[android-developers] Keyguard?!
I want to implement a custom lock screen for Android with a unlock password. Do you know how can I register a class to do it? Should it be done through keyguard? I have been searching for it but no luck until now. Thanks. PMD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] Keyguard?!
Hi Mark, Thanks for the fast response. I believe that something can be done (Lock 2.0 does a lock screen) although I don't think it will be a replacement for the default keyguard but an application that sits on top of it... while handling all events related to security.

[android-developers] Mimetype hell
Hi, I'm juggling with MIME types and got to a dead end. I have a file with a non standard extension "dcp" and created a specific MIME type for it "application/vnd.portugalemgrande.clock".

[android-developers] Libgdx vs. andengine
I'm starting a new Android project and I need an opinion. The project needs a 2d physics engine and OpenGL. I looked into libgdx and andengine and both seem to fit although I don't think I'll need the cross platform features from libgdx. Which one is more suitable? Advantages/disadvantages? Opinions?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Libgdx vs. andengine
Mario, thank you for your informed and quite complete post. My main concern is that I don't want to divert too much from Android concepts and I'm afraid that using Lidgdx will lead me into new and strange concepts from Android while AndEngine is more "integrated" with Android way. Anyway I'll follow your suggestion: I will try to evaluate both to get an hands on decision (maybe I'll blog about the experience).

[android-developers] Timezone picker
Hi,
I need to implement a timezone picker, but
TimeZone.getAvailableIDs<http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/TimeZone.html#getAvailableIDs%28%29>()
return is a big mess (at least in Samsung Galaxy S). What I did was:
ListPreference mTimeZone = (ListPreference)
getPreferenceScreen().findPreference("timezone");
String[] timezoneIDs = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();
mTimeZone.setEntries(timezoneIDs);
mTimeZone.setEntryValues(timezoneIDs);
I tried to make a two level approach splitting the string by the "/", but
it's still messy...
Should I implement my own timezone dabatase and forget getAvailableIDs
altogether or is there a way to use it?
Thank you,
Pedro Duque

[android-developers] Content provider persistence
Hi, I'm writing an application where the user needs to choose a timezone so I'm using the search capability of Android. For having the time zone as a recommendation inside the search, I've implemented a Content Provider for the time zone. The problem is that the content provider remains "alive" after the selection is made... and I want to destroy it. How can I do that?

[android-developers] Virtual screen size

[android-developers] Re: Virtual screen size
Let me develop on this subject: I've develop a Live Wallpaper that was working perfectly in Android 2.1. It emulate the standard Android wallpaper by having a bitmap scrolling when a user changes screen. To achieve that effect I use the event "onOffsetsChanged" to detect screen changes when the user swipes left and right. I just installed Android 2.2.1 and now the values returned in onOffsetsChanged for xPixelOffset and yPixelOffset are always 0. The value for xOffset and yOffset do return values from 0 to 1 but because WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() and WallpaperManager.getInstance(myContext).getDesiredMinimumHeight() now return the screen physical size instead of the screen virtual size, I have now way to calculate how much that percentage represent in terms of actual displacement. I know it's possible to achieve the desired result because the packed wallpaper has that behaviour. Can somebody help? Is this a problem with Samsung Galaxy S implementation or is this a standard behaviour?

[android-developers] SQLite setup
Hi, I need to use a SQLite database in my app (eventually create a Content Provider) but I'm not really sure how to setup that database.

I need to feed the database with almost 400 records to start but it seems too messy to create a 29Kb string to populate the database. Isn't there a more elegant way to do it that won't overload the system (I tried to create a resource with that string...). Any thoughts?

[android-developers] About viewstubs
I'm trying to gasp viewstubs but I feel I'm missing something. As I understand, a viewstub only exists in a hierarchy until inflated or until made visible. After that is replaced by its referenced layout. This behaviour makes impossible to reinflate a inflated viewstub. Is this correct? The behaviour I was looking for was to have several buttons that would open diferente viewstubs. When I click a button it would deflate the previous layout and inflate the new one but this only works the first time... After that the viewstub is gone... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Remote TextView setTag
Hi, I need to store a persistent string in a remote TextView and I was thinking about using the Tag attribute to do it, but then I realised that RemoveViews don't support a method setObject... Is there any way to make a setTag in a TextView in a RemoteView? Regards, Pedro Duque -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] sending and receiving a file by email
Hi,
I'm trying to send a file through email and them open it when it's received
on the email.
To send the file I use:
Intent sendIntent = new
Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
sendIntent.setType("application/vnd.portugalemgrande.clock");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Check this
out: "+cp.getClock_name());
//Attachs
ArrayList uris = new ArrayList();
uris.add(Uri.parse("file://"+fn.getPath()+File.separator+"clock"+type+".png"));
uris.add(Uri.parse("file://"+fn.getPath()+File.separator+"clock"+type+".dcp"));
sendIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
I don't have problems receiving the email back on the terminal, but I can't
manage to open the .dcp file from the email reader (I can only read it if I
save it to the sdcard and use a file manager to open it). My intent-filter
is as follows:
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Pedro Duque

Just for the record, this code is working... I had messed up the versions
that was the problem!

