[android-developers] New android developer having trouble building signed apk

2016-10-05 Thread Bill Perrotta

Running Windows 7 Android studio.

When trying to build a signed apk I get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable 
to create new native thread.


Is it possible to run android studion correctly on 3gb ramm 32 bit 
windows7? Intel  D cpu 3.40 ghz 3.39 GHZ

I have bluestacks running api19 android 4.4.2 because the native emulator 
requires vtx haxm.

I created and coded a project but can't run it or export it to an apk.

I created this variable in windows system when gradle wouldn't 
run _JAVA_OPTIONS Variable value: -Xmx512M.

Very frustrating maybe someone here can help or point me to a good source 
for help.



I apologise if this is the wrong place to post.


Thanks,

Bill Perrotta.

[android-developers] How to instrument Android Dalvik compiler?

2016-08-24 Thread Bill




down votefavorite 


I need to instrument Android 4.3 Dalvik compiler 
 
for 
some purposes.

*What is the goal?*

The goal is to calculate the elapsed execution time used by assignment 
statements in the Android Dalvik VM code.

*What did I do so far?*

I insert the following code between assignment statement(s) in the Android 
Dalvik VM source code:

start = get_time()  end = end_time()
elapsed_time = end-start

*Why the above code does not work?*

The above code does not work for the following reasons:

   1. The get_time() function, more specifically *gettimeofday()* or 
   *clock_gettime()*, has higher resolution than the assignment statement 
   and hence gives negative values.
   2. To solve the negative values above, I end up using a for-loop to loop 
   1 billion times for each code that has assignment statements. However, the 
   Android code becomes extremely slow and does not work.

*What do I need to do to solve the problem?*

I need to instrument the Dalvik compiler to identify the assignment 
instructions and calculate/estimate their execution times at the 
compile-time (not at run-time). Does anyone know how to do that?

[android-developers] Android Updates

2016-03-13 Thread Bill N

When is Google going to take android system updates out of carrier hands? I 
have been stuck on 4.4.4 forever and would love to see a few updates? 

Google news needs to take charge on updates and leave carriers with an API 
to put their junk at their leasure.

Re: [android-developers] Local service, 'hardware' back and AppCompat up buttons

2016-02-04 Thread Bill Morgan

No need to make it so complicated.

Subclass Application, add your objects, getters and setters.

No need to make it so complicated.

Since you mentioned that your objects aren't parcelable -- we're
talking about sharing data between various places all within same
process (VM).

You can just pass them around the way you normally would between
methods / classes.

To make it cleaned, I'd look into some kind of "event bus" where some
objects can subscribe to abstract "changes" and others can send these
"change notifications".

Can be something like JavaRX or an "event bus", for example:

http://greenrobot.org/eventbus/

( I haven't used this, but the principle is the same )

2016-02-04 21:40 GMT+03:00 Massimo Del Zotto >:

Hello,
In my program I need to pass 'live' Objects from one activity to
another. Those are most likely not parcelable and most likely not
just data. I figured out I could use a local Service to provide a
cross-Activity data sharing. It's just a map from unique ids to
Object. Initial experimentation went great.

However, I am having serious trouble with a difference between the
back and the up button.

The application is set up as follows: there's a MainMenu Activity
which launches the service by means of bindService(...,
BIND_AUTO_CREATE). Other "inner" activities bind by
bindService(..., 0). They unbind on onDestroy, mostly because I'm
lazy.

Now, because of the way I have setup activities, the up and the
back buttons should be equivalent. And indeed they are. Sort of.

When I push the back 'hardware' button I have: onPause, onStop,
onDestroy as expected. Here, I de-register the callback and... at
a certain point I got a huge error by pushing the 'back' button
relating to a leaking window created in my onServiceDisconnect.
Indeed, I show an error dialog when this happens with the only
option being calling finish().

I figured out I needed to keep track of unbinding status. It was
my understanding onServiceDisconnect wouldn't get called when I
unregister... it turns out the 'back' button produces this
sequence of calls: onPause, onServiceDisconnected,
onServiceConnected (MainMenu), onStop, onDestroy.

*Is anyone aware of this difference and why does that happen?* As
a side note, this implies Binders should be passed around (in
MainMenu) with care as they can go stale. Not really a big problem
but something to keep in mind.

I'm trying to devise a solution. For the time being, I'll think
I'll resolve to 'instant service connections' so I bind, do what I
need and unbind right away. I might do that in an AsyncTask in
case... *isn't that an hammer solution?* I totally missed about
this difference in documentation and I'm confused on how to use
services correctly at this point.

Elaborations are welcome.

Massimo

[android-developers] Re: ListView content thread sync cases

2013-01-27 Thread Bill Michaelson

My confusion has been due to the lack of appreciation that in spite of the 
fact that the server-obtained updates run asynchronously in a Thread 
started by the Service, the initial Service logic is part of the main 
thread which is shared with the Activities.

I had coded the Handler in one of the Activities.  I am moving the Handler 
into the Service.  This is the logical place for the code that fields 
asynchronous updates obtained from the remote location that must be 
interwoven into the functioning of the UI.  The placement satisfies two 
criteria:

   - It is started and ready to operate regardless of the state of the UI.
   - It lives in the UI thread so that no synchronization locking needs to 
   occur,
   
I simply need to provide a mechanism that enables the handler to determine 
which data structures are present and ready for update in the Activities at 
any given time.  This is accomplished by setting/resetting pointers to the 
Activies in onCreate/onDestroy. The communications thread simply needs to 
queue work to it.
Make sense?

