[android-developers] Android Picasa Image Uploader
Hi, I am looking samples to upload a selected picture from my device
to Picasa Album. Is there any way?
I tried this snippet:
Intent temp = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
temp.setType(image/png);
temp.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
temp.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri);
temp.setComponent(new ComponentName(
com.google.android.apps.uploader,
com.google.android.apps.uploader.clients.picasa.PicasaSettingsActivity));
try {
startActivity(temp);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex)
{
Log.d(TAG, Errore upload Picasa);
}
which works, but in this way I can't insert a comment (only a legendy
that will be displayed above the pic), while to insert a comment I
have to do it manually from browser (after upload).
I'd like to know if there's a way to get the image URL after uploading
it.

[android-developers] Re: Proguard problem after 2.3 update
Hi Roshan,
I use linux, and the adding to tools/lib did not help :(
maybe the add-proguard-release.xml should be updated in some way (due
to interface change?!?) ?

[android-developers] NFC : detect TAG once inside the application
OK here is my problem. I created an application where I need to detect TAGs. So I created an activity and I registered an intent receiver to it : activity android:name=LoadTagActivity android:theme=@android:style/ Theme.Dialog intent-filter action android:name=android.nfc.action.TAG_DISCOVERED/ category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT/ /intent-filter /activity It works perfectly. Now the thing is. Once I detect the tag it goes in my application. But once I'm in the application I can't detect tags anymore. The intent TAG_DISCOVERED seems to be correctly broadcasted but my activity doesnt seem to pick it up. ( And yes the Activity has previously been destroyed correctly ). Anyone can help me ? or is just normal behaviour ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Overlay ConcurrentModificationException (continued)
Zsolt,
the methods are defined as follows:
- receiveMessage() - Service Class
- showTrafficMessages() - Activity Class
- updateOverlay - ItemizedOverlay Class
The receiveMessage() method is called in the run method of the
receiving thread object. I see now that other methods are then
executed in the receiving thread (due to callback) as well.
I will check out the Handler and get back to you later. Thanks a lot
for your advice!

Hi!
It's not clear where your code is located and called. If it's in the
thread which receives the messages, than you're modifying UI elements
from another thread which is really bad.
If your code is in the activity object, and you call it directly from
the network thread, than you also execute code in a thread which is
not the UI thread (very bad again), and therefore if the Overlay is
currently drawn and at that moment you receive a new message you will
try to modify a List while it is accessed by another thread (the UI).
There is already a facility in the android api which can help you put
your data into the UI thread in a safe way.
See:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html
Heres a simple example using Handler.post()
In you activity where your UI components are. Create a Handler object,
(eg: mHandler = new Handler())
Pass this mHandler object to your network thread. When your network
thread receives a message use this handler to send a Runnable object
to be executed in the UI thread. Eg:
receiveMessage(String msg) {
// send a runnable to execution in the thread which created the
handler
mHandler.post(new Runnable() { // implement the Runnable interface
public void run() {
activity.updateUI(); // - what to call in the
handler thread.
}
});
}
If your thread is implemented as an inner class of your activity, you
can call the necessary method directly in the Runnable.run method.
I hope this helps.

if ( validateMessage(binaryMsg) ) {
final TrafficMessage message =
createMessage(binaryMsg);
Log.i( CoCarMapView.TAG, traffic
messages vector size: + new

// update the UI - show the messages
/* the traffic container and the UI
update should be
* executed from the UI and not from
the receiving
* thread, therefore a handler is used
to return
* these operations to the UI thread
*/
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
addTrafficMessage(message, CoCarMapView.trafficMessages);
CoCarMapView.showTrafficMessages();

});
}
}
} // end of method
I assumed I had to put addTrafficMessage inside the handler thread, as
the collection is modified here. The exception is gone!

[android-developers] Re: keeping screen on while activity active
OK now I'm only turning the flag on in the onCreate() and onResume()
methods. It works fine on the HTC Magic phone, but in the emulator,
after it starts and I don't do anything on the home screen it doesn't
go off at all. When I start my app it doesn't go off like required,
but when I return back to the home screen it doesn't go off neither.
I don't know if this issue is severe enough to be considered an
emulator bug?

