[android-developers] Acting on broadcast intent when switching apps
I have an button in an activity, that calls an IntentService and shows a ProgressBar. After it is done downloading large files, it then creates a notification and broadcasts an intent with a String message stating 3 files downloaded. or Unable to connect to server. The activity registers a receiver in onResume and unregisters it in onPause. In the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive it displays a DialogFragment with a message from the intent. It also hides the notification and hides the ProgressBar. If the app is not in the foreground, and you click on the notification, it triggers the activity's onNewIntent. It then displays a DialogFragment with a message from the intent. It also hides the ProgressBar. If the app is not in the foreground however, and you use the App Switcher to return to the app, the notification does not clear and the DialogFragment never shows. The ProgressBar is also still visible. Is there a way within the Android framework to handle the last situation? I'm thinking of a hack by not actually bothering with the message in the intent, and storing it in SharedPreferences, but is there another way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: contextual action mode vs. floating menu
I would go with a overflow menu icon, or the spinner icon (without any text). So the single-click is on a LinearLayout, the fake spinner icon is an ImageButton, and there are checkboxes which activate the contextual action mode. There would be no long-click. On Monday, October 1, 2012 4:47:07 PM UTC+8, Benoît Bouré wrote: Hi, According to this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#context-menu, Contextual Action Mode is preferred when working on Honeycomb or higher. This is actually very useful when you can apply the same kind of action to several items at a time (eg: delete). But some actions actually only make sense on one item at a time (eg: Edit). If you have only one of these actions, well, you can simply use the single click for it. So: One click = edit Select multiple items = action mode with actions that apply to many items An example of that is the Gmail app: one click = read the email and selecting many items, you can mark them as read, delete them, etc. OK, but what if you have multiple actions that can only a apply to one item at a time? Imagine the following situation. You have a list of profiles.You can do the following actions on the profiles: - delete - export (save in a file) - share These actions could be applied to many items at a time, so you place them in the action mode. But other actions could be: - edit - apply You can only edit or apply one profile at a time. So, in that case, is it OK to continue using floating menus like this: One single click or long-click opens a floating menu with available options on that particular item alone (edit, apply, delete, export, share). Selecting multiple items activates the action mode with actions that apply to all the selected items (delete, export, share) Or maybe is it better to keep using action mode only? When one item is selected, all actions are available (edit, apply, delete, export, share) When more than one item are selected, the actions edit and apply are disabled/removed from the action bar. Both methods can work of course and it could be up to the developer to choose but what would be best practice?

[android-developers] Re: google mail
You should use their recommended way.
That way you just call a findViewById, and if it returns null, you know
it's the phone layout.
Plus it gets to be a headache when you need to have a landscape layout and
multiple different sizes and resolutions!

according to
http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2011/07/new-tools-for-managing-screen-sizes.html
Android will pick the resource that is closest to the device’s screen

list
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2avCDWTrdBc/T9-sv0TTnXI/BEw/Nup54Y16B7Y/s1600/unnamed.png

folder...
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ynOv3lsqGLM/T9-ssnDYVRI/BEo/xqV9tcqPmY4/s1600/unnamed.jpg
this layout has more than 2 listactivity, which means the java coding also
different...
so my question is, if we have to check in main activity, whether the
device is tablet or a phone, what's the point then using different
res/layout folder like res/layout-small, res/layout-large,
res/layout-xlarge, we can just make the different file in the same folder
and using coding like this
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate();
Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration();
if (config.smallestScreenWidthDp = 600) {
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity_tablet);
*/*hier coding for different layout for tablet*/*
} else {
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
*/*here coding for phone's layout*/* }
}
please correct me, if i misunderstanding about this... and also... sorry
about my english...

Re: [android-developers] Re: NullPointerException in onRestoreInstanceState
I cannot divulge the source code as it is for work - however I've done
some renaming and stripped it down. However, after stripping it down to
just the parts which I suspect cause the bug, and enabling the line that
causes the bug, the bug doesn't happen anymore!
So this source code is just to give a clue to anyone else who
experiences this, as to where to look. This code doesn't actually trigger
the bug.
onCreate calls showSingleUse, which spawns a SingleUseFragment, which
calls onSingleUse in the activity (because it implements an interface
called OnFragmentUtilityListener). onSingleUse then calls an AsyncTask
which does a findViewById in its onPreExecute.
Disabling the findViewById, and moving it to onCreate, solves the
problem.

