[android-developers] Re: Display problems with Galaxy Notes?

[Terry]

Hi, Kostya.

You may be right.
The minSdkversion is set to 7 in the manifest.
I have started reading about compatibility mode, but it is a confusing
subject.
AND - I am unable to reproduce the incorrect screen display using any
of the Android tools I get find.
If you are right - and I try to disable compatibility mode, how can I
know if it will work or not - when it seems impossible to test it
without having the actual device?

Terry

[android-developers] CursorAdapter? or OtherAdapter?

[Build Account]

Hello,

If I have a cursor and need to display as a list through adapter,
then which adapter is best under below condition?

 The cursor have datas(of course).
But this cursor contains some of rows which should not be displayed.
For example, totally 10 records, but index 1, 4, 5, 8 should not be
displayed.
(Means, not sequentially sorted. and also cannot sort it by sort
order.).

With above cursor data,
how to filter out only available datas(which index 0, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9)
in adapter?

Any ideas or way to do???

[android-developers] Re: Android Beam demo on PC

[goodline]

Got the error fixed!

Refer to following post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1678122/must-override-a-superclass-method-errors-after-importing-a-project-into-eclips

Eclipse is defaulting to Java 1.5 and you have classes implementing
interface methods (which in Java 1.6 can be annotated with @Override,
but in Java 1.5 can only be applied to methods overriding a superclass
method).

Go to your project/ide preferences and set the java compiler level to
1.6 and also make sure you select JRE 1.6 to execute your program from
eclipse.

With Eclipse Galileo you go to Eclipse -> Preferences menu item, then
select Java and Compiler in the dialog.

Now it still may show compiler compliance level at 1.6, yet you still
see this problem. So now select the link "Configure Project Specific
Settings..." and in there you'll see the project is set to 1.5, now
change this to 1.6. You'll need to do this for all affected projects.

This byzantine menu / dialog interface is typical of Eclipse's poor UI
design.

[android-developers] Re: reading pdf

[Indicator Veritatis]

Please do not post essentially the same question under slightly different 
titles. It tends to attract trolls. As for how to read a PDF file, please 
see the answer I gave in the other thread on that. Use the same tutorial, 
but look further down: you are looking at the part where he is teaching how 
to write files, look where he teaches how to read them.

[android-developers] Re: Failed to register input channel?

[Shrift]

I also experiencing this problem on my Nexus S 4g, but I am running 2.3.7. 
I am trying to write a simple live wallpaper, but it seems that this crash 
is happening when the preview live wallpaper gets cleaned up (I could 
totally be wrong, but that's what it seems like).

Interestingly the live wallpaper does actually work and assigns my 
wallpaper as you would expect. In my case the exception is being thrown for 
some reason after using the WallpaperManager class.

Please no comments about how wrong this code is... I am trying to reduce 
this down to the barest reproducible code bits, and I have also just 
started trying to make a live wallpaper an hour ago when I got hit with 
this issue.

If you want to duplicate the behavior, just point the relevant path to an 
image on your sdcard.

[android-developers] spinner style from 4.0.3 to 2.3.3

[Ray Tayek]

hi, i'm a newbie. i made this app for 4.0.3 that has some spinners an 
textviews. it looks fine - everything has a black background.


my target phone is a 2.3.3. spinner has grey/and white backgrounds. 
changing the background color works for the dropdown view and for the 
text view on the spinner, but not for the spinner itself. i belive 
this is because they us 9patches or something.


looking in the platforms file and doing some diffs (please see 
below), it seems that the most of the xml files are the same except 
for one small difference. also the level 15 api has some extra files.


is it possible to somehow make my app use these level 15 files (just 
for  the spinners) on a level 10 platform?


or is there a way to use a darker theme on the 2.3.3?

thanks

Can't you just ask the package manager if it's (already) installed ?  If 
not you fire off another view intent to begin a new installation attempt. 
 You can't force the user to agree, but then your app doesn't have to go 
beyond that point if they don't.

[android-developers] Re: Regarding apk installation programatically & getting callback for successful installation.

