[android-developers] Re: How to select/install a locale other than English ?
I don't want to test individual activities.
I know how to for the choice of the language using something similar
to the code you post.
However, I don't want to create an option "Language" in the
configuration of my application, I just want to use the setting of the
mobile.
So, does someone know how to install a new language (here french) on
Android Dev Phone 1 ?

[android-developers] [Android Dev Phone 1] How to select/install a locale other than English ?
My application has resources files in English and French and works on Android 1.5 and >. Inside the emulator, in Settings > Locale & Text > Select Locale, I can choose English or French. This updates the language of my application. However, when I use the Android Dev Phone 1, only English is available in the "Select Locale" screen... Is it possible to install french locale on Android Dev Phone 1 ? If so, how can I do this ?

[android-developers] [Android Manifest] How to set same XML attributes to all activities ?
In my application, I don't want the activity to restart when user changes his mobile's orientation or when he opens his physical keyboard. So, I have to assign the following XML attribute to all my activities in the manifest file : android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" I have a dozen of activities. So, my question is : Is it possible to assign the same XML attribute value to all activities ? Or should I copy the attribute in all the tags of the manifest ? Thanks ! PS : I try to set the attribute value in the tag but it doesn't work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: How to release Drawable object from memory ?
I try this solution but it did not work anymore, even if I do "System.gc()" to call the garbage collector after setting to null the variable (calling this method does not guarantee that the garbage collector will actually be run). However, I manage to solve my problem resizing the image. First I get the image size using : BitmapFactory.decodeStream(InputStream is, Rect outPadding, BitmapFactory.Options opts) and setting opts.inJustDecodeBounds to true (to save memory). Image size is then got with opts.outHeight and opts.outWidth. Then, I calculate and set opts.inSampleSize value judging from the maximum image size I want. Finally, I call again BitmapFactory.decodeStream(InputStream is, Rect outPadding, BitmapFactory.Options opts) and get the resized image.

[android-developers] Re: How to remove sms notifications in status bar
I have the same problem problem of you Muhammad. I manage to detect SMS receive using a BroadcastReceiver and then delete the specified SMS in inbox. However, status bar notification always remains. I think it is not possible to remove this notification because it's sent by the Messaging application. We can avoid SMS receive notification by unchecking the "Notifications" checkbox in the Messaging application settings. However, it's not a good solution because all user won't unckeck it. I would be surprised if we can remove status bar notification of an other application because it could be used by a malware. What do you think ?

[android-developers] Re: [Quit application correctly] How to execute code before exiting application ?
Thanks Dianne. Ok, I could implement something like this : - implement a counter inits to 0 when the thread is started - when an Activity starts (in method onStart() ), increment the counter - when an Activity stops (in method onStop() ), decrease the counter - when the counter equals 0, stop the thread However, I think a problem can occurs when the system need resource and kills the activity in the onPause() method. So the onStop() method of the activity is not called => the counter is not decreased => the Thread will not be stopped ! Q4 : Is it possible to handle this situation, when system kills the activity ? Q5 : Can you confirm me that onStop() and onDestroy() activity's methods are not called when the system kills the activity in the onPause() method ?

[android-developers] [Quit application correctly] How to execute code before exiting application ?
I would like to know how to execute code before exiting application. My application is composed of several activities. When the user starts the application (from the launcher menu or from a notification in the status bar), he goes in an InitActivity where I process some initializations. From user experience, application always restarts. One of these initializations is to init a network manager and start a thread that periodically sends a network request to notify a server that application is active. I need to process some end operations, like stopping this thread when user quits application, for example by pressing the HOME key or BACK key when he's in the root activity. However, when the user press the HOME key, application is still running in background. Here are my questions : Q1 : is it possible to execute code when exiting application (I see the onTerminate() method of the class Application but it seems not to be always called) ? Q2 : Is it possible to force application exit (activity method finish () only destroy the current activity, not the application) ? Q3 : Is it possible to handle HOME key press (onKeyDown() is not called when this button is pushed) ?

[android-developers] TDD
I've been looking at various tools and reading various articles around TDD on the Android platform. A common thread seems to be that the testing framework is very poorly documented - and indeed that seems to be the case. From what I can see, standard JUNIT testing (not using activities) is very easy to set up. However usage of test stories to actually test activities (user input), databases etc, seems very limited. Has anyone had any success with this that they would care to share? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
