I never thought of that. In the decade+ I've been using the Mac, I have

Sign the application with the same exact keystore you used the first time.
Leave the package name exactly the same as well.
Increase the version code by one.

[android-developers] Gamooga - A platform for realtime apps and multiplayer games

[Kishore]

Hi all,

This is Kishore from Gamooga. I am very excited to introduce you to
Gamooga platform. It offers a very non-intrusive and simple realtime
communication API for your apps and games.

You can upload server side scripts that receive, process and send
messages to your clients. All the responsibility of handling
communication to your clients can be offloaded to Gamooga, so you
donot need to worry about deployment, management, maintenance and
scalability of a very fast communication infrastructure.

Added to this Gamooga offers client side API for multiple platforms:
HTML/JS, Flash/AS3, Android (more platforms coming soon) that you can
use to communicate with your server side scripts. It directly implies
that different versions of apps/games for each of these platforms can
seamlessly communicate with each other using Gamooga platform. So its
very well possible that you have a Multiplayer Soccer over Facebook in
Flash being played with another user over Android using communication
backends of Gamooga.

Gamooga also offers a NoSQL based Key-Value store that you can use for
persistence in your games. Along with this, the platform also offers
streaming capabilities for your apps for transport of audio, video and
other binary data.

Website: http://www.gamooga.com/
Docs: http://www.gamooga.com/dev/docs/
Getting started: http://www.gamooga.com/dev/docs/started.html
Android API: http://www.gamooga.com/dev/docs/clientandroid.html

We are very eager for your feedback. Please reply me by posting in our
group: http://groups.google.com/group/gamooga-dev/ or email me at:
kish...@gamooga.com

Thanks,

Kishore Annapureddy,
Founder, Gamooga.

Depends for who you want to write your Android app for.

[android-developers] Re: Java book (like C K&R and C++ Programming Language)

[Indicator Veritatis]

All the books 'fadden' recommends are quite good. Eckel even makes
earlier editions of his book available for free online.

But there is one more book that I think seriously deserves mention
here, even though none of these is a "Java equivalent for K&R (there
isn't one)": that is O'Reilly Press's Head First series book on it,
http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-Kathy-Sierra/dp/0596009208. This
whole series is the only technical series to take advantage of the
best and latest results in cognitive science to present the material
in such a way that it is efficiently and effectively absorbed by the
reader.

Re: [android-developers] Loading a Class from APK with the permissions in that apk

[Dianne Hackborn]

This is not how Android works.  Permissions are associated with uids, the
uid is assigned to an app when it is installed, the process it runs in has a
uid which is the sole entity that determines its permissions.

If you want to have code from .apks running under different permissions,
that code must be in different .apks, running in a process owned by that
.apk, and thus running under the uid of that .apk.

Re: [android-developers] Animate Dialogfragment

[Dianne Hackborn]

This has nothing to do with fragments; DialogFragment is just a wrapper
around a Dialog to help manage its lifecycle.  Dialogs are top-level windows
so their animations are window animations, just like when you use Dialog in
all other situations.  You thus control the animations of dialogs through
the theme or explicit window animation style you have set in its
WindowManager.LayoutParams.

[android-developers] Animated map overlay refresh interval

[Joan Pujol]

I want to animate a MapView Overlay and I have some doubts with the API.
If I want to update the animation every 1 second can I say that?

Because the only related controls that I can see is that I receive a when 
parameter and I can return a parameter saying that animation hasn't 
finished.
But at what interval rate is called the draw method if I return always true?

If its called every few milliseconds it's a lot of innecesary draw. Can I 
limit or control that?

A lot of thanks in advance,

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that the 
Honeycomb emulator is just not usable. 

But looking on the bright side, the pre-Honeycomb emulators are mostly not 
too bad. Gingerbread has a few specific issues, and sure, they are a lot 
slower than a real device, but they are generally usable.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 3.1 is too slow

[Chris Stewart]

"Use a real device" is a good answer, especially when it comes to Honeycomb
as the market stands today.  It will likely fragment some over time but I
highly doubt it will turn into what the phone market has.

