Why not use Java, eclipse SDK, sqlite?  (*mysql is way better than sqlite, 
but sqlite seems more direct for apps)

[android-developers] Re: sdk version Compatibility

Not sure why my posts are not saving, but I have an app that is hitting the 
same problem with 4.0.4 for one of my users.   The app launches, the splash 
screen shows, then the program crashes and locks up the device.  No user 
errors or stack trace is loaded to my developer console.

I have no way to test this, as the emulator and my eclipse sdk only have 
4.0.3 installed, and I cannot seem to find anything specific to 4.0.4.


Any advice??

[android-developers] Fragments, removing only 1 item from the backstack.

2012-07-15 Thread Niffy Shibby

I have a problem of managing fragments. (Using Support Package, revision 9 
(June 2012))

I have an activity with 2 fragments on the screen. If I add fragment A, 
then add Fragment B, then destroy fragment A Fragment B is also destroyed.

I'm managing fragments this way (there is the begin and commit lines)

*add*
ft.add(location, fragment, tag);
ft.addToBackStack(tag);

*Remove*
this.mFragmentManager.popBackStack(tag,FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
ft.remove(fragment);

This works quite well, my back stack gets cleaned, bar this little quirk. 
I've no idea how I can simply remove a single fragment from the backstack, 
as popping the backstack removes everything below that fragment. Any ideas 
or am I'm just being thick?

[android-developers] Device unable to read USSD Code

2012-07-15 Thread ghostofparta

Hello everyone, 
I have a problem with my phone, a Motorola XPRT, running on Android 2.2 
Froyo; I just received it and I'm using it on a GSM network, everything 
works fine except the USSD Codes. When I dial any USSD Code the phone 
displays USSD Running then IMEI Canceled. I contacted Motorola but they 
know shit about this. I used my SIM card on another phone and USSD Codes 
work fine. So the problem comes from the phone. Is there any software 
manipulation I can make in order to fix this problem?

[android-developers] Re: sdk version Compatibility

I have a user reporting the same behavior with 4.0.4.   There are no errors 
listsed on my site, and he says that there are no errors or exceptions, the 
program just quits.
I downloaded your app today but it doesn't work on my phone. I've got a 
new galaxy s 3. The app shows the splash screen then goes black and locks 
up my phone.

  Is there any eclipse sdk release so that I can test on an emulator?

Any known issues with 4.0.4??
Thanks

Re: [android-developers] ScrollView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true) doens't work

2012-07-15 Thread Romain Guy

ScrollView only supports vertical scrolling as documented. If you want
horizontal scrolling you need to use HorizontalScrollView.


On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 6:39 PM, Dean Schulze dean.w.schu...@gmail.comwrote:

 I have a ScrollView which scrolls vertically when I add enough rows to the

 is no horizontal scrolling or scrollbar, however.  The JavaDocs don't
 mention that anything else has to be done to enable horizontal scrolling.

 Is this a bug, or is it a case of undocumented dependencies in order to
 get horizontal scrolling to work?

[android-developers] Memory issues in list view with bitmaps

What is the best way to handle a very long list view with bitmaps in a low 
memory device? I'm getting crashes after I scroll a bit... I don't want to 
loose image quality... I was thinking about loading only the number of 
items which is possible for the available memory, but this is obviously a 
bad solution. Do I have to recycle manually the bitmaps, in getView(), 
according to the position...? Is this the way to handle this?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Emulator hardware keyboard mapping table?

2012-07-15 Thread Jonas Petersson


Hi all,

Now that the emulator seemingly supports using the computer's physical 
keyboard in a more generic way, I have experimented a bit to try to get 
it to fully work. Specifically, I'd like to enter the åäöÅÄÖ characters 
without having to longpress A or O to get the popup menu and some 
fiddling seems to indicate that this should be possible: Under Physical 
keyboard int he emulator I can select Swedish - Android keybard which 
for some reason has the title qwerty2 - it indicates that pressing 
Ctrl-Space should toggle between those that I've enabled, that doesn't 
work, but is no big deal really.


