You could implement your own filter, by overriding getFilter() in your 
adapter, and implementing a Filter that does what you want.


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Filterable.html#getFilter()

(various adapter classes implement Filterable)

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Filter.html

(this is what does the filtering)

Is there a way to force AutoCompleteTextView so if user type in

so it would show standard letter and international letter (C and Č/Ć,

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to sort HashMap?


It should *really* be:

ArrayListyourItemClassNameHere list = new 
ArrayListyourItemClassNameHere();


This is type safe, as the array above knows that it keeps a list of 
yourItemClassName - whereas plain ArrayList only knows that it keeps a 
list of Object's.


The angle brackets above is a sign of a *generic* class, you should 
learn more about them, and btw, your previous code with HashMaps also 
used them.


Plenty of tutorials on this exist, this one seems pretty good:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java

Oh, and as for the runtime error - start by checking the logcat.

Re: [android-developers] WiFi Error/Unable to connect in AVD


Kim,

I have a *very* WiFi specific application, and never knew you could get 
*any* support for WiFi in the emulator!


FWIW, I implemented my own emulation code, so I could use the emulator 
to test the UI on various screen sizes:

About a month ago I stopped being able to test my app on the AVDs
because it would not connect to WiFi. My app uses WiFi heavily.
When I open a 2.1 AVD and go into Settings|Wireless and Networks and
click on Wi-Fi it says Unable to connect to wifi. In a 2.2 AVD it just
says Error.
Additional info: I went to another computer that I was using last fall
for development and it has the same problem. I never updated it, so I
don't think it is related to HoneyComb, Samsung Tab add-in or any
other newer update. They are both on the same LAN.
I know I must be doing something dumb.
Any ideas? I have been doing all of my debugging on actual devices
lately, so I didn't think much of it, but now I would like to do some
screenshots.

[android-developers] Re: How to develop new android apps considering that the app will also be developed for other phones

2011-02-02 Thread Hogus

There are plenty of platform out there that attempt this. Having tried
many, and even having been involved in building frameworks to cover
multiple devices I don't recommend any of them unless you are doing
really trivial applications or you are in a position to negotiate
enterprise level support with the provider. A framework is no use to
you unless there is someone there to jump in and fix the issues you
are bound to have with it.

What you can do is to write pretty general code across the various
Java environments (Android, Symbian, Blackberry). Bearing in mind that
even for each of these platform the API's vary from one generation to
another. You can then take this general code and hook it up to the
UI / threading model associated with ever platform / generation.

If you're going for games the most general thing you can do is to pick
the lowest supported OpenGL revision for your render loops. Then at
least porting this code between the platforms becomes pretty easy.

But as always I recommend starting small on one platform that you can
easily support, and expanding outwards from there.

[android-developers] Get RSSI of surrounding wireless networks

2011-02-02 Thread Schoel

Hi,

Is it possible to get the RSSI of surrounding wireless networks
without doing a full scan? I need periodic updates about surrounding
networks perhaps every 5 seconds. Can't do a scan that often. Using
aidl would work if the info is available anywhere.

Re: [android-developers] Get RSSI of surrounding wireless networks

The results of a most recent scan are available by calling 
getScanResults, even if your application didn't start a scan, that's 
probably the best you can do without initiating a scan.


However, if there is an active connection, then AFAIK, Android doesn't 
initiate scans on its own. If there is none, and WiFi is enabled, it 
does periodic scans looking for known networks, but not as often as 5 
seconds.


Also scanning, I believe, is an explicit process that has to be 
initiated with the WiFi radio chip, it doesn't just happen as a side 
product of it being enabled.


So - in short - no. If you need to reliably get surrounding networks, 
you've got to initiate scanning, or rethink why you need it so often.

[android-developers] Can't properly stop a thread

2011-02-02 Thread Serdel

In my application I am connecting to a server and downloading some
things. Not much but the connection it self takes a while. Off course
this is done in a thread (class that implements runnable). If some
error occurs, the thread sends a message to the UI using a Handler and
the UI displays an dialog window.

My problem is that I can't stop the thread in the UI properly. For
example if during the connection I would press the 'home' button on
the phone, after some seconds I get an error saying that my
application couldn't create a dialog window (because it is not running
anymore). That means that my thread was not stopped and kept on
working until an error (i.e. timeout) occurred and tried to send a
massege to the UI by a handler.

to Stop the thread I have a function that I found:

  public synchronized Thread stopThread(Thread thr){
  if(thr != null){
Thread temp = thr;
  thr = null;
temp.interrupt();
  }
  return thr;
}

And I use it like:

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
   senderTh= stopThread(senderTh);
   finish();
}

Why this doesn't stop my Thread? How can I do it from the UI?

Re: [android-developers] Can't properly stop a thread


Adam,

interrupt() doesn't necessarily stop a thread right then and there. It 
sets an internal flag, which can be checked with isInterrupted(). If 
your thread happens to call wait() or sleep(), then this flag will be 
turned into an InterruptedException. Also this flag is reset after 
isInterrupted() returns true.


