There's the rub. It's not one of mine.
I guess I'll just stamp on what I'm sure is the culprit and see if
that's it through oblique means.

Thanks for the help.

[android-developers] Why cant I install an apk from asset folder

2011-01-26 Thread Titus

Hello,

I have an X.apk which contains another Y.apk within is asset folder.
While X activity is trying to install the Y.apk android shows a
parsing error while installation. The Error message shown on the UI is
"There is a problem in parsing the package", while the adb logs shows
"WARN/PackageInstaller(270): Parse error when parsing manifest.
Discontinuing installation". The same Y.apk if i put in another
location (data/data/Y.apk) i can install fine from X.apk.

Is there a reason why Y.apk can't be put in asset folder ? or is there
a neater way to do this ?

thanks for your inputs,

2011-01-26 Thread Sarwar Erfan

What do you mean by "international SMS"? Please explain.


If you mean sending SMS to some other country, then there is no difference 
with sending SMS inside the country. 
You just specify the number in full format, i.e  +[Country code][Area 
code][Phone number]. You can also use 00 instead of +

But, it is upto your phone operator whether the SMS can be delivered or not. 
Not all operators can send SMS to all foreign operators.
But, if you can send SMS normally from Phone's sms option to that number, 
you can send from your application also.

Sarwar Erfan

Re: [android-developers] Renderscript documentation

2011-01-26 Thread Romain Guy

More detailed documentation will come :)

RenderScript is more than just a drawing API, it's also a programming
language, compiled on the device (and partly on the host with LLVM.)
RenderScript was designed for high performance. For instance, all the
allocations happen outside of the scripts, which allows the system to run
your scripts on multiple cores (CPU or GPU.)

[android-developers] Control rotation of a 3D object using the touchscreen

2011-01-26 Thread Mac

Hello all, I'm a 4th year computer engineering student and have some
experience with Android dev.

I am working on an application that has a 3D component to it which
requires me to be able to rotate it around. I was looking at the
example at the android resources site.

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/graphics/TouchRotateActivity.html

This example does not talk about rotation around the z-axis. I have
already tried using Quaternion for the rotations but I don't
understand how to get rotations around the z-axis

I was wondering if anyone can help me with learning how to just be
able to rotate around an object. like the example above but also
around the z-axis. I have already spend about 24 hours searching and
trying to figure this out.

The bigger issue is that once you rotate 90 degrees around the y-axis
how can you detect that the next rotation (going vertically on the
touchscreen) should be around the z-axis.

Thank you in advance.
Mac

[android-developers] How would you go about import an image from the users gallery and use it as a resource?

2011-01-26 Thread Travis Cornelius

I'm working on an app, and I would like to have the user be able to
use one of their pictures as a resource file for the app.  ex. one
activity would allow the user to select their picture, then click a
button and it opens a new activity that would have their select
picture as a background image for the activity.  There more to the
app, but this is the part I am stuck on.  Any help would be great.
PS. I have done a ton of those gallery tutorials where you can scroll
through pictures and select one and the picture goes full screen.
That is not what  I'm looking for, because those tutorials use images
that are stored in the /drawable folder, I want the user to be able to
select from the pictures they already.


A big THANKS to any help or points in the right direction.

for a while I have started working on game projects. My music is
mostly orchestral but I am very flexible (as can see form my demo
pieces). Feel free to contact me with any treatments – as I am looking
to expand my portfolio I will consider interesting project work for
FREE!

[android-developers] Re: Honeycomb SDK

2011-01-26 Thread ob1

It seems your question is answered.
I've just downloaded the Honeycomb SDK.

As with other emulator images, it seems to need restarting a few times
before you get the "3G" network connectivity.

[android-developers] how to get noticed when the My Location setting location service is enabled or disabled by user

2011-01-26 Thread hongjie

I have a Location service that runs in the background as long as the
the device is booted. I requested the network and gps provider update
by calling LocationManager requestLocationUpdate method, however, when
the My Location setting page is changed by enabling or disabling the
location service, the onProviderEnabled or on ProviderDisabled are
never called. So I want to know how could my background service got
notified everytime the user changes  the location setting? Can I do it
in a receiver mode which caches the broadcast message ?

[android-developers] Honeycomb browser broken?

