Yeah..., they should add GSM/GPRS functionality and it would be a killing

Objet : QUAKE - was Re: garmin PDA now shipping

I can't wait for the day when we get realtime (ok, once a month) updated
maps featuring all building locations - shops, houses etc., road dimensions,
position of every lamp-post etc.etc.  It's all there on various servers -
even down to the internal blueprints of all public and some private
buildings.

What a wicked game of quake you could make with maps like that!  Version 2
could use sattelite overhead imagery and smart painting tools to texture all
the outsides of stuff too!!

btw, GPS simulation on your desktop development machine is real easy to do.
Just ask "Please input lat/long coords" in the setup routine and your highly
imobile desktop clunker will give exact location information forever more :)

OK, tired and bored!  g'night.. :)

Multiple sync using USB fail

[apple k]

Hi,

I understand that only one synchronization can be
occurred for a palm. I have used the serial
quad-cradle
with 4 palms synchronization, it runs ok where the
synchronization takes places after one another if I
trigger the Palm Hotsync at the same time WITHOUT
waiting the completion of the first or second or
whichever.
However, it fails if using the USB hub in the sense
that i couldn't trigger the Palm HotSync at the same
time. I have to wait the completion of the first palm
sync before triggering the second Palm Hotsync. The
error given me on the dekstop (Win2k) is " System
Setting Change" as I need to reboot the system. This
may be the other unknown USB detected(where the second
Palm Hotsync triggered) and cause me this error. 

Do you have any idea of this? Any comments are very
much welcome. Thank you !

Re: Reading PDB created on Sattelite Forms

[Jim Cooper]

Yes.

IIRC, numbers and dates are stored as strings in SF databases, but as
Dave said, the definitive answer is on their website. The relevant part
of the website takes a bit of searching out - I always have trouble when
I go there as well :-) Somewhere in the SF database there is also some
metadata, BTW

Movable vs nonmovable memory chunks

[Laurens]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a feel for when to allocate a movable or a nonmovable
memory chunk. The Palm OS Companion says this: "Applications need
to store data in movable chunks whenever feasible, thereby enabling the
Memory Manager to move chunks as necessary to create contiguous free
space in memory for allocation requests."
The advice is clear enough. However, I want to use C++ classes in my
application and the problem is that if you instantiate a class using
the  operator you allocate a nonmovable chunk of memory. (You 
obtain a pointer when using , similar to MemPtrNew(), so the chunk 
must be nonmovable.)

MyClass *obj = new MyClass(); // Pointer to nonmovable chunk

As far as I can see, using C++ classes, and specifically the  
operator, automatically causes your application to use memory in a less 
flexible manner. So should I think twice before using classes in my 
application? Are nonmovable chunks really bad to use?

Thanks
-Laurens

the pam is crashed when HotSync?

[Sean Yang]

Hi,

I wrote a application, it used 2 databases that have the same create id with
the application, but when hotsync, my application will crash the palm at
'Clearing up, please wait...'. In the
simulator, I got the error message(pls look the accessories):

I have tried to check my codes and complie options, but I still cannot find
the reason.

Could you help me?

Thanks!

Re: Multiple sync using USB fail

[Paul Johnson]

No help here, but I can confirm a similar problem. I have a little 4 port
hub and I'd dearly love to be able to selectively talk to either of my 2
palms or 2 pocketpcs at will, ideally without continually pulling
cables/wearing out the connectors/occasionally needing to reboot to
recognise them etc.

Ah well, maybe in the 22nd century..

very strange problem

[Kaloyan Donev]

Hello,

I have very strange problem on Tungsten T device. My application
give me this error when it starts for the first time: "Emul68KMain.c,
Line:456, line  exception at address 001B142C". Then I reset the
device and there is no more problem. I try to reset device after hotsync
the application and it runs fine without giving me the error. Then I try
to debug the application on device and there is no error. Well I try to
set device to debug mode (shortcut ..2) and then start my app and it
works fine. Of course I hard reset the device before every try and sync
with a new user. But this error appears every time I delete application
from device and install it again and run it.

If anyone knows what this error means (may be people from Palm)
please tell me.

Any help will be useful.
Thanks in advance.
Kaloyan Donev

Re: conversion constant for time from palm to windows

[Dave Lippincott]

On the PC/conduit side, you can use TZset to alter the timezone your app
sees to UTC (GMT).  This will eliminate the PC's auto correction for the
local time zone without affecting the entire OS.

