Re: [android-developers] Re: Memory management issue - outOfMemory exception

2012-03-31 Thread Zsolt Vasvari
A ScrollView can only contain ONE child view.  So no, it's not possible 
with View based objects.  You could implement some kind of caching , but 
when you go through all that trouble, you will realize that it's easier to 
just use a ListView.

Since the GNex just had Android 4.0.4 released 2 days ago, you may want to

So does 4.0.4 fixes the issue?  If yes, I think you cannot say that Google 
hadn't acted in a reasonable amount of time.

I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, and you are the first time I've 
even heard of the issue, not alone experienced it.  Then again, I don't 
really do heavy gaming on it.

*Why* are you using a ScrollView instead of a ListView? A ListView
with all disabled rows should be indistinguishable from a ScrollView
to the user (off the top of my head), and it gives you the ability to
recycle your views.

I have made a UI that has images with varying heights, but constant width,
added to each inner linearLayout (having vertical orientation). This way, I
am able to add images without spaces occuring due to different heights.
Using a listView that has 3 images of different heights added horizontally
in a row, I will get empty spaces in a row, and I want to avoid them. So
listView would not serve the purpose.

If you have three images of varying heights in a horizontal row, you
will get empty spaces in a row, regardless of whether the row is in
a ListView or a ScrollView or anything else.

You appear to be comparing apples (three images in a vertical
LinearLayout) with oranges (three images in a horizontal LinearLayout
in a ListView row).

Regardless, ScrollView does not offer much that will help you in the
way of trying to hack in a recycling model. Whether you use an
existing AdapterView (e.g., ListView) or roll your own, I suspect that
is your clearest path to a solution.

Hi Softy,
I need to change the stock audio.primary.exynos4.so from /system/lib/hw 
folder with a modified version, obviously on rooted device and after the 
user authorize it.
I don't know really how to get the root permission and proceed with the 
copy (probably using adb shell).
Thank you in advance,

Re: [android-developers] Sleep mode

2012-03-31 Thread Put_tiMe
On some devices, like the Sony Erricson Experia, if I long press the power 
button, I get a UI menu, with a sleep mode option.
 
What would be the difference between that sleep mode and the screen-off 
sleep mode?
 
 
On screen-off, i.e. when it hits the sleep mode, are the wifi radios and 
CPU disabled/switched-off?

 Is it only via the UI interface by long pressing the Screen On button?
  
 Or does it reach automatically goto sleep mode after X minutes after

Nothing. That option is in the menu in case you accidentally
long-pressed the power button instead just pressing it.

 On screen-off, i.e. when it hits the sleep mode, are the wifi radios and CPU
 disabled/switched-off?

The CPU stops running.

WiFi behavior will vary by device and user preference. This was
discussed recently:

Ciao Giuseppe,

I recently found this library with various root utilities:

I've never tried it but it looks promising.

In their wiki you can find examples on how to run shell commands (

[android-developers] Re: Hello Everyone, i have a small Question.about Text_to_Speech activity.

2012-03-31 Thread Soyer
Hello Anirudh,

the thing is that i am using two activities, so the string  is getting
dispatched from the first activity...the string is an array list but
since for some reason, the list is not getting carried to the second
activity and used in the TTS method i converted the array list to a
string by using the method tostring().


so basically my problem would be solved if i know why the array list
has to be converted to a string before getting dispatched...


the part of my code which dispatch the string form the first activity
to the second is :

  if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
// Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
BluetoothDevice device =
intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
// If it's already paired, skip it, because it's been
listed already
if (device.getBondState() !=
BluetoothDevice.BOND_BONDED) {
mNewDevicesArrayAdapter.add(device.getName());
x=device.getName();


fromLat.add(x);


}
// When discovery is finished, change the Activity title
} else if
(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
setTitle(R.string.Scanning_is_Over);


Bundle bundle = new Bundle(1);
String b=fromLat.toString();

bundle.putString(fromLat,b);
Intent intent1=new
Intent(AllthepiecesActivity.this,ttsActivity.class);
intent1.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent1);
   startActivityForResult(intent1, 2);


and the TTS code is:

Bundle extras = this.getIntent().getExtras();
 final String fLat=extras.getString(fromLat);
 inputText.setText(fLat);

and



  if (text!=null  text.length()0) {
   Toast.makeText(ttsActivity.this, Saying:  + text,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
  }
//to go to the first activity.
Intent i=new 
Intent(ttsActivity.this,AllthepiecesActivity.class);
startActivity(i);

Re: [android-developers] open application through hold-pressing home key will unregister the user then again register the user

2012-03-31 Thread hoomi2010
If you click on home button from your application your in the activity which is 
in foreground onStop() method is called. When from long press on home button or 
recent button you go back to the activity onRestart() and then onStart() is 
called.

