 I first thought it's a visibility issue, because the visibility of the

 playing with the numbers but still don't find how to make the view appear

[android-developers] Re: backend for app?

You should go with PHP and MySQL.  I'd get a virtual server account for 
$5/month or so.  That way someone else has gone thru the fuss of setting it 
up.

Plus, since PHP is thru the web, you don't have to worry so much about 
firewalls and such.

Plus, you can use phpMyAdmin to make all your databases easily.

[android-developers] Re: File IO works on Emulator but not my snowball board

 

Try uploading a file into the /mnt/sdcard dir (or maybe /sdcard?) using 
Eclipse's File Explorer window.


This will tell us if you have permission.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have the following in my manifest file






I am quite confident that I am writing to the write location because it 
works when I run on the emulator. I think it may be a permissions issue 
when running on my snowball board, or maybe due to a different versions of 
android.

11clock, you should be familiar with terms like "well formed" and "valid" 
when you deal with XML.

There are many resources on the Web to help with such things.

In an incomplete nutshell, "well formed" means that the XML syntax is 
right, 
that is, begin tags and end tags properly match up, sections don't "cross 
over" each other (where the end tag for the first begin tag precedes the 
end 
tag for the second begin tag, violating strict nesting), attributes are 
quote 
enclosed, and such rules.

"Valid" means that the XML document conforms to its declared schema.

The XML you showed in your post is blatantly ill formed.

Just like your error message says.

Re: [android-developers] The purpose of resource name "mipmap"?!

2012-07-19 Thread Romain Guy

It's not an old way, it was added *after* drawable-hdpi, etc. It's useful
to provide an image at a larger resolution that would normally be computed
(for instance, on an mdpi device, Launcher might want the larger hdpi icon
to display large app shortcuts.)

[android-developers] Jelly bean swiping task away from task list kills service

2012-07-19 Thread Andy dev

I've got a service running (an accessibility service called 
MainRunningService) and also use an alarmmanager within my app.
 
On ICS when a user pulled up the task list and swiped the app away the 
service kept running, but the user interface was cleared from the stack.
 
On jelly bean I'm finding this to be a little different. It seems like it 
kills off the service and then restarts it even if I've got an icon in the 
notification bar and I've got the app set to run in the foreground. This is 
killing off all my current app state and causing it to stop working.
 
I'm seeing this in the logs
 
07-19 21:47:42.213: I/ActivityManager(307): Killing 
834:com.example.android.appname/u0a72: remove task
07-19 21:47:42.236: W/AudioService(307):   AudioFocus   audio focus client 
died
07-19 21:47:42.236: I/AudioService(307):  AudioFocus  abandonAudioFocus(): 
removing entry for 
android.media.AudioManager@41a42020com.example.android.appname.service.MainRunningService$1@41963ec0
07-19 21:47:42.244: W/ActivityManager(307): Scheduling restart of crashed 
service com.rageconsulting.android.appname/.service.MainRunningService in 
5000ms
 
For the persistent Icon I'm doing the following:
Notification foregroundNotification;
foregroundNotification = new Notification(R.drawable.iconx,"Example 
starting notification",System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent i=new Intent(this, MainUIActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
foregroundNotification.flags|=Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground(9642, foregroundNotification);

 

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've never had a problem in the past 
with this code, but it's not very good on jelly bean.

That's my guess. It's a guess, though.

And, bear in mind that the ANR limit is merely the limit where Android
will take action to stop the bleeding. Your UI should be completely
frozen during these "several seconds", which is very bad for UX.
Anything taking that amount of time needs to be done in a background
thread (e.g., AsyncTask).

I also discovered this being used in the stock MMS (SMS) app. It appears to 
be an old way of providing prescaled images for different resolutions, 
before they added support for drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi and so on. There 
is some information about it here:

That is called on the main application thread. It should not run for
more than a few milliseconds. Moreover, you should not need it to run
longer than a few milliseconds -- you should be copying data out of
widgets or data members and putting them in a Bundle.

Any time you take "several seconds" on the main application thread,
you can get an ANR or other behavior.

Take much less time in onSaveInstanceState().

[android-developers] onSaveInstanceState() killed by OS

2012-07-19 Thread Andrew

Hello,

I'm experiencing an unexpected OS behaviour; mentioned at least on Android 
2.x, possible applicable to newer versions too.

