[android-developers] Re: Port my iPhone game
If that was in the Top 5, I would do the whole thing in Java. - Juan T. On Jan 6, 6:19 pm, Steve rockthesm...@gmail.com wrote: Hi there, I'm part of a team of developers that have recently released an iPhone/ iPodTouch game via Apple's AppStore (reasonably known as in 500,000 downloads in month, ~50,000 downloads on Christmas day alone, spent most of Christmas in Apple's top 5). The game is written in c++ and is cross platform for iPhone/iPod and Windows PC (there is a small objective-c stub on the iPhone side, but it does little more than call into our mainly generic c++ engine). Our engine has an OpenGL:ES compatible renderer, and OpenAL compatible audio engine, so I hoped it might be relatively straight forward to port this over to Android and get the game running on there. Obviously I've since read through the documentation and newsgroups and there seems to be a lot of people saying they want c++ and various discussions here about hacking support in, or just using Java and forgetting c++ and so on. There seems to be a few directions on can attempt to go in, but essentially I'm looking for advice as to what the best/recommend route would be for me? If my only option is to write the entire game again in Java then it's looking unlikely from our point of view that we'll be able to port to Android - it would just be bonkers for us to have go to through our reasonable sized code base and just convert each function to Java. Is there any form of half-way-house that would let us keep all our 100% generic game code in c++ and just write the code that does the API calls in Java? Currently our code base is split up very much in to a 'game' section and an 'engine' section. The game is 100% generic c++ code that just calls functions from a generic API interface (which is then implemented as needed on various API's/platforms and so on). The game code doesn't call any functions from any of the std/libc libraries, it just makes calls to our engine. I can sense the answer is simply going to be 'No! If you want to write a game for Android then go do it in Java' but as mentioned this really doesn't make any sense from our point of view, as it'd mean ending up having to write the same game twice, just in different languages...

That's all you can do. A service process is 3rd on the importance hierarchy in the system deciding which processes should not be killed. Just behind a 'visible process' such as a paused activity. 3. A service process is one holding a Service that has been started with the startService() method. http://code.google.com/android/intro/lifecycle.html The solution to this problem is to start a Service from the BroadcastReceiver, so the system knows that there is still active work being done in the process. http://code.google.com/android/intro/lifecycle.html - Juan T.

The activity-alias tag appears to enable different manifest attributes for the same activity. AliasActivity is something I'd have to see in an example to really understand it. At least it sounds uncommon. - Juan T. On Oct 16, 4:44 pm, hackbod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The activity-alias tag can only be used to link to another activity implement in the same manifest as the tag appears, and when this alias is launched by the system it just directly launches the target activity so there is no actual implementation behind it. The AliasActivity class is just a standard Activity implementation that is built into the system, which you can use as the implementation for one of your activities. When launched, the system actually launches the AliasActivity in your process, which reads from your manifest the intent description to launch, starts that other activity, and then finishes itself. So if you can use activity-alias, you should to do so, since it is much more efficient. The main purpose of AliasActivity is to be able to generate a .apk containing no code that just provides a top-level application icon for some other activity in the system, typically launching the browser to display a particular web page.

[android-developers] Re: Device unique ID, other than getDeviceId()?
Hello Mark, I'd venture to say that impossible what you're asking. With #1 you would have a problem with privacy/security. With #2, having a storage spot would mean you wouldn't need Content Providers. It's intuitive for there to be a permission placed on this info. So just do the Overkill, putting a permission in there shouldn't be a problem. - Juan T. On Oct 15, 5:58 pm, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need a unique ID for each phone, just enough to distinguish it from any other Android phone. In theory, TelephonyManager#getDeviceId() would be fine, except that it requires READ_PHONE_DATA as a permission, and that seems overkill. The catch is that I need this ID to be cross-application; two applications on the same device need to get the same ID. So, two questions: 1. Is there some other API in Android-land that returns a unique value for each phone, that I just haven't found yet? One that does not require any special permission to access? I even considered a MAC address, but Android doesn't offer NetworkInterface#getHardwareAddress(), unfortunately. 2. If the answer to #1 is no, silly, is there a spot (that I just haven't found yet) where I could tuck a world-readable UUID that could serve this purpose? It doesn't seem like there's any good cross-application storage spot outside of the SD card, and I can't count on all devices having one.

[android-developers] Re: phone to phone applications?
Mark, I think the loss of XMPP-like capability is pretty big. Mike Cleron in the youtube Androidology said that he thinks the compelling apps (mashups) include that capability. I think it really replaces the server infrastructure. If you build a server infrastructure now, then soon your app won't need it. How does that work? :) Well, you can't really build the app properly yet. ..But it's good that it will be more built into the system, attached to android and not just to a Google address. - Juan T.

