[android-developers] nfc tag and phone compatibility?

[Stephen Kramer]

I am developing a toy that will have an active NFC board in it 
communicating with a microcontroller.  I need to know which phones will be 
able to communicate with the NFC tag through an android app.  

The initial tag choice is ST25TA02K-P by STMicro.  The tag description from 
the datasheet is:  "NFC Forum Type 4 Tag IC with 2-Kbit EEPROM and General 
Purpose Digital Output".   I have not worked with nfc before, but I intend 
to make a simple Android app to communicate with the tag.  How can I 
determine if most phones will be able to communicate with this tag?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Avoid copying allocation to buffer (Renderscript)

['Stephen Hines' via Android Developers]

You must still do the copy, even (especially) if you are using 
USAGE_SHARED. It is not guaranteed to actually share memory for the 
bitmaps, so you are indeed not doing the necessary copies on the Nexux 6.

This indicates that it couldn't find a function that you called. Did you 
declare something extern and not define it in your .rs file? It is also 
possible that this unrooted device has bugs where it is missing a core 
component of the Renderscript runtime/math libraries. Without knowing what 
device this is and seeing your actual .rs code, it is going to be hard for 
me to give you any extra information. I can tell you for a fact that 
"rooting" does nothing different for Renderscript, so that is purely a red 
herring in this case.

I highly recommend this book "Beginning Android Games" by Mario Zechner. 
 He explains things very well and if you're new to Android, this is the 
book to get, even if your not planning on writing games.  It will answer 
all your questions.

Best,

[android-developers] Re: Refund

[Stephen Lebed]

My apps are paid apps and I don't use in-app purchasing at all.  I don't 
think there is a way to disable an app if I refund a customers money.  At 
least the way things are set up now.  Am I wrong about this?  Is there a 
better way?

Thanks,

As far as I know, there isn't a way remove an app after you issue a refund. 
 I wish there was.  It would be great to go into my dev account, find the 
user I'm refunding the money to, and click a deactivate button or something.

For now, I try to discourage refunds by trying to work with the user to 
address their problem.  If I can't then I will refund their money, but 
there isn't a way for me to have the app not run on their account.  It 
basically the honor system.  You hope they will not use the program after 
they've gotten their money back.

[android-developers] Re: Problems of dynamic loading downloaded precompiled renderscript source files

[Stephen Hines]

Unfortunately there is no way to dynamically download, compile, and execute 
Renderscript bitcode in Android. Even with a small fix I made to the 
reflected ScriptC constructors (allowing you to eliminate the res/raw + 
filename, and only pass the first argument), you still need to have the 
bitcode files in the raw resources for the apk.

[android-developers] Google App Engine, Authentication from Android, ClientLogin officially deprecated but OAuth 2.0, not supported yet.

[Stephen Friend]

I am writing a project in Google App Engine,  GAE and  need to authenticate 
from Android 

On the GAE server in a servlet  I use
UserService userService = UserServiceFactory.getUserService();
User user = userService.getCurrentUser();
  This prints the current user, and shows I am authenticated

To achieve this, I used the Client Login method, as described in this 
excellent blog

http://blog.notdot.net/2010/05/Authenticating-against-App-Engine-from-an-Android-app

This works, and I can call servlets  on my Google App Engine server
The servlets know who I am,   hence the Android device is authenticated, 
and Servlet code in Google App engine knows who 
the current user is.

However,  Client Login, is now officially ,deprecatedsee
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps

and they recommend switching to OAuth 
2.0
, 
But, I read else where, that OAuth 
2.0, 
 is not supported by Google App Engine

Questions
1. What is the recommended method for Authenticating Android with Google 
App Engine ?
2. Is there  example code to do this anywhere  (ideally a rework of the 
example 
http://blog.notdot.net/2010/05/Authenticating-against-App-Engine-from-an-Android-app,
 
would be ideal)
When is  OAuth 2.0 , 
  available on Google App Engine  ?

It seems existing methods are marked as deprecated ,  before the new 
methods are ready.

Please help.  thanks

I haven't used it before on android, but there is vlc.
Here is the source: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc-ports/android.git;a=summary

I'd say generally speaking, if what you are trying to do seems like
its being forced you are probably doing it wrong.  Usually there is a
much better approach that should be taken.