When OS calls 
onSaveInstanceState(for
 whatever reason) apparently application may be killed while within 
this call if it is run for rather a long time (several seconds).

Is there a known time limit for this call to run inside application?
Is this a proper behaviour in general?  It is not mentioned in 
documentation.
Is this preventable?


BTW, there's something ambiguous mentioned in 
onPause
 method:

> When activity B is launched in front of activity A, this callback will be 
> invoked on A. B will not be created until A's onPause() returns, so be sure 
> to not do anything lengthy here.

*Lengthy* is not a measurable thing :)


TIA.
Andrew.

That's a bit funny:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageDirectory()
 
returns a File and

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html#getAbsolutePath()

Did you mean:
File root = new

?

I found the solution by changing

for

File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(); 

It works at last!

[android-developers] Re: Exception chaos using the FragmentStatePagerAdapter (support package)

2012-07-19 Thread user123

The documentation also says:

" * This version of the pager is more useful when there are a large 
number
 * of pages, working more like a list view.  When pages are not visible to
 * the user, their entire fragment may be destroyed, only keeping the saved
 * state of that fragment.  This allows the pager to hold on to much less
 * memory associated with each visited page as compared to
 * {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} at the cost of potentially more overhead 
when
 * switching between pages."

So why it keeps crashing because it tries to access destroyed fragments, if 
it's designed with the fact in mind, that the fragments might be 
destroyed...?

[android-developers] Exception chaos using the FragmentStatePagerAdapter (support package)

2012-07-19 Thread user123

I'm using the FragmentStatePagerAdapter in a ViewPager, in order to provide
mutable content (FragmentPagerAdapter didn't work, it was not possible to
change the content after having set it the first time).

Mainly it works, but it crashes frequently because of
IllegalStateExceptions: "Fragment no longer exists" / "No view found for id
0xcf for fragment" / "Fragment is no longer in the fragment manager" (and
forgot the 4th one). There's nothing directly related to my code in the
stack trace, all I know, is that it's somehow related with saving /
restoring state, and trying to access not existing fragments.

The documentation in
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/FragmentStatePagerAdapter.html
doesn't
give my any help, the description and example is very basic and don't say
anything about having to care about saving / restoring fragment's state.
And I don't have time to study all the source.

All the documentation says about requeriments is:

"When using FragmentPagerAdapter the host ViewPager must have a valid ID
set.

Subclasses only need to implement
getItem(int)
and
getCount()
to
have a working adapter."

I'm doing that.

Can somebody help me out of this, at least giving me a logical background
of these problems and what am I supposed to to?

[android-developers] File IO works on Emulator but not my snowball board

2012-07-19 Thread marcpolo

Hi,

I am unable to get file IO working on my snowball board, with the log 
reporting 

I have tried writing to internal and external space using both Java and 
Native C++ code but to no avail.

I get the message : File open failed : EACCES (permission denied).

When I run on the emulator the FileIO works okay.

Do I have to establish root permission within my Android applications 
perform FileIO on my device?

Could this be related to the version of Android running on my Snowball 
board, compared with the emulator?

Thanks in advance.

I don't, but this is not that complicated.
1 - Connect to website, get input stream.
2 - Feed stream to XmlParser, parse the data.
3 - Convert the xml data to your business objects
4 - Display your list of business objects in a list with a custom adapter.

You should be able to find plenty of examples for each piece on the

Unless you're having issues with the Android side of things, uploading to

The error pretty much tells you exactly what the problem is. You can't
parse this "anyType" to an Integer. So don't do that.

If that's exactly what your XML looks like, starting with an end tag (the
"") is probably a likely culprit.

This has nothing to do with developing apps with the Android SDK, which is
what this list is for.

This has nothing to do with this list.
For questions with external libraries and SDKs, contact the developers of
those SDKs.
I would imagine Amazon has a group or forum dedicated to their S3 Android
SDK.

Looks like two separate images derived from the original, using a subset of
the drawing area based on the image's location. Create two images, do some
math, and draw where appropriate.

I think the idea is you use Fragments in both cases, just change the layout
based on the device properties.

