[android-developers] Re: Reading expansion file in Android 6.0

[Alexey Danilov]

To resolve this problem for API 23 I download .obb file to private app's 
file directory instead of `obb` directory which my app hasn't access to. 
You can review my solution here 

 
.
Usage:

repositories {
maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/alexeydanilov/apk-expansion' }
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.danikula.expansion:expansion:VERSION@aar'
compile 'com.danikula.expansion:license:VERSION@aar'
compile 'com.danikula.expansion:zip:VERSION@aar'
}

See the latest versions here

Re: [android-developers] Re: terminating android application

[Alexey Redinskii]

If your activities host in different processes, you have to kill the
processes manually. Otherwise the command kills all activities hosted in
one process.

Re: [android-developers] Disabling/Hiding the Application ?

[Alexey]

Dianne, is it possible to disable other apps that I'm developing.
For example, I develop 2 apps, and then I develop third app that includes 
functionality of previous ones. Can I disable my old apps? Is it possible 
to add some common security id in manifest to do this 
using setApplicationEnabledSetting ?

[android-developers] Android USB host and hidden devices

[Alexey]

I am developing an Android application in which I have to communicate
to an USB device. I tried to use standart google API in my app, but
list of devices is allways empty.

Same things if i use USB device info with google api. List of devices
searched by google api is empty,

lsusb gives following results:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2226:0014

my device is 2226:0014

log of eclipse:

I/USB3G(92): event { 'add', '/devices/platform/sw-ehci.1/usb2/2-1',
'usb', '', 189, 133 }
I/USB3G(92): path : '/sys/devices/platform/sw-ehci.1/usb2/2-1'
I/USB3G(92): VID :size 5,vid_path '/sys/devices/platform/sw-ehci.1/
usb2/2-1/idVendor',VID  '2226
I/USB3G(92): '.

usb_modeswitch.d/2226_0014 &,
I/USB3G(92): excute ret : 0,err:No such file or directory

If i plug in devices like rs232 adapters, bluetooth dongle, nothing
happens,and there is no any result from API and lsusb.

Prtocol of a device is based on ezusb library. Android v.: 4.0.3
kernel v.: 3.0.8 firmware build: crane_evb-eng 4.0.3 IMLK74k 20120330

Is there are any way to access hidden USB devices via API?

Why I can find source for ServiceManager inside android 4.0.3 source

I have tested several apps. Google maps, mapquest, glympse. Only google

based on cell towers instead of using wifi. Im 100% sure that wifi location 
is available, because after about 20 minutes it starts using wifi.

[android-developers] Widget size problem

[Alexey Onuchin]

Hi to all,

I faced with one strange issue designing my widget layout.
At first I decided to make it 3x2 cells for all supported screens. So
I use minWidth=220dip and minHeight=146dip in my xml/widget.xml:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:minHeight="220dip"
android:minWidth="146dip"
android:updatePeriodMillis="0"
android:initialLayout="@layout/widget"/>

Then I designed several widget layouts - for mdpi, large-mdpi, ldpi
and hdpi - where:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
  android:id="@+id/Widget"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
...


So I expect that for all supporting screens the widget size will fit
3x2 cells, not more, not less.

But currently when I run it on emulator I see that my widget takes
more than a half of a screen for all supporting screens - 4x3 cells if
to talk that the max size is 4x4 cells (as it described here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html#sizes).

Even if I'll define exact layout_width and layout_height in my widget
layouts in dip it will still take 4x3 cells, just it's visible part
will have another size.

[Alexey Skor]

Same here... My library does not work on Android because of this bug (
https://code.google.com/p/redmine-java-api/issues/detail?id=13). Any updates 
on this?
I'm quite disappointed that Android uses something, which looks like Java, 
but is not really Java - so many incompatibilities... Sad.

[android-developers] Re: EglSwapBuffers

[Alexey Kryshen]

Hello!

5% for the SwapBuffer is not a big deal. It is possible it took the
90% of frame time under some circumstances.

