[android-developers] Re: problem in installing android sdk in proxy network
I has the same problem, you need to setup your own proxy server on your box. I can't remember which proxy server I got but there are a few. You then set the proxy on your box to point at the actual proxy server on your network(including username and password). Then set the sdk to point at the proxy on your box so ip address 127.0.0.1 and then whatever port you set on the proxy on your box. It's crude but it works.

Re: [android-developers] listview checkbox recycle issue
ViewHolder is not a good place to store data state - as you are doing.
A ViewHolder is not associated with the data item, it's associated with
the item layout, and when recycling happens, the view holder is also
affected.
You need to store selection state in MyObject, so it's completely
separate from the list item views. With that done, you'll be able to
count on selection state being correct when updating the UI (the check
box). Make sure to update selection state in an appropriate MyObject
based on user actions.

inflate a layout that includes a checkbox. I'm having the issue now
that when I click on the checkboxes it's fine until it scrolls past
the window. Now I know that the adapter recycles views so let me
explain how I have my adapter set up and if anyone could kindly see
what I'm doing wrong:
I have a ViewHolder class such as the following:
public class ViewHolder
{
View base;
CheckBox checkbox;
TextView tagTexView;
TextView tagIDTextView;
public ViewHolder(View base)
{
this.base = base;
}
CheckBox getTagCheckBox()
{

{
checkbox = (CheckBox)
base.findViewById(R.id.tagInfoCheckBox);
}
return checkbox;
}
TextView getTagMainIdentifierTextView()
{
if(tagTexView == null)
{
TwoLineListItem twoListItem = (TwoLineListItem)
base.findViewById(R.id.taginfo_layoutTwoLineListItem);
tagTexView = (TextView) twoListItem.getText1();
}
return tagTexView;
}
TextView getTagIDTextView()

{
TwoLineListItem twoListItem = (TwoLineListItem)
base.findViewById(R.id.taginfo_layoutTwoLineListItem);
tagIDTextView = (TextView)
twoListItem.getText2();
}
return tagIDTextView;
}
}
Now in my getView method, I inflate convertView and create the
viewHolder if convertView is null or set the view holder if it's not
(holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag()).
After that, I set all the values of the views by accessing the views
using the holder, for example:
holder.getTagCheckBox().setChecked(tag.plot);
where tag is MyObject that I get using getItem(position) inside my
getView and tag.plot is the boolean value that will indicate if the
checkbox should be checked or not.
I also created a OnCheckedChangeListener that just sets to tag.plot to
whatever the checked state is and then call notifyDataSetChanged();
So the text that I update in my views works just fine but the checkbox
seems to get screwed up and although I've read a few suggestions, none
of them have worked.
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent)
{
mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
final MyObject tag = this.getItem(position);
// A ViewHolder keeps references to children views to avoid
// unneccessary calls to findViewById() on each row.
ViewHolder holder;
// When convertView is not null, we can reuse it directly,
there is
// no need to reinflate it. We only inflate a new View when the

if (convertView == null)
{
convertView =
mInflater.inflate(R.layout.taginfo_layout, null);
// Creates a ViewHolder and store references to the two
children
// views we want to bind data to.
holder = new ViewHolder(convertView);
convertView.setTag(holder);
}
else
{
// Get the ViewHolder back to get fast access to the
TextView
// and the ImageView.
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
// Set the checkbox value to the value of tag.plot
holder.getTagCheckBox().setChecked(tag.plot);

Ok I get it this is to do with (I think) how two *innocent* intents could be deemed the same even if they are different owing to their *extras. The uniqueness of intents when dealing with pending intents does not take into account the EXTRAS but it does take into account the data portion. And hence the following code simulating this uniqueness by converting an intent with extras first to a string (which will include the extras as appended string) and then set that unique string as data URI. :) I get it.

Kostya,
thanks for your help. I believe I am doing what you suggest but if
not let me know:
I am setting the data item inside my getView in my
OnCheckChangedListener, for example:
MyObject.plot = isChecked;// so the plot variable holds the
checked state
Now when I set the checkbox layout item, I'm getting the value from my
data item, for example:
holder.getCheckBox.setChecked(MyObject.plot);
So I may not be understanding fully what you suggest. Do you think I
should store the checkbox layout item in MyObject?
Kapil,
thanks for your suggestion, I might go that route if I can't get this
checkbox issue figured out.

Maybe it is a bad solution to create two versions with different permissions. Do you know how to solute this problem? I'm thinking of an other solution. I create a new addon apk with these permissions. This is a content provider which provides the required data. The user can make a decision if he installs this app or not.

