[android-developers] Re: HoneyComb isHardwareAccelerated() always returns false

[Zsolt Vasvari]

If you think there is a bug, open one on http://b.android.com (but
check if it hasn't been reported yet.)  Put Xoom, Honeycomb and 3.0 in
the title.  You will NOT get a response, but you will get a pair of
eyes to look at it in all likelihood.

[android-developers] Re: HoneyComb isHardwareAccelerated() always returns false

[Zsolt Vasvari]

Are you using the emulator or a real Xoom?

I'd assume the emulator wouldn't support hardware acceleration.

Use custom attributes in the layout XML.  You can declare them in
attrs.xml.

[Mike Bear]

Currently, I use this way, and it seems works. But there are shall be some
better way, I think.

public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
//Get the value from Activity
this.mInt =   ((MyActivity)context).getMyInt());
}

I'm really sorry for popping this again so quick without any new info,
I really need more info on this.

[android-developers] How to pass configuration parameters to custom views during construction

[android.xi...@gmail.com]

Hello Guys,

I defined a customer view, e.g. MyView, which need to be constructed
with some own parameter, e.g. line number in the view, an integer.
The view will be employed by my activity, MyActivity.
It seems that the View's constructors are fixed and will be called by
the system, and I can do nothing on it.

The question is:
 How to pass the integer to the view during construction from
the activity, while I've known the integer in MyActivity?

Thanks in advance.
Mike

Re: [android-developers] Re: openGL texture render size

[a a]

After two days thinking your explanation, i have understand very well
now, thanks very much!

There are two point with my acquaintance:
1. "--x" at the first, it advoid next "power of two" is double with
the "power of two", like 1000(dec is 8), it will became 16.

2. "i<<=1" (doing i++ in the for loop), it is very very profound and
effective. I coat almost 2 hours about this.

Re: [android-developers] Gallary Scroll and click event

[Justin Anderson]

Seems odd to me that setting the onItemClickListener would cause your
Gallery to lose its ability to scroll...  I have used Gallery views
extensively and have never seen this behavior.

What does the code look like when you set the listener?

Thanks,
Justin Anderson

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[Xavier Ducrohet]

I'm sure this is possible.

We would also like have templates in Eclipse so that you can create a
new layout with some pre-built items arranged in different ways.

We know that sometimes it's not easy to make the layouts do what you
want and we are working on making this easier.

[android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[Leo]

Is it possible to address the lack of examples in samples section on
layouts in future releases? I spent two days trying to figure how to
put 4 large images into a 2x2 grid for option selection in my first
app that I am working on. Granted my UI experience is next to NIL but
such things should be a breeze if there are illustrative examples in
the SDK.

It would be great to see 20-40 layout examples with images and
animation etc illustrating various aspects of the layouts. The other
parts of the online android  framework documentation is vast and very
helpful, but layout attributes are like hit or miss for non UI
(basically java only) developers like me.

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using a 9 patch as a listSelector affects padding

[Dianne Hackborn]

I believe ListView just uses whatever padding the selector drawable reports.
 The first thing, then, is to verify there isn't a problem in your drawable.
 Write a little code that retrieves the resource, calls
Drawable.getPadding() to retrieve the padding, and see what you get.  That
will isolate the problem either to something in list view or the drawable.

Also I'm not clear on where the 9-patch is adding extra padding, but as far
as I know it will only add padding around the entire contents of the list
(that is in addition to the padding on the ListView itself), not to
individual items.

I'd also recommend you explicitly set the padding on your graphic instead of
leaving it empty.  That is, if you don't want the selection to extend
outside of the list item at all, fill the entire right and bottom rows with
black pixels; the black pixels indicate where the list item content should
be positioned within the overall selector graphic.  This is how the standard
list selector is designed, for example:

[android-developers] ListViews inside TableLayout...

[droid-stricken]

Hi All,

I have a TableLayout with one TableRow.
The first column/cell is a ListView. The second cell/column is a
TableLayout again which consists of 2 ListViews.

When i inflate the xml layout, everything looks fine and i have set of
adapters for each of the 3 ListViews.

I have added dummy elements into these lists via adapters and am able
to scroll up and down the list.

But the onItemClick is not getting triggered.

The following is my layout file -

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:orientation="vertical">


































And in the java file, i do

ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
lv.setAdapter(new EfficientAdapterLeft(this));
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView arg0, View view, 
int arg2,
long arg3) {
Log.v("blah","arg2 " + arg2);
Log.v("blah","arg3 " + arg3);
}
});

I do similar things for the remaining two lists R.id.listView2 and
R.id.listView4. They instantiate different adapters but nothing
drastically different.

