[android-developers] bitmap drawable resource gravity ignored in layer list?
I'm trying to build a seek bar with text in/under it to make something akin to the slide to unlock bar on the iPhone. I figured I'd change the style of the seek bar and added: layer-list ... item android:id=@android:id/background layer-list item shape corners android:radius=10dip / gradient android:startColor=#88747674 android:centerColor=#885a5d5a android:centerY=0.25 android:endColor=#889d9e9d android:angle=270 / /shape /item item bitmap android:src=@drawable/slide_to_finish_label android:gravity=fill_horizontal/ /item /layer-list /item ... /layer-list slide_to_finish_label is a 9-patch PNG. The default tile mode is listed as none. When I use this nested layer-list as the background of my app it works as I expect. My bitmap shows up stretched side to side but not up and down. When I use this as the style for the seek bar the bitmap shows up not stretched and repeating. Changing the gravity attribute has no affect on the repeating. I thought it might have something to do with the nesting of the layer list, like that the item in the parent-list is being repeated. The guide on Drawable Resources seemingly warns on this issue and suggests using a bitmap to control stretching and repeating but even when I reduce the item to just a bitmap (not a nested layer-list) gravity still has no affect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: bitmap drawable resource gravity ignored in layer list?
I was going to go that route but SeekBar does 99% of what I need. You guys did most of the work, keeping the moving part horizontally stable, animations, etc. I literally had to add 6 lines of code to get what I needed logically and then add some style. I should have made the question clearer. The meat of the question is about layer-lists with bitmaps. Which would be the same if I just wanted to style a horizontal progress bar with an image. So is it expected that the gravity attribute be ignored or do I need to specify something elsewhere to not have the images repeating?

[android-developers] AnimationDrawable with custom Drawables
I'm trying to draw a gauge on the screen with information from various sensors. I have a class that extends Drawable and a custom view that during construction creates a new AnimationDrawable and sets the only frame to my custom Drawable. I then start the AnimationDrawable from my Activity onWindowFocusChanged method. My custom Drawable onDraw method is only called once though. Is that by design (as in onDraw is called for each frame once and it's cached and shown over and over) or am I doing something wrong? [code from custom view's constructor] _gaugeAnimation = new AnimationDrawable(); _gaugeAnimation.setOneShot(false); setBackgroundDrawable(_gaugeAnimation); GaugeDrawable gauge = new GaugeDrawable(); gauge.setTargetValue(100); _gaugeAnimation.addFrame(gauge, 500); _gaugeAnimation.setVisible(true, false); --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: AnimationDrawable with custom Drawables
In testing my cached theory, I discovered that you need to have at least two frames for the animation to continuously loop. When I added the gauge object again onDraw was continuously called. That makes me think that I should be using something else for what I'm doing. I'm basically making a drawn speedometer getting speeds from the GPS. Each time the GPS updates I want to perform a smooth animation to the change in speed. I thought I could create a Drawable that contained it's current value and a target value, then add it to an animation that would take care of calling onDraw continuously until the current and target matched. Is there a better way? On Jul 25, 10:33 am, nkijak nki...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to draw a gauge on the screen with information from various sensors.

[android-developers] Recommended way to transfer /data file to another G1?
This isn't strictly developer related so I apologize, but I know the Android staff read these. I have to get my G1 replaced due to a hardware failure with the trackball. It is on R30 and the replacement will be on R30 I would guess so I can't jailbreak. How else can I get the /data directory off one phone and on to the other? I don't want to have to go to the Market and re-download everything and create export files for all my apps then import them again. I have a feeling that's what the suggestions are going to be as that was what the T-Mobile rep told me to do. I find it very annoying that there's no way to get to the internal memory. At least on the iPhone/Touch iTunes can write to that partition/directory to make this sort of thing a non-issue.

[android-developers] Re: Thought's On Android CupCake?
How can you say it has nothing to do with Google. They brought Android to T-Mobile. For them to not know that cell companies where going to lock it down would be ignorance on their part. Plus you act like there was going to be a Dev phone since the beginning. How was anyone supposed to know that the G1 wouldn't be the only phone. Why was the dev phone released so many months later? There could have been mention of it. I'm not saying T-Mobile isn't without blame, but to totally dismiss Google of everything is illogical. Where's the Google web client to sync my apps?

[android-developers] Re: locationmanager,getLatitude function
Hello, I updated your code on that site to be more correct. You should stick with the static variable instead of hardcoding the string gps. You get a null pointer because you have to provide a location first, meaning run the KML, then you can call getLastKnownLocation. When the emulator starts, without being given a coordinate, it has no last location. So try running the KML then running your app. If you are trying to get continuous updates of location you should implement LocationListener instead.

[android-developers] Re: Issues with GPS application on the actual G1 phone
I wrote a little app to just display GPS information and this is what I did: LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 500l, 10l,this); this being my Activity that implements LocationListner where this bit of code lives in the onCreate method.

I was travelling about 300 mph just sitting in my backyard :) I put an activity out to list the available locationproviders from the location manager and got these two: provider 0 network with a class of android.location.DummyLocationProvider provider 1 gps with a class of android.location.DummyLocationProvider It looks clear to me that even on the actual phone, I'm only seeing fake providers. All of the samples I could find to this point talk about just using the gps provider by name, but that apparently isn't going to work on the real device. I noticed when I used Google Maps, upon startup a satellite dish icon showed up in the status bar with a signal strength for the GPS. When Maps was shut down that icon went away. Apparently maps is using a different real provider that I can't see through the location manager. A bit long winded, but hopefully this is all clear. I'm looking for any guidance on how a real application on a real device should properly locate the right GPS provider for getting location information from.

[android-developers] Re: Attaching the Eclipse debugger to actual device
That possibly did the trick. I had to restart the phone. Maybe for the Debug when USB thing to take effect?

I can select Debug from the run menu and it will compile and launch the app on the phone but eclipse never enters the debug perspective (or even asks to). The phone sits with a Waiting for Debugger message dialog. When I enter the Android perspective I can see the device attached, see log entries, take screenshots but I cannot see process listings and restarting adb results in 11 failed attempts to connect. Is there some other configuration I need to adjust in eclipse, perhaps a port number?

[android-developers] Re: MAC address?
Wouldn't you need some other unique ID? Wouldn't the MAC address would be different if the user was on wi-fi or the cell network?

According to the docs, Android 1.0r1 lacks this method. Anyone know another way to get the MAC address of an Android device?