2011-01-26 Thread James Pearce

Is it a known issue that the browser can barely render a page before
it crashes? (e.g. http://google.com)

I can load a very small page (e.g. http://metajam.mobi) but then not
follow any links.

On any other page, the last I ever see is something like http://cl.ly/4EHe
followed by a brief message about the activity browser not responding,
followed by the home screen again.

Thanks

[android-developers] Compatibility

2011-01-26 Thread Michael

Hi,

I've tested my app on two real devices (HTC Evo and Motorola Droid)
and the emulator and it works fine. However, some customers haven't
been able to properly open the app (Samsung Moment is one affected
device). I do not have any icons in the folders other than the
drawable-hdpi, so I'm wondering if thats the problem (with icons
displaying on lower resolutions etc). I've attached the manifest file.
Any help would be much appreciated!

[android-developers] Live folder firing custom intents

2011-01-26 Thread tubfish

I have created a Live Folder which should fire a custom intent when an
item is clicked.  The custom intent should be picked up by a Broadcast
receiver which is defined in my androidmanifest.xml file.

The custom intent is created and passed to the live folder using a
matrix cursor.

However when the intent is fired, it appears to be contained as data
within another intent (android.action.VIEW) and a toast displays the
message "application is not installed on your phone".

intent created:
MatrixCursor c;
String[] columnHeadings =
{LiveFolders._ID,LiveFolders.NAME,LiveFolders.DESCRIPTION,LiveFolders.INTENT};
c = new MatrixCursor(columnHeadings);

[android-developers] running a j2se applet on android?

2011-01-26 Thread giangiammy

Dear all,

I'm evaluating Android as a platform to run automation control
interfaces.
The client needs to use http://www.isagraf.com/index.htm which
produces a J2SE java applet,
(i have just the resulting jar, not the source code) which should run
on Android.

Looking around, I found http://www.microemu.org/ which builds a
wrapper around the jar of
a J2ME application, building an APK file to be run on android.

Is there anything similar to have a wrapper to run J2se java applets
on Android?
Is there any implementation of VM running on android, j2se compliant?

thanks
giammy

[android-developers] How to access the "Product Key" on Archos tablets?

2011-01-26 Thread Armond Avanes

Hi Folks,

I need to access the product key (or whatever unique device ID) of the
Archos devices. I've found the following API mentioned on Archos website
which should work on Archos5 series:
Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), "archos.product_key");

But it does not work on 101 tablets (returning NULL). Any clue?

Further Note: It seems that "Telephony.getDeviceId()" always returns NULL on
all Archos devices.

Thank you,
Armond

[android-developers] Problem with a remote service

2011-01-26 Thread Pablo.mj

Hi everyone,
I tried again and again to put on a remote service by means of an AIDL
interface and I need some help.
On the one hand, I have a project in which I specified the AIDL
interface in a myFile.aidl file that generated an myFile.java. In
addition, I implemented a Service in which a implement the method of
the interface.


private final IAdditionService.Stub myBinder=new
IAdditionService.Stub()
   {
  //Implementation of the add() method
  public int add(int value1, int value2) throws RemoteException
  {
   Log.d(TAG, String.format("AdditionService.add(%d,
%d)",value1, value2));
   return value1 + value2;
   }
};


All of these files (.aidl and his generated java file, and the
service) are inside a package called com.package1


Now, I want to use this service in another project. So, I have an
activity in a package called com.package2.
In this activity, I want to do a bindService or an startService for
example, and the question is:
What I need to include in this second project?
I need import the package1?
I need to create a package called also com.package1 and to put inside
a java interface?
I need to create a package called also com.package1 and to put inside
the aidl file?
Maybe some extra information in the manifest?
I've read several links but I don't found the solution and I'm so
saturaded at this moment? Some advice?
A lot of thanks,
Pablo.

[android-developers] openFileOutput, FileNotFoundException

Hi!
I've read most available post for this exception with openFileOutput,
and it seem to be a common issue. Though, i can't find a solution.
This code throughs a FileNotFoundException on the row "fos =
openFileOutput(fil, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);". Why? I can't figure it
out. Thanks!


import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class firstActivity extends Activity {
public firstActivity(){
}
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.maininterface);


String fil = "test2";
String string = "exempeltext";

FileOutputStream fos;

fos = openFileOutput(fil, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

fos.write(string.getBytes());
fos.close();
}
}

[android-developers] Accessing starred places in google maps account

2011-01-26 Thread Brian

Can someone point me in the right direction on going about accessing
the list of starred places in a user's google maps that is linked to
their account? For instance if you log in, on a PC or your phone, you
can browse places and star them. The PC and phone will sync the
starred places so you can see them on either location.

