[android-developers] Re: Image to Video Converter In android

2013-08-02 Thread bobbybrend

Videos are encoded in many different formats for different devices and it 
is necessary to convert your videos to a format compatible with the Android 
operating system. Professional video conversion applications are expensive, 
but there are many free programs available for Macintosh and Windows 
operating systems that can convert your videos to play on Android mobile 
devices.

[android-developers] ContentResolver insert return null on 4.3

2013-08-02 Thread eli

This code works on all Android versions except on 4.3:

   ContentValues content = new ContentValues(4);
content.put(Video.VideoColumns.TITLE, "vid.mp4");
content.put(Video.VideoColumns.DATE_ADDED,
System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
content.put(Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/mp4");
content.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, "/sdcard/vid.mp4");
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
   * Uri uri = 
resolver.insert(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,*
*content);*

On 4.3 *uri *is null.
Can someone help?

Thanks,
Eli

[android-developers] Re: Do SQLiteDatabase references "go stale"?

2013-08-02 Thread Nobu Games

Oh my... when I think about that, I have a pretty old first generation 
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000). Its internal storage memory seems to be dying and 
quite a few apps behave erratically, including crashes and data loss. 
Sometimes it's stuck in an "infinite" reboot loop. So I'm pretty sure it 
won't last for too long.

I guess these are also probably things to watch out for when talking to 
customers (how old is their phone, do they store data on an external SD 
card, because these things can also break and silently corrupt your data. I 
lost a lot of photos and MP3s because of that :-)

It would be great if there were some system level tool for non-rooted 
devices to make a proper file system and storage integrity check...

[android-developers] Yet another EGL_BAD_MATCH problem. How to do it the right way? For all devices?

2013-08-02 Thread Nobu Games

I have another rather rare problem with OpenGL ES which has to do with the 
dreaded EGL_BAD_MATCH problem.

I do know that there is a correlation between the following factors that 
yield that problem and make the game crash:

1. The Android device is most of the time rather old with a dated Android 
version (API level 8 to 10)
2. I explicitly set the surface view holder's pixel format to RGB_888
3. I request the following configuration: setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 
16, 8); (I have to admit that I probably don't need a 16 bits depth buffer, 
but I do need the 8 bits stencil buffer)

What I have read so far about this problem is the following "silver bullet" 
solution: just create your own config chooser. I get that point. But even 
then developers say on some forums  that it crashes on some devices, so 
apparently it's pretty difficult to find a good matching configuration that 
doesn't make OpenGL ES crash.

How to approach that problem reliably without having all these gazillion 
Android devices at your hands? Is there a good recipe for that, like a 
solid generic implementation of a chooser?

Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: ContentResolver insert return null on 4.3

2013-08-02 Thread Nobu Games

I just had a quick peek at the API level 14 source code and it looks like 
there are two possible reasons for that problem:

1. The actual ContentProvider the ContentResolver connected to returns null 
on insert (for whatever reason, that is a mystery)
2. A RemoteException was thrown during the insert operation. The exception 
is caught by the ContentResolver and it returns just null instead. The 
reason for that is (according to the source code comment) that the process 
/ app is about to die anyway.

Other ContentResolver methods behave exactly the same. Also the query 
methods. It can - without a warning - just return null, even though it 
works in your tests a million times.

You therefore need to check the result for null and come up with a strategy 
for coping with that problem, like scheduling a re-query or checking if 
your activity is about to be finished.

[android-developers] Re: GLSurfaceView lag/delay on Galaxy S3.

2013-08-02 Thread Nobu Games

Hi Edvinas,

I need to ask again, because I think that may be the cause of the delay: 
how do you communicate the touch events to your rendering thread? Because 
Android can bombard your UI thread with lots of touch events in no time. 
But your rendering thread needs to "peek" before updating the game state in 
regular intervals into the current state of touch input. It's your game 
loop / rendering thread that needs to dictate the rhythm in order to 
synchronize the "whole experience".

