That's kind of an unexpected workflow. The idea is that either you go the full way in Eclipse or you use Ant/DDMS. Trying to combine both is a recipe for confusion :-) What you can try: - use Ant to compile - use the ant "install" or "reinstall" target to push the apk - launch app manually - you

I have an app that communicates with a server. While it is communicating, it shows a progress dialog. The way this actually works is that I have a class that I call my NetworkGateway. Each method takes a Handler as a callback so that the gateway can send back the response as a bundle when it ha

[android-developers] Cannot allocate any memory when using camera pic

I have an app that displays a camera picture as part of it, but if the picture is in memory I get an out of memory exception when an allocation of any size happens no matter what. If the app uses a seekbar in addition to my PictureView the ~900 bytes it allocates are too much. I even tried to lo

I'm not sure about the exact point of failure, which - indeed - seems very precisely cut against the memory needed to load exactly one camera pic. However, you can avoid this. Don't load the full size pic. Load the bitmap using the BitmapFactory and set the Config's inSampleSize attribute to a va

I just looked at it. 1) They state that it is only an optimization and that you are not to rely on the method being called. 2) My design is a little too complex to use that elegantly. I do network calls from multiple activities and some dialogs on those activities, which need to chain to othe

I agree you should use a service. But for optimization, i would use this method. You should have a call to the service to query if the service is still busy. If so, show a progress dialog and start listening to the service to know when it no longer is busy (callback from the service into your app