I need a way to get access to this list for my app. I need to be able
to retrive the list and/or even add to it. I've been searching and can
not find any reference and need some guidance.
Thanks!

I'm also having no luck with intent URIs.  It would be very helpful if
someone could post an example href that launched some common app, e.g.

Intent
url
but that doesn't work.  I've tried a lot of variations on it, and so
far they all either get a 404 from the browser or crash the browser.

[android-developers] Providing 2 differing interfaces to a remoteService

2011-01-26 Thread Dale Harvey

I have an application that provides a remoteService that is defined
through an .aidl generated interface, this all works great, completely
seperate applications just need to bundle the .aidl and they can
control the service in a specific way

However I want the sevice to provide an extra API when it is bound to
the application that it ships with, which is an administrative
interface.

The administrative interface still needs to perform the usual
bidirectional communication that remoteService lets me use but with
additional calls in the api that arent provided to other packages

Since the service and activity that starts it are in the same package
I have tried various setups of singletons and static interfaces to no
avail (there is state involved so a pure static interface isnt enough)
however none of these have worked, I can get round it with various
nasty ways through Application variables / talk through the filesystem
however I was wondering if it was possible in a cleaner way.

Thanks
Dale Harvey

already developed app, soon to be developed app, or pitfalls in app
development. Please feel free to email me. I will try to organize a
time and place here in Tallahassee if enough interest is shown.

[android-developers] App can not start after I change the package name !!

2011-01-26 Thread Jar

Hi, everyone, I have to change a app's package name for different
market.

But after I changed the app's package name, when I start the app, it
shows this message:

"The Application(process com.AAA.BBB) has stopped unexpectedly, Please
try again."

The original packname is COM.AAA. I have changed all the package name
within the java files and there is no error in the java files.

The way I used is :

1. To modify the package name in the AndroidManifest.xml.
2. To change the folder name of src/com.AAA to src/com.AAA.BBB

So How can I solve this problem ... thank you all so much...

[android-developers] Smooth animation and GC

2011-01-26 Thread Odd

Hi,



I am fairly new as an android programmer (although I have many years
experience in C++).  I have a question regarding the smooth animation
of objects when drawing on a canvas using SurfaceView using a separate
rendering thread.

For the sake of discussion, let's say I have a ShapeDrawable 'sd' that
I want to move smoothly across the screen.  My first attempt at this
was to decide its position using the sd.setBounds(int, int, int, int)
and then call sd.draw(Canvas).  This works fine, and I get an
excellent framerate (~60FPS), but movement is still a bit jerky due to
the fact that setBounds() does not take floating point values
(resulting in the smallest possible move being at least one whole
pixel.

My next attempt was to shift the canvas itself rather than calling
sd.SetBounds(), using a transformation matrix.  This can be done with
floating point values, and the animation becomes visibly smoother, but
now I have another problem: garbage collection.

It seems as if, when I use a matrix to shift the canvas, there is some
memory allocation going on behind the scenes.  It does not seem to
matter whether I use the matrix that comes with the canvas or if I
supply my own preallocated one - as soon as I am changing the matrix
content, logcat shows me that the garbage collector becomes active
every 250 frame or so.  This does not happen when I use the
setBounds() approach - only when I use the matrix approach.

Each time the garbage collector kicks in, there's an annoying drop in
framerate.  I have not figured out a way to avoid this.

My question is therefore threefold:
1) Is there a way to place a ShapeDrawable (or any other Drawable) on
the canvas, using sub-pixel precision?
2) Is there a way to handle matrix transformations where you have
control of the allocation/deallocation of memory? (so that you can
prevent the garbage collector from regularly kicking in).
3) If the answer is 'no' to both above, is there another/better way to
obtain smooth sprite animation?

Thanks,
Odd

[android-developers] Battery usage indicator

2011-01-26 Thread Dillon Yang

Are their currently any API's that can allow developers to track what
applications are using the battery?

Like if I am writing an application, I want to know how much battery
my application is consuming in a period of time, how do I accomplish
this?

