[android-beginners] Using C++ calls from Java
Prolog is preferable in order to take advantage of the natural language processing capabilities of the Prolog language, and hence I am interested in using Prolog to write apps for Android. It's clear from the FAQ that Android only supports applications written using the Java programming language at this time. However, if the C++ code can compile to target the Android, and the Android can have binary files loaded onto it, then you could develop applications using Prolog and call them from Java for deployment on the phone. Is that possible? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Where are the emulator files?
Simple question, I've searched the web, I've searched the groups, and I simply can't figure this one out. Where are the emulator files located? In particular, when an app is installed on the emulator, say by running it from Eclipse, or alternatively, when an app running on the emulator creates a data file (in its private Android file system space for example), where do these files go? Where can I see them on my computer so I can debug the file output and make sure it's correct?

[android-beginners] Re: Run with Eclipse
The code looks ok... you'll need to provide the specific error.
On the left side of the screen there should be a little red x where
the error is. If you hover over it, it should tell you what the
problem is.
Or, you can look for a tab called problems in one of the toolbar
areas. If you can't find it you can go to Window Show View Other
General Problems to open it. Then you can see where all your
errors are, double click them and it will take you to the point in
code where the error is.

[android-beginners] Customizing tutorial notepad, cannot see record that was just added
I'm trying to customize the sample notepad app. I want to add items
automatically from another source (an array, a web service, whatever,
it's hard coded right now) instead of having the user enter them.
After the item is added to the db (via the menu), I want the item
details to be displayed.
Right now, the item is successfully added to the list, but I just get
a blank screen. If I hit back, the item appears in the list and if I
click on the item in the list, I can see the details without a
problem.
The code for displaying the details after adding a new item is nearly
identical to just displaying the details alone (except for the method
to actually add it to the database). Both are using the same layout
XML (maybe that's a problem?) so I'm not sure where the breakdown is.
Maybe I'm missing some understanding of the XML UI...
The only thing I can tell that is really different is that the rowId
is automatically added to the Intent extras when clicking on the list
item, but not when choosing to add a new item from the menu (since the
rowId isn't known yet). I tried adding the rowId into the Intent
extras, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried forwarding to the View activity after adding to the DB, which
worked, but then I had issues with the back button and figured I'd go
with this simpler (though redundant) strategy until I can figure out
what I'm doing wrong.
Any thoughts?
Here is the relevant calling code from the main class:. It should
look a lot like the tutorial...
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case REFRESH_ID:
refreshVerse();
return true;
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
private void refreshVerse() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, VerseRefresh.class);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_REFRESH);
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position,
long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Intent i = new Intent(this, VerseView.class);
i.putExtra(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, id);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_VIEW);
}
And here is my Add item class (which I call refresh):
public class VerseRefresh extends Activity {
private VerseDbAdapter mDbHelper;
private Long mRowId;
private TextView mVerseDate;
private TextView mVerseNumber;
private TextView mVerseText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDbHelper = new VerseDbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
setContentView(R.layout.verse_details);
mVerseDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseDate);
mVerseNumber = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseNumber);
mVerseText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseText);
// since this is a new row, there will not be any id in the
savedInstanceState.
//mRowId = savedInstanceState != null ?
savedInstanceState.getLong
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
//if (mRowId == null) {
// Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
// mRowId = extras != null ? extras.getLong
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
//}
getVerse();
Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, mRowId);
populateFields();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
// not needed
//saveState();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
populateFields();
}
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putLong(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, mRowId);
}
private void populateFields() {
if (mRowId != null) {
Cursor note = mDbHelper.fetchVerse(mRowId);
startManagingCursor(note);
mVerseDate.setText(note.getString(note.getColumnIndexOrThrow
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_VERSE_DATE)));
mVerseNumber.setText(note.getString(note.getColumnIndexOrThrow
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_VERSE_NUMBER)));
mVerseText.setText(note.getString(note.getColumnIndexOrThrow

[android-beginners] Re: Eclipse Debugging Question
Have you stepped through the code to ensure that every line is getting
executed as expected and checked the variables list to make sure all
the expected values are set?
The one thing I am curious about is these lines:
todoItems.add(0, myEditText.getText().toString());
myEditText.setText();
I haven't used in Java in a good 2 years, so I could be forgetting the
specifics, but since Java handles everything as pointers behind the
scenes, when you call setText(), the pointer that you is created by
todoItems.add() may also be getting set to and therefore comes out
blank. Try commenting out the setText(); and see if that does
anything.