Please note following:
1) SwapBuffer has implicit glFinish() semantic. All the GL commands
issued prior the SwapBuffer will be completed before actual swap is
occur. And it is can take the time.
2) eglSwapBuffer also involve something similar to the "VSync" and it
can take the time too.Please see the eglSwapInterval() in the EGL
specification for details
3) If you have issued extremely small number of GL commands per frame
then it can be just that they really executed faster compared to
SwapBuffer in respect to (1) and (2)

But in my opinion 5% is not the value to be bothered with.

Best regards, Alexey

[android-developers] Is the EGL_CONTEXT_LOST error is occur on the Nexus One or other real devices ?

[Alexey Kryshen]

Hello!

We are developing game for the Android platform using OpenGL ES for
drawing. The EGL specification states that EGL_CONTEXT_LOST error may
occur under some circumstances and there is constant in the Android
API for this error code, but we have never seen that error on real
Nexus One device (we are expected it when device is going sleep).

Is anybody was able to catch this error on the real devices ? I want
to know how I can get this error to check the correctness of codepath
handling this event.

Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Change drawable for indeterminate progress bar

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi all, i'm trying to change standard indeterminate progress bar from
rotating wheel to sequence of 3 images ( dots ).

What i have is a animation drawable defined as progress.xml :

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>



 

and progressbar defined as :

 

In general it works - however image is repeated for as much i have
space horizontally.  I think it's side effect of same kind of stuff
used in progress_indeterminate_horizontal.xml

Is there anyway to get rid of that repeating behavior ? Alternative,
as i understand would be change progressBar to ImageView with
animation drawable inside.

How you can register uncaught exception handler for third-party
activity if latter even runs in the another VM in separate process. It
is impossible, isn't ?

Activities stack doesn't mean all activity runs in your process.
Camera runs in separate process because it is another application at
all.

And you are somehow wrong with my application "stuck". It is logical
"stuck" - application is an state machine and after Picture requested
it is in the "Awaiting picture" state and only way to leave that state
is to receive
onActivityResult() to go further. But latter is not invoked and
application logically "stuck" in the "Awaiting picture" state. The
activity itself is normally worked, GUI thread is not blocked but
application awaiting response on startActivityForResult() forever. It
is a problem naturally.

I have already implement an "hack" to workaround the issue but not
happy with it. The hack itself exploit the other fact from
documentation that onActivityResult() must be invoked immediately
before onResume(). If startActivityForResult() was called and my
activity receive onResume() without onActivityResult() prior it I have
consider this like receiving RESULT_CANCELED. It is resolve the issue
but naturally looks like ugly hack.

Any other ideas ?

[android-developers] How to know if child activity exit by unexpected exception (onActivityResult() is not called)

[Alexey Kryshen]

Hello!

I have faced with issue about startActivityForResult() and
onActivityResult(). If child activity started by the
startActivityForResult() exit by unexpected exception the
onActivityResult() is not called and I have no any ideas how can I
handle this to get application working in a fail-safe manner ?

When my code runs child activity with startActivityForResult() it
awaits until onActivityResult() will be invoked to get working
further, but onActivityResult() is not calling and my code is "hang-
up" (logically).

So the question is how can I handle all possible ways the child
activity is finished (normally and by unexpected exception) to get
fail-safe code ?

I have check the documentation for this issue but have found nothing
relating issue.

Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Need advice on UI control/feature implementation

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi All , i have a requirement to have a control that visually is
similar to the expandable list. However on the expansion of the
section it should show something similar to the grid view. GridView
should properly respond to itemclicks and should not be scrollable and
expanded fully till the next section of the list item.
As we know it's not a good idea to mix scrollable controls on the same
screen, so i'm looking for alternative way of building such thing. Any
direction advice/ hints will be appreciated.

[android-developers] Video Playback freezes on 1.6 donut with opencore2

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

It looks like there is something wrong with the player (opencore), at
times, video playback will get stuck on one frame, and will stay there
for a long time.