Re: Install application

[Dave Lippincott]

A newer app with completely overwrite the older app provided they have the
same PRC file name.  Thus there is no need to delete an older version of
your app.  Data is a different matter.  If you need to delete an older DB in
lieu of a newer format, just installing the new file (again, as long as it
has the same name as the original PDB file) will overwrite the old one.  If
you have a different PDB data file that will not over write the old one,
then have your app look for and delete the older PDB every time it starts
up.  (or you can be slick and have your app respond to the post-hotsync or
reset message and delete your older data file only during that time)

If you are using some 'custom' serial app to receive the new file (not
hotsync), pass the new file through the exchange manager (as if you were
beaming the file).  This will enforce the same rules as if you had performed
a hotsync and installed the file that way.

Re: the pam is crashed when HotSync?

[Dave Lippincott]

Is your app responding to the sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify?  Make sure it is
not doing something forbidden during that time. (access globals, etc)

A newer app with completely overwrite the older app provided they 
have the
same PRC file name. Thus there is no need to delete an older 
version of
your app. Data is a different matter. If you need to delete an 
older DB in
lieu of a newer format, just installing the new file (again, as 
long as it
has the same name as the original PDB file) will overwrite the old 
one. If
you have a different PDB data file that will not over write the 
old one,
then have your app look for and delete the older PDB every time it 
starts
up. (or you can be slick and have your app respond to the 
post-hotsync or
reset message and delete your older data file only during that 
time)

If you are using some 'custom' serial app to receive the new file 
(not
hotsync), pass the new file through the exchange manager (as if 
you were
beaming the file). This will enforce the same rules as if you had 
performed
a hotsync and installed the file that way.

M. Paramasivan

RE: QUAKE - was Re: garmin PDA now shipping

[Eric Cloninger]

Having killed a Palm V while out geocaching, I would hope that the iQue
is waterproof like a vista and not "waterproof" like a Palm V.  I'm
guessing it's not, given the hard buttons and the microphone.  802.11
would be nice so I could get the hints for a geocache while in the wild.


I didn't see how many waypoints it would store.  I would hope it would
be more than the 500 or so they put on their consumer GPSRs.

I can't wait for the day when we get realtime (ok, once a month) updated
maps featuring all building locations - shops, houses etc., road
dimensions, position of every lamp-post etc.etc.  It's all there on
various servers - even down to the internal blueprints of all public and
some private buildings.

What a wicked game of quake you could make with maps like that!  Version
2 could use sattelite overhead imagery and smart painting tools to
texture all the outsides of stuff too!!

btw, GPS simulation on your desktop development machine is real easy to
do. Just ask "Please input lat/long coords" in the setup routine and
your highly imobile desktop clunker will give exact location information
forever more :)

Re: very strange problem

[Paul Nevai]

Re: "Emul68KMain.c, Line:456, line  exception at address 001B142C"

Try it on a Tungsten C. IMHO any crash on the TT which does not happen on the
TC is an OS bug [well, this may be an overstatement but I am just trying to
get a message across].

However, you may be able to fix your application by figuring out what
particular bug of the TT OS is causing the crash.

I found that the TC is a tremendous improvement over the TT. OS 5.0 vs 5.2.1.

convert #define number to const char*

[German Carizza]

Hi,

I have this constant, #define CAT_CONTROL   7

I want to convert CAT_CONTROL to const char * and I don't want to do this:

char cAux[2];
itoa(CAT_CONTROL ,cAux,10);

I try to use a preprocessor operator:

#define STR(x) #x

But that doesn't work, because I obtain "CAT_CONTROL" like result.

Any help would be greatly.

Re: overlay help

[Ken Krugler]

Does anyone know, why I get this error message, when I load the
enUS overlay near my (Hungarian) application?:
OverlayMgr.c, Line:679, myapp_enUS: Overlay resource has invalid
overlayType.
I tried to get answer for this question a few days ago at this list
with this subject:
overlay resource has invalid overlayType

But I did not get any answer. Nobody knows it?
The Overlay Mgr will report this error on debug ROMs if the 'ovly' 
resource inside of an overlay PRC has an entry with an invalid 
overlayType. The overlayType should be either "replace" or "add".

My guess is that somehow you managed to create an overlay PRC with an 
'ovly' resource that's actually meant to be in the base PRC. A base 
PRC has an (optional) 'ovly' resource with every entry's type set to 
"base".

I'd previously forwarded your original email to the PRC2OVL tool 
developer, but I haven't heard back from him yet. In the meantime, if 
you email me your base app and the overlay PRC, I can try to figure 
out what went wrong.

Re: Movable vs nonmovable memory chunks

[Ben Combee]

At 03:12 AM 7/25/2003, Laurens wrote:
As far as I can see, using C++ classes, and specifically the  
operator, automatically causes your application to use memory in a less 
flexible manner. So should I think twice before using classes in my

Classes are OK, but if your class stores a large amount of data, it is 
better to have the class hold handles, and have the class internally 
allocate a handle to the data on creation.  Then, you'll only be 
MemPtrNew'ing a small amount of memory, and the larger chunk of memory will 
be in an unlocked handle for which the class will control access.

