Re: [android-developers] Eclipse ADT 8.0.0 (and 8.0.1) problem - can't create views hierarchy with drag and drop in the Outline view

[Kumar Bibek]

Yep they are gone. Perhaps, we are now supposed to do drag and drop. "+" "-"
signs were helpful though.

[android-developers] Eclipse ADT 8.0.0 (and 8.0.1) problem - can't create views hierarchy with drag and drop in the Outline view

[oriharel]

Before the newest version I was able to create hierarchies using drag
n' drop, performed on the outline view.
Since the upgrade, I can't and the controls ('+', '-' and arrows) are
missing.

So how am I suppose to build view hierarchies now?

[android-developers] Android Search Dialog behavior

[Yogini]

Hi All,

This query is about Android Search Dialog, we are displaying Android
Search Dialog in an activity. Now the problem we are facing is when
user press device search button when search dialog already displayed
then on this the search dialog gets cancel instead of performing
search.
So my question is ' is this a device behavior or an issue with our
implementation? '

Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: Choosing the right Layout(s)

[Bret Foreman]

What use is a smart-phone if it can't keep golf scores for you and all
your buddies?

You're going to need to stream the UI creation with runnables.
Otherwise, you may get an ANR if the phone is too busy to init all
those TextViews in time. Do about 30 TextViews in each runnable.

[android-developers] Re: ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED not working

[FrankG]

Hi Douglas.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/receiver-element.html#nm

In the Manifest you write that your receiver class is called
Receiver .. and
later you call the class NoteReceiver ??

But nevertheless I have my doubts that you have your public class
NoteReceiver in
a file "Receiver".

Good luck ! Frank

[android-developers] Documentation errors for LocationManager.requestSingleUpdate() ?

[davemac]

This is a new method in Android 2.3's LocationManager. It says
basically the same thing as what it says for requestLocationUpdates(),
except that there's no way to specify a minTime or minDistance. From
the name I would guess that my listener is going to be called once and
that's it, maybe as soon as a reliable location is available. But the
descriptions start with this:

Registers the current activity to be notified periodically by the
named provider. Periodically, the supplied LocationListener will be
called with the current Location or with status updates.

"Periodically" is not defined nor settable it seems. And why would
this method be called requestSingleUpdate if it gets multiple updates?
Does anyone know how to use these methods?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Dynamically setting empty views

[Samuh]

We have four ListViews in a FrameLayout in one of our activities. We
also have a common WebView in this Framelayout set as EmptyView for
each of these lists.
The content of this TextView is supposed to change at runtime
depending on different contexts.

As a result, we call:
1. mEmptyView.loadData(...) followed by
2. mListOne.setEmptyView(mEmptyView) calls.

This works fine most of the times. But sometimes we are getting,
IllegalStateException.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The content of the adapter has
changed but ListView did not receive a notification. Make sure the
content of your adapter is not modified from a background thread, but
only from the UI thread. [in ListView(2131362332, class
android.widget.ListView) with Adapter(class my.own.activity.MainAct
$UIAdapter)]
at android.widget.ListView.layoutChildren(ListView.java:1492)
at android.widget.AbsListView.onLayout(AbsListView.java:1147)
at android.widget.AdapterView.updateEmptyStatus(AdapterView.java:724)
at android.widget.AdapterView.setEmptyView(AdapterView.java:637)

Question: Is it safe to change content of an empty view and call
ListView#setEmptyView at runtime?

2. Start update aptitude: sudo apt-get update
3. Start update libc6: sudo apt-get install libc6

I am working with a freshly installed android SDK and each time I try
to run the emulator, I see a message "Error loading preferences" in
the second command prompt window that comes up. After that, my
emulator comes up fine. I can even install apps once my emulator is
up. The problem is when I run the emulator through my IDE, something
prevents my IDE from knowing that my emulator is up. So, it never
installs my apk to the emulator. I can install it using the adb
manually but not through my IDE. I suspect that it is this "Error
loading preferences" thing, but dont know for sure. This command
prompt window shows up only for like less than a second and its really
hard to read what it is for in those few milliseconds. I ran the
emulator in -verbose mode and also googled this problem - no doughnut
for me so far. Does anyone know this error?

Thanks,
Sachin

[android-developers] reading Gallery 3D cache

[Alex Chandra]

I am working on improving the Gallery 3D program.

