[android-developers] Re: For a published application if I upgrade minSdk requirement to higher level what will happen?
Update your current app to do nothing more than show a dialog with a link to
your new app in the market.
This would annoy users of old devices even more. Imagine you download
an update, and then it's just a dialog that tells you to download an
app you can't find in the Market.
However, you could query the system version in e.g. onCreate of the
main activity (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK, do NOT use SDK_INT, it
doesn't exist in 1.5!), and if it's Android 2.0 (5) or higher, show an
AlertDialog that points to the new version. You might linkt to the
Market entry with one button, like
dialog.setButton(getString(R.string.market), new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(market://details?
id=your.package.name);
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
}
catch( Exception e ) {}
}
});

Why not?
Because the code can get pretty messy and bloated with lots of version
checks and reflection. It also forces you to do lots of things in code
that could otherwise be done in XML files, like using THEME_WALLPAPER.
Last not least there are some possibilities that can't be easily
worked around with reflection, especially added interface methods like
BaseExpandableListAdapter.getChild/ParentType(Count) that only work
since FroYo (while with older versions you have to bloat memory by
creating a new view for each element). I think there's also some
simlyfied button listener concept that was established after 1.5, but
I can't find it currently...

[android-developers] Re: LVL found to be easy to crack
Even native code doesn't help you, the call to the native method can also be decompiled and patched, without bothering with the native code at all. Like John says, it's an inherit problem of a language that runs on the vm: you can decompile the byte code. You can just make it harder to find the point to patch in the decompiled code. They will always be able to pirate your app, but it's not as easy as copying the apk and putting it up on a website anymore. So in that sense it helps.

[android-developers] Cannot get LED notifications to work on my Motorola Droid (with Froyo)
I know others have posted with this general problem, but I've read the Android developer page on the topic, as well as several forum and blog posts (such as http://androidblogger.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-how-to-use-led-with-android.html), and no matter what I do, the LED light will not blink. I've tried it with DEFAULT_LIGHTS: String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE; NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns); int icon = R.drawable.icon; CharSequence tickerText = Test 1; long when = System.currentTimeMillis(); ... Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when); notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_LIGHTS; final int HELLO_ID = 1; mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification); ...and with custom lighting settings: String ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE; NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns); int icon = R.drawable.icon; CharSequence tickerText = Test 2; long when = System.currentTimeMillis(); Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when); ... notification.ledARGB = 0xff00ff00; notification.ledOnMS = 300; notification.ledOffMS = 1000; notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS; final int HELLO_ID = 1; mNotificationManager.notify(HELLO_ID, notification); ...but nothing happens (no error and no light). I can get the same notification to play the default notification sound and to vibrate the phone, but the LED simply won't work (and I know the light physically works, as I see it flash for email and such). I thought perhaps it might be a color issue, but I've tried a few color values with no luck. I'm pretty much looking for any sort of suggestions, whether they be color values worth trying or any sample code from anyone who's successfully done LED notifications on a Motorola Droid running 2.1 or higher (I noticed one or two posts referenced some sort of bug with LED notifications on the Droid but no details were provided). I will also mention (in case it's relevant, though I doubt that it is) that I am defining a custom layout for my notifications.

[android-developers] Parcelable and Inheritance
Hi,
(1) This thing is working:
I have written a service (say, S) and a class (say manager, M) that
uses that service and they also have a common interface defined by
aidl file. I have a custom class (say, C) that is passed from M to S,
and so I implemented parcelable interface for C and everything works
fine.
public class C implements parcelable{
//parcelable related things
public int foo(int n){
//something;
}
}
object_of_M.method(new C()); // within this method C's foo() is
used.
(2) This thing is not working:
But now I am creating another class (say A) that extends C and it only
has overridden the method foo(). A looks like this:
public class A extends C {
public int foo(int b){
//this is the overridden method.
}
}
Then I call the method like:
object_of_M.method(new A());
My problem is, everything compiles and builds fine. But when I call
the 'method' of M, it is not working properly. foo() is not working as
a virtual method. Instead of calling A's foo(), C's foo() is being
called.
What change I need to do so that the virtual method overriding concept
still works in this case?
NOTE: what I am trying to do is to supply user specified logic to the
service S. And I want that user can just extend C and override
foo().

