[android-developers] Re: How good to use intents with an application to communcate and modularise it
There are two things that might clarify the use of intents. 1. There are internal and external intents. Internal intents start an Activity of the same application (by giving the class name). This is recommended to ensure the lifecycle. 2. Intents can have extra values used as input to the next activity. Thereby, you can easily share objects between Activities of the same application. If in doubt you can also use the ApplicationContext to hold global objects. I did not fully understand your settings example. Maybe you can elaborate on that.

[android-developers] Localization for Android Market
Hi, Is it correct that only applications with the same language are presented to the user, i.e. the specified language on the device must match the specified language on Android Market? Or is it possible to access say the German applications while having an English language setting. Does the current location effect the selection of applications?

[android-developers] Re: How to use email client of emulator of android sdk second release, for OI Notepad for transferring note
Jalandar,
that is a problem with the email client, it does not handle the same
intents as Google Mail (which is a pitty). However, you can use K9 as
email client.
OI Notepad uses following intent:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
i.setType("text/plain");
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, title);
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, content);
The Email activity "MessageCompose" catches only images:
The K9 activity "MessageComposes catches also text:
(I haven't tried, but I think it works)

Are you working on a device or the emulator? On the emulator there is
no email apps installed by default.
Install Email or K9 and the code should work.

[android-developers] Re: Market: Application not in search result, but exists
Problem solved! In the market account the application locations were not set to "all current and future locations". Thereby, it didn't appear for me in Belgium... I thought that it is equivalent to check all locations listed below the "all current and future.." or check the "all.." Apparently, it is not.

[android-developers] Market: Application not in search result, but exists
Hi, I am missing OI Notepad, if I search for "pub:OpenIntents". If I go directly to the market details page of the applications (using app id) the page shows all information. Also, a search for "Notepad" does not bring up the application. The application is listed as published in our market account. Any ideas, what goes wrong here? We have renamed the application some time ago, does this cause any trouble?

[android-developers] Re: best way for a service to send a notice to an activity?
Have a look at the Api Demo and check the RemoteService example, especially RemoteServiceCallback. I would say that 1.) is the appropriate solution: Activity A binds to S (and registeres the call back). Then A gets updates when available through callback.

Currently, relying on an external resource is the way to do updates,
this is how it is described in the documentation.
If someone is checking against Market, please let us know.

[android-developers] Re: Executing a different android application through intents.
Hi, there is a list of publicly known intents at http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable If your app should provide an intent to other apps you have to define the intent-filter in your manifest.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
I'd say the package name is the global identifier.
Maybe you can just provide a VeeCheck url based on the package name
(as alternative to the app id). So I could check that url. If you
don't host an app for the package name or if it is not unique you
could return a HTTP 400.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
The idea is that the Updater will also be able check all applications
it knows about by a single button clicked or scheduled task. So, once
the intent from one application is processed by the Update it is
possible to include this application to the periodic update.
A more general solution that includes all installed applications is
currently not possible as I can't determine the location of the
version info file.
The apk mentioned above is provided for developers to test. In the
release version the interval between two checks will be at least 24
hours, so you can start the service as often as you like but the check
is only performed once every 24 hours. Furthermore, only the log cat
shows whether the installed version is up-to-date or not. In both
cases the notification is show (this is to simplify the tests).
Would you like to have a different Notification text? Any ideas for
icons?

[android-developers] Check for new version of applications
Hi,
we are preparing the OI Updater that checks a given info file for new
updates as described in the Android documentation.
You can find the current build (rev 1284) at
http://openintents.googlecode.com/files/UpdateChecker.apk
In order to initiate the update check you just have to add the
following code:
Intent service = new Intent();
service.setAction(ACTION_CHECK_VERSION);
String uri= "http://uri-to-update-file.txt";
service.setData(Uri.parse(link));

You can also put current_version_name if you check against the
veecheck url at AndAppStore.
It is still alpha, but we would appreciate early feedback.
How do you like it? Would you include it in your code? More/other
features?...

[android-developers] Re: Spinner Text / Value
I derived a subclass from spinner and overwrote performClick(),
something like:
public boolean performClick() {
if (actionPerformer != null) {
actionPerformer.onClick(this);
}
return true;
}
where actionPerformer is a OnClickListener. The listener then opens a
new Activity in a dialog theme. The activity can do what ever it
wants, using ids and so on. On finish the spinner is updated with the
result value form the activity.

[android-developers] Curious about com.android.fallback.Fallback
There is something like com.android.fallback.Fallback
If I click on google reader in the browser and select All items I get
a customized error message ("Unsupported action") instead of an
ActivityNotFoundException or so.
This customized error message is trigger by the following intent:
Intent { action=android.intent.action.VIEW
categories={android.intent.category.BROWSABLE}
data=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] comp={com.android.fallback/
com.android.fallback.Fallback} }
Does anybody know anything about Fallback?
Could this be related to the feature reqeuest for a "fallback" intent
(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=910)?

[android-developers] Decompile android.jar - RuntimeException("Stub!") - SDK 1.0
Hi,
I used to have a look at the classes in android.jar using JadClipse.
Since SDK 1.0 I only get class method looking like
public void something(...){
throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
}
1. Is there another possibility to decompile/understand the android
classes?
2. How did you manage to do that? Code obfuscation is also an issue
for us.

[android-developers] Re: G1 for testing outside US
I was asking the same question to the Google guys at one of the Developer Days. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it. So, it looks like we depent on carriers or HTC when they make the devices available somewhere else. What does the OHA thinks about that? Do they want to let the developers idle? Couldn't they provide a pool of devices just for developers? Maybe they google could forward this issue to OHA... Probably the main problem is that there aren't enough devices anyway.
