Re: [android-developers] OOM with heap enough
First, you do not know necessarily what BitmapFactory.Options are being specified on the decodeResource() call, as that does not appear to be called from your code, and it could be they have strange values in there. Beyond that, last I knew, Dalvik does not have a compacting garbage collector. I haven't seen a recent statement as to whether or not that limitation has been fixed. If it is still the case, though, your issue may not so much that you are out of memory, but that there is no single contiguous block that meets your needs.

There was no new SDK for Android 4.0.4, and hence no new official emulator. It is conceivable that somebody built an emulator image from the AOSP sources for 4.0.4, and that this is available for download, but it will not be through the SDK Manager. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

You cannot take screenshots in Android, which means you cannot stream such screenshots using Miracast. It may be possible to create an app that speaks Miracast over WiFi Direct to consume content, or display things other than the contents of the screen -- that's outside my area of expertise, and you have to buy the specification (http://www.wi-fi.org/wi-fi-certified-miracast%E2%84%A2).

You would need to not advertise a MAIN/LAUNCHER activity in your manifest. Then, the Open button might be disabled.

Re: [android-developers] Non-responsive Activity on Back
Sounds like there is a transparent activity at the top of the stack, or something along those lines, that has the foreground and therefore steals input. See if this recurs on the emulator. If it does, get the app in the state where it is not responding to input, then bring up Hierarchy View and see what turns up.

If a directory has an unrecognized qualifier, the directory is skipped; the qualifier is not simply ignored. Hence, older devices will not "see" your -swNNNdp resources. You can demonstrate this by taking a vanilla project, renaming res/layout/ to res/layout-swNNNdp/ (for some likely value of NNN), and running it on an old emulator. > On the other side, with new devices, the "sw" > qualifier should take precedence so the "large" and "xlarge" should become > irrelevant. Hmmm... I just ran a test on a project, where I changed it to have just one layout resource directory: res/values-sw100dp-normal/. That directory was picked up by a 4.0.3 WVGA800 emulator. Given your description, I would have expected it to fail here with a ResourceNotFoundException, since there is no place to fail over to.

So long as the translation explains what the links are providing (places for developers to ask questions or contribute answers), it does not have to be a literal translation of my English words. The objective is to allow somebody who speaks, say, Swedish, but not much English, to find the Swedish section (hence, the links at the top) and understand what the links will do for them.

There are developers who do not want to use the action bar, such as game developers who find that an always-present action bar is a distraction or clashes with their game-focused UI. A subset of those developers are clinging desperately to the old options menu behavior (e.g., setting android:targetSdkVersion to be under 11) -- the right answer for these game developers is to add "in-app soft menus" that blend in with the game UI. Because eventually, *something* will force their hand to set android:targetSdkVersion to 11 or higher, and even before that happens, users not used to the old option menu trigger will not realize there are menus at all. Most apps will do fine with an action bar. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.2 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

CursorLoader and my loaders *use* AsyncTask under the covers. Hence,
time ("take less than x mins") is not a particularly useful metric
here -- the behavior using Loaders or using AsyncTask directly should
be roughly equivalent.
If you like the Loader framework, use it, particularly if you are also
using a ContentProvider.
If you do not like the Loader framework, don't use it. Unlike, say,
trying to avoid EditText, the use of Loaders is purely optional. In
particular:
-- you can't use Loaders on API Level 10 and below unless you are also
inheriting from FragmentActivity
-- you can only use Loaders from an Activity, not a Service, at least at present
In those cases, your hands are tied: you have to avoid Loaders.

Since they are not handicapped in ICS, they are perfectly fine to use. In fact, CursorLoader uses AsyncTask under the covers. If by "handicapped in ICS" you mean the new default serialized behavior for execute(), use executeOnExecutor() and opt into the full thread pool. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Changing a CharacterStyle
That's an interesting approach. I do not think that it will work in
all cases. If you poke around at the logic for rendering text in
TextView, you'll find a bunch of baked-in class references (e.g.,
getUrls() only uses UrlSpan, spell-check logic relies on
SuggestionSpan), meaning that creating your own equivalents would be
at least partially ignored by the rendering code. I'm glad to hear
that this works at least for foreground colors, though.

Re: [android-developers] changed package name in manifest and now getting errors
You do not have a class named com.otl.AndroidRemoteApp1.SplashScreen,
apparently. Either refactor your source code to also be in
com.otl.AndroidRemoteApp1, or adjust your manifest to refer to your
components with a correct fully-qualified package name.

First, bear in mind that you *really* do not want to be opening a server socket unless you have a *lot* of security experience (or have a very large legal defense fund). That, plus the fact that direct device-to-device communications via TCP/IP will typically only work if they are on the same WiFi segment, means that you are probably better off using some sort of middleman. An example would be two devices interacting with each other over XMPP by means of a Jabber server. That being said, whether you use raw sockets, some protocol layered over sockets (e.g., HTTP), or some protocol layered over another protocol (e.g., XMPP), is up to you.

Re: [android-developers] Android APIMiner: Documenting the Android API with examples
Interesting concept! Note that it crashes when trying to view android.content.Intent. I am also not completely sure how you are choosing the lines of code to display in the examples, but sometimes it is just one line of code (e.g., dialog.dismiss(); as an example of how to call dismiss() on a DialogInterface). If clicking "Full Code" would jump you to the line in question, that would help us find context when none is shown on the original screen. Is this a short-term demo, or do you have plans to have this be hosted and maintained over time? Thanks!

I am surprised that Intent works at all, since you have no action. Use
ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE on API Level 14+ and ACTION_VIEW on API Level
13 and down.
As a side benefit, I suspect that this will clear up your chooser problem.

More importantly, it's what users will expect. Users will expect a 2.x theme on 2.x devices. The action bar UI pattern predated Honeycomb, and so having apps with action bars on 2.x is not unheard of. However, the Holo theme did not predate Honeycomb, and so users of Android 2.x devices will not be expecting some of the more substantive changes that Holo introduced (e.g., EditText border), since few if any of their other apps will do that. Users want consistency between apps that the user uses -- that's part of the reason why Theme.Holo vs. Theme.DeviceDefault was introduced. Consistency between the app's UI on *different Android versions* is not something most users seem to care about, simply it does not affect them, since they usually only have one device.

Have the "someone else" sign and upload it, as it is their app, from the standpoint of the Play Store. Reputedly, there is some process by which you can get the Play Store folk to transfer an app between accounts, though I am not seeing a mention of how to do that in the Play Store docs. Regardless, once an app is on the Play Store, the Play Store account and signing key must both match the original ones used with that package. So, if you do not have the signing key from "someone else" or cannot get "someone else" to arrange to transfer the app to your Play Store account, you cannot publish an updated version of the app. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Not by timestamp, as they may not be using the same clock. You will need to compare the file lengths and, if equal, compare the file contents. Note that this has nothing in particular to do with Android -- this is a generic Java programming issue. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Since view recycling has worked for all Android versions, for thousands upon thousands of developers, for over four years, it is likely to be something with your code. There are countless code samples to work from for recycling. The easiest thing is to not manage the recycling yourself, but to let your superclass handle it, if you are extending something like ArrayAdapter: https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/Selection/Dynamic The only reason why convertView will not have your desired widget is if, in some previous getView() call, you returned a View that did not contain that widget in the first place. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.2 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] How to cache google map tiles in latest api?
The documentation would appear to be incorrect. The Google Maps SDK add-on does not support caching of map tiles at the present time. You may wish to consider alternative mapping solutions, such as OpenStreetMap via OSMDroid.