I've searched the API but it only has the batteryMonitor which does
not provide the identity of application that uses battery.

[android-developers] Re: android: a redundant UI syntax ?

2011-01-26 Thread Hari Edo



This is pretty common with XML systems with a lot of tags, especially
if they're meant to be expanded or mashed up.

If you create your own View types, you can extend the XML DTD to
include
your namespace.  Third-party libraries can add all of their features
with their own namespace.  It's the combination of these namespaces
and
DTD rules that allow the XML scanning process to find errors or
mistyped
parameter names.  No namespace, weaker protection from errors.

You might see the official reply in this bug tracker entry:

[android-developers] seeing GENERIC_FAILURE in logs of network selection

2011-01-26 Thread Bryan Clark

Hi -

I'm trying to debug why my phone doesn't seem to like connecting to
roaming networks and I'm hoping someone can help me make a little more
sense of the radio debug logs I'm seeing.

I'm running a Nexus One with Android 2.2.2.  I have a Canadian service
provider, WIND Mobile, and when I travel to the states I roam on the T-
Mobile network.  If I drive to the states I can roam on T-Mobile for a
certain amount of time however if my phone disconnects from the
network it won't successfully be able to reconnect.  Similarly if I
fly into the states my phone won't connect at all.  It seems as if
when I'm handed off from WIND to T-Mobile the connection works and
otherwise it won't.  Otherwise it works correctly on my home network.


I'm seeing the GENERIC_FAILURE initially at [015] when I believe it
tries to automatically select the correct network.  At [0026] ->
[0033] you see some SIM_IO errors which make me wonder if there's an
issue with my SIM card that's possibly causing this.  Again you see
SIM_IO errors at [0052] and [0058].  And finally at [0059] you see
REQUEST_GET_NEIGHBORING_CELL_IDS producing failures a few times in a
row.


here's the radio log from a fresh reboot:

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.getAttachedDbs() returns

android.os.AsyncTask onCancelled() uses the UK spelling of the word
where everywhere else in the API, the US spelling variations are
used.  It's not just Canceled vs. Cancelled, but *ize vs. *ise.

[android-developers] How to access the "Product Key" on Archos tablets?

Hi Folks,

I need to access the product key (or whatever unique device ID) of the

which should work on Archos5 series:
Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), "archos.product_key");

But it does not work on 101 tablets (returning NULL). Any clue?

Further Note: It seems that "Telephony.getDeviceId()" always returns NULL on
all Archos devices.

[android-developers] Android Market filter problems

2011-01-26 Thread Naftali

Hi guys.

I'm new to the group, so I don't know if anyone ever asked this.

Anyway, I recently created a game (Save Da Whale) using AndEngine and
made it available at the Android Market. The only filter my game has
is android.hardware.touchscreen.

It wasn't supposed to have any problems. But some customers have
reported that they cannot see the game using their device.

The devices that showed the problem are Xperia X10 (with custom rom
2.2) and Motorola Cliq XT (also with custom rom 2.1). They both have
touchscreen, so I think it wouldn't be the problem.

Anyone might know why are these devices being filtered?

PS.: They can download other apps, such as Adobe Flash, normally.

Thank you in advance,
Naftali

[android-developers] Input text-field hidden behind keyboard in Air 2 app

2011-01-26 Thread Sangram Patil

Hi,

We have created a Adobe Air 2 app for Android 2.2 devices and
installed on Samsung Galaxy.

When we enter the text in the input text-field, the text filed is
getting behind the keyboard and the user can not see the text being
entered. Initially when the user sets focus to input text-field, the
device keyboard is opened with the app being shifted so as to make the
input text-field visible within top area. But as soon as user starts
keying in text, the app restores to normal view and the text field is
hidden behind keyboard.

Is it possible to make the current input text field visible even when
the text is being entered?

[android-developers] Intent filter to catch links from SMS doesn't work

2011-01-26 Thread Vincent

Hi all,

I actually already asked this question on StackOverflow but I didn't
get any answer that could help me solve the problem.
Here is the thing.