What you described is pretty much exactly what is explained in the docs:

[android-developers] setPictureSize on Droid RAZR

2012-07-19 Thread paladin

I'm trying to fix a bug some customers are having only on Droid RAZRs, and 
I don't happen to have access to one. We're trying to take pictures as 
close to the size 1600x1200 as we can, to optimize the size/quality of the 
pic. However, whenever I setPictureSize on a RAZR (using available picture 
sizes), for some reason the pictures taken are tiny and unusable. I can't 
find anywhere that would explain why. Apparently the default is a 6MP 
widescreen picture -- could the fact that it's widescreen have anything to 
do with it? Can anyone with a RAZR try this out?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Hardware accleration slow down every Canvas app. Why?

2012-07-19 Thread Piren

ahmm... i've got a couple of those and i'll have to check, but i'm pretty
sure the one i used to test on is actually the 9100G (the international
version), which has the SGX540 :)

Regarding the issue, the list i noticed the slowdown on just has a couple
of TextViews and and a couple of ImageViews nothing fancy. I do have a
customized fast scroll i wrote, but even when i disabled it i noticed the
same issue.
I couldn't find an explanation why that specific ListView was slowing down
with HA, so i just set it to be a software layer and thats it.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a Mali 400 form ARM, Galaxy Nexus has an SGX540

the apps does I cannot say more about what's going on (also, all the apps

That means that you are not allowed to create your own navigation app using 
the Google Maps API.

You *have* to use an Intent instead if you want to provide navigation based 
on Google Maps.

Agreed. It's line one line of code to launch the intent so you can very

What you describe is very broad and generic. You're basically asking "How
do I make a RSS reader app?" The answer is "Write the code to do it".
What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck? Where *specifically* do

Actually it is possible. Specific commands can run well on some GPUs and
terribly on other GPUs. For instance, if you use the "edge fade" effect in
your views, you can expect a significant performance hit on SGX GPUs like
the one found in Galaxy Nexus.

Once again, I cannot really help without knowing more about what exactly

Re: [android-developers] Re: Google Maps API/ Custom Application that use Google Maps/Navigation

Oh ok, thats what i thought would be the best solution for my
application. I was looking into the Google Maps api and it did look
like a lot of stuff wasn't available.
I do have still this question however, would do i go about making this
feed that i need to.
All i want is something that i can add too on a website, the
application will refresh and pull it and display it in a listview with
the option of click the item and see more info about it
and having the lat and long to be able to click to navigate too.

[android-developers] Re: Google Maps API/ Custom Application that use Google Maps/Navigation

2012-07-19 Thread JP

I'd try calling up the Google Maps app via Intent first. See if it
fits the UI flow and provides what you need. If so, I would run with
it. Reason: Except for being pulled though new API levels, the Maps
API has been pretty much abandoned. By now, it is roughly a couple
years behind what Google Maps can do.

Re: [android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

2012-07-19 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

In one of the prior messages on this thread, Dianne Hackborn mentioned her
plans to implement a UI screen in Settings to enable READ_LOGS (for apps
that have it in their manifest).

One could hope that this screen, whenever it appears, will have a
documented launch action - so that apps like CatLog, aLogCat, etc can
prompt the user and bring this screen up.

This scheme already works for third party keyboards - out of the ones I
use, both Swype and Swift Key 3 (highly recommended) have a setup wizard
that

1) explains that the just installed keyboard needs to be enabled
2) brings up the system settings screen where this can be done

Very simple and it works.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Forcing lower resolution drawables on phones with big screens and small RAM

I used to use BitmapFactory.decodeStream for creating Bitmaps from raw
assets.

Just guessing, may be you can load each bit map, show it in the fly, and
recycle it before loading next one.

 You still could go with the "streaming" idea. At any given time you
would have a fixed size amount of frames in memory (let's say 15 bitmaps,
just as an example). As the animation progresses you need to load the next
batch and discard older ones. In order to prevent loading hickups you could
proceed as follows:
 Your "window" of animation bitmaps has 15 items.
 As the animation counter reaches item #6 you would recycle the last 5
ones and load the next 5 ones that come after item #15
 Loading needs to be done in a background thread (AsyncTask)

 Of course you'd need to add special logic for your case, like allowing
to loop a certain amount of animation frames and starting playback from any
point of the sequence and so on. But this could be done with a fixed size
window of frames.