It has been stated that the Bluetooth APIs were taken out due to lack of time to get the API stabilized in time: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/08/some-information-on-ap... Peer-to-peer Internet communication should be as possible on Android as it is on any platform -- difficult with absolutely zero server assistance, but not too tough if you can at least use a server for obtaining the IP address of the peer(s) to communicate with. Of course, there are issues of firewalls, NAT traversal, mobile carrier terms of service, and security to deal with, none of which are trivial. I find it hard to believe android would be launched without some kind of phone to phone communication support? If the Android core team committed to doing everything everyone wanted before 1.0, we'd never have any Android devices, because they would never be done. You want built-in P2P. Some other guy wants built-in infrared. Still others want A2DP profiles. Yet others want all those API features hackbod gets to say aren't available in 1.0. And so on. The Android core team had to draw a line *somewhere*.

[android-developers] Re: Best practice - buttons or menu items?
A button is fundamentally attached to the UI. A Go search button is attached to a textbox, or a start and stop in a stopwatch defines the UI. Otherwise it's a menu item. - Juan T.

I was wondering what others thing about this. Are there general guidelines or logical approaches that people are using? I apologize up front if this is a silly question, but it comes up again and again in my own head, and I haven't found any documentation or direction on it really. I notice that the built in contacts app, for example, has the sort of main actions like new contact, edit contact, save, discard, etc, as menu items. But it also has Add Icon as both a menu item and as an on screen button. I personally think it makes the most sense to use the menu for high level actions, so save and add and so on make sense in the menu. But maybe that is subjective? Is it just whatever works best with the screen real estate and layout, etc. Seems like the menu is faster/more intuitive if you can use it, but with the d-pad all the on screen buttons work too whether or not the device is touch capable, and being on screen makes the choices more obvious. What to the UI gurus and Android devs think are some best practices in terms of making button/menu choices? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I understand that maybe the abortBroadcast is not working for SMS broadcast intents, because of security reasons (for example we could abort the broadcast of all SMS messages ). Is there another way for an application to to receive SMS messages in an exclusive way (the rest of applications do not receive it)? 2. Is there any other way to communicate information from a external server to the application in the phone? For example, In other projects with other phones we have used transparent wappush to implement that communication..Does android support wappush protocol? We would not like to implement an always open connection in the phone application (where the phone acts like a server), because that implies that we must have a list with all the IPs of the phones in order to communicate with them..that complicates a lot the implementation...

[android-developers] Feature Request: Virtual Contacts Content Provider
The problem with Contacts in mobile devices is that there are two types of Contacts. One is what I call Personal Contacts (family and friends) and the other is Virtual Contacts (social app friends/ multiplayer games). The Virtual Contacts don't go in the same place as Personal Contacts. So where do Virtual Contacts go? Some apps will have Virtual Contacts in the browser (on the web) and others within the mobile app on the device. So speaking of those that are part of a mobile app on the device, where should virtual contacts go? If you put virtual and personal contacts together, separating virtual contacts with a column/field value, what happens when an app simply requests all contacts considering them all personal contacts? So I don't see how a group field would work. So I think one has to set up a totally new Content Provider for Virtual Contacts. Either from scratch for each application or unified and having that group field so new apps can just use the 'Virtual Contacts Content Provider'. So can we have that? A 'Virtual Contacts Content Provider'? - Juan T. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Feature Request: Virtual Contacts Content Provider
Yes, that's the point, not to mix them. So two different contact providers separates the two different types of contacts. If the other type of contact provider (not for personal contacts) called the Virtual Contacts Content Provider isn't provided, then developers have to make their own content provider for the users virtual (social space contacts, etc.) contacts that are part of their app. So it's either each app builds their own virtual contacts Content Provider -or- there is a standard Content Provider for these virtual contacts.

