[android-developers] Unsupported format of git

[George Brown]

Hi all,

I keep getting an error message when trying to test my git executable in 
Android Studio. Can someone offer any advice?

I'm running Android Studio 2.2.2 on Windows 10 64-bit. I downloaded and 
successfully installed Git-2.10.1-64-bit. I have an account with Github. 
Git is installed on my secondary hard drive and not on C:.

The steps I take are:

   1. 1) Open Android Studio
   2. 2) Click Configure
   3. 3) Click Settings
   4. 4) Click Git
   5. 5) Click Test 
   6. 
   7. Then a window opens with this message:

Unsupported format of git --version output: [0x7FFD70F970E3] ANOMALY: use 
of REX.w is meaningless (default operand size is 64) git version 
2.10.1.windows.1 [0x7FFD70F970E3] ANOMALY: use of REX.w is meaningless 
(default operand size is 64)

Thank you

[android-developers] Device not detected - how to re-configure Android Studio

[George Uk]

Hi, 
On the development laptop my Sony phone was used for USB Debugging 
initially. Cannot remember how, after several updates to Android Studio, it 
cannot be detected anymore recently. On the same machine, another phone is 
still okay.

My Sony phone still works on a different laptop with the same version of 
Studio (2.1).

Could someone help out please?! 

I have researched on changing settings programmatically and am looking for 
toggle switches within A Studio.

[android-developers] Re: Unfortunately App has stopped is the error im getting and not sure why, all breakpoints make it thru no problem and then the message.

[George Baker]

I believe your problem is that you aren't returning the list from the 
background thread (doInBackground()).  I can't tell from your changes where you 
are assigning a value to the items variable in you adapter constructor but it 
really should be from the result returned from your doInBacground() method.  
Also remember all ui access in an AsyncTask should be in either the on 
onPreExecute() or onPostExecute() methods. 

Hope this helps,
George

[android-developers] Why was “MediaPlayerService” replaced with “Android_DRM_Test” in Samsung Fascinate (Android 2.3.5)?

[George Liu]

 

I wrote own Android Application, which could work with Android Native 
Player to playback any video files.  My own App provides Android Native 
Player with video data chunks through http progressive streaming during 
playback. 

My App works fine on Samsung Captivate and Sprint EPIC 4G, however, it does 
not work well on Samsung Fascinate (2.3.5). During my App sending video 
data chunks to Android Native Player, Android Native Player frequently 
quickly repeat to do rebuffering (MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_START  
MEDIA_INFO_BUFFERING_END) around the same position, which causes video 
playback frozen or stuttering.

 According to my log information, I found out that the “MediaPlayerService” 
was replaced by “Android_DRM_Test“ in the Samsung Fascinate. So, my 
question is here, why was “MediaPlayerService” replaced with 
“Android_DRM_Test” in Samsung Fascinate? Does Andriod_DRM_Test cause the 
issue above? If yes, would it be fixed in the coming Android 2.3.6 for 
Samsung Fascinate?

[android-developers] Re: Is there any minimium number or cut off number to get crash report from app in Google Play's Developer's console

[George Baker]

Venky,

I wouldn't rely on the Google Console for error reporting.  It is 
unreliable and relays on the user to send the report. I've also found 
the granularity to not be very good.  I would recommend something like 
Flurry.  It is also free and offers some very good results.  Another option 
would be to use a library for sending you more detailed error results.  I 
have a free open source one that you are welcome to use.  It will post the 
error results and additional information to a web page.  You can then have 
it email it to you or use it in a database.  If needed, I'll be happy to 
help you with it.  I haven't included them in Github yet but I can also 
give you several php scripts for it that are easy to set up. You can find 
it at https://github.com/gb2002/ExceptTrack .

Hope this helps,
George

 present I am testing only through my friends and crash report numbers will 
 be very minimum as of now.

 Crash report will be the only reason for me to register in Google Play at 
 this juncture as my app is not fully ready for market release.

[android-developers] Re: single device development scenario with questions

[George Baker]

rh,

In order to make a calendar app you should need to even have to worry about 
the source for the Android OS.  What you will need is the Android SDK which 
you can get at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html,  You'll want to 
look towards the bottom of the page under download for other platforms - 
SDK Tools only.  You will also need a copy of JAVA 1.6.

I would recommend you take a look at this Android development workflow 
explanation on the Developer.Android.Com site.  It should help explain the 
process of building an app (
http://developer.android.com/tools/workflow/index.html).  There are also 
some tutorials on the site.  They are for the Eclipse IDE however. While it 
is possible to build an Android app without an IDE it will be very very 
difficult to do.  This is especially true for the layouts of your calendar 
app and if you are new to Android development.  In short not using an IDE 
will dramatically lengthen the amount of time development takes because of 
debugging, layout, etc...  That being said it can be done.  However, I 
wouldn't recommend it.   