Given this, it might be better to implement your own flag that tells the 
thread that it should stop what it's doing and exit.


However, if the thread is inside a network call, it might not see the 
flag for a while. So one other fix is needed - add code to your thread 
(such as setting the handler to null) that tells it that the UI has gone 
away, and that it shouldn't try to update it.


You could also use AsyncTask rather than rolling your own thread, which 
has a method to cancel. Note however that prior to 2.2., this method has 
a race condition, and may occasionally not work properly.

[android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check

2011-02-02 Thread Danny S.

Today I read this on googles documentation:

Broadcast Receivers listening for boot completed
The system delivers the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast before the
external storage is mounted to the device. If your application is
installed on the external storage, it can never receive this
broadcast.

I don't know why it worked in past, cause I used the same device
(emulator) with sdcard all the time, but this seems to be the reason
why this broadcast is never received. Now I have 2 possibilities:

1. remove the possibility to install the app on external storage (I
wanted to support App2SD...). Then the broadcast should be received.
2. find another indicator to start my service, e.g.
ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE (I prefer this, are you with
me?)
3. Do you have an other idea?

Detailled infos: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html

What would you do?

Thanks a lot!

   Danny,

Your app's manifest for the broadcast action, as well as the permission,
look fine.

When you start the emulator, make sure you don't have Wipe user data
enabled, as that will erase the application, so it won't be available at
boot.

Other than that, maybe you're just not seeing the logcat message? Try
doing something more visible, like a notification or starting an 
activity.

 Hi Kostya,

 I removed the category, but have still the same issue: boot completed
 is never recognized. You said you dont see the other action. I create
 the Broadcast- Intent and put it into PendingIntent.getBroadcast(),
 without a action in AndroidManifest:
 ...
 alertReceiverIntent = new Intent(this, AlertReceiver.class);
 alarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, task.getId(),
 alertReceiverIntent, 0);
 // insert a new alert
 mAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, deliverTime, alarmSender);
 ...

 The receiver is used like expected, onReceive() is called, but never
 when the device came up.
 I can try using a second receiver if it is ever possible, only for
 boot recognization.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check

Danny,

According to this:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE

The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST contains a list of packages
whose availability changed. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST
contains a list of uids of packages whose availability changed. *Note
that the packages in this list do not receive this broadcast.*

So you might want to run some tests before relying on this broadcast.

I see that Mark Murphy submitted a documentation bug for this:

Danny,
Your app's manifest for the broadcast action, as well as the permission,
look fine.
When you start the emulator, make sure you don't have Wipe user data
enabled, as that will erase the application, so it won't be available at
boot.
Other than that, maybe you're just not seeing the logcat message? Try
doing something more visible, like a notification or starting an activity.

[android-developers] Default local charset/encoding?

2011-02-02 Thread mort

Is there a way to get the default local charset/encoding for a device?
I.e., I'd like to get e.g. ISO-8859-1, windows-1251, ISO-2022-CN, or
whatever is common in the device's default locale (and supported by
the device), not UTF-8 like Charset.defaultCharset() or
System.getProperty(file.encoding) will return.
Reason is, I'd like to read text files the user creates on his desktop
PC, which, sadly, most of the times still use the old local
encodings... While of course it's useful to offer an encoding
selection (which I'll offer in the preferences), it'd be nice if the
most likely encoding would be used by default...

 According to this:

  The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_PACKAGE_LIST contains a list of packages
  whose availability changed. The extra data EXTRA_CHANGED_UID_LIST
  contains a list of uids of packages whose availability changed. *Note
  that the packages in this list do not receive this broadcast.*

 So you might want to run some tests before relying on this broadcast.

  1. remove the possibility to install the app on external storage (I

[android-developers] Re: How to sort HashMap?

2011-02-02 Thread DanH

An alternative is to put your HashMaps into a regular HashMap[] array
and then use Arrays.sort.  Create an external Comparator class that is
roughly:
class MyComparator implements Comparator {
public int compare(HashMap o1, HashMap o2) {
   Integer key1 = (Integer) o1.get(age);
   Integer key2 = (Integer) o2.get(age);
   return key1 - key2;
}
}

(This can just be an extra method and interface added to your current
class, and then use your this pointer for the Comparator in sort().
Or you can define and instantiate a new class.)