I don't see the logs getting printed. Why am i unable to click on the
items and get the onClickItem listener get triggered? Even doing this
lv.setFocusable(true);
lv.setClickable(true);
does not help.

Any idea what's happening?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Gallary Scroll and click event

[SImplyG2010]

Good evening,

I have a Gallery view in which each item consists of a table view with
two rows of three cells. Each time someone clicks on the image in one
of these cells I would like to launch a image specific intent however
if I set an on click listener for each of the image views then the
Gallery loses its ability to scroll and if I use on item click from
the gallery I just get the table view back as the clicked view. Does
anyone know a work around?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Using a 9 patch as a listSelector affects padding

[jsera]

That extra area is transparent pixels, and they are there by design.
They do not define stretchable areas, and the framework pays no
attention to them.

I'm using the draw9patch app that comes with the Android tools. I'm
dragging a completely standard png into the tool, which is outputting
a 9 patch that is exactly what the OS is expecting. I'm not editing
the resulting 9 patch myself at all. I'm relying entirely on the
provided tools.

--

Here's the situation I'm trying to solve:

I have an item in a list that looks abstractly like this:

http://www.yourmomsa.com/misc/sampleItem.png

The code looks like this:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="8dip"
android:paddingRight="8dip"
android:paddingTop="3dip"
android:paddingBottom="2dip"
android:gravity="center">






The gray area would be the LinearLayout, the blue would be the
RelativeLayout.

The item can be variable height, and when a list item is tapped, I
want the overlay to be only over the blue part, or the RelativeLayout.
Since the padding of the LinearLayout is constant, this would seem to
be the perfect situation for a 9 patch.


BBB  U  U TN   N  
B  B U  U   T  NN  N OO
BBB  U  U   T  N N N OO
B  B U  U   T  N  NN OO
BBB   UUT  N   N  

Because the bloody 9 patch is adding Extra padding and making me very
grumpy which all my long-suffering co-workers don't like.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[Xavier Ducrohet]

Our layout editors in Eclipse have been somewhat low priority for a
long time but we are now focusing some effort on it. You may have seen
that ADT 10 includes a lot of new features and we have more coming for
the next versions.

We are working on:
- better interactivity in the editor itself.
- better integration into Eclipse (*much* better autocompletion in the
XML editor, quick assist, refactoring, go to declaration)
- better rendering (3.0 is a huge step in the right direction already,
but we're adding some improvements and back porting it to earlier
versions)
- new features to help you design layouts (extract as include
refactoring, show included in, data in listviews, etc...)

If you want to follow our progress you can look at
http://tools.android.com/recent

As someone said, this is open source, and worked on directly in the
open (you can go to
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=summary to see the
latest changes or to
https://review.source.android.com//#q,status:open+project:platform/sdk,n,z
to see pending changes), and while we aren't forcing (or expecting)
anyone to contribute, if you feel passionate about tools and want to
contribute, please let us know (see http://tools.android.com/feedback)

[android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[jsera]

Having developed for Android since the launch of the G1, and having
spent the last 10-11 months writing Android apps full-time, the
layouts aren't actually that bad.

Actually, RelativeLayout isn't that bad. I've never had a layout
simple enough for LinearLayout or FrameLayout, and having spent a
decent amount of time in HTML-land, just the name TableLayout gives me
the willies.

The API itself still needs polishing. Bugs like TextView not being
able to ellipsize anything other than 2 lines, and cutting descenders
off if you mess with the line height are two glaring examples of
things that make Android look beta-ish, but neither one of those have
anything to do with the concept of a layout.

The tools are tolerable, but I wish there was a good way of pulling
them out of Eclipse. (Which would probably be difficult, since a
layout editor not only needs to know where all the project's bitmaps
are, but also has to deal with custom View subclasses and whatnot,
which implies a compiler and virtual machine at the very least)

Truthfully, without the concept of a layout, Android would be much
more of a pain to code for, since differing screen sizes and aspect
ratios would introduce all sorts of complications to even the simplest
UI.

HTML and Android's layouts exist as they do because of the constraints
of not knowing exactly what kind of container you're going to have to
fit your UI into. It means you'll have to wrap your head around
exactly how they abstract things away, but they exist as they do for a
good reason.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit test case blocking main UI thread for AsyncTask

[Jason]

OK.. So after re-thinking this I realized why the problem is
occurring, although I still do not have a solution.