What I want to do is to define a URI like myapp://some_data in a
intent filter. And when this kind of URI is met in a SMS or email,
clicking on it would open myapp.
I found on StackOverflow the way to do it. Here is my code:








However it does not work. Actually, if I have such a link in a SMS, it
is not clickable...so of course clicking on it does nothing.
If instead of android:scheme="myapp" I am using android:scheme="http"
it does work. When I click on the link, Android asks the user whether
to open it with Browser or myapp and it simply works because the link
is clickable (http web adress is always clickable).

What should I do to make my link myapp://some_data clickable in a SMS/
email ? As the intent filter works with http, I guess it can work with
myapp as a scheme.

Thanks a lot.

Vincent

[android-developers] How to create contact list view plug-in?

2011-01-26 Thread Xi Shen

Hi,

This is the function I want to implement:

>From the contact list view, when you click on the contact's image, a
small panel will fly in with buttons. I want to add a button to that
panel and also get the contact's information when my button is
clicked.

Is it possible? What API/topic should I look for?

[android-developers] Views with the same dip width number have different widths in appearance

2011-01-26 Thread Michael Smith

Hello,
I have a horizontal linear layout separated with lines like the following:

 *   *

In the layout editor, the lines have the same width, however, on the device
they do not - the third line in the layout below is slightly wider than the
other two. I'm wondering if there is an explanation for this or a way around
it.

Here is what the layout looks like:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  android:background="@drawable/customized_title_bar_button"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:orientation="horizontal"
>
  
  
**

 *   *

 *   *

  


Thanks,

Mike

[android-developers] Preferences screen won't rotate

2011-01-26 Thread Jay Bryant

I have a vanilla preferences screen with just a few preferences.
Here's the XML that defines it:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>









I've compared it to a number of samples I've found on the web, and
I've Googled around, but I've not found anything that would cause my
problem, which is this: When I rotate my phone, the preferences page
doesn't arrange itself into a landscape display. I tried it on a
friend's Android-powered phone and hers didn't rotate either. Other
apps on my phone rotate their preferences pages correctly, but mine
doesn't. What have I missed?

It does rotate correctly in the emulator.

Thanks much.

[android-developers] simple image question from a noob

2011-01-26 Thread TJ

I am trying to create a very simple application that displays an image
when you click a button.  I have searched and done "trial and error"
for days and have not come up with a solution.  I have the  PNG image
in the drawable folder.  I feel like an idiot but am frustrated by not
being able to solve this on my own.  Thank you for your time.

[android-developers] Smooth animation and GC

2011-01-26 Thread Odd

Hi,



I am fairly new as an android programmer (although I have many years
experience in C++).  I have a question regarding the smooth animation
of objects when drawing on a canvas using SurfaceView using a separate
rendering thread.

For the sake of discussion, let's say I have a ShapeDrawable 'sd' that
I want to move smoothly across the screen.  My first attempt at this
was to decide its position using the sd.setBounds(int, int, int, int)
and then call sd.draw(Canvas).  This works fine, and I get an
excellent framerate (~60FPS), but movement is still a bit jerky due to
the fact that setBounds() does not take floating point values
(resulting in the smallest possible move being at least one whole
pixel.

My next attempt was to shift the canvas itself rather than calling
sd.SetBounds(), using a transformation matrix.  This can be done with
floating point values, and the animation becomes visibly smoother, but
now I have another problem: garbage collection.

It seems as if, when I use a matrix to shift the canvas, there is some
memory allocation going on behind the scenes.  It does not seem to
matter whether I use the matrix that comes with the canvas or if I
supply my own preallocated one - as soon as I am changing the matrix
content, logcat shows me that the garbage collector becomes active
every 250 frame or so.  This does not happen when I use the
setBounds() approach - only when I use the matrix approach.

Each time the garbage collector kicks in, there's an annoying drop in
framerate.  I have not figured out a way to avoid this.

My question is therefore threefold:
1) Is there a way to place a ShapeDrawable (or any other Drawable) on
the canvas, using sub-pixel precision?
2) Is there a way to handle matrix transformations where you have
control of the allocation/deallocation of memory? (so that you can
prevent the garbage collector from regularly kicking in).
3) If the answer is 'no' to both above, is there another/better way to
obtain smooth sprite animation?

Thanks,
Odd

[android-developers] android: a redundant UI syntax ?

2011-01-26 Thread Naren

Hi,
I am a beginner to android development and wanted to ask a question to
the developer community.