On Feb 1, 10:12 pm, DanH danhi...@ieee.org wrote:

 You need to spin through the list of HashMaps and extract age from

[android-developers] Account name with spaces throws Exception on Android 2.2

2011-02-02 Thread marten

Hello,

there seems to be some changes from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 which
throws an Exception when contact account names have spaces.
I use the following code:

mEntityUri = ContactsContract.Groups.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
.appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.Groups.ACCOUNT_NAME,
mAccountName)
.appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.Groups.ACCOUNT_TYPE,
mAccountType)
.appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER,
true)
.build();

and later (with the same values):

ContentProviderOperation.Builder builder =
ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(mEntityUri);
Log.v(TAG, create accountgroup: +mAccountType+, +mAccountName);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Groups.ACCOUNT_TYPE, mAccountType);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Groups.ACCOUNT_NAME, mAccountName);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Groups.SYSTEM_ID, mAccountName);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE, mAccountName);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Groups.GROUP_VISIBLE, 1);
mBatchOperation.add(builder.build());

mBatchOperation.execute(); // this is line 133 in GroupManager.java

On Android 2.1 this code works fine on Android 2.2 this works fine as
long as there are no spaces in mAccountName.
If there are spaces the following Exception is thrown:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: When both specified, ACCOUNT_NAME
and ACCOUNT_TYPE must match; URI:
content://com.android.contacts/groups?account_name=Home%20Address%20Bookaccount_type=org.dmfs.carddav.accountcaller_is_syncadapter=true,

BatchOperations is implemented following the example in

resolveAccount from ContactsProvider2.java uses a different check now,
maybe the %20 is not properly replaced.

Is there a known work-around (aside from removing spaces in the
account
name)?

[android-developers] Re: to GUI gurus：a question about dialog window and activity

2011-02-02 Thread alligator

There are at least 2 ways to display a dialog in an activity.
One is to call showDialog, which is managed by the class Activiy. In
this case, to understand the dialog is restored by
onSaveInstanceState / onRestoreInstanceState.
I believed u are talking about this scenrio.

The other is to AlertDialog, with codes like:
Dialog dialog=new AlertDialog.Builder(mctx)
.setTitle(about)
.setMessage(...)
.setPositiveButton(OK, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int 
whichButton)
{
return;
}
})
.create();
dialog.show();
What I am talking about is this scenario.

 Dialogs are managed by Activity class inside the Android framework.

 If a dialog is shown with showDialog(id, [bundle]), it's remembered by
 Activity as being visble, and will be saved by Activity at the same time
 as your onSaveInstanceState / onRestoreInstanceState are called (if you
 have those overrides).

 This means that managed dialogs survive orientation changes, as well as
 the activity being destroyed and re-created when the user comes back to
 it (such as with the list of recent applications, called up by [Home]
 long press).

 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html

 AFAIK, there is no way to check whether a a given dialog is on the
 screen, although the framework certainly knows this.

Re: [android-developers] Re: to GUI gurus：a question about dialog window and activity

showDialog and AlertDialog.Builder are orthogonal (independent).

You can create a managed dialog with Builder (by using it inside
onCreateDialog) or an unmanaged dialog using new Dialog(), etc.

Now with this being said, your code below creates an unmanaged dialog,
and if you want it to persist through activity being recreated, you've
got to write code to do it yourself.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Can't properly stop a thread


Adam,

Thread not stopping right away is normal, since a thread is there so it 
can do its own thing.


Just make sure that your thread function checks the handler or a boolean 
flag or whatever as often as it can, and stops after it's been set - 
this includes before connecting.


You can also close the socket from the UI thread, which will cause the 
current network operation in the worker to fail with an IO exception.

working, trying to connect and only after finishing that it can 'see'
that it was stopped from outside and doesn't want to communicate with

[android-developers] disabled EditText display glitch (Android 2.2)?

2011-02-02 Thread Vertifi

Hello,

Disabled EditText fields (android:enabled=false) have a horizontal
line being drawn through them.

Created simple test app using standard Eclipse wizard, added EditText
for main.xml layout as follows:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
 TextView  android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=@string/hello /
 EditText android:id=@+id/edittest
android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=44dp
android:enabled=false /
/LinearLayout

The field is grayed out, as expected, but also a horizontal line
through the middle, on Nexus One (2.2.2), Motorola Droid (2.2.1), but
NOT on Samsung Galaxy (2.1).

Help in understand where this is coming from would be much
appreciated.

[android-developers] DroidX adding or editing contact problem

2011-02-02 Thread dmtrl...@gmail.com

Hi all,

I have a question about adding or editing contact on DroidX.

This is my code for starting standard Add Contact activity

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, + + data);

But after returning on my activity by Save I have
Activity.Result_CANCEL and no data(but contact saved in contact list).
Whats wrong I made? On Galaxy S all works fine. Logs show me this:

[android-developers] Bluetooth activation Alert dialog multiplication after screen rotation

2011-02-02 Thread Zeljko Devcic

I have encountered strange issue. From Activity I request Bluetooth
activation and 120s discoverability via intent:

Intent activateBTIntent = new
Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE);
startActivityForResult(activateBTIntent, BT_ACTIVATE_INTENT);

I use it no matter if the Bluetooth is already activated or not.
Android documentation says that Bluetooth will be activated if it was
not, and that works fine. In both cases I get system Alert dialog
saying

Bluetooth permission request: An application on your phone is
requesting permission to turn on Bluetooth and ...

