Re: [android-developers] Re: Application state when Home pressed

My current understanding of the problem is, there's an "update method" that needs to be called when any of the activities come to the foreground, that is, in the onResume() method of the particular activity that's coming to the foreground, but in some cases, when this "update method" is called, the

Re: [android-developers] Re: Application state when Home pressed

Assuming that the update method makes an HTTP request, but doing it for each time onResume() is called is excessive, wouldn't the most obvious strategy be to cache the data? That is, when onResume() is called, check how long ago the last HTTP request was made. If it was too long ago, perform the HT

Re: [android-developers] Re: about handle the home key

I assume you intend to have people download this app from the Android Market. If so, what's to keep ANY Android app on Market from disabling the Home key? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group. To post to this group, send email to

Re: [android-developers] Re: Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android

Fabrizio, thanks for sharing that Forbes article (http://blogs.forbes.com/taylorbuley/2010/08/13/android-lawsuit-is-really-just-oracle-flirting-with-google/). It confirmed some of my thinking, but added the interesting "bear hug" angle. I wonder if that is really the case. -- You received this m

Re: [android-developers] Problem with Saxparser and malformed XML

It would help a lot more if you gave the URL of the data you are trying to parse. I can't really see what's going on in your code, which looks OK. I've also had more luck tracking down SAXParser errors by using the Eclipse debugger to step through the code. -- You received this message because yo

Re: [android-developers] Pros/cons of multiple activities in an app vs. one activity, multiple views

It probably matters more what you are trying to do. If you are trying to subvert Andriod's activity model, you may run into problems. If the views are actually views of the same activity, you're OK. What would be views of the same activity? Projections, selections, sorts, text vs graph, etc. --

Re: [android-developers] Re: tea time

Typical newbie problems are trying to do everything in onCreate() and null pointer exception because some varibale isn't initialized. I think using the debugger is even better than logcat. Are you using Eclipse? The debugger is easy to use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Re: [android-developers] Need confirmation: it is impossible to programmatically set the default locale in a device, right?

I'd be surprised if you can't do per-app locale changes in Android. I know for a fact it can be done in Java Swing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group. To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com To

Re: [android-developers] make automatic login on application

I'd use SharedPreferences for that. You will also need to add a use case for the user uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. In that case, SharedPreferences would be empty, but your server DB would have a record of the prior registration. -- You received this message because you are subscrib

Re: [android-developers] Exiting Application

As far as I can tell, your conception of an Android application is mistaken. The closest thing is that from time to time the Android OS allocates memory resources, in the form of an underlying Linux process, to an Android application so that the application's activities and services can perform the