Re: [android-developers] Re: listview checkbox recycle issue
Ah, yes, you are. Sorry, I missed that tag is a reference to your data
object item.
Now I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code you posted. In
fact, I have code almost like this, including ViewHolder-type helper
classes right in front of me, and it works.
I have two suggestions for debugging:
- add log statements inside onCheckedChanged, print the data object, its
position, and new state;
- get rid of ViewHolder thingies, call convertView.findViewById(...)

You need to store selection state in MyObject, so it's completely

count on selection state being correct when updating the UI (the check

that when I click on the checkboxes it's fine until it scrolls past

explain how I have my adapter set up and if anyone could kindly see
what I'm doing wrong:
I have a ViewHolder class such as the following:
public class ViewHolder

this.base = base;

tagIDTextView = (TextView) twoListItem.getText2();
}
return tagIDTextView;

Now in my getView method, I inflate convertView and create the
viewHolder if convertView is null or set the view holder if it's not
(holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag()).
After that, I set all the values of the views by accessing the views
using the holder, for example:
holder.getTagCheckBox().setChecked(tag.plot);
where tag is MyObject that I get using getItem(position) inside my
getView and tag.plot is the boolean value that will indicate if the
checkbox should be checked or not.
I also created a OnCheckedChangeListener that just sets to tag.plot to
whatever the checked state is and then call notifyDataSetChanged();
So the text that I update in my views works just fine but the checkbox
seems to get screwed up and although I've read a few suggestions, none
of them have worked.

[android-developers] Bitmap Question
Hello Group, I was wondering how do you scale a bitmap to look good on any screen size (Using surfaceview and canvas). I already know the canvas width and canvas height. So, what would the calculation be? Example lets say I have a picture that is 100x100 and the phone size is 1920x1200 (just for the sake of it). Now when displaying that on the phone, it will look small. So, how do i scale that up to be bigger based on the aspect ratio or resolution. Just say the developed phone resolution was 480x854 (so all pics was created after that res). So, if the resolution is smaller i want to scale the bitmap down, and if it is bigger, i want to scale it up. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] bitmap drawable resource gravity ignored in layer list?
I'm trying to build a seek bar with text in/under it to make something akin to the slide to unlock bar on the iPhone. I figured I'd change the style of the seek bar and added: layer-list ... item android:id=@android:id/background layer-list item shape corners android:radius=10dip / gradient android:startColor=#88747674 android:centerColor=#885a5d5a android:centerY=0.25 android:endColor=#889d9e9d android:angle=270 / /shape /item item bitmap android:src=@drawable/slide_to_finish_label android:gravity=fill_horizontal/ /item /layer-list /item ... /layer-list slide_to_finish_label is a 9-patch PNG. The default tile mode is listed as none. When I use this nested layer-list as the background of my app it works as I expect. My bitmap shows up stretched side to side but not up and down. When I use this as the style for the seek bar the bitmap shows up not stretched and repeating. Changing the gravity attribute has no affect on the repeating. I thought it might have something to do with the nesting of the layer list, like that the item in the parent-list is being repeated. The guide on Drawable Resources seemingly warns on this issue and suggests using a bitmap to control stretching and repeating but even when I reduce the item to just a bitmap (not a nested layer-list) gravity still has no affect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Out of memory - despite being way under 16mb
I have an even more frustrating version of that bug. We use a mapview
that supports rotation and thus is slightly larger than the screen
area. When users zoom in a few times they can very easily cause the
OOM condition. I have no control over the way the Google Maps API
works, do I?
By the way, OOM is catchable. Not that it would help much though...
Here's my current code
public void onClick(View v) {
v.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.LONG_PRESS);
System.gc();
try {
mMapView.getController().zoomIn();
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.gc();
zoomLevel = mMapView.getZoomLevel();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putInt(zoomLevel, zoomLevel);
editor.commit();

Sounds to me like you are probably hitting the bitmap deallocation
problem:http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8488
In summary, the issue is that bitmap memory takes several GC passes to
deallocate, so it's really easy to get ahead of the GC and run out of memory.
AFAIK, there's no fix. You can help the situation somewhat by calling
System.gc() after every Bitmap.recycle() call, and again before every bitmap
allocation. But that's only somewhat. I've also found that setting bitmap
variables to null after recycling them makes matters worse, but YMMV.

