[android-developers] Direct interaction between application and library
Hello, I am working on a GPS library which needs to interact directly with an application. I am not supposed to change any framework code. Hence I have managed to implement this solution using sockets. The GPS library creates a new detached thread on startup, which opens up a socket. The application also connects to the same socket on onCreate() method. However the problem is that this setup uses a lot of resources, and I am looking for a way to solve this problem. I am looking for a design which will create both the client and server sockets on application startup, and destroy the same when the application quits. To make this happen, I have thought of one approach: Implement JNI in the vendor directory and create a so, that will be loaded, and this communicates with GPS library. When the application is launched, call a function in the library which opens the socket, and on onDestroy() call another method, which destroys the socket connection. But this also suffers from resource problem since the so it is a process in memory. Please suggest a method to overcome this problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If you put the time in and your ready to go, just deploy it. Never mind what the rest are doing, you'll never get the market experience you need without deploying it. On the other hand, initial impact is very important. It's the brief chance to really catch on before you sink into the swamp and disappear forever.

Hi, android is supporting javax.xml.xpath.XPath in api level 8 ie 2.2 But i am writing some application for 2.0.1 in that there is a need for XPath parser. I downloaded jar file from findjar.com But when i added the jar file to my application i got the following build error trouble processing javax/xml/XMLConstants.class: [2010-12-21 15:49:59 - Client] Attempt to include a core class (java.* or javax.*) in something other than a core library. It is likely that you have attempted to include in an application the core library (or a part thereof) from a desktop virtual machine. This will most assuredly not work. At a minimum, it jeopardizes the compatibility of your app with future versions of the platform. It is also often of questionable legality. If you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate as part of creating a full virtual machine distribution, as opposed to compiling an application -- then use the --core-library option to suppress this error message. If you go ahead and use --core-library but are in fact building an application, then be forewarned that your application will still fail to build or run, at some point. Please be prepared for angry customers who find, for example, that your application ceases to function once they upgrade their operating system. You will be to blame for this problem. If you are legitimately using some code that happens to be in a core package, then the easiest safe alternative you have is to repackage that code. That is, move the classes in question into your own package namespace. This means that they will never be in conflict with core system classes. If you find that you cannot do this, then that is an indication that the path you are on will ultimately lead to pain, suffering, grief, and lamentation.

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
ähm, actually, i do not have an (external) SD Card. The phone has 8 GB on its own, so no need for a card.

Re: [android-developers] onDestroy() and finish()
Odds are, ESTaskManager is incorrect. This is pretty typical for these sorts of apps. Android caches processes, and whatever APIs these apps (and DDMS) are using report the application that last ran in that process, even if that application has no active components. In other words, do not worry about it, unless you come up with stronger proof that something is amiss in your app. On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 9:54 AM, André pha...@hotmail.com wrote: I was using just this.finish(); in my app when exiting my app. But using ESTaskManager after closing my app I found that it's still running in the background.

[android-developers] Re: Cost effectiveness of JSON in Android
Thanks Brill. I will take this into consideration. On Dec 21, 12:42 am, Brill Pappin br...@pappin.ca wrote: I wouldn't be too hasty about removing the JSON. XML will cost you more in terms of resources and connecting directly to a database is likely also going to be more costly (although without seeing the actual implementation, I can't be sure of that). JSON is actually about as perfect as it gets for mobile devices... you could only get better by implementing your own protocol and even then your likely not going to save much. Also note that connecting directly to the database means that the database is exposed on the net in general and will present security problems. Although databases have security, they are not designed to ward off all the worms that are constantly probing a public address looking for a weak spot. You can deploy something like MongoDB (which presents it's data as JSON anyway) but it's not recommended. However, after rereading your post, I think you are attempting to put a web service between your app and the database. This is exactly how the rest of us will be doing it, but you don't need to get rid of JSON, in fact JSON is what 90% of the apps in the market will be using. If your asking how you build that web service, I recommend Jersey REST API as a good place to start. There are plenty of other frameworks out there for doing it though, so find one you like. - Brill Pappin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Prevent an Android Service from getting destroyed after an unbind
Hi,
I just tested the start bind service approach and found some really weird
stuff going on in the logcat output. Here's what I tried:
Step1: the main activity A is launched.
Step2: A's *onCreate* method attempts to connect with service S (launched in
a separate process private to the activity) in the following way:
1. Reads the SharedPreferences to determine if S is already started
(using a boolean flag)
2. If S is not started, invokes *startService* with intent I (*new
Intent(this, MyService.class)*)
- Also sets the flag in SharedPreferences to indicate service started
3. Calls *bindService(intent, this, 0)* with the same intent I. This step
is always executed irrespective of whether S was started or not in 2.
Step3: activity A also implements the ServiceConnection interface and it
logs the output on service connected/disconnected callbacks.
Now, when I execute these steps in the emulator (v2.2 API level 8), I see
the following logcat output (note that all of it is generated as a result of
executing A's *onCreate* method only):

