[android-developers] App specific licensing keys fiasco- Impact on old apps/new releases (URGENT).
Hi, My understanding was that for older apps, the licensing key would be the same as the older key for developer account. However what I am noticing is that in the new play.google.com the BASE64 encoded licensing key is different, even for the old apps. Can someone please clarify the following? 1.) Do we need to use the new licensing key for older apps in new releases? Or can we continue to use the developer account licensing key even in newer releases? Are there any other changes that we should be aware of to handle these correctly? Thanks, --MB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

In-app Billing in Android market does not support automatically renewing subscriptions. Users would have to re-purchase your in app items at the end of your billing cycle.

You could store your data in sdcard instead of storing it in per-app storage area. Deleting the app does not wipe the data the app stores on the sdcard.

[android-developers] Re: HorizontalScrollView automatically scrolling
After digging a little further:
The scrolling is caused by HorizontalScrollView.onSizeChanged. The HSV
gets the currently focused item and makes sure that it is visible in
the scroll in the new size, with the following code (from the HSV
source):
View currentFocused = findFocus();
if (null == currentFocused || this == currentFocused) return;
final int maxJump = mRight - mLeft;
if (isWithinDeltaOfScreen(currentFocused, maxJump)) {
// [Scroll the view]
}
I don't know what View had focus according the framework, but it was
trying to scroll it into view. I'm also unclear why this was only
happening when a ListView was shown - it's possible that the ListView
declares itself focusable and the LinearLayout doesn't.
I fixed the issue by subclassing HorizontalScrollView to return null
from findFocus(). I'm still able to click on elements within the HSV -
I suspect that navigating the UI with a d-pad might not work.
If someone has a non-hack solution let me know...

[android-developers] Re: Tiled Bitmap sometimes doesn't tile...
I'm also seeing similar, strange behavior using tiled bitmaps. I'm building for Honeycomb, and have a number of Views with backgrounds defined in the following selector drawable: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item android:state_pressed=true android:drawable=@drawable/tiled_bitmap_1 / item android:drawable=@drawable/tiled_bitmap_2 / /selector Here are the two xml resources for the tiled bitmaps: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? bitmap xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:src=@drawable/tile1 android:gravity=clip_vertical android:tileMode=repeat / ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? bitmap xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:src=@drawable/tile2 android:gravity=clip_vertical android:tileMode=repeat / tile1 and tile2 are the same size, both in the same drawable-hdpi folder. On all views, tiled_bitmap_2, the default state drawable, always tiles correctly. tiled_bitmap_1 (the pressed state drawable) tiles correctly on some views, but not on others. Strangely, if I switch tiled_bitmap_1 and tiled_bitmap_2 in the background selector, both backgrounds always tile correctly. If I change tiled_bitmap_2 to another tiled bitmap - tiled_bitmap_3 - in the project, the tiling works correctly. But I then tried copying the xml for tiled_bitmap_3 into a new file, tiled_bitmap_3_copy, and used that copy as the pressed state drawable, and the tiling for the pressed state became inconsistent. Even though the two xml files are identical! Anyone have an idea on what could be causing this behavior?

[android-developers] Poor relevancy in Android market since yesterday.
Hi, I am noticing that the Android market search results have become extremely irrelevant since yesterday. This change in search quality(for the worse) is a recent one. Is anyone else noticing this? I haven't seen any official communication from Android market team on their blog regarding any changes in Android market search algorithm. Here are a few examples. 1.) Search for 'english news'. The first result is'NIV Bible', the second result is an app in Asian (non-English) language, the third result is 'China daily'. 2.) Search for 'trail map'. The first app has nothing to do with trail maps. The fourth app onwards are apps in Asian (non-English) languages.

[android-developers] Gallery selected item doesn't show selected state color
Hi there, In my app, I'm using a gallery with an Array of strings, and an ArrayAdapter. I'm using a colorStateList for the text color, to show the selected item in green. When the user interacts with the gallery, dragging, clicking or flinging, the green color appears correctly for the selected item. But the initial selected item doesn't show in green. And if I programmatically set the selected index of the gallery, the selected item doesn't' show in green. I didn't find this issue in my searches. I have defined the TextView used to display the strings in a layout file, gallery_item.xml TextView xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_height=match_parent android:layout_width=wrap_content android:textColor=@color/gallery_text_color /TextView The color state list is: selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item android:state_selected=true android:color=#ff9aca3c/ item android:state_focused=true android:color=#ff9aca3c/ !-- Just to be safe -- item android:color=#/ /selector Does anyone know why the initially selected TextView would be showing the default white color?

