I'll have to look at the inheritance chain about being able to work 
FragmentActivity in. I have a position and expansion state tracking 
object sitting between my activity and ExpandableListActivity.

And, you can still use a ContentObserver to let you know when the
stuff you queried in your managedQuery() is altered(). It's just not
automatic (IIRC).

Ok, now that I know what to look for, I can probably figure it out. This 
may be the simplest solution. Thanks.

Use an ordered broadcast to notify your foreground activity, and
possibly display a Notification if the activity is not in the
foreground:

http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/08/11/activity-notification-ordered-broadcast.html

Here is a sample demonstrating this:

https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Broadcast/Ordered
I'll have a look and probably have some questions after I do. I already 
optionally send a notify that a new sample was stored.

Or, have your activity get its data from the service via a
ContentProvider, and use a ContentObserver (which happens
automagically if you are using a CursorLoader).

Ah, I'm coding to API level 8 so I'm using a managedQuery. It seemed 
like a lot of devices would be cut out if I went to a higher API level. 
I guess I'm feeling the frustrations of the moving platform now.

Re: [android-developers] Re: CursorAdapter? or OtherAdapter?

2012-03-04 Thread Ted Scott

What Mark was asking is why are rows you do not need included in the
results pointed to by the cursor.

The cursor is loaded by a DB query. That is where you should apply
filtering, etc and the cursor should contain only what you need to
display at that moment. If your cursor has extra data, then adjust your
query to return only the rows you need. If you need several different
queries you can use more than one URI in your content provider so that
you map one URI to one query.

Choosing between an ArrayAdapter and a CursorAdapter really should be
driven by where the data are stored and how big of a list you have.
Without more knowlege of your app, it's hard to know which would be
better, but in general it is silly to unload a cursor into an array for
display when you can just use the cursor unless you have a compelling
reason not to.

Re: [android-developers] nested listview

2012-02-26 Thread Ted Scott

If I understand what you mean, then yes, except it is all handled in the 
ExpandableListView. You provide 2 lists, via some adapter, one is the 
parent list and the other a child list which you get by over-riding a 
getChildren method, depending how your lists are obtained.  (In an 
implementation I did, I use a DB to back the lists, so I use a 
SimpleCursorTreeAdapter and I override getChildrenCursor) Have a look at 
the expandable list examples in the api demos, there are 3 data source 
flavors in there.

That's one error and certainly explains the class not found exception.

I'm not sure but you also might need a default category for the activity 
definition.



What do you mean by you have to debug as an Android? Of course you have 
to run the code on a device to debug it. Also you won't be able to 
attach the debugger to your receiver because it will fire before the 
DDMS is attached.

I don't think there is a definitive answer here, only reasonable ones.

For example, if the widget for which you are writing the listener will
only appear in this Activity, then having the Activity itself
implement the interface is probably fine. But, say for example you're
creating some layout that appears on all of your activities (maybe a
common group of buttons or something like that), then I would create a
separate reusable listener class that saves you from having to
duplicate code.
Good point. I don't have a particular problem starting out with the 
anonymous class early in the project. When it's needed elsewhere It's a 
straight forward refactoring to extract the class. I'm pretty new to 
Android, at first glance, I'm not sure how useful this would be in the 
button group. Wouldn't each button need its own listener? Wouldn't there 
be an activity associated with them?

The compile error:
* PiesOfCodActivity cannot be resolved to a type

The error essentially is that the RxBcast cannot be aware of an
external app that exists on an Android somewhere.  The
PiesOfCodActivity is a retitled "helloworld" that works just fine on
my Android.
Perhaps there is some sort of intent construction where the app-to-be-
is a string that represents future runtime intentions.
Thanks for all of your good thoughts and help.
Of course not you put it in a different application. That's not what I 
thought you asked about, I thought you wanted an app that would launch 
at boot. Did you get it working with the receiver in the same package?


