[android-developers] Re: Urgent help required
Thomas napisał(a): Hello, You state you want to share this on a public network. What is the URL where the html and and other files live? The code is straight forward enough if that is what you want to do. Best, Tom B OP problem is that he has at least some files as app resources stored in /res/raw folder and typical HTTP server can only access files stored in the file system so he needs either to copy all resources he wants to share to some location in the file system or modify his server to access app resources. When trying the second scenario, docs/guide/topics/resources/providing- resources.html says: raw/ Arbitrary files to save in their raw form. To open these resources with a raw InputStream, call Resources.openRawResource() with the resource ID, which is R.raw.filename. However, if you need access to original file names and file hierarchy, you might consider saving some resources in the assets/ directory (instead of res/raw/). Files in assets/ are not given a resource ID, so you can read them only using AssetManager. so probably it would be better to save his resources in /res/assets/ folder since those resources can be accessed by name and not by id. pskink -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The same way you would for any other country. Sign up for an account, and upload it with the details. You cannot sell paid apps from India.

In my keyboard app (http://www.maxikeys.com) the keyboard LAYOUTS are services provided as seperate apks, which dynamically plugs in the keyboard ENGINE service. You have to make an intent to the plugin service and a serviceConnection with callback methods , and then call the bindService method.

[android-developers] Sending SMS message: Delivered pending intent is not broadcasted on emulator
Hi,
I'm experimenting with sending SMS text messages from one emulator to
another. The blueprint of the code is as given below. The SMS message
is sent successfully to the target emulator. In the code I receive the
broadcast received when the SMS is sent sucessfully (e.g. I see the
message Received SENT-onReceive in the logcat). However, I never
receive the broadcast receiver when the SMS is delivered sucessfully
(e.g. I don't see the message Received DELIVERED-onReceive in the
logcat). Has anyone experienced a similar behavior before? My source
emulator is (Target Name: Google APIs; Platform: 2.1-update1; API
Level: 7) and my target emulator is (Target Name: Android 2.1-update1;
Platform: 2.1-update1; API Level: 7).
Thank you in advance,
String phoneNum = 5556;
String SENT = SMS_SENT;
String DELIVERED = SMS_DELIVERED;
this.registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, Received SENT-onReceive);
.
.
}
}, new IntentFilter(SENT));
this.registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, Received DELIVERED-onReceive);
.
.
}
}, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED));
String message = Test SMS message;
PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new
Intent(SENT), 0);
PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new
Intent(DELIVERED), 0);
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNum, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);

[android-developers] Does this Bluetooth call execute in the UI thread?
I am trying to understand the Bluetooth example given in the Android
Developer docs and I am wondering about this issue:
The example shows a ConnectedThread class which extends the standard
Thread class. There is a custom constructor and a run() method which
executes in the newly-created thread, managing the input stream. But
this ConnectedThread class also exposes another method - write(byte[]
bytes), which is supposed to be called from the main UI thread. But
doesn't the code in this methods actually execute in the main UI
thread? If so, then why does write(byte[] bytes) look like this:
/* Call this from the main Activity to send data to the remote
device */
public void write(byte[] bytes) {
try {
mmOutStream.write(bytes);
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
and are told that mmOutStream.write() is a blocking call. So why does
the official Bluetooth sample show the main UI calling a blocking
method, unless this code is somehow executed by the worker thread.
But I thought that only the code within the run() method is executed
in the worker thread. Can someone clear up this confusion for me?

