[android-developers] Re: How to get support for your Android app in Google Play? Any Developer Support Manager in this group?
How did you get some help with this? Our Developer Console account was broken two weeks ago when I deleted a binary and they simultaneously deleted a binary which had an expansion file attached that was being used by the other binaries. That app disappeared from the store, and we can no longer access any of our other apps from the console - not for bug reports, product updates, anything. Over a week after I submitted the help request we were asked to submit a new binary and expansion file and unpublish the problem app! We can't access the apps! I sent them a new binary and expansion file and have still not heard back. How do we get them to fix this?

[android-developers] Persistence of complex Java objects (SQLite, Serialization, JSON) and client-server app architecture
I'm working on an Android application which is fetching data from internet among other things. Actually, the project was started by someone else which is not here anymore, and now that I have to turn it into a light client application and implement the server side (in Java), I'm wondering what would be the best tools/patterns to use to fit my needs. Let's say I have to deal with several models (class representing a category) of objects which all inherits from one class : they have common attributes (such as name, attache thumbnail...) but specific properties too. Because of this,you can understand that I can't afford to manage one specific table to map each single class. However, I still want to be able to cache my objects somewhere in the Android device to populate the views of the application when working in offline mode. Currently, the solution used by the previous developer was to store data directly into a TEXT field in the SQLIite database, as serialized objets. This should be ok on the server side but I've read that the usual Java serializaton was very slow on the Android platform, although it is not really noticeable now because I work with around ~50 objects, I was looking for more performant alternatives for the future. I've came across the JSON solution which can easily handle complex structures and Jackson library seems very interesting with its simplified data binding to POJO objects and its well-known performance. But then, how should I store my Json objects ? Is it possible to keep a json string in a TEXT field of a SQlite table ? Or should I rather store them as .json file for each object ? Which one is the more efficient to retrieve later lot of data? Plus, I was thinking that JSON would be a very good exchange format between the Android client application and my server whould is in charge of processing the information from internet third-parties apis and exposing this data with webservices. Is using the usual Apache HTTPClient enough on Android to communicate with the server? For those who successfully developped client-server application (which seems very common to me) is this a good approach for Android ? It seems to me that with mobile platforms, you can't really use the approach that you've learned for more classic J2EE app and such... Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I'm a student and Android beginner who really want to improve her mobile development skills !

[android-developers] Buttons position for AlertDialogs in Android 4.0/SDK 14
Hello, I was wondering why the position of "ok" and "cancel" buttons on AlertDialogs are switched in the new Theme of Android Ice Cream Sandwich ? If I look in the API demos, if "Traditional theme" is used for Dialogs and not "Holo Theme", Dialogs display "ok" and "cancel" from left to right, as usual (and as it did in Honeycomb) What is the reason for that new behavior ?

[android-developers] Skinning an app
I have tried whitelabeling an app, so I can use the same codebase for a number of customers. What's different in the apps is the graphics, styles and layouts, not the code. The best way I could think of is have an ant script that copies the res folder and the manifest file into a separate project, and copy it back to the main project. By running this ant script I switch between skins. But there must be a more elegant way of having skins for an app. Styles won't do it, because that's too limited, you can only change android: attributes, not layouts and drawables. Wouldn't it be nice if a Theme didn't just have it's own styles, but also its own res folder? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: accessing sqlite db
1. where you open and close depends on your app. You can keep the db
open, and close and re-open in onResume and onPause, or you can open
and close before and after you access the db.
3. just retrieve the data that you need in the getView of your list
adapter, don't retrieve complete tables if you don't need them. Of
course, it depends on your app and on the size of the table whether
you want to keep the table in memory or not.

[android-developers] button background hangs, or disappears
hi, I have a button that shows exactly as it should, until I have clicked it, then it doesn's show it's background any more. The funny thing is that all other buttons of the same style loose their backgrounds as well. Sometimes the opposite happens: all backgrounds in my app get the button background. The style that defines the button is- wrap_content
- wrap_content
- @color/button_text
- 16sp
- 10dip
- 10dip
- 3dip
- 3dip
- center_vertical
- @drawable/mybutton
The statelist "mybutton" is http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> I have tried extending the Button class and set the backgroundDrawable from there, to no avail. How can my button make other similar buttons in different activities disappear? How can my button background show up in activities that don't have any buttons?

