The M860 appears to be the CDMA twin brother of the UMTS-based U8230 (sold
in Russia, Ukraine, etc.)

The specs at link below say 320x480, 3.5 - a pretty typical HVGA (other
sites I'm not posting here also give the same numbers).

You can see it quite clearly in the screenshots, too:

 That phone has 3.5 screen (same as an iPhone), and while it's not
 impossible, I would find it extremely hard to believe that it's a
 240x320 screen.  I think you would see pixelation even on a YouTube
 video of that were the case.  I believe the HVGA part of the
 description is correct and it's, in fact, a HVGA 320x480 device.

[android-developers] Application priority

2011-01-23 Thread culonna

An application that is running for a long time in foreground will
acquire more priority in time?
I explain my problem. I ported a software for communication with a
fixed infrastructure in Android. I'm making some tests. Each test
makes 5 experiments (the mobile node sends some queries to the
infrastructure and evalutes the number of query successful and the
mean time) and the result of the test is the mean of the results of
these experiments.
During the test the application is always in foreground.
In the experiments the result improve e. g. (10% 15% 30% 40% 55% of
query ok).
I implemented the system as activity and not yet as service.
For the test the app aquire the locks SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK and
WIFI_MODE_FULL.
Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Create Custom Shaped Image Button

It depends on what you mean by custom shaped.

You can use any drawable shape for the image or background, and don't even
have to subclass for that (rounded corners, etc).

But hit testing for is still rectangle-based, and AFAIK, is performed by the
parent of a view, so it would be difficult to change.

At the very least, you would need to subclass, intercept touch events, and
throw away the ones that are inside the bounding rectangle but outside the
shape.

2011/1/23 Robin Talwar r.o.b.i.n.abhis...@gmail.com

 You would have to make another class and extend it by views
 then overwrite the constructor and ondraw() method
 then you can make the object of it in the java class and use it

Re: [android-developers] Application priority

Probably has more to do with network infrastructure surrounding the phone,
than with what priority your phone application runs at (as long as it
doesn't get killed - and that won't happen if it's in the foreground).

It's really hard to say without knowing what those tests are, but, e.g. UDP
is often unreliable or slow on mobile networks, and your code could catching
slow-coming results from previous interations.

[android-developers] Question regarding RelativeLayout

Two RelativeLayouts within a single full-screen RelativeLayout.
(test only works in landscape on a large screen). I would expect, that
the first nested RelativeLayout is as large as the four aligned
buttons (because it has wrap_content as layout width). But in fact it
spans the whole screen. The result is, that the second nested
RelativeLayout, as it is aligned toLeftOf the first one,  is moved off
the screen.

If I use a layout_width with a concrete value, such as 220dp, for the
first nested RelativeLayout  this RelativeLayout is way smaller and
the second nested RelativeLayout is correctly assign as toLeftOf and
is on screen.

Can someone tell me, why? Or is this a bug?

Cheers,
Rutton.

Re: [android-developers] Question regarding RelativeLayout

Seems like your intent is a side-by-side layout for a tablet device.

I would recommend you use a top-level LinearLayout (orientation=horizontal),
and give your two relative layouts layout_width=0dp and layout_weight=1
(that's for a start, you can also experiment with
layout_width=wrap_content and other weight values).

You could also change the way you align two buttons side by side: instead of
anchoring the right one, and setting layout_toLeftOf on the left one, try a
more natural sequence. Set layout_alignParentLeft on the left one, and
layout_toRightOf on the right one. This applies to all four left/right
button pairs you have in the entire layout.

Well, interesting idea.

Consider this case: I don't have two nested layouts within the parent,
rather three. And I want this line up initially anchored from the
right.
The most right one is anchored to the right top/bottom corner and the
two others are added from right to left, whereas the second one has
its
natural size and the most left one may be stretched to fill the parent
layout.
I believe this can't be achieved with a LinearLayout with orientation
horizontal.

I think the example should work as intended, and think that the

layout_width=wrap_content should just cover the place that is
actually needed
and not the whole parent layout.

Unfortunately this gives a different effect than intended.
layout_toRightOf stretches the right buttons, as layout_toLeftOf

( if they are nailed to their respective parent layout corners)
I don't think that the RelativeLayout should depend on some sort of
natural sequence,
as layouting from right to left is as natural as doing it from left to
right. It's an algorithm,
why should it depend on something natural.