When I rotate the screen I observe flickering. Press on Yes/No removes
one dialog, but there is still another one below. Performing screen
rotation I can get a pile of Alert dialogs, and have to press Yes/No
on each to get rid of them.

Described issue is present only if Bluetooth was not already started
when intent was sent, otherwise it works correctly. Tried on different
2.2 phones, and issue is present on all. Looks to me like Android
system issue.

Has anybody encountered it also, and maybe have some useful hint how
to avoid this?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi DanH,

Although I'm a bit lost as Java is a very new language to me, I will
try to figure what you mean.

SimpleAdapter adapterShop = new SimpleAdapter(this, ppp,
R.layout.sort_by_name,
new String[] {name,age},
new int[] {R.id.name,R.id.age
);

I have this error -
The constructor SimpleAdapter(Directory, ArrayListSortable, int,
String[], int[]) is undefined

Not very sure about it.

The best advice I can give you at this point: stop. Just stop. Put your
Android project on hold. Put hashmaps and arraylists and generics on hold.
Now go get an introductory book on Java and play around with simple Hello
World programs where you can familiarize yourself with the language and
Eclipse. Knowing how to spot compile time errors and what they mean and
knowing how to debug your program is *crucial* to you making any progress.

This is a forum for Android SDK questions. You are asking basic Java

  if you just have:

  Foo f;
  f.func();

  You're trying to access memory that isn't there.
  The line:

  new Foo();

  Allocates memory and points the reference 'f' to it.  f can then be
  used to access that memory.

  Its called a nullpointerexception because currently your reference is
  pointing to a null memory address (invalid).

TextView does NOT support pressed state correctly.  I changed the view to a

so menuitem.xml changed to

[android-developers] Re: Strange orange background color when custom 9 patch button is pressed...

2011-02-02 Thread JAlexoid (Aleksandr Panzin)

Try using your scroller(the optical thing or the ball at the bottom of
your phone) and select items in the list.
If when selecting using a scroller adds the orange background, then
it's simple becuase it's default behaviour of Array adapter's item
wrapper.

You have to create your own ListAdapter to create
views(Adapter.getView() method) to create the actual line in the list.

There is a sample in the API Demos -

[android-developers] Dynamic array ListView problem

2011-02-02 Thread sisko

Hi guys,

I am experimenting with locations and listviews. I am getting location
results back and I am trying to create a listview of my locations
results using the following code:

ListView locationList   =   
(ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListView01);
String[] items = new String[]{};

try {
Geocoder geocoder   =   new 
Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
ListAddress addresses =   
geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE,
LONGITUDE, 5);
address_textview.setText( +addresses );

Address[] addresses_array   =   new 
Address[addresses.size()];
addresses.toArray(addresses_array);

for( int i = 0; i  addresses_array.length; i++ ){
items[i]=   
addresses_array[i].getPostalCode();
}

} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

ArrayAdapterString adapter=   new 
ArrayAdapterString(this,
R.layout.list_item, items);
locationList.setAdapter(adapter);

My problem is, when I try to write into my items array ( items[i]   =
addresses_array[i].getPostalCode(); )  in the forloop, my application
crashes.

Can anyone please help. I am stuck at this point.

When your application crashes, it's up to you to debug it and figure out
why. If you need help we need more information than it crashes. Use your

[android-developers] Re: InputMethodManager and it's active View

2011-02-02 Thread Jeremiah Sellars

I spent some time researching InputMethodManager.java and besides
having a ton of threading code I couldn't follow, the best I could
gather was that whatever view currently has focus SHOULD be able to
invoke showSoftInput as it the InputMethod's active view.

After much further testing... the only conclusion that I can come to
is that the InputMethodManager Service is not getting flagged soon
enough that the view I'm trying to use to call the softInput has
focus. I threw a little test together... I subclassed Thread and
created a constructor that takes the Activity so I can call
runOnUIThread from that started Thread. In the View's
onFocusChangeListenter, I start the thread, have it sleep for just a
moment, and then have it call runOnUIThread() and in it's Runnable
call to showSoftInput() and viola... it works just fine.

This is hackish... but since what I'm working on is entirely my own
personal project for only my hardware... it'll have to do.

 I know that feeling. You stupid machine, you will not defeat me! =P

JavaScript does not handle uploading; you'll need to have some code

posting.

Inside a WebView, you can use the XHR object to make your call to your
server asynchronously, but JavaScript itself can't actually do the
uploading of the data.

[android-developers] Can an application control the open / closed state of the status bar panel?

2011-02-02 Thread Ken Cross

I have an application which exhibits two different behaviors, possible
related to Android 2.2 vs. Android 2.1 update 1.

The application uses the proximity sensor to determine when the phone
is near the ear. If a near condition is detected, I get the
applications window and set the LayoutParams to FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE and
FLAG_FULLSCREEN. In general, this has the desired effect of preventing
accidental screen touches by the ear from causing any unwanted action.
However...

