[android-developers] Software and Game dedicated keyboards
Dedicated keyboard skins are available like this http://www.solotype.com/images/thumbs/0001168_430.jpeg which showed shortcut keys cheat sheets directly on the keys. This is called a dedicated keyboard. I was thinking I would be great if these dedicated keyboard skins were available on tablets I haven't seen this type of thing yet. Even an on-screen keyboard for pc's to use as a cheat sheet could be helpful there are not many option available to help mesmerising these - I'm always forgetting the Photoshop shortcut keys. When I'm working between after effects, and illustrator and autocad it's gets very confusing each software has different shortcuts. If I could work on tablet and either preview the shortcut key by having them display beside the key letters or switch between a visual "text keyboard" and a "shortcut keyboard" I could be more productive, I'm not suggesting keys in that link I've supplied are good design it's just an example.

[android-developers] Re: MediaController with MediaPlayer
Hi Giuseppe, You can call MediaController's show(int timeout) method and pass MediaPlayer.getDuration() as parameter to it.

[android-developers] RecognizerIntent not working; “missing extra calling_package”
I'm having problems using the RecognizerIntent API on Android 2.2. When I call the API using this code: Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH); intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_WEB_SEARCH); startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_VOICE_SEARCH); which looks like it should work, the search popup says "Unknown problem" on the device and in the logs it states: 01-17 14:25:30.433: ERROR/RecognitionActivity(9118): ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH intent called incorrectly. Maybe you called startActivity, but you should have called startActivityForResult (or otherwise included a pending intent). 01-17 14:25:30.433: INFO/RecognitionControllerImpl(9118): startRecognition(#Intent;action=android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH;launchFlags=0x80;component=com.google.android.voicesearch/.IntentApiActivity;B.fullRecognitionResultsRequest=true;S.android.speech.extra.LANGUAGE_MODEL=free_form;end) 01-17 14:25:30.433: INFO/RecognitionControllerImpl(9118): State change: STARTING -> STARTING 01-17 14:25:30.443: ERROR/RecognitionControllerImpl(9118): required extra 'calling_package' missing in voice search intent 01-17 14:25:30.443: ERROR/RecognitionControllerImpl(9118): ERROR_CLIENT 01-17 14:25:30.443: ERROR/RecognitionControllerImpl(9118): ERROR_CLIENT It looks like the problem is the missing "calling_package" extra; on the RecognizerIntent page it states that this extra is: The extra key used in an intent to the speech recognizer for voice search. Not generally to be used by developers. The system search dialog uses this, for example, to set a calling package for identification by a voice search API. If this extra is set by anyone but the system process, it should be overridden by the voice search implementation.

[android-developers] Question about services
I've been reading Mark Murphy's books about Android programming and I am having trouble understanding some things about services. As I understand it there are "local" and "remote" services that I can create. However, what I don't understand are the use cases for when you would use one over the other. Here's basically what I need to do and I'm not sure about which service type to use. I want to create an application and a homescreen widget that both get data from a service. I had in mind a service where the application and the widget could register a callback with the service to get data updates. Is that best done by a remote or a local service, or does it matter? Can either one be used? Any hints or tips would be great. Oh, if it matters the app, widget, and service will be in a single apk.

Re: [android-developers] Android & Corba
CORBA no. However, you can do client server apps using ICE from ZeroC (http://www.zeroc.com/labs/android/index.html). I did CORBA programming several years ago and stumbled onto ICE a year or so ago.

Re: [android-developers] Registering OnClick listener on AppWidget button
Thanks. I bought a subscription to your books and have actually been
going through this code trying to figure it out. If I understand
correctly this is the snippet of code that handles the refresh button:
public void onReceive(Context ctxt, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction()==null) {
ctxt.startService(new Intent(ctxt, UpdateService.class));
}
else {
super.onReceive(ctxt, intent);
}
}
What I'd like to do is expand this code to be able to handle three
different buttons. However, I'm not sure how to do that.
Incidentally, that would be a great addition to this widget in your
book -- adding another button. I'm not entirely sure what it would
do, but it would be nice to see an example of handling more than one
button press (that isn't a configuration app launcher).
Thanks for the books BTW. They've been helpful.

