[android-developers] about the market 15 minutes refund window

[nick]

 It seems that the new 15 minute refund windows is live, but is it so
in every country with paid apps? And if so, how does it look from
Google Checkout? I would expect that order state will change to
Charged/Shipped within more or less 15 minutes. This is not the case
in Japan though. It still takes about 24 hours for the order state to
change to Charged/Shipped. So the question is: is the new refund
window not active everywhere or is it just orders update only once a
day?

That is not possible, sorry. stopService() is an asynchronous call.

http://office.techniconsulting.be/~peeters/eclipse_screenshot.jpg

I've a left image (296 *600) and right image (728 * 600) as
background.
mail.xml looks like:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_height="600px"
android:layout_width="1024px">

  




Whwen I run it in the simulator it looks like:

http://office.techniconsulting.be/~peeters/emulator_screenshot.jpg

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong. AppBrain's functionality is great. I
just wish that Google would make the feed available for all.

Just to clarify, Rovio is using in-app payments from Fortumo

parties already right now :)

[android-developers] Game pretty much like mine

[brian purgert]

So yesterday I,m looking around on the app market and I noticed that there
is a game very similer to the game I've been working on for months now, so
now im pretty bummed out I thought I would be the first to bring this type
of game out for android but Im not.
The game that is similar to mine is mxmoto, its a pretty good game but the
physics aren't anywhere as good as mine, for instance you can beat any level
if you hold your phone straight, and its much to sensative for the average
user... well the thing is I can't make my game look professional like. What
do you guys think I should do. My game is called doodle bike btw and its
similar but there is more physics like spinning objects and gravity changes.

[android-developers] My App should get information of every Http Get.

[chetan]

Hi guys,
Wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in
advance.
 I am planning to make an app. There is a requirement to
get every Http Get information and notification to my App.
   Like user open google.com from borwser, at the same time my
app should get notification or broadcast that google.com has been
opened.
  Basically, My App should get information of every url which
would be accessed from browser.

Please give some ideas.

Thanks
Chetan Chauhan

Re: [android-developers] Re: Anybody seen a slowdown in sales?

[Mark Carter]

Indeed I am painfully aware of this and have written in countless forums
about it over the past couple of years!

"Country I am living in" dictates which "Country sim card I use" in order to
have mobile broadband without paying huge roaming costs. Switching sim cards
requires me to pop down to some nearby cafe to make use of their wifi and
then access the Market for paid apps (or free apps unavailable in obscure
countries - eBay, YouTube?).

How I love the sim card rule :(

You know that it's the SIM card that determines if you can see the
paid apps, not your physical location.

I have to do this as I live in Singapore and I cannot see some apps,
such as e-Bay (why, why?) and if I want to update it, I need to swap
in my (non-working) T-Mobile USA SIM card

set the path of adb in environment varaible. You will get adb in
android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder instead of android-sdk-

[Mark Carter]

My app is #1 in its category (Highest rated paid apps) in AppBrain and #76
in the equivalent category on the Android Market website. Right now, I'm
unable to check its ranking on the Android Market app thanks to being in a
non-paid app country :(

[android-developers] Android:: Service::OnDestroy being called late..

[JC]

Hello all,

I have service with thread, From activity I am calling start
service(from Activity::onDestroy()) and stop service
(activity::onCreate()).

StopService() returned instantly but my Service::OnDestroy called
after so many time, pretty late, Why? How to make Service::OnDestroy
called immediately when calling StopService().

Activity class

MyActivity::OnDestroy()
{
  System.out.println("MyActivity-OnDestroy Start");
  // we are leaving activity so start service
  Intent svcIntent = new Intent(this,MyService.class);
  svcIntent.putExtra("SomeData", m_iData);
  startService(svcIntent);
  System.out.println("MyActivity-OnDestroy, startservice called");
  ..
  ..
  System.out.println("MyActivity-OnDestroy, End");
}
MyActivity::OnCreate()
{
  System.out.println("MyActivity-onCreate Start");
  // if service running stop it.
  if (m_bCalledFromNotification)
  {
   System.out.println("Stopping Service");
   boolean b = stopService(new Intent(this,AudioService.class));
   System.out.println("Stopping Service, Status="+b);
  }
  System.out.println("MyActivity-onCreate End");
}
Service class