Thanks for the tip!! On Sep 16, 4:32 pm, David Brackeen brack...@gmail.com wrote: I ran into a problem of slow builds and thought I'd share the solution. I'm porting an iPhone app to Android, and as soon as I added the images to the project (400+ pngs), build time went from about 5 seconds to about 40 seconds. This is on a new machine, quad core i7, 8GB ram. The resource processor (aapt) was to blame. Every time I made a change to a layout xml file and hit save - bam, wait 40 seconds. After running aapt in verbose mode, it was obvious what was happening - aapt does png optimization every single time. Optimization is slow, and aapt only used one core. So it makes sense to turn this optimization off. Just run optipng once, no need to optimize every build or every time I save a layout xml file. So how do you turn png optimization off? You can't. There is no Eclipse setting, no command line option for aapt. Digging around the aapt source, I noticed something funny though - it only optimizes images in the drawable folders that end in .png.http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;... Solution: rename all the pngs to end in uppercase .PNG. Then aapt simply copies the files without optimizing. My build time is back to 5 seconds!

In case of a constructor, the compiler will tell you that you have to
call the super first.
However if I know that I am not altering the state of the base class,
such as logging a message, I could put that method either before or
after.
Also if you want the behavior of the base class to be a default one
after you have exhausted your options such as attending to menus, then
you want to call the base super last.
In the particular case of onCreate, as it resembles construction, I
go with calling the super first.
Hope this reflection helps

[android-developers] Re: Help: service auto restarts on breakpoint when debugging a service
How did you conclude that the service is auto-starting?
Put some 'Log.d()'s in your code in onCreate to confirm auto-starts.
I've noticed in the debugger that at times, you have to 'step/next'
twice to get over a statement.

[android-developers] Re: Which Android service path to choose for implementing a large upload?
What do you mean by an IntentService? A singleton object running a Thread would be easier to implement and would probably port out of the box on other java based platforms. However it would have the following drawbacks: - Android only treats Activities and Services as components. So if you are using a singleton object to do the grunt work, your process would become a candidate to be killed with higher probability in low memory conditions. - Notifications require a Context in android. So a singleton object would not be able to issue notifications. I would suggest using a Service.

Hi, I would really appreciate any insights/pointers regarding creating a layout like this. I have wasted quite a bit of time on this. I want to create a vertical linearlayout which has multiple ExpandableListViews separated by TextViews. - TextView - ExpandableListView - TextView - TextView - ExpandableListView - ExpandableListView I tried the following approaches but each of them has one shortcoming or the other: 1. Add TextView and ExpandableListViews to a linearlayout. The problem with this approach is that LinearLayout by default is unscrollable. Adding the LinearLayout to a ScrollableView creates even more issues because ListViews handle their own scrolling behavior. 2.

[android-developers] Re: Announcement: DynaDroid - an open source micro-framework for Android
Thanks a lot for sharing this. What is the minimum SDK version supported by the framework? Does it support API level 3 (Android 1.5)? On Apr 24, 5:28 pm, Brian Knorr btkn...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, We developed the popular mobile travel application TripCase (http://www.tripcase.com) natively for the iphone, backberry, winmo, and recently Android. We really like the Android framework compared to the others, but found some of it's concepts like Activities to be very cumbersome when dealing with screen based applications like ours. We have many forms and workflows, lots of viewable and editable data, and we make many calls to our back-end Rails server. In order to streamline our development efforts on Android we created a small convention-based micro-framework which we are calling DynaDroid and would like to open it up to the Android community for use. http://code.google.com/p/dynadroid/ Here are some of the features that you get with DynaDroid: * The entire micro-framework is housed within a singe Activity, so sharing data between screens is finally easy again. * Code by convention and all your xml layouts and menus are dynamically available. * Screen management for pushing, popping, and swapping screens (all with transition animations). * Screen orientation (landscape, portrait) can be controlled on a screen by screen basis. * Error reporting support built-in, so if your app crashes a report is sent to you. And there is more to come: * More dynamic coding conventions - let's get rid of all those if/ else and case statements! * Built-in screen analytics for tracking user interaction * Simplified device to server communication with xml/json parsing and automatic error handling * Extensions to Android UI components without all the plumbing * Easier to use api for interacting with device capabilities (camera, gps, phone, etc..) We would love your feedback on the micro-framework...so please let us know what you would like in the future. And if you have any questions or issues our Google group is located here: http://groups.google.com/group/dynadroid Remember DynaDroid is already being used in the production Android application TripCase, so it's been thoroughly tested and is ready for prime-time.

[android-developers] Re: Alarms/Wake Locks/Sound notification question
Perhaps, for the sound notification to fire, the screen should be on. Try acquring wakelock using different flags. I would start with SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK and move all the way up to FULL_WAKE_LOCK.

[android-developers] KeyListener not working as expected
Hello All,
I am trying to implement a basic program.
I have a EditText view, and want to set a KeyListener to it.
Here is the code below.
myText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View view,int keyCode,KeyEvent ke)
{
Log.d(TAG,”Into on key”);
return true;
}
});
As it is returning true, the onKey method is called for all keys from
keyboard on screen, but the typed text does not appear on the EditText
view.
If I return false, the onKey method is called for only meta keys like
Backspace (keyboard on screen),and the typed text does appear on the
EditText view.
I want to typed text on the EditText view, and work for all keys from
keyboard on screen(default Qwerty keyboard).
Where am I making mistake.
Could anyone pls let me know.
Thanks,
MB