Finally, as for building it for your phone only the process is virtually 
identical if you build it for your device only or many.  About the only 
difference is you don't have to worry about testing it on other devices and 
won't have to upload to the Playstore.

Hope this helps,
George

[android-developers] Re: Eclipse exported apk crashing

[George Baker]

Sohayb,

It could definitely be Proguard.  I have two ideas for you.  First turn 
debugging on for the app in the manifest so you can see the debug output 
 on your device.  Then turn proguard off and try running your apk on the 
device.  The debug output should tell you what is happening.  If the app 
runs then it is almost definitely Proguard at fault.

George

 Hello,

 I need to publish my application, i ran the Eclipse export wizard and 
 exported a signed apk with a self-signed certificate, i ran the zipalign 
 tool also. The problem is that when installing this package on the device 
 and running it, it crashes directly, although i can run the application 
 directly from eclipse with no problems.
 Will that have to do with the proguard configurations or anything else?!

[android-developers] Re: Key should not be taken by activity till Toast is shown

[George Baker]

I agree with Treking and recommend using a dialog.  You can build one with 
your own layout and make it similar to a toast without any buttons.  Then 
setup a handler and a runnable to make it disappear 
after a length of time.  You can also use the runnable to activate 
keystrokes to the activity once the dialog is gone.


Hope this helps,
George

 For this, I am trying the below thing.
 I am starting a thread and in the run() of Thread, I am calling 
 sleep(Toast.LENGTH_LONG).

 In the onKeyUp() of the activity, I am checking whether Thread is alive.

 All the time thread state is returned as TERMINATED and isAlive() is 
 returned as false.

 I want a way for the activity not to take any keys till my toast is alive.

 Any help would be really appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: Android MVC

[George Baker]

To take Nobu Games' example one step further you do have a singleton that 
is always running and that is the application class.  You can subclass it 
and use it to store any state variables you want to use across you app. 
 That way if you need to switch activities you can and don't have to do 
everything in one God activity.  You can access the application as shown 
below where YourApplicationClass is your sub-classed application object. 
 Just make sure when storing in the application object you save things 
immediately to persistent storage if you need the data to outlive the 
session.  Reason being is while the application has a onCreate() event it 
does not have an onDestory().  It does have an onTerminate() but it is 
not guaranteed to execute on every exit. 


((YourApplicationClass)mCTX.getApplicationContext())

I also agree with using broadcast receivers and intents.  If data security 
is important be sure to use LocalBroadcastManager to launch and manager 
receivers so that you don't broadcast the intent to the entire phone. 


Thanks,
George

[android-developers] Re: Send multidimensional array via POST request?

[George Baker]

I would also recommend JSON.  As Nobu said it is compact and many server 
side programming languages have libraries readily available for it. 
 Otherwise as far as I know mimicking a  form post doesn't offer an input 
type that natively supports an embedded name value pair. 

Here's an example on how to write one

  JSONObject msgJSON = new JSONObject();
msgJSON.put(error, new JSONObject());
msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).put(code, errorCode);
msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).put(message, new JSONObject());
msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).getJSONObject(message).put(lang,en-us);
msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).getJSONObject(message).put(value,errorMessage);
msgJSON.put(value,errorMessage);

Sorry hit enter too quick. Example below. This creates a value of error

   JSONObject msgJSON = new JSONObject();

msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).put(code, errorCode);
msgJSON.getJSONObject(error).put(message, msg);

[android-developers] Any news on when the market/play/whatever stats will update properly?

[George Pantazis]

This is getting ridicolous now, the stats stop updating for days, the 
counts when they do update are not accurate, instead of changing the name 
or creating a useless console with no extra functionality shouldnt at last 
Google provide us with real stats? Dont need any graphs or anything 
created, a json, xml or even a simple csv is fine. Google devs use itunes 
connect and I am sure they do use the API there to track stats isnt it time 
after 16 different Android API's to at last get the basics required by a 
dev?

We will obviously never be able to reply to comments if we are not top devs 
or get access to any other usefull tool, at least give us proper updating 
stats.

[android-developers] onMeasure calls setMeasuredDimention but size doesn't change.

Hi,

I have a custom view in my application, which doesn't change it's size
the last time onMeasure is called on it. Can someone explain this to
me please?

My view is an extension of ImageView and it's parent is a
RelativeLayout.

This is part of my xml:

RelativeLayout
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:layout_width=match_parent
android:layout_height=match_parent
android:id=@+id/root
view class=my.pacage.myActivity$MyNestedClas
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:scaleType=fitXY
android:id=@+id/view
android:layout_above=@+id/c_layout
android:layout_centerHorizontal=true
android:layout_alignParentTop=true
/view
...
...
/RelativeLayout

this is my onMeasure Inplementation:
@Override
public void onMeasure(int w, int h){
int rw = (int) (MeasureSpec.getSize(h) * aspect);
int rh = MeasureSpec.getSize(h);
Log.d(ONMEASURE, +rw+ x +rh);
setMeasuredDimension(rw, rh);
}

and this is my LogCat:

[android-developers] compatible-screens in android manifest - Filtering too many devices incorrectly?

