[android-developers] android:clickable = true makes layout not clickable?
Hey everyone. I noticed something odd. I have a listview with custom BaseAdapter, and getView() inflates a layout. On 1.6 SDK (I've been developing on a G1), if I set android:clickable="true" on the layout, then the item is NOT clickable (but otherwise the item is clickable). Is this the correct behavior? It seems backwards to me. Furthermore, no matter now matter how i set android:clickable for the same layouts using 2.2 SDK (run using emulator), the layout always is clickable... eh? I'm really bothered by this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: SoundPool and LOADing from a resource
I had the same problem - couldn't play sounds using neither SoundPool
nor MediaPlayer in apps built with NetBeans. I've found a solution
though and thought I'd share.
All you need to do is set 'keepcompression' attribute to 'true' on the
'zip' tag inside 'build-impl.xml' (can be found in the 'nbproject'
subdirectory). The 'zip' task is called from the '-package-dex'
target.
The problem is that although 'aapt' doesn't compress files with
extensions such as '.mp3', '.ogg', NetBeans uses 'zip' task to update
the APK archive with 'classes.dex' file along with other files (eg.
resources) which causes all files to be compressed.
Hope it helps.

[android-developers] Get Custom Binary Data on Phone - Best Implementation?
Hello, I'm looking for some input on how to go about a problem I have. We have a device that has binary data that it needs to send out (they are mainly just symbols, but in a custom binary format) over ethernet. I need to intercept this data on the phone and display the symbols over google maps. I'm just wondering the best way to go about this, I have a few ideas but am not sure if they are possible or feasable: 1. Is it possible for the phone to connect directly to the device if the device had some sort of server running on it, then poll for new data? If so, what is the protocol needed to be able to direct connect like that? 2. Perhaps modify the device software to send data to the phone(s) in SMS data message format? Im not sure if it is possible for software to "spoof" an SMS to a phone when it is not a phone itself? 3. Have the device software upload all its binary data to a ftp/http server that is sitting out there somewhere, have the phone(s) connect to that server and poll for new data periodically? I'm brand new to android development, basically all I want to do is grab this binary data from the device on my phone and parse/display it over google maps. How do any of those ideas sound, or is there a much easier way I am overlooking? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

If the URL is www.google.com in mobile mode it appears to work ok !?! But once you click on Classic mode or any other web site in mobile/ regular it takes up the whole screen. It works ok with loadData. I've tried different layouts as well as weight and gravity with no luck. Thanks in advance!! Any ideas ? Michael I am testing on an 2.1 android emulator.

[android-developers] child activity does not "finish()" correctly
I have a ListActivity I display from a parent activity. When the user
selects the desired item from the list it supposed to return to the
parent activity. Only when I call finish, the app goes away (doesn't
quit) and displays the Android Home page. If I debug, the application
doesn't die, it just sits on an MessageQueue.Wait().
I have a break point right before the finish() call and one in the
first line of the OnActivityResult. When I press continue from the
first, I never see the second on in onActivityResult.
I have other child activities in my app that don't display this
problem. However this is the only ListActivity I have that I am
trying to return from.
I do call finish from onListItemClick. I'm wondering if that is not
allowed since that is responding to a view event. However if I don't
do it here, how can I get back to the parent activity. Below is the
code snippet of my finish method.
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position,
long id)
{
Object selectedItem = _adapter.getItem(position);
//TODO get results back to parent activity
Intent listIntent = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_OK, listIntent);
finish();
}

[android-developers] Installed Application Size vs APK Filesize
Hi, Can somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

[android-developers] Sending UDP packets from the emulator
My friend and I have a wireless robot dog connected to a wifi network which our computer is plugged into. The computer is running an Android emulator and we are trying to send a UDP packet to the wireless robot dog. If the dog receives it, it should start sending UDP packets back. The program we wrote works outside of the emulator, and using Wireshark, we see that the packet is sent to the correct IP address and the correct MAC address for the robot. When we attempt to send the packet from the emulator, the dog does not respond how it should if it received the packet. In Wireshark we can see that the emulator sends the packet to the correct IP address for the dog, but not the correct MAC address. It is sending it to the MAC address of the router we are plugged into. We want to specify the packet so that it sends to the correct MAC address but we cannot figure out how to do this.

