[android-developers] Application modules in Android Market? How to?
I've noticed that some applications have modules available in Android Market (mainly themes). How can that be achieved? How do these modules link to the main application? What's the best implementation approach? Using different content providers? I would love to hear your opinion... -- 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] 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

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...

[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?

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). Thank you, Pedro Duque On 22 December 2010 23:49, Mario Zechner badlogicga...@gmail.com wrote: Full disclosure: i'm the developer of libgdx. I think both have it's merits. Andengine will get you up and running faster than libgdx but is less flexible and slower in terms of rendering speed. It has a couple of nice features though that libgdx doesn't have (and vice versa). Libgdx is not a game engine like Andengine but more like a framework. We also have a fully functional 2D scene graph which is a tad bit more powerful than Andengine's layer concept. The downside is that you'll have to code custom nodes yourself. As a scene graph is most often overkill we also let you go a little bit more low level. Look into SpriteBatch and SpriteCache. And if you want to go fullblown OpenGL ES that's possible as well, nothing will interfer with your code :) Apart from that i'd say that you shouldn't overlook the cross-platform feature. If you don't want to deploy your game on the desktop that is totally fine. However, you can benefit from the extremely fast development times as you can code/run/debug on the desktop for 99% of the time instead of having to wait for the slow installation of every new apk you produce. Think of it as a lighting fast replacement for the slow emulator. We also have full javadocs, full 2D and 3D example games and are currently also creating wiki articles to help users out. Again, Andengine is really cool so i won't tell you to ignore it. It has a lot of stuff going for it. It uses our box2d wrapper and vector classes as well (among other things), so the physics are nearly identical. I just added a new feature today that was missing so far: box2d raycasting. I don't know when Nicolas will synch with upstream. That shouldn't keep you from using Andengine though. Evaluate both, they both have a pretty minimal setup cost and should be straight forward to get into.

Hi Kostya, Thank you for e feedback. I've tried to find it with a Samsung Galaxy Tab (android 2.2) without success while I never had any problem with my samsung galaxy S (android 2.1).

[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.

[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