[George]

I used compatible-screens as documented here
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html and
I found some odd behavior.

Incorrect behavior: Including all possible combinations is NOT
equivalent to not specifying compatible-screens in the manifest at
all.

Expected behavior: All known combinations should be equivalent to NOT
specifying the compatible-screens

Example: If I specify this in my manifest,

compatible-screens
!-- all small size screens --
screen android:screenSize=small android:screenDensity=ldpi /
screen android:screenSize=small android:screenDensity=mdpi /
screen android:screenSize=small android:screenDensity=hdpi /
screen android:screenSize=small android:screenDensity=xhdpi /

!-- all normal size screens --
screen android:screenSize=normal android:screenDensity=ldpi /

screen android:screenSize=normal android:screenDensity=mdpi /

screen android:screenSize=normal android:screenDensity=hdpi /

screen android:screenSize=normal android:screenDensity=xhdpi /

!-- all large size screens --
screen android:screenSize=large android:screenDensity=ldpi /
screen android:screenSize=large android:screenDensity=mdpi /
screen android:screenSize=large android:screenDensity=hdpi /
screen android:screenSize=large android:screenDensity=xhdpi /

!-- all xlarge size screens --
screen android:screenSize=xlarge android:screenDensity=ldpi /

screen android:screenSize=xlarge android:screenDensity=mdpi /

screen android:screenSize=xlarge android:screenDensity=hdpi /

screen android:screenSize=xlarge android:screenDensity=xhdpi /

/compatible-screens
I expect the number of devices on which the app will be available will
be the same as with manifest without compatible-screens specified.
In the Developer Console I see 243 devices with (compatible-screens
+ all the screen combinations specified) Vs 650 without specified in
the manifest.

Developer Console output: This application is only available to
devices with these features, as defined in your application manifest.
Screen layouts: SMALL NORMAL LARGE XLARGE Required device features
android.hardware.touchscreen This application is available to over 243
devices. Show devices

[android-developers] Still receiving sensor events after unregisterListener

[George]

I'm running on a Motorola Droid with OS 2.2.2. My app implements
SensorEventListener and uses Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER and
Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION. After I detect a particular event (i.e.
device shaken or flipped) I want to cancel any subsequent sensor
inputs. I have noticed a lag between calling unregisterListener and
when sensor events actually stop coming to my service. Is this normal?
Is there a way to immediately stop receiving sensor events? Or if
there is some latency between the time I unregister my sensor
listener, can I set a flag to stop processing events? I'm more
concerned with minimizing CPU cycles and battery life so I don't want
the service to run any longer than it absolutely has to.

[android-developers] GLSurfaceView onPause/OnResume, transparent Activities on top

[George]

I have a GLSurfaceView in my Activity and call onPause/onResume when
my Activity is paused or resumed respectively.

When I launch an opaque Activity on top of my GLsurfaceView calling
onPause/onResume seems reasonable, but suppose I launch a transparent
Activity on top on my GLSurfaceView, I don't want to call onPause
because I want any animations running to be seen. Also since onPause
deletes the context, reconstructing onResume may cause visual
artifacts like textures going from blank (since they got cleaned up)
to actual texture.

It is ok to call GLSurfaceview.onPause/onresume in onStop and
onRestart, since we are guaranteed that in onStop that the
GLSurfaceView won't be visible?

[android-developers] a way to receive raw 802.11 packets (or broadcast 802.11 packets)?

[George Nychis]

Hi all,

Is there a way to receive the raw 802.11 packets up from the WiFi
card?  I am guessing that the filter is set on the WiFi card to only
pass up packets with the destination address being the MAC of the WiFi
card.  I was wondering if it is possible to change this filter, and
receive other packets up?  It'd be great to hear what can be done
without rooting.

As a compromise, is it possible to receive just broadcast packets up?
(e.g., to MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).  I found the following in the WiFi
documentation:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.MulticastLock.html

However, I get the feeling that it is referring to IP multicast
packets and not 802.11 broadcast packets.  Is this true?  If so, I
feel that it is very odd to place it in the WifiManger, as IP
multicast has to do with transport layer (parsed well above the WiFi
stack), and would best belong in the socket library.  However, if it
does have to deal with 802.11 broadcast packets, I'd love a pointer on
documentation for how to receive them.  I haven't been able to find
anything on this yet.

Thanks,
George

[android-developers] how to checkout a specific kernel source from repo?

