Re: [android-developers] AndEngine - what is Mercurial?
Mercurial is a version control system., sort of like Git and Subversion. You only need the plugin to pull the code from the site. Actually you can install Mercurial, pull the code and put it in your project without the plugin but the plugin pulls it directly into eclipse. AFAIK there are no books covering andengine.

[android-developers] Re: Map point reload
Hi, For the GPS issue, to prevent it from starting stopping on orientation change in your Activity, you can implement LocationManager in a Service then pass the Location objects back to the Activity. It is a fairly convoluted affair to setup but it does work. A simpler option - you might? also be able to maintain a reference to the Location Manager object (or some other class that acts as a container encapsulates the LocationManager) through onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() which is specifically provided for handling orientation other changes for the Activity. I've done the former but no the latter.

Re: [android-developers] Memory allocation
Prior to 3.0, all bitmaps are allocated in a separate heap, called the native heap. You should be able to keep track of how much your application allocates / frees there in your image loading code. There are also methods to get the native heap stats with Debug class: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Debug.html#getNativeHeapFreeSize() It helps to call recycle() on those images your application no longer needs (perhaps by keeping your own MRU list). -- Kostya 23.07.2011 15:06, Simon Platten пишет: Is there a method or object I can override that will root all the memory allocation performed by my application through to something I can control...this would include any views and objects I reference.

[android-developers] glReadPixels()
Hi,
I'm trying to detect the opengl object under the cursor... I have read
it referred to as picking. Here is my code:
public int makeBuffer(GL10 gl, int x, int y) {
ByteBuffer PixelBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(4);
PixelBuffer.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
PixelBuffer.position(0);
int mTemp = 0;
gl.glReadPixels((int)x, (int) y, 1, 1, GL10.GL_RGBA,
GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, PixelBuffer);
Log.e(Picking, xy: x + x + y+ y);
byte b [] = new byte[4];
PixelBuffer.get(b);
Log.e(Picking, rgba: r+ PixelBuffer.get(0) + g +
PixelBuffer.get(1) + b +
PixelBuffer.get(2) + a + PixelBuffer.get(3));
Log.e(Picking, rgba: r+ b[0] + g + b[1] + b +
b[2] + a + b[3]);
//mTemp = PixelBuffer.get(0);
mTemp = b[0];
Log.e(Picking, result: + mTemp );
return mTemp;
}
See that most of the code above is logcat statements. My code prints
zeros to the screen for r,g, and b. For alpha it prints '-1' which is
translatable to 255 (unsigned) as 'full alpha'. I'm trying to detect a
color on the screen at the given x/y position. I would be happy with a
red value that's somewhere between 1 and 15, as that's the color that
should be below the touch. I would expect that if I was doing it
entirely wrong I would get all zeroes, but I must be doing it at least
partially right, as I'm getting alpha. I have also included lines in
my manifest that tell the phone that I use the permissions for the
'surface flinger' and the 'read frame buffer'. I don't know if these
lines are working.
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER /
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.READ_FRAME_BUFFER /
any help would be appreciated.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Request to Google's Android SDK team
All your suggestions are valid and I've already used some of them. E.g. I've finished with the 2.2 testing. I want to now test with as many other devices as possible (without having to mortgage my home). The issue isn't whether there are work-arounds, we're all engineers, our jobs are to find solutions to hard problems. The issue is CONVENIENCE and EFFICIENCY. If you do not agree a VirtualBox solution is a more convenient and efficient solution, then I don't think there's anything I can say to convince you otherwise. Google is already working on a Honeycomb emulator. I'm not asking them to stop. I'm just asking for an intermediate solution while they improve on their final product. If my users were inconvenienced, I would try to give them a temporary solution to hold them over until I have a good solution. But that's just me. It's a difference in engineering philosophy. Are you speaking for Google? Is this Google's final word on the matter? If Google isn't even going to consider this issue, there's no point in continuing this discussion. --jc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If it would work, it might be. However, I doubt that it will work, since it does not solve the graphics acceleration problem. The mere fact that VirtualBox might expose hardware graphics acceleration capabilities does not mean that Honeycomb will be able to exploit them without significant work. I would expect that performance of a Honeycomb VirtualBox to perhaps be incrementally better than a Honeycomb qemu. Or, to put it another way, I would expect the ratio of pain between 2.3 and 3.0 to be roughly the same on qemu and VirtualBox. Furthermore, I recall suggesting this very solution to Xav at Google I|O and being told that it did not help. There is also the minor issue that VirtualBox is owned by Oracle. :-) Personally, I wish that the Honeycomb source code had been released, specifically so that the community could work on this sort of thing and see if we can come up with something.

[android-developers] Adsense ad causing noticeable lag/framerate issues every time it animates within my game?
Hi, I'm in the process of developing a game with an AdView located at the top of the screen. The game and ad work beautifully when the advertisement is pulled from AdMob (I believe because it's just a static unchanging image), but when the ad is pulled from AdSense there is noticeable amount of lag or framerate issues everytime the ad animates the scrolling text. These issues appear to make the game jumpy as the objects in my game(missiles) speed forward much faster than they should for the duration of the ad animation time. I'm fairly new to android and game development in general, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong as I have played plenty of android games which do not get this type of lag with adsense ads. Perhaps someone with a bit of game experience can lay out the proper way to add an AdView component to a game. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I finally settled on libGDX. Nice feature: develop in Eclipse, run in Eclipse as a Java application (no painfully slow, as in no response after six or more hours, emulator to deal with, no hassles having to build an apk file, hook up my droid via USB and thus dragging my laptop down to a crawl, install, run from the phone, etc...). Then, build as an Android app and test, etc., as usual. And now, I have a lot to learn before I really get started on a project. Maybe this one will do more than sit there. My brewer's grain database app has taken me by surprise: I ONLY listed data for 20 generic malts/adjuncts, where the real app has 297, and the free app only points to the paid app for the rest of those. People are installing and keeping the free app, and nobody has touched the paid app. Amazing.

[android-developers] Curious NPE
I am getting some bugreports of NPE's which I cannot explain.
These happen rarely. Here's the must baffling (in simplified code):
class MyActivity extends Activity
{
Object myObject;
protected void onCreate(Bundle state)
{
myObject = new Object();
}
public void onBackPressed()
{
myObject.myMethod();
}
}
Then the user gets a NPE on myObject when it tries to call myMethod in
obBackPressed()
There are no other myObject assignemnet in my code -- once it's
inialized, it's never touched. So the only way I can see that NPE
happenining is if onBackPressed() is called before onCreate().
I've had some other reports where the NPE happened after a screen
rotate, but it involved a member variable, which should have been also
initalized in onCreate().
Since these reports are rare with only 1 report per error, I suspect a
race conditiion.
Would love to hear people's ideas. (And please don't tell me to chech
myObject != null before accessing)

[android-developers] Re: glib linker errors on gingerbread
As with any other issue, if one issue gets resolved another issue takes over precedence and older issue is no more a problem. When there is no problem, these posts remain dangling. Anyway let me close at least one, this one. Initially the problem appeared very strange. And it is misleading due to glib/glib/galiasdef.c as mentioned by Arun. But a deep look reveals that the glib integrated to Android is not the complete one. Which ever parts are required, only those parts are integrated. After adding the gqueue.c file to Android, this error got resolved. Hope this will be helpful. /Sammoh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
