Sorry, I just don't see your point.. Your app is already going to be
"tested" by thousands of uses running it in the long run, these services
simply provide  services that will show what you will see "in real life."

If you're worried about your app "getting out there" and the tester ripping
it off, that's a valid concern.  My answer to this is to go with a trusted
tester who has a reputation that would be destroyed by them hurting you
like this..

Re: [android-developers] Android OpenGL: Possibly Running Out Of Memory?

[Romain Guy]

Are you loading 28 PNGs in a single 1024x1024 texture or are you
loading 28 1024x1024 textures? If it's the latter, you need 112 MB of
RAM.

[android-developers] Get broadcast when media is unmounting. Before Media Unmounted

[Vivek Khandelwal]

I need to received intent when the media is unmounting.

So that I can save the file in sdcard.

I used MEDIA_UNMOUNTED, MEDIA_EJECT both are received after the media
is unmounted, and at that point it is not possible to save the file.

I don't want have a separate thread that will be working in background
to save the file when modified.

Is there any other way to save the file.

[android-developers] setText() not updating, appending() repeating the original button push's result

[e0s]

So I have this code:

buttonUpdateStatus.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View v){

textViewStatus.setText(ni.getDetailedState().toString());


}

the ni ConnectivityManager reference is being created in the OnCreate
method as well. I have the ni.getDetailedState() method called
whenever a button is clicked, it works the first time, but when the
network changes status and i click it again, it only gives me the
response it gave the first time, and not the new detailedstate it
should have..what's going on? Also, when I turn the phone on it's side
to force it to destroy and recreate itself, I can get the new
detailedState to appear..
 I can give the source code if anyone wants to see what I'm talking
about

[android-developers] Multi-stretchable nine-patch (ChessBoard)

[Uniser]

Android-SDK: You can have as many stretchable sections as you want:
their relative size stays the same, so the largest sections always
remain the largest.

When I have 5 an less stretchable areas in nine-patch.png it work
good.
When I have 6 and more stretchable areas nine-patch is blur (diffuse).
This effect is obtained only on my device [LG Optimus One (P500)]
Android layout editor in eclipse and tools draw9patch displays the .
9.png correctly.
My goal is to create an image of chess-board :)

Five stretchable areas in tools draw9patch:

Re: [android-developers] 32bit PNG in CS5

[Jean-Francois Im]

I think the text in CS5 is a bit misleading, it refers to 32 bit per
channel(ie. 96 bits for R, G and B all together) whereas Android
expects 32 bit total(ie. 8 bit per channel, 32 bits total for R, G, B
and A).

In Photoshop CS5, you can save it as a PNG with an alpha channel using
File > Save for Web & Devices... and making sure the transparency
checkbox is checked.

[android-developers] Move all "upper left" actions somewhere else

[philsward]

I would like to make a gripe about the use of the UX upper left corner
of the screen.  Apple has done this with the iPhone since it's
inception and now Android is beginning to push that region of the
phone.  I personally find the upper left corner to be the absolute
worst possible location to have any type of "back" or "action" button
for an application or user experience.  I'm guessing the goober who
decided to use that area of the screen is left handed or something...
I feel like Android has copied the iPhone's use of this area to make
the people switching from an iPhone to Android, more at home but I
think overall, it is not a smart move.  I also don't like the idea of
Android copying something from the iPhone.  I like and use Android
because it's NOT an iPhone...

With phone screens getting bigger, the upper left corner of the screen
is becoming more and more difficult to reach without awkwardly moving
your hand to accommodate for it's poor location.  I predict that with
the rumored iPhone 5's large screen, Apple will move this action
somewhere else that is much more user friendly.  Up to this point, the
iPhone's screen real estate has been such that it hasn't been a big
hindrance but again, with larger screens this is flat out annoying.  I
am right handed and typically use my phone one handed.  I am male and
have reasonably long fingers.  If the use of the upper left area of
the screen annoys me on a Nexus S, how do people with smaller hands
feel about this?

To accommodate for this annoyance, I usually just hit the back arrow
but even that gives me undesired affects by occasionally taking me
completely out of an application.  I also realize that the upper
portion of the screen is usually reserved for a page title and there
is typically a lot of unused space in that area.  I also realize that
placing it in the upper right corner of the screen usually means "to
go forward" which would probably go against most people's natural
thinking since we have been conditionally taught that left is back,
right is forward...

