[android-developers] Re: Send SMS every x minutes

[Brian Hoffmann]

You are calling Thread.sleep() in the onClickHandler of your send button. 
Besides that, you're also trying to do all the repeated message sending in 
that handler. This is most likely to fail because this way you are blocking 
the UI thread. You shouldn't do any long running actions in the main 
thread. If you do, Android will recognize an ANR and will consequently kill 
your app's process.

Instead you should consider using a Service (I'd prefer IntentService [1]). 
In that Service you can handle the message sending without block the main 
thread. Combine that with the AlarmManager [2] to trigger the service every 
time you want to send messages (so you won't need any of that ugly 
Thread.sleep stuff).

[android-developers] Re: Write to another application's internal memory

[Carl]

You could try using android:process with the same process name on the 
manifest declaration of the activities in each app between which you wish 
communication to occur.  Note that they will also probably have to share a 
single heap, which may create problems, depending upon how much memory is 
consumed by the apps' activities collectively.  

The purpose of android:process on an activity is to specify that your 
activity should be launched in a process having a specific name. The choice 
of that name may be used either to isolate the activity in its own process 
(other than the one the launched it), or to force it to cohabit in a single 
process with other activities (potentially from different apps) that use 
the same name.

Per the Dev Guide 
(http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html):

"If the name assigned to this attribute begins with a colon (':'), a new 
process, private to the application, is created when it's needed and the 
activity runs in that process. If the process name begins with a lowercase 
character, the activity will run in a global process of that name, provided 
that it has permission to do so. This allows components in different 
applications to share a process, reducing resource usage."
Both apps also have to be signed by the same certificate.

Per http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html:

"Application modularity – The Android system allows applications that are 
signed by the same certificate to run in the same process, if the 
applications so requests, so that the system treats them as a single 
application. In this way you can deploy your application in modules, and 
users can update each of the modules independently if needed.

"Code/data sharing through permissions – The Android system provides 
signature-based permissions enforcement, so that an application can expose 
functionality to another application that is signed with a specified 
certificate. By signing multiple applications with the same certificate and 
using signature-based permissions checks, your applications can share code 
and data in a secure manner."

Caveat: While I have successfully used android:process to provide a 
separate heap to a help activity within an app, I have not yet tried to use 
it to communicate between two separate apps.

[android-developers] Re: textview and autolink=web question

what about android:sharedUserId?

in this case you have two apps running  in two separate VM but having
the same user id which means they have the same file access privs

[android-developers] App Engine Connected Android Project

[Nsubuga]

Hi buddies.
I installed the latest Google plugin for Eclipse(Juno) last night. However, 
when I try to create an App Engine Connected Android Project I get the 
following error:

Plug-in com.google.gdt.eclipse.mobile.android was unable to load class 
com.google.gdt.eclipse.mobile.android.wizards.NewAndroidCloudProjectWizard.
com.google.gdt.eclipse.mobile.android.wizards.NewAndroidCloudProjectWizard 
. I am using Ubuntu 12.04

Some one help with a work around if any. Some forums said it was a bug, if 
so was it fixed?
Thanks

[android-developers] hi..

[Ibrahim Sada]

Below is the brief explanation of wat we are trying to acheive.

1. There are mainly 2 parts involved in this project. Android UI and SQLite
DB.
2. As per the design, the SQLite DBs entires will be used to populate the
Android UI.
3. The SQLite DB will be updated regularly as and when there is a need to
include the new entry.
4. We have to get this DB into Android Device (may be using FTPget) and
inform the Android Code abt it so that the UI can be populated.
5. Therefore, we would like to know what is the location we can put the DBs
file (using FTPget) and how can we indicate it in the Android Code.
6. Also we would like to know, if we install the application which has
SQLite DBs using the .apk file, where is the Database saved in an Android
Device.

In short, we get the DB from the server using FTP and use it to populate
the UI. As and when there is an update to the DB, the UI will inherit the
changes and populate the view.



