[android-developers] Re: "ScrollView can host only one direct child" Error

[rich friedel]

You need to put a single child element such as a LinearLayout or 
RelativeLayout inside the ScrollView then put the buttons inside of that 
layout view.

So it looks like...
ScrollView
+LinearLayout <- One Child in the ScrollView
++Button
++Button

Re: [android-developers] Re: splash screen

[rich friedel]

Yeah, create an 
AsyncTaskand 
do your loading/building stuff in that. You can even post a "message" 
back for the dialog in the 
onProgressUpdate()
.

When it is done 
onPostExecute()will
 be called where you can call your startActivity(Intent).

I will warn you though, use due diligence when implementing AsyncTask: 
https://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=android+development+asynctask+crash+when+rotating+screen
 if 
you destroy the activity that the AsyncTask is tied to then recreate it (as 
in a screen rotation) the AsyncTask won't know what to do and throw an 
exception.

[android-developers] Re: splash screen

[rich friedel]

Just make an activity that is your splash screen then do the loading in the 
background. When it's done send a message back to the activity and move on. 

You could also create a "loading"/"setting things up"/"building your data 
spinner" dialog.

[android-developers] Re: SQLite concurrency

[rich friedel]

@Zsolt Vasvari Just a quick thought for you... Consider closing stuff like 
the database/database adapter in your onPause() method of the Activity. 
onPause is always called where onDestroy is called whenever, thus the 
database might still be "open" when it is expected to be closed. I tend to 
close close, unregister, etc.. stuff in the onPause and open, register them 
in the onResume methods.

[android-developers] Re: External images in the notification area.

[rich friedel]

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal

How are you gaining access to the external images?

Are you sure that the files and storage actually are available to your 
application?

Before you do any work with the external storage, you should always call 
getExternalStorageState()
 to 
check whether the media is available.

If not, is the device plugged in with USB? 

Caution: External files can disappear if the user mounts the external 
storage on a computer or removes the media...

If that is the way you are doing it then I would (as others have) recommend 
reading up on how to listen and respond to click events. I see absolutely no 
reason to use an if/else statement when the listener is tied directly to the 
button.

Also you can make the ENTIRE view clickable:

Am I a naughty boy for wanting to use AbsoluteLayout? 

Not if you need it... do you *really* need it or will RelativeLayout work 
better?
Here is a good article discussing this topic...

 Also, is there a way to make Eclipse stop crossing out my layout code? 

Don't use depreciated classes, methods, etc...

Also, understand that ALL iPhones have, more or less, a fixed screen 
size/density. With Android you might have one device where the screen 
density is small and one where it is huge. Imagine what you app will look 
like on not only a very low end device (MetroPcs Huwai Ascend) or on a 10+" 
tablet. Will it look the same, or as 'the same' as you can get?

@Override

public void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState ) {

super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );

setContentView( R.layout.main );


mAudioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService( AUDIO_SERVICE );

checkIfPhoneIsSilent();


// You can wrap your listener with a method however, I find it is 
better to init my

// listeners in the onStart method. See the Activity lifecycle

// Example below in the onStart() method...

// setButtonClickListner();


Log.d( "SilentModeApp", "This is a test" );

}


@Override

public void onStart() {

Button toggleButton = (Button)findViewById( R.id.toggleButton );


toggleButton.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() {


public void onClick( View v ) {

// Do some click stuff here...

}

} );

}

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask question

[rich friedel]

It will be ready to kill after onPostExecute() is called.

You can short-circuit this by calling cancel() from within your 
doInBackground() method then checking isCancelled() and if true stop 
whatever your doing and go straight to onPostExecute().

>From 
>AsyncTask
:
Cancelling a task

A task can be cancelled at any time by invoking 
cancel(boolean).
 
Invoking this method will cause subsequent calls to 
isCancelled()
 to 
return true. After invoking this method, 
onCancelled(Object),
 
instead 
ofonPostExecute(Object)
 will 
be invoked after 
doInBackground(Object[])
 returns. 
To ensure that a task is cancelled as quickly as possible, you should always 
check the return value of 
isCancelled()
 periodically 
from 
doInBackground(Object[])

[android-developers] Re: Splash + Background loading design pattern

[rich friedel]

As far as the first, when it finishes just have the app move on 
automatically to the next activity and finish the splashscreen.

The second is a bit more complex... if you think that there would be any 
reason where interrupting incoming data would be a bad thing, then you will 
want to consider using a Service to handle it. Then, when it is finished 
move to the next activity and retrieve the data from the service. This way 
if something happens to your splashscreen activity your app can continue to 
run in the background doing whatever it needs to do and you won't lose the 
network connection and/or data.

I would leave the button out of the splashscreen altogether or, at worst, 
enable it only after all the data has come in.

