[android-developers] Re: How is your app selling on the Amazon Appstore?

[Droid]

My app was tested in India (I knew this cos of an inn app widget
giving me locations) and three weeks later appeared in Amazon market.

It is a free app and gets hardly any downloads or feedback whereas in
google market it get loads of downloads and feedback.

Not impressed with Amazon app store yet. Google market way way way
better.

[android-developers] BitmapSize exceeds VM budget out of memory error

[Droid]

I use images that often me this error: BitmapSize exceeds VM budget
out of memory error.
It depends on  the device

Can I check my devices VM budget programmatically or in technical
specs? I have no idea which devices
have good VM budgets and which have low budgets, so I cannot target.

At present I am using a try catch for programme flow, but its bad bad
programming and very clunky too.

Similar here. My free app gets between 100 and 200 downloads a day on
Android Market, and only about 1 per day via Amazon Appstore.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Fragmentation-resistant product design

[Bob Kerns]

I'm not sure we're not talking past each other. Let me make my case against
using device identity a bit more clear, and see if you don't agree.

Let's say we have a device, the iDroidMax, which has the nasty habit of the
screen cracking, if you perchance display a certain icon, an apple.

You're writing your code, you have heard about the bug. So you detect the
device. Let's consider three example detections:
* iDroidMax
* iDroidMax Rev0
* iDroidMax Rev0 Android 2.3

Take your pick -- or come up with your own detection. Decide now, and write
your code -- display a peach if it's this device.

Now, let's move into the future, and consider some events.

* The iDroidSuperMax comes out. It has the same bug.
* The iDroidMax Rev 1 comes out. It fixes the bug.
* The iDroidMax Rev 0 is updated to Android 2.3.1, which doesn't have the
bug, but Android 3.x builds don't have the fix until Android 3.0.1

Did you make the right choice? Of course not -- there is no right choice
with direct device detection. Not even if you have a crystal ball.

The problem is, keying things directly to device identity locks you in.

Now, consider a different world. In this one, you don't tie your workaround
(displaying a peach icon) to the device identity. Instead, you tie it to a
little database of characteristics. Let's call it iDroidMaxDamage. It
doesn't matter what we call it of course -- we could even call it iDroidMax,
since it's the defining characteristic of the device. But even with the name
being the same, the outcome is different.

The user starts your app, after one of the above events. If he's not run it
before, or the identity has changed in any detail, we figure it would be a
good time to check for an update to the database -- something we'd get
around to anyway.

Now, once the data makes it into the database, all your iDroidSuperMax users
are protected. And all your iDroidMax Rev 1 and iDroidMax Rev 0 Android
2.3.1 and 3.0.1 users get their nice apple icons like the documentation
says.

And everyone is happy.

So that's what I'm talking about not using device identity. Now, as for
bug/feature detection code -- that's a different story, a different benefit,
and a different cost.  This is an area that has been well-explored by
various Javascript packages that work around various browser bugs and
incompatibilities. The big advantage of direct feature detection is that
it's automatic. Nobody needs to do the work to update every device on every
software or hardware upgrade, and if someone plops a custom build on there
that fixes the bug -- the bug is detected as fixed. Instantly.

So this is a real nice-to-have, because it makes it cheaper to maintain and
more accurate.

But it costs more to develop -- sometimes just a tiny cost -- like detecting
whether a method is present.

Other times, it's prohibitively expensive in one way or another.  For
example, some tests could be security holes, or take too much time, or be
hard to develop.

And sometimes, it's impossible.

That may be what you meant by "you can make the whole thing much lighter".
If so -- you misread my intent. I was describing the overall flow, and where
this sort of thing should fit in. If we detect a camera, and assert the
device has a camera, then we assume it has a camera -- but we can override
that for a device that claims to have a camera, and has a camera -- but to
get to it, you have to take out the battery. Then, your model-based feature
derivation would override this detection, and assert the device does not
have a camera (perhaps with additional localizable explanatory text, if you
want to get fancy).

And then in the final step, you go on to assert that if it doesn't have a
camera, we set the LiveWebCamCapable attribute to false.

If "has a camera" is detected, you save on having every model's feature set
supply that information. Likewise, the basic characteristics of the camera.
You get all the benefits of using the native API to determine this
information, but you also get the benefit of additional information --
including corrections, missing information, etc.

Actually -- this also brings up a model issue. It's not just devices and
attributes -- but also resources. For example, a description of internal and
external SD-card memory capabilities would be helpful -- asking about SD
cards might give a list of SD descriptions: [{name=internal0,
removable=false, location=/sdcard}, {name=external1, removable=true,
location=/sdcard/1}, {name=external2, removable=true, location=/sdcard/2}].
Asking about cameras might give you front-and-rear, and point out the nice
flash is attached to the front-facing camera to blind yourself with, and not
helpful for taking that family photo.