 This is not a problem either; the Activity can find the revised list

 But my problem is that I want to find a reasonable mechanism for all 
 dynamic states, especially during transition, or in other words:

- signal to the Service that the Activity is running and should be 
used to process an update
   - in such case assure that the update completes (i.e. that the 
   Activity is not destroyed after the Message is passed, but before it is 
   processed)
- otherwise signal that the Service must process the update in the 
absence of the Activity
   - in such case assure that the Activity does not start and attempt 
   to build a ListView prior to list content update completion by the 
 Service

 I suspect this pattern of synchronization has been accomplished by 
 others.  Advice appreciated.

We also use Google Plays LVL so the ability to run the app is tied to your

[android-developers] Boot sequence and application coordination

2012-10-19 Thread Bill Michaelson

I recently modified an application such that a component Service is now 
started upon device boot via RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED.  But when the service 
started, I encountered a problem with sqlite opening - a failure that was 
critical to the application.  Upon examining adb logcat output, I noticed 
messages that announced phases of fsck operating, and implying that fsck 
did not complete until after my sqlite open failure.  I assumed that the 
underlying file was inaccessible because my app started too early relative 
to fsck.  Based on this hunch, I inserted a 5 second Thread.sleep() into 
the start sequence.  This seems to have solved the problem.

But I am unsatisfied for two reasons:

1) My fix is non-deterministic.  There is no guarantee that 5 seconds will 
always be adequate, or theoretically, that any arbitrary delay is 
sufficient.
2) I have not absolutely determined a causal relationship between the fsck 
and the open failure.

Ideally, I will delay start until precisely the moment that the OS and 
supporting processes are adequately prepared.

So I seek advice from a more imaginative, knowledgeable or experienced 
developer.

TIA

To answer my own question, I think I'm looking for code like that below.

public void waitForExternalStorage()
{

while(Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_CHECKING))
{
try { Thread.sleep(1000L); }
catch(InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
}
}


Alternately, I can wait for a broadcast of Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED.

Have I got the right?  And is there anything else I should be wary of in 
this start-at-boot scenario?

Or if you really want to hurt your head, you can use Java Swing from

If you poke around in the monkeyrunner source code you'll see that

[android-developers] Re: SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() drifts by up to ~1 second when the phone is in sleep mode

2012-07-27 Thread Bill Steinberger

Leo, I am seeing this same behavior and stuggling to find a solution.  Have 
you worked it out yet?
I've tried implementing it in a Runnable and using SystemPreferences to 
store the times onPause, then retrieve them onResume  and seen this issue. 
 Then I moved the SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() to a service, thinking if I 
kept the timer running while the screen was blank that might be better.  I 
started testing that last night on a device and it looks like it has the 
same issue.

 I am writing an app that relies on precise clock synchronization between

 phone becomes disconnected from power and goes through a few sleep/wake 
 cycles (e.g. by pressing the power button or letting it time out), the 
 clocks will be out of sync by 0.3 - 0.7 seconds, whereas I need millisecond 
 precision.

 My understanding was that *S*ystemClock.elapsedRealtime() should be 
 immune to sleep / deep sleep states. What might be going on, and is it 
 possible to fix this behavior? In my test code, I simply have a loop inside 
 a thread that constantly looks at elapsedRealtime and updates UI if 
 necessary. My test devices are HTC Hero with CM7 / Gingerbread, and Nexus S 
 4G with ICS.*

Re: [android-developers] Re: Accessing Android Transceiver Info.

2012-07-20 Thread Bill Takats

I was/am planning to simply use the speaker and mic for sound doppler
spectral analysis of solid non-dense objects. Being an Engineer, I would
imagine that real time capturing of the reflected sonic waves might be an
issue when compared to the initial sent ping signals. Hence, in a
nut-shell, my problem -- real-time!. I still need to work out the
frequencies and corresponding amplitudes for different object densities. I
am obviously in the feasibility stage of development.

Someone suggested to me that Android devices (and most real-time cell/pda
devices) might contain an embedded MIB Module (Management Information Base)
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_information_base*. If this is the
case, then it could be a simpler matter of extracting the information from
the MIB-module and doing the spectral analysis at that point. ie, it would
look real-time.

I am looking for what might be proprietary information (schematics, etc) of
the guts of the Android or even iPhone, etc to see exactly how the
transmitted and received signals are handled and digested, even for simple
voice calls. This whole issue might be a lot simpler than I think, but it
usually never is.

Thanks for any and all comments and suggestions
.

[android-developers] Android vs. Everyone: Live! July 12!

2012-07-09 Thread Bill Mote

At last month's It's really time to get serious about PhoneGap meeting, 
hosted by our sister group All Things Mobile, I threw down the gauntlet: 
build a tip calculator in your respective platform to induce dialog about 
its merits.

They have willing participants for iOS, Windows Mobile and PhoneGap. I will 
be carrying the mantle for Android.

