[android-developers] How to switch an Android TV in Bluetooth LE center mode ?
Hello I'd like to develop an app for Android TV that could control Bluetooth LE peripherals. Do you know if an Android TV can be used as a BLE center ? Are Android TVs in peripheral mode by default ? If yes, is it possible to switch an Android TV into center mode programmatically ?

[android-developers] Give a review as a beta tester on production version
Hi, I've my app in an open beta testing program. The app is currently only on production. (No beta test version running) Testers are facing a problem when they want to provide a review, on current production version : The following message in toast occurs : "Erreur lors de récupération des informations depuis le serveur ([RPC:S-9:AEC-9 B5NM-F2HJ-SWWBQ]).]" Which mean : "Error to retrieve data from server." After remove one of the accounts from besta testing program, this particular beta tester was able to post his review. I know beta testers cannot provide public review about the beta version. But for the production version, i think this should be possible and i do not see in the documentation any point about this case. Do you already meet this error?

[android-developers] localStorage html5 feature not working in WebView on Android devices of some manufacturers
I have a html5 application that I wrap in a WebView. To store and retrieve
user input values between pages, I use the *localStorage* html5 feature.
It works fine on my Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.4), but it does not work on
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Android 4.3.x) (= nothing happens, but also no error
in logcat). Or, to be more clear: *on Samsung, it does not work if the html
pages are loaded from within the app's asset folder*. It does work though
if I put the pages on a web server, as below in the outcommented line.
However, on Nexus 4, loading from file:///android_asset/ and also if I load
the pages on a desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox) from file:// path, it is
also working.
(I had another user reported the issue on a LG device, so it does not seem
to be Samsung specific).
Below are the settings of the web view.
webView = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.webView);
webViewClient = new MyWebViewClient(this);
webViewClient.setSm(sm);
webView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);

[android-developers] Re: localStorage html5 feature not working in WebView on Android devices of some manufacturers
Update: Storing and loading the value from localStorage works fine on all
devices while on the *same page*, however, not between different pages. In
my example, I can store and retrieve the value on 01_home.html, but when I
go to another page in the android_asset folder, I cannot retrieve it
anymore (on LG and Samsung device). Works fine on Nexus 4 though.
What is the reason for the different behaviour? Different WebKit version,
different Android version, vendor?

Re: [android-developers] why is the account managed by AccountManager is delete automatically ?
Some of my users are experiencing the same issue. My suspicion is that the
default install location changed from internal to external on 4.1.1. At
least one user reported things are working with
android:installLocation=internalOnly
set in the manifest. This should be default behavior according to API-doc,
but it seems like it isn't on 4.1.1.

Re: [android-developers] Setting screen on/off
Why does the SDK not allow that for third party apps? Also, why does turning the brightness to 0 entirely turns the screen off and lock it? Why is there no way to just turn the screen off (entirely dim) without locking it, and also keep it listening to touch events?

[android-developers] VideoView doesn't start when invisible
I have an AsyncTask, where I hide a video view, start the video playback,
and show the video view when the video is playing.
But the video would just not start when the video view is set to invisible,
the async task keeps hanging in onBackground. If I comment out this line
(or set it to View.VISIBLE), the video starts playing. Why does the video
view require a *visible* surface?
public void walk(final View v) {
new AsyncTask() {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
mVideoView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); // this line causes video
not to start
mVideoView.start();
}
@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object... objects) {
while (!mVideoView.isPlaying()) {}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object o) {
super.onPostExecute(o);
mVideoView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}.execute();
A bit of background why I'm doing this:
I try to avoid the well-known issue of the black flash that you usually
have when starting a video (or in my case, play one video right after
another one, without any gap / black flash):

[android-developers] Re: major problem with network location fixes and their timestamps
I thought that It seems as though the Location.getTime() sometimes isn't accurate, in that the system under certain circumstances just updates the time of an old fix and passes it on as though it was new. For us, this is very unfortunate. and I *need* recent fixes, and for that i need to know how old the fix is. I therefore utilize location.getTime() against the system.currenttimillis to see how old it is. Describes my problem. As for your answer it really a long discussion, but short answer is that i do listen for it but gps often takes long time, user might have turned off and it doesn't work indoors. This problem is about the network provider, as i wrote. I appreciate any feedback, so thanks. On Oct 13, 1:39 pm, lbendlin l...@bendlin.us wrote: you haven't explained your problem yet.

