[android-developers] Android v6.0.1 SMS directory location

[Ben Bartolomucci]

Android v6.0.1 SMS directory location

Can someone copy & paste the exact path? What is the name of the folder?

Is the file structure defined by Google? Samsung? or AT&T? I own Samsung 
Galaxy S7

Not sure how soon this question will be answered or when I'll check back on 
this forum

Goal: I just want to backup search SMS chat logs for specific data like you 
can with wild card searches in Windows OS

Please drop an Email: the.italian.paradox@gmail

[android-developers] How do you guys deal with automated strikes against your developer account?

[Ben McNelly]

As you can see below, my app was rejected and my appeal was rejected 
because it contained a screenshot from a game (its a new/tips/updates app 
about gaming)


That   A)  is clearly fair use if a human took two seconds to look at it 
and in context of the app

AndB)  Isn't even from Ubisoft, the game developer, its from ANOTHER 
third party wiki/news site


This has got to be a bot right? How do you guys deal with this, I worked 
months on this app, the name, logo, assets are lovingly hand crafted by me, 
every line of code, and yet some of the test content I put in (was planning 
on doing an alpha, then beta) gets it banned and there is NOTHING I can do?


What are my options!?

[android-developers] APK Upload API giving 500's

[ben]

I'm using a python script to try to upload to our app in the Play Store. 
 The script I based my code on can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/mix3d/665f4ab329b4482297a2f425ebba402c

I've created External release builds and tried to upload with the following 
command:
./upload_apk_to_play.py -p com.picmonkey.picmonkey -a 
./Path/To/App-arm7External-release.apk -s ./Path/To/creds.json

I'm able to:
1) Create an edit
2) Upload an APK
3) Update the "alpha" track to point to the version of the apk

It fails when:
4) Commit

The 500 has an empty message, so I'm not sure what I need to do to get past 
this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ben

[android-developers] Trouble with JDK for Android Studio

[Ben Andreasen]

I am currently trying to set up my installation of Android Studio on my 
Mac, and to get a handle with everything, I decided to get acquainted with 
the IDE by creating a generic, bare-bones project, and looking through the 
files. There's an xml file called activity_main.xml that I was trying to 
view, which seems to be what allows the developer to create and view the 
GUI, but my Android Studio gave me an error that wouldn't render the GUI on 
Android Studio and said "Rendering Error: Android N requires the IDE to be 
running with Java 8 or later". The error gave me this link: 
https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html#java8 , which I 
followed and did everything accordingly to resolve this problem. I 
downloaded Java 8, and configured it the way it outlined, but I'm still 
getting said rendering errors. Has anyone else experienced this, and do you 
know what I can do so that I can start rendering and playing around with my 
GUI? Thanks!

[android-developers] 500 Errors for Refunding Google Play Purchases - Info Needed

[Ben Serviss]

Hi,

I'm working on a rails CRM app that supports an Android app that sells 
recurring subscriptions.

In the CRM app, we want to have the option to cancel or refund accounts. 
We're using the Google API Ruby Client to handle these calls 
(https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client).

We have implemented the cancel subscription and revoke subscription methods 
via the API and they both work fine, but when we try to send a request to 
the refund subscription endpoint, it always returns a 500 server error. 
There is no helpful description that comes with this error. 

This is what is returned every time:

Caught error Server error
Error - #

We can attempt retries when this fails, but it fails every time. We are 
sending over the same params that the other API methods require - package 
name, product id and purchase token. Is this a problem on Google's end? A 
problem with the API? Something else?

Thanks,
Ben

[android-developers] NFC intent on Android for Work

[Ben Morris]

 

I've created a very basic app that has an intent for external NDEF type as 
shown below.







The activity the above is nested in is the main activity for the app and is 
just a vanilla blank activity. 

All works fine on the standard user side however if I side load the app on 
to the Work Profile the intent never reaches the app and the "New tag 
collected" screen is shown. 

The Android documentation states that the Profile administrator can control 
which intents are sent across from the user to the work profile however I 
can find no such settings within the BlackBerry Enterprise Server 12 (our 
MDM) console or the Android for Work console.

[android-developers] KitKat Visualizer Issues

I've been working on adding music visualization to my live wallpaper using 
the Visualizer class. The visualizer works as expected when music starts 
playing. However whenever I switch to the next song, I get empty waveforms 
back from the visualizer. I've downloaded several visualizers from the 
market and they all have the same behavior. Is this a known bug for the 
visualizer and is there a work around available.

presents several different companies to choose from, but i have no idea 
which is best. does anyone have a recommendation? is there a better service 
to use besides google play?