This should create some interesting compare and contrast discussion. Come 
help represent the green! Viva-la-Android!

[android-developers] Alarm BroadcastReceiver fog

2012-05-19 Thread Bill Michaelson

I've placed the stub of some new logic into a Service that will rely
on AlarmManager to periodically goose the service.  I've been using
adb shell dumpsys alarm and logcat to trace it, and it seems that I
have been able to set the alarm and I see evidence that the alarm is
tripped.  But I don't see evidence that the event is delivered to my
BroadcastReceiver.  I suspect that I am not properly registering the
receiver or I am misusing Context.  I would appreciate an extra set of
experienced eyes.

In the startup logic of my service is the code which instantiates an
inner class (Alarm) which serves as the BroadcastReceiver and also
provides the utility function to set the alarm...

  if (!pulse.isAlive()) {
 pulse.start();
 alarm = new Alarm();
 String acs = Alarm.class.toString();
 IntentFilter ifilt = new IntentFilter(acs);
 registerReceiver(alarm,ifilt);
 alarm.setAlarm((Coordinator)this,15000); // in 15 secs
 Log.d(TAG,ALARM SH BE SET -*_*_*_*_* -
+acs);
  }

The logcat confirms execution (the Service class is called
Coordinator)...

D/CoordMT (  322): ALARM SH BE SET -*_*_*_*_* - class
net.from.apprise.Coordinator$Alarm

Correspondingly, the dumpsys alarm output shows creation of the alarm
after invocation:

  Realtime wakeup (now=1337434262327):
  RTC_WAKEUP #0: Alarm{4503cc48 type 0 net.from.apprise}
type=0 when=1337434275855 repeatInterval=0 count=0
operation=PendingIntent{45049198: PendingIntentRecord{45000eb0
net.from.apprise broadcastIntent}}

and after the elapsed period, it also shows the alarm history count
incremented as expected (from 2 to 3 in this case)...

  Alarm Stats:
  android
   ... stuff omitted ...
  net.from.apprise
52ms running, 3 wakeups
3 alarms: flg=0x4 cmp=net.from.apprise/.Coordinator$Alarm

But I don't see expected trace meesage from the BroadcastReceiver...

   public class Alarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
 Log.d(TAG,BING1 ** -
);
 PowerManager pm =
 
(PowerManager)context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
 PowerManager.WakeLock wl =
pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,YOUR TAG);
 wl.acquire();
 Log.d(TAG,BING2 ** -
);
 wl.release();
  }
  public void setAlarm(Context context,long msFuture) {
 AlarmManager am =
 
(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
 Intent i = new Intent(context,Alarm.class);
 PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context,0,i,0);
 am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
System.currentTimeMillis()+msFuture,pi);
  }
   }

The Service containing the Alarm object is definitely running when the
alarm is tripped, and I have no reason to believe that the Alarm
object has been freed.  I would appreciate some tips for diagnose, or
if there is an obvious error, a blatant clue!  Thanks for your
attention.

[android-developers] Re: Alarm BroadcastReceiver fog

2012-05-19 Thread Bill Michaelson

Bingo. My fog enveloped the precise use of Intents, as you
undoubtedly inferred. The alarm is being caught in the receiver now.
I thank you for your very direct, clear identification of the problem
and the equally clear solution,

Further to the broader scope of the application:

The application has been functioning properly. One of its functions
is to periodically sleep for periods which are determined by multiple
factors such as detected activity level of peers or use by the local
user. I want to allow the user to leave the Service running at all
times for the purpose of maintaining local data currency obtained from
peers via a server and alerting the user occasionally, who
periodically runs a companion Activity. But when the sleep intervals
are large, it is obviously unwise to hold a WakeLock. Thus I have
turned to AlarmManager - basically to goose the Service after it has
allowed the phone to shutdown for awhile. That's what I'm
experimenting with.

The user has the option of shutting down the service completely or
leaving it running indefinitely. When it is running, it shows an icon
in the notification bar. I suppose I could rely on AlarmManager to
restart the Service after all pauses, but that raises more questions.
For one, would the notification icon remain? Also, would it be
advantageous in the event that my Service is in a period of short
duration pauses such as 5 seconds? From the opposite perspective, is
there any serious negative consequence to leaving a Service running
during phone sleep and simply goosing it with an alarm as I'm
proposing?

Thanks again.

The primary point behind AlarmManager is to run code when nothing else
of your code is running. Why are you using both AlarmManager *and*
what appears to be a long-running service?

Note that your BroadcastReceiver is being registered with an
IntentFilter that uses an action string.

But I don't see expected trace meesage from the BroadcastReceiver...

Because you are not broadcasting an Intent that will be picked up by
that IntentFilter.

Intent i = new Intent(context,Alarm.class);

This broadcast does not use an action string. It uses a component.
This would be a fine choice if your BroadcastReceiver were registered
in the manifest, but yours is not.

If you want to send a broadcast to an IntentFilter that uses an action
string, your Intent that you are broadcasting must use the same action
string (e.g., new Intent(this.is.my.action.string)), not a
component.

 I've tried this, but I found my problem (still isn't solved).
 I have multiple imageviews over a framelayout (also tried with

 their place over the screen is determined by Padding (dynamically) so 
 the last Imageview added has the biggest z-index

 The problem is, I can't choose the smaller z-index views because the

 I believe this is not the dragdrop best practice.