So I tend to believe its a bug in RelativeLayouts
layout_width=wrap_content calculation.
I am interested to discuss this, and if nobody comes up with a good
explanation,
why this is that way, I will report this as a bug.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Question regarding RelativeLayout

You should be able to place 3 (or more) layouts into a LinearLayout,
indicating which one(s) you want stretched and how by laying with
layout_weight and layout_width values.

I've seen RelativeLayout not compute the actual height for wrap_content when
its children are added bottom-to-top (using layout_above), but work
correctly when its children are added top-to-bottom (using layout_below).
Maybe there is a similar issue with width, and leftOf/rightOf positioning.
Hence, my suggestion.

[android-developers] Re: supports-screens question

2011-01-23 Thread kernelpanic

thanks - I found several other sites that disagree with the
manufacturer's site and state 320x480 as well.

The app was tested and works fine (according to a few other users) on
a Samsung Transform which is 320x455, so not sure why the claim that
it doesn't work.

The person never bothered to contact me directly or ask for a refund,
so it may just be someone that wanted pay so they could vote 1 star,
who knows.

 The specs at link below say 320x480, 3.5 - a pretty typical HVGA (other
 sites I'm not posting here also give the same numbers).

 You can see it quite clearly in the screenshots, too:

  That phone has 3.5 screen (same as an iPhone), and while it's not

  240x320 screen.  I think you would see pixelation even on a YouTube

Re: [android-developers] Re: supports-screens question

Getting a little futher OT - I sometimes get comments from users of custom
firmware, in fact, at this point, issues are typically caused by
Frankenstein-like firmware (kernel from here, apps from there, WiFi and
radio drivers extracted from standard firmware, well, you get the idea).

I would really love to see a way to respond to comments to address this.

And something good - recently someone posted an ignorant 1-star comment for
my app, that was full of swear words (in Russian). After a few days, the
comment disappeared - so it looks Google has an algorithm that searches for
certain words in comments and removes them.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using internal Android string resources

Nice. There are times I could certainly use a service like that!

What I was thinking though is something a bit more dynamic, so you could build 
resource collections out of what was stored in the database and/or contribute 
more translations. License them under the Apache License so you can use them in 
your Android apps etc.

We'll see if it actually gets built :)
It all a matter of the time I don't have.

It's really hard to say without knowing what those tests are, but, e.g. UDP
is often unreliable or slow on mobile networks, and your code could catching
slow-coming results from previous interations.

[android-developers] drawing and refreshing small paint over static bitmap

2011-01-23 Thread Paolo Russian

Hello. I thought it was an easy find over all these android forums but
it seems i cannot find if there is a pre-built way to draw my sprite
(made up with a couple of shapes) over a static bitmap as background.
What I currently do is redrawing the background and drawing over same
canvas the sprite, for each onDraw() event, with some performance
issues ofcourse.
I remember some mode 0x13h experiments in old C, so there surely are
ways to copy-pixels behind the sprite, move the sprite, rederaw the
copied part of background to cover the old sprite, and draw the new
sprite position.
My question is different: is there a way to set up a certain number of
layers/levels and leave the bitmap on the bottom layer and going on
erasing-drawing only the sprite in the top layer? That would you
normally do for instance in actionscript3, you create 2 canvas, and
operate them individually. But if you want to be old-school you can
work with copypixel but there is almost never the need.
But whenever I search for layers or overlays searches spit out
GoogleMaps layers coding, MapView overlays stuff which really don't
matter :D
So what classes am I missing for doing this very basic thing?

Thanks

[android-developers] managing the apps in Android market

2011-01-23 Thread Alexander

Hi.
i'm also posting this question in the help forum but i think its a
mixed issue as it is with respect the developer.

We have a small team working on several apps that are going to be
released on android market, and one thing we are having
problems with is how to manage the publisher account. The owner of the
account (bank and credit card information) is not the developer that
is in charge of the android apps (prepare, sign, etc. for distribution
and control their status).
So this developer needs to have access to the publisher site and
upload the apps, update them, etc... but independently of the bank
data and unable to change it.

So the question is, how do you deal with this case?... or is it the
market supposed to work with only one developer with his personal
credit card managing everything?. i don't think that must be the only
possible way...