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap Question
Ok, so I figured out how to resize bitmaps, but now I am trying to figuare out how to resize a Media (which plays a gif...unless there is a better way to play gifs?). For those looking on how to resize a bitmap do the following: 1. get the width and height of screen/view. 2. set a ratioWidth var to ScreenWidth/WidthDevelopedFor 3. set a ratioHeight var to ScreenHeight/HeightDevelopedFor 4. then in your bitmap after you decode the resource, next do Bitmap.createScaledBitmap. In the new x do BitmapVar.getWidth()*ratioWidth and in the new y do BimapVar.getHeight()*ratioHeight. Hope that helps. So, back to my question, how do you resize some Media class? I was thinking canvas.scale and canvas.translate, but that really isnt working. Again..if there is a better way to play gifs, i am all ears. Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Check permissions
BTW, I've seen apps in Market that explain (in the now-much-extended description field) why they need the permissions they do, one by one. Not sure if that can address potential doubts of each and every user (there are some paranoid types out there), but it certainly creates a good impression, hopefully increasing the level of trust.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Check permissions
Yes a help application works well. Just be sure that if you do such a thing it is in a secure way -- for example if this is structured as a Service that your main application binds to in order to have it do stuff with SMS messages, declare a signature permission in the help that restricts access to it, and use it in your main app. This way other applications can't get the permission and can't find to your service and abuse you as a security hole (in which case your helper app will get the blame, since it is the one accessing the SMS data).

Hello Dianne, ah ok, I will try the GET_CONTENT with audio/*. But can I also use it for artists and albums? And yes ok, I can copy the code of your activities (I will try this out now). But I would really appreciate to eat Google's dogfood here and don't want to invent the wheel again by myself. I also think this is not what the users expect from the Android platform, because maybe my activity will be somehow different from Googles (maybe in future versions) and the users will not understand why... For me the intent stuff really makes up some of Android's modularity and openness. Yes it is right that desktop Linux does not have this feature. That's why I like Android much more than desktop Linux :-). But I really don't want to start a flamewar on this topic. I simply do not understand why these activities are not available anymore to 3rd party developers. Maybe it is because of task stacks, but I don't know.

[android-developers] CountDownTimer + updating textview and imageview
My Goal: display time in second on the screen and display battery (in my
game) left. (its a time limit)
My problem: the battery is only updating at certain times (like when I click
open or close my in game menu, which just takes a layout and makes it
visible and then invisible)
My Second problem: I have no Idea how to make a text view update the time
properly, just about every time the game crashes,
Here Is some of my code if it helps.(I took out stuff that was not relevant)
public TextView mTime;
private static long timelimit;
public static int batteryleft;
public static int timeleft;
private int BLock = 0;
..
onCreate(){
timelimit = 3;
MyCount counter = new MyCount(timelimit,1000);
counter.start();
...
}
// this is in the main loop
private void batteryUpdate(){
ImageView batteryfill = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.batteryfill);
batteryfill.setMinimumWidth(batteryleft);
batteryfill.setMaxHeight(batteryleft);
// batteryfill.refreshDrawableState(); // this did not do anything
}
// my actual count down timer
public static final class MyCount extends CountDownTimer{
public MyCount(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
}
@Override
public final void onFinish() {
System.out.println(Finished);
}
@Override
public final void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
batteryleft = (int) ((double)millisUntilFinished/timelimit * 130);
timeleft = (int) (millisUntilFinished/1000);
// mTime.setText(timeleft) // I dont know where to put the constructor
for m time
}
}

[android-developers] Re: Android 2.3: Music content providers for artists, albums and songs
Another observation, which could be a bug in the package manager: I have also a small life-wallpaper (the infamous discomagic) which starts a musicplayer with the intent: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK); intent.setDataAndType(Uri.EMPTY, vnd.android.cursor.dir/track); intent.putExtra(Constants.ALBUM, ...); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); startActivity(intent); The funny thing is, that this leads also to a SecurityException (as long as no other Application is installed that filters for this intent). When I install e.g. MixZing which also supports this intent I get the regular ActivityChooser (with music and mixzing) and if I choose Music it works.

(Btw I think the old implementation of the music did do something with this kind of Intent, but it is wrong, and is probably another reason why it is explicitly not allowing it to be used like this.) -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 2.3: Music content providers for artists, albums and songs
At the end of the day, these are not documented in the SDK, the music app is something vendors tend to replace and customize, and trying to use these things in it is very likely to cause you problems across devices as they don't behave the same (at all) as what you are assuming.

When I use this as the style for the seek bar the bitmap shows up not stretched and repeating. Changing the gravity attribute has no affect on the repeating. I thought it might have something to do with the nesting of the layer list, like that the item in the parent-list is being repeated. The guide on Drawable Resources seemingly warns on this issue and suggests using a bitmap to control stretching and repeating but even when I reduce the item to just a bitmap (not a nested layer-list) gravity still has no affect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Do existing scheduled items on the AlarmManager get cancelled after an application update from the Marketplace?

