Re: [android-developers] HOW MUCH DOES GOOGLE CHARGE APP DEVELOPERS WHEN A CUSTOMER PURCHASE YOUR APP?

[Andrew Brampton]

I literally copied and pasted your subject line into Google.com and it took
me to this page:

Google takes 30%, Developer keeps 70%.

Re: [android-developers] Question About GPS while on the phone

[Andrew Brampton]

From what I understand, ATT uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA, which are
different technologies. So it is some what carrier specific only
because each US carrier offers a different technology.

 Are you sure it's not carrier specific? The reason I ask is because I have 2

 my boss's phones cannot.

 That part isn't a huge deal though.

 It's not a carrier fault. Some data xfer standards (i.e. EDGE) cannot
 operate while doing phone call. If you use GPS receiver then it's completely
 different hardware and not interfere with phone radio. However if you want
 to use cell traingulation instead of GPS receiver then it needs data
 connection to map cells to certain location. And it of course may be not
 available when on the call if the situation I formerly described occur

Re: [android-developers] settings - is this a ListView ?

[Andrew Brampton]

This is a ListView, as it is quite easy to have every row different.
But in fact that Activity is most likely a PreferenceActivity[1] that
takes a lot of the hassle out of creating a ListView and simplifies
handling preferences.

[android-developers] Two problems with SeekBars, one with ListViews, and one inside a PreferenceActivity

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I've identified a problem with a SeekBar being inside a ListView, and
a problem with a SeekBar being inside a Preference on Android 2.2. I'm
trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or this is a
limitation/bug of Android.

The first problem with the ListView is that I am unable to use the
trackball/arrow keys to move the SeekBar when it is inside a ListView.
This seems to apply to all versions of Android 1.5-2.2. The following
simple example shows this:

public final class TestActivity extends ListActivity {

public SeekBar makeSeekBar() {
SeekBar s = new SeekBar(this);
s.setMax(10);
s.setKeyProgressIncrement(1);
return s;
}

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setListAdapter(new BaseAdapter() {

@Override
public int getCount() {
return 5;
}

@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return null;
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, 
ViewGroup parent) {
return makeSeekBar();
}
});
}
}

The previous example code creates a ListActivity with a simple
ListAdapter which displays 5 SeekBars. Each SeekBar seems to work
correctly when in touch mode, but I am unable to move the bar left of
right by using the arrow keys (in the emulator) or the trackball (on
my G1). If I instead make a Activity with a SeekBar in it, then the
arrow keys/track ball can easily move the SeekBar left and right. Is
this a limitation? or just an oversight? or am I missing something?


The second problem (with led me to the first problem), is I have a
custom Preference class called SeekBarPreference, which if you can't
guess displays a SeekBar on a PreferenceActivity. It doesn't display
the SeekBar in a popup dialog, but instead directly in the
PreferenceActivity[1]. This works great in touch mode, unless I use
Android 2.2. On Android 2.2 it seems every time I start to slide the
bar left or right, as soon as it moves one notch a onStopTrackingTouch
is received, and the bar no longer slides. So basically the SeekBar
will only move to where you click and no longer slides. Under Android
1.6-2.1 the slide behaviour worked fine!.

I did some debugging, and the call stack from the onStopTrackingTouch
is as follows:
SeekBarPreference.onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar) line: 110
SeekBar.onStopTrackingTouch() line: 115 
SeekBar(AbsSeekBar).onTouchEvent(MotionEvent) line: 311 
SeekBar(View).dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent) line: 3766
RelativeLayout(ViewGroup).dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent) line: 936 
LinearLayout(ViewGroup).dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent) line: 936   
LinearLayout(ViewGroup).dispatchDetachedFromWindow() line: 1148 
ListView(ViewGroup).removeDetachedView(View, boolean) line: 2333
AbsListView.access$2700(AbsListView, View, boolean) line: 72
AbsListView$RecycleBin.addScrapView(View) line: 4068
ListView.layoutChildren() line: 1514
ListView(AbsListView).onLayout(boolean, int, int, int, int) line: 1147  
ListView(View).layout(int, int, int, int) line: 7035
FrameLayout.onLayout(boolean, int, int, int, int) line: 333 
FrameLayout(View).layout(int, int, int, int) line: 7035 
PhoneWindow$DecorView(FrameLayout).onLayout(boolean, int, int, int,
int) line: 333
PhoneWindow$DecorView(View).layout(int, int, int, int) line: 7035   
ViewRoot.performTraversals() line: 1045 
ViewRoot.handleMessage(Message) line: 1727  
ViewRoot(Handler).dispatchMessage(Message) line: 99 

From this I can see that the ListView is removing the view with the
SeekBar in it (inside removeDetachedView) which calls
dispatchDetachedFromWindow and fires a MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL
event, causing the Tracking to stop.

I have not been able to figure out why the ListView is detaching the
SeekBar's view, and this does not seem to happen in my simple ListView
case. I will continue to debug the problem and generate a simple test
case others can use, but I thought I better ask.

thanks for any help on either problems
Andrew

[1] Shameless plug, but if anyone wants to see the SeekBarPreference
in action, download my new app MusicGrid and view the settings. As I
say the problem only appears on 2.2 phones.