We are developing a menu app for the restaurant. The SQL DB will be hosted
on the server with FTP service running. The updation of the DB will take
place at the server end like adding/deleting the menu. We would like to get
that DB onto our Android device and programatically use the DB entries to
populate the android UI.Hope I have explained it properly.Thanks

[android-developers] Intel x86 image for 4.1.2

[Simon Giddings]

I have installed the intel x86 image for 4.1.2 (API 16) via the SDK Manager.
Now, when I go into the AVD Manager and select a target of "Android 4.1.2 - 
API Level 16", it still automatically selects the ARM CPU/ABI and disables 
the dropdown list.

How do I get it to recognise that the x86 system image has been installed 
and is available ?

Anyway, you can access it with xml, or directly the database. And it isn't so 
hard to do that with xml. There are a lot of examples over the internet about 
that.

I, personaly, had never used xml until now (I'm creating a small app for the 
blog of a nonprofit organization I created). Still, I was able to find an 
example and change it to get the "featured image" of each post and so on.

All you have to do is look the source code of the page (you can see it with 
your bronser) and try to find a pattern in it. ;-)

[android-developers] Camera parameters - Scene modes

[Jim Graham]

I recently got a new Android phone, with an 8 MP camera.  It has a
scene mode that I'm not familiar with, and is not listed in the
Camera.Parameters page:  "asd".  If/when I ever finish my camera app
(when my tablet died, so did my only useful test platform...the new
phone has enabled me to get back to work on it, after another priority
is taken care of).  I'd like to add explanations for the not-so-obvious
stuff, like this "asd" scene mode.

Does anyone here know what this mode is, and what it does?  Is its use
limited to a given API level and above?  Or is it only limited by the
device that supports it?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Top Developer?

[Josh]

I just recently received a Top Developer badge (November, 2012).  I wanted 
to post my numbers for those who are curious.

I'm a part-time, doing-this-for-fun developer, and I'm the founder and only 
employee of Joko Interactive.  You can check out my apps 
here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Joko+Interactive.

I've got 4 live wallpapers which have been pretty successful, each has over 
a million free downloads.  My total downloads are somewhere around 6 
million.  3 of the 4 have been featured on the front page of the market, 
which I think has directly lead to both the high downloads and the TD 
badge.  They're all rated 4 stars or higher as well.

My first LWP that was featured was hand-picked by someone at Google who 
handles the Personalization section's featured stuff.  I just got an email 
saying they liked it and wanted to feature it.  My next two were featured 
soon after they were published with no correspondence.

I guess at some point my stats hit some red flags which puts me up for 
consideration for the TD badge.  I have no idea how that was handled, I 
wasn't notified of the change.  I just noticed the badge one day.

Hope all that helps!

Re: [android-developers] Google Docs Writer for Tablets

[TreKing]

This group is for developing apps with the Android SDK. If you have a
feature request for a particular app, you have to contact that app's
developer(s). I have no idea how you go about doing that for a Google app,
but it's not going to be acknowledged on this forum. I would start with the
Google Drive website and help sections, if there are any.

[android-developers] Force Screen Orientation Landscape crashes when in Portrait

[Rob Thompson]

setRequestedOrientation( ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE 
);
int orientation = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

orientation should equal ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE, but it 
does not.  It equals ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT.

Any solutions?

I was wondering about that, myself, and tried it out.  I didn't notice
any change (and I'm in a room that isn't all that well lit, and was
aiming the camera into an area that is even less well lit.  I've also
tried it in much darker areas, and never noticed any change in the
preview.  There ARE scene modes for dark, dark portrait, and candlelight
(side note:  the candlelight mode really works nicely).  I've tried
searching through the dev guide, google, etc., and haven't found anything
that appears to match.  Besides, scene modes, in virtually all cases that
I've seen on this new phone (asd and AR being the only exceptions, and
I'm 99.% certain that AR refers to AR ... Augmented Reality) have all
been spelled out.

I have a feeling that it's either going to be something incredibly
obvious once you know what it is, or incredibly strange.

What do you mean by GDocs?


Are you referring to the app called GDocs by WILDART?


If so, maybe get the paid version and maybe it will have what you want?

[android-developers] extend class and constructors

[Simon Giddings]

This may seem a bit basic, but I come from a C++ background and it is 
confusing me a little.

