Hi, Is there any way to get list of every downloads? It seems that DownloadManager returns downloads only for my app but I would like to get Market or Browser downloads too.

[android-developers] Re: App closed but notification is visible
Ok, so it is normal that when the system stops my app the notification is still visible but when I force close it then it disappears. Then my only problem is that my app isn't notified anymore about battery events. Maybe what I am doing is wrong: I register broadcast receivers in the onCreate method of my Application. And my app receive these events well for a long time, until my application stops somewhere. I don't know how to solve this problem: the updating (receiving event) should not be stopped until the user force closes my app. Is it not good to register receivers in the onCreate of my Application class? Should I use a service for it? A service is mandatory to receive these event always?

[android-developers] Re: RemoteViews + padding
Hi, Sorry, I mean I would like to change it runtime. It would be fine if my users could customize my widgets by changing paddings. So when I update my widges I would like to call remoteViews.setInt(viewId, setPadding, getIntPreference(padding)); or remoteViews.setViewPadding(viewId, getIntPreference(padding)); Can it be done somehow?

[android-developers] App closed but notification is visible
Hi, My application creates an ongoing notification that displays battery state and updates it when battery event occurs. Very rarely I notice that this notification doesn't change, doesn't display the correct value. When this happens my application isn't running but the notification is visible. This is very weird because when I force stop my app then the notification disappears too. I don't use any task killer apps so I think the system killed my app. Do you know how can it happen that my app is not running but the notification is visible and how to solve this problem?

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget Problems
Hi,
It doesn't matter what you write in the updatePeriodMillis property if
the value is too small because:
Updates requested with updatePeriodMillis will not be delivered more
than once every 30 minutes.
You should use alarms to update your widget.

Hi,
I'm working in a simple widget example but I cannot make it work.
The Idea is to have a widget that updates it text with the current time
every 30 seconds.
The problem is that I only receive the onUpdate just when the widget is
created.
I'm using Android 2.2.
here is the update method:
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Log.d(TAG, new Date().toLocaleString());
for (int widgetId : appWidgetIds) {
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.infoclima_widget);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.text_last_update, new
Date().toLocaleString());
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widgetId, views);
}
}
and here is the provider_info.xml:
appwidget-provider
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:minWidth=150dp
android:minHeight=150dp
android:updatePeriodMillis=3
android:initialLayout=@layout/infoclima_widget
/appwidget-provider
any on could help me?

Chiara

[android-developers] External images in the notification area.
Hi, I have a problem I don't understand. In my app I try to create a notification with a RemoteViews to display some gui there. The layout contains an ImageView and I try to set an image via Uri, an image from the external storage. It works well on some devices with Android 2.3 and works well on my Xoom too with 3.2. But it doesn't work on other devices, doesn't work on my Desire with 2.3 too. It doesn't display the image. The same RemoteViews is ok when I use it to display appwidget. The image is displayed then. Do you know why it can't display the image and how to solve it? Thanks, Tamás -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Invalid column contact_id
Hi,
I try to pick a contact number by:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
And I try to get a contact from the result by:
Uri contactData = intent.getData();
ContentResolver cr = getContext().getContentResolver();
Cursor c = cr.query(uri, new String[] { Data.CONTACT_ID,
Data.LOOKUP_KEY, Phone.NUMBER }, null, null, null);
And in some devices or for some contacts it throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column
contact_id
The URI is for example:
content://com.android.contacts/contacts/lookup/812i70704be008e61b18/694
Is it possible that CONTACT_ID column doesn't exist?
Thanks, Tamás

It returns only one row for a selected phone number. The URI contains
the condition after the lookup key.
This URI is returned by the phone number selection activity.

[android-developers] Re: How to check telephony is available
I am not sure the PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEPHONY will return false as you described. I'm sure. Users wrote me and I asked them to check it. This feature is missing in their devices. One of the users has HTC EVO 4G, the other has HTC Sprint Hero devices. But if what you described is correct, why dont you check the IMSI or the phone number? Maybe it is the solution, I don't know. That is why I wrote my post. In a Xoom for example, if I try to get TelephonyManager then I got null or exception or I got the instance? You know I put the FEATURE_TELEPHONY check to my app to work well on tablets too. I want telephony-specific features disabled on that devices. After this update I got the emails that these options are disabled in their phones. Maybe it is good to know for everybody that it isn't the reliable solution. T.

