[android-developers] Re: how to manage different resolution under same density?
That's right there is a 4 by 4 matrix of theoretically possible devices However, you only need to include graphics for the 4 generalised densities: drawable-hdpi drawable-ldpi drawable-mdpi drawable-xhdpi One screen being physically larger than another doesn't mean it will have more content...Density is the primary factor: There is a good explanation here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2638202/android-multiple-screen-sizes-with-same-density Regards, Glen On Jun 7, 9:04 am, Hitendrasinh Gohil hitendrasin...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, As i know there are 4 types of screen size and 4 types of density.But how to manage the graphics for different resolution under same density?

[android-developers] Layout: N Gallerys
Hi Guys, I've been presented with a design that looks visually like an arbitrary number of gallery views. [Gallery 1] [Gallery 2] ... [Gallery N] It looks similar to the Pulse newsreader application.Can anyone suggest an approach? I was thinking along the lines: 1. A standard ListView with a standard GalleryView in each row 2. A standard ListView with a custom Horizontal ListView in each row [http://www.dev-smart.com/archives/34] 3. Building a custom view from scratch Are these first 2 approaches feasible memory wise?

Re: [android-developers] Runtime exception while audio recording
A couple of things to try: 1. Make sure permission is set in your manifest: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO/ 2. Make sure the source file's permissions are okay 3. Try calling reset() on the MediaRecorder prior to setting the source.

[android-developers] Re: Is Application.onCreate() always called when broadcast receiver gets onReceive()?
There are parts of the application that are created prior to Application.onCreate being called: notably ContentProviders The Application.onCreate documentation was changed recently: From: Called when the application is starting, before any other application objects have been created. To: Called when the application is starting, before any activity, service, or receiver objects have been created. Note that content providers are created before the application object (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8727) It now explicitly mentions that 'receiver objects' are created prior to onCreate being called. So you should be okay, but good to check the source. Just as a sanity check, but you've included the Application in your manifest file? This would also prevent onCreate from being called. Good luck bud.

I hit this problem a few weeks ago:
There are many possible solutions in this thread here:

[android-developers] Installation: Separated Client and Service
Hello, We have an application that consists of a UI and a download-service that downloads content. In the future, we would like to: 1. Share our download-service with other applications 2. Offer various branded and customised versions of the client [Would appear as separate downloads in the Android store] We would like all clients running on the phone to share the download- service. Android is designed to facilitate thisBUT If we create 2 package files. How do we handle installations? Scenario 1: New User A new user (without the download-service) installs the client from the Android market. How do we seamlessly accomplish the install? (Avoid them installing each package separately) Scenario 2: A user with the download-service already installed downloads another client. How do we detect that the service is already installed? Does anyone have any suggestions to simplify the installation process? Thanks, Glen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Home Screen Widget: Start Programmatically
Hiya, My understanding is that it is not possible to auto start a home screen widget. (There are many posts saying it cannot be done) However, we've found that the majority of our users don't know how to start Android widgets. So we've provided a step by step dialogue to explain it. However, the boss claims that there is an application auto starting their home screen widget: The OpenTable app (download from Android Market) prompts you when you first launch to install a home screen widget. You click yes, and the widget is automatically installed on the home screen with no additional prompts. I believe he's on the new Acer tablet running honeycomb. How are they doing this?

[android-developers] Re: Home Screen Widget: Start Programmatically
Thanks Mark. Yes I was asking about doing an auto start But Installing a short-cut is an interesting alternative. (Noting your portability reservations) I've found an intent for accomplishing this: intent.setAction(com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT); I'm now wondering if it is possible to detect if a particular short- cut exists on the user's home screen. My first thought is 'File' / 'exists'. But I don't think this will work: . We don't know the device's home screen path (or if the device has a home screen -- if it does it will be platform dependent) . We don't have permission to open the home screen application's files So I assume this is not possible which presents another problem...

For starters, you have no idea if the user's home screen even *supports* app widgets.

Your boss is confused, at best. When you first run Open Table, it prompts you to install a *shortcut* on the home screen. Even this, AFAIK, relies on undocumented features of certain home screen implementations. Moreover, a shortcut is not an app widget. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Renderscript: You Tube Carousel
Hi Guys, Do you have any idea when the renderscript code used to create the you tube carousel will be open sourced? This thread from February mentions that there are plans to do it, but I'm unable to find updates: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/8f3de1342b904734 There is a Carousel sample here: http://code.google.com/p/android-ui-utils/downloads/detail?name=CarouselExample.zip This Carousel is more like the one used to do play lists in the platform audio player. I'm specifically looking for one that facilitates a rotating wall of videos as seen on the opening screen of the You Tube application.