I tried this and it doesnt work. I noticed that when I change the language on

[android-developers] Re: ADT plugin disappeared from Eclipse after update

[Stephen Wright]

Here I found that the *Android SDK Platform-tools* for the rev 20 were not

Install whatever is missing and then the ADT should work fine again.

An alternative to update all platforms and walk away for a while is to 
execute:   
android-sdk-linux/tools/android update sdk --no-ui

[android-developers] Re: ADT plugin disappeared from Eclipse after update

[Stephen Wright]

I've just upgraded today (11-July-2012) and the same has happened. 
ADT Plugin - http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse was used as the 
available software location for the Eclipse plugin but, although the ADT 
appears to be installed, it is not available from the Eclipse Platform.

I'm also using Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) with Eclipse 3.7.2

Has anyone found a way to reactivate the ADT with this release?

[android-developers] Re: Developer Options on Galaxy Nexus!?

[stephen]

I quite agree. I just found this post after weeks of trying to get to
bottom of an issue with my app, and it's exactly the same cause. What
a huge waste of time (not to mention the refunds and cancelled
orders).

There are far more Android handsets in the hands of normal users than
developers, so exposing options like this to all comers is simply
asking for trouble.

(BTW, this option breaks some of Google's own apps: e.g. MyTracks
stops displaying overlays at higher zoom levels.)

[android-developers] Missing map overlays in Android 4.0

[stephen]

I've had two reports (confirmed with screen shots) from users on
Android 4/Galaxy Nexus that map overlays go missing in my app as the
zoom level is increased. The same code works fine on my own Galaxy
Nexus (and in other devices/OS versions).

Interestingly, both users report that tracks recorded in the Google
MyTracks app also disappear at higher zoom levels on their devices.

The overlay simply draws lines on the map as shown below:

private void drawLine(Canvas canvas, GeoPoint fromGeoPoint, GeoPoint
toGeoPoint, Projection projection, Paint paint) {

Point startPoint = new Point();
projection.toPixels(fromGeoPoint, startPoint);
Point endPoint = new Point();
projection.toPixels(toGeoPoint, endPoint);

Path path = new Path();
path.moveTo(startPoint.x, startPoint.y);
path.lineTo(endPoint.x, endPoint.y);
canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
}

Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this behaviour for some
users but not others?

Many thanks,

Stephen

[android-developers] Re: Anyone else notice that WebKit in ICS has some serious bugs?

[Stephen Williams]

We're seeing similar errors (Unknown chromium error: -6, CSS or .json
files not loading in an embedded webview, text misaligned or missing,
etc.) on 4.0.2 that rolled out to Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  However,
everything works fine in the 4.0.3 emulator and also now for a Galaxy
Nexus S that just received an update.  And all of this HTML/CSS/
Javascript gets tested on desktop browsers.

The "ported" 4.0.2 version, that is marked 4.0.3, for the Sprint
Galaxy Nexus S 4G works better than the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 but still
has some major problems.

We're trying to get access to a Nexus S that _is_ having problems.  It
is apparently a problem on UK devices.  We've so far determined that
the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 version is hopelessly broken in this way and
cannot be worked around.  Hopefully a fully working 4.0.3 build will
be pushed out soon.  My current impression is that some 4.0.3 builds
work perfectly while others are completely broken for embedded
webviews.

This involves code used by many millions of users on most prior
versions of Android, any of which could be trying to go to ICS.

Problems in 'fill_plasma':

  1. The raw data of the *pxl*-array can not contain JPEG encoded 
data.
  Instead it must be encoded as RGB_565, each 2 bytes having 5 bits of 
red, 6

  bits of green and 5 bits of blue.
  2. You can not assign the bitmap's raw-data array address (*pxl*) to 
  your compressed buffer-address. Instead, you'll have to copy each 
  individual pixel from '*buf*' into '*pxl*'. Use a for-loop and copy 
each

  byte from the *buf*-array into *pxl*-array.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.html#createScaledBitmap%28android.graphics.Bitmap,%20int,%20int,%20boolean%29

Many things in Java, especially graphics operations, are implemented 
mainly by native code.  I've traced 2D graphics calls all the way down 
to very specific JNI calls for particular transformations or bitblit or 
whatever.  So, there's often little point in writing your own native 
code to implement something that the libraries already do since often 
they are well optimized.  If you want to do something not already 
included, then it can make sense to go native.