[android-developers] Re: Appwidget + AsyncTask + Handler
It works well if it is the main thread. In all my version I uses this
way.
There isn't long-running work when I update my widget but sometime
(very very rarely)
I got ANR. For example when I try to get application label from
PackageManager.
I thought that I can avoid these ANRs with AsyncTask but it seems it
cause other problems.
Thank you for your answer, I won't use AsyncTask then.

- If the bluetooth state changes the appwidget will be updated
- If I click on the appwidget than I toggle bluetooth state
If I click on the toggle:
- an IntentService will be executed
- it creates a Handler and displays a toast by Handler.post() with the

- I change bluetooth state
- bluetooth state changes so my broadcast receiver tries to update
appwidget

[android-developers] Shortcut
Hi,
In my app there is a possibility to add a shortcut to my widget.
It works well for almost every shortcut type.
But doesn't work well for shortcuts of a specific application. When I
add this
shortcut to my home screen by the launcher and click on it the
following intent will be
executed:
04-05 20:59:39.384: INFO/ActivityManager(184): Starting: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.VIEW flg=0x1000
cmp=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid/.GPhotoMain bnds=[125,553][235,671]
(has extras) } from pid 12552
It works as expected. But when I create this shortcut from my app and
I click on its icon, then
04-05 20:59:05.844: INFO/ActivityManager(184): Starting: Intent
{ flg=0x1000 cmp=vStudio.Android.GPhotoPaid/.GPhotoMain
bnds=[133,408][201,456] (has extras) } from pid -1
The difference is the VIEW action. When I add the VIEW action manually
to this intent,
then this shortcut works well too, but I cannot do that of course
because it makes
other type of shortcuts wrong.
I have looked throught the Launcher source code how it handles
shortcut intents but
it doesn't do anything with it, just adds a FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to
it.
Can anybody help me what cause this difference?
Thanks,
Tamás

it doesn't do anything with it, just adds a FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to
it.
Can anybody help me what cause this difference?
Thanks,
Tamás

[android-developers] Activity lifecycle
Hi, Maybe an easy question. When activity A launches activity B then it is possible that A destroyes before the user navigates back from B? So A will be recreated and don't remain object state?

[android-developers] Re: BadParcelableException
Kostya: thank you, your suggestions solved my problem But I think when I call data.getSerializableExtra(SETTINGS) and I'm sure that there is no SETTINGS extra in data intent I shouldn't get ClassNotFoundException.

Hi, My activity starts other activities to get a result from them: - starts an activity of mine which returns a Serializable object with the intent or - starts an activity with ACTION_PICK to pick a contact In my onActivityResult method I check if it is the first case or not by calling Settings settings = (Settings)data.getSerializableExtra(SETTINGS); I got the following exceptions: Caused by: android.os.BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling: com.motorola.blur.provider.contacts.IdentityModel at android.os.Parcel.readParcelable(Parcel.java:1883) at android.os.Parcel.readParcelableArray(Parcel.java:1922) at android.os.Parcel.readValue(Parcel.java:1825) at android.os.Parcel.readMapInternal(Parcel.java:2008) at android.os.Bundle.unparcel(Bundle.java:208) at android.os.Bundle.getSerializable(Bundle.java:1189) at android.content.Intent.getSerializableExtra(Intent.java: 3469) ...

I know how permissions work. I'm thinking about creating two apk-s with different manifest, different required permissions. I don't want the source code to be changed.

I don't know what would be a good solution for this problem. The problem is that half of the users would like the new features that required personal permissions (read sms, get accounts, ...) and the other half of the users would uninstall or not to update the app because they afraid for their personal data. Maybe it is a bad solution to create two versions with different permissions. Do you know how to solute this problem? I'm thinking of an other solution. I create a new addon apk with these permissions. This is a content provider which provides the required data. The user can make a decision if he installs this app or not.

MYPATH and FILENAME are variables and they looks good. For example:
widgets for MYPATH and 4x1_Standart for FILENAME
My code is the following:
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
File folder = new
File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
folderName);
if (!folder.exists()) {
folder.mkdirs();
}
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file); // I get
this
exception here
}
What is wrong? Should I check something else?
It works well on my phone, so I don't know why these errors occur.
Thanks,
Tamás

Check the result of mkdirs.
Also, widgets is a terrible name for a folder to place at the root of the
user's SD card. There are official ways of creating folders on the SD card
for later versions of Android. At the very least, name it something that
easily identifies it with your app.