OK, since it appears I can't get a simple answer without a long explanation My application is one such that the user moves their phone around a lot. During this movement I want to keep the orientation constant -- I DON'T WANT ANDROID TO HANDLE THE ROTATION. So, in my manifest I set the orientation to portrait to prevent Android from mucking with the orientation. However, I am now making some additions and would like the user to be able to choose portrait or landscape mode, but whatever they choose needs to stick. Again, I don't want Android to handle the rotation. As the phone is moved around I want whichever orientation they chose to stick. Does that make sense? Now, how do I do this?

[android-developers] Portrait/landscape question
I've got an app that I don't want to auto-rotate. Currently, I've got it set up so that it is always in portrait mode. However, I'd like to add a setting to my preferences where the user can choose either portrait or landscape mode. Is there a way to force screen rotation?

[android-developers] Can someone test my app on the Nexus One and Droid?
I published an app that works in all the emulators I've tried and on the two Android phones that I've tried. I've got the Droid and my wife has the Eris. This morning I received the OTA update to 2.1 and now all the fonts in my app are REALLY tiny and unreadable. My app looks fine in the 2.1 emulator, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone know anything about this problem? I'd appreciate it if people would try my app on the following phones and let me know if the fonts are OK. * Droid before 2.1 update * Droid after 2.1 update * Nexus One The app is called "Just GPS" by "42 Productions" and is free in the Android market.

[android-developers] Not sure if this is possible
I want to write an app that would just be for my phone. I don't intend to distribute it. Basically, what I want to do is write a replacement phone app. However, all the phone API's that the existing phone app uses are all internal non-public API's. So, my questions: 1. I've seen time and time again on this list that the Android developers don't like people using internal Android classes, but since this will just be for my phone I don't see a big deal here. So, how do I get access to those internal classes. I'm not looking at the code now, but off the top of my head I believe the PhoneFactory and Phone classes are what I need. 2. I don't really want to root my phone, but to do something like this do I need to root the phone?

OK, here is what I don't understand about Android. The API allows me to send SMS messages without starting the messaging app, but I can't place a phone call without going through the phone app. I really just don't get it. Both services cost money for the user. Why isn't this functionality exposed to the developers?

Re: [android-developers] Pulling my hair out
Can you point me to the source code for the phone app? I have found the class I want to access, but it is an internal class and I know the Android dev's frown on gaining access to internal class. The class it looks like I need to use is the the com.android.internal.telephony.Phone class, which I don't have access to in the normal SDK and I don't know how to access that class.

Re: [android-developers] Grrrrr.... 100 SMS per hour
After the 100 messages limit Android pops up a dialog saying something about sending a large number of messages and asking the user if they want to continue. When they click OK or Cancel are there events generated that I can get? I've been watching the SMS sent event and then keying the next message off that event. That works fine until Android starts popping up the dialog, then the SMS events stop coming and my application loses its state. I didn't want to just assume the message went through and keep sending messages, but I might need to. Any ideas, or is this an Android bug? BTW: I'm using the 1.5 emulator. I've not yet tried it in a later version of Android.

[android-developers] Dialer Question
I've got an application where I need to dial a phone number. This is
how I'm starting the dialer:
int DIAL = 1;
Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:5551212"));
startActivityForResult(dial, DIAL);
After the phone call is ended the dialer automatically goes to the
call log activity. However, when the call is over I really want it to
just return to my activity. I've tried creating a listener that
listens for the CALL_IDLE state and then invokes:
finishActivity(DIAL);
However, that has no effect. The call log still comes up and sits
there until the back button is pushed. I really need a way to either
return immediately from the dialer to my activity or else a way to
stop the call log activity so I can get back to my activity.
Thanks.