I add StorageEventListener so it can detect the state change
if the SD card is pulled out or put in. Below is the code I added in
"onCreate" of Gallery.java

/
mStorageListener = new StorageEventListener() {
@Override
public void onStorageStateChanged(String path, String oldState,
String newState) {
checkStorage();
}
};

if (mStorageManager == null) {
mStorageManager = (StorageManager) getSystemService("storage");
mStorageManager.registerListener(mStorageListener);
}
/

Here is what I notice when I do this:
1. Open the Gallery 3D program
2. Put in the SD card, wait until the program finishes building the
cache (indicated by all thumbnails are shown)
3. Pull out the SD card
4. Press back button
5. Kill the program by using "force stop" in the "manage applications"
6. Put in the same SD card again WITHOUT any modification (adding,
deleting, moving, etc)
7. Wait until the "preparing SD card" message is gone
8. Open the Gallery 3D program again
9. Voila! The program reads the cache and can load the thumbnails in a
very quick speed.
(note: the SD card contains about 3 Gigabytes of images and videos)

But, if I don't do "force stop", when I put in the same SD card again
(without modification),
the program will rebuild the cache again.

Is there any way to read the cache directly after I put in the SD card
again without killing the application?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Alex Chandra

[android-developers] Re: Adapter fetches and parses RSS feed to get data - best practice?

[DanH]

Many an atrocity has been committed in the name of "best practices",
"object oriented design", "design patterns", et al.  (Not to mention
"performance".)  Any time someone's throwing around buzzwords like
that I tend to run the other direction.

Ultimately, the only criteria for good code is that it works, it does
the required job in a timely fashion, without excessive use of
resources, it's reliable, it's maintainable, and it was written with a
reasonable amount of effort and expenditure.  Any code that
accomplishes those goals is good code.  Any that doesn't isn't, no
matter how high-falutin' the technology is.

[android-developers] ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED not working

[Douglas Fonseca]

Hi,
I'm developing an app that needs to start when the phone is power plugged.
To do so, I used this code in manifest file










   
   
   



In Receiver file:

public class NoteReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
context.startActivity(new Intent(context,Activity2.class));
}
}

This code was suposed to start the Activity2 Activity, but it's not working!
Does someone know that's wrong?
Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] How to add Google Search Widget in my App Activity or Screen

[Mark Murphy]

There is no "Google Search Widget" in Android.

If you want the Quick Search Box, you do not add it to an activity,
but rather integrate with Android's search framework:

[android-developers] Making Toast with JavaScript, Android and the 2.3 emulator

[paulb]

I'm working through Building Web Apps in WebView (http://
developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html).

The JavaScript function successfully makes Toast when I deploy the app
to a device running Froyo or to a 2.2 emulator.  However, when I try
to run in the 2.3 emulator, it crashes.

Any suggestions?  The DDMS log is below.  The onClick event occurs at

[android-developers] Re: JPEG Image has a map

[ip332]

Sol,
No offense, but ability to debug the application (especially when you
have source code and debugging tools) is one of the most basic things
any programmer must have.
Yes, Android make "programming" looks like a pretty simple and easy
activity however when you don't understand what are you doing and
cannot debug the problem - you won't get anything good out of it.
They say "There is no replacement for a displacement" about a car
engine. Same here - you can't ask for a ready-to-use code to get more
or less acceptable result unless you spent certain amount of time,
nerves, coffee, etc.
Nobody get it from the first time. Google it, ask questions but do not
expect someone to solve your problem.

Anyway I will try to create a sample app but don't know when I'll have
time (my current program belongs to the company)

Re: [android-developers] Re: JPEG Image has a map

[Frank Weiss]

It just doesn't seem like a good idea to use Android Google map to display a
plan view of an apartment and call out POIs within it. On my Droid, at full
zoom-in, my apartment takes up about 1/12 of the screen. Also, if you placed
markers for POIs within your apartment, when you zoom out, they just overlap
and become useless. Is there really a compelling reason to mashup your
floorplan with all the features and layers of Google maps? Is is just a
specifc feature of GM you are interested in? What is that feature?

I suggest you use a different approach, like simply displaying the floorplan
as an image view, displaying markers on that, and providing whatever
detailed callouts you want. Chances are people are working on mobile CAD
apps like this.

