Re: [android-developers] Problems with new ADT (14) library building

[Marco Alexander Schmitz]

Hi, I had the same problem with a library project. In fact I got a dalvic
error 1 so that the toolchain couldnt work so that no R.java was created...

My solution was to add thos line to the .classpath of the library project:



Hope this helps.

First, this is a list for development with the Android SDK.
MediaPlayer is a class in the Android SDK. Referring to other things
as "media player" will just confuse those trying to help you.

Second, there is no single "inbuilt media player", to use your
terminology. There are hundreds of Android devices. There will be many
"inbuilt media player" applications as a result.

You are welcome to try isMusicActive() on AudioManager, as was
suggested previously, though I have no idea if that really works.

Beyond that, AFAIK, the expectation is that your applications should
be using the audio-focus capabilities of AudioManager to interact
smoothly with other apps that may be playing audio.

[android-developers] Re: onCallStateChanged(int state, String number)

[Sunil Mishra]

Hi, i think for idle it will not give any phone number, just imagine
how can u get phone no on a idle phone?

For the off-hook mode you can catch the phone number into a variable
when phone call state changes to  phone ringing and then try working
with the phone no.

But doing so, will it create a new media player instance or it will be

I want to check whether inbuilt media player is active and playing
media or not. Any sample code for that?

[android-developers] How to set orientation programmatically without disabling activity transitions

[Stefan Alder]

We need to set the orientation of our app to reverse landscape.
Unfortunately, this is only supported in api 9+, so as suggested by a
Google engineer below, we need to set the orientation programmatically
based on android.os.Build.

1) We've tried doing this in onCreate, but it prevents the activity
transitions from showing.Is there a way to set the orientation
programmatically so that the transitions are still shown?

2) Is there someway of having a conditional in the manifest, such that
screenOrientation defaults to 'reverseLandscape' if supported,
otherwise 'landscape'?

3). It seems reverse landscape can be reached if screenOrientation is
set to 'unsepcified' (even less than api level 9), but then portrait
orientations are allowed as well.  Is there someway to prevent the
portrait orientations (in < api level 9 too)?

Thanks

Dianne,
You mentioned checking the android.os.BUILD and setting the
orientation to reverse landscape only if it meet or exceeds api level
9.  I assume I would do this in onCreate.  If I do do this, there are
no animations to a new Activity (the slide in), only animations when
ending the new activity.   How can I correct this?

FYI, I'm testing on a Nexus One with 2.3.6
Thanks

[android-developers] Problems with new ADT (14) library building

[Jeremy Statz]

I have a large set of support classes contained in a library that's
shared between about 40 projects, and since updating to the newest ADT
(14) I'm having major problems with any classes involving UI.

In particular these do things like create a color picker when you tap
on a preference item, or display a dialog with a slider, etc.  The
code hasn't changed and continues to compile without errors, but when
I actually run it it seems like none of the UI identifiers are valid.
I'll get a crash due to a null pointer.

I'm hoping and praying the new .jar file approach hasn't ruined this
feature, because I have a ton of library work related to this sort of
thing that's avoiding a massive amount of code duplication.  :(

As an example:

LinearLayout layout =
(LinearLayout)inflator.inflate( R.layout.preferencecolor_layout,
null );

TextView main = (TextView)layout.findViewById( R.id.label_main );
main.setText( getTitle() ); // crash here due to main being invalid

Re: [android-developers] SMS is auto-replied in a loop.

[Isaac Wesley]

If I have got your question right, for your app to app method. You can store
the first time value or I'd as a shared prefrences. In your second device.
So if your second device gets a new or different I'd. You can stop the
receive in device 2. (P.S you can set an auto incremental is for this)

[android-developers] Android 3.2 and the emulator

[Zsolt Vasvari]

How can I "reserve" the bottom button bar's space using the emulator?

In other words, on 3.2+ (or 3.1?), a 1280x800 screen is reported as
having display metrics of 1280x752 or 1232x800 depending on the
orienation, but I don't seem to be able to do this with the emulator,
or at least I cannot find an option for the height of the button bar.

Re: [android-developers] Selecting picasa photos in gallery

[Mark Andrachek, Jr.]

