[android-developers] Live Wallpaper Crashing

[android-developers] Re: A way to search 2 applications in market?

[Ryan]

You can limit your search to just your applications like this:-

market://search?q=pub:

Not sure how you'd limit to just a subset of your app's though? Could
try and see if you can OR two package names together?

[android-developers] List View setTextFilterEnabled(true) and returned id

[Ryan]

Hi,

Is there a way to use a List View with setTextFilterEnabled(true) and
get the position into the unfiltered list returned to onItemClick?

E.G.

If I have a list:-

 - Zero
 - One
 - Two
 - Three

And a user types "T" o filter the list to:-

 - Two
 - Three

When a user clicks on "Two" in the filtered list, I would like the id
or position returned to onItemClick to be "2". But instead it returns
0, which is expected as it is the first item in the filtered list. But
what's the best way to get the position in the unfiltered list?

Thanks a lot,

Ryan

FYI My code is as follows:-

 

List list;
ArrayAdapter array;

list.add("Zero");
list.add("One");
list.add("Two");
list.add("Three");
array = new ArrayAdapter
(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);

setListAdapter(array);
this.getListView().setOnItemClickListener(this);
this.getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);

[android-developers] Failed to parse the output of 'adb version'

[Ryan]

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have Eclipse 3.5
installed with the Android SDK installed.

Everytime I open Eclipse, I get the error:
Failed to parse the output of 'adb version'

When I try to run a program, I get:
The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured.
You must restart adb and Eclipse.
Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'C:\Development Tools
\Android-SDK-Windows\tools\adb.exe' and can be executed.

I have tried to restart adb and Eclipse several times with no luck.

[android-developers] setImageURI() Problem

[Ryan]

This is a pretty basic thing but I couldn't get it to work in a more
complex routine so I tried to reduce it to the simplest possible thing
and it still won't work and it is driving me up a wall!

I am trying to set an image on an ImageView using the function
setImageURI(), the program compiles however the ImageView is blank and
never gets set. And in the logcat it gives the error:

11-27 22:23:51.405: INFO/System.out(18614): resolveUri failed on bad
bitmap uri: file:///sdcard/icon.png

However I know this is a good URI because I can get the gallery to
show the image using an intent with the same URI.

What am I missing??!


*** images.java ***

public class images extends Activity {

 private ImageView iv;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);

  // make file reference
  File file = new File("/sdcard/icon.png");
  Log.d("here", "Does this exist? " + String.valueOf
(file.exists()));

  // create uri for file
  Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);

  //reference the imageview
  iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.photo);
  iv.setImageURI(uri);

  Log.d("here",uri.getPath());

  // call an android image viewer
//Intent intent = new Intent
(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//intent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/png");
//startActivity(intent);

}
}

[android-developers] appwidget Image on Orientation Change Issue

[Ryan]

I am building an appwidget that is displaying images from the sdcard.
I am investigating how to get the appwidget to perform correctly on an
orientation change. Currently I am setting the image on an image
button in the remoteview from a Bitmap I created in the program.
However it seems that when the orientation changes this bitmap is
destroyed and the image won't display unless I update the remoteview
of the appwidget after the orientation change.

What should I do so that when the appwidget is remade after
orientation change the image is able to be redisplayed automatically?
The only thing I can think of is using a setImageViewURI() to point
the remoteview to the image file itself using a URI (I am having
issues getting this to work correctly thus far).

It seems that none of my code is excecuted on this orientation change
as it is only rebuilding the remoteview. Is there an accepted practice
here? Thanks,

- Ryan

[android-developers] Re: appwidget Image on Orientation Change Issue

[Ryan]

Ok I think I figured it out. In certain cases when the widget is
clicked i updated the RemoteViews to hide some on screen controls/
views using setViewVisibility on the remoteview, however I did not re-
set the setImageURI. When the screen rotated the Image dissappeared.
However this is odd because I would expect the image to dissappear on
updating the RemoteView without the ImageURI even without rotating the
screen. But it would only dissappear after rotating. When I did not go
through the routine that hid the controls/ did not set the
setViewVisibility, the image did not dissappear on rotation.

I am curious as to what happens to the RemoteView on orientation
change and why sometimes it seems to retain the ImageURI and others it
loses it.

In any case I have my workaround.

[android-developers] How to get custom parameter from custom ui tag

[Ryan]

dear all,

I try to implement a custom button(OnPressButton), and the code is in
below.
In LogCat, I can see the two parameters (btn_up/btn_down) value are

btn_...@drawable/btn_up
btn_do...@drawable/btn_up

But how can I convert this to point to R.drowable.btn_up and
R.drowable.btn_down ?

Thank you.

HTC has written their own home screen replacement app that allows

[android-developers] Re: How to change widget layout background or hide it dynamically?