When the test is running it seems to be treating itself as the main UI
thread, which would make sense since it's an
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.  The AsyncTask performs the
necessary callbacks in the onPostExecute method, which also runs on
the main UI thread.

Because my test is entering a wait loop so it ensures the AsyncTask
has completed, it is essentially blocking the main UI thread and the
onPostExecute method cannot execute.

So.. the question becomes.. how do we assert the results of an
AsyncTask in JUnit?  We can't wait for the Async task to complete for
the reasons described above, and I don't want to move my callback code
to the doInBackground method because in the "real world" I need/want
the callback to be on the main UI thread.

Hopefully someone out there has a pattern for asserting asynctask
outcomes in a test case...

Thanks.

Have you stepped through the code? Can you confirm the value is not-null
before passing "up" to the PostManager?

My guess is you're just not initializing the value.

Re: [android-developers] When to set android:anyDensity to what value?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Always set it to true...  or better, just make android:targetSdkVersion >=
4.  Having it false is only for compatibility with old apps that were
written before there was a concept of density in the APIs.  Using this
compatibility mode can cause some undesirable artifacts such as text metrics
being slightly inconsistent with actual rendering.

This isn't really related to UI builder tools or the IDE, it is just an
aspect of the platform APIs.  By convention, attributes with a "layout_"
prefix are parsed by the parent layout manager.  So "layout_gravity" applies
to the view's layout manager if it supports the gravity attribute,
controlling how the layout of it happens.  "gravity" is just a regular
attribute for the view, controlling its internal behavior; for example it
tells TextView how to position the text inside itself.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit test case blocking main UI thread for AsyncTask

[Jason]

Hi,

Missed your response.  This didn't work for me unfortunately.

Interestingly if I mark the test with @UiThreadTest I get the same
deadlock behavior, which makes me wonder whether there is some sort of
JUnit test state being re-used when the test is run in a suite?

As it stands I have a bunch of important test cases that I'm having to
just comment out because they hang when run in the suite (although
they all run and pass when executed individually).

I feel like I've tried everything to get these to work, but clearly
I'm missing something here.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Jason.

[android-developers] When to set android:anyDensity to what value?

[MarcoAndroid]

Hello there,

I've read http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
and
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ed305e5d08f11202/6b8feb7a05d9ef6b
and
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/518ee3894af29650
and more related sources.

Still, what and when to set android:anyDensity to I find hard to
figure out.

So, are these conclusions correct:

1- android:anyDensity has been introduced really only for "older" apps
(1.6 level 4 or lower) because those were most likely built with
hardcoded density-dependent values like 'px'? And apps with level
before 4 even don't understand density dependent resource directories
like res/drawable-hdpi?
By setting android:anyDensity="false", Android tries to scale those
resources that use px values and in 'res/drawable' to match the
device's real screen density.
>From level 5 onwards it is a well-known best-practice to always use dp
and sp and density dependend resource directories, so usually apps
take care themselves of being independent using those. And thus
normally for those apps android:anyDensity="true" is sufficient (no
auto-density-scaling).

2- If android:anyDensity="false" are these density dependend resource
directories plainly ignored as mentioned in this thread?
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/518ee3894af29650
But: how does the android:anyDensity="true" or "false" relate to
resources that you might have put in res/drawable-mdpi and res/
drawable-hdpi etc? Does that setting then only have effect for those
density resources you didn't specify in any configuration specific
density-directory, and how?

3- And what if I'm lazy and for any app I make I don't want to create
density specific resources (like images), so only have the 'res/
drawable' dir, but do use dp and sp everywhere... What should
android:anyDensity be set to then? My guess is "false" so Android will
alwyas scale my resources from 'drawable'...

Marco

[android-developers] Promotional Graphic in PNG gets converted to _very lossy_ JPEG in Android Market?

[Marc Reichelt]

Hi!