But we can start with device attributes, and the core is the ones based on
model identity.

And now I noticed, that not only did they change the descriptions (I can

[android-developers] Re: How to prevent my application from being killed?

[Ali Chousein]

a) Don't do time consuming calculations in the main thread. If you do,
the man thread gets blocked and your application will be killed by the
framework. If you need to do time consuming calculations, use threads
for that purpose. If you don't block the main thread, the framework is
not going to kill your application, unless you are doing something
else wrong.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Fragmentation-resistant product design

[Bob Kerns]

Thanks; I was seriously considering starting something, but won't have time
for a few days, so I'm glad you dove in.  I'd be pleased if you added me to
the project.

I do have one little quibble -- 'defect'. While detecting defects is perhaps
the most important use case, I don't think we want to limit it to defect
detection, and I think it somewhat biases the model.

I think it's better to think of it as device attributes, which can include
defects, but can also include corrected screen dimensions, camera color
model information, actual measured optical resolution, accelerometer
sensitivity and noise floors, icons that match the icons on the buttons on
the device to plug into your help text...

Defects are the place to start, though -- the most bang for the buck.

[android-developers] Re: Menus for tabs do not show in action bar

[Steve]

An good workaround is described in the docs, under User Interface,
Creating Menus.  This will allow me to implement dynamic menus in
TabActivity.

On Android 2.3 and lower, the system calls onPrepareOptionsMenu() each
time the user opens the Options Menu.

On Android 3.0 and higher, you must call invalidateOptionsMenu() when
you want to update the menu, because the menu is always open. The
system will then call onPrepareOptionsMenu() so you can update the
menu items.


Despite this, the behavior of onCreateOptionMenu on honeycomb is still
not what I expected.

[android-developers] Non-US buyers still charged in US$.

[Zsolt Vasvari]

I have prices set in all the different currencies supported by the
Android Market, but still, frequently, I got buyers who get charged in
US$ even though they are in a country that has a supported currency.
It seems to happen the most often with UK buyers.  With this, I am
losing quite a bit of money as my prices are higher outside of the US.

It not at all surprising that the Google Market Team couldn't even get
this right, but before I complain to them (to no avail, for sure),
does anybody else get this?

[android-developers] Re: Menus for tabs do not show in action bar

[Zsolt Vasvari]

Here's the class (basically) I use to safely call
invalidateOptionsMenu() on Honeycomb or pre-Honeycomb:


public class SDKLevel11TabletBridge
{
private static SDKLevel11TabletInterface intf;
private static boolean   intfLoaded;


private interface SDKLevel11TabletInterface
{
void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity);
}


private static class SDKLevel11TabletInterfaceImpl implements
SDKLevel11TabletInterface
{
@Override
public void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity)
{
activity.invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
}


private SDKLevel11TabletBridge()
{
// Nothing to do
}


static
{
intfLoaded = false;
}


private static void ensureInterface()
{
if (!intfLoaded)
{
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=
Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
intf = new SDKLevel11TabletInterfaceImpl();

intfLoaded = true;
}
}


public static void invalidateOptionsMenu(Activity activity)
{
ensureInterface(activity);

if (intf != null)
intf.invalidateOptionsMenu(activity);
}
}


I am saying basically, because I am also checking that it is actually
a tablet by putting a bool resource into the values-xlarge-v11 folder.

[android-developers] Notify when media file is inserted in MediaStore

[manigault]

Hi all. How can i be notified when new media file is inserted into
media store. For example when is downloaded from the net. I found some
posts on this topic but they are not very helpful.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/230643/android-api-for-detecting-new-media-from-inbuilt-camera-mic
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4604223/how-to-detect-file-or-folder-changes-in-android

Is there a way to register BroadcastReceiver to listen listen for some
broadcasts when the file is inserted ? The only solution i see which i
don't want to implement is to use use long live service on to register
ContentObserver and somehow to keep track of the new tracks. So any
help will be helpful.

Hi all...  Im trying to make an application that receives SMS, but i

[android-developers] cURL on Android vs C calls to Java

[Jim]

My existing native 'c' code uses libcurl to make http requests.  I'd
like to continue to make these calls from the native code.

Option 1 - port curl to android.  I have had no luck with this so
far.  Various people claim to have done it, but I can't figure it
out.  Some people said you have to recompile the android system code
to get it to work.