To launch another activity outside your package you need different 
information in the intent. One way is to specify the package of the 
other app:
Intent si = new 
Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).setPackage("com.hootinholler.PiesOfCod");


The other app needs to have an action MAIN defined in its manifest and 
it also needs a category DEFAULT



I've tested this here with one application that only has the 
PiesOfCodActivity in the PiesOfCod package and another app that only has 
the RxBcast in a Pies package and constructs the intent as above.


Really this didn't take that much to solve given a little reading and 
experimentation. I agree with Tre that you should probably read up on 
Intents and how they get created and resolved.


Also I don't think it will be a good idea to have an app with no 
launchable activity as it could make it hard for users to uninstall

You know I explained where to get the information you were missing is

far more complicated embedded app to test, judging by the level of your
questions and failure to understand or even explore the material given
to you, I predict you will be bricking that device.

Nonetheless for the comedic value I give you Pies Of Cod, or at least
the parts you asked for. Yes this code executes and launches the app
Pies Of Cod when it is in a proper app environment. It took me about
half an hour to cobble together. Of course you'll want to adjust the
imports and packages to fit your environment so I omitted them. The view
is the main.xml you get from an eclipse generated hello world app.

First make a new android app named PiesOfCod in your workspace. Launch
it and make sure it runs.

Then you need to create a receiver class:
public class RxBcast extends BroadcastReceiver {

  private static final String TAG = "RxBcast";
  private static final int NOTE_ID = 1;

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i) {
  // check and handle registerable actions
  String act = i.getAction();
  Log.d(TAG, "Rxd "+ act );
  if( act.equals(i.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED) ) {
  Intent si = new Intent(c, PiesOfCodActivity.class);
  si.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  c.startActivity(si);
  }
  } // onReceive

}

Then change the strings:



Pies Of Cod!
PiesOfCod


Then adjust the manifest, yes you will have to use your package names,
etc. mine won't work for you:

























Build it, launch it, then restart the AVD that you have it installed on
and it should be open when you unlock the AVD.

Good luck with your very complicated embedded application, and please
keep us informed on how that is going.

Nonetheless for the comedic value I give you Pies Of Cod, or at least 
the parts you asked for. Yes this code executes and launches the app 
Pies Of Cod when it is in a proper app environment. It took me about 
half an hour to cobble together. Of course you'll want to adjust the 
imports and packages to fit your environment so I omitted them. The view 
is the main.xml you get from an eclipse generated hello world app.


First make a new android app named PiesOfCod in your workspace. Launch 
it and make sure it runs.


Then you need to create a receiver class:
public class RxBcast extends BroadcastReceiver {

private static final String TAG = "RxBcast";
private static final int NOTE_ID = 1;

@Override
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i) {
// check and handle registerable actions
String act = i.getAction();
Log.d(TAG, "Rxd "+ act );
if( act.equals(i.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED) ) {
Intent si = new Intent(c, PiesOfCodActivity.class);
si.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
c.startActivity(si);
}
} // onReceive

}

Then change the strings:



Pies Of Cod!
PiesOfCod



Then adjust the manifest, yes you will have to use your package names, 
etc. mine won't work for you:


























Build it, launch it, then restart the AVD that you have it installed on 
and it should be open when you unlock the AVD.


Good luck with your very complicated embedded application, and please 
keep us informed on how that is going.

Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

2012-02-20 Thread Ted Scott

Review the components section here 
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html


You are confusing a BroadcastReceiver with an Activity, and there's 
nothing you can add to the manifest to correct that since an activity 
tag can't describe or invoke a receiver. If you want to launch something 
at boot, then code a receiver that launches the app.