[android-developers] How to sync folder with cloud?

[Ben Lee]

Hi,
We have a simple note app, it save each note as a single file.
It works locally, doesn't even require network permission.
I am thinking about allowing user to sync their files with their cloud
storage account, like Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, etc.
My first guess is this is a general requirement, so there must be some
working solution(An app, or a library) out there.
I spent several weeks to investigate. Here is what I found.
The nearest app is FolderSync. The user can create "folder pair"(pair of
local folder and remote folder), then FolderSync will handle all other work
to keep these two folders in sync. However, it don't have an api to allow
third party app(like our note app) to create a "folder pair".
Regarding to libraries, some of the cloud provide library for Android.
Those libraries just do downloading/uploading, they don't do folder
syncing. One exception is DropBox, they provide a sync api. This is the
nearest library that I expect.
The reasons stopping me from using dropbox sync api to implement sync for
my app are:
1. I need to change my File related codes. But what I want is JUST a folder
that syncs. So why can't I just do normal File reading/writing and the
library do the work of syncing?
2. What about a user who don't use dropbox?
3. It cache the files in Internal Storage, which is often precious.

After finding out there isn't a ideal solution, I spent several days to
learn how to create one. It turns out to be a non-trivial task.
My target is to create a sync app that allow user and third party apps to
create "folder pair", the sync app deals with all other things to make sure
the folder is synced.
It should be able to connect to different cloud providers.
It should be easy to use, both for the end user and for third party
developer.
It should work.

Before I start, I have some questions.
1. Did I missed anything? Is there a good solution out there?
2. If there isn't any solution, why? Is it because it's NOT a general
requirement, or because it's technically impossible?
3. Why companies like dropbox provide sync for Windows and Mac and Linux,
but NOT for Android? Is it technically impossible, or because no one need
to sync in Android?
4. If I create such an app, are you interested in using(invoke via intent)
it?

Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Payout to multiple persons?

[Ben O'Halloran]

I have a Android developer account associated with a checkout account. Is 
it possible to have revenue from a *single app* I release be split at an 
amount I specify between myself and another person?
I don't think it is but I'm not sure.
This would just be easier for me tax wise, since I don't have an LLC or 
similar entity set up.

[android-developers] Need someone capable of writing audio/physics based application

[Ben Costerton]

Hello,


I am in need of someone who is confident in writing an audio based 
application involving a lot of physics based variables. These will include 
time, intensity and EQ variables, as well as others, dependant on real-time 
user input.  
The application will be an audio/visual application revolving around 
existing audio/visual content.

Knowledge of head tracking technology will also be a plus as this will most 
likely make a large impact to the application in later prototypes.


I would like to discuss the application with anyone who is interested in 
developing a prototype application. 
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if this is of interest to you.


Thank you for reading,

Ben

Re: [android-developers] Wrapping horizontal list view?

[Gal Ben-Haim]

I actually don't want to scroll horizontally at all.

I want items to be places from left to right, and warp to the next row when
there's not enough room for the next item. also, this should scroll
vertically.

Re: [android-developers] Wrapping horizontal list view?

[Gal Ben-Haim]

I'm facing the same problem as this old question.

I want to create an horizontal wrapping (and vertical scrolling) ListView, 
for example:

11 222 
44  66
7 888 9

where each numbers group is a list item.

I found this old answer suggesting using a Gallery widget, but it only 
allows to scroll horizontally.

how can I create such view ?

[android-developers] Determing icon location in live wallpaper

[android-developers] Animate an icon that is moving through GeoPoints

[shai ben shimol]

i am developing an android application which is based on mapview. 

 

(a live real time bus timing application).

im using the "overlay" class for this purpose (inserting the icons etc'). i 
am recieving an array of GeoPoints, and i need to create an animation in 
which a certain icon is moving through the GeoPoints index route.

 

(in short - an icon that represents a bus which is moving on a certain road 
/ route)

how can this animation be achieved?

[android-developers] how to handle large Parcelable ArrayList in Android ?

[Gal Ben-Haim]

I'm developing an Android app that is a client to a JSON webservice API.