What are other's thoughts on the use of the upper left corner of the
screen?  Sure it is fine for someone who is left handed, but the
percentage of left handed people is only around 10% (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-handedness) which doesn't cater very well
to the other 90%...  (Sorry lefties)

Do you find it as annoying as I do or am I just being hard to please?

[android-developers] How to get phone number if a contact has more than one number in Android

How can I access to another cell number. Thanks in advance.

Here is my code:

@Override

Intent pb = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pb, 1);
}
});

}

[android-developers] How is 'End Call using power button' implemented?

[Prashant Pathak]

Hi all.

As we all know that there is an accessibility option to end call using
power button. What got me thinking was whether its possible to pick up
a call using a physical button.

This what I know so far.
- The API doesn't allow apps to change call state.
- Remapping the keys is not a solution.

So, it requires changes to the ROM itself.

Thus, I was wondering is how is the accessibility setting for end call
using power button implemented in the source code? Perhaps I can use
that as a starting point in trying to pick up a call.

[android-developers] sendDataMessage() returns NullPointerException

[Brandon]

I'm trying to create a simple app to send and receive binary messages
between phones.  I'm using an EditText to get the message and I have
hardcoded my phone number in for testing on my phone for now.  The
function call looks something like:

sms_manager = SmsManager.getDefault();
try {
sms_manager.sendDataMessage(MY_NUMBER, null, (short) SMS_PORT,
msg.getBytes(), piSend, piDelivered);
} catch(NullPointerException e) {
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.error)).setText("NullPointerException
caught");
}

When I run it on a virtual device nothing happens but I don't get an
error (I can make a working text version of this which works on the
phone and also does nothing on the virtual device).  Every time I run
it on my phone it throws the NullPointerException without getting to
either of the PendingIntent objects (which make a Toast).  When I
debug it in eclipse it seems that ISms$Stub$Proxy.sendData() is
generating the NullPointerException.  I haven't been able to figure
out what that means exactly but I have read elsewhere that this
function works on GSM phones and throws a NullPointerException on CDMA
phones.  I am testing on a CDMA Droid2 Global.  Does anyone know if I
am doing something wrong if this function just doesn't work with
CDMA?  Any suggestions for a workaround?

Thanks,
Brandon

[android-developers] Publisher language selection

[radadev]

I'm an Android developer and I have a publisher account. My publisher
page is in Spanish for some reason, and I want to change it back to
English. It's not a huge problem because I know Spanish as a second
language, but English was my first language, so I'd much rather have
it back to that. I can't seem to find the option to do so, though.

[android-developers] Should I use Action bars

[Drun]

I seen that google is trying to get developers to use action bars
instead of menus, but also know that action bars were not put in till
3.x, and I am targeting 2.1 as the min SDK.  I have seen that there
are a few libraries out there to try to imitate action bars for as far
back as 1.6.

My question is this, is it worth it to force action bars to older
version of android, or is it ok just to stay with menues, and use that
in the code.

[android-developers] Which is best method to implement Tabular data with fixed header

[Sathish]

Dear Friends,

I want to display tabular data with fixed header and dynamically
updating column data.(Eg. Stock market application which shows fixed
header and dynamic data which needs to updates particular column
value). Is it better to go for TableLayout or ListView with  custom
ArrayAdapter. The view should scroll as it contains many columns and
rows.

Please can anyone answer my 2 questions:

records.Please can anyone guide how this can be done, How I can build
table with all data inserted.



2) Later if I want to update my database table with 500 more records
what is the procedure to do it.



Please note the insertion/Updation of data is not to be done
programtically by Sqllite in the code rather by the creator of the app
himself

[android-developers] Re: Spinner with a custom dialog (with a searchbox - EditText -, ListView with custom Adapter - results)

[Ravi Vyas]

Why don't you just use a Textview which on click opens a 
dialog/activity with a listview & a edittext for search and return the 
selected value to the TextView. You can design the entire thing so that it 
looks like a spinner.

[android-developers] Android OpenGL: Possibly Running Out Of Memory?

[chris2404]

I think that some Android devices dont have enough memory to load the
amount of textures, although it could be something else causing the
issue, as I said I really dont know what to do with this.

