[android-developers] market? issue

[Greg Donald]

Yesterday I shipped a bug fix update.  The update is a workaround for

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7189


+import android.view.MotionEvent;

[...]

+add_phone.requestFocus( View.FOCUS_DOWN );
+add_phone.setOnTouchListener( new View.OnTouchListener()
+{
+  @Override
+  public boolean onTouch( final View v, final MotionEvent event )
+  {
+switch( event.getAction() )
+{
+  case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
+  case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
+if( !v.hasFocus() )
+{
+  v.requestFocus();
+}
+break;
+}
+return false;
+  }
+} );
+

With that change users running Android 2.3.x can now get a keyboard
when they click into my WebView form fields, yay!

But then this morning a long time user sent me a screen shot of Google
Play telling him his device is not compatible with my app!

I have reviewed my git commit and nothing changed except a few lines
of Java you can see above, and the version numbers in my
AndroidManifest.xml:

-android:versionCode=55
-android:versionName=1.1.2
+android:versionCode=56
+android:versionName=1.1.3

No permissions changed, no SDK version changes, still at 2.2 just like always.

Any idea how to fix this situation?  We're a SaaS company and via
Google Play I just killed his service because I simply shipped a
workaround for an Android keyboard bug.

Re: [android-developers] Oauth2 'Signing In' screen

 I'm just in the process of upgrading my apps to use Oauth2 and Google Play
 services.

 All seems to be going well except that after authorizing my app Google Play
 services swaps from the nice white confirmation screen to a full black
 screen saying 'Signing in...  This can take a few minutes'.  I know that
 when you first setup a Google account it is possible to take multiple
 minutes to do the initial sign on but in my testing this screen appears for
 typically less than a second.  Apart from looking ugly it could be a
 disconcerting for a user - especially if you are not expecting it.

 Anyone got any ideas for how I could remove the message or at least
 substitute it with my own indeterminate progress indicator?


I wrote a set of wrapper URLs around OAuth2 so I could more easily
customize my interface and the login process on Android.  You're not
tied to Android just because you want to use OAuth2, it's just a web
service that happens to have some hooks in Android.

Here are a bunch of the URLs I learned from while writing the wrapper code:

PhoneGap was a little heavy handed, for my use case anyway.


On Android I just use the WebView Javascript Interface:

On iOS I use something very similar to build the Javascript bridge:

https://github.com/marcuswestin/WebViewJavascriptBridge


My jQuery Mobile code ends up being nearly identical for both
platforms.  I just do some extra stuff on iOS to simulate the same
kind of FrameLayout flipping I do in Android.

 So what happens is, people who are actually interested in going because they

That's what it looks like from where I sit.  And still no one can

That's so obviously rigged.

 It's a seriously f-ed up situation, but it is what it is.  As with a lot of

I see no reason to ever try again.  Making something extremely

That's sad when scalpers can get Google IO tickets:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=google%20io_fscr=1


But a full time Android developer like myself only gets to see the No
Tickets Available page from 7 to 7:29am.

How can there be no tickets available at 7:04am, 7:09am, etc, but the
sellout doesn't actually occur until 7:29am?  Why did I have to be
signed in to Google+ account?  For selection purposes?  Seems rigged
as fuck to me.

Thanks for nothing Google.  I won't bother even trying next year.  Keep it.

Re: [android-developers] Is PhoneGap Good Enough?

[Greg Donald]

I've found that most any Android functionality PhoneGap has can be
done with Android Javascript binding + jQuery Mobile.

http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html#BindingJavaScript

http://jquerymobile.com/


Only downside I've found is the Android Javascript binding is slow,
even on really fast phones.

 The bottom line on webview apps is they are ok for simple, single screen

Yeah, anything really complex stands a good chance of making a WebView
die.  And worse, onReceivedError() doesn't get called when the WebView
dying occurs.  onReceivedError() basically only fires for me when
there's a network error.  Could probably benefit from a
yourJsIsMuchTooExoticAndImDyingNow() interface.  I'd really like a way
to flip my FrameLayout contents on anything other than success, but I
don't see where to hook in.  onReceivedError() is not reliable.

I'd also like to be able to load more than one webview at a time.  I
have this one activity where I have two WebViews, I have to stagger my
second request for 200ms or it will sometimes kills the first WebView
request.

The main benefit I found in using jQuery Mobile is that it has the
very reliable vmousedown and vmouseup functions that will bind to
anything in the DOM.  I found vanilla jQuery doesn't reliably bind to
anything but a tags in Android WebKit.