I have classes of resource objects (some are nested) and I pass results 
from an IntentService that access the webserive using the Parcelable interface 
for all the resource classes.

the webservice returns arrays or results that can be potentially large 
(because of the nesting, for example, a post object also contains comments 
array, each comment also contains a user object).

currently I'm either inserting the results into a SQlite database or 
displaying them in a ListView. (my relevant methods are accepting 
ArrayList as arguments). (some data need to be persistent 
stored and some should not).

since I don't know what size of lists I can handle this way without 
reaching the memory limits, is this a good practice ?

is it a better idea to save the parsed JSON to a local file immediately and 
pass the file path to theResultReceiver, then either insert to database 
from that file or display the data ?

is there a better way to handle this ?

btw - I'm parsing the JSON as a stream with Gson's Reader so there 
shouldn't be memory issues at that stage.

[android-developers] Re: "Proper" way to communicate service errors to activity

you can use ResultReceiver, create one in your activity and pass it to the

[android-developers] Android 4.1, HLS streaming and HTML5

[Ben]

I am looking for a way to deliver live streaming through the android
browser for 4.1. I currently use flash however as I understand flash
will not be supported in 4.1 and above.

I have tried using the html5 video tag and a HLS stream however I have
only been successful with getting the sound and no video.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck?

I am testing this on the android emulator

I'm not sure if you've already considered this, but it could be that
they are not eligible to upgrade. Make sure that you haven't
accidentally enabled a feature or requirement in your manifest that
would strand a large number of users at version 10 because of SDK
version or other feature requirements.

Re: [android-developers] Can´t create an AudioRecorder object

[Ben Taliadoros]

Hi Gabriel,

I would like to express I am facing the same issue as you stated below, have 
you 
fixed it yet?

I have found using a sample rate of 8192 works too, although I still get the 
same errors. at least 8192 goes into the buffersize exactly (and is power of 2).

Also I read your other article 
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.android.devel/85692 in which 
you 
said to loop to find the best solution for your device and look at the output 
(if >0 then good). could you clear up how you did this?

Please let me know if you have had any joy with this class.

Thanks for your time,

Ben

I've got several similar layouts but the warning says (emphasis mine)
"This LinearLayout or its FrameLayout parent *may* be useless."  I
found that all of the cases in my app where the warnings said that it
"is useless" were legitimate. Many of those "may be useless" cases
were situations where I used layout_gravity="center", like you. I
suppose there may be a more optimal layout, but in my case it isn't
worth the effort to find it.

[android-developers] Re: Sudden rash of license check failures in LVL. Anyone else?

[Ben H]

some clues are starting to pop up for me. one user i'm working with
says that he's using an older version of the market app.

"I am using the market 2.3.6 because there is an issue where if
running your resolution at 200, which I do, the market says all kinds
of apps are not compatible with my phone.  So using the 2.3.6 allows
me to run my resolution at 200 and also have access to all apps in the
market."

since the market app is responsible for sending/receiving license
checks to the license server, it would stand to reason that this could
be the cause. if google changed the way license checks work on the
server, and only the newer market app knows how to properly execute a
license check, then older versions of the market app would fail.

yes, you can. create an instance of org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie, and
add it to an instance of
org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCookieStore.BasicCookieStore, then
add that to your BasicHttpContext. then it goes something like this:

AndroidHttpClient client = AndroidHttpClient.newInstance(USER_AGENT);

BasicHttpContext httpContext = new BasicHttpContext();
httpContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, mCookieStore);

HttpGet request = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(request, httpContext);

that's interesting. so that means that the license check was failing
for many days before your app finally notified the user?

[android-developers] Sudden rash of license check failures in LVL. Anyone else?

[Ben H]

i have an app in the android market that uses the LVL. it's bone stock
- not modified from the original source. yeah yeah, you're supposed to
alter it, but the LVL cracking apps out there are so good now that
it's pointless to try to fool them, IMO. not pointless, just not worth
the effort, IMO. i'm just trying to keep honest people honest.

anyway, over the past few days, i'm suddenly getting a rash of
complaints from users that the license check is failing in my app. one
user sent me some logcat output that included this:

11-01 12:15:46.192 I/LicenseChecker( 1102): Check timed out.

nothing has changed in my app. i'm wondering if there's something
wrong with the license servers. is anyone else experiencing this
problem?

yes, i did try the suggested solution at

thanks for the workaround to use r12. i'll try it. an ftp site would be nice

That's a major problem for me. I need to release an update to my

[android-developers] Re: Android repository missing platform packages? Help!