[android-developers] Re: SENDING YUV-TO-JPEG CONVERTED BUFFER AS A BITMAP from JNI to Android code...plzzz help...Not a Noob , Am i??

[Stephen Williams]

This line gives you a pointer to the pixel buffer in the Bitmap:
if ((ret = AndroidBitmap_lockPixels(env, bitmap, &pixels)) < 0) {

Then you pass it into your drawing method:
fill_plasma(&info, pixels );

void fill_plasma( AndroidBitmapInfo*  info, unsigned char*  pxl )

Then you allocate, at the C level, a completely different buffer:
unsigned char* buf = (unsigned char* )malloc(pvideoBuff->framesizeIn);

Then you compress your capture buffer into jpeg data (a compressed image 
format, not a bitmap buffer) into that temporary buffer:
compress_yuyv_to_jpeg(pvideoBuff, buf, pvideoBuff->framesizeIn, 80, pvideoBuff->formatIn); //method to convert raw data 
into jpeg format- Quiet popular code on the


Then you overwrite the temporary parameter variable pxl with the address of the 
resulting buffer.

You never got around to changing the bytes in the Bitmap buffer that you locked and unlocked.  And even if you had, you were 
working with Jpeg compressed data that would have been garbage as a Bitmap.  Bitmaps are simple arrays of bytes representing 
uncompressed pixels.  Additionally, malloc() allocated data is not something you pass back to Java to manage.  You should copy 
into Java-allocated buffers.


If the capture buffer is the same size as the bitmap, you simply need to map each pixel using yuv->RGB formulas.  If they are 
different sizes, you need to resize the image too.  There are fast built-in methods to do this well, but basically you create a 
pixel from a weighted average in color space of the pixels that the resulting pixel overlaps.

/* Now fill the values with a nice little plasma */
fill_plasma(&info, pixels );

AndroidBitmap_unlockPixels(env, bitmap);//i am hoping that the bitmap has been mapped to the contents of "pixel" at this

struct vdIn *pvideoBuff = 0;//v4l2 structure which contains the raw YUV data

pxl = &buf;//i am thinking the pxl will have now all the contents of the 
jpeg converted buffer

}

//the bitmap being returned from the native code has to be drawn on the bitmap 
continuously.
canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap, 0,0, null);

I suspect that pixel being a 2D array , I have to assisgn each array elements from the buf.Plz correct me or slap a rockstar

[android-developers] OpenGL ES 2 translation

[Stephen Lee]

How does Matrix.translateM work? I'm trying to use it to translate a
strip of triangles but it seems to be rotating the triangles in
unexpected ways on my device. I've tried all possible matrix
multiplications to make sure they are not the problem, and still it
will not work. Is their anyway to easily alter the vertex data inside
the float buffer, instead of translation through matrices?

[android-developers] QHD display issue in emulator

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi All,

I'm trying find out if this is a bug or not.

I've created two AVD's for a qHD device with a resolution of 960x540,
and a density of 220 and 240.  In both cases
DisplayMetrics.widthPixels reports 720 and DisplayMetrics.heightPixels
is reporting 480.  Is there another settings that I'm missing when
creating the AVD or is this a bug?  Can someone test this out and see
if they are getting the same thing?

Thanks,
Stephen Lebed

[android-developers] OpenGL doesnt work- not even sample

[Stephen Lee]

When my emulator (API 14.0) is running, I can go through API Demos and
select BasicGLSurfaceView (OpenGLES2), the app runs and a triangle
spins. When I load the project into Eclipse and build, the same
program stops working in the emulator as soon as I unlock the phone
and let it load, or load it from list of apps. For this reason, I'm
90% sure the problem is Eclipse building it. I've already spent 2 days
trying to resolve this and it's frustrating. I've reinstalled already
and have everything properly installed. This seems to be the only
problem of its kind- Ive googled for hours, so probably a stupid error

Heres what I get from running the untouched sample into Eclipse

[android-developers] Multiple layouts

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi,

I'm trying to add support for a layout for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7
device.  I can't seem to find a way to specify a layout config that it
will pull the layout xml from.  It keeps using the resource from the
Normal screen/High Density folder, which makes sense, but the layout
is small and centered in the middle of the screen.  I was hoping to
use the newer layout-sw600dpi folder config, but it never pulls from
the folder.  I've set my min api to 4 and target api to 14.