I'm running into something very similar trying to get thumbnails.
I use this to get select the image from the gallery:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra("return-data", true);
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Complete action 
using"),PICK_FROM_GALLERY);

Then in the result:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK)
  return;

   Uri contentUri = Uri.parse(data.getDataString());
   List parts = contentUri.getPathSegments();
   long id = Long.parseLong(parts.get(parts.size() - 1));
   Bitmap bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(
  getActivity().getContentResolver(), 
  id, 
  MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND, 
  null
   );

}

If I log data.getDataString(), I get: 
content://com.android.gallery3d.provider/picasa/item/SOMEBIGNUMBER

And I get an exception thrown:
E/MiniThumbFile(26253): Got exception when reading magic, id = 
SOMEBIGNUMBER, disk full or mount read-only? class 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Local images work fine, and have a different url:
content://media/external/images/media/115

I'm guessing SOMEBIGNUMBER is the PICASA_ID. How to get the thumbnail and/or 
image out of that, without falling back to accessing the picasa api's and 
having to have access to user account info... I wish I knew.

[android-developers] Re: How to make an alphabetic scroll bar like that in contacts

[Zsolt Vasvari]

Just be careful with AlphabetIndexer.  It's probably OK for "toy"
apps, or at least those that are not localized, but if localization
issues come into play, it becomes much more complicated.  Look at
ContactsProvider.  There is even an Android specific SQLite extension
called GET_PHONEBOOK_INDEX which takes care of this.

[android-developers] Re: Impossible to Create & Write to or Read From Files in the SD Card

[gjs]

Hi,

As the doc says - 'This method is not generally useful'

public boolean createNewFile ()

Since: API Level 1
Creates a new, empty file on the file system according to the path
information stored in this file. This method returns true if it
creates a file, false if the file already existed. Note that it
returns false even if the file is not a file (because it's a
directory, say).
This method is not generally useful. For creating temporary files, use
createTempFile(String, String) instead. For reading/writing files, use
FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, or RandomAccessFile, all of which
can create files.
Note that this method does not throw IOException if the file already
exists, even if it's not a regular file. Callers should always check
the return value, and may additionally want to call isFile().
Returns

true if the file has been created, false if it already exists.
Throws

IOException if it's not possible to create the file.

Regards

[android-developers] Re: Will getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() ever change?

[RLScott]

OK, here is what I propose doing now.  I would just like to know if it
is robust or advisable:

I have a string named "root" that is initialized by my main activity
as:

root=getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();

And I have a string called "currentFolder" that holds the current
directory.  It is initially equal to root, but it can change if the
user changes to a subdirectory.

When I want to access a document file I use:

File f = new File(currentFolder, simpleFileName);

To change the current folder I use:

  currentFolder = dirFile.getParent();  //..to navigate up the folder
tree, or
  currentFolder = dirFile.getPath();//..to navigate down the
folder tree.

where dirFile is a file representing a directory.

Now for the "risky" part:  I propose to save "relativeCurrentFolder"
defined as:

relativeCurrentFolder = currentFolder.substring(root.length());

This works based on the assumption that root should always be a prefix
of currentFolder.  Then when the app initializes, I can reconstruct
currentFolder as:

currentFolder = root + relativeCurrentFolder;

That way, if the platform does change in a way that changes root, then
currentFolder will always be properly reconstituted when the app
starts up again.  Does this seem risky or robust?

App data files are private - you can't just browse to their location willy

[android-developers] The current state of C2DM

[Chris Stewart]

It's been quite awhile since I last looked into C2DM and at that time I
remember a lot of developers were not recommending it for various reasons,
although I don't remember those reasons today.  I'm very much in need of
push notification support for an app I'm building, so I've started looking
into C2DM again.  I'm curious if the general attitude toward it has changed
with the developers here and if anyone has trench-level battle stories
they'd care to share.

I have over half a million customers - and a legitimate business

[android-developers] Re: Role of the Compatibility Library?

[ashughes]

Hmm, on my Ubuntu, Eclipse Indigo, ADT 14 setup it's still called
"Android Compatibility package" in the Android SDK Manager (with rev4
installed). Also, right clicking on a project -> Android Tools shows
"Add Compatibility Library...", and the jar itself is stored under
extras/android/compatibility/ (although it's called android-support-
v#.jar).

[android-developers] Re: Role of the Compatibility Library?

[ashughes]

Thanks Dianne for the explanation. I forgot that that was the reason
ActionBarSherlock is a library project and not a jar (the resource
problem).

FYI, it's still called the "Android Compatibility package" in the
Android SDK Manager. I understand your reasoning for it being called
the "support library" however.

