[android-developers] Galaxy Tab and Market filtering

[nadam]

The old Galaxy Tab 7" is said to be a large mdpi device but it uses
hdpi drawables. I did an experiment to create an app with the
following restrictions in the manifest.











The Device Availability dialog in the Developer Console tells me that
this app will not be available in Android Market for any Samsung
device. In particular, all variations of Galaxy Tab are listed as
unsupported. Why?

[android-developers] Re: Aidl Error : couldn't find import for class org.json.JSONObject

[rashmi]

Hi Mark,
I am working on froyo2.2 source code. My aim is to include the 'import 
org.json.JSONObject' statement in aidl file. It is giving the build error - 
'couldn't find import for class org.json.JSONObject'.

I also tried creating a project in Eclipse and including an aidl file with 
import org.json.JSONObject. Even this project is also giving the same error. 
Please give me solution for how to include json import in aidl.

Thanks,

It may be that you set your colors to be the same as the cursor and now it
is invisible on the EditText?

Re: [android-developers] Measure View before rendering

[Romain Guy]

You need to use MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(). You can't just pass EXACTLY,
you need to pass makeMeasureSpec(EXACTLY, 200) for instance.

[android-developers] Measure View before rendering

[Isliguezze]

Hello folks!

I have a pretty simple question with probably not that simple answer:
how do I measure a newly created view before it's been rendered.

For example

TextView tv = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.textview, null);

tv.getHeight() returns zero after measure() with EXACTLY, and AT_MOST,
layout(), buildDrawingCache(), etc

I need to get height of the view to show a PopupWindow at some
location.

Thank you.

You can use PackageManager to disable the component, sometime after
which it will no longer appear in home screen launchers. Bear in mind
that some home screens cache information about launchable activities,
and so it may not vanish immediately on all devices. Also, if the user
set up a shortcut to the activity, that shortcut will remain and just
fail to work, IIRC.

They elected to implement it as a ViewGroup. Usually ViewGroups are
designed to be put in layouts, but there is no guarantee of that.

Re: [android-developers] Holding down Touch Screen

[Mark Murphy]

You will need to pay attention to the MotionEvents yourself, watching
for ACTION_POINTER_DOWN and ACTION_POINTER_UP on the same pointer. So
long as you have seen a DOWN and not the corresponding UP, the finger
has not left the screen. You may or may not care about ACTION_MOVE or
other events related to this finger.

And with that, you have pretty much exhausted my knowledge of
MotionEvents, so if you have follow-up questions, I'm hoping somebody
else can help... :-)

[android-developers] Re: How can Button clicks be sent to a View that has been disabled?

[William Ferguson]

Has no one seen an incidence of this occurring?
I would have said flat out it can't occur except that I see a couple
of instances each day.

Does this mean that all handler code needs to explicitly check to see
if a button is enabled first before executing its action?

So I am working on my first android game and I am going along with
assistance from Beginning Android Games by Mario Zechner. Its a good

I am not aware that MediaController can be used that way, though you

[android-developers] List in appwidget going blank suddenly

[Padma]

Hi,

I have created an appwidget with a listview on Honeycomb 3.1. I am
using the RemoteViewsService and RemoteViewsFactory. However sometimes
I see that the listview suddenly becomes empty. The logs dont have
anything specific to my application. However I see the following in
the logs:

E/RemoteViewsAdapter(  873): Error in updateMetaData: null

Did anyone see a similar issue previously? If so, could you please
suggest a solution to this.

Regards,
Padma.

The second article claims that seeking reexamination of the Lodsys
patents costs no money.

If so, how is it actually done? Do I just email the right guy at the
patent office? And how do I know if it has been done?

I would be reaaallly surprised if OSGi would work on an Android

Also, it would be a huge security risk if code could be automatically

> cave in, go ahead.  But you're further perpetuating the situation.

Based on what I read in one of the articles from the links posted earlier
(I think it was groklaw.com, or something like that), caving in is
exactly what lodsys is counting on people to do.  They see these
frivolous lawsuits as a business.  The more people fight back, the
more it hurts their so-called "business".  That's one thing the articles
were very clear on---this is their business...buying vaguely-defined
patents and suing anyone who uses any portion of the descriptions in
those patents for small amounts, and hoping that people will just pay,
rather than go through the hassle of fighting back.

Btw, this is paraphrasing from either the first of the four links
posted earlier, or from the "Read More" (or something like that) link
within that article (or both).

