Is there some moderation process behind the scene? If it is, I would

This is really annoying. It happened to me before.
I actually thought I was drunk or so, so maybe I didn't even send it,

This was my subject line: onSaveInstanceState problem while making

[android-developers] Re: unable to set gps geo fix

2010-12-12 Thread doles

Hello,

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the ddms ping problem might
be something that I could ignore because that command is only to find
out if the emulator has started to run. I am not sure though, so i am
going to focus on my gps problem for now and here is some extra
information: when i start the emulator, i am seeing this in the error
log:
12-12 09:27:44.551: ERROR/ThrottleService(61): Could not open GPS
configuration file /etc/gps.conf

Do I have to provide a gps.conf somewhere if i want to get locations
from gps in the emulator?

Thank you

 Hello,

 I have a simple class like the Hello MapView example on android dev
 guide. I have added a location listener to it and when this app runs
 on my emulator, i telnet to the emulator and send a geo fix such as
 geo fix 1 1. This is causing the emulator to crash with a thread dump
 and a list of services that died... what could be wrong? The other
 thing that happens before the emulator starts is that my IDE starts
 ddms with arguments ping emulator standalone. This results in an
 error at         at
 com.android.sdkstats.SdkStatsService.normalizeVersion(SdkStatsService.java:
 467). At this line, it is clear that that class is expecting a 4 digit
 number with dots in it and my IDE is sending in the word standalone.
 I dont know if these two are related, but I need the ability to set
 geo fixes and that is not working!!! Has anyone seen this? What am I
 missing?

(And we really see this as as stop-gap -- ideally, for example, there would
be a standard texture format that you can count on being supported.)

Re: [android-developers] onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

You really haven't posted enough to help, but if you are starting an
activity you can pretty much count on onSaveInstanceState() being called
before the next one even starts. Of course you can do things to prevent
this, such as calling finish() so your state won't need to be saved, using
certain Intent flags that also have the result of finishing your activity,
etc.

You may also be having a new instance of your activity created instead of
returning to the original one. But again, there is not enough information
here to determine that.

Do look at logcat output while you are running, as that will have messages
about activities being started and other interesting things. You can also
use adb shell dumpsys activity at any time to see all activity stacks.

In my app at some point I am making oAuth request to authorize user
with Twitter. App opens WebView in which user enter his credentials.
Upon user pressing Allow button, twitter sends Intent (which
contains token and secret) back to my app so user can start when he/
she left of. The problem is my Activity has RowID (very important to
know which record is currently active) that get lost RowID is
parameter that my activity receives through Intent in onCreate event.

I've checked, onSaveIstanceState is not executed, so when my Activity
gets control back, my RowID doesn't exist.
When my Activity receives Intent from Twitter, it is handled in
onResme event. I assume, here I should somehow obtain my RowID
What would be good way to remember my RowID and to be able to pull it
back?

In my manifest I had to enter following for my Activity in order to be
able to get control back:
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE /
data android:scheme=myapp
android:host=oauth /
/intent-filter

Any Suggestions. Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

I thought about that. But, then another question come to my mind.
Why wouldn't I always use SharedPreferences to save my activity state?

For example:
I passed groupID and itemID values into activity. In onCreate, I save
both values to SharedPreferences.
Latter, when activity is restarted (for any reason: rotation, pause,
was destroyed, etc.), I check Intent first, if nothing is passed, I
load values from SharedPreferences. This way I woulnd't have to use
onSaveInstanceState ever. Is this OK to do?

Thanks a lot.

Re: [android-developers] Problem with new market and supporting screens?

I would generally recommend people do NOT use the compatible-screens
feature.  It is there for a very specific purpose (I assume the
documentation will describe this), but for most apps it will cause more harm
than good.  supports-screens is still the recommended approach, as it
follows the model of separating screen size from density.  Trying to do
otherwise will lead to fragile applications and new and fun problems for
you.

 That being said, you might need to target Honeycomb to get the ADT

 In Android the same basic function is accomplished with intents.