 I think that's the only sane way to do that based on that huge bitmap
sequence and you could even adjust the window size according to the
available memory. Play around with these numbers in order to get the best
result for your animation.

 By the way, I would just animate the flame itself and use a single,
static bitmap for the lighter. That way you could use a low-resolution
bitmap sequence of the flame and scale it up on devices with less memory.
Lights and shadows could be faked in real time, too, by drawing overlays on
the view's canvas.

 Maybe you can get away with that solution and don't need to implement
a streaming technique.

[android-developers] LinearLayout divider broken in ICS?

2012-07-19 Thread Tomas Prochazka

I tried to use 
android:divider="@drawable/star_off"
android:showDividers="middle"

I spent half a day looking for the bug in my code. Than I trying to other 
android version.
On the Android 3.x everything is OK, the same on the 4.1, but on 4.0 it is 
broken, delimiter will draw not in the gap between view but more right or 
down.
So I found that it is broken only in ICS, 
Here is source code comparation (left is ICS, right Jelly Bean)






I think that you really should write information like this to the 
documentation or allow to users write notes to the API documentation, like 
information that it doesn't work :-(

To take the device back a refreshed state?  You can't do that in the
SDK, or anything but custom firmware.  Why are you asking here?
Android-developers is not the place, and frankly, it sounds like you
don't have the foresight to realize why such a feature would be useful
(I doubt it would), which implies that you also probably don't have
the necessary background to modify the firmware to do so..

That's right, and that's why I always tell people that it's useless to
do things like "hide" their code from the user / other programs...,
Once you assume that your app can be run on things that aren't just
stock firmware, you have a more interesting situation..

App log is not enough. Earlier in this thread I mentioned that often, and 
in cases where hardware is involved, almost always, system logs contain 
information directly related to what is happening to your app.

As for ACRA, isn't it also going to be crippled by READ_LOGS no longer 
granted?

It starts looking like a security theater to me.

All right, one can do all this if one gets the custom ROM to get the logs 
over WiFi (by extension: one can build a custom ROM which disregards 
READ_LOGS completely). Hence, a malicious party will be able to read logs 
no matter what *on device in their physical possession*.

So, why is it not possible for a user to do the same on the production 
build, *on device in their physical possession*?

 Hi,

 Generally SystemServer wiil start all systemservices
 (ActivityManagerService, PackageManager etc..)right.

 1)Is it possible  to restart the systemserver  so that all
 systemservices will be restarted.
 2) Similarly can we restart the particular systemservice for ex:
 PackageManagerService.

This is basically why things like ACRA were invented...,

There's nothing stopping you from dumping your app's logs to a file
and then syncing that with your backend periodically..

If a leaf falls to the ground in a forest and no one hears it, does it make 
a sound?

In other words, if your ADK app controls, say, an expensive aquarium with 
fish and corals in it (which can easily run into five figures), and you get 
back home after a week's vacation to find that a few days ago your app ran 
amok and boiled everything and your fish is dead, how is my cool ADK 
contraption better than a terminally dim PIC hack?

- How do I make the bug report span across an arbitrary length of time?
- How do I trigger a bug report generation, say, on a regular basis, or 
from inside an application?

 Hi there,

 I'm having an issue with an activity, which is started via a 
 notification, which is spawned by an alarm.

 I've added debug outputs to determine whether the right data is being 
 sent, and it is.  What's happening is this:

 The alarm fires, which picks a random entry from my database, and 
 creates a notification with an intent starts an activity with that ID 
 value 
 as a bundle extra.  When this activity starts, the notification is 
 cancelled.  The first time this all works like a charm.  However, the 
 second time this alarm fires, it creates a new notification, and adds a 
 different ID to the bundle extra (I'm sure of this since I print out the 
 value of the variable).  However, when the new activity starts, it reads 
 the OLD ID from the bundle extras.

 What gives?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Someone stole my sound effects

Well, if it were so easy the other guy could have recorded them by himself
instead of stole others work.

It depends on which birds and where. Is also rather difficult  to find the
place and time to record some of them and also avoiding other noises.

I would complain to Google at least. It is free.