Thank you for any help and guide, i haven't found much information
about this particular problem.

[android-developers] onPostExecute and Activity State

2011-01-23 Thread Doug Gordon

After the background thread of an AsyncTask has completed (i.e., 
doInBackground returns), it is stated that onPostExecute runs on the UI 
thread. Can I assume that if the activity has gone into the paused 
state or other non-active state, that onPostExecute will not be called 
until the activity has resumed (and is in the foreground)?


It seems like it has to work this way, but I'm not sure exactly how the 
threading model works in Android.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Grab phonebook-contacts via ContactsContract-API

2011-01-23 Thread Dmitri Plotnikov

The answer is: yes you do. Your sync adapter will need to adopt the
no-account contacts, otherwise some other syncadapter will claim them and
then synchronization will become impossible. The no-account contacts
literally have accountType=NULL so they are easy to find. Find them and
assign the account type/name right away. Please note that once you have a
sync adapter in the system, you can no longer create any no-account
contacts. At least that is true for the stock implementation of Android.

Cheers,

And its even worse. The AccountManager isn't even aware of all
account_types?!?
For example on my HTC Desire with HTC Sense, the account_type all
local contacts are saved in is: com.htc.android.pcsc. But when I
grab
a list of all available accounts from the AccountManager: This
account
is not in the list!?
I also tested it on a Samsung Galaxy. Same here: The AccountManager
is
not aware of the account_type used for local phonebookcontacts.

The whole story is that I wan't to write a app to sync my locale
phonebook with OpenXchange.

I guess I got that whole new ContactsContract-API wrong, but I don't
see any other way, then using RawContacts. Due to that I have to
care
about the account_type, which is in fact a total mess.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Every hint is
highly appreciated.

Re: [android-developers] onPostExecute and Activity State

Doug,

AsyncTask doesn't know anything about Activity lifecycle (and can be used
with other app components).

As far as messaging goes, the UI thread continues to run and process
messages even if no activities are visible (there may be messages related to
services or app widgets, and also that's how your next activity is brought
onto the screen), so your onPostExecute will get called as soon as
doInBackground completes.

So - either cancel your task in onPause (beware that there was a thread race
issue, AFAIK fixed in 2.2), or set some kind of flag in the task object so
it doesn't try to update views that are no longer on the screen.

-- Kostya

2011/1/23 Doug Gordon gordo...@gmail.com

 After the background thread of an AsyncTask has completed (i.e.,
 doInBackground returns), it is stated that onPostExecute runs on the UI
 thread. Can I assume that if the activity has gone into the paused state
 or other non-active state, that onPostExecute will not be called until the
 activity has resumed (and is in the foreground)?

 It seems like it has to work this way, but I'm not sure exactly how the
 threading model works in Android.

Re: [android-developers] drawing and refreshing small paint over static bitmap

2011-01-23 Thread Kevin Duffey

This brings me back some years! I remember when trying to dabble in this
area of game/graphics drawing, thinking to myself.. if I have multiple
objects on the screen, and one goes behind another, I don't want to draw the
one behind it. It should speed things up a bit. I never could figure out how
to do it right. I was just doing a loop and drawing everything as fast I
could, not using a timing loop like 60 times a second and trying to get all
the drawing in there each 60th of a second.

I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but I would guess each
draw object, be it a background or any object at any layer in between,
would have it's own drawing handler. You would have some sort of logic that
would figure out if a given layer is completely hidden.. obstructed by an
object in a layer above it. However, like I said above, I could never figure
out how you figure out if a given object is completely covering an object
below it. Each object could have transparency sections, like a plane with
windows, where part of the object below it might actually be seen through
the window of the object above it. I always figured draw from bottom up
allowing for transparency so that bottom objects would appear through. This
would of course mean you end up drawing everything, all the time,
completely. I figured that would be faster than trying to figure out code
that would determine if an object was partially hidden or completely hidden
using some sort of algorithm that determines the shape or not. If you could
use a pure square outline, that was fine, but then it wouldn't look right if
you had say a triangle bitmap over a square bitmap.. you'd have to account
for the portion of the square that is visible beyond the triangle edges. I
sucked in math, hence why this sort of stuff always frustrated me.