 Do you have some kind of example to give me?

  My app polls my website and requires customization prior to

  customized prior to installation - not after.  Therefore selling the
  app in the marketplace will not work.  If I had a private URL in the

  that would work - but thats not going to happen. Therefore it looks
  like I'm going to sell it outside of the marketplace.

  Here are some pros and cons I've come up with.

  Pros / Droid marketplace installation :

  1. Seller keeps 100% of revenue
  2. 100% of users have the ability to install

  Cons / Droid marketplace installation :

  1. 30% of revenue goes to google
  2. Users need to log into the droid marketplace with thier google
  account. Users not logged in may not complete the sign in process.

  Pros / non - marketplace installation :

  1. Users don't have to be logged into their google account to install

  Cons / Droid marketplace installation:

  1. Some users cannot install apps from non trusted locations.

  I welcome feedback and debunking of my observations.

[android-developers] What percentage of users lack the ability to install from outside the Droid marketplace ?

2012-01-02 Thread Bill K

Does anyone know What percentage of users lack the ability to install
from outside the Droid marketplace ?

My app polls my website and requires customization prior to
downloading.  The important point here is my app needs to be
customized prior to installation - not after.  Therefore selling the
app in the marketplace will not work.  If I had a private URL in the
Droid marketplace that allowed my users to install a trusted app -
that would work - but thats not going to happen. Therefore it looks
like I'm going to sell it outside of the marketplace.

Here are some pros and cons I've come up with.

Pros / Droid marketplace installation :

1. Seller keeps 100% of revenue
2. 100% of users have the ability to install

Cons / Droid marketplace installation :

1. 30% of revenue goes to google
2. Users need to log into the droid marketplace with thier google
account. Users not logged in may not complete the sign in process.


Pros / non - marketplace installation :

1. Users don't have to be logged into their google account to install


Cons / Droid marketplace installation:

1. Some users cannot install apps from non trusted locations.

I welcome feedback and debunking of my observations.

[android-developers] Compass not working on some 2.2 devices

2011-12-28 Thread Bill Tschumy

We recently released an Android port of an iPhone app. The app relies on the 
digital compass for some features. This has been working well on most devices, 
but there are a few where the compass is not working. It seems the device is 
not feeding us any onSensorChanged() messages after we register to receive them.

I think all the problems are with devices running Android 2.2

They users claim that other apps that make use of the compass work just fine 
for them.

We start the compass using:

if ( magnetometer != null  accelerometer != null )
{
if ( compassOn )
{
sensorManager.registerListener( this, accelerometer, (int) (100 
/ kSensorUpdateFrequencyFast) );
sensorManager.registerListener( this, magnetometer, (int) (100 
/ kSensorUpdateFrequencyFast) );
}
else
{
sensorManager.registerListener( this, accelerometer, (int) (100 
/ kSensorUpdateFrequencySlow) );
sensorManager.registerListener( this, magnetometer, (int) (100 
/ kSensorUpdateFrequencySlow) );
}
}

Where the magnetometer and accelerometer are initialized at program startup 
using:

sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService( SENSOR_SERVICE );
accelerometer = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor( Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER );
magnetometer = sensorManager.getDefaultSensor( Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD );


We do get a valid (non-null) accelerometer and magnetometer sensors returned 
from these calls.

So does anyone have any thoughts on why the compass code might not be working 
on those 2.2 devices?

I see that even the Compass example in the example code with the Android SDK 
still used the deprecated ORIENTATION sensor for getting compass values.  Is 
this what should be used on 2.2?

Re: [android-developers] Compass not working on some 2.2 devices

2011-12-28 Thread Bill Tschumy

I did figure this out.  Turns out that in 2.2 you can't use sensor rates other 
than the standard SENSOR_DELAY_UI, SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL, etc.  The documentation 
claims you can also specify the number of microseconds between notifications, 
but they are lying.

Once I used the standard constants it started working on 2.2

[android-developers] EGL/OpenGL ES Frame Rate Stuttering

2011-08-29 Thread Bill Roeske

TL;DR:

Even when doing no drawing at all, it seems impossible to maintain a
60Hz update rate on an OpenGL ES rendering thread on an Android
device. Mysterious spikes frequently crop up (demonstrated in the code
at the bottom of this post), and every effort that I've made to figure
out why or how has lead to a dead end. Timing in more complicated
examples with a custom rendering thread has consistently shown
eglSwapBuffers() to be the culprit, frequently coming in over
17ms-32ms. Help?

More details:

This is particularly damning because the rendering requirements for
our project is screen-aligned elements smoothly scrolling horizontally
at a fixed, high rate of speed from one side of the screen to the
other. In other words, a platforming game. The frequent drops from
60Hz result in noticeable popping and lurching, both with and without
time-based movement. Rendering at 30Hz isn't an option because of the
high rate of scrolling speed, which is a non-negotiable part of the
design.

Our project is Java-based to maximize compatibility and uses OpenGL ES
2.0. We only dip down into the NDK for OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering on API
7-8 devices and ETC1 support on API 7 devices. In both it and the test
code given below, I have verified no allocations/GC events except for
the log print and automatic threads beyond my control.