If I were to get the letter, for my app that has NO billing of any kind
(or my next app, which will use the regular Market billing as a simple
paid app), I'd contact the CLRC (Cancer Legal Resource Center), get a
lawyer here in town who'd take the case for free (pro bono, I think is
the term) unless we win, and I'd sue them right back for trying to pull
me into a frivolous law suit.  That, or I'd get the lawyer to file for
reexamination of the patent, whichever the LAWYER said was the way to go.
No way would I even consider paying them.

And as everyone else has been clear to point out, I am not a lawyer,
nor do my comments here represent legal opinion.  However, as my
oncologists and the neurosurgeon who did my brain surgeries and, despite
my being right there, fully awake the same day[1], swore over and over
that my being awake that soon was absolutely impossible, that after a set
of surgeries as severe as mine, it was an absolute given that I'd be in a
coma for AT LEAST a month, will all verify, I am a stubborn SOB who will
NOT accept being attacked without fighting back twice as hard as my
attacker.  My former cancer, if it still existed, would also "agree" (you
know what I mean).  When I was diagnosed (26Jan2006), my soon-to-be
oncologist gave me a 50% chance of getting out of the hospital alive.  I
less-than-politely told him what he could do with his 50%.  He was glad
to hear me say that, and immediately raised it to 80%, and the next day,
to 100%.  IMHO, that's how we should all, collectively or individually,
fight back here, too.  But that is just my opinion.  Take it or leave it.

[android-developers] Android and OSGi/Apache Felix

[Jesse]

My company is working on an app that will be distributed outside of the 
Android Market. We plan to preinstall our app on devices and then loan the 
devices out to customers. We really want the ability to update our app 
completely automatically, without the customer having to do anything. I can 
see two options:

1) Use a custom ROM and give our app root permissions
2) Use OSGi

Does anyone have experience using OSGi in an Android app? All of the 
discussions I've found are several years old. My main worries center around 
possible conflicts between the Android lifecycle and OSGi lifecycle. For 
example, would there be issues unloading a bundle that contained a layout 
and replacing it with a different layout? What happens if that layout is 
currently being used by an activity? I can see similar issues arising around 
Strings. Android is designed to update an application's components on app 
version changes; I just don't know if it's wise to use something like OSGi 
to bypass this process. I can see all sorts of potential for conflicts and 
memory leaks.

What I'd really like to know is if anyone has successfully used OSGi to 
update Android specific things, like layout files and strings.

Thanks for any help,
Jesse

I have been trying to get a better understanding of how this works. Will 
every thread have it's own iocl/binder with the kernel or will there still 
be a main binder thread dispatching call to the processing threads?

Ditto to this.  Also, Dictionary.com has an API that they provide to
developers.  It's free use is limited, but might fulfill your needs.

[android-developers] Re: Question about the values of the Audio Buffer

[niko20]

No, they should be real RAW 16bit PCM values. If you aren't getting
values that make sense at just 16 bit shorts, then you have something
else wrong in your code. Make sure you are not casting weird or
anything like that.

You're 14?

I take back anything I ever said bad about you... :-)

The books that CommonsWare publishes are not available in physical
bookstores. You could pick up one of the _Beginning Android_ series
from Apress, which are editions of _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android
Development_ under a different title.

But, for that, you may as well grab the free older editions off of my
Web site -- they're about the same age as the print one and have the
added advantage of being free.

Just visit http://commonsware.com, click on any of the books, and tap
on the "Four-to-Free Guarantee" tab mid-way down the page. There are
several free editions of each of my books; just grab the highest
version # one.

In fact, I have another batch of those that I need to process and
upload later today.

BTW, don't forget to sleep!

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null

[Raghav Sood]

I think I'll go with Status Bar notification. I might add a form later
asking them whether or not they have a SIM card and ship it as a custom
variable with ACRA. (Only reason I can think of for the null value is a
missing SIM card as I use the cell network for location.)

And before someone tells me that ACRA supports user dialogues. I tried
getting them to work but it didn't show up.

You can use a status bar notification, or implement some sort of 
callback (listener) that takes you back to the activity, where you can 
e.g. display a dialog:


myObject.setErrorListener(new ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void somethingBadHappened( ) {
// display a dialog, a toast, or call activity.finish() :)
}
};

I should probably change it.

Seeing as this book has given me more errors than knowledge I think I'd get
another one. Maybe one of Mark's.

@Mark: Where can I get your book in New Delhi, India? I can't find it at any

Well your overlay has access to the MapView on which it is drawing, which in
turn has a Context, which is all you really need for Toast.makeText().

I like this book less and less.