[android-developers] A Universal Contact us first before rating poorly statement for Customers?
I'm pretty fed up with the marketplace and the way it works. We're starting to place a disclaimer at the bottom of our app description text: We strive to provide a solid gaming experience to everyone but this ultimately impossible due to the way Android OS was made available on multiple devices, running various hardware specs across multiple mobile carriers. If our game does not work on your particular Smartphone or device please contact us directly before writing a negative review. We take ALL customer feedback seriously and we will help you, really, we mean it. Thanks for downloading our games and supporting independent developers! The reason we need to put this on our marketplace description page is because people keep writing comments like Force closed on my Mytouch 4g with 1 star. That phone just came out! How the heck are we suppose to know that phone would force crash? It's getting ridiculous that I have to read comments like these while being unable to respond to them. What developer in this group wants an unhappy customer? Google, do something to help. If the app force closes at least give the customer the option to contact the developer before throwing them right back to the marketplace page with the rate this app button staring the disappointed customer in the face. I'm so fed up with this that I'm seriously going to stop considering android as our target OS. It's going to be an afterthought like blackberry and windows phone. I can much more easily just concentrate on iPhone development like everyone else so please stop tempting me. Does anyone here have a way they catch these types of force close issues that don't result in a send feedback screen being shown? We do get feedback from the crash reports, but some crashes don't show the send feedback window, and some people don't send the reports in. We do fix the problem when the pop up immediately as well. So aside from having to add the above disclaimer does anyone else have alternative solution? I know some of you are going to say don't put out buggy apps (and we do test constantly) but anyone who's been doing this for a while knows that you can't support all phones and devices, especially if they are new model phones just released, its impossible, especially when you add in customers that have rooted phones with memory managers on them, when you add that in its almost like developing for windows 95 all over again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Sure. Catch the exception. Typically, for unhandled exceptions, you use Thread and setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(). Then, take a look at solutions like ACRA for capturing and collection the stack trace and related data. I know some of you are going to say don't put out buggy apps (and we do test constantly) but anyone who's been doing this for a while knows that you can't support all phones and devices, especially if they are new model phones just released, its impossible, especially when you add in customers that have rooted phones with memory managers on them, when you add that in its almost like developing for windows 95 all over again. Then only distribute to devices that you have tested it on. Or, add in some amount of analytics to see what devices you are currently supporting successfully, and distribute to them as well. Plus ensure you have all the right uses-feature, uses-configuration, and compatible-screens elements in the manifest. You can filter devices via the Developer Console for the Market. Then, start using solutions like apkudo, TestDroid Cloud, and LessPainful to extend your testing to more devices. Or, borrow devices at local GTUG/Android Developer Group meetings. Those that seem to work OK you can add back into your distribution. Eventually, once you get enough devices that you are comfortable with, across a range of screen sizes/densities and other configurations/features/versions of relevance, you might consider lifting your device exclusions and distributing to all devices again, addressing problems only as they arise. It is not impossible to support all phones and devices, especially if they are new model phones just released. However, it is probably more difficult for games and other apps that push the envelope on device capabilities. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

It is inconsistent to have Georgia Cracker running side-by-side with 4 billion device users who for any practical will eventually leave a device on the counterit just does not make sense If we are taking the lead on the industry and have already wiped traditional media from the leader-board then it is time we examined the model Even for your example I immediately think of Dianne Hackborn ['s] reply I saw early in my efforts here on the matter of the image scaling tool not being implemented by all vendors ~ as for your windows 95 the first thing I did was start writing a build-driver as do it for you is - rather obviously - not working and not going to work Not surprisingly the first code I wrote here was a throwaway for a GUI designer - implemented SHA-256 on a base class . here we go again you can forget placing disclaimers = we need to find another approach what that is I do not know On Nov 12, 12:02 pm, Binxalot binxa...@gmail.com wrote: I'm pretty fed up with the marketplace and the way it works. We're starting to place a disclaimer at the bottom of our app description text: We strive to provide a solid gaming experience to everyone but this ultimately impossible due to the way Android OS was made available on multiple devices, running various hardware specs across multiple mobile carriers. If our game does not work on your particular Smartphone or device please contact us directly before writing a negative review. We take ALL customer feedback seriously and we will help you, really, we mean it. Thanks for downloading our games and supporting independent developers! The reason we need to put this on our marketplace description page is because people keep writing comments like Force closed on my Mytouch 4g with 1 star. That phone just came out! How the heck are we suppose to know that phone would force crash? It's getting ridiculous that I have to read comments like these while being unable to respond to them. What developer in this group wants an unhappy customer? Google, do something to help. If the app force closes at least give the customer the option to contact the developer before throwing them right back to the marketplace page with the rate this app button staring the disappointed customer in the face. I'm so fed up with this that I'm seriously going to stop considering android as our target OS. It's going to be an afterthought like blackberry and windows phone. I can much more easily just concentrate on iPhone development like everyone else so please stop tempting me. Does anyone here have a way they catch these types of force close issues that don't result in a send feedback screen being shown? We do get feedback from the crash reports, but some crashes don't show the send feedback window, and some people don't send the reports in. We do fix the problem when the pop up immediately as well. So aside from having to add the above disclaimer does anyone else have alternative solution? I know some of you are going to say don't put out buggy apps (and we do test constantly) but anyone who's been doing this for a while knows that you can't support all phones and devices, especially if they are new model phones just released, its impossible, especially when you add in customers that have rooted phones with memory managers on them, when you add that in its almost like developing for windows 95 all over again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Does this Bluetooth call execute in the UI thread?
the official Bluetooth sample show the main UI calling a blocking
method because it is wrong ~ I went through a not-dis-similar issue
with an experienced code engineer with a lifetime of writing code
trying to explain to a musician from euro trying to get a midi device
coded - a thread is a path of exec and other than a few system
issues around security and reliability has ( usually ) almost no
effect on what happens or how and why it happens = the sooner you can
call start() on a thread and let it run the sooner the main() thread
can release
if you block it you throw ANR = simple / factual / real
there are several issues that get too convoluted to figure out in a
simple discussion group post but I got it working after a while ~ this
android thing already has a major portion of what is hard to figure
out already boiler-plated in with an event-handler implemented as
interfaces
maybe not here ~ fast read looks like:
BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
which would be in a run method of a class you write then you just do
Thread yourClassObject dot start() on it which sets it running and do
everything in the code of that class and let main() return
a thread is actually an instruction pointer in the cpu ~ not the
code you are looking at -the code only describes a path of exec for
the instruction pointer to follow