[Ryan]

I am having this same issue have you found a solution? My current
workaround is to make a new XML layout file for each background that I
want in the imageview. But I can't believe that there isn't a way to
do this in code. Thanks,

[android-developers] onActivityResult is called immediately after startActivityForResult

[ryan]

Hello,

Im trying to do a basic startActivityForResult, but onActivityResult
is being called before the subactivity has a chance to call setResult.


main activity's menu handler for a specific button-press:
startActivityForResult(new Intent(this, SubActivity.class), someInt);

main activity's onActivityResult(int reqestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
alert(Integer.toString(resultCode)); // always 0 (RESULT_CANCELED?)
alert(Integer.toString(requestCode)); // always someInt
if (data == null) { alert("returned null"); } // SEE BELOW

SubActivity extends listactivity:
onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int i, long id) {
result = new Intent();
result.putExtra("key","value);
setResult(RESULT_OK, result);
finish();
}
-

the activity and subactivity execute fine, the result is where my
problem comes in.

from "SEE BELOW" above:
this line will always alert "returned null", however if i change this
line to:
if (data.equals(null)) { alert("returned null"); }
i get a NullPointerException before the subactivity can visibly start.
the subactivity's onCreate normally logs to the debugger, but nothing
appears if I cause a NullPointerException, which leads me to believe
that onActivityResult is being called before the subactivity is
created.

i've taken a look at the notepad examples along other examples on the
web and my code appears consistent with them.

plz halp

[android-developers] AppWidget Update on Orientation Change

[Ryan]

I am developing a photo frame widget, all works except on an
orientation change to landscape mode my appwidget doesn't display
correctly as I have it set to portrait dimensions and it is too large
for the display. I would like to run some code to resize the image so
that everything displays correctly and it uses all the space that I
allot.
What is the correct way to do this?
I can think of 2 methods however both seem inefficient. The first
would be to register a broadcast reciever to take orientation changes,
however I don't want to redo my appwidget everytime the phone is
turned on its side as the majority of the time the homescreen is not
showing when the orientation is changed (ie other apps are used, and I
don't need my code running in the background). I only need it to run
when the home screen is shown.
The second would be to setup a service to manage my appwidget but that
also seems inefficient to be always running in the background.

What is correct method to do this?

Thanks,

- Ryan

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget Update on Orientation Change

[Ryan]

Thanks, but I don't want a different layout. I want to use the same
layout. I just want to change the picture size that i use in the
imageview in the layout. I need to scale/crop the image so that it
fills the correct size in the screen, going from portrait to landscape
should make the image change aspect ratio, however I can only do that
by running my code again, but I am just trying to find the best way to
call my code.

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget Update on Orientation Change

[Ryan]

Frank I can see this working. However as my code is now, I use an
imageView in the xml layout files to display my photo, however I don't
point the xml file to the photo. I process the user selected photo,
then save it to the SD card and then in code point the imageView to
the file I just made. I save the photo file on the SD card using the
widgetID in the name so that I know what photo belongs to what widget
if there are multiple instances of the widget running. This prevents
me from pointing the xml layout file to the photo as I don't know what
it will be named until I get the widgetID at runtime. Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget Update on Orientation Change

[Ryan]

Jeff, what did you do as a workaround? I think am going to always
process 2 photos one for portrait size and one for landscape. But I
feel like that is double the work needed. I should only have to
process this when needed (ie on orientation change on the homescreen),
this method will only slow down my app.

[android-developers] Dueling Activities Over the Intent's Hand in Marriage

[Ryan]

There have been many posts concerning developers attempting to extend
or overwrite Android's default applications: contacts, home, etc.
These often end in an explanation of the user prompt that allows the
user to decide upon the default activity to handle the intent. I
understand and agree with the reasoning behind protecting these
essential applications and alerting the user to any changes, but I
believe there are so many questions about this topic because the
system in place for setting a new default activity seems rigid and
unfinished. It makes sense to have a user select from a list of
similar activities when opening up something like an image editing/
viewing app, and perhaps selecting a favorite default, but to prompt a
user for every activity in a larger application, such as user-
interface overhaul, would be cumbersome for a user; in addition, it
could have unintended consequences if a user only accepted some of the
application's activities, but not others.

Something like a default activity list that could be selected or
rejected upon installation of the application would seem to be a
better solution. This sort of bundling could also be used when
switching back to the initial default applications (e.g. if one is
reverted, the rest are reverted, and the application itself is
notified of this activity in some way). So, I guess my question is
whether or not something similar to this solution is being developed
or if there's another answer to this problem?

[android-developers] Displaying Percentage Text inside Android Progressbar

[Ryan]

In order to display a percentage text inside Android's progressbar,
you will need to set up a .  Give the RelativeLayout
parameters followed below:

android:layout_width="200dip"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:padding="0dip"

Then close your RelativeLayout.  Inside your layout, insert your
 with following parameters:

android:id="@+id/youridgoeshere"
android:layout_width="200dip"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
android:indeterminateOnly="false"
android:max="100"

That's all for the progressbar, now on to the percentage text.  Create
a  inside your layout and give it the following parameters:

android:"@+id/youridgoeshere"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textColor="#00"
android:textStyle="bold"

Close your TextView and there you have it!!! Your text should be
centered horizontally and vertically inside your progressbar.  The key
is to set up a relative layout while keeping it the same width as the
progress bar. Then using the parameter "centerInParent" keeps both the
progress bar and textview in the center of the relative parent.  Hope
this helps out. Enjoy!

[android-developers] G1 and PS3 question

[Ryan]

I plan on putting 4-6 gigs of music on my G1.  I then want to stream
that music using bluetooth or wi-fi to my stereo system.  I figured
the best way to do this would be to use the bluetooth/ wi-fi abilities
of the PS3.  The idea is to control the music heard throughout the
house using the G1.  I can see that it's possible.  But, my question
is does an application(s) or software exist to make this happen?
Thanks and cheers, Ryan

[android-developers] Animations Persistance

[Ryan]

Hi,

I am looking for a way for animations to persist in my application.
For example, if I user clicks one button I want to run a scale
animation on a view, to scale the view 200%. Then if a user clicks
another button I may want to run a tanslate animation to slide the
view 50px's to the left.

