[android-developers] Re: Display Cropped Camera Preview
Four years later, I would like to konw if you have found a good way to show a cropped camera preview? I am struggling with this for a couple of days. On Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:29:07 PM UTC+3, Max Salley wrote: I'm working on an app that requires the user to be able to read some text that's in the camera's preview images. The camera has plenty of resolution for the range I'm looking at, but when it's shrunk down to fit on the phone's display it's completely unusable. What I want to do is just display a subset of the preview images, but display them at the native resolution of the image, rather than the scaled down image. I tried Camera.Parameters.setPreviewSize, but it seems to have no effect (giving it (1, 1) is the same as giving it (100, 100), which is the same as some rational value). I also tried capturing the image using Camera.PreviewCallback.onPreviewFrame andconverting it to a bitmap then using a canvas from a SurfaceView to display a portion of the bitmap, but the SDK has no way to convert from the camera's format to bitmap, and it seems that doing such things in the preview callback is unworkably expensive. How should I draw a subpicture at native resolution rather than the entire image scaled to fit the phone's screen?

Re: [android-developers] Re: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED not sent after power off? (works on restart)

[android-developers] Re: Sole Trader in Germany?
Thanks for all the info. Indeed, what is the perfect way to handle this is to open a business bank account in the company's name. And I think UK is the most appropriate for this. But it will take time and it will cost. We can't really afford it right now because we're in an early stage of our business and are bootstrapping. But we'll move in this direction.

I don't think that you and your company are at any risk here, but your German friend might be.

[android-developers] Re: Sole Trader in Germany?
The entire business is located in Romania (which is in EU). Only the bank account is in Germany and the owner is a regular guy who lives in Germany. And the account is a Giro account at the Baden Wurtembergische Bank. Basically, we'd like from time to time to transfer the money from the German bank account to our Romanian bank account and to pay all our taxes in Romania and not bother at all with Germany. However, we don't know if maybe the German bank raises some flags to the local authorities because of the money transfers from Google Checkout to the German bank account.

[android-developers] Re: Scenario where initLoader() does not call onLoadFinished()
As I said, the initial bugs were fixed by revision 4 of ACL. However, there is still a bug present in both the ACL and Android. I've tested it with Android version 3.2 and 4.0. Check out the updated project at https://github.com/kaciula/BugRetain I think this is a pretty important bug. The scenario is this: From activity A, go to activity B, switch once the orientation and go back to activity A. As a consequence of this bug, I can't write an app with fragments that use setRetainInstance and is available in both orientations. I really need a workaround until the Android guys fix the issue.

[android-developers] Re: Scenario where initLoader() does not call onLoadFinished()
It turns out that the new revision fixed part of the problem but the bug still remains in some cases. If you take the code I posted and run it, press the button to launch the new activity, switch orientations only once and then press BACK, it shows the wrong value. The idea is to press BACK from the second activity while it's in a different orientation than the initial activity (if that makes sense). For example, activity A is in portrait, press button, switch orientation of activity B to landscape, press BACK and then enjoy the bug. Looking more deeply at this, it seems that the problem appears only if onLoaderReset() is called. So, if onLoaderReset() is called, subsequent calls to initLoader() launches/reconnects the loader but onLoadFinished() is never again called. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

However, if I compile it using API Level 7 but run it on a tablet emulator I still can reproduce the problem.

[android-developers] Re: Scenario where initLoader() does not call onLoadFinished()
Indeed, the loader manager destroy() method is called and the field mDestroyed is set to true. After this, the loader manager is not functional anymore. In onLoadComplete() it exits if mDestroyed is set to true. So i guess the problem is that the loader manager for that fragment is destroyed but our fragment is still alive. I would venture to say that this is a bug. It would be helpful if we find a workaround. I have a big app with a lot of fragments using loaders. For some, I removed setRetainInstance(true) but for others I must use setRetainInstance(true). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Scenario where initLoader() does not call onLoadFinished()
I have a simple activity with one fragment. The fragment uses a CursorLoader to load some data from a ContentProvider. I just call initLoader() inside onActivityCreated() and I populate the UI in onLoadFinished(). If I switch orientations, everything works as expected (onLoadFinished() is called again). Now, if I move to a new activity, press BACK to get back to my first activity and then switch orientations, I see that onLoaderReset() is called and then, in onActivityCreated(), although initLoader() is called, onLoadFinished() is never called after that. And as a consequence, my UI shows no data. After doing some testing, I see that this problem appears only if I use setRetainInstance(true) in my fragment. So what's the deal? And how can I fix this without removing setRetainInstance(true)? Do I have to do something in onLoaderReset()? Do I have to somehow give the loader the new activity as the context?
