Re: [android-developers] Gingerbread BroadcastReceiver Issue
Yes then it will restart. You may want to have a look at the log when it goes away to see if anything interesting is printed. Also adb shell dumpsys activity services well tell you the state of currently active services (even if their process isn't running). Oh also check for crashing. If a service's process crashes a few times, the services in it will be force removed.

[android-developers] Re: App Add-on
First, let me point you at this RFE: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?fid=2d69022f36ab6f460004994e8be08b82hl=en I've noticed the LVL library has (and talks about) using a double license check. You could actually use this kind of pattern to add license levels to your app in the way your talking about doing. The consumers act of buying and installing would flag a feature in your db. I've also been considering another approach where your main app would look up features in a content provider. This has the advantage that if the enabling app was uninstalled, you would no longer be able to access the new features. Also, your users would not get duplicate icons in their launcher if you don't provide a main activity. - Brill Pappin On Jan 7, 1:55 pm, John Gaby jg...@gabysoft.com wrote: I have a game for which I would like to be able to sell add-on packs.

My question is, how do people deal with the refund process. I mean, the user will be able to purchase the add-on, run it, and then request a refund, which would result in them getting it for free.

[android-developers] Re: Can't Uninstall

[android-developers] Use wireless networks setting not always available?
Hello, I have an app that relies on wireless network location, i.e. which receives location updates from the NETWORK provider. In order for this to work, the phone must have Use wireless networks enabled under the Location security settings, and my app instructs the user on how to enable this. However, it turns out that some phones (e.g. on certain American carriers) don't have this setting at all. Instead they have two settings: VZW location services and Google location services My questions: 1) Am I correct in assuming that the first of these refers to mobile network location, and the second to Wi-Fi network location? 2) How can my app detect whether the phone has the single Use wireless networks option, or if it has both of the above mentioned options? I imagine that the naming of VZW location services is carrier-specific -- is there any way of obtaining the name of this option programatically so I can provide appropriate instructions to my users, ideally localised to the user's language? 3) If the phone has both settings, how can I detect which ones are enabled? In other words, what is the return value of LocationManager.isProviderEnabled(NETWORK) if e.g. only VZW location services is enabled and not Google location services? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best, Michael. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

That's where the permissions would hook in. Off the cuff, I'd want the permissions even on the broadcasts, but that might just be me. What you propose below is another approach to this -- unifying applications in the face of non-standardization. It has its merits, especially as a transitional measure. It is also an opportunity to establish a defacto standard, especially if it publishes the best protocol as an OpenIntents.org interface, and supports that well. New apps (or old) which want to integrate well, could implement that protocol. Nowadays, I run in that direction under the my arms are too short to box with Google mindset I'm sporting. But a bit of leadership from Google would really help here. For example -- one VERY easy thing that the Google team could do is to publicize OpenIntents.org here: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/resources/community-groups.html I've been lobbying for this since 2008. If I can't convince them to put a frakkin' hyperlink on a Web page, there's no way in hell that I'm going to convince them to standardize APIs for calendar, email, etc. As I said, my arms are too short to box with Google. That's why I see the only hope in being a community-led approach: -- Create an API (e.g., email) -- Convince third-party app developers (e.g., K9) to implement said API, probably by helping them design the API in the first place -- Create a wrapper that uses all sorts of nasty techniques to graft that API on top of what's in Android today (e.g., Email app, device-specific email clients) -- Pray for a groundswell of apps using said API -- Much later, after this stuff becomes popular, try to contribute patches back to AOSP to put the API officially on this stuff, so we can get rid of (or at least shrink) the wrapper However, the kernel of all that is somebody with the itch to scratch. Right now, I don't have the itch to standardize email, calendar, etc. APIs. At most, I have the meta-itch of figuring out a process by which we can collectively get stuff like that done. I'm with you, in that I think Android is a more powerful platform with these sorts of things in place.

[android-developers] Re: App Add-on
Thanks for the input. Your solution would be nice IF Google would implement it. They could also implement an in-app purchase mechanism like Apple's, which works quite well. However, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for either of those to happen. As for having a content provider keep track, there is no way to match purchases from the Market to user's devices. That means that the user would have to run the add-on app so that it could communicate with the server. This has the same problem that I am facing now, but also adds the requirement that the user have internet connectivity to run his app. On Jan 8, 1:29 am, Brill Pappin br...@pappin.ca wrote: First, let me point you at this RFE:http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?fid=2d690... I've noticed the LVL library has (and talks about) using a double license check. You could actually use this kind of pattern to add license levels to your app in the way your talking about doing. The consumers act of buying and installing would flag a feature in your db. I've also been considering another approach where your main app would look up features in a content provider. This has the advantage that if the enabling app was uninstalled, you would no longer be able to access the new features.