[android-developers] Market not updating?

[android-developers] AccountManager and invalidateAuthToken problem

[лойк]

I'm currently working on an application that will make use of
AccountManager and AbstractAccountAuthenticator. I used the SampleSync
sample as basis but I still don't get some things.

First I'd like to explain what I'm currently doing so I know if what
I'm doing is fine. The api I currently use doesn't have passwords or
authtoken. I use a webview to authenticate. In my response I have a
(session_id, user_id and secret).

Once I get those values, I do a first call to get some UserInfo. (only
for user creation)

Then I have: username, user_id, session_id, secret.

I set the account name to Username and Password to user_id and I add
session_id and secret as userData. Since the most unpriviliged
function to get my credentials is getAuthToken. In this function I
return a semicolon separated string of these 3 values. For example:
"93458;sowen;sjfdhlksjdfhskljdfh".

So I'd like to know when getAuthToken is called. I only saw it being
called once after user creation. My problem is that I have an invalid
token and it never gets renewed. I do call invalidateAuthToken but it
doesn't do anything and it never call getAuthToken again. So according
to the docs, invalidateAuthToken does nothing if a token isn't cached.
Since my authToken is invalid and never calls again getAuthToken, why
isn't it being invalidated.

Use Java file I/O. Use getFilesDir() (called on Activity, Service, or
other Context) to find the application's spot in the internal storage.

Because it's not your resource. You're using android:id="android:id/list" -
which deliberately assigns this view to an existing ID declared in the
android namespace.

Try "android.R.id.list"

solution.  Looking at reported 2.3 errors popping developers may want
to wait to update.

Something like this maybe:

void disableAllBut(int imageViewID)
{
 foreach (ImageView iv in myTable)
  iv.setEnabled(false);

 findViewById(imageViewID).setEnabled(true);
}

[android-developers] Re: SDK 2.3: Get "Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format" error

[Matt Quigley]

To all the various responses:

1. To the guys asking about plurals, have you seen
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#Plurals
?

2. To the guys who think the errors for the multiple formatters is
over the top... it isn't just over the top, it has really screwed us
over!

I guarantee you what happened is that someone working with Google
wasn't using positional formatters in the strings, and in the latest
batch of translations, one of the positions was supposed to be moved
and it wasn't.  So, one person at Google (maybe Romain? he was talking
about it's reasoning earlier) decided that it should be an error for
all people everywhere, because of the screwup in the translation.  It
wouldn't have been a problem if this was the way it started out when
Android was initially released, but what actually happened is that the
innocent upgrading of the latest SDK (even though you're supposed to
be able to use any older API levels you want) has made all of our
projects break.

It has made a lot of unnecessary work for me and my team.  We've got
multiple projects with a build machine, everything's F'd now.  If you
upgrade the SDK Tools on the build machine, half the projects don't
release.  Not only that, the same project can have multiple branches
in git.  Even as good as git's merging abilities are, after changing
all of the various strings in various branches (which change often),
now the strings.xml is hell to merge when you add in formatted="false"
to the line.  To create a hotfix on an older version, we are forced to
make manual changes on these old branches.

To put it succinctly, this seemingly innocuous "feature" to error on
all these types of strings whereas before it didn't has invalidated
every old build in our system, period.  There's no way to turn it off,
even if you set the API level to 1.  We can no longer build anything
before 12/6/2010, without creating a special separate build machine
which has an old version of the tools on it.

Okay, this rant is over, have a good rest of your day!

[android-developers] ContactsContract.Contacts & .PhoneLookup

[Kavinder Dhaliwal]

Hi

I'm trying to use a custom cursoradapter and an autocompletetextview
to allow a user to filter through their contacts...I have been able to
use get results with Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME...however whenever I try to
add PhoneLookup.NUMBER into my string array I get an illegal argument
exception: Invalid column number

I think the reason this is happeneing is because I pass
Contacts.CONTENT_URI as the parameter in my query() methodbut have
no solution yet

The android doc for PhoneLookup says that "Columns from the Contacts
table are also available through a join. "

but i don't know how to do that

Any Help?

What exactly doesn't make sense about this function? It's explained in the

You could use a callback from the service to the clients, to notify them that
they should disconnect.