There are 28 PNG's being loaded all 1024x1024 which come to a total of
4.8megs. Below is the OpenGL method for loading textures

GL10 gl = glGraphics.getGL();
int[] textureIds = new int[1];
gl.glGenTextures(1, textureIds, 0);
textureId = textureIds[0];

InputStream in = null;
try {
in = fileIO.readAsset(fileName);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureId);
GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);
setFilters(GL10.GL_LINEAR , GL10.GL_LINEAR);
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
width = bitmap.getWidth();
height = bitmap.getHeight();
bitmap.recycle();
} catch(IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("Couldn't load texture '" +
fileName +"'", e);
} finally {
if(in != null)
try { in.close(); } catch (IOException e) { }
}
There are no issues on my Desire HD, but on a HTC Cha Cha a lot of
textures dont appear at all and on a Galaxy S two textures just appear
white. The Cha Cha throws this error while loading textures

02-04 15:46:28.907: E/Adreno200-ES20(1501): override1= 0xfffe,
override2= 0xfff *

Oddly if the Cha Cha is locked (OpenGL textures are destroyed) and
then unlocked (reloaded textures) the particular textures that were
not there initally are now, however different textures are now not
visable.

Is this a memory issue? If so is there a way around this?

Thanks

[android-developers] voice input for people with tremors (or large fingers)

[James Hadley]

Hi all,

The microphone "button" on all Android "keyboards"  that I've seen are
too small for people with tremors or large fingers.

My brother has tremors and was trying to use several of the Android
phones with the largest screens.

Using Google Mobile's Voice Actions app, he could easily open gmail
and then "compose new message".

But, to start using the voice input (which works well) he has to press
a tiny mic button, using either the QWERTY or Compact QWERTY input
method keyboard types.

This stopped him cold every time.

All that is needed is an Android keyboard with a really large mic
button.  Everything else needed for people with tremors or large
fingers comes standard with Android phones, for example: Voice Actions
and voice input.

Things we tried that didn't work:
  -  Eyes-Free Keyboard
  -  FlexT9 app (from nuance.com)
Both of these have the same issue as the QWERTY or Compact QWERTY
standard Android keyboards -- the mic buttons are too small.

Suggestions?  We'd happily give an award to anyone that makes a
keyboard to fix this!

Cheers,
JH

[android-developers] License for open source Android project

[Peter Liu]

Hi,

Anyone know if there is an open source license that prohibits people
from republishing an app?

I am the author of an open source library called AndroidQuery, and we
have a demo app that has many users using it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidquery.simplefeed

We want to open source this app, but don't want people to grab the
source code and dump it to the Android market with Ads. I understand
there's no way to actually stop people from doing that, but we want to
at least state that in the license:  that you can't republish it.

Any suggestion on a suitable license or how we can create a new
license out of the existing ones?

Thanks.

Those are also the sizes, Android Asset studio generates.

The newly announced design guide, says 32x32dp, which is 32px for mdpi,
48px for hdpi, etc (as above).

I can't be sure, but 32/48/64 are the icon sizes in the actual ICS
source tree, so those should be the correct ones.

[android-developers] bindService fails when startService called in previous activity

[James Black]

I am not certain how to resolve this, but in one Activity I call
startService, and then immediately call to start the next Activity:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(mContext, MyService.class);
  myIntent.putExtra("data1", data1Array);
  myIntent.putExtra("data2", data2Array);
  myIntent.putExtra("names", namesList.toArray(new String[0]));
  startService(myIntent);   // <== This works, the service starts,
begins to process the data

  Intent intent = new Intent();
  myIntent.putExtra("data1", data1Array);
  myIntent.putExtra("data2", data2Array);
  myIntent.putExtra("names", namesList.toArray(new String[0]));

intent.setClassName(
"my.package",
"my.package.SecondActivity");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);  // <== This works, goes to the next activity

This works, the service starts, and begins to process the data as expected.

This works, so I am now in the new Activity, and want to connect to my
Service so I can get data from the callback interface.

So I have this in the second Activity:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (bindService(new Intent(IMyService.class.getName()),
mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE)) {
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Bound to service succeeded",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Bound to service failed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

And this fails.

So, if the service is already running, how do I connect to this service so
I can get the updates?

IMyService is created by using a .aidl file, btw.

I have never seen a photo app with such a feature. The best result
I've seen so far is in Color Efex Pro from Nik Software, but their
filter mostly works on local contrast.

I fully support your project, I am still looking for a photo app on
Android that would make me happy. I was thinking of writing my own
but... :)

[android-developers] Action Bar icon sizes?