Option 2 - make reverse calls (figure out how to call Java (HttpPost)
from the native 'c' code).

Both of these are turning into mini projects in and of themselves.

Any suggestions from all you experts?

Jim

[android-developers] Android Developer console not updating

[AI Factory]

It is a source of frustration that the Android market Console is
erratic in its updating. For example one of our apps has seen no
updates for download counts for 10 days now, but is rapidly climbing
the charts, so is clearly doing well. The new "statistics" button
provided shows the downloads are happening as it lists download totals
for multiple successive days that proves that the main tabulated
summary is way out-of-date. So Android clearly do have these figures
at hand, as the stats prove, but the logged tabulated totals somehow
do not get these.

This is common to all our apps, but usually more typically with a 2 to
4 days when updates do not happen. This is an annoying impediment for
our product tracking.

I'm looking for a place to effectively complain about this!

I assume that others are seeing the same thing?

[android-developers] Custom view and horizontal scrolling

[yasir perwez]

I am facing two issue here.

1. If I create HorizontalScrollView and add custom view using
HorizontalScrollView.addview() the application did not crash but

my custom view is not display. It onDraw never gets called.

2. In other approach if I use XML and specify my custom view as child
of HorizontalScrollView then the application crashes.
And I could not figure out how to provide agrument if to custom
view constructor when using XML approach.

You need to make the view that is a child of the scroll view actually
larger in size than the scroll view so there is something to scroll.
Further questions on this would best be asked on android-developers or
StackOverflow.

[android-developers] Missing USB driver for WiFi Galaxy Tab?

[UdneyHay]

Since the android-beginners forum is apparently no more, I'm hoping
someone here might help me. If not please redirect to an appropriate
forum.

I'm attempting to test an android app on my brand new wifi Tab. The
app is working in the emulator but neither adb nor the SDK manager can
find the Tab. When I plug the Tab into the USB port of my Windows7 PC
and use Mass Storage mode I can transfer files in and out of the Tab
with no problem. But when I switch the Tab to enable USB debugging and
then plug it in I get no indication that the PC can see it. Is there a
separate or additional USB driver that needs to be loaded to get the
Tab to work in USB debug mode? I see links to OEM USB Drivers in the
Dev Guide but the link for the WiFi Galaxy seems to be broken?

[android-developers] Maven and Emma

[Jose H. Espinosa]

Hi all,

I am trying to run emma code coverage inside the android simulator using maven.

This are the steps that I am following:
1. Build, install and test my app
   mvn clean install
2. Try to run the application with emma enable
   adb shell am instrument -w -e coverage true
com.example.android.apis.tests/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

But I get this error:
Error: Failed to generate emma coverage. Is emma jar on classpath?

The problem is that the target application has not been Emma
instrumented.  I have succesfully get the coverage data using ant as
provided by the sdk but I need to stick with maven.

Can anybody shade some light on how to run Emma code coverage from Maven?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Advanced Medialets Question...

[midimid]

For those who've used medialets - having a problem dynamically setting
the ap_id.

I have a couple of apps that use an android Library. Medialets uses an
"app_id" string in the strings.xml of the app. All of the
functionality for the ads is in the Library code (see below), but each
app needs to have its own unique medialets app id.

Here's how the app is laid out:

App1 - MainActivity.class -> extends Activity, sets up some
parameters, starts the Library's main activity and finishes.
App1's strings.xml has the medialets app_id.

Library - LibraryActivity.class -> extends an abstract Medialets
wrapper class, and runs a method of that class to initiate the ads.
Library - Medialets wrapper class -> extends AdManager (Medialets)

Here's the problem - if the Library does not have a proper medialets
app_id in its strings.xml, the ads fail. As soon as I make sure it has
a proper app_id, it works fine.

The Android docs make it very clear that when using a Library,
conflicting files are "merged" with the Library and the class using
the Library always overrides. When I debug Medialets, I can in fact
confirm that the proper key is being sent to them. But sure enough,
unless a proper app_id is IN the Library's strings.xml, the ads do not
work.

Any thoughts?

[android-developers] Creating a background running service to auto turn on/off auto sync when wifi is turned on/off

[Omkar]

Hi,
I want to create a background running service which will get auto
triggered and then set background data and sync property on / off
automatically when wifi is set on / off.

So basically I need a no UI service which will set background data and
sync properties on / off depending on whether Wifi is turned on / off.
The service need not be constantly running / started at boot time, if
there are other alternatives to starting the same.

Pls guide, if this is possible in Android (specifically Froyo and and
above) and basic steps to do so.