 Greg,

 A couple of things:

 a.) What versions are you seeing this in? Emulator only?

I'm developing mostly on a Samsung Galaxy S II.  I can only imagine
how slow the emulator will be.

 b.) jQuery (in general) is pretty slow on mobile devices. jQuery
 Mobile has come a long way (in the almost 3 years since the project
 started): http://jquerymobile.com/

Yeah, jQuery Mobile seems the way to go.  I'm using vmousedown and
vmouseup now and my css changes work great.

$.each($('tr[class=click]'), function(i, obj) {
$(obj).click(function() {
Android.clickContact($(obj).attr('id'));
$(obj).bind('vmousedown', function() {
$(obj).css(background-color, '#f00');
});
$(obj).bind('vmouseup', function() {
$(obj).css(background-color, 'transparent');
});
});
});

I wish the Javascript binding was faster, but at least now I get some
tap feedback.


 d.) Binding mouseup/down might be problematic with jQuery (due to
 multitouch, trackball, etc).

On this particular project it's outside the market, and fortunately I
have the 5 phones we're targeting.. no trackballs :)

Thanks for the jQuery Mobile suggestion, works great.

And that's wrong, should actually be:

$(obj).click(function() {

$(obj).bind('vmousedown', function() {

$(obj).bind('vmouseup', function() {

Realized it just now when I started seeing some double clicks in Android.

[android-developers] Javascript binding issues

[Greg Donald]

I'm working up some new code that uses Javascript binding, described here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html#BindingJavaScript


1) Is there any way to speed it up?  There's about a 2-3 second delay
before a click executes my Javascript clickContact() function in my
activity.  I'm attaching to my tr with jQuery, like this:

$.each($('tr[class=contact]'), function(i, obj) {
  $(obj).click(function() {
Android.clickContact($(obj).attr('id'));
  });
});

I tried attached to my a tags, but that's just as slow.


My Android code:

public class ContactsJS
{
  private final Contacts con;
  private final Context c;

  public ContactsJS( final Contacts contacts, final Context context )
  {
con = contacts;
c = context;
  }

  public void clickContact( final String contact_id )
  {
con.clickContact( contact_id );
  }
}


WebView contacts = (WebView) findViewById( R.id.contacts );
contacts.addJavascriptInterface( new ContactsJS( this, this ), Android );


It works, but it's really slow.


2) How can I get WebKit to provide some sort of click feedback?  Since
I have problem #1, described above, I really need to provide some
click/tap feedback.  My jQuery code below works great in Chrome and
Firefox, highlights red like expected, but in the Android browser it
doesn't do anything.  I had some debug code in there, mousedown and
mouseup never fire.

$.each($('a[class=click]'), function(i, obj) {
  $(obj).mousedown(function() {
$(obj).parent().css(background-color, '#f00');
  }).mouseup(function() {
$(obj).parent().css(background-color, 'transparent');
  });
});

I also tried the other mouse events described here:

http://api.jquery.com/category/events/mouse-events/

And I tried attaching to the trs and tds instead of my as, can't
get anything to fire in the Android browser.

How can I provide some click feedback for my slow Javascript binding?


Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] Best way to distribute app outside of Market

That method only works for me if the recipient is using the Gmail app.
 The other mail readers on Android don't seem to know what an apk file
is.

An even larger hurdle is explaining to the user why they have to
change their settings to even install my app.

All in all, distribution outside the Market is fairly painful.

[android-developers] how to revoke google api grants

[Greg Donald]

I'm working with some example code here:

http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/source/browse/picasa-android-sample/src/main/java/com/google/api/services/samples/picasa/android/PicasaSample.java?repo=samples

I authorized access in my Android app, but I cannot find where to now
revoke access, so I can run through it again.


I checked the URL where I've been revoking access while building the
web version of my Single Sign On stuff:

https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens

But it's not listed there, is there a different URL for Android?

I've searched through the phone menus.. even uninstalled my test app,
but the permissions still persist somewhere, I'm never asked for them
again since the first request.


I searched the google-api tag, found nothing:

http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bgoogle-api%5D+revoke


Thanks.

[android-developers] Android fragmentation study

[Greg Donald]

http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support

Wow.. I knew it was bad, but man.


most app developers will end up targeting an ancient version of the
OS in order to maximize market reach.

I totally agree.. It will literally be years before I will begin to
care about the new 4.0.  I'm still supporting devices running 2.1 and
will be for some time to come.

is not challenging whatsoever compared to getting your apps working
well on lots of different Android devices running lots of different
SKD versions and resolutions.