My question is, how do people deal with the refund process. I mean, the user will be able to purchase the add-on, run it, and then request a refund, which would result in them getting it for free.

Re: [android-developers] Trying to return to a previous screen
Anthony,
There is only one content view per activity. If you change it, then
change back, then you need to obtain new UI element references by
calling findViewById all over again.
Second, if android.intent.action.CODE is your own action string, don't
start it with android.
Third, you can handle the back button if needed by overriding onKeyDown
and checking for keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK.
Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: NFC Secure Element
I was able to enable a secure element the other day by messing around with this external/libnfc-nxp library. I enabled SMX (SmartMX) in the config headers, and upon booting and monitoring `adb logcat` during boot I saw 1 secure elements (a SmartMX one) had been enabled. I was then able to change the mode in NfcService.java to card emulation mode. The Nexus S is now emulating a MiFare Classic 4k card. However, I am not able to read sectors from the card directly. I've been trying to use the micmd tool to do that but things act pretty strangely. For example, I tried to read block 0 and micmd tells me Could not read the data block! Tag halted, reconnecting... but what's even stranger is that at that point, 'adb logcat' shuts itself off. As if that read command somehow interfered with USB or logging? However trying `a` commands to authenticate in micmd always works for some reason and it'll even pretent to write and persist data to blocks; but of course that data never actually gets persisted to the emulated card. Maybe this is a bug in micmd? Does anyone know if the Nexus S hardware (or its PN544 NFC chipset) even contains a hardware secure element like SmartMX? I tried also enabling UICC but that didn't seem to work at all and NFC service wouldn't even start in that case. Plus my SIM card is MANY years old and not sure it'd even work... Either way, I used libnfc.org's `nfc-mfclassic` tool to dump out the contents of that emulated 4k card. It is here: http://pastebin.com/zKZ2ELcw Seems to be entirely blank which is why I'm wondering if these aren't some default values it would spit out anyway even if no SmartMX module existed? If anyone has any more insights into this, I'd be very happy to hear them. -Nemanja On Dec 19 2010, 7:26 pm, nemik ne...@nemik.net wrote: Dominik, Yea, that's right.

Re: [android-developers] RPC service with notification
Intent(Context context, Class cls)
needs a Context as first parameter, which
AndroidService.AndroidServiceImpl is not :)
I see you have a variable called context, you can probably use that,
or use standard Java notation AndroidService.this to refer to the
enclosing class instance, which as far as I can see, is a Service, which
is a Context.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Launching an application from a email. Is that possible?
There is no need to play tricks with schemes and intent filters matching hosts and paths and such. Just use this Intent.toUri() method to turn the actual Intent you want (such as one with a custom action of yours and the package set to your app's package name) into a URI you can use else where such as in a web page: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#toUri(int) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#toUri(int) On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 8:00 AM, sdphil phil.pellouch...@gmail.com wrote: okay, yeah, doesn't work -- intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW/ category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT/ category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE/ data android:scheme=http/ data android:host=www.mycompany.com/ data android:path=subpath/ data android:mimeType=mycompany/test/ /intent-filter And my html looks like this: a href=http://www.mycompany.com/subpath?arg=1; mimetype=mycompany/testTest Link/a When I click on that link in the phone's browser, it tries to navigate to a page within the browser instead of launching my app...

Re: [android-developers] Drawing on a canvas like normal VS OpenGl
Going with OpenGL increases the complexity of the game as you now have to deal with activity life cycle issues and drivers. You also now have to manage creating and loading textures. All these things can be managed of course but they will have to be managed and hence will require more effort on your part. I have released Freddy Jump, Freddy Falling and Wrath all using regular canvas calls. They all have lite versions if you want to check them out. None of these games have a performance problem AFAIK but they are pretty basic. If your game requires sprite scaling or rotations, then I think you should consider OpenGL. Freddy Jump has rotations on Freddy but the scenery is sparse. If you're just starting out I would strongly suggest making a simple game that uses Canvas.

[android-developers] Re: class name (Dbi) does not match path (classes/Dbi.class)
The key part of the answer lies directly in the error message. You'll have to do the legwork to a solution yourself, I'm afraid. Note that the listed path includes the classes/ directory. This is VERY incorrect, and the proximate cause of your problem. Somewhere, you have something pointed at the incorrect directory for where to find the compiled classes. Your classpath entry should point directly at the immediate parent of the 'com/' directory -- in this case, 'classes/'. Java does *not* operate by searching the directory hierarchy under and finding classes. The directory hierarchy for both sources and compiled files must EXACTLY match the package hierarchy. The error you are getting is indicating that this is not the case for the compiled files. It is saying that it is finding the .class files in a directory hierarchy that starts with 'classes/', e.g. 'classes/ com/rcsreg/exposmart/ExpoSmart$2.class'. Thus, somewhere in your process you are pointing to the wrong directory -- possibly the root of your project directory. If you find that, and add the classes directory to the end, it will find this class via 'com/rcsreg/ exposmart/ExpoSmart$2.class', and your problem will be solved.