[Josh Brown]

There's the 
ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED
 broadcast 
you could use to see when it's installed.  I don't think there's one for if 
it was declined, but you could use some trickery in your onResume().  The 
only problem is if they hit the home button when the installer is showing 
and then somehow navigate back to your app in such a way that they can 
still get back to the installer.

[android-developers] Approved/recommended/best way to write to GENUINE external storage

[Qwerty]

There have been a few threads on the subject and I have not yet found a
good answer.

Is there a recommended way to identify a list of real *external* storage
media?

Like many people we need to export data to an sdcard so that users can
copy it, edit it, or use it elsewhere. And copy it back.

Short of embedding a file browser in every app, the current situation
seems untenable: we have manufacturers who make the internal sdcard
non-writiable when mounted on a PC, we have a variety of different mount
points that manufacturers use for external sdcards, and we have these
same manufacturers shipping phones with android 2.3 installed, so new
APIs are not likely to be all that useful unless that go into a
compatibility library as well.

Does anyone have a good solution to this?

[android-developers] Custom layout - why is behavior different when laying out a ViewGroup (vs View) as a child

[momo]

I've got a custom layout for positioning tooltips on a pan-n-zoom tiled map 
(also custom), in reaction to touch events. The tooltips should appear 
above and centered to the marker that fired it.

Everything works perfectly when using normal Views (ImageView, TextView) as 
children. However, when trying to use a ViewGroup (e.g., a RelativeLayout), 
the child does not appear at all.

I added some logging to onLayout, and it was reporting 0 for 
child.getMeasuredWidth()/Height(), so I extended RelativeLayout and 
overrode onMeasure in order to supply the correct dimensions. The 
dimensions are now logging correctly, but still the child ViewGroup does 
not appear. This doesn't seem like it's a necessary step in any case - I'd 
expect to be able to use layouts as children normally.

Why is there a difference? Why would a simple View appear and position 
exactly as expected, but child layouts fail to render at all?

Here's a summarized version of the custom layout:

public class TooltipLayout extends ViewGroup {

public TooltipLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
//...
}

@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
TooltipLayout.LayoutParams lp = 
(TooltipLayout.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
child.layout(lp.x, lp.y, lp.x + child.getMeasuredWidth(), 
lp.y + child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
}
}

public static class LayoutParams extends ViewGroup.LayoutParams {

public int x;
public int y;

public LayoutParams(int width, int height, int left, int top) {
super(width, height);
x = left;
y = top;
}
}
}

TYIA.

Yes, but did you add it to Eclipse as an Android library project
(http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html#ReferencingLibraryProject)?

Delete this, unless your "library" is really a firmware add-on that
you have built into custom firmware (in which case, you're outside the
scope of this list).

JARs don't have resources.

[android-developers] Re: AccountManager object on Archos 101 Tablet

[Peter]

I've got an e-mail with the tester to look up what version of the
Market app he has on the device in question.

There should be a Google account on the device, but I get the same
result whether I filter by account type or not. Since the app is using
in-app billing, I believe it will require a google account.

I suppose it's probably helpful to mention that I have the

[android-developers] Having a Problem using a Library in My Project

[Mark Phillips]

I have an Android project, which is a library. The project compiles and
works in an example project. However, the example project has the same
package name (but a separate project).

In my current project, which has a completely different package name, I am
trying to use the same library. I set up the current project as follows:
* the library project is in the eclipse build path as a project
* the manifest.xml file has this inside the application tag -
  
* I added these lines to the layout file for my activity:

I get the error in eclipse - error: Error: No resource found that matches
the given name (at 'style' with value '@style/ActionBar').

The ActionBar library has a syle.xml file with the ActionBar tag. I also
tried putting the ActionBar library as a jar in the build path, and I get
the same error.

What am I missing to include the ActionBar library in my current project?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: [android-developers] AccountManager object on Archos 101 Tablet

Does that device have the Android Market on it from the factory? I
know early ARCHOS tablets didn't, but I don't know if that one does.
If it does not, are you sure there's supposed to be a com.google
account?

