I'm confused.  Do these lines of code ever work under any
circumstances?  Raw resources are usually meant to be read as input
streams and not dealt with using file paths.

You might want to take a moment to google about playing videos from
resources or assets.

[android-developers] New Android Market Client Update

2010-12-11 Thread webmonkey
From the blog post at:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-market-client-update.html

Since most users who request a refund do so within minutes of
purchase, we will reduce the refund window on Market to 15 minutes.

Funny, this is also my experience but not because they do not like the
app, but because it won't download!!! The purchase was successful, but
the download will be stuck at 0%. So they panic and cancel it within
minutes and then mail us that it won't work!

 Hi,
  I am getting a hang in a MediaPlayer when there is an error.

  I have a separate Activity that I launch to play the MediaPlayer in
 full screen mode. The relevant code from onCreate is posted above.

  I have set a Timer to time out in 15 seconds, so that if the video
 fails to play the activity will exit. However, an error happens, so
 onError is called, and the debugger shows me that I am hung in the
 MediaPlayer.release() / MediaPlayer.reset() call.

  I'm not so interested in discovering why the error happens, as the
 phone I am testing on seems to have issues with running videos. But I
 do want to figure out why the MediaPlayer is hanging.

 Any help?

 Thanks,
 John

 You're looking at the lock screen. You have to unlock the device to get to
 the home screen. This will vary depending on the Android Version, but newest
 ones have an arrow on the left you drag to the right to unlock.


 Shouldn't I see an icon for the NotesList application?


 Not unless you add it, which you can by opening the app tray (after
 unlocking, click the square, dotted pad in the bottom middle of the screen),
 then drag the icon to the home screen.


 Or should the application display as the top-level activity?


 When you run the app, after you've unlocked the phone, it should start
 automatically.

Re: [android-developers] Re: GPS

2010-12-11 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

Hendrik,

If you are taking about the built it Power Controls widget - it's part 
of the system image, more specifically, Settings application, and is 
signed with the platform key.


Note that starting with Android 2.0 (AFAIK), this settings only gives 
LocationManager permission to use the GPS chip, if/when an application 
requests it. It does not mean that the GPS chip is on all the time.


-- Kostya

11.12.2010 10:46, Hendrik Greving ?:
I've triedWRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.I've found out that only system apps 
can get this permission.Actually I've found out how to toggle GPS 
etc., but it is an expoit which I guess will be fixed with 
Gingerbread. Unfortunately.

Re: [android-developers] notifyDataSetChanged not updating view

2010-12-11 Thread Julie Andrews

 As per the Docs notifyDataSetChanged ()-Notifies the attached View
 that the underlying data has been changed and it should refresh
 itself. In my application I am calling notifyDataSetChanged  but still
 my view is not updates automatically. To update view I have to press
 Back button and ahain when I return to activity then this time it show
 updated view.

 Here is my some part of code

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

try
{
  ...
  myAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
 R.layout.roomswitchlist, c, columns,names);
setListAdapter(myAdapter);

 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
{
// Action for 'Yes' Button
System.out.println (User click on Yes
 button);
deleteSwitchID(delRoomName,delSwitchName);
myAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

}
 }

 public void deleteSwitchID(String roomName1,String SwitchName1)

try
{
sampleDB =  this.openOrCreateDatabase(SAMPLE_DBNAME,

 null);
int no = sampleDB.delete(SWITCH_TABLE_NAME,

//onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//startActivity(getIntent()); //Restarts activity
 for menu refresh

}
catch (Exception e)

 Why view is not updating instantly?

Re: [android-developers] dex in ant with external libs in SDK tools R8

2010-12-11 Thread Julie Andrews
On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 7:05 AM, Andreas andreas.rossbac...@gmail.comwrote:

 Hey!
 There seems to be something wrong with external libs not making it
 into the .dex files in r8 if you build via ant.

 I have an external lib sitting in the libs folder which is not
 included into the .dex file by the dex-helper macro.

 If I look at the main_rules.xml I see that it looks like it was just
 forgotten? The reference to the path of the external libs just
 vanished between r7 and r8 of the SDK.