[android-developers] Location - GPS/Network
Hi
I'm trying to take the current location using GPS or Network which ever is
connected. The following code works fine to me if my mobile connected with
WiFi or GPS turned ON. But if both of them turned ON/Connected then it
doesnt give me any result
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 3000,
0, new GeoUpdateHandler());
Location location = null;
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if (location == null)
{
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
200, 0, new GeoUpdateHandler());
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
}
Always Im getting location NULL if both off them connected.
What is wrong here ?
Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Does this Bluetooth call execute in the UI thread?
insert a block of code in ( where ever you want it ) then ... uh, so
I can think, a lot of people dont get it on that thread thing which
you clearly seem to grasp,... anyway you write code for any data the
UI thread has set aside for output and just put that right after the
read ( where ever you put that ) and so it is like:
Thread WorkerThread( Object referenceToWhereItAllStarted){
// now you can drive the UI from the WorkerThread ..
Object UIThing = referenceToWhereItAllStarted; //
All you have to do to implement the two thread solution is go read
enough bouncing balls demo code until one is not propagating
blunders like double checked locking and it is even possible to have
both threads driving the same exact code with nothing more than
storage class synchronized
Everybody give Barrier as the canonical Thread Demo but that is not
how my mind works ~ barriers are true evil cloaked in code
you write a few checks and if code does not complete in some
reasonable time then doSomethingElse(); ( or just runs in a loop on
boolean done )
doSomethingElse(); does not have to be exit - you can write handlers
for that state to suit both your code style as well as customer/
application constraints
a lot of people would not be able to sync() on new
Thread(this).start();
my suggestion for what you have described is not to do waits on 100ms
but rather just do checks on the style of
if
( time dot now )
( time + wait )
{return;}
else { doSomething();}
you usually get the timecheck backwards but they have it right in the
Timer classes you just have to give yourself dozens of times coding it
and not think you got it right until you cannot prove your code wrong
for the code you are describing the os / system should have effective
wrappers around all the driver code such that it runs correctly and if
not trying to fix it results in good guesses that end up with weekend
calls or whole company in ruination
if you have crash-boxes you can test to destruction on it you are way
ahead of the unlucky ...

[android-developers] Library projects -- Build path error
Hi, I've just upgraded my instalation of the Android SDK and I'm facing a new problem. Let's see if someone else have faced it. I've created a project AppCore, and a projects App. AppCore is a library project (project - properties - android - Is Libray), while App and AppAds have AppCore as library (project - properties - android - Library - Add - AppCore). (1) Clean, rebuild,... and App does not build (AppCore does build without problem). The error is: The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved project - properties - Java Build Path shows no errors. The Libraries tab shows a new entry Library Projects pointing to AppCore. This problem happens both to new project I create after the upgrade of the SDK and the ADT plugin, as well as to old projects that I have created before the upgrade. No need to tell that those old projects were compiling without problem with the old SDK/ADT. So I open .classpath and find this: classpath classpathentry kind=src path=src/ classpathentry kind=src path=gen/ classpathentry kind=con path=com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK/ classpathentry kind=con path=com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.LIBRARIES/ classpathentry kind=output path=bin/classes/ /classpath After a lot of trial-error, I've found that if I remove the LIBRARIES entry, the build path error does not show (of course, it complains about a lot of missing classes). Any further idea? Any hint? (1): You probably guess that I will create a project AppAds, and that AppCore is the shared code, while App is the paid version and AppAds is the free version with Ads. App clases extends AppCore classes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
