Re: [android-developers] Re: Moving from free app to a paid model

[Chris]

I already have an export to SD, import to whatever version design so even if 
I had to force them to install a new app it'd be easy.  I'm mostly worried 
about what the conversion rate might be.  My app is based on long-term data 
storage and analysis, so old users who simply can't upgrade (eg, due to 
market limitations & etc.) might be put off.

Most of my traction came from overseas.  Fragmentation is an issue (I really 
want to drop support for Android 1.x) and I'm guessing I'm going to be 
supporting a "final" free version forever.

I'm thinking in-app billing for upgrades to a "pro" version might be the 
best way at this point... any advice on handling this?

Cheers again,
- C

How are you going to dual boot with Linux on a MacBook?  Boot Camp
only supports Windows products.


Um, I've been running various kinds of Linux on my company provided 
MacBookPros for 5+ years without problems. Theoretically, I guess I'm 
"dual booting" (as I kept a small OSX partition just in case), but in 
reality I don't boot that partition. Remember: pretty much anything that 
boots x86 Windows will also work with Linux. These days it isn't even 
particularly tricky to install - in fact, I consider the way the 
multi-touch pad works in Linux better than how it is used in OSX (YMMV).


The MBP hardware is pretty good in my experience, the only iffy part is 
the BCM wifi.



If you want to run any kind of Linux on a MacBook, then you'll need to
get a product such as VMWare or Parallels to run some Linux in a VM
hosted within OS X.


Nope. You certainly can if you like, though.


I've been doing all my Android dev on OS X for two years and haven't
needed Linux for anything, even NDK work.  And I have never had to
find and and install device drivers like my peers using Windows.  One
major exception is with Samsung Galaxy S products -- if you want to
install a new firmware on those devices, you need Windows to run
Samsung's crappy Kies software.


Oh, I have a vbox with Windows on my MacBookPro (currently running 
Ubuntu 11.04) for the odd Windows-only stuff I need to do. Upgraded my 
Milestone that way for instance. So of the three OSes, OSX is actually 
used the least.


Don't get me wrong, these days I could get used to OSX if I had to (I 
selected Linux when OSX still didn't exist), but for various reasons I 
still prefer Linux (comparing uptime with my colleagues - identical 
hardware - I have better uptimes) and Linux is also the target platform 
of my day job.

[android-developers] OBEX OPP Specific transfer

[Shekhar]

Hello,

I am developing an OBEX OPP client application in android
phone.Through the client application
i will send an object to the non Android device (which will act as the
OPP server).I have created the RFCOMM socket connection using the API

createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(OPP_UUID);  I have use the UUID of
the OBEX Push i.e.

private static final UUID OPP_UUID = UUID
.fromString("1105--1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");

I have observed that through this the socket connection is successful
and I got the input and output stream of the socket to send and
recieve the data.But when I send the data the data recieved the other
device is not in the right format. What I mean by this is in the
reciever device the data is recieved with the error. BT Air sniffer
indicates that the in the retrieved_opcode Data is not present.OBEX
response code is Bad request.

Can anyone guide me what is wrong in this ? or the steps to make an
OBEX OPP connection with the device which is not paired.

Your valuable inputs will help me to overcome this.

Thanks,
Shekhar

[android-developers] Re: 回覆：Re: 回覆：facebook

[Ali Chousein]

Warenix,

First, it was not me who asked the question, I answered to Bob's post.

Second, it's very poor practice to make one application depend on
another. Once again, an application should be developed on a stand-
alone way; its correct execution should not depend whether a user
installed some other application from the market or not. Maybe someone
would choose this approach for pure marketing reasons. Technically
it's not required and practically is not desirable.

Last but not least; Facebook provides an Android SDK which is very,
very helpful. However, using this SDK definitely does not depend on
whether or not you've installed the official Facebook application.
I've not checked the latest version, maybe they let the SDK interact
with the official application (pure marketing reasons) but interacting
with the Facebook Graph API does not depend whether or not you've
installed the official Facebook application on your device.

-Ali

[android-developers] XLIFF for changing text value in TextView

[JR]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to change the text value in TextView using the src file
(.java). By default I set the value to

android:text="TEST" in main.xml file under TextView

what I want is to change the value using the java so I can change the
text value anytime I want. I look for resources and found the XLIFF in
a sample xml file which I suspect I need to add in my code. It looks
like this

connected to %1$s

I tried to understand the source codes of "BluetoothChat" sample to
further understand the above code but I don't get it.