 The app will build but then crash during runtime because of the
 missing libs.

 Looks like a (at least for me) serious bug in the SDK.

 I added the path back via

  path refid=jar.libs.ref /

 and now everything is working.

 If you are taking about the built it Power Controls widget - it's part of

 Note that starting with Android 2.0 (AFAIK), this settings only gives
 LocationManager permission to use the GPS chip, if/when an application

Re: [android-developers] Poor SQLite implementation? first time data access way to slow

2010-12-11 Thread Julie Andrews
On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 2:19 AM, carbi84 leistner.d...@googlemail.comwrote:

 Hi there,

 i am new to android programming, however i am quite used working with
 sqlite databases.

 - my application opens a sqlite3 database on the sd card and runs a
 kinda complex query (5 joins, 1 subquery, 2 where clauses) using
 SQLiteDatabase.rawQuery

 public Cursor queryDataBase(String sql, String[] selectionArgs){
Cursor c = myDB.rawQuery(sql, selectionArgs);
return c;
}

 - the sql statement is given by a hardcoded String
 - the query returns 585 rows with 24 columns
 - i had to do a trade-off between storage space and indexing, but on
 all bigger tables (about ~ 40 000 entries, for now) indexes are used,
 SQLite shows for the query: Steps: 155 , Sorts: 0, AutoIdx: 1077
 - i am not using primary keys, thus i also didn't rename anything to
 _id

 - the execution of rawQuery is kinda fast, execution time is about 2
 ms
 - however accessing this data takes way too much time, e.g. by
 c.moveToFirst(), execution time about 1700 ms ! (same for
 Cursor.getRowCount(), or apparently all first time access to the
 actual result set)
 - doing the same on a PC ( 2 Ghz, 1 GB RAM) with e.g. SQLiteSpy it
 takes 15 ms to display the result set
 - doing it on the PC with a C++ Implementation it's also 15 ms up to
 30 ms

 So what am i missing here? Is it actually possible that my Handset
 with 800 MHz and 2 GB RAM is about 120 times slower??

 ( of course i am also aware of the speed difference between a microSD
 card and a sata2 hdd, but that shouldn't explain this huge difference,
 right? )

 What I want is destory and finish the activity just after I call

I got a mail from Android market, where they wrote:

We will be reducing the purchase refund window to 15 minutes.

So I assume that 24 hour refund is no longer available? That makes it
more important to have a trial version.

On 23 Nov, 09:44, Eyvind Almqvist eyv...@mobile-visuals.com wrote:
 Yes, I see now that they write
 Products that cannot be previewed by the buyer (such as
 applications): You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of
 the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours
 after purchase.

 I have released a trial like I described on OVI and
 I haven't got much angry reviews.
 I could also make a trial with limited functionality.
 You could for instance only watch 4 of the 10 visual effects.
 But wouldn't that risk getting angry reviews as well?'
 Or do you think this alternative would work better on AM?

 It is difficult and time consuming to buy anything from AM
 in Sweden. You have to buy with credit cards and
 you have to write all the information about your credit card in the
 mobile.
 Is it the same for USA? If so, I think it makes people less willing to
 buy anything.
 I think a trial version is needed because the buying process is so
 complicated, even
  if a 24 hour trial is possible when they buy apps.

   Thanks for explaining, now I understand what you mean when you say

   What do you mean with Android Market already implements a default

   someone buys an app they can return it within 24-48 hours for free?
   That must be a special rule that Google has, I've never seen that in
   other appstores.

  You should probably read 
  this:http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html

   I was planning to release a trial version which starts 3 times. The
   first time, you can view all of the visual effects.
   The second time, you can view just 3 of the visual effects. The third
   time, you can view just 1 of the visual effects.
   But maybe it is no use to release a trial version like that either? My
   apps display visual effects that you can use for meditation or
   relaxation, so you can't use them as a wallpaper.

  I think that you would be likely to get a lot of disgruntled customers
  by releasing an app like that, but do keep in mind that this is just
  an opinion based on my own experiences and observations. Others may
  have differing experiences/opinions, and even if all of us agree (not
  likely), it is still just an opinion. None of us can predict the
  future.