Does the Support Library offer a backward compatible means to use the
newer qualifiers in 3.2 in older api's?  (I'm hoping this is the
solution!)

Is there a way to code my app to identity a devices resolution and
direct the system to use a particle layout?

Will using Fragments in anyway help with older apis?

I know that there is a huge debate about resolutions and densities and
I should create a layout that hard codes sizes, but that is what my
app requires.  I've done everything I can to keep it resolution
independent and have created several layout to address a range to
display sizes, but the Samsung 7" device falls through the cracks.

I've search everywhere I could find and have read and reread to sdk
docs, but I haven't found an answer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen Lebed

Re: [android-developers] Standalone interactive logcat viewer/inspector (free)

[Stephen Uhler]

For the app I was working on, I needed better/different highlighting and
filtering than what DDMS
provided, so I build something that served my purpose at the time, and
thought I'd share it in case others find it useful.  I often use DDMS as
well, depending on the type of output I need.

[android-developers] Re: Custom compass image bounds in subclassed MyLocationOverlay

[stephen]

OK - so the answer isn't canvas.scale (that scales up the bitmaps).
How can the canvas be manipulated to increase its size (i.e. provide
more room to draw my images)?

Thanks,

?

Or is there some other way to increase the canvas bounds that I should

[android-developers] Custom compass image bounds in subclassed MyLocationOverlay

[stephen]

I'd like to draw my own compass image on a MapView by subclassing
MyLocationOverlay. The custom image needs to be larger than the
default image shown by MyLocationOverlay. I override drawCompass and
use my own drawables (bitmaps) to draw the compass, however the bounds
of the canvas normally presented to drawCompass are too small:

@Override
protected void drawCompass(Canvas canvas, float bearing) {

Rect bounds = canvas.getClipBounds();
// usual result: bottom=98, left=10, right=90, top=18

// draw something custom here...

// Don't want default compass image:
//super.drawCompass(canvas, bearing);

}

How do you set the bounds of the custom imagery so that calls to
drawCompass set the required bounds on the canvas object? I'm guessing
that the bounds I'm seeing are those applicable to the default
imagery.

(drawCompass appears to be called from MyLocationOverlay.draw() - I
can override that, but am still unsure how to change the ClipBounds on
the canvas object).

Thanks for any help!

[android-developers] Re: Viewpager's current item

[stephen]

Grant,

I think the reason might be that you can't rely on a one-to-one
correspondence between the item ordering in the ViewPager's collection
and order of your pages. Check out your PagerAdapter implementation
and look to see how your page items are added to the collection in
instantiateItem.

An alternative approach might be to define an id on the root element
of each page root view and call findViewById on your ViewPager object,
instead of getChildAt.

Cheers,

Stephen

You would be surprised how many users don't even understand they can
get a refund from Google within 15minutes of purchases.  These same
users don't understand that developers can't reply to their comments.
A lot of users think comments is the way to spark up conversation with
the developer.  I have no expectation to educate all users on these
facts.  Instead it should be very clear on the market pages.  This is
not a problem of not using enough external services.  I think Google
needs to make it more clear that the comments/rating is just that and
no further conversation can happen.  Users have no clue that
developers can't reply to them.

So my solution is to track their email down via the merchant reports
and start chatting with them, which I proactively do.  However when
the users name doesn't match the credit card name then it is
impossible to track them down and solve their issue.

On an individual basis, you don't. The Android Market certainly should

Is there anyway for us as developers to even talk to our customers?

Twitter. Blog. Facebook and other social media. Web site. Email
newsletter. Get Satisfaction or other outsourced support engines.
Google Group or other discussion board. Chat room/IRC. If you have
sufficient numbers, use Meetups/user groups. If you're so inclined,
use handwritten letters or phone calls. And so on.
IOW, use the same mechanisms that the rest of the planet uses for
talking to their customers, when distributors are involved in the
sales channel. This is not new -- plenty of businesses in plenty of
markets have used plenty of techniques to get past this problem. This
problem has existed since the introduction of "the middle man", which
I think was a few centuries ago.