[android-developers] Changing view after softkeypad has slided in
Hi everybody, if have a layout with a variable scrollview at the top and a fixed view at the bottom. If the softkeypad slides in, a method will be called (after onSizeChanged) to hide the footer view due to usability reasons. So, my problem is to hide the footer view correctly. If I change the visibility of the footer to Visible.GONE, the view is indeed gone, but there remains a black space. Only changing the scrollviews content per touchinput afterwards let the black space disappear. If tried a lot of different things to overcome this problem with .invalidate(), .forceLayout(), .requestLayout() and changing size to zero instead of GONE but nothing seems to work.

[android-developers] SQLiteOpenHelper documentation not clear.
Hi, The documentation does not make the interation between onUpgrade() and onCreate() clear. When implementing onCreate() should this create the database at version 1, assuming that onUpgrade will apply all of the patches to bring it up to version x (lets say version 5 for example)? Or should onCreate build the latest version of the database, and onUpgrade is only used to upgrade legacy clients. I kind of prefer the first, because it effectively means that the same SQL is executed for everybody. Whereas the second options means that there is a potential for onCreate to build something slightly different to the succession of patches built by onUpgrade. I can always make onCreate call into onUpgrade, however, this is the kind of implementation detail that should go into the javadocs... please update!

[android-developers] How to get all the children views of a layout
Hello, I'm a newbie, so please excuse if this is a basic question: Is there a way to get all the children views of a layout, from the Java code so that I can loop through them and set an attribute? Specifically, I'd like to set the "layout_width" based on the screen size. Since this "layout_width" would be the same for all the views, I'd prefer to loop through instead of calling each individual View separately by their id. I've searched, but I couldn't find anything, and I'm wondering if I'm off the track. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Touch Events in Surface View
I had the same problem until recently. I'm new to android and not sure
whether this is the optimal way of solving it, but it's simple and
allows you to manage the sensitivity of the click.
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
xTouch = (int) event.getX();
yTouch = (int) event.getY();
xClickOffset = xTouch; *
yClickOffset = yTouch;
}
else if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
xOffset += xTouch - (int) event.getX(); // offsets for
scrolling the game board and other stuff here, isn't related to
clicking
yOffset += yTouch - (int) event.getY();
xTouch = (int) event.getX();
yTouch = (int) event.getY();
}
else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
if(Math.abs(event.getX() - xClickOffset) < tileSize / 2 &&
Math.abs(event.getY() - yClickOffset) < tileSize / 2)
*
{
//do click logic
}
}
return true;
}
I marked the important lines so you can see them, this is a simple
example and I'm sure you will easily adapt it for your code.
Basically, it checks whether the movement that has happened since
pressing down is very little. If it is - it's a click.

[android-developers] abort()-ing HttpGet requests in ThreadSafeClientConnManager
Hi,
I have an http client based on multi-threaded model of apache http
components in my App. And I want to achieve spontaneous cancellation
of http get requests from my Android app.
A new executor thread is started for each http request and the Thread
and the HttpGet is saved in a thread safe queue. When abort is
requested (on pressing back on the progress dialog and when starting a
new activity) - another thread is started which goes through the queue
of Threads and HttpGet and attempts to terminate them (code below).
While the HttpGet gets aborted successfully, the Threads go into
'native' state. They only time out giving SocketTimeoutException after
a default interval. The threads end up this way on most cancellations.
Is this something to be expected or I am hitting a bug?
The issue is that And as soon as 2 threads enter this state, all
further executor threads go into wait. Only when either of the 2
blocked threads time out, other executors get a chance (this seems to
be the default behavior of http). I have have tried many different
thing but I am unable to budge the 'stuck' threads.
I think the problem can be easily overcome by increasing the total no
of threads and threads per host -- but I am not sure if this will be a
correct thing to do (because the socket resources will stay occupied
till timeout and there is nothing theoretically that can stop a user
to do infinite cancellations)? Even if this is -- for Android, what
should be the number?
Now I am also doubting if my abort strategy is flawed. Can anyone
please commentor let me know of a fool-proof abort strategy?
- - -
Run method of the abort thread is like:
public void run() {
while (!stopQueue.isEmpty()) {
final List stopRequest =
stopQueue.remove();
HttpGet abortRequest = (HttpGet)
stopRequest.get(0);
Thread abortThread = (Thread)
stopRequest.get(1);
// first abort the request
if (abortRequest != null &&
!abortRequest.isAborted()) {
abortRequest.abort();
Log.d("Aborting",
abortRequest.getURI().toString());
}
// if the thread is still stuck -- interrupt it
if (abortThread != null &&
abortThread.isAlive()) {
abortThread.interrupt();
Log.d("Interrupting",
abortThread.getName());
}
}
}
Thanks
Anurag

