[android-developers] Platform Versions
I have been waiting for the Platform Versions to be updated since a few days. They have updated it the last couple of months but not in September. Can someone at Google look into this. http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: String being truncated when its long
First of all thanks everyone for replying.
I just discovered that the problem is not with my code but with the
number of lines that the logcat is displaying.
The problem was that I got a problem in my json reply format and my
parsing code spits an error. So I started trying to debug it by
printing the response json string in logcat. This is being truncated
always and I was guessing till now that the reply itself is being
truncated.
So today I started plying with the response string builder and has to
write funny snippets to count characters and detect the characters at
positions I was expecting and I found that the response was being
returned completely.
I also tested my code on some other large stings and I discovered that
the logcat has a limit on the length of the string that it displays or
atleast it looked so. That was why my responses were being displayed
as truncated strings and I thought that its the problem with my code.
So it is working fine as the code is earlier and the only problem was
that the logcat doesnot display the complete string. But it does not
cother me anymore for this problem.
Thanks again everyone for trying to help.

I wrote a little Twitter example on Android and just doing the
home_timeline query can return up to 200 tweets, each up to 140
characters, plus overhead. That's 10s of kilobytes per GET request.

My knowledge of the HTTP protocol is poor to begin with, and my bad
memory doesn't improve it, but I vaguely recall that a single HTTP
transfer is limited to 5000-odd characters (the precise number being
somewhat variable) by the packet sizes used in the network. But
normally the software used on each end should hide this sensitivity so
that you can deal in complete data streams up to some significantly
larger limit.
It could be that something in your config is causing this transfer
size to be exposed. It's also possible that your coding style is
opening you up to being sensitive to data stream values. In
particular, null may be being returned from readLine at the end of the
block, even though there is more data in the transmission. (I don't
know that such is possible -- just speculating.)
Finally, it's possible that the failure is occurring on the
transmission end, perhaps due to an EOF character embedded in the
source data or some such.

[android-developers] Listview in dialog is forcing the layout to fill the screen
I have a mapview with location overlay items. Now when the user clicks the overlay item pin/marker, I need to display a dialog with corresponding people at that location. Now since some places have more than one person at the same location, I am trying to display them as a list. this part works fine.I want the ListView Layout to be wrap_content[both width and height]. Now my problem is that the height works fine and expands to the correct height to display the list items, but the width always expands to the width of the screen. I have set all the widths in the list and the list items to be wrap_content but it still does the same. So I removed all the list items and tested it again and saw that it does it even when I have no list items. Now if I remove the list though and only use a single textview then it works fine. Here is my code that I use to inflate the layout. LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); LinearLayout dialogLayout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.location_list_dialog, null); LayoutParams mapDialogParams = new LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, geoPoint, -1, -22, LayoutParams.BOTTOM_CENTER); mapView.addView(dialogLayout, mapDialogParams); Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong or how can I make the listview to have the appropriate width as its children.

boolean shadow) {
OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(index);
GeoPoint geoPoint = item.getPoint();
LayoutInflater inflater =
(LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
LinearLayout dialogLayout =
(LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.location_dialog, null);
LayoutParams mapDialogParams = new LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
geoPoint, -1, -22,
LayoutParams.BOTTOM_CENTER);
mapView.addView(dialogLayout, mapDialogParams);
dialogLayout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

[android-developers] Re: Prevent application from showing up when dialing.
hmm I did not get this part. You do not want to use new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(tel://911)), since that will trigger the built-in Dialer application. Moreover, you do not want to implement an ACTION_DIAL Intent filter, since you are not a Dialer application. What I have in my app is an emergency number[911] button, which the users can click. So when they click on it I want to show them the dial menu with that number in it. new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL,Uri.parse(tel://911)) is doing that for me. So I implemented it in this way. I also have a few other pages which have other phone numbers and I am just replacing 911 with that phone#. I did what you said regarding removing intent filter and it is looking fine. This is what I did not understand though. Hence, use an Intent that more directly identifies your desired activity to start.

Actually, I notice now that you called it MyActivity in your sample code in your original message.

[android-developers] Prevent application from showing up when dialing.
My application has an emergency button which dials 911 when clicked on. Every thing on the app is working fine. But I just discovered that whenever I try to add another call when I am in a call, it promps me to complete the action using. 1. my app 2. The normal phone And when I click on my app, it just opens my app. I do not understand what is causing this and do not want my app to be shown in that list. Here is the snippet from manifest activity android:name=.MyActivity android:label=@string/main_header intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.DIAL / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / /intent-filter /activity uses-permission android:name=android.permission.CALL_PHONE / and here is what I have in my onClick method of the emergency button. Intent dial_911 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(tel://911)); startActivity(dial_911); why is this occuring and how can I prevent this from happening?