Re: [android-developers] Re: Prevent an Android Service from getting destroyed after an unbind
Kalyan,
It should not be necessary to keep track of service state on your own.
You can call startService just in case, and then have the service call
stopSelf when *it* knows it's done. StartService calls do not nest,
that's made clear in the docs.
Now for binding - are you returning a binder from your service's
onBind() method? I believe when you create a Service using wizards in
Eclipse, the default implementation returns null, which would explain
what you are seeing.
Also, make sure you're not calling unBindService until it's time to do so.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Prevent an Android Service from getting destroyed after an unbind
Thank you for the reply.
I'm indeed returning a valid IBinder inside the service's onBind method.
Here it is:
public class MyService extends IntentService {
private Messenger myMessenger;
// Service Constructor
public MyService() {
super(MyService);
*myMessenger = new Messenger(new MyServiceHandler(this))*;
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
Log.i(APP_TAG, Inside service onBind);
return *myMessenger.getBinder()*;
}
// other methods...
}
Moreover I ensured that my activity calls the *unbindService()* method only
from inside its *onDestroy()* method and no where else. This is exactly
what's been puzzling me as to why android still decides to unbind kill the
service even if the activity that spawned it is still alive in the first
place.
Am I missing something here ?? Any pointers ???

[android-developers] Re: Prevent an Android Service from getting destroyed after an unbind
If i remeber correctly, the 'relevance' of the service is as high as
the activity with the highest 'relevance' that is bound to it. With
'relevance' i mean the importance of the activity/service that Android
OS uses to determine if it can be killed by the OS or not.
In your case, only *your* activity is bound to it. When your activity
is in the foreground, it has the highest 'relevance'. Since it's bound
to your service, the service has the highest relevance as well.
Android OS will not kill either your activity or your service.
When your activity goes to the background (onPause, onStop), your
activity gets a lower relevance and maybe considered for killing when
necessary. Since it is the only activity still bound to your service,
your service's relevance gets lower as well and it may be considered
for killing by the OS. This is probably what happens; the OS
disconnects and kills your service.
When your service is killed but not your activity (which is still
paused/stopped), you should get a callback in your bind-request
callback-handler of this event (disconnect event).
When you activity goes to the foreground again (onResume), your
service should be restarted (and your bind-request callback-handler
will be notified of this re-connect event as well).