Your library seems to be linked against an internal system library (i.e. one that is not exposed by the NDK). If this is the case, this kind of problem is totally normal, each OEM and each platform release is free to modify these system libraries, and sometimes this will break apps that depend carelessly on them.

[android-developers] Dynamic preferences for a variable number of profiles in an Android app
Hi, I am looking for a way to create dynamic preferences where I don't need to hard code the preference key and I could have a variable number of preferences. Basically, my application will let the user create a multiple number of profiles and each of these profiles will save custom values for a fixed number of preferences. So this way, the user does not have to change the preferences every time he wants this app to run differently, he can just switch the profile. One way I think will work is by subclassing all the standard Preference classes and calling their setKey method with my custom preference key, containing the profile name, but this is ugly. So is there a cleaner and more standards compliant way to do this? Regards, Dhruwat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Help! Guys, I am trying to get the button in my layout to have focus as I am programmatically changing its state. My application is a video player using VideoView. I am toggling the state of the button based on where my video is. So basically, I am doing videoview.getCurrentPosition() and if it is in a certain window, I want to toggle my Button state (enabled to disabled and vice versa). The layout is LinearLayout and I have the VideoView and Button layed horizontally. When I first had the MediaController in my Video, the button would change focus on touching the videoview (which is when the MediaController would pop up). I later removed the controller because I didn't want the button state to change when the user touches the screen. I want it to change automatically. I tried all sorts of combinations possible. button.setFocusable(), button.requestFocus(), button.bringToFront() and so on. But none of them seem to work. Is there any way I can make it toggle programatically and without user intervention through touch? or is it impossible to do it with the VideoView?

[android-developers] Memory usage profiling an openGL application?
SHORT VERSION: How do I find out how much memory my openGL application is using at any given moment, including sounds, textures, and everything else? I've been wrestling with DDMS for hours and all it seems to show me is basic object allocation counts. I must be missing something, but I haven't had any luck searching. LONG VERSION: I've got an otherwise operational beta Android game which crashes out after a while on my device (Droid X). I'm fairly sure my problem is that my textures are not being properly cleared from memory. I'd like to confirm this fact before I start blindly making changes. My game does fairly frequent level transitions. During these transitions I typically dump a texture file, wait a bit, then load a new one. Over time the application performance degrades. After 10 or so transitions frame rate starts to take a nose dive. 10 or so more and it usually dies. Prior to dying I see log messages like this: 08-23 12:26:58.038: DEBUG/Cursor(1265): fillWindow is not executed because Cursor object is closed. 08-23 12:27:27.186: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Low Memory: No more background processes. And then eventually: 08-23 12:27:46.952: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Process com.thup.lunchbox (pid 4927) has died. There are no specific error messages of any sort. I've got lots of ideas for things to try to fix this (e,g, glDeleteTextures), but I really want a way to measure before I start trying to fix. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Service start intent problem
Hi,
I got the same issue, here's my code snapshot:
(code from the Activity that starts the Service...)
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString(key1, val1);
bundle.putString(key2, val2);
Intent intent = new Intent(TheActivity.this, TheService.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startService(intent);
(code that throws random NPE in Service class)
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
bundle = intent.getExtras(); // throws random NPE
}
I've never received the NPE on my HTC Hero with Android 2.1 update1,
but I've got 16 crash reports in the Developer Console, 10 from
OTHERS, 3 from Nexus One and 3 from Droid.
What is happening here?

[android-developers] [IPC] Return custom objects tree
Hi everyone :)
it's the first message I post in this group, even though I lurked and
posted from time to time in #android-dev.
I have a question about IPC.
At work we are developing 2 applications:
1 - a service running in background and preparing some data.
2 - an application that takes the data from the service and uses it
for something.
The problem is that service 1) should be able to pass an object like
class CustomObject{
private AnotherCustomObject aco = new AnotherCustomObject();
public AnotherCustomObject getObject(){
return aco;
}
}
and application 2) should be able to retrieve such object and call the
method getObject()
How do I achieve this? I was thinking of doing like so:
1) create an aidl file for AnotherCustomObject and for CustomObject.
Something like ICustomObject and IAnotherCustomObject.
2) on the service 1) side, make CustomObject implement ICustomObject
and Parcelable and AnotherCustomObject implement IAnotherCustomObject
and Parcelable and write the implementation of the methods.
3) on the application 2) side, import the aidl files and use the
automatically generated interfaces to manipulate the custom objects.
Is this the correct way to do this in your opinion? In point 2) should
I extend the stubs instead?
Thanks in advance for your hints.
Giordano