[android-developers] AccountManager object on Archos 101 Tablet

[Peter]

Hi all,

I currently have an app I'm beta testing and one of the test users has
an Archos 101 tablet. I'm implementing an in-app store and one of the
things I need is the account name they're using. I have logic to
handle if they've got multiple accounts, but I seem to be getting only
a null result from this code:

public String[] getAccountList(Activity activity) {
int numAccounts= 0;
AccountManager accountManager =
AccountManager.get(activity);
Account[] accounts =
accountManager.getAccountsByType("com.google");
numAccounts= accounts.length;
if (numAccounts< 1) {
return null;
}
String[] accountList = new String[numAccounts];
int i = 0;
for (Account account : accounts) {
accountList[i] = account.name;
i++;
}
return accountList;
}

The accountManager.getAccountsByType() method keeps returning no
results (same goes for getAccounts), so it just returns null. Is there
a step I'm missing to allow my app to get account information on 2.2.x
devices? The code works fine on a Toshiba Thrive (AT100) and the in-
app store functions as I expect.

Thanks!

This sounds like the app getting displayed in compatibility mode.

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL es and min3d - textures only load on certain hardware and how to fix.

[Jim Andresakis]

Hey thanks for the reply :)

I figured out that it was on certain builds of android even when you have 
images that are in the power of two, once you pull them from a stream and 
pass them by reference some how theres a chance that they will be resized. 
I went through and made sure that anywhere I was making a copy by reference 
I used 

BitmapFactory.Options ops = new BitmapFactory.Options();
ops.inScaled = false;
And this prevents the system from messing with the images.

[android-developers] Re: positioning a view based on it's calculated dimensions

[momo]

the answer is to manage positioning by override onLayout of the containing 
ViewGroup, rather than the View itself.

E.g.,

@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
MyCustomLayout.LayoutParams lp = (MyCustomLayout.LayoutParams) 
child.getLayoutParams();
int w = child.getMeasuredWidth();
int h = child.getMeasuredHeight();
int x = lp.left - (int) (w / 2f);
int y = lp.top - h;
child.layout(x, y, x + w, y + h);
}
}
}

(note that the above example specifically is untested, but i've tested the 
basic premise and it works)

[android-developers] Any way to change one color to another on a bitmap?

[darrinps]

I have a bitmap and want to be able to change all black pixels to all
blue. I know you can do this via Bitmap.setPixel but that process is
extremely slow (believe me, I tried it).

Researching this is see where people recommend using PorterDuff Xor,
but there isn't any posts on how this was successfully done. Lots of
people asking...no one spelling out the answer.

So using, paint, bitmap, and canvas, how do you change every black
pixel to all blue ones?

Thanks!

Ah, that's an interesting point.

With classic broadcasts, the Intents get, um, parcelized (v.t., to
convert into Parcels). With LocalBroadcastManager, they are just
passed around. Hence, you have to be very careful that you do not
modify things that you put into the Intent, or explicitly copy them as
you are putting them in the Intent.

I have a section on LocalBroadcastManager in a book update coming out
shortly, and I'll add in more material on this.

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Passing ArrayList in BroadcastReceiver in Android

[tatebn]

As it turns out, I'm emptying that array after I send it off.  For
some reason the broadcast receiver is either using a reference to it,
so it gets the cleared one, or is sending after it's cleared.  Either
way, not clearing the array after allows it to show up correctly.

[android-developers] Re: Passing ArrayList in BroadcastReceiver in Android

[tatebn]

What's confusing to me is that it actually gets an ArrayList.
It's just been emptied out somehow.

Re: [android-developers] Prevent multiple copies of an Android service

[Alan Smith]

Thanks. I had my code in the  onHandleIntent()  method, so it was, as you
suggest, being executed on each call to startService. I've now got my code
in the onCreate method and things are moving forward.

