Re: [android-developers] Trying to exit app( using finish() ) gives ANR on device but not on emulator

[KK]

hi,
Seems the logcat

11-26 13:32:06.727: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(10779): FATAL EXCEPTION: Timer-0
11-26 13:32:06.727: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(10779):
java.lang.IllegalStateException
11-26 13:32:06.727: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(10779): at

11-26 13:32:06.727: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(10779): at
java.util.Timer$TimerImpl.run(Timer.java:284)


is pointing to the following location(Line 174). I'm using the following
code to play a user-selected song



try {
mMediaPlayer.reset();
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(filename);
 mMediaPlayer.prepare();
mMediaPlayer.start();
showNotification(finalPosition);
 Log.d(TAG, "duration: " + mMediaPlayer.getDuration());
mSeekBar.setMax(mMediaPlayer.getDuration());
 // Keep updating the seekbar with current position

timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 if (null != mMediaPlayer
&& mMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() < mMediaPlayer
 .getDuration()) {
mSeekBar.setProgress(mMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition());
 }

}
}, 100, 200);

mMediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {

@Override
 public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {
nextSong();
}
 });
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 }



As the error is pointing to this line
   *if (null != mMediaPlayer && mMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() <
mMediaPlayer.getDuration())*
*
*
something is wrong here but surprisingly this is working fine on emulator
without any such error, any idea how is that possible?
 Thanks for your help.

Regards,
KK

Try to cancel() the timer before releazing media player

Also try to avoid Timer/TimerTask, use Handler instead

hi Pskink,
That actually worked, I moved the timer.cancel() before releasing the
mediaplayer. But what is the logical reasoning behind this, would you mind
explaining in a word or two? or may be point me to any web reference that
explains the thing. Thanks in advance.

Re: [android-developers] Help please

I just told you. You need to know at what time your product comes onto the
screen, what it is and where on the screen it will be displayed. You can
then watch for a click on that part of the screen at the time it is
supposed to come. Then do whatever you want with the click.

Sure, read MediaPlayer SDK docs and find out when you may call
getCurrentPosition()

Seeing as you only want the user to click on the product, I'd image you
could overlay and invisible view onto that part of the screen and listen
for touch events on that. If you don't know how to do that, I suggest that
you search the web.

Btw if you still use Timer/TimerTask combination you can still
sometimes face your problem since Timer uses its own Thread for
running TimerTasks. In order to avoid this you will need to implement
some synchronization.

Or use Handlers

[android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one

[KK]

hi All,
I'm trying to use Notification manager and Pending Intent so that whenever
the user clicks the notification the currently running activity's UI is
shown. However in the code I'm using, as shown below opens up a new
instance of the app instead of leading the user to the currently running
one:

---code snippet
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// //Add current song to notification bar
 CharSequence tickerText = "Demo Alert";
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
 CharSequence contentTitle = "Now playing";
CharSequence contentText = "Demo song";
 PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
getApplicationContext(), 0, new Intent(this,
 DemoPendingIntentActivity.class), 0);

Notification notification = new Notification(
 R.drawable.ic_stat_playing, tickerText, when);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), contentTitle,
 contentText, pendingIntent);
notification.contentIntent = pendingIntent;
 // Make the notification non-clearable
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
 mNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
---code snippet

How do I open up the currently running activity instead of opening a new
one? Please let me know whats going wrong in the above code. Appreciate
your time.

Thanks,
KK

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to call the activity class

[Kristopher Micinski]

Ah yes,

it does sound like this is a phonegap specific question, which means it
doesn't belong on this list.

(Actually, it might belong on the list if there were something sdk related,
but it sounds like what you want to do is start an activity, right?  You
know how to start an activity regularly, right?  Have you read the SDK docs
on that one?  If not, do that, then see what else you need.)

Re: [android-developers] Where do we use uses-feature android:required="false"?

[Jovish P]

if an application requests the CAMERA permission but does not declare a
 element for android.hardware.camera, Android Market
considers that the application:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.htmlrequires
a camera and should not be shown to users whose devices do not
offer a camera.

If you don't want Android Market to filter based on a specific implied
feature, you can disable that behavior. To do so, declare the feature
explicitly in a  element and include an
android:required="false" attribute. For example, to disable filtering
derived from the CAMERA permission, you would declare the feature as shown
below.

Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one

[Mark Murphy]

Add either FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT or the combination of
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP as flags to your
Intent. The latter finishes all other activities that might be on your
back stack; the former simply brings any existing copy of the activity
back to the foreground.

[android-developers] Re: Where do we use uses-feature android:required="false"?

[limtc]

Oh, so is this summary correct? Assuming the app requested a CAMERA
permission.

1) Do not declare 
- Android Market will NOT show app to devices without camera.

2) Use 
- Android Market will show the app to all devices with or without
camera.

3) Use 
- Android Market will need the camera feature to be there, and will
NOT show app to devices without camera.

But if this is true, isn't 1) and 3) the same? That's why I am
confused. Thanks for any clarification.

Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one

[KK]

Thanks for the hints. I'm trying to use the FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT
flag but the behavior remains as earlier. After the activity starts, I
press "Menu" to go to home and then pull down the "Notification list" click
on the current one (for my demopendingintent activity) and it brings me a
new activity page. I've added exit buttons and logs through which I'm able
to conclude that it starts a new activity rather than bringing the one
running in the background. May be I'm doing something wrong in my code.
Please find below the code snippet I'm using for showing notifications etc.

---code snippet

private void showNotification() {
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)
getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
 // //Add current song to notification bar
CharSequence tickerText = "Demo Alert";
 long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
CharSequence contentTitle = "Now playing";
 CharSequence contentText = "Demo song";

Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this,
 DemoPendingIntentActivity.class);
notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);

Notification notification = new Notification(
R.drawable.ic_stat_playing, tickerText, when);
 notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), contentTitle,
contentText, pendingIntent);
 notification.contentIntent = pendingIntent;
// Make the notification non-clearable
 notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationId, notification);
 }


*and the onCreate() is given below:*

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

 mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 Log.d(TAG, "Shutting down app");
finish();

 }
});

showNotification();
 }

--- code snippet

Would appreciate if someone can point me whats going wrong here. Many
thanks.

Regards,
KK

Re: [android-developers] How to use PendingIntent to open existing activity and not a new one

[Mark Murphy]

The only times I've done this with Notifications, I have used
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP. I assumed
FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT would work as well, but apparently I am
mistaken.

Correct. Ideally, you'd still put in  with required=true
for documentation purposes, but it is not necessary.

Correct. You can use PackageManager and hasSystemFeature() to
determine whether the device has a camera at runtime.

Correct.

1) delivers the same results as 3) due to a side-effect of requiring
that permission.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#permissions

"Some feature constants listed in the tables above were made available
to applications after the corresponding API; for example, the
android.hardware.bluetooth feature was added in Android 2.2 (API level
8), but the bluetooth API that it refers to was added in Android 2.0
(API level 5). Because of this, some apps were able to use the API
before they had the ability to declare that they require the API via
the  system.

"To prevent those apps from being made available unintentionally,
Android Market assumes that certain hardware-related permissions
indicate that the underlying hardware features are required by
default. For instance, applications that use Bluetooth must request
the BLUETOOTH permission in a  element — for legacy
apps, Android Market assumes that the permission declaration means
that the underlying android.hardware.bluetooth feature is required by
the application and sets up filtering based on that feature."

No problem. Eventually, I'm going to spend the time to try a zillion
combinations of Intent flags, activity attributes, and launching
scenarios and try to come up with a definitive roster of
recommendations. That shouldn't take more than three, maybe four years
for me to work through... :-)

[android-developers] Re: Where do we use uses-feature android:required="false"?

[limtc]

I see. Thanks for the explanation!

So if I don't declare it, based on the table, it will assume I uses
features:

android.hardware.camera and
android.hardware.camera.autofocus

So in order for me to show the app in Android Market that does not
support camera (like low end camera-less tablets), I will need:



I am not too sure whether I need to declare or not? Since autofocus is
often unnecessary for many apps.

[android-developers] Have an extra $800 lying around for a mobile ESRB rating? Didn't think so.

