[android-developers] Re: How to intercept when the application is brought to foregroud from background
If your intention is to call another activity in order to perform some work -- do you control that activity? Start it "for result" rather than simply starting it. That way you'll get a callback (with its result) when it finishes. I agree with Mark, you should not care about what activities outside of your control do. You should code as if they don't exist, and if there's some reason to consider the user "logged out", it should not be based on what activity is current. Is there some use case you can think of that justifies taking special action just because the user, for example, opened their messaging app to reply to the message they just received? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: 1-star Market weirdness
I have an app with only 8 ratings, at 4 stars overall. One of the ratings was a 1 star rating, and it included a comment that states my app would be better if some feature it doesn't claim to support was supported, but it's a good app. Let me rephrase that: it's a good app, but it doesn't support X so I'm giving it 1 star. My personal feeling is not that feature X will turn his 1 star rating into 5 stars, but that he didn't intend to rate me in what is effectively a negative manner. Oh well, at least the other raters have the same understanding that I have, with regards to what 1star vs. 5 means. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Have you assigned your APK user id to the system id? One or both of
these may be required (and I don't think you can do the second without

[android-developers] Re: How to identify which client called into a Remote/AIDL service?
I don't know if there's a more proper way to do what you need, but it makes sense that there should be. In the worst case though, you can solve this through your own protocol... you can require clients call an initialization to receive some random value you provide (and store, to associate with them), and all of your other entry points can require that this value be among the parameters.

No prostrating necessary... all you need to do is build your own custom Android port.

Anyone that tells you they learned C++ in 24 hours has still not learned C++.

[android-developers] Re: socket communication between emulator as server and pc as client
After the emulator is started, and before you start your PC application, use this command: adb forward tcp:12345 tcp:12345 Which will forward TCP packets from the PC's IP space into the emulator on port 12345. Then, on the PC, open a connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) on port 12345, and you'll get through.

[android-developers] Re: How to listen on socket port 80?
Socket ports below 1024 require the ROOT user id in order to establish a server. If you're building an application intended to go on random devices, you're not going to have any success opening a server on port 80. This is not an Android constraint, it's the way sockets have been in *nix for a very long time (if not always). It's a security issue to prevent malicious applications from spoofing a service on a machine that doesn't already provide the service.

[android-developers] Re: Creating a hidden partition
You might be able to use the android:sharedUserId attribute in your manifest, and set the value identically in all applications that need access to this data. Doing that, if you have one package designated as the primary one (say, com.example.master), and multiple other packages (sa, com.example.slave1, com.example.slave2), you should be able to have all routines access the "files" area within com.example.master since their user ID's will be the same. This won't make the data invisible on a rooted device, but as long as the device is not rooted, the file access will be limited to your set of applications. Caveats: * Each application must be signed with the same key. * If the application is already installed without a sharedUserId (or with a different sharedUserId), you will not be able to properly update the application. The problem is that /data/data/package.name already exists, with the previous user ID. To update, you need to uninstall the old APK and you may also need to then manually delete the directory -- not an option for an application that's already distributed to user devices.

[android-developers] Re: How to create a file outside the application?
Perhaps the new Backup Agent (in 2.2: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/backup/BackupAgent.html ) can help with this, as that seems to allow an app to store backed up data between installs. That being said, I doubt this can be a guaranteed way to solve your problem, since the data it backs up is probably able to be deleted as well. In my opinion, you should simply require the user obtain trial key from a server that records some device specific info and only gives out the trial based on your criteria. Storing anything on the phone anywhere at all is subject to user deletion. If you plan it well, your trial key will be a token with an expiration, and your app will know how to decode the token and verify that it has not expired. This method would require a network connection only once, and could even allow for the user to obtain the key using a computer if the device hasn't got any internet connection.

[android-developers] Re: Can't we add shared libraries without use of android ndk tools
>From what I've seen, the "library not found" error doesn't only occur
if the library cannot be found, however your first step now should
probably be to see if it should be found... open an "adb shell" to
your platform, and change directory to /data/data/
your.package.name.here. Does the lib directory exist? If so, is
your .so inside it? If the answer to either of these is no, you're not
including the library in the package correctly.
If the file does exist, the failure to load is based on the exported
contents of the library. In this case, you'll want to work with one of
the sample libraries that come with the NDK and compare it to your own
to figure out what's missing.

[android-developers] Re: Can't we add shared libraries without use of android ndk tools
That would likely mean you've compiled your library using an x86
compiler. That will not run on an ARM processor.
You do not have to use the Android makefile or build system to build
your library, but you do need to use the compiler that comes with the
NDK.

