Re: [android-developers] making Toast like notification?

A Dialog is not in any way shape or form a new activity.

If you are saying that you want to display this toast-like thing when the
user isn't actually in your app...   well, that is what a toast is for, and
you will need to live with its restrictions (which are kind-of intentional
because doing this kind of thing to the user when they are not in your app
can quickly become annoying for them).

[android-developers] How to differentiate when screen is rotated and when is activity is sent back ( pressing back key)

2010-12-31 Thread mani

I am confused between screen rotation and activity sent back.

My requirement i am trying out in my application is

- when activity goes to idle( meant pressing back ) , i need to stop a
timer.
- When screen rotation happens i shouldnt stop a timer.

I also registered for action_configuration_changed to know when the
screen rotation happens.

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED);
mContext.registerReceiver(mBroadcastReceiver, filter);

private BroadcastReceiver mBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (Intent.ACTION_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED.equals(action)) {
//updateBackground();
screeChanged = true;
System.out.println(On screen changed);
}
}
};


When i traced the flow, when back happens this is wat i observed.

Screen rotated from landscape to portrait

I/System.out( 1666): On stop
I/System.out( 1666): On Destroy
I/System.out( 1666): On create
I/System.out( 1666): On resume
I/System.out( 1666): On screen changed

Screen rotated from portrait to landscape

I/System.out( 1666): On pause
I/System.out( 1666): On stop
I/System.out( 1666): On Destroy
I/System.out( 1666): On create
I/System.out( 1666): On resume
I/System.out( 1666): On screen changed

When back pressed:
--
I/System.out( 1666): On pause
I/System.out( 1666): On stop
I/System.out( 1666): On Destroy


All these function calls are similar for both usecase... so any clue
how do i differentiate my activity is went back or screen changed.

Could somebody throw lights on my problem.

Thanks,
Mani

Just carry on from my example: an LL within a top LL then try and add
the third one, its a mystery where it drops! OK lets move on, add
another LL with Horizontal orientation because we will be creating a
row of small buttons, I need to add about 70 small buttons so about 7
rows of 10 buttons each (use table row? thats not the point wait) OK,
so I SUCCESSFULLY dragged and dropped 7 of my buttons which I have
managed to drop into the top LL. Guess what? The 7 of them were just
plain buttons with background images now have their titles back!

Do I have to use image buttons?

Why the heck then a button has a background? Jesus get a grip Android,
go and play with Interface Builder (do not even try and accuse me of

This post [http://digital-identity.dk/2010/12/protecting-ip-in-android-

implementing a portion of (sensitive) code natively. And then to

How effective will this prove to be?

Re: [android-developers] Re: app security

Ultimately there is no good answer here.  No matter what you do, you can't
totally protect anything in your application.  Your entire application is
out in the world, where anyone can get at its contents, and with sufficient
effort learn every deepest darkest secret it contains.

The question you have to ask yourself is, how difficult does it need to be
for someone to get at whatever you are concerned about?  You can't make it
impossible.  You can make it easy or various levels of harder.  Moving to
native code gives you more tools for making it harder, but is never going to
be a panacea.  How much time are you willing to spend on this vs. how much
harder you will make it?  You are quickly going to find yourself reaching a
point of diminishing returns where a large amount of effort moves the
harder to extract needle only a little bit.

[android-developers] Get MediaScanner current status

2010-12-31 Thread mrAlmond

Dear all,

My Android application has a broadcast receiver that receives
mediascanner start and finished intents.
Now I'd like to know if it's also possible to do a syncronous request
to the mediascanner to know its current status (if it's still scanning
or not).
I need this because if my application starts during a scan I cannot
know the mediascanner status until I receive one of the two intents.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

mrA

[android-developers] Recommended way to update map overlay in background

2010-12-31 Thread AC

I'm working on an application with a number of activities, including a
MapViewActivity. The map has markers drawn on it as overlays. The
marker data is retrieved by regularly polling a web server, which
returns a JSON document. The data can change from time to time, and
when it does the map must be updated promptly.