[android-developers] Help with LiveWallpaper and Camera
Hi,
I'm trying to understand camera development and started with a very simple
live wallpaper:
package com.example.LiveCamera;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
public class LiveCamera extends WallpaperService {
@Override
public Engine onCreateEngine() {
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
return new LiveCameraEngine();
}
public class LiveCameraEngine extends Engine {
private Camera mCamera;
LiveCameraEngine() {
android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
super.onSurfaceCreated(holder);
this.mCamera = Camera.open();
try {
this.mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("onSurfaceCreated","Error in
Camera.setPreviewDisplay"+e);
}
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int
w, int h) {
final Camera.Parameters parameters =
this.mCamera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(w, h);
this.mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
this.mCamera.startPreview();
}
@Override
public void onSurfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
super.onSurfaceDestroyed(holder);
// Surface will be destroyed when we return, so stop the
preview.
// Because the CameraDevice object is not a shared resource,
it's very
// important to release it when the activity is paused.
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.release();
mCamera = null;
}
}
}
I always get this runtime error on the Camera.startPreview:
11-20 06:18:52.543: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2054): java.lang.RuntimeException:
startPreview failed
11-20 06:18:52.543: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2054): at
android.hardware.Camera.startPreview(Native Method)
11-20 06:18:52.543: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2054): at
com.example.LiveCamera.LiveCamera$LiveCameraEngine.onSurfaceChanged(LiveCamera.java:46)
11-20 06:18:52.543: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(2054): at
android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService$Engine.updateSurface(WallpaperService.java:566)
...
Is this related to be using it with a LiveWallpaper? I'm using android-7 as
target and I get the same error in the phone (Samsung Galaxy S) and on the
Emulator...
Any idea on what the error might be?
Thanks

[android-developers] Authorizing Purchase problem
I just posted a application to Android Market: "Live Gallery Gold". It's a paid live wallpaper that is using LVL to authenticate users. Now, when I try to buy my own application I get a server error at "Authorizing Purchase". Is this normal? Can't I buy my own apps? Is it a problem related to LVL? I don't have any problem buying other applications... Please any suggestion will be welcome.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Authorizing Purchase problem
YuviDroid, Brill Pappin and TreKing thank you for your answers. It was really really helpful. I was worrying to have wasted all that develoment and testing time.

[android-developers] Application unavailable in Android Market
Hi, I've two applications in Android Market, "Live Gallery" (com.portugalemgrande.LiveGallery) which is a free application and "Live Gallery Gold" (com.portugalemgrande.LiveGalleryGold) which is the paid version. Although I can see both of them in my phone (in Portugal) if I use a similar friend's phone the app doesn't appear. Shouldn't it be available on all Android Markets? Is there anything we should do to make it available worldwide? Can you search for it in your market just to see if you can find this apps? Please report here with country please. Thank you!

Thank you TreKing, Of course I'm limiting the test to >=Eclair version. I tried it on a Galaxy Tab and other Samsung Galaxy S... but maybe it's a problem in Portuguese Android Market.

[android-developers] Handling ACTION_SCREEN in a widget
Hi,
I'm doing a widget that needs to be update on screen_on or on
user_present. As I'm not hable to register a BroadcastReceiver inside
the widget I'm doing it in a Service that is triggered by the widget
like this:
Widget.java:
@Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
super.onEnabled(context);
context.startService(new Intent(context,
WidgetService.class).setAction(WidgetService.ACTION_WIDGET_START));
}
WidgetService.java:
@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(LOG_APP,"WidgetService onStart: "+action);
if (ACTION_WIDGET_STOP.equals(action)) {
this.unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
stopSelf();
return;
} else if (ACTION_WIDGET_START.equals(action)) {
// register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
this.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
return;
}
The problem is that when I try to register the receiver I get the
error that the service has leaked IntentReceiver because it was
already registered. Ive checked and no duplicate registration was done
in my code.
Do you have any idea what I'm overlooking?
Thanks,
PMD

[android-developers] RSSI values
Hi, I trying to make a wifi meter and to get wifi signal strength I'm using the following code: WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); int rssi = wifi.getConnectionInfo().getRssi(); I get values between -40 and -90 when connection is established and -248 when it's not and I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S for testing. Is -40 and -90 the max and min values for RSSI or will it change in different terminals? Is -248 also a constant? Are they available on the API?