[android-developers] style problem in 1.5
I have an image of 320px wide and 454px high that I display as the
background of a linearlayout with the following style:
<item name="android:layout_width">320dip</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">454dip</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center_horizontal</item>
<item name="android:orientation">vertical</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">35dip</item>
this is the layout:
In the values-hdpi styles file I have larger dimensions for a graphic
that is larger, in the drawable-hdpi folder.This works, I get proper
sizing on all phones and emulators that I have tested, except that on
a 1.5 phone the image is larger than the screen. Now, when I add width
and height identical to the ones in the styles file, to the layout
file, the image displays properly. Like so:
I'm sure I'm missing something, a simple typo I'm overlooking, but for
now, I'm at a loss...

[android-developers] Re: where to store files?

[android-developers] Re: why I can't see google's nexus one from eclipse
I don't see the Nexus One in DDMS on my 64bits Ubuntu Linux, while all other HTC phones do show up. I added vendor code 18D1, for some reason the Nexus uses a different vendor code. Linux does see the Nexus for file transfer, so the problem is in the adb, not in linux. On Feb 25, 8:39 am, DonFrench wrote: > Yes, with XP-64, for which there seems to be no solution.

[android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.
Let's not whine. Android is a new platform, manufacturers are trying out business models, they experiment with hardware and software, but I'm sure that the world will converge towards a platform that will allow us to write apps for all phones that run Android, give or take a few phones that are "different" because they run "Android". I use beta testers. I give them a button in my app that sends me the logcat output. If needed, I call them. They send me email. In most cases, that suffices to solve problems. If one model of phone doesn't run your app, you can add a few lines of code that pops up a window on that particular phone saying that your app doesn't support their phone, but you'd appreciate their help in fixing the problem. This thread would make an interesting subject for a session at GoogleIO. If Google doesn't plan such a session, we could agree to meet in the sidelines of the conference, I'm sure they'll give us a room for that, and we can invite Google staf - and HTC,Samsung,Sony, Motorola staff - to our meeting.

It's good to see Google staff take this issue seriously :-) I'll repeat my personal opinion that fragmentation will not be so much of an issue, unless you desperately need 2.x features in your app, in which case you'll have to accept a <1% market share of your app. On Jan 18, 9:45 pm, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 11:58 AM, JP wrote: > > >http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility... > > This means having to cut off users on older Android releases, no? > > Um.

[android-developers] Re: ATTENTION ANDROID TEAM: Take back control of Android.
I agree with Mark that older apps, like 1.6 apps, run "happily" on newer sdks. Most apps can do without the newer features, if you accept that sometimes you have to do more work, or the feature you build is slightly less attractive. Or, you can have a Factory class that returns the right version class to use. As far as I have seen, you can have 2.1 classes in a 1.6 app, as long as you don't instantiate them.

By specifiying minSdkVersion and maxSdkVersion, you can provide different versions for different sdks. Every user would only see one version in the market, if I'm not mistaken.

Just a piece of advice, when you have so many seemingly identical textviews and spinners, it may be convenient for you to put the attrebutes in a style and associate the styles with the spinner and the textview.

There's a reason for onCreate(), onStart(), etc. to be called when they are called. If there's code that you don't want to have executed when onCreate() is called, don't put it in onCreate(). In onCreate() you can check what the situation is, and act accordingly, like take different actions depending on whether savedInstanceState == null. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Soon as carriers upgrade the phones to 1.6 or higher, I can remove some of my code. Unfortunately, Vodafone has their Hero phones on 1.5 and they don't seem to plan to upgrade, I guess the same is true for other carriers. But anyway, it's a very good move to have background threads in a lower priority. > > On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:05 PM, Christine wrote: > > > > > I have two apps that use a service to upload and download files and > > data.

Actually, the Android samples that are available on the Android developer web site contain a number of good examples. In using a List view, there's a trade off between simplicity and performance. You'll see examples with ViewHolders that give you better performance but are harder to grasp. I suggest you take a very simple example and get that to work, then improve it by adding better performance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Service thread priority
I have two apps that use a service to upload and download files and data. I've noticed that when the service gets very busy, it can cause the UI to block, up to the point that Android shows a "force quit/ wait" popup. In order to avoid that, I run tasks in a service at a lower priority. This way, the service will never cause the UI to hickup. Also, the service stops if the app hasn't been used for a certain number of minutes. I don't want to keep resources if the user isn't using my app. I have found that some of my users run apps that run services permanently at normal priority. Such a service starts at phone switch on, and keeps running indefinitely, downloading vast amounts of data. My policy of being nice to other apps doesn't pay off: these agressive third party services push my service away so it never gets anything done. As one of my users told me, my app has hickups, until he kills the service of this app X, after which my app runs smoothly, snappy, and fast. My question is, should I be nice to other apps and to the UI in my own app, or should I just run a service and agressively take all resources I need - or don't need? This is one issue where Android is different from iPhone. We can run services, but by doing so, we can cause damage to other peoples apps. Of course, my "question" doesn't require an answer.

