[android-developers] Re: Android WebView resolving URL occasionally results in multiple hits with different user agents
Have you logged the strUserAgent to observe the value?
when you say "wrapper" it lends itself to wondering if the device inserts
its own bit of info...
Other than that, I can only say the WebView is and has always been flaky,
so nothing surprises me.

Re: [android-developers] Ethernet cables?
Toshiba Thrive for sure works with USB-Ethernet (Amazon sells a USB-ethernet adapter) with other low-draw devices as well on a passive hub One issue I've run into thus far is the ConnectivityManager does not inform you of loss of connectivity (it will however inform you of getting it) Also, the when receiving the broadcast intent saying you have connectivity, the state is described as ETHERNET, and connected/connected, but isAvailable is always false :( A bigger issue is that Many apps, including several of Google's do not do a generic "is connected" kind of check, they are looking specifically for wifi or mobile... You can tell because they scream across the logs lol Basically, if you are using a generic(type agnostic) check for connectivity before each call to a server, and place a "listener" for connectivity that checks at intervals and reports back, you can get by, until the OS supports this mode fully (ie breaks your app) Luckily I only need this solution for a specific app and device. hope it helps some... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] ICS USB Host mode -- device permission exists after uninstall
Acer Iconia A500 and Acer Iconia A500 Android 4.0.3 (Lord knows what custom joy layered over that) I can uninstall (via ADB or the Apps settings) and install the app again, the app will show permission is already granted for all connected devices (that are part of the app's scope)... Here's the best part: I can successfully retrieve devices, endPoints and interfaces -- with one of the devices, I can even open the device connection -- but with the printer, I consistently return null from UsbManager.openDevice() Restarting the device (without reinstalling the app) forces the correct behavior, ie the system requests permission for all devices and the app operates as expected. I recall this from Honeycomb, and unless I am mistaken, I thought this behavior was fixed in ICS. I suppose I should file a bug, as I searched for one and did not find it, but I am in the middle of a project so I figured I would inquire where some of the Core Android folks like to hang ;) Anyone?

Second, I have used the web view extensively in 3.0+, and the standard Selection actionmode functions fairly well - so long as you are only trying to pass the data around the system...

[android-developers] Re: listview adapter. Recycle bitmap
You should look into Romain Guy's 2009/10 Google I/O presentations on
UI -- he is the whip with ListViews/UI.
If you're looking for what I think you're looking to do -- which is
speed up that list view -- he has a view holder pattern that will do
just that.

Maybe have fun and fix things instead of making your dev base out to
be fools (see Google I/O 2011 videos on you tube)
Keep up the good work ;)

[android-developers] Re: Webview android
You are enabling JavaScript in the WebView, yes? If so, and you still have problems, I would invite you to browse around with Android's "Browser" to the various library sites' demo pages and watch the fail unfold... It has issues with many things, JavaScript included. It is the public facing version, and actually functions "better" than the API's WebView in many respects. If you are counting on using a JavaScript Library with the internal WebView, count on a world of hurt. As for using Firefox's webkit as a webview, that is a project of enormous magnitude, as in porting yet another webkit to Android... And I am not snarking, tyvm ;) Peace, Dan On Sep 9, 3:07 pm, Jeremy Dagorn wrote: > Hi, > > Look at the documentation, there is a simple example about how to load > an URL from a > WebView!http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview > > Best, > > On Sep 9, 11:53 am, Christian Bianchini wrote: > > > > > > > > > I have a problem with webview, I tried to use thehttp://raphaeljs.com/ > > library but was working only on my computer.

[android-developers] Honeycomb -- Activity.getIntent().getExtras().getString() encountering race condition?
More just feeling out the community/wondering if anyone has seen this than concerned about our issue, our fix works and has yet to fail. I may file a bug -- but why at this point, whither goest thou, oh Honeycomb? ;) Actually, I am just too busy to write a simple case and try to reproduce this atm Situation: Activity One sends a non-null String via Intent and startActivityForResult() (won't execute/send if it's null -- we verified this) Activity two starts and calls an internal AsyncTask which uses `Activity.this.getIntent().getExtras().getString()` as a parameter for an object This fails intermittently (sometimes yes, sometimes no) Insert these three lines of code above the Object instantiation : Intent i = Activity.this.getIntent(); Bundle b = i.getExtras(); String filename = b.getString(); And it has yet to receive null. I decided to place those three lines of code in onCreate and use a String field instead of accessing the Activity's Intent within doInBackground and have yet to encounter the issue since doing so. Anyone encountered this particular situation? Peace, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Android development is very bad
You will get more snark than help here, both because of the language barrier, your attitude and because, most likely, no one here can help you... The majority of Android apps do not push the envelope, nor do the majority of android devs... If you enjoy the "xcode gives me everything" environment, stick with it. Android requires you to start from scratch for the most part (that's why the quick app dev contests typically go to Apple) and to understand the framework which you are employing very thoroughly for projects like the one it sounds like you are involved in. Snarkiness aside, you are just in the wrong place to get an answer for this question. As has been mentioned, if you bring $$$ Google will support you, if you bring "I hate Android" you will not find answers...