[android-developers] Check permissions
Hi, What is the correct way to check if app has a permission, for example android.permission.READ_SMS. I would like to create different versions of my app with the same code but different manifest xml with different permissions. So I would like to check runtime if this version has a permission or not.

[android-developers] appwidget icon set
Hi, There are a lot of icons in my appwidget. I would like a feature that a user can choose widget icon set in different styles. I don't want to store every icon set in the apk, only the default, because the apk would grow very large, and it is an appwidget so can't install on sd. Downloading to SD is a good idea? What if sd is unmounted? It wouldn't be good if the appwidget couldn't update itself. I think it is impossible to change the icons in apk at runtime. How can I implement this feature?

Hi,
I have a question about airplane mode broadcast intent.
The documentation says that the state extra value is a boolean.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED
In the source of android apps, the PhoneApp reads it as integer:
if (action.equals(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED)) {
boolean enabled = System.getInt(getContentResolver(),
System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0) == 0;
...
}
In some device (custom rom) there is an error if they try to read a
boolean:

It should be an integer or a boolean? Where is the mistake?

[android-developers] App launch widget
Hi,
I created an application launcher widget, which displays the icon of
the selected activity and launch it when you click on it.
The only problem with it, that in my phone there is only one
application (Compass), which icon cannot be displayed. In an
other phone it can be displayed, but Facebook icon can't. Facebook
icon is ok in my phone. I tested this widget in the emulator
and most of the activity icons can be displayed, but it can't display
the Calculator icon (in two test device). But it can display
the Calculator icon in my third test device. It is very mysterious.
The widget displays icons this way:
ComponentName name = new ComponentName(packageName,
activityName);
Drawable applicationIcon =
packageManager.getActivityIcon(name);
if (applicationIcon != null applicationIcon
instanceof
BitmapDrawable) {
views.setImageViewBitmap(imageViewId,
((BitmapDrawable)applicationIcon).getBitmap());
} else {
views.setImageViewResource(imageViewId,
android.R.drawable.sym_def_app_icon);
}
The packageName and activityName values must be good, because it can
launch the selected application.
I tried to debug what happens but I couldn't find any error.
Application icon is not null, it is a BitmapDrawable, and
it has a 48*48 size. Everything looks good, but nothing is displayed.

[android-developers] Alarm in sleep mode
Hi,
In an appwidget I declare a repeating alarm to refresh a widget in
every 10 seconds:
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
Intent update = new Intent(REFRESH);
PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0,
update, 0);
AlarmManager alarms =
(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarms.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC,
System.currentTimeMillis(), 1, intent);
startUpdateService(context, appWidgetIds);
}
protected static int refresh = 0;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
super.onReceive(context, intent);
if (REFRESH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
refresh++;
AppWidgetManager mgr =
AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
ComponentName provider = new
ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), getClass().getName());
int[] appWidgetIds = mgr.getAppWidgetIds(provider);
startUpdateService(context, appWidgetIds);
}
}
I use AlarmManager.RTC, because I don't want my widgets to be updated
in sleep mode.
At every update I increase the refresh variable which counts the
number of updates. And I display this value in the widget.
The phone go sleep mode, and after a while when I use my phone again I
realize that the widget was updated
in every 10 seconds (because the variable increased in every 10
seconds).
What should I do to prevent my widgets be updated in sleep mode?
Can I detect somehow that the screen is off, or a phone is in sleep
mode? Or the phone wasn't in sleep mode? Why?
Thank you,
T.

[android-developers] PhoneStateListener in widget
Hi, PhoneStateListener works well in an activity but how can I use it in an appwidget? I would like to display signal strength information, but there is no way to get this value (if I'm right), only with using PhoneStateListener. But I don't know how to use it in a widget.

[android-developers] Re: Alarm in sleep mode
Hmm, so there is no possibility to display real-time information in a widget? For example a compass widget? What is an acceptable refresh rate? And the main question, why does the alarmmanager send alarms in sleep mode when I use RTC instead of RTC_WAKEUP?
