[Kumar Bibek]

Wrap_content is not suitable for listview's height. AFAIK.

Either you set the height, or allow it to expand, by setting
fill_parent

Re: [android-developers] Re: Implement seek bar for playing videos

[Ashok Jeevan]

Hi,
I want something similar to the Youtube player where the user is able to
scroll the thumb of the seek bar, so that the video starts playing from the
position of the thumb.

Right now, in my app, I am able to move the thumb of the seekbar forward and
backward, but the video is not playing accordingly.

Has implemented the OnSeekBarChangeListener and handled onProgressChanged()

Thanks

Hi Pete,

I got about 6 reports from LG Ally users having this same issue with

Unfortunately, I have not figured out if there's anything I can do
from my end to prevent this from happening in the future.

Anybody have any info on this?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Problem with reading contacts on Samsung Galaxy Europa

[Zarah Dominguez]

I was also able to insert a contact into the address book.  So far it
looks like the only action not supported is viewing the whole contacts
list.

Pasted the stacktrace I got in StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3547118/accessing-the-phonebook-on-galaxy-s-crashes-the-app

I guess what happened is that Samsung's own contacts app has an
incomplete manifest.  Oh well, for the meantime I managed to get
around it by disabling the button to access the phonebook using
PackageManager so that users won't be confused.



-Zarah.

[android-developers] Implement seek bar for playing videos

[Ashok Jeevan]

Hi,

I am using seekBar to show the progress of the video which I implemented
using Media Player / Video View.

But as the thumb of the seekBar is moved back and forth, the video is not
starting correspondingly from the position of the thumb.

Is there any way to locate the position of the thumb so that the video can
load from the seekBar's thumb's position?

Thanks

Many many thanks Google 

This has been a long long time coming, glad the day has finally
arrived ( I was thinking Australia was still too small a market &
would likely miss out again... )

Look forward to you bringing the rest of the world in as well.

[android-developers] Problem in using Document Builder parser on Device

[Mrid]

Hello All,

I am using document builder parser for parsing xml response from the
server. It works fine on emulator (SDK 1.6 and 2.2 both) but when I
tried to use that on LG Moment (SDK 2.1), it failed.
Found out that it is not able to load the xml response as a whole
document. Also,  XML response is very small, so it cant be a memory
problem. Can anyone suggest an approach to solve this??

Thank you

[android-developers] Re: Setting/Passing values

[davemac]

You should also check out this handy method:

PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(Context context, int resId, boolean
readAgain)

Assuming you've defined default values for preferences in your
preferences.xml file, this method will use those to initialize your
saved preferences file. Which means you shouldn't have to define
default values in your code. Which is nice.

[android-developers] Re: New countries !!!!

[Denis Souza]

I just registered here in Brazil. It links to your AdSense account so
you can receive the payments. I thought it was a pretty clever way to
do it, using the existing AdSense system so they wouldn't have to
implement payment systems for every country. Maybe the restrictions to
Czech Republic and Poland have something to do with the availability
of AdSense in those countries (can anyone from those countries
enlighten us?).
It's lame, but having 20 additional countries selling apps is a pretty
big deal (from the handful that there was before) and I'm sure they'll
continue expanding, especially with Android's increased growth in
market share.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with interecepting outgoing calls on HTC Desire

[Denis Souza]

Anyone had any progress or ideas with this?

It's a bit hard to test it when you don't have the device.
Anyway, I got two reports from Motorola users with the same problem...
but the interesting thing is they only started having any problems
after upgrading to my app's latest version.
It occurred to me that the phone might have a limit to the time it
waits for a response from the app (since my latest version does a few
extra things before dialing) but I wrote a special super fast test
version for one of the users and it still didn't work. Also I tried it
on my HTC Hero making the phone wait 10 seconds but it worked fine,
which means that's probably not the problem.

Nicholas, you said you had the Desire with 2.2. Have you tried playing
with the intent filter's priority values? Maybe using 1 or 0 or even
removing the priority parameter altogether? That would be my next
hunch.

Personally, I recommend people stick with the basic primitives that
are shared between the two environments, using JSON for anything that
is complex. The precise roster of Java types/classes and Javascript
counterparts is undocumented AFAIK, and the code is rather nasty...