Thanks
Omkar

Re: [android-developers] Ubuntu Natty Narwhal and ADB

[nigel]

Thanks Amit;
I already tired that until my fingers were blue.

I got it working in the end with a rule that looked like this

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"

Not sure of the reasoning behind it - just googled and tried every option I 
found. I don't know why one handset worked with the rule in the first post 
and the other one didn't - I assume there is some other rule somewhere that 
covers it.

Anyway working now, so happy.

If anyone can explain the need for the SYMLINK+="android_adb" bit, I'd be 
interested, but this is an Ubuntu question really.

[android-developers] OpenSL ES + MetaDataExtraction

[milind kurandwadkar]

Hi All,

We are trying to extract meta data information using OpenSL ES APIs
(Metadataextraction object), But it looks like the feature is not supported
yet. Can anyone confirm this please? Also is this expected in later
releases? We tried this on 2.3.3 release. So as of now what is the
alternative for getting Meta data information?

[android-developers] Basic Question

[Prayag]

Hi guys,

I am a Newbie and I have a basic question for which I couldnt get any
answer yet.
What is the need to use two keywords to express that the given
activity is the main activity.
eg. We write the code




My question is that cant it be implicit that the main activity will
launch itself. If not, it would be great if somebody can give me an
example in which the activity is a main activity and not a launcher or
vice versa.

Prayag

[android-developers] Issues on Samsung Galaxy S - Android app crashes

[shiva]

Hi,

I am Android developer with experience of more than 40 applications
launched on Android Market.

I have developed a straight forward app which pulls huge data from web
services in XML format and process the data and renders them on the
app as per the business logic. I am using Sony Xperia x10 for testing
and the app is running without any issues. Also tested on some other
models/devices the app is running perfectly. Whereas the same app
crashes and some times facing trouble in receiving data If tested on
Samsung Galaxy S phone under the same test conditions. I went through
the logs and No clue what's happening.

Can anybody help or share their thoughts who have faced problems on
Samsung Galaxy S phone?

Are there any performance issues in Samsung Galaxy S from a Firmware
perspective?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward for your valuable inputs.

Regards,
Shiva

Re: [android-developers] openning PDF with password

You would need to ask that question of the author of whichever PDF

are trying to support all of them.

None of them are part of the Android OS or SDK.

Hi

Thanks for your feedback here on Google groups and the Developer blog.
At the moment there is no turning back after unlocking the bootloader
which is clearly stated in the instructions.
However, we are looking into alternatives such as sharing information
on how to build your own custom ROM with root access.

Since curl runs on lots of platforms, I am surprised that there are
problems here. You might inquire on the [android-ndk] list with your
specific problems, rather than a generic "had no luck" statement.
There are people over there that have discussed this issue:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/msg/d7fccf8638523d20
http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/d51a63c077a775e0/c178446407ab5238

And, for any NDK/JNI work, the [android-ndk] list is the proper list,
not this list.

[android-developers] Re: How to check telephony is available

[vadim]

Checking the phone number will not necessarily work. As I understand
it, it's up to the carrier to write the phone number onto the SIM
card, and some don't. My T-Mobile Nexus One reports it as unknown.

The right reason to use this is to set up an AlarmManager schedule to
get control on a periodic basis.

99.99% of Android apps do not need to have a service start up at boot
time and remain running all of the time.

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your "force close".
Then, fix the bug(s).

I did something like this using "on device-added-*" and "on
device-removed-*" triggers in init.rc.

In init.rc -->

service xyz /system/bin/xyz
  disabled

on device-added-/dev/
  xyz start

on device-removed-/dev/
  xyz stop

[android-developers] Re: Use of files

[Jernej K.]

I found the problem!

I used the if statement wrong :)

But I can confirm you have in Android native code accessibility to
local files created in java - files create on application level, where
other applications can not see your file!

Now I can write to files in native code and read them in java!

[android-developers] what is possibly wrong in this SIMPLE animation???

[Rakib]

when the button is clicked, i want it to move down by 100 pixels and fade 
out i want it all to happen in 2 seconds.