[Ben H]

Hmm so does that mean that anything prior to r14 is unsupported? That
would be extremely disappointing. I can't use r14 right now because of
the build bug. None of the available fixes work for me. I'm completely
dead in the water here.

[android-developers] Android repository missing platform packages? Help!

[Ben H]

i recently reinstalled the android sdk because of this infuriating
build bug in r14. when i open the android sdk manager, i do not see
any platform packages available. i installed r12 of the sdk tools, and
i see the r14 package available, but nothing else. where's all the
platform packages, docs, etc.? see this screenshot of the sdk manager:

http://i.imgur.com/uyBAE.png

if you look at the android repository.xml, it also only has the
platform tools packages.

http://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

shouldn't it have everything, not just the tools packages? is there
another url that i need to add for the platform packages? thanks.

[android-developers] ADT r14 - Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

[Ben H]

since updating ADT to r14, i've been plagued by the bug described here

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20398

and here

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7823312/problems-building-with-adt-r14

i was surprised that i couldn't find a thread about this bug in this
group. i'm hoping someone here has some insight. i've tried all the
solutions offered so far, and none of them work for me.

my comment from the bug report: i'm having this problem too. my app
only references one library - my LVL library. i have tried removing
the reference, cleaning .classpath, and .project, and removing
references to source folders. i've cleaned the project, opened and
closed it, and waved a dead chicken over my keyboard. nothing has
worked. please help!

[android-developers] setText for a TextView sometimes produces FC

[Ben Lee]

Hi,
Very rarely, my app crashes in setText.
Here is the detail:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: index=4 length=4

> at android.text.StaticLayout.out(StaticLayout.java:680)

> at android.widget.TextView.setText(TextView.java:2666)
> at my.handrite.widget.NoteIndexItemView.setNote(NoteIndexItemView.java:100)

In my code, it looks like this:
99SpannableStringBuilder spannable_string = note.getSpannableString();
100   mTextView.setText(spannable_string);
This happens very rarely, I only get this issue from android market's issue
report, never happens when I debug.

I want to read the source code of android, but unfortunately,
AndroidBidi.java(in android 2.2, android 2.3) don't have row 65(as in the
issue report)--it don't have that much rows.
So I guess this may happened in Android 3.0+, which we don't have access to
the source code yet.

Is it possible to find the bug?
Thank you!

[android-developers] Re: sqlite unicode query

[Ben]

My problem is not Case-insensitive.
I need to run a query on Hebrew column, but the query not return any
row.

Android SQLite can store Unicode but doesn't perform query in
different languages?
I read somwere that some SQLite3 version (SQLite JDBC Driver) have
full Unicode support (not by default).

I missed something or that a bug?

[android-developers] sqlite unicode query

[Ben]

I try to run a simple query.
The query key ("word" variable) contain an Hebrew (Unicode) value.
The code below not return any result from the query.
When I use an English word it works fine.

private SQLiteDatabase myDataBase;
...
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { word };
String sqlString = "SELECT * FROM List Where Heb = ? ";
Cursor c = myDataBase.rawQuery(sqlString, selectionArgs);


Enviroment: Java Eclipse, Android Emulator API Level 10.

Any ideas?

Let android handle it should be your first choice.
But if creating a new activity is too expensive for your app, you may want
to handle the orientation yourself. Since your layout are the same, I guess
it won't be very complicate to handle orientation change by yourself.

[android-developers] Re: LVL - Checking licence validity from a server

[Ben]

For anyone else having this problem, the issue was with the response
data.

Signed data comes in looking like this if it's a TEST EMAIL account:-
0|136040138|com.foo.bar|1|ANlOHQOShF3uJUwv3Ql+fbsgEG9FD35Hag==|
123456789012

if it is a genuine MARKET account
0|136040138|com.foo.bar|1|ANlOHQOShF3uJUwv3Ql+fbsgEG9FD35Hag==|
123456789012:GR=10&VT=0987654321>=1234567890

When the signed data is validated, the data after the ':' is stripped,
so trying to re-validate the data will fail in the case of the market
account, and pass in the case of the test email account.

Ben

[android-developers] LVL - Checking licence validity from a server

[Ben]

I have an app that needs to request a key from a remote server. It
authenticates from the app with lvl, then communicates with the server
who also checks against the market (a second step in the chain to
prevent piracy). It authenticates using the responseData and signature

In test this all works a-ok. When I launched my app, this did not
work:

the app validated with lvl without issue and requested an api key from
the remote server

the remote server tries to check with lvl and returns false UNLESS the
email address is in test accounts.