RemoteService.java, in the SDK ApiDemos sample, shows how to use AIDL callbacks.

[android-developers] Re: Application help (Communication between phone and computer)

[Hal]

I believe that messaging is a good solution. A Socket connection
should work.
You may want to used the Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) for this:


a) Messaging Design Pattern and a distributed Component/Service Model
https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/149793/MDPdistributedModel.pdf

This would provide the communication mechanism.
For additional information please refer to the following URLs:

a) Java Pattern Oriented Framework, An application of the Messaging
Design Pattern
IBM Technical Library
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-designpattern/index.html

b) Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) and pattern implementation -
Published in the 17th conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
(PLoP 2010).
https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/150311/designPatterns.pdf

You can also use Jt Web services in case you decide to use
an intermediary Web server.

with https.

Re: [android-developers] New ADT 8.0.1

are you trying to have Eclipse look for updates or are you pointing it

Pointing it to our update site as if you install new software (not
update) should work.

Worst case, download it from:
http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-8.0.1.zip and install it from this
archive.

Re: [android-developers] Re: What Tablet would you get

[Jon F Hancock]

So the more I use my Viewsonic g Tablet, the more I love it.  It does have
some weird issues, but in general, it is fantastic.  After using Android and
especially playing Angry Birds on a nice big 10" screen, my phone seems
useless.  If I wasn't so concerned about having internet everywhere, I would
switch to a feature phone, and just use the tablet for internet and gaming.

It's also comforting that my main app (LauncherPro Icons) works beautifully
on the higher resolution screen.  I want to scream at Google though because
the Google Reader app looks great in the listing activity, then when you go
to actually read a story, it confines itself to a little window the size of
my phone...  What is so hard about following the design guidelines of fluid
resizing, Google?

There is no getBestLastKnownLocation() in LocationManager in Android.

Seriously? That's a Galaxy S phone, which is pretty popular, though it
is not one I have in my stable.

It certainly feels like a compatibility bug. Do you have any info on
criteria for when this will block (e.g., only if no providers are
enabled)?

[android-developers] Does getBestLastKnownLocation block?

[Greg Giacovelli]

Hi,
I was wondering if this is a bad thing to do or if it is just a buggy
ROM. The location strategy my application uses is from the UI Thread
register for a location update. We then schedule a cancel request on
the handler of the UI thread within a given timeout to cancel the
location update if nothing was returned in that time. After which we
call on the UI thread LocationManager.getBestLastKnownLocation() for
the provider we were interested in.

This seemed like a sane idea since the async callback wouldn't block
and we could give the user some animation loading indication for our
best attempt. And if we timeout we just use the system's last known
location as a best effort follow up. However on certain phones, the
Epic in particular sometimes this call never returns. This call is
documented as being pretty light weight and since all of the other
interaction with the LocationManager is to be done on the UI thread
(like registering for updates) this just seems to be understood as
needing that as well.

Is there a better pattern than this?

Re: [android-developers] Re: source for SDK

[Xavier Ducrohet]

You're right of course, that this is less than optimal for some
people. Most people actually even though windows users are a majority
(I'm well aware of you all :)), downloading 2-3 GB of source is not
easy.

There are reasons though for not doing it.
- You should be able to rely on the API descriptions and not focus on
a particular implementation
- the implementation could to change version to version
- the implementation could change on some devices (while keeping the
API contract valid)

Note also that Eclipse is unable to deal with compiling for android
1.5 but running on android 2.3 where the source code is really
different. Eclipse can only handle one source location of a jar file,
but android.jar is a runtime jar not an included jar, and if you ran
your 1.5 application on 2.3 you would want to see the source of 2.3

[android-developers] Edittext mask

[Rogério de Souza Moraes]

Hi folks,

I am with a problem with edittext mask. I need to allow the user to enter
the information, where the tree first fields must to be letters and the
following four fields must to be numbers. The mask is like this: "AAA-".


I tried to solve this checking the number of the field that the user is
typing, if it is lower than 4, I set the InputType to TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER, if
the number field is equal or higher 4, I set the InputType to
TYPE_CLASS_TEXT. In portrait mode this works fine, but in landscape mode,
when the android hide the edittext field, when the mask changes from
TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER to TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, the edittext hide the tree numbers
that the user typed and allow him to type the four letters.

