Re: [android-developers] Re: "IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view" related issue

[Frank Weiss]

I'd hazard a guess that it has something to do with
android.view.ViewRoot.scrollToRectOrFocus(). Can you narrow it down to
some user action that might invoke that method?

[android-developers] AutoCompleteTextView and Ajax-like request

[Ken]

Hello,

I am trying to implement an AutoCompleteTextView backed by HTTP
requests. i.e., the content of the suggestion comes from a web service
and is obtained by a HTTP request (for example, the symbol lookup
field on Google finance).

Here's the code I wrote to initialize the autocomplete field:

final AutoCompleteTextView field =
(AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.lookup_input_field);
List suggestions = new ArrayList();
final MyAutoCompleteAdapter adapter = new MyAutoCompleteAdapter(this,
R.layout.auto_complete_dropdown, suggestions);
field.setAdapter(adapter);
field.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}

public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {}

public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int
count) {
String newValue = field.getEditableText().toString();
adapter.valueChanged(field, newValue);
}
});

And here's the valueChanged method of the adapter. The suggestion
retrieval is done in a thread to ensure responsive UI.

public void valueChanged(final AutoCompleteTextView view, final String
value) {
final Handler handler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
clear();
List suggestions = 
(List)msg.obj;
for (String suggestion : suggestions) {
add(suggestion);
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
};
new Thread() {
public void run() {
List suggestions = 
SearchHelper.search(value);
if (suggestions.size() > 0) {
Message msg = new Message();
msg.obj = suggestions;
handler.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
}.start();
}

Here's my problems: a) The suggestion dropdown doesn't always show up
on each keystroke, even though I know the SearchHelper has
successfully requested and returned suggestions based on user input.
b) When I select an item, the onTextChanged seems to be invoked again
and the suggestion dropdown shows up again.

Sorry if someone has discussed this issue but I wasn't able to find
any examples for my scenario.

Thanks!

Ken

Re: [android-developers] GOOGLE, WHAT IS GOING ON with the Active Install %? Bug in install to SDCARD is my guess!

I don't know about this stuff in Market, so I can't help you there, but I do
know that apps on SD is purely a platform feature, Market has no idea about
it at all, so it would have nothing to do with this.

Re: [android-developers] Re: KeyEvent Methods

[Dianne Hackborn]

Well that makes no sense.

But...  you can use the times in the events, or if you don't like that use
SystemClock.uptimeMillis() at whatever points you want to measure the time
and compare them.

I'm not sure what more I can say here.

[android-developers] Re: KeyEvent Methods

[Tez]

okay.

I want to measure the time interval between keypresses.

Say A->B time interval 60ms.
IF B was presses before A was released, a negative value should be
calculated. How Do i do this?

Re: [android-developers] Reducing Permissions

[Brad Gies]

Yes, a contact picker would be great, and would work for me ;), 
especially if it had the ability to return multiple selections.


I would actually like that better than accessing them myself, if it was 
a standard part of the framework, because then users would be familiar 
with it, and I wouldn't have to support it.. or them using it ;).


I'm fairly sure it would solve many other developers issues also.

Sincerely,

Brad Gies

THAT does remove a very handy feature, that I would keep if I
could just ask the user the one or two times they would actually
use it. It's actually a HUGE issue for me because not keeping it
means that many users may not find my app all that useful because
they won't get it setup to find their friends easily, while
keeping it means that many users will never install it. Damned if
I do... Damned if I don't... and right now there is no good answer.


What if you could launch a contact picker for the user to select an 
e-mail address that is returned to you?  We need to build out the 
contacts interaction so that it has richer interactions to provide UI 
for other apps without them needing contacts permission themselves. 
 (And to also use FLAG_GRANT_URI_*_PERMISSION to return permission to 
access a contact entry that is selected.)  But even before that, 
someone could write their own app that provides something like this 
facility, without using FLAG_GRANT_URI_*_PERMISSION, to anyone who 
wants to use it.

[android-developers] Re: Creating and using a “com mon platform” jar in Android - what works?

[DJC]

UPDATE!

Hah... typical... when I moved all the resources out of my platform
and into my app I did not properly pass these down from the app layer.
Thus, the code example I gave had no error. Using an intent rather
than linking decouples "arguments passed" from "arguments expected" of
course - and the compiler does not complain. With a corrected app,
this works.