[android-developers] Hang up phone call
I've spend the last couple days looking for a way to hang up a phone cal via the API. I'm guessing for some "security" reason that Google does not allow this. Not being one to give up yet...is there any undocumented way to hang up a phone call? Of course the real solution would be for Google to add a HANG_UP_CALL permission and expose the hangup() method to the public API, but it doesn't appear that will happen. :( Thanks, -Isaac -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Place a call and bypass call log on return
I'm creating an application where I need to dial phone numbers. I am
starting the dialer like this:
Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:123"));
startActivity(dial);
The dialer comes up and the phone dials the number. Now, here's my
problem: At the end of the call I want to immediately return to my
Activity in my application. However, what does happen is that at the
end of the call the call log is opened. Only after pushing the back
button do I get back to my activity. Is there any way to make the
dialer immediately return to my activity and bypass the call log? I
don't want the users to have to push back to return to the
application.
I was thinking that maybe I could subscribe to the phone state events
and as soon as the phone goes into the idle state close the dialer
activity and bring my activity to the foreground. However, I can't
seem to find any useful information on doing that.
As an alternative, is it possible to dial a number without leaving my
activity? That would also work for me.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

[android-developers] Re: Android Loading listview items from service results in hang
No, what you are supposed to do, is not return from onCreate until you are ready to show your GUI. I am not ready without these items. If it took, say, 2 or 3 seconds to load these items, maybe, but it takes a fraction of a second - the screen flashes 'LOADING' and then shows the items. It looks quite ugly. And then there is the losing of scroll position and focus too. On May 23, 8:23 pm, Marco Nelissen wrote: > "hanging the UI thread" is the hack.

[android-developers] Re: Android Loading listview items from service results in hang
Even if I changed that, I would lose the saved list scroll position and selected item. I do not want to make some hack around running it in the UI thread - I want to hang the UI thread.

If I do this, then I lose the benefits of running it in the UI thread.
I want to hang my application until it gets these items, because if
not, my view with id="android:empty" shows up for a second, and that
looks ugly.

The data is inside a List inside my service, already pre-made. It
should take basically no time at all.
How would I fix the deadlock?

[android-developers] Android Loading listview items from service results in hang
Hello,
In my Android application, I have a ListActivity. This ListActivity
uses a SimpleAdapter that I fill with items from my service. So, in my
code, I do:
MySuperCoolService.Binder serviceBinder = null;
private ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection()
{
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder service) {
Log.d(TAG, "Service connection: connected!");
serviceBinder = (MySuperCoolService.Binder)service;
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
Log.d(TAG, "Service connection: disconnected");
serviceBinder = null;
}
};
bindService(new Intent(this, MySuperCoolService.class),
serviceConnection, BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
while(serviceBinder==null) {
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
// now retrieve from service using binder and set list adapter
This whole operation takes hardly any time (less than a second), so I
want it to run in the UI thread. See my onCreate:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
fillDataUsingCodeAbove();
}
The reason I want this to run in the UI thread is that if you have a
list item selected, or you have scrolled to a certain position in the
ListView, and you rotate the device or take out the keyboard or
something (to trigger a configuration change) when my activity is
restarted, Android will try to restore the state right after onCreate.
But, if I run it in a separate thread, it will not. Also there is a
cool fadein animation too :)
The problem I am having with running it in the UI thread is that when
I try to bind to the service, that service bind request gets put onto
the message queue. But then when I go into my loop, I stop the message
queue from looping. So my program hangs, because it's waiting for the
service to get bound, and the service won't get bound until the loop
ends (I think you call this a deadlock). I have thought of putting
Looper.loop() inside my loop, but that just hangs it at Looper.loop()
(I don't know why.)
Sorry for such a long question,
Isaac Waller

Greetings. You might find the OpenIntents keystore project of interest as well: http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/CryptoIntents It would be great to build something compatible, since the goal of the openintents project is interoperability :) peace, isaac --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Install .odex + .apk
Hello, I have a .odex and a .apk file. I understand that the .odex is just the classes.dex file extracted, so if there is some way I can put it back in so I can install it on the emulator? I am getting errors about classes.dex without that. Thanks, Isaac --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: support for encryption
Folks might also take a look at the crypto intents and keystore intents that we're building in collaboration between the Android Password Safe project & the OpenIntents project. Our system allows a single password, and periodic single sign-on so that all applications can encrypt, decrypt, and store keys using the same master password that the user enters once, which is somewhat of an advantage over directly using the bouncycastle implementation, depending on the need of your application: http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/CryptoIntents peace, isaac --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