When I extend a base class, do I need to create a constructor for each base 
class constructor ?
What I mean is this. Given :

public class base
{
protected int m_iValue;

public base()
{
m_iValue = 0;
}

public base(int iVal)
{
m_iValue = iVal;
}
}

If I want to create a new class based on this base class, will I need to 
declare the two constructors again for them to be visible ?
The following seems to hide the second constructor of the base class.

public class Derived extends base
{
public Derived()
{
super();
}
}

What is the correct way to do this ?

Re: [android-developers] hi..

[Jovish P]

 Also we would like to know, if we install the application which has SQLite
DBs using the .apk file, where is the Database saved in an Android Device.

the sqlite database will be stored in the application directory. the user
can delete this if he goes to settings and "clear data".
then it will be a problem in ur case since u generating ui from the
database.

you can find your created database, named *
location ;  //data/data//databases/<
your-database-name>*

two options r there

restrict user from deleting application data using android:
manageSpaceActivity
="*string*", which is not a good solution
second check for the database every time whn user log in. if not download
it and populate the ui

Re: [android-developers] extend class and constructors

[Παύλος-Πέτρος Τουρνάρης]

No you don't need do. But if you want to call the base constructors you
just call super with the appropriate parameters.Also you can create new
constructors for your new class that extends the base one! For example!

public class base {
public base(){
   int i = 0;
}
}


public class newBase extends base {

public newBase(){
  super();//if you want to call the mother constructor
  int i=0;
}

}

[android-developers] Error Fetching 4.2.1 Source Code

[Dritan]

Hello,

I am trying to download the source for Android 4.2.1 using repo. I did a 
listing of all available branches:
  
  origin/android-4.1.1_r4
  origin/android-4.1.1_r5
  origin/android-4.1.1_r6
  origin/android-4.1.1_r6.1

  origin/android-cts-2.3_r10

  origin/android-cts-2.3_r12
  

as you can see there is a branch "  *origin/android-4.2.1_r1*  " which is 
what I'm interested in.

So then I go about to download this branch but all I get is *"error:

wht do u mean by "files in localhost" ?

if the files are under asstes folder of ur application and  u want to open

you can use

through this class we can easily access any files lying inside the Assets

[android-developers] Re: Display contents of a database in a listview

[lbendlin]

Define "contents of a database".  You probably meant a table in a database.

Seconded. It's the only reason we have it in our app, so users cannot

[android-developers] how to play a video on an OpenGL texture

[bob]

Does anyone know how to play a video on an OpenGL texture?

I tried something like this, but no dice:

int[] textures = new int[1];
GLES20.glGenTextures(1, textures, 0);
SurfaceTexture st = new SurfaceTexture(textures[0]);
Statics.mp.setSurface(new Surface(st));



try {
Statics.mp.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
Statics.mp.start();

This is basic Java. Check out http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ 

>

Please conform more or less to the Java coding conventions, particularly 
with regard to naming:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconv-138413.html

You don't extend constructors in Java.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.8
"Constructor declarations are not members. They are never inherited and 
therefore are not subject to hiding or overriding."

So the original question is flawed. 

What's going on is that

This is done for you automatically by the compiler. Adding 'super()' to a 
constructor 
implementation is a rookie move.

You need to add a super-constructor call when you need to specify an 
overload of 
the parent constructor, i.e., one with parameters. For the no-arg 
constructor it's a waste
of boilerplate.

You don't.

You only need to create a constructor that is required by the child class 
itself. It is not uncommon 
to use a no-arg child-class constructor that invokes a superclass 
constructor with arguments.

public class DynamicType
{
  final Class token;
  protected DynamicType(Class tok)
  {
if (tok == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null token"); }
token = tok;
assert token != null : "No IllegalArgumentException";
  }
  // more stuff ...
}

public class DynamicFoo extends DynamicType
{
  public DynamicFoo()
  {
super(Foo.class);
  }
  // more stuff ...
}

They won't be visible even if you do declare a bunch of constructors in the 
child class.

Constructors are not inherited.

Doesn't.

You only declared one constructor. You didn't hide any. If you want a 
constructor
that takes a parameter, you have to declare it. Check out the Java 
tutorials. 
 