What's the recommended way to poll the web server in the background
and update the map? I considered using a service, but ran into
problems with accessing the map overlays variables. The other approach
which springs to mind is to user a TimerTask (maybe calling an
AsyncTask if necessary to avoid blocking the UI thread) from the
MapViewActivity.

Another consideration is that it would be nice to continue polling
when in other activities within the same application. This way when
the user switches to the map activity, the map is already up to date.
This is not a hard requirement though.

Thoughts?

Moreover, you also have to ask yourself how much effort is needed for

In this case you'd probably need that Service, binding to it as necessary

That's a good idea! I could download and store the marker data in the
service, then have the MapViewActivity bind to it when the user
switches to the map activity to access the marker data.

[android-developers] How to get screen density in pixels-per-inch or equivalent

2010-12-31 Thread Phil Endecott

Hi All,

Imagine trying to display an accurate ruler on the screen, or
something like that.  I'd like to know the screen's pixel density in
pixels-per-inch, or equivalently its dimensions in mm and resolution
in pixels, so that I know the accurate physical size of the thing that
I'm drawing.  Is there any way to get this info?

Failing that, I'm aware that the system knows the approximate density
(one of three values IIRC).  How can I retrieve this programatically?


Thanks,  Phil.

Phil,

This has both rounded (mdpi, ldpi, etc.) values and actual resolution, 
that you'd want to use for a ruler:


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html

Note that some devices don't correctly report actual resolution (xdpi / 
ydpi).


Canvas also has density available:

[android-developers] Taking pictures

Hi,

could anyone propose good approach for following:

I would need to have feature in my (simple) app of taking pictures and
tagging them with some values.

Do I need to implement all of the camera code in my app,  or can I call some
default camera app and
have data from it?

What would be best approach?
I don't want to make better/different or whatever app for pictures so this
isn't my field of interest, just want
to have pictures taken and tagged, of course it has to work on most of
phones.


Case scenario:

- user activates app
- button take picture
 if user takes picture use it with tag

- button create text tag
 input some text

- button save it
 save it to database


Thanks for help.

If the crux of your problem is using the Yahoo API, you should ask your
question on a forum dedicated to the Yahoo API.

If the crux of your problem is specifically related to Android, please

[android-developers] Re: Google analytics crash

2010-12-31 Thread H

You could stick a try/catch block in, but I doubt it would catch *most* of 
the bugs. Remember that your request for a track simply gets added to the 
database at that point and then some time later the dispatcher picks 
requests up from the database and sends them (although if you ask it to 
dispatch immediately you might catch them, but due to the use of handlers, I 
still doubt it). So your try/catch in your code would only catch errors from 
the first part and not the second.

From the ACRA reporting in my app for the previous release of the analytics, 
the vast majority of my errors were coming from the latter part of the 
process where it was trying to read back from the database or failed during 
the sending part or failed when removing entries from the database.

The analytics team did state they fixed a load of bugs in this latest 
release. I don't know if it's against the rules or not, but I decompiled the 
latest release and built it natively into my app and that allowed me to 
stick in a sprinkling of my own try/catch clauses around spots that I 
thought looked tetchy. I haven't released this yet..

[android-developers] Writing a Date/Time Service

2010-12-31 Thread asinha

I am trying to write a service which runs as background process and
invoke my task (in application) at 9am everyday.