Re: [android-developers] Is there a best (or worst) time to release apps?

[rich friedel]

Sir, I am sorry that you feel as if I "took a swipe" at you personally as 
you mentioned in another post. I was merely saying that this subject 
(Android Marketplace usage research) was probably better asked on the 
Android Marketplace groups forum. I still feel that way. If others do not or 
choose to reply to off-topic or semi off-topic posts, then so be it.

Anyway, after looking around at your other posts I feel as I did in fact 
post properly. Why? As most of your posts seem to be, this post also seems 
like only an attempt to once again be some sort of sounding board for yet 
another complaint about Google, Android and/or the Marketplace after 
cloaking it in innocuous questions/comments. With all that said, I still 
think you should take your negativity over there to the Marketplace people 
and let them have it :)

You did not ask for "image aligning" anything... you asked for something like

good enough.

To answer your question, you are going to need the Mercurial plug-in for 
Eclipse to pull the repo so you can work on it. The best one is called 
MercurialEclipse http://www.javaforge.com/project/HGE also you might want to 
look into TortiseHG as a Mercurial client for your desktop, it integrates right 
into your right click menu.

AndEngine is a pretty decent game engine. It'll get you up and running making 
stuff happen pretty quick.

[android-developers] Re: Issues with 3.2

[rich friedel]

Happens to me all the time on the Droid2 (2.2.1) and the DroidX (both 2.2.1 
and 2.3.3)... and it could be any number of ad heavy sites that it happens 
on... ESPN, WSJ, New York Times, Techcrunch, etc... there is 
no consistency as to when it just... closes (if I am lucky I get a FC 
dialog)

[android-developers] Re: How to know what internal process runs an application

[rich friedel]

You should know if it either started via the Activity or the Service. I 
don't see an issue, or maybe I am just confused. It is not like the app 
magically starts without you, the developer, explicitly knowing how it 
started. You created the entry points from which the app can start. From 
there you pass some sort of data to let whatever is in the hierarchy know 
that something has happened it responds accordingly.

[android-developers] Re: Data Transmission

[rich friedel]

Or even better...

http://www.google.com/#q=Android+development+json+or+xml

There are some real eye opening test cases out there that show that json is 
faster up to a point then XML is king as far as parsing goes.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Help needed for dealing with NullPointerException when calling functions on a service just after binding it

[rich friedel]

I solved a similar issue by broadcasting that my service is actually active 
and running and then if my activity is active it receives that broadcast and 
does what it needs to do. This way the Activity always "knows" when the 
service is active.

The onBind is not applicable to my situation as my Activity and Service are 
independent of each other. (Activity starts/stops Service but Service does 
not need Activity for anything else)

Re: [android-developers] Intent with sensitive param

[rich friedel]

@Mark That is extremely interesting! Just like you, I assumed that intent 
extras were private. This begs the question... What to do then to keep 
intent extras private? Better yet, how should we pass sensitive data in an 
intent extra in such a way that the data remains secure?

For example, in the OP's question they use the example of a password. Now 
you can encrypt that password before sending as an intent extra thus any 
nefarious app would not actually collect the "real" password. However, if 
the receiving end expects an encrypted password then all the bad app has to 
do is use the encrypted password string and voila it has access.

You will probably want to start with a

then 
do what you need to do using some sort of interwebs communication... REST,

Re: [android-developers] Where should I place the EULA check?

[rich friedel]

I'm with treking and mark... It is just not worth the headache ATM. 
My philosophy is that if corporations such as Adobe, Microsoft, etc.., who 
are (collectively) way more badass than I am (individually) cannot secure 
their software then I don't have an ice cube's chance in hell of doing it 
either.

Now this is not to say that if they fixed LVL up and made it less 
cumbersome, thus less effort in applying it, I wouldn't consider it as a 
viable option. Kinda like a lock... it's only there to keep honest people 
honest ;)

[android-developers] Re: What layout the normal 2.3 WVGA 800x480 emulator use?

[rich friedel]

You mention creating the files... did you put them in their respective 
directories? The directories that house your drawables have to be named 
specifically. e.g. drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, etc... Also your xml layout 
files can be named anything.

My understanding is this... the system will determine which drawables to use 
by using the screen resolution and then using the appropriate drawables 
defined by the directory they are located in. Your layout will usually stay 
the same, thus you should use dip/dp so that your layout scales properly.

[android-developers] Google checkout? Shipping paid apps?

[rich friedel]

Sort of... it will show then, for me at least, there is an ~2 hour delay then 
the transaction will finalize. From there all you need to do is review and 
archive.

Personally, I send an email to each person thanking them then archive that way 
I know who I've thanked and who I haven't.

You shouldn't have to worry about shipping at all for your market app
