This is often a fair amount of work, and means desired features or bug fixes can't be done, so sometimes it is slow going. If it is something you feel strongly about, many app developers would probably be happy to review contributions.

Actually, I find the huge properties menu to be an improvement over the old properties view (which is still available, BTW). The Attributes you can't seem to control thing is definitely a problem.

So I'm trying out making a live wallpaper and I'm using the sample

I wanted to use this code to get the height/width of the display
@Override
public void onCreate(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
super.onCreate(surfaceHolder);
Rect frame = getSurfaceHolder().getSurfaceFrame();
float width = frame.width();
float height = frame.height();
// By default, we don't get touch events, so enable them.
setTouchEventsEnabled(true);
}
Unfortunately, when I run this code, the width and height return as 0,
though if I put this in onVisibilityChanged, the correct values are
returned, why is this and is it suitable to move the code to
onVisibilityChanged?

[android-developers] Re: app security
This isn't really an Android issue. Anyone who gives out credentials for any purpose needs to consider that they may be compromised. The usual ways of dealing with it are to time-limit them, and to allow them to be revoked. But what I think REALLY should be done, is to issue credentials with two components, one revocable by the issuer, and one revocable by the recipient. So, on losing your phone, you go to a website, and invalidate all the credentials that were associated with the phone. This wouldn't deny you access, just force you to go through the re- credentialing process for each affected entity, using a reissued token. You could see extending this to three components, so a company with accounts with Salesforce.com and similar things, could revoke access for a terminated employee, for example. In this case, the access token would not be reissued.

[android-developers] Re: Virtual screen size
Let me develop on this subject: I've develop a Live Wallpaper that was working perfectly in Android 2.1. It emulate the standard Android wallpaper by having a bitmap scrolling when a user changes screen. To achieve that effect I use the event onOffsetsChanged to detect screen changes when the user swipes left and right. I just installed Android 2.2.1 and now the values returned in onOffsetsChanged for xPixelOffset and yPixelOffset are always 0. The value for xOffset and yOffset do return values from 0 to 1 but because WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() and WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() now return the screen physical size instead of the screen virtual size, I have now way to calculate how much that percentage represent in terms of actual displacement. I know it's possible to achieve the desired result because the packed wallpaper has that behaviour. Can somebody help? Is this a problem with Samsung Galaxy S implementation or is this a standard behaviour?

[android-developers] Which Intent flag should I use?
This is part of my ongoing effort to tidy up my AppWidget code: When a user clicks on my Widget, it goes to an Activity deep in my app. When the user finishes this activity, I'd like to exit back to the Launcher as opposed to whatever the last Activity on the stack is for my app. Is there an Intent flag I am not using correctly? I tried all the ones I could see to be relevant, but nothing worked. I know I could probably pass result codes back up the stack to wind down my app, but that's some ugly stuff. Is there an easier way? Happy New Year everyone! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Which Intent flag should I use?
Do you really want this to be deep in your app? If you want finishing to go back to the launcher, it sounds like this should be done as a separate task than the main app task. If that is the case, don't use special Intent flags, just set android:taskAffinity= for this activity. (Or give it a scoped name for the affinity if multiple activities are going to inter-operate in the same task.)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Virtual screen size
It is up to the launcher to decide how much parallax scrolling to do. The sizes and offsets come from whatever the last launcher app set them to be. On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 9:42 PM, Pedro Duque pmdu...@gmail.com wrote: Let me develop on this subject: I've develop a Live Wallpaper that was working perfectly in Android 2.1. It emulate the standard Android wallpaper by having a bitmap scrolling when a user changes screen. To achieve that effect I use the event onOffsetsChanged to detect screen changes when the user swipes left and right. I just installed Android 2.2.1 and now the values returned in onOffsetsChanged for xPixelOffset and yPixelOffset are always 0. The value for xOffset and yOffset do return values from 0 to 1 but because WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() and WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() now return the screen physical size instead of the screen virtual size, I have now way to calculate how much that percentage represent in terms of actual displacement. I know it's possible to achieve the desired result because the packed wallpaper has that behaviour. Can somebody help? Is this a problem with Samsung Galaxy S implementation or is this a standard behaviour?

[android-developers] Reusing BitmapDrawable objects
I have custom skinned buttons. I set the bitmaps for the button backgrounds using the addState method of the StateListDrawable class and pass in a BitmapDrawable which is loaded from a file on the SD card. Now I am having out of memory issues, so I thought that I would try and cache the BitmapDrawable and reuse them for all the buttons on a page, rather than creating a new one for each button. However, when I do this, the buttons don't display correctly. For example if I have two buttons of different sizes, the background is drawn at the same size for both, rather than have each scale. Also, if one button on the page is hidden, then the backgrounds for some of the other (still visible) buttons disappear. This does not happen if I create separate BitmapDrawable objects for each of the buttons. My question is, am I supposed to be able to reuse these objects in this manner? If not, how can I keep from duplicating the memory required to skin each button on a page?

[android-developers] is there any htc mototola specific emulator to test apps?
Hello We test our apps on usual emulator samsung galaxy 3. What we have observed that - our apps work fine on both of these. But got review from some users that the apps don't work on HTC evo/desire in some cases Droid X. Question - 1. If app works perfectly on one phone, why does it not work on other having same OS version? 2. Is there any emulator to test apps specifically for HTC Motorola. So that we can ensure before launching that the app works well on those phones.