Basically it means that you have invoked some transformation on the

You should probably delete it since it will confuse the build of your

[android-developers] monkeyrunner

2012-02-13 Thread Scott

I am working on making some changes to the android framework layer and
building my own version. I am working based on froyo and trying to use
monkeyrunner for some testing. I have pulled the source and can build
and run in the emulator but when I try to use a monkeyrunner script I
can't seem to get anyhting to work. I built the code using lunch full-
eng and it runs fine on the device. I am just trying to get a simple
script running based on the example at
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/monkeyrunner_concepts.html
shown below with a print statement added just to see if I could get
anything to run.

# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice

# Connects to the current device, returning a MonkeyDevice object
device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()

print "Hello World!"

When the following line is in the script I get an error as follows.

from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../../MRTesting/MyTest.py, line 4, in 
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner,
MonkeyDevice
ImportError: cannot import name MonkeyDevice

So if I remove MonkeyDevice from the import as shown below I get a
different error on the call to waitForConnection()

from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../../MRTesting/MyTest.py, line 6, in 
device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
AttributeError: type object 'com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunner'
has no attribute 'waitForConnection'

I tried modifying the call to have some arguments as indicated in the
documentation as follows but I still get the same error. The second
argument matches the value returned by a call to adb devices.

device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection(5, 'emulator-5554')

I have done some digging around and one person said that the shebang
needs to be at the beginning of the file as follows with the path
modified to avoid putting information in I would rather not share.

#! /home//monkeyrunner

I could not see how this would be any different than me invoking
monkeyrunner directly from the command line but I tried it and no
luck. I did not install the sdk anywhere on my system as it is
included in the build tree but it seems to me that the monkeyrunner
tool might not be able to locate it as needed but I can't find any
indication of how to fix this. I am running the following commands
when I build my system from within my build directory at the root.

. build/envsetup.sh
setpaths
lunch full-eng
make -j16

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

As long as you are not tying the enhancement to a rating level, I don't

Now telling whether or not someone actually rated the app is a different

[android-developers] Re: Block APK installation

2012-02-08 Thread Scott Herbert

This is just an idea...

but why not try writing a the app as a custom version of
https://github.com/android/platform_packages_apps_launcher

and having a very small internal storage, so theirs no room for any
additional APK's.

N.B. I've never even compiled the kernel, so I've no idea if this will
work, however I've looked through the code enough to believe that the
"launcher" is the home screen.

Someone tell me I'm wrong before I end-up sending this poor guy up a
blind alley.

[android-developers] Why banned?

2012-02-07 Thread Robert Scott

When I try to log into android-developers I get a message that says I have been 
banned by the owner of the group.  I think this must have been a mistake.  I 
have always posted relevant and polite questions in this group.  My most recent 
postings were about audio latency measurements and their effect on applications 
that use audio.  Was this a violation because I mentioned specific Android 
devices?  If so, I can avoid doing to in the future.  Can you tell me why I 
have been banned?

[android-developers] FYI ADT r16 hangs running AVD 2.2 on relaunch or debug

2012-02-06 Thread Ted Scott

This is an update to the problem I encountered and posted on earlier. 
The fix is scheduled for r17.


There are 3 hang cases which apply to AVD 2.2:
1: Relaunching a changed application which hangs at 27% progress.
2: Launching the application in the debugger. Both cases hang when the 
"launch logcat on error" is true and logcat level is verbose.

3: Launching the DDMS perspective

The workaround is to uncheck "launch logcat" at 
window->preferences->android->LogCat


The problem report is here:

I do a similar thing by running a service from an alarm, it checks

I meant that they have tutorials and stuff. Since you have the syntax

helpful. Oh, and you can forget the evil multiple inheritance and

Probably a little tedious for you, but there is this:

Reloading a changed app hangs at 27% launch. Requires relaunching eclipse,
and leaves old eclipse image running which must be killed.
Attempting to debug results in "Waiting for debugger to attach" on AVD,
eclipse never shifts to debug perspective.
This behavior is new to r16 update. I'm not sure how to back out the
update, and have not found a workaround as yet.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android SDK Tools r16 and problems with Eclipse


Danielle,

Is your LogCat view set to 'verbose'? I just changed mine to 'debug' and 
everything started working. I opened a defect report on this: 
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24926


Let me know if it works for you.

