[android-developers] Programmatically publishing app in GooglePlay / Way to automate???

2012-09-17 Thread frantz lohier 
Dear All,

Publication of App to the Google play app store has massively an positively
evolve in past 3 years.

Part of it was the result of management of app and content payment, support
for device configuration or integration of advertisement (all good goals I
suppose).

I've already released 5 apps in multiple languages now in the Market now
and for every upgrade, it take longer and longer to submit a new revision.

Is there a way to programmatically submit app updates at least, with a
command line error-code that would suggest human attention for resolution?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Change in behavior of dialog windows since Android 4.x

2012-08-26 Thread frantz lohier 
Dear All,

Since the arrival of Android 4.x, it looks like dialog windows that are
opened just before an activity goes into the pause state don't respond to
button anymore (i.e., OnClickListener does nothing after the activity is
paused while displaying a dialog). IS there anyone  else experiencing this?

[android-developers] How to toggle the display of an activity dynamically

2012-08-16 Thread frantz lohier 
Hello,

I'd like my activity to start without any display and, based on some
criteria/user preference, revert back to displaying a UI/dialogue when
onCreate() is called.

After some research on the web, I found that the application manifest can
be easily set to force a none display theme with '
android:theme=@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay ' - and effectively, my
activity starts and nothing gets displayed.

What is not obvious is how to force a theme from onCreate() that will allow
me to see dialogues.

I've tried forcing a time  with setTheme() from onCreate() with an opaque
background but it did not work.

It's as if there's is no window manager that was ever initialized when the
manifest is set to Theme.NoDisplay.

I'd appreciate if anyone could help!

Regards,

Re: [android-developers] Prevent garbage collection for Broadcast receiver that are dynamically registered

2012-08-16 Thread frantz lohier 
Thank you Mark - this was never very clear in any of the books I've bought
regarding Android programming or on Android website unfortunately.

My next question is as follows:

I've listed a receiver in the manifest as suggested pointing to the
following definition:

public class TESTWAKEUP extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
   Intent rerun=new Intent(context,MyApp.class);
   rerun.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
   rerun.putExtra(fromstaticreceiver, parameter);
   context.startActivity(rerun);
}
  }
   }

Now, for some reason, when my activity is brought back to the foreground by
the about receiver (which is triggered by a Service), it does not seem that
the extra parameter is ever receiver:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) //this is for MyApp
{
Intent argv=getIntent();
Bundle bundle = argv.getExtras();
String fromstaticreceiver=null;
if (bundle != null)
fromstaticreceiver = bundle.getString(fromstaticreceiver);
Log.d(here:, fromstaticreceiver= + fromstaticreceiver);
//always shows null for fromstaticreceiver

My question is:does getIntent() represent the argument of the intent that
originally started the activity or does it reflect intent in the system
that are forcing an activity to come to the foreground?

Many thanks for any feedback on this front.

Rdgs,

 IMHO, a better implementation would be to register the receiver in the
 manifest, then use PackageManager and setComponentEnabledSetting() to
 control when it should and should not receive broadcasts. IMHO, a
 receiver registered via registerReceiver() from an activity should
 only be used for broadcasts while the activity is in the foreground.

[android-developers] Prevent garbage collection for Broadcast receiver that are dynamically registered

2012-08-15 Thread frantz lohier 
Dear All,

I've developed an app  that registers a receiver in the onResume()
constructor.

This receiver need not to be deallocated as it processes intent even when
my app is not running on the foreground.

For that reason, the receiver is not deregistered by onPause().

Now, when the app goes in background mode, I get a warning that the
receiver has leaked and, since the 4.1 update, the receiver seems to be
deallocated from memory (was not the case before).

Question: is there a way to ensure that receiver are programmatically
registered at run-time are not deallocated when an app goes in background?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Picking up contacts: difference in behaviour between HTC and NexusOne - SDK 2.1-update1

2010-06-07 Thread frantz lohier 
Hi,

I wrote an app that invokes the contact manager in the following way:

Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickcontact, CONTACTPICKED);

I am experiencing 2 different behavior between HTC phones and the NexusOne,
all with firmware 2.1-update1.

Thanks work properly on the NexusOne (i.e., my application is getting access
to all my contact along the primary phone number of that contact list). On
HTC phones however (incredible and the hero), the list of contact I get
represents some sort of index as opposed to the actual contact name/phone
number.

Am I missing anything ?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Invoking the default Alarm clock app as ways for Apps to receive a intent at scheduled time

2010-01-16 Thread frantz lohier 
Dear All,

Is there a way for an App to invoke the default Alarm Clock application and
receive a intent at a given time for specific functions to be activated.

I understand the the AlarmManager can be used for this sort of purpose but
I'm trying to leverage the complete alarmclock GUI framework that allows
users to set the time of an alarm, activate/deactivate them, etc  (as
implemented in the default alarmclock application package and the
setalarm.java file for example).

Any body know if this is possible ?

Thanks,

[android-developers] Continous Audio recording in memory

Re: [android-developers] Re: Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!