Hello. I thought it was an easy find over all these android forums but

What I currently do is redrawing the background and drawing over same
canvas the sprite, for each onDraw() event, with some performance
issues ofcourse.
I remember some mode 0x13h experiments in old C, so there surely are
ways to copy-pixels behind the sprite, move the sprite, rederaw the
copied part of background to cover the old sprite, and draw the new
sprite position.
My question is different: is there a way to set up a certain number of
layers/levels and leave the bitmap on the bottom layer and going on
erasing-drawing only the sprite in the top layer? That would you
normally do for instance in actionscript3, you create 2 canvas, and
operate them individually. But if you want to be old-school you can
work with copypixel but there is almost never the need.
But whenever I search for layers or overlays searches spit out
GoogleMaps layers coding, MapView overlays stuff which really don't
matter :D
So what classes am I missing for doing this very basic thing?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Grab phonebook-contacts via ContactsContract-API

2011-01-23 Thread Dmitri Plotnikov

Using ContentObserver for sync adapters does not sound like a good idea.
There are several reasons for that:

1. Data change notifications are not delivered to processes that are not
running. So if your sync adapter is not running for one reason or another
(and the system kills processes when it needs resources), then you won't get
a notification.
2. ContactsProvider sends only general whole adapter notifications,
meaning that when any data element in the database changes it sends a
notification to all observers regardless of what URIs they registered for.
For example, somebody's presence in Talk changes - you will get a
notification. Most of these notifications will have nothing to do with the
changes you need to sync, but there is no way for the adapter to tell.
3. Having the sync adapter running at all times is a major waste of
resources.

Fortunately, the sync framework is designed to overcome all these issues.
SyncManager manages sync adapters, calls them at the best time from the
system's perspective, throttles their activities etc. Sync adapters
themselves rely on RawContact.DIRTY flag and the
ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER parameter to find and process
incremental changes.

There are examples of how that's done. The most comprehensive example is
probably the Exchange (IAS) sync adapter that you can find here:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Email.git;a=tree;f=src/com/android/exchange

ContentObserver notify whenever raw_content table changes in

still get it through deleted flag in raw_contact table but how about
edited one??).
2) when we get notification in ContentObserver can we fire requestSync
(Account account, String authority, Bundle extras) to start Sync ??
how we can get data of raw_contact affected by contact application
using these to parameters .
3) Is sync started by ContentProvider API ?? whenever change to it
happens ??. How?? does it pass any useful uri or data that has been
changed in raw_contacts??.
4) How do we come to know if in the process of syncing something went
wrong?? does it started again automatically??.

It seems to me that the OP wants to synchronize contacts using the
sync adapters APIs, and therefore wants to have his own account type,
and raw contacts in this account.

But that means that when the user first starts using this app, this
account will be empty, and will synchronize... nothing.
Instead, they probably expect to synchronize the contacts already on
their phones (in the local account, or, more probably, in the gmail

Re: [android-developers] onPostExecute and Activity State

Yes, there is that special case for orientation changes, thank you, but it's
temporary.

I suppose also if the UI thread is stuck on something and is heading for an
ANR, then it's not processing messages either.

Under normal conditions, the UI thread does process messages - here is a
simple test (I was curious about the messaging behavior here, so spent a few
minutes writing one):

 ---
new AsyncTaskVoid, Void, String() {
private Context context = getApplicationContext();

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
Toast.makeText(context, AsyncTask says:  + result,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000 * 5);
} catch (InterruptedException x) {
  Log.i(TAG, x.toString());
}
return Hello world;
}
}.execute();
--

You can put this in onStart of any activity (the main one will do), launch
it, and immediately press Back so that the activity is not only paused,
but also destroyed.

Five seconds later the toast will show up over the home screen, showing that
onPostExecute did get called.

[android-developers] High memory usage reported in running services activity

the Running Services android window. As it is a lot of memory that I
think I don't use I looked to ddms and also made a head dump of my
process and then the memory usage is only 2.9Mb

What's is the real memory usage? If it is the ddms one is there any
way to let running services give the correct usage? Because I'm afraid
that if some user look at the running services it will say that the
application is wasting a lot of memory.

Re: [android-developers] onPostExecute and Activity State

There actually isn't a special state for orientation changes.  We just
specify that the implementation will do the destruction of the old activity
and construction of the new activity during processing of a single message,
so no other messages can be dispatched while it is doing this.