[android-developers] Display two camera previews in one window

[stephen cathcart]

Hi, I am required by the app I am working on now to be able to display
two camera previews on one page side by side, the effect I am after is
sort of like a video call where you can see the person you are
speaking to as well as yourself using the back and front camera
simultaneously. I know that the camera display preview requires a
surfaceview to display it so my first thought was to use two
surfaceviews each half the size of the screen, one displaying the back
camera and the other the front however, I have read that isn't a great
idea using multiple surfaceviews. If anyone could give me some tips
how to achieve this effect it would be much appreciated.

Re: [android-developers] Developer sign up is account registered to credit card owner

[Stephen Damm]

I took your advice and went along with it.  It does appear that the 
credit card does not bind in some special way.  When I get my own I can 
remove it.  The only stipulation is at least one card always has to be 
on the account.  Everything else has been under my name, number, email, etc.


Thanks!

The credit card info is registered to your checkout account. the

When you get your own credit card you can just go to your google 
checkout account, add your new CC info and remove the other person's 
info from there (just checked and it's possible to remove the CC info)

Fixed subject.

As well, it appears from what I can tell if I accept


"I agree and I
am willing to associate my credit card and account registration above
with the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement."

With the credit card from someone else then the developer side of
the account will be forever locked to that person.  It just feels
wrong that the credit card is used for anything more than just
payment.

Re: [android-developers] How to load resources like texture images & sound files in native code?

Dear Friends,

I am trying to load resources(e.g. texture images, sound files) in my
native .CPP file. As I have to use the resources like texture images

native code itself.

Is this possible to add resources in my JAVA file and access these
resources in my native code? If yes then how?

Please guide me.

Atul Prakash Singh

You can load the PNG for example into a Bitmap Java side.  The standard 
way you normally would in Android using AssetManager.  Then fetch the 
pixels into an array and then read from native side.  Example here:

http://lol.zoy.org/blog/2011/3/2/load-pngs-using-android-ndk

The alternative is to use libzip and unzip the apk (yes they are really 
just a zip, even after signed and zipalign this still works).  Once you 
have used libzip to get a handle to the archive you can start reading 
files.  This is definitely a lot more work but depending your needs it 
might be a necessity.  Example here:

[android-developers] Re: Android version doubts

[Stephen]

> why is that?

Also worth noting is that all the documentation has API levels noted
in it, so for example the multipleChoice thing you mention, is listed
here in the docs:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsListView.html#CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE

It's been there since API level 1 so you can use it on any device.  If
however, you're wanting to use CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL which is
right below it, that's only been available since API level 11 and so
will only work on Android 3.0 or above.

Hope it helps.

[android-developers] Re: Android version doubts

[Stephen]

Personally I try to compile my apps with the latest version of the SDK
but set the minimum sdk level to whatever is the lowest level I want
to support.  At the moment, that's usually target 11, minimum 3 or 7.
This is done in the manifest file in the uses-sdk section as described
here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html

If anyone's got a good reason to compile with a lower version of the
SDK please let me know but I figure you're going to gain any
optimisations by using the latest version.

[android-developers] Re: how to test activity in portrait orientation - honeycomb

[Stephen]

Assuming you're using the emulator, you can rotate it by pressing Ctrl-
F11 (or Ctrl-Fn-F11 on a mac)
Once it's in portrait mode, activities should run with their portrait
configurations, no coding required...

[android-developers] Re: Tabs inside a fragment

[Stephen]

Thanks for the quick response Dianne.  Please find below the stack
trace, the fragment class' code and the layout XML.  I've tried using
either the default tabhost ID (android.R.id.tabhost) or an @+ ID.
Both result in the NullPointerException.

I'm sure it's a schoolboy error somewhere but if you (or anyone else)
can help I'd much appreciate it.

[android-developers] Re: Why did you chose this OS platform over other ones?

[Stephen]

I agree with all of Nikolay's reasons.  I looked at iPhone development
and maybe it would've given me a bigger market, but I'd have to say
writing for Android has been great.  There's a lot more documentation
out there on Java.

As far as your question about courses and learning, I'd suggest
downloading Eclipse and finding a few Java tutorials on the web.
Write a Hello World program first.