[android-developers] List of Android Devices with specifications to use in Emulator

[Andrew Brampton]

Hi,
I'm going to try something here, and hopefully it'll work.

I've written a few apps and occasionally I'll have someone email me
saying it doesn't work correctly on their phone. As I don't have
access to their phone I try and recreate their device in the emulator
by using the same Android version, screen size, and whatever else I
think is important.

Until now I've been keeping a list of all the different specifications
of the devices, as I couldn't find a good list online. So I figure
today I'd put what little research I've done into a spreadsheet and
share it with the Android community. What I also hope is that people
will start to add devices that I'm missing.

So please take a look at this spreadsheet and fill free to edit it (in
a sensible way). If there is another column of data you would like to
add then feel free and hopefully any blanks will be filled in.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlXAdnQtmZFZdHBBcnBmNlkwU0JxSGVaWnJyRC1nc0Ehl=en_GBauthkey=CL2OsNkG

Thanks
Andrew

P.S Of course in a perfect world we shouldn't need such as list as our
apps should just work on any Android device, but I've noticed a few
minor quirks which have annoyed me in the past.

 project, the library and application source folder Must be named
 'src' (sadly I name them java since I work with the NDK...). I am not
 sure weither it would work if my source folder was inside 'src' (e.g.
 like 'src/java'). Also It is not working if your library src folder is

 How does your library project depend on the (standard?) java project?

 From the refactoring feature point of view, both projects are Java

 library feature?
 (Now, after participating in this thread a couple weeks back, I have
 been to busy to see if linked folders in Eclipse have poor refactoring
 support, so there may be issues there. I'll try that soon hopefully)

 Anytime you touch a java file in a some advanced way (renaming,
 moving, extracting, refactoring) the android plug-in does nothing,
 it's all the JDT.

 In the end, I think dealing with the pain of refactoring might be
 worth it if the library really provides benefit once the refactoring
 is done, since this should be a one time thing, but you're going to
 use your library many times in various projects (I would expect, or
 you wouldn't need the library in the first place)

 I report the result by using onPostExecute.

 Android guarantees that during a configuration change, no message will
 be posted to 'the' activity inbetween an onDestroy and an onCreate (i
 remember a post by Dianna about this).

 This means that the result from the onPostExecute either arrives
 before the activity is destroyed or after it is created (during a
 configuration change).

 I give the requests unique IDs and save these IDs within the 'last-
 configuration-change' object. When the onCreate is called, i get the
 'last-configuration-change' object and restore these IDs in the new
 activity instance.

 When the onPostExecute finishes, it queries which activity of the
 expected class is on top of the activity stack of my app. If it finds
 one, the result is sent to this activity and handled by it. If it
 can't find one, the activity has been paused (hidden) or permanently
 destroyed and the user is no longer interested in the result.

  I don't have that issue. When configuration changes take place, no new
  requests are duplicated and existing ones just keep going, as long as
  you put the AsyncTasks in a static context (not an (activity) instance
  context).

 Maybe I'm making an assumption about how you are using AsyncTask, but
 what happens in the gap between the old Activity being destroyed and
 before the new one has been created. What happens to the result in
 that gap as you have no valid Activity to display the result? Either
 you are losing your response, or you have to re-request it (hence
 duplicate network usage). Or I guess you could be storing the result
 temporary in your Application class?

[android-developers] Developing Android REST client applications

[Andrew Brampton]

I've watched many of the Google IO talks and one that I'm trying to
reproduce is Developing Android REST client applications[1]. In this
talk Virgil suggests you should not execute your RESTful queries
inside a Thread/AsyncTask spawned from your Activity (which I had been
doing), instead you should use a more complex architecture that uses a
combination of a ContentProvider and a Service.

From what I understood the reason for this design was so your data was
more persistent between app restarts, and so your queries don't
disappear if your Activity starts/stops (e.g on a screen rotation). I
buy into both those reasons hence I'm trying to implement this.

On the slides[2] page 45 We have an Activity calling a
ContentProvider. Now the ContentProvider checks its local database, if
the content is not there it sends an Intent to a service which fetches
the content, inserts it into the ContentProvider, then the
ContentProvider calls back to the Activity (with a ContentObserver)
and the Activity can carry on. The question I have is how is this
callback setup. The ContentProvider exposes simple methods, query,
insert, update, delete which don't seem easy to adapt to a callback
interface.

It could be implemented by a Cursor which is designed to block, but
that could be problematic as you don't' want to block your UI Thread.
I'd appreciate if anyone could make this clearer to me, or show me
some code. I'm hoping the Twitter app will be open sourced soon which
apparently uses this architecture.

thanks
Andrew

 The ContentObserver *is* your callback. You call
 registerContentObserver() to say that you want to find out about certain
 changes to the content, supplying a ContentObserver. That observer will
 be called with onChange() when such a change occurs.