[android-developers] Re: [Android LVL] Sporadic false negatives on client devices
I get this on my own app, also having LVL. Quite embarrassing to try to demonstrate the app to a friend and then it occasionally says that my copy is not licensed - I have purchased it (since it was published using a different account.) On Monday, May 7, 2012 9:07:23 PM UTC+8, Florin wrote: Hello, I have an Android developer account and a couple of paid apps published on the Market since a while now. I have decided to use Android LVL for copy protection from the start on all of my apps, I found it pretty straightforward to use so I told myself why not? extra security is better than no security, right? However, after almost one year since my apps have been out in the wild, I keep getting from time to time unsatisfied customers which after purchasing one app constantly get NOT_LICENSED replies from Android licensing servers. And I'm not talking only about occasional NOT_LICENSED caused either by lack of network coverage etc. but about clients which try for days and days(yes, there are clients like this, and they are right, since they paid for their apps!) and still get NOT_LICENSED. Now, here goes my questions: 1) For Android dev and apps publishers out there: have you noticed any wave of false negatives complaints from your clients lately? The above- mentioned symptom occurs in my case since the beginning, but since 2 weeks now it happens at a much higher frequency. 2) For any Google representative who might see this: are there any kind of License Validation statistics on the Android Licensing server side? Like for instance validation attempts per application, with timestamp and Android Market client version and client ID(not email for security reasons but something)? And with some extra message giving a reason for NOT_LICENSED?(apart the obvious didn't buy reason, could there be others?) I think this should be implemented at LVL level and not at app level due to permissions requirement(an app implementing statistics would definitely require network access which for some apps does not justify). So, can we have access to these statistics? If not now, maybe sometimes in the future? Florin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Custom UI rotating control
I've written something like this before - you want a few icons arranged in a circle, and each icon is clickable? I created a custom layout, extending the ViewGroup, overriding onMeasure and onLayout. In the Activity I made a listener that implements View.OnTouchListener. It checks if the area which you've touched is within the 'donut' which the icons circle around. I assume you want to click on the icon, if you touch the icon and have not moved more than 10 pixels (Pythagoras distance) when you detect MotionEvent.ACTION_UP. However I have not resumed work on this and it is closed source since it was developed for my employer. I'm not sure how you'd continue animating it when you fling it.

This means that it's missing an expected 160 pixels (80dp) on its short edge. If your layouts are (correctly) assuming this space exists, something may go wrong when it comes time to draw. I got around this by having a Very Special layout for the Note. You can target pixels sizes in your resource specifiers like this: layout- large-port-xhdpi-1280x800. Then in your layouts just do what you need to do without the extra space. I took it on good authority that it's a Bad Idea to target dimensions size in resource specifiers, but it's what I had to do to make it work without redesigning a very important screen in my app. Please don't email me for support!

My app has a normal display size which works great for small/normal , I also have a large display layout that has been working great for 7-10inch tablets like Xoom and Amazon Kindle Fire. However this Galaxy Note has thrown a spanner in the mix. It is displaying itself as a Large , but my display does not fit on the screen. The normal layout looks fine on it. Any ideas how I can make that device use the normal display ? You can't. You need to create a -large set of resources that work well on the Galaxy Note and Kindle Fire. The XOOM can use -xlarge resources, if the revised -large ones do not work well on a 10 screen. at the moment I am tempted to just exclude it from compatible devices - but if there is an elegant workaround it would be better ! Bear in mind that your issue is not strictly one tied to the Galaxy Note.

[android-developers] Re: tabs onbackPressed
alert, I am guessing, is static, and when you rotate the device,
your activity is destroyed, but alert is kept.
You'll probably want to do something like alert.dismiss() in your
onDestroy. Then you need to remember to start it up again in onCreate.
Though it would be highly recommended to move towards Fragments (with
the support library) and use DialogFragments instead - higher learning
curve, but a lot less headache.

[android-developers] Android Market new app not appearing
Yeah I've submitted the forms on Android Developer Console. Just wondering if anybody else is having this problem where you upload a new app and it just doesn't show up - can't find it in the web market, or on any device. In case you're wondering, the app is: Package Name: com.glaringnotebook.digitechpatchviewer App Name: DigiTech RP255 Patch Viewer All filters are off - heck I don't even require a touchscreen!

If you're loading a very large bitmap and you want to show it on a phone with small heap space e.g. 16MB or 24MB, you may want to change the bitmap to 16 bit, RGB_565. Then you'll realize that gradients look stair-stepped. So when you enable dithering, it breaks the obvious stair-steps and makes it look like a smoother gradient.

[android-developers] Re: Android Honeycomb CheckBox against white background cannot be seen
Ah, it was this! We were using ActionBarSherlock.
public class SettingsActivity extends FragmentActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);
I then used Theme_Sherlock_Light and the checkbox appeared correctly.
Though now the ActionBar is white... which looks odd since we were
used to a black-bar ActionBar.
Would there be a way to separately theme the ActionBar or checkbox? I
can't get at git.kernel.org and even if I could, Honeycomb source
isn't out.

The app is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.measat.astro.epg The app is set to support small-xlarge so that shouldn't be a problem; the app minSDK is 3 with no maxSDK set so it's API 3-12+; the app requires INTERNET but it appears on WiFi-only devices fine; the app asks for a touchscreen but I'll just assume the user isn't trying on a Google TV.

screenshot, but will probably serve the purpose? I'll experiment with this
and if I have good results will post back.
Mark Murphy, you said this is impossible, did you mean in the sense of the
way DDMS grabs the full-monty screenshot?
I do hope that Android Handset/Tablet manufacturers catch on and implement
hardware screen capturing options, a la iOS -- I don't believe screenshots
are programmatically possible there either, for the same reasons, but the
user can capture one at any time with a combination of hardware buttons. It
will prevent us from having to come up with adhoc solutions like this, and
allow the screenshot process to be user driven, and thus alleviating
security concerns. I believe I read that either Samsung or Motorola may do
this in future handsets?