With my Android V2.2 phones: If I am in the process of sliding open
the Status Bar at the time the proximity sensor detects a near
condition, the Status Bar immediately closes and all is good.

With my Android V2.1 phones: If I have the Status Bar partially open,
detect a near condition, and then simultaneously (more or less)
revert to a far condition while releasing the Status Bar, the Status
Bar is left in a partially opened state. Meanwhile, part of my
application remains visible, but not touchable. I can simulate this at
will with 2.1 phones, but can not do so at all with 2.2 phones.

My questions:

1) Does anyone know why this behavior is different, and if it is
indeed related to different Android versions?

2) Is there a way that an application (such as mine!) can detect if
the Status Bar is opened, or in the process of sliding open, and tell
it to close?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

[android-developers] can multiple activiites share an ActionBar?

2011-02-02 Thread Satya Komatineni

Hello there.

I am looking at the ActionBar classes in 3.0.

Each activity can control its ActionBar.

Activity
{
  .
  ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
  bar.addTab(..1..)
  bar.addTab(..1..)
  .
}

Does every activity in an application setup an ActionBar
independently? Especially if there are common icons or actions that
needs to be activated across multiple activities, is it still the
responsibility of the individual activities to orchestrate?

Thanks
Satya

confusing but here is the problem?

i have 2 tabs and another page of intent  so my app acts like a music
palyer basically that once u click on the song it brings u to another
page. but on the first tab i have a seekbar thats like volume so i
adjust taht click on a song then i use intent to go to another page
which now has a volume seek bar that also is changed based off the
first tab adjustment soo i tried the

public static int vol

then on the intent pge i adjust the volume so that i changes the value

firstTab.vol = getprogress() something like this

but when i click the back button it doesnt update on the oncreate like
it should
i know the value is changed though cuz like i said i have 2 tabs so
the second tab doesnt really do anythng i just go to that tab and go
back to the first tab and then the volume on the seekbar changes?
so my main questions is why isnt the back button updating the oncreate
i know that if u did backbutton i does changes things like when u make
ur own custom  arrayAdapter u can have a change on an item when u back
button it   but like for this example wit the seekbar its not

[android-developers] Re: WiFi Error/Unable to connect in AVD

2011-02-02 Thread Kim



Thanks, Kostya. Your code got me looking in the right direction. I
went back to an earlier release that had been working and found two
things, both of which I had to change to get it to work:

1)  In my startup code I changed while(!wifi.isWifiEnabled())
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true); to what I had in an earlier version, which
was while(!wifi.setWifiEnabled(true)); Both of these are meant to
turn on wifi if it is not on. The first does not work in the emulator,
but does work on real devices. The second does not work on the Samsung
Epic, but does work on a Galaxy Tab and the HTC devices I test with.

2) I had added a connectivity check (using ConnectivityManager) in the
newer version of the software that I had to remove for the emulator.

Once I made those changes it works fine in the emulator. I like your
idea of just having a boolean value that I can change when I am using
the emulator. Of course, I just have to remember to test the release
version to be sure I change the value before putting the app in the
Market :-)

Thanks!!

one of the apps is stopped. Once either of the apps is stopped, either
by quitting the app or by using a task killer, the phone slows down to
a near halt. Most of the time I have to pull the battery.

I have seen this with Pandora, which uses SPP, probably as part of its
Ford Sync support, and with my app. I have also seen this with the
sample apps for SPP. It doesn't matter which apps I use. Any two apps
that use SPP cause this.

I have seen this on Android 2.1, HTC device on ATT. I did not see this
on a Motorola Droid running 2.2.1 stock, however I did see this on the
same phone while running 2.2 and LFY 1.95 ROM with a custom kernel.

I have logs from the debugger if anyone needs to see them, but I see
nothing in there that points out the problem. Once either SPP apps is
stopped the slow down starts immediately. I still get logs but nothing
at all indicating a problem. The slow down does not stop until the
phone is rebooted.

[android-developers] Video View // Media Controller ?? Show(0) = Null Pointer Exception = Frustrated

2011-02-02 Thread Abhishek Talwar

Guys i am playing an video with a video view .
So far it is cool and video plays nice but the media Controller which
comes at the bottom of the screen appears
only on touch and i want that it should be there permanently.
I googled and i thot the following code should be fine :-

 Uri path = Uri.parse(android.resource://com.vid1/ + R.raw.p1);
vv=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vv);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(vv);
mc.show(0);
mc.requestFocus();

vv.setMediaController(mc);

vv.setVideoURI(path);


and this gives me a force close and a Null Pointer in log cat.
i am sorry this may be a duplicate post but this one has detailed code
and more clear understanding of situation.