[android-developers] hyphenated Android directory names and SVN
I am having trouble committing to my svn repository changes made in files in my Android project in folders that have a hyphen in the name. In particular /res/layout and /res/layout-land. It *seems* that the svn client doesn't like the hyphen and truncates that segment of the url after the hyphen, thus mapping /layout and / layout-land onto the same url... Problems include:- - can't check in two files of same name, one each in /layout and / layout-land as they refer to the same URL - can't delete/add files from hyphenated folder as they don't exist/already exist - I suspect a commit from the hyphenated folder is overwriting the file in the non-hyphenated folder in the repository.

animation when I rotate the screen. Thus, I wanna know whether Google
forbid orientation animation on purpose, and if I wanna make an

[android-developers] Re: LVL found to be easy to crack
An official response would great. As I (and many others) see it the main reason for Android app piracy is paid app unavailability in most countries. When most users have the option of being honest and pay, most would. Until Google enables the full Market in all countries the incitement to crack and distribute apps remains. When LVL was announced I played with it a bit to see how easy it was to crack. The fact is; it's much easier than the article on AndroidPolice shows. No need to analyze switch statements etc. There is a much better place to modify the disassembled code that makes it trivial to implement a generic patcher using available open source tools and shell scripts. As to where in the (potentially obfuscated code) I refer to I leave that as an exercise for the crackers. Google surely knew all this even before LVL was announced...

[android-developers] airplane mode on
Hello :) Sorry for my English, I use the Google translator. I ask about a small application that I'm doing. This is a custom control panel with the things I most use my own phone, you know, something to personalize it a bit I put a direct button to call my home, a shortcut to the music player, another for a given e-mail address, etc.. Now I want to put a button to turn on airplane mode to at night, but this is where I'm confused. I found a lot about AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED, which I understand is used to detect changes in airplane mode, but can not get anything to work, or what I find or what I do ... or do nothing or give forced closure. At this point I should clarify that I'm using the permissions of the manifest (android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS, android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS ...) I really do not want a button that I change the status, what I want is a button that simply activate an airplane mode. Someone would have an explanation or example of how I can do this?

[android-developers] Widget RemoteViews question
I have created a widget that uses a sequence of images. I want to be able to change the sequence of images at runtime, depending on user configuration (e.g. Use blue theme, Use red theme). I thought creating a resource array for each sequence would work, but that generates an array of drawables, whereas the setImageViewResource(int, int) method on RemoteViews takes a resource ID. What is the best way to abstract the images that the widget uses, so they can be loaded during runtime? Ultimately, I want to be able to load them from another package, so that I can supply skins for my widget. Will I have to use setImageViewBitmap?

Re: [android-developers] Re: So can we use Directions API or not in Android?
And you are sure based on what? Your assumption? I'm just telling you what is written. Use of the Google Directions API is subject to a query limit of 2,500 directions requests per day. Nothing else is written there about the public limitations. I'm pretty sure the limitations is for all the applications because 1) for public usage, you don't need any key 2) from user point of view, who would request 2500 directions per day? I'm sure practical user maximum would be around 100-200 request. And this limitation is there IMHO for rendering usage of this API in a core of commercial navigation softwares (ie TomTom) impossible, because they would make a lot of money on this basic API (I don't own any of this software, but from what I know, that's just what they do - directions+maps+reading, that could be done with Google APIs in a few days). Although I'm sure I can be ultimately wrong (although in that case, I would be curious why noone would be exploiting these APIs to make profit). Best regards, Filip Havlicek 2010/8/24 davemac davemac...@gmail.com That doesn't sound quite right. I'm sure that the limit is either based on the signature of the app (questionable) or based somehow on the user who's using it. Either way I'm not sure how Google could possibly figure either one out. If it's the latter as I suspect, then I should be fine using the Directions API in my app, with some sort of notice to the user that only 2500 requests per day are allowed. If it's the former, then I'm most likely out of luck. Anyone else know? - dave On Aug 22, 11:31 am, Filip Havlicek havlicek.fi...@gmail.com wrote: As far as I know, the 2500 requests per day is for all applications out there (be it desktop, mobile or whatever), so your application really can't rely on this directions API since it can be brought offline in less then an hour by all the applications using it. (And in my opinion that's why noone is using it for anything but debugging.) 2010/8/22 davemac davemac...@gmail.com I would love to be able to use the Directions API in my Android app, but I'm confused by the information in the Directions API documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/ so the short form of my question is: can Android apps use the Google Directions API? It clearly states the intended audience includes mobile developers. But it also states that you're limited to 2500 requests per day. Does this mean my app, if deployed to thousands of devices, is in total restricted to 2500 requests per day? How could the Google server tell anyway? Based on IP address? In which case I may be okay. The docs also say no API key is required so again it would seem the Google servers have nothing to use to accumulate a counter of requests per day. Still, I don't want to be in violation of any Google Terms of Service. So is it okay or not?