I am testing with the following code:-

Can anyone shed some light as to why it is not working? Do I need to
validate using a different key maybe?

[android-developers] Automatic device resident apps running in bkgrd

[Ben Chen]

I'm new to Android development, so please pardon if this question
seems too fundmental. I was wondering if it was possible to create an
application that once launched is always "ON" even when the phone is
not being used (unless of course the user manually terminates it or
the battery runs out) and will periodically "awaken" to send certain
information (e.g., location) via text. This will not be spyware, and
the user will be fully aware of this feature if they launch the
application. Is this doable?  Thanks.

[android-developers] Background Application Consistently On

[Ben Chen]

I'm not that familiar with Android development, just IOS so please
pardon if this is question seems too fundamental.

I'm oking to create an applicaiton that once launched will
consistently be "on" ... even when the individual is not actively
using the phone/app.  At various intervals, the application would send
infomation (e.g., location, texts, etc.).  Is this device resident
application that is always ON and automatically sends this information
without the user's manual intervention each time implementable in
Android?  Thanks.

Hi!

Took me a few days to look at your answer(holiday time^^) and it seems
that my solution with manipulating the textview in the "onPostExecute"
Method doesnt work stable(I dont get it), so I will try it as you
said in the "publish progress" Method, lets hope for the best :D

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Socket in AsyncTask

[Ben]

Thanks for the help!!! It works now(got rid of the timeout setting and
creating the socket elsewhere in the class. I also get the right
exceptions now, but I have no Idea why I wouldnt get them before(it
was an ip address, never a hostname and I never saw unusual traffic in
wireshark...), but well I dunno :D

[android-developers] Problem with Socket in AsyncTask

[Ben]

Hi!

I'm having weird problems with a socket connection in an AsyncTask:


public class diagnosis extends Activity {


TextView tv;


protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.diagnosis_test_gui);

//textview erzeugen
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dtg_tv);
tv.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance());


}

private class conmng extends AsyncTask {
PrintWriter pw;
OutputStream os;
BufferedReader br;
@Override
protected Integer doInBackground(String... params) {
Socket cs = null;


try {
cs.setSoTimeout(500);
} catch (SocketException e) {
tv.append("Socket Timeout");
e.printStackTrace();
}
   

tv.append("trying to open socket\n");  


try {
tv.append("before socket\n");
cs = new Socket("10.0.0.4", 23);
tv.append("after socket");
os = cs.getOutputStream();
pw = new PrintWriter(os, false);
br = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(cs.getInputStream()));

} catch (UnknownHostException uh) {
uh.printStackTrace();
tv.append("unknown host");

} catch (IOException io) {
tv.append("IO Exception");
io.printStackTrace();

} catch (SecurityException se) {
tv.append("Security Exception");
} 

//do something
return 1;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
tv.append("im Post Execute");
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}


->If I try to set the timeout of the Socket -> null Pointer Exception
->If I try to connect to an existing address, I get the message  
"tv.append("after socket");" but just a second after that I get "08-13 
20:44:05.657: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(304): Caused by: 
android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original 
thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views."
->If I try to connect to an address that is not existing(which is exactly 
the situation I want to simulate) I wont get any exception like "unknown 
host" or anything it just hangs and hangs and hangs withour any error or 
something till it kills my router with its trying(DDos anyone?) :D

The whole thing worked just fine in native java and I would greatly 
appreciate any help!

[android-developers] Socket-Bug in Android VM (Eclipse) ???

[Ben]

Hi!

I've encountered a really strange behaviour of the Android Development
VM

-Starting an AsyncTask as a private class from my Activity (works
perfectly)
-Then the programm comes to: (tv=textview)

try {
tv.append("before socket\n");
cs = new Socket("10.1.1.1", 23);
tv.append("after socket");
os = cs.getOutputStream();
pw = new PrintWriter(os, false);
br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(cs.getInputStream()));

} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
tv.append("unknown host");

} catch (IOException e) {
tv.append("IO Exception");
e.printStackTrace();

The really interesting thing is that I get the message "before socket"
but not the "after socket", there are no errors or anything(it just
hangs there) and I have tested this whole thing in a native java
environment where it worked perfectly, is there some bug with sockets
in the Eclipse Android VM? (Or am I doing something wrong)

Thanks in advance for some hints!

