[android-developers] Google Maps Javascript API for android Application

Hi! I would like to create an android application, where users will be able to see the position of the other users on the map. This may sound awkward but I have something on my mind. My question is how to make that possible? How to put a mark of my users on Google Maps and how to show this to the

Could you please elaborate more and make an example? As for the Harmony HTTP API, yes it does have automatic retrying but at the end it will fail if a network error occurred (UnknownHostException, SocketTimeoutException etc...). I would need the user to initiate a retry then. Thank you! --

Re: [android-developers] Best practices for automatic retrying of AsyncTask

Yes it is necessary. The base abstract class provides all the plumbing for posting an HTTP request and handling exceptions while allowing subclasses to do their actual work. I would hate for each asynctask to write network error handling. The problem is, I cant find a proper way to reinstantiat

Hey guys, I have a base abstract class that all my asynctasks extend from. I have built in error handling for network errors where I display a dialog to the user telling them they can retry their request (after all it was a network error...). I am having a bit of a problem "retrying" my asynct

I have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:id/title, Android will not use the value defined

Agreed. For UI related cases that you might want to use that Context, the application one is not suited. Use depending on what you are trying to do :) On Oct 11, 11:13 am, Mark Murphy wrote: > On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 2:01 PM, Dimitris wrote: > > The context class is abstract. Whe

[android-developers] Re: Singleton object with context?

The context class is abstract. When you say context do you mean an Activity context? I suggest you look at the Application class (see getApplicationContext()) and pass that instead. It is much much safer from memory leaks rather than passing the Activity around. Try to also override the finalize()

[android-developers] Re: Developing Stand alone service

When you say "other applications can use the service" do you mean that they will remotely bind to it (using AIDL?). I cant think of another way. If so, the calling app can pass a flag to android (I think it is BIND_AUTO_CREATE) that will create the service if it is not running. On Oct 6, 6:49 pm,