I can set up both of these animations to run in isolation, and to
persist afterwards by setting fillAfter to true. But each time a
button is pressed the view goes back to it's original position and
scale, before the animation is run. E.G. I cannot get my scaled view
to move 50px's o the left. It always reverts to an unscaled view, and
then slides this left.

Any advice, to get the transformations to persist for the lifetime of
the views would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

[android-developers] Scale a View's Frame

[Ryan]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to scale a view's frame. E.G. I would like to
apply the same effect to a view as running a scale animation. However,
without having to run the animation.

I have discovered how to scale the view's canvas. But this doesn't
seem to increase the views frame size, like a scale animation does.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Many thanks,

Ryan

[android-developers] WebView loadData and XML Parsing Question

[Ryan]

Hi,

When I use the WebView.loadData function from a sring returned from
XMLPullParser.nextText, the WebView always displays the following
error message:-

Web page not available
The Web page at data:text/html;utf-8...
might be temporarily down..

However, if I hard code the same text into the loadData function all
appears fine.

My code for parsing the XML is very similar to the api example, which
I have copied below:-

public String getHTMLDescription(InputStream xmlData) throws
XmlPullParserException, IOException {
String html = new String();
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(xmlData, "UTF-8");
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(reader);

XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

xpp.setInput(buffer);
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
   if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
 if(xpp.getName().compareTo("description") == 0) {
 html = xpp.nextText();
 }
 eventType = xpp.next();
}

return html;
}


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ryan

[android-developers] Re: WebView loadData and XML Parsing Question

[Ryan]

Thanks for your reply Fred. The debug log shows the follwing line for
getting the text out with the xpp.next() function.

01-12 21:53:48.705: INFO/System.out(549): Text Tonight's
weather in LondonA few evening showers Min 6C(43F )
Probability of rain: 89%Minimum Temperature: 6C(43F )Wind
force Beaufort: 4Wind description: Moderate BreezeWind
direction: SSWSunset at: 4:17 pm

The log then shows:-

01-12 21:53:49.544: INFO/ActivityManager(51): Displayed activity
com.mycom.myapp/.MyWebViewActivity: 5050 ms

It is this activity that has a WebView that calls the loadData
function with the string above.

There are no errors as such. It's as if the WebView takes the string
as a URL and try's to request data from the URL, instead of just
displaying the string. Does that make sense?

[android-developers] Re: WebView loadData and XML Parsing Question

[Ryan]

Actually, I think I am confusing the issue. I just tried the following
code inside my WebView:-

final String mimeType = "text/html";
final String encoding = "utf-8";
html = "Tonight's weather in LondonA few evening
showers Min 6C(43F )Probability of rain: 89%Minimum
Temperature: 6C(43F )Wind force Beaufort: 4Wind description:
Moderate BreezeWind direction: SSWSunset at: 4:17 pm";
this.loadData(html, mimeType, encoding);


This does not do wha I expect. This displays a WebView with the
following error message:-

Web page not available
The Web page at data:text/html;utf-8...
might be temporarily down..

I was expecting the WebView to use my string as the HTML content. This
is how it works for simpler strings.

[android-developers] Re: WebView loadData and XML Parsing Question

[Ryan]

> I'm guessing it was the first suggestion, not the other two.

Actually, they were such simple changes I made both at once. E.G. I
used "UTF-8", instead of "utf-8". And I switched to the
loadDataWithBaseURL function. The variable html was always a String so
no change there.

I'm guessing it's the loadDataWithBaseURL function that did the trick,
but I will try both suggestions in isolation just to make sure.

I'd rather not use the loadDataWithBaseURL to load local data if I can
help it, so I'll continue researching a fix for the loadData function.

Thanks for your help.

[android-developers] SharedPreferences getting lost on device power off / on

[Ryan]

Hi,

I'm finding if I save pref's and then turn my G1 off and back on, they
have been erased. Is that the expected behaviour? I've seen similar
reports from a search, but cannot find a solution.

My code to save and restore is as follows:-

public void save() {
SharedPreferences activityPreferences = myActivity.getPreferences
(Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = activityPreferences.edit();
editor.putString("PrefName", "My String");
editor.commit();
}


public String load() {
SharedPreferences activityPreferences = myActivity.getPreferences
(Activity.MODE_PRIVATE);
return activityPreferences.getString("PrefName", "Default String");
}

Thanks a lot for any advice.

Ryan

[android-developers] Comunication between Google MapView and LocationListener

[Ryan]

Hi all,

I've implemented a Mapview in the main activity and used
LocationListener to monitor the location. If the location changes,
method "public void onLocationChanged(Location location)" will be
called.

But then how can I transfer the location data from Listener to the
main activity where my mapview located? Thanks.

[android-developers] Upload Error (corrupt manifest)

[ryan]

After using apkbuilder to make an apk file and then jarsigning it with
a certificate good for 100 years, I'm getting this strange error when
attempting to upload:

The file is invalid: W/ResourceType(29469): Bad XML block: header size
28024 or total size 1702240364 is larger than data size 973 ERROR:
AndroidManifest.xml is corrupt

This is the same error I get if I let apkbuilder sign it.