[android-developers] Re: major problem with network location fixes and their timestamps
As mentioned in another reply and in my original post, this issue is about the network provider. My app can't wait forever, user sometimes has gps turned off and it doesn't work indoors. When i DO get a GPS fix, it works fine. Thanks for feedback mate. On Oct 14, 6:54 am, Studio LFP studio@gmail.com wrote: Can't say that I've seen that before. I've only used the GPS a small to medium amount, but seems a little weird. Is the GPS hardware not able to get a fix and causing your logic to drop back to the network GPS? If so, it might be that. Is it happening on multiple different devices and how many devices have you tested it on? You might want to check out the GPS Status app on the market and see if it gets a fix. If it does, it will tell you the time it got it and other information about the fix. Good way of testing the hardware and see if you have an issue there.

BOTTOM LINE (to be detailed further down): It seems as though the Location.getTime() sometimes isn't accurate, in that the system under certain circumstances just updates the time of an old fix and passes it on as though it was new. For us, this is very unfortunate. I think it has something to do with this logline (again in more detail below): 10-12 16:34:47.186: DEBUG/LocationMasfClient(1188): getNetworkLocation(): Returning cache location with accuracy 1072.0 From what i can see, the same location is returned over and over again, just with its timestamp overwritten... EXPLANATION: Have an app that queries location. I register both network and gps, wait for a certain time and takes what comes back from either one and unregister both. Before i register i check the latestknown location and use that if it's not too old. All works fine, process wise, but there's one major issue.

[android-developers] major problem with network location fixes and their timestamps
Hi, if someone could bear with me on this one i'd be most happy since i'm really disillusioned right now. BOTTOM LINE (to be detailed further down): It seems as though the Location.getTime() sometimes isn't accurate, in that the system under certain circumstances just updates the time of an old fix and passes it on as though it was new. For us, this is very unfortunate. I think it has something to do with this logline (again in more detail below): 10-12 16:34:47.186: DEBUG/LocationMasfClient(1188): getNetworkLocation(): Returning cache location with accuracy 1072.0 From what i can see, the same location is returned over and over again, just with its timestamp overwritten... EXPLANATION: Have an app that queries location. I register both network and gps, wait for a certain time and takes what comes back from either one and unregister both. Before i register i check the latestknown location and use that if it's not too old. All works fine, process wise, but there's one major issue. I *need* recent fixes, and for that i need to know how old the fix is. I therefore utilize location.getTime() against the system.currenttimillis to see how old it is. However, we see in certain scenarios, that the fix coming back, with a recent timestamp (often under a second!) is for a location where we know that the phone hasn't been at for over 30 minutes!

[android-developers] Sent/delivered SMS: how do you identify to which SMS the broadcast belongs?
In thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4639778/how-to-monitor-each-of-sent-sms-status it is described how you can monitor the status of a sent/delivered SMS via broadcast. However, I haven't found: how do you identify to which SMS the broadcast belongs? There doesn't seem to be any information in getResultData() nor getResultExtras() as far as I have checked. The use case is: I send multiple SMS in a loop one right after another. I want to monitor the status/success of the deliver for each message. How do I know which broadcast belongs to which message. (Delaying the delivery of each sms until I've gotten a broadcast for each previous one isn't really the best option, or only the last one to consider if there's no other way). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Sent/delivered SMS: how do you identify to which SMS the broadcast belongs?
Found the solution, using extras. When passing along extras to the pending intent, it's important to add the flag FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT. Intent sendIntent = new Intent(SMS_SENT); sendIntent.putExtra(message, formattedMessage); sendIntent.putExtra(number, phone); PendingIntent sentPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, sendIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Nexus S and gingerbread Sensor events — Which sensor uses what hardware ?
Hello, TYPE_ACCELEROMETER uses the accelerometer and only the accelerometer. It returns raw accelerometer events, with minimal or no processing at all. TYPE_GYROSCOPE (if present) uses the gyroscope and only the gyroscope. Like above, it returns raw events (angular speed un rad/s) with no processing at all (no offset / scale compensation). TYPE_ORIENTATION is deprecated. It returns the orientation as yaw/ pitch/roll in degres. It's not very well defined and can only be relied upon when the device has no roll. This sensor uses a combination of the accelerometer and the magnetometer. Marginally better results can be obtained using SensorManager's helpers. This sensor is heavily processed. TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION, TYPE_GRAVITY, TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR are fused sensors which return respectively the linear acceleration, gravity and rotation vector (a quaternion). It is not defined how these are implemented. On some devices they are implemented in h/w, on some devices they use the accelerometer + the magnetometer, on some other devices they use the gyro. On Nexus S and Xoom, the gyroscope is currently NOT used. They behave as if there was no gyro available, like on Nexus One or Droid. We are planing to improve this situation in a future release. Currently, the only way to take advantage of the gyro is to use TYPE_GYROSCOPE and integrate the output by hand. I hope this helps, Mathias On Mar 13, 3:03 am, Pritam pritamsha...@gmail.com wrote: Could someone help to know which sensor uses which part of phone's hardware or in what combination of this on Nexus S in android 2.3 ? Following are the sensor events: TYPE_ACCELEROMETER TYPE_GYROSCOPE TYPE_GRAVITY TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION TYPE_ORIENTATION TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR I assume first 2 corresponds to separate hardware (accelerometer and gyroscope), but how with the other remaining ones ? Does TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION uses both Acceleromter and Gyroscope hardware at its best? I am actually interested in linear aceleration so should I need not worry about gyro events, if linear acceleration internally uses gyro to give out values ? Also when tested on device ( Nexus S ) linear accelerations found to give high values for minor shakes , so assuming this removes gravity vector, this was not expected.

