Not really.

 The only way that I could think of is to create a list of the apps and
 clicking each one going to market://details?id=package_name

That is all you will be able to do.

 but
 still that is not so convenient, so I am looking if there is a way to
 check all wanted apps and then enqueue them in order to download one
 after the other (user accepting terms may also exist if you cannot
 avoid them).

No, sorry.

Re: [android-developers] Re: how to use AsyncTask

One consideration though, if i am not wrong, AsyncTasks need to be executed
from the UIThread.

Regarding your code, put the part in which the HTTP Request is sent and the
response is got in line in the doInBackground method of the AsyncTask
so that it runs on the background thread and does not block any execution
on the UIThread, and in postExecute method, return  'line' and process is
as you may

For the reinstall check, we've used a shared preference. If
prefexists, dont check, if pref missing then check the market.

Another kludge would be to use the sqlite db version

Just my 2 cents

 Right.

 No. You can't do anything during the install. You check when you run.

  It still seems like the user is misinformed as to which version of the app
  he is using from a market perspective.

 I don't know what you mean.

No.

Last I checked, in-app purchases were not shown in the Market app -

[android-developers] Documentation for the Android/Google TV YouTube player parameters

2012-02-01 Thread Kevin Courtney

Hello,

Can any of you guide me to some documentation for the Android/Google TV
YouTube player parameters?

I'm working in Java and bringing up the YouTube player on Android Devices
including Google TV.

Specifically I'm looking for playlist parameters but would welcome any type
of documentation.I've found various documents listing YouTube
parameters but they are generally ignored when running on Android devices.
  For the playlist, the first video will play but not the others.

Have any of you successfully used a playlist with the YouTube player?

Thanks in advance,

I doubt there is any official documentation. Bear in mind that the
YouTube player is a proprietary application, not part of the Android
Open Source Project. Hence, we don't even have
reverse-engineered-from-the-source-and-pray-it-does-not-change-ever

These are two mutually exclusive APIs that are frequently, but not
necessarily, used in conjunction.
Alarm = Schedule some action to occur at a specified time (broadcast event,
start service, etc).
Service = Execute some action in the background (ex: sync app with the
cloud).

If you need to ensure your alarm continues to be set and repeating after a
reboot, you would do as Kris already suggested. A Service would not be
required for that.

There are several reasons why View() is not available and will never be

It means you don't understand class instantiation and the life cycle of

  communication with a backend than standard apps.  Maybe this hasn't
  been your experience, but it's been mine.  (And that could just be
  because of the types of apps I write.)  Thanks for your input, though,
  I do suspect that major apps all roll their own.
 
 
  Far from being major, but I use my own, running on App Engine.
  Not really a problem, just some extra work. Authentication can
  be tricky though, if you don't want to use Google accounts
  (which is easy, but a lot of people freak out when they see
  account related permissions on an app). If you only wanted to
  store files/unstructured data, using the Google Cloud storage
  (Google's S3) would probably be the easiest solution, no need
  for a dedicated frontend.
 

 Hey, thanks for telling me this!  I had never known of that perception
 before, and it's really good feedback!

  Amazon makes it fairly easy to use their services (S3, DynamoDB,
  etc), but you need to running a server just to get authentication tokens
  (Token Vending Machine), which is a pain (and potentially expensive).
  For example, you can store data directly in their DynamoDB, without
  needing to roll your own REST frontend:
 
  http://aws.amazon.com/articles/7439603059327617
 

 Cool!  Thanks for the links, I had heard of these before, but I hadn't
 investigated them too much.

  TVM:
  http://aws.amazon.com/articles/4611615499399490
 

 Thanks,

  And then there is https://www.parse.com/ which reportedly takes
  care of all this stuff for you, but I haven't actually used it.
 

 I keep wanting to use it to see what their service is like, so I
 signed up and am going to try it out for a while..

 I doubt there is any official documentation. Bear in mind that the

[android-developers] sqlite databases and non-rooted phones

2012-02-01 Thread John Davis

Hello

I am writing an application which uses a sqlite database.  Previously I was
using a rooted phone to debug/develop this app.  My app does not have any
special permissions, sdcard, etc.