   My company got good distribution to operators, currently about 40
   operators are selling our apps. Maybe it is easier to get sales for
   Android apps on the operators appstores and portals than on Android
   market? I have seen that big US operators like T-mobile and Verizon
   are looking for Android apps.

  It is certainly possible, but none of the alternate markets have - as
  yet - a market penetration to compete with the Android market. You are
  likely to make at least an order of magnitude (10x)  more sales
  through the Android market than any other portal as things stand
  today. That situation may change in future, perhaps even the near
  future, but for now this is the reality we deal with.

I would not make a time-limited trial (that was kind of my point).
With the way the Android market works (and the demographics of its
users), it is not really well suited to these kind of apps.

I would look to limit the functionality/choice in your trial app
instead. I can see that you do wallpapers; you could for instance
offer a basic variant for free that does not permit any (or very
little) tweaking of your wallpaper settings. Or put in ads whenever
the settings are changed - whichever solution seems to fit best with
your strategy.

 Our apps has sold best when there is no trial version available, so
 the consumer only has the option of buying the complete version. This
 approach has been successful on Playnow, we've had 2 apps which have
 been number one their sales chart.

The Android market is a very different beast, for better and worse.

 But I assume that this approach is more difficult on Android market,
 since there are so may free products available?

Visibility is an issue on the market. There's a reason that most of
the success stories on the market were either early arrivals to

I don't have a trial version for my (relatively) expensive app because

Clearly, the thing to do is make my app free and sell an unlock app.

[android-developers] Re: Beginner questions

2010-12-11 Thread Indicator Veritatis
Eclipse is not absolutely essential, but it is such a great
convenience, you should take advantage of it unless you absolutely
have to use another environment. Also, most Android development is
taking place in the Eclipse environment, so you have lots of resources
you can take advantage of if you stick with this majority solution.

As for 64bit, there is a rumor running about that 64bit programs tend
to be somewhat less reliable than 32bit. But I haven't noticed any
problems with 64bit Linux versions (which is what I use).

 My windows is 64 bit but I installed 32bit JDK. When I tried compling
 some program in command line, compiler couldn't find Java in 'Program

 Should I use JDK 64bit? I saw some program for 32 bit does not run on

 If I should use 64bit JDK, I just need to reinstall JDK only? I saw
 SDK is installed only after JDK is installed.

If we are talking about a Bitmap, you can call recycle() yourself.

But I have a feeling that this is caused by an image being too large - 
as one image shouldn't make a difference (I assume you have a background).


Is it appropriately scaled to fit the screen, or are you loading, say, a

I had the same question. My hope is that it is a typo in the Android
Market mail. compatible-screens means support-screens and
uses-gl-texture is perhaps some uses-feature
android:glEsVersion=.../ value.

Or, the docs have a hole in them. It wouldn't be the first time.

 My windows is 64 bit but I installed 32bit JDK. When I tried compling

 Should I use JDK 64bit? I saw some program for 32 bit does not run on

 If I should use 64bit JDK, I just need to reinstall JDK only? I saw

Make sure your Java tools are in your PATH. The directory would be the

2010-12-11 Thread Zsolt Vasvari
If it's anything like buying anything else using Google Checkout, the
user will get their e-mail and at that moment the 15 mins starts.  I
don't think it will have anything to do with the actual download
success.

I think Google would have done away with refiunds completely, had the
15 min grace period not been such a core feature of the Google
Checkout product.  After all, the 15 mins is a ridicolous time for an
app purchase as a large number of apps (like mine)  cannot be
evaluated in 15 mins.  The 15 min rule is good differentiator from
PayPal and worked well for regular merchandise in case you clicked
purchase by error or you found the same item being sold by another
merchant for less.  It doesn't work well for apps, in my very
insignificant opinion.

That is not practical on Android. Your application does not have
access to the in-call audio.

If the device is in speakerphone mode, you may be able to play your
message through the speaker and have it picked up by the microphone,
but this is low quality and unreliable.