I've recreated the problem in a single file that uses stock Android
classes and no NDK. The code below can be pasted into a new Android
project created in Eclipse and should pretty much work out-of-the-box
so long as you choose API level 8 or above.

The test has been reproduced on a variety of devices with a range of
GPUs and OS versions:
* Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android 3.1
* Nexus S running Android 2.3.4
* Galaxy S II running Android 2.3.3
* XPERIA Play running Android 2.3.2
* Droid Incredible running Android 2.2
* Galaxy S running Android 2.1-update1 (when dropping API requirements
down to level 7)

Sample output (gathered from under 1 second of run time):
Spike: 0.017554
Spike: 0.017767
Spike: 0.018017
Spike: 0.016855
Spike: 0.016759
Spike: 0.016669
Spike: 0.024925
Spike: 0.017083999
Spike: 0.032984
Spike: 0.026052998
Spike: 0.017372

I've been chasing this one for a while and have about hit a brick
wall. If a fix isn't available, then at least an explanation about why
this happens and advice on how this has been overcome in projects with
similar requirements would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill Roeske

Re: [android-developers] Re: Is it possible to use MonkeyRunner from java

2011-08-22 Thread Bill Napier

We re-factored a bunch of code to take a lot of the MonkeyRunner source and
make it available as a library, specifically for people doing project
similar to what you're doing.  You should probably stop depending on the
monkeyrunner.jar and start depending on chimpchat.jar (the new java library
that encapsulates this functionality).  A new example looks like this:

MapString, String options = new TreeMapString, String();
options.put(backend, adb);
ChimpChat chimpchat = ChimpChat.getInstance(options);
IChimpDevice device = chimpchat.waitForConnection();

Which is the same snippet as before, but with the updated code.

 If I determine the phone is active by reading the accelerometer, I

 while, I determine it's not moving, I stop the location updates.

 Is it better to leave a LocationListener on during that time, or is it
 better to register a LocationListener every 30 seconds, get an update,
 and unregister?

 For both methods, I would timeout after a while if I can't get a
 location update. I want to know which method is better in terms of
 both getting consistent updates and battery life.

 And I'm trying to get updates through GPS satellites, not network,
 even though I know network is faster and less battery consuming, but I
 need to get it through satellites. Please keep that in mind.

[android-developers] Standalone Java applications?

2011-08-07 Thread Bill Gatliff

Guys:


I am aware that under carefully-controlled circumstances, we can use
the NDK toolchain to produce standalone ASM/C/C++ applications for a
compatible Android target.

What if I want to do a standalone application written in Java for an
Android target?  It seems like I should be able to do this using the
SDK, and I have managed to compile a simple, do-nothing Java class
using the SDK.  (This wasn't a surprise to me).  I'm still looking at
what exactly I would transfer to the target, and then how I would
launch it.

I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time before going any further on this.


Thanks!

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=blob;f=monkeyrunner/src/com/android/monkeyrunner/core/IMonkeyDevice.java;h=9c06ec49fc291ffe331d20f3472dffb41539024b;hb=HEAD

And see that it has a bunch of methods on it like takeSnapshot, touch,
drag, etc.

Hopefully that's enough to get you started.

Hi Bill,

Thank you so much for sharing the information.

we wanted to create a automation framework in java having MonkeyRunner
as base.

Could you give me one small sample using java, it will be really
helpful for us.

To give you a context we wanted to automated the device as a whole
where we interact with multiple apk's hope our choice of monkey
runner is right for that.

Thank you in advance.

 Only you can answer that.


If MonkeyRunner doesn't work out well, you can always use the same protocol
that MR uses to talk to the device to implement the features yourself.

Also note that we're actively working on refactoring the MonkeyRunner code

stuff if you don't need it.

Re: [android-developers] monkeyrunner + ADB over TCP

2011-05-16 Thread Bill Napier

Hi,

I've never tried using MonkeyRunner over TCP.  There is a bunch of stuff
inside MonkeyRunner that assumes you're connecting to the device over USB.
 Without changing the MonkeyRunner source code, I'm not sure it's possible
to connect to a device over TCP.  I'll take a look at it and see if I can
add that feature.

[android-developers] FOTA-like updates for non-phone devices?

2011-05-04 Thread Bill Gatliff

Guys:


Are there any docs available which suggest approaches for FOTA-like
updates to non-phone Android devices?

In a nutshell, I'm looking at deploying Android as the operating
system for a device that isn't a phone.  I'm trying to figure out what
the best way might be to do in-the-field updates of the device,
particularly ones that don't require end-user intervention.  Updates
of both APKs and the core system files are considered.

I understand the basics behind all of the above, I'm just wondering if
there is existing infrastructure within the Android framework (or
elsewhere) that I should be taking advantage of.  I have experience
with this stuff on non-Android platforms.


Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Long Press on Power Key with MonkeyRunner

2011-04-26 Thread Bill Napier

this worked for me (on Nexus S):

from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyDevice

dev = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
dev.press('POWER', MonkeyDevice.DOWN)

It brought up the Phone Options menu.  I really recommend that you use the
constants inside MonkeyDevice to specify what kind of press you want, as no
guarantee is provided on their values.  If you refer to them as
MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP, that will always work.