Also, non-movable chunks aren't as bad in Palm OS 3 and higher as they were 
before, and on current OS 5 devices, the heap space is large enough to 
allow a bit more flexibility.  Also, allocating a handle and then leaving 
it locked for its entire life is considered worse than just allocating a 
pointer directly, as the OS expects that handles will generally be unlocked 
and movable.

Connector

[William Woodbury]

Not sure this list is the best place for this question but I have been
trying to find out the answer for days from everywhere i can think of.  I
sent this message to palm and they told me to try here

"Hello,
I am trying to find out the exact type of connection that your products use
to attach keyboards and other peripherals.
The reason for this is that I am trying to develop a keyboard for the
Gamepark 32 (http://english.gamepark.com/), and am trying to find a keyboard
which uses a plug with part id 3050-18P-0.5HTBD, made by HYUP JIN I&C Co.,
Ltd.

(info page: http://www.hyupjininc.com/eng/product/3050_1802pin.htm bottom
plug shown).
Basically the plug is 18pin, 2 keys, flat layout.  Do any of your handhelds
use these connectors?

I have emailed the company that make the keyboards that are compatible with
your handheld products (http://www.thinkoutside.com) asking for the
connector type they use but without reply.
 ... "

What i am really trying to find out is if the connector on the peripheral
keyboards that fit the palm handhelds are going to fit onto my gp32 so i can
write drivers for them. I tried asking the keyboard manufacturers and was
studiously ignored. So i tried emailing palm and they said to come here.
somebody please help me!

Re: Connector

[Dave Lippincott]

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Are you looking for a connector
used by a specific keyboard or a connector for your keyboard to use that
will connect to every hand held?  (specifically the Gamepark and Palm)

You can get the specifications for all the serial connectors used by Palm
devices from the Palm Developer's Website.  However, I don't think you will
find a single connector that will work with all the devices you mention.
You will need a different connector for each device you wish to connect to.
Thinkoutside makes a different keyboard for each device they support.  Not
one keyboard that connects to all devices.
Does that help?

Re: Movable vs nonmovable memory chunks

[Laurens]

Classes are OK, but if your class stores a large amount of data, it is

will be in an unlocked handle for which the class will control access.
This is a good suggestion! Allocating and freeing MemHandles can be 
dealt with in the constructor and destructor respectively. This will 
work nicely.

Also, non-movable chunks aren't as bad in Palm OS 3 and higher as they 
were before, and on current OS 5 devices, the heap space is large enough 
to allow a bit more flexibility.  Also, allocating a handle and then 
leaving it locked for its entire life is considered worse than just 
allocating a pointer directly, as the OS expects that handles will 
generally be unlocked and movable.
Is there any info on how and where the memory manager allocates chunks? 
  What algorithms are used for optimizing memory usage?

The Palm OS Companion has the best details.  On Palm OS 3 and later, there 
is one large storage heap and a smaller dynamic heap.  The storage heap is 
strictly handle-based storage, so it's not that interesting.  The dynamic 
heap allows both handles and always locked chunks (MemPtrNew).  In general, 
allocations for each type are biased towards one end of the heap or the 
other, so MemPtrNew allocations are clustered near each other while 
MemHandleNew allocations are arranged at the other end of the heap.  This 
is why a locked handle can be dangerous, as it prevents efficient 
rearrangement of that end of the heap.  The MemPtrNew'd chunks can cause 
fragmentation for each other, but it takes a fair number of them to reach 
into the active handle allocation region.

ARMlets

[Carl]

I am porting an existing running Palm application to use some of the more
processor intense code to the Arm side for the OS 5. My question revolves
around using methods like StrVPrinF, using a PACEInterface class, versus
using sprintf.



 Is there any speed advantage, in side of the ARMlet, for using one method
over the other?



Thanks

sprintf may not be available -- we have it in the MSL headers, but it 
actually isn't implemented in a form that works for PACE native code.

Questions about ARM programming and PACE native objects (formerly ARMlets) 
are best asked on the pno-forum mailing list; palm-dev continues to focus 
on general application development.

Ricardo, sounds like we're in the same boat.  I am a little embarassed
to say it (I'm certainly opening myself up to a little ridicule here
), but I have never bothered to figure out how to debug properly,
so I use the following bits of code.  I think you'll see what I'm
doing here.  I  just declare these in a common header file, so they
are available from any code module that I am working on.  When I
encounter a crash, I just add some of these debug tags into my code to
locate the problem.  So I might add a "Debug(1);" command, then a
"Debug(2);" command a few lines after.  When the crash happens, if the
top-left of the screen shows "1" then I know the crash was between
these 2 debug statements.  Crude, yes, but it works for me.

If I want to display more than one debug message, I use the DebugXY
function to place additional messages at other parts of the display.
DebugT functions allow debug output of short text strings.