[android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?
This is insane.. for Android not to support a security delay is just beyond words. As a private user I do not want to enter my security code any time I unlock my phone. I do on the other hand want security. Every smartphone I've used had an option to delay security for 5min to a couple of hours. On my last phone (iPhone) this was covered in the OS. Moving to Android the app provided by lars in this thread took care of that for me up until FroYo was released. Due to the annoyance of entering password on every unlock, I now run unsecured. This does not make me feel too god about neither froyo or Android in general, but at least it makes it easy to pick up my phone for a little play. Google need to address this issue ASAP! I'm sure there are loads of people running unsecured atm due to this particular issue of not being able to delay security for at least a few min.. Hopefully this will be solved either through Google or through some dev utilizing root privilege and some hacks. Shame if we have to sort to the last option to get a functioning security on our phone. -Anders On Jun 30, 6:29 pm, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > No we already have a feature request for this in our internal tracker.

Is there a way to change an application's icon without upgrading it? The idea is that there are two icons in the drawable folder, both with different names. At some point during the applications runtime, the icon will switch to a different one to alert the user that something occurred.

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?
Very good points mentioned so far. In November 2009, I decided to get a G1 for cheap from craigslist when I was just starting. At the time, that was the right choice. The G1 has two advantages: 1. It's likely to be the slowest real hardware, which is good to see how your app performs. However, now, I am trying to acquire a Nexus One, for these reasons: 1. Like John said, more people in the US have these larger screens, 2.x android versions. 2. Multitouch doesn't work on 1x devices, and it doesn't work on the emulator. So far, I haven't done anything with multitouch, even though it would benefit the users, because I won't be able to tell how it works without hardware. There could be other examples of things that won't work on G1 that you will need hardware to test. 3. I can't adequately see the full user experience for people using the emulator. 4. G1 is unlikely to ever get an official 2.x update. For me, there are good reasons to have official ROMs - this choice may vary for you. Nexus One is the first to get 2.2, and has a better chance than others, including the Droid, to get anything beyond 2.2. 5. I don't have a Verizon plan, nor any plan, but I do have a TMobile prepaid SIM and wifi, so I could use it for my phone. For me, having hardware that I can use as a phone helps me get into the customer's world a little better, and may help me come up with more ideas.

Re: [android-developers] How to hide contacts
Hi Usama, There is really no way to completely hide a contact. You can remove it from the default view by changing the GROUP_VISIBLE field for all existing groups as well as UNGROUPED_VISIBLE on all rows in the Settings table. However, the user can always manually undo this by going to Contacts/menu/Display Options. You can delete contacts by calling contentResolver.delete(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null); But there are a few issues with this: first, the sync adapter will pop up a message saying "you are attempting to delete ... contacts, are you sure?" The user can just say no. But if the user says yes, the contacts will deleted from the backend storage as well. Contacts that were never synced to the backend storage will be removed irreversibly. So be careful with deleting contacts. Cheers, - Dmitri On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 11:04 AM, Usama wrote: > I am currently making an application that's to work as auto-theft.

Re: [android-developers] custom attributes in library projects
Ah, there's a problem with the namespace. >From aapt's point of view all the resources are compiled for the package name of the application (com.mycompany.test.app in your case), so your "customValue" attribute is defined in that namespace, and not in the namespace of the library. At this time, the only solution is to remove the layout from the library and move it into the apps and edit the namespace to match the application package.

[android-developers] RTCP BYE packets not supported by the Android Media Framework?
Hello, I'm currently running into issues where the MediaPlayer fails to complete or terminate after a RTCP BYE packet is sent. The issue is that when the RTSP server is completed serving a file MediaPlayer continues ticking it's clock as if it was playing but with no sound until after just about 1min it completes. The question is: Is RTCP BYE packet supported at all by the Android Media Framework?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Library Project
Just to give an update to anyone still reading this thread. The next version of ADT will include fixes for: - Issue with the library needing to have a single source folder called "src". Any number of source folder, of any name, even under other folder (src/java). - Issue with project name containing characters that aren't valid for folder names. - Libraries depending on libraries. We've also made the link of the library source folders in the main project much more robust. By the way, we highly recommend to people using library projects in Eclipse to set their workspace to automatically refresh. This is due to Eclipse not realizing that the code inside the linked folder (in the main app) is the same as the code in the library. Since Eclipse considers them to be different, editing the code in one location requires a refresh in the other location. Setting the workspace to refresh automatically helps a lot.