[android-developers] Android Referral Tracking not working
I am attempting to get Android Referral tracking to work. I am
following the only documentation I have found here
http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/#referrals
I have the following in my android manifest file
receiver
android:name=com.google.android.apps.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver
android:exported=true
intent-filter
action android:name=com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER /
/intent-filter
/receiver
receiver android:name=com.package.Receiver android:exported=true
intent-filter
action android:name=com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER /
/intent-filter
/receiver
uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=4/
com.package.Receiver starts with:
public void onReceive(Context paramContext, Intent paramIntent) {
String str1 = paramIntent.getStringExtra(referrer);
Log.i(myapp, action: ' + paramIntent.getAction() + '
referrer string: ' + str1 + ');
Also with a little bit of decompiling
com.google.android.apps.analytics.AnalyticsReceiver has the following
code in it:
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent)
/* */ {
/* 24 */ String referrer = intent.getStringExtra(referrer);
/* */
/* 26 */ if ((!
(com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER.equals(intent.getAction(
|| (referrer == null))
/* */ {
/* 28 */ return;
/* */ }
/* */
/* 31 */ String formattedReferrer = formatReferrer(referrer);
/* */
/* 33 */ if (formattedReferrer != null) {
/* 34 */ PersistentEventStore store = new
PersistentEventStore(ctx);
/* 35 */ store.setReferrer(formattedReferrer);
/* 36 */ Log.d(googleanalytics, new
StringBuilder().append(Stored
referrer:).append(formattedReferrer).toString());
/* */ } else {
/* 38 */ Log.w(googleanalytics, Badly formatted referrer,
ignored);
/* */ }
/* */ }
Note the two lines 36 and 38 that Log googleanalytics
I have tried pushing the above app to the market, downloading it on my
Nexus One (after uninstalling a previous version of the app). I have
generated a link using the google page I linked to at the beginning of
this post
http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.package.appreferrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dcpc%26utm_term%3Drunning%252Bshoes%26utm_content%3Dcontent1%26utm_campaign%3Dslogan
I attached logcat to my Nexus One while I download the app, I do not
see any logs from googleanalytics or myapp. The rest of the google
analytics library does work for my app. I.E. I see records on google
analytics about pages hits etc. However all the traffic sources are
Direct Traffic. I am at a loss as to what is going on. Does anyone
have any insight into what I might be doing wrong?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Prevent an Android Service from getting destroyed after an unbind
What happens if you move start/bind to onStart of your activity?
Also, in my code I do it in the reverse order: bind first, then the binding
is established, finally startService when about to tell it to do something
in the background.

[android-developers] Re: Proguard problem after 2.3 update
I just update SDK to 2.3 and I'm facing the same problem here. I don't
use Eclipse, only ant to build my project. This is a list of
everything you recommend to do, and that I did:
1. Added key.store and key.alias to local.properties
2. Updated the project with android update project --path .
3. Added proguard.dir to local.properties with the path of the
proguard lib that came with the SDK (.../android_sdk/tools/proguard)
4. Added proguard.config=proguard.cfg to default.properties
I'm getting the same error: Problem: failed to create task or type
proguard.
Any ideas?

No I didn't do anything to Eclipse and looking at the Ant section it

What I haven't had time to try yet was a build from the console. Also
commenting out the proguard config in the default.properties did turn
off Proguard on the Export either as I wanted a build without it to
more easily track down a bug. Another thing I did do was rename my
Android SDK folder as it was ancient and I thought perhaps characters
in the path may have caused a problem. However I don't think that in
itself fixed the problem.

Did you update the ant plugin for Eclipse to 1.8.1? I know the current

Or did you just install apache ant to your system? Did you have to
change the Ant preferences in Eclipse to point to your 1.8.1
installation?
Also, did you have to add -ignorewarning to your proguard.cfg to get
it to complete the Proguard phase?

For those following this Android sneaked in an instruction that to

need ant 1.8 or better (Ubuntu 10.04 comes with 1.7.1). Now that may
be the source of the parsing problem as soon as I figure out how this
apache-ant 1.8.1 install works. So far by instructions given it
isn't. Big problem with open source development is good developers
lousy docs. IT people probably shake their heads but we programmers
don't do these things everyday so concise and clear docs are
necessary. Development isn't supposed to be an adventure game.

I'm now thinking the previous error:
add-proguard-release.xml:35: Expecting class path separator ':' before

is the problem which somehow messes up it finding proguard if I
surround the path with quotes though it does away with this error.
The path has no spaces so quotes shouldn't be necessary and they
weren't needed before the 2.3 update. And I tried it pointing to the
Proguard installation previously used and also with the installation
that came with the 2.3 update.
As for Eclipse it doesn't seem to be running it through Proguard when
generating a signed release as it's not shrinking the size and the obf
folder is not getting updated unless it is putting one in some
undocumented location. I tried the signed release yesterday thinking
an option for Proguard might be the but saw none. In fact I see none
whatsoever in the Properties.