Once you're even slightly acquanted with Java, install the Android SDK
and looking through the samples.  A lot of them are very complicated
so don't be scared if you don't understand them first time round.
Google for simple apps that show you how to use things like
ListViews.  You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Stephen

[android-developers] Tabs inside a fragment

[Stephen]

Having read the post here: http://goo.gl/6xYBD (Android 3.0-Tabhost)
and based on the lack of a TabFragment it appears that the way to do
things in 3.0 (and I guess above) is to use tabs in the action bar.

My issue is that I'm writing an app that has the fairly standard
'listview on left, content on right' layout, and I'd like my content
on the right to have tabs.  I know I can change the right fragment
using the tabs in the action bar, but from a UI perspective, it just
looks wrong.  The tabs in the action bar look like they preside over
the *whole* application as they are above the left ListView as well.
For example, in the HoneycombGallery app, the Android/Balloons/
Bikes tabs change both the ListView fragment and the content
fragment.  Mine would only change which aspect of the content you're
looking at.

I tried inflating a TabHost into the fragment but I get
NullPointerExceptions when I run TabSpec.setContent (that may be me
doing something wrong - I'll have another run at debugging it but
figured I'd ask this anyway).

I hope that all makes sense.  If I need to explain better please let
me know.  I'm very interested in how others are solving this problem
since I think the 'listview | content' style is quite common.  At the
moment, my alternatives are either to fake tabs with buttons
(something I'd rather avoid) or to present menu buttons in the action
bar to change what you're looking at.

Thank you,

Stephen

LG Optimus M v2.2.1
I Have two of them, both with very similar set-ups, including
applications but my wife's Gallery app displays every image file
that's on her phone or sd card, including fonts. This is her second LG
Optimus M in 2 months and the first one did this as well but we

In my app I'm calling onCreateOptionsMenu() which works as expected on

there something special I need to do to get the menu button to appear?

[android-developers] Creating separate versions of apps for tablets

[Stephen Lebed]

I wanted to know if there is a way to differentiate apps on the market
between tablets and phone-like devices.  On the Apple platform,
developers can create an ipad version and charge more for it verses
their iphone version.

I'd like to be able to do the same.  Is there a way to do this?  I
tried setting the max sdk version, but then read that its no longer
read after os2.01.

Re: [android-developers] Re: SDK 11 is the slowest yet

[Stephen Jungels]

The Honeycomb emulator is faster on my dev system than the preview
was, but it is highly sensitive to the emulated hardware.  I am using
1024 megabytes of emulated RAM and a 256 meg vm heap size and I still
see out of memory errors when the launcher tries to load wallpaper.

The AVD refuses to go above 1.5G or so of emulated RAM.

I can't comment on Eclipse pegging the CPU, it is about the same as before.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Eclipse Helios and SVN problem

[Stephen Jungels]

Either that, or separate repositories.

The alternative would be to create a more monolithic project with its
project root one level up, so it includes both folders in question.
That seems klunky.

Re: [android-developers] Eclipse Helios and SVN problem

Probably the right solution would be to import the src folder
separately into a library project, and add a reference to the library
project to your existing project.  This would mirror what the designer
was doing in the preferred style of Eclipse + Android.

[android-developers] List issues with Android devices here

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi All,

I wanted to start this thread to list problems people have discovered
writing their apps on various devices.  There are so many devices that
Android runs on, and its getting harder to track down problems when
one particular device isn't performing as expected.  Hopefully this
will help save programmers time when they test out their code.  I'll
start this thread with my own contribution to the cause.  Please add
to this list.


HTC DESIRE HD - In the current devices
Camera.Parameters.getHorizontalViewAngle(), get.VerticalViewAngle(),
and .getFocalLength() report -1 instead of a real value form the
cameras lens.

MOTOROLA DROID - It doesn't seem possible to have a 'headless' Camera
preview.  In other words, being able to capture a camera preview
without the need for a dedicated surface as in
SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS.  It does work on current
Motorola devices and HTC devices like the TMobile G2.