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}

// When service is created
@Override
public void onCreate()
{
// initialize service data
System.out.println("MyService Created");
}

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
System.out.println("In MyService::onDestroy");
m_UIUpdater.interrupt();
System.out.println("In MyService::onDestroy, updater thread
interrupted");
..
System.out.println("My Service Stopped");
}

// This is the old onStart method that will be called on the pre-2.0
// platform.  On 2.0 or later we override onStartCommand() so this
// method will not be called.
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId)
{
StartupHandler(intent,startId);
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
StartupHandler(intent,startId);
// We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
// stopped, so return sticky.
return START_STICKY;
}

public void StartupHandler(Intent intent, int startid)
{
// send notification
System.out.println("In MyService::StartupHandler, Sending
notification");

// start thread
m_UIUpdater = new Thread(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("In MyService::Thread::Run");
while (!Thread.interrupted())
{
// check update
System.out.println("In MyService::Thread::Run::got
update and loop for next update");
}
}
}
}
Now here is output of logcat which show how late MyService::OnDestroy
called.

12-17 09:25:44.462: INFO/System.out(314): MyActivity-OnDestroy Start

12-17 09:26:01.591: INFO/System.out(314): My Service Stopped
Have i implemented service code correctly?

How can i wait for service to destroy gracefully so that i can do
remaining process after service has destroyed, like reading data
service has stopped.

Thanks,
JRC

For the TextView inside layout:
android:focusable="true" android:duplicateParentState="true"

focusable will enable it to have different states (focused, not focussed 
etc, which a TextView does not have by default).
duplicateParentState will make its state to be same as its parent (the 
layout which contains the TextView)

So, when the state of the parent layout changes, the state of the TextView 
changes. So, text color changes also.

If you do not like the default text colors provided by Android for different 
states, you can further use your own Color State list for the TextView to 
specify your own colors.

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

[Eong]

You shouldn't remove the up/down add/remove buttons from outline, it's
very usefull, much more than the dragging style. Now I have to edit
the xml myself! Dragging really sucks in my workspace, text view
without text will not show up correctly and a lot of views are missing
in merge block. And I need to drag 10 times to make a view in a right
position. And we have no choice if we need the 2.3 SDK, it's a force
update. It really slows my development a lot! I even prefer xml editor
than this dragging editor. You need to fixing it!!!

Best regards,
Eong

[android-developers] Re: Multiple TextViews Inside a Button

[Derek Winstead]

I've already done this before in my app (layout with textviews and the
layout has the onclicks), however I do have a new question. Adding the
statelist as the background works for the layout but what about the
text changing colors?

I've had a hard time figuring out how to do style changes on the fly
with android.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

[android-developers] problem in nested linear layout

[pramod.deore]

Hi, all I have xml file in that there is one radio group which has 3
radio buttons arranged in horizontal. then there are 4 textfield and 4
buttons arranged in vertical. But what I want is arrange first 2
buttons and 2 textfield horizontal and last 2 buttons and 2 textfield
horizontal. I wrote nested linear layout but it is not working. Here
it still shows all buttons and textfield vertical.

Here is my xml file

 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content">

[android-developers] Re: Anybody seen a slowdown in sales?

[keyeslabs]

Has anyone seen resolution of this?

My sales have decreased, most likely due to a dramatic drop in
rankings (by about 25 slots).  Sudden and dramatic would be how I
would characterize the change.  Seems closely correlated with the new
market app.

Interestingly, my active installs has been climbing during the same
period.

I'll be very interested to see how transparent the ranking algorithms
are in some of the other markets.  VCast is already rolling, and
others are soon-to-be kicked off.  Android Market rankings have been a
roller coaster over the last year, and it's been a frustrating ride as
dev.  I can say one thing about these other markets for sure, they
have forced Google to make changes to the market at a rate that
developers and consumers never could.  Whether those changes are
improvements or not remains to be seen.  I just LOVE competition!

BTW, how many of us that saw drops in rankings are registered on the
other markets? :)

And please don't use the right arrow :-)  It makes your app look like

Orientation can be changed at any point (you need to recalculate the text 
length then).

Yes, we are talking about the same thing.

I used a Button because it already handles all that state change
stuff, so there was zero amount of extra work on my part.