The application builds and runs just fine on my phone via ABD/DDMS in
Eclipse. Couldn't find anything relating to this error out on the web.

Here is my manifest:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0"
package="info.yoosefi.android.scout">

[android-developers] What's holding up UK paid app's

[Ryan]

Hi,

Do we know why UK end users can't get paid app's yet? Is it just a
case of waiting for T-Mobile to release the latest update, or do
Google still need to do some more work to make this live?

Anyone got any rumours of a timeline?

Thanks a lot,

[android-developers] Re: Update UK G1 not showing paid apps

[Ryan]

I can confirm this is the same on my UK G1.

The market is no longer Beta, but no paid app's yet. My guess is the
update means UK G1's can now support paid app's, but we're still
waiting on Google to flick the switch and make them available.

Hopefully, not too much longer to wait.

[android-developers] HttpConnection Intermittent Poblems

[Ryan]

Hi,

My app uses a simple HttpConnection to download and parse some XML
that I host. The important code is as follows:-

URL url = new URL(urlStr);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
connection;
int responseCode = httpConnection.getResponseCode();

if(responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// do useful stuff here
}
else {
   // display connection
failed error message here
}

This works all the time on my G1 (based in UK), but a number of my
users are complaing they always see the connection failed message.
This is even though they have 3G connections and can browse the
internet, use google maps etc.

Can you see that I'm doing something obviously wrong?

Is there a more robust way to connect?

Any advice greatly appreciated,

Ryan

[android-developers] Ajax in Webview

[Ryan]

I've seen this questions posted elsewhere but I haven't seen anyone
find some of them same odd issues I have.
The app I'm working on opens a Webview to a page that requires Ajax.
On platforms before 2.0 this worked no problem, now suddenly nothing.
It simply stops at the loading clock. I don't see any reason why it
would work before but not on newer versions.
Even a proper reason why it's failing would be helpful.

[android-developers] Re: from FRF50 to FRF91

[Ryan]

Got the OTA as well but frf 91 will not install over my frf50. Can I
attribute this to having a custom recovery? I'm not rooted. Also, all
attempts to flash up from 50 (to 72, 82 etc) have failed. Tried
renaming files to upgrade.zip too, though ere to frf 50 flashing did
not require a file rename. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

[android-developers] Re: from FRF50 to FRF91

[Ryan]

How did you go from FRF50 to 91 with the OTA? I'm trying to do the
same thing but with no success. Is it because of my custom recovery?

Flashed from ere to frf50 with no trouble, but all signed passion.zip
files (50 to 72, 50 to 82) dont work.

I was surprised to see your comment that the OTA designed for stock
2.1 worked on your phone.

I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Any
ideas?

[android-developers] Re: from FRF50 to FRF91

[Ryan]

Update: Turns out I am rooted, blame the noobiness.

Waiting for Cyan 6.0. Tried the latest Cyanogen MOD but the market
didn't load and wifi-tether didn't work like it does in frf50... that
is, it didn't work at all.

The trouble started when I unlocked the bootloader and put in the
package that included Amon RA and super-user. I failed to notice I
wasn't exactly going to be running stock frf50. Hence the failure each
time I tried to flash a new OS from frf50. Now if only I could get rid
of the FRF91 OTA update reminder...

[android-developers] Android 2.2 and 3 stencil set

[Ryan]

Hello,

I've got some great ideas and i wonder what tools are people using to
develop wire frames for android applications?

I've found this:
http://www.graffletopia.com/stencils/578

And obviously the source is available to make my own stencil but i was
wondering what google uses internally and whether it could be
released?

I'm looking for a stencil set that works with google docs.

Thanks

[android-developers] loadDataWithBaseURL stopped working on Nexus 1 2.2

[Ryan]

Hi,

I have been using loadDataWithBaseURL to display dynamic HTML with no
issues, and today I get a force close everytime on my Nexus 1 running
2.2. Although it did work fine last week after the update.

Has anything changed that will stop this working?

Example code:-

 final String mimeType = "text/html";
 final String encoding = "UTF-8";
 wbvInfo.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://this/is/not/real", "Test",
mimeType, encoding, null);

As mentioned, this used to work fine, and still does on the G1, but is
now crashing the Nexus 1 everytime.

Thanks a lot,

Ryan

[android-developers] API's available for configuring email settings

[Ryan]

What API's are available for configuring the native android email
client's mail profiles?  I'd like to build an application to
automatically distribute out email settings to a group of devices so
the user does not have to do anything manually to configure email.
Ideally, I could also remove the email settings programatically when
desired, which would in turn get rid of the email associated with that
account.  As an added bonus, setting some of the things not available
thru the configuration wizard would be ideal as well, such as the
ActiveSync device ID in the case of an ActiveSync account.

Thanks in advance for any API help you can provide,
Ryan

[android-developers] Eclipse Android XML Editor Errors

[Ryan Loebs]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to setup the development environment on my Linux laptop and
Mac PC but I'm having issues with both environments.  When I try
setting it up in Windows it goes down without a hitch.  When I try to
do it in both Linux and Mac it all works up to opening any of the XML
editors.