However, it seems that the mapping table is broken since when I press 
 I get ; and shifted , gives me ö while ' gives me ä. 
Interestingly, if I switch my keyboard mapping of my laptop to be 
standard English US, the emulator will indeed generate the correct 
Swedish keys! (Well, not quite 100%, but all the important ones anyway)


This is OK as a workaround, but I'd say it is on the inconvenient side. 
Is there any way I can create a correct mapping table? The emulator 
-keyset help file was the closest thing I could come up with, but it 
seems to work on a different level. I'm happy to experiment and provide 
whatever I find out back to the sources as long as I can get a pointer 
to where I should start...


BTW: I'm on Linux (Ubuntu) in case that makes any difference.

Many thanks in advance / Jonas

[android-developers] Strange memory consumption numbers on the emulator

I made a test about memory comsumption loading bitmaps. It runs fine on a 
device - it doesn't occupy even 2 mb, but on the emulator it soon occupies 
20 mb.

Both the device and the emulator have resolution 480 x 800 and both are 
running Android 2.3.3. In both cases, I also outputted the dimenstions of 
the loaded bitmaps, and they are the same - 640 x 588.

This is the test class:

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

ImageView imageView;
 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
 showDeviceResolution();
 Log.d(memory, stats before view);
showMemoryStats();
 setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);
 Log.d(memory, stats after view);
showMemoryStats();
 imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image);
 }
 @Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
Log.d(memory, stats before animation);
showMemoryStats();
 initTest();
 super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
}
 private void initTest() { 
Drawable b1 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b1);
Log.d(test, bitmap1 dim:  + ((BitmapDrawable)b1).getBitmap().getWidth() 
+  x  + ((BitmapDrawable)b1).getBitmap().getHeight());
imageView.setImageDrawable(b1);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b2 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b2);
Log.d(test, bitmap2 dim:  + ((BitmapDrawable)b2).getBitmap().getWidth() 
+  x  + ((BitmapDrawable)b2).getBitmap().getHeight());
imageView.setImageDrawable(b2);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b3 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b3);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b3);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b4 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b4);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b4);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b5 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b5);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b5);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b6 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b6);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b6);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b7 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b7);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b7);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b8 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b8);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b8);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b9 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b9);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b9);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b10 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b10);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b10);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b11 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b11);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b11);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b12 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b12);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b12);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b13 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b13);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b13);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b14 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b14);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b14);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b15 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b15);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b15);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b16 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b16);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b16);
showMemoryStats();
Drawable b17 = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.b17);
imageView.setImageDrawable(b17);
showMemoryStats();
}
 public static void showMemoryStats() {
double nativeUsage = Debug.getNativeHeapAllocatedSize(); 
Log.i(memory, nativeUsage:  + (nativeUsage / 1048576d));
}
 public void showDeviceResolution() {
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
String str = resolution:  + dm.widthPixels +  x  + dm.heightPixels;
Log.d(memory, resolution:  + str);
}
}

On the device the native usage increments only a bit each time, and as said 
at the end is still under 2mb, on the other side the emulator loads more 
than 1mb each time and at the end runs out of memory, because it loaded 
more than 20mb...

Can somebody explain me what's going on here...

[android-developers] JUnit, TouchUtils, DragDrop and INJECT_EVENTS permission

2012-07-15 Thread Alex Stockinger

Hi all,

I am having serious trouble JUnit testing an Activity that uses the API 
Level 11+ DragDrop Framework.

I am using TouchUtils.dragViewTo() to emulate a drag that in turn causes 
the Activity under test to start a drag using the API Level 11+ call 
View.startDrag()

The test aborts with a security exception that states that INJECT_EVENTS 
permission is required. The log entry before the exception also gives a 
hint as to why this happend:
07-15 13:38:38.121: W/InputDispatcher(204): Permission denied: injecting 
event from pid 4064 uid 10061 to window drag owned by uid 1000

I also tried sending the events directly (using Instrumentation) instead of 
using TouchUtils. It turns out the exception is thrown on the first MOVE 
type motion event - the DOWN before the move works successfully.

This brings me to an assumption: Does the new DragDrop framework somehow 
use a window above the current activity to perform the drag action? Is this 
window owned by another process than the currently running one? This would 
at least explain why my tests are failing...