BTW, the preference chapter in my book has not changed that much from
earlier editions, so you're welcome to read the relevant chapter in
the most recent Creative Commons edition:

http://commonsware.com/Android/Android-1_4-CC.pdf

That should give you more context for all of this preference stuff.

[android-developers] WebView - Documentation of JavaScript and Java Interaction

[Dan]

Hello Developers,

I have found that there is a significant lack of documentation of
WebView's ability to communicate with Java via WebView.addJavaScript()
method.  First, the debug document
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debug-tasks.html#DebuggingWebPages
appears to no longer work.  Second, what object types should we expect
when going to and from JavaScript. I have done some trial and error
and it appears that complex types can cross the boundary, for example
java.util.Vector. However when a Java method returns a byte array to
JavaScript it has a type of undefined and I have been unable to coerce
it to any other type. Finally, there is great potential with this
interface and with some more attention we could go far.

You have to give it a default value, in case the preference has not
yet been set by the user. That is the second parameter to getString()
("Value to return if this preference does not exist", per the
documentation):

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html#getString(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String)

I repeat, you have to give it a default value, in case the preference
has not yet been set by the user.

This should not be needed.

I looked at the URL's that you provided and tried some coding with it,
but I am failing to understand
the proper coding methods.

In the main, I have the options menu as:

// options menu

// Called only the first time the options menu is displayed.
// Create the menu entries.
// Menu adds items in the order shown.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Setup")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_preferences);
menu.add("About")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);
return(super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu));
//return true;
}

// handle menu selected
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){

 if (item.getTitle().equals("Setup")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.tccalculator.setup.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_SETUP);
return true;
 }

 if (item.getTitle().equals("About")){
 Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.tccalculator.about.class);
 startActivityForResult(intent, MY_ABOUT);
return true;
 }
return(super.onOptionsItemSelected(item));
//return false;
}

I believe that I need this to read the preferences still in the main
and set a textview as such:

public void onResume() {
super.onResume();

SharedPreferences prefs=PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
tv.setText(prefs.getString("tview1", ""));

The preference name for this textview is called "tview1".  According
to the example, it looks like you have
to give it a value.  I just want to read that preference, and take the
value it has, and place it in the TextView01 text
but according to the example, you have to give it a value.

In the setup, I created this:
@Override
protected void onStop(){
   super.onStop();

  // We need an Editor object to make preference changes.
  // All objects are from android.context.Context
  SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME,
0);
  SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();

  editor.putString("tview1","this is a test");

  // Commit the edits!
  editor.commit();
}

The PREFS_NAME was declared at the top:
public static final String PREFS_NAME = "calcsettings";

If I am following this, the "editor" creates the name/value pair
("tview1" = "this is a test") then writes it to the preferences
by calling the editor.commit();

What am I doing wrong?  As I am testing, I am attempting to creating/
retrievie
one preference (name/value).

Thanks again for all your help.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with reading contacts on Samsung Galaxy Europa

[mikedroid]

actually it does show me a list (calling ACTION_VIEW or ACTION_PICK)
using ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. but we wanted to call the
samsung's native contacts activity which is named something like
PhoneBookTopMenuActivity. Also i noticed that instead of the two
actions i;ve mentions they are using this activity with filters
action=main; category=launcher which is odd right?

[android-developers] scaleType="fitXY" works scaleType="centerInside" doesnt

[Shawn Brown]

Hi,

If you know or can guess please tell me why:

In the FrameLayout below, scaleType="fitXY" will adjust the image to
fit the screen but scaleType="centerInside" doesn't.  I need the
aspect ratio preserved which fitXY doesn't do.  Please look at the
-> below.






http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
   android:orientation="vertical"
>

>>>->  no effect, image is too large





--> scales but aspect ratio lost


   










Thanks,

Shawn

Hey its definitely a step in the right direction.
And should hold out hope that it will be rolled out further.

Its certainly opened up the type of apps that I will consider
developing now that I can sell into the market.