Thanks in advance

Re: [android-developers] Re: WiFi Error/Unable to connect in AVD

02.02.2011 23:23, Kim пишет:

Thanks, Kostya. Your code got me looking in the right direction. I
went back to an earlier release that had been working and found two
things, both of which I had to change to get it to work:

1) In my startup code I changed while(!wifi.isWifiEnabled())
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true); to what I had in an earlier version, which
was while(!wifi.setWifiEnabled(true)); Both of these are meant to
turn on wifi if it is not on. The first does not work in the emulator,
but does work on real devices. The second does not work on the Samsung
Epic, but does work on a Galaxy Tab and the HTC devices I test with.

Actually, there is a broadcast action that you should use instead of a
spinning loop:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html#WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION

2) I had added a connectivity check (using ConnectivityManager) in the
newer version of the software that I had to remove for the emulator.

Once I made those changes it works fine in the emulator. I like your
idea of just having a boolean value that I can change when I am using
the emulator. Of course, I just have to remember to test the release
version to be sure I change the value before putting the app in the
Market :-)

Supposedly there is a way to check for the emulator using one of the
values in android.os.Build, but I couldn't figure it out right away, so
went with a boolean instead.

And yes, I know what you mean about releasing a test version :)

Thanks!!

[android-developers] MediaRecorder to socket -?

2011-02-02 Thread Victor lyamtsev

 setOutputFile method for MediaRecorder takes either file path or
FileDescriptor as argument, e.g. seems it only allows to record file
locally...
Is there any trick to write recorded stream into the socket?

Re: [android-developers] Back Button ?what it really does?

2011-02-02 Thread Dianne Hackborn

What it does is simple: if nothing in the view hierarchy consumes it, the
activity in response to receiving it just calls finish() on itself.

 Hello there.

 I am looking at the ActionBar classes in 3.0.

 Each activity can control its ActionBar.

 Activity

  ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
  bar.addTab(..1..)
  bar.addTab(..1..)
  .
 }

 Does every activity in an application setup an ActionBar
 independently? Especially if there are common icons or actions that
 needs to be activated across multiple activities, is it still the
 responsibility of the individual activities to orchestrate?

[android-developers] ArrayList vs ArrayAdapter

2011-02-02 Thread Richard Sámela

HI,
I have a problem with implementation. I use a ArrayListMyRecord as
class MyRecord is:

public class MyRecord {
 Date date;
 double spotreba;
 int pocet_km;
 double cena;
 String desc;

MyRecord(Date date, double objem, int pocet_km, double liter, String
desc){
this.date=date;
this.spotreba=objem;
this.pocet_km=pocet_km;
this.cena=liter;
this.desc=desc;
}

and in the ListView I have declared ListItem which looks like that:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent android:paddingLeft=10sp

and my problem is to referenced fields double spotreba and Date date
to two TextViews in the inner LinearLayout. I understand if I had only
strings and it give to adapter. But here I don't understand how to
change my ArrayListMyRecord to some ArrayAdapter and show it in the

[android-developers] Re: Whats the key difference between Monkey Runner and Monkey tool?

2011-02-02 Thread A. Elk

You can send keystrokes and touch events with the MonkeyRunner API.
It's available in AOSP and Android 2.3, and documented in Android 2.3.

On Feb 1, 9:51 pm, Bharathi raja bharathiraja.andr...@gmail.com

 Hi,

 Can you please tell me it required any module\lib files to write python
 script to do keystrokes and touch event.
 if so, from where i will get those module files

 On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 10:45 PM, A. Elk 
 lancaster.dambust...@gmail.comwrote:







  You might use Monkey to test that your app handles only certain
  keystrokes, handles only keystrokes sent in a certain order, and
  doesn't crash if it gets anything else. For touch events, you could
  use it to test that random touches or gestures don't do something
  unexpected in your application. As the Dev Guide topic says, Monkey is
  for stress-testing your application.

  MonkeyRunner provides limited scripting and control capabilities, so
  that you can write Python scripts to run test suites. The Froyo Dev
  Guide describes MonkeyRunner in some detail. You have to know Python
  in order to use it. You can send keystrokes and touch events to
  control the UI, but to send touch events you have to know the screen
  coordinates where you want the touch to occur. That means that you'll
  need to do some work by hand first, to figure out those coordinates.
  As far as I know, MonkeyRunner can't do gestures.

  Robotium is in Java only. It's like JUnit. You write something that
  looks like a Java program. The Robotium runner interprets it as a
  sequence of steps to run. There's documentation online; you should
  Google Robotium.

  Suspend/restart could mean many things. You may or may not be able to
  test those functions automatically. In general, you can't easily test
  something that requires turning off the device.

  File copying from the network could be done in MonkeyRunner. It really
  depends on what you're trying to do. Since MonkeyRunner is essentially
  a Python module, you can write any Python program you want and add
  MonkeyRunner to it. Python can do just about anything you can think
  of.

  Python can accept user input.

  Unfortunately, I don't have the time to teach you Python or Java. This
  forum really isn't appropriate for that.

   I would be grateful to you if you clarify the below questions as well?