Well.  If this is all just in your app, I would generally just recommend
doing normal direct callbacks.  There isn't a generic local callback
registry API in Android, but this is trivial to build yourself -- just make
a class with an ArrayListCallback and functions to add and remove
callbacks, and perform a call on all callbacks.  It's 20 lines of code max.
 If you want to make it async, it's a couple more lines of code to have a
Handler that you post a Runnable on to, to do the callbacks.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

Thanks Dianne,

I've look at logs and my app is crashing because my RowID value is
null. RowID is record ID that is needed to query sqlite database.
I could post here all my code, but I doubt it would be very useful...
I'll try explaining better with some code snippets:

This is what I execute when user push Authorize button:

consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(CONSUMER_KEY,
CONSUMER_SECRET);
provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider(http://twitter.com/oauth/
request_token,
 http://twitter.com/oauth/access_token;,
 http://twitter.com/oauth/authorize;);
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer,
CALLBACK_URL);
mWebView.loadUrl(authUrl);

User is presented with login and password fields and there is also
Allow button. When user pushes this Allow button, Twitter sends Intent
(with token and secret) back to my activity. I process this Intent in
onResume method. OnResume runs first, then onCreate. At this point my
RowID is lost. Nowhere in this process onSaveInstanceState was called
because of simple reason, activity is not paused, exited, screen is
not rotated, etc... So, how do I save and retrieve my RowID? Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

onResume runs first then onCreate -- that is not typical.  Either your
activity is being restarted (due to a configuration change) or you have a
new instance created.

Also what do you mean by Twitter sends Intent (with token and secret) back
to my activity?  Do you mean it is using setResult()?  Or is this doing
something else?

And do please have a look at the logcat output to see what activities are
being started.

[android-developers] Eclipse builds suddenly broke

My project was building fine yesterday, but after I downloaded the 2.3
SDK and updated some Eclipse components, it broke HARD.

.AIDLs do not even try to compile
Resources are never compiled (e.g., from values/strings.xml)

Are there any known issues with the latest Eclipse/Android bits?

Sorry. Yes. You are right. onCreate runs first, then onResume next. (I
am still learning about Android activity cycle :-)
Here is my onResume method that handle this data that comes from
Twitter.
See lines 5 and 6. If 6 is true I am extracting token and secret and
saving them to SharedPreferences. This code runs fine, just that RowID
variable gets lost in the process. onCreate that runs before this one
(onResume), has no idea about RowID.

@Override

super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, mRowID onResume :  + mRowId);
Uri uri = this.getIntent().getData();
if (uri != null  uri.toString().startsWith(CALLBACK_URL)) {

((SessionPilot)getApplicationContext());
consumer = appState.getConsumer();

String verifier =
uri.getQueryParameter(oauth.signpost.OAuth.OAUTH_VERIFIER);

provider.retrieveAccessToken(consumer, verifier);

That's my point.  I believe the number one pain point that has been raised
is texture formats, so this is a solution for that which can be provided
very quickly because it can re-use all of the existing infrastructure for
features and shared libraries.  Doing something more will delay any solution
for textures.

Anyway, I can't discuss this much more.  I work on the platform, and this is
totally unrelated to the platform -- filtering like this is not at the
platform level (the platform doesn't even know what these things are), it is
part of Market, and that is outside my area of expertise.

Re: [android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState problem while making oAuth request

It is unlikely this has anything to do with saving and restoring instance
state, unless a configuration change is happening or your process is being
killed in the background.

If you are saying that you are seeing onCreate() called, then again I think
you should consider that you actually have a new instance of the activity
being started, and look at the logcat output if there is a log about
starting an activity.

Re: [android-developers] Problem with new market and supporting screens?

2010-12-12 Thread Brill Pappin

Really what I'm concerned about is having to build with a future
version of the UI and having my 2.1 users excluded.
Since Eclipse validates the XML, I've had a few problems adding
elements for for 2.2 in a 2.1 build.


I still want the 2.2 elements for those using it, but it needs to fail
gracefully so that users still on 2.1 just ignore the tags.


At the moment, the XML schema's won't allow you to do that. If the new
manifest elements don't fall back (if the schema's are not updated to
allow the new elements) its going to make developing in anything but
the most recent SDK impossible.


Unfortunately we can't assume that all users will (or are able) to
update to whatever is latest.

What do you mean with Android Market already implements a default

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

[android-developers] Re: layout editor in 2.3 SDK sucks! Sorry but it does.

2010-12-12 Thread Tim H.

You say nothing was changed? I have an issue where I can no longer
right click and add views or layouts from the Outline window - and the
add, move up/down buttons have been removed. Is this a bug - or was
this intentional?