What I do in my game is the following:

1. Touch input event handler receives all motion events on UI thread
---> converts motion event data into a custom data structure and puts it 
into one queue that belongs to UI thread

2. Simultaneously the game loop / render thread updates the game state and 
checks for input first:
---> It requests the data from touch handler in a thread safe manner 
(synchronized)
---> Touch handler internally swaps motion data queue A with a 
secondary motion data queue B
---> Touch handler returns queue A to game loop
---> Game loop / render thread processes queue data and recycles all motion 
data structures (so they can be re-used in order to avoid garbage 
collection activity)

And that repeats like this and these two queues get always swapped. That 
way you let your game loop determine the pace.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ContentResolver insert return null on 4.3

2013-08-02 Thread Nobu Games

Sorry Eli,

I should have read your code more carefully. You're hard-coding file paths 
in that insert request which is bad practice. You cannot assume that there 
paths like "/sdcard/..." on all Android devices. They can be named 
completely differently depending on device / manufacturer and especially on 
Jelly Bean there's  something like a "virtual file system" for supporting 
multiple user accounts and these file paths look totally different.

You should make use of the context.getExternalStorage(...) and related 
methods (also look into the Environment class).

Maybe the hard-coded file path is the problem there?

The thing is, Google changed the functionality of the insert, seems that

[android-developers] in-app purchase of another app?

2013-08-02 Thread Steve Gabrilowitz

I have an app that has been in the play store for a while with 2 different 
flavors:  an ad funded free version and an ad-free version with all the 
exact same features.  Now I am adding a bunch of new features and want to 
make a 3rd flavor so that users can choose whether they want to pay extra 
for the extra functionality.  The question here comes how to handle my 
current customers of the "lite" version, I want to give them an upgrade 
opportunity and not make them pay full price for the "pro" version.  Way 
back when I started working on the "pro" features what I had planned to do 
was to have those folks who wanted to upgrade just buy the pro version 
normally, and I would give them a partial refund.  But now "pro" is almost 
ready for release and Google has taken away my ability to issue a partial 
refund, and even my ability to look up an order by name or e-mail (I HATE 
that, WHY did they do that?)

What would be ideal would be if I could allow them to purchase the pro 
version from the play store at a discount if they do it via an in-app 
purchase from within the "lite" version.  Is such a thing possible?  If so, 
can I get a pointer or 2 on how to implement it or if not then any other 
ideas on how to accomplish my objective?

Thanks

AFAIK, partial refunds was never something you could do. It was an option
in the Google Checkout interface, but it was not actually possible to do
it. It's all or nothing.

Maybe I haven't been updated to the latest and greatest Wallet experience,
but I can still do that ...

Sounds like you have to add the features to your "lite" version, locked
behind an in-app purchase. I don't think you can do what you want with two
different paid versions.

Side note: adding an in-app purchase to already paid app is probably not
going to fly well with most users. Good luck.

[android-developers] Re: Do SQLiteDatabase references "go stale"?

I have got back two nonfatal exception reports. I can't match them to any 
particular user yet. 

When attempting the open. 
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException unknown error (code 
14): Could not open database
From:

Another, when checking for a record's existence:

They appear to be pretty rare. No sign it is tied to a corrupt database.

So you will then have three apps in market? lite(free with ads), full(paid, 
no ads), and pro(paid, extra features)?

The question here comes how to handle my current customers of the "lite"

What do you owe these guys that have always been too cheap to pay your full 
version? And are they the type that ever buys paid apps, anyway?

And meanwhile, the guys who paid for your ad free version, they do have to 
pay again?

Seems a little backwards, but I probably don't understand.

If you are doing that much manual work for each user, I'd charge them 
extra, not less. 

The number of users who will be motivated to buy based on a few dollars of 
discount that requires them to contact you might not be very high - but 
maybe that's what you are counting on, you won't have to pay many of the 
refunds.   

Here's another option - use a house ad announcing to users of your lite 
version of a special date and time when they can get the other version at a 
reduced price. They will be the only ones to know about it, and you can 
change the price temporarily in the console.

Or, as with me, it could turn out to be the smartest thing you ever did and 
fly extremely well. Just saying and YMMV and so forth.