I have a problem with the Android Market. I uploaded a promotional
graphic (180w x 120h) as PNG. However, the Android Market seems to
apply a _very_ lossy JPEG compression on it - it just looks ugly.
Here is the image I uploaded to the Android Market:
  http://marcreichelt.de/misc/nichtlustig/before.png
It gets converted to this PNG image (which basically is a JPEG image,
but with .png extension):
  http://marcreichelt.de/misc/nichtlustig/after.png

Is this a bug in the Android Market, or am I doing something wrong? I
even tried to upload a JPEG image with not so high compression or as a
PNG image with an optimized 256 color palette (which is even smaller
than the resulting JPEG file of the market) - but he is still screwing
up the image. :-/


Thanks for your help & regards

[android-developers] Re: Using a 9 patch as a listSelector affects padding

[jsera]

That's 100% it. The selector is a 9-patch called list_selected.9.png.

With the last two attributes, and a 9-patch, I get extra padding.
Without the last two attributes, I don't get extra padding.

[android-developers] Remote access to phones

[kypriakos]

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out a way to access the htc phones (running
Android 1.6 and 2.2) over ssh.
I used the following I found from a posting:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 
stop adbd (by the way this means reboot unless you have a 
terminal
on the phone)
start adbd
   and from remote node use adb connect :

Is there an open-source ssh server package somewhere? I didn't find
one on Market.

Thanks

[android-developers] Shortcut

[b_t]

Hi,

In my app there is a possibility to add a shortcut to my widget.
It works well for almost every shortcut type.

But doesn't work well for shortcuts of a specific application. When I
add this
shortcut to my home screen by the launcher and click on it the
following intent will be
executed:


04-05 20:59:39.384: INFO/ActivityManager(184): Starting: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.VIEW flg=0x1000
cmp=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid/.GPhotoMain bnds=[125,553][235,671]
(has extras) } from pid 12552

It works as expected. But when I create this shortcut from my app and
I click on its icon, then


04-05 20:59:05.844: INFO/ActivityManager(184): Starting: Intent
{ flg=0x1000 cmp=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid/.GPhotoMain
bnds=[133,408][201,456] (has extras) } from pid -1


The difference is the VIEW action. When I add the VIEW action manually
to this intent,
then this shortcut works well too, but I cannot do that of course
because it makes
other type of shortcuts wrong.

I have looked throught the Launcher source code how it handles
shortcut intents but
it doesn't do anything with it, just adds a FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to
it.

Can anybody help me what cause this difference?

Thanks,
Tamás

 I have three activities say A,B and C. They are linked as A-->B-->C.
 Now I want to send a string of data from activity A to activity B and C.
 When I use putextra() then from A to B it works perfectly but from B to
 C it shows error. How to achieve that?

You will have to elaborate, first give an example of the error you are
getting. Is it a null pointer dereference or something? This is most
likely the cause of your error, because putExtra isn't likely to
"fail" this way.

Provide a small sample of your code (<50 lines) and also a small stack
dump showing exactly where the error is, then try to identify where
your error might be coming from. Then we can help you figure it out.

Generally if the developer does not release the code themselves no one
else will have it.  If you feel you really need it (which you
shouldn't, because this is a common problem) contact the developer.
However, if they actually want to make money off their app, they
probably won't give the code to you, and if you're asking for it it
probably won't be of much use to you in the first place.

Look in the SDK examples and publicly available apps for inspiration
instead and try to emulate what you want to do,

Re: [android-developers] Bluetooth connection refused

[Kristopher Micinski]

This has also happened to me, where even after you accept the pairing
request you still get a connection refused error. I'm not sure why it
happens, but to fix it in my code I've always just used some strategy
to try again if this happens.

However, when I try it the next time it (usually) works, I've never
had prolonged problems with it, because once you're paired you should
be good to go.

[android-developers] Bluetooth connection refused

[social hub]

Hi

I am trying to connect over bluetooth.

after initiating connection through the app the system prompts for "pairing
request" and it takes  1 0r 3 seconds to get to that prompt. Finally I
select pair

The other device also prompts for pairing request and  I selected "pair"

After these things I still get "connection refused"

I have android 2.1 devices.

Any one has any suggestions how to get this resolved or any thoughts or
ideas

thanks

[android-developers] Re: Blowfish encryption

[Sudhakar Chavali]

You can always go with AES or 3DES algorithm. I would always prefer
AES over 3DES when it meant for local storage and security is
concerned. As a blackberry developer I would prefer using 3DES
(Because it was one of the practice adopted by Blackberry world) when
it is meant for data transfer over net. I continued the same practice
for Android applications too. But if you are not concerned with very
high security DES is OK, but I have not tested that.

http://www.tutorials-android.com/learn/How_to_encrypt_and_decrypt_strings.rhtml

One more thing is never forget about bouncy castle API it shall
support all most all preferred encryption techniques.