Though I'd think creating a binary distribution platform is not
uncommon, I'm not finding much doc on it so I'll keep adding any
significant findings as I open the doors ... hope it's of use to
someone.

EditText passString = (EditText)
layout1.findViewById(R.id.pass_string);
passString.setText("passwordString");

[android-developers] Re: Same SMS is received multiple times- HTC Tattoo

[Donald]

hi Amit,

It's a bug in HTC tattoo.
In HTC tattoo it always send two messages.
the solution for this is you send the message as multiple sms


SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
ArrayList smstext = sms.divideMessage(body);

/**
 * will send a sms. sendMultipartTextMessage is used because in 
HTC
 * tattoo will send 2 messages if you use sendTextMessage
 */

sms.sendMultipartTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, smstext,
listOfIntents,
listOfDeliverIntents);

cheers,
Mike

[android-developers] Re: Is MapController's zoomToSpan() execution deferred?

[Chad McQuillen]

That sounded like an excellent suggestion so I gave it a try.  The new
code looks like this:

mapController.zoomToSpan(latitudeDelta, longitudeDelta);
/*
 * If the MapView has not been drawn yet, we won't be able to retrieve
an
 * accurate zoom level.  We have to queue up the work to make the
adjustment,
 * if necessary.
 */
mapView.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (mapView.getZoomLevel() > 20) {
mapView.getController().setZoom(20);
}
}
});

And, that still didn't work although I fully expected it to.  But,
after debugging it awhile I noticed some strange behavior that I did
not expect.  First, I wanted to check that my runnable got queued up
OK, and it ran when I expected it to run.  It did not.  Before I
explain what I observed let me first explain my activity / view
structure.

Tabbed Activity w/ 3 tabs
   - Tab 1 - ListActivity
   - Tab 2 - MapActivity
   - Tab 3 - Plain 'Ol Activity

So the sequence I did was:

1.  Enter Tabbed Activity, ListActivity in Tab 1 is shown by default.
2.  Click on Tab2, the MapActivity.

I would have expected the Runnable to be executed at this point.

3.  Click 'back' to exit Tabbed Activity.
4.  Re-enter Tabbed Activity, again ListActivity in Tab 1 is shown by
default.

And, this is the point at which the Runnable was executed.  I am at a
loss as to why.

P.S.  I must have misunderstood getMaxZoomLevel() because that didn't
return what I thought it would which is the zoom level at which you
still get the satellite imagery and not the blank white screen w/ grey
X's.  So, I went back and hard-coded to zoom level 20.

[android-developers] Re: Goodbye friends and thanks for all the help.

[Lance Nanek]

Even the country list provided isn't very useful for developers trying
to figure out if they should make the button going to the market for a
paid app from a free app visible to a particular user, or any other
form of linking to paid apps. The list includes the United States, but
AFAIK Puerto Rico doesn't have paid apps despite being in the US, for
example. They should really list MCC/MNC, or provide an API for this.

[android-developers] Re: "IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view" related issue

[Lance Nanek]

I have Donut customers who get this crash, so it can still happen
there. T-Mobile G1 and T-Mobile myTouch 3G particularly. Also MB501
users, but that's Cupcake. Very frustrating because the stack traces
don't mention any of my own code, so I can't figure out what is
causing it or how to avoid it.

On Donut the stack traces I get look like this:

In case that helps anyone. I'm not calling the method directly myself.

[mani]

Thanks Mark.!!

I tried implementing the activity.this.startActivityForResult()

[ //results.this.startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0); ]

I get error like
"No enclosing instance of the type results is accessible in scope"

When i read about this error i found it is "When we try to instantiate
the inner class without instantiating the base class"

But i couldnt map it to my code what is the mistake i am doing. Sorry.
Could you please help me sort out this.?

[android-developers] Re: Goodbye friends and thanks for all the help.

[brucko]

>Yes, its extremely frustrating ..
...

> I hate it when business models restrict innovation.


I've moved from frustration to resignation now. Personally, I feel
that Google has been, and still is, one of the most significant
driving forces behind innovation in IT today. Things to some extent go
where Google takes us, and it was generally the open inclusive nature
of Google and Android that brought us to the table - hoping for a few
scraps;).

But reality at some point has to take over.

Developers in Australia (  others in places such as Canada, Ireland
and many countries too numerous to name but worthy to mention) are
simply not part of Googles business plan ATM.

Essentially, there has been no new countries added to the list for
some time. Links like this

http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=143779

only add to the confusion.


