[android-developers] Re: Intercept layout android loading choice

[sparky]

I think switching it in setContentView() is exactly right.  The main
question then is, how do you decide which user gets which layout, and
how do you make it consistent?  The latter, I would accomplish by
writing something into Shared Preferences.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for the blog article.  Nice in particular that you called out 
Android Training.  I think Android Design is also going to emerge as an 
important go-to resource for people looking to do things that harmonize 
well with the platform.

[android-developers] Re: What is the best way to Download Images and texts and use them in my app?

Fetch your data from the network off the UI thread so the app remains 
responsive.  Either use AsyncTask or a Service, and update the UI when the 
data is ready.

[android-developers] Re: Password protect app before users can download from google play store

[sparky]

No, but there is something even better:  on-line license verification. 
 http://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/licensing/index.html

Your app can ask Android Market any time whether the current user has a 
license to use it.  If they aren't, then you can decide what to do about 
it. (For example, you could display a dialog offering them an incentive to 
pay for it.)

I wouldn't take this as a rule, but more of a guideline: Phones don't

[android-developers] Re: Handling localservice-to-activity callbacks

[sparky]

My robust/simple alternative goes like this:

1. Activity shows data taken from a ContentProvider.
2. Activity sends an Intent to an IntentService to get new content.
3. Service fetches content asynchronously and inserts it into the
ContentProvider.

Through configuration changes or whatever, the framework keeps my
Activity in sync with its data.

[android-developers] Re: Get activity class instance

[sparky]

If your project is complex, then having Activities reading each
others' member variables will only make it worse.  You need
encapsulation and clean interfaces.

For small collections of data, maybe you could get away with extending
Application and putting them there.  Shared Preferences would also be
okay.  If your data model is a bit more complex, then you probably
need to give it a class of its own, and persist it by attaching it to
the Application, or access it through a Service, or create a database,
something like that.

But saying, "I want to forego best practices because my project is
complex," sounds like a good way to get into trouble.

Since nobody seems to have answered your question from the technical

apps are the same is the full.package.name. As long as the package
names are unique, the system doesn't care if they have the same name.

The email from Google Play should have told you how to follow up. I don't 
have access to the reasons why your app was suspended, but if it the app is 
okay, maybe your screen shots had a problem.

The link that you cite describes the microphone picking up audio played

the echo cancellation of the phone, but more likely it's just that sounds 
in the environment are fair game.  :-)

[android-developers] Re: Best Practices: Which SDK should I choose for a new project?

Your path of least resistance, I think, is probably to target 2.1

up targetSdkVersion and use reflection techniques to optionally support 
features made available in later releases.

Before we even consider code optimizations, look at the amount of work you

 Let's do the math: Suppose every JPEG frame is 100 KB.  100x1000x8x15 = 12 
Mbps.  Can you sustain that kind of transfer?  Maybe you should reconsider 
the amount of data you need to transmit.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Hardware accleration slow down every Canvas app. Why?

[Sparky Rhode]

Sounds to me like the mystery is solved.  Romain explained how calling
drawLine is faster on the CPU, and suggested a way to change the code
to make it more GPU-friendly. In other words, no, the code is not
well-optimized _for GPU rendering_. Perini explained drawLine gives
better-looking results, and at 60 FPS, the software-rendering
performance seems to be adequate. In other words, the code is
well-optimized _for CPU rendering_.  Ok, now we can understand what's
going on with this particular application.  Success!

[android-developers] Re: J2ME vs Android Java

[sparky]

J2ME and Android are very different frameworks. You do not need to know 
anything about J2ME to write Android applications.  You can pretend J2ME 
doesn't exist.

There is not. You open the camera, then set the parameters to configure the 
mode you want.

You should not.  Just implement the appropriate

 and 
let the OS decide when to close your activity.

See "Compatibility Zoom".  Only since Android 3.2, though.

But I think you're better off fixing your fundamental problem, which is an 
inflexible layout.

[android-developers] Re: same app one tablet and phone with differnt gui

[sparky]

Please don't use multiple APKs for tablet support. Just implement some 
xlarge layouts.  You'll be glad you did.  For the menu buttons, just 
populate the Activity Bar with Options Menu items.  Any buttons that don't 
fit on screen can automatically go into the Options (or overflow) menu.

See this article: 
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html  -- 
although it says 3.0, it's mostly about adding support for tablets.

Re: [android-developers] Users Verifying my App Signature

[sparky]

No, I think that was just hyperbole.  It's still 25 years.

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html

The signature isn't to say, unequivocally, "I am Sparky." It says, "both 
versions of this app were signed by the same author."

[android-developers] Evaluate javascript from within a service

[Sparky]

Hello,

I need to evaluate javascript from within a Service.

In an Activity I used to do that with WebView. However after
constructing a WebView in the service (passing its context to the
WebView) and calling loadUrl (with the url of the page containing the
javascript that needs to be evaluated) nothing seems to happen. The
page never gets loaded.

I assume that the problem is that Webview does not support Service
context and requires an Activity context.. is there any solution to
that? Your help/ideas are greatly appreciated!!

My code within the service looks like this:

web = new WebView(context); //Service context
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.addJavascriptInterface(new JavaScriptInterface(), "HTMLOUT");
web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
   //The page never gets loaded, so this code is never reached in
Servicce :(
web.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.showHTML("+javacode
+");");
}
});
web.loadUrl(url);

[android-developers] Audio Playback Error

[sparky]

I've written an app. that uses the MediaPlayer, but every so often I
see this error:

ERROR/AudioMIO(3733): latency could NOT be set !! set it later

When it happens, the audio goes silent and the only way to get the
audio back is to stop and restart (release and create a new
MediaPlayer instance). This error shows up in the logcat, but is not
reported to the onErrorListener handler I've registered with the the
MediaPlayer.

Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: manually update AppWidgetProvider's onUpdate

[Sparky]

Hey guys,

can you give me some hints on how to create that custom intent?

1. I have added this to manifest:









2. Edited the onReceive in widget code as Evan suggested. However, all
my update logic is in onupdate (so i dont have to implement the if-
clause in onreceive at all, right? the updateappwidget should
suffice..?)
3. I add this to my view:

Intent i = new Intent("go.updatewidget");
sendBroadcast(i);

For some reason nothing happens. The widget just sits there looking at
me :-p

Any ideas, guys?
thx