(if any of you programmers out there are ROFL at what I just wrote,
I'd be more than willing to entertain any well-meaning advice on how
to debug the right way.  And for the not-so-well-meaning,... I've got
a pretty thick skin...  have at it!)

Here are the code fragments.

void Debug(Int32 i){
 if (debugEnabled) DebugXY(i,0,0);
}   

void DebugXY(Int32 i, UInt8 x, UInt8 y){
 Char st[32];

 if (debugEnabled) WinDrawChars(StrCat(StrIToA(st,i)," "),12,
x, y);
}   

void DebugTXY(Char *p, UInt8 x, UInt8 y){
 if (debugEnabled){
   if (p){
 if (StrLen(p)<15) WinDrawChars(p, StrLen(p), x, y);
 else WinDrawChars(p, 15, x, y);
   }
   else WinDrawChars("null ptr", 8, x, y);
 }
}   

void DebugT(Char *p){
 if (debugEnabled) DebugTXY(p, 100, 0);
}

Oops.  Forgot to mention that debugEnabled is just a global Boolean
variable that I use to control whether or not debug messages are
displayed or supressed on my Palm.

On my machine, it is the sub folder "Card1" in the folder that I put the Simulator 
program

C:\palmcode\Simulator121102\Debug\PalmSim.exe
C:\palmcode\Simulator121102\Debug\Card1

I can never test VFS manager on the Simulator. I rememember a while back, Jeff Ishaq 
(or somebody)
said that it is better to test VFS manager on the Emulator.

I hope it works for you.

Heh, reminds me of the work I had to do when debugging a Handspring-
-based GSM device that would drop the debug connection as soon as
the serial comms kicked in.  I built a simple logging system that wrote 
to a database.  IMHO this work is worth doing because it then becomes
available for other purposes, in my case the most obvious purpose 
being switching it on when a difficult client was testing the code so that
his "It crashed!!" message could be replied to by "In your backup
folder will be a file called blah.pdb, please email me that file".

I always had this feeling that I was doing things the dumb newbie way
but after spending half a day of tight deadline time trying to work around
the problem I decided to go with a solution that was gauranteed to 
produce a result for me after a certain amount of work.  That's certainly
not true for trying to resolve debugger problems.

My primary complaint was that the Simulator didn't provide an easy way
to insert/remove (mount/unmount) the media, whereas the Emulator does.
Additionally, I discovered that the Sony Clié emulator sometimes works
even better than POSE does for VFS stuff, like debugging into
card-launches as "start.prc" and the like.

I've used exactly the same method many time sin the last two years

for 25+ years, and the debugging methods haven't changed all that 
much. :-) Still decoding hex error codes.

Idiot C/C++ Pointer Question

[Régis Daniel de Oliveira]

Hy all!

I'm trying to build a function that will have 2 pointers as parameters.

When this function is called by the main function, is should modify the 2nd
parameter and the main function should be able to work with the second
parameter modified. But, inside the function that work with the pointers,
everything works well, but, when the second function exits, the pointer of
main functions hasn't changed. Look the code below:


void ForwardColumnsOnRecord(Char *LastColumn, Char *DestColumn, UInt16
NumColsToAdvance)
{

int Count;
int NumChars=0;


DestColumn = LastColumn;

for (Count = 0; Count < NumColsToAdvance; Count++)
{
NumChars = NumChars + StrLen(DestColumn) + 1;
DestColumn = LastColumn + NumChars;
}

return;
}



dbPtrF = NULL;
OpenDatabase(&dbPtrF, "SAF_CLIENTES");

{
MemHandle h;
Char *Codigo, *Razao;

h = DmQueryRecord(dbPtrF, SelectedClientIDX);
Codigo = (Char *) MemHandleLock(h);




ForwardColumnsOnRecord(Codigo, Razao, 1); // here, the pointer Razao
shoud assume the value that DestColumn assumed inside the code, but it,s not
working.
}

DmCloseDatabase(dbPtrF);


Thanks all, and sorry by the idiot question!

Re: Idiot C/C++ Pointer Question

[Régis Daniel de Oliveira]

Hy!

I found the problema...

I forgot to put the '&' before the 2nd parameter passed to the function, and
did'n used the second pointer as pointer.

Look:

void ForwardColumnsOnRecord(Char *LastColumn, Char **DestColumn, UInt16
NumColsToAdvance)
{

 int Count;
 int NumChars=0;


 *DestColumn = LastColumn;

 for (Count = 0; Count < NumColsToAdvance; Count++)
 {
  NumChars = NumChars + StrLen(*DestColumn) + 1;
  *DestColumn = LastColumn + NumChars;
 }

return;
}


The function should be called like this:
ForwardColumnsOnRecord(Codigo, &Razao, 1);


Thanks all!