[George Nychis]

Hi all,

My droid 1 has the kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5
android-build@apa26 #1

I have followed the instructions to setup my host environment, git,
and repo from here:
http://source.android.com/source/download.html

I have done a repo sync but I am now wondering how I can use repo to
check out the specific version of the kernel I am looking for my
device.

Thanks!
George

[android-developers] Traceview (in DDMS) captures only few seconds of data

DDMS.

[android-developers] App compatible with 1.5 and 2.2

After browsing through the BusinessCard sample (http://

The ContactAccessor pattern used in the sample is useful but I have a
problem. I would like to test my app in the emulator in eclipse. If I
set the target as 1.5 the eclipse reports errors for ContactsContract
and other 2.2 APIs. If I set the target to 2.2 (and the minSDK to 1.5)
I can only launch a 2.2 API emulator.

I am in a dead end, any ideas?

 Not sure what an Intent Activity is, but it's possible for the

 I mark only 2 center pixels as stretchable area. The problem is not
 stretching, but small changes in color of line and little mutations of

 I thought it can be resolved by putting original picture to raw

   Than i use nine-patch tool from sdk to set 2-pixel stretchable area in

   So my image not only stretches, but also changes in some strange way.
   Even corner areas, that should be the same changes.

 Hi Mark.

 I've taken a look at this, and put together a quick sample based on
 your demo.

 It seems to me that you must have your list content already separated
 before adding them to the ListView. So, you add one Array, then you
 add a different View, then you add another Array.

 I can probably find a way to sort my data in this way, although I was
 hoping to add the view on the fly. My data is currently returned as
 one long List, and I don't know in advance where these separator views
 are going to go. I need to study the contents of my data as it's added
 to the View, and say Ah, here's some condition, add a separator view
 here. Does that make sense, and can this be done?

 Thanks.

   list of names.
 
   I now want to make the list more user friendly. I'd like to add a

   I'm just not sure how I can manipulate the ListView to achieve this,
   and would appreciate any help.
 
  It's not a question of the ListView, but of the ListAdapter. Your
  ListAdapter needs to:
 
  -- Override getViewTypeCount() to return 2
  -- Override getItemViewType() to return 0 for regular rows and 1 for
 headings
  -- Override getView() (or newView() and bindView() for CursorAdapter)
  and have it properly create the right rows and bind them
 
  This is somewhat of a pain.
 
  I have a MergeAdapter that can simplify it, but only where each
  section is its own adapter, with plain Views being interspersed:
 
  https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-merge
 
  Creating a HeaderCursorAdapter that injects headings based on some
  rule (e.g., when the first letter of such-and-so column in the Cursor
  changes) is on my list of 18,000 things to do. Though anyone is
  welcome to go and beat me to writing it. :-)

 Hi!

 I have a problem with bluetooth scan mode.

 I am not sure, but i think the
 BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_SCAN_MODE_CHANGED intent never contains
 EXTRA_PREVIOUS_SCAN_MODE extra.
 According to the doc it should:

 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter.html#ACTION_SCAN_MODE_CHANGED

 There isn't any EXTRA_PREVIOUS_SCAN_MODE related source code in the
 frameworks/base/core/java/android/server/*.java files.
 Maybe it is a known bug, but i didn't find it in the open issues.

[android-developers] Re: isUserAMonkey throws exception

[George]

Dianne,

There seems to be a bug in ActivityManagerNative.java. The return of
value of 1 (when monkey is running) is being treated as an exception.
Looks like the order of reading/writing the exception is mixed-up in
the parcel.

[android-developers] Can't create multiple alarms

[George]

I can't seem to create multiple alarms. In the code below, the last
alarm's onReceive gets fired but not the first one.

AlarmManager sleepAlarm = (AlarmManager)
getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
AlarmManager wakeupAlarm = (AlarmManager)
getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
wakeupAlarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
wakeupTime.getTimeInMillis(), 
wakeupPendingIntent);
sleepAlarm.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
sleepTime.getTimeInMillis(), 
sleepPendingIntent);

If I move sleepAlarm before wakeupAlarm, then wakeupAlarm's onReceive
fires. I've tried it also with a single AlarmManager and PendingIntent
but it only fires the last one created. I'd appreciate any advice or
things to try.

[android-developers] Monkey tool: Launch a particular Activity

[George]

I want to launch only a single Activity in a package using Monkey and
allow it to perform the random event testing. The only option I see to
use -c with CATEGORY_MONKEY and modify my activity in the
AndroidManifest to add this category to my activity?  Though when I
tried with an activity with android.intent.category.DEFAULT, it exited
without running any tests.

Any idea if this is supported - launching only a single Activity with
monkey?

[android-developers] intent filters created at runtime

[George Schneeloch]

Is it possible to create an intent filter at runtime to receive
intents which are directed at certain websites?