[android-developers] Re: Scenario where initLoader() does not call onLoadFinished()

I can't see this was fixed in rev.4, actually. But workaround using
android:configChanges suggested by Mark did the job pretty well for
me.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ROM

[Kristopher Micinski]

This group isn't intended for custom rom building.  If you would like
to do that, please have a look at:

source.android.org

There are a few videos you can find on how to build a custom version
of the source (building the source by hand isn't too bad, and is a
good exercise for those looking to get an overview of how the build
process works and how the system fits together)..  It isn't too bad,
and after that, you have to dig in the docs of the android tree to get
the configuration options that you want for your individual device,
and whatever software you want to preinstall, etc...

[android-developers] Need Help with ScrollView

[Mark Phillips]

I have the following layout:

LinearLayout - vertical
  TableLayout
  ScrollView
  TableLayout
  LinearLayout

When I fill the TableLayout in the ScrollView with rows, it pushes the
bottom LinearLayout off the screen. How do I get these three layouts to work
together so all three appear on the screen, and I can scroll the center
layout to see all of the table? I only want 6 rows of the table to be
visible. It all fits with room to spare if I only have 6 rows in the table.

I can make it work if I do this:

LinearLayout - vertical
  TableLayout
  LinearLayout - android:layout_height="360dp"
 ScrollView
 TableLayout
  LinearLayout

Is this the "right" way to handle this problem - specifying a specific
height? Since devices have different screen sizes, do I need some sort of
code to get the screen size and compute this value at the start of the
program? Is there a more "android" way of accomplishing what I want?

Thanks!

Mark

[android-developers] New updates tools with Ant build R14 gives Duplicate files at the same path inside the APK.

[Joachim]

Since the update to the R14 my ant builds have stopped working even
after updating the projects.

I get the following error

-package:
[apkbuilder] Creating App1-debug-unaligned.apk and signing it with a
debug key...
[apkbuilder] Found duplicate file for APK: com/test/spinner/lib/
DS_recipe_email.html
[apkbuilder] Origin 1: /Users/usersa/Documents/workspace/MyLibrary/bin/
classes.jar
[apkbuilder] Origin 2: /Users/usersa/Documents/workspace/MyLibrary/bin/
classes.jar

This seems odd as it seems to be saying that I have a duplicate file
in the same file twice.

Here's the general setup.

App1 as a Library of MyLibrary.

MyLibrary does use the FacebookSDK library although in the past I
would just have App1 use MyLIbrary and Facebook SDK for the ant build.

Any thoughts would be great,

Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] Will getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() ever change?

[Dianne Hackborn]

There are definitely going to be situations where this path is different
from the particular constant you see today on your device.  Whether this
path could change on you after a platform update where your app's data is
still left intact...  I doubt that would happen, and if it did we'd probably
have to do something about existing apps for compatibility.

No, nothing like this will appear in the support library any time soon.  An
ActionBar implementation requires significant resources to go with it
(drawables, layouts, attributes, etc), and at this point it is not feasible
to package that kind of stuff up into a jar.

Even if we make it possible to have resources in a har -- and that is
something that may happen in the not so long term -- you wouldn't want to do
this with the support lib unless you also had a tool to strip all of that
stuff out for apps that aren't using it...  and *that* is a big enough
amount of work that it probably isn't worth doing any time soon.

Oh and btw, as far as I am concerned it is totally wrong to call this the
"compatibility library."  The library is called the "support library,"
because that is what it actually use -- various useful support classes.
 There is a fair amount there that helps with using newer platform APIs
while still being able to run on older platform versions, but there is a lot
of other stuff there as well.  In particular, ViewPager.

Anything we provide with the platform is also going to require use as a
library project instead of a jar, because a widget like this also requires
various resources which you can't put in a plain jar.

Re: [android-developers] Re: When my app force closes, does it also close the associated service?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Er your subject line on this thread is "when my app force closes..."  Force
close == crash.

Anyway, what will happen at that point depends on what previously happened.

If you crash once, the service will be restarted.

If you continue to crash, the system will eventually decide that your app is
broken and not restart its services anymore.  Exactly when it decides this
is an undefined policy of the platform, based on how frequently this is
happening.

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap issues - failing silently, not OOM

[mjmeyer]

I have seen something similar when using the unbuffered variants of
stream readers when getting from urls.

Youre using a BufferedInputStream which might have the same effect. I
successfully use the following to get images into bitmaps and was
having similar problem until it was changed to use BufferedReader so
you might try refactoring a bit and see if it helps.

BufferedReader in = null;
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
in = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream, null, decodeOptions);

[android-developers] Will getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() ever change?

