Re: [android-developers] Re: writing an Authenticator to use with AccountManager
Back to this question again. As I said in my original message, I'm working from the SampleSyncAdapter example program. Currently, it mostly works, but I don't understand the flow of control, OR how to do certain operations. Currently, if I start my app on a clean emulator, it prompts me for the userid/password and connects to my server. That works. Now, I want to be able to Logoff, so that the next time the app tries to access the server, the user will be prompted for Userid/Password again. That doesn't work. It seems to go into an infinite loop in my code calling AccountManager.getAuthToken(), which invokes my run( AccountManagerFuture) method, but since the token is null (actually, so it account name and type), it gets the Account using getAccountsByType(), and calls AccountManager.getAuthToken() again So, I'm definitely doing something wrong, and it would be helpful if I could find a good description of how the Account system actually works.

The documentation is not at all clear on this, but I've been down this road in the past.

[android-developers] Making a file world writeable
I have an app that is writing a file that I would like other apps to be able to access. Looking at it in DDMS, I see that it's permissions only let the one user see it. The docs at http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html#setWritable%28boolean,%20boolean%29 show that the File object should have a setWriteable() method. That method doesn't seem to exist. At least Eclipse won't let me use it without flagging it as a syntax error, and it doesn't appear in the popup list of methods on a File object. So, is there some other way to make the file world writeable?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Sharing data between apps
And that is a very nice philosophical discussion of data in general. Still doesn't help any with my original question, and the only implication I can take from it is that you are assuming I'm a total neophyte programmer who has no idea what his data is going to be used for, or what it is. How nice. Now, if you actually assume that I'm not an idiot, and actually know what my own data is, that it is 10 bytes, and I'm asking for ways to transfer it - then your discussion of data meanings makes even less sense. I wasn't asking about how to decode my data, how to use it, how to make it work with another system. I was asking for ways of sharing a block of generic data between apps. ALL data is generic. Higher meanings can be applied at either end of it's travels, which may also have implications about requirements for it's travel. It's still data.

I was using illustrative examples, chosen mostly for 10-byte -- but these issues show up all the time in all kinds of programming, from enterprise to consumer utilities, to games. And you didn't say that 10 bytes is just 10 bytes for Android, but not for safety systems like cars, airplanes, and medical. But that fits nicely with my last point about valuable data vs worthless data. The first pair illustrates that it matters both how quickly and how reliably data is delivered. To take an example from an entirely different domain -- this is why there is UDP vs TCP. Or consider the implications for delays or unreliable delivery if you're downloading a program, vs watching a video. The second pair illustrates that the actual byte values to be delivered may need to be mapped as part of the delivery. Earth surface coordinates, sure, those transfer fine. But often this is not the case; often to be useful on the other end, you will have to externalize those bytes in some manner. To offer another example -- raw sensor data may need to be calibrated, referenced, or normalized to be useful when transferred from one device to another. This may only be possible on the source device. Two different ways that the byte MEANING matters -- both DIRECTLY related to how data is delivered.

In the latter case, there's a frame of reference that even a space alien can understand without a device. In the former, you need not only the database, but the particular process of selection, which may in turn involve information known only within the same process. Those 10 bytes may be meaningless by themselves, taken out of the context in which they have meaning. 10 bytes is 10 bytes -- so long as you don't care about what those bytes mean or why they exist.

[android-developers] Making my app a library, resource problems
Okay, in order to make it easier (I hope) to have both a Licensed full version, and a Demo version of my app, I've converted my App project in Eclipse into an Android Library project. I created a new Library project, the copied all the source and resources over, set the manifest values, etc... I then created a new App project to be the licensed version. It uses the library project. What I'm seeing is that the App project builds a R.java for both the App and the Library. BUT it builds the one for the library incorrectly. It's leaving out several resources from my portrait layout. When the Library project is build, it's R.java has all the resources. Note: It's also interesting that the App project builds an R.java for the App, and an R.java for the Library project - and they are IDENTICAL. This also indicates that you have to be really careful about not having conflicting resource names between and App and a Library it uses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