Ever looked at the Settings application in your device? That's a

[android-developers] Re: VerifyError reloaded

[DanH]

Of course, the real problem is that the verifier is mis-designed.  I'm
guessing it uses reference chains.  I redid the one for iSeries to use
sparse bit vectors and cut the heap requirements by about a factor of
100, and made it much faster as well.

This still sucks as there's 18 new sellers vs 20 buyers, which
means that developers from 2 countries (namely South Korea and
Poland) are still left behind and can't sell anyting to users in
their own countries. That's lame.

[rb]

Thanks for shedding some light on this issue.

Here's some of my code:

--- Main --

package com.calculator;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;

public class Calculator extends Activity {

private static final int MY_SETUP = 0;
private static final int MY_ABOUT = 1;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

-- code of main calculation --

// options menu

// Called only the first time the options menu is displayed.
// Create the menu entries.
// Menu adds items in the order shown.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
menu.add("Setup")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_preferences);
menu.add("About")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_info_details);
return true;
}

// handle menu selected
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){

 if (item.getTitle().equals("Setup")){
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.calculator.setup.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, MY_SETUP);
return true;
 }

 if (item.getTitle().equals("About")){
 Intent intent = new Intent(this, com.calculator.about.class);
 startActivityForResult(intent, MY_ABOUT);
return true;
 }
return false;
}
}
--- Setup --

package com.calculator;

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.Arrays;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.RadioButton;
import android.widget.RadioGroup;


public class setup extends Activity {
public Boolean changeGroup = false;
public int fps;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.dialogsetup);

-- code of setup  Here you check for various clicks for radio and
regular buttons. --
}


I was going to save and read the data from a file which would be
stored
in the phones default applications directory as one file.

Not sure how you would use the preference activity for storing name/
values as
I need to store and retrieve 6 different items.

An example would be:
radioButtonValue = "30"
editTextValue = "5:02"

I need to take those values and use them in the main screen for either
calculation or display.

Any chance you could reply with some code on how I could utilize the
preferences activity
from the code I have provided?

Effective today, developers from 20 additional countries (Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong,
Ireland, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia,
Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan) can now sell
paid apps on Android Market. Over the next 2 weeks, users from 18 new
countries (Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, and Taiwan) will be able to
purchase paid apps from Android Market.

[android-developers] No access to Errors reports for unpublished apps?

these error reports as long as app is unpublised. When I publish it
back, "Errors" reappears. Is is it me, or Market
sucks there too?

That sounds like:

-- the "setup screen" should be a PreferenceActivity
-- the main activity should load its preferences in onStart(), or use
a preference-change listener, to pick up the changed preferences

If, for whatever reason, you want to collect preferences by means
other than the preferences system, and so your setup screen is just an
ordinary activity, have the main activity use startActivityForResult()
and have the setup screen use setResult() to pass back the data via
Intent extras.

However, I really recommend that preferences be collected by the
preference system wherever possible. People bitch and moan about how
Android applications have no consistent UI. Preferences is one of the
few places where Android makes it relatively painless to offer a
consistent UI.

[android-developers] Setting/Passing values

[rb]

How do you set/pass values from one screen (activity) to another?

What I have in the R.layout.main view labeled Calculator contains the
code for doing calculations.
The main.xml contains the layout (view) of the main screen.

I have created an options menu which has another screen which shows
you setup (R.layout.setup).
The dialogsetup.xml contains the layout (view) for it.

When you press the menu button, you get the options menu.  If you
select "Setup", then
it will display the setup screen.  Now what I need to do is take the
values from the setup screen (radio button and text values)
and place them in the main screen so that when you exit the setup
screen and go back to the main
screen, you can take those values and use them in your main code.

Any coding would be appreciated.

[android-developers] JavaScript Debugging

[Dan]

Hello,

I've been trying to debug JavaScript in the emulator using the
instructions provided at 
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debug-tasks.html#DebuggingWebPages
but it has not worked. I am not using a customized WebView so I have
not overridden  WebView.onConsoleMessage(). Also, the same page works
well in Chrome and Firefox.  Is there anything I could be missing?