[android-developers] Re: Multiple TextViews Inside a Button

[Sarwar Erfan]

Hi Vasvari,
You wrote it yourself: 
". by placing a Button and a bunch of other controls ."
You did not use a single Button, you used a button and some "other" 
controls, inside a layout.

What Derek wanted to know that whether it is possible using a button and 
only a button, which is not possible.

The solution provided by you and me are almost same, its a layout with some 
controls to expose same look and feel.

And, I did not say you cannot use a button in the group of controls. But, I 
"confirmed" that, this specific LinkedIn application does not use a button 
to achieve this feature (dont ask how did I  get confirmation). As soon as 
we find at least one way to achieve the look and feel, we all should be 
happy.

[android-developers] Re: Multiple TextViews Inside a Button

[metal mikey]

Or you could just use a normal Button view with a whole bunch of
spaces seperating the right text from the left text.*

*pretty crude way about it, but if your font size won't change and the
button size won't change it could be the path of least resistance ;)

Also, regarding the > (right arrow) image within the LinkedIn example,
that can simple be incorporated into the background 9patch image,
rather than plonking an extra ImageView in the foreground.

[android-developers] Re: Android - add menu item to Android's built-in apps

[Sarwar Erfan]

Hi,

You are willing to add an extra button to the QuickContactBadge available 
for Contacts application in Android, which seems not to be possible using 
any documented API.
The contact list is actually not part of Android core OS, its a separate 
application which uses the contacts stored in the device to display and 
offer you certain specific behaviors. You cannot just edit this, there is no 
api for this in Android SDK (as this is not a part of Anroid platform). It 
is like that, someone have installed your application, now he wants to add 
an extra button in your app (I am not considering reverse engineering here)

The number of buttons on QuickContactBadge depends on the information stored 
about the contact. If it contains a phone number, a call button will be 
there. If email address is found, email button will be there.

It is not clear what button you want to add there. Obviously not a "Call" 
button as you have drawn in your provided image, call button is already 
there. If you want some action which is not covered in the default contacts 
application, you can always develop your own contacts application with 
standard features + your desired additional features. It is possible to 
display popup menu which looks exactly like the QuickContactBadge , in case 
you need.

Also, in your own contacts application, you can have limited ability to 
configure the QuickContactBadge.

[android-developers] Greystripe banner.refresh causes null pointer exception

[MrY]

I sent a message to Greystripe support team, but I was wondering if
anyone else has faced a similar issue and know the cause / solution.

I followed their android SDK document.
 - added a provider, a view, and permissions to manifest.xml
 - called GSSDK.initialize() and banner.refresh() in my activity
 - registered my phone as a test device in their web site

 banner.refresh() throws a null pointer exception while
GSSDK.initialize does not.

I would appreciate pointers.

[android-developers] Did Market Ranking Change?

[keyeslabs]

I know, I know.  No one can actually believe that their app would drop
in the rankings.  I've seen these threads before.  I'm not
complaining, just curious.

My app has held fairly stable in the Tools category over the last
year, but over the course of the last few days has dropped by 25 slots
(from roughly 25th to roughly 50th).

Here's what I know.

- My active installs have not gone down, they've actually gone up.
- I recently dropped my price for a "holiday sale"
- due to in-app promotion in the "lite" version of my app, I had a
temporary 20x increase in purchases of "pro", but that trailed off
after about a week.  That happened about 4 weeks ago.
- The dramatic drop happened just recently (sometime near Dec 17) and
seems to coincide with the deployment of the new market app

Theories?  Others seeing the same thing?  I'm curious if the temporary
kick in sales and subsequent decrease back to "normal" is somehow
affecting a sliding average used for ranking.

Hi,
You missed one element. There is two text elements and one icon also in 
right side of the number of connections (see attached image):




I can confirm its not a button. Create your own layout. Use a statelist as 
background. And, use 9 patch images in the statelist (if you want it to look 
good in both orientations).

Put two TextView and one ImageView in the layout.

I don't have a screen shot available right now. It is a button with

button however the gravity is instead of the left/right aligning.