I have not touched the XML files after generating the project using
the eclipse plugin's wizard so the error doesn't make much sense, but
when I try it produces the following information:

RE: [android-developers] Re: Multiple add-ons for multiple apps in one apk

[Ryan Beesley]

I would think so. An APK is basically a zip file with a manifest that has been 
signed.  Seems like you should be able to pin a manifest that installs those 
additional apps in your pack.  The biggest issue that I see is that the APK 
won't have been installed through Market and may have trouble updating as a 
result.  I'm not sure you want to go down this path, but I think you might be 
able to.

[Ryan Beesley]

-b elcair is more stable for me.  Not sure what the differences are between

What is the difference between them?
Currently I am using cupcake version and wanted to move up to eclair.
Would I need to do any thing else as far as syncing and building the
eclair branch? Currently I am using "Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)"
and java version "1.6.0_16".

Thanks,
Nick

Well, my initial thought is that this isn't really android-developers related.

Subject: [android-developers] Google Finance doing "credit checks"?

For those who applied to get your payout limit removed, Google Finance
required personal information (like SSN) with the understanding that
they "may" be performing routine credit history verifications.

Does this concern you?  I understand each credit check run on you by
any institution (bank, mortgage, etc) lowers your credit score.  I
can't understand how (or why) Google finance needs to do this.

Also, does anyone know how often they do these credit checks?

Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated!

[android-developers] Connectivity Manager - CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE

[Ryan Berti]

Hello,

I'm very new to the boards, and I have a question about the
connectivity manager but didn't see it discussed in my searches. I am
doing research on the possibility of producing a background
application that is woken up when an ad-hoc wifi network is in range.
I understand how to create a network of this type, but my problem lies
in the acknowledgment of a network of this type without busy waiting.

I have recently discovered that applications have to ability to be
woken up by "broadcast intents," where the app is declared as a
received in the manifest file. The one that interests me is the
ConnectiviyManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION. From what I understand, this
event is broadcasts when the device switches networks. I am wondering
if this functionality can be modified so that the event is sent out
when new wireless (preferably ad-hoc) networks are in range.

It seems like I could accomplish this by having my phone connect to
these type of networks automatically, but I'm not sure how to go about
this either. I am very interested in what everyone has to say. Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Connectivity Manager - CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE

[Ryan Berti]

Seems that this would work, but I am trying to get around the phone
waking up every time it receives a state changed event. Can this be
done, ie create a user defined event that I can listen for? Thanks for
the response.

[android-developers] Defining a UI subtree in xml, but instantiating it more than once. Possible?

[Ryan Moulton]

Hi everyone. Just getting started with developing for Android, so
apologies if there's an obvious answer.

I'm working on an application in which it's necessary to
programmatically change the entire structure of the UI. What I would
like to be able to do is specify a subtree of the UI in xml, and then
instantiate that multiple times as required throughout the tree. For
instance, if I need the user to set a numerical value, I'd like to use
xml to define all the widgets involved, increment and decrement
buttons for instance, and then reference this same file whenever I
need a UI of that sort.

Unfortunately, When I inflate the xml multiple times, I get the
following exception.

IllegalStateException
"The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView()
on the child's parent first."

This I'm assuming is because Inflating isn't creating a new object
each time, but rather creating a static singleton. Is there a good way
to do what I'm hoping to do, or should I abandon trying to use the xml
interface?

Thanks for the quick response! If I'd known I could get an answer so

I can debug it from here then.

Is the best way to do this View.inflate(activity,
R.layout.what_id_like_to_inflate, null)?

[android-developers] MMS != RTSP

[Ryan Gardner]

MMS is not the same as RTSP. RTSP is supported in android, MMS is
not.

I was looking into building an app that would play an MMS stream as
well. The easiest route that I can see would be using the ndk and
wrapping around libmms to do the legwork - but it's going to be way
more work than it would be if you had an rtsp:// stream

I'm not disputing that this might be a topic worthy of discussion, but I still

specific development questions, not something like this.  Try android-discuss

I have not read of any limitations in the DatePicker /

Can anybody shed some light on this? Perhaps some kind folks from

RE: [android-developers] How to update G1 firmware version to 2.0?

[Ryan Beesley]

I don't think we're waiting on Google.  Seems like the issue is more likely 
with HTC since we don't have an ADP release yet and the 2.0 source has been 
released.  Even once ADP devices have been updated, then the next step is with 
T-Moble.  It's not just a question of when, but also if.

If you need 2.0 for testing purposes, you can run hobbled versions built on 
AOSP, but they need updated drivers to function fully.

The word is the same as it was for 1.5 - it might come someday, it might not. 
1.5 and 1.6 came (with some hacks, like offloading text-to-speech to an

You can get some of the community builds that have bits and pieces of the new

If you just need to test your "individual" activities, here is some
code that you can insert in onCreate:

Locale locale = new Locale("fr");
Locale.setDefault(locale);
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
getBaseContext().getResources().updateConfiguration(config,
getBaseContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

This should activate your French resources

BUT! be warned that this code has stopped working for me since Android
2.0.
Seems others are also experiencing problems since the new SDK.
Note sure how to fix it yet (so I'd suggest compiling against Android
1.6, if possible)

RE: [android-developers] application name change

[Ryan Beesley]

I've seen other apps do this before, so I don't think it would be a problem... 
but if someone searches for your app by name that could be a problem.  If this 
is a paid app, the following won't be all that useful, but if not you could 
possibly leave a tombstone that points to your new app temporarily; in effect 
another app that does a market search for the new one. At least this way if 
someone is searching for the old app they will find a pointer to the new one.

