[android-developers] Re: Auto hiddable side button bar/tool bar
Hi Kostya, I started to play with sliding drawer and it seems it can do the trick. My issue for now is that I cannot set the correct size... I would like the drawer to extend just enough for its content, but it seems pretty random, I tried a number of combination for width and height specifications, but it seems that I can only do "all of the screen height" or "most of the screen height" (do not ask why and when it does "most" instead of "all", it seems to escape any logic). The issue is that I cannot make it extend just the height / width of the buttons. Is it the normal behaviour?

[android-developers] Auto hiddable side button bar/tool bar
Hi there, room on screen being fairly "expensive" on small devices, I would like to implement a button/tool bar that would automatically show and hide from the side of the screen. When the user would tap anywhere on the screen, the bar would unfold and would fold back if there is no user input for a few seconds. The optionsmenu does not work well for me as I need 7 to 9 items visible at the first glance. This button bar would contain buttons, but "menu-like-buttons" as well (with an itent attached). I have started to look into SliddingDrawer but I am not sure I can have it completely invisible when folded. If you have seen something that I can use as a base, many thanks for the hint.

[android-developers] Re: How to display search button in actionbar on tablet (app minSdk = 8)
I do fully agree with the process, but apparently, with these requirements (supporting x to honeycomb), we are cornered with using build targets *above* the minSdk level which is really begging for troubles. Google dropped the ball at the last hurdle. If the XML code for tablets (showAsAction, for example) would have compiled with lower SDKs, we could have kept "low" build targets and be sure that the application will run and compile from the low end of the supported range. This is still a liability at runtime, but we can exclude it from loading with resource qualifiers. This way, and with the compatibility package, developpers would have developed 3.0 compatible application much easier and much safer as well. This is really disapointing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to display search button in actionbar on tablet (app minSdk = 8)
This is proving much harder than I thought... Basically, in order to show a search item in the action bar (or any item) I need to set "showAsAction" in my menu. In order to do that, I need to build with SDK >= 11. If I build with SDK >=11, I am at risk of including some code that will fail badly on SDK 8 to 10 devices... I have tried the API Analysis plugin from the adt addons (http:// code.google.com/p/adt-addons/), but for some reason, it does not seem to work. Other people talk about a dupplicatte build ant task that would build against minAPI, but that is late in the process (in my case after comitting code to version control). It feels like the way Google are managing upward compatibility is fairly lightweight. I wonder how other people are doing. I am definitely not the only one trying to build an application that would run from FROYO to HONEYCOMB and that would have a search button! Please help ;).

[android-developers] Re: How to display search button in actionbar on tablet (app minSdk = 8)
Hi Mark, I cannot get "android:showAsAction" to be recognised/accepted in my project (minSDK = 8, targetSDK = 11). Eclipse tells me : "error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'showAsAction' in package 'android'". Is that supposed to work with projects below 11? That would mean that application with minSDK below 11 cannot do search on tablets? Cannot be right?

[android-developers] How to display search button in actionbar on tablet (app minSdk = 8)
Hi guys, I just (late and fairly stupidly) realised that one of the big differences of Honeycomb is the lack of "always there standard buttons" (home, back, search, menu). Home seems to be there all the time, as well as back (at least it is for my app). I found out how to get my menu back (target a SDK below 11), but I have been Googling for last 3 hours in order to discover how to get a search button in the action bar and I failed... So to make sure things are in perspective: - my app min SDK is 8; - I'd like to have the same code accross the board - I am using search to trigger a custom action in a custom activity (still like a search, but not really a search). - furthermore I am using long press on serach as well. How can I have that on tablets whithout ruining the "other users" experience or write a specific SDK 11+ version.

[android-developers] Re: Serializable subclass of non-serializable class
Daniel, sorry to be a pain in the bum, but there are still 2 things I
cannot figure out.
First I am not sure what you mean by DTO, but from what I understand
it is basicaly a place holder for the data in my non-serilizable
class.
I understand how to transfer dta (the one I care about) between
LocationDTO and Location.
Then, how am I stopping the default process to try to serialize the
Location parent object. At thye moment I am doing nothing, this is all
happening by default.
If you would have a link on some doc or an example that would greato-
smashing-fantastic ;).

[android-developers] Serializable subclass of non-serializable class
Hi there,
I am hitting a brickwall with serialization of a subclass of Location
(probably more a Java question actuall, but let's try anyway).
Location is not serializable.
I have a first subclass called FALocation that does not have any
instance variables. I have declared it serializable.
Then I have a second class called Waypoint that looks like this:
public class Waypoint extends FALocation implements Serializable {
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/* Class variables
***/
private static int CLASS_VERSION=1; //Used to version parcels
/* Instance variables
/
private transient String type=DataHelper.PT_TYPE_US;
private transient String country;
private transient String name=null;
private transient String description=null;
private transient int elevation = 0;
private transient int population = 0; // Afterthought, added
to match the DB structure
/* Constructors
**/
public Waypoint() {
super();
}
public Waypoint(double lat, double lon, String name, String
description) {
super(lat, lon);
this.setName(name);
this.setDescription(description);
}
public Waypoint(Location l) {
super(l);
}
public Waypoint(String provider) {
super(provider);
}
/* Implementing serializable */
private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
throws IOException {
Log.v("DroidFA", "Serialising \"%s\" (v%d).",
Waypoint.class.getSimpleName(), CLASS_VERSION);
out.writeInt(CLASS_VERSION);
out.writeObject(type);
out.writeObject(country);
out.writeObject(name);
out.writeObject(description);
out.writeInt(elevation);
out.writeInt(population);
}
private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) throws
IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
int serialClassVersion = in.readInt();
Log.v("DroidFA", "Deserialising \"%s\" (v%d).",
Waypoint.class.getSimpleName(),serialClassVersion);
type = (String) in.readObject();
country = (String) in.readObject();
name = (String) in.readObject();
description = (String) in.readObject();
elevation = in.readInt();
population = in.readInt();
}
}
Serialization works fine.
Deseriamization produces the followwing exception (the leg object
contains a waypoint).:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just for the record, Delphi or the Apple dev framewiork do not generate edit dialog, they rather do the opposite.