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget's service killed under Gingerbread & GalaxyS(2.1) but not killed under other phones/versions

[metal mikey]

My solution was to take away the problem. Reworked things so I could
simply pull data over HTTP. No more headaches! A shame though, as I'd
put a lot of time into getting FTP working on most phones under most
versions of Android...but the different behaviours I was seeing across
makes/versions was disheartening and the cause of those headaches.

Re: [android-developers] ContentObserver and BroadcastReceiver

[Dianne Hackborn]

No there isn't.  This is deliberate, as having apps suddenly getting
launched left and right as syncs happen in the background stuff is likely to
lead to an undesirable outcome.  The approach we generally take is that in
cases where there is some kind of change that may happen that an app may
reasonably be launched for, defining a specific broadcast for that that the
content provider sends at that point.  For example there is a broadcast the
gmail provider sense when new mail has arrived.

[android-developers] Multiple TextViews Inside a Button

[Derek Winstead]

I want to make a button like the ones in the LinkedIn beta app. The
buttons that say "Connections" and then on the right has the count of
your connections.

To me this looks like a button with two textviews inside it. Is that
even possible. I tried creating that and got errors at runtime. Do I
need to create style for a layout that looks like a button and put the
two textviews inside there and have the layout do the onClick()
events? This seems like a hack to me, but I wanted to know if anyone
else has a solution for this.

Thanks,
Derek

[android-developers] ContentObserver and BroadcastReceiver

[Julius Spencer]

Hi,

(Note: might be a silly question...)

I have an application which has data related to a ContentProvider. The 
ContentProvider's content is updated from time to time and a ContentObserver 
seems like a good choice to know about these updates.

Is there a way to have a have a cross between a ContentObserver and a 
BroadcastReceiver so that the application doesn't need to be running and yet 
when content is updated a broadcast is created?

Regards,
Julius.

[android-developers] Re: NFC Secure Element

[nemik]

Dominik,

Yea, that's right. All it does currently is read; at least via the
Java API. If you look at the kernel source though, a bunch of ifdefs
which allow for emulation were all disabled. So full compliance with
the NFC standard will have to wait for a future kernel release.

Yes, right, as we've been saying you are supposed to set the wallpaper to
the size that the wallpaper manager tells you it should be, and if you do
anything else then the platform will adjust it to be the dimensions it
wants.

As has been said a number of times now, if you want to do something where
you set the wallpaper to be an image the exact size of the screen and turn
off parallax scrolling, you can't do that by just setting a static image,
you'd need to make a "live" wallpaper.  (Which again as I have already said,
for a static image is relatively simple, but more than a couple  lines of
code.)

[android-developers] Re: Who or What is AppBrain?

[Peter Webb]

AppBrain "knows" what other apps are installed on phones that use
AppBrain, and what sort of phone and O/S it is. The AppBrain client
harvests this info and stores it in a central DB.

They also know the age, sex and country of use of every phone that
uses Appbrain, because when you (as a user) sign up for Appbrain you
provide this information.

The market data comes from the Market.

The program "mashes" these three datasets together.

Ok, I can see my application's log output with "adb logcat".  I still

It will fail on the Droid Incredible because they didn't wire up that
URI to point to the "external" storage mounted at, I think, /emmc.
That's fragmentation for you.  (I think they did it wrong.)  But at
least their camera app doesn't put content on the sdcard.  It's forced
into the built-in space that will get picked up by the Android media
scanner when it indexes EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.

However, it works on Galaxy S devices because its built-in "external"
space is wired to that URI --AND-- if you do have a sdcard in the
device, it will mount THAT filesystem underneath the internal storage
space.  So if the internal storage space was at /mnt/sdcard, your
additional sdcard would be at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.  And when the
Android media scanner runs to index media referenced by
EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, it will scan all of /mnt/sdcard, including the
sdcard.  So they're doing it in a more compatible way that lets you
get at the media on the user's sdcard in addition to the built-in
space.

I don't know what the Nexus S or HTC Hero do.  I also don't know what
this Picasa Tool Pro does.  Maybe it doesn't query against the Android
content providers for media and does its own thing instead.

[android-developers] Re: How to block a BufferedReader when no input is available?

[Bob Kerns]

I figured it'd be something like that. Confusion can be
contagious... :=)

Using a byte array stream says you know how much data you have up
front. You can't grow arrays in Java.