Accidentally left that prefix in the code there.  That's not the issue

[android-developers] Re: Passing ArrayList in BroadcastReceiver in Android

[tatebn]

It's the intent in the broadcast receiver's onReceive message

/** Handler for content ids updated. */
private BroadcastReceiver mContentIdsUpdated = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
 Log.i(TAG, "received " +
intent.getStringArrayListExtra(Common.CDCUpdatedContentIdsKey).size()
+ " items in receiver"); // 0
 Log.i(TAG, "content ids updated in activity " +
intent.getStringArrayListExtra(Common.CDCUpdatedContentIdsKey));  //
empty array
 }

};


// In oncreate

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mContentIdsUpdated,
new 
IntentFilter(Common.ContentIdsUpdatedNotification));

I finally figured out what my problem was.  My data source was appending a

me.  So, even though I had my layouts set up like they were supposed to be 
(I'm not absolutely sure the one that I posted would have worked, but I

[android-developers] Re: spliting srings

[Kookamonga]

You mean you have accomplished the two individual tasks "reading from a 
file" and "splitting a string", but can't put them together?

I assume your  code is a loop, reading the file line by 
line, which you assign to a String variable. Why can't you just use your 
"split a string" code on this variable that was assigned to while reading 
from a file?

I guess I find it hard to believe that you've accomplished the two tasks 
separately yet can't put them together. What error do you receive when you 
try?

[android-developers] spliting srings

[leigh8347]

Hello

sorry for the simple and i guess basic question but how would i get
some lines ot text saved in a .txt file on a sd card.

then split the line and display word 1 and word 3. the words are
separated by commas.

i have spent a good few hours looking through google for the answer
but have not come up with any code that works.

i can read a file and display it
and i can split a string

but i cant seem to merge these two parts and get it to work

[android-developers] Passing ArrayList in BroadcastReceiver in Android

[tatebn]

I'm using LocalBroadcastManager to send data between classes. I'm
trying to send an ArrayList of String objects, 1 dimensional, in one
of them. The array has all my strings when I send it, but on the
receiving end it is empty. Has anyone seen this before? Here's my
code.

Send Message (I can print the array here and it has 5 items):

Intent updatedIdsIntent = new
Intent(Common.ContentIdsUpdatedNotification);
 
updatedIdsIntent.putStringArrayListExtra(Common.UpdatedContentIdsKey,
this.updatedContentIds);

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(ctx).sendBroadcast(updatedIdsIntent);


Retrieve Message (always empty):


Log.i(TAG, "content ids updated in activity " +
intent.getStringArrayListExtra(Common.UpdatedContentIdsKey));


Why are the items gone from the array in the broadcast receiver?

[android-developers] Android SQLite Example Project

[Bryan]

I have created an open source Google Android App, hosted on Google
Projects to help new Android Developers get up to speed with how to do
some various development tasks, and provide some reusable code that
all developers may use.

The Google Project URL is code.google.com/p/my-android-sqlite-example-
project/.

I am looking for some constructive feedback, suggestions on how
improve the code, to help ensure good solutions are being provided.

The audience for this project is intended to be software developers
who are new to developing Google Android Applications, and also for
those developers that are searching for a clean and simple
SQLiteOpenHelper Database Adapter implementation.

I have provided some documentation in the downloads section of this
project, to help you get started, including the full downloadable
Eclipse Android Project source file in a .ZIP file format, and an
executable Android .APK file, built from this project (refer to the
description for installation instructions).

The project consists of a simple list activity for demonstrating how
to do different things in Android, including: - A SQLiteOpenHelper
database adapter, how to properly open and close it, etc. - A custom
AlertDialog?.Builder message box - Logging messages, warnings, errors,
etc. - How to export SQLite database data - How to sort data through a
custom Preference Activity - How to clean up objects in onDestroy -
How to make menu icons - How to add animation to buttons - How to
create User Interfaces - How to use the string.xml file to populate
labels, text, etc. - How to create a date-select button - And more.

Have fun, this is meant to be educational, and constructive feedback
is appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Service Being paused on screen off.

[Chris Conry]

The issue is that the accelerometer sensor is turning off. So the listener
will not detect any changes while it is off. Your CPU isnt sleeping while
the screen is off, maybe slowing down to save power, but it will
not completely shut off. So a service running should still be running. The
best work around is on a kernel level, not really an app level.

