and seed data into it.  I have created
a new layout which contains this ListView.

I am confused, however, how I switch from a regular Activity to a
ListActivity so I get the convenience methods like setListAdapter()?
Should I be starting with a ListView, and then drawing the other view
on top once the app starts by inflating the layout and using it?  If
not, how do I create a ListActivity object inside my app, and where
should I create that?  If you have a sample application or tutorial
that shows how to do this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chris

[android-developers] shouldOverrideUrlLoading not always triggered?

[Tim]

I'm using WebView in an attempt to provide a custom browser for a
particular website.

I'm confused about when shouldOverrideUrlLoading is called.  It seems
like when a web page sets location.href via javascript I do not get
the chance to override this?

Also perhaps when a new page is set via a form submission?  Overall
I'm unclear on the exact details of the function.

[android-developers] javaw.exe is taking up 50% of my CPU Usage!!

[Ollie]

Hi there, I'm trying to get on with doing some Android dev work. But
when I start to edit files in Eclipse, javaw.exe takes up 50% of my
CPU Usage and Eclipse crashes. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
I've tried simple possible solutions like killing certain processes as
well as doing a full restart of my laptop but still no luck.

[android-developers] Simulating a Slot Machine

[g0B]

Hi,

I am looking to simulate a slot machine, now so far I am just
animating drawables and looping it to create the effect. I was
wondering if I could achieve this through a listview instead. I tried
looking at this approach but I cannot get it to loop back to the
beginning after it reaches the end.

Is there a better way to achieve what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
Govind

[android-developers] trying to save to internal memory; length of content always returns 0

[bvh]

Heya,

I'm trying to write something to the internal memory, but whenever I
try to check if it has written the right information, it returns
length 0.

The following code is triggered by a buttonpress, which is suppose to
store the information the user has written in a textform. 'Displaybox'
is a TextView which contains the user's addition.

String FILENAME = "geonag.txt";
String stringtowrite = 
Displaybox.getText().toString();
Log.i("reached", "convert" + stringtowrite);
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME, 
Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);

OutputStreamWriter fred = new 
OutputStreamWriter(fos);

fred.write(stringtowrite.toCharArray(), 
0,
stringtowrite.length());
fos.flush();
fos.close();

Log.i("reached", "running text 1");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Log.i("reached", "after file creation");

// read this

FileInputStream fis2;
try {
fis2 = openFileInput(FILENAME);


InputStreamReader isr = new 
InputStreamReader(fis2);

Log.i("reached","length" + 
fis2.available());
char[] inputBuffer = new 
char[fis2.available()];
isr.read(inputBuffer);



String Retrievetext = new String(inputBuffer);
Log.i("reached", "extra"+ Retrievetext);
Displaybox.setText(Retrievetext);

fis2.close();
Log.i("reached", "running text 2");

} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
Log.i("reached", "file not found");
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

Log.i("reached", "ioexception");
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

}

Log.i("reached","length" + fis2.available()); --- this always seems to
return length 0.
Is there any way of checking whether the file is being created at all?
That would already help a lot.

Cheers,

[android-developers] Re: How do I set the selected state of an item in a gallery (the correct way)

[mnuetzm...@handmark.com]

thanks Joseph...  i have no idea why the selector background does not
JUST WORK...

I ended up having to 'force' the right backround in the onItemSelected
callback and in the getView of the adpater when the position ==
selected position of the gallery.

If anyone else knows why this is not working I would love to fix it so
I did not have to write custom code to handle what the platform should
be handling by default.

thanks, Mark

[android-developers] Inline "loading" graphic

[samspade79]

Hi all,

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to have a graphic
for "loading" showing in a view. I don't know what to call it but I
will describe it. The kind of "circle of dots" that rotate when you
are waiting for content to load, or an image to download, etc. Not the
progess dialogs, but the inline graphics. Is there a widget for this
or are people hard coding it? I tried an image view + rotate animation
but couldn't seem to stop it rotating with respect to 0,0.

Thanks in advance.