This makes upgrade scenarios a little ugly, but it may help you retain users.

[android-developers] Help with getting a listener on my listview checkbox

[Ryan Bowman]

Hello,
I've been hitting a wall with how to get a listener on the checkbox in
my listview. Could someone give me an example of how to do it in this
case? When this screen is displayed it pulls the data from the
database and displays in in a listview. The checkbox status is set in
filldata based on values from the database. I want to be able to
select/deselect checkboxes in the list and write the changes back to
the database as the end result. SO I'm thinking the first step is to
get a listener on the checkboxes. At this point I can't even click on
the list, but can click the checkbox on and off.  Here are my xml
layouts and java code. Thanks, Ryan.

[android-developers] Geocoder backend service

[Ryan Loebs]

I was reading the documentation regarding the Geocoder class and the
description says:

"The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in
the core android framework."

I assume this means that the proprietary Google Maps API's provides
this backend service which routes through the Google Maps service.  I
searched around trying to find information on constructing my own
Geocoder backend service but have come up nil.  Is there any way to
produce a custom backend for the Geocoder class?

If it helps formulate a better response I'm trying to determine
locations based on the GPS coordinates to produce areas such as
streets, cities, parks, shopping centers, etc.  If something like this
already exists then I'd be more than happy to use it, but from what
I've seen searching around no such service exists for an Android
application.

[android-developers] Phone locked me out. Cannot access it at all.

[Ryan Riopel]

Today I was showing my HTC Dream to a friend, how the lock screen
works. I pressed the "forgot pattern" button, thinking I could go back
or just enter my credentials. Since that moment, I haven't been able
to access my phone at all. I can't go back to the pattern screen and I
can't log in. It just says Invalid username or password, no matter
what I do. My e-mail is ryanrio...@gmail.com and I've tried
ryanrio...@googlemail.com and just ryanriopel and none of it works. I
know the password is correct, but I can't login. I tried this on both
WiFi and Edge, and I've soft reset the phone several times now.

PLEASE HELP

[android-developers] In-App Billing

[Ryan Mattison]

Hello,

I'm currently looking at using the in-app billing process, and a few
things worry me.

On - http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/billing_overview.html

If your device is running Android 3.0, in-app billing requires version
5.0.12 (or higher) of the MyApps application. If your device is
running any other version of Android, in-app billing requires version
2.3.4 (or higher) of the Android Market application.

I'm running a relatively new Droid Incredible -- version of the Market
Place (2.2.6).  This doesn't appear to meet the requirements for In-
App billing.

On - 
https://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?answer=190860

Selecting the upgrade Android Market link, it leads me to Page Not
Available.


...

This looks like a huge issue for people that are attempting to use the
InApp billing process.  It says that my Market is supposed to be
automatically keeping itself up-to-date -
https://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=190860

My question being, what percent of Android Phones actually support the
InApp billing process?

Thanks,

Ryan

[android-developers] RemoteControlClient MetadataEditor and Bluetooth Metadata

[Ryan Scodari]

I am developing an android app for music playback,  I have implemented all 
the necessary components including Audio Focus management, Media Button 
Controls, as well as RemoteControlClient and MetadataEditor for the lock 
screen controls.  As I understand it, 
the RemoteControlClient.MetadataEditor should also provide Media Metadata 
to Bluetooth A2DP Audio Sink devices.  I have a car with a sound system 
that supports Bluetooth Media Metadata and it works with other apps on my 
phone, however it does not work with my app.  The lock screen controls 
function perfectly, and i have even tried using the 
RemoteControlClientCompat and RemoteControlHelper Classes from the Random 
Music Player Google Sample code.

Can anyone confirm that the RemoteControlClient.MetadataEditor is in fact 
how the Bluetooth Media Metadata is supposed to work?  If so, any ideas why 
the lock screen controls would function but the Bluetooth Media Metadata 
would not function?

thanks for the help.

[android-developers] Android PDK

[android-developers] Same permission defined in multiple applications

[Ryan Reeves]

I am developing two applications that will share functionality via their 
activities. I would like to only allow applications signed with the same 
certificate to start these activities.

My plan is to create a custom permission with protection level of signature 
and apply that permission to exported activities in both applications. 
Either application can be installed first, so I will define the permission 
in both application manifests. 

Are there problems with defining the same permission in multiple 
applications?  I plan to release both applications on the Android market. 

Thank you,
Ryan

Re: [android-developers] Read Heap from DDMS

Seems like I am getting the same thing on my Phonegap / JQM app. Mine is

it will stop allowing sounds. 

Did anyone find any clues on this particular heap hog?

[android-developers] My Keystore has a blank password

[Dylan Ryan]

Hello, When I first released my application I used the built in android 
developer tools to generate a keystore with a blank password.  I now want 
to update my application, but the newer tools will not let me use a blank 
password.  Is there anything I can do about this?  I have tried to export 
my cert into a new keystore, but it still wants me to enter a password for 
the certificate.  I also tried changing the password, but the keytool.exe 
wont let me change the password if the previous password is under 6 chars.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you,
Dylan

[android-developers] Code Gen the 45 boring minutes after writing a layout.