Re: [android-developers] LVL found to be easy to crack
The article states: Even when mangles in ProGuard the licensing library code is easily found automatically. Since you compile the licensing library into your own code you can make some changes to it to make it harder to find when obfuscated though. Perhaps it is possible for Google to re-implement LVL with more attention to security, before it's widely rolled out? Doing it as part of Market application, with only simple allow/deny passed over RPC is probably more secure. Market app is signed with the platform key, and the firmware checks the signature, right? Various protection policies could be managed by the server, based on settings in the developer console. I think having two basic ones (strict and cached, with configurable frequency and number of checks) would probably cover a vast majority of what's needed. -- Kostya 24.08.2010 1:50, Brad пишет: Well, just as I was finishing adding LVL support to my apps, I come across this article: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08/23/exclusive-report-googles-android-market-license-verification-easily-circumvented-will-not-stop-pirates/ Of course we all knew that this new copy protection could be broken (as is the case for all DRM), but I guess I had hoped that it would take a little more effort.

Re: [android-developers] Re: LVL found to be easy to crack
So far, in all the cases of cracked apps we've seen, it's been because of the following: 1. The developer did not run a code obfuscating tool (such as ProGuard) on their application; and, 2. The developer implemented the LVL as a drop-in library, without making any modifications to the library code or API. Let be clear here: the LVL is not a panacea. As shipped, it will protect against casual copying. However, if somebody is determined enough to take a decompiler to your APK, you have to be a bit more diligent about how you integrate it. There's a reason that we ship the LVL as source code rather than as a JAR file. We encourage you to do things like change the entry/exit points, subtly tweak the logic in LicenseChecker and LicenseValidator, and even move all the entire library into your project's package. Think of the LVL as a framework for a license check mechanism: it's an excellent starting point, and all the tools (or rather, APIs) you need are there, but don't treat it as a black box. And I *strongly* encourage you to run a code obfuscater, such as ProGuard. If you decompile an application and see symbols like allow(), dontAllow(), LICENSED, NOT_LICENSED, etc., it gives crackers a pretty good hint what they need to modify. On top of that, pay attention to how you integrate the LVL in your application. For example, if your application displays a dialog on license failure, imagine what would happen if a cracker disabled the call to display your dialog (invoking a method is a single line of bytecode, not difficult to comment out). Will your application still terminate if the Exit button in that dialog never gets pressed? And even with all of this, I need to be clear: This is a client-side license check. It's not bulletproof -- this is the nature of client-side code. However, implemented properly, it will make your application *difficult* to crack. And as long as it's not possible to create an auto-crack that works on your application (which, if you follow the rules above, shouldn't be possible), then it's still an improvement over the old copy protection model, which only required a rooted phone to bypass. And if you feel this still isn't enough protection: If your application has an online component to it (for example, a multiplayer game), it's entirely possible to upload the license response to your server and perform a server-side validation there. (Remember: License responses are cryptographically signed. Even if the application has been cracked, the actual license response data cannot be tampered with.) You could then refuse to serve the online component of your application. Since this is all happening on the server-side (read: trusted code), this would be absolutely secure against attack. And yes, we'll be publishing some articles soon on how to use ProGuard and other techniques for securing your code against attack -- we do mention ProGuard in our documentation, but we should probably be more explicit about how to use it. -- Trevor Johns Google Developer Programs, Android http://developer.android.com On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 4:31 PM, Jonas Larsson jo...@hallerud.se wrote: An official response would great.