Re: [android-developers] Odd issue involving hardware acceleration

[Ab]

thank you for the replies, I will do what you suggested with the UI.

Romain guy,

I use drawPicture to cache complex drawing commands.  The number of 
commands range from a few hundred drawing commands to a few hundred 
thousand.  I find the Picture object to be an efficient way to store these 
cached commands, and the drawPicture to be a responsive way of rendering 
them.  The Picture is particularly useful in my case because my app allows 
zooming and scrolling within the rendering; so I can easily just draw 
certain portions of the picture at certain scales using Canvas' clip and 
scale options. 

Any suggestions of how to use display lists for this purpose, or 
documentation on their uses?

Seems to me that you need either a Table, with two columns, or probably
even simpler, Three LinearLayouts:
- A root parent (horizontal)
- A left child for your inputs, with right gravity to move its children to
the right
- A right child for your labels

Some crude ascii art:

---
| |-|---| |
| | Input 1 | ___   | |
| |   Another Input | ___   | |
| |-|---| |

The 10.0.2.2 etc capabilities are unique to the emulator and not ordinarily 
shared by real devices.

The adb port forwards you were trying to use earlier do work on real 
devices, but you have to make the phone the server and the pc the client, 
ie, the PC can initiate a connection to the phone, but the phone cannot 
initiate a connection to the pc.  When using port forwards you do indeed 
use the loopback address, since you are actually contact a local port, 
which gets forwarded to a remote one by adb.

Various tether capabilities may enable this, or have the side effect of 
putting the phone and computer on a network segment.  Just be sure you 
don't accidentally route all the pc's network traffic through the phone's 
mobile network (unless you mean to)

In an attempt to be able to use the toLeftOf property, I created another

the same result.  This is kindof what I'm getting, now:

   Input 1:__

[bob]

I'm making a movieplayer for a specific Android tablet (not for Android 
market), and I want to make all 3 buttons non-functional.

The 3 buttons are

back
menu
home.

Menu is non-functional since I don't implement a menu.  I overrode 
onBackPressed() with an empty method to make the back button not function. 
 However, I can't figure out what to do about the home button.  Is there a 
way to take over this button?

The AlarmManager is not in your process. The AlarmManager object that
*is* in your process is merely a proxy to the real implementation that
resides in an OS process.

[android-developers] Memory allocation for a process, when the that application is not really active

[pop]

Hi,
I have a receiver which sets an alarm for 4hours. The code snippet is
below.

Intent myIntent = new Intent(context,XYZService.class);
myIntent.setAction("com.android.LavaDeviceTracker.SEND_SMS_SERVICE");
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0,myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 4*60*1000,
pendingIntent);

The receiver sets the alarm and stops. Until the 4 hours I mean until
the alarm goes off, believe there is no action is going on. Still I
can see chunks of 4-8 bytes getting allocated to the PSS and “shared
dirty” in Native and Other. (Dalvik allocation seems unchanged)
continuously. After probably 5-10minutes the PSS value becomes almost
static for “Native” but “other” usage keeps multiplying.
Does the Alarm Manager perform any action during this period? Due to
which the memory allocation keeps increasing?
Also when I tried using AlarmManager.RTC instead of
AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, the frequency of memory
allocation was considerably less.
Any idea on this?

Thanks.

That does not mean that there are multiple instances of the service.
onStartCommand() will be called for each startService() call, so if
your work is there (or, say, in onHandleIntent() of an IntentService),
N calls to startService() will result in N runs through your work.

Hi all,
I would like to do Windget, with dynamic strings (notActivityApplication!)

[android-developers] Re: TalkBack interactions with Android widgets

Finally, I managed it by mixing both Talkback(with the use
android:setcontentDescription for each widget) and text to speech
(android.speech.tts).

[android-developers] positioning a view based on it's calculated dimensions

[momo]

I've got a tiled pan-n-zoom component that uses several FrameLayouts to 
position image tiles (that scale), markers (that move, but don't scale) and 
controls (which neither move nor scale). It works fine.

Markers are positioned in a FrameLayout with topMargin and leftMargin. So 
far so good.

