Re: [android-developers] Animate to new position - impossible?
Got it - but ... Its not obvious what the: something to adjust your layout to cause your View to stick in the new spot. is. I am already using the AnimationListener to trigger post animation code - but I am stuck on how to make this actually happen.

[android-developers] Animate to new position - impossible?
I am trying to roll my own sliding drawer that can be opened 5%, 25% and 100%. When I animate my view to the new position, the animation moves, but when the animation is finished the view jumps back to its original location. Is it possible to animate a view to a new position or am I attempting to do something it is not meant to do? j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Problem Loading Images via Adapter on Zero Index
Hi All,
I am attempting to load a series of images into a 3x3 gridview. When the
user refreshes the screen I want images to load into each imageview
randomly. All of the images load properly - except index zero (topmost
leftmost). In testing, this will work the first time I load if zero happens
to be the first index randomly picked - but thereafter - nothing. I suspect
the trouble is in how I am dealing with getView within the BaseAdapter.
Here is what I have:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent)
{
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)convertView;
if (convertView == null) {
imageView = new ImageView(context);
imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(85,
85));
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);
imageView.setPadding(1, 1, 1, 1);
imageView.setOnClickListener(ShowArtistSummary);
imageView.setAnimation(anim_fade_in);
} else {
imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
}
imageViews[position] = imageView;
return imageView;
}
The imageViews array is used later to load the bitmaps randmly.
Help appreciated.

One last thing ... just in case someone stumbles upon this and wants to use it as an example because of the listview ... You will need to remove the layout_above attribute in the listview element and use this instead: android:layout_alignParentTop=true Otherwise, if you have a short list it will look funny (no harm in trying it if you want to see what happens).

Re: [android-developers] Mystery Null Pointer Error - Seeking Opinions
OK - for the record ... I think I have fixed this based upon what was going on in line 377 (testing here that service is alive and passing false back if not). Thing is ... I am still perplexed as to why onPrepareOptionsMenu is getting called in the first place. All that is occurring here is that the Activity is coming back into the foreground. The menu button does not appear to have been called. Jason On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Jason Van Anden jason.van.an...@gmail.comwrote: Mark, Doh? How did I miss this?

[android-developers] Mystery Null Pointer Error - Seeking Opinions
*, An error that appeared in my Flurry logs but seemed impossible to reproduce otherwise just occured! That's the good news. The bad news is that the LogCat info is not telling me enough. I would appreciate a second set of eyes taking a look and offering wisdom. The lead up is that I was playing with my app, and put it away for a while. I did a lot of other things with my phone since, like making phone calls, etc ... I hooked up my phone to the computer to make another attempt to find the mystery bug, and decided to see if anything weird appeared in the logs from earlier. I then brought my app to the foreground using the Home/Hold technique and whamo! the bug appeared before my eyes in LogCat. I got a Force Close message. When the app died, it did not get resurrected. What is particularly odd is the onPrepareOptionsMenu being called (at all). So here is what LogCat coughed up: This is not my app but may provide a clue ... --- 10-31 14:12:02.047: INFO/WindowManager(74): onOrientationChanged, rotation changed to 0 10-31 14:12:02.117: WARN/InputManagerService(74): Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.iinputmethodclient$stub$pr...@43422388 7369 is my app: - 10-31 14:12:02.127: DEBUG/dalvikvm(7369): Trying to load lib /system/lib/libsoundpool.so 0x0 10-31 14:12:02.677: DEBUG/dalvikvm(7369): Added shared lib /system/lib/libsoundpool.so 0x0 10-31 14:12:03.277: DEBUG/FlurryAgent(7369): Starting new session 10-31 14:12:03.657: DEBUG/AndroidRuntime(7369): Shutting down VM 10-31 14:12:03.657: WARN/dalvikvm(7369): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001da28) 10-31 14:12:03.657: DEBUG/FlurryAgent(7369): Ending session 10-31 14:12:03.667: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): java.lang.NullPointerException 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.bubblebeats.free.Peeps.onPrepareOptionsMenu(Peeps.java:377) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.app.Activity.onPreparePanel(Activity.java:2065) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.preparePanel(PhoneWindow.java:429) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.openPanel(PhoneWindow.java:517) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.openPanelsAfterRestore(PhoneWindow.java:1590) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.access$1500(PhoneWindow.java:86) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView.onAttachedToWindow(PhoneWindow.java:2043) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.view.View.dispatchAttachedToWindow(View.java:5567) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchAttachedToWindow(ViewGroup.java:1032) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.view.ViewRoot.performTraversals(ViewRoot.java:676) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1613) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4203) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:791) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:549) 10-31 14:12:04.077: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7369): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 10-31 14:12:04.517: DEBUG/dalvikvm(7369): GC freed 1736 objects / 111624 bytes in 248ms Thanks for the feedback in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Anyone else notice more frequent GC in 1.6?
Before 1.6 I forced GC at times when it would not impact the user experience. I did this because I noticed bigger dumps happening infrequently, sometimes at times that were not so cool, like during a redraw. It was sort of a preemptive dump. (ie: my app eases to a stop when the background is scolled/flinged - so I would force the dump after the easing stopped). Since 1.6 - Logcat reports more frequent GC - but with much smaller amounts of memory. This sort of threw off my scheduling trick - but for whatever reason the overall experience seems better, so it goes. I am guessing from this thread that there is more going on here so my assumptions may be wrong. At any rate - I am happy things are running better. Thanks for the improvement!