MyLocationOverlay is just another Overlay that handles the drawing of a dot,
radius, and getting location updates. If you need custom drawing, then you
can just override the draw() function, call super() to draw the default
location and radius, and then continue doing your own drawing for the text
and graphics.

Meanwhile you get the location update logic for free.

Well, sure, with a valid reference to the Activity. But injecting a

seem like a great idea.

I needed a custom graphic and text on the location point and the book I used
said it was not possible with MyLocationOverlay. Also later on I plan on
adding a few more things that would not work with MyLocationOverlay.

Thanks

P.S. If I have a method in my Activity to display a toast can I safely call

What I do for the user's location on the map is get their location first,
then, when a valid location is obtained, create the marker and add it to the
map.

Precisely - only there does it receive location - otherwise it remains null
(the default for an object) and you don't check for null in your draw()
call. Thus, unless you set a valid Location object in your main activity,
your internal location will remain null and you will crash and burn as you
have already seen when your position overlay goes to draw.

Okay. Maybe I am missing something here but AFAIK the if statement check to

it passes it on to the Overlay.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Installing APK + DB

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Hector,

What I was hinting at (sorry if I was being too oblique) is that:

1 - There is a bug in your code when the activity gets recreated for 
configuration changes;
2 - The most frequent case of a configuration change is the screen 
orientation change;
3 - There are other cases configuration change cases, and I provided the 
steps for one of them;
4 - Rather than putting lipstick over the bug with your manifest change, 
treat it as an opportunity to easily find and fix the bug;
5 - Once that's done, and your code survives an orientation change, add 
back the manifest changes as an optimization, if needed.

As I indicated in your previous thread, if you try to use the overlay
and YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LOCATION YET (caps to ensure you pay
attention), your location variable will be null simply because you
haven't ever had any valid Location to use.

So, as I wrote before, you either need to not set up the overlay until
you actually have a Location, or you need to have more smarts in the
overlay to deal with the null location case.

Re: [android-developers] Re: NullPointerException when checking for orientation

[Kostya Vasilyev]

A complex expression like this can cause a bit of confusion with line 
numbers.


You can watch it in the debugger, while single-stepping, the current 
line can jump down and up. I suppose it's the same with getting the 
stack trace.


To pinpoint what's going on, rewrite this section of code to use local 
temporary objects, something along these lines:


if((ViewByRoom.controls&  CAN_DISPLAY_QUEUE) == CAN_DISPLAY_QUEUE) {
{
Activity activity = getActivity();
View view = activity.findViewById(R.id.queueframe);
if (view == null) {
// old code here
}
}

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null

[Raghav Sood]

But the thing is location can't be null. If it was the app wouldn't have
reached here. I check for location being null in my main activity:

if (location != null) {

 // Update my location marker

positionOverlay.setLocation(location);


Only the does MyPositionOverlay receive location.

NullPointerExceptions are cause by *objects* that are set to null. The only
*object* in that statement is "location". Thus, that's what is null.

You can verify this by using your debugger and breaking at that line.

I'd recommend you brush up on Java and the different between Object types
and Value types to understand the differences between the two.

[android-developers] Question about the values of the Audio Buffer

[jdarladimas]

Hello Developers,

In an application that I am developing, I am using the AudioRecord
class to detect sounds from the microphone.
The minimum Buffer Size that I am allowed to use is 4096.

So, I get the values from the microphone buffer and put them in a
short[] array that has the same size as the microphone buffer.
The range of those values are from -2^15=-32768 up to 2^15,
which makes sense since I am using PCM_16_ENCODING and the size of a
short element is 16 bits.

When I test the app, I notice that it is quiet, the buffer values tend
to 0.
On the other hand, when there is noise, both the positive and the
negative buffer values tend to their maximum( 32768 and -32768
respectively).
My question is what those buffer values represent...
Are they quantization levels or something else?? Can anybody help me?
It is really important..

Thank you in advance

That's not possible. Double-check your logs and what variable they point to.
The Location object may be null, but it's double type variables cannot.

I am trying to guard against them being null. I am getting error reports

safeguard.

As the error indicates, they are not object that are comparable to null.
They are guaranteed to have *some* value. What are you trying to guard

[android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null

[Raghav Sood]

Hi all,

In my app I have to compare getLatitude() and getLongitude() with null in an
if statement to check, well, if they are null.

My statement looks like this:

 if (location.getLatitude() != null || location.getLongitude() != null)

location is a Location variable. I am getting an error that I can not
compare these values as they are Doubles in nature and null is not valid
here with ||. How can I compare these?