Yes that's my fear too. And I had been having the issues you describe
about the interface hanging at 27% when trying to re-launch an
emulator...although I'm thinking I was having those problems even
right before r16. That was very annoying but at least you could close
it, kill the process and restart and it would work. When everything
totally freezes and crashes when trying to get screen captures from
the DDMS screen is what makes it useless.

I had to transfer my files to another machine that I happened to not
have updated yet in order to get those. But that situation may not
always be possible if I'm working remotely and only have my laptop to
work on.

It's just nice to know that I'm not the only one with these issues. :)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Crash after StartActivity


I have an app that invokes a service in the background from an alarm:

// Ok, let's try running the service via a repeating alarm...
// We need to make a PendingIntent from the service intent...
Intent si = new Intent(this, xxxService.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, si, 
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


// Set the first time the alarm should trigger to be an hour 
ago in milliseconds...

long when = new Date().getTime() - 36;
AlarmManager alarm = (AlarmManager) 
getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarm.setInexactRepeating(alarm.RTC_WAKEUP, when, 
alarm.INTERVAL_HOUR, pi);


It does a web service call approximately every hour after the app is run 
the first time. Because it uses the Inexact method it is likely the 
phone is doing something else also. The user never sees it run.


If you are launching an Activity that needs the screen then I think that 
is when you need the NEW_ACTIVITY_FLAG? I have the following in use to 
start an activity that displays a record selected on a list:


// display the whole record in its own activity.
Intent detailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(Sample.CONTENT_URI+"/"+id),
ctx,
xxxActivity.class);
detailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
try {
ctx.startActivity(detailIntent);
}
catch (Exception e) {
String foo = e.getMessage();
Log.e("Caught It:",foo);
}

I'm not yet sure I'm clear myself on when the flag is required.

Correct.

Keep in mind though, that, except for some specific cases (an alarm

be an unexpected and jarring experience for the user.


I can see it as a plot device for Final Destination 6: someone's

So I guess I have to add the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag to the

[android-developers] r16 and eclipse - debugger and relaunch is hosed

This is driving me nuts. A couple of others have reported it, but no one 
seems to have a work around or even why this is happening.


I had a working set of projects until the r16 SDK/ADT update. Now I can 
run an emulator with an app the first time I launch it. I cannot run or 
launch under the debugger, as the emulator hangs waiting for the 
debugger to connect. On relaunch, eclipse sits at 27% progress while 
launching app.


Eclipse must be restarted to launch, and when eclipse is stopped the run 
image of eclipse is still in memory and must be killed.

[android-developers] Unicode in eclipse

Sorry if this is a little off topic (it's more an eclipse questron than an
Android one, but as it's for an Android project...)

What the easyist way to define non Latin text (I.e. Unicode) specifiy
Arabic and Chinese in an Android project? When I try and copy and pasted
the google translated version of my strings (I accept GT isn't the best way
to internationalise an app but my budget is zero so...) eclipse doesn't
recognised the characters. Can I just convert the characters an store the
Unicode values? Or is their a better way?

Hi there,
I am trying to create a mobile site, which hopefully will become an
app as well. but I cannot get it to do exactly what I want.
I have created links to activate voicemail
Activate Voicemail
is there a way for msend the request automatically, without the need
for me to press the call button in the dialer?

My other question is with messaging, how can I get the sms: URI to
attach the body with the message?
I can get Request A Call to work
but when I add the body Request a Call returns "Please correct the
recipient(s) or they may not receive the message" error

[android-developers] In-App Billing Question

I am attempting to integrate in app billing in an application.  My
billing service binds to Google's service fine, but when I send the
CHECK_BILLING_SUPPORTED request, I always receive a
RESULT_BILLING_UNAVAILABLE.  My phone's main account is set up as a
test account, and I have uploaded the APK (but not published) to the
market.  The bundle is sending API_VERSION = 1.  Any ideas?