Frankly, I'd rather pay $400 for a tablet than even fire up the emulator
once. If you expect to release your app and support the platform in a
first-class way, you'll need one eventually anyway.

It depends on the lifetime of TestClass. If TestClass lives for less
time than does the Activity, there's no problem.

[android-developers] Animate Dialogfragment

[Christer Nordvik]

Is it possible to animate a DialogFragment when it appears? I want a
flip animation (from zero width and then "flip" into view, but nothing
happens when I try to animate it.

I asked the question here also (no answers):
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6129567/is-it-possible-to-animate-a-dialogfragment

My relevant code:

FragmentTransaction ft =
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
InfoDialogFragment newFragment = InfoDialogFragment.newInstance();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.grow_in, R.anim.fadeout);
ft.add(newFragment, "dialog");
ft.commit();
...
public class InfoDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {

Hi Mark,

Thank you, I've added a Toast to my wprotatorReciever onReceive routine

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "wprotatorReciever",

wpService.sendWakefulWork( context );
}

Although it is getting into the onReceive every 5 seconds, it is not 
performing the service...this is the same code that is scheduled when 
running normally and it works then but not after a reboot.


Thank you,
Simon

[android-developers] RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED problem

Its been a while since I first posted regarding this problem, I've been

the code:

I can see from the Toast in my class that the onReceive method is being

Here is the onReceive code:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

// Do nothing rotation is manual!

PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i,
0);
long lngInterval = clsWallpaper.getInterval(
settings.m_intRotation, settings.m_lngInterval );

am.setRepeating( AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,

Re: [android-developers] Re: Java book (like C K&R and C++ Programming Language)

[Kristopher Micinski]

Overall,  I'd have to say that Java is a much easier language to program in
than C++.

It's probably not a good idea long term, but I found that most of it I could
figure out just by following my nose.  If you know C++, I'd say that you
should just start to look at Java code, and see how it fits together.

After a few months, you should be able to understand the actual standard
fairly easily, and you will probably even be able to understand pretty well
how java translates to JVM code.  The translation process for java -> JVM is
much easier than, say, C++, where understanding a C++ compiler is something
that probably takes a career worth of thinking.

Along with that, understanding the JVM might also give some insight into
what you're really doing, taking a look at the JVM bytecode layout,  and
then Dalvik (I must admit, I still haven't taken the time to do this as much
as I should) will probably help too.

(Actually, on a side note, looking at a java compiler -- there are many open
source ones out there, google "java compiler paper" -- is actually an
enlightening experience from a compiler design perspective, because it
elides all of the low level details you might want to think about
separately).

So try getting an idea of all the details of Java by looking at code, then
look at the language spec (*Free online*!) and then after a while the JVM
spec, then this: http://www.milk.com/kodebase/dalvik-docs-mirror/docs/

Of course. There is no testMethod() implemented on Activity. If you
want to reference testMethod(), you have to pass a MainActivity to
TestClass' constructor, not just an Activity.

> I've been trying to solve this issue for a few days with no success.

Since you are new to Java, I recommend you stop Android development
for a few months and learn Java outside of Android. Trying to learn
Java and Android at the same time will be very frustrating, as most
Java educational resources do not deal with the things that are odd
about Android.

As you spend your months learning Java, I recommend that you learn
about Java interfaces.