What is the significance of specifying "android:" in front of every
attribute.?

be it view or layout, I know that I am already in android, then I feel
its kind of redundant to prefix an attribute with android colon.





Cant this be expressed as follows?




However the one reason that I can think of is specifying the package
name (android:) as a prefix to resource will help to retrieve the
resource easilly. But still, this need not be prefixed in every
attribute. This should have been able to be specified in only one
header or similar at the top.

I think this might help in bringing down the code size and also for a
quicker parsing.

Let me know if I am missing something.

Thank you

Further,
the attributes itself also can be very well shortened.
ex:width as "w" height as "h" and layout_width as "lw" and
layout_height as "lh"

Thank you,
Naren P

[android-developers] ts-lib to enable touch?

2011-01-26 Thread Buing

I would like have a lcd-monitor in my kitchen, with apps for music,
foodtips, surfing the web and grocery lists and the idea is to run
this on android with a touchscreen.  I allready own a touch-lcd
screen
so
i surfed the web and found out that there was somthing called
Beaglebord xM and there was pepole who runs android on that board. So
i ordered a board and attached the lcd-monitor to it.

I have also got Android 2.2 from the TI_Android_FroYo_DevKit-V2 up
and
running.


BUT as it seems to be quite impossible for me to get the touch-part
working, i try a final aproach and ask this group what to do?


Im not in any way familiar with kernel development under Linux, so to
all you who answers me, please have  have that in mind.


I can see that /dev/input/event1 and /dev/input/mouse0 is beeing used
by the touch, because if i do a "cat" command on one of those in the
console ill get a lot of garbage on the console when i touch the
screen.


If you have compiled a kernel that works with touch for the xM board
and a tslib (if ill need that for android) or know where i can find
it, please let me know.


Next best is a page who describe the steps, verry exactly and ill try
that.


As i have searched the internet for this problem, ill found out that
i
need to recompile the kernel with some changes, but i do not know
what
the changes are, in witch files or if its more than the kernel who
need to be recompiled. Here im stuck. Compiling under linux is new to
me and ill have only just started with java, so i want to use Andrid
for my tryouts for apps making.


I can not in my life understand why there is a Android package
without
touch support out there att all, so at the  moment im quite sorry
that
i bought this card. So please help me, or ill connet it to my TV so i
can surf from the livingroom.

Sorry for the multiple posts; I just saw Samsyn's response.

I did mean to make it loop infinitely, thinking it might eventually
play.

I also made it call the play function several times in a row and even
had a 15 sec delay in between calls to the play() function, but it
would simply toast that it had played unsuccessfully.

[android-developers] Re: Android C++ Development with Visual Studio

2011-01-26 Thread Dean Horak

If you're going to do C++ development, then you'll want to use the
NDK.
(see http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html)

You can use VS as a glorified text editor, but the builds will
ultimately have to be done using the tools supplied in the NDK. If
you're feeling adventurous, you could probably configure your project
in VS to execute the NDK build tools within your project settings as
well, although I'm not sure how much work that would be.

[android-developers] How to create contact list view plug-in?

2011-01-26 Thread Xi Shen

Hi,

This is the function I want to implement:

>From the contact list view, when you click on the contact's image, a
small panel will fly in with buttons. I want to add a button to that
panel and also get the contact's information when my button is
clicked.

Is it possible? What API/topic should I look for?

[android-developers] multiple rendererActivity classes instances problem

2011-01-26 Thread blackMasoon

Hi everyone!

I'm totally new to Android but I'm an experienced game developer. That
is why I want to create a 3D game using min3d framework. My problem
was that I couldn't pass the" scene" parameter through objects of many
classes like Game, Player and GameActivity. Probably it was because
each class extends RendererActivity and creating an instance of one
inside another running is unavailable. I found something like:
Looper.prepare(); and now there's no problem with creating objects
from these classes, but now suddenly getResources method stopped
working and returns nullPointerException in the place where I parse 3D
object file. That part of code was good because the path to the model
resource was correct and the app was working when there was no multi
class structure What may be the problem here?

[android-developers] Suggested Android Phone for Unity Game Development Testing?

2011-01-26 Thread HV-Charley

Hey everyone,

I'm new to Android development and am looking to sort out what I
should be getting as a development device for non-emulator testing
purposes. Naturally, my goal would be to get a device that best
represents the most common end-user device looking ahead to the next
4-12 months when our first title(s) are likely to be released.