On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 2:33 AM, Harrison 冯兴强 feng.harri...@gmail.comwrote:

 Hi,

 I am using Monkeyrunner to do some automation testing  on my apps. But it
 didn't seem that this is long press solution on power key. As we know, we
 can get Phone options menu with Silent mode, Airplane mode, Power
 off when we long press hard power key manually. But when i use the
 following statement:

 device.press(KEYCODE_POWER,DOWN)

 I am not able to get the expected Phone options menu, I got the screen
 locked. That's  to say, the same result in using the following statement:

 device.press(KEYCODE_POWER,DOWN_AND_UP)

 So I can come to conclusion the MonkeyRunner API is not really to get long
 press hard key implemented. And I can see there is method
 performedLongPresshttp://androidappdocs.appspot.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.DispatcherState.html#performedLongPress%28android.view.KeyEvent%29
 (KeyEventhttp://androidappdocs.appspot.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.htmlevent)
  from android.view.KeyEvent.DispatcherState to handle long press key.

 so can we have this in MonkeyRunner API in the incoming release version?

 Thanks

[android-developers] Re: regarding monkey runner Tool

2011-04-15 Thread Bill Napier

Hi,

I'm going to start taking the same support stance the other android devs on
this list take.  I can't answer private questions, but I can respond to
questions posted on the list.

In this case, you can just use the same device object each time:

device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
img1 = device.takeSnapshot()
img1 = device.takeSnapshot()
img1 = device.takeSnapshot()

I will warn you that this is very slow.  In my tests, the fastest I could
get was around 3FPS.

Then again, I just tried it with the Nexus S and it doesn't work.  It may
work on devices with keyboards like Droid.  Here's how I tested it:

$ adb shell monkey --port 
$ adb forward tcp: tcp:
$ telnet localhost 
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
flip open
OK
flip close
OK

And nothing happened on my phone.  It may actually work on a device that has

Re: [android-developers] Re: Compare MonkeyImage

2011-04-08 Thread Bill Napier

Hi Peddi,

Here's an example of the usage of loadImageFromFile:

from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner
img = MonkeyRunner.loadImageFromFile(path='/home/napier/logo.png')


Since loadImageFromFile is something that can be done at any time and really
has nothing to do with a device, it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me
to add it as a method on MonkeyDevice.  If you've got a good argument as to
why it should be there, I'll listen to it.

Thanks,

Bill

Re: [android-developers] Re: Running Monkeyrunner directly on Android tablet

no, not from the device directly.  The permissions required to do the stuff
the monkey does is only granted to the user who has logged in via adb
shell.  Any application on the phone will not have the correct permissions
to do it.

Re: [android-developers] [Monkeyrunner]: How to simulate short press on power button

2011-03-07 Thread Bill Napier

Hi,

I tested this on Nexus S and it worked in the way I expected.  If I specify
DOWN_AND_UP, the screen locks and goes to sleep.  If I specify just DOWN, I
get the Phone options.

I tried with the emulator and saw the same behavior you saw, I'm not sure
why.

Let me try and borrow an Xperia from somebody to reproduce there.

 Thanks Bill,

 But this code for short press on POWER button isn't working. I tried with
 emulator  (Android 1.6, Android 2.1) and also on Xperia device.  I also
 tried with controlling duration of the press but it opens the Phone Options.
 I wanted to simulate lock screen by pressing on POWER Button.

 With this command [ *device.press('KEYCODE_POWER', 'down') *] you can
 open the dialogue box which gives the Phone options (Silent Mode, Airplane
 Mode and Power off).

 Is there any other way to simulate the lock screen?

 Really Appreciate your help.

 What you were doing was only sending the down part of the DOWN_AND_UP, so
 it was like you were pressing the POWER button and then never ever taking
 your finger off of it.

 If you want even more control over the duration of the press, you can do a
 DOWN, sleep for a bit, and then do the UP.  DOWN_AND_UP runs the commands
 with no delay in-between at all (a really short press).

Re: [android-developers] Compare MonkeyImage

2011-03-07 Thread Bill Napier

Yes.  Our tests are written on top of pyunit (which runs inside
monkeyrunner).  We use sameAs and an asset.

For the test cases we are developing, sameAs (with a percentage) is
sufficient.  This allows things like the time in the status bar and any
other possible notifications to get ignored.

If you want to do a more complicated comparison (like being able to handle a
different background color), you could write your own.
 MonkeyImage.getRawPixel (
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/MonkeyImage.html#getRawPixel)
is provided exactly for that reason.

 Because that wouldn't make my testcases obsolete even if i change the

Re: [android-developers] Garbage collector hangs OpenGL on HTC Evo

Wanted to respond to my own post and say that it appears the issue has been 
resolved.  The phone I was using was purchased on Craig's List for development 
purposes.  It turns out the phone was rooted and had God knows what installed

back to a Factory state.  After doing so, the app now runs just fine with 
none of the GC/OpenGL hangs.

Re: [android-developers] Garbage collector hangs OpenGL on HTC Evo

2011-02-18 Thread Bill Tschumy

I posted a message a while ago saying that my mysterious problems went away 
after unrooting the phone and restoring it to factory conditions.  Turns out 
that was premature.  