[RLScott]

My app manages a set of data files organized into folders.  Of course
they are all under the app's root folder of:

   getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()

As part of my saving of the application state in onPause, I need to
save the current directory.  Because of the way I navigate up and down
the folder tree, the most convenient form for me to store the current
directory is as an absolute path.  I could do that, but I have a
concern.  What if the user upgrades his Android OS after my app has
saved the current folder info?  Is it possible that some future
version of Android will use a different app path for my documents?  If
so, that would invalidate my saved current directory, and the next
time the user tries to open my app after that Android upgrade, it will
probably crash with an improperly formed full path name.  I don't care
what the absolute path is to my app's documents.  I just don't want it
changing behind my back.  Is that something I need to worry about?  Or
must I find a way to save the relative folder name rather than the
absolute?

[android-developers] Re: Android - dynamic web image - GUI

[Tomas]

Thanks,

look interesting.

So does it mean that I need to handle image dimensions by myself
depending on the device density? And also that I can't have the image
with/height predefined in layout xml so GUI tool will correctly
display the layout?

Regards.

Just put the VideoView and the TextView in a RelativeLayout -- if the
TextView is later in the XML file, it will appear to float over the
VideoView.

[android-developers] Re: about layout sizes

[Studio LFP]

I think when you assign it programmatically it defaults to standard pixels.

You would need to get the DisplayMetrics and multiply your pixels by the 
DisplayMetrics.density to get the same thing as dip/dp in the XML.

[android-developers] about layout sizes

[hectordu...@yahoo.com]

hi guys,

I am finding out that a layout (or button) size is different when
doing the definition as folows:

((RelativeLayout)
(app.main_gui.get(RoulleteGlobals.WHEEL_1_3_IDX))).setVisibility(VISIBLE);
((RelativeLayout)
(app.main_gui.get(RoulleteGlobals.WHEEL_1_3_IDX))).getLayoutParams().width=100;
((RelativeLayout)
(app.main_gui.get(RoulleteGlobals.WHEEL_1_3_IDX))).getLayoutParams().height=90;
((RelativeLayout)
(app.main_gui.get(RoulleteGlobals.WHEEL_1_3_IDX))).requestLayout();
etc 

than when defining the xml resource:

   
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="90dip"
android:textSize="14dip"
android:gravity="clip_vertical">

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="70dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:textSize="14dip"
android:gravity="clip_vertical">







I mean, the screen looks with different sizes for each situation, and
i am looking for same sizes in both cases.

I wonder in isn related with another parameter, like density or so
on ...

[android-developers] image (slide)show without images sliding, just changing

[André]

I'm trying to make an image slideshow for android. What I want for it
is a play and pause button, restart button and a previous image
button. And a seek bar for changing the speed the image change.
At the moment I have the file names of the images stored in a database
and the images on the sd-card. Then, for each image have some text in
the database that I want to load in to a textview at the same time as
the image change.

This is what I've done which almost works. It starts to play but stops
after one or two picture. And the buttons above doesn't work including
the seekbar.
I know this might not be the most sophisticated code but if you know
how to solve my problems or have suggestions of how to make it better,
I'd be greatfull.

private ImageView image = null;
private TextView title = null;
private SeekBar speed = null;
private Button play = null, done = null, restart = null, previous =
null;
private Cursor cursor = null;

done = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button22);
restart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button23);
previous = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button24);

speed.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(this);
play.setOnClickListener(this);
done.setOnClickListener(this);
restart.setOnClickListener(this);
previous.setOnClickListener(this);

db = new DBase(this);
db.open();

SharedPreferences prefs = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE);

cursor.moveToFirst();

isPlaying = true;
}
}
}

try {
String path = "/sdcard/App/";

} catch (Exception e) {

}
}

Re: [android-developers] Re: Text on VideoView

The current way I am doing is have Video View and TextView widgets side by
side.
I came across Canvas API with drawText function. exploring how it can be
used to overlay text of video view.

Re: [android-developers] Re: No luck with new ICS CalenderContract

[Mark Murphy]

I haven't had a chance to yet, and probably won't for a few weeks.
Since the Calendar app is in the emulator, I would have expected that
content provider to work. It's possible that it is an emulator bug --
without hardware as a point of reference, it is difficult to tell.