 Windows, Mac OSX, a ton of server technologies, databases, etc., they all
 have tons of different versions available to support. Most companies stick
 with older versions because it is what they have and it is working. When it
 comes to Android, I've been pleasantly surprised at the efforts Google has
 gone through to help manufacturers upgrade.

That's point of the article.  Manufacturers aren't upgrading.  They
ship the device and wash their hands of it.  Users on 2 year upgrade
contracts are using ancient software versions on their phones.  Read

[android-developers] BitmapFactory.decodeResource() zero width/height

[Greg Donald]

I am loading a bitmap and then creating a new scaled version like this:

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.grid );
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postScale( (float) getSize() / bm.getWidth(), (float) getSize()
/ bm.getHeight() );
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap( bm, 0, 0, bm.getWidth(),
bm.getHeight(), matrix, true );

On Android 2.2 bm.getWidth() returns zero sometimes making my
createBitmap() call raise the exception

IllegalArgumentException: width and height must be  0

I am not seeing it on any other Android version, just 2.2.

My R.drawable.grid is a png with an alpha layer.  I was reading about
some problems others were having with Android decoding pngs but I
couldn't find any cases with the width and height returning zero.

Any idea how to fix?


Thanks.

 What is the easiest way to clear out an ACRA report in Google Docs?

I found it was very difficult to use the spreadsheet method.  Too many
columns, too much scrolling.  By the time I would find the column out
to the right, I'd forgotten why I was looking there.  The stack traces
are way too tall and make vertical scrolling fairly useless even on my
largest monitor.

I ended up going the server route.  I put two tables in my database
and split the report into a crash summary with the trace, and then the
rest of the crash data goes into another table.  That way I can get a
count on same traces to fix the bigger issues first.

Re: [android-developers] SSL Android

That's pretty much what I'm doing.  I have a self-signed certificate
on this one game I built and this method works fine with that.  It
doesn't matter who signed your cert (especially these days) so as long
as you're hitting an https url.  It's the encryption you care about,
not the certificate authority who signed off on it.

Re: [android-developers] android and real time

[Greg Donald]

Real time kernel is just a kernel with a particular scheduler
compiled in.  It's not going to make your device faster.  It just
means jobs get executed differently than with other kernel schedulers.
 They get a more fair cpu time slice is all.  This will actually make
long running jobs take longer since there is more context switching
between jobs all the time.

 Take a real time Linux OS and manage android layer to match

 Or don’t change the Linux part and work on the android layer and
 manage it to be real time OS

 Or just develop a real time kernel as an application or API and with
 it we can make other real time application or game.

 encryption, if you are sending the data to the wrong place?

My Android game is the only client of my self-signed setup.  I do not
need to worry about data going to the wrong place, I do not process
credit cards or interact with anything but the game client.  I'm not
buying into the CA racket for such a non important thing as an Android
game.  Self-signed is fine for this case.  The server and it's streams
to my Android app are just as secure if I had spent the CA money.

And while you're freaking out over me not paying the CA money, I'll
add.. I've worked for several employers who hosted their own in-house
email and such and self-signed certs are very popular in those
instances.  I know of two major health care providers in my town who
use self-signed certs for PHI.

And finally, I have another Android project at my day job.  I use an
actual CA cert for that.  We have client data being passed.  It
matters there, not to mention I don't want to field calls from people
like yourself freaking out over the little browser thingy not glowing
green or whatever the latest CA eye-candy enticements may be this

}

return dialog;

super.onDestroy();
dismissDialog( Splash.DIALOG_SPLASH );

Also tried it without the dismissDialog() call in onDestroy().

The exceptional condition is:

09-09 20:05:12.626: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3831): Caused by:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 0 was ever shown

It's a sure thing.

Good luck to the next guy..  I can't make it work.

I don't know if it's any one particular Activity causing the issue,
none of my code appear in the stack trace..  but my typical pattern
looks like this:


private void getCurrentGames()
  {
if( this != null )
{
  progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show( this, Working . . .,
Getting current games.. );
}

new Thread()
{
  @Override
  public void run()
  {
getCurrentGames();
handler.post( updateCurrentGames );

if( this != null  progressDialog != null )
{
  try
  {
progressDialog.dismiss();
  }
  catch( Exception e )
  {
  }
}
  }
}.start();
  }

How can I keep my dismiss() calls from blowing up?  Why doesn't try/catch work?

 Keep a class-level reference to the dialog and dismiss it if you're being
 destroyed.