The current drag-and-drop method makes it practically impossible for
me to design layouts - especially if trying to keep layouts compatible
with 1.5. I am extremely happy that work is being put into the
designer - it desperately needs it - but in its current state, I have
a lot of issues:

- Properties are apparently not saved at every state, I see old values
randomly pop up (such as Text was empty, then it returns to @+id/
Button01)
- After deleting some views, suddenly I can no longer add new views

If the new drag and drop method is available, but I am not forced to
use it, great.. otherwise, I'm totally frustrated.

Thanks,
Tim

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

This single responsibility thing is often misinterpreted as single
bit of functionality, I fear.

It's as much about clarity of role as anything. If adding
functionality to an object blurs the lines of what that object does,
than you are undermining the abstraction. If it takes 3 pages to
describe what a module is responsible for, you have a problem.

The flip side of single responsibility should always be complete
responsibility. Failure in this is why you are dealing with 360-odd
modules. This principle argues AGAINST separating related
functionality.

So what you have is a situation where it takes 30 pages to describe
where the responsibility for the area lies!

Often, however, you really do want to break things up into
collaborations of smaller, more focused objects. This isn't driven
blindly by single responsibility, but rather by looking at how you
want to allow variation -- for example, breaking out address from
user, to allow multiple addresses, or alternate address validation
for different countries, etc. That might lead in turn to separating
address from address validator, so you can have a single object
responsible for representing the address, and just combine it with the
appropriate validator, which is responsible only for validation.

But note here that from the outside, you just have user, which owns
addresses. There is still a single cohesive outer object, which has
the ENTIRE responsibility for representing information about the user.
We don't have an interface where we supply a user, and get back an
address, and another where we supply an address and a user and get a
validator, to which we then supply an address.

The complete responsibility for the user information is concentrated
in one place. This brings us to one of the key concepts of modularity
-- HIDING THE IMPLEMENTATION. It is this notion of complete
responsibility that enables modularity, by allowing details such as
address validation to become part of the implementation rather than
part of the interface.

Sometimes this approach can lead to your 360-odd classes simply being
hidden behind an interface. If so, you're still better off, because at
least you now have a cohesive interface, even if you have a complex
implementation.

Often this situation arises from a desire to allow for future
flexibility and variation. Often, that future need for that
flexibility and variation never arises. Here, Do The Simplest Thing
That Can Possibly Work is your best defense. But do not follow that
rule slavishly. If your task is to create a framework on which others
will build, possibly work has a very different meaning than creating
a piece of end functionality.

Still, people who have just learned to split up objects sometimes get
carried away, because they see it as a way of avoiding rewriting the
code later when things change. And often this is driven by excessive
pain in rewriting, because of bad modularity, lack of skill with
refactoring -- and lack of unit testing.

Anyway, I just wanted to put this single responsibility thing in a
different light. It's really a valid idea, and not the cause of your
problem. Your problem was caused by a failure of the companion rule,
complete responsibility. If you forget either half of this pair,
you'll create a mess. Modularity depends on both operating together.

 127K lines in 360-odd modules, when the job could easily have been
 done in 35K.  (We know this because the same function was implemented
 on another platform in that much code.)  Each class/module only does
 one thing, but the code is virtually impenetrable, nasty to
 maintain, and prone to serious performance problems.

 Good design generally dictates that a given class should ABSTRACT a
 particular resource or function.  That is to say, the class should
 present a virtual, idealized representation of the resource or
 function that permits the user to use it without concern for the
 dirty details inside, and without having to know the protocols,
 timings, etc, that may be involved.  This often means that the class
 must do many different things, when you look inside.  But on the
 outside it's a consistent, homogeneous interface.

[android-developers] Re: layout editor in 2.3 SDK sucks! Sorry but it does.

Well, that's the only thing you changed about the properties, but
hardly the only thing you changed.

It took me a while to figure out how to arrange things in a relative
view. THAT has certainly changed!

For the better, certainly -- but it is very hard to figure out. It's
hard to figure out why dragging things in most positions doesn't work
-- that you have to go to that grid, which at first doesn't seem to be
what you are looking for.

That is, while the new functionality is much cleaner and more usable
-- it is also much less discoverable. I don't have a solution, other
than having some highly-visible detailed documentation.

The meaning of the different positions on that grid I also find
confusing -- but the way it shows you the attributes it sets makes
that aspect discoverable. In fact, were it not for that, I'm not sure
I ever would have figured it out, and would have just ignored the
whole thing, and edited the XML for everything. Just to illustrate the
value of discoverable

The issue with the missing properties view is much the same deal.
The forced properties view was indeed, as you put it, very annoying.
But it was also very obvious.