I created the basic hello world project in Eclipse and added this to
AndroidManifest.xml, and it worked (a choice was given between the
browser and this app):
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /

data android:host=www.terribleinformation.org /
data android:scheme=http /
/intent-filter

However, if I add this code to the main activity instead, it doesn't
work:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
filter.addDataAuthority(www.terribleinformation.org, null);
filter.addDataScheme(http);

registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v(IntentFilterActivity, Intent 
received!);

}
}, filter);
}

Any suggestions?

[android-developers] Notification when any child of a ViewGroup is done drawing

[George]

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to be notified when any
child of a ViewGroup has done drawing. I tried using the
ViewTreeObserver's preDraw listener which works great if I know a
child is about to get drawn, but I am looking for an equivalent
postDraw or onDrawDone callback.

[android-developers] GLSurfaceView transparent bg within a ViewGroup

[George]

I am able to get a GLSurfaceView to have a transparent background
with

mGLSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 0);
mGLSurfaceView.getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

when I set the Activity's window background to transparent and the
GLSurfaceView is the contentView of the Activity.

But, let's say my GLSurfaceview is parented by a ViewGroup and I want
GLSurfaceView bg to be transparent to see the Viewgroup's background -
I am not able to do so with the code above. Is this a limitation or am
I missing something?

Re: [android-developers] Re: I've found a way to stop piracy of my apps

[George | SlideME]

Dear dadical,
*
*I salute your initiative and congratulate your efforts in the anti-piracy
conflict. Digital Rights Management was never an easy adventure. Nowadays,
everything can be broken by using different methods. Some fall easier, some
do harder. However, I do not intend to highlight this in your licensing API.

I have few thoughts for your licensing approach, as follows :


   1. I as an end-user cannot welcome the disclosure of
   accounts/credentials, which by design are required for your module to work
   (android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS, android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS). Those
   in combination with android.permission.INTERNET makes me highly worried
   about first at all possible scam. A simple example would be : I write an
   application and claim I am using your 'licensing module' so the end-user is
   installing my app thanks to trusting you. Then I do whatever I want with
   that.
  - Based on the above, I as a Vendor can not embrace the permission
  enforcement for such disclosure of private data in my products
  - What if there is a shared account? This will work on all devices
  that have that user credentials?
  2. You have reversely-engineered the Android Market Transfer Protocol
   and Markup Language for purchase verification.
  - Do you have the guarantee that Google will not change the protocol
  and your module will not fail?
 - You will most likely need to reversely engineer the
 protocol/language again and come with an updated version. How
about the time
 frame you need to fix this and the clients unable to use the
application?
  3. Is your module legit? For how long? What guarantees can you grant?

There could be more but for now this is all that came in my mind.

On the other hand, have you heard of
http://slideme.org/slidelockhttps://slideme.org/slidelock that
can be used today for protecting applications for global distribution where
there is no Android Market?

However, when I try to type a command, at the bottom of the screen,
some suggestions are shown - but in CHINESE CHARACTERS. Dont know why
CHINESE?

(2)
Also, the characters I type are not being displayed properly. For
example, typing cd (for change directory), shows ^P.

I need to go to the sdcard folder using cd sdcard and create a
directory using mkdir and then copy some files into it.

Please let me know if I am going wrong somewhere?

Also, is there any other way of creating a directory inside sdcard
folder?

 Run:

 adb shell

 from your development PC's terminal to get a shell prompt on your emulator.

 Or, run:

 adb shell mkdir /sdcard/whateverYouWant

 To just execute your command.

programmer, I am new to the world of DESIGNING / ARCHITECTING
applications and related best practices / methodologies. Hence, need
some expert advice from you to BUILD a ROCK-SOLID Mobile Application.
This will help me think in terms of a Mobile Application Architect!

  I am sorry if my question is not android specific at the moment. If
this is not the correct mailing list, please point me to a relevant
one.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Selling outside the Android Market-- Use Google Checkout to sell direct from website??? SlideMe.Org??

[George | SlideME]

Shane,

Seems you received just enough information from Francois to put blame and
accuse me and SlideME for being dishonest publicly.  I am afraid I have to
disappoint you and provide the communication transcripts, so the members on
this list can judge for themselves if we are dishonest or what kind of a
person you are with words to mash it all up in your favor.

-
I have prepared a transcript of the communication with Francois (koxx).

21 Oct 2009: Sends email to Shane and Shane confirms: Just send me an
invoice with the time period, contact info, method of payment, amount and
then I'll take care of it.
(this did not happen)

8th Nov 2009: Sends invoice within email as text and not as an invoices
attachment  signed as required
9th Nov 2009 : Thanks me for his payout executed from my personal account.

Jan 28th, 2010: After asking if invoices were sent, confirms No, there was
no 'true' invoice in 2009. Just this (an informal text in email)

Jan 28th, 2010: Confirm that we issued a payout without a proper invoice
from developer and that we were in error for doing so, and we needed a
proper invoice.

