Hi Dave,
First - thanks for the reply.
Maybe im missing something here, but what is the app's message

I am creating the thread with the following line:
mPacManThread = new PacManThread(mSurfaceHolder, context, null);
The PacManThread takes the following arguments (used the LunarLander
thread as a reference):
PacManThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Context context, Handler

I have left the handler null. I presume the message looper concept has
something to do with this handler. I didn't understand its purpose at

I have read the class description, but still in the dark as far as its

So, I guess my question is, what is a message looper and what

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Thread Question
Android is a message driven application framework. The message looper
is the thread that reads messages queued for your application and
calls the methods in your application based on the message context. By
calling sleep, you effectively put your entire application to sleep
for 10 seconds because it can't respond to any external messages
coming from the framework. You never want to call sleep from any
function that is called directly or indirectly by the framework.

[android-beginners] Re: Basic Thread Question
On Jan 20, 12:04 pm, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.com wrote: Android is a message driven application framework. The message looper is the thread that reads messages queued for your application and calls the methods in your application based on the message context. By calling sleep, you effectively put your entire application to sleep for 10 seconds because it can't respond to any external messages coming from the framework. You never want to call sleep from any function that is called directly or indirectly by the framework. So never call Sleep in an Android Application? - Juan T. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Problem in playing a video file
Thanks Dave, Your ideas have really help me a lot. I have start working on getting a web server from where I can download my files. I will come back here when I finish that task. Thanks again for your thoughtful help. On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 10:47 PM, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.comwrote: You can use res/raw for audio files that aren't too large. As I said earlier, I think the problem with video files is that the appt compiler compresses them. You could decompress them yourself and copy them to the SD card. Or you could download the files from a server when the application installs. On Jan 19, 3:30 am, Mahesh Vaghela mah...@indianic.com wrote: Hi Dave, Thanks for the info. Finally I have decided to put all my audio data to SD card. I can do this as suggested by you for a manual check. *adb push /path/on/workstation/video.mp4 /sdcard* This will work on my emulator. If I want to do this for a real device than my code should first push all my audio data in the user's SD card. Can you please show me a way how to do this? Is there any predefined folder like drawable/raw (Or some other like this) which can directly put our data in sdcard instead of application's private folder? On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 1:34 AM, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.com wrote: You can call android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get the path to the external storage device. That will handle the case where recommended external store is no the SD card but some other device. If there is no external storage, you can try saving to your app's private data directory. Another alternative it to stream the media from a server, but this obviously introduces the complexity and cost of maintaining the service for your users. All of the Android standard apps (camera, music, sound recorder) that create or use media files assume that the device will have external storage. In the end, you have to decide whether it's worth supporting users that don't have external storage. On Jan 17, 1:29 am, Mahesh Vaghela mah...@indianic.com wrote: Dave, Thank you very much for replying soon. I understand how to push my mp4 in a sd card and retrive the same. I am a bit curious to know limitation of doing this. 1. sd card may not be an part of all the Android devices. 2. If it is the case, all users may not purchase it as an extra item considering extra cost. 3. If so, an application which reads only from an sd card may not work properly on all devices. Can you please guide me if there is an alternate way for storing the media files? I know I can directly keep this in, with my apk under raw folder, but this will made an application larger to download. The total disk size available for an android application is only 70 mb. So one has to think for keeping his apk size to minimum.

Usually - no matter what kind of bug you might have - something happens, it's just not what you expected to happen. For example, do you have log output? My guess is that you cannot use an MP4 as a raw resource because it gets compressed. I can't recall if we exclude it or not, but you normally don't want to bundle a resource like a video file into your resources. As a first step, I would try pushing it to the SD card and playing it from there. On Jan 16, 7:49 am, srini amul srinia...@yahoo.com wrote: Below is a step which i tried to play a mp4 file.

[android-beginners] Export to sim somewhat working...
Ok I wrote an application based off the SIM import tool located on the latest source for Android, its crude but it should work, i need help polishing it off and I would hope that it would make it into the main tree in time for release. THIS IS CODE EMBEDDED IN THE SOURCE NOT THE SDK. I was wondering if there was a way to attach the files needed on here so others can take a look and touch up/finish up the code? The part I am having most trouble at is the actual writing to SIM portion as the emulator doesn't have a fake SIM I can't actually see if the code works, but I think it does, although it is lacking so data check features (ie. check to see if the entry already exists on the SIM card and copy or don't copy, as well as there is no feature for onListItemClick() so nothing happens when you tap it/select it). The export all feature seems to work fine with no force close, the import one seems to force close for some reason... Either way if someone is willing to help finish this thing off id be happy to provide the code, and id love to see this in the next build.