[android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[Leo]

I agree with the sentiment of the post.There is definitely a lot of
scope for improvment in layouts. If layout designing was on par with
other technologies it would make life easy for a lot of developers.

It is not just a matter of learning xml. I know xml fully well, and
haven't used the gui tool yet. I only create layouts with handwritten
xml. But when you encounter two attributes like "gravity" and
"layout_gravity" you scratch your head and  question why the names are
not more intuitive (for something that sound so close).

If by "System 1.5" you mean the emulator, there is no last known location

There is no 'onSavedInstanceState' method in Activity.
Is that a typo in your question, or a typo in your code?
Did you mean 'onSaveInstanceState'?

Eclipse will put a little arrow in the left margin if you
are correctly overriding a base class's method.  You can
of course make a method of any name you want, but there is
a very small likelihood that it will ever get called.

Do you have any flags set to lock the orientation? Rotating the device
always causes a destroy -> recreate under normal circumstances, AFAIK.

[TreKing]

Comparing ADT to Visual Studio is a little ridiculous. Using a .Net language
like C# in VS to design a GUI is a thing of beauty, but it's gotten to its
current point of sophistication after *a lot* of time, money, and
engineering effort. This is one of Microsoft's premier products and they've
been perfecting it for a long time and do so because it makes them a lot of
money.

Considering how long it's been around and the limited resources (I assume, I
don't know for sure) that are available for ADT, it's pretty damn good.

Honestly, this thread kind of reminds me of the type of whiny users who
would leave 1-star ratings for an image editor app because it's not as good
as PhotoShop. Most of us have gotten these kinds of "reviews" and it's
freaking annoying.

Complaining and comparing the tool to VS without even clarifying what the
issues are doesn't help anyone. Leave some useful, constructive criticism
for the developers. Like I said before, they're on this list and are very
responsive.

Also, isn't it open-source? So if it's not good enough for you ... well, um
... quit yer bitchin' and contribute to making it as it good as you think it
should be, eh? :-)

[android-developers] FACEBOOK ANDROID SDK API Problem to get access token

[elioncho]

Hello,

I've been using the Facebook class on the FACEBOOK ANDROID SDK to sign
up users with Facebook on my Android app. The authorize method has an
onComplete callback where I call the getAccessToken method and it just
works. The problem that I encounter right now is when I call the
dialog method to post a message to the user wall. Sometimes the user
may not be login to facebook and once the "feed dialog" is called it
shows first the authorize or "sign up" dialog. My guess is that I
should also be able to call the getAccessToken on the onComplete
callback of the dialog but nothing is returned. Does anyone knows a
workaround for this?

[android-developers] Replace ADBD on emulator

[TheVirus]

I am trying to debug some adbd stuff for an app I'm writing but I need
more debug output. I've compiled adbd from AOSP source but cannot find
out how to overwrite it on the emulator. I've copied it to /sdcard and
tried copying it but when I restart the emulator, it reverts. It seems
the emulator can't properly close when I remount the rootfs with rw
permission and I'm not sure why.

I looked into building yaffs2 into my kernel but the documentation is
outdated and I'm not sure how to do it.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10.

Thanks

Is it slow on the emulator only? What device are you testing with?

[android-developers] Response time for web app on android

[cipher_neo]

I have a small javascript keypad which is used for loggin into a web
application.

It is very responsive on the desktop, but when I view the web app
through the browser in the android tablet, the response is sluggish.

I need to be able to make the keypad very responsive, it will serve as
a kind of calculator in the web app, and a user should be able to tap
the buttons pretty quickly.

I simply have each number in the keypad wrapped in a div which has an
onclick event launched every time a key is clicked, which, in turn,
displays the key that has been pressed.

Is there any way to increase the responsiveness of it?

thanks

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Layouts Are Horrible

[Chris Stewart]

At the end of the day, it comes down to an allocation of resources on
Google's part.  I'd much rather have them spending time innovating Android,
it's APIs, the Android Market, and so forth, rather than building a better
GUI editor because people don't want to put in the time to learn how to do
it.  There are beautiful user experiences on the Android platform -- so it's
a matter of putting away the "hold my hand" mentality of Visual Studio and
learning how it's done.

Would I like a better editor?  Of course.  But not at the expense, or
opportunity cost, of innovating in more compelling areas of Android.

Yes, use Views or Fragments, as I said.

Look through the documentation for TabView or Fragment. You should find
plenty of info.