2009-11-29 Thread frantz lohier 
Thank you Dmitri for the code. I've reviewed it and don't see any
interaction with the AccountManager.

One of the problem with SDK 2.0 is that pickup contacts is condition by
having a user login with a proper account.

My application crashes under the emulator because I cannot profile a Gmail
account for instance from which to browse  the phonebook.

There seem to be a new AccountManager APIs. Can you or anybody highlight how
this API works. For instance, when Starting an activity to pick up a
contact, an app would want to make sure that the user has picked up an
account and logged to it (if not, defaulting to the SIm contact list seems
appropriate).

Would it be possible for you to update your very good businesscardacitivity

 Note that if you are using API version 4 (1.6 and newer), there is
 Build.VERSION.SDK_INT, which already converts this to an integer.

 If you are still using API version 3, you'll need to parse the String as
 shown above.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!

2009-11-29 Thread frantz lohier 
Thanks Jarkman.

2 questions:

1) Does:
int sdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK);
if (sdkVersion  Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR)

Return the OS/SDK version currently run by the underlying platform or does
it return the target SDK level the APP was compiled for ?

2) Is there a way for an App to learn what is the current language
(input/display)  being used ?

Thanks,

 It would certainly make our lives easier if the Market supported
 alternative binaries for different OS versions.

  Unfortunatly, this link does not tell me how to selectively do an import

 What you can do is build against the 2.0 SDK, but wrap up all your 2.0
 stuff in a class which you only instantiate if you are on a 2.0
 device.
 Build a base class which is mostly abstract, and a 1.6 version of the
 same class which implements the same functionality but with 1.6 APIs.
 Then use this trick to instantiate the right subclass:

 int sdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK);
 if (sdkVersion  Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR)
 {
  className = com.foo.ContactAccessorSdk3_4;   // one subclass of
 ContactAccessorBase
 }
 else
 {
  className = com.foo.ContactAccessorSdk5; // another subclass of
 ContactAccessorBase
 }

  /*
  * Find the required class by name and instantiate it.
  */
  try {
 Class? extends ContactAccessor clazz =
Class.forName(className).asSubclass
 (ContactAccessor.class);
ContactAccessorBase sInstance = clazz.newInstance();
  } catch (Exception e) {
  throw new IllegalStateException(e);
 }

 (thanks, Dmitri!)

   My (hazy) understanding is that the 1.6 APIs will only show you the
   contacts in the primary gmail-syncing account on the device. As the
   emulator doesn't have one of those accounts, your newly-entered
   contacts are in a different account (or in some kind of no-account
   limbo), so they are invisible to the 1.6 APIs.
 
   I think that on a real device with a real account the situation will
   be better, though you still need to move to the 2.0 APIs to support
   users who have multiple accounts.
 
   It may be possible to use the AccountManager APIs to manufacture an
   account of the right sort in the emulator, which would make it
   possible to enter new contacts who would show up in the 1.6 APIs, but
   I don't think there are enough clues in the published docs to tell us
   how to do that.

   Yes, you can fiddle with the IME settings in the Settings app, in
   'Language  Keyboard'.

[android-developers] How can an app dynamically what is the current display language set

2009-11-09 Thread frantz lohier 
Dear All,

I have a quick 2 questions;
   - is there a way for an App to understand what is the current display
language ?

   - is there a way for an App to understand if the current country the
phone operates should report speed in miles per hour as opposed to km/hour ?

Many thanks,

[android-developers] Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!

2009-11-01 Thread frantz lohier 
Happy Halloween All !

The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android
2.0 SDK.

Much improvement for sure !

That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following
Ghost;

I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5
1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.

This is what I'd like to share;

- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from
the phone book and populate a database.

When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator
configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:

Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickcontact, CALL_CONTACTPICKED);

When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at
2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my
the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.

A couple of additional observations;

- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is
Japaneese. Any way to change this ?

- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a clean AVD image, if you launch the
dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a
android.process.acore error ...

- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that People.CONTENT_URI was
deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:

Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, AUTHORITY_URI);
StartActivityForResult(pickcontact, CALL_CONTACTPICKED);

Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking
ACTION_PICK.

Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);

How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or
2.0 compiled apps ?

Thanks !!!

[android-developers] Re: server error when trying to buy my own app

2009-10-26 Thread frantz lohier 
Thanks, I did not know that (I'm curious to know how Google knows I'm the
one buying though). I've used my wife's Google phone and ran into the same
problem ...

If you search in the market, you you find ambu and ambu-trial (the later
being a 2 day free version of the app). I did not restrict the app to a
given country and people in Europe were able to purchase it. I'd love to
confirm that someone can buy it in the US. Your help is very much
appreciated.

 Publish one app, using reflection to access 1.6 APIs.

 No.

Thanks Dianne.

I don't think it's necessary true. My activity is actually alive but not
visible (I have a periodic timer thread that wakes up some function of my
activity).

My activity called the phone dialer, the phone dialer is on top of the stack
and my activity is still runiing but is not visible.

Any other idea ?