One thing I was doing when using a rooted phone was debugging the database
queries via adb shell.  I would get a shell on the phone and then open the
database and issue sql commands to assist me with my android api usage of
sql.

Now, I have switched to a new phone and it is not rooted.  Personally, I
want to keep this phone non-rooted, but I would like to continue using
direct sql queries to the database.

I've tried various things to work around this issue but none of them work.

I've tried to pull the database via adb pull command to work on a pc copy
of the database.  This does not work.  I have permission problems.
I've tried to do run-as net.skink.swtor.toontracker in order to run as
my application privilege to perform sql queries on the live database but
this does not work either.

Any suggestions on how to work on the database on a non-rooted phone?  I
would prefer to use the database on the phone rather than on a pc.

Yup!  But you can think of RPC and rest doing something similarly

noting, however.

You can add code in the app to copy the database from the app's storage 
directory in internal memory to the memory card, then pull the file to 
the PC and examine.


This code can be in a separate app, if you so desire - you can access 
the main app's files by using a sharedUserId (not recommended for 
production use, but can be useful for debugging).

 The basic answer is: yes.  You *do* need a server to accomplish this.
 Having a backend solution is probably the most feasible path, and it's
 done the majority of the time.

 There are other ways, sms, bluetooth, email, etc...  But these aren't
 really as common as using a web backend.

[android-developers] SyncManager without ContentProvider?

2012-02-01 Thread OldSkoolMark

I am looking at design alternatives for an app that needs to persist
data locally to a sqlite DB, and synchronize its contents with a
server in the cloud. I have the pdf, and have watched the excellent
presentation from IO 2010. All of the recommended patterns use
ContentProviders. The only client to this DB is my app, so I have no
real need for a ContentProvider, except that I would like to use the
SyncManager. I just came across
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4649808/syncadapter-without-a-contentprovider
which suggests that you can provide a dummy content provider which
does nothing, and sync to whatever you like.

Is this possible? Robust?

can only be ONE vpn active at a given time (either a custom impl using
VpnService OR one of the stock android legacy VPNs). The
ParcelFileDescriptor that you get in VpnService allows you to read/
write packets to/from the device. In theory you should be able to
inspect these packets and analyze.

As far as I know, custom VPN implementations using VpnService DO NOT
show-up in the standard VPN configuration settings on the device...and
you actually have to create the client UI code to activate your custom
VPN as well.

[android-developers] Multiple APKs installed to the same location

2012-02-01 Thread BT

Can I create multiple .apk's that install ADDITIVELY to the same /data/
apps/MyApp location?

In my particular case I have add-on modules that are built as C++ NDK
share objects:  Feature1.so, Feature2.so, Feature3.so, etc.  I don't
know what these will be ahead of time and the user must be able to
selectively install only those features they want.

I'm pretty sure iOS does this with in-app purchases, but not sure how
to do it on Android?

Thanks,
BT

Different APK's will have different package names and be installed in 
different directories, so in short, the answer is no.

[android-developers] onResume start a duplicated activity

2012-02-01 Thread leslie.karpati

Hi!

I'am writing an online radio streamer application. It's working very
well (activity-bind service-notificiation bar, ...etc), but
sometimes when I go back to the UI (ex.: click to the application icon
from the menu, when the service and the activity are already running -
 onResume) it's start a new/second/duplicated activity, but the old
one does't killed. For example: when I press key back after that it's
destroy the new activity and going to back to the old one, and I can
kill it too.

I put this code to the onResume:
Log.v(TAG, Activity onResume called. Context:+context);
and onlye when the problem is occured (stared the second activity
above the old one), I got a different contex id.

Where is the problem?

Thanks,
Leslie

[android-developers] Re: Adding custom enum states to an ImageButton

2012-02-01 Thread Nick

Bump

On Jan 20, 1:40 pm, Nick nick.vers...@gmail.com wrote:
 I have searched around and I found good examples on adding custom
 boolean states to a drawable but I am having issues adding a state
 that is a list of enums.  I am sure most of my problems lie within the
 onCreateDrawableState call so I have a few questions.