If the answer is "I want it to fire > even if the Activity is gone", AlarmManager may be a better choice. Actually, the activity hands some data to the service to process, triggered by a user action. Typically, a user would do this several times in a row, so I figured it would be nice if the service wouldn't stop immediately, but just wait for a couple of minutes. I don't want the service to keep running indefinitely. The main reason I use a service is that uploading the user data can take a while and I want it to continue even if the app gets destroyed. The activity stops after handing data to the service, and it may get started again for a new action involving the service. > When "after unbind it can't bind again", what are you actually seeing? > Exceptions? other log messages? false returned by bindService()? > something else? Actually if there were log messages or anything, I would know where to look for the problem. The activity doesn't throw an exception, but the "bindService()" doesn't cause onBind() in the service to get called.

Well, I suppose that if an activity gets destroyed by the os, you have to unbind in onStop() or onDestroy(), don't you?

[android-developers] Service stops?
I have a service that is waiting for input from an Activity. I noticed that if the service has a task scheduled via a handler, an Activity can bind and unbind repeatedly to make the service do stuff. However, if the service doesn't have a task scheduled and really doesn't do anything while waiting, it kind of disappears. An activity binds to the service and makes it work, but after unbind it can't bind again. This is not an issue for me because I do need a task scheduled, if only a task that stops the service after n minutes of inactivity. I was just wondering if this is intended behavior of a service. dagdag Christine --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Service performance
I have an issue with a service that makes the UI freeze for a couple of seconds. My app does the following: The user starts a file upload. The Activity starts or binds to a Service passing it the filename of the data. The Service then uploads the file. After initiating the upload by pressing a button, the UI is responsive for about a second. Then it freezes, and it becomes responsive again soon as the service has finished uploading the file, which you see in the UI because the service sends a notification. I have replaced the upload by some dummy processing, with no effect, the UI still freezes. I have replaced the aidl call to the service by an empty call, with no effect. The thing is annoying mostly because after three seconds a popup appears saying the app doesn't respond. Pressing "wait" makes the app continue normally. I decided to display a progress bar during the upload, but that doesn't help either, I still get the error prompt. My question is, can a service take so much resources that the UI freezes for a couple of seconds? Is there a way of giving the service a lower priority? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

You don't display the page from a background thread, you display
things in the UI thread. You load and/or process the data in a
background thread. This is a way of doing that, I'm sure there's other
ways to do it.
private void loadInBackground() {
final Runnable runInUIThread = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// do stuff in UI thread after
}
};
new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
// do stuff in background first
// then call UI thread
mHandler.post(runInUIThread);
}
}.start();

[android-developers] audio video inconsistency
In my app, a user picks video content with
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.setType("video/*");
startActivityForResult(i, MEDIA_SELECTED);
and they start recording video with
Intent i = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(i, MEDIA_SELECTED);
Now, I want to do the same for audio, but I can't:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.setType("audio/*");
startActivityForResult(i, MEDIA_SELECTED);
doesn't start audio selection, but it triggers a chooser with which a
user can select audio capture or selection. There's no
ACTION_AUDIO_CAPTURE intent.
Why is the behavior for video and audio different?

[android-developers] Re: Activity timeout on WebView load
I take it you don't already have a bg thread, or you wouldn't have the problem? The cute way of loading data in the background is to use a service. The simple way is to use a Handler, as Peter suggested. In the handler task, you create a new thread that does the http stuff. If the user needs to wait for the data to display anyway, I think you can prevent the timeout from happening by using a progress bar.

Maybe I should clarify. I use the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent for both picking audio files and video files.

[android-developers] Re: TextView changing from other thread
Only one activity with one view is active at any time. If you want to
update the score in real time from both the logic view and the game
view, the only way to do that is to put both in one activity and one
view. Otherwise, afaik the view in the background would only update
soon as it becomes the active view, in which case you could share the
data through sharedPreferences or a database.
If you really want to have two views in two activities that can share
data in real time, you can create a service that is bound by both
activities and that has callbacks to both activities. But again, I
don't see the point in doing so.