[android-developers] 16bit grayscale images and allowing window/level

[Ben Litchfield]

Assuming I had an image that has raw short data(grayscale), images are
approx 2000x3000 but can be scaled down for performance.  I would like
to display this image and to smoothly allow for window/leveling the
image.

Moving your finger up/down and left/right would change the window/
level/

Basically I would like to have my array of grayscale short pixel data
and a lookup table.  As the user moves their finger I would only
update the lookup table.  The display would use the pixel data and the
lookup table.

I see these classes but don't quite see how to hook them up with what
I'm trying to do.

ColorFilter
ColorMatrix
ColorMatrixColorFilter

Any hints?

[android-developers] How to deal with the "paste" widget in android 3.0?

[Ben Lee]

Hi,

This question is first asked in
stackoverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6648177/how-to-handle-the-paste-event-in-android-3-0honeycomb>,
but still got no helpful answer. Then I realize maybe this is an advanced
question, I should post it here.

I have a customized EditText, which need to do customized "paste".

I overrode onTextContextMenuItem(int id) to handle "paste" requested by
selecting context menu.

@Override
public boolean onTextContextMenuItem(int id) {
  switch(id){
  case android.R.id.paste:
doMyPaste();
return true;
  }
}

This works in Android before 3.0.
In 3.0, however, there is a small "paste" widget near the cursor widget if
it's long-pressed, or the cursor is tapped.
[image: enter image description here]
When user do "paste" from this widget, the onTextContextMenuItem(int id) won't
be invoked. As a result, I can't do the customized paste.
Do any one knows what that small "paste" widget is? Which method should I
override to do a my own "paste"?

Thank you!

Ben Lee

[android-developers] replicating SmsManager.sendDataMessage on CDMA phones

[Ben Fleischhacker]

I'm having trouble with the sendDataMessage method in SmsManager
(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/
SmsManager.html).

Sending a data sms between 2 gsm emulator's appears to at least
partially work, but I get a NullPointerException when using the same
method on a verizon cdma phone.

I found this link to a bug report (http://code.google.com/p/android/

there's a way to work around this problem or something similar i can
use on CDMA phones

I can replicate the problem personally on a Galaxy S (Fascinate)
running 2.2.1, a Nexus One running 2.3.3, and the emulator running
2.1.  A couple of friends let me test on their Droid X running 2.2.1,
an Adam tablet running 2.2, a Nexus S running 2.3.3, and an original
Droid running the latest stock firmware (2.2? maybe).

All of those show the problem.  I even dropped my emulator down to 1.5
to see if I could replicate the issue and I could.

[android-developers] Re: EditText stops displaying characters as I'm typing?

[Ben S]

Sorry for the late reply...I've been on vacation.

Just before I left I found that any "extraneous" code I executed
within the OnKeyListener would cause the issue to reproduce (I also
tried several other callback methods such as onKey, etc. and those
produced the same result).

If there was any other code I executed (which there was in the
ellipsized portion I left out in the OP), the bug could be reproduced
quite frequently.  There was a bit of code in the portion I left out,
but simply calling a method to send the text through a socket or to
add that text to a listview adapter would produce the bug.

I.e:

if (sendText.length() > 0) {
   v.setText("");

   lvA.add("00:00pm", sendText); //This would cause the
edittext to stop functioning normally
}

I also tried using a handler as well, but found that it wouldn't get
rid of the issue.  The one thing I have done now to workaround the
issue was to remove my OnKeyListener.  Instead, what I ended up doing
was to add a "Send" button right next to my EditText, and in its
onClickListener I run all of the code I previously ran in my
OnKeyListener.  Also, I went ahead and set the EditText inputType as
textShortMessage (in xml: android:inputType="text|textAutoCorrect|
textShortMessage") so that the unused/unmapped enter key on the
keyboard would become a smiley key instead.

After doing this, I can't replicate the bug.  It doesn't solve the
underlying issue, but at least it's something.

Look at http://d.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent.html.
It's the closest thing I can think of that can tie two applications
together, but I've no idea if what you want to do is possible.

[android-developers] Another Android Development Forum

[Ben]

I've been a member of linuxquestions.org for a few years, and they've
just spun off another forum for Android.  It covers all aspects
(hardware, apps, etc.) and includes a development forum as well.

I'm not trying to take away from what is here, but I'm all for
multiple sources.  There is a magnificent amount of quality
information here on the Google forum!

If you like to answer questions, try it out.  If it's half as
successful as linuxquestions.org, it may provide some good discussion
on development and other aspects of the platform and devices.