I went through different urls, but didn't see any info regarding
facebook.
I tried
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI
as URIs already in the code below:
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null,
null);
while (c.moveToNext()) {
for (int i=0; ic.getColumnCount(); i++) {
Log.d(TAG, c.getColumnName(i) + : + c.getString(i));
}
Log.d(TAG, ==);
}
I do get a column value like
contact_status_res_package: com.facebook.katana
in this dump, and I also get the contacts status (column
'contact_status'), but nowhere do I see the facebook url or id of this
contact.

Yes, it's probably managed by the system, yet I'm still wondering: Below you can see that the browser activity runs in different processes (#2307, #5536) before and after I killed/restarted it, and yet it's displaying / restoring the same UI input values entered by the user, regardless of being in an entire new process. So, are the two activities in these two processes actually the same instance? If so, why? (I was thinking of something like 'task parenting' to be eventually happening here, but it cannot be, since there's no android:allowTaskReparenting attribute in the application's manifest and the default value for an activity for such is false. And it would also mean that the activity wouldn't really be gone even after kill has been executed.)

[android-developers] Re: Where is the UI state information (used in super.onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)) stored ?
Not too scary if you look at my scenario ;-) I have devices that I rent out to end-users through a hotel/concierge. These devices hold 1) my app, 2) browser, 3) facebook app. End-users (hotel guests) can rent the devices and return it to the hotel. The non-technical hotel concierge needs to be able to clear all user data with one click from 1) my app before handing it to another guest, without needing to go through the application settings of each application, clear data there. For a non-technical person, those would be too many steps. In fact, the concierge doesn't even have access to the device settings (he can only move around the mentioned three apps). Therefore I need a way to clear the data programmatically via script (one button click in my app). But I don't want to need a force a device reboot if that's not really necessary. I'd like to understand what's happening here, i.e. how can the two have the same instance state / bundle? Just because the two activities have the same package / class name? And also, why is there a difference whether the activity was last in the foreground or not. Ok..., I'm probably repeating what I already mentioned above. I know it's kind of a special use-case I'm having here... still trying to find a good solution hopefully without needing to force a reboot. I appreciate your input or any other ideas for such scenario. Thanks.

However, they might have the same *instance state* (i.e., Bundle). I have no real idea what you're trying to accomplish here -- what you originally posted sounds scary. However, the answer for dealing with all this in-flight instance state stuff is to reboot the phone.

That's what I thought. But why is the UI state then not entirely cleared? But I found the following difference though doing some more testing - I found there's a difference whether the activity is in the foreground or not when I do the kill: Case 1) I start the facebook app, I am on the login page, enter a username (but don't submit), then I switch to the Terminal app on my device (thus, the FB activity is not in the foreground anymore), then I kill all facebook processes (which I see via 'ps'), and restart the app (via home long-press, selected recent). The username is still there! Case 2) I start the facebook app, I am on the login page, enter a username (but don't submit). Then I kill the process via PC (adb shell), while the facebook login screen is still in the foreground when I do the kill). When I execute the kill command, I can see the FB activity getting closed on the device. When I then restart the app (via home long-press, selected recent), the username on the login screen is gone - as expected. Why is there a difference whether the application is in the foreground?