You don't even need to clear it. This flag is associated with the window,
and it will only keep the screen on while your window is displayed. I
really can't explain the behavior you say you are seeing, if your window is
not displayed this flag simply will not keep the screen on.

[android-developers] Re: Service won't stop when exiting application
Ooops that was a typo when I posted the message. ccClient and
cocarClient are supposed to be the same object. But I was indeed
passing something else.
In
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
stopService(new Intent(this, cocarClient.getClass()));
}
cocarClient.getClass returnes ComponentName I think. I changed this
to
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
stopService(new Intent(this, ClientService.getClass
()));
}
and it works fine! Thanks for the hint, Dianne!

[android-developers] Re: When does my thread die (continued discussion)
OK, I'm stopping the service in the activity's onStop() method:
@Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
stopService(new Intent(this, cocarClient.getClass()));
Log.i(TAG, stopped service!);
}
Now when I press the back or home buttons, the Log displays the
stopped service message but the service stopped, not receiving
events message from service onDestroy() isn't.
I think we need to clarify what's going on when the user presses the
respective buttons. What's the difference between the back and home
buttons anyways, which lifecycle methods of the activity and of the
connected service are called when they are pressed? How does the user
exit an application/activity (when she does not intend to return to
the service)?
As for the service itself, I would rather stick to it as new activites
might be added later on - and this way I get to learn about more than
one Android component.
Thanks, Lex
On Jul 1, 6:33 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote:
You should probably stop the service in onStop(). When you press home, the
activity will be stopped but not destroyed because the user didn't close it.
Also, if you really just want to do work while this particular activity is
in the foreground, there is no need to use a service. The only reason to
use a service is to keep your process running while none of its activities
are in the foreground.

It will show you the (serial) port where the GPS data is flowing to. In a console, enter emulator - avd avd_name -gps COMport_number. This will start the emulator and when you start your location app, you should be receiving real GPS data. Lex On 4 Jun., 02:11, David Turner di...@android.com wrote: emulator -help-gps ?

[android-developers] Re: Bug? Geo fix and sdk 1.5
I hooked up the emulator to the laptop's intergrated GPS receiver and
drove around the block to see if that will work. When I started the
application, my position was showed correctly. However, when I started
moving, it hasn't changed once. DDMS shows that onLocationChanged was
called only once. So apparently the emulator has a problem with real
GPS data as well. Am I right about this, that is is it true that the
problem is with GPS data in general and not only mock or only real
data?

Hello,
I have a really simple Android Application using a MyLocationOverlay

Toast.
But the geo fix command i submit via telnet does only work the first
time i submit it. ALl later tries to update the position do not work.
Anybody knows this problem?
Any solutiions
This is the relevant source code:
-
..
private void initLocationManager() {
locManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService

{
updatePosition(location);
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
}
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int
arg1, Bundle arg2) {
}
};
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0,
locationListener);
}
private void updatePosition(Location location) {
Toast t = Toast.makeText(
this,
getString(R.string.msgPosition,
location.getLatitude(),
location.getLongitude()),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
theMap.getController().animateTo(
new GeoPoint(
(int)(location.getLatitude()*1E6),
(int)(location.getLongitude()*1E6)));
theMap.postInvalidate();
}

[android-developers] Re: Google Android Maps API
Finally! I must not have seen the woods for the trees. I guess I got pretty confused about to what extent the Maps are a part of Android. I assume we should treat it as an external add-on despite the fact it's from the same company. Thanks a lot, Mark!

[android-developers] Re: Map view not displaying tiles in 1.5 but it's fine in 1.1
The built-in map application (and browser) work fine, and as I said before, firewall is fine - at least as much as I can see. I have exactly the same code running on a different machine (Vista) and it works just fine!

I don't know if it makes a difference ornot, but it generated a new key. file:///C:/android-sdk-windows-1.5_pre/docs/maps-api-signup.html This just calls back to the google server. The generation of themap key can only be done by our server. Glad to here it worked out.