That is, there is no concept of message dispatching turned off.  If there
is a message available to be dispatched, it will be.  It's just that the
next message can't be dispatched until you return from the previous on.

Also the activity lifecycle is completely independent of message
dispatching.  Completely.  If you enqueue a message in a handler while
executing in some activity, and that activity is completely
destroyed/finished (not being restarted), the message you enqueued will
still be processed even though the activity is gone.  It is your
responsibility to remove any messages from the queue in onDestroy() if you
don't want them executed after onDestroy().  (Likewise onPause() etc.)

The same applies for AsyncTask -- it knows nothing about activities, so it
will just keep running and eventually call back with the result, regardless
of what happens to whatever activity you were in when you started it.

This is also another place to look for leaks.  If you have an AsyncTask that
is an inner class of an activity, it implicitly holds a reference on the
activity.  Thus if you leave it running after your activity is destroyed, it
will continue holding that reference, not allowing the activity object (and
everything it holds like its view hierarchy) to be GCed until the task
completes and calls back on your inner object of a destroyed activity.

Ah.

 That is, there is no concept of message dispatching turned off.  If there
 is a message available to be dispatched, it will be.  It's just that the
 next message can't be dispatched until you return from the previous on.

More ah.

Many thanks!

Re: [android-developers] High memory usage reported in running services activity

You can use adb shell dumpsys memoryinfo to see more details information
about app memory usage.

Note that Running Services (especially starting with Gingerbread) is showing
the aggregate of your process and any processes you are causing to keep
around.  Look at the details to see if there are other processes involved,
and it should say why they are needed.

Or it could just be that you have allocations elsewhere -- for example I
think DDMS only shows the Java heap in its main view.  If you have a lot of
native allocations (bitmaps, web view, etc) then they may not show up there.

 What's is the real memory usage? If it is the ddms one is there any
 way to let running services give the correct usage? Because I'm afraid
 that if some user look at the running services it will say that the
 application is wasting a lot of memory.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Application priority

Running longer does not give you a higher priority, using more memory does
not give you a higher priority.

It sounds like you have a memory leak. That's probably the first thing to
look at. Also you may be keeping data in caches and stuff so that in later
iterations you have the data local without needing to do more work.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Shared preference from non activity class

2011-01-23 Thread Kevin Duffey

 Bean class is a pojo. You have private instance variables, with public
get/set methods. A property is an instance field with a get/set method. I
forget though if you need both.. there are some cases where you may want to
make a mutable property by using a constructor to set it, then only have a
getter so it can't be changed.

Interesting.
It's been working fine on Android 2.1 devices.  (Several friends, and I,

This must be a new restriction for 2.2 devices.
I'll try changing it.

[android-developers] Re: High memory usage reported in running services activity

2011-01-23 Thread Joan Pujol

Thanks Dianne,

I've tried with the dumpsys memoryinfo and it says I have the same
that is reported in running services.
It seems you are right and that the memory is used in the native part:
  Native  Dalvik
allocated:18259 4659  N/A22918

But how can I get some detail of where is used the native memory.
Because with only the number I haven't any clue.

And also, if the native memory isn't displayed in the HEAD DUMP, it is
really useful??

Cheers,

[android-developers] Re: How to stream video to android device over HTTP.

2011-01-23 Thread Thierry Legras

After digging here and there for some times...  It turns out that it is
completly possible to stream video over HTTP using MP4 muxing on Android, it
is just that VLC software can't do that. So it seems there is no universal
video streaming solution over 3G network with VLC as server and Android
device as client :(

Summary:

Flash Video/HTTP: compatible with VLC, compatible with 3G network, not
compatible with all android device
MP4/HTTP: not compatible with VLC, OK with 3G network, OK with all android
device
MP4/RTSP: OK with VLC, not compatible with all 3G network, OK with all
android device
Sound only/HTTP: compatible with VLC, compatible with 3G network, compatible
with all android device

Thierry.


2010/12/20 Thierry Legras tleg...@gmail.com

 Hi,

 I would like to stream video files to Android device, and intend to
 integrate playback in my application.