[android-developers] Standalone java code is not working in the same way from android.
Hi,
I am trying to integrate Google Health on android and am trying to use
a client login example which is working fine as a standalone java
program. But when I implement the same in android it gives me all
these errors. I guess I am missing some saxparser
libraries.
Here is the code that I am using. I am using the same code that was
used in the example code provided by google for client login.
Can someone let me know where I am going wrong or what I am missing.
GoogleService myService = new GoogleService(
health,My Application);
myService.setUserCredentials(username,
password);
// Get a list of all entries
URL metafeedUrl = new URL(https://
www.google.com/health/feeds/
profile/list);
System.out.println(Getting Health profile
entries...\n);
Feed resultFeed =
myService.getFeed(metafeedUrl, Feed.class);
ListEntry entries = resultFeed.getEntries();
for(int i=0; ientries.size(); i++) {
Entry entry = entries.get(i);
System.out.println(\t +
entry.getTitle().getPlainText());
profilesString +=
entry.getTitle().getPlainText()+ \n;
}
And here are my referenced libraries.
gdata-core-1.0.jar
gdata-client-meta-1.0.jar
gdata-client-1.0.jar
gdata-health-meta-2.0.jar
gdata-health-2.0.jar
gdata-media-1.0.jar
jsr305.jar
google-collect-1.0-rc1.jar
And this is the error log that I get.

Hi Kumar, You can use the official gdata libraries from google. Whats stopping you? I tried looking at the documentation and the code to see how I can access Google Health from android but could not yet find a way. Can you let me know How I can retrieve the user account info/token on android. Also how can I use this or atleast direct login[username/password] and use them to connect to Google Health. the documentation says that we need to register a domain with google health and use a signed request but since I want to use it from an app, I am wondering if there is another way to do this. Atleast an example which connects to any of the google's other services like mail/calendar etc., with a login or account authentication might help. thank you.

Works is the key word here. I'm guessing that works doesn't mean the app started!. I assume that this means in reality full regression testing against every sdk. Just doing automated tests to make sure you are not calling any older APIs is not a guarantee you will work. No, sorry I didn't mean to imply it would. I was thinking more of a profiler that highlighted potentially unsafe areas so that you can check them to make certain that they're properly protected. What I'm most concerned about is inadvertent introduction of later sdk calls. Sort of an SDK lint. In addition, it is typical for an application to take advantage of Java class loading to be able to use newer APIs if they are available (see for example my blog post on the new service APIs), and I don't see any way an automated tool could accurately determine whether that code is safe on an older platform. You just need to make sure you test your app in the key environments it will run. Full regression testing is really onerous. The problem here is that it's really really easy to fall into the pit trap here that you find out too late (ie, in the field). And the problem is only going to get worse and worse as time goes on.

Just doing automated tests to make sure you are not calling any older APIs is not a guarantee you will work. No, sorry I didn't mean to imply it would. I was thinking more of a profiler that highlighted potentially unsafe areas so that you can check them to make certain that they're properly protected. What I'm most concerned about is inadvertent introduction of later sdk calls. Sort of an SDK lint. In addition, it is typical for an application to take advantage of Java class loading to be able to use newer APIs if they are available (see for example my blog post on the new service APIs), and I don't see any way an automated tool could accurately determine whether that code is safe on an older platform. You just need to make sure you test your app in the key environments it will run. Full regression testing is really onerous. The problem here is that it's really really easy to fall into the pit trap here that you find out too late (ie, in the field). And the problem is only going to get worse and worse as time goes on.

[android-developers] Problem with setting progress indeterminate when using webView
I am trying to use a webview to display a webpage and let the users to
browse from the same WebView. I want to show them a progress
indeterminate when loading the pages. This works to an extent with the
code below but there is a bug in this code which I am not able to fix.
It displays the progress indeterminate correctly the first time the
page loads. But when clicked on the links it sometimes works fine and
sometimes it stops immediately though the WebView is still loading.

do this.

[android-developers] Re: Activity lifecycle problem on Nexus One - onStop not called
So I have modified my thread to be a singleton and mimplemented it
like this. Hope it helps someone else who might be facing the same
issue.
public class SingletonThread extends Thread{
private static SingletonThread _instance;
public static boolean IS_RUNNING = false;
private static Context mContext;
private SingletonThread(){
}
public synchronized static final SingletonThread getInstance(Context
context){
mContext = context;
if(instance == null){
instance = new SingletonThread();
}
return instance;
}
public synchronized void run(){
IS_RUNNING = true;
//Implement your requirements.
IS_RUNNING = false;
}
}
And whenever I call the getInstance, from any other UI thread, I will
check for IS_RUNNING also and will start the thread only if IS_RUNNING
is false/will wait till IS_RUNNING is false.
There might be better ways to do this, so please post your feedbacks,
Thank you.