[android-developers] Re: How did you localize your app?
Thanks... I meant ... did the number of downloads increase noticeably after doing a translation? Basically, trying to do a cost/benefit on localization. Analytics tells me that 40% of my users are from Europe, mostly from UK, but also from Germany and Italy. So the question becomes ... which language should I translate to? If my app was localized in Spanish would I get more downloads from Spain and Central America? If German would the German numbers look more like the UK numbers? Mostly asking this to see if anyone else can shed some light.

Today, when I try to run my app from Eclipse, I get Error generating final archive: Debug certificate expired on 9/21/2009 6:11pm. I ran Software Update on my Mac a few days ago (probably around 9/21/2009 at 6:11pm). I mention this because its the only thing that has changed with my machine since I last worked on my app. I tried a few of the suggestions on the board - deleted debug.keystore and tried opening Eclipse using sudo. Neither did the trick. Anyone else? Suggestions super welcome.

[android-developers] Re: Error generating final archive ... post Apple Software Update
Nevermind. I thought I had deleted debug.keystore. I had not. I did delete the debug.keystore and it worked. On the mac, this can be found at ~/.android/debug.keystore. Also ... for the record ... I have no idea why this worked or if this had anything to do with Software Update. I was simply trying things I found mentioned here in the forum. j On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Jason Van Anden jason.van.an...@gmail.com wrote: Today, when I try to run my app from Eclipse, I get Error generating final archive: Debug certificate expired on 9/21/2009 6:11pm.

More: http://www.bubblebeats.com Here is a (unofficial - geeked out) press release ... BubbleBeats is a visual way to manage your music that is ideally suited for mobile devices. Rather than using lists of song titles to represent playlists, BubbleBeats uses colorful ... bubbles. This was originally devised as a way to program complex improvisational behavior for a pair of emotive interactive robots named Neil and Iona (http://www.smileproject.com). Users associate songs to colorful bubbles which when interconnected will subsequently play in a reasonable yet unpredictable way.

[android-developers] SurfaceView speed optimization suggestions (or just kick it up to openGL)?
I am trying to optimize my graphics app. I have read the best practices and have employed these and they have helped but, I am still getting hiccups. I get the hiccups when more of the screen is drawn upon. I am looking for either strategies on how to speed things up or a convincing that employing openGL is the best solution. My app draws graphics directly on a SurfaceView. My workspace is larger than the screen. I am using translate. My draw loop determines time passed between draws and adjusts update calls accordingly. More updates are required in subsequent passes when more of the screen area is drawn upon (in other words, a big circle the diameter of the screen width will take longer than a small circle 1/10 of the screen width). It seems to me that the graphics processor is the bottleneck (no?). I have an easing routine when the app scrolls (triggered via onFling ... kind of like the way lists work but in 2D). This speed issue is most visually apparent here. If openGL is the solution, I can put this aside for now and upgrade later when I have time to ramp up on openGL. If there are other solutions, I would like to hear them. One thought I have is to draw to a bitmap before engaging my scrolling/easing and move the bitmap instead of adjusting the graphics. Feedback super appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: SurfaceView speed optimization suggestions (or just kick it up to openGL)?
It is not b/c of the GC. Garbage does accumulate ... but I am triggering the GC to clear after the easing finishes.