[android-developers] IMarketBillingService

[mscarafo]

I have a project in my Eclipse workspace. It is a java library to be
used in an AIR application.
I have created a new package in the project named
'com.android.vending.billing'. This package contains
'IMarketBillingService.aidl' from the Billing Demo application. Once
the file is added to the project an 'IMarketBillingService.java gets
created. So far so good. BUT, there isn't a 'Stub' class created. As a
result I cannot import
'com.android.vending.billing.IMarketBillingService' into any file. I
get an error that it can't resolve the import. Here's the rub. I can
import the 'Dungens' demo into my workspace and it works fine. I have
also created a test project in my workspace and it works fine. It
creates the 'Stub' class and I am able to import
'com.android.vending.billing.IMarketBillingService' into my files. The
question I have is:
Is there a setting that you know of that would disable the generation
of the 'Stub' class? Thanks for any help you can give in this matter.

[android-developers] Loading a Class from APK with the permissions in that apk

[Mahender]

Hi,
 We are building a framework as a service and the framework uses
the datasources to get data from different sources like Facebook,
GMail, Calls, GPS, Battery Information etc. So the development of
framework is separate and the development of datasources is seperate.

Whenever there is a need for data in the framework, the datasources
class is dynamically loaded from the APK.

So the problem is with the permissions. The permissions in framework
is different from the permission defined in datasources.apk

When I load the class from datasources APK in the framework project I
am getting permission denied error for sources dependent on GPS,
Battery Information.

Is there any way to load the required permissions from the datasources
APK in the framework.

Regards,
Mahender

[android-developers] How to call an Activity method from another Java class in Android

[Reza]

In my main activity I am having a method that I need to call from a
secondary java class. I used the constructor of the secondary java
class to receive reference to the main Activity. I then tried to use
this reference to invoke that method from the body of the secondary
java class. But java doesn't recognize that method through the passed
reference?


My main Activity is as below:

public class MainActivity extends Activity{
   public void onCreate(){
TestClass mTestClass = new TestClass(this); 
   }

   public   testMethod(){
 // do some work here
   }
}


now, in my TestClass.java I receive reference to the MainActivity:

public class TestClass{

   public TestClass(Activity mActivity){
  mActivity.testMethod();  //Android/Java doesn't recoginze
testMethod here
   }
}

I've been trying to solve this issue for a few days with no success. I
urgently need your help and would appreciate any suggestion!

P.S. The TestClass will act as a library that everyone can call it
from their android application. In other words, I provide the
TestClass as the library. The user then implements the content of a
method that will be executed whenver certain conditions are met. Thus,
I need to call that specific method (which will be defined by the user
in their own Activity) through a reference which is passed by the user
to my library class

[android-developers] SSL Socket Connection fails after network cut

[Lorie Pisicchio]

Hello,
I am developping an application that is connecting to a distant server via 
SSL. 
I have a watchdog monitoring network connection.
When the phone looses the network connection while my application is 
running, I close the current socket and start a periodic task to try to 
reconnect.
Problem starts when network is back : my application creates a brand new SSL 
Socket, and start reading in it (socket.getInputStream().read()). Here, the 
read action returns immediatly with result  -1 (which I interpret as socket 
input stream being not valid).
The periodic task runs infinitly, create a new SSL Socket, start reading in 
it, and immediatly get -1 result...

The code for creating the socket : 
SSLSocketFactory socketFactory;
socketFactory = SSLSocketFactory.getSocketFactory();

socketFactory.setHostnameVerifier(SSLSocketFactory.STRICT_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
Socket socket;
try {
socket = socketFactory.createSocket();
HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
socket = socketFactory.connectSocket(socket, 
remoteIp.getHostName(), remotePort, null, 0, params);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable to create socket", e);
}


For information, if I connect to the server using standard connection (I 
mean, not SSL), everything is OK. 
Do you think it can be a bug in org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory?

Any help would be appreciated!
Best Regards,
Lorie.

Re: [android-developers] Is there any way to disable landscape mode for widget?

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Widgets run within the launcher.

The launcher's activity is not controlled by the application that provides
the widget, so setting screenOrientation is not an option (unless we're
talking about writing a launcher).