[android-developers] How to protect video/audio content (OMA DRM on Android)
I'm looking for a way to protect video and audio content (around 2GB) from being copied / played on other devices than the one where the app has initially been bought and installed on. What's currently the best approach? I try to research on the web but can hardly find any up-to-date information on this topic for Android. I looked into the (controversial) OMA DRM, can hardly find any information on how to implement DRM management on Android, the Android docs give no information on that. I also looked at third party vendors and found around 2-3 (i.e. Mutable Inc., Discretix and Irdeto), I emailed them for further information but haven't heard back from any. It also seems that they're products/offerings are already outdated or not further supported, at least some websites aren't updated since 2007 (Mutable Inc.). Then there's an open source lib, OpenIPMP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openipmp/) by Mutable Inc., but it also seems to been last updated in 2006. Interestingly I found on http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=commit;h=d074e30ce44b9e33da43b67a4515b8986ca72b26 the following notice: -- snip -- Initial contribution from Sony Corporation. Add DRM Framework to support DRM content playback together with StageFright. - DRM Framework code is added - include/drm - drm - api/current.xml is updated to include DRM Framework Java APIs - cmds/servicemanager/service_manager.c is modified to add drmManager and drmIOService. -- snap -- Is DRM implemented differently for StageFright and OpenCore - or does only one of those Framework support it?

[android-developers] Width of LayoutParams for the outer ViewGroup ignored when set in java code (instead of xml layout)
I created a very simple activity where I create and set the views in
java code instead of xml. The width I pass to the outer LinearLayout
though has no effect at all (200px). The view is displayed across the
entire width of the screen, no matter what value I pass here.
(Note that this is just sample code; I know that in a real app you don't
use fixed values nor px as unit. I just want to point out the issue I
found for easier clarification).
But if I use the xml layout instead where the outer LinearLayout has a
value of 200px, it's applied properly and the view only takes 200px of
the screen.
Why does setting a fixed width in java code for the outer layout has no
effect, as opposed to the width set in xml?
In the activity code below, un/commenting either one of the lines:
// setContentView(llOuter); // -- using views from xml
setContentView(com.example.R.layout.main); // -- using views from
code above
should result in the same layout, not?
Activity:
=
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// outer linear layout
LinearLayout llOuter = new LinearLayout(this);
llOuter.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
200, // *** this param has no effect ***
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT
));
llOuter.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(#00ff00));
// inner linear layout
LinearLayout llInner = new LinearLayout(this);
llInner.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(

));
llInner.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(#ff));
llOuter.addView(llInner);

[android-developers] TranslateAnimation doesn't animate straight (X-only) but also in Y-direction (diagonal)
I have a TranslateAnimation that shall animate a LinearLayout (isScrollContainer) to the left and to the right along the x-axis. The animation to the left works and the animation is straight - means that the view is animated horizontally only. But the animation left to right doesn't work: instead of just moving the view from left to right along the x-axis, the view gets animated into the screen from diagonal lower-right corner. But for the Y parameters I pass fixed identical values.

I just see that I switched the params by mistake, it's not x,y,x,y but x,x,y,y On Oct 26, 5:12 pm, Mathias Lin m...@mathiaslin.com wrote: I have a TranslateAnimation that shall animate a LinearLayout (isScrollContainer) to the left and to the right along the x-axis. The animation to the left works and the animation is straight - means that the view is animated horizontally only. But the animation left to right doesn't work: instead of just moving the view from left to right along the x-axis, the view gets animated into the screen from diagonal lower-right corner. But for the Y parameters I pass fixed identical values. Here is a flv movie that shows the animation and issue I described:http://tinyurl.com/24n4eac Code as follows: View v = ((MainSlide)mCtx).activityFrame; // my view to scroll/animate Animation mBounceAnim; // animate to left edge - this one works fine! mBounceAnim = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollX(), // is somewhere between 0 - 239 Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollY(), Animation.ABSOLUTE, 0, Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollY() ); // == // *** THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY *** // == // animate to right edge mBounceAnim = new TranslateAnimation( Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollX(), // is somewhere between 240 - 480 Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollY(), Animation.ABSOLUTE, ((View)this.getParent()).getWidth(), // in my case is 480 Animation.ABSOLUTE, v.getScrollY() ); } mBounceAnim.setDuration(600); mBounceAnim.setFillBefore(false); mBounceAnim.setFillAfter(true); mBounceAnim.setInterpolator(new BounceInterpolator()); v.startAnimation(mBounceAnim); The view I'm animating is this: LinearLayout android:id=@+id/frame android:orientation=horizontal android:layout_width=960dp android:isScrollContainer=true android:layout_height=wrap_content/ (which is part of an ActivityGroup, where the LinearLayout holds the decorView of the activities; not sure if this matters in any way). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Wrong latitude/longitude points received by Emulator with new version of Android SDK
The map data in the Google Maps app and the maps that are available for developers to use via API (i.e. a MapView in Android SDK) come from different providers/sources, therefore the geo coordinates differ and the same lat/lng pair might pinpoint another location on both maps. You can see my post on stackoverflow here, especially my own reply to it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3289039/google-maps-apps-with-mapview-have-different-current-positions On Oct 24, 11:41 pm, Paul idi...@gmail.com wrote: This is not an app coding problem. I'm just calling toString on Location object. I can reproduce using Google Maps app on the emulator. Send emulator a known location (found using Google Maps web for example), and then use My Location on Google Maps app to see where it thinks that point is. Guess what, its off by a few hundred yards. I run the same example on the setup on my PC and everything is fine. This is some weird issue either Mac SDK or 64 bit SDK, or maybe even Java runtime (new version was recently installed on my Mac). So its not my math that needs to be checked, but someone elses, basically somewhere some funky conversion is going on, but its nothing that I've written. Also I have found one other person who had the same issue, posted on Stack Overflow (I've also posted there but no response yet). Its not something a lot of people would pick up on. You have to be testing a location based app and you have to be sending known locations to the app and then verifying that the app shows the correct point.