[android-developers] Re: how to enable the dragging option in android browser?
AFAIK, the browser and WebView are Very limited and Very Different beasts -- Text selection (as in creating a Selection object in the underlying DOM) and Drag/Drop are not implemented/implementable through the API's given us, although I have seen window.getSelection() give spurious and odd results with broken Selection objects being returned. Browser has a Number of issues with JavaScript in the wild (try to use the browser on jQuery/YUI/XUI etc sample pages for a taste of what I mean... It even balks at standard JS fairly regularly) Silence has been the only answer I have seen regarding this, both in bug reports and around the various forums... I believe they are more than aware, but it is a long road to fix such a complex set of interactions -- maybe ICS :) Peace, Dan On Aug 12, 4:32 am, Duygu Kahraman wrote: > i check in device.Dragging option doesnt work too. > > Duygu Kahramanhttp://tr.linkedin.com/in/duygukahramann > > 2011/8/12 simi > > > > > > > > > i want to run the site "http://html5demos.com/drag"; .. actually this > > site is opening in android browser(1e,in android emulator).but can not > > do the drag option.. what should do for dragging the texts in > > emulator Is there any workaround possible for working > > the HTML5 drag and drop example in emulator browser? > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > > Groups "Android Developers" group. > > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > > For more options, visit this group at > >http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Java script to Native Bindings & reverse
You can pass simple data types (String, int), objects will not
translate. -- JSON should be fine as (key, value) or multiple comma
separated values
for example, I pass xpath and offset info regularly like so:
String startXPath,endXPath,uniqueID,highlightStyle;
int startOffset, endOffset;
final String paramString = "'" + startXPath + " ', "
+ startOffset + ", ' " + endXPath + " ', " + endOffset + ", ' "
+ uniqueID+ " ', ' "+ highlightStyle + " ' ";
_webView.loadUrl(JAVASCRIPT_HOOK + "GLOBAL.performHighlight (" +
paramString + ")");
where JAVASCRIPT_HOOK = "javascript:"
if you are passing int primitives, use no quotes (hopefully the
formatting of the web post isn't screwing up the code above too much),
for Strings, be certain to include single quotes in your call from
Java
Coming back from JavaScript, you only receive String values, so pipe
or comma-delimiting is the way to go (ie "primitive0|primitive1|
primitive3" etc)
Peace,
Dan

[android-developers] WebView TextSelection + JavaScript issue in 3.1+ - solution opinions?
Hello All, Problem domain: WebView based ePub format reader need text highlights which are accessible via JavaScript methods (ie turn em on, turn em off, save them email them, etc) Anyone in the know, please correct me if I'm wrong: During text selection on a WebView -- Basically we are handed a TextView overlay (WebTextView) which is IN NO WAY attached to the underlying html other than visually (nice job on lining it all up and making it seamless, btw), on which we perform the TextSelectionActionMode and the ClipboardManager is supplied with the results... So in order to make this behavior work in 3.1+, I have two possible plans going forward to implement my own selection on a WebView -- this is the part where I'm wondering if I cannot see out of my corner :) -- 1) capture MOTION_DOWN of the long click which initiates selection mode, override the built in TextSelection ActionMode( to provde the clients branding -- the way I found to do so is so hackish it hurts) watch the drag, capture MOTION_UP position, map these coords onto the WebView, and make my selection based on the coords (while comparing the text to that captured by the ClipboardManager) 2) create my own "WebTextView" (whole lotta work lol) and not-so- hackishly create my own ActionMode and do all of the above These are the options I see, hopefully my proximity and frustration with this have blinded me to a simpler (read that as built-in) solution or two.

[android-developers] WebView text selection and persistent highlighting dilemma
Hello All, I am working on a non-trivial epub format book reader project in 3.1+, implementing it within a WebView. I am stymied at the text selection/highlight phase (luckily ? I have many more operations to polish up and implement). I can , of course highlight text and use the Clipboard manager in it's intended role (copy/paste, et al). The problem is twofold when I attempt to enable persistent text highlighting within the WebView itself: 1) the ClipboardManager does not (currently) seem well-suited for this -- I have implemented the OnPrimaryClipChangedListener to capture the clipboard text and process it within my WebView, but, being that I cannot override the System Clipboard ActionBar menu, I receive the text as would any app, only upon clicking "Copy" etc... and the menu, though nice, is not "ours". I have seen the results of polling the ClipboardManager.hasPrimaryClip() for it's text as well so I believe that path is doom-laden :) 2) I have attempted to use the ActionMode pattern, but overriding onDragEvent() within my WebView is non-responsive (as in it never fires) and gives me the dreaded "Miss a drag as we are waiting for WebCore's response for touch down." -- as I am trying to control page turning/navigation within the WebView (javascript disables ontouch events) for the obvious reason that it is a book reader, not a webpage. As an aside, I notice that Google's flagship "Books" app, though pretty, also does not allow highlighting/text selection... with the splitting of images between pages, we were thinking it might be a WebView implementation as well -- just a slight beg for source code... only slight, really :) If it is not clear from the above, I am wondering how to get control of the ClipboardManager, or barring that (which I assume I cannot do as it is a System service), maybe someone can point me in the direction of a workaround for webcore so cruelly denying Java the ability to control the world. I am open to taking complete control of motion events if need be, but that is so demanding for such a seemingly simple task as this... I mean, really, Amazon does what we want to do in Kindle for Droid... :) Thanks for your time!

[android-developers] Re: How to quit the app?
I believe what they are getting at is that "quitting an app" in Android is not usually necessary (if ever). My favorite link for this subject (quoted words from Herself): http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html It is a different world from the way Some OS's behave (no finger pointing)... trust the OS to do it's job, and write good code... Simple, right?