[android-developers] "Unknown" group for SyncAdapter

[Stephen Lau]

I've built my own SyncAdapter and things seem to work okay, except on 
TouchWiz & Motoblur phones, there seems to be a label set as "Unknown"


On TouchWiz, this is visible if you look at the linked contacts for a 
contact, it shows "Unknown" as the provider.  Similarly if I go to the 
Groups tab in Contacts, it calls the group that all my SyncAdapter 
managed contacts are in as "Unknown".


It seems like I'm just not setting a label somewhere somehow, but I 
can't figure out where.  Anyone familiar with this?

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL lockups in 2.2

[timedilation]

Jeremy, Glad to note that is has so far worked out for you.

Leigh, to your point, I also tested this with an explicit call to
eglWaitGL() function in my own version of GLSurfaceView (basically
this call was added just before the eglSwapBuffer() call). This also
fixed the freezing in my case. I just resorted to using glFinish()
because that way I didn't have to use my own version of GLSurfaceView.
So if Google changed their GLSurfaceView in the next release, my code
will not be affected much.

When I mentioned this to a Google developer advocate and he said that
this still needs to be fixed in the OS since it is an OS level bug.
eglSwapBuffers() called glFlush() internally anyways but it ends up
getting deadlocked once in a while on some of these devices we have
seen. Explicitly calling eglWaitGL() or glFinish() in the renderloop
*before* the eglSwapBuffers() appears to have fixed this issue in many
(if not all) cases. I still have users reporting to me that their
phones freezing even with the latest update, albeit much less
frequently.

Let's hope for Google to fix this once and for all in their next
release.

You might try using full urls and implement you own shouldOverrideUrlLoading():

public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient
{
  public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading( WebView view, String url )
  {
view.loadUrl( url );
return true;
  }
}

I'm guessing it's failing because your hrefs to your named anchors
aren't full urls, or you need to tell your webview to follow your
clicks, or both.

I updated one of my apps on Tuesday.  I have noticed that the active install

think as people update the app, it is putting the active installs back to

against it. Then I refactored the packages to notjava.beans.**. So
anyway, sometimes you can work out a substitute for the missing Java
classes and alter all references to point to that substitute.
I've answered to this question a number of times recently... The 
quickest way to do this is not by refactoring the classes, but by using 
static bytecode manipulation tools. They are able to replace the 
references directly in bytecode, without need of patching sources and 
recompile them. They are available both for Ant and Maven.

[android-developers] Mount sdcard USB Storage through adb.

[Nathan]

I can't seem to find a command that will allow me to mount/unmount the
sdcard from the adb prompt.

>From the documentation, it appears that this can't be done in an
emulator, so I am trying with a Nexus One.

I would like to simulate the card being mounted or unmounted while my
Activity is active. I can't do this on the Nexus One through the
notification menu, because this will pause and then resume and
activity, during which time storage card broadcast notifications are
not sent.

I know other devices can and do mount the storage without leaving an
Activity, in particular because they will automount the storage
whenever the USB is plugged in (according to users, even if you tell
it not to). For that reason, this is a case I want to test.

 You might want to look into the eglWait functions that are used to 
synchronize with the native rendering system.

Maybe this is not a permanent fix and maybe it has just reduced the
frequency of freezings. But as I mentioned before, so far I have not
seen a single freeze since I made that change 2 days ago.

Not sure if the following will fix the freezing in all cases but it
appears to have fixed it in my app. I still have my fingers crossed
about it although my app hasn't frozen for a while now - even when I
let it run overnight on an HTC Desire 2.2.
I first took the source code of GLSurfaceView into my custom class and
added this line immediately before the eglSwapBuffer() call in the
EGLHelper class function:
mEgl.glWaitGL();
This is a blocking call that waits for all existing GL commands to be
processed before returning. With this line, the freezing seems to have
stopped.
I then realized that the glFinish() function does the same thing. So I
went back to using the built-in GLSurfaceView and added the glFinish()
call at the very end of my renderer.onDrawFrame() function. This had
the same effect and I haven't seen a freeze until now. I suspect this
call is just making the loop wait explicitly for all GL commands to be
processed before rendering again. I took a look in the profiler and
this call did not add any extra overhead (likely because the
eglSwapBuffers() is also a blocking call and does the same thing -
except that it freezes randomly).
If the freezing starts again, I will update this post.
Hope this works for you all out there too.