After playing with the app for a bit I finally got a hang.  What is strange is 
that now I once again get the hangs soon (sometimes immediately) after starting 
the app.  Rebooting the phone doesn't help.  As weird as it sounds, it seems 
that after running the app for awhile on a fresh phone, the problem gets 
worse.

Other information that may or may not be relevant.  The bulk of the app is 
written in C/C++.  There are a substantial number of JNI methods (maybe 120) 
that serve as the glue between the Java and C++ code.  The vast bulk of the C++ 
code as runs on the iPhone so I'm pretty sure it is not causing the grief.  Is 
it even possible that some memory smash in the C code could cause a problem 
where OpenGL would deadlock after garbage collection?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Bill

Re: [android-developers] Compare MonkeyImage

Hi Christopher,

Being able to load an image into MonkeyRunner from the filesystem

compare to subsequent snapshots (to see what has changed).  This looks
pretty straight forward feature to add, but may take me a couple days
to get to it.

Hi,

You can safely ignore that log message.  I know it looks scary, but things
are still working (I got the same message when I just tried, but the rest of
the script ran fine).  In a later build that message will be totally be
gone.

Also, I noticed a slight typo in the docs regarding takeSnapshot.  The

# Takes a screenshot

[android-developers] Initial HTTP request slow over WiFi on Motorola Droid (sholes)

2010-12-06 Thread Bill Haake

Hi-

We've built an Android application that accesses data services using
HTTP requests and we have noticed that the initial HTTP requests over
a WiFi connection usually take much longer (up to 1000 times longer)
than subsequent requests. This doesn't happen on 3G.

We have spent a fair bit of time collecting data and so far we seem to
have identified a fairly specific set of circumstances where this
occurs.

Here are some observations:

1) When we create a new HTTP client, the first request takes anywhere
from 20 milliseconds to 2 milliseconds (yes 20 seconds!),
subsequent requests with the same client usually take about 20
milliseconds. The average for the first request is 5500 milliseconds
or so.

2) Occurs only on some WiFi access points, not all of them and not on
3G. We have a relatively new access point in the office (linksys
WAP4011N) that is the worst offender, the problem does not occur with
my older access point (belkin F5D7230) at home.

3) We've  observed the problem with three different Motorola Droid
Sholes phones all running 2.2. We've looked at Droid X, Droid Eris,
Samsung Galaxy Tab and have not seen this issue in any of them.

4) It's not DNS, we've snooped the traffic and the DNS requests come
back right away. If we use the IP number instead of the DNS name for
the server, we still see the problem and snooping shows no DNS
requests are made.

5) It's not the server, we've tried using 5 different servers
including www.google.com and we see the issue on all of them.
Interestingly, the longest delays seem to occur on the servers that
respond the quickest.

So my questions:

1) Anyone else noticed this behavior?

2) Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

3) Anyone have a fix? :-)


I've poked around a little in the API hoping to find something to tune
in the WiFi hardware, but I haven't found anything there.


I have a small test app that illustrates the problem and if anyone is
interested, I'll post it.

Bill

 There is nothing built into Android for this. However, you have full

[android-developers] RE: PathShape not closing paths correctly

2010-10-21 Thread Bill Rebey

I've solved this myself.  I was using addArc(...)  to add arcs to my path.

Apparently  the correct  call to use is arcTo(...).  It works perfectly
now.

Hopefully  someone else can get some benefit  from  it.

-Original Message-
From: BRebey [mailto:b...@rebey.com] 
Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 2:01 PM
To: Android Developers
Subject: PathShape not closing paths correctly

I'm having trouble getting paths to close correctly.  The problem
appears to be  consistent from API 8 (Android  2.2)  back through API
4  (Android 1.6).  Emulators exhibit  the problem, as does my 2.2
phone.

It seems that Android doesn't  think that a  path is closed, even
though the path starts (via path.moveTo(...)) and ends (via
path.lineTo(...))  at exactly  the same coordinates.

If I call path.closePath() to  ensure that the path is closed, an
errant line segment is drawn,  which indicates to me that the path is
confused about being open/closed, or about which point is the
beginning/ending point in the path.

A very short but complete application  is included below that
demonstrates the problem.

Any help  with what is wrong  would be appreciated.

[android-developers] Catching button behavior

2010-10-21 Thread Bill C

I need to specify the full button images for both the up and down
positions.  My impression is that the most probable choice is to use
an custom button based on the ImageView and specify the image for up
and down positions.  I am using the OnTouchEvent method to capture the
ACTION_DOWN, but I'm not getting the ACTION_UP event.

Is there a better choice for creating a button that controls the full
button image, catches the Down/Up and can subdivide the down time into
time slices?  If not, how do I catch the up event.

My application expects a screen touch on the button and not a
keyboard action.

Thx,
Bill

[android-developers] How to zoom in/out image with webkit

2010-09-10 Thread Ghetto Bill Gates

I have an app where its a website wrapped with webview/webkit but when
I load images via linkes, you can use basic functions to zoom in/out.
I thought this was standard throughout  using Android?