[android-developers] gmail.com not working on webview (after login)
I have a webview in my app that generally works fine for loading
websites. But I cannot get www.gmail.com to work: when I open
www.gmail.com I see the login page, try to login, afterwards the screen
goes black and my app/process is killed.
I don't see much in my logcat, just some strange debug information is
being dumped as below.
But generally https sites work fine, and even more complicated login
procedures like opening stackoverflow.com, logging in via openid through
https, back to stackoverflow, all work without a problem in my webview.
Only gmail.com is giving me these problems.

[android-developers] Re: gmail.com not working on webview (after login)
I found that if I don't assign a custom WebViewClient to the webview,
the app doesn't crash but opens the gmail site in the default system
browser. But I don't want that. I want it to open in my own webview
only - how to force it?
I filed a bug report under:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12097
it seems to be related but not 100% identical to:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11655
therefore new report. I also added a sample project / src to the bug
report that allows to reproduce the crash.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How does Android determine whether to move the layout up when showing the softkeyboard?
Hi Dianne, thanks for your reply. You'd need to set your view hierarchy to not correctly resize to adjust to its window How can I 'achieve' that (setting a view hierarchy that wouldn't correctly resize)? But even if the view hierarchy would be correctly set, why would it resize at all? It shall not. I definitely didn't set any flag regarding window resizing, neither in code nor in xml. What's especially weird here: if I hide my ListView by setting it to View.INVISIBLE, so that it even takes the same space(!) as if it would when View.VISIBLE, the behaviour is different: the window does *not* resize. And all I did here was changing the visibility-attribute, no changes to any window attribute or flag regarding resizing. You can see an updated screenshot here - to compare the activity when the ListView is visible(1) and invisible(2) and it's behaviour when I press the search button. http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9330/screenshotsearch.png As you can see, there are definitely also other elements in the layout that require some space (i.e. the black footer bar), and also since I just set the listView to 'invisible' rather than 'gone', I cannot find a logic explanation for the different behaviour.