[android-developers] Android Market user ratings disappeared on July 29, 2011

2011-08-01 Thread Scott

Yesterday (July 29, 2011), I had two apps with ratings of
approximately 4.5 (a network calculator) and 4.0 (a spinning polyhedra
live wallpaper). That changed late last night. Approximately 50% and
75%, respectively, of my user ratings vanished! Now I have ratings of
4.3 and 3.0!

Taking a full star drop is quite a hit. Going from 4.0 to 3.0 is the
difference between, "This might be neat," to, "Meh," for most users
hunting for new applications.

It seems most of my user comments are intact.

Is anyone else having a similar problem?

[android-developers] Black Flash when changing VideoURIs in a Video View.

2011-07-11 Thread Scott G.

I have a VideoView which I want to use to play a video. The code below
works.

VideoView m_videoView;
String videoUrl = "website url deleted";
Uri video = Uri.parse(videoUrl);
m_videoView.setVideoURI(video);
m_videoView.requestFocus();
m_videoView.start();

However I see a black flash just before and after the movie clip. The
flash in itself isn't a big problem, but the blackness of it is. The
background is white, so if the flash is white, or if it disappears it
will be okay.

Thoughts?

[android-developers] Re: "Image Map Type" style Overlay in MapView

2011-07-01 Thread Scott Kennedy

I figured it out.  For anyone else who might be interested, the map
tiles on Android's MapView seem to be twice as dense as the JS API's.
So if you have an existing tileset, just read them in with an
inSampleSize of 2, and adjust the positioning accordingly.

[android-developers] "Image Map Type" style Overlay in MapView

2011-07-01 Thread Scott Kennedy

I have a website where I use the Javascript Maps API, and I use an
Image Map (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
maptypes.html#ImageMapTypes) to display my custom tiles on top of a
map.  These tiles use the tile/pixel coordinates as defined by Google
in that document.  This works fine for the Javascript API.

To give a better in-app experience, I'd like to use a MapView, rather
than a WebView (or opening the browser) with the JS API.  However, I'm
having a hard time getting the tiles to display properly in the
MapView.  It doesn't seem to behave the same way as the JS API.  I'm
not sure whether that's due to tile size, the projection used, or
something else, but I was wondering if anyone had done something
similar and could share some ideas or code on how to do this.

Hi folks,

I've been trying in vein for a few days to get the latest Android SDK

1) Grabbed and unpacked the starter package
2) Ran tools/android
3) Clicked "Available Packages"
4) Selected all under Android Repository
5) Clicked "Install selected packages"

And kaboom (below).

I've tried it with both OpenJDK (1.6) and Sun JDK (1.6), but no dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[android-developers] Unable to install latest Android SDK on Ubuntu 10.10

2011-05-02 Thread Scott

Hi folks,

I've been trying in vein for a few days to get the latest Android SDK
to install on Ubuntu 10.10.  Here's what I'm up to:

1) Grabbed and unpacked the starter package
2) Ran tools/android
3) Clicked "Available Packages"
4) Selected all under Android Repository
5) Clicked "Install selected packages"

And kaboom (below).

I've tried it with both OpenJDK (1.6) and Sun JDK (1.6), but no dice.
I've also tried as root, although it was my understanding that that
shouldn't be necessary.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Scott

[android-developers] How to receive SDP from 200 OK in SIP in responce to INVITE

2011-04-13 Thread Scott

Hi

I am sending Invite message with SDP. I intend to receive the 200OK
which has some SDP description. Can you please guide me which API
method will help me to receive it.

Is it [ onCallEstablished (SipSession session, String
sessionDescription)  ] method of android.net.sip.SipSession.Listener,
which will help  me to receive the SDP present in 200 OK in response
to INVITE Message.

