Re: Soft keyboard pushes stuff up - how to find new Y position (ViewDebug)?
But HierarchyViewer *already* dumps these values, they're called
absolute_x and absolute_y.
On Sat, Jun 20, 2009 at 8:09 AM, Samuel Quiringsbq...@gmail.com wrote:
Hi. Sorry for not responding earlier -- I don't read this newsgroup daily.
Our app sends DUMP commands to the ViewServer class on the phone over a
socket and gets back a list of attributes for all views in the view
hierarchy of a phone app. The code that actually creates these attributes
is the class ViewDebug. Both these classes are in the package android.view
in the system image. Our interface to ViewDebug is modelled after the
HierarchyViewer app that is part of the SDK.
There is a method, View.getLocationOnScreen(), that returns the x and y
coordinate of the view on the screen, not relative to the Window. So I
modified the routine ViewDebug.dumpViewWithProperties() to add these two
values if they are available as follows:
private static boolean dumpViewWithProperties(Context context, View view,
BufferedWriter out, int level) {
try {
for (int i = 0; i level; i++) {
out.write(' ');
}
out.write(view.getClass().getName());
out.write('@');
out.write(Integer.toHexString(view.hashCode()));
out.write(' ');
dumpViewProperties(context, view, out);
if(((View) view).mAttachInfo != null) {
int screenLocation[] = new int[2];
((View)view).getLocationOnScreen(screenLocation);
writeEntry(out, , screenX, ,
Integer.toString(screenLocation[0]));
writeEntry(out, , screenY, ,
Integer.toString(screenLocation[1]));
}
out.newLine();
} catch (IOException e) {
Our app also computes the X and Y position of each view relative to the
Window. We compare the actual screen position with the computed X and Y to
know when the view is not in its normal position and to know what its actual
position is. You can catch the view in a transition period, for example
suppose the phone app has an EditText view near the bottom of the phone
window. If a click happens in that EditText, the entire window containing
the view will be pushed up to make room for the keyboard and also keep the
EditText control exposed (since the purpose of the soft keyboard is to enter
text into the EditText control). if you ask to dump the view just after that
click, you can catch the view in transition. Its screenY position will be
part way between where it was (at the bottom) and where it will be (above
the soft keyboard). Of course the reverse is true if you click the BACK key
to remove the soft keyboard and ask for the dump right after that click.
Hope that helps. Sorry for not responding earlier.

Examining the possibility of using ViewServer/ViewDebug as part of a test framework -- a way to examine the phone's GUI state after user input. I would highly recommend you didn't use the ViewServer for this. Why don't you just walk the view hierarchy and examine its state? What is the problem with the current ViewServer/ViewDebug that might prevent it from being used that often?

Re: RemoteViews should support EditText
EditText is not easy to support as a RemoteView, mostly because of how Home works. Handling its focus and touch events correctly is not an obvious task and we preferred to get it right later than risk it now. It would also become an issue if other apps started to support RemoteViews and did it incorrectly. When something missing seems obvious and easy, it probably isn't :) On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 7:03 AM, Zach Hobbs ho...@helloandroid.com wrote: In 1.5 many widgets could use EditText (ala Google Search widget), but unfortunately EditText is not a @RemoteView. My initial thinking is that EditText fields should require a submit Button/ImageButton. So the procedure for getting a value from an EditText: - init your RemoteViews - call a method like for each EditText: RemoteViews.attachEditToButton ( int edit_text_id, int button_id, String extra_key) - setup your Button's PendingIntent via RemoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(...) - now, when your Button is clicked, the Strings from any EditTexts attached to it would be added to the Extras for the Button's Intent using the Extra Key supplied in attachEditToButton(). Any thoughts or pitfalls? Seems like this would be fairly easy to implement.