[Zsolt Vasvari]

I guess Google cannot get the story straight:


The doc says that the Action Bar icon sizes should be 24, 32, 48
square pixels for MDPI, HDPI and XHDPI, repsectively:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_action_bar.html


But the icon pack ( 
http://developer.android.com/design/static/download/action_bar_icons-v4.0.zip
) has them as 32, 48 and 64 pixels and the LINT gives warning on those
sizes.


Which one is correct?

[android-developers] Re: getApplicationContext() returns null?

[Zsolt Vasvari]

Well, the unbind() call that threw the "Service not registered" was
originally bound to from a WakefulIntentService, not an Activity.

I bound to the service in doWakefulWork() and unbind() in onDestroy()
as well as when I am done with the service.

Basically I have a cleanup() method which looks like this:

public synchronized void cleanup(Context context)
{
  if (this.serviceConnection != null)
  {
 
context.getApplicationContext().unbindService(this.serviceConnection);//
Used to be just context.unbindService()
this.serviceConnection = null;
  }
}

I've never even once since this error when I used to use
getApplicationContext() and now that I switched to just the
WakefulIntentService Context, I got it twice -- once myself and once
by a guy who's testing for me.

I am now back to using the Application Context, thought I don't
understand still why I have to.  After all, the Service Context should
remain the same throughout the lifecycle of the Service.

:-)

Ok, yeah, of course, I do know what a polarizing filter is for.  :-)
I've got a few of them in my camera bag (and have had, for about
30 years).  :-)

What I don't know is if, perhaps, there was already a software
implementation (something that might detect glare similar to how an echo
canceller in voice telephony detects an echo in the outgoing audio and
injects the same signal, 180 deg. out of phase, to cancel it out) in
Mediastore or in Camera that I missed.  No, I wouldn't try to implement a
polarizer myself...but if I missed that as existing library code.  So
I gather that I didn't miss it...it just isn't there (which I expected,
but had to at least ask).

What about a star filter or (and this is another one that I REALLY expect
the answer to be no for) a diffraction filter (maybe somehow simulating
the effects of a difraction grating via software...if that's even
possible)?  I did see at least one example (Google search) of a
software-based star filter, but not for Android apps.

My goal here is to develop a camera app with the best combination of ease
of use and features I can manage.  If some 35mm filters can't be done in
software, oh well.  That's why we still use film for some projects (I
still love Kodak Ektar Pro 100 film...personal opinion, of course, not
employed by Kodak...or anyone, for that matter, thanks to cancer #1
putting me right out of the job market).

Right now, though, as I said, I'm spending enough time to (hopefully)
work through one chapter of the book[1] per day, and then fish on Google
and in the dev guide for links to references I can use when I actually
start on the app.  In this case, I'm here because I didn't find them, and
I'm hoping that I just missed something for at least one of these filter
types.  :-)

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Problem loading HTML file from android_asset in Browser

[Streets Of Boston]

You already solved your problem by using a WebView instead of the Browser 
app.

I found the same issue:
You cannot launch an external browser (the Browser app at least) using an 
Intent for a URL with the "file:" scheme. I guess it's a security issue. 
You can type into the browser a "file://" URL manually, but the Browser 
app's Intents won't allow you to launch it with such a URL.

Re: [android-developers] camera: can I create star, diffraction (etc.) filters?

[Romain Guy]

Emulating a polarizing filter properly will be very difficult. One of
the most obvious effects of polarizing filters is increased contrast
and color saturation. Polarizing filters are also used to reduce or
eliminate various reflections in a scene: light bouncing of leaves,
reflections in the water, etc.

[android-developers] camera: can I create star, diffraction (etc.) filters?

[Jim Graham]

I've got a long way to go (several chapters in the book I'm reading,
at least) before I get to this, but right now, I'm just collecting
info.

I'm hoping to build a new camera app, with lots of extended capabilities.
One thing I really want to add is support for photographic filters (like
those you might attach on the lens for a 35mm camera).  The simpler
filters should (I think...) be easy enough...but there are a few that I'm
not so sure about (or even if they can be done at all):

   1) star filters
   2) diffraction filters
   3) polarizing filters

If anyone has any information on implementing these filters, I would
appreciate any links to the docs.

Thanks,

"Have to" is a strong term. However, particularly for activities that you:

-- want to have access to a bound service, and
-- want to allow Android to destroy and recreate on a configuration change

then binding from Application is a good idea.

[android-developers] SDK Manager won't launch

Hello Android developpers,

since several days, when I try to launch the SDK manager, I get the
following set of error messages:

Fetching https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-1.xml
Failed to fetch URL 
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-1.xml,

The network is running, correctly, I can access those URL's easily
with any Internet browser.