 1) Is the extraSpace param to onCreateDrawableState the number of
 additional int[] that I would like to add or the size of the int[]? So
 since I am just adding MODE I should just be increasing extraSpace by
 1 and not by MODE.length?
 2) I don't quite understand the mergeDrawableStates method.  If I put
 it in an IF statement I am getting what I expect, but I think I am
 just getting lucky.  I don't feel my IF check is correct.  My initial
 assumption was that I don't do a check and always call
 mergeDrawableStates but then the drawable never changes.  I have seen
 where if the extra state is a boolean then the if statement checks for
 that.  I don't quite know what to do about an enum.
 3) When I do get it working, my ic_button_a is drawn correctly.
 However every time when ic_button_c is getting drawn, ic_button_c is
 resized and stretch to fit the View which includes a background
 graphic that is larger than ic_button_c.  ic_button_a and ic_button_a
 are the same size.

 I have my custom view:
         com.pkg.CustomView
             android:background=@drawable/ic_button_bg
             android:src=@drawable/ic_button
             android:layout_height=wrap_content
             android:layout_width=wrap_content/

 which extends ImageButton.:
 public class CustomView extends ImageButton {

     private static final int[] MODE = {R.attr.mode};
     private int mMode = 1;

     @Override
     public int[] onCreateDrawableState(int extraSpace) {
         final int[] drawableState =
 super.onCreateDrawableState(extraSpace + 1);
         if (mMode != 0) {
             mergeDrawableStates(drawableState, MODE);
         }
         return drawableState;
     }

     public void setMode(int mode) {
         mMode = mode;
         refreshDrawableState();
     }

 }

 I am defining my modes here:
 resources
     declare-styleable name=CaptureButton
         attr name=mode
             enum name=a  value=0 /
             enum name=b  value=1 /
             enum name=c  value=2 /
             enum name=d  value=3 /
             enum name=e  value=4 /
             enum name=f   value=5 /
             enum name=g  value=6 /
             enum name=h  value=7 /
         /attr
     /declare-styleable
 /resources

 My @drawable/ic_button is:
 selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
     xmlns:app=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.pkg;

Re: [android-developers] onResume start a duplicated activity


Is the app originally launched from Eclipse?

If so, beware that Eclipse uses a different intent than would normally 
be used by the Launcher(s), so you may get duplicates like this.


To get a good test, either don't launch from Eclipse, or first press 
Back to close the initial activity, start a new one from Launcher, then 
test your notifications.


Other than that, here is what I use for widgets / notifications.

It matches the intent used by Launcher(s), and so resumes an existing 
activity if there is one:


Intent baseIntent = new Intent(context,  ACTIVITY CLASS 
HERE .class);

baseIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
baseIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
baseIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
baseIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

PendingIntent pendingIntent = 
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, baseIntent,

PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Currently I am using long clicks and an alert dialog to allow users to
select actions that can be performed on an item in a list view.
I would like to replace this with an action button as this seems to be
suggested practice going forward.

Does the sdk provide a drawable for this type of button? I don't see
anything that matches the guideline.

Doing this probably means that your app is designed incorrectly, and

Not really. You can use RemoteViews to push limited UIs from one APK
to the activity of another APK. That, however, would mostly be for
some sort of plugin framework, along the lines of how app widgets plug
into the home screen.

That would be a question for the android-ndk Google Group.

AFAIK, though, this is not supported. Not to mention that it is highly
insecure, because then anyone can replace your .so with one laden with
malware, and your app will happily execute it, with the malware
inheriting all your permissions.

You can certainly have independent APKs, with their own independent
NDK libraries, that communicate through normal Android IPC mechanisms:
services (commands or binding), broadcasts, etc.

This is a large OEM app running on a custom tablet-like display, so

You said that already...  I'm implying that the fact it's going on
your custom device shouldn't be an excuse to not read up on the API
and implement it correctly with respect to the Android semantics.

 Our current system uses a single exe and multiple dll's which all
 create widgets from a shared widget library.  So currently we can make

I don't see what dlls and exes have to do with it: this has nothing to
do with windows.  You're writing Java code, right?  Or are you using
the NDK and interfacing to your .so code?