 I first tried to use flash video streaming, which works pretty nice on my
 HTC Hero which integrated flash player, but now on Floyo ROM it does not
 work any more. I guess HTC player is more complete than froyo 2.2 flash
 support.

 Then I tried to stream with VLC software using RTSP and it appears to work
 only with WiFi. On 3G, I see on the streaming PC that the stream is sent,
 but nothing is displayed on the Android device, whereas it works on WiFi.
 I found this very interesting page from VLC stream  convert developper
 which seems to show that this method is hazardous. Indeed the proposed test
 does not work at all on my device/operator.
 http://traveldevel.com/vlc-stream-convert/streaming-over-3g

 Finally I am trying to stream over HTTP. I made it work (WiFi AND 3G) for
 audio stream only, but when I try to stream audio+video, it does not work at
 all (WiFi nor 3G). Of course I set the bitrate and screen size to low so it
 is supposed to work at least in WiFi. I tried several combination
 codec/muxer with no luck.

 So anyone knows if it is ever possible to stream video over HTTP? if yes,
 any idea which codec/muxer is supposed to work?

 Or at least what is the most universal and/or recommanded way to stream
 video to android device??

 Thanks for any help,

 --
 Thierry.

Re: [android-developers] Re: High memory usage reported in running services activity

If you aren't using WebView, this is most likely bitmaps.  I would suggest
looking in the dalvik heap info to see what bitmaps are being held.
 Unfortunately bitmap memory is not currently part of the Dalvik heap, so it
can be a little hard to track down.

[android-developers] Re: Pretty sure Google Analytics for Android not working

2011-01-23 Thread H

I wonder now if maybe adding custom variables is not enough to trigger the 
dispatch... maybe it actually requires pageviews or events... however if 
that is the case, I'd consider it a bug.

Hi Brill. From what I could glean from the docs, custom vars are merely 
appended to a page view or click event. The custom vars do not trigger any 
data sent to analytics. The docs are unfortunately clear that custom vars 
accompany another request so I don't think you've found a bug, just a bad 
way of Google explaining what they are and how to use them.

However, I'm not impressed by the custom vars anyway. I did want to replace 
three click events my app used to do on startup that logged the phone 
model, the android release and the app release version. I swapped these into 
custom vars and although I can see the info coming out in the analytics, 
it's very hard to get the information out easily. You have to create a 
custom report for each combination of page event and specific custom 
variable. I want to be able to click on a page event and just see the custom 
vars that came in with it - but that requires more effort.

I'm thinking of moving over to Flurry as it looks like you can attach lots 
of information to an event which can be viewed for each individual event 
if need be.

HTH.

[android-developers] Exceptions in user libraries

2011-01-23 Thread Steve

Hi there,

I am developing for Android from Eclipse running on the Windows OS. As
I have multiple projects that share certain parts of code, I have made
said code into an Android library, and then reference said libraries
to the projects. I am doing this by using the 'Library' panel under
the 'Android' section (when you right click - Properties on a
project). The library projects have 'Is Library' ticked, and the main
projects add the library projects.

In terms of being able to build and run, this appears to work. However
I have run into two problems, one more serious than the other:

1. When I make a change to the source for a library, when I ask
Eclipse to run/debug it doesn't pick up the change. I have to instead
refresh (F5) the main project - this appears to correctly pull in
dependencies (incidentally, I also have to do this if I make a change
to native code using the NDK and rebuild the resulting .so file). Is
there a way to force these sorts of dependency checks to automatically
be taken into consideration when I debug run? I have got reasonably
used to refreshing when running, but it is somewhat easy to loose
track of what source file you are editing, and forgetting it is one in
a library that means a refresh is required. It can result in wasted
debug sessions when you are running unexpected code!

2. My more serious problem is: when an unhandled exception is thrown
in library code, it doesn't tell me about the exception in an easy
way. For example, today I had an exception raised, and it reported to
me that it was coming from the GLThread.run method, from
GLSurfaceView.java - so I went through the various hoops for getting
the source code for Android onto my PC, so I could view
GLSurfaceView.java, and saw the exception was coming from
'guardedRun', which in turn was calling 'onDrawFrame', which in turn
called out to my native render + update function (using the NDK),
which in turn called back into my Java code to load some music, and
*that* code then went onto attempt to access an array with an invalid
index. None of this was shown in the callstack (only GLThread.run
appeared there), instead I had to make my own version of GLSurfaceView
that had some try/catch statements that caught the exception, and gave
me a callstack of where the problem lies by using e.printStackTrace().
Once I had the callstack, I was able to fix up the offending code. I
don't remember having this problem before I made my code into a
library - I thought previously exceptions were getting caught much
earlier on. I am simply not remembering correctly? Or is there some
limitation when using libraries? If I am not remembering correctly,
clearly I just need to wrap my Java code that is being called from my
native code with try/catch/print exception blocks so I can avoid this
problem again.