Is there a way to fix this and have my tests work properly under these 
circumstances? Or am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Alex

[android-developers] Facebook clipping my share text

2012-07-15 Thread Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso

Hi there,

I am adding social sharing of highscores to my app. It works fine on
Google+, but when sharing in facebook the text is clipped, showing only
the link to the application and the text it gathers from google play,
and also an image icon that has nothing to see with my app but it is
also gathered by Facebook from google play due the application link.

This is the text I send as defined on strings.xml resouce, for l10n:

string name=game_sharing_score formatted=false
My new High Score on Gamename: %d\n
Sure you cannot beat me! :-P\n\n
If you have an Android phone or tablet, you can download
Gamename from here:\n
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gamepackage
/string

(I have changed real game name and package by Gamename and gampackage in
this message. Of course in the app the values are the actual ones).

The code for sharing is the following one:

String shareScoreMsg =
String.format(context.getString(R.string.game_sharing_score), highestScore);
Intent shareScoreInt = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareScoreInt.setType(text/plain);
shareScoreInt.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareScoreMsg);
   
game.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareScoreInt,
context.getString(R.string.game_sharing_score_title)));

game is an Activity descendant instance, and context is the
application context, and the resource string game_sharing_score_title
is just a title for the activity that says Share your score.

Anyway everything works fine with the code, the problem seems to be with
facebook itself, that although it receives the whole text, it just
shares the last link to Google Play.

Does someone knows any workaround for this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance,

[android-developers] Re: Facebook clipping my share text

JFTR I also tested with WhatsUp and it works fine also with this

 Hi there,

 I am adding social sharing of highscores to my app. It works fine on
 Google+, but when sharing in facebook the text is clipped, showing only
 the link to the application and the text it gathers from google play,
 and also an image icon that has nothing to see with my app but it is
 also gathered by Facebook from google play due the application link.

 This is the text I send as defined on strings.xml resouce, for l10n:

 string name=game_sharing_score formatted=false
 My new High Score on Gamename: %d\n
 Sure you cannot beat me! :-P\n\n
 If you have an Android phone or tablet, you can download
 Gamename from here:\n
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gamepackage
 /string

 (I have changed real game name and package by Gamename and gampackage in
 this message. Of course in the app the values are the actual ones).

 The code for sharing is the following one:

 Okay: Apple is famous for having great UIs.

 iOS does not have a hard menu button.

 I believe there is an implication that you can do a great UI here without
 relying on a hard menu button.

Forget Apple - I've never been an Apple user, I've no idea how
full-screen apps cope with Apple hardware.  As I'm sure you understand
only too well, the core of my argument is elsewhere.  At this point, I
just meant to emphasise the point that to users, things have a feel
to them which means not all solutions that technically work are
created equal.

I remarked that Apple gets a lot of praise for understanding this and
getting their UX mostly right.  That doesn't mean they never screw up,
that their stuff can't be improved upon or that it's equally well
suited for any purpose.

 Saying no Menu button should be enough for everyone reminds a
 similar well-known statement that concerned 640kB of memory -
 supporting such claims you run an acute risk of getting on the wrong
 side of history. :-)


 But this is what I was really here to reply to.

 Seriously?

 You are comparing whether there is a physical button for invoking a menu vs.
 an affordance within the application to a statement that one will never need
 more than the *amount* of a certain resource?

Yep, exactly.  What's your problem with that?

Using memory is fundamental to software which is why the original
statement was rather short-sighted - it didn't really take a
clairvoyant to be able to imagine future software doing more stuff and
eating more memory.  Bringing up UI is equally fundamental to software
(I don't remember if I ever saw an Android app that had no use for the
menu button), especially on small screens, and that it would be very
beneficial to have a standard way of doing so - in particular if
there's no good reason not to have such a way.

Also I believe I mentioned quite a few of more substantial arguments
for off-screen controls, including a fairly realistic case study of an
app that would be crippled by not having off-screen controls - why
don't you choose to respond to some of that?  In particular, what's
the insurmountable problem with an off-screen menu button?

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] ScrollView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true) doens't work

2012-07-15 Thread Dean Schulze

Here's what the JavaDocs say:

 Define whether the horizontal scrollbar should be drawn or not. The 
scrollbar is not drawn by default. 