If you look at the log, you can see that player started playing at
17:59:48, at that time it has already buffered 6 seconds of video.
Then at 17:59:53 the video and sound got stuck, while buffering kept
going on in the background

After 25 seconds (18:00:19) it resumed playing and buffer was already
at 36 seconds, and all this time the api report that it is playing,
meaning in the code, i don't know that video is stuck...

Any thoughts or suggestions? This started to happen in donut (1.6)
with the introduction of opencore2. I have never seen this problem in
with previous version of opencore (android versions <= 1.5)

Legend: the integers next to "current" and "buffer" are in seconds of
video. while "playerDriver buffering" are in percentages.

[android-developers] weird issues with resources on Verizon Eris.

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi all, i'll have more info tomorrow, once i'll have this device
again, but i was shown very weird stuff  today.
We've updated app with hi-res graphics for the Droid ( only
drawables ) around 4 days ago .
Resources organized
res
drawable
drawable-hdpi-v6
App was tested in working fine on devices droid, all tmo devices
including cliq, all sprint devices with both 1.5 and 1.6 roms, and
some unbranded European hero.
With eris behavior is like this - if i download app from the market
everything is fine. User reported he turned device off and then he
turn it back on, app seems to "lost" some images. For example launch
icon changed to the random image ( which was supplied with the app as
well) background was simply lost etc. Uninstall/reinstall helps, but i
think it's going to be till next reboot.
i'm realize that somehow it's related to the way i put the drawables
but not sure of what exactly is going on.
I'll try to get reproduce that tomorrow in the office.
If anybody have any idea what's going on on Eris build with res
selection - i really appreciate any help / hints.

[android-developers] Re: Person using Sprint Hero can't see application?

[Alexey Volovoy]

Most of the Heros running 1.5 , although upgrade afaik is available.
So minSdk should be 3 ( or you'll run into the same problem with CLIQ
users )
target SDK should be 4

[android-developers] Android 2.0 setImageResource(R.drawable.my_icon)

[Alexey Volovoy]

hi all , not sure if it's a bug or i'm using that in the wrong place.
If i have following line (s ) of code in onCreate ()
iconView.setImageResource(R.drawable.my_icon);
And ONLY if my device(Droid) or emulator running 2.0 in landscape it
cause activity go through lifecycle endlessly like described in this
thread :
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/d3d6f944c6167952
If i move code to onStart() - life is good again.
Weird thing it only happens if i'm testing 2.0 and only landscape. I
realize that onCreate may be not the best choice to put such things
in, but still it's weird that it doesn't work only in landscape.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Using MediaPlayer best practices?

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

You can register the buffering listener and save the current buffering
position.
You can also poll for current position say every second (using your ui
handler), and if current position did not change since last poll, show ui
message (or dialog).

[android-developers] Re: Using MediaPlayer best practices?

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

Preparing a mediaPlayer is the most expensive operation.
calling stop() or pause() and then start() works best for me. You can
also peek at the MediaPlaybackService for inspiration.

Why do you think it will get into the bad state?

[android-developers] HTC Hero (Sense UI) in emulator

[Alexey]

Is there a way to get HTC Hero system image for the emulator?

Sense UI has quite some changes to activities like Contacts. So
intents to select Phone number (new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
Phones.CONTENT_URI) ) work differently from default Contacts app, and
things like viewing Call Log ( new Intent
("com.android.phone.action.RECENT_CALLS"); ) do not work at all.
Is there a way to test my code against Hero device, beside getting
physical device.

 Thanks

Ok, Romain, this is clear. but what about performance?
In example, we have the ListView that should be filled with the data
from the server. When we will fill it on UI thread will it cause UI
freezing if we have a lot of elements (several hundred)?

[android-developers] Re: ListView/Adapter Crash in 1.6 only: illegalStateException. 1.6 bug?

[Alexey]

Romain, one more question. Is this rule applicable for adding/removing
elements from adapter (in other words - changing number of elements in
ListView) or also when changing content of elements?

[Alexey]

Romain, your answers are clear, but confusing. As I understood
modifying adapter should be done in worker thread and only
notifyDataSetChanged in UI thread.
Now as I see the concept is different, but what if we need to add
several hundred items into adapter, won't UI thread be in freeze for
this time?