[android-developers] A problem regarding Alarm Clock application in Android

[Tarun S]

Hi,
I am pretty new in Android.
I have noticed a problem in Alarm Clock application that comes with
the Android Codebase.
Let me explain the problem first.
Current Time is 12:15 pm. Snooze time is 10 mins.
I have set an alarm at 12:30 pm.
I have set another alarm at 12:35 pm.
When the fist alarm fires I snooze the alarm. It will ring again at
12:40 pm.
In this case the second alarm which I have set at 12:35pm does not
fire.

Please help me in this.
As per I know in Android at a time one alarm can be set using
AlarmManager.set () method. In this case in AlarmReceiver.java class
when on alarm fires it set the next alarm. But if I snooze the alarm
it will overwrite the previous alarm the snooze alarm. I may not be
correct. Please tell me the solution of this problem.

Thanks and Regards,
Tarun S

I fixed that one too while I was at it.  The limit was intended to
prevent the verifier from soaking up huge amounts of memory, but (a)
the limit is too low, and (b) there are better mechanisms in the
system for doing that.  So now it's just a warning that says, "hey,
this is huge".

With both fixes in place, the original code passes.

Not for me.  When I first got into the beta program I began making a
lot more than the ad guys I was using before: Greystrip and AdMob.
That huge increase in revenue has since gone away and now I see no
reason to choose AdSense over anyone else.

All my ad integrations were reviewed by Google before launch.  There
was only the tiniest chance of any mis-clicks because my banner
placement was not close to anything else the user would ever click.

I saw a 90% drop in AdSense revenue overall from June and July to now.
 And that's the difference between thinking I could do Android
development fulltime or not.  I can only hope it picks back up before
the holiday season.  It seems more likely that ship has sailed.

Re: [android-developers] Icons to support different screens

Actually, just confirmation that the 24, 32 and 48 are the right sizes 
for the smaller icons is quite helpful. I can guess at the correct 
sizes for the larger icons, and then adjust as I test the different

The "reference" device densities are: 120 / 160 / 240 for ldpi / mdpi / 
hdpi respectively.


http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#range

This means that if you design the artwork you call "larger icons" at a 
certain size, then the hdpi version should be 6/4 (== 3/2), and ldpi - 
3/4 the size of the mdpi version (so hdpi artwork is exactly twice as 
tall / wide as ldpi).


The mdpi size should preferably be such it can be scaled to 3/2 and 3/4 
of the original size without producing fractional pixels.

rightly so, since I'm pretty bad at it.


What I found useful is to design my artwork in Photoshop at mdpi (== 
"normal") density first, trying to use shape objects and to avoid 
pixel-based tools as much as possible. This is important for next step: 
scaling the image up in Photoshop to go from mdpi to hdpi, since shapes 
scale up much better than raster data.


At this point I have with two Photoshop files, one for mdpi and one for 
hdpi. I then use "File | Save for Web & Devices" to export optimized 
.PNG images.


The mdpi and hdpi already have the right dimensions for exporting, so no 
problem there. To create the ldpi version, I export the mdpi file and 
specify smaller dimensions right in the export parameters window. I 
found that Photoshop often produces a better quality reduced size image 
than Android does at runtime, so having pre-built ldpi images is useful. 
Not all images need this, though: for some, it's ok to just have the 
mdpi and hdpi versions, and let Android do the scaling down for ldpi.


This workflow could be simplified by working in Photoshop only at hdpi 
density, and scaling during export for mdpi as well as ldpi. My first 
Android phone was an HTC Hero (mdpi), so I kind of made mdpi the center 
of my artwork-related process.


And finally, the link below lists standard icon sizes for various screen 
densities depending on where and how they are to be used (Launcher, 
Dialog, List View, etc.)

[android-developers] Re: Icons to support different screens

[Yahel]

I'm not sure this might help you, this is what I use on the server
side for my app 'a World of Faces' : It allows to get an image to a
specified size no matter what. It's very efficient and does not
consume much cpu or memory on the server. I tweaked the code quite a
lot for my purpose but it works fine :

// Smart Image Resizer 1.4.1
http://shiftingpixel.com/2008/03/03/smart-image-resizer/

People can then send you any size of graphics and you'll be able to
use them however you like.