And I figured it out! Eclipse had created a default main.xml in my App layout directory, and was using that for generated resource ID's instead of the main.xml in my Library project. You really do have to be careful about conflicting resource names between A library and your app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Problem showing a simple Dialog
I'm trying to learn how to use a Dialog, but I seem to be missing something.
(probably obvious to those who've used them before...)
Whenever I click on my Menu Item that opens the dialog, I get this:
01-01 08:00:16.214: ERROR/ACRA(259): fatal error : Unable to add window --
token null is not for an application

android.app.Dialog.show(Dialog.java:239)
My activity has an onCreateDialog() method, which does get called and
returns successfully.
protected Dialog onCreateDialog( int id) {
// We only have one dialog, so we can ignore id...
Dialog dialog = new AboutBox(getApplicationContext());
dialog.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener()
{
public void onDismiss( DialogInterface dialog) {
removeDialog(1);
}
});
return dialog;
}
My custom dialog class is pretty trivial...
public class AboutBox extends Dialog {
public AboutBox( Context context) {
super(context);
}
protected void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.about);
setTitle( Testing);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.AboutClose);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick( View v) {
dismiss();
}
});
}
}
As is it's layout:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

Re: [android-developers] Problem showing a simple Dialog
That just causes the call to super(context) in my dialog constructor to throw a NullPointerException. I was working from the examples at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog and they also use the getApplicationContext(). You need some context to pass to the Dialog() constructor.

Re: [android-developers] Problem showing a simple Dialog
Fixed it! Thanks! I keep forgetting that the Activity is a Context. (Seems like the example Dialog usage might want to show this as well, especially since using getApplicationContext() fails.)

Re: [android-developers] Re: the new eclipse UI design - absolute frustration and waste of time
I've used the NetBeans and MyEclipse GUI editors extensively. They are very nice. The Android thing in Eclipse is pretty much a waste of time. Bizarre things happen when you try to drag controls or layouts in. Items end up in totally unexpected places, with attributes that you can't seem to control. The huge properties menu isn't very helpful either. After just a few minutes of attempting to use the GUI editor, I gave up and just edited the XML directly. Much easier, quicker, and with better control of what you get. I don't even bother previewing my layouts with the GUI editor, as it frequently leaves out controls entirely.

If you use XML, you will actually understand what's going on instead of relying on a GUI editor to do the work for you.

[android-developers] Licensing Verification Library and Demo versions
Is there a relatively easy/good way to have an app that uses LVL, also have a Demo version? It appears that I have to change the Package Name to do this - which changes the Resource file name - so nothing compiles unless I go change the import statement in all my files. Note that I am working from within Eclipse. Should I make my entire app an Android Library? and just have 2 nearly empty skeleton projects to build it?

Re: [android-developers] How can I cause a RelativeLayout to re-layout it's children?

[android-developers] Possible bug when trying to re-use an animation.
I just ran into a problem that I'm pretty sure is a bug in the Animation class. I have a simple Animation that doesn't repeat. I use view.setAnimation() to run it. When it's done, I use view.clearAnimation(); Sometime later, I want to run it again. So I use view.setAnimation() again. The view flickers and nothing happens. So I did some poking around to see what was happening. (One useful diagnostic was that I created an AnimationWrapper that just logs when every Animation method is called.) View calls Animation.reset(), then starts using the Animation. The problem is that Animation.reset() does NOT reset the animation start time. So when the animation starts, the time is long past the animation expiration, so it stops immediately. Workaround: call Animation.setStartTime( -1) before you call view.setAnimation(). Fix: Animation.reset() should set mStartTime = -1; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I fixed the id problem that was pointed out by the previous reply. It made no difference.

Click 'resume execution' in Eclipse, and again if necessary. You only get logcat output (and the close dialog on the device) once the exception has propagated to the top-level exception handler. I tried clicking on resume. Twice. The app exited, the debugger disconnected from the Emulator, and still no logcat output. 2 - Logcat window in Eclipse is very nice (filtering, color highlighting), but just too small. Not on my screen. I re-arranged the tabs in Eclipse, and have a 24 1920x1200 monitor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