I suppose I've been made to feel a bit like Marie in the film "When
Harry Met Sally"

Marie, Sallys' friend is having an affair for years with a married man
who is always promising to leave his wife.

Marie: I don't think he's ever going to leave her.
Sally: I know he's never going to leave her.
Marie: You're right, you're right. I know you're right.


Lets be honest with ourselves.

Developers in countries not already enabled for paid  apps are not a
priority for Google - despite the promises.

With PayPal coming, it might be happening (although let's not hold our
breath).

But I doubt GoogleCheckout is happening - or it would have already.
It's GoogleCheckout that demonstrates Googles commitment. At the risk
of sounding very full of myself



I'm right, I'm right.

You know I'm right. ;)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Launch Local Drawable Resource in the Gallery app Using Intents

[Dianne Hackborn]

What are you actually trying to achieve here?  Gallery generally expects the
things it operates on to be in the media provider.  If they aren't... well,
maybe you can get it to work, but there is a good chance you are going to
have inconsistent behavior between different platform versions and devices.

[android-developers] Re: Launch Local Drawable Resource in the Gallery app Using Intents

[Christopher]

I've hacked around with the code from 
http://mobile.photoshop.com/android/developers.html
to get about half way there.  This code brings up the Gallery and when
an image is selected, it opens PhotoShop Express to edit the image.
I've hacked the intent that to point to the Gallery viewer (the
fullscreen view of an image, not the thumbnails) by replacing
ACTION_EDIT with ACTION_VIEW.

Now, this still grabs the images from the SD card; I'd like to grab
them from my drawable resources embedded in the app.  Thoughts?

[android-developers] Re: Goodbye friends and thanks for all the help.

Yes, its extremely frustrating ..
I've now shelved several apps because they require a paid license
revenue model that isn't profity worthy without access to the market.
I'm focussing on Adware instead.

I hate it when business models restrict innovation.

[android-developers] Re: Licensing Verification Library & Apps Solely for "Unlocking"/Removing Ads

[GJTorikian]

Perhaps you're right.

I added the LVL library to my free app's build path, and exported that
APK. The Developer Console lets me upload the new APK, at least. I
assume that clicking "Publish" won't introduce some other check.

Note that all I have done is add the library, and the appropriate
permission:


I haven't implemented any of the server checks, but if the Dev Console
lets me get this far with my app, that's a positive sign.

[android-developers] Re: ByteBuffers and GLES

The Javadoc for the OpenGL ES API does a good job explaining why you
can't use wrapped arrays for everything:

But if you really want hardware details, here's a nice document for
the type of graphics in the Droid:
http://www.imgtec.com/factsheets/SDK/POWERVR%20SGX.OpenGL%20ES%202.0%20Application%20Development%20Recommendations.1.1f.External.pdf

There's lots of stuff for older chips like the MSM7200 in the G1 out
there as well, although you may have to look in a BREW oriented
document or two to find it.

[android-developers] DDMS Heap Dump permissions problem

[mrmanuke]

I'm trying to get a heap dump from ddms in Eclipse, but it gives me
the following error:

"Unable to create HPROF file for application 'space.shhh'. Check
logcat for more information."

And here is the logcat output:

D/ddm-heap(19153): Heap dump: file='/sdcard/com.bunnies.Shhh.hprof'
E/dalvikvm(19153): hprof: can't open /sdcard/com.bunnies.Shhh.hprof-
hptemp: Perm
ission denied.

I've tried this on an actual device (HTC Desire w/ 2.1 Eclair) and an
emulator (Donut). Both gave exactly the same result as above. Also, I
do have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest. I've
searched and couldn't find anything about anyone ever having this
problem. Any ideas?

[android-developers] ByteBuffers and GLES

[Samsyn]

So, I've been a good boy (I think) and used ByteBuffers (and
ShortBuffers and IntBuffers etc) for all the vertex lists and textures
I feed to GLES.

But can someone point me to the basic architecture of the 'typical'
mobile GPU (or, I guess, the OpenVR Droid GPU at least).  For example,
does a mobile GPU have its own texture/buffer memory, or does it
always share 'system memory' ?

If it's going to copy the data I give it into 'gpu ram' anyway, then
have I just added another buffer in the bucket brigade of memory when
I use a ByteBuffer?