[Ryan Mattison]

I wrote a eclipse plugin that recursively parses a selected XML file
and keeps track of all the nodes with IDs, then adds variable
declarations to your clipboard, so you can paste them into your
class.  I've type findViewById too many times and I'm sure others have
as well, so I'm looking for places to share.

To get the full picture: http://youtu.be/2t0c-x7HFJw

If you would like to use it:

I feel like it is a tool that should have been integrated from the
beginning.

[android-developers] Re: How to maintain session in Android

[Ryan Mattison]

Hey Christopher,

There are a lot of ways.   Simplest is to extend application, set this
as your application in the manifest.   Then initialize a class with
getters setters to a
 hashlist.   Create an accessor in your application class.   When you
want to access this cast getApplication from an Activity or
Context.

Just typed this whole message in the Sense UI.   I want to throw this
phone at a  wall.

 buttonTwo =
(Button)twoButtonDialog.findViewById(R.id.twobuttondialog_button_two);
 message =
(TextView)twoButtonDialog.findViewById(R.id.twobuttondialog_title);

public void showTwoButtonDialog(String buttonOneMessage, String
buttonTwoMessage, String Message, boolean linkify,
final onTwoButtonDialogShow commands)
{
buttonOne.setText(buttonOneMessage);
buttonTwo.setText(buttonTwoMessage);
message.setText(Message);
twoButtonDialog.show();


buttonOne.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
if (commands != null) commands.onButtonOneClicked();
twoButtonDialog.dismiss();
}
});

buttonTwo.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()

public void onClick(View arg0)
{
if (commands != null) commands.onButtonTwoClicked();
twoButtonDialog.dismiss();
}
});

if(linkify)
{
Linkify.addLinks(message, Linkify.WEB_URLS);
}
}

public interface onTwoButtonDialogShow
{
void onButtonOneClicked();
void onButtonTwoClicked();
}


}
Now, to tie it all together whenever you want to use the popup you can
call the show snippet in the following snippet. This activity
TransparentDialogActivity was also setup to be transparent in the
Android Manifest, so it'll appear see through as the alarm activity
does.


public class TransparentDialogActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

Context _context;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

_context = this;


TwoButtonDialog tbd = new TwoButtonDialog(this);

tbd.showTwoButtonDialog("Off", "Snooze", "Take Alarm Action",
false, new onTwoButtonDialogShow(){

@Override
public void onButtonOneClicked() {
Toast.makeText(_context, "Off Button Pressed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}

    @Override
public void onButtonTwoClicked() {
Toast.makeText(_context, "Snooze Button Pressed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}});


}

Sorry Mark,

Not sure what is up with Blog Engine .NET .. when I link the URL it
works locally, but seems to break when I put it on forums.  If you
navigate to
http://www.ryangmattison.com  and go to the first post, Android Custom
Transparent Dialog Alarm Style it should have all the information Mark
needs.

[Ryan Mattison]

Hey John,

The only way to learn a lot of stuff is to browse the Android source
tree (http://source.android.com/source/index.html)  I think the tree
is down right now.  This source code should be easily adaptable into a
ListView, I actually have an implementation of it in a project
ListViewDialog, but it isn't on this PC.

To me, it feels exactly like CSS doesn't work the same on all phones &
99% of the time it feels like a hack job getting something working
correctly :P.

If you're early into Android development, my tool is clutch in saving
your wrists:  
http://www.ryangmattison.com/page/Lazy-Android-Code-Gen-Android-findViewById-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-eclipse.aspx

All you need to do is drag and drop the eclipse install button into
your environment.  It has a youtube video explaining what to do.  This
will save you a lot of trial and error time.

Thanks,

Ryan

[android-developers] Re: How to do a Thread that only executes itself one time? (but continues alive)

[Ryan Mattison]

I think saex is looking for a producer / consumer model using a
LinkedBlockingQueue with Weak references, so he can read the settings
into a queue when they're available, but his application may not need
them until slightly later, and needs to aggregate the results.  Weak
reference would allow this stack to grow and garbage collect itself
for memory as needed - keeping as much relevant sensor history as
possible?

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingQueue.html

This isn't a good start ...

new Thread()
{
   public void run()
   {
  sensorMan = (SensorManager)
getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
 
sensorMan.registerListener(SensorListener,
sensorMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
 
sensorMan.registerListener(SensorListener,
sensorMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
   }
}.start();

[android-developers] Re: Silence Alarms Based on Ringer Mode

[Ryan Mattison]

Hey Sycobob,

This varies a lot depending on weather you're using the 1.6, 2.1, or
2.2 SDK.  It is possible to use the 1.6 SDK and have successful
results on every phone, but it is very tedious.   If I could take it
all back, I'd wrote a different version for 1.6,2.1,2.2 and then
allowed anything 2.2+ fall into the 2.2 category when stability was
achieved.

I'd suggest looking into: 
http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/backward-compatibility.html
section - using a wrapper class.

This may only be true if you want to support 1.6 phones and beyond.  I
haven't approached testing 2.2 audio control build on a 1.6 phone, I'm
guessing it doesn't work 100%

[android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse

[Ryan Groten]

Hi there,

First off I'd better say I'm very new to this...So I have an Android 
project in Eclipse and I want to use a java object class from another 
project in it (this object class is shared between multiple projects). 
 From Eclipse I created a link to the .class file of the other project into 
the bin/classes/... folder in the android project.  Then I configured the 
other project in the java build path of my Android project.  I thought that 
was all there is to it, but seems like I'm missing something else.  I get 
"dalvik: Could not find class abc.example.common.DataBean', referenced from 
method..." error.
I'm pretty sure the link is setup properly.  