Re: [android-developers] scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack doesn't work with ListView

[Romain Guy]

The track is not the scrollbar, the track is what the scrollbar
"slides" into. The default theme does not have a track anymore. The
track is normally shown only when the view can scroll and this
attribute can be used to show the track even when you can't scroll. In
your case I believe you want to disable scrollbars fading instead. Or
you should provide your own scrollbar track drawable.

That is a feature of HTC Sense. It does not work that way on all phones.

I am not aware that HTC has documented any way to specify this. My
guess is that they are simply distinguishing between ones they created
and other ones from elsewhere. Earlier versions of Sense had those in
separate groups rather than intermingled.

When I add a widget, there always the widget label name let's say

How do I add the creator of the widget like "HTC". All my current

Conversely, the reason I can't give you any more advice is that my
brain shuts down with your proposed UI. I just have no idea how you'll
ever get that to look good across multiple screen sizes. Any UI design
that effectively has to assume certain dimensions scares the heck out
of me.

You and me both.

Well, it's more that they are a logical set of sizes if they are
applied to different densities. I can't tell you what is "right",
since that applies aesthetics, and there are hamsters with greater
aesthetic sense than I possess. But, they're a good starting point.

With respect to your larger icons, I have no clue what to tell you.


Hah... Mark... now you're scaring me... you know as much about screen 
size/density etc. as anyone I know :).


In my case, I absolutely do not have the ability to learn this... my 
brain totally shuts down as soon as image/screen size/density etc. are 
mentioned. I just don't have any interest in graphics or display issues 
:).but ask me to design a web service to move data around... and 
great things happen :). My preferred method of working has always been 
to build it and make it work well, then turn it over to someone with 
some artistic ability and have them make it look nice :).


Actually, just confirmation that the 24, 32 and 48 are the right sizes 
for the smaller icons is quite helpful. I can guess at the correct sizes 
for the larger icons, and then adjust as I test the different AVD's...


Sincerely,

Brad Gies

[android-developers] ResourceBundle.Control supported?

[Eurig Jones]

I have code that subclasses ResourceBundle.Control which allows it to
support XML based property bundles in an external library that I'm
using. Android doesn't like it though even though ResourceBundle
itself is supported...

Unable to resolve superclass of package.util.XMLControl (366)

XMLControl above extends ResourceBundle.Control.


I would suggest that this is a bug, although not completely sure
before reporting it. Anyone?

There are a couple of projects on code.google.com, using mupdf, if I

But I think the license is GPL, so you must release your software as GPL

I create a (free) website for each app and put up a capture of every

function, I add commends below the relevant screen shot on the
website. After a while, most questions have been answered on the
website and I can just email a link when a repeat question comes in.

Sure. On the other hand, I am not aware of a PDF viewing library for

[android-developers] Cryptic ANR trace file from Android Market

[LinusOnline]

I'm analyzing some ANR traces that were reported by users of my
application via Android Market. I have some questions about ANR traces
in general:

How reliable are the traces? Most the traces I have make sense, but
many don't. There is one which doesn't mention any of my code at all,
like it's been created after my application was closed.

Other traces are missing one or more of the permanent threads of my
program. When, and under what circumstances, could a single thread
within a process be killed by the system? Or could my whole
application have been killed, while part of the trace went through
just before?

Limited version w/ ads for me. Don't do nuisance screens, that'll just annoy
people.

My $0.02. If you're already releasing a paid app, you might as well release
a free version - it's not much more work and you'll get probably around 10X
more people trying your free version - a large pool of potential customers
that will translate to more sales than just having a paid app with no way to
let people test drive it (I'm assuming the number of people that actually
realize there's a refund option is limited).

Certainly you can install a 3rd-party viewer as a separate app.  I

[android-developers] Re: how to save the state of checked item in ListView having Checkbox

[viktor]

Do you use adapter with domain objects?

You can set the state(CheckBox) what you want into object.

While you make your views in a adapter set Tag for every checkboxes
with the item position.

Add listener for checkboxes, when checkbox is checked or unchecked set
this state to the odject.