On Sep 8, 8:58 am, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: You make a broken view hierarchy that uses fixed sizes, so doesn't adjust to the actual window size. Again, not something I would recommend. I don't see how non-fixed sizes make a difference here in my case. I have two activities with an almost identical view hierarchy, where the most outer LinearLayouts are identical, the very outer one using android:layout_height=wrap_content and the next inner one a fixed size of android:layout_height=480dp. The only difference between those activities is that in one activity I'm using ScrollView android:id=@+id/category_questions android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_width=fill_parent while in the other - at the same corresponding hierarchy level - I'm using ListView android:id=@+id/category_questions android:layout_height=fill_parent android:layout_width=fill_parent/ And that's the only main difference that already causes different behaviour! When using a ScrollView, even with fixed height of the very outer LinearLayout, everything works as I wanted and the window does not get resized / the layout does not get moved up by the softkeyboard. (Also setting android:layout_height=wrap_content or android:isScrollContainer=true|false for the ListView doesn't make any difference either.) @Kenny: I'm aware of that attribute, but it doesn't make any difference. I've also tried to explicitly set the property to adjustPan and also to adjustResize to see if there's any difference, but there's none at all. activity android:name=.activity.directory.Category android:label=Category android:windowSoftInputMode=adjustPan android:screenOrientation=portrait Don't know what all is going on there. You could try using hierarchyviewer to see what is going on with your view hierarchy. One possibility is that you haven't explicitly set resize or pan mode, so the framework is trying to infer this for you, and when the list view is invisible it considers it not to be there and thus there not being any resizable parts of the window, causing it to fall back to pan mode. If I don't define android:windowSoftInputMode, the default should be adjustUnspecified. And the behaviour for my two activities should be the same, since both are containing a view that can scroll content(ListView, ScrollView). In the docs for android:windowSoftInputMode=adjustUnspecified it says: The system will automatically select one of these modes depending on whether the content of the window has any layout views that can scroll their contents. causing it to fall back to pan mode. Pan mode is what I want, if I understand correctly that this is the mode where the softkeyboard just shows on top of the existing layout without moving it up. (not sure what 'get panned' mean in the Android docs, I'm not native). But as said, I've also tried to explicitly set the android:windowSoftInputMode attribute, and it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks for the info. It's clear now. enable adb by hand: I don't want to deliver the device with adb enabled, because I don't want the end-user to be able to do anything with adb. Scenario is that my client (very non-technical) does the data sync between PC application and Android device (using adb in the background), so all he needs to do is plug in the device and sync from within the Android application. In fact, he cannot even leave the application. So everything should be handled from the application, incl. enabling adb end disabling adb when the data sync is completed. This non-technical client will hand/rent out the device to other people for daily usage. I don't want those people to be mess around with adb in any way.

Nice, welcome to the group. So, while I'm talking to a Samsung Android dev... why not take the chance...: Can you please have the unnecessarily introduced Task Manager button removed from the 'recent apps' menu that comes up on long-pressed home button. It's been there only since recently (2.1 JF3 and Froyo) and there's no way remove/disable the button nor the entire Samsung Task Manager app. http://www.forceclose.com/questions/2540/how-to-disable-hide-task-manager-button-on-samsung-galaxy-s-2-1-jm2-froyo-2-2 (This newly added button alone makes me require to switch from Galaxy S back to HTC phones for my app (which is distributed bundled with the device), if I don't want to root.)

[android-developers] Cannot playback video from internal storage (/data/data/com.myapp/some/folders/video.mp4)
I have an application with a lot of media data (images and videos) that were previously stored on the sdcard. With that, images and videos are displayed fine in my app. Now, in order to secure the content more, I wanted to move the content to the internal storage / data dir of the app, which I did. I copied all media with a routine within my app to the data folder (/data/data/com.myapp/some/folders/video.mp4) and adjusted the path in my app so that it would look for the media in the internal storage data directory and not the sdcard anymore. Everything works fine, images are being displayed (decoded) properly, but videos don't play. They files do exist though - I do not get a FileNotFound exception. But an IOException: java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0xFFFC Why is that? Everything is handled within my one app and the videos have been copied with the same routine as the images, thus having the same permission settings. Looking at the stack trace, it all runs in process id 18060). Why I cannot playback the video from internal storage? Or how can I? Thanks.

Hi, if any of the android/sdk developer team is reading this - could one of you please briefly state whether it's generally possible to play videos from internal storage folder (i.e. /data/data/com.mypackage.app/ files/)?

[android-developers] Re: How to capture long press of menu button
I found the solution, very obvious, but somehow I was always just
looking at onKeyUp, instead of onKeyDown.
Overriding onKeyDown works fine.
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {
return true;
} else return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

any way due to guarantee reasons.
In my case, I've put specific features on the menu button and the
other soft buttons, but I don't want the default behaviour to appear
on long press; I'd like to override it with the same app-specific
behaviour that I use for a short press on this button (which I can
capture via onKeyUp for example).
Actually I would like to get the behaviour as it is on my G1 (1.6):
which is that long press is the same as short press. There's no
difference between long press and short press. Not sure if it's due to
1.6 version on it, but I think so.
But on my Nexus One (2.2) it's different (showing the soft keyboard)
and on the Samsung Galaxy S (2.1) as well. Doesn't make much sense to
me to have a search widget hidden behind the menu button on long
press.
I understand that the home button shouldn't be able to be overriden in
order not to trap users in your app; but why shouldn't the developer
be able to handle the menu button/long press?