[android-developers] ACTION_GET_CONTENT audio, video
I was wondering, when you do an intent with ACTION_GET_CONTENT and type "video/*" you get just the media browser showing you stored video's from which you can pick one, while with type "audio/*", you first get a chooser which lets you choose between recording audio or selecting from the media library. For recording video you can use MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE but I haven't found a MediaStore.ACTION_AUDIO_CAPTURE. In my app I'd like to have a consistent UI for video and audio, preferably without the separate chooser step. I can do audio capture, but how do I avoid the audio chooser without creating my own audio gallery UI? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Lazy-load images into a ListView
My app loads new data like every four minutes, and if the pic is not there in time, too bad, you'll have it in the next round. What you can do is if the hashmap returns null, subsitute a default pic, which I gues you have to do because you'll probably have a recycled view which already contains a pic - but the wrong one. It gets really weird when you have different views for the items in the listview, like when the user changes the layout, or you have different layouts in portrait mode and landscape, or all of the above. I chose to trade in options for better recycling of views. Another issue is, do you want to spend a lot of time at startup preparing for the listview so the scrolling is smooth, but the user has to wait a little longer, or do you want to display views quickly, at the cost of bumpy scrolling?

I am not familiar with KSOAP, but if that's the json response you get,
you can parse it with xstream or any json parser.

[android-developers] Re: How to Handle Multiple Adapters for one ListView
The alternative would be, if I understand your question correctly, to have one listadapter that takes data from various sources, depending on some variable that is set. Your app would prepare the various sources of data independently, and the getView in your listadapter determines which of the sources is used at what time. I think that would be less complex than having a number of list adapters on one listview in one Activity. But again, I may misinterpret your question.

[android-developers] HTC Magic vs G1 performance
I find that my ADP1 phone has a better performance than my Google IO phone. In some cases, the Magic gets a timeout error where the G1 doesn't, running the same software. Also, I've seen a situation where a service would accidentally take too much resources, which the Magic couldn't handle - the screen would freeze - while the G1 could. The phones have identiical sim cards from the same provider. This means I use my IO phone for testing, mostly :-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Sure.

[android-developers] Re: onSaveInstanceState() normally not called ?
Does it matter when it gets called? You can be sure that it has been called if your onCreate gets called after your app got killed. Maybe onSaveInstanceState sometimes gets called at onpause without the app being actually killed, as Dianne points out, then you'll never get the data back that you saved, but does it matter?

[android-developers] Re: traceview on 64bit computer
Thanks. Actually, I found another solution. In the android_sdk tools/lib directory I replaced swt.jar by the 64 bits version of swt.jar. Then, there's 4 .so files in that directory with the number 3236 in it (that depends on the version of swt that's included in the distribution, different versions of the sdk may have files with different numbers).

[android-developers] Re: traceview on 64bit computer
Thanks. Actually, I found another solution. In the android_sdk tools/lib directory I replaced swt.jar by the 64 bits version of swt.jar. Then, there's 4 .so files in that directory with the number 3236 in it (that depends on the version of swt that's included in the distribution, different versions of the sdk may have files with different numbers). Replace those by the same files with the number 3448 in it - again, a different version of SWT may have a different number. Make sure it's the files from the 64 bits SWT. These files are in the SWT.jar. SWT.jar can be downloaded from www.eclipse.org/swt.

[android-developers] Re: Parsing SOAP request
I have tried KSoap a while ago - maybe it's better now - but I didn't
find it all too useful.. I use XStream to turn an xml response into a
class that my app then uses. Also, I use XStream to create the xml
that I send to the server. It's rather straightforward, actually. On
the server side, I use Apache CXF.

Re: Re : Re : [android-developers] Re: Sharing data between an Android service and an application.
If you only need to provide some parameters at startup, you can do that in the onbind intent. If you don't need tight coupling between activity and service and the amount of data is very limited, you can use sharedpreferences to exchange data.

Can you be more specific about the application that your service needs to communicate with? Is it your own application?

[android-developers] Re: Able to use T-Mobile G1 without contract for application testing?
I have an ADP1 here without a sim card - I put that in the Google IO phone - and I can use the phone on my wifi network. HTC provides updates for the ADP directly from their site, I upgraded to 1.5r2 earlier today. So I see no problem in having an ADP or other Android phone without a contract. I have requested a "duo sim card" from Vodafone so I can use both phones for testing, without having to take out sim cards.