The growable equivalent would be a PipedInputStream/PipedOutputStream
pair, and read operates there as you'd expect, blocking the input if
no further output is available. And write() blocks until space is
available to write, too.

[android-developers] Re: Who or What is AppBrain?

[mathijs]

Hi Doug,

I'm glad you like the data we provide after claiming your app.

The recognizable things like the 5-star ratings and market comments of
course come directly from Google.
However, the thumbs-up / down reviews are posted by AppBrain users,
and the phone models, countries,
hotness graph etc. you can see on the developer dashboard are derived
from the usage of apps and our site
by our users. (After we aggregate it and filter it to not reveal any
privacy details of our users).

Best regards,

Mathijs for the AppBrain team.

[android-developers] Flipping views (or: the magic behind onInterceptTouchEvent)

[Marc Reichelt]

Hi!

I want to create a new widget for Android developers which allows to
use the same functionality as seen on the home screen (flipping
between different screens), the calendar (flipping between days) or
TweetDeck (flipping through Twitter columns). The source for the
launcher is there, so I thought this might not take so long:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Launcher.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/launcher/Workspace.java;h=2e04311f530003dbd76695f46876a785164acb99;hb=HEAD#l572

It seems that the two methods onInterceptTouchEvent() and
onTouchEvent() do all the things that are needed for getting the
events, so I copied them to a new class and removed functionality that
is for the Workspace only. You can see my work-in-progress here:
http://pastebin.com/8p8GCEZK

My problem now is: onInterceptTouchEvent() is always only called once
with the MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN action so I never get into the
ACTION_MOVE case - where the actual fling would be initiated. I played
around with the return values of onInterceptTouchEvent() (true means
to steal events from children) and the return values of onTouchEvent()
(true means to consume the event), but I didn't get any further.

Is there some kind of magic behind onInterceptTouchEvent() or
onTouchEvent() which I didn't notice? Is my problem even solveable? I
hope so... :-)


Thanks in advance & merry christmas
Marc

[android-developers] Re: Setting Wallpaper

[String]

I've tested this extensively on my G1 and N1 (not to mention innumerable 
emulator instances), and the stock Launcher asks for an image 
2*portrait-height x 1*portrait-height. So on HVGA it's a 640x320, on N1-spec 
WVGA it's 960x480, etc. If you give it any other size, it will be scaled to 
fit those dimensions, as you've found. Beyond my own handsets, this is also 
my experience from a couple of apps deployed to a good few thousand users; 
the only notable deviations from those guidelines that I've seen are 
Samsung's old TouchWiz UI (which used different images for different panes) 
and Garmin's Nuvifone (which wouldn't report dimensions at all).

Again, if you DON'T want the image to stretch across the multiple homescreen 
panes with the parallax effect, you'll need to go the live wallpaper route. 
I think we're all in agreement here that it can't be done with 
Context.setWallpaper().

[android-developers] Market 15min refund period -- and a problem

[Zsolt Vasvari]

The 15 min period has now started, people seeing that on their
receipts.

I have decided to still honor the previous 24hr period as my app is
impossible to evalute in 15 mins.

That said, the Market team decided, in their infinite wisdom, that
orders still don't get finalized for 24 hrs, so what happens is that I
cannot issue a refund until the 24 hrs is up.

Re: [android-developers] How to actually see log messages in ADT, or anywhere for that matter?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

You could try running "adb logcat" from your computer's command line. That
would tell you if it's the device or Eclipse that is the problem. If the
device's logcat works, you will see lots of output, not just your
application's. All tags should be enabled by default.

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

[darrinps]

I had the code in my start up (splash) activity, so yes it was in the
proper (as far as I know of) Context.

Yes, I did try to use the Resources.getSystem() verbatim. What
"normal" Resources object are you referring to? In other words, if you
cannot do:

mResources = Resources.getSystem();

Then what would be to the right of:

mResources = ?

Actually, if it is too much of a pain don't worry about it. I've
already worked around this the old fashioned way by using a Map to
relate my image name to the R.drawable.image(s) that I have and
although cumbersome, works just fine.

I really do appreciate the effort trying to help though! :)

[android-developers] How to actually see log messages in ADT, or anywhere for that matter?

[David Karr]

I've deployed an app to my device that calls "Log.v(String, String)".
I'm using the ADT.  I have the "LogCat" view showing.