I look forward to your responses,

Steve

2011-01-23 Thread sunny

Hi

I am struggling trying to render to custom widget as part of ViewFlipper.
when I try to access my widget from the layout file, it gives me a null
pointer exception. However putting them all into the java code is not very
clean. I am wondering if someone can share few example on how render the
ViewFlipper that would flip between two FrameLayout both identitcal
containing a custom widget .

Also, even with the ViewFlipper, I am unable to access the ViewFlipper
object from resource file. It gives me a null pointer exception. Two frame
layouts stored a resource files as frame1 and frame2.  all the viewFlipper
does is to flip between two views.



//main.xml file


?xml version=*1.0* encoding=*utf-8*?

LinearLayout xmlns:android=*http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
*

android:layout_width=*fill_parent
*

android:layout_height=*fill_parent* 

ViewFlipper

android:id=*@+id/flipper
*

android:layout_width=*fill_parent
*

android:layout_height=*fill_parent* android:layout_marginBottom=*20dp*

include android:id=*@+id/first* layout=*@layout/first_view* /

include android:id=*@+id/second* layout=*@layout/second_view* /

/ViewFlipper

/LinearLayout



//code...

setContentView(R.layout.*main*);

ViewFlipper *vp* = (ViewFlipper)this.findViewById(R.id.flipper);

/the above gives me error..first view and second view contains custom
widget.



//first view..

?xml version=*1.0* encoding=*utf-8*?

FrameLayout

xmlns:android=*http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
*

android:layout_width=*match_parent
*

android:layout_height=*match_parent
*

android:id=*@+id/main_layout
*



Button

android:id=*@+id/Button01*

android:layout_width=*wrap_content*

[android-developers] Re: Exceptions in user libraries

2011-01-23 Thread DanH

That sounds like a problem related to native methods (or, more likely,
a feechur).  When the exception percolated to the native method
boundary it was converted into a return code.  Some systems do this
more elegantly than others.

 Hi there,

 I am developing for Android from Eclipse running on the Windows OS. As
 I have multiple projects that share certain parts of code, I have made
 said code into an Android library, and then reference said libraries
 to the projects. I am doing this by using the 'Library' panel under
 the 'Android' section (when you right click - Properties on a
 project). The library projects have 'Is Library' ticked, and the main
 projects add the library projects.

 In terms of being able to build and run, this appears to work. However
 I have run into two problems, one more serious than the other:

 1. When I make a change to the source for a library, when I ask
 Eclipse to run/debug it doesn't pick up the change. I have to instead
 refresh (F5) the main project - this appears to correctly pull in
 dependencies (incidentally, I also have to do this if I make a change
 to native code using the NDK and rebuild the resulting .so file). Is
 there a way to force these sorts of dependency checks to automatically
 be taken into consideration when I debug run? I have got reasonably
 used to refreshing when running, but it is somewhat easy to loose
 track of what source file you are editing, and forgetting it is one in
 a library that means a refresh is required. It can result in wasted
 debug sessions when you are running unexpected code!

 2. My more serious problem is: when an unhandled exception is thrown
 in library code, it doesn't tell me about the exception in an easy
 way. For example, today I had an exception raised, and it reported to
 me that it was coming from the GLThread.run method, from
 GLSurfaceView.java - so I went through the various hoops for getting
 the source code for Android onto my PC, so I could view
 GLSurfaceView.java, and saw the exception was coming from
 'guardedRun', which in turn was calling 'onDrawFrame', which in turn
 called out to my native render + update function (using the NDK),
 which in turn called back into my Java code to load some music, and
 *that* code then went onto attempt to access an array with an invalid
 index. None of this was shown in the callstack (only GLThread.run
 appeared there), instead I had to make my own version of GLSurfaceView
 that had some try/catch statements that caught the exception, and gave
 me a callstack of where the problem lies by using e.printStackTrace().
 Once I had the callstack, I was able to fix up the offending code. I
 don't remember having this problem before I made my code into a
 library - I thought previously exceptions were getting caught much
 earlier on. I am simply not remembering correctly? Or is there some
 limitation when using libraries? If I am not remembering correctly,
 clearly I just need to wrap my Java code that is being called from my
 native code with try/catch/print exception blocks so I can avoid this
 problem again.