Can you use jini to talk to the native code? - Brill On Dec 21, 3:08 am, Webgenius webgenius.co...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I am working on a GPS library which needs to interact directly with an application. I am not supposed to change any framework code. Hence I have managed to implement this solution using sockets. The GPS library creates a new detached thread on startup, which opens up a socket. The application also connects to the same socket on onCreate() method. However the problem is that this setup uses a lot of resources, and I am looking for a way to solve this problem. I am looking for a design which will create both the client and server sockets on application startup, and destroy the same when the application quits. To make this happen, I have thought of one approach: Implement JNI in the vendor directory and create a so, that will be loaded, and this communicates with GPS library. When the application is launched, call a function in the library which opens the socket, and on onDestroy() call another method, which destroys the socket connection. But this also suffers from resource problem since the so it is a process in memory.

[android-developers] Re: Game pretty much like mine
The initial reaction is usually that if it's out there already, that's a bad thing. Here's a few basic things to remember: 1. If you are the first, that is always a big bonus. Being first helps you win because you can get your app embedded into people's minds. You want to be first. But it can't always happen of course. 2. If you are not first, it's not always oh crap waste of time. The good thing about competition is it shows that there is a market for the app. So just make your app better then theirs, more polished, more fun, etc. Whatever it takes. Try to read the comments of the other app, try to figure out the target market they have and increase it for yours. -niko On Dec 21, 3:09 am, Pent tas...@dinglisch.net wrote: If you put the time in and your ready to go, just deploy it.

[android-developers] Re: Proguard problem after 2.3 update
I was successful with Eclipse in getting a build but it is hard to say
why. I still can't do a Proguard build from a command line and what
it looks like is for some reason the script has a hard time finding
the Proguard jar. Tried all kinds of combinations and none worked. I
am pointing to the recommended 1.8.1 ant in my ANT_HOME path though
Eclipse seems to be using the built-in 1.7.1 ant successfully. There
are many variables with this 2.3 SDK release that need to be sorted
out. Are problems with the Eclipse build due to not running Eclispe
Classic as I'm running Galileo and if so why? We really would like to
hear the reasons for such changes.

No I didn't do anything to Eclipse and looking at the Ant section it

What I haven't had time to try yet was a build from the console. Also
commenting out the proguard config in the default.properties did turn
off Proguard on the Export either as I wanted a build without it to
more easily track down a bug. Another thing I did do was rename my
Android SDK folder as it was ancient and I thought perhaps characters
in the path may have caused a problem. However I don't think that in
itself fixed the problem.

Did you update the ant plugin for Eclipse to 1.8.1? I know the current

Or did you just install apache ant to your system? Did you have to
change the Ant preferences in Eclipse to point to your 1.8.1
installation?
Also, did you have to add -ignorewarning to your proguard.cfg to get
it to complete the Proguard phase?

The other problem which I see others posted on this group is LVL isn't

the signed obfuscated app on an emulator on another machine and the

For those following this Android sneaked in an instruction that to

need ant 1.8 or better (Ubuntu 10.04 comes with 1.7.1). Now that may
be the source of the parsing problem as soon as I figure out how this

[android-developers] Re: Your apps
Instead of just jumping into a project, you should plan what you want your app to do and what features you want to give it. Write it out on paper. Flesh out all the details. Learn the basics of programming because a game engine will only get you so far. Start simple and build from there. Also please don't release an app until its ready. Its not about being perfect, it about being functional. Make sure you test it as throughly as possible. There are already too many poorly written apps on the market. Spend the time to learn how to write a good solid app. If you release a bad, unfinished, unpolished app, it tarnishes anything you release later.

Hello All, I've been trying to research how to code the techniques talked about by Virgil Dobjanschi in his Google I/O talk here: http://www.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/developing-RESTful-android-apps.html My specific source of confusion is how to set up the ResultReceiver to basically wire up a callback. Its been suggested to use ResultReceiver, however many of the examples that I see seem to use ResultReceiver as an interface. However, I'm finding that this is really a class. Has there been a change with this class? A specific example that comes close to what I think I want to do is on StackOverflow at the link below: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3197335/android-restful-api-service Does anyone have any thoughts on how to wire this up.