[android-developers] Re: Dynamic Image loading from Resources in ImageView

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

you can place your images directly under assets directory, and then
use getResources().getAssets().open("path to file");

[android-developers] Re: Widgets ( frequent updates )

[Alexey Volovoy]

that's what i did. it is set to 0. and i'm updating via alarm manager.
and i'm scheduling with setInexactRepeating(). Further looking into
the log tonight - it's is working, i had some cases with 5-10 minutes
without logging an update. Of course my update will join any other
update that wakes device up ( gmail, twitter feed etc ). Bottom line -
it's working as designed, but due to the nature of the widget it's
still be nicer to base updates on the screen state rather on device
state. I'd rather cancel all alarms if screen is off and start
scheduling new ones once it back on..
Rationale behind frequent updates - if i'm not rotating headlines in
visible fashion people complain that widget is "not working". Service
is basically just puts new headline and image on RemoteViews.

[Alexey Volovoy]

Oh man.. that not going to fly .. I can't do it from the service,
because service runs like for a second to update the widget and
stopSelf(). So if i register something onStart() i'd have to
unregister that onDestroy(). Therefore to actually catch that event
while service is running becomes kind of tricky.
Sigh.. still don't understand why the hell it running updates during
the sleep...

Hm.. let's say i'm not going to schedule next update via alarm if
screen is off. Service will shut itself down. Then screens is coming
back what will listen to that broadcast ?
My goal is eliminate service runs while i don't need to, not minimize
amount of work service does during the run.

Thanks for reply Dianne - my worry is that 30 sec interval for update
is not enough to let device fall asleep and my updates basically
prevent that. I've tried to disconnect device for an hour or so and
it's still updating according to the logs. Do you have any
recommendation of how i can update widget frequently when device is
awake and screen is on and don't update at all while it's sleeping ?
I'm using alarm manager now and the android:updatePeriodMillis="0" in
the appwidget-provider

I don't set any WakeLocks . So yes it's seems to be something is
preventing device to go to sleep .. And i think it's my frequent
updates. I set go to sleep on red button via spare parts which will do
this:
07-29 14:59:39.986: DEBUG/WindowManager(58): I'm tired
mEndcallBehavior=0x2

then i see this

Well.. i've tried to use alarm manager like:
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService
(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, nextUpdate, pendingIntent);
thinking behind it was - if devices is not a sleep, i'll loop through
my headlines in 30 sec interval. If it goes a sleep i don't need to do
anything.
Well after putting devices to sleep i still see updates. It's
obviously i'm doing something wrong but have no idea what exactly..

[android-developers] Re: Error on SharedPreferences for AppWidget

[Alexey Volovoy]

I think it's an issue with exiting config activity before saving
widget settings. Put some logging around create/delete widget and in
the service and see how many widgets you're ended up getting while
rotating screen
Log.d(TAG, " appWidgetId=" + appWidgetId);
You can put some logging around updates too.

[android-developers] Bitmap memory leaks with onClick...

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi All i have strange memory leak with Bitmaps. First what i have - an
activity that based on the workspace view from Launcher ( 3 screens
current prev + next ) . This layout is supplied with adapter , so then
i flipping left/right it loads next view.
The views that adapter is providing is an ImageView (picture) with
decodeBitmap + TextView(Caption).  I also have on click listener that
is set on the views that toggles captions which calls this:

public void onToggleCaption() {
mAdapter.toggleCaption(); // sets boolean if is should display
caption
int currentScreen = mImageLayout.getCurrentScreen(); // 
remembers
current screen number.
mImageLayout.removeAllViews(); // Removes all three children
mImageLayout.setCurrentScreen(currentScreen); // Set back 
everything
back ( but now adapter will show or hide captions )
}

When i call this from the menu - everything is just fine. Heap stays
same +/- 1K. If i execute this code via onClick listener - i'm loosing
memory quite quickly and in about 20th iteration - VM out of budget.