However, one can use regular resource qualifiers - res/layout-port  and/or
layout-land for widget layouts (and other qualifiers as appropriate), or
perhaps create dimension resources and put separate versions under
res/values and res/values-land (just one more way of doing it).

possible without SDK? If not, then is MonkeyRunner is enough for it?


Thanks

[android-developers] How to do native sound programming in android?

[XzPeter]

Hi, all,

I am wanting to write a native C app that record real time sound in
android and then send via network. I have searched the internet about
sound programming in android, but most of the articles are talking
about using the class MediaPlayer or MediaRecorder in Java. So, How in
C?

But after entering this in http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html
for getting MAP API it is showing invalid fingerprint.

Can you please guide me is the fingerprint I have got is correct or
not. Because I am getting it as SHA1 and not MD5. How can I get API

[android-developers] Testing questions - testing BluetoothAdapter and service startup

[BKM]

Hi,

I have been searching for several days for examples of test cases that
deal with Services, or that deal with BluetoothAdapter. We have an
Activity, which enables the BluetoothAdapter, and then calls a Service
which repeatedly detects nearby Bluetooth devices. There is very
little UI in this application - just a list of detected MAC
addresses.  We want to test this using the Android testing framework,
but all the examples out there are very UI-based. I am looking for
advice or examples of the following:
1. a test to see if the Activity successfully starts a Service
2. a way to create a mock objects for the Bluetooth Adapter and
BluetoothDevice, so I can feed predetermined values into my
ServiceTestCase methods.

Is any of this possible? How do other people test services and
components that are not UI based?

thanks,
Bonnie

[android-developers] Problema com gridview quando desliza a barra de rolagem

[Gerson Novais]

Hi, sorry for my Bad English.

I'll cut a long story. I have an activity with just a GridView and set
an adapter for it. This adapter inherits from BaseAdapter normally.

This adapter in the GetView method creates and returns ToogleButton,
which are placed side by side in the columns of the gridview, On Off
their texts are coming from an ArrayList .

Even so good, the ToogleButtons are usually positioned side by side,
but I have a number of ToogleButtons larger than the area, which
creates a scrollbar in gridview.

The problem is now when I select some ToogleButtons and do the
rollover of the gridview, the tooglebuttons that evaporate from the
screen up or down when they lose again selected. After several
attempts I found that even if it is going to gridview selected status
of a button switches to another that has not been selected and is
passing as if the selection was random.

My impression is that the position of the elements change.

My question is, how to work correctly with the GridView, so you can
change elements that are contained within, without her to change this
information?

I want to select when ToogleButtons necessary, scroll the gridview up
and down and tooglebuttons I selected previously will be selected.

I have looked everywhere.

Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: question about Snake game in sample code-- getting the snake tiles on to same coordinate plane as SnakeView

[CresCoJeff]

Yes, the 7,3 coordinates do refer to the snake's head tile bitmap (I
did not make it sensitive to touch events; 7,3 is merely the
coordinate set it starts off around)  and the 90,40 is from my touch
input on the view-- my question is how can I make the bitmaps that
compose the snake's head and body 'aware' of what coordinates on the
view's coordinate plane they overlap?  Also, and you probably will
need access to the sample code to answer this, how exactly do the
snake's update/draw functions work when it is essentially on its own
coordinate plane?  I would expect them to map to the view's coordinate
plane somewhere before rendering, but perhaps they don't need to and
the Android renderer can work with only relative coordinates?

Re: [android-developers] Good phone for development - and getNeighboringCellInfo()

[André Coelho]

I have done something similar to what you want. I developed an application
that we needed for a study.
It collects GSM and WiFI data, stores it in a file that I later process with
a perl script. The script sends GSM and WiFi data to Google's geolocation
api and retrieves location coordinates (like those in GPS).
We needed a way to annotate events with location data without the user
incurring any costs. Location information is critical to our work but
doesn't really need to be calculated immediately.
We wrote a paper on it with results of how accurate this method was, turned
out to be pretty good.
WiFi info gets you a better location then GSM (more precise) and sending
both WiFi and gsm doesn't do any better than just WiFi.
Also, there is a caveat if you don't operate the phone strictly in 2G mode
the method that retrieves neighbouring cell info returns -1 for all data.
You can only get information from the cell you are connected to when in 3G.
It's a limitation of the API.