Now that I know how to use it, I definitely prefer the new interface
-- but it's a lot harder to just point someone at it and have them
succeed.

You should be building against the latest platform version you plan to

 I still want the 2.2 elements for those using it, but it needs to fail

That's the way it works ...


 At the moment, the XML schema's won't allow you to do that. If the new

 recent SDK impossible.


Huh?


 Unfortunately we can't assume that all users will (or are able) to update

Of course not - with how fast Android gets updated and how slow (or
reluctant) carriers are to updated, it seems there are always going to be a
good number of people running an older version.

You can't just drop the new view anywhere, you have to drop it onto
the specific locations that indicate what relationship the new view
should have to what's there. Including the initial content view, which
you need to relate to the parent.

It's really quite slick, guiding you toward a correct-by-

[android-developers] Re: compatible-screens and uses-gl-texture ?

2010-12-12 Thread Mario Zechner

I think the only thing needed is a manifest tag that let's you specify
the OpenGL ES profile you want to work have available. That feature is
already there but it seems some devices don't report it correctly.

Everything else can and should be checked at runtime. That's what the
extension string is for. Actually, you can even check for GLES2
support via EGL. Adding all possible OpenGL extensions to the manifest
file will result in a lot of pain for everyone. And given that
manufacturers aren't capable of letting their devices return the GLES
profile i wouldn't rely on any manifest attributes the market tries to
check anyways in case of OpenGL. Most drivers have horrible problems
and manufacturers don't give a damn.

I don't think Apache requires people to release their improvements to

people object seriously to LGPL, and if I can't find a different one

[android-developers] Re: layout editor in 2.3 SDK sucks! Sorry but it does.

2010-12-12 Thread Tim H.

I do understand how the new system works..

Re: no longer being able to add views - I know that it has to be at
specific locations, but when there is only a single RelativeLayout
present, I should be able to add a button via alignParentLeft/Right/
Top/Bottom - it would not allow me to do that until I closed out and
re-opened it.

My problems are:

a) For layouts to work in 1.5, you have to put them in a specific
order - To do this correctly, I can no longer move views up or down, I
have to manually edit the xml - the new drag-and-drop seems to prevent
you from making a mistake in this regard, but doesn't allow it to be
corrected (i.e. you get a Red box with the X across it)
b) The drag-and-drop method is very align-happy in RelativeLayout -
many times I have to go and remove alignments that it added
automatically - it reminds of of something akin to FrontPage creating
HTML.. throwing on properties that may or may not be necessary :)
c) The new system makes it difficult if not impossible to align one
layout with another - for example, try to add two Linear Layouts
inside a RelativeLayout, one below the other.
d) Even with 'Display extra margins' turned on, it is sometimes
difficult to drag new views into an empty layout - particularly when
there is a number of other views nearby. This was not difficult
before, when I could just right-click and add a view to the empty
layout

There are improvements for sure, like I said, I'm ecstatic that they
are working to make it easier, but as bad as the old method was, I
find myself having more difficulties now than before.. maybe I just
need more time to get used to it.

[android-developers] Notification ringtone keeps on repeating.

2010-12-12 Thread Harry Hazlehurst

Hello everyone,


Wonder if anyone could shed some light/recommend a solution to this
problem.


In my app I use a notification type ringtone to notify users. I use
ringtone.play(); to play this. This works fine on my G1 (running 1.6)
but on my T-Mobile Pulse (1.5) the notification ringtone is just
repeated infinitely, even if I close the app.


I have tested it on a 1.5 emulator also and it works fine.


Is there a way I can force it to only play the ringtone once?



I have had a look through the documentation for Ringtone and
RingtoneManager but can't find anything to help me. I'm wondering if
there is a setting somewhere that makes it repeat until it is told to
stop (in the same way that a ringtone will loop for an incoming call)?.


Any help would be great.


Thankyou,


Harry

In general it would be good if there ain't one to make one. It would
be collection of standard template designs that could be used in

There are many situations that are common patterns, like dialogs,

good than build one from scratch.

Yeah there have been some problems with some devices not reporting this

of being fixed, so I would recommend going ahead and using this.