[android-developers] Re: Loading Bitmaps in native heap
I had the same problem when loading as ARGB_565. Use inDither to get rid of very obvious stair-stepping. I would say I could spot a 16-bit image, especially with a lot of reds, on a less red screen (Xoom and Acer Iconia Tab A500) while the Galaxy Tab 7 is a whole splotch of red. However with inDither on gets a bit hard to tell!

It makes you program quite carefully when using the left over 6Mbyte of memory, but it's possible. On tablets, i think that the limit has been raised to a 48MByte heap. Since the 1st gen android phones never had cameras with more than 5MPixel and 2nd gen android phones never had cameras with more than 8MPixel, it worked out for my app. But if images are side-loaded (e.g. from a sd-card or downloaded from the web), which could be larger than 5 or 9 MPixel, then my app would fail to handle these. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Dialog with no Activity?
It plainly looks like it loads an activity that, seeing the intent passed, loads the dialog or possibly another activity with a translucent theme.

[android-developers] Re: Advanced Memory Leak, What could be the cause/How to find it ?
Figure out how to get OOME quickly (usually rotating and going in and out if activities). Comment EVERYTHING out. Test that there is zero gain. Get a hprof dump when app is freshly loaded, do the rotate and in and out test, get another dump, compare the histograms (right most icon in MAT). You may find some extra objects. Click Histogram and search for the object. Right-click and expand the menus - the one you need to look for is something like ignore all phantom/soft/weak references (can't remember exact name since not at workstation). You may see loads of orphaned objects e.g. Matrix so you'd do m.reset() instead of m = new Matrix() if you want to reuse it. Once you have attained zero gain, slowly uncomment blocks of code until you find your leaks.

Comment everything out. Make a routine where you rotate and go in and out of the activity. Start activity fresh, do hprof dump, do the routine, get another dump. Click Histogram and click the right most icon to compare to the fresh dump. You may spot some extra objects. Click Histogram again and search for the extra objects. Right-click and look for the ignore phantom/weak/soft references (not at computer, don't remember exact menu). You may find orphaned objects e.g. Matrix as a result of doing m = new Matrix() when you can reuse with m.reset(). Aim for zero gain before uncommenting blocks of code to find the leak(s).

[android-developers] Re: Advanced Memory Leak, What could be the cause/How to find it ?
(Apologies for double-post... Xoom Honeycomb browser crashed twice upon posting!) Also an edit to my previous post: Click Histogram again and search for the extra objects. Right-click and click Merge Shortest Path to GC Roots and look for the exclude all phantom/weak/soft etc. references. You'll want to do the same for the 'fresh' Histogram and see who is keeping your objects alive. The target is to make the total (at the bottom) equal on both the fresh and 'after-routine' Histogram. I have only used this on Android 2.2 and 3.0. It is good to test this on as many versions as you have access to, as you may find that certain builds may leak more objects than others (the Galaxy Tab stock 2.2 seems to leak a bit compared to CyanogenMod 7.0.0 on 2.3). Also, while 3.0 has the very helpful ability to see that your Bitmaps are leaking as byte[] objects, you can already see if your code is leaking with 2.2. A leak doesn't have to have a large footprint especially in 2.2 where a harmless-looking AsyncTask may leak Bitmaps but show minimal memory use.

[android-developers] Re: Activity lifecycle: invoking finish
If you've noticed, cleaning stuff up let's say clearing a bitmap or nulling an image before you call another activity will result in a temporary blanking out. So onDestroy has to happen after the next activity is fully drawn. If you use 14mb in Activity A and 14mb in Activity B on a 16mb heap device you will run out of memory. I use android:process in the manifest to get around this. On May 11, 11:12 pm, Vikram vikram.bodiche...@gmail.com wrote: This seems to be the order.

[android-developers] Re: onRestart from Home button or from back button
Have Activity B call Activity C using startActivityOnResult(intent, requestCode), override Activity C's onBackPressed to pass a kill flag via intent and setResult. In Activity B override onActivityResult and see if the kill flag is there and the request code matches then call finish(). So pressing back in C will go to A.

[android-developers] Re: Honeycomb Bitmap.createBitmap
I found a similiar problem going from the Samsung Galaxy Tab on 2.2 with 48MB heap to a Motorola Xoom on 3.0.1 with 48MB heap. You may notice that previously if you intentionally made an OutOfMemoryError, Honeycomb seems to try to allocate twice as much RAM. As it turns out, Honeycomb defaults to 32 bit bitmaps, so you might want to override it to 16-bit like: BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options(); if (compressColor) o2.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565; o2.inPurgeable = true; o2.inInputShareable = true; o2.inSampleSize = (int) scale; bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null, o2); The app I am building also uses a big 1280x800 background drawable defined in XML - I wonder if this is also eating my heap space, and if so, whether it would be better if I loaded it as a 16-bit Bitmap and set the background in code! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