If someone knows what I am talking about could you please help me?
basically I only want to change the default text value in TextView
that I set in the xml file through the src file (.java)

Thanks a lot,

JR

[android-developers] How much HTML5 does the Honeycomb Android Browser support?

[Robert Massaioli]

I was wondering how much of the HTML5 spec a Honeycomb Tablet supports. So 
could somebody with 3.0 or 3.1 please go to this page and tell me what 
results you get? http://html5test.com/index.html

I hereby swear that this is not a spam link. I really want to know what 
HTML5 features I can use.

[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

[Streets Of Boston]

The original question wat about *consuming* web services, not necessarily 
creating them. The answer to your question is:
 

   - When you don't have control of server-side that provides the REST 
   services, and/or 
   - When the REST services are going to be accessed by more than just 
   mobile clients
   Due to small screen real estate, mobile clients could show a smaller view 
   on the data/resources retrieved from a REST service (less items, less 
   detail) while other clients, such as desktop clients, could show/handle in 
   full detail the entire representation returned by that same REST service.

Don't you need to set the same sharedUserId in both apps for this to work?
(unless prefs are WORLD_READABLE). If the first app is already published
without a sharedUserId, will adding it in a next version break things? AFAIK, ,
adding sharedUserId changes the app's UID.

Perhaps you're right. I've always believed it was because they could be 
shared between apps, but I haven't seen support for either of our positions 
in the documentation.

In any case, I would agree that expecting them to synchronize between 
processes in real time is, um, unrealistic, but they definitely do work for 
the simple case of one app being able to read the prefs which another has 
written. Both apps need the same signature, AFAIK, and you need to be

[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

[Streets Of Boston]

I would make this argument instead: REST or SOAP?
 
A big part of creating a seamless experience on mobile devices is to be able 
to handle* limited connectivity* (temporary loss of connection) and to have 
*stateless* (remote) services available (user can access data directly 
without going through a list of other prior service-calls to get there). 
 
SOAP can't handle this very well. SOAP is very stateful. It's much like RPC 
where the caller often needs to be aware of the server's state to make 
correct calls. 
SOAP calls are hard to cache. And you'll need a cache if you want to handle 
limited connectivity.
 
REST is better suited to deal with this. True RESTful services are stateless 
(you could have a cookie for authentication, for example, but no more than 
that should be stored in a stateful session). RESTful services are designed 
to handle caches efficiently. 
 
In addition, SOAP is more involved, more complex to handle. REST is much 
easier. 
 
If you choose REST, then there's another choice you can make: Which format? 
You can choose XML (applicatin/xml) or JSON (application/json) (GSON), which 
are 2 of the most popular formats for REST.
Personally, I would choose XML because Android already includes pull and 
push parsing of XML data from the server. Pull and push parsing allows you 
to only read the parts of the REST response in which your app is interested 
and skip the rest: somewhat better performance, much better memory usage for 
larg REST responses.
 
In short: If you can chose everything, i would choose REST services using 
XML.

How are you going to dual boot with Linux on a MacBook?  Boot Camp
only supports Windows products.

If you want to run any kind of Linux on a MacBook, then you'll need to
get a product such as VMWare or Parallels to run some Linux in a VM
hosted within OS X.

I've been doing all my Android dev on OS X for two years and haven't
needed Linux for anything, even NDK work.  And I have never had to
find and and install device drivers like my peers using Windows.  One
major exception is with Samsung Galaxy S products -- if you want to
install a new firmware on those devices, you need Windows to run
Samsung's crappy Kies software.

[android-developers] Running activity with parameter from status bar notification

[ivan harmady]

Hi all, I'm trying to run my activity from notification with
parameter. The content of activity depends on parameter i send to
activity with intent. It should open my activity when i click on the
information which gives the notification, but the screen does not
change and still remains the same, no matter which activity is
currently running on screen or if I am on my home screen.