If you close the app (using the back button) and start the app from the long 
press on the home button or recent button it will go to onCreate().

If you want to avoid registering and unregistering the user when the user 
clicks on the home button from activity you should place the code for 
registering in OnCreate and unregistering in onDestroy.

I hope that it helped

[android-developers] Your Most Common Errors

2012-03-31 Thread Raghav Sood
Hi all,

I'm working on compiling a list of the commonly faced Android errors, and
how to solve them. I sincerely doubt I've encountered all of them
personally, hence this post. Which are the errors that you have faced most
commonly, and how did you solve them? Please reply to this thread, it'll
only take a few minutes. Hopefully, in the future people can refer here for
solutions of some of the errors at least. Errors related to Eclipse problem
are also welcome. This is not for an assignment or something like that.
Android isn't even remotely part of my school syllabus.

I would bet that the #1 most common problem is my R is screwed up.
Symptoms include findViewById() returning something unexpected (e.g.,
a LinearLayout where you expected a Button). Solution is to clean the
project (Project  Clean from Eclipse or ant clean from the command
line).

Another historically common one -- though I haven't seen it pop up in
a while -- is when I scroll, my list rows have random data in them.
This is usually caused by a flawed implementation of getView() on an
ArrayAdapter, such as calling findViewById() on the Activity, not the
to-be-customized row, and therefore getting the wrong widget. Solution
is to debug getView().

You might consider poking through StackOverflow, where we have 162,493
questions cataloged with the android tag, most with answers. You can
find those that have the most up-votes (meaning people thought they
were good questions and should roughly correlate with problems people

[android-developers] Prevent a click from being consumed, to pass to containers onTouchEvent

2012-03-31 Thread momo
I've got a container that allows 2-d scrolling, fling, pinch etc.  This has 
several layers within it - a viewgroup for image tiles, another for path 
drawing, another for markers, etc.

This all works fine.  However, in one particular implementation I have 
several invisible buttons to indicate hotspots (which are basically 
ImageViews with transparent backgrounds).  When tapped, an action occurs.

The problem is that with these hotspots (which cover a good deal of the 
entire area), the touch event is consumed and not passed to the container's 
TouchEvent, so the container does not scroll.

My first attempt was to create a custom view for the hotspots, and override 
onTouchEvent, returning false on ACTION_DOWN and true on ACTION_UP (so the 
event fires when the finger goes up, which is fine).  However, it seems 
that when returning false on ACTION_DOWN prevents ACTION_UP from ever 
firing.

I also tried overriding onInterceptTouchEvent on the scrolling container, 
and stealing the ACTION_DOWN event from child views - this had the same 
result.

How can I continue to drag the container (whether or not the down event 
happened on a hotspot/child view), and react on ACTION_UP when a hotspot is 
clicked?

Re: [android-developers] Prevent a click from being consumed, to pass to containers onTouchEvent

2012-03-31 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

Take a look at ScrollView or AbsListView:

https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/widget/ScrollView.java#L438

The basic idea is to override onInterceptTouchEvent, consume the initial 
ACTION_DOWN and then figure out if the user is trying to 
scroll/fling/zoom or not.


In the latter case, onInterceptTouchEvent should eventually (for some 
subsequent event) return false, thus enabling the user to interact with 
child views.

Thanks for the reply.  Imagine that over 75% of the scrollable area was 
covered by these hotspots - I need the ACTION_DOWN to return true so that 
the click event does fire when the finger goes up (on that same child 
view), but *also* pass the event to the scrolling container's onTouchEvent 
- so it's not really a question of either/or, but rather do both.  The 
catch-22 here seems to be that if I return true, the event is consumed, and 
therefore not passed to the container.  If I return false, the event is not 
consumed, so the container does scroll, but when the finger goes up no 
event fires.