My service is:

public class DateService extends Service {

//expressed in milliseconds
private final long ONCE_PER_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
private final int ONE_DAY = 1;
private final int NINE_AM = 9;
private final int ZERO_MINUTES = 0;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
Thread thr = new Thread(null, mTask, DateService);
thr.start();
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
}


Runnable mTask = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
TimerTask myTask  = new MyTask();

//perform the task once a day at 9 a.m., starting tomorrow
morning
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(myTask, getTomorrowMorning9am(),
ONCE_PER_DAY);

// Done with our work...  stop the service!
DateService.this.stopSelf();
}
};

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


private final IBinder mBinder = new Binder() {
@Override
protected boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel
reply,
int flags) throws RemoteException {
return super.onTransact(code, data, reply, flags);
}
};

private Date getTomorrowMorning9am() {
Calendar tomorrow = new GregorianCalendar();
tomorrow.add(Calendar.DATE, ONE_DAY);
Calendar result = new GregorianCalendar(
  tomorrow.get(Calendar.YEAR),
  tomorrow.get(Calendar.MONTH),
  tomorrow.get(Calendar.DATE),
  NINE_AM,
  ZERO_MINUTES
);
return result.getTime();
}

}

Is this the right way to write my service? How would I verify my
service?

[android-developers] Best way to resize photo

2010-12-31 Thread Doug Gordon

Among other things, my app displays photos in an ImageView in a popup 
Dialog. These images come out of a database that is created on the 
user's PC. Before storing them in the database, I resize them for max 
dimensions of 320x320 pixels.


So, in almost all cases, on the Android device I simply display the 
photos at their natural dimension, which fits nicely on almost all 
screens. However, I have at least one customer with an HTC Wildfire 
which, even though its screen is 3.2, has only QVGA dimensions 
(240x320). With my current code, the photos do seem to be resized by the 
system to display within the screen boundaries, but the rest of the 
views in the dialog (caption, buttons, etc.) get pushed off the screen 
and are not visible or usable.


Obviously I need to handle this case by setting some specific dimensions 
on the ImageView when running on a QVGA device, but what is the best 
approach? Should I use DisplayMetrics to discover the dimensions and 
adjust accordingly? This would work, but seems like it might be too 
low-level of an approach. Could I put dimension the image in the XML in 
some way using dips?


(By the way, it's interesting that Android considers this class of 
display to be a small screen for Manifest purposes, but at 3.2 it's 
not physically all that smaller than a lot of other devices with higher 
res.)

[android-developers] Virtual Keyboard covers EditText

2010-12-31 Thread Nasir

Hey guys,

I've stuck in a BIG problem in my Android application. I've an
ListActivity and at bottom of ListView I've and EditBox. Whenever user
clicks on EditBox, Virtual keyboard appears covering EditBox and user
is not able to view what he is typing.

I've read lots of posts to resolve this problem but couldn't find its
solution, reading 
http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/on-screen-inputs.html
couldn't resolve my problem.

In my manifest file, I've used
android:windowSoftInputMode=stateVisible|adjustResize for
ListActivity as well.

You help is much appreciated!!

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Google analytics crash

2010-12-31 Thread blindfold

You may be right, although the crash reports that I have all suggest
that they were triggered from direct calls to
GoogleAnalyticsTracker.trackEvent() in my code leading to
java.lang.IllegalStateException: no transaction pending. Judiciously
sprinkling try-catch blocks is a great way to further uglify source
code, so maybe I'll just live with the occasional crashes until Google
fixes the problem, given that thus far only 3 out of 5000 app runs
gave me crashes.

Thanks

 You could stick a try/catch block in, but I doubt it would catch *most* of
 the bugs. Remember that your request for a track simply gets added to the
 database at that point and then some time later the dispatcher picks
 requests up from the database and sends them (although if you ask it to
 dispatch immediately you might catch them, but due to the use of handlers, I
 still doubt it). So your try/catch in your code would only catch errors from
 the first part and not the second.

 From the ACRA reporting in my app for the previous release of the analytics,
 the vast majority of my errors were coming from the latter part of the
 process where it was trying to read back from the database or failed during
 the sending part or failed when removing entries from the database.

 The analytics team did state they fixed a load of bugs in this latest
 release. I don't know if it's against the rules or not, but I decompiled the
 latest release and built it natively into my app and that allowed me to
 stick in a sprinkling of my own try/catch clauses around spots that I
 thought looked tetchy. I haven't released this yet..