Here is my code for notification:

CharSequence text = "You entered \""+name+"\"";
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, text,
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent intent = new Intent();

// here i say which activity i want to open with click on the
notification
intent.setClassName("com.iwaneez", "com.iwaneez.PlaceSettings");

// here i add my parameter
intent.putExtra("ID", Integer.toString(ID));
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
intent, 0); // creating PendingIntent
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "Mannage place\""+name+"\"",
text, contentIntent);

sNM.notify(R.string.notify, notification);


and here is onCreate() method from PlaceSettings activity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.place_settings);

ID = getIntent().getStringExtra("ID");
loadPlace();
Toast.makeText(this, "ID = "+ID+", Name = "+name,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}



but this activity never starts when i click on the notfication...can
you help me please?? i really need this and I'm out of ideas.

Set your own touch listener on an ImageView that shows your picture
and handle the events in there.  If your ImageView can change size to
suit the screen, be able to handle that.  Or subclass View and do your
own image drawing and event handling in there.  It is not a trivial
amount of work like imagemaps in in HTML.

I think you will have to dive into the Android source for VideoView.
It's setting the anchor view on the media controller and overriding
what you did at the time you call setMediaController.

I have never liked VideoView.  I just copy the source and make it do
what I really want.

How do you know that the activity you launched is supposed to ever
return something other than 0?  You might have to dig into Android
source to know what to expect.

I would just use PackageManager to find out what's installed.

You could put a secondary file in assets that contains the length of
the primary file you're trying to read.  Or you can just hard code the
size into your app.  The assets will not be changing installation
since they are read directly out of the apk file (they are not

[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

[Jxn]

Please...

JSON should be compared to XML.  Both is a way of serialize and
deserialize structured data (like converting between binary and text
representation).

SOAP is a way of calling services on other machines, to do RPC (kind
of) calls.

IF you want to compare SOAP with something using JSON, compare SOAP
with REST-services.
REST is also a way of "calling" services located on another machine,
to do RPC (kind of) calls.

The semantics in SOAP and REST is a bit different.  While SOAP is
(more or less) a RPC, REST is more like accessing a database on
another machine. And it's usually (always?) possible to map REST calls
to SOAP calls and the other way around.  But you change your semantics
doing this.

Um, I think they are shared SharedPreferences because there is one
instance of a particular SharedPreferences object shared among all the
components of an application.

Also, be careful with modifying preference between applications
(processes) as the javadoc for SharedPreferences currently sports this
warning:

"Note: currently this class does not support use across multiple
processes. This will be added later."

I'm guessing the risk is that SharedPreferences.Editor doesn't sync up
between processes, so you might run the risk of overwriting prefrences
in one app with changes made in another app.  But I tried it out and
it does work in the simple case of one app reading and writing another
app's prefs.

Apparently anyone over on the Market can ban any app for any reason, which
they of course do not explain, and then leave you with no instructions or
explanation of how to get you app back in good standing and re-published.

>From the many, many posts I've seen on the same topic (just search "app
banned" on the support forum), any attempt to get a clear answer on what
terms were violated or what needs to be done to get the app re-published are
met with useless, automatic replies that are non-answers. No actual human
being from Google's end will respond to your inquiries or help you resolve
the issue.

One can only imagine how frustrating this is for legitimate developers - you
spend time, money, and energy building an app and supporting the platform
and end up getting hit with this bullshit. But, as we all know, no one on
the Android Market team gives a damn about developers, so expecting to get
help from any one of these numb-nuts is a fantasy.

OP: Sadly, your best bet is to probably just re-upload the app as a new
package, even though you run the risk of going through this all over again.
At least it's the free version so you don't have through go through the
nightmare of moving over paid users to a new app.

Good luck.

[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

[DanH]

My "9 out of 10" comment was more with regard to XML -- there are
occasions where the ability to have tag attributes in XML makes for a
neater, more coherent interface than using JSON.

[android-developers] Re: RunOnUiThread loads images randomly !!

[Anm]

If you're loading or generating the images on multiple non-UI threads,
they are probably being added to the view in the order they complete
(of very near that).  If that is not what you want, there are two
things you can do to fix that.

The simplest is to serialize the loading or genration in one thread.
That is, load one image, call runOnUiThread with a runnable to insert
it into the UI, then repeat to load more images.

The more complicated route is to build a synchronized buffer queue (of
sorts) that can store references to the images while wait on others to
complete.  This can either be explicit buffer over built on an array
like structure, or implicitly with something like a chain of
semaphores.  In general, the loader for image #2 will wait for the
loader thread of image #1 to complete its UI update.  This is not
straight forward code, and you need to be very carefully about
exceptions and other edge cases.  Nothing in the that I know off in
the standard libraries will provide this out of the box.