I step over the line of code that calls "Log.v()".  Nothing appears in
the LogCat view.

I haven't added any filters.  I've tried clicking the "V" toggle
button in the LogCat view, but that makes no difference.

It appears that I'm supposed to set the log level of the device. There
appears to be no way to do that from the ADT.  However, looking at the
various short articles discussing this, I believe that doing this from
the shell is supposed to do it:

  ./adb -d shell setprop log.tag.SNAPSHOT VERBOSE

Where my tag is "SNAPSHOT".  I ran this, and it returned to the prompt
without showing the usage info, so I assume it at least recognized my
input.

The line of code that is executed is this:

Log.v("SNAPSHOT", "Checking currentEffect[" + currentEffect + "]");

This line doesn't show up in the LogCat view.

What am I missing?

In fact to add to that is there a link between EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI &

.getExternalStorageDirectory(). 

Is 
getContentUri

[android-developers] Re: Who or What is AppBrain?

[String]

AppBrain is somebody's vision of what the Market should be, and it's not a 
bad one. The basic app information (name, description, etc) is "pirated" 
from the Market, as Mark says, but a lot of the other data is stuff they've 
gathered their own, as far as I can tell. Their client has enough users that 
it can generate reasonable statistics - what you see on their site - as well 
as making the recommendations that users see. But I believe that it does 
scan all the apps that a user has on their phone; it doesn't just work with 
apps installed through AppBrain. And AFAIK, apps aren't really installed 
through AppBrain anyway, they just link to the Market.

Re: [android-developers] getExternalStorageDirectory() on NEXUS S

[Tabman]

Hi,

I have a question related to this. How many phones are out there with this 
type of behavior ? I want to access Camera Photos/Videos on a phone and for 
that I've used EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI but it seems that approach would fail on 
a phone like Droid Incredible. How should I design my app such that it is 
able to get camera data from any android phone ?

I saw an app *Picasa Tool Pro* and they give a list of categories to choose 
from as if all phones are implementing different directories for Camera 
photos/videos:

Camera Photo Folder (default)
Camera Photo Folder (For HTC Hero, Eris .)
Camera Photo Folder (For Incredible)

Is there anything special about HTC Hero, Eris ?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Setting Wallpaper

[Neilz]

Dianne, I'm using three devices to play with this... Nexus, Hero,
Europa.

Basically I've spent way too many hours trying to get this to work
programmatically with a screen sized (320 * 480) image. It clearly
isn't practical to set wallpaper with an image of those dimensions...
I'm just going to have to tell my client "No..."!

[android-developers] Re: Fm Radio

[Bob Kerns]

I'm not about to spend my time on producing an example or even
tracking it down, as I just don't have the time.

But it looks like Gaz Davidson has tracked one down -- though it's
different than the app on my phone, which appears to have been created
by HTC. This is good news for you, actually, since the one he located
is open source!

You can't use the bluetooth antenna; that would be vastly too short.
It uses the headset wire as an antenna, which isn't really great as an
antenna, but is adequate if you have a good signal available in your
area. Just plugin in your headset! Phones that support this will have
the necessary connection from the headset wiring to the radio chip.

What do I think about this? I think it's a cool application of some
cool technology for constructing radios. Not terribly important -- FM
will eventually be supplanted by radio over IP, IMO, and I don't often
listen to it anymore. But cool, nonetheless.

The HTC radio app is pretty slickly done but basic. The Code Aurora
one I haven't seen, but from glancing at the code appears to have the
ability to record. I've often wanted an "instant replay" button on
radios like you can enable for TiVo (but is disabled/hidden by
default, grr...). Not that I have time to watch TV anymore either...

Anything that comes from the Android Market (e.g., comments, ratings)

[android-developers] Who or What is AppBrain?

[Doug Gordon]

OK, I went to their site and "claimed" my product, but I'm confused as 
to the relationship between AppBrain and the Android Market. Mainly, 
where are the statistics on AppBrain coming from?


In addition to the description and screenshots, they have the overall 
rating and comments directly from the Market, but how do they get those 
(very useful!) statistics on device type, age, gender, etc.? Are these 
only for apps when they're downloaded from AppBrain, or do they somehow 
come from Market data?