[Binxalot]

How are small developers to pay this fee upfront for the privilege of
having their games appear in the marketplace? It's already clear
Google only wants AAA titles upfront and center on the marketplace
splash page which was bound to happen, but can the platform really
support itself with only a handful of AAA developers making apps? .
Anyone have any idea as to how bad this is going to be?  Is there a
group lobbying Google and the esrb on behalf indie developers that we
can rally behind?

AFAIK, if you do not require a camera, you do not require an autofocus camera.

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[New Developer]

Using Intent

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(getApplicationContext(),  display.class);
startActivity(intent);

The activity is hardware accelerated.  When I call this intent
the layout is   NOT   hardware accelerated
How can I create  an intent  that  is Also hardware accelerated ?

Thanks in advance

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

What would it even mean to hardware accelerate an intent?

What?

I'm confused.

The activity the intent targets uses hardware accelerated graphics?

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[New Developer]

my mistake
I'm meaning the Activity that the intent  calls/starts

public class display extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
fName = CURRENT_IMAGE;
setContentView(R.layout.image_viewer);


getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED , 
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED);


parent = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.image);
parent.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);
Log.e("display", "parent  is  " + parent.isHardwareAccelerated());
video  = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
Log.e("display", "1) videois  " + video.isHardwareAccelerated());

both parent and video  return  FALSE ,  How do I get them too return true ?
I'm under the impression getWindow  and  setLayerType   would do it

Thanks in advance

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[Romain Guy]

Try setting the flag before calling setContentView(). You should also not
have to do it this way. The best way to enable hardware acceleration is to
set android:hardwareAccelerated="true" on the  tag of your
manifest. You should not do it manually one very activity and/or window
unless you have very good reasons to do so.

[android-developers] Re: Android paid technical support

[jtoolsdev]

For users Google could do a lot better job about being in the face of new 
users to understand how the Market works.  I occasionally get those "if I 
get a new phone can I move your app on it" emails which are NOT for the 
developer to actually answer.   I point them to the Market Help and at the 
same time tell them "sure, as long as you don't change your email 
associated with the Market."

I'll second that  First, what is an ESRB rating, and why should
we care?  If something like this were true, wouldn't there have been
a post from google (or rather, someone from google) here to let us
know about it?

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[New Developer]

Thanks
I would tend to agree, sadly  I already have the  
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"  set in manifest
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"   android:label="@string/app_name" 
android:debuggable="true" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">


I also have it on both Activities
android:screenOrientation="landscape" 
android:configChanges="orientation" />
android:screenOrientation="landscape" 
android:configChanges="orientation" />


this I think is what gives the screen  isHardwareAccelerated  as  true

11-26 15:25:54.730: E/main(16712): screen   is  true <--  from 
MainActivity  just before  startActivity is called
11-26 15:25:55.140: E/display(16712): parent  is  false <--  from 
display.class  showing the parent is now false

11-26 15:25:55.140: E/display(16712): video   is  false

This was after I moved the getWindow  before the setContentView()  as 
suggested


setContentView(R.layout.image_viewer);

parent = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.image);
parent.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);
Log.e("display", "parent  is  " + parent.isHardwareAccelerated());
video  = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
Log.e("display", "video   is  " + video.isHardwareAccelerated());



Anything else I can try ?

Thanks again

Jim,

ESRB?  That huge organization that rates video games and puts the little
"T," "E," and occasionally "M" stickers on the games?

http://www.original-gamer.com/og/images/esrb.png

Surely you've seen the little icons, but it is scary if it is indeed that
the market is biasing towards games with endorsed ratings..

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[Romain Guy]

You are doing the check from onCreate(), it's too early. At this point, the
view hierarchy may have not enabled hardware acceleration yet.

Re: [android-developers] screenshots

[Mark Murphy]

It's possible it's a bug in the device. Some devices do not send
appropriate screenshot data to DDMS. I've had a couple that did that,
notably the Qualcomm MDP.

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[New Developer]

Does hardware acceleration effect in any way   VideoView  when 
displaying a video ?


Thinking back and seeing that onCreate reports hardwareAcceleration as 
false, because this is too early

and in fact it is true when checked after onCreate.

perhaps all along I have had hardware acceleration, so then the question 
should have been does  h/w acc.  effect VideoView

and this is why I can hear but not see the video ?