 Here it is Issue log and solution -
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/23d5467e4211c143#

So what you do is make offset for each marker on same lat/lang on hover...

[BOYD SPEER]

Is there no contact at Google where one may appeal such a ban? or is there any 
other way to be heard if such a disaster befalls a developer?

It would seem there would be a world-wide outcry for a more fair marketing 
board if no one can be contacted. Why would not the robot (or human) be 
programmed to send not just a notice of banning but also the reason for the ban.

[android-developers] Re: Application suspended. Why?

[Eurig Jones]

The graphics used in the application were done by myself, but some of
them use the GNU General Public License. There is one image that I
found which is used as the splash screen for the game was taken from a
free desktop background I found on the internet. I tried to chase up
copyright for this particular image but I could not find an owner.

Even if I was to find something in my app, which I really can't see
what as I feel that I've been very careful in its building, how can I
un-suspend the title, and find out what the issue was?

Google?

Please contact me directly to resolve this as I feel I've worked so
hard on this project, just for some unknown un-contactable source to
scrunch it up and throw it all in the bin!

[android-developers] Re: SurfaceView vs View (Canvas Size?)

[Frank]

I managed to speed up my processing noticeably. I previously stored a
tile buffer in an int array. During onDraw, I used
Canvas.drawBitmap(int[] ...). I found this is not as efficient as
Canvas.drawBitmap(Bitmap...). So, I changed to store a tile buffer in
Bitmap. Just to post my solution here so that others could benefit.

Use getSelectedItemPosition() to return the index into your mImageIds array.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Looper.prepare

[Dianne Hackborn]

In this case you wouldn't delegate displaying of a toast to an activity.
 You do, however, need to do this in a thread that is running a message
loop.  That is why it is saying you need to call Looper.prepare() -- that
sets up a message loop for a thread.

If this thread is doing background work like networking, though, you
probably don't want it to run a message loop because the whole point of
having the thread is of course that it won't provide a responsive UI so it
won't provide a responsive message loop for the toast.  In that case, you'll
want to just execute your toast code on the main UI thread.  AsyncTask makes
this easy.  To roll your own, you can just make a static Handler variable
that you post a message to and it takes care of the toast.

static Handler sHandler = new Handler();

// In your thread
sHandler.post(new Runnable()) {
@Override void run() {
// Display the toast.
}
}

You don't, directly. An ImageView does not retain information on where
the image came from. Use getSelectedItemId() or
getSelectedItemPosition() to backtrack and determine the source of the
image.

[android-developers] Building composed shapes

[Paolo]

Hi there!
I need to draw a drawable on a canvas. I'd like to avoid using a png
file, but I'd like to draw it with shapes.
The final result must be an unique drawable composed by two rects
overlayed, one smallest than the other one.

How can I do that in XML? I've seen layer-list but I can't figure out
if it is useful for my achivement besides the fact I have a runtime
exception... .:(

Can anyone hepl me, please?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] getting the current image by resource or filename from Gallery

How do I get the currently-displayed image's filename or R.drawable.

And how many months does it take before you can post via e-mail after

[android-developers] AudioTrack in streaming mode

[Raffaele Sgarro]

I need to stream runtime generated PCM data. This sounds pretty simple, but 
it doesn't work. Pseudo code:

public void run() {
  while(...) {
mAudioTrack.write(whatNoiseDoesThisAnimalMake(mAnimal), ...);
  }
}


mAnimal can be changed from UI obviously. Just in case it matters, I set the 
AudioTrack internal buffer to

0.1 * sampleRate * bitsPerSample / 8

to obtain kinda low latency (100ms). At this time, I can get my sound played 
only once.

回覆：Re: [android-developers] 回覆：Re: 回覆：facebook

[warenix]

the hash key is very tricky as your eclipse debug keystore may be different 
to your release keystore.
so you will have two different hash keys, one for debug  & the other for 
release.

my practice is to use a dummy facebook app id during debug.
and create a real facebook app id for the release.

[android-developers] Re: Portrait Width Delays

I was thinking this is probably just a problem with the emulator since
it takes so long to start up the first time. If that the case, I
wonder if something similar could ever happen on an android device?

[android-developers] Re: Application suspended. Why?

[John Coryat]

Are you using any copyrighted images? You might have included an image that 
contains an embedded watermark or other identification data that caused the 
automated response. What is the source of your graphics? Did you created 
each and every one from scratch or did you get them off the internet? 