[android-developers] Re: input/output ports

[Ben]

I can only answer number two.  The cost is zero to get the SDK and
write fully-functional applications for Android.  There is a one-time
$25 fee to become a developer and publish in the Android Market, and
you'll have to furnish your own hardware of course.  Eclipse and all
the Android software tools are free.

[Ben]

You could look at http://hginit.com/ (a Mercurial overview/tutorial)
and see if it helps.  I haven't started using any code versioning yet,
but probably will use Mercurial itself, or Kiln if I get to team
programming.

[android-developers] Re: Orientation

[Ben]

I believe you should save the state in the onStop() method and bring
it back in through the onResume() method.  The act of changing screen
orientation stops the activity and restarts it in the new
orientation.  onStop() and onResume() should handle it for you.

[android-developers] Spinner items missing selection radio button

[Nadav Ben-Gal]

Hey, i asked it at SO few days ago, no answer yet, hoped someone here
will have an idea...
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6146442/spinner-items-selection-
radio-missing)

When my items contains English and/or numeric signs, it shows the
radio selection near the item, but when it doesn't contains any
English and/or numeric signs (contains only Hebrew in my example) it
does not show the radio selection near the item.

For the adapters (array adapter) creation i used the layout
"android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item"

And before setting the Spinner adapter I did

 
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

The solution I found for now, is set the layout to
"simple_dropdown_item_1line"; this solves the problem by not showing
the radio button.

Any ideas on how to get the radio button visible always?


-
correction - it does not solve the problem, in _few_ of my spinner the
text is now whit (on a white background..)

Thanks,
Nadav

[android-developers] EditText stops displaying characters as I'm typing?

[Ben S]

Basically what happens is I will start typing on the keyboard (stock
and third party), and all of a sudden it stops showing characters I
type in the EditText, (sometimes) resets the caret to the beginning,
yet I know I'm still typing because the suggestions box shows the
characters as I type.  I've experienced the behavior on at least 5
different devices (running 2.2, 2.3) as well as the emulator (running
2.1) but can't seem to nail down a solution.

It is seemingly random; I'm not reading any error logs through DDMS
from the system, (the only thing I see being written :sometimes: is
WARN/IInputConnectionWrapper(991): endBatchEdit on inactive
InputConnection) so I'm a little baffled.

Here is what it looks like: http://i.stack.imgur.com/gsB49.png

Here is the XML layout of the EditText:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">









And here is my code from the Activity:

et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etMain);

et.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, 
KeyEvent
event) {
if ((event != null && (event.getKeyCode() ==
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND) {
String sendText = 
v.getText().toString();

if (sendText.length() > 0) {
v.setText("");



}
}
return true;
}

return false;
}
    });


Appreciate any insights...let me know if you need anything else...

Ben

[android-developers] Trade my Android Open Accessory Developer Kit (ADK) trade for your new Sprint Nexus S 4G?

[Ben]

I have one of the first official ADK (Android Open Accessory Developer
Kit) Arduino kits distributed by Google during IO today and I'm
looking to trade it for the brand new Sprint Nexus S 4G phone.  I hope
it is not inappropriate to put this out to android-developers mailing
list.

I happened to be in the room at IO when they gave out the ADK kits to
those attending the session, however I'm not a hardware hacker and I
doubt I will make much use of it.  I am building Android apps however,
and I'd really like to experiment with NFC which is on the Sprint
Nexus S device.

I'm not into price-gouging and won't put this on eBay for the highest
bidder (others will, I'm sure). Instead I just want to trade it for a
device more suited to my development.  For reference, a link on the
official Google pages to purchase this kit points to a Japanese online
retailer who are selling these for 31,500円, ~US$390 (http://www.rt-
shop.sakura.ne.jp/rt-shop/index.php) although they are currently out
of stock.

Accounting for shipping, customs fees and the fact this is out of
stock I think this equates to a fair trade for the phone.

If you are interested please send me an email.  I will also be at Day
2 of Google IO if you are interested in trading in person.