This is stuff that would make our pages on the Android Market a lot more 
interesting and helpful!

[android-developers] Re: ProGuard Integration?

[Bob Kerns]

There are two different problems. Ant scripts don't usually suffer
from the the spaces-in-directories problems, as they don't usually, if
coded correctly, involve constructing command lines as strings. (The
ant tasks, if used correctly, will handle the quoting issues correctly
automatically). I assumed this was inheriting the problem from a .bat
file -- but I don't see any obvious sign of that, and fixing the .bat
file with the known problem doesn't solve it.

But here's a better workaround for you. Instead of using Documents and
Settings, use the short 8.3 name for that directory -- use 'dir /X' to
find it. That will bypass the issue for you - unless your IT folks
disable short names, which I think is unlikely.

I'm kicking myself for not thinking to suggest it earlier. I've had to
resort to it often -- but not in many years, thankfully.

I just verified with a "test proj" directory that I can reproduce the
problem, and that using the short name avoids it.

[android-developers] Re: ProGuard Integration?

[Bob Kerns]

Oh, I quite agree. I'm not being very unfair -- but I certainly didn't
say or intend to imply that the script is not at fault.

The one bit of unfairness is I inadvertently lay the blame for "the
problem" on your IT department. I intended only the blame for your
inability to bypass the (entirely foreseeable) problem! LONG
experience tells me developers should not work under C:\Documents and
Settings.

It's an unfortunate reality that scripts VERY frequently fail under
this condition, and thus it is prudent for we script users to avoid
triggering the script-writers' bugs.

The point about your OS was not that this was the cause of your
problem! I was pointing out that this problem was so common, Microsoft
even got rid of the space in later OS versions.

The vast majority of the software you run does not involve scripts.
It's very unusual for applications to have this bug. But it's tricky
getting the quoting right when you're building a command-line in a
script. It's somewhat harder with cmd.exe than it is with the various
Unix shells, but it's tricky in either environment, and so often not
tested. I've even fallen into that trap myself.

So have a bit of sympathy for the script writers! But nonetheless, you
are entirely correct that there was a serious testing failure involved
here. This is absolutely something that should be part of the testing
for any publicly-distributed script, on any platform.

Just FYI, and not relevant to this issue at all -- XP has by most
measures, at this point, dropped below the 50% point -- and that
includes ancient home computers never upgraded, computers in the third-
world, pirated copies, etc. Tricky to measure, tricky to even define
what you want to measure.

But given the insecurity, lack of support, lack of support for current
hardware, and even application compatibility issues, it's not so
common now in a corporate setting, though there are some glaring
exceptions. I even know of a large corporation still on Windows 2000
as of a few months ago.

But the reason I brought up IT is because it MAY (or may not) be a
viable strategy for you to make it their problem. I would strongly
recommend that you actually try this, regardless of whether it's
likely to succeed, because if you do succeed, you will avoid future
script problems as well.  Just don't put all your eggs in that basket.
I didn't intend to imply this was hopeless; I only intended to
acknowledge that it might not be viable in your environment.

[android-developers] need the script for back button emulation

[Aco]

can someone tell me what script/command I need to run on a rooted
phone to emulate android's hardware back button?

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to block a BufferedReader when no input is available?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Bob,

Yes, you're right, that's how it works.

Somehow I got the impression that the OP was using a byte array stream, 
which does report end of input as soon as the end of its byte array is 
reached.


Rereading the post, I realized that he never actually said he was using 
a byte array stream. It must have been the "constantly growing" that 
made me think of a byte array.


Thanks.

You're missing something. Surprisingly, so are Dan and Kostya! :=)

1) use of notify/wait does not involve sleep in any way, shape, or
form. It is, in fact, exactly what you're asking for -- but at a very
low level that you don't even need to worry about here.

2) The normal way to read, blocking until input is available, is to
call one of the read() methods on the input stream. Under some
circumstances, it is possible for a read on certain streams to return
with zero bytes of data, but that would be an unusual circumstance
(like, for example, a write to a pipe with zero bytes of data). But
that will still be in response to some data, not due to the stream
being dry. You're right that this is a key part of many I/O systems --
including Java. Really, why did you think otherwise?