Re: [android-developers] child activity does not "finish()" correctly
If I had to guess, you are calling finish() after calling
startActivityForResult() in the "parent activity". Hence, the parent
activity is gone, and there is nothing for the ListActivity to return
to.

The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission did not exist in sdk version 1.5 (3) (it was introduced in 1.6 (4) ). So if you are building for 1.5 (3) and running on 1.6 (4) or higher WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is silently added to your permissions. If you change your build to 1.6 (4) but indiciate you will run on 1.5 (3) by adding the following to your maifest and build again the 1.6 (4) sdk.

[android-developers] Re: GPS accuracy reliability
A GPS "fix" can be inaccurate - no matter how "confident" the GPS device is :) My experience here is from GPS units mounted on multiple trains travelling about the UK, recording their position every few seconds. A small percentage of the values we recieved from the GPS units were completly un-trustworthy (ie. the train would have had to do over 200mph to get between the last fix and the current positon). For a similar small percentage the train was NOT on a track! We realised we had to sanitise the data returned from the GPS units. We did this at 2 levels: 1) on the Train - no point processing (storing) a GPS position when the calcuated speed (NOT the speed from the GPS unit but calculated by us from the previous good fix) was totally unreasonable. 2) in the backend applcation - Trains travel on tracks (hopefully) so ignore all GPS positions that we cannot map on to a track. Conslusion - a single GPS position should NOT be used at the application level unless it makes sense - for a given value of sanity :) /Richard On Jul 9, 3:50 pm, "Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)" wrote: > Question: How are you getting your location fix?

[android-developers] Dialog without something in the background
I have an aplication that is just a service but before it is run i would like the user to accept some terms and conditions that appear in a dialog box. Can any one please help me find a way to do this without having a visable activity show up in the background. I dont mind doing this in an activity but then is there a way to make the activity not show up in the background?

[android-developers] Sqlite, cursor and thread safeness
Hi all, I have doubts about cursors and sqlite usage in a multi thread environment. Let's say that I have a background thread that pushes data in the sqlite storage. I read that I can force sqlite to be thread safe by using setLockingEnabled. I am now wondering what happens to a cursor while the data is being changed. For example, if I have a foreground activity that makes the query and uses the resulting cursor to populate a listview, what will happen if the background thead push some data in the db while the foreground activity is populating the view ? And more: I get a cursor as the result of the query. Does it contain the real data or is the data fetched every moveToNext() call? What happens if data is pushed to the db while I am still using the cursor on another thread?

Most of the time, a Cursor holds all the data represented by the result set, and so it is unaware of any changes you make to the database. > And more: I get a cursor as the result of the query. Does it contain > the real data or is the data fetched every moveToNext() call? If contains all of "the real data" after you first try using it. So, rawQuery() returns right away, but if you call moveToFirst() or something, at that point it does the query and holds the results. The exception is if you have a really big result set (>1MB), in which case it uses a "windowed" Cursor, and I have no idea what the rules are for it. > What > happens if data is pushed to the db while I am still using the cursor > on another thread? Nothing much, AFAIK. The Cursor will be oblivious to any changes until you requery() it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I mean, I was afraid there were some kind of optimizations behind the moveToFirst / Next call. However, I think I can live with it since it will hardly return a set that large.

Re: [android-developers] Get binary data from external device to Droid
I thiink you are asking too many questions at once. It usually helps to solve one problem at a time. AFAICT, you are dealing with three problems: how to establish communication between the phone and the device (although that's somewhat confusing, since a smart phone is frequently referred to as a device), a means of getting the data from the device into an application on the phone, a means of displaying the data on a map. BTW, have you solved the last problem already? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: what hardware platform do you use?
There's a hack to get Market on an Archos device, but it's not sanctioned by Google, not supported by Google or Archos, and relies on users willing to apply the hack knowing they won't get any support, and so is probably not widespread. Archoses devices tend to fall short of Googles requirements for the compatibility test (most noticeably due to their lack of an inbuilt camera) and thus don't get the Google apps, so they don't make good development device candidates due to the missing bits of functionality.