On, so you call query() on a ContentProvider, which returns a empty
Cursor, call registerContentObserver on it, then when the Cursor
eventually gets the data your call back is called and you begin to use
the Cursor. That makes sense.


 I haven't watched the presentation yet but I did read through the
 slides. Off the cuff, the architecture presented there will probably
 work well for something that is pretty truly RESTful, where the REST API
 specifically is designed for inserting, updating, and deleting data. So,
 for example, I can easily see the Twitter API fitting their proposed
 architecture, at least for the timeline, but perhaps only for read
 operations.

I watched that presentation (and then many others) after reading your
suggestion on your blog. BTW Thanks for your blog, help and book (even
though admittedly I've not looked at your book).


 I'll have to experiment with their structure sometime and see if I can
 create some reusable bits to reduce the complexity. Based on the slides,
 this doesn't feel terribly easy for a developer to implement.


I was missing this Cursor registerContentObserver method, but I feel I
can implement this myself and put it on github. If you want I can
email you when I'm done.

thanks
Andrew

 I still need to watch this talk... when i get some time :-)

 Right now i'm working on a project for my job that involves a REST-ful
 client on Android and a REST server.

 I have not implemented the REST-communication on the client using a
 ContentProvider and Service. I did do that a good year ago with
 another project (Smugmug REST) and it's elegant, but I found that it
 is not really necessary.

 In my current project, I've implemented the REST-communication using
 AsyncTask and the 'Restlet for Android' library. The AsyncTask holds
 on to an application-context (not the context of an activity, since
 that could introduce memory leaks) and keeps track of pending REST-
 requests in an object passed around by through 'last-configuration-
 instance'. By not using a ContentProvider/Service, the callback
 mechanisms has been simplified a *lot*.



Thanks for your input. Holding onto the application context is
actually the way I'm doing it now, using the Droid-fu[1] library which
simplifies things a lot. However, that approach can still lose
responses or duplicate network usage if the Activity is
destroyed/created while the AsyncTask is doing its job.

I would be interested to hear other people's opinions on this matter.
But for no reason other than it be interesting to see how well it
works I am going to try the Service/ContentProvider approach.

Re: [android-developers] Bug/Issue tracker a joke!

[Andrew Brampton]

I would agree that the bug tracker needs more developers looking at
it, and this was mentioned at Google IO during one of the discussions.

However, I have to say the bugs I have reported have been assigned and
fixed promptly, but my bugs have mostly been minor, and weren't
feature changes.

But I still agree the Google needs to improve their response to bugs,
and for their developers to ignore, OR outright refuse without reason
changes. For example, one suggested change I found earlier today[1]
was replied with Thanks for the feedback, but this behavior is
working as intended., when the bug was about extending the behaviour
to make it far more useful.

 I find astounding, rude and arrogant the complete disregard with which
 Google treats people attempting to access help on the tracker.

 Thread after thread - even ones that are 18+ months old, with 400+
 posts and nearly 1000 stars, have gone completely unanswered - look at
 the Wifi/Proxy issue for instance, or the Gapless audio, or even the
 3g-to-WiFi switching issues that has many hundreds of posts and only
 towards the end is there even a luke-warm response from Google! But no
 ownership or actual interest.

 Most of the tickets are still, perversely, marked as New even after a
 year of people begging, pleading, demanding solutions!! No owner
 allocated.

 I could understand if somehow the development resources available to
 the world's fastest growing and probably most successful mobile OS
 were limited - but given the fanfare, hype, etc from Google, that
 seems unlikely. But the VERY LEAST someone could do is respond to
 these poor bastards, and acknowledge their pain, even if it is just to
 say we are too busy to address this right now.

 But no, the response is, no response. Deafening silence. The rudeness
 and arrogance is mindboggling!! Where the hell are your customer
 service skills?

 Is that an issue with the Droid-fu or with AsyncTask?
 I don't have that issue. When configuration changes take place, no new
 requests are duplicated and existing ones just keep going, as long as
 you put the AsyncTasks in a static context (not an (activity) instance
 context).



Maybe I'm making an assumption about how you are using AsyncTask, but
what happens in the gap between the old Activity being destroyed and
before the new one has been created. What happens to the result in
that gap as you have no valid Activity to display the result? Either
you are losing your response, or you have to re-request it (hence
duplicate network usage). Or I guess you could be storing the result
temporary in your Application class?

I've just sent a complaint to http://www.justhost.com/submit-ticket
which I believe is their webhost. Perhaps others who have their apps
illegally listed on there should do the same.

 The problem is not so much generating the R class, it's making sure
 the library project is compiled with this composite R class made of
 all the projects (main + libs).

 Is it essential for the library project to be compiled with the composite R
 class?
 At each level in the library hierarchy, the R class would only include the
 resources of its own project and any descendant libraries. You could enforce
 that no two projects in the hierarchy define the same resource (otherwise
 give a compiler error).


By compiling the library with the composite R you are allowing your
application to override a resource used by the library. Which I think
is a very good thing.