[android-developers] Re: Detecting Button Clicks

That would work if the buttons and the game logic were in the same

buttons set up in there, and then I have a Game class with the game
logic. The game logic method looks a little like this:

public void runGame() {
while(!gameOver) {
if(/*button clicked*/) {
if(detectWin(turn ? 
PLAYER1_SYMBOL:PLAYER2_SYMBOL)) {
gameOver = true;
if(turn)
winMessage.setMessage("Player 1 
won!");
else
winMessage.setMessage("Player 2 
won!");
continue;
}
else
turn = !turn;
}
}

winMessage.show();

[android-developers] Activity gets Terminated using AssetManager list() on 2.1 - 2.2

[Ender]

Hello

I am creating an app that gets 600 HTML files from the assets file
when I try to get a the list of files using the AssetManager list()
the the application terminates. When I debug and I try to step threw
it The application just stops I don't get no errors in the LogCat. I
also noticed that when I remove some files in the assets the
application works fine.

This only happens on android 2.1 and android 2.2 but when I run it on
2.3 it works fine

here is part of my code
AssetManager assets = getApplicationContext().getAssets();
String[] list;
try {
 list = assets.list("cantos");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.d("IO",e.getMessage());
}


Could I be overflowing the heap? I really don't know what is going on

[android-developers] displaying ImageView coordinates

[GeorgePZ]

I'm a newbie so sorry if the question is dumb! I have created a
Gallery, a baseAdapter and the Gallery is working fine. However I need
to find the coordinates ( in terms of the Gallery view )of each image
inside the Gallery when the user clicks on this image. Also most
importantly, I need to find out the coordinates of each ImageView in
terms of the whole screen, meaning the general coordinates

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

final Gallery g1 = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.gallery1);   //
creating gallery object 1
g1.setAdapter(  new ImageAdapter(this)  );
g1.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

g1.setOnItemClickListener(
new OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, 
View v, int
position, long id)
{
/* here we get the coordinates of View 
'v' */
int xCord = v.getRight();
int yCord = v.getBottom();

Toast.makeText(ImageGallery.this, 
"index: " + position +
" x coord: "+ xCord + " y coord: " + yCord,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


} // end of method 'onItemClick'
} // end of internal anonymous class 
'OnItemClickListener'
); // end of 'setOnItemClickListener' call

}

/** 'ImageAdapter' class */
public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
   ..
   ..

// an array of IDs that reference the images saved in the
drawable resources directory (res/drawable/)
private Integer[] mImageIds =
{
//each image's size is 320x60
R.drawable.sample1,
R.drawable.sample2,
R.drawable.sample3,
R.drawable.sample4,
R.drawable.sample5,
R.drawable.sample6,
R.drawable.sample7
};

...
...

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// create a new object of type 'ImageView' using context
object called 'imageView1'
ImageView imageView1 = new ImageView(mContext);
// here we set the image by given its source from array
'mImageIds'
imageView1.setImageResource( mImageIds[position] );
// setting the Gallery.LayoutParams height and width for

imageView1.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams( 300,

Re: [android-developers] Good phone for development - and getNeighboringCellInfo()

[André Coelho]