[android-beginners] Re: Customizing tutorial notepad, cannot see record that was just added
Well, I never figured it out, but while I was waiting I ended up doing
it in a cleaner way and got around my issues.
How long until I'm no longer a moderated noob???
On Dec 10, 12:04 pm, filbert filbert...@gmail.com wrote:
I'm trying to customize the sample notepad app. I want to add items
automatically from another source (an array, a web service, whatever,
it's hard coded right now) instead of having the user enter them.
After the item is added to the db (via the menu), I want the item
details to be displayed.
Right now, the item is successfully added to the list, but I just get
a blank screen. If I hit back, the item appears in the list and if I
click on the item in the list, I can see the details without a
problem.
The code for displaying the details after adding a new item is nearly
identical to just displaying the details alone (except for the method
to actually add it to the database). Both are using the same layout
XML (maybe that's a problem?) so I'm not sure where the breakdown is.
Maybe I'm missing some understanding of the XML UI...
The only thing I can tell that is really different is that the rowId
is automatically added to the Intent extras when clicking on the list
item, but not when choosing to add a new item from the menu (since the
rowId isn't known yet). I tried adding the rowId into the Intent
extras, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I tried forwarding to the View activity after adding to the DB, which
worked, but then I had issues with the back button and figured I'd go
with this simpler (though redundant) strategy until I can figure out
what I'm doing wrong.
Any thoughts?
Here is the relevant calling code from the main class:. It should
look a lot like the tutorial...
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case REFRESH_ID:
refreshVerse();
return true;
}
return super.onMenuItemSelected(featureId, item);
}
private void refreshVerse() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, VerseRefresh.class);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_REFRESH);
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position,
long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Intent i = new Intent(this, VerseView.class);
i.putExtra(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, id);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_VIEW);
}
And here is my Add item class (which I call refresh):
public class VerseRefresh extends Activity {
private VerseDbAdapter mDbHelper;
private Long mRowId;
private TextView mVerseDate;
private TextView mVerseNumber;
private TextView mVerseText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mDbHelper = new VerseDbAdapter(this);
mDbHelper.open();
setContentView(R.layout.verse_details);
mVerseDate = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseDate);
mVerseNumber = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseNumber);
mVerseText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.verseText);
// since this is a new row, there will not be any id in the
savedInstanceState.
//mRowId = savedInstanceState != null ?
savedInstanceState.getLong
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;
//if (mRowId == null) {
// Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
// mRowId = extras != null ? extras.getLong
(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID) : null;

getVerse();
Intent i = getIntent();
i.putExtra(VerseDbAdapter.KEY_ROWID, mRowId);

everything that is written to /data on the emulated device is stored on your host machine in a file named userdata-qemu.img, which is a disk image containing all of /data. It is located in a platform-specific directory. it's normally in $HOME/.android/, and in the local application directory on Windows, which differ between XP and Vista.

This really fresh out of the womb newbie wants to learn to develop for android. That means, I take it, learning java. Is that right? And if I need a platform to work on, let's say I want to do it on the popular Eclipse. Is there a good book of instruction that will cover both these avenues under one cover? If not, are there 2 good books to do it? Thanks much for your input. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: anyone buy an android dev phone?
Does anyone know if there is an email address for brightstar so I can check on my order status? I'm out of country and can't really make the call where I am. I ordered on monday w/ regular delivery. The order doesn't even show up in my google checkout, thought I have an order number and receipt and the money has been deducted already from my bank account. _henry On Dec 10, 2008, at 2:45 PM, cyntacks wrote: Ok, I took matters into my own hands :) I called the company that is processing these orders (Brightstar), it was explained to me by the extremely helpful and nice representative (Not sarcastic at all, apparently they only have one person answering the calls for all Android inquiries and she couldn't be nicer!) that the orders are being processed but there appears to be an issue with the shipping confirmation emails (more than one person has called in to ask about this). BUT, she did have the capability to look up my order and determine it will likely be a few days before it ships (hence no shipping confirm for me). So, if you ordered after 10pm last night (which is when I did) you probably won't get the device until mid-next week.

[android-beginners] Re: WebView and G1 flipping
rob...@smarteragent.com wrote: Hello all, I have an application which is using a WebView object to navigate some web pages that we provide. I notice that when I run the application on the G1, and flip the phone open (to enter text into a form) the WebView reloads the content - and as it's an ajax generated page, it ends up back at the main menu. Is there any way to capture the being flipped open event and change the aspect ratio of the web page without reloading it? Failing that, is there at least a way to prevent it from reloading? On the latter point, you may want to check out Part Four of my Rotational Forces series on AndroidGuys: http://androidguys.com/?p=2891 This isn't so much a WebView thing as it is an Activity thing. WebView is particularly troublesome, in that you can't control it quite the way you do widgets and such. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Disabling / clearing browser cache
Patrick wrote: Hello, I am creating an application that times how long it takes to open certain web pages. However, the device is using cached versions of pages to determine these times, which is not what I want. Is there a way to: 1) Clear the cache via API OR 2) Disable the cache, either through the UI or API? Help is very much appreciated, Are you sure your server is serving the content with the appropriate Last-Modified, ETag, and Cache-Control headers? The browser is WebKit, so I'm pretty sure it's going to honor these sorts of things. If you're testing using the actual device and using the data network, it is possible there is a transparent proxy somewhere in the midst of T-Mobile that is screwing those things up. Try it using WiFi, or use the emulator, and see if the problem persists. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

If you look in the documentation for Intent:
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Intent.html
you will see that DIAL_ACTION is now ACTION_DIAL. I think
setLaunchFlags(Intent.NEW_TASK_LAUNCH) is now
setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK), though I am not completely certain.
The example you are working from is probably for the older M5 SDK, so
you may have other changes you need to make to have it work on the
current SDK.