[android-developers] Power on Galaxy Nexus via USB

2012-07-19 Thread Todd Sjolander

Is it possible to turn on a Nexus from the USB port?  I'm developing a 
device which will have a sort of docking station for the Nexus, and I'd 
like to power it on with a single button to boot both the dock and the 
phone.  I've noticed that if the phone is off and it gets plugged into a 
power source, the screen turns on.  That leads me to believe there's some 
decision being made as to what should get powered on at that time.  Could a 
change in firmware to the power management chip modify that behavior to 
power on the entire phone?  This 
leads 
me to believe that the chip in question is the "Texas Instruments 
TWL6030 Fully 
Integrated Power Management with Switch Mode Charger".  

Thanks,
Todd

This isn't the topic of this list, but which version of Eclipse are
you using?  I've found Eclipse to be buggy in general, which is too
bad, but really, there is a large developer community there, and if
you'd like to help out you can make sure you're running a version of
Eclipse that is supposed to work for you, and then capture stack
traces for them...

Re: [android-developers] Activity being started with old bundle data

The root of the issue is described here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent.html

>>
If the creating application later re-retrieves the same kind of
PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action, data, categories, and

<<

Note that extras are not mentioned in as things that make a pending intent
unique.

Since your intent contains extras, use PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT so
that any new values are picked up.

Or use PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT as Dianne suggested to cancel the
current pending intent with the old extras and create a new one with new
values.

Or use a unique requestId (the parameter that's documented as not used).

Or use PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT so the old pending intent is forgotten
after being fired, and the a pending intent is created the next time.

Or use intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME))) to
give your intent a unique data Uri that contains the extras in an encoded
form.

Dave,

It really depends on what you want, there are some very good platforms like 
StackMob (my favourite) or Parse where you can set up your API in minutes.
If you are looking for a backend for a game, we're working on a solution 
for gaming.

When I upgraded from an old broken down laptop to my Mac Mini, and got
a newer version of Eclipse, I couldn't find
File-New-Android-->Android Project (no need to go to
File-->New-->Android-->etc.).  I thought I remembered a setting to change
that, and asked a friend.  The suggestion I got was to use the icon that
pulls up the wizard directly ... no need to fsck around with the menus.
It's in the third set of icons (from the left) and is the first icon
(assuming these don't change from release to release, and that you
haven't changed anything).  Just hover the mouse over it and it should
say something like "Open a wizard to help create a new Android project".

Or, as Mark says, use the menus with the new wording (which I haven't
seen, as I'm behind at least one version).  Whatever works best for you
is the right answer for you.  :-)

Re: [android-developers] Activity being started with old bundle data

2012-07-19 Thread Matt Schoen

No, I did not.  Should I?  There are currently no flags on the intent.

[android-developers] Re: ActionBar with gradient background

2012-07-19 Thread mx_joe

Hi,

now I have found a pretty easy way to get a gradient background myself! :-)

*Here is how it works*

Create a XML file in drawable folder, its content should look like this:

*
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:shape="rectangle"
android:useLevel="false" >

*

Second step, adjust your styles.xml file in values folder and add following 
line to your ActionBar style:

*@drawable/NAME_OF_CREATED_XML_FILE_WITHOUT_DOT_XML
*

Now you should have an ActionBar which is black at the top and white at the 
bottom and transitions the color between bottom and top.

Have fun!

Re: [android-developers] Problems With The Use Of Java Native Libraries in Android !!

You use the Native Development Kit (NDK):

http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

Also, please do not hardwire /sdcard as a path, as that may not work
on all devices. Please use appropriate methods on the Environment
class to find a place to write to on external storage.

[android-developers] Sole Trader in Germany?

2012-07-19 Thread kaciula

Is anyone here a developer who sells Android apps via Google Checkout and 
is located in Germany?

I need some basic info regarding the tax system in Germany. I am a Sole 
Trader located in Romania and, in order to sell Android apps, I've linked 
my Google Checkout with a German bank account owned by someone else. I've 
started making some money and I have no clue if I should declare something 
in Germany or pay my taxes in Romania etc. Any help would be much 
appreciated.

This does not add an alarm to the "Android alarm application". It adds
an alarm to whatever alarm clock application the user chooses, based
on what activities respond to ACTION_SET_ALARM.

Beyond that, there are no documented extras for this, and therefore
you cannot assume that any given alarm clock implementation will
support replacing an existing alarm.