Since you compile the licensing library into your own code you can make some changes to it to make it harder to find when obfuscated though. Perhaps it is possible for Google to re-implement LVL with more attention to security, before it's widely rolled out? No. Again, this is client-side code. We could spend an eternity trying to strengthen it, and it would still be vulnerable to these kinds of attacks. Remember: We publish the source code. Anything that Google does is also visible to crackers. (Application developers have an advantage here: You can modify the LVL in unique ways and *not* publish your source code.) On top of that, once one person figured out how to crack the library, they could write an auto-crack that would work on all applications. The only way this works effectively is if you have heterogeneity in the license check code between applications. (Also: This isn't to say that there won't be future releases of the LVL where we improve the security of the code. I'm just saying that there's no point in completely re-implementing the LVL to magically solve all of these issues. That's impossible. It also implies that we didn't pay attention to security when the LVL was released -- this isn't true.) Doing it as part of Market application, with only simple allow/deny passed over RPC is probably more secure. Market app is signed with the platform key, and the firmware checks the signature, right? Unless you have an Android Dev Phone which allows loading custom firmware images. Or a Nexus One which can have it's firmware unlocked by running 'fastboot oem unlock'. Or you have a phone that's normally firmware-locked but somebody figured out how to root it anyway. And once that's done, you could modify Android Market to return an ALLOW response for all applications -- which would be very bad. And on top of that, you're vulnerable to somebody decompiling the APK and removing the code that performs the RPC check.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to get my head around how the vram is used in opengl,
specifically when and how to clean it up.
The Story So Far...
I have a GLSurfaceView into which I set a Renderer implementation
(called OpenGLRenderThread).
This view is created (manually, by calling new) in the main Activity
of the app.
When the onSurfaceCreated method of the OpenGLRenderThread is called,
I load a bunch of textures in a fairly standard way:
...
gl.glGenTextures(mTextureHash.size(), mTextureNameWorkspace, 0); //
mTextureHash is just a pseudo hashmap of texture structs,
mTextureNameWorkspace is an int array
...
// Then...
int textureName = mTextureNameWorkspace[textureIndex]; // textureIndex
is just an index into the mTextureNameWorkspace array
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureName);
The app runs fine, however when I try to clean up these textures at
the end of the level (the app is a game).. I do the following:
mTextureNameWorkspace[0] = texture.openGLName; // openGLName is the
int reference (textureName) obtained from the previous call to
glGenTextures
gl.glDeleteTextures(1, mTextureNameWorkspace, 0);
On the emulator it works fine, but on the device (HTC Desire, 2.1) I
get a GL Error 5572216
I have no idea what this error code is as I can't seem to find any
reference to it.
Now.. I understand that the VRAM references are bound to the thread
that created them. Hence they can only be destroyed by the same
thread. In my case, this thread is the OpenGLRenderThread (Renderer)
during the onSurfaceCreated call. Unfortunately the Renderer
interface does not expose an onSurfaceLost method, so I created my
own.
When the Level is complete, my main activity queues a request on the
OpenGLRenderThread using the following call to the GLSurfaceView:
queueEvent(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Reset the texture library
onSurfaceLost();
}
});
According to javadoc for queueEvent:
Queue a runnable to be run on the GL rendering thread
Ok fine, so this should mean that the OpenGLRenderThread is
performing the call to onSurfaceLost. This method is the one that
then calls glDeleteTextures, and produces the error.
So.. what am I doing wrong here? I am not destroying the
OpenGLRenderThread or the GLSurfaceView at any point (other than game
exit) so I'm worried that if I don't explicitly delete the textures my
vram will eventually fill up, or worse get into a corrupt state.
The only other thing that may be relevant is the use of a
ViewFlipper. Because I want to load each level asynchronously I am
using a ViewFlipper in the main activity to flip to a loading screen
while all the level resources are rebuilt. Hence when the call to
glDeleteTextures is made, the GLSurfaceView is not actually visible...
not sure if this is meaningful or not.
Anyone got any bright ideas here?
Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: glDeleteTextures produces strange error (5572216)
Hi.. thanks for the insight.
I actually considered the same case and implemented and override for
the surfaceDestroyed method of the GLSurfaceView, just to see if it
was being destroyed.
Sure enough, the gl surface is destroyed when I flip it out of view
with the ViewFlipper.
That's fine, as I can assume that the textures are destroyed
automatically, but just out of curiosity I disabled the view flipper
to prevent the surface destruction, and even when the surface is not
destroyed I still can't seem to delete textures. I am 100% sure that
it is the Renderer thread creating, and destroying the textures,
however clearly this is NOT the thread that owns the GL context. I
also tried executing the texture delete from within the activity
thread (via a queued message), but same problem.
I'm at a bit of a loss because they are the only two threads that I
create.. but I got side-tracked on some unexpected crashes in native
land (which may or may not be related (http://groups.google.com/group/
android-developers/browse_thread/thread/d7967cc89fe6c9cd#)) so I am
staying with the destroy the entire surface approach for now.
Not ideal, but works and I need to move onto other things so it'll
have to do. I'd love to understand this more as I hate to use these
sort of work-arounds just because I can't solve the underlying
problem.. but too much to do...
Thanks again.