[android-developers] Google Maps apps with mapview have different current positions
I have a mapview where I want to track the user's current location. GPS as well as 'use wireless networks' is activated in my phone settings. Nevertheless, since I'm indoor I don't get a GPS fix, therefore the location is determined via network; wifi spot is available. I have the Google Maps app running as well as my application running. Strangely, the current location differes between Google Maps and my application, where the Google Maps is very accurate while in my app the location is somehow off a few 100 meters. In my application I basically do the following (for debugging purposes now): 1) initially place one marker on the map: geopoint retrieved via locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); 2) initially place another marker on the map: geopoint retrieved via locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); This will put the last known locations of both providers onto the map (eventually last known from outside my app). 3) then for the regular updates (since I don't get a GPS fix anyway indoor here), I do: locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, baseLocationListener); You can see for the frequency and distance I pass the 0 param in both cases. In the app manifest, the following permissions are granted: android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION Actually my baseLocationListener does get called, which I see in the log, but the updated location is somehow the same as the last known current position (of LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER), same lat/lng.

Re: [android-developers] Google Maps apps with mapview have different current positions Options
I think I found an answer, although not a solution. It seems that the problem is in the data quality of the different map provider that are used for Google Maps and MapView in SDK, which differ. The map tiles coordinates don't seem to be very accurate, just like in the public google maps web api / tiles. See this screenshot for an example, where I pinned the same geo point. http://img339.imageshack.us/i/gmaps2.png/ The map using the public map api is off a few hundred meters. Seems that we just have to live with it. On Jul 20, 6:32 pm, Mathias Lin m...@mathiaslin.com wrote: I have a mapview where I want to track the user's current location. GPS as well as 'use wireless networks' is activated in my phone settings. Nevertheless, since I'm indoor I don't get a GPS fix, therefore the location is determined via network; wifi spot is available. I have the Google Maps app running as well as my application running. Strangely, the current location differes between Google Maps and my application, where the Google Maps is very accurate while in my app the location is somehow off a few 100 meters. In my application I basically do the following (for debugging purposes now): 1) initially place one marker on the map: geopoint retrieved via locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); 2) initially place another marker on the map: geopoint retrieved via locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); This will put the last known locations of both providers onto the map (eventually last known from outside my app). 3) then for the regular updates (since I don't get a GPS fix anyway indoor here), I do: locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, baseLocationListener); You can see for the frequency and distance I pass the 0 param in both cases. In the app manifest, the following permissions are granted: android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION Actually my baseLocationListener does get called, which I see in the log, but the updated location is somehow the same as the last known current position (of LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER), same lat/lng.

[android-developers] Selection list cut off in AutoCompleteTextView in Dialog
I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields. The problem I'm facing is that when the user starts typing something into the AutoCompleteTextView, the list with all suggestions only shows up to the bottom end of the dialog, but doesn't go beyond that even the list is longer. It looks like it's cut off. (screenshot left) Only after I long-press an item from the suggestion list, the list will be shown in full length. (screenshot right) Screenhot is at: http://img704.imageshack.us/i/dialogdropdown.png/ How to fix this behaviour so that the list shows in full length right from the beginning, when the user starts typing something?

[android-developers] ProgressDialog: Progress indicator not centered if no title/text is passed as parameter
When calling progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, null, null, true); usually the developers wants to only show the progress indication image, and usually would it expect to be centered within the window (at least from regular UI design point of view). However, the image is too far left, it seems that some padding/margin on the right hand side is still being calculated in for (optional) text on the right, although we're not passing any text as parameter. Screenshot: http://android.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=8651271940249741441name=progressIndicator.pngtoken=2d27341b454c113d649fed256b6cc6f9inline=1 I created a feature request for it at: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9697 So we don't need to create a custom dialog only in order to have the progress indicator being centered by default. The only way to achieve a progress dialog with just a progress indicator image centered in the middle now is by writing a custom dialog, which I now did. But is there any other way or parameter I might have overlooked that I could apply to the standard progress dialog?