[android-developers] Re: Network related

[Studio LFP]

Try this out. I don't recommend using this as is. You'll want to register a 
receiver for this intent while your app is being used and then unregister it 
when you are done. This is just so you can see how it works.

public class TestService extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if( intent.getAction().equals( 
"android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" ) )
{
Log.i( "TestService", "android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" );
NetworkInfo niCommon = intent.getParcelableExtra( 
ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO );

if( niCommon != null )
{
Log.i( "TestService", "Network Type: " + 
niCommon.getTypeName() );
Log.i( "TestService", "Network Type: " + 
niCommon.getDetailedState().toString() );
}
}
}
}

And I believe you need this in your manifest:









See how that works out for you as a test.

There is no hard limit.

You can run out of memory. This is not strictly tied to the number of
activities you have, any more than running out of memory is tied to
the number of strings you have.

[android-developers] Re: Data values not populating in the gridview on screen orientation using onConfigurationChanged

[Studio LFP]

Are you repopulating the information into the new layout you are switching 
to?

Regardless of if you use configChanges or not, you need to repopulate your 
view. This is automatically invoked without configChanges since your app 
interface is removed and remade (calling onCreate again for you). If you are 
using configChanges, you will need to repopulate your views if you change it 
on one of the onConfigurationChanged events.

[android-developers] Re: Check whether media player is playing media or not

You can't use MediaPlayer.isPlaying() as a static method as it is an 
instanced method. You can have the MediaPlayer instance you create/use be in 
a static variable and work with it from there.

Re: [android-developers] Network related

[Kristopher Micinski]

No, I don't have code lying around for that.

What you would do is create a callback for the ConnectivityManager
that would send a message to your UI thread (or perhaps fire an intent
at it?) to tell it to change the value of the TextView. You can read
up on Messengers, but the point is that you will have some non UI
thread (at least, iirc, I suppose it is possible that this callback
runs in the UI thread, in which case you're in luck, but I can't
remember) that will need to tell the UI thread to change the value of
the textview.. You can find examples of using ConnectivityManager on
google (I found them :-), and you can read about Messenger and the
related in the documentation..

[android-developers] Re: Storing database of information?

[Studio LFP]

Have you considered just making the application come without data and then 
pull the data from a server?  It would be much easier on you to not have to 
republish the application every time you wanted to change some of that data.

The basic steps would be something like this:

1. Publish app without data
2. App checks for the last time it got data against the last update on the 
server
3. Download updated data if needed

You could have it check in the background each time the user used the 
application and notify them that they needed an update or use C2DM for push 
notifications.

Re: [android-developers] Re: alarm type application: alarm manager not waking up application

[Studio LFP]

Have you considered using a MediaPlayer instead of just a straight Ringtone 
object? You can pass the URI of the Ringtone to the MediaPlayer and have 
better functionality.

I use the MediaPlayer and create a MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener to watch 
for the end of the playing. This doesn't always fire, so I also use a 
postDelayed to make sure I check for the end also. You can use 
MediaPlayer.getDuration() and use it to set the time for your postDelayed.

Here are some of the APIs I make use of:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#getDuration%28%29

It's worth upgrading to a more full featured audio player if you want better 
control.

*Note:* I've experienced times where the audio just stops playing without 
posting back a callback like 
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener,
 
MediaPlayer.OnErrorListeneror
 
MediaPlayer.OnInfoListener.
 
Not sure if it was a hardware thing, but I tried everything and there would 
be times where I'd not get any notification of it stopping. Because of that 
fact, I do recommend the postDelayed with the duration (plus a slight time 
padding) of the audio to finish any clean-up after the audio.

As far as i know the onCallStateChanged callback is called when a

On the callback is called for ringing, the phone number is provided
for offhook and idle, the phone number is empty.

[android-developers] Storing database of information?

[Todilo]

Hi, sorry for a bad subject name, just couldn't name it in a good way.
I have an application which is basicly like a wiki which presents
information and images. This information will change frequently (and
images) as well so I was wondering the best way to set it up. It
basically is a list of units and their statistics for a game. Since
unit information and statistics will change after each patch I need to
send that information out with an updated version of the app. What is
a good way of storing this information? Can I have a database which I
recreate upon every update(user will not change the data himself) or
is it better to just have .txt/xml files describing unit information?

Ideas? Been away from android programming for some time.

[android-developers] Re: possible bug in AsyncTask?

[Streets Of Boston]

I found this out the hard way too a while ago :)
I worked around it by just having the first AsyncTask class reference being 
handled on the main UI thread. If you do that, all other instances of 
AsyncTask in your app can be created from any thread.

E.g. in your Application object's *onCreate *you could just call *(new 
MyDummyAsyncTask()).execute()*. Then you can create AsyncTasks on any thread 
you'd like.