[android-developers] Re: Autofocus callback not happening on HTC Desire HD

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi Marco,

I've been dealing with other issues with the HTC Desire HD myself.
For instance, the Camera.getHorizontalViewAngle, and
Camera.getFocalLength return -1 instead of proper lens values.  I've
already informed HTC about the issue, but I think its fallen on deaf
ears there.  I think HTC was sloppy with the Android integration on
that device.

Sorry I can't help your particular issue.

Best,
Stephen Lebed

Re: [android-developers] custom volume control slider with the MediaPlayer

Perhaps there is some volume object I can call and just adjust the
foreground and background colors of the slider, or do I need to build
this from scratch?

I'm not really sure the best way to tackle this obstacle. I'm
providing a link to an image of what i would like the final product to
look like. Hopefully this will help to demonstrate what I'm asking
about.

[android-developers] Motorola Camera issue

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi All,

I'm frustrated to find out that my app works exactly as expected on
HTC devices, but not on Motorola devices.  I have a program that is
capturing the camera preview so I can process it.

Simply put,  onPreviewFrame is not being called on the Moto Droid, or
Droid X devices but is on my G2.  Does anyone have any insight on what
may be the problem?  I'm using the addCallbackBuffer, and
setPreviewCallbackWithBuffer functions to grab the preview.  The
preview size doesn't seem to make a difference.

There is nothing in Logcat that I can find that is preventing the
preview from starting.

My G2 is running 2.2
The Droids are running 2.2.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My stats are from Google Analytics. If you use it and explain what you

likely to get at least a few comments from users who think you are

Re: [android-developers] Re: Will no longer support Android 1.5

[Stephen Jungels]

I've been tempted to drop 1.5, partly because it tends to be installed
on low-end devices where people will not have a very good experience
of my app, but recently my percentage of 1.5 users has gone up instead
of down on some apps.

There's a big difference between dropping (loyal) 1.5 users and never
having them in the first place, so for new apps my default assumption
is I will target 1.6+ or even 2.1+.

I was talking about the name elements of your service and activity
definitions. A technique much like this works in my own code and the
only thing that jumps out as different about your manifest file is the
lack of fully-qualified class names.

It's not shown explicitly in the examples, but I have had better

My reading of the docs suggests that a service started by binding to
it will shut itself down right after it's last bound activity unbinds.
If you want the manual stop self to be required, you should start the
service explicitly before binding to it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: WebView image source

[Stephen Jungels]

If the image is cached in a format that is understood by the browser
(ie JPEG, PNG), you should be able to create a content provider that
will feed the image to the browser via a custom scheme.

On the other hand this could end up wasting a lot of memory so is
there a need to cache the image, rather than letting the WebView
handle that?

[android-developers] zoom and drag code registering but not actually working...

[Stephen Pengilley]

Hi all,

I have followed the example of using multi touch which can be found
here..http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/how-to-use-multi-touch-in-
android-2/1747?tag=mantle_skin;content

I am pretty sure I have included, in my code, all of the required
elements but, although the dumpEvent log shows that my touch gestures
are being picked up, and accurately, I can't move my picture around or
zoom in.

The only difference I can see is that my picture is loaded from the SD
card whereas in the example the picture is a drawable...

Here is my code

Re: [android-developers] Changing Media Player Proxy - RTSP

[Stephen Lau]

Hi Damien,
Our app is also getting bit by this.  I've been in contact with 
some folks at Sprint regarding it, but no solution yet.  I haven't been 
able to find a workaround; were you able to find anything?


cheers,
steve

Hi,

I'm trying to fix an issue related to Sprint carrier for a rtsp
application.
I found that they are puting a proxy server when using the MediaPlayer
for rtsp calls.

" The root cause appears to be that the Android MediaPlayer is being
forced to proxy through a Sprint server (rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com), even
though the MediaPlayer is actually connecting to a socket listening on
the handset itself (the url is of the form "rtsp://127.0.0.1:31245/
audio.aac"). Predictably, "rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com" cannot connect to
this url, and the playback fails. "


I know that there is some trick to fix the issue on the devices by
changing the RTSP proxy manually. However I can't stick to this
solution and I really need to find out a way to do that in my
application.

Do you have any idea how the problem can be fix ?

Best Regards

Damien

Re: [android-developers] Re: RemoteViews notification is not being displayed in notification window??