[android-developers] Camera preview - strange on Samsung Galaxy S (2.1update1)
In my activity I show the camera preview on a surfaceView. It works perfectly fine on Nexus One (2.1update1, 2.2) and HTC Desire (2.1update1), but on Samsung Galaxy S (2.1update1) I see strange lines, weird proportions and everything three times. see the screenshot http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7466/device1s.png The issue seems to be similar to this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2053440/camera-preview-on-androd-strange-lines-on-1-5-version-of-sdk but none of the comments there helped. I tried to swap height,width for the camera parameters, but not much of a difference. (Side note: my activity is always in landscape mode, fixed. I have that fix in my manifest as screenOrientation parameters, in case that matters somehow). Camera preview parameters as below: == snip == private static final int IMAGE_WIDTH = 512; private static final int IMAGE_HEIGHT = 384; private static final String ORIENTATION = orientation; private static final String ROTATION = rotation; private static final String PORTRAIT = portrait; private static final String LANDSCAPE = landscape; camera = Camera.open(); Parameters p = camera.getParameters(); p.setPictureSize(IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT); p.set(ORIENTATION, PORTRAIT); p.set(ROTATION, 90); Camera.Size s = p.getSupportedPreviewSizes().get(0); p.setPreviewSize( s.width,s.height ); p.setPictureFormat(PixelFormat.JPEG); p.set(flash-mode, auto); camera.setParameters(p); camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder); == snap == Full code of my SurfaceHolderCallback (the relevant inner class in my activity) http://pastebin.com/YmcwEVn8 Anybody experiencing such issue on the Samsung Galaxy S as well? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The Android Market is bothering lots of developers, but Google doesn't seem to change anything about it or at least communicate anything about it.

Richard,
Joining this discussion late.
I hit a similar problem when developing on a Mac using Eclipse and a

I was using code like this, based on an example in Reto Meier's book
Professional Android 2 Application Development
---
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
ListAddress addresses =
geoCoder.getFromLocation(latitude,
longitude, 1); // maxResults

if(addresses.size() 0){
Address address = addresses.get(0);
for(int i=0; i

sBuilder.append(address.getAddressLine(i)).append(\n);
sBuilder.append(address.getLocality()).append(\n);
sBuilder.append(address.getPostalCode()).append(\n);
sBuilder.append(address.getCountryName()).append(\n);
}
addressString = sBuilder.toString();
}
} catch(IOException e) {
addressString = Sorry address could not be
established\n +
e.toString();
}
-
The addressString value is displayed to the user via a TextView
object.
When running it on the emulator I alweays got a java.io.IOException:
Service not Available
Switching to an earlier level 7 target 8 (SDK 2.1 plus Google APIs)
and redeploying the same code, the first time I ran it I got a more
hopeful error no address found or similar, then after sending a
location via the emulator, I got the full geocoded address correctly
displayed. I am thus in the situation like Kugelschlag - that
geocoding on an emulator works in 2.1 (7) but throws an Io Exception
in 2.2 (8).

When I browse via adb shell, I can see that the encrypted app file lies under /mnt/secure/asec/com.myapp-1.asec but it also lies as plain apk file unencrypted at /mnt/asec/com.myapp-1/pkg.apk as well and I can do a 'adb pull' without special permissions and unzip it to see it's content. Unfortuntately my N1 is in repair and I cannot check on a real device right now - but wondering, why can I still access the plain apk so easily (at least on the emulator)?

[android-developers] WebView memory leak
I have an activity using an xml layout where a WebView is embedded. I am not using the WebView in my activity code at all, all it does is sitting there in my xml layout. Now, when I finish the activity, I find that my activity is not being cleared from memory. (I check via hprof dump). The activity is entirely cleared though if I remove the WebView from the xml layout. I already tried a webView.destroy(); webView = null; in onDestroy() of my activity, but that doesn't help much. In my hprof dump, my activity (named 'Browser') has the following remaining GC roots (after having called destroy() on it): com.myapp.android.activity.browser.Browser - mContext of android.webkit.JWebCoreJavaBridge - sJavaBridge of android.webkit.BrowserFrame [Class] - mContext of android.webkit.PluginManager - mInstance of android.webkit.PluginManager [Class] I found that another developer has experienced similar thing, see the reply of Filipe Abrantes on: http://www.curious-creature.org/2008/12/18/avoid-memory-leaks-on-android/ : Indeed a very interesting post. Recently I had a very hard time troubleshooting a memory leak on my Android app. In the end it turned out that my xml layout included a WebView component that, even if not used, was preventing the memory from being g-collected after screen rotations/app restart… is this a bug of the current implementation, or is there something specific that one needs to do when using WebViews Now, unfortunately there has been no reply on the blog or the mailing list about this question yet. Therefore I am wondering, is that a bug in the SDK (maybe similar to the MapView bug as reported http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2181) or how to get the activity entirely off the memory with a webview embedded? (I noted a similar thread on the mailing list from last year, but unfortunately never an answer to it; http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/81312866cb21ec76/6d2fb24980aa71a3?lnk=gstq=webview+xml+memory#6d2fb24980aa71a3) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