Is there a step I'm missing?

Thanks for your help,
Ryan

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse

[Ryan Groten]

Thanks for the response Jason.  Before I tried manual linking I did add the 
"Libraries" project from the Java Build Path -> Project tab.  After doing 
that the class imports properly and there are no errors when building my 
working project.  However when running the working project (and trying to 
call the "Library" class) I get a runtime exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.example.common.DataBean

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse

[Ryan Groten]

Maybe I should clarify what I'm trying to do here in case I'm going about 
it wrong...

I have a standard java server listening for connections from "clients"...in 
this case a client could be a straight java web client OR a android device 
client.  Because of this I have two separate projects (one for the java 
client, one for the android client).  Clients use sockets to pass java 
objects back and forth with the server...I want to be sending the SAME 
object to the server regardless of which client it comes from.  So I built 
an object class and attempted to link both client projects to it.  The java 
client works fine, but I can't figure out how to make the android client 
work with the object.  If I take that class and put it in the android 
project then the android client works...but the server then doesn't know 
what the object is and it dies.

Maybe I shouldn't be sending objects in the first place?

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse

[Ryan Groten]

Thanks Mark, this info (and the posts Jason sent) are very useful.

Originally I considered sending XML strings and building the objects on 
each end...however that still left me with the some issues:

1. Building an XML parser on each platform (unless I can link my android 
project to my already built java one somehow...doubtful)
2. Managing object classes in multiple locations

I think I will pursue this now though.

Now I know this is a dumb question but I'll ask anyways...but how do I put 
my object class into a separate JAR file?  I'm assuming there's no 
mechanism in Eclipse for this, I need to use ant?

Thanks Mark with your help I managed to get it running with an 
exported/imported jar.  Works like a charm!

[android-developers] Google Nexus loses battery while powered off

[Ryan Schwartz]

Hello,

In the past few weeks, and especially since the most recent system
update, I've had problems with my phone's battery. It will lose nearly
all of its charge when I power it off at night. Last night, I powered
it off at 90% charged and this morning when I turned it on, it was at
30%. This is now a typical problem, occurring every night.

Any thoughts to what might be causing this? Is there a process that
keeps running that I need to turn off? Or is possible that it is just
an issue with the battery?

[android-developers] Unlocking Bootloader for CDMA Xperia Play

[Ryan A]

Hello, Im sure you have been asked this question many times already
but like a lot of other Verizon CDMA Xperia Play owners, I am checking
the web, forums, and other places each day in hopes to finally see an
unlock for our bootloaders so root can be acheived. I am on my 3rd
Xperia Play and am having a very hard time enjoying this phone. My
first 2 went defective with different issues after a week or so. While
the current "Play" that I am using doesnt have any hardware issues
like the others, the software glitches, spotty wifi, and horrible lag
makes it such a dissapointment and I truly see so much potential.
Without being able to unlock bootloader soon I see no reason to keep
this phone much longer. Im not alone. Please tell me I can look
forward to a solution soon?? Thanks, Ryan

Re: [android-developers] displaying internal PDF assets

[Ryan Bastic]

How can I reference these assets then using a file:// or similar syntax, so
that when starting them as an intent it will safely expose it to a PDF
viewer already installed on the device?

For instance, let's assume that I've got a Moto Droid 1 with Quickoffice
preinstalled. I'm using code like:

Uri path = Uri.parse("... what goes here???");

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");


this.ctx.startActivity(intent);

It continuously has problems loading the file, claiming the file does not
exist.

[android-developers] using the to hide DLC

[Ryan Routon]

Hey Guys,

1.  Quick question.  Our company is exploring different ways to
implement DLC and I see that there are basically two ways, using the
in app purchase model with our own server pushing the "content" as is
described here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/billing_overview.html

2.  Or having the DLC offered as a separate app sold in the
marketplace that we then use from our main app.

My question is this,  if we pick the second option can we use the
 filter to prevent the user from seeing the add-ons
until they have the "main app" which would be the shared library we
use to filter against?  Are there any examples out there of others
implementing DLC in their apps?

thanks for any insight you might be able to offer,
Ryan

[android-developers] Re: using the to hide DLC

[Ryan Routon]

Also, if anyone has a better solution for DLC your feedback would be
appreciated =).  This is a major issue for us since our main app is
more or less just a framework for adding additional content and games.

Re: [android-developers] using the to hide DLC

[Ryan Routon]

Thank you Mark, that is what I was worried about...

Does anyone know of any way to hide the downloadable content apps until the
main app is installed?  Some form of app dependency is what we were hoping
for, but it looks like there might be no way of actually implementing this
using filters.  We are worried that the user will try to get the
downloadable content before they have the Engine app adding to confusion
down the line.  Any ideas?

Kristopher, I found this other thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/1b78381b76bec33a/3b004c7ed2c2577a?lnk=gst&q=dlc#3b004c7ed2c2577a

where Dianne Hackborn said to "Just look for the other package by name with
the package manager.  Ensure
its cert is the one you expect to it can't be spoofed.  If you want it to
cary data about what features you are enabling or whatever, you can use
 tags under the application to supply whatever you want. "