I have done something similar to what you are trying to do. We ran a study a
while back where we compared the accuracy and precision of a time-shifted
location process vs an on-demand one. We wrote an article with our results.
We collected GSM and WiFi data on several locations and we also collected
the Android's Network Provider location coordinates. The GSM and WiFi data
we collected was processed by a perl script that sends the infor to Google's
geolocation API and parses the response with the result (which is location
coordinates).
We found that our method was pretty good compared to the location the device
serves up on-site. Our purpose was to develop a way to annotate events with
location data without the users of our apps incurring in any costs.
There is a caveat you should know about, it's a limitation of the API. If
you are operating your phone in 3G mode you can only get information for the
cell you are connected to, all information from neighbouring cells will show
up with the value -1. However, if you change the radio to operate strictly
in 2G mode, then all neighbouring cell information shows up just fine when
you call the method from the API.
Additionally, from our results, I can tell you that using just GSM data
doesn't provide you with very precise location data. Either use GSM+WiFi or
just WiFi which have nearly identical results. Anyway, it obviously depends
on how precise you want your location data to be.

André Coelho

[android-developers] Re: Animation

[Fernando R]

There is an other way to do animation.. expanding the class
ImageView... it's like adding the actual image and just on the ondraw
event call the invalidate() function which allows you to show the next
image of you animation... you would probably have to manage the time
that you have to wait before showing the next image..

[android-developers] Re: Android 3.1 is too slow

[Glenn Maynard]

Saying "use a real device" isn't very helpful or realistic.  Android
apps need to be tested in many screen configurations and in every
supported SDK level.  If the cost of entry to Android development is
thousands of dollars of test devices, that's just too high.

Re: [android-developers] Slow motion video

[New Developer]

MediaPlayer had getFrameAt  which has been  depreciated

I was hoping to use this to create my own play function
Where I could throw in a sleep or delay
So as to control the time between frames being shown and thus create a slow 
motion play back.

Do anyone have any ideas on the replacement to getFrameAt ?

Or another means to create a slow motion play back of video ?

thanks in advance

Re: [android-developers] Will Android ever natively support Arabic language?

[dan raaka]

@Mark Murphy
NexusS is pure vanilla AOSP software. So, it should reflect whatever you
find in a emulator (SDK image). So, it was not a Samsung decision. There are
some discussions on the contrib email list of the RTL support in general ...

You missed one: it would also require someone - anyone - on the Market Team
giving a damn about developers. This person does not exist. So while they
easily *can* send a simple warning, no one cares enough to.

Doesn't show in terms of running adb devices/viewing it in DDMS, or in
terms of a mounted volume?

If you mean the latter, Android 3.x uses MTP, not USB mass storage,
and I think you need an MTP client for OS X.

I've been hearing that Mac support for the Galaxy Tab from Google I/O is
very poor.  I've been planning to buy one next week to use as my primary

Re: [android-developers] Android Proguard - how to keep onClick handlers only referenced from XML layouts

[Marcin Orlowski]

If I remember correctly, android uses reflection while accessing onClick
handles specified in layout file instead of set via code, so if I am now
wrong, you will pay for that with performance loss (yes, it's most likely
insignificiant for the whole app, but still). I also think that if you want
to use proguard to make your app harder to rev-eng, you shall consider
dropping android:onClick in faviour of setting handlers in code instead of
exluding them from proguard

[android-developers] Re: One of my apps no longer appears in searches, or under "my apps" public page?

[Mike Wolfson]

Well how could Google possibly send out an email.

That would mean:
-they would have to have the email of every dev publishing to the
market
-have access to a email service capable of sending emails to this
group

My point being, they certainly have access to these 2 things, and
could easily do this.

I would also accept a banner message on the console announcing outages
and upgrades.

Finally, would it be so hard to actually perform the updates "off-
hours"?  Maybe on a Sunday?  I know this is an international service,
which limits the times for maintenance windows, but I imagine there is
a better time than during the day on Friday.

Developing software professionally for 15 years, I have never released
an update during business hours, without notifying my customer (not a
single time).  I guess the GOOG plays by different rules then us
"mortals"

If you store your database in the default directory, that will be in
your application's private internal directory. If you create the
database the default way, other applications will not be able to
access it, unless they are run as superuser on a rooted device.

No. You are welcome to encrypt your data by one means or another, so
long as the user supplies the password.