[android-developers] Re: Activity lifecycle problem on Nexus One - onStop not called
Thank you Dianne, Its not even passing onStop and onDestroy at some point in the future. It is only doing it in some point in the future when more activities are started. I tested it 4-5 times and let it run for atleast 5 minutes. So I don't know how long I have to wait for the thread to close. Can anyone suggest a work around for this issue. I have a background thread which starts in the onCreate methos and which I close in the onDestroy method. But because of this bug in the sdk 2.1 my thread never stops. But when the user closes the app[onDestroy hasn't been called] and opens my application again, I try to create the thread in the onCreate. But after this is done at some point the onDestroy from the earlier activity is called which sends a messahe to my thread's handler to stop the thread. So the app runs now but the background thread doesnot run. Another problem that I face with the same issue is since the handle passes the message to stop the thread even while it is supposed to run, my events trigger actions where i have to write to database from the background thread. Now since that is null it shows the force close message. The only option that I see is to detect the build version each time my app starts and try to limit the things the user can do in those versions, which ofcourse is not much more than just undesirable thing. Please let me know if anyone has a workaround for this one. thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hey Dianne, Thank you for the tip on battery life. Will definitely try to make it as good as possible for the battery life.

[android-developers] Re: Activity lifecycle problem on Nexus One - onStop not called
I too have the same issue and Mark, we discussed it earlier in another thread. I was trying to use the onStop and onDestroy to stop Location updates and other background threads that I start from onCreate method. Here is what I observed. Here is what I have seen. I am using Nexus one [2.1]. Pressing on Home button or the Back button from my main activity does not call the onStop method or onDestroy method in this case Activities A, B. Activity A has a Button which starts activity B. Now when the activity A is started normally and it does not start another thread then the Back button from Activity A is called onStop and onDestroy. But if the Activity B is started from Activity A or if there is another thread that has been started from Activity A and if we come back to Activity A from Activity B and then press on the Back button, then onStop and onDestroy are not immediately called. But they are called after some other activity/application are opened. I even observed that they are not always immediately called after opening the same activity A. Sometimes they are called after activity A starts Activity B. 1. start A Press Back. onStop and onDwstroy called. 2. start A. Start another thread or activity from A and come back to A. Click on Back Button From A. onStop and onDestroy are not called. Start another application or the same application. onStop and onDestroy are sometimes[not always immediately] called. start opening more activities. onStop and onDestroy will be called at some point. 3. Start Activity A. Click on Home button. onStop is never called. [or atleast on two nexus one phones that I tested atleast a few times]. it will be called at a later point when another application or the same application is opened. And just like onStop, this is not in any predicted manner but is called at some point. On Mar 10, 10:07 am, Alex acni...@gmail.com wrote: I'm having a similar lifecycle issue on the Nexus One.

[android-developers] Re: How to close an activity when the user clicks on home button
I just tried it on an app I'm working on (Android 2.1), and onStop() was called at the point I pressed the HOME button. I am using Android 1.6 as I need to support all the phones which are working on that version also. And in this version or atleast for my situation its not working so. Are you doing anything unusual in your manifest vis a via android:launchMode or similar settings? Yes I was using launchMode=singleTask. I actually wanted singleInstance but somehow Voice recognizer is giving a connection problem when I use singleInstance. So just to see if it is working in the way you suggested, I tried removing all the launchMode etc in manifest and just left the activity name and label. This time onStop method or the onRestart method are never ever called. But these are being called when I set finishTaskOnLaunch to true in the manifest. Thank you anyway for the help and the suggestions. I atleast got it to work to the most extent if not stopping the updates and the activity on clicking home button. The other thing is that I expected my stack to be as it is and as soon as I open my app after hitting on home button, the activity which I was previously in will be opened. But it restarted the app itself. This is what I observed in my app. Say I have a main activity A and another Activity B. I come to Activity B from Activity A. Then I click on home button. It closes the app but does not yet call onStop on B. Now I open my app and it now calls onStop on Activity B. It starts Activity A again. Now only when I click on button for activity B, it calls onRestart method on Activity B. I just tried it with this same scenario (Activity A - Activity B - HOME), and again, onStop() was called at the point I pressed HOME. So am I doing something wrong or is it supposed to work in that way or is it a bug?