I get the hiccups when more of the screen is drawn upon. I am looking for either strategies on how to speed things up or a convincing that employing openGL is the best solution. My app draws graphics directly on a SurfaceView. My workspace is larger than the screen. I am using translate. My draw loop determines time passed between draws and adjusts update calls accordingly. More updates are required in subsequent passes when more of the screen area is drawn upon (in other words, a big circle the diameter of the screen width will take longer than a small circle 1/10 of the screen width). It seems to me that the graphics processor is the bottleneck (no?). I have an easing routine when the app scrolls (triggered via onFling ... kind of like the way lists work but in 2D). This speed issue is most visually apparent here. If openGL is the solution, I can put this aside for now and upgrade later when I have time to ramp up on openGL. If there are other solutions, I would like to hear them. One thought I have is to draw to a bitmap before engaging my scrolling/easing and move the bitmap instead of adjusting the graphics.

[android-developers] Re: Attempting to pass data via NotificationManager - Seeking Help/Advice
Giving this a little more thought ... of course this must be possible
- when an email appears in the NotificationManager it knows to open
and show the email that is announced. So, can someone please give me
a clue as to how this flows?
Here is my code from the Service:
public void show_notification(String title){
String svcname = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
NotificationManager notificationManager;
notificationManager =
(NotificationManager)getSystemService(svcname);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
String expandedText = title;
String expandedTitle = pp;
//Intent startActivityIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Intent startActivityIntent = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class);
startActivityIntent.putExtra(news, goto pp 1);
PendingIntent launchIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
0,
startActivityIntent, 0);
ppNotification.setLatestEventInfo(context, expandedTitle,
expandedText, launchIntent);
ppNotification.tickerText = title;
notificationManager.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, ppNotification);
}
Like I said before, the Activity gets called - fine - thing is that I
want to have to get focus and then change based upon the info in
extra. I cannot figure out where to receive the intent data in this
situation.
Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Buffering Background Image - Graphics Advice Sought
Thanks, I will try this.
My app has a lot of images drawn on a canvas, any of which can be moved and
sized at any time by the user. They are in layers, and transparent, so that
they can all be seen and manipulated. The graphics are circles at the
moment.
I tried running the app with a buffered bitmap and drawing directly each
time. FYI: redrawing everything was 2x faster than using the bitmap.

If you want to work with the 2d draw api (e.g. not the GL one), a
typical way to organize your code is to have a view that knows how to
draw your static background and all the pieces (aka sprites) that
you need on top. However before drawing anything get the clip bounds
and check your sprites against the current clipping region. Then in
your game thread, simply post invalidate rectangles to your view to
redraw only the parts of the screen that changed.
E.g:
in your custom view:
public void draw(Canvas canvas, ...) {
Rect clipRect = ...; // should be a member, not reallocated at each draw
boolean useClipRect = canvas.getClipBounds(clipRect);
// draw background
...
// draw a sprite only if needed
Rect r = my_sprite.getRect();
if (!useClipRect || Rect.intersects(clipRect, r)) { draw sprite }
}
and then use View.invalidate (int l, int t, int r, int b) or
View.postInvalidate (int l, int t, int r, int b) to refresh your view.
Note if you have the Dev Tools in the emulator, in the development
section there's a flag to show screen invalidates, it marks all screen
refreshes as purple.

being moved, it seems to me that you should not need to redraw all of
the pieces that are not being moved.
Using the LunarLander example, is there a way to store the background

occasionally refreshed. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for answering. I took some of the griping personally about why don't people take the minute to find ... and/or choose the right forum.