When he clicks enter the finale text is fine, but I am afraid that a dummy
user will not understand what happened when the edittext hide the numbers
that he typed. There is a better way to do this?

Regards,

Rogerio

[android-developers] Reasoning behind disabling certain ProGuard optimizations?

[Matt Quigley]

In the latest Android SDK Tools (revision 8), ProGuard has been
integrated into the ant build.  This is easier to set up than it was
before (http://www.androidengineer.com/2010/07/optimizing-obfuscating-
and-shrinking.html), but I'm curious about the optimizations that are
disabled by default.

>From the proguard.cfg file created with "android update project -p .":
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/
*

#1: code/simplification/arithmetic: This removes things like turning
"3 + 3" into "6".  A shame, but understandable, because there are much
more complicated optimizations to the byte code that Dalvik doesn't
handle well.  This one is completely understood.

#2: !field/*: This refers to the following:
field/removal/writeonly - Removes write-only fields.
field/marking/private - Marks fields as private, whenever possible.
field/propagation/value - Propagates the values of fields across
methods.

#3: !class/merging/*: This disables merging two or more classes
horizontally or vertically (in the same class hierarchy).

The question here is, why would #2 and #3 give Android or Dalvik any
problems?  The classes are valid Java classes in the end.  I suspect
the answer for #2 is that projects built into Android require that the
R.* classes to remain intact.  However, this is NOT the case for
private apps created by developers, unless they use introspection to
access those fields.  There is no need for the R class at all; all of
the constants of that class can be propagated into whomever uses them,
and the the R class can be removed.  For #3, this might have something
to do with the fact that Views referenced in layout .xml files are
dynamically created at runtime by reflection, and maybe merging these
classes together messes them up.  But isn't that prevented by -keep
public class * extends **View?

For over a year I've been obfuscating my app and #2 and #3 have never
been used.  I don't plan on using them from now on, either.  Unless,
someone can clarify why I shouldn't be enabling #2 and #3?

Thanks!
-Matt

P.S. I would recommend adding the following to the next version of the
Android SDK Tool's automatically generated proguard.cfg file:
# Keep classes which are not directly referenced by code, but
referenced by layout files.
-keep public class * extends **View {
public (android.content.Context);
public (android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet);
public (android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet,
int);
public void set*(...);
}
This prevents classes which extend View, TextView, etc. classes from
being renamed.  This will avoid ClassNotFoundExceptions when
developers use custom View classes referenced in their layout files.
It will hit some false positives (i.e. a class which ends with View
may not actually be used as such), but that is acceptable IMHO, and
can be easily changed by a developer as needed.

An alternative is to use -keep public class * extends
android.view.View, which removes all false positives, but will add
some missed cases, such as a class which extends TextView.

No. You really don't have to do anything. Checkout is primarily used for
buying physical goods online, so that's why that's there. It's a complete
hack as far as Android is concerned since Google wanted to use it's own
payment system even though it wasn't designed for virtual goods. Just ignore
it.

You will find that many of Google's different departments are apparently
unaware that the others exist. Like how Google Chrome does not natively
support Google Bookmarks. I mean, honestly.

[android-developers] Re: Android 2.3 not handling orientation change properly - screen is not redrawn

[Streets Of Boston]

Yep, i see the same issue in the Emulator.
Rotating back from landscape to portrait does not happen until the app
(any app, it looks like) 'exits' back to the home-screen.

[android-developers] Confused by Market to Checkout link

[Brill Pappin]

So its a bit on clear what I need to be doing in Checkout for order
from Market.
All the transactions have a "Send shipping notice". Do I need to click
that to complete the order?

This is all a bit weak, it looks like the Android and Checkout folks
don't actually talk to each other!

No offense, Alex, but it's pretty clear by this point that nobody
reading this group has a good idea of how to accomplish this - or at
the very least, not one that they're willing to share. It probably
won't matter how many times you ask.

Strikes me as a case where you need to do the legwork yourself. Read
up and experiment.

Good luck with it!

[android-developers] Re: Free version to Paid version

[Brill Pappin]

Actually, it looks like you don't actually need to rename the physical
packages, you only need to rename that one line in the manifest to the
alternate package (I'm not positive about that, but I think thats what
my initial experimenting showed).