Re: [android-developers] About viewstubs
If you're going to inflate all the stubs within one lifecycle of your activity, then there is almost no benefit to using them, since all of their respective view hierarchies will end up in memory. If you really wanted to go down this route, you could remove the unneeded parts of the hierarchy from their parents and replace them with view stubs again, from code (is there a public constructor for ViewStub? you could look it up). This would allow unreferenced views to be GC'd, but unless your layouts are really complex, is probably not worth it. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 08.01.2011 17:34 пользователь Pedro Duque pmdu...@gmail.com написал: I'm trying to gasp viewstubs but I feel I'm missing something.

When I click a button it would deflate the previous layout and inflate the new one but this only works the first time...

[android-developers] Change the background of an AppWidget
I want to set the background of an appwidget at runtime with a dynamically generated image (skin) (which must fill the entire space of the widget). Approach 1: Use an ImageView and remoteViews.setImageViewUri() Problem: For the image to fit and look properly I need to know the exact pixel size of the widget and I have not found a way to do that. The minWidth/Height of the widget does not help. The space taken by the cells also varies from Android version to version e.g. comparing 2.1 (480x678) with 2.3 (480x633) for 4x4 cells on WVGA. And this is only the default Home app. LauncherPro, ADW etc. have different status bar heights etc. Also the image get's really big which slows down the system, lags, is prone to crashes in low mem situation. Approach 2: Use a NinePatch image which adjusts to whatever size the widget has. Problem: I couldn't find a way to set a NinePatch image. This only works with resources which are inside the apk. Not with dynamically created files. Any suggestions would be welcome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] MediaPlayer StreamVideo question.
Hello Group, First question is. is it better to store the apps video as a resource on the phone? If yes, what format would you recommend. Or, would it be better to store the videos on a web server and stream the videos to the app when requested. My app is going to have lots of video's eventually. I am thinking around 10min each. Let's say for now 5 videos. But, will be more down the road. They are intro videos for my application for each objective type thing. Now, if it is better to store them on the cloud/interwebs, how do you do streaming video with the MediaPlayer class. Do you have to store Temp files while it buffers or does it just stream? Also, if it does store temp files, where should I store them? Some how my instinct is telling me, put files on a server and cache the buffer vids. Either way, where are good tutorials on doing anyone of these solutions. I already have the MediaPlayer class in my app and it works for playing local stuff. I just have to make it work for streaming vids. Thanks group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I've heard of a lot of people having problems playing videos stored as resources. I haven't tried it myself, since IMHO shipping videos in the APK is just plain too big.

You don't exactly have a ton of options: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html Or, would it be better to store the videos on a web server and stream the videos to the app when requested. Well, the third option is you download the videos to external storage at some point in time. Either that or streaming will be preferable to storing them as raw resources, IMHO. My app is going to have lots of video's eventually. All the more reason why you can't have them as resources, since there's a 50MB APK size limit for distribution through the Android Market, and having APKs that big anyway will be a problem for a lot of Android users on 1+ year old phones. Now, if it is better to store them on the cloud/interwebs, how do you do streaming video with the MediaPlayer class. Hand it an RTSP or HTTP URL instead of a local file path.

I don't think the behavior of the broadcast has changed. It is pretty

receiver will get it.

intprevHeadsetState, String headsetName) {
if ((headsetState headset) != (prevHeadsetState headset)) {
// Pack up the values and broadcast them to everyone
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY);
int state = 0;
int microphone = 0;
if ((headset HEADSETS_WITH_MIC) != 0) {
microphone = 1;
}
if ((headsetState headset) != 0) {
state = 1;
}
intent.putExtra(state, state);
intent.putExtra(name, headsetName);
intent.putExtra(microphone, microphone);
if (LOG) Slog.v(TAG, Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG: state:

[android-developers] Accessing AudioManager within a class which extends BroadcastReceiver
I am using an AlarmManager to trigger the following class so it will
change the volume from say high to low:
package com.test;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.AudioManager;
public class ToRing extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
}
}
It is saying that AUDIO_SERVICE cannot be resolved to a constant or
variable. How can I access the audio service from within the
broadcast receiver?