What do you mean by as documented?  The Java Docs don't give any 
qualifications about its use.  They're misleading.

I need both vertical and horizontal scrolling.  ScrollView gives me 
vertical scrolling, but apparently not horizontal scrolling.  The JavaDocs 
for ScrollView don't say why that should be the case.

[android-developers] problem getting current EGL config

2012-07-15 Thread Latimerius

I'm using code to query the current EGL config similar to this:

int [] curConfigId = new int [1];
egl.eglQueryContext (curDisp, curCtxt, EGL11.EGL_CONFIG_ID, 
curConfigId);

EGLConfig [] cfgs = new EGLConfig [1];
int [] numCfgs = new int [1];
egl.eglChooseConfig (curDisp, new int [] { EGL11.EGL_CONFIG_ID,
curConfigId[0], EGL11.EGL_NONE }, cfgs, 1, numCfgs);

It's hard to get detailed info on EGL but for all I know, this should
work - except that it doesn't.  In particular, the EGLConfig this gets
me has a 16bit depth buffer whereas actually there are no ancillary
buffers attached to the current context or surface.

In contrast, if I just run eglChooseConfig(), requesting the first
config with RGB 565, I get the current config.

(I can tell if I got the correct EGLConfig because I use it then to
make a pbuffer which I subsequently eglMakeCurrent() with the current
EGLContext.  This fails with EGL_BAD_MATCH (I think) if the config
used to create the pbuffer was not compatible with the current
context's config.)

Am I messing up somewhere, or is this a bug in Android EGL implementation?

[android-developers] Re: Facebook clipping my share text

2012-07-15 Thread Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso

This seems to be a recurrent problem with Facebook. I have found a lot
of messages of people that can share links but not text through a
SEND_ACTION intent. And some of those messages are older than one
year... it seems like FB guys are not very interested on its Android app.

It's a pitty. Something that could be so easy and, in fact, it is really
easy for Twitter, Google+, WhatsUp, etc... becomes a lot more
complicated due FB s*ckers.

[android-developers] Make SlidingDrawer's content always visible?



I'm using android:bottomOffset to make the drawer stick out 100dip from the 
bottom. That works fine, but my content is not visible. It's only visible 
when I touch the drawer. How can I make that its always visible (the 100dip 
show the content)?

I first thought it's a visibility issue, because the visibility of the 
content is set to GONE in onFinishInflate(), prepareContent(), closeDrawer()... 
copied the SlidingDrawer and removed these lines, didn't solve it. It seems 
that it is a position issue, currently I'm playing with the numbers but 
still don't find how to make the view appear where it should be... and 
don't have more time for this... any help is greatly appreciated.

This is an image of the problem.

and P.S. This default behaviour also looks erroneous to me, I don't know 
why somebody would want to make the offset only for the handle, making a 
gap between it and the content, and then on touch put the content directly 
under the handle...

[android-developers] Re: Memory issues in list view with bitmaps

2012-07-15 Thread RichardC

Some options:

   - load thumbnails only and let the user click one to see it large
   - use a scrolling thumbnail image bar which and show its centre image 
   above it as large as possible. On a phone imaging a small bar (full width) 
   at the bottom of the screen with 3 or 5 thumbnails.  You would show the 
   centre thumbnail above the bar filling the rest of the screen and the user 
   would swipe left/right on the thumbnails to change image.
   - only show 1 large image and make the user swipe to scroll to the next.

In all of the above options there is only ever 1 large image loaded at any 
time. Thumbnails should be re-sampled as they are loaded so as to only use 
a few KB.

[android-developers] Can't figure out DatePickerDialog behavior in Jelly Bean

2012-07-15 Thread David Cesarino

Hi,

Full details on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/q/11444238/489607. 
I'm asking here because I'm thinking nobody will answer, and for what I've 
found I believe this question warrants a position in this group.

Anyway, I have basically 2 problems.

#1 - Jelly Bean changed the DatePickerDialog appearance. Right now, a 
Cancel button isn't provided by default like on previous versions. This 
doesn't seem like a problem because we can set a negative button and it 
will appear just fine. Nothing serious.