Or will the service still start at noon? AFAIK, your alarms are wiped, it will not start at noon. On the other hand, if the AlarmManager DOES remove all the scheduled events, how is your application supposed to restart the services? On startup of your main app. Or catching one of the package updated broadcasts. I believe I saw a thread a while back (couldn't find it, sorry) where someone had this same issue and was able to use this broadcast to know when their app was updated and it was time to reset the alarms. 1. You can't tell on the application startup whether or not your previous services have been cancelled, because there is no way for your application to query AlarmManager to see if your services are still scheduled or not. It doesn't matter. Assume it's been wiped and reschedule your alarms - matching PendingIntents will overwrite anything already set. 2. You can't blindly start your service at app startup, because you don't want a service that is supposed to run every 24 hours to run 5 times a day if the user starts your app 5 times that day. No, but you can check if you app has been updated (simple setting you can keep and check against) and if so reschedule your alarms, to be safe. 3. Even if you persist a flag to disk indicating that your service is running, your application doesn't receive an event that the service was stopped (that I know of), so you can't turn that flag off if the service is cancelled during an application update. Yeah, no, don't even try that. Does anyone have any advice on how to reliably keep a service scheduled consistently after an application update?

Re: [android-developers] Re: SDcard mount point in portable way?
It returns the main partition, that you can count on being populated; for a device with a built-in USB mass storage and an external SD card it will return the built-in one. Android does not yet define the behavior for dealing with multiple SD cards. Devices that use that configuration are outside of the core platform, and should provide their own mechanism for them if they want -- such as a shared library to find out about the secondary storage. The platform really needs to define a good UX story around this before just throwing APIs at developers.

[android-developers] Re: bitmap drawable resource gravity ignored in layer list?
I was going to go that route but SeekBar does 99% of what I need. You guys did most of the work, keeping the moving part horizontally stable, animations, etc. I literally had to add 6 lines of code to get what I needed logically and then add some style. I should have made the question clearer. The meat of the question is about layer-lists with bitmaps. Which would be the same if I just wanted to style a horizontal progress bar with an image. So is it expected that the gravity attribute be ignored or do I need to specify something elsewhere to not have the images repeating?

The default tile mode is listed as none. When I use this nested layer-list as the background of my app it works as I expect. My bitmap shows up stretched side to side but not up and down. When I use this as the style for the seek bar the bitmap shows up not stretched and repeating. Changing the gravity attribute has no affect on the repeating. I thought it might have something to do with the nesting of the layer list, like that the item in the parent-list is being repeated. The guide on Drawable Resources seemingly warns on this issue and suggests using a bitmap to control stretching and repeating but even when I reduce the item to just a bitmap (not a nested layer-list) gravity still has no affect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

So is it expected that the gravity attribute be ignored or do I need to specify something elsewhere to not have the images repeating?

There are people from Market support answering questions there. LOL - Seriously? With all due respect Dianne, have you actually been over there? I spend about as much time there as I do here and I assure you, there is ***no one*** from the Market team answering *anything* over there. There was a time when you could count on Dontae to at least chime in with a bulls*** canned we're looking into it response, but in the last like 6 months or so I have not seen a single response from a Google Employee in that support forum. Sometimes, if you win a lottery, they'll respond to direct developer support requests when major stuff breaks (like the stats that are always breaking). But no one, and I mean NO ONE, from the Market has ever taken even 5 seconds to answer questions only someone from Google could answer, like the points of the TOS discussed here (and this issue has come up quite a few times). At least AFAIK - if you happen to know where these types of questions have been answered, I'm sure we'd all like to know where to go look. I mean, look at what you, Romain, Xavier, and others do here: spending your own free time helping us out wherever you can with issues others can't. I presume you all do this because you care about the product and want us to have a good experience using it. That's why it truly boggles my mind that not a single individual on the Market Team gives enough of a damn about *their* product to respond to even a single post. So, unfortunately, the OP is absolutely correct. Support for the Android Market for both users and developers is essentially non-existent. And this lack of support (and for me personally the fact that no one on that team seems to give a damn) is the chief reason why so many developers have such a terrible perception of everything and anything that has to do with the Android Market. --- -- TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Math question
Hello Group, I have a couple of questions. 1. Lets say I calculate a circle say 14 points in a circle. I have an object following those points for so many times for an animation. Now, since there are different screen sizes, The speed of following those points will vary on each mobile device. So my first question is how can I make it constant no matter the radius size and screen size? 2, The following code to the points in the circle works, but sometimes, the will jerk the object because it overshot it or something. I am checking by distance between two points. What is a better way to do follow points in a circle that doesnt jerk? I am all ears, but this one is not as critical as the first question.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 2.3: Music content providers for artists, albums and songs
Ok ... I understand, that this Intent is not supposed to use that way. My actual question now is, why the behavior of the system changes depending of the installed or not installed MixZing-App. Case 1 (no MixZing): - startActivity leads to an securityexception Case 2 (with MixZing installed): - startActivity opens up the ActivitiyChooser as usual (with Music and MixZing, because they both filter this intent). - choosing the stock music player opens up the music.app with the album preselected (no securityexception). thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The Single-Click Checkout app is used by many developers today.