[android-developers] Re: Trying to get my head around multi screen densities. With more info
Thanks all for your responses. It appears there was a knowledge gap in my understanding. I have it all sorted now. I really appreciate your assistance.

I want to support the Galaxy TAB - it is a large screen (600x1024) with density of hdpi, it turns out that my HTC desire has a large screen (480x800) with a density of hdpi. So these devices are indistinguishable to android as they fit into the same categories. Now the issue is that i designed it to look great on the HTC and now I have the Galaxy I want to fix it to look good on that too. So the background image on the listView is 800 wide which looks great on the HTC but not so much on the TAB as it is centred and the icon that is on the left side on the HTC is blowing in the breeze on the TAB. So I have some issues and I am really not getting anywhere. So if anyone could point me in the right direction as to the proper process to follow to solve this I would be eternally grateful.

[android-developers] TextView setCompoundDrawables inconsistent size
I'am trying to use TextView's setCompoundDrawables feature because i wan't a button with a label above it.

First app launch every thing looks nice, close app, launch again and the drawables seems to have lost their padding.

[android-developers] Trying to play a ringtone and vibrate the phone at the same time
Hey Guys,
I am trying to use the Vibrator service and the RingtoneManager to
simultaneously vibrate the phone and play a ringtone. If I remove the
code to vibrate the phone, my ringtone plays continuously but if I add
the code to also vibrate, my ringtone plays for a short time until the
vibrate starts and the ringtone stops?? I didnt see any way to check
if the phone is vibrating so that I can play the ringtone after the
vibrate finishes. Does anyone know a way around this? Here is the
code Im using:
if (vibrateOnOffValue != VIBRATE_STATUS_OFF)
{
Vibrator v = (Vibrator)
getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
// 1. Vibrate for 1000 milliseconds
long milliseconds = 1000;
v.vibrate(milliseconds);
}
String ringToneURI =
getIntent().getStringExtra(InspireAlarmConstants.ALARM_RINGTONE_PREF_KEY);
rg = getRingTone(ringToneURI);
if (rg != null)
{
rg.play();
}

[android-developers] Re: How to interrupt a blocking I/O operation?
Well, there's interrupting the IO loop, and there's backing out of the
blocked IO system call.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, you won't be able to force an ARBITRARY OS to give
you back control if it's actually in a blocked IO system call.
If you can on a specific OS, and it improves your app in some way
that's worth the complexity, then great. But I recommend avoiding it
as a design requirement! What may work on one platform may not work on
another.
That's why I suggest the default position is you can't do that. If
you can, you should view it as a nice optimization. Optimizations come
with costs; if it's worth the complexity and potential for bugs and
corresponding testing burden -- go for it.
But first design your application to work as well as it can without
relying on it.
Then figure out if you even need it.

In my experience, if you use AsynTasks (or Future? instances) to do

If i'm not mistaken, the apache HttpClient is sensitive to calling
interrupt() on the thread on which it is doing HTTP I/O.

Maybe I should use some sort of interruptible channel instead ... ?

No I haven't got back to testing this yet. I am busy with some other

Thanks for your suggestions. I will try them as soon as I get a chance. I

Hi Nagaraj,
I made it work... The point is: what are you sending as Auth token?
the whole response that you got from /ClientLogin? or just the
Auth= section? (Without the Auth=). You have to send the second
one.
If you're already doing it that way, try removing all \n in that
String.
You will also have to disable expect:continue in http requests (it's
something that sends only the headers and if it's ok, continues
sending the body). To do so:
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpProtocolParams.setUseExpectContinue(params, false);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
That way it worked for me...

Hi Nagaraj,
could you make it work? I also tried downloading sources from google
examples (JumpNote and Google2Chrome) and I couldn't make them work
due to Authentication error (I think it could be related to something
that Nasif Nooruden pointed you out about trimming the Auth string).
However in my code, I've tried trimming the string and then I get 401
- UnAuthorized (I suppose it is because I have wrongly changed the
auth string).
Could it be an Apache HTTP related issue?
But for me the most strange thing is that I can see the header in my
POST request and the value of Content-Length is the same as the length
of the POST parameters (and I have no querystring parameters).

Re: [android-developers] public static variables being reset across same package in different classes in the framework
Applications each run in their own process, and do not run in the same process as the system process where the window manager service runs. Thus they all have their own independent static globals. What you are doing fundamentally won't work. To have a global across the system, you'd need to have an IPC interface to a single entity maintaining the value, and if you do that you need to deal with all of the associated complexity: defining the interface, implementing the threaded service for it, designing access so that remote processes don't have to perform IPCs all the time to it, etc. On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 11:11 PM, Shafaq s.abdullah...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to keep track of home key button hit and touch event in the area of interest pressed within some fixed window of time.