GLES seems perfectly happy using a direct java array for the data, but
I imagine that does nasty things like locking memory when the GPU
touches it, when maybe  memory outside the garbage collection heap
doesn't have that problem (and just gets leaked when I mis-manage
it :-)

I can't say that I see any performance difference between using
ByteBuffers or just direct java arrays.  But most of my meshes (and
all of my textures) are created just once.  But some meshes (for
example, particles) get regenerated every frame.  And for that, I do
the math in a java array and then allocateDirect a suitable
Buffer before passing it to GLES.  That smells really awful
to me and I guess I am just wondering how big a sin it would be to not
use Buffers for these dynamic meshes?

I guess I just feel like I am flying blind without some GPU
documentation to look at.

[android-developers] Android file system security

Hello Friends,

I am wondering that how android is providing security against

This should be possible as it's standard networking, but you'll need to do a
couple things. First, make sure that the emulators, if they are hosting
servers, have mapped ports that are visible to the laptop. See about port
forwarding with
adb.
Second, make sure that the firewalls on the server laptops are disabled or,
better, that the ports are opened in the firewalls. (Of course, for
security, if you disable the firewalls, make sure the laptops are off the
Internet.)

I don't have any experience with bluetooth in emulators, but Android
Bluetoothcertainly
has support for client-server connections.

Seems plausible. If the application itself initiates the download it can
choose to store in it's data folder, on the sdcard or you could create a
DataProvider that wrote the data off to some server hosted on a laptop
somewhere.

Re: [android-developers] Android streamer Class

[Jeremy Wadsack]

MediaPlayer will stream MP3 (shoutcast) streams on FroYo. It will only
support 3GP before that (unless you run through a proxy and remove the ICY
header or download the file first). I don't know about other formats but
suspect you'll need to include your own codec decoders and that probably is
best done in C++ with the Native Toolkit.

[android-developers] onEditorAction and requestFocus()

[CasaDelGato]

I have a case where there is an EditText field the user enters
something into, then presses the Enter key.
In the onEditorAction() method, I do some validation, and if it's not
a valid input, I want to put the focus back on the EditText field.
I've found that using .requestFocus() won't work - probably because
the focus change happens after the call to onEditorAction() and
overrides my call to requestFocus().

So, how do I put the focus back on the EditText field, from within the
onEditorAction() callback?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Eclipse can't connect to adb

[Steve Mathews]

So another bit of info, which may be obvious for anyone experienced, but I
did not realize. I get the "Failed to parse the output of 'abd version'"
message if I just launch the ddms from the command line. So it seems that
the connection between ddms and adb might be the true problem.

I have also confirmed that with none of the programs (eclipse, adb and ddms)
running that nothing is binding to port 8700. Once I start eclipse it binds
to the port as I would expect.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Licensing Verification Library & Apps Solely for "Unlocking"/Removing Ads

I doubt they can readily detect the licensing bytecode in all its

licensing records for a formerly free app.

No, all video playback eventually involves a SurfaceView. You just do
not have as much flexibility with one of those (e.g., in a drawer, in
a ScrollView) that you do with regular widgets.

Re: [android-developers] Re: "IllegalArgumentException: parameter must be a descendant of this view" related issue

[Frank Weiss]

I suppose the exception is being thrown by some API method (or
posisbly an internal SDK method) that takes a parameter of type View.
Have you identified the API method? Another thing to do is get the SDK
source and search for that error message.

What if you could launch a contact picker for the user to select an e-mail
address that is returned to you?  We need to build out the contacts
interaction so that it has richer interactions to provide UI for other apps
without them needing contacts permission themselves.  (And to also use
FLAG_GRANT_URI_*_PERMISSION to return permission to access a contact entry
that is selected.)  But even before that, someone could write their own app
that provides something like this facility, without using
FLAG_GRANT_URI_*_PERMISSION, to anyone who wants to use it.

[android-developers] Re: when call is rejected , i want to close the activity

[Indicator Veritatis]

The most important suggestion I can give to you is to re-write your
post in coherent English. Then follow the guidelines of
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.

For once we see the errors in verb tense in your very sentence, we
know that we cannot trust you to avoid making mistakes confusing
'this' and 'that' when you say 'that activity'. Especially since as
written, what you say happens makes no sense. You can ALWAYS call
'finish()' on your own activity. You should not be calling it on
another activity.