[android-developers] Fun - Android Market failure on update

Hey guys,

The market team seems to want to push some more updates. Since they
probably did not test those better than the previous ones, I thought
it would be fun to bet on what's going to break this time :

1. Download/Active install count
2. FC reports
3. Checkout
4. LVL
5. New rating system hides all apps for all users
6. Posting/Updating of apps in the console

Ok, I'm first, I'm betting 2 internets on n°5 and to be safe 1.5
internets on n°1 which is always a winner :D

[android-developers] Problem with service unbind

2010-12-11 Thread Rutton
 Hello there,

I am working on an activity, that is connected to a local service. The
service gets started fine in the activites onResume and can be
accessed.
What I want to do is to unbind the service in the activity's onPause
method. If I do that, I get an Service not Registered exception. And
if I don't do the unbind, I get a Leaked Service connection
exception.

I believe there is only one call to unbind the service.

So,  how can I fix that? Or how can I debug that? I tried to start the
service with Context.BIND_DEBUG_UNBIND, but I don't really know, how
this should provide debugging information?

Cheers,
Rutton.

Make sure you are passing the same ServiceConnection to

2010-12-11 Thread String
You might also be running into ANR limits, which can vary by
device/build. Just because your code is running in a service doesn't
make it immune from ANR, and I've noticed that recent OS versions
summarily kill ANR processes in appwidgets, rather than showing the
user a dialog.


If this is happening, you should be able to see it in LogCat, and you
might try moving your code into a background thread, as with an
AsyncTask.

Also make sure it's at the top level in the manifest (e.g. not inside

Re: [android-developers] Re: Problem with service unbind

2010-12-11 Thread Dianne Hackborn
Then you have already unbound it.

Try putting a breakpoint in each of the places you bindService() and
unbindService(), and see what is going on as you run your app.

You can look at the LocalServiceBinding API demo for an example of using
bindService()/unbindService(); though this doesn't do it as part of the
lifecycle callbacks, it does allow you to control in the UI binding and
unbinding to see the result (and verify the basic mechanism is indeed
working).

 You might also be running into ANR limits, which can vary by device/build.
 Just because your code is running in a service doesn't make it immune from
 ANR, and I've noticed that recent OS versions summarily kill ANR processes
 in appwidgets, rather than showing the user a dialog.


ANRs for background processes have never been shown on user builds (no
reason to annoy the user about them); they have always been shown on
development builds (such as running in the emulator).

Also to the original poster -- Service.setForeground() will basically
guarantee that your process doesn't get killed for normal memory management.
 It will only be killed if it has crashed (either in Java, where you will
see the crash in the log, or in native code, which is harder to debug), has
extremely used a lot of memory to the point where nothing else can run, or
has had an ANR.


 If this is happening, you should be able to see it in LogCat, and you might
 try moving your code into a background thread, as with an AsyncTask.


Yes, you absolutely should be looking at logcat.  In fact if you aren't
posting your logcat output from the time it gets killed, that is the first
thing we all should ask about. :)

My issue is that all the changes are cosmetic. After 2 years they still

Fixing those problems is going to take some serious technical skill and

That doesn't make sense for LinearLayout, it just lines things up one after
another. There is no concept of z-odering or having one view as foreground
versus another. Use the FrameLayout or change your requirements if you're
using LinearLayout.

You can declare your activity in the manifest with:

to make it semi-transparent,

and use wrap_content for both width and height in the activity's layout xml.

 Are your ImageViews perhaps stretching/shrinking the drawables because

 or cropping.  Not sure what your strategy is here.

[android-developers] Re: Combining an image

2010-12-11 Thread darrinps
Thanks for the suggestions but they did not help.

I tried every combination I can think of. MAybe Goud (see other post)
has it right and I need to get rid of table layout altogether, but I
am tired of wasting time on this so I plan to do something else
instead.

 For gravity on the top row use center_horizontal and bottom, then for the
 bottom row use center_horizontal and top.

 And if that doesn't work, try to simplify things and just use a single
 RelativeLayout and align each of the four ImageViews relative to each other.

 RANT: To me this is the hardest part of working with Android. Everything

  else is fairly straight forward in good old Java, but this layout stuff,
  IMHO, is not very intuitive to say it in the kindest way I know how.