Thanks,
Ben

[android-developers] Mounting and UnMounting SDCard

[Nadav Ben-Gal]

Hey,
After some searches (actually a lot :)) the only related solution i
found is to take the MountListener, MountService and their friends
(some other related class) and to add them to the project.
but when the code reaches to listenToSocket() function, it crashes on
socket.connect(address); (line 203) the reason is permission denied.
the apk contains the internet permission (which is the only somehow
related permission since we create a LocalSocket).
I also added a FactoryTest (app will run as root by manual)
permission. non of them helped.

from digging some more up, i saw that it connects to the VOLD (volume
demon) and send commands to him. i checked to see if VDC is exists
(thought it might by 2.3 breaking change or something like that...)
but its there.

the only thing i can think of is that i messed something up in the
Mount* files and I should call those functions via reflection but i
don't see how it will help me since it's crashing on permission
denied.

any ideas?
if anyone ever done it (or know what to do) It will help me a lot to
hear how and what I can do.

Thanks,
Nadav

[android-developers] NFC P2P Mode

[Ben Dodson]

I was looking through the git repository history and found some code
relating to P2P mode in Android. I understand it's not ready for use
by users and typical Android developers, but I was hoping to play
around with it myself. I was wondering if anyone else was playing with
this or had some experience to share.

The feature I'm trying to re-enable is called MyTag, and there are
relevant commits in the Nfc and libnfc-nxp, linked below. I also wrote
my own custom BroadcastReceiver with the hope of setting the tag value
from userspace. I'm just hoping to put together some demos on top of
nfc, so security and long-term stability aren't important to me.

Relevant commits:

[android-developers] How to determine why app was restarted

[Ben]

Hi,

I am developing an application that loads data via the internet on
start up or when the user clicks a refresh button. What I don't want
to happen is for the application to reload the data when the
application is restarted due to the orientation of the android device
is changed.

Is there any way to determine why the application has been restarted?

Regards

Ben

I have been seeing similar things to this as well.  I get this odd

Any information out there on this would be great.  Occasionally, songs
just fail.  But, even without failing I get 101 consecutive errors
from the MediaPlayer, starting with ext1=0 thru ext1=100, as well as
this "III" constructor business.  This makes finding real errors
in the log very very hard.

Bad Samsung.

[android-developers] Need Help !!

[Anis Ben Nsir]

I'm using a TabActivity to run two activity.
In the first activity I'm using GestureDetector.Fling for flipping
between views of the first Activity.
I have tested the first activity and it works well.
But when I have add it into the TabHost using TasSpec  setContent(new
Intent(this,MyFlipper.class).
The problem that i'm no longer able to catch the fling.

Thank you for your help.

[android-developers] Determining whether StageFright or OpenCore is in use?

[Ben O]

I have an app that needs some conditional code depending on whether
it's using the old-style OpenCore media platform or StageFright.  I
noticed trouble on rooted phones where StageFright is disabled, and on
the Droid X where it still seems to use OpenCore out of the box, so
keying strictly off whether the device is running 2.2 isn't helpful.

Is there any way to determine programmatically which media decoder is
in use on a given phone?

[android-developers] Determing end of Scroll View scroll

[ben]

Is there any way you to determine the pixel value where a scroll view
stops on a fling. It's easy enough to find when the user is scrolling
the view with a touch but I see no way to determine the end point of a
fling. The only solution I could come up with is to use a gesture
detector to catch a fling and then calculate where it would stop based
on the velocity, is that the best way?

I'm trying to create a view that will indicate to the user when there
is more to scroll to, and then have the indicator vanish when the
scroll view is at the beginning or end.

[android-developers] Re: Streaming MP3 Playback Problems on Android 2.2

[Ben Pellow]

I'm seeing this issue as well, and only with 2.2.  I've seen it with
the emulator, droid x, nexus one and moto droid.  It happens lot more
to me (10x+) with high bitrate streams than low ones (320 vs 120 kbps
mp3).  It seems intermittent and I can find nothing on the web posted
about it other than this thread.

It is a real problem with media apps running in 2.2.  The constant
"-2147483648" always appears with this MediaPlayer error, and could
probably be tracked down in the source.  The problem is not with
eMusic or the stream.  I have seen the same issue with streams hosted
by other services.

[android-developers] Re: Developing Android app for tablet

[ben]

I would make sure your app isn't drawing anything to exact pixel
locations and sizes. If you're using the built in layouts you should
be in good shape. Also you can use the AVD manager to create an
emulator with larger resolutions and screen sizes. That should at
least give you some idea of what it will look like.

[android-developers] Re: Google TV applications

[ben]

Dianne,

I understand that the market can't be opened up to everyone all at
once. I can only begin to imagine what a nightmare that would be to
manage. I just don't understand why this can't be more open like the
c2dm start was. C2DM can't have everyone on the market using it at
once. But at least it was open for everyone to apply to get into the
beta.