You can also call Activity.finishActivity() to finish a 'child'
activity, i.e. one that the current Activity opened as described at
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#finishActivity%28int%29

 Hi,

 What is the basic difference between the PhoneWindow and MidWindow

 I found that the emulator version takes the implementations of the

 Also, I found that PhoneWindow handles the call settings
 implementation and the same is not there in MidWindow?

 Please someone help me pointing out the differences between both the
 policies and under which circumstances which one will be used..

 Please help me

[android-developers] Re: Developing Android REST Client Applications

[authorwjf]

In its most basic format, calling a rest service is simply doing an
HTTP call.  For example:


public void callSomeApi() throws Exception
{
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
new AuthScope("api.service.domain.com", 443),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username",
"password"));

HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://api.service.domain.com/
rest/entry_point");

ResponseHandler responseHandler = new
BasicResponseHandler();
String responseBody = httpclient.execute(httpget,
responseHandler);

//REST APIs typically return JSON or XML
JSONArray response = new JSONArray(responseBody);

int items = response.length();

ListView list = new ListView(this);

for (int i = 0; i < items; i++) {
ListItem item = new ListItem();
item.label =
response.getJSONObject(0).getString("item_you_were_looking_for");


}

httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();

}

 This is a pretty bare-bones HTTP example, and if suffers from two
problems.  The first is it's not very robust.
 This you can get around if you are semi-competent by adding error
handling and whatever else.  The second,
 is that on the android platform these sorts of long running I/O
operations need to happen on their own thread.
 That's fine and dandy so long as nothing interrupts the thread, like
an orientation change or an incoming call,
 but we all know that is exactly what happens on a phone.

 For me a workable solution was to create a service in the start up
activity of my application.  So when someone
 starts my app, the onCreate method first starts the backgroundIO
service, and then starts the first
 UI activity.

   /**
 * This is the standard Android on create method that gets called
when the activity initialized.
 */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Start up background I/O service
Intent svc = new Intent(this, BackGroundIO.class);
startService(svc);
//Start up first UI
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyFirstUI.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
}

 So now the question is what is BackGroundIO, and how does it interact
with the UI?  In my case the background i/o
 class was simply a serialized request queue with static members for
adding / getting requests.  In other words the class
 had a couple members for adding requests, retrieving them, and
clearing any pending I/O.

 public class BackGroundIO extends Service{

private static Thread mWorker = null;

public static long addToQue(ApiRequest request) {
//mechanism for adding requests
//ApiRequest is some custom class that defines all the
elements you need to make your api calls
//Probably username, password, entrypoint, and a UI runnable
or handler for signaling on completion
//return a unique request identifier to the UI
}

public static ApiRequestResult getResult(long identifier) throws
RequestNotFoundException, RequestStillPendingException {
//mechanism for returning a result from memory or file
//return the ApiRequestResult for some unique identifier if
found
//if it came from disk don't forget to delete it from the file
}

public static void clearQue() {
//mechanism for clearing any and pending requests
//usually called on shutdown
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// Not using IPC so just return empty
return null;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mWorker = new Thread() {
public void run() {
while (true) { //this is my main looper
//Is there a pending request?
//Yes
// 1 CallSomeApi function shown above.
// 2 Remove the request from the queue of
pending requests
// Is the UI Activity who made this request
still around?
// YES
//   1 Signal the UI the result is ready
// NO
//   1 Save the result to disk and let a UI
retrieve it later when he wants / can.
//No
//Sleep for a short bit
}
};
mWorker.start();
}
}
}

As you can see this is again overly simplified and I'm typing it in a
text editor so there may be a syntax issue
here and there as well.  But hopefully you get the idea and this helps
you

Re: [android-developers] Is MapController's zoomToSpan() execution deferred?

The zoom may be deferred if the MapView hasn't been drawn yet.  Have you

Whatever you thought you could do with your phone but didn't find the
app that suited that specific need.

Beside, it's not because someone implemented one app doing something
that you can't find a better/smoother/faster/funnier way to do it. Try
four different twitter app to see what I mean.

Good luck with that.

[android-developers] obtainBuffer timed out in AudioTrack.write()

[sasq]

Don't know why I bother asking here but, you never know, right?

Anyway - after stopping and restarting playback of an audiotrack
stream, on some devices I consistently get;

W/AudioTrack( 2453): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?)
0x64acc0 user=0001, server=

after freezing for a couple of seconds. This happens whether I just
pause() and flush() my audiotrack or release() and recreate it.