Feb 2, 2010: Issued report, again.

March 28th, 2010: Followed up with developer on status and why he decided to
unpublish as customers wanted an upgrade and asked Was due to any reason
when previous partner 'Shane' did not remit payment to you on time?
Answer: Mar 28, 2010: Confirms, and claims he forgot to issue invoice to us.

March 29th, 2010: We issued up to date reports again

April 4th, 2010: Assisted personally developer to prepare invoices since
english is not his native language and was finding it difficult to prepare
such invoices.

April 6th, 2010: Received for the 1st time proper invoices for first payout
and new second invoice.

April 8th, 2010: Remittance sent for last invoice

Assumed developer was happy now, but again not enough of my help was enough
to keep him as a publisher on SlideME. Offered developer to forward his
email address to users of his application that wanted an upgrade and did so
as per their request.
-


Shane, one request. You need to retract now in public any such accusations
that I and SlideME are operating a dishonest operation. I would agree you
could make such accusations if you were a judge and have a clear picture
from both sides. Nothing gives you the right in public without knowing both
sides of the story to make such strong accusations that could be detrimental
to SlideME.

re: Martin's case, Martin missed reading the requirements documented clearly
in the 1st email to him as explained earlier in this thread and he issued
what was definitely not an invoice that we had to ignore. A human error on
his behalf, does not make us dishonest. I will take blame, by not following
up with him and mentioning that we could not accept this invoice, that I did
not do.

We have gone out of our way to assist these developers and it seems
developers that are demanding, or for some reason do not like the way we
conduct business tend to publicly post negative comments for their own
reasons.  Unfortunately, we can only stretch our hand out so much to assist
them, and still we find they take a bite at it.

 Cool, at least something is coming out of SlideME.

 George,

 I have a general policy of not attacking people personally, but in this
 case, I'll make an exception because I think it is warranted. You are a
 dishonest individual. You came on this list and publicly accused me of being
 the reason developers did not get paid. And yet, it took 5 months after I
 left SlideME for you to resolve and pay a simple invoice. Yet you gave a
 completely (dishonest) impression on this list that it was my fault. You
 also blamed your recently botched rollout of SAM on me (4 months after I
 left). In addition, you were dishonest in regards to your replies to Martin
 on this list.

 SlideME needs to take responsibility for its actions. Stop pointing fingers
 to others. Stop spinning things. Just cleanup the payout mess. Developers
 are saying it's not working for them and is likely the cause of all these
 angry posts from developers. Deleting these posts from SlideME forums raises
 a lot of eyebrows and was no small factor in why I brought these issues
 forward.

 And for god's sake, stop blaming me for all SlideME's problems. I left 5
 months ago.

 It is very difficult to know what is needed by SlideMe to get your

 You need to request payout balance (we should receive a summary each
 month ? I never received them), then edit yourself the invoice with
 all sales keys (!!!), print it, sign it, scan it, and sent it !!!
 ouch !

Re: [android-developers] Re: Selling outside the Android Market-- Use Google Checkout to sell direct from website??? SlideMe.Org??

[George | SlideME]

Shane,

You are not aware in any way of the conversation between Martin and SlideME
(since you were not with SlideME) or maybe where Martin missed what he
actually needed to do that was clear in the first email to him, that he
unfortunately did not follow.  I am sure your interests since you departed
SlideME is to damage SlideME's image as best you can for whatever personal
reasons you may have.

You also failed to mention for the three developers you posted that had
problems receiving a payout, that they were in contact with you during that
time and you failed to respond in many emails from them. Fortunately I had
means to keep in contact and remitted payouts to them from accounts you did
not control. Many support issues also had to be resolved by phone contact
since you lacked to follow up. So I would appreciate to not use your wrong
doings whilst at SlideME against what SlideME is building today with great
success.

Anyway, thanks for pointing out the BBB, as it needs to be fixed and handy
for developers to know as they venture into the business world of who to
trust and not to trust.  Don't know why you pointed it out though, when
SlideME's interest is to grow and support developers at best we can with our
resources. It would not make sense for what we are pursuing if we did wrong
against developers.

Shane you may also want to check your Mikandi terms against
http://www.copyscape.com, as it appears to be a clone of Android's Market.
Guess, you shouldn't put your new partners in such a responsible state.



re: Martin follow up issue.

Helped Martin format his invoice and what he needs to include:

Invoice to:  SlideME LLC  (that he missed)
Address: companies address (also that he missed)
Invoice #:


A simple explanation of what should be included in an invoice can be found
here: http://www.ir35calc.co.uk/how_to_prepare_an_invoice.aspx


We have helped Martin format his invoice as we have helped many other
developers, but as anyone can understand, we need to conduct business a
certain way and we are not able to take all developers by the hand if they
do not submit as we require such paperwork. I am sure many other developers
are aware of how much more complex applications are for other stores,
including Apple's AppStore, RIM's AppWorld, or even MS WinMo's Marketplace
and doubt they will put in the effort as I have on a personal level to
assist them, with our limited resources.