   2) Power management processes like suspend/restart is a key part in

   3) Can we automate the operations like file copy through network using

   4) I would like to create scripts that accept inputs from user while
   running. I have no knowledge on Python. Hope I can achieve it in
   Python. Correct me if I am wrong.

I don't think that Monkey will give you the type of UI testing you
want. It's mostly used to generate input while you test other things.

MonkeyRunner can do functional testing, but a better use for it is to
run suites of system tests and then collect the results. Remember,
too, that MonkeyRunner is an API, not a program; you have to write a
Python program to use it.

You may also want to look at Robotium, which is similar to Selenium
but with specific support for Android.

 Can anyone suggest me which tool I need to use for best results?

 I also want to include power management operations in between my UI

Re: [android-developers] ArrayList vs ArrayAdapter

You will need to extend ArrayAdapterMyRecord with your own custom
rendering logic in getView(), then create an instance of your custom
adapter, associate it with your ArrayListMyRecord, and attach the
adapter to your ListView.

[android-developers] Rotating a camera view manualy?

2011-02-02 Thread ThomasWrobel

Is it possible to rotate the view coming in from the camera, so its,
say, upside down?

I thought this would be a mater of rotating the surface view its on,
but nothing seems to work.
I tried the advice in this thread for rotating videos;
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3563cf871e45d00f/f82fb328d2c2c4c2?lnk=gstq=rotate+surface#f82fb328d2c2c4c2

But the camera just comes out black if that mode is used.

So is it possible to rotate the camera image using surface?

I'm aware of setDisplayOrientation(90), but that would break 2.1
compatibility and Id rather not do that unless absolutely needed.


Thanks,
Thomas

[android-developers] In-app billing - ITEM_ID limitations

2011-02-02 Thread tomgibara

I've just finished reading the preliminary documentation for in-app
billing.

If I've understood correctly, as part of the billing request you can
supply:

* ITEM_ID which is limited to a small number of pre-registered product
ids
* DEVELOPER_PAYLOAD unconstrained - but with caveats?

and these are the only two pieces of data you can send to identify the
product being purchased. But even the DEVELOPER_PAYLOAD appears to be
off-limits; the documentation contains the following (rather cryptic)
advice:

 We recommend that you do not use this field to send data or content.

I take this to mean product data/content, but that's no more than a
guess, and if that's the correct interpretation, why? The result seems
to be that you can't sell individuated items.

I was hoping to use the in-app billing system to allow purchases of
dynamically generated designs from my forthcoming Metaglow
application, but this doesn't appear to be possible without operating
some sort of 'credits purchase' system which I think would provide a
very poor user experience and which isn't what I want to give users.

Can anyone shed light on this?

[android-developers] Updated my apps's promotional graphic, but Android Market website not showing it yet

2011-02-02 Thread niko20

I updated the large promotional graphic, my app's high resolution icon
and promotional icon today once I saw how the website displayed.

The high resolution icon shows up in searches for my app, but it's not
showing yet on the apps' webpage. Also, the new large promotional
graphic doesn't show on the page yet either.

Just curious, wonder how long it will take for the updated image to
appear? I've tried refreshing my browser, etc.

[android-developers] How to lookup DATA._ID for a phone number

2011-02-02 Thread andfan22

Given a phone number, how can I look up the _id of the DATA row for
that phone number?

I was assuming that the following query would do it:

Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor c = resolver.query(lookupUri, new String[] { PhoneLookup._ID },
null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
long id = c.getLong(0);
// do stuff with id
}

... but it is returning the contact_id, not the id of the phone
record.

The official api docs for PhoneLookup indicate that _ID returns the
Data row ID:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.html

... but that appears to be incorrect.  Am I missing something?  How
can I efficiently look up the data _id(s) for a given phone number?

Thanks in advance ...

Re: [android-developers] Question about bug reports

2011-02-02 Thread H

Just to clarify, there is no automatic report getting sent - the user has 
to send a report.

Not quite so with the acra implementation. With one line of code you can 
send a silent report of any exception - uncaught, caught or simply any piece 
of text. As long as you mention it nicely in your app somewhere that it 
might send  anonymous logs.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Emulator loses network connection issue

2011-02-02 Thread H



Does the emulated system think that it has no longer connectivity? I.e. no 
more 3G icon in the status bar, and the browser complains with a dialog if 
you try to use it.

3G icon is still there in the emulator. Any apps trying to perform web 
activity get host not found error messages.

If not, what kind of error is reported by the browser when trying to access 
a site.

In the browser I get the standard android icon with the unable to contact 
server message

If the problem limited to DNS or not (i.e. can the browser access a site by 
only using its IP address?)

Good question! Next time it happens, I'll try using ip addys instead and see 
if it works.

Can you connect to the emulator console with telnet localhost 5554 or even 
adb shell when this happens?

adb continues to perform fine. Nothing in logcat appears around the time 
connectivity has lost other than messages saying unable to contact host. I 
can still install apps via adb. Haven't tried telnet to the emu, but assumed 
that since adb still works fine then telnet should be. I'll check it next 
time.