[android-developers] Re: Google analytics crash

2010-12-31 Thread H

Looking in the analytics source after you've called trackEvent(), I suspect 
that error is coming out when it is using a database transaction to insert 
the event into the database. Once inserted, it calls endTransaction as well 
as setTransactionSuccessful. Both of these do this check:

if (!mLock.isHeldByCurrentThread()) {
throw new IllegalStateException(no transaction pending);
}

So it could be worth checking to see if you are tracking the event from a 
thread that has ended, or calling dispatch from a different thread...?

HTH.

[android-developers] Re: the new eclipse UI design - absolute frustration and waste of time

2010-12-31 Thread Bob Kerns

Just to clarify -- I'm NOT saying the current state doesn't have huge
usability problems! (And so did the previous state).

I'm only disagreeing with the sentiment that real programmers only
want to use the XML, and ignore the GUI. Even now, when it works
right (and I can figure out how to use it), it's a time savings.

When it's not, I end up reformatting and fixing the XML.

My point is, it's quite worth the Android teams' time improving this.
It's NOT just newbies who don't understand the XML who will benefit.

In fact, I think it would be a good goal to make the UI expose the
functionality so clearly, usably, completely, and unambiguously that
knowing the XML offers no benefit to the real developer (unless
you're writing automated transformations on it).

2010-12-31 Thread blindfold

Hmm, I have only one global tracker object that I create in the
onCreate() of my main activity, and with a regular dispatch interval
through the format tracker.start(UA-12345-0, nseconds, this), so I'd
say that it all works from one alive thread. However, in one pair of
crash logs the first GoogleAnalyticsTracker.trackEvent() crash occurs
after my app had been running for some time, while the second
GoogleAnalyticsTracker.trackEvent() crash occurs immediately at app
startup only 3 minutes later, for the same device FINGERPRINT,
suggesting that indeed some sort of lock had lived on even across runs
to cause a second crash because the second run would not be owning the
lingering lock. This was for a Samsung GT-I5800 running Android 2.1-
update1.

The likelihood of finding code examples that perfectly solve the particular

However, this is a pretty simple layout. Looks a like a two-row, two-column

Re: [android-developers] Re: the new eclipse UI design - absolute frustration and waste of time

I've used the NetBeans and MyEclipse GUI editors extensively.  They are very
nice.
The Android thing in Eclipse is pretty much a waste of time.  Bizarre things
happen when you try to drag controls or layouts in.  Items end up in totally
unexpected places, with attributes that you can't seem to control.  The huge
properties menu isn't very helpful either.

After just a few minutes of attempting to use the GUI editor, I gave up and
just edited the XML directly.  Much easier, quicker, and with better control
of what you get.  I don't even bother previewing my layouts with the GUI
editor, as it frequently leaves out controls entirely.

[android-developers] Re: disappearing USB functionality with Nexus S and Vista

 My Nexus One USB functionality continues to work.  When my Nexus One

 Android Composite ADB Interface/Properties/Driver shows driver date
 12/6/2010 and driver version 4.0.0.0.  However, when the Nexus S is
 connected to the laptop, the laptop's Device Manager does not list an
 Android Phone and the connected Nexus S is not detected as new
 hardware.

 On the Nexus S, I've tried a Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset.
 I've even exchanged Nexus S phones.  The USB connection lasted about
 five days on the first Nexus S phone and two days on the second.  I
 have a gyroscope sensor application I'd like to write and I'm pretty
 sure that BestBuy wouldn't be too keen on the idea of switching phones
 every week.  Anyone have any tips or insight about the Nexus S USB
 connection?

Does a reboot not fix it BTW ?

Works every time here, real pain though.

Annoyingly, as soon as I select reboot from the normal dialog, the USB

2010-12-31 Thread greg

Thanks for the reply.

Once the Nexus S USB connection stopped working, I have not been able
to revive it.  I have tried

- rebooting my laptop (running Vista),
- performing a Factory reset on the Nexus S,
- uninstalling and installing the Google USB driver (version 4.0), and
- fiddling with Nexus S Settings that have anything to do with USB
(i.e., USB debugging, Erase USB storage, USB tethering).