I am more than happy for Martin to confirm if such details were mentioned to
him in the initial lengthy explanatory email to him, and additionally invite
even more developers to have their say.

Wish to also say thank you to Paul for uploading his application to SlideME,
considering the negativity of this thread from an ex-partner. I am sure Paul

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

 SlideME LLC is a Washington State based company so you have some avenues
 you can pursue. It appears you've tried to directly resolve the issue with
 SlideME but have been unsuccessful.  The Better Business Bureau can assist
 you in getting such issues resolved.


 https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/cibrbusiness.aspx?e=4661378id=0927e2ab-0046-4101-9482-3ef0436b177csite=114

 For some reason, the BBB is still listing me as the principal contact for
 SlideME, so you do choose to report the issue, let them know that the
 current contact is '*George Christopoulos'  *SlideME's phone number is not
 listed on the BBB site, so it can be found here:

 Hope this helps,
 Shane

Re: [android-developers] Re: Selling outside the Android Market-- Use Google Checkout to sell direct from website??? SlideMe.Org??

[George | SlideME]

Martin,

Your ticket reference is still open but as stated you need to conform to
issuing a proper invoice based on the report we will issue you and not just
a copy and paste in some document of some transactions as you choose to do
so.  There is a formal format you need to follow so such an invoice can be
acceptable and a minimum  - and you have not received this minimum.

If the developer community prefers for us to remit payout below the $100
minimum, we could come up with a plan to accommodate. Maybe we could remit
pre-payments as deposits, and then await for invoices from developers. Will
need to confirm this first.

The reason, we are requiring invoices from developers, is since SlideME is
invoicing end users and applying sales taxes where applicable, such as VAT
etc, we also need to receive invoices of such expense costs. Otherwise we
will be taxed on the whole amount of the sale as being profit. Thus, we wont
be able to provide such a high payout to developers.  Hope this normal
business practice is understood by most developers here.  Similarly, you are
expected to invoice your end users from the other stores you use to obey
regulations and apply sales taxes and remit such collected sales taxes to
each local authority. This is where SlideME handles all these complexities
for developers.


In terns of other issues posted in this thread, one needs to keep in mind
when these problems occurred and why. It's very easy for one to post some
negative comments especially when they were in fault and using them against
us today.

Will make sure we consult and update you all to what extent we can reveal
such information without breaching any agreements we have in place, that
will be valuable to developers overall.

Additionally, will come up with some variant models to initiate for
discussions to satisfy any developers concerns. The SlideME discussion
forums will be the place for this.

George | SlideME

Re: [android-developers] Rating Bar Stars cutoff in Droid

[George | SlideME]

If you are referring to eclair, this could be related to
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2324
Emulator displays fine ratingbar stars, but not on actual HD devices such as
Nexus and Droid - where it over-scales stars and affects overall formatting.
On some other devices where eclair is running some updated build version,
problem seems to have been resolved.

Seems to be a platform issue, so I guess user will need to wait for an
update from Google or his device vendor, and doubt if vendor would even be
aware of this issue.

Unfortunately, there are discrepancies with what emulator displays and what
actually appears on devices. So developers using ratingbar/stars should
avoid using if possible or firstly test on target actual devices.

George



HI,

 When i use the rating bar, the same on HTC have no issue when
 displayed. But the same code on Droid makes the Stars cut-off. Please
 let me know what could be the issue

 Below is the piece of my layout code:

 RatingBar
 android:id=@+id/ratingbar2
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:numStars=5
 style=?android:attr/ratingBarStyle
 android:stepSize=1.0/

 Sandeep

[android-developers] Final location of animation to continue animation

Is there a way to find out the final location of my animated object

How to I find the final location of this object (since the View
location itself does not change)? I need to continue the animation
from this point based on an user input.

[android-developers] Re: Updates to the Android SDK

[George Scott]

My development system:  Windows 7 64-bit, 4GB RAM, 2.1 Dual Core
notebook

Eclipse development issue:

I've updated the needed bits for Android development with Eclipse for
Java.  However, I do not choose to use the emulator, I prefer testing
on my Droid mobile phone.

When I try to Run my application in the Eclipse IDE it shows an
error of ERROR: Application requires API version 6. Device API
version is 5 (Android 2.0)

Also in the Android Device Chooser dialog there is a red X in the
Target column.

Is this something to do with the USB drivers?  If so, I've already
tried pointing the Device Manager applet to pickup any new drivers
from C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver on my system, where they
reside.

Further ideas are welcomed and would be most appreciated.  I'm a new
developer and am really looking forward to the possibilities with the
Android platform.