Which exact platform are your running the emulator on?

Running on win xp sp3 using adt9.

Similar to metal mikey, I also notice it mostly happens if the emulator has 
been left open for many hours (i.e. a day or more). But I did notice the 
connectivity stopped a few days after the emu had been running for only a 
couple of hours but I had been doing a lot of adb installs in that time.

[android-developers] Re: SmaliHook.java found on my hacked application.

2011-02-02 Thread H

I check the signature in my app. But I use reflection to do all calls to get 
the answer and I dynamically generate up the strings to pass into the 
reflection in various places throughout the app and in different orders. And 
even then I use reflection to further convert the signature to a hash and 
then throughout the app I check the odd character in the hash to make sure 
it matches the same character in the correct hash. This means that you can't 
find a mention of PackageManager, PackageInfo, Signature or 0x40 in 
any text or imported class and you also won't find the signature or the hash 
clearly visible anywhere. At the very least this isn't something that 
anti-lvl can currently spot.

Plus, after I similarly decompiled a hacked version of my app, I added a 
mild tweak to the lvl code and I can see that newly hacked versions of my 
app haven't spotted that change so are failing constantly. :-)

HTH.

Re: [android-developers] How to tell in code the orientation

If you load a layout resource via setContentView() or a
LayoutInflator, Android will choose the right resource automatically
based on orientation.

If you are generating your UI directly in Java code, either switch to
using layout resources, or use the orientation field on the
Configuration object to find out what the current orientation is.

Hello Group,

How could i find out if the user clicked on the current selected tab?

If it was a different tab I could use the setOnTabChangedListener, but how 
do you get the current tab clicked on. I want it so if that re-click the 
current tab it will refresh that activity.

Thanks group.

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

2011-02-02 Thread Richard Schilling

That's very interesting Dianne, and thanks for taking the time to
weigh in.

What you are saying makes sense too because the physical size of the
screens on Android devices differ.  At the very least I expect that
each device does the calculations properly when displaying widgets.
Or, is that assumption bad too?


So, Phil is right too that my numbers would be off by some margin.

I wish the OEMs would make the information from their certification
and test results documents available to the public ... have you seen
any talk about that?

That information would help a lot in identifying different device
behavior for doing QA.  Nothing worse than having a tester try to line
up screen captures for pixel perfect matches during a test and having
to explain that it's just the device  at least not without some
hard data.

 The density and densityDpi is an abstract density bucket the device
 manufacturer has decided makes sense for their UI to run in.  This is what
 is used to evaluate things like dp units and select and scale bitmaps from
 resources.

 The xdpi and ydpi are supposed to be the real DPI of the screen...  though
 as you've seen, many devices don't set it correctly. :(  This is our fault,
 it isn't actually used anywhere in the platform, so people don't realize
 they have a bad value, and we haven't had a CTS test to try to make sure it
 is sane (it's not clear how that test should work).  Worse, we shipping the
 original Droid with a graphics driver that reports the wrong value here...
  in fact that reported that same damnable 96.

 Unfortunately, I don't have a good solution if you want to get the real
 exactly screen dots per inch.  One thing you could do is compare xdpi/ydpi
 with densityDpi and if they are significantly far apart, assume the values
 are bad and just fall back on densityDpi as an approximation.  Be careful on
 this, because a correctly working device may have densityDpi fairly
 different than the real dpi -- for example the Samsung TAB uses high density
 even though its screen's really density is a fair amount lower than 240.

   Did you try fetching the scale that will allow you to convert from DPI

        final scale =

  The description of that says:

     on a 160dpi screen this density value will be 1; on a 120 dpi
  screen
     it would be .75; etc.

   Then multiply scale by one inch of pixels in DPI resolution (depending
   on the screen you're on) - 120, 160, 240, 320.

   This API call ...

        int densityDpi =
   getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi;

   will tell you the density of the screen you're on.

  Approximately.

   So, this will tell you how many screen pixels equate to an inch.

  I'm not at all sure that it does.

    Then
   you can use that to lay out your ruler markings:
        int pxPerInch = 340; // default value - note it's a new density
   in API version 9.

        switch(densityDpi){
             case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW:
                         pxPerInch = 120 * scale;
                         break;
             case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_MEDIUM:
                         pxPerInch = 160 * scale;
                         break;
             case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH:
                         pxPerInch = 240 * scale;
                         break;
        }

  Note that the values of those constants DENSITY_* are their numeric
  values, so there is no need for the case statement; you can just
  write:

  pxPerInch = densityDpi * scale;

  However, I really don't think that does what you believe it does.  I
  think that densityDpi reliably gives the approximate dpi, and density
  just gives densityDpi/160.  Multiplying them together doesn't do
  anything useful.  But I could be wrong!

  Thanks,  Phil.