Anyway to avoid this?

[android-developers] Re: AudioRecord weirdness on Samsung Moment (SPH-M900)

[Steve Hugg]

The device in question is running 1.5, FWIW - therefore it would get
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO.

[android-developers] Re: Developing Android REST Client Applications

[Arjun]

In short the classes which extends contentprovider are mainly used for
database specific operations
Service API is used to run services..the services can be something
like email poller or news feedser

If u want to connect to external servers use apaches http classes

Thanks,
Arjun.

[android-developers] AudioRecord weirdness on Samsung Moment (SPH-M900)

[Steve Hugg]

Our app has a problem with AudioRecord where the recorded audio is
very slw (sound like it's 2x slower). We use
AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize to try 16000 Hz first and then back down
to 8000 Hz if that function returns an error. So my guess is that the
audio is reported as 8000 Hz even though it's really sampling @ 16000
Hz.

It seems that the problem could also be that the output stream is
stereo, not mono. We're passing AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO on API
levels 5 and above and AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO
(deprecated) on the earlier devices. This seems to be how it works for
AudioTrack. But is this how it works for AudioRecord?

[android-developers] Re: Licensing Verification Library & Apps Solely for "Unlocking"/Removing Ads

[GJTorikian]

Before I continue the experiment, I took one more look through the
docs and found this gem:

"If your application is already published as free, you won't be able
to upload a new version that uses licensing."

I am guessing that if I try to include the LVL Library project into my
free app, I won't be able to upload a new APK to the Developer
Console. I'm not at my workspace now but when I get a chance to
verify, I will.

I suspect that you cannot have a SlidingDrawer in a ScrollView.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Eclipse can't connect to adb

[Steve Mathews]

I do have the tools dir on the PATH (and now CLASSPATH also because your
comment made me second guess the docs).

I can also verify that killing and restarting the server does not clear up
the issue. I also verify the adb process is not still running after doing
the adb kill-server. I also tried restarting eclipse after restarting adb. I
still see the same errors as before.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Need Help - Sliding Drawer Exception

[kivy]

Hi there,

I just ran into a problem with my SlidingDrawer. I got a
RuntimeException telling me that my SlidingDrawer cannot have
UNSPECIFIED dimensions (see Catlog output).
If I understand it correctly this means layout_width and layout_height
are empty, but as you can see from my xml code (see further below), I
have specified them.
I really don't know what I should, if anyone can help me out here,
that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Please Help - key down behaves badly

[avigadl]

I have a linear layout with several custom view and button.

Whenever I press a  key down I would like that only one view will
respond to it.

However, now when I press a key I see that te focus goes to the button
in that layout.

How to make an activity to respond to te key down event before moving
te focus to the button?

Thanks in advance!

That's probably what you are looking for..

[android-developers] Re: J2ME to Android

[kypriakos]

Hi all - trying this one again .. any ideas? If the Connector class
was not
created in the original Android Java, what else can be used in its
place?
3rd Party software or any other part of the API? Thanks.

Well, they're applications, not part of the OS. They can be replaced,
removed, modified, etc.

Short of writing your own chat client, I don't see how this will be possible.

[android-developers] Creating and using a “common platform” jar in Android - what works?

[DJC]

I am sub-dividing an app I have into "common platform" and "app"
layers so that I can distribute the platform as a jar for use by
partners - and retain my IP.  I now have two different Eclipse
projects. I moved all resource references into the app project - the
platform project gen directory is empty. I compiled and jar'd the
platform, imported the jar into the app project, marked the jar for
export, and successfully compiled and installed a test app:

public class NotifyService extends Service {
...
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
myNotify(intent.getIntExtra(EXTRA_ICON),...));
}

private void myNotify(int iconResource, String s1, String s2,
String s3) {
Context c = getApplicationContext();
if (H.VERBOSE) Log.d(TAG, "myNotify()"); //$NON-NLS-1$
Notification n = new Notification(iconResource, s1,
currentTime);
Intent nextStep = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri));
PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getActivity(c, 0,
nextStep, 0);
n.setLatestEventInfo(c, s2, s3, pending);
mgr.notify(1, n);
}...

The test activity launches as expected and I get the LogCat() message
from this service. But no notification is shown and no error is logged
- its just silent.

The only argument I've not passed in is the context. I didn't pass
that as I read that getApplicationContext() returns the single global
context - I can't imagine passing it will make the difference.