#2 - OnDateSet is called no matter what the user does. If the user clicks 
the set button, the method is called twice. If the user clicks cancel, the 
cancel method is called, and then the onDateSet method is called. If the 
user presses the back key or touches outside the dialog, the onDateSet is 
called.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Thank you,
David Cesarino

[android-developers] Re: Jelly Bean and Strict Mode

2012-07-15 Thread b0b

Ok found the cause of StrictMode.setThreadPolicy() not working.

I was making this call in the onCreate() of a subclass of the Application 
class. This worked prior to Jelly Bean.

Now in JB, it must be called after an Activity's onCreate() to take effect. 

Looks like the default StrictMode ThreadPolicy initialization done by the 
framework is not done the same way in JB than prior versions.

[android-developers] Problem with running an app on Android Emulator

2012-07-15 Thread jibeso

I have a Macbook Pro, I've just launched my device following your amazing 
tutorial and tried to download an app following a video about how getting 
apps on our android emulator with 4shared.com . I tried to download the app 
called Kakaotalk but when trying to open it, it doesn't work (here's a 
screenshot: http://i49.tinypic.com/szyeqr.png) as in there's no help button 
I can click. Plus, I don't know why but when typing I have to use the 
emulator keyboard because if I type through my pc keyboard it doesn't work 
like it doesn't type anything. Screenshot: 
http://i47.tinypic.com/24bvuav.png  As you can see I can only type clicking 
with my pc's mouse on each letter of the keyboard on bottom left. I'd be 
really grated if you might help me.. 

Thanks in advance...

[android-developers] HTTP Post works only on port 80 when on mobile network (Galaxy Nexus)

2012-07-15 Thread Zoran Smilevski

Hello!

I have a problem with posting data when using mobile data network on a port 
different than 80. This happens only on Galaxy Nexus. I have also reported 
a bug with detailed description 
(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34769). There is also a 
demo app so anyone can test this.

I was also trying to send a post using a socket, like it's described on 
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.net/PostSocket.html. In this case 
everything works fine.

I hope that someone will see this and tell me what the hell am I doing 
wrong or confirm that bug :)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Custom DialogPreference and PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues issue

2012-07-15 Thread jdr88

I just came across the same issue and can confirm the same behaviour:

*android:defaultValue* of a custom DialogPreference is *not* set
with PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues() method.

Seems like a bug?
I'm using now the solution that you proposed...

 If ever someone has a better solution, it will be welcome :)

  2011/10/11 Thierry Legras tleg...@gmail.com

 Hi Ibendlin,

 Thanks for helping me :)

 I don't think the problem is in SeekBarPreference.onSetInitialValue() 
 function itself as it is never called (I have put a log in it to check). 
 There is certainly an issue somewhere in my implementation; when 
 setDefaultValues is called, only SeekBarPreference constructor is called. 

 I was suspecting the xml, but I don't see any problem in it 
 (android:defaultValue is set and android:persistent as well):

 com.tlegras.tools.SeekBarPreference 
 android:key=preferences_epg_daytostore
 android:title=@string/preferences_epg_daytostore_title
 android:summary=@string/preferences_epg_daytostore_summary
 android:dialogMessage=Nombre de journées à télécharger. 
 Attention, plus ce nombre est élevé, plus le chargement sera long et 
 moins l'application sera réactive.
 android:text= jour(s)
 android:defaultValue=4
 android:max=5
 android:persistent=true 
 /


 2011/10/11 lbendlin l...@bendlin.us

 it took me a few weeks to get that right.  here's my example for a 
 boolean value. And yes, .setDefaultValues is actually working, despite what 
 you may think :-/

@Override
 protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restoreValue, Object 
 defaultValue) {
 boolean temp = restoreValue ? getPersistedBoolean(false) : 
 defaultValue.toString().equals(true) ? true : false;
 if (!restoreValue)
 persistBoolean(temp);
 this.oldValue = temp;
 }

[android-developers] TextView textSize unknown during Constrcutor (Jellybean)?

2012-07-15 Thread Piren

Hi

I've noticed Jellybean is having a different behavior when it comes to 
creating TextViews. 
I have a class that extends Widget.TextView, up until API 16 the textSize 
was already known after you initialize your class using TextView's 
constructors (at least on APIs 7-15)

Why is this no longer true on API 16? is that a bug or on purpose?