[android-developers] Cant get basic HTML5 stuff to work

2010-09-07 Thread Ghetto Bill Gates

I made a video of my app, the part where I am having trouble started
at 30 seconds.

http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stUElTQ0BJRFtXQ1VUUl5RX1JQ/html5

This is my code http://pastie.org/1144392

This is a html5 site using webview/webkit wrapper.

1.  The problem I am having is that when I click a link to load the
comics, there is no sign of loading, is there any built in loader or
progress bar I can use, otherwise people think the app has frozen.
When the links load I then can click them to load the picture but I
have the same problem, it can be a big file picture and people will
think the app is frozen.

2.  Last problem is that I cant zoom in and out of any picture that is
loaded?

Thanks

[android-developers] TabHost Splash Screens

2010-07-29 Thread Bill

I have a TabHost activity that starts my application. I tried adding a
splash screen and it successfully loads the first time the application
is launched. The splash activity goes away and the tab activity is
displayed. If you exit the application and start it again, the splash
activity is not displayed. The application goes right into the tab
activity.

If you look at the Logcat, the Thread for the splash activity seems to
die but the tab activity seems to be suspended. Once you go back into
the application, the tab activity is just refreshed.

Anyone else seen this? Does anyone have sample code on how to resolve
this?

[android-developers] Static header in ListView

2010-06-12 Thread Bill Lumberg

I have a ListView with several columns and I need a header row at the
very top that labels each of these columns that *does not* scroll with
the rest of the ListView. I am using addHeaderView right now, but I've
ran into 2 problems:

1) The header scrolls. I need it outside of scrolling so that it's
always floating on top.

2) Each column in the header isn't lining up with the columns in the
listview. I can make the header columns and data columns all line up
perfectly if they're all in one big TableLayout, but how would I get
the header to be outside of the scrollview yet also stay uniform and
inline with the data columns?


Thanks!

 Put the header outside the ListView.

 You'll need to set the sizes of every one of your columns -- in other
 words, use dimension resources instead of wrap_content for the width. If
 you use a RelativeLayout for the header and a RelativeLayout for the
 rows, you can then use those same dimensions and layout_marginLeft to
 have everything consistently line up.

 Or, use GridView.

 Or, write a MultiColumnListView.

So by 'dimension resources' you mean getting the screen size, dividing
by number of columns to get width of each?

 Perfectly? You'd need to write a MultiColumnListView, which does not
 strike me as being a ton o' fun.

 You can use dimension resources to get you part of the way there, at
 least. And if you can designate one column as absorbing any slop
 (extra pixels beyond your calculated values), you might get something
 that looks OK.

[android-developers] Slow Eclipse on OS X

2010-06-12 Thread Bill Lumberg

I am running Eclipse Galileo on an Intel Mac and after using it for a
bit, it becomes very slow.  By slow I mean switching between tabs and
scrolling through source becomes nearly unusable.  I have to close
Eclipse and re-open it, and that usually only solves the problem for a
short time.

Has anyone else ran into this and discovered a way to fix it?

Thank you.

[android-developers] TabHost Loads Listview that loads a ListView?

2010-06-07 Thread Bill

I have a project where I am using a TabHost (4 tabs). On the 1st three
tabs I use a ViewFlipper to go between a ListView and a View with
content. On the last tab however, I need to load a ListView that will
have multiple different kids of views. For instance, the 1st row will
load another ListView when clicked. The second row will load a View
with content when clicked, etc.

So far, I have everything working except when I click the row in the
4th tab, I am not sure how to load the other ListView. Use a
ViewFlipper?

Any help would be great

[android-developers] Full-screen virtual keyboard?

Guys:

I have a need for a virtual keyboard with maximally-large keys.
Ideally, the keyboard would expand to cover the whole screen, and the
semi-transparent keys would allow me to see the widget with the input
focus underneath.

Is such a thing possible?  Can anyone point me in a direction?  I
don't mind looking at and writing code.

[android-developers] Common Classpath Variable Breaks Junit

I set up my Android project and various java projects to use a common
directory (set via classpath) for external Jar Files. Now my unit
tests can't run because dalvik says it can't resolve or find classes,
even though some of the classes are defined in the test project
itself !

Does anybody have ideas? This wasn't happening when each project
referenced its own local copy of the 3rd party jar files.

[android-developers] Unit Test Build Problems

I just switched the way my Android project is being built and non of
my unit tests work any more...I get errors like

WARN/dalvikvm(575): VFY: unable to resolve static field X in .
WARN/dalvikvm(575): VFY: unable to find class referenced in signature

These errors only come from my Unit Tests, where classes defined in it
can't even see other classes defined in the unit test.

Before each project had it's own directory with copies of the 3rd
party jar files. I've read around that Dex does weird things with
references but haven't been able to figure out how to fix this
problem. Is there a better way to do this? I would love to see an
example of a large Android workspace where there are multiple
projects, jar references, etc...

Is it possible to fix this with an Order/Export tweak ?

The project is structured like this:

* Eclipse Workspace (PROJECT_HOME classpath variable)
* lib
  o 3rd-party jars
  o android.jar
* Java Project A
  o Looks in PROJECT_HOME
* Java Project B
  o Looks in PROJECT_HOME
  o Depends on project A
* Android Project
  o Depends on A  B
  o Looks in PROJECT_HOME
* Android Test Project
  o Depends on A , B, Android Project