Well, I just have the one instance I reuse everywhere already.  And if
what you said below about it being asynchronous is true, then my other
checks to see if it's still around could still pass later.

I don't get why if( this != null ) evaluates to true when the stack
trace seems to imply the Activity is gone already.

 2 - You rotate device while it's still showing.

Exactly what I'm hearing.  Rotate, boom.

  Why doesn't try/catch work?

 I *think* because dismiss is asynchronous - calling dismiss just puts the
 dialog in the queue for cleanup. I think.

Geez..  I'm thinking I might just lock it in to landscape mode and
forgo the grief.

That's exactly what I ended up doing, comparing height and width,
which should work all the time, even through times of deprecation.

Half of the four orientation values seem useless to me.  All I care
about is if the screen is taller than it is wide or not, that's it.
Not like I'm gonna draw something different if a user holds the device
upside down or not.  And I seriously doubt anyone has four different
views for their app.. most will have one, maybe two.

 A nice person spent a long time harassing me about this change because they

 developers needed by deprecating the getOrientation() method.  I never
 figured out exactly what was motivating all of that.  But if that person is

From where I sit Android is becoming really hard to keep up with.  I
have a ton of 2.1 users still so I need to stay with API version 7.
The current API is 13, that's almost double the version I need to stay
at.  I can't force people to upgrade or buy a new phone.  Meanwhile
the SDK docs show more and more non documentation for API version 7
every day due the continuing deprecation.

What's a developer to do?

[android-developers] getOrientation() madness

[Greg Donald]

Using API version 7, this code produces the exact opposite results on
my Evo versus my Galaxy Tab:

switch( getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation() )
{
  case 0:
display_mode = MyApplication.HORIZONTAL;
break;

  case 1:
display_mode = MyApplication.VERTICAL;
break;

  case 2:
display_mode = MyApplication.HORIZONTAL;
break;

  case 3:
display_mode = MyApplication.VERTICAL;
break;
}

log( display_mode:  + ( display_mode == MyApplication.HORIZONTAL
? HORIZONTAL : VERTICAL ) );


I switched to API version 13 to see if the problem was fixed in the
future, and it also tells lies from one device to another.


I have dynamic full screen graphics that cannot be skewed.  I'm having
to write code to compensate for the Galaxy Tab's 48 pixel bar at the
bottom.  getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() says it's
800 but it's really only 752 due to the bar.  Now I find I cannot even
count on the display orientation being accurate to code up a fix for
the initial problem.


So how do I contend with this mess?

What other devices can I count on to lie about their display and orientation?

it's so slow and unresponsive, that's not gonna work.

[android-developers] qHD layouts?

[Greg Donald]

What do I need to name my layout folders to get a qHD device to notice
them?  I have tried layout-large and layout-large-port but the device
refuses to use them and still uses my layouts from my layout and
layout-port folders.

The device I am working with is the EVO 3D.  The resolution is
960x540, which isn't listed here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

The device is drawing my app in the top middle of the screen, with
huge black borders around it, even with my layout's height and width
both being set to fill_parent.

How do I support qHD with proper layouts?

Re: [android-developers] qHD layouts?

[Greg Donald]

-   uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 /
+   uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=7 /

This is what fixed it.  Everything is filling the screen again.

Some test code I used:

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics( metrics );

app.log( heightPixels:  + metrics.heightPixels );
app.log( widthPixels:  + metrics.widthPixels );

Looks like sdk version 3 is hard coded to 320x480, no matter what
phone I run it on.  Good to know.  I guess I'm into sdk version 7 from
here on.

I always build two versions of every app I make.  The free, ad based

[android-developers] list view with alpha transparency effect

I have a list view using a layout that has a background color of #8000.

When I scroll the list, the list item background color change to a
solid color, in this case black.  Seems it's ignoring the alpha

Is there a way to make it not do that?

Looks like setCacheColorHint() exists for the list view itself but my

Re: [android-developers] list view with alpha transparency effect

[Greg Donald]

 You need to call setCacheColorHint() on the ListView itself. You need
 do this only once.

Like this?

list = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.list );
int color = Color.argb( 80, 0, 0, 0 );
list.setCacheColorHint( color );

If that's what you meant, it makes it worse.  My list view items never
even become transparent again after scrolling now.

Still black when scrolling, only becoming transparent after the
scrolling ends.  And a lot of the time I have to actually touch an
item to get the transparency back.