 Really what I'm concerned about is having to build with a future version of

You should build against the version of the SDK with the features you are
using; if you want to run on older versions of the platform put
android:minSdkVersion=vers in your manifest and of course test that you
actually work on that version.


 I still want the 2.2 elements for those using it, but it needs to fail
 gracefully so that users still on 2.1 just ignore the tags.


Can you point to a specific problem?  I don't know of any situation where an
older version of the platform choked on tags (or attributes) from a newer
one.


 At the moment, the XML schema's won't allow you to do that. If the new
 manifest elements don't fall back (if the schema's are not updated to allow
 the new elements) its going to make developing in anything but the most
 recent SDK impossible.


Sorry, I don't really follow what you are saying here.  Lots and lots of
apps build against newer versions of the platform to use the features there,
but support running on older versions.  This is pretty easy to do.
 *Especially* for things like XML attributes and tags in the manifest, since
older versions won't even be aware of them.

[android-developers] Proguard problem after 2.3 update

2010-12-12 Thread jtoolsdev

I updated the android 2.3 and when I try to run the proguard builds
that worked before am getting this:

/add-proguard-release.xml:35: Problem: failed to create task or type
proguard
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any presetdef/macrodef declarations have taken
place.

This is on Ubuntu 10.04 with Eclipse 3.5.2 (Galileo).  I've tried
pointing to both proguard directories the one I used before than the
one that was installed with 2.3.  Also I had to add quotes around the
path or ant would stop dead with those with a classpath error (found
references to this error but only for Windows but quotes worked for
Linux too).

So what has changed?  And also aren't we supposed to now be able to do
this with Eclipse rather than going to a terminal and running ant?
It's mentioned in the release notes but I don't see it in Eclipse (and
yes using 8.01 dev tools) nor anything on the Android development
site.

Isn't it fun when you update your app in a few minutes then get to
spend the afternoon trying to figure out some tool error like this to

[android-developers] Re: In-App payment options

2010-12-12 Thread JP

There's probably a few options, including these guys:
http://www.boku.com/
I ran into one of their staff a couple of weeks ago and asked what
their position on distributing in-app payment based apps in Android
Market was. That that was walking a thin line was acknowledged but
basically they consider it OK to distribute boku in-app-payment based
apps in Android Market. I am not so sure if that holds, but OTOH
Android Market might be losing out in the long run if they don't
support engagement based monetization models. At least where things
stand today, not many starting out dare not to have an engagement
angle to their monetization model. That's my perception anyways, hope
this helps.

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

2010-12-12 Thread DanH

You're preaching to the choir, mostly.  I've been in the biz for 40
years and pretty much can program in my sleep.  As you say, do the
simplest thing is generally the best approach.

Another rule of thumb is to minimize connections (in the form of
interfaces and parameters).  If slicing a project in half one way
results in 50 connections and another way results in 100 connections,
the first option is generally the best -- inherently it's doing a
better job of decoupling the two halves.  And decoupling is very
important because it makes the overall project easier to understand
and easier to maintain.  (I've been on giant projects that were only
able to succeed because an enforced interface was drawn between to
halves, and on other smaller projects that failed because no
interfaces were drawn.

But the main rule of thumb is that there are no rules of thumb --
slavishly following some cookbook formula for programming is a
recipe for disaster.

On Dec 12, 2:38 pm, Bob Kerns r...@acm.org wrote:
 This single responsibility thing is often misinterpreted as single
 bit of functionality, I fear.

 It's as much about clarity of role as anything. If adding
 functionality to an object blurs the lines of what that object does,
 than you are undermining the abstraction. If it takes 3 pages to
 describe what a module is responsible for, you have a problem.

 The flip side of single responsibility should always be complete
 responsibility. Failure in this is why you are dealing with 360-odd
 modules. This principle argues AGAINST separating related
 functionality.

 So what you have is a situation where it takes 30 pages to describe
 where the responsibility for the area lies!

 Often, however, you really do want to break things up into
 collaborations of smaller, more focused objects. This isn't driven
 blindly by single responsibility, but rather by looking at how you
 want to allow variation -- for example, breaking out address from
 user, to allow multiple addresses, or alternate address validation
 for different countries, etc. That might lead in turn to separating
 address from address validator, so you can have a single object
 responsible for representing the address, and just combine it with the
 appropriate validator, which is responsible only for validation.