[android-developers] Re: How does Android implement copy-as-install and remove-as-uninstall?
I'm not certain that what you say is completely true. I've noticed that manually putting an APK in /data/app makes it available, however there are other things that happen during a correct installation which this method bypasses. Specifically, I've noticed that if the APK includes any native shared libraries, they won't get extracted using this method (rendering an application that depends on this useless). There may or may not be more install tasks which won't be performed via copy.

You cannot link a static native library into a Java application; your only option is a shared object (.so).

[android-developers] Re: Password and SQLite security
I don't believe the sqlite in Android supports database encryption; unless that's wrong, your main option is to encrypt the data you put in your database. That's less than idea though, since it makes it difficult (or impossible) to perform queries that have typical clauses. Another option, probably not very attractive, is to get one of the several sqlite encryption source packages and roll your own sqlite engine using the NDK -- this would remove Android's API from you unless you recreated it on top of your native interface. As to password recovery, something you can consider: at the time you establish the password, also establish a single use recovery password (pseudo-randomly generated). On your website, if the user answers your challenge correctly (answering their personal question, etc.), provide them the single use recovery password. In your application, if the password provided does not match correctly, see if it matches the recovery password and, if it does, simply remove the password protection (and perhaps go into the activity that allows the user to establish a new password -- this is where your single use recovery password would get generated, and provide details on it to your server).

[android-developers] Blocking intents from launching
On the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do. When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front. First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground? Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where startActivity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to uninstall it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Nexus One ADB XP 64
I had issues getting things to work on Win 7 64, but there are a few points of failure you could be hitting. Are you able to install the SDK at all -- meaning you can open its setup and get your GUI to download and install the driver? (If not, you probably need to get a 64 bit version of swt.jar and possibly add an environment variable to point to it.) If you've got the driver installed, when you attach your phone, does the phone show up as an enumerated "Android device" in the Windows device manager? (If not, is debugging enabled on the phone?) If the phone shows up, what does "adb devices" show you? On my system, when using a Nexus One, I had no problem with steps 2 and 3. However, when attaching a Moto Droid, the phone enumerated in step 2, but adb devices failed to see it. To fix this, I used the Windows device manager to completely uninstall the driver on this device (not just disabled), then reinstalled it, and for no explainable reason (since I know I was already up to date with the driver) it worked.

Unless you're on a rooted device (and you've su'd to the root user) I do not believe this will work -- Android maintains proper user/group permissions to prohibit things like one application mingling with an unrelated application's data, and the "adb shell" doesn't get privileges that can circumvent that (without a rooted device).

[android-developers] Re: cannot see attached Droid on Windows 7 or Windows XP
I just went through a similar experience. In my case, I was using a computer that had reliably attached to several different Nexus One's previously, but two different Droids failed to be seen by ADB -- even though the devices enumerated properly (showed up in the device manager as Android devices) and even though the N1's were still able to be seen. I got past this by attaching a Droid, using the windows device manager to delete (not just uninstall, that didn't work) the driver, then the device moved to the "unknown devices" category. From there I told windows to install the driver; I pointed it at the same usb_driver directory that was previously installed, and things worked after that. No difference in the driver that I can see, but clearly something was different since it works now (and still works for N1). On Mar 7, 1:14 am, Arun wrote: > A call to Verizon helped.

[android-developers] Re: Android NDK installation on windows?
It looks as if you're issuing the "build/host-setup.sh" command from a DOS window, instead of a Cygwin BASH window. If so, this is definitely a no-no... use the BASH shell to run the script, and before running it, "cd /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-1.6_r1".

[android-developers] Re: how to run adb shell on windows as super user
Root your phone, perhaps? I'm only guessing; I haven't rooted a device yet. If com.lam.recipedisplay is your own app, you could probably add code to copy the database to/from an alternate location such as /sdcard. If it's not your app, well... this is why you're not given a root shell by default ;) On Feb 28, 6:55 am, Michael Lam wrote: > hi, > > adb -s HT96NLV00520 shell > $ sqlite /data/data/com.lam.recipedisplay/databases/recipe.db > sqlite /data/data/com.lam.recipedisplay/databases/recipe.db > sqlite: permission denied > > is there a way to get around this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Nexus One: A-GPS and setup w/o carrier
I haven't used it extensively outside -- I was curious regarding your question and that prompted me to give it a shot ;) That being said, my initial glance at the screen was difficult enough that I had to shade the sun with my hand to view it properly. Hardly a scientific data set, but I definitely noticed that. On Feb 23, 2:45 pm, greg wrote: > Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Nexus One: A-GPS and setup w/o carrier
I have a Nexus One that has never had a SIM installed... I enabled its GPS and took it outside. It took a while to get a location (as is expected without A-GPS), but it was able to get a fix. When I walked within range of a WiFi I attach to, Google Maps then displayed my accurate location on a map. Note: On this device, I've not even entered my Google account information; I just skipped that part of the initial device power-on.