In looking at the source you linked, it looks like they're intercepting 
ACTION_DOWN only if it's currently flinging, so I'm not sure how they get 
it to work...

[android-developers] Will we ever be allowed to make custom widget pickers?

2012-03-31 Thread Tim
...or at least have something slightly nicer than the simple list in
gingerbread.

Currently there is no way to avoid using the built in widget selection
UI (the list of widgets you get in gingerbread when you add a widget).
This kind of sucks because it means you can't have anything like the
ICS launcher's widget page.

Are there any plans to ever fix this? I'd bet on no since it isn't a
problem for Google (since their launcher is included with the system
and can do what it likes). Here are some ways you could fix this
without compromising security:

1. Add an optional Are you sure you wish to add widgetname?
activity, so you can at least have a custom-picker-with-confirmation.
2. Have something like flashblock, so you have to click the widgets
before they are shown. (I don't know if there is a way to send
synthetic clicks though?)
3. Just allow the damn permission and call it Access any of your data
from any of your apps. or something scary sounding. After all, isn't
the point of the permission system that you *can* do dangerous things?
The original justification for denying custom widget pickers is:

 Widgets can expose a lot of private data of all types, so it is not safe
 to allow an application to arbitrarily bind to them without the user 
 implicitly approving

Well in that case, why are apps allowed the read SD card permission?
That can expose a lot of private data of all types...

Sorry for the slightly-ranting-ness. I'm just annoyed that this makes
it impossible for my to have the stock ICS launcher on ICS. Mostly I'm
annoyed at Samsung. They suck.

have a look at the HTML produced by your app. Most likely it's making an

Re: [android-developers] 3D Charts

This is a fairly broad area, it would be helpful if you could narrow it down.

Basically, you need to connect to a server to get the data, or get it from 
sensors.

Then, use OpenGL to draw the graph.

[android-developers] Has ListView been modified in the latest SDK?

2012-03-31 Thread Jim Graham
I'm looking at two of my apps, both with a ListView, and for both, the
ListView is defined/described (whatever you want to call it) the same
in both XML and in Java (variable names and resource IDs excepted, of
course).

Here's the catch:  in the first, and older app, touching anywhere on the
bar for an item in the Listview would select that item.  In the newer
app, with the current SDK, *ONLY* touching the area enclosing the text
will select that item.

Both use the same Adapter settings, a similar setOnItemClick method
(nothing that sets anything in/for the ListView), and neither has any
special options set.  Just the defaults.

Does anyone know if the SDK includes changes in ListViews that might
account for this?  (I didn't spot anything in the dev guide, but I
could easily have missed it.)  I really don't like this new behavior,
whatever is causing it

Thanks,
   --jim

Re: [android-developers] ListView and Database

2012-03-31 Thread Ted Scott

Hi Ricardo,

First, I'm sure others will chime in if this is bad advice, but my 
understanding is that it is better to use the compatibility package and 
cursor loaders and a load manager. See 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorAdapter.html 
and the base CursorAdapter.


That said, from is simply a list of columns in the PROJECTION exposed by 
the cursor that are of interest to the ListView ids in the to array. 
This is in order of the two arrays such that the data from from[x] is 
passed to the view with the id in to[x].


Given the list view row definition:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
  android:layout_width=fill_parent
  android:layout_height=34dp
  android:gravity=bottom
  android:orientation=horizontal

TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:id=@+id/foo
android:layout_width=100dp
android:layout_height=30dp
android:textSize=16dp
android:gravity=center_vertical
android:paddingLeft=5dip
android:singleLine=true
/
TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:id=@+id/bar
android:layout_width=50dp
android:layout_height=30dp
android:textSize=20dp
android:gravity=right|center_vertical
android:paddingLeft=5dip
android:singleLine=true
/
/LinearLayout

And assuming that you have column1 and column2 in your cursor's 
projection, and want to map the contents of column1 to the textview foo 
and column2 to textview bar, from and to would be defined something like:


String[] from =  new String[] { column1 , coulmn2};
int[] to   = new int[] { R.id.foo , R.id.bar };

Clear as mud?

No, not at all. Just reset the gravity of only the TextView in code. You
need not to reset the gravity of all of them, as you are facing the problem
only because of TextView's gravity.

The cause of issue might be that, your adview is being loaded dynamically,
hence you have to resolve the matter dynamically through code.