The most common mistake developers make is to use graphics from the internet 
in their applications. This is almost always a violation of somebody's 
copyright. If the source took the added step to watermark their materials, 
it's super easy for a robot to check those images and note they violate the 
market terms.

Double check everything in your application for this possibility. Even the 
most innocent error like this could cause your app to be flagged.

Then again, it may just be another SNAFU on the market's side. Certainly 
wouldn't be the first time!

[android-developers] Re: a question of message hooking

[Paul Turchenko]

What you mention here is a thread starving. Generally, there are 2
solutions you can think of:
1. Don't send message to UI thread until prevoius one was dispatched
2. Remove message from UI thread before sending a new one

The mode you choose is up to implementation and depends on how
important is message that is already in UI thread's queue.

[android-developers] right use of monkey --pkg-blacklist-file

[Tiago Maluta]

I'm using monkey to send random events to whole Android system but I'd
like to exclude some "packages" from that. I know there is a option
--pkg-blacklist-file for that but I'm facing some strange behavior.

$ adb push blacklist.txt /data/local
$ adb shell monkey --pkg-blacklist-file /data/local/blacklist.txt
--ignore-crashes -v 2000 --seed 1706492320

My blacklist.txt contains (reading the source leads me to put each
package on different lines):

$ cat blacklist.txt
com.android.settings
com.android.music

But I still got monkey starting audio files, my logcat output:
I/AudioService( 2290):   Remote Control
registerMediaButtonEventReceiver() for
ComponentInfo{com.android.music/com.android.music.MediaButtonIntentReceiver}

Am I missing the right package? I tried add other like "android.media"
or "android.speech" without success in audio blocking...

Best regards,

Write your own picker using the MediaStore information, rather than
relying on a third party.

And your proof of this is... what, exactly?

Use Traceview to determine where your time is being spent. Don't just guess.

Use a ListView or some other AdapterView, so only the views that are
needed by the user at the moment are in memory.

Or, try to consolidate multiple views (e.g., use a SpannedString,
perhaps from Html.fromHtml(), to populate a single TextView rather
than several in a horizontal LinearLayout).

Or, if this is a game, use the 2D or 3D graphics APIs.

[android-developers] Re: Does new Google Music Beta support end user selection of songs via intents

[dsurround]

Thanks Mark.  I tried the suggestion.  Unfortunately, it breaks the
app with the stock music player.  It may fix it with Music Beta, but I
didn't try that since it doesn't work properly with the default player
which is what most people have these days.   The UI doesn't give the
user the opportunity to pick a song to sing along with.   Do you have
any other suggestions?  Appreciate the assistance..

[android-developers] Re: EditText stops displaying characters as I'm typing?

[Eric Carman]

Interesting. I've done as you have suggested (although I'm using the
OnKeyListener, the OP is using the editor action listener) and so far
no issues. I need to test on a different device to be sure (the one
that most frequently demonstrated this issue) and since it is an
intermittent problem, I suppose it will take a bit of testing to make
sure.

Have you run into issues with these listeners and the EditText?

[android-developers] Options for Too Many Views

[Capt Spaghetti]

I am creating a run of the mill golf game and I need to track 76 data
items. I have it functioning but it is slow to load because of the
number of views. I ran layoutopt and received the following output.

   -1:-1 This layout has too many views: 100 views, it should have <=
80!
   -1:-1 This layout has too many views: 92 views, it should have <=
80!
   -1:-1 This layout has too many views: 91 views, it should have <=
80!

What are my options for handling large amounts of data without slowing
down the load time?

Re: [android-developers] Slow motion video

[New Developer]

IF this was answered I apologize
But I have not been receiving mail from the android-developers mailing list 
since friday
anyhow that has been fixed.

Are there any ideas on how to implement slow motion ?

Is there a way to tap into  or Override the   VideoView  play thread ?

Or should I use something else ?

Currently I have my own control buttons and a progress slider (to control speed 
 I hope)
When I click the Play button I call VideoView's  start();

thanks again and sorry if this was already answered.