[android-developers] Re: Are you satisfied or disappointed with the level of support from Google, for Android?
That's important for the Android team and for the Open Handset Alliance and its members, that's important for Google. That's also important for the developer community and for the end users. Hello Jean-Baptiste, I suggest that the aim be for the phones to come out in 2009. If everyone is patient, then that will be a proof of cooperation. The Android Team doesn't needs phones for 2008. Neither does the OHA. And there can be more Developer Challenges. More Developer Challenges would appear to be important in two ways. To perfect Android and also for Google promotion. ATT seeks to depart more away from Google apps which is reasonable for them. However, Google has the Cloud and that Cloud can come out in creative ways through a couple more Developer Challenges. At the risk of being melodramatic, Android is the most important piece of software in human history. I really don't think it should be rushed. Everyone should be patient and that Patience will pay off. - Juan On Mar 29, 12:28 pm, Jean-Baptiste Queru [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (Notice: I'm a Google Software Engineer working on Android). One aspect which I hope is reasonably clear in everybody's minds is that getting devices available is really at the top of the priority list for everyone involved in Android. That's important for the Android team and for the Open Handset Alliance and its members, that's important for Google. That's also important for the developer community and for the end users. From that point of view, every day that passes without devices out there hurts the entire Android ecosystem, and therefore has a high cost. Because of that, whenever anyone has to choose between doing something that directly helps ship those first devices and something that doesn't directly help, the latter option has to carry a very high value in order to outweigh for the cost of delaying the first devices. That's why the SDK isn't as polished as it could be, that's why Google employees aren't as present on those forums as they could be: it would distract from the primary goal of shipping devices in 2008. It might sound surprising to many, but Google only has a finite number of people who are currently familiar enough with Android to be able to make a significant difference on either the ship date or the SDK and the developer community. It takes time and it takes money to grow a team, Google has a significant amount of money but remains careful about how they spend it like any well-managed company, and they can't do anything about time: even by having people work hard, there's always a limit to how much work any single person can achieve every day. All that explains why you're not seeing dozens of engineers spending several hours every day answering questions and helping people on the forums, or preparing a new SDK every other week: at the end of the timeline toward the first devices, that would result in delays that would be counted in weeks or even months. Having to choose is painful, because we'd all like to get the best of both worlds. You can't have your (proverbial) cake and eat it too, and right now we're a bitstuck between a (proverbial) rock and a (proverbial) hard place. Back to the issue of the SDK, I think that you've put the finger on one of one of the aspects that are hard to balance: how early and how often should it be released. Too early, and developers get some software that is too unstable and too far from the final product to be valuable. Not early enough, and developers don't have time to get familiar with it, provide valuable feedback and have applications ready for the first device. Too often, and developers will spend too much time chasing porting their code from one release to another and the whole ecosystem will be confused about what works and what doesn't in every release. Not often enough, and some developers will bestuckfor weeks on bugs that may have been fixed but be unavailable. And, like I said earlier, early and often have a negative impact on the ship date. During the software development cycle of a framework, you're likely to see 3 phases: bringup, unstable, and stabilization. During the bringup phase, the software improves quickly, but it is too rough and too far from its final shape to be valuable to many people - this is a phase that typically sees frequent releases to a very small number of close partners. During the unstable phase, the framework is large enough and is used by enough applications that it can't change quite as quickly as during the bringup, but it is still getting some very significant changes. This is the phase during which the release strategy changes from frequent limited releases to infrequent broad releases. This is the phase that M3 and M5 came from (as an example, you've all seen how the UI had changed between M3 and M5). Finally, there's a stabilization phase, where the framework gets fewer and fewer changes and gets closer and
[android-developers] Re: Can a GTalk message receiver know who sent the intent?
Peli, My guess is that some kind of security layer will be added to the uses- permission, etc. in the AndroidManifest. - Juan On Apr 2, 9:43 pm, Peli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for this information. I had not found it in the documentation. Regarding the security issue, both, Juan and you, suggest to perform whatever security checks are necessary for my needs. But let me ask again: I'm not worried about the intents that I have control about. I could program them securely, maybe even exchanging public encryption keys through the bundle. I'm more worried about intents available on the phone that have never been designed or have never been intended to be used through GTalk. As an example, there could be a 3rd party intent that takes a picture with the internal camera and sends it to a contact email address automatically. It might have been meant as an internal thing within another application that was never designed to work with GTalk, so no special security checks were necessary. But it seems to me that any person that is on my GTalk's friend's list can launch that intent on my phone, without any restrictions, and send random photos to their email address. This model suggests, that each IntentReceiver should check whether its bundle contains a from field, and if it does, it should be more careful about processing things. I (and I guess most developers) have written most intents so far without this check. Have I introduced security holes? Or is it really my (the programmer's) task to secure every intent against unwanted launches by GTalk messages, even if the intents are never designed to be launched by GTalk?

Of course, the sender has to be part of the buddy list of the receiver for this to work, but if this is the case, it seems the IntentReceiver will not obtain any information about who sent this intent (unless the sender is kind enough to put this information into the bundle). I have the following concerns: * Once I have rights to send intents to a phone, I could send arbitrary intents and trigger arbitrary events on anther person's phone. * The intent receivers do not know who sent the intent. If this information is passed in the bundle, a sender could pretend to be a different sender. There should probably be additional permission settings on the receiver's side which determine which intents can be received from which sender.

[android-developers] Re: Problem using XMPP demo in latest SDK emulator m5 rc 14
Hello Megha, That doesn't work for me. The only thing I can think of is addition to the buddy list. I created 2 gmail accounts. I put them into the separate emulator instances. I put the second account (aligned with the second emulator) into the first account by way of putting the email address into the email field of one of the Contacts. I even saved this contact as a favorite. Both emulator instances have a check mark for XMPP in the menu. I go to the first emulator instance and go to the sample app. I put in the email attached to the other emulator instance (same one as in contacts in this instance) and press enter as the button is enabled. Alas, nothing happens on the other emulator. - Juan On Feb 19, 9:33 pm, Megha Joshi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Please follow the steps below to send a message using GTalkDataMessageReceiver demo : 1) Start two emulator instances. 2) In Eclipse DDMS perspective Devices , check that both the emulator devices are online. 3) Sign into the Dev ToolsDevelopment Settings XMPP Settings of the first emulator with your gmail id (say [EMAIL PROTECTED]). 4) Sign into the second emulator with a second separate gmail id (say [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ([EMAIL PROTECTED] should be in [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s buddy list). 5) In the first emulator go to ApiDemosAppsServiceGTalk Data Message Sender and type in [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6) A message window appears in the second emulator as it receives message from step 4 above.

Sorry, I posted from another thread and my response ended up on this thread. I don't have APIDemos running on the second instance. - Juan On Mar 25, 6:14 pm, jtaylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Megha, That doesn't work for me.