Thanks

[android-developers] info incorrect on http://developer.android.com WHICH COULD PREVENT ECLIPSE FROM RECOGNIZING YOUR DEVICE

2011-04-08 Thread scott

On the following page there is info that is incorrect (correct but
missing an important piece)

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up

It mentions if using Ubuntu Linux in order to run/debug ON your
Android device (not virtual device) you must go into ubuntu and add a
file. (see below I pasted from the site)

"If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file
that contains a USB configuration for each type of device you want to
use for development. Each device manufacturer uses a different vendor
ID. The example rules files below show how to add an entry for a
single vendor ID (the HTC vendor ID). In order to support more
devices, you will need additional lines of the same format that
provide a different value for the SYSFS{idVendor} property. For other
IDs, see the table of USB Vendor IDs, below.
Log in as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-
android.rules.
For Gusty/Hardy, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
For Dapper, edit the file to read:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
Now execute:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

THIS IS INSUFFICIENT.  IT SAYS TO NAME THE FILE 51-ANDROID.RULES BUT
THIS IS INCORRECT IF THE OTHER DEFAULT FILES IN THE UDEV FOLDER
CONTAIN A NUMBER HIGHER THAN 50

IN MY UDEV FOLDER FOR EXAMPLE THERE WERE ALREADY TWO DEFAULT FILES
WITH NAMES THAT INCLUDED A NUMBER HIGHER THAN 50 (70)

LINUX AUTO RUNS THE PROGRAM WITH HIGHEST NUMBER FIRST.
DEVELOPER.ANDROID ASSUMES THE OTHER DEFAULT FILES IN YOUR ETC/UDEV
FOLDER ARE NUMBER 50 SO IT SUGGEST USING 51 WHEN YOU CREATE THE NEW
FILE WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD JUST BE A NUMBER HIGHER THAN THE FILE NAME
NUMBERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN YOUR UDEV FOLDER (IN MY CASE IT HAD TO BE
HIGHER THAN 70)

AS SOON AS i DID THIS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ECLIPSE TO RECOGNIZE
MY SAMSUNG TAB (TO USE AS AN AVD) INSTEAD OF USING A SAMSUNG AVD
EMULATOR ON MY PC

[android-developers] Superscripted Keys on Keyboard

2011-04-08 Thread Scott

I'm creating a custom keyboard and have been able to hack around
sufficiently except for the following:

Does anyone know how one would display superscript key labels in
addition to the normal key labels on the keyboard keys?

For example, on the qwerty keyboard, I would like to see "1" have a
superscripted "!", "2" have a superscripted "@", etc. all of which
might only be able to pressed via the alt or function key or
something. HTC had it in the hero keyboard but I can't find anywhere
how they did that and the soft keyboard example doesn't show that.

Is there a method OTHER than creating 9-patch graphics for each
independent key? (...given my design, the thought of which makes me
want to blow my brains out. :> )

Re: [android-developers] Re: Content Provider for Private Database?

2011-03-29 Thread Scott McCormack

Based on this discussion, I've decided to use a content provider for access to 
an internal private database for my app. It simply makes the data access 
simpler for me, and there's a really nice go-by in the NotePad sample. However, 
I'm worried about your comment about the leaked database connection. I'm still 
new to this arena. What are the consequences of leaking the database 
connection?

[android-developers] Setting maxWeight on a TextView

2011-03-28 Thread scott

Hi,

I'm trying to accomplish what I thought was a pretty simple layout,
but am having trouble finding my way.  Basically, I just want one
TextView immediately after another where the second one has a fixed
width and the first one can grow as large as it needs to be but will
be ellipsized so that it doesn't push the second one out of the parent
container:

|   TextView 1 text is short here: TextView 2 text
|
|   TextView 1 text is really, really long here... TextView 2 text |

Using layout_weight causes the 2nd view to be pushed all the way to
end of the container, even if it does not need to be:

|   TextView 1 text is short here:TextView 2 text
|
|   TextView 1 text is really, really long here... TextView 2 text |

I can use maxWidth on the 1st TextView and things work ok, but I don't
know the value (parent container width-TextView 2 width) without doing
some measuring at run time.  It seems like I need some hybrid maxWidth/
layout_weight mechanism.  Seems I am missing the obvious -- can
anybody point it out?