adapter.public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent) {
View newView = null;
byte[] mFullImage;
Enclosure enclosure = (Enclosure) getItem(position);

if (convertView != null)
newView = convertView;
else {
LayoutInflater layout = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
newView = layout.inflate(R.layout.image_layout, null);

}
//TODO - this can be optimized
ImageView iView = (ImageView) newView.findViewById(R.id.image);
TextView tView = (TextView) newView.findViewById(R.id.caption);

Bitmap image = null;
// mFullImage is a byte[]
mFullImage = enclosure.getImage();
if (mFullImage != null) {
try {
image = 
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(mFullImage, 0,
mFullImage.length);

} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.w(TAG, e);
}
}

if (image != null) {
iView.setImageBitmap(image);
String caption = enclosure.getContent();

if (!caption.equals("") && mShowCaption) {
tView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
tView.setText(caption);
} else {
tView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
newView.setClickable(true);
return newView;
}

[android-developers] Re: How to Handle Multiple Adapters for one ListView

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

If you would like to animate your transitions, where one list slides
out and second slides in, all you need is two listviews. And in your
activity, you would need to keep track of one that is currently
visible, and the other one, that is invisible.
When there comes a point that you need to switch listviews, your logic
becomes something like this:

ListView oldView = this.currentList;
ListView incomingView = this.invisibleList;
this.currentList = incommingList;
this.invisibleList = oldView;

this.slideOutAnimation.setAnimationListener( .. code here,
onAnimationEnd(oldView.setVisibility(View.GONE));

incomingView.setVisiblity(View.VISIBLE);

incomingView.startAnimation(this.slidInAnimation);
oldView.startAnimation(this.slideOutAnimation);

[android-developers] Re: Media AspectRatio

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

Is the aspect ration is really different, or do you think youtube app
just re sizes video to fit the screen?

You can dynamically adjust SurfaceView layout parameters to take all
you screen, maintaining aspect ration.

[android-developers] Re: Associate app to open email attachments

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

You are correct that you should use contentResolver.openInputStream
(uri), to get the data from gmail attachments.

Default Email app, is very dumb and is hardcoded to only open audio
and image attachments.
(disclaimer, that was the case 6 month ago, the last time i looked at
it).

[android-developers] Re: Image

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

You can create your class that will extend from ImageView.
at some point store a Drawable of the small image as an instance
variable.

overwrite
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
  super.onDraw(canvas);
  mDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawableWidth, drableHeight);
  mDrawable.draw(canvas);
}


This will draw your smaller image (mDrawable), in the top left corner.

[android-developers] Re: Widgets ( frequent updates )

Skip the work is not a really good option in my case. I have very
little work to do, get next headline and push widget update. So it's
probably will spend equal amount of time of starting and stopping
service
alarm manager , yes it's really good option and you don't need set
very long time - setting it to 0 does the job.

[android-developers] Widgets ( frequent updates )

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi All , i'm looking for the best strategy for the following -- widget
suppose to go through cached headlines. And once a 3 hours or so -
pull new ones.
Update are scheduled from widget config file. Everything seems to be
working, except I don't want to running my updates which are simply
changing info on the screen while phone is sleeping. What's the best
strategy to avoid that ? Desired  behavior - phone is not sleeping -
i'll run update which will change headline to next one and check if
there is  a time to pull new headlines. If phone is sleeping - i don't
want to do any of that.

[android-developers] Theme.Dialog Activity and Context Menu

[Alexey Volovoy]

Hi All , i have dialog style activity
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"

When i attached context menu to it
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

MenuItem item = null;
item = menu.add(0, Menu.FIRST, Menu.NONE, "Test Context Menu in
Dialog Theme");
item.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_edit);

return true;
}

The menu appears about 50 px from the bottom of this dialog. So if
activity screen is too small - it right in the middle of the screen.
Is there any way to anchor  menu to the bottom of the screen ?
layout :

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

[android-developers] Re: Capture the Android's browser HTTP petitions

[Alexey Krasnoriadtsev]

You can create your own Browser application, that will allow proxy
configuration. You can also take original Browser app as the base
(it's available in git).

Those users who need proxy will be able to install your browser
application and use it.