Quoting from the documentation for the read() method:
"This method blocks until input data is available, end of file is
detected, or an exception is thrown." -- JDK
"Blocks until one byte has been read, the end of the source stream is
detected or an exception is thrown." -- ADK

BufferedReader.readLine() calls read() on the underlying Reader.
InputStreamReader calls read() on the underlying stream. Just get rid
of your outer do/while loop and associated Thread.sleep() call.

Here's a little demo program:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class Run {
 public static void main(String...args) throws IOException,
InterruptedException {
 if (args.length == 0) {
 System.err.println("Usage: java " + Run.class.getName() +
"");
 System.exit(-1);
 }
 Process process = new
ProcessBuilder(args).redirectErrorStream(true).start();
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
 String line;
 while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
 System.out.println(line);
 }
 System.out.println("All done; trying more reads to demonstrate
further.");
 boolean readMore = false;
 while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
 readMore = true;
 System.out.println("MORE: " + line);
 }
 if (readMore) {
 System.out.println("Stream did not immediately fail after
returning null");
 } else {
 System.out.println("Stream did not allow additional reads
after returning null.");
 }
 }
}

You can call this on a script that alternatively outputs and sleeps,
such as this one for windows:

run.bat:
@for /L %%i in (0, 1, 10) do @(
   echo This is step %%i
   sleep 6
)

I don't think any of these solutions help, as I did not write the
writer thread and cannot alter its code.

Unless I am missing something, use of notify/wait would only move the
sleep() to another thread, achieving nothing.

Is there no intrinsic, system-based means of having a read block until
the stream is closed (rather than having just temporarily run dry) or
has more data to offer?  This is a key part of many I/O systems, yes?

Use Java thread synchronization:

Have the reader thread "wait" when there is no data and the writer
thread "notify" the reader when more data is available (and when it
should exit its processing loop).

I have code in a worker thread that needs to efficiently read a
constantly-growing input stream from a process.
The issue is that the present design uses a sleep() for a short period
if there is no input presently available, and I'd like the attempt to
read the input stream simply *block* so it magically awakes when more
input is available.  I fear this will mean a small hit on phone
responsiveness.
How does one alter code from this form to do such a thing?
BufferedReader bufferedReader =
  new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
  do {
  String line;
  while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
// new input would be processed here
  }
  Thread.sleep(500); // TODO: make this go away
  } while (true);

Re: [android-developers] Issue with startActivity

You need to add the "test" activity into your manifest.

Anyway, use logcat to see the error that is being thrown, as Kostya
suggested.

[android-developers] Re: ProGuard Integration?

[H]

Thanks for your comment, but you are being a bit unfair there. Competent IT 
department or not, there really shouldn't be a problem with spaces in the 
folder name as the vast majority of all the other software I run on my 
windows machine has no problem whatsoever.

I don't want to get into the argument about the number of developers on 
windows and the number on other machines, but surely the windows users are 
still a sizeable proportion of android developers. So this release of ADT 
should have at least been tested on a standard build of windows - the 
windows build being the most used, which is still XP, I believe. If this was 
the case, they would have spotted that (a) the default for eclipse is to put 
a workspace under "Documents and Settings" and (b) the default for a temp 
folder is under the "Documents and settings\Local settings\temp".

Telling me that I'm using the wrong operating system is not helpful as the 
android dev documentation clearly says that this all works on windows and 
also on xp.

[android-developers] Re: ProGuard Integration?

[H]

I've downloaded the latest release of Ant and updated ANT_HOME in eclipse to 
use this version (1.8.1) and the build trying to use proguard still fails as 
above. The problems with spaces in the folder hierarchy is still the main 
problem.

[android-developers] Re: ProGuard Integration?

[Bob Kerns]

Still running Windows XP, I see. With Internet Explorer 6, perhaps?

You might be able to get around this with a directory link
('junction'). The capability is in XP, but not the command. You can
get that from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768

Of course, your local policies may prevent this, or it might cause
whatever failure they are trying to avoid. The real solution is to get
a competent IT department, or at least escalate the issue within the
organization and make solving it THEIR problem, since they created the
problem. Of course, it might be easier and faster to build your .apk
by hand using a hex editor... :-)

But seriously -- this is a problem for enough development tools that
"Documents and Settings" is something developers should not have to
contend with; it will bite you again. I think that's why it's C:\Users