Thanks!
Scott

[android-developers] Re: Can somebody suggest the best book or online resource for beginning android apps development?

2011-03-22 Thread Scott

"Beginning Android 2" by Mark Murphy is a great start to understand
the fundamentals.  The flow of the book so far works well.  I
originally started with the online articles at HTTP://developer.android.com
but I prefer a physical book.  "Pro Android 2" was good but contained
more advanced concepts without as much foundation... which makes
sense.  "Android In Action" is also good but understand the
fundamentals first.  Android terminology is slightly different from
other languages, intents versus events and views instead of controls

[android-developers] Not able to receive UDP Data

2011-03-17 Thread Scott

Hi

I am trying to receive UDP data sent from server to my android
emulator client. But i am not able to receive the UDP data in my
android client application which is running on emulator.
packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
socket.receive(packet);

1) Can you please let me know how to fix it and receive UDP data on
emulator from server application running on some other system.

2) Will i face same problem in receving UDP data if i run my client on
the Android hardware/Android based mobile.

3) Will i face similar problem in receving the TCP based data when
running the application on the Android Emulator.

Kindly pleas guide/help me to get the answers to the above queries.

[android-developers] Styles not styling in Eclipse?

2011-03-14 Thread Scott McCormack

I've tried using some styles, both standard android:style ones and
those of my own creation, and for some reason the Graphical Layout
view of Eclipse won't display my views in the defined styles.  They
simply default to the standard default style.  Is this common?  See my
xml below.

In styles.xml:



#00



In list_item.xml (ignore the "...", I just shortened it up):

[android-developers] Re: Which Mobile Advertising Site?

2011-03-14 Thread Scott McCormack

Assuming I can safely place ads in my apps in such a way that they
aren't bothered by it, is 10-20 clicks per 1000 an appropriate
estimate to use for budgeting?

Thanks for the heads up about APP/Leads. I looked into it, and will definitely 
add it to my list of options.

$0.20 per click sounds good. What is a typical amount per impression?

I think the idea is that because the singleton is encapsulated, you at
least have some business logic around mutating them, whereas the "classic"
global variable is visible AND mutable without restrictions.

[android-developers] Math question

Hello Group,

I have a couple of questions.

1. Lets say I calculate a circle say 14 points in a circle. I have an object 
following those points for so many times for an animation. Now, since there 
are different screen sizes, The speed of following those points will vary on 
each mobile device. So my first question is how can I make it constant no 
matter the radius size and screen size?

2, The following code to the points in the circle works, but sometimes, the 
will jerk the object because it overshot it or something. I am checking by 
distance between two points. What is a better way to do follow points in a 
circle that doesnt jerk? I am all ears, but this one is not as critical as 
the first question.

Thanks group.

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap Question

Ok, so I figured out how to resize bitmaps, but now I am trying to
figuare out how to resize a Media (which plays a gif...unless there is
a better way to play gifs?).

For those looking on how to resize a bitmap do the following:

1. get the width and height of screen/view.
2. set a ratioWidth var to ScreenWidth/WidthDevelopedFor
3. set a ratioHeight var to ScreenHeight/HeightDevelopedFor
4. then in your bitmap after you decode the resource, next do
Bitmap.createScaledBitmap. In the new x do
BitmapVar.getWidth()*ratioWidth and in the new y do
BimapVar.getHeight()*ratioHeight.

Hope that helps.

So, back to my question, how do you resize some Media class? I was
thinking canvas.scale and canvas.translate, but that really isnt
working. Again..if there is a better way to play gifs, i am all ears.

Thanks.