Thanks

Well, yes and no  I would just expect the games to end up moving
to a different market (like soc.io, spamazon, etc.).  Of course, if

VideoView should not be affected by hardware acceleration since its

Re: [android-developers] hardware acceleration

[New Developer]

Thanks that is good to know,
then what causes the err=-19  and the image not to show , while the 
audio plays.
It is a std  .3gp file recorded using the camera.  and plays fine with 
Gallery


All help has been greatly appreciated

Thinking back and seeing that onCreate reports
hardwareAcceleration as false, because this is too early
and in fact it is true when checked after onCreate.

perhaps all along I have had hardware acceleration, so then the
question should have been does  h/w acc.  effect VideoView
and this is why I can hear but not see the video ?

Thanks

[android-developers] AudioService grabs audio focus on ICS when I do AudioManager#setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION)

[Shri]

My app does requestAudioFocus(STREAM_VOICE_CALL) and then calls
AudioManager#setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION). The log shows that this
immediately causes the audio focus to be lost to
AudioService.IN_VOICE_COMM_FOCUS_ID
("AudioFocus_For_Phone_Ring_And_Calls"):

I/AudioService(23967):  AudioFocus  requestAudioFocus() from
android.media.audiomana...@41a56f58com.shri.MyApp@41b1c450
E/audio_hw_primary(  117): Leaving IN_CALL state, in_call=0, mode=3
I/AudioService(23967):  AudioFocus  requestAudioFocus() from
AudioFocus_For_Phone_Ring_And_Calls

There is no such loss in audio focus on Gingerbread. Also, if I do
AudioManager#setMode(MODE_NORMAL), there is no loss in audio focus,
but I have other issues (volume is low because the GIPS audio library
does not route audio correctly).

Looking at AudioService.java (http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/
Android/android-core/platform-frameworks-base/android/media/
AudioService.java.htm), I see that AudioService.IN_VOICE_COMM_FOCUS_ID
grabs focus when there is an incoming phone call using
PhoneStateListener. I registered my own PhoneStateListener, but it did
not get called when I called
AudioManager#setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION).

Can I use AudioManager#setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION) while keeping
audio focus?

[android-developers] Re: Where do we use uses-feature android:required="false"?

[limtc]

What I mean is that since the assumption is both features are true, to
switch it off probably need to set both to false:




I believe many developers will not declare the camera.autofucus to
false.

[android-developers] Details on the "load apk and start the app" process?

[B Lyon]

I am trying to follow the process by which the system takes an apk and
fires up the associated app.  Specifically, I'm trying to find the
framework code where it reads the app manifest and acts on the
user-requested permissions and "instrumentation" tag (if it is there).
 I've can't seem to find the stuff that does this, and am hoping it's
right in front of my face somewhere on the web.

I've watched logcat to see what seems to happen when an apk is
installed from eclipse, and I see a PackageIntentReceiver do some
stuff (this is a private class in
com.android.settings.applications.ApplicationsState).  But the trail
gets cold for me in ApplicationsState.addPackage.  That might not even
be the class that is doing the work I am interested in.

Re: [android-developers] Have an extra $800 lying around for a mobile ESRB rating? Didn't think so.

[Christopher Van Kirk]

Once again, where's the evidence of this? The OP implied that Google has 
stipulated games will not make its front view without an ESRB rating, 
yet I find no evidence of a press release that says this.

ESRB?  That huge organization that rates video games and puts the

Oh, those ratings.  Ok, got it now



but it is scary if it is indeed [true] that the market is
biasing towards games with endorsed ratings..

Well, yes and no  I would just expect the games to end up moving
to a different market (like soc.io, spamazon, etc.).  Of course, if
joe.average Android user doesn't KNOW about those other marketsyeah,
you're right...it's bad.  :-(

Later,

Re: [android-developers] Re: Galaxy Nexus can't go in USB Host mode, no mouse no usb stick.

[Christopher Van Kirk]

It's surprising that you're surprised.

I'm not talking about USB Mass Storage but about the possibility to

This is possible since a modder enabled a kernel options and now it
works but a feature like this
must be enabled by default without any modding needed.

They explained this already. It's because the Galaxy Nexus has no SD card.