[android-developers] Re: How to close an activity when the user clicks on home button

[android-developers] How to close an activity when the user clicks on home button
I understand that trying to capture home button clicks is a hack, but I need to atleast close my current activity when the user clicks on home button. Is there anyway I can tell the system to close this activity is the user clicks on home button? If so how can I do that? I need to do it as I am listening for location updates and I want to stop the updates and also need to trash any location that was available to me previously. I need to do this just in case any user while in that activity clicks on home button and changes the location settings.

[android-developers] Re: How to close an activity when the user clicks on home button
Thank you Mark, I do know that I can you onStop method as it is supposed to be called when ever something else comes on to the screen (in this case the home page). But my situation is a little more complicated than that. I have an address field and an option for gps[if its switched on]. But in the bottom portion of the screen I will be loading my results based on the location. Now since I have loaded the results using the onCreate, its doing so. So I changed it to do all those things in the onStart method so that the Activity life cycle goes on smoothly. Thanks for the suggestion because of which I went through my Activity's lifecycle to see how everything is going on. But since I started trying to log everything to see the activity life cycle, what I observed is that onStop method is not actually being called when I click on home button. Its being called as soon as i open my app again, which is not how I wanted it to do. The locationUpdates should stop the moment the user hits home button. The other thing is that I expected my stack to be as it is and as soon as I open my app after hitting on home button, the activity which I was previously in will be opened. But it restarted the app itself. This is what I observed in my app. Say I have a main activity A and another Activity B. I come to Activity B from Activity A. Then I click on home button.

Then stop location updates in onStop(). This will get invoked: -- when the user presses HOME -- when the user pressed BACK (en route to onDestroy()) -- when the user takes a phone call -- when the user responds to a notification that brings up an activity -- etc. The one thing you may want to do is handle configuration changes yourself, so you won't be called with onStop() when the user rotates the screen. I need to do this just in case any user while in that activity clicks on home button and changes the location settings. I'm not sure what the location settings are. If you mean they disable GPS, your LocationListener should be notified of that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in US: 26-30 April 2010:http://onlc.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

But since there is a filesize restriction on the files in assets folder, I want to split the database files and then put them in the assets folder. Now when the user opens the app for the first time all i want to do is join these files and copy them to the device.

[android-developers] How can we change the view within the tabs?

[android-developers] Progress Dialog: how to pass context or adapter to the thread
I am trying to display a progress bar while download data and store it
in my database.
My problem is that I need to pass the database adapter or the context
to the thread.
This is what I have tried.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try{
adapter = dbInit();
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.progressDialog);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
showDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG);
}
});
}finally{
adapter.close();
}
}
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id){
switch(id){
case PROGRESS_DIALOG:
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(ProgressBarSample.this);
progressDialog.setMessage(loading message...);
thread = new MyThread(handler);
thread.start();
return progressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
private MyDbAdapter dbInit(){
adapter = new MyDbAdapter(this);
adapter.open();
adapter.deleteMyTable();
adapter.createMyTable();
return adapter;
}
final Handler handler = new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
int status = msg.getData().getInt(status);
if (status = 0){
progressDialog.setMessage(Downloading data part2...);
dismissDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG);
}
}
};
public class MyThread extends Thread{
private Handler myHandler;
int downloadStatus;
final String dUrl = MY_XML_URL;
public MyThread(Handler handler){
this.myHandler = handler;
downloadStatus = -1;
}
public void run(){
Message msg = myHandler.obtainMessage();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
downloadStatus = downloadTables(dUrl);
b.putInt(status, downloadStatus);
msg.setData(b);
myHandler.sendMessage(msg);
}
public int downloadTables(String xmlUrl){
int downloadStatus = 0;
try{
URL url = new URL(xmlUrl);
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance
();
SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();
XMLReader reader = parser.getXMLReader();
MyHandler handler = new MyHandler(adapter);
reader.setContentHandler(handler);
reader.parse(new InputSource(url.openStream()));
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e(Error: , + e.getMessage());
System.exit(0);
}finally{
downloadStatus = 1;
}
return downloadStatus;
}
}
}
but when I run this i get the following error.
I/ActivityManager( 57): Starting activity: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x1020
cmp=com.achie.test/.ProgressBarSample }

W/InputManagerService( 57): Got RemoteException sending setActive
(false) notification to pid 548 uid 10024
It looks like I cannot pass the adapter from the thread as I am doing
as its running as a separate thread and have to use handler to pass
it. Can anyone let me know how to do this.
thank you,