Right, if you have change the libraries within the apk, you have to
rebuild it.  This is simply because it's java, it's statically linked
to the jars in the file.  An apk is just a zip file with some dalvik
bytecode in it, along with some other resources... What are you
needing this for, anyway?  Is it that you want to have multiple
processes communicating to display stuff on the screen?

[android-developers] Confused about background images

2012-02-01 Thread Mark Phillips

I want to have a background image of a game board in one of my activities,
and I am not sure how to implement it. I have been reading about Drawables
and 9patch, and I am confused about the basics.

1. I can draw the image I want in GIMP, but what size do I make it?
Actually, what sizes, as I assume I have to have one for each of the
different resolutions - hdp, ldp, and mdp? Do I need separate images for
both portrait and landscape orientations?

2. Is 9patch just for buttons, or for background images, too? Is this the
tool I need to help with the screen size issues from question #1?

3. I can't seem to find any good tutorials about how to make a background
image for an activity, and how to make it accommodate all the screen sizes
and resolutions. Yes, I have googled for it and looked in O'Rielley's
Programming Android...;)

Thanks,

Mark

Good point about security, but this isn't a general consumer
application.  The additional libraries can only be downloaded from our
internal servers and only over our internal wi-fi, plus they're hashed
 verified with our internal security server prior to execution.

We have to run on iOS too, which I believe is even more restrictive,
so we'll probably need to consider more alternatives.  But the ideal
solution would've been some way for us to incrementally add shared

I'd still be skeptical from a security perspective, executing code you
can't really be sure about is always a little shady (yes, I know you
said you checked it).  What kind of code do you need?  It's not
something you could encode into some bytecode like instruction
language or dsl?

however this activity don't have them.

My question now how I finish this ActivityGroup how I get rid of it

throws exception . may be this a stupid question but i still beginner
in android and really appreciate any help

Here is my code :

 public class Multi extends ActivityGroup{
LinearLayout layout;
LinearLayout layout_s1;
LinearLayout layout_s2;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.multiview);

layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.multiview_layout);
layout_s1 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_view_1);
layout_s2 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_view_2);

LocalActivityManager mgr = getLocalActivityManager();

layout_s1.addView((mgr.startActivity(MyOtherActivityInstance1,

Correct. This should take a handful of seconds, can be automated by
any number of means, etc. The time spent actually creating the APK
should be negligible compared to the time it takes your test suite to
run on the modified result, just as time required to copy one DLL over
another should be negligible compared to the time it takes your test
suite to run on the modified result.

[android-developers] Re: onResume start a duplicated activity

2012-02-01 Thread leslie.karpati

Hi,

You are right, the Eclipse launch is really makeing some mess:
I have two condition:
1. Launch with eclipse:  It does't start a new activity if I make
visible the application again with the notification, but start a
'second' activity if I try it with the launcher icon.

2. Normal launch: opposite of the previous one :).

I tried your PendingIntent solution, but it does't solved the
problem.
Right now my NotificationHelper looks like this:

public class NotifierHelper {

private Context context;
private NotificationManager notificationManager;

public NotifierHelper (Context context){
Log.v(TAG, NotifierHelper create);
this.context = context;
notificationManager =
(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
}

public void showNotification(){
Log.v(MediaService.TAG, showNofitication called);

 Is the app originally launched from Eclipse?

 If so, beware that Eclipse uses a different intent than would normally
 be used by the Launcher(s), so you may get duplicates like this.

 To get a good test, either don't launch from Eclipse, or first press
 Back to close the initial activity, start a new one from Launcher, then
 test your notifications.

 Other than that, here is what I use for widgets / notifications.

 It matches the intent used by Launcher(s), and so resumes an existing
 activity if there is one:

          Intent baseIntent = new Intent(context,  ACTIVITY CLASS
 HERE .class);
          baseIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
          baseIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
          baseIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
          baseIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

          PendingIntent pendingIntent =
 PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, baseIntent,
                  PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

  Hi!

  sometimes when I go back to the UI (ex.: click to the application icon

  onResume) it's start a new/second/duplicated activity, but the old
  one does't killed. For example: when I press key back after that it's
  destroy the new activity and going to back to the old one, and I can
  kill it too.

  I put this code to the onResume:
  Log.v(TAG, Activity onResume called. Context:+context);
  and onlye when the problem is occured (stared the second activity
  above the old one), I got a different contex id.