 But note here that from the outside, you just have user, which owns
 addresses. There is still a single cohesive outer object, which has
 the ENTIRE responsibility for representing information about the user.
 We don't have an interface where we supply a user, and get back an
 address, and another where we supply an address and a user and get a
 validator, to which we then supply an address.

 The complete responsibility for the user information is concentrated
 in one place. This brings us to one of the key concepts of modularity
 -- HIDING THE IMPLEMENTATION. It is this notion of complete
 responsibility that enables modularity, by allowing details such as
 address validation to become part of the implementation rather than
 part of the interface.

 Sometimes this approach can lead to your 360-odd classes simply being
 hidden behind an interface. If so, you're still better off, because at
 least you now have a cohesive interface, even if you have a complex
 implementation.

 Often this situation arises from a desire to allow for future
 flexibility and variation. Often, that future need for that
 flexibility and variation never arises. Here, Do The Simplest Thing
 That Can Possibly Work is your best defense. But do not follow that
 rule slavishly. If your task is to create a framework on which others
 will build, possibly work has a very different meaning than creating
 a piece of end functionality.

 Still, people who have just learned to split up objects sometimes get
 carried away, because they see it as a way of avoiding rewriting the
 code later when things change. And often this is driven by excessive
 pain in rewriting, because of bad modularity, lack of skill with
 refactoring -- and lack of unit testing.

 Anyway, I just wanted to put this single responsibility thing in a
 different light. It's really a valid idea, and not the cause of your
 problem. Your problem was caused by a failure of the companion rule,
 complete responsibility. If you forget either half of this pair,
 you'll create a mess. Modularity depends on both operating together.

Ok, maybe I'm mistaken on this then.


I thought I ran into a problem supporting the install location tag
where it would not allow me to use it in a 2.1 build.
It may be that I needed to update my SDK (which has now been done
recently).


I'll check it again and report back here if that still the case.

[android-developers] EditText and auto-complete/correct

2010-12-12 Thread Raymond Rodgers

Off and on for months now, I've been trying to figure out how to get the 
on-screen keyboard to list the auto-complete/correct choices above the 
keyboard for various EditText views that I've used, and I haven't had 
any luck. Right now I'm creating it as:


EditText android:id=@+id/alarmMemo android:layout_width=fill_parent 
android:layout_height=match_parent android:imeOptions=actionNone 
android:inputType=text|textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect|textShortMessage 
android:maxLength=150/EditText


But I'm not getting the auto-complete or autocorrect options. Is there 
something I'm missing? Do I need to connect it to a dictionary, and if 
so how?


Thank you!

[android-developers] Dynamically reading drawable file names

2010-12-12 Thread darrinps

Is there any way for an Android app to read the file names of all the
files stored under drawable (or for that matter any other directory)?

I'd like to have it so I can plop in a new file and have the app read
the name for me for use in a dynamically sized list of radio buttons
(one button per file) that lists the name of the file by the radio
button.

I've done something like this with contacts, but I am not sure how you
read the file names from something like the drawable directory!

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] EditText and auto-complete/correct

Thanks, but that's not quite what I'm referring to. I've gotten 
AutoCompleteTextView to work with items I have in a database, but I'm 
meant something more akin to this:

Re: [android-developers] Re: which applications the user can install

A third party application can't impose less or more restriction than the
platform's signing rules, which I believe are documented in the SDK
documentation.

You should not sign an app with multiple certs.  Only use one.

android:installLocation was introduced in 2.2, so you need to compile
against the 2.2 SDK to build an app that uses it.  This does not prevent the
app from working on 2.1 (or earlier), however, as long as it explicitly
specifies android:minSdkVersion to say it is compatible with earlier
versions.

[android-developers] Flickering with keyboard animation

2010-12-12 Thread DH

Hi all,
  I'm trying to pop up a view in place of the soft keyboard, so I add
a layout to my content view and set it to invisible when the soft
keyboard is shown, and then set the layout to be visible when I want
to hide the keyboard and display my view.
Problem right now is whenever I set my layout and view to visible and
the soft keyboard closing animation start to play, there is a visible
flicker that goes through the entire view.

Anyone know how to: control the soft keyboard closing animation?
Or possibly let only the layout animate and translate itself up while
the keyboard translates itself down?

THanks.

2010-12-12 Thread deepak


Hi Kenneth,

The A-GPS service will be by default enabled in your phone. I mean it
will be pre-configured to a specific server address.