Anyway, I want partner apps to make use of my platform - which in turn
connects to services, content providers, the web, the works. Anyone
offer some guidance?

Many thanks!

Mark,

Thanks for the reply.  It's unfortunate that these things are not

they're not supported.

Any other ideas on how I might achieve my goal here?  I want to launch
an application when a chat session is started by a message from a
specific account arrives.  I fear I may be out of luck.

Re: [android-developers] Using socket in a service communicating with more activities...

[Jeremy Wadsack]

Probably the best path to take would be to move your thread into a
Service.
Then use 
Intentsor
binding to connect activities to the service. Similarly you can have
the
service broadcast intents and use a
BroadcastReceiverwith
an
IntenetFilterto
listen for those messages from the service.

Have a look at the Application
Fundamentalsin
the Dev Guide and the sample code that ships with the SDK for examples
of
how to do this.

QFE - It doesn't sound exciting, but having a look through the
documentation, class by class, is a fantastic way to learn about the system,
how it's structured, what kind of utility classes exist, and stuff that will
give you ideas that you otherwise wouldn't have thought of.

The content: schema seems very sparsely documented, though.  Is there

Can I have a ContentObserver monitoring chat sessions and then react

[android-developers] Re: Best resource to get started with Android development.

[Tim]

Dear David,

If you want to get started developing Android apps really quickly you
may wish to consider rapid application development tools such as our
MobiForms Developer.  MobiForms replaces the need to download 100s MB
of files and learn Eclipse, the Android SDK, Java and XML.

MobiForms is ideal for creating database orientated business apps.
MobiForms was the world's first rapid application development tool for
Google Android.  Additionally MobiForms apps will run on other
platforms like Windows Mobile without any reconfiguration.

With MobiForms apps that would traditionally take hours or days to
create can be developed in minutes using mainly drag and drop
programming rather than labourious low level Java or C programming.

For more information see our web site at: http://www.mobiforms.com.

Kind regards,

Tim @ MobiForms

Re: [android-developers] New Developer

[Frank Weiss]

It really helps if you already have working knowledge of Java and Java
debugging. Depending on the kinds of apps you want to build, also
helps to have working knowledge of one or more of the following:
networking, graphics, OpenGL, client-server, XML and XML parsing.

Although you don't need to use Eclipse, most developers use it and if
you already use it, it helps.

Please pore over developer.android.com before trying to ask "noob"
questions. Search for, build, and run sample code.

And of course, google, this discussion list and some people like stackoverflow.

[android-developers] android.media.MediaPlayer Uri port

[Rico]

Trying to use MediaPlayer to play an MP3 file hosted remotely on a
server that is serving the file up on a non-standard port (e.g. 8080).

Code looks like this:

android.net.Uri uri = android.net.Uri.parse("http://www.xyz.com:8080/
sample.mp3");
Log.d("debug", "port: " + uri.getPort()); // just verifying
Uri.parse() was ok.  prints out port: 8080.
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(context, uri);
mp.prepareAsync();

However, I can see on the server that the request is made on port 80
regardless of the port set in the Uri.  If the file gets server up on
port 80, then it plays fine.

Should I be setting the port elsewhere instead of in the Uri?

Thanks.

The sort of anti-piracy system you're after is essentially what games
consoles use - it's very easy for the developer, in fact, they need do
nothing at all and (for games distributed online) they are piracy
proof.

But the costs of this system are enormous, and problematically, fall
squarely on the device manufacturer (Microsoft/Sony). If Android were
to try and adopt this sort of scheme, you can forget about

- Competing hardware vendors
- Frequent new hardware releases
- Cost-competitive devices (ie they'd be more expensive than the
iPhone)
- Open source

Android obviously chose to go down the route of having a competitive
hardware and software space, at the cost of having piracy.

There is a phone platform that matches the above criteria, the iPhone,
but Apple didn't bother to make the investment in security required so
you get all the downsides and none of the upsides.

This is easily defeated by modifying the (open source!) runtime to
dump the decrypted version.

Worse, once done it applies to every app. We're back to the universal
crack.

The reason I keep harping on about strong, app specific code
obfuscation etc is precisely because you DO need to encrypt your app
but you DON'T want to do it the same way as everyone else, which an
Android provided solution would imply.

Nothing says there can't be a PC-style reusable toolkit that you can
easily integrate into your app, but it'd be provided by third parties
rather than the Android project.