  Where is the problem?

[android-developers] Re: running UI thread with AppWidgetProvider class

2012-02-01 Thread David Ross

Actually the Widget uses a RemoteView and you service that view in an
AppWidgetProvider which must register one or more BroadcastReceivers
to handle calls from the AppWidgetManager for updated views or your
own events (through Intents).

The Activity is only used for the optional configuration code that is
run when the user installs the widget in the home screen but after
that Activity finishes the system's AppWidgetManager activates your
BroadcastReceivers.

You can do things like register a click listener for the RemoteView
that will invoke either the same config Activity or another Activity
that provides perhaps extended functionality for the App.

If you want to do something like update the Widget at regular
intervals you must implement your own timer using the AlarmManager
with a PendingIntent and a BroadcastReceiver to handle the event when
the alarm is triggered.

Best to keep your own record of the RemoteView to be updated for each
appWidgetId so that your private internal BroadcastReceivers can
update it. You can use the AppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget() at any
time not just when you get the ACTION_UPDATE intent.

Read the documentation:

 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html

[android-developers] Re: Home screed Widget crash

2012-02-01 Thread David Ross

I would suggest using AlarmManager for your repeating 15s update.
Handle the Intent in a private BroadcastReceiver inside your
AppWidgetProvider. Forget the Service as the scheduling mechanism but
use it for the download of the next image from within your
BroadcastReceiver. In BroadcastReceiver also (re)set the next alarm in
AlarmManager to give the forever 15s repeat. Services can be killed
basically at any time unless they are bound to a Notification but who
wants a Notification if the Widget is on the screen already? Check
your log, you might find the system is killing the Service.

Then, handle Screen On/Off Intents so you only do your downloads when
the screen is on.


On Feb 1, 5:27 am, String sterling.ud...@googlemail.com wrote:
 The failed binder transaction issue basically happens whenever you send
 data too fast to an AppWidget, where too fast is loosely defined. You
 can definitely cause it by sending 1MB at once, but you can also get it by
 sending much smaller quantities at too fast a rate. Which is what it sounds
 like you're doing.

 Your best solution is probably to create a content provider and have your
 widget access that directly for the images, which will avoid the
 RemoteViews (and thus the binder which is causing the problem). A Google
 search for *image content provider* should get you started.

 Having said all that, updating an AppWidget with an image every 15 seconds
 sounds like a recipe for battery drain. You might want to test that
 hypothesis, see how bad the power drain is before you go to the trouble of
 re-implementing the image delivery mechanism. You may need to rethink your
 concept at a deeper level instead.

[android-developers] Ice Cream Sandwich and high memory usage on launch

2012-02-01 Thread dmon

I was doing some memory profiling recently for another issue, and I found 
that, on my phone running ICS, 
as soon as I launch the app the memory is already at about 7 MB, when it 
was usually about 4 MB in others.
I looked at the HPROF file and it seems like the app is keeping a bunch 
(all?) of my app's drawables in memory. 

Is there some pre-fetching going on? Why was this changed? Is there any way 
to disable this? How does
this affect calls to recycle() (see this stackoverflow 
questionhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/9106674/recycle-bitmap-ice-cream-sandwich-force-close)?
 
Is there some official documentation for the 
change?

Or maybe there's something else going on...

[android-developers] EditText selectAll() does not work in ICS

2012-02-01 Thread Stéphane Bruno

Hi,

I am trying to programmatically select all the text in an EditText field 
when a user touches the field so that when the user starts typing it 
replaces the existing text (I cannot use settings in the XML file because 
this field is programmatically added to the screen). To do this, I attached 
an OnFocusChangeListener to the EditText field.  The onFocusChange method 
is below:

@Override

public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

EditText editText = (EditText) v;
if (hasFocus) editText.selectAll();

}

This works fine on Android 2.x, but it does not work in ICS. After touching 
the EditText field, the cursor just sits in the begin of the field and the 
text is not selected. Is it a bug? Is there a workaround?

through telnet ..but location values seems to be empty so...the
latitude and long. values are not getting displayed.
and the text view are not changing the values.it means that
location changed  method is not getting execute neither its if