Keep in mind that your app may need to get PCI certification too. Several

code/process review work.  Could end up being quite costly before you can
apply the app for commercial use.

[android-developers] Alternate Line Service (ALS) Support.

[George Antoniadis]

The ALS allows a sim to have two phone numbers registered to it and
gives the ability to the user to choose from which line (1/2) s/he
wants to make a phonecall or send an sms/mms.
Also allows for any of the two lines to receive calls without having
to turn the one off first.

Most old school mobile phones support this feature.

Does android support ALS natively and if not do we have any idea if
this is a planned feature?
Also would it be possible for this to be coded as an application?

ALS on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_line_service

Thank you very much in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Find Default Activity corresponding to Intent

[George]

Inspite of choosing a Default app for my intent, isDefault is set to
false to for both the ResolveInfos in my list. The order of the
ResolveInfo seems to be based on install time -  I verified this by
choosing the second app in my Intent Resolver dialog and called
queryIntentActivities again; my default app still showed up second in
the list and isDefault was set to false.

Also, the documentation of isDefault says nothing about it being the
default app, rather just that if the category of the intent was
DEFAULT - This filter has specified the Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT,
meaning it would like to be considered a default action that the user
can perform on this data. (Related question: When does this become
true?)

Any other pointers? Will PackageManager.getPreferredActivities help me
in anyway?

 Okay so hopefully this will be right -- the method in the package manager
 for determining the default activity is not public (it is
 PackageManagerService.findPreferredActivity() fwiw).  The only suggestion I
 can make is to just call resolveIntentActivity(), which will always only
 return a single activity, either the one matching activity, the current
 default if the user has picked a default, or the intent resolver if there is
 no default.

  choosing the second app in my Intent Resolver dialog and called
  queryIntentActivities again; my default app still showed up second in
  the list and isDefault was set to false.

  Also, the documentation of isDefault says nothing about it being the
  default app, rather just that if the category of the intent was
  DEFAULT - This filter has specified the Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT,
  meaning it would like to be considered a default action that the user
  can perform on this data. (Related question: When does this become
  true?)

  Any other pointers? Will PackageManager.getPreferredActivities help me
  in anyway?

[android-developers] Find Default Activity corresponding to Intent

[George]

PacakgeManager.queryIntentActivities(Intent intent, int flags)  with
flags = MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY returns a list of applications that handle
a particular intent. How do I find the default activity that is chosen
by the user?

Note: The default activity is chosen by the user the first time he is
prompted with a list of applications that handle a particular intent.

[android-developers] Re: MemoryFile between processes

[George]

I have the same question too. What is the use-case for exposing
MemoryFile without an API to get the File descriptor (to pass to
another process) or a way to allow access from another process?

On Jun 23, 2:13 pm, Alec gorje...@gmail.com wrote:
 I tested the MemoryFile between threads just to make sure I was doing
 it correctly.  My hope is to send data between processes using shared
 memory.  It seems to defeat the purpose of shared memory to NOT be
 able to map memory between two separate apps.  That's why they call it
 shared.  Is this going to be supported in the near future?

  Also, fwiw, there is no reason to use a MemoryFile to share between two

   Hi,

   I've been able to send data via shared memory between threads within a
   process using MemoryFile.  I then tried to send data between a service
   and an activity in different processes, but the data did not get
   passed.  The name for each call the MemoryFile's constructor was the
   same.  Is it possible to share data between processes using a
   MemoryFile?

   Two MemoryFiles with the same name don't automatically map to the same
   area.
   Currently the only way to use a MemoryFile across processes is to use
   hidden APIs, which you shouldn't do.

[android-developers] Getting Service interface across processes

[George]

I am trying to create a RemoteService that runs in its own process.
For that I created a service in a separate APK with the corresponding
aidl file.

In another APK,
I copied the aidl file of the Service, so that I have interfaces to
the RemoteService. The corresponding .java file is generated.
In my calling application, I am able to do, Intent i = new Intent
(com.xxx.yyy.RemoteService.REMOTE_SERVICE);
i.setClassName(com.xxx.yyy,
com.xxx.yyy.RemoteService);
ComponentName name = this.startService(i);

Till here, it works fine.

Now, I bind to the RemoteService and in OnServiceConnected
(ComponentName name, IBinder service), and I do

mService = IRemoteService.Stub.asInterface(service);
mService.myMethod()  -- This does not invoke myMethod in the
RemoteService APK, by just executes the myMethod in the proxy class in
the java file generated from the aidl file.

How do I ensure that myMethod() in the separate process is called?

[android-developers] Re: Keyboard Backlight (G1) unavailable in Cupcake 1.5

Milind's comment x1000

The keyboard backlight issue is so bad that I personally use the
virtual keyboard (even for longer emails) because I can at least see
the keys.