I'm just gonna go with solid black.  No flicker to worry about.  Thanks anyway.

you do not even bother to provide a lot of chances for clicks you

[android-developers] BroadcastReceiver not working

[Greg Donald]

I can't get my BroadcastReceiver to work.  I'm not getting any errors
so I'm not sure what the issue is.

My class looks like this:

public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
  @Override
  public void onReceive( final Context context, final Intent intent )
  {
Log.i( l, onReceive() );
Log.i( l, context:  + context );
Log.i( l, intent:  + intent );

if( intent.getAction().equals( Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL ) )
{
  String number = intent.getExtras().getString( Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER );
  Log.i( l, number:  + number );
}
  }
}

I am using the statically publish method.  I have an entry like this
between my application tags in my manifest:

receiver android:enabled=true
android:name=com.example.shared.CallReceiver/receiver

I have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission in my manifest:

uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE/uses-permission

To test it I am simply placing an out going call.  The problem is I
never see any of the log messages I am expecting to see.  What am I
missing or doing wrong?


Thanks.

Since we last spoke, I found I needed to add an intent-filter:

But the number is still coming up null when I do this:

String number = intent.getExtras().getString( Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER );
Log.i( l, number:  + number );

How can I get the outgoing phone number?

[android-developers] sqlite access

[Greg Donald]

Is it possible for an activity and a service to both have simultaneous
access to the same sqlite db?  So far I can't seem to find a way due
to the failed to close() exception I get when I make the second
connection.  I've tried a couple different setups so far, and it seems
my only option may be to have my db stuff live inside the service so I
never need the second connection.  Is my thinking correct or am I
missing something?

Thanks,

 The way I do it is by creating an Application subclass with helper methods

 Another thing I do (which works in my case because db access doesn't happen
 all that often) is open the database before every transaction and close it
 at the end.

So in addition to only being able to have the single db instance, you
also find you have to take precautions (using transactions) to only
give it one query at a time?  Am I understanding correctly?

Thanks for the insight on this.  I've only built games so far, and am
just now getting into my first business app with services and dbs

[android-developers] How to get the selected Overlay index

[Donald]

hi  guys,
 i'm working with a google maps for a while now. i'm having multiple
markers in the map once you select a perticular maker an Overaly will
appear so once the Overlay is selected i want to get the index of the
overlay. every time its 0.

this is how i'm adding overlays


GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int) (postal_lat * 1E6),
(int) (postal_lng * 1E6));
Drawable postal_icon =
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.location);
MyItemizedOverlay   itemizedOverlay2 = new
MyItemizedOverlay(postal_icon, mapview);

OverlayItem overlayItem_postal = new OverlayItem(point,
postal_msg, null);
itemizedOverlay2.addOverlay(overlayItem_postal);


MyItemizedOverlay implementation


public class MyItemizedOverlay extends
BalloonItemizedOverlayOverlayItem {

private ArrayListOverlayItem m_overlays = new
ArrayListOverlayItem();
private Context c;

public MyItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, MapView mapView) {
super(boundCenter(defaultMarker), mapView);
c = mapView.getContext();
}

public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay, int id) {
m_overlays.add(overlay);
populate();
}

@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
return m_overlays.get(i);
}

@Override
public int size() {
return m_overlays.size();
}

@Override
protected boolean onBalloonTap(int index) {
NearestLocation near = MapInfo.nearestArray[index];
Toast.makeText(c, index  + near.getPartname() + index,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}

}
 onBalloonTap always returns 0??

regards,
Mike

Re: [android-developers] reducing android.permission.*

 In order to reduce the number of permission my application requests,
 it would be handy to have a list of calls that are require a

 Does such a list exist anywhere?  Doing a search in the android
 reference doesn't seem to come up with anything...

 ideas?

Remove them all, and test the app.  Only add back what you need to
make it work again.  To me that's way faster than looking everything
up in some reference that doesn't even exist.

[android-developers] Android Activity stack

[Donald]

hi guys,

Assume i have two activities Activity A and B

Activity B will display a list

which will display a 25 result list. this also contains a pagination
logic. if user select next it will display the next 25 result list.

so assume that user is in the third page. from the third page if user
selects back i want display Activity A. which i have already done.

but when i click back button from Activity A i want to exit the
application so once i press the back button from Activity A i use
finish()

but Application will not exit.

rather it displays the 1,2 list results then only application will
exit.

i want to achieve this with out setting the noHistory attribute in
manifest.

ragards,

Mike

Anyone and everyone has this problem.  I use

It'd be nice to have something in Android that IS present all the