Uninstall-reinstall the SDK Manager does not fix the problem.

Is there a way to trace what the SDK manager does ?

Any help welcome, thanx in advance.

2) download eclipse
3) download adt plugin for android and add plugin in eclipse
4) download android sdk and add its location in eclipse android plugin

for the whole process just search in google and you android.com is the site
where you will get all the things and also videos are available for each

Re: [android-developers] Developer Options on Galaxy Nexus!?

[Kristopher Micinski]

I guess the answer is that you can't control what people will put in their
firmware.

But if your users complain to you about the developer options, they're
dumb, and I'd hope that this is the minority of people using your app.

Obviously "they're dumb" doesn't help you all that much in terms of
ratings, etc.., however, :(

lots of confusion and problems with my users (as the FORCE CPU
RENDERING) do not work with my app (and as i heard from lots of other

Re: [android-developers] please help to replace lock screen theme

[Kristopher Micinski]

Trust me...  you can't do this...

I've been through the SDK, so have many other people on the list,
especially Mr. Murphy (one of the people answering the posts on SO).  If
there had been a way to do it, he would have told you.

Re: [android-developers] Lock screen customization

[Raghav Sood]

The other possibility has already been mentioned to you by Ibendlin. You
can either replace the entire lockscreen, which the majority of the users
will hate, or you can extend Android at the firmware level, in which case
you will have a very limited reach.

Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Supporting Galaxy Note Issues Due To It Displaying Itself as a LARGE screen layout.

are you sure about this?

I never actually tried but I think that if you target a later version 
(say Android 4.0.3) you can define your resources, layouts and so on 
with the 4.0.3 specification, that allow you dpi differentiation.


Device that don't support it should just ignore them.

As I told you, I never tried but I would be surprised if it doesn't work 
this way.



and the Galaxy note is 2.3.5 I believe.


if my supposition is right the Galaxy note will ignore the dpi 
differentiation but you may be able to differentiate by using large + 
xlarge + dpi


let us know if you try it out,

The exact qualifiers (-1280x800) were deprecated some time ago.

[albnok]

Er... since when could we do that? As far as I know the exact
qualifiers only came about in Android 3.2.

layout-large-port-xhdpi-1280x800

I am thinking layout-large-port-xhdpi would make sense, though.

I also want to target the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" specifically, but
there isn't a better way besides doing layout-large-hdpi which will
sabotage future devices.

Meanwhile I would have to say that from an app statistics, these two
devices are actually at the top of the installs... and in fact, I
doubt there would truly be a layout-large-hdpi device that is anywhere
as popular as these two.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Newly installed widgets are not runnable on Honeycomb

[Mark Murphy]

2012/2/4 David Ross :
> Why change working behaviour?

In this case, to help stop drive-by malware. Android has long had a
"nothing runs until the user runs it" approach, which is why there is
no on-install code you can have run. Developers were getting past that
by registering for system broadcasts -- Lookout's Plan B app
registered for just about all of them IIRC. As a result, malware
taking the same approach could automatically get control, albeit after
some delay.

Now, you can argue that they took a shotgun approach to the problem,
wiping out app widgets along the way. IMHO, app widgets should still
show up, despite this "stopped" status, and if the user elects to
install an app widget, it should move the app out of the "stopped"
state.

The 4.x WVGA emulator should run approximately as quickly as the
Android 2.3 emulator. It's the tablet screen sizes that are the
problem, much more so than the Android version.

Ask questions, and let those of us who have crawled on the broken
glass already help point out, "Yo! There's broken glass down here!
And, um, by the way, do you have any disinfectant, and maybe some
bandages?"

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6737760/android-lockscreen-tutorial


 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5529608/android-how-to-develop-custom-lock-screen

 Basically the answer is: don't do this.  If you do this, your app is
 basically, violating a security hole in the android system.  The behavior
 that older "lock screen" apps use is not good practice, and will be (if it
 has not already been) removed from the API so your app will cease to work.

 Perhaps you think "but my app is special."

 Answer: no, it's not.

 Perhaps you think "but only I will ever use my app, so I don't mind if
 it breaks good coding practices, might be removed from the market for
 violating security practices (highly unlikely..), and uses now considered
 deprecated pieces of the API."  Well, then perhaps the answer is to go
 right ahead.

 In general if you're wanting to modify the behavior of the *system*,
 you can't do it with an app.