[android-developers] ES File Explorer 1.6.0.6 does not return path in data.getPath() anymore...
Hi guys,
I used to rely on ES File Explorer in my app to select files and open
them but it seems the last version of ES File Explorer has changed and
it does not reteurn the path in the calling activity anymore.
Any one noticed that ?
Any suggestion for an alternative ?
I do not need complex file manipulation, just choosing, but it is a
real pain that Android does not come with some emebeded component.
Here is my code :
public void doImport (View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.setType("text/*");
startActivityForResult(intent, ACT_TARGET_SEL_FILE_FOR_IMPORT);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
// One activity that did start with "forResult" did finish
switch(requestCode){
case ACT_TARGET_SEL_FILE_FOR_IMPORT:
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK){
String filePath = data.getData().getPath();
// Code removed
break;
default:
Log.v(getString(R.string.debug_tag),String.format("%s:
no valid
request code.",this.getClass().getSimpleName()));
}
}
filepath used to conatin the path, now it looks like "/8067"
In the debugger, the data it self contains this :
content://com.estrongs.files/8067
A lot of developper/apps seem to rely on this to select a file, that
is going to be pretty embarassing...
Thanks for suggesting alternative options,
JM

[android-developers] Permission denial on ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION on Samsung Galaxy (other GPS apps work)
Hi there,
just released my first app to beta testers and real life (the one with
real users) caught me...
One of them has a Samsung Galaxy phone and he cannot launched the
application (had something along the lines of "application not
installed").
He sent me his logs and the interesting line seems to ba that one :
09-30 13:16:33.027 W/ActivityManager( 125): Permission Denial:
starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x1000
cmp=com.droidfa/.ControlPanel } from ProcessRecord{40967030
30906:com.android.packageinstaller/10054} (pid=30906, uid=10054)
requires android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
The issue is that other GPS applications work fine on his phone (GPS
Test).
He are the permissiopns from my manifest.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
JM

[android-developers] Re: Managing beta testers / beta program
I was actually wondering about this kind of things as well. >From my quick search, ACRA would send the developper information on an application crash but is there an equivalent tool to capture the logs for example and send them from withiong the application. This can prove useful when the application does not crash but still misbehaves.

[android-developers] Managing beta testers / beta program
Hi there, I am at the point where I question releasing my application out in the wild, but before that I would like to go through a beta phase with beta testers recruited thru some forum (not my friends from childhood I mean). I am stunned that it seems Google did not plan for this at all... I am keen to have beta testers, but not so much that an unlimited/ unrestricted app leaks all over the place. This question has been asked already and I was wondering is there were any new news on the topic... Basically, if I issue them an application with a limited lifespan siging key, I won't be able to use this key on the market (because of the 2033 thingy). If I use adifferent key on the market, my beta testers will have to uninstall the application before being able to install the final version and they will lose their data. If I issue a debug signed application, it can go everywhere unless I do something (possibly complicated) in my app to restrict it to the "beta crowd"... I am not even thinking about giving the final app for free because it seems it is another can of worms. Any idea welcome, thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Defining custom drawables in XML
Erm... I concede, this would create some security challenges, but it is a pity there is such a limitation. Being able to use custom drawables in the XML would certainly simplify the life of a lot of developpers. Thanks for your reply anyway.

[android-developers] Defining custom drawables in XML
Hi there, I am trying to implement my own custom drawable to draw triangles (this is an example) by extending ShapeDrawable. Writing the component was OK. Using the component in the code is OK. I cam to a brick wall when trying to use the drawable only in XML. Example of myDrawable.xml: I have been crawling the web all day about this and it seems that this cannot be done. It is actually not possible ? (The code seem to tell it is not) If it cannot be done this is disapointing as it almost defeat the purpose of drawable outside what is provided by Google. Furthermore, it is does not seem so massively complicated. Looking at Drawable.createFromXmlInner(Resources r, XmlPullParser parser, AttributeSet attrs), it feels fairly easy to use introspection and check that "name" is or not a class from the project that extends Drawable. The same idea could be extended to ShapeDrawable when the name of the shape in unknown. Thanks for your help anyway.

[android-developers] Re: How to use AudioRecord and AudioTrack
Hi there, Looks like sipdroid (www.sipdroid.org) is using AudioTrack and AudioRecord for their SIP client. Go to the "Browse source" page and look at trunk > src > org > sipdroid > media > RtpStreamReceiver.java and RtpStreamSender.java, and search respectively for "track" and "record".

[android-developers] Re: android 1.5: How do we use the AudioTrack class?
Blindfold, I can get onMarkerReached() called for a STATIC AudioTrack instance. A few things you might want to try: - the marker position must be set in frames, not bytes. So make sure you're not giving a marker position that's not beyond your content. For instance if your content is stereo/8bit, you must divide the size by two, by four for stereo/16bit, to go from data size to frame count. - try setting a really low value for your marker position, like 10, to see if it gets called. - if all that still doesn't work, I'd start checking in which thread the callback is supposed to be called. By default it's in the same thread as the one in which you created your AudioTrack instance. If you want it to be called from a different thread, use setPlaybackPositionUpdateListener(listener, handler) where you pass the handler of the thread you want to use. Hope this helps.