I have a GLSurfaceView into which I set a Renderer implementation
(called OpenGLRenderThread).
This view is created (manually, by calling new) in the main Activity
of the app.
When the onSurfaceCreated method of the OpenGLRenderThread is called,
I load a bunch of textures in a fairly standard way:
...
gl.glGenTextures(mTextureHash.size(), mTextureNameWorkspace, 0); //
mTextureHash is just a pseudo hashmap of texture structs,
mTextureNameWorkspace is an int array
...
// Then...
int textureName = mTextureNameWorkspace[textureIndex]; // textureIndex
is just an index into the mTextureNameWorkspace array
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureName);
The app runs fine, however when I try to clean up these textures at
the end of the level (the app is a game).. I do the following:
mTextureNameWorkspace[0] = texture.openGLName; // openGLName is the
int reference (textureName) obtained from the previous call to
glGenTextures
gl.glDeleteTextures(1, mTextureNameWorkspace, 0);
On the emulator it works fine, but on the device (HTC Desire, 2.1) I
get a GL Error 5572216
I have no idea what this error code is as I can't seem to find any
reference to it.
Now.. I understand that the VRAM references are bound to the thread
that created them. Hence they can only be destroyed by the same
thread. In my case, this thread is the OpenGLRenderThread (Renderer)
during the onSurfaceCreated call. Unfortunately the Renderer
interface does not expose an onSurfaceLost method, so I created my
own.
When the Level is complete, my main activity queues a request on the
OpenGLRenderThread using the following call to the GLSurfaceView:
queueEvent(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Reset the texture library
onSurfaceLost();
}
});
According to javadoc for queueEvent:
Queue a runnable to be run on the GL rendering thread
Ok fine, so this should

[android-developers] Max bitrate for mp4 files in Android
Hi All, I have 2 mp4 video files for playing in Android. Here is the information on both those files: mp4 File 1: Audio Codec: AAC Audio BitRate = 16000 Audio SampleRate = 16000 Audio SampleSize = 16 Video Codec: H264 Video BitRate = 114000 Video FrameRate = 15 Video Resolution = 176x132 Total BitRate = 16000 + 114000 = 13 mp4 File 2: Audio Codec: AAC Audio BitRate = 24000 Audio SampleRate = 22050 Audio SampleSize = 16 Video Codec: H264 Video BitRate = 36 Video FrameRate = 30 Video Resolution = 480x360 Total BitRate = 24000 + 36 = 384000 When playing mp4 File 1 (low bit rate) in Android Emulator 2.2 device, both audio and video gets played out successfully. But, when playing mp4 File 2 (high bit rate) in Android Emulator 2.2 device, only the audio gets played out successfully whereas the video doesn't get displayed. The progress bar shows the progressing of the video but the actual video is not visible. Only black screen is visible. But when trying to pull the progress bar, the video frame at that particular position gets displayed like an image. I am not sure of what the problem might be with the high bitrate video file. Does anybody know the reason for this issue? Are there any known problems in playing high bit rate videos in Android? What is the maximum recommended bit rate / frame rate values for the mp4 videos in Android? Will changing any of the above-mentioned parameters of mp4 File 2 fix this issue? Expecting some guidance at the earliest. Thanks and Regards, Darshan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hi Boban,
if you see Android written or Android picture in some blue colors on

Are you good at learning quickly on your own? If no to either, probably a good idea to take some time to learn Java on it's own. It has some quirks you need to learn.