[android-developers] maybe a focus issue? EditText number problem

2012-07-15 Thread tbny

I am having a problem with entering numbers into an EditText field. 

I have a ListView of EditText fields in one column. If I click into the 
first field I can add a number with no problems, I also have the next 
option on the number pad to easily traverse to the next item. This all 
works fine until I get to the second to last item in the column. Once I hit 
this point I have a done option (this is incorrect, should be next) and 
if I click done, then click into the last EditText Item my number pad 
quickly changes to a character pad and loses focus on the item making it 
completely un-editable.

The keyboard also moves the whole screen up so it makes the display 
difficult to read, I don't now if that could be the problem. 

My EditText fields are created dynamically and initialized with the 
type  InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL

any thoughts on this weird issue? 
Please and Thank you!

This is an image of the problem.
and P.S. This default behaviour also looks erroneous to me, I don't know why 
somebody would want to make the offset only for the handle, making a gap 
between it and the content, and then on touch put the content directly under

Re: [android-developers] AppWidgetProvider

2012-07-15 Thread Gicci

Sorry, maybe I was not clear in describing the problem.

The description of NetworkOnMainThreadException says:
The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a 
networking operation on its main thread. This is only thrown for 
applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or higher. Applications targeting 
earlier SDK versions are allowed to do networking on their main event loop 
threads, but it's heavily discouraged.

The manifest where my Service is declared says that I am targeting SDK 10 
while Honeycomb is 12, so I was surprised to see this kind of exception.

[android-developers] Resolution problem

As far I know each folder covers certain resolution range. If I save 
bitmaps in hdpi it will be used by devices considered as hdpi. Now, for a 
480 x 800 device, it will not matter if I store there 480 x 800 bitmaps or 
let's say 700 x 1000. As far I saw in some tests I made, the bitmaps look 
the same, and the memory consumption is the same.

But now if I don't have folders for higher resolution devices, and don't 
use compatibility mode, as far I understand (please somebody correct me if 
I'm wrong), the system will try to use the bitmaps from hdpi folder 
(right?). And there it will make a difference if the bitmaps are in 480 x 
800 or 700 x 1000, because the system will scale the bitmaps assuming they 
are in hdpi size, and if they are actually already in xhdpi size (or near 
to it), then it will load a scaled, very big bitmap and this will consume a 
lot of memory.

Saying this, because I had this problem with drawable and drawable-hdpi. I 
had erroneusly stored all the bitmaps, which were in hdpi resolution, in 
the drawable folder, instead the hdpi folder (hdpi folder was empty), so 
the hdpi devices scaled the bitmaps from the drawable folder (which were 
already in hdpi) resulting in enourmous bitmaps and out of memory errors.

Not sure if I will get this problem again with hdpi and xhdpi... if yes, I 
can think about 2 solutions:
1. Disable the scaling for xhdpi using supports-screens tag in the 
manifest, this way enabling compatibilty mode.
2. Scale the bitmaps in hdpi down, so they fit exactly hdpi. But what is 
exactly hdpi? Which exact screen resolution should I refer in order to 
scale the  bitmaps?

And 3, would be to create bitmaps for xhdpi but that's not a solution for 
me, since xhdpi is not explicitedly supported.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [android-developers] AppWidgetProvider

2012-07-15 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

Sounds like a bug to me. Even though widgets are rendered by another
process - the home screen - the widget provider lives in your own
application's process.

What you can do is use IntentService, and push widget updates from there.
It's not necessary to update widgets from within onUpdate - you can get the
necessary Android service objects (like AppWidgetManager) from an
IntentService, a worker thread, or anywhere really.

Re: [android-developers] Resolution problem

2012-07-15 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

-hdpi or -xhdpi is not resolution, it's screen density - pixels per inch.

hdpi is 240 dpi
xhdpi is 320 dpi

mdpi is 160dpi, and is the reference density, at which dp's are same as
pixels

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Images placed in -hdpi will be used as is without scaling on -hdpi devices
and will be scaled up on -xhdpi devices (taking 1,77 times more memory).
But on the other hand, higher density devices have higher per-app runtime
heap limits.