My Nexus One USB connection continues to work with the same laptop.

[android-developers] Screen Rotation

2010-12-31 Thread Robert

I have an application that I am trying to stop the automatic restart
when the screen is rotated.  I put android:configChanges=orientation|
keyboardHidden into the Manifest (copied below) but the screen still
rotates and the OnCreate is called (verified by writing to the log in
OnCreate).   Have I missed something else that is required to stop
this default action?

The reason I want to do this is that the app is accessing a webserver
via an AsyncTask and I'd like to stop the restart until I can figure
out how to link the background task to the new pid that is created.
I've read some pages on it but not yet clear how to do that.

Sorry for maybe some terminology that isn't correct. Hopefully the
issue is clear though.   Thanks for any pointers to information that
may help.

Robert

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I tried the same cable.

I just discovered that removing the Nexus S battery for about a minute
is enough to restore the USB functionality.  (Compared to swapping
phones at BestBuy, removing the battery is a great convenience. :*)

 You can change these settings from an application - just need right the

 See Settings.System:

 Starting with:

 If using static IP, the primary DNS's IP address.

 Constant Value: wifi_static_dns1


 and up through

 public static final String WIFI_USE_STATIC_IP
 Since: API Level 1

 Whether to use static IP and other static network attributes.

 Set to 1 for true and 0 for false.

 However, if past is of any indication, any of these can be moved to

Is is very interesting that intent doesn't return any path or similar for

There is no info  ,and believe me I've searched for , that feature like that

Of all the things I think getting path of taken picture whould be most

 I think you'd get a lot more value from the work you put into the API

 Also, I'd concur with the recent comment, but not the tone, that a lot
 of the API demo classes are quite poorly named. Even if you know that
 there IS an API demo for what you want to find, it can quite difficult

 Think of it as, the API demos could use a bit more product marketing

 Giving your file that should hold an image a .tmp extension is

 Why? I would like to store it in database.


 Because .tmp is not an image format I'm aware of.

 Never said that you have to save file with image extension. Why would you
have to do that? Does system checks file extensions?






 Besides that, a Google Search for ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE shows some promise
 ...

 Done it already and didn't find anything that could resolve this problem.


 Then you found this first hit and tried both alternate URIs?

Yea I saw that.


Thanks for helping.

I very much doubt you did.  The IME currently can only be on the bottom.

[android-developers] Re: making Toast like notification?

2010-12-31 Thread Emmanuel

I did make a blog entry on the toast customisation subject :
http://androidblogger.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-how-to-customize-your-toasts.html
So you can modify the look of the toast !

But I do agree with you that the toast is not fulfilling all of our
needs, I also though about reimplementing something like a toast.
Actually the bigger issue I have with the current toast is that you
can't control acurately the amount of time it is shown, and you can't
discard them.

I used them in my Word Prospector game to give feedback to the
player when they are doing right or wrong, and if the player tends to
play very fast, the toasts accumulate, and are shown out of the
correct context : ie the feedback is not fired for the latest player
action. They can even be fired when the player is no more in the game.

 I don't I wise very clear... I'm trying to create something
 completely customizable interms of animation, duration...etc where in the
 Toast widget duration can only be set to 2 constant and therefor its not
 changeable and the animation part is also not changeable since the animation
 is set via the window of the toast not the view so if I try setting an
 animation on my custom view it just get overridden.

 So what I'm really asking is it possible create a completely transient
 notifications(not user interactive) without using toast and please don't
 tell me create a dialog since thats not what I want, a dialog needs a new
 activity which interrupts what ever the user is doing... I want to notify
 the user without having to stop what ever their is doing in a different
 activity and ofcourse without using the notification bar.

 thanks,

I don't know, but if you're trying to save an image to a file, you might as
well make sure you have a reasonable extension for the file type. Probably
won't make a different, but who knows.