Thanks

So, I have to find somebody to find a nice, legal way to say 'suck my
balls, your patent doesn't apply to my app?'  Ok.
Sorry, but I'm not going to let these suit retards try to get any
money from me.
Then again, I live in a shitty apartment and the most expensive thing
I own is my do, I ride my bike to places, and I buy everything with
cash.
I don't give two shits if they want to try and sue me.  Good luck
trying to find me physically.  I'll just re-register my app from my
home country of El Salvador.
I've done this with medical and towing bills and it costs them a lot
more to try to get the money from you constantly then any profit they
hoped to gain.  Eventually they gave up.
I guess if you want to be a wuss and cave in, go ahead.  But you're
further perpetuating the situation.

[android-developers] NullPointerException when checking for orientation

[Kim]

I am using the recommended method to check orientation when using
frames in 3.0 or higher:

if(((ViewByRoom.controls & CAN_DISPLAY_QUEUE) == CAN_DISPLAY_QUEUE)
&& getActivity()
.findViewById(R.id.queueframe)==null) {

but sometimes I get a nullpointer exception on the line with
".findViewById(R.id.queueframe) = null" in it.
I put it in a separate line from the getActivity() to make sure the
exception was referring to that line.

This code is in one fragment and is checking to see if the other
fragment exists (is in portrait mode).
Shouldn't that line just return false (causing the if statement to
fail)? it does work most of the time, only occasionally giving the
exception when I change orientation.

Just remember, never respond to any legal letter with anything less than

Not heading this advice will just feed the sender with things they can put

I'd be worried about a drawing function that takes several seconds to
run.  We like to keep drawing well under 16ms in order to ensure a
good framerate and smooth animations.

Re: [android-developers] EventQueue.peekMessage

[andrei-dmitriev]

The longRoutine is the drawing procedure which may take up to several 
seconds.


Yep, I tried to relay that onto another thread and draw into the 
SurfaceView but the problem I've faced is that
the original view(s) are still repainted with onDraw() thus the content 
(the background thread is rendering all the time) is missing. It's 
called from the deep android internals so I don't believe I trigger it 
somehow - it's

just a reaction on the invalidate().
Well, it is covered with blank rectangle but I can see the actual 
content under that rectangle.
BTW that looks like a thread condition over there as sometimes (very 
rarely) I can see the content for a few moments which then becomes 
covered with background color.


So far I also tried to:
a) setWillNotDraw(true);
b) unset the background color of the view

Interestingly that in a sample application (a SurfaceView in a 
RelativeView) the b) approach does help and since that we don't have 
such a problem there.


So the problem now could be read like this (I'm starting to think there 
is no way to peek events from the queue, right? :) :

How to switch the SurfaceView's onDraw() method off?
Any cluea of what can make it been called also appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrei

I want it to implement the break for the routine running on the UI thread.
private void longRoutine() {
while (flag){
if (queue.peekMessage() != null) {
return;
}

}
}

Or am I missing something and actually a way exists?

It's called a "background thread". All the cool programmers use them.

Why do you think that you need longRoutine() to be on the main
application thread?

Re: [android-developers] rounded corner // Shape Drawable (via xml) vs. PNG

A ShapeDrawable is neither better nor worse than a nine-patch PNG, any
more than a hammer is better or worse than a wrench. They are two
tools that can be used in the same places sometimes.

ShapeDrawable is great for simple shapes when the developer is not a
Photoshop expert. ShapeDrawable is excellent for resizeable simple
shapes with gradient fills, for which a nine-patch PNG is unsuitable.

A nine-patch PNG has far richer possibilities, as you are not limited
to the handful of elements and attributes of the ShapeDrawable XML
syntax.

Use whichever you like.

[android-developers] rounded corner // Shape Drawable (via xml) vs. PNG

[Ralph Bergmann]

Hi,


On stackoverflow I found a question about creating a rounded corner graphic.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683185/android-listview-with-rounded-corners

The solution was to create a shape drawable via xml file.

My question: Why he/she recommends a shape drawable xml file and not a
png file (9-patch)? Why is a shape drawable better?

I'm curious too, where are you getting the 6% figure?

BTW: We have no way of knowing that "Google has the same license Apple has." 
All we know is that Google and Apple each obtained *a* license from 
Intellectual Ventures. It may be a reasonable assumption that the licenses 
have similar terms, but it's by no means definite. Those of us posting on 
this forum don't really know anything about the details of *either* license.

Can't say much without seeing the code of your StartActivity.
Do you link to a library (JAR)? Maybe this JAR refers to the 
ProtectionDomain class of another java-implementation that's not quite