When a marker is touched, I need to open a little popup, at the same 
position as the marker that was touched *but offset by the dimensions of 
the popup*. That's to say that if the popup is 100 pixels wide and 50 
pixels tall, and the marker touched was at 800 x and 1100 y, the popup 
should be at 750 x (postion of marker minus half the width of the popup) 
and 1050 y (position of the marker minus the full height of the popup). The 
effect is like a tooltip - a little nub points down at the marker, etc. 
 the ideal logic would be "x position is layoutParams.leftMargin - 
(getWidth() / 2), y position is layoutParams.topMargin - getHeight() - but 
obviously that wouldn't work.

the popups should be in a separate layer (viewgroup) than the markers.

The popup dimensions are flexible, based on the text to be displayed, and 
need to be calculated.

Obviously the dimensions aren't available until after layout happens.  It 
looks like I can get the dimensions of the children during onLayout and the 
second pass of onMeasure, but if I update and re-assign LayoutParams (with 
modified top/leftMargins), during onLayout, sounds like an infinite loop. 
 I tried setting a flag so I could catch just the first pass, but this 
failed - I don't really expect this to be the right approach in any case.

I also tried getting the dimensions during onLayout, then in onDraw using 
canvas.translate(offsetX, offsetY), but this caused it to be "clipped" and 
drawn outside the available region.

What's the best way to get these dimensions and position these views 
accordingly?

(should mention that a RelativeLayout is not an option - the popups should 
be in a different viewgroup than the markers).

TYIA.

[android-developers] setTranslationX() and getX() on previous API

[Walter Bishop]

Howdy,

I've developed an application that uses setTranslationX() and getX()
methods that are only available after API 11. However, I discovered
that my app must support android 2.1 that is way back API 11. Is there
any chance that I can achieve the same result? How?


Thanks in advance,
Walter.

[android-developers] Memory leak and GC

[B.Arunkumar]

Hi,

I would like to post the same question I have done on android ndk
googlegroups. Please see this link:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_frm/thread/7bfffc2591ecb49b

Thank you,
B.Arunkumar

Hi,

  Thank you for your reply. The byte array we get is converted into a
Bitmap in Android and rendered on ImageView (The entire app is about
rendering H.264 Video from IP Caamera on Android mobile). Sometimes we
are running into memory leaks. I am not sure if this is the right
forum to ask this question but sometimes we get this message in the
logcat on the OnDestory of Activity class:

E/WindowManager( 9859): Activity
com.example.OnVRViewer.AsyncRecordTrial has leaked window
com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@405aeeb8 that
was originally added here

Method)

This error appears once in 30 times on testing and sometimes results
in a crash (the alert dialog is dismissed and it appears this is not
the error and is due to some other problem).

My question is this byte array coversion could be the problem?
sometimes not properly GC'ed or something of that sort??

Thank you,
B.Arunkumar

[android-developers] Re: draw texture in OpenGL Android from 0,0 coordinates

[Rikki]

Thanks for the reply. I did the same thing but its getting difficult
to manage the coordinates in floating points. Is there a way out to
use the absolute screen coordinates in OpenGL? if so can you provide
with some example to do it.

Re: [android-developers] stopping a thread after particular time.

[Chalavadi Sagar]

you can asynctask just extend your class with asynctask ,check the
condition(if it finds any location then return true there) in the
doinbackground() method of asynctask  and then dismiss the progressbar in
postexecute()method of asynctask.

[android-developers] Re: Please guide me how to send data(datastream, not files) from a PC to a real android phone via USB.

[vvis]

Thanks to your advice, I made it at last.

//While on the  Simulator use "10.0.2.2" it works

That is,
when I tried to send data stream from Simulator to PC, as PC's address
being 10.0.2.2, the PC can receive data stream from
Simulator(10.0.2.2). I just guess there is somewhat THREAD running on
the Simulator.

And you said that I should setup a network between the PC and the
android phone, I tried the Internet Tethering. And now, it works!

I don't get what is reverse tethering yet, but I will go in deeper
steps.

PS: ag means I will try again.