 It's not perfect, but it's not so bad once you get the hang of it. At some
 point most of it just clicks.

ANRs for background processes have never been shown on user builds (no
reason to annoy the user about them);


Ah, I didn't realize that.


they have always been shown on development builds (such as running in
the emulator).


What's changed recently, then, is that background ANRs now kill the
process in the emulator as well - making it impossible to debug them.
Just confirmed this on my 2.2 emulator.

[android-developers] Automatic debuggable in the manifest

2010-12-11 Thread Kostya Vasilyev
This feature, where ADT 8.x is supposed to automatically set 
debuggable=true:


http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

has not been working for me.

Then I accidentally broke my build while editing strings.xml, to the 
point of Android build tools not being able to parse the file.


Curisously enough, I got this in the Eclipse's console window, alongside 
strings.xml parse errors:


[2010-12-11 23:20:54 - AndroMail] Warning: AndroidManifest.xml already 
defines debuggable (in http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android); 
using existing value in manifest.


After fixing the strings and cleaning the project, this warning went 
away too, and automatic debuggable is still not working.


So the code to set debuggable is there, but for some reason only gets 
triggered when XML parsing fails.


Hope this can provide a clue for making automatic debuggable work (Xavier?)

[android-developers] Re: How to control the width and height of Alert dialog.

2010-12-11 Thread Spiral123
rather than write it as an AlertDialog why not create a full Activity
but just theme is as a Dialog?  Then you could control just about
anything.

 Hi,
 Can you point me to some examples where AlertDialogs are built using
 Dialog class ? I have seen Custom dialog box code , where I can refer
 to XML and set the contentView.
 But my requirement is, depending on the array of strings I would like
 to show them as a textview inside an AlertDialog , which is done by
 default AlertDialog.Builder.

  In a similar situation, I stopped using AlertDialog and went directly

  AlertDialog provides.

   I am using above code to show alert dialog , By default it fills the

   How to control the width and height of default alert dialog ?
   I tried , alert.getWindow().setLayout(100,100); // It dint work.
   How to get the layout params on the alert window and set manually the

[android-developers] Re: ADB drivers for Windows XP available for Android devices

2010-12-11 Thread Gus
Hi Kostya:

Thanks for your advice.

Regarding:
 As first step, enable ADB in device settings (on the tablet).
Do you mean enable Settings-Applications-Development-USB
Debugging option? (I already have it enabled...)
If not, how to enable ADB on the tablet?

Thanks
Gus

 Gus,

 There is no generic driver for ADB. Each device uses its own UPnP vendor
  device IDs, although I understand all NVidia Tegra based devices use
 the same ones.

 Some manufacturers do provide an ADB driver (Samsung, Motorola).

 Since Viewsonic does not seem to be among them:

 - Connect the tablet to the computer, wait until driver installation fails
 - Find out the UPnP IDs used by the tablet (Device Manager, hardware
 info tool, etc.)
 - Edit android_winusb.inf in the standard Android driver and add those IDs
 - Reinstall the driver and reconnect the tablet, this time it should connect

 Also see this, which pretty much says the same thing:

  Hi All:

  I have the Viewsonic G Tablet with Android 2.2, and I want to debug my
  own programs.
  Once I connected to my PC (Windows XP), it was recognized and I'm able
  to access the tablet as a Mass Storage Device.
  However, when I want to debug the application, the tablet it's not
  being recognized as a ADB device (Android Debug Bridge). (USB
  Debugging is enable in the device).
  I know there is a USB drivers which cover many of the available
  Android devices, but not all of them.
  My question is, does the manufacturer (Viewsonic in this case) need to
  develop and provide an ADB driver for each device? Otherwise, how can
  we debug the device? Is there any other solution for this (like a
  generic driver)?

  Thanks;

Re: [android-developers] What to use instead of a very long ListPreference?

2010-12-11 Thread Frank Weiss
If there are 1,000 entries, perhaps you should consider a different UI
approach such as: map, autocomplete search, drill-down taxonomy, recents,
favorites, most popular, etc.