> What is the correct way to do this ?
>

Forget C++.

Since constructors aren't inherited, you must explicitly call any no-arg 
super 
constructor that you wish used. You must write every constructor needed by 
the class itself. You don't need to invoke any super-constructors the child 
class doesn't need.

BIG WARNING!

Do not do too much in a constructor. Constructors' roles should be 
constrained to setting up INITIAL conditions only, and only those needed 
to construct the object itself, at that. It is a common mistake to cram too 
much logic into the constructor. The danger is that such logic perforce 
operates on an incomplete instance of 'this'. That is very bad.

CONSTRUCT IN CONSTRUCTORS. PERFORM IN METHODS.

Re: [android-developers] how to play a video on an OpenGL texture

You must call updateTexImage() on SurfaceTexture when a new frame is
available (use an OnFrameAvailableListener to be notified.)

Re: [android-developers] Error Fetching 4.2.1 Source Code

[Joman Chu]

origin is your local git repository's name for the AOSP remote repository.

Try the repo init again, but this time using -b android-4.2.1_r1, without
the origin/.

Also, this question might be better directed at the android-platform list.

Re: [android-developers] Problems with facebook sdk for android

[Francisco Marzoa]

Same problem here.

The only workaround I found was registering a credit card, so you are
trusted that way without verifying your phone.

Best regards,

[android-developers] Re: Why would SIGSEGV crash occur in Galaxy S3 Android WebView?

[Johnabre]

Hmm…I've still got a long way to go in narrowing this down to a simple test 
case, but I've gotten reproduction of the above SIGSEGV down to 2 HTML 
pages loaded from a plain webview app.  The webview simply starts up and 
loads the first page:

http://static0.kl-uswest.ec2.gumi.sg/static/android4crash/crash.html

The pages link to each other, and don't necessarily crash on the first 
view, but eventually they crash 100% on the Android 4.1.1 emulator and my 
Galaxy Nexus (4.1.1).  Note that the thread title is wrong - this 
definately isn't S3 only.

The interesting thing is,
- Using the webview inside my real app, loading 1 page (crash.html or any 
heavy HTML5 page) repeatedly is enough to cause the SIGSEGV.
- Using this plain webview app for testing, the two pages need each other 
to crash - just loading 1 page repeatedly will not die.
- Loading the pages in the Android 4.1.1 web browser, even the 2 pages 
aren't enough - it will die eventually but it takes many pages.

In terms of error location, there are different stack traces on the 
crashes, some related to stylesheets, others related to destructors at 
HTMLImageElement.  Android 2.x, iOS, any other browser is rock solid.

Javascript changes the DOM, and that appears to be enough to cause the 
crash here…but why?  
At first glance this strikes me as a garbage collection problem - my app 
would garbage collect earlier than the plain webview app because it has 
used more memory in other places.  I'm not getting memory error messages, 
however.  I'll continue working to narrow this down, but anyone with any 
ideas as to how to proceed or what might be the issue truly has my eternal 
undying affection.

Test App Code: 
http://static0.kl-uswest.ec2.gumi.sg/static/android4crash/CrashApp.zip
Test App APK: 
http://static0.kl-uswest.ec2.gumi.sg/static/android4crash/CrashApp.apk
All HTML resources: 
http://static0.kl-uswest.ec2.gumi.sg/static/android4crash/CrashHTMLPagFull.zip

Test App's startup code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
private WebView webView;
 
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); 
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()); 
webView.loadUrl("http://static0.kl-uswest.ec2.gumi.sg/static/android4crash/crash.html";);
}
 
}

Re: [android-developers] Reduce Battery Usage via Airplane Mode

[Robert Greenwalt]

It an interesting idea.

Note that toggling APM will consume more power than maintaining a
connection for some period.  If APM is on for long enough you can make this
a positive change.  If you have no coverage, it's definitely a positive
change.  Of course your texting, chatting, location services, basically
everything you have a smartphone for will be broken during that time - you
may as well have the phone off.  Even phone calls will fail during that
time.  Turning APM off may also be slow.  In some situations it may take
30s or longer to get a data connection, and then apps need to reconnect and
check for updates.

I'll enter a feature request.