AnimationSet myAnimationSet = new AnimationSet(true);
myAnimationSet.setDuration(2000);
myAnimationSet.addAnimation(new AlphaAnimation(1.0f, 0.0f));
myAnimationSet.addAnimation(new TranslateAnimation(0, 0, 0, 100));
System.out.println("before starting animation);
v.startAnimation(myAnimationSet);
System.out.println("after starting animation);

both the *System.out.println* messages appear when this code is executed. 
But on the device, the buttons just disappear in a split second and come 
back again without having any of the fade out translation animations

Hi,

I got a phone BLU-tango (http://www.bluproducts.com/downloads.html

I have windows vista and I read that in order to test my application
on the device I need the "OEM USB Drivers", the problem is that I find
nothing about this phone (so that it can use as a "device developer")

Anyone have ideas? Can you help me? Can i use other drivers for this
phone?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Video on 2.1 causes browser text to increase

[Rebecca Sliter]

Quick question regarding a weird bug I've found on the mobile site I'm
building--

Whenever I play video on my phone (running 2.1), exiting the video to
return to the site causes all text on the page to increase in size.
Any ideas why this would happen?

[android-developers] Adjust ringer volume for incoming calls

[Josh]

I'm currently using a BroadcastReceiver on
android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE to detect when an incoming call is
arriving.  Then, after checking a few user values, I attempt to alter
the ringer volume using the following code.


aMan = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
aMan.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
aMan.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING,
aMan.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING), 0);
Toast.makeText(context, "We Made It!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This code works fine on several phones (N1, Evo, Droid) but a few it
doesn't work on (Epic 4g, Moment).  From my testing, it looks like
once the ringtone starts playing on those problem phones, the newly
adjusted ringer volume isn't taken into account.  Silent mode is
turned off and the ringer volume is turned up, but no ringtone can be
heard for the current incoming call.

Is there a way to fix this?  If I could get a reference to the global
ringtone and restart it somehow that would work.  Any thoughts you
have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Programming Android without any other experience......

[Francisco Dalla Rosa soares]

A good start, and it was pretty much my start:

First of all, http://developer.android.com/ is your friend. The developer
website may not have everything but it is very detailed and has a lot of
material to start.

So here we go:

1. Do the Hello World Tutorial (it seems like you did it already, congrats!)
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html

- Here you'll learn how to set up the environment and the very very basic
stuff.


2.Do the notebook tutorial
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html

- Now that you have a very very basic app and the environment there,  let's
learn something nicer. Here you'll learn some more concepts that you're
gonna use in almost every app you make.

3. Check the Hello Views Tutorial to understand how to make the layout you
want (at least the basics)
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/index.html

4. Try to understand the concepts behind Android:
Activities -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/activities.html
Services -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html
Content Providers -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html
Intent Filters -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html
Processes and Threads -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/processes-and-threads.html
User Interface - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/index.html
Resources - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/index.html
Data Storage -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html
Security and Permissions -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html
Android Manifest -
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

5.Check out the sample codes to have an idea of how to do the stuff you
wanna do
http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=sample

6.Google the stuff you don't know

7. Ask here or at Stack Overflow the stuff you don't understand

Good luck ;D

the Menu.

The Menu is called normally if I click on the menu button in the

But I couldnt find a way to call the menu since I click on one item
from the ListView.

 final ListView listProfile =
((ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvListView));
listProfile.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick(AdapterView adapter, 
View view,  int
position, long id){
idRow = position; //t
 WHAT  I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS CALL THE
onCreateOptionsMenu  HERE
THAT MEANS, WHEN o CLICK ON THE ITEM IN THE ListView
}
});

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
 super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

[android-developers] Re: Fragmentation-resistant product design

[Vikram Bodicherla]

So coming back to my question, any advice on design for now?

The android developers blog suggests abstracting APIs like the
Contacts API. But it is not practical to go around abstracting all
system APIs. Neither would be want to put in model-specific if-else
clauses at different places in the application. How can we stand on
middle-ground here?

Bob, can you please elaborate on your method? How can a system of
rules be designed so as to capture differences in EXIF timestamps that
I mentioned?

[android-developers] Re: Widget tables

[Niall]

I got a solution... I think. 

My widget layout is defined in a file called main.xml. In this I put in a 
vertically orientated LinearLayout ID'd as tableRowContainer.
I then added a row.xml layout definition. This only contains another linear 
layout, ID'd as tableColContainer. 
I furthermore added a col.xml layout definition that contains a TextView 
with a pre-defined text field.  

In the function that updates I then tried the following--

RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews( context.getPackageName(), 
R.layout.main );

}

since i can not get work same encryption method in php webserver, i do
it using jsp webserver.
but the result of the encryption is not same.
example:
plain: test
key: 123456
encrypt: 1D402811E4FDD1B14412B3E1AA328450

but in the android, i got: ACE3D0F0C96B2B13DDD6372A61DFCAA5

i did print both of the code, to check if one of them have different,
but it is same.

can someone help what possible wrong or what i should check in both
code?
or.. the encryption method is not match by the one done with jsp ?