The Android framework goes for A-GPS by default unless you are in
airplane mode or data connection is not available. So, your app will
be using A-GPS by default and there is no separate API for using A-
GPS.

Thanks,
Deepak

 Application was project based and I think I should use eclipse as if I
 use Visual C++ when I write MFC program.

 2. Should I install JDK 64 bit?
 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
 Files' directory because it was on 'Program Files(x86)'. when I linked
 directory, it still could't find it.
 Should I use JDK 64bit? I saw some program for 32 bit does not run on
 64bit Windows.
 If I should use 64bit JDK, I just need to reinstall JDK only? I saw
 SDK is installed only after JDK is installed.

 Please answer.

 But, I want to know how/where to set in order to let AP level
 application - LocationManager can get gps nmea via JNI/Android.
 How/Where should I set?
 Should I implement some codes followed gps.h?
 Or Can I redirect the nmea from /dev/ttymxc1 to somewhere?

[android-developers] Re: Dynamically reading drawable file names

Well, it's not what you asked for (since drawables come from different
directories) but it may be closer to what you are looking for.

You can use Java reflection to find all the public fields in
R.drawable.

The drawable directory doesn't exist at runtime; the contents are
packaged up into the .apk file.

If that's not what you need to know, here are a couple of other
possibilities:

The assets directory DOES exist at runtime, at least conceptually; you
can access that via the AssetManager, which provides a method to list
the contents in a particular directory within the assets folder.

Finally, you can use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get
a Java File object referring to the SD card, or
Environment.getDataDirectory() to get an on-board location available
to your program (but smaller, of course).

 I'd like to have it so I can plop in a new file and have the app read
 the name for me for use in a dynamically sized list of radio buttons
 (one button per file) that lists the name of the file by the radio
 button.

 I've done something like this with contacts, but I am not sure how you
 read the file names from something like the drawable directory!

 Thanks.

[android-developers] two method to get the service

2010-12-12 Thread tangke

hi,all

I have a question that how to get a service?

I have two different method to set backlightbrightness

1.
IPowerManager pm =
IPowerManager.Stub.asInterface(ServiceManager.getService(Context.POWER_SERVICE));

pm.setBacklightBrightness(0);

2.
PowerManager mpm =
(PowerManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.POWEER_SERVICE);
mpm.setBacklightBrightness(0);


and I read the source code, that the two method will use the first method.


PowerManager.java

public void setBacklightBrightness(int brightness)
{
try {
mService.setBacklightBightness(brightness);
}catch(RemoteException e) {
}
}


what is the difference of the two method?

thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Plug-in for email client

2010-12-12 Thread Joey Tribbiani

Thanks a lot Kostya for your reply. Your reply made me understand the
complexity little clearer. But still my requirement makes me come back
to you to ask the question, this time more specifically.

We are interested in developing a plugin to the Android native email
client. This plugin will make certain changes to the email before it
is dispatched. As an example, the SpellChecker utility of Outlook that
makes changes to the email before dispatch.

We need to know if developing such a plugin would be possible and your
views regarding it.
Thanks again.

 Joey,

 Sitting on top of the default Android email client is probably not a
 good idea, since the internals of this application (or even its
 existence) are not part of the Android SDK, and there are no guarantees
 whatsoever as to how to interact with the internals.

 Just to give an example, HTC has a customized email client at part of
 their Sense UI. Did they change the internals? Who knows, but they could
 have.

 I assume you've already looked at K9 - it would be a good place to
 start, since they've already made it build as a regular application,
 that only uses the SDK, and builds without internal build tools.

  I want to know:
  1. If this possible to do so?
  2. Will the native email client will support my plug-in?
  3. And if it is possible then how and where can I start?

    This is a very gray area for me so far, so please any guidance will
  be appreciated.

  Looking forward for an early reply.

Re: [android-developers] Dynamically reading drawable file names

I would recommend just having another resource holding an array of the
drawables to include.  See for example this declaring one:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/values/arrays.xml;h=a0bc5b36923f5d88d4bbc98645d29340d187d434;hb=HEAD#l24

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/values/arrays.xml;h=a0bc5b36923f5d88d4bbc98645d29340d187d434;hb=HEAD#l24And
this reading it:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java;h=b677b1e6048988a02ddb65ee2dff54acd82061ba;hb=HEAD#l415

Sure, it is one more step required when adding a resource, but at runtime it
is going to be far more efficient than other solutions that require scanning
through resources or R symbols or such.