[Stephen Lau]

Slow maybe.
Correct definitely. :)
I don't use the emulator for day to day development, but I still run 
sanity checks against it for correctness to ensure my app runs on as 
many platforms as possible.


The only time I've been bitten by this is when vendor customisations 
totally deviate from standard Android platform APIs, such as Motorola 
with its very broken Motoblur Contacts API behaviour.


cheers,
steve

The expanded notification is standard.  Being able to have clickable 
widgets inside is *not*.  Just don't do that.  It is not supported.


Try it on the emulator.  Does it work?  If not, that is the expected 
behavior.

I understand that but custom expanded view is part of standard platform.
What I fail to understand is that how it can be device dependant if OS 
is same? I am not getting any exception or error. Simply, click on 
buttons in side notifications is not working on few devices.

It might be resolution dependant, just a guess.

Buttons and other widgets inside of notifications aren't supported in

that is an extra feature there but not something you can count on 
working elsewhere.

I am stuck with same problem but in a more weird way,
I am learning android by writing an app which will show a custom 
notification with buttons. Now, when I install this program on my HTC 
HD2 with Android 2.2, click on button on notification does the 
intended action but when I install same program on mytouch 3g with 
Android 2.2.1, it doesn't work i.e. click on notification works but 
not on individual buttons.


Could you solve the issue?

One thing to notice is that, on mytouch 3g,I see  a small area on 
right side of my custom layout in notification, which is extra i.e. 
this small area is not getting covered by by the custom layout of the 
notification. and that is the area which gets highlighted when i click 
the button or anywhere on the notification.


If you could solve the issue, please share.

Re: [android-developers] Re: RemoteViews notification is not being displayed in notification window??

[Stephen Lau]

More than likely you're seeing something where a vendor (i.e. 
manufacturer or carrier) wanted that behaviour, and passed through click 
handling events from the expanded notification tray to the underlying 
notification, and thus its widgets.  As Dianne mentioned, this isn't 
part of the standard Android platform behaviour.. which is probably why 
your buttons/widgets inside of the notification aren't getting the click 
event propagated to them.

steve

After looking at logcat i came to conclsion that RadioGroup can't be
used in notifcation.

This time i am using buttons and those appearing in notication window.

I have registered pending intents for each button in my notification.

But when i click any button, contentintent being raissed but not
button pending

is raised.


Is there any thing needs to be done to listen to user actions
notification button

actions except from registering pending intents with RemoteViews?

Thanks in advance...

[android-developers] Re: Camera preview not restarting after picture taken

[Stephen Lebed]

Hi Mark,

I've looked at your code, thanks for the link.  In my app I'm using
the new addcallbackwithbuffer and setpreviewcallbackwithbuffer
methods.

I'm using them to capture preview frames and process them.  I think
there may be a bug because the camera take picture routine is
stalling.  I suspect memory issues, but nothing is obvious in logcat.
I'm testing on a tmo G2.

Best,
Stephen

[android-developers] Re: Your apps

[Stephen Lebed]

Instead of just jumping into a project, you should plan what you want
your app to do and what features you want to give it.  Write it out on
paper.  Flesh out all the details.  Learn the basics of programming
because a game engine will only get you so far.  Start simple and
build from there.  Also please don't release an app until its ready.
Its not about being perfect, it about being functional.  Make sure you
test it as throughly as possible.

There are already too many poorly written apps on the market.  Spend
the time to learn how to write a good solid app.  If you release a
bad, unfinished, unpolished app, it tarnishes anything you release
later.

Just my .02

Best,
Stephen

Re: [android-developers] Re: Who or What is AppBrain?

[Stephen Jungels]

Don't get *too* happy.

When AppBrain reports (for example) your install base in Italy, what
it is really reporting is a combination of your install base in Italy,
and AppBrain's install base in Italy. AppBrain is itself an Android
App, and the detailed stats it reports pretty much have to be
collected from the sample of your users who are also AppBrain users.

If you really need to know these things, you will get more accurate
results by installing your own analytics solution like Fleury or
Google Analytics.

AndroidManifest and have it handle the following intent filter:







Note that the user will be prompted when they hit home to select between 
all the activities that are capable of handling the main intent (namely, 
the bundled launcher, your app, etc.)

Hi All,

I found out from the forum that overrding the HOME key is not possible