If that is the case, maybe you can automate your build with a script
that would update that line in the manifest and you could put the demo
mode parameter in a file in your assets dir so that the app would know
what to allow.

You might also use Licensing to enable or disable the free mode.

[android-developers] Re: Free version to Paid version

[Brill Pappin]

I've been pretty disappointed in the library projects. They are pretty
much broken IMO.
Although I have set it up there way, a lot of the application is
resources, which don't seem to be picked up properly. Then you have
the problem of providers with the same authority in two different
packages!
Not to mention having no end of issue when UI code is stored in a lib.

Its pretty crazy how limited the library projects actually are.

However, I have set that up, but I'm still having to maintain two
versions on the fly. At the moment I'm being very good about making a
change across both but we both know that can't last :)

In the mean time, I'm simply working to extract the logic of the
app(s) and move it into the lib.

[android-developers] Re: SDK 2.3: Get "Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format" error

[Bob Kerns]

There's a terminology conflict at work here.

Class.getResource(String) and friends vs. Context.getResources() and
friends. To add to the confusion, they really *are* performing the
same task, albeit differently and on disjoint data.

The stuff inside a .jar file is accessed with
Class.getResource(String), while strings.xml is accessed via
Context.getResources().

To add further to the confusion, most of my comments could apply to
either, but the main discussion is referring to
Context.getResources().

[android-developers] 2.3: WebView's JavaScriptInterface throwing exception 100% of time

[jsdf]

Hi all,
Has anyone played with the 2.3, WebViews, and the JavaScript to Java
interface?
If so, have you gotten it working?

I, and a number of others, have seen this fail 100% of the time.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12987

This is a very serious issue.

Anyone have suggestions?

[android-developers] Re: NFC: Tag Emaulation

[gamtgamt]

It seems that even in the Nexus S there will be no tag emulation.
Simon Wilson (Android Engineer) says http://youtu.be/wk5mUdeEF8c at
1:02 that.

Did you find out how to write information to an nfc-tag? That I could
not find out till now.

Re: [android-developers] SQLite problem

What happens when you run it from the installed apps list?

Are you doing any type of lengthy operation in onCreate / onStart / 
onResume, such as downloading data from the Internet?

So i was doing some Database stuff
I read the Notepad tutorial completed it and started
making my first
database application.
I am not extracting data from user instead i have
one application and
on helper class .
The application class calls the method of the helper
class which adds
the content in database.
So the data is provided by main application and the
the UI of the
application should be just the list of the data.
Basically very simple database application but still
i am not able to
complete it.
I started commenting the code from bottom to check
where the problem
may have lied but
it seems to me that i have commented every line of
code lol :) and
stll cant fix the problem .
The Error Log which i get everytime i run the
application is :-

Re: [android-developers] Best way to store data in database

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Sure, a database would work, but, depending on how many colors you have, 
it might be overkill.


Also note that you don't have to use Android color resources unless it 
is actually convenient for your application.


I'd use a text file with simple "color: #abcdef" definitions, in res/raw 
to define the colors in the first place (so you could get the entire 
list for the user to pick from) and a database or SharedPreferences or a 
data file to save user selections.

The change of R was my guess too and the main reason why I asked here. 
Ahh, ok, I understand, you would save color names or the code like 
#RRGGBB. But what happens when I delete or change colors... Once a 
color is part of my app i can't remove it, cause users who used them 
saved the code or name into the database and then there is a problem...


What do you think about a separate database table? Not good?

Thank you!
-Danny Schimke

2010/12/7 Kostya Vasilyev mailto:kmans...@gmail.com>>

Danny,

The values in R can change as you add and remove resources.

I'd say store color names, or actual RGB values (and match them to
names when need to present to the user).

Hi,

I have 2 textual inputs that I saved to database, furthermore
I have a spinner with color selection. Color names and color
values both stored in the application resources. I want to
save a color in the database, but what is the best way to do
this in your mind? Should I save the resource id? I figured
out, that the int value of the color resource is allways the
same, e.g. when I delete the "R" file and let it recreate. I
do not have the certainty that this is correct?!

Or would you put colors in a seperate database table instead
using resources for this? This seems to be a good way and the
user is able to add own colors to the application.

I don't know what is the best way to store this. What are your
experiences?

Thank you very much!