Of course, there are a host of devices out there, and analyzing the
direction of the market is entirely speculative. Nonetheless, I'm
pretty much just looking to make the most informed choice I can and
then will work around the other details.

My limited research on phone penetration has been a bit inconclusive.
Nonetheless, these were the components that I’ve been trying to take
into account:

--ARMv7 ENABLED--
Given that we will be developing with Unity, it appears that I will
need to get an ARMv7 enabled phone (per the post below):
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/73598-Before-you-buy-Android-for-Unity-ARMv6-and-what-you-should-know.

--UNITY TESTED PHONES--
Per Unity's site, they specifically cite a few phones that they have
tested extensively. Ideally the target phone would be found among this
list (presumably Unity was looking at market penetration as well)

http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/android
Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Motorola Droid X, HTC Droid Incredible, HTC
EVO 4G, Samsung Galaxy S

--ANDROID PLATFORM VERSION--
Unity requires 2.0+. Per the oft-referenced platform versions site:

http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html

It looks like 2.2 is the current standard, and will likely persist
given that there is a substantial foundation of users that are now
working with that version. So, naturally, it seems I’ll want a phone
that is 2.2 enabled.

--EXISTING PHONES--
My business partners have a Motorola Droid X and HTC EVO 4G as their
personal phones. While we’ll ultimately test on those devices, we’d
like to have one phone entirely devoted to being a development device.

I know that’s a fair amount of data, but I’d like to try and make the
most informed decision I can given the circumstances. Still learning
the ins and outs.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you may be able to provide!

[android-developers] Re: Soundpool.play() fails, returns 0, Playing From Widget

2011-01-26 Thread LysolPionex

My phone is a SE Xperia X10i.  But this doesn't play in the debug
emulator nor on my phone.  I'm sure it's the code.  The only thing I
could think of was perhaps android 1.6 (the target platform) couldn't
play sounds from a widget, but I think mine did when it was on 1.6.

[android-developers] Re: android - serial port API?

2011-01-26 Thread soupdog

You could use the NDK and expose a simple open/read/write/close
interface via JNI.  Then you could take it a step further by deriving
new classes from InputStream and OutputStream that call the JNI
methods, allowing you to use UART comms transparently wherever you can
use InputStream and OutputStream.  I've done that for USB host mode
comms.  Only catch is whether you would have read/write privileges for
the tty node.  For USB, I did not, because the usbfs was mounted
readonly for non-root users, so I needed to root the device, which is
why this wouldn't work for an app that I intend to publish.  But it
was fun to get it working and communicate with an external device over
USB from my app!

I suspect future revisions of the Android SDK will include a USB API,
especially with more android tablets coming out featuring USB Host or
OTG.  Serial APIs are probably less likely, but of course you could
use a USB-to-serial converter for peripherals with a UART and no USB.

[android-developers] Change Resolution Policy when screen orientation changes

2011-01-26 Thread Jeff

I have a Live Wallpaper using AndEngine which has several small images
floating around the screen. I can set the initial screen orientation
and RatioResolutionPolicy without any problems, but if I rotate the
screen (or slide the the keyboard on some devices) and trigger a
ScreenOrientation change, the ratio is off because it's trying to
stretch each image since the ratio has changed. I.E. the width is
originally 480 and height is originally 720, so 720/480 = 1.5, but
when the screenorientation changes/rotates, the images try to fit into
480/720 ratio (0.67).

I have confirmed onResume is called when the screen is rotated, but
there doesn't appear to be a way to re-set the Engine using the new
height/width.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Built-in resource unexpectedly not found

2011-01-26 Thread Mark Carter

In this particular example, it's not a simple case of copying
the primary_text_light.xml to the app's resource structure because that file
references "private" built-in resources.

How best to handle that!?

[android-developers] Re: Built-in resource unexpectedly not found

2011-01-26 Thread Bob Kerns

Just to be very clear about it -- given the current reality, I suggest
viewing all firmware-defined resources as, well, infirm.

I'm just saying this is something which OUGHT to have been done
better, and could still be, by the platform team -- including the
tricky task of getting the OEMs on board to not screw it up.

This is a long way from happening, and I would predict it NEVER
happens. If *I* were in charge, that would be a different matter...

I'm not claiming it's easy, either.