A service should not be updating the user interface. Please delegate
that to an activity if one of yours is in the foreground, or display a
Notification if there is no such activity and you feel the situation
warrants a Notification. You can use an ordered broadcast to achieve
this:

Well, I've used SOAP in several projects (as in "I've been given a SOAP 
service someone else has built and had to conform to it") and I'm sure 
there ARE real life cases where SOAP is the correct tool for the job, 
but I have yet to find one. My personal estimate is that JSON is the 
right choice almost 10 times out of 10 (at least when it comes to stuff 
that you are likely to want to implement on a phone). Data overhead is 
important to most users both when it comes to cost and time so that 
pretty much disqualifies SOAP IMHO.


Best / Jonas

PS. My biggest gripe is that SOAP services often base64 encode 
everything twice. Sure it is "binary safe", but you can easily add that 
to your tailored JSON data too. YMMV.

Could be.  It was right after I signed up on the list.  I just wish

"editor" on the Android developer's web site.  I hate web-based

how to access the R.drawable.whatever resource for the

see that message anywhere in any of the digests.

If I just missed it, that's fine.  But if nobody knows what post I'm

Re: [android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

Hi Dan,

I was introduced to JSON only very recently and since you seem to
understand the difference between JSON and SOAP much better than I do,
I'm wondering is there really need for both? I mean JSON was very
flexible and easy to use. Only thing I can come up with is the lack of
binary data transferring, otherwise I preferred JSON for database
queries.

[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

[DanH]

Some web services may give you the choice between "SOAP" and "JSON"
remote APIs.  In such a case, whereas SOAP defines much of the
structure of requests and responses, and the conceptual protocols
involved, JSON (by itself) does not (it only defines the basic data
format), so additional info is required from the designers of the
service, and, likely, additional code will have to be written on your
side to handle these things.

When given a choice on an existing service, the choice would depend on
how complex your queries are, and, to an extent, on how well-designed
the ad-hoc JSON protocols are.  For simple queries on a well-designed
site you'd likely end up writing less code with JSON, but for more
complex operations, or if the JSON protocols are not well-defined, it
might be better to use SOAP, if the added overhead doesn't slow things
down too much.

Call getUserAgentString() on the WebSettings object. Is there a
particular problem that you are encountering that is causing you to
try all these other odd things?

If you keep an eye on the sending date of messages (and the flow) it is 
quite easy to tell that new users' messages are often piled up for a few 
days and then some kind of moderator let them the whole pile through 
(presumably after weeding the worst stuff out).


I suspect that once you are approved you stay approved until manually 
blocked. Hence, the spammers (for example some semi-random head hunters) 
may be let through with an innocent message and then turn evil.


Not ideal, but...

It is possible that the email interface is only available to those who
have gotten past the moderation queue or something.

It is issues like this why I steer people to StackOverflow.

[android-developers] Looper.prepare

[Mark Cz]

Hi All,

I am having an Android Service with a worker thread.

>From the worker thread I want to do:
1. Toast.show
2. Get the user agent  - String userAgent = new
WebView(TestAlarmService.this).getSettings().getUserAgentString();

My problem is
if I don't use Looper.prepare
I got an exception which make sense
java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that
has not called Looper.prepare()

I tried a couple of solutions:

A. If I add to my worker thread only one code line
Looper.prepare();
(without looper.loop loop.quit),
I do get the user agent, b
but I don't see the toast, although there are  two CONSECUTIVE log
messages (with a real duration and zero one, but I don't think this is
my problem)
INFO/NotificationService(52): enqueueToast pkg=com.plankton.test.alarm
callback=android.app.ITransientNotification$Stub$Proxy@44cb0eb0
duration=1
INFO/NotificationService(52): enqueueToast pkg=com.plankton.test.alarm
callback=android.app.ITransientNotification$Stub$Proxy@44ca8ea8
duration=0

Can i do a looper.prepare without looper.loop ?

B. If I don't use Looper.prepare, but handler.postDelayed() everything
works fine.
I want to know if it is possible to achieve what I want without using
a Handler ?
And if it is not possible, how can I get the User Agent in a
synchronize way?

Thanks.

Also Groups doesn't relay the posted message back, which combined with the

You mean you CAN send post by sending e-mail to the list?  When I
tried that (my first post), it was rejected, saying the list didn't
accept
posts via e-mail, or something to that effect  GREAT, back to
being able to use vim, see the screen (larger fonts), etc.So
why

[Mark Murphy]

Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your error.

Eclipse has nothing to do with sending SMS.

If you want an Android application to send an SMS, use SmsManager.