 I look forward to your responses,

 Steve

[android-developers] Can I sign my app after it is built with platform

2011-01-23 Thread xeagle

Hi,

I read in SDK doc, Note that you can sign an .apk multiple times with
different keys.
I build my app with Android platform (not using SDK), and then sign
the result apk with my private certificate. I'd like know that whether
my apk contains right certificate. Is there any problem with my apk?
Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Pretty sure Google Analytics for Android not working

That would explain why I wasn't getting any data back.

I've already moved to Flurry though, so not going to switch back now :)

Yes, you can attach a lot of data to a Flurry event but i don't like how 
its tabulated. the params are buried a bit.
What I ended up doing was constructing my event string with 
the recurring values that would give me useful information.
That sounds a lot like what you would need to do with the GAnalytics library 
as well.

I did think Flurry was dead simply to use and I'm getting that data I was 
looking for.
So far it doesn't seem to be slowing down my users at all, so in general I'm 
happy enough.

What I recommend is that you pick some free app that you use for 
experimenting on (I tell my users that if i'm going to do any experimenting, 
i'm going to do it on the free version) and plug it in to see how you like 
it before switching everything over.

[android-developers] How to set a dynamic View size

Ok, I'm working on a custom view and having trouble with setting its size so 
it scales properly across devices.

In particular i want its fixed height to be relative to its width (of 
match_parent).

Something like this sudo code:

   View myview = new View(..);

myview.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(

  LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, (MATCH_PARENT / 4) * 3));


The goal would be to make the component height be 3/4's of the width.


This doesn't have to be done from outside. i.e. it could be done from inside 
the view, but I'm unsure what I need to override inside my 
view implementation to set the height. Set it too early and i may not yet 
have my width, set it to late and I may just end up on a resize race loop :)


So, my question is, what is the proper way to make a View dynamically sized 
at runtime in at least one of the dimensions?

[android-developers] Re: managing the apps in Android market

We have the same issue.

I actually set up a special account that is tied to the Company rather than 
an individual and using the company credit card.
Unfortunately you can't move your apps around, so hopefully you haven't 
already published :)

Our team is smaller, but for your team I think you should designate two 
people that can pair up to publish. If you have people specifically for QA, 
it would be those people who have the right to publish (as its their goal 
and responsibility to make sure the product works right).

[android-developers] Edit Bitmap Pixels in Native Code?

2011-01-23 Thread John Oliver

I've been able to edit bitmaps in the NDK with Bitmap_lockPixels(),
but that function only works on systems with 2.2 and above.

I've been trying desperately to get other solutions working for 2.1
and lower systems, but nothing has worked. I tried passing an
IntBuffer, but any attempts to edit the individual color integers
result in a crash (memory fault).

Can someone post a simple code example that can extract the ARGB
values for editing from a bitmap in the NDK?

I've found the Russian users the most demanding, not that there is
really anything really wrong with that, it's just you really have to
earn your 5 stars with some of the Russian guys.

I mean I had one guy start out with 2-stars on my app and slowely
worked his way up to 5 as I added some of his requests. I guess it's
a viable strategy to get the product features you want...

The app was tested and works fine (according to a few other users) on

it doesn't work.

The person never bothered to contact me directly or ask for a refund,
so it may just be someone that wanted pay so they could vote 1 star,
who knows.

I'm afraid it's a dog-eat-dog world out there for some people - very sad.
Having any way at all to respond to Market comments would be excellent...

I can attest to this also.  I had a user with an alpha Cyanogen
firmware that even crashed when creating the private database folder
(whichi is done by SQLite).  I spent hours debugging his stuff and
then finally he updated his FW and it started working.  So now every
time I get a weird problem like that, my first question is if they are
using a custom ROM.