Re: Question about android graphics.
1. what is the relationship between ViewRoot and View class. The ViewRoot is the root of each view hierarchy. Like you said, there is one ViewRoot per window. The ViewRoot is responsible to handling the layout and drawing of the view hierarchy. The view hierarchy is made of Views and ViewGroups. A ViewGroup is a special View that can contain other Views. Is all view ,its children's view and their viewRoot share the same canvas for draw? Yes, but that Canvas might change on every drawing operation. The ViewRoot acquires a Canvas from the underlying Surface and hands that Canvas to the top-level View. 2. What is the relationship within View, canvas and Surface. To my thinking, every view will be attached a canvas and surface. No, the Views are not attached to the Canvas nor the Surface. The window is tied to a Surface and the ViewRoot asks the Surface for a Canvas that is then used by the Views to draw onto. canvas hold the bitmap for view, will the actual view drawn data will be in canvas' bitmap. Yes. After View draw its data to canvas, ViewRoot will call surface.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas) to schedule surfaceFlinger::composeSurfaces() which do the actually display to display panel. Yes. Where is the drawn data in canvas transfer to surface front buffer or backbuffer? I cannot find the code to do that. It's done by SurfaceFlinger. Do different views within the same ViewRoot share the same surface?

Re: define public or private resources
You must not add public resources because it would change the public API and thus make your Android phone/device potentially incompatible with other Android devices.

Re: define public or private resources
From what you are saying, an Android-market app referring to com.android.internal.R would work okay on another OEMs device that has some new additional private resources inside its framework? Only if the app is recompiled for that build. In other words, you are saying that binary compatibility of apks are guaranteed across devices, even if one of the frameworks has new private resources. Correct? No, binary compatibility is guaranteed only for public resources. Either: - You are writing an OEM app meant only for your device or other OEM, and you use private resources (which means the app has to be compiled for each build it's meant to run on) - You keep using the current public resources - You put the resources in your app - You submit patches to add public resources to the Android platform -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.

Re: Changing default theme for OEMs and Android compatibility
The content of the dialog can be entirely controlled by the developer, so the same restrictions apply. On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 6:19 PM, Nick nickp...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the quick responses. I have just one more related question. Do the same restrictions (dark background with light text) apply to the Dialog theme since the dialog is merely a frame around whatever content the user decides to display? Here it seems ok to let the frame change to be light background with dark text since it doesn't affect a developer's content. Thanks, Nick On Feb 14, 5:35 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Runtime skinning is a whole other issue, which we would certainly like to do but requires some work in the resource system (a fair amount of infrastructure is in place, but there are some missing pieces) and for a production quality solution requires figuring out how this interacts with zygote, which pre-loads key system resources at boot time to optimize app process initialization. And even so, if an application uses the theme with a dark background, you can't skin that to a light background and expect reasonable compatibility with existing apps. The widgets already work with either light or dark backgrounds, since they retrieve all of their display information from whatever Theme they are instantiated with. The apps as I said will probably need some customization to work with a different type of background. Even ignoring that, many of them have their own custom images that you will probably need to modify anyway to really have something that consistently matches with your new UI design. On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 3:26 PM, Nick nickp...@gmail.com wrote: No, I don't want to make 3rd party apps consistent (that's not the goal). If they don't care and used the default, then it seemed reasonable to let it change. The heart of the idea was to simplify the system applications and widgets since I want to re-skin all of Android to this new Theme. I was trying to take the approach of having different system themes that the user can select much like changing the theme on your desktop. I know this is a major task so that's why I wanted to know the ramifications before proceeding further. On Feb 14, 3:05 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Yes this will break things. This is why they are defined the way they are -- when you use Theme you are promised to be sitting on top of some dark background, and Theme.Light to be on top of some light background. You just can't change this basic assumption without breaking applications. If you want to change the look of the standard apps to this extent, you will need to go and modify them. Note this could very well require doing more than changing the theme they use, because there are likely some custom graphics and colors that will no longer work in the new environment. And trying to make third party apps consistent? That's a losing battle, don't even try. Third party apps get to do what they want. On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 8:39 AM, Nick nickp...@gmail.com wrote: The only assumption with the default theme in the SDK is that light text on a dark background. However, will an OEM jeopardize being Android compatible if they change the default theme to be dark text on a light background? The reason for this is that I don't want all the built-in applications to have to specify some custom theme since it's easier to just change the default theme. Also, I would like those 3rd party applications that use the default theme to change as well so there is consistency throughout the device. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
