[android-beginners] Re: storing values of an array

2009-05-21 Thread Raphael

Simply serialize your ints to a string and write in a simple sqlite
database. It's rather inexpensive and compact. You don't need a
provider or things like that, just use the database helper (there's
one in some sample) to create the db and a couple of query/select
commands to store and restore.

Alternatively you can do even simpler by storing the string as an app
preference:

prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
prefs.edit().putString(name, value).commit();
prefs.getString(name);

 is there anyway that these two arrays can be stored on the device and
 accessed later? the option of using SQL seemed a little to extensive
 since the data is just a simple array.

[android-beginners] Messaging between 2 threads

2009-05-21 Thread Latha Shivanna
Hi All

I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the
main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.

The requirement is like this.

An activity(say Activity_X) is setting the view by setContentView(some
View_Y). In Activity_X i have implemeted onCreateOptionsMenu() and
onOptionsItemSelected() fucntions for creating menus  a switch case for
action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like
resume/pause/zoom/ .


All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in View_Y
in a separate Gamethread by extending Thread class.

So whenever a menu is selected in Activity_X i need to send a message to
View_Y. And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called
in View_Y(GameThread).

How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this?
Please do share with me some code snippets for these.
Your advises are highly appreciable. Thank you for your time.

[android-beginners] Re: Messaging between 2 threads

2009-05-21 Thread Mark Murphy

Please do not post several messages across two lists in a very short
period of time. All you do is irritate those who might help you.

 I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the
 main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created
 Gamethread.

Are you sure that is the proper architecture?

 Is there any other way of doing this?

Generally speaking, java.util.concurrent is full of classes designed to
help coordination between threads. For example, I have used
LinkedBlockingQueue to arrange for work to be done by a long-lived
background thread.

The question should not be how do I send messages to a background thread
-- after all, what is the thread *doing* if it is not responding to
messages? The answer should not be Thread.sleep() or busy-waiting.

The question should be how do I arrange for such-and-so work to be done
in the background, in which case thread pools (using AsyncTask or
LinkedBlockingQueue) may be the proper answer.

If you are new to multithreaded programming in Java, I encourage you to
read up on the subject, such as _Java Concurrency in Practice_.

instructions in the Map View Tutorial, Obtaining the Maps API key, and
Signing exactly, but no map whatsoever. I'm using Eclipse Ganymed and
SDK 1.5, so according to the Signing section, everything should work
fine - I have JAVA_HOME set up properly as well as PATH pointing to
the java/bin directory, where keytool is located. I also checked the
firewall to see if it was blocking Eclipse or the emulator, resolved
that, but still no map! What else can I try to have the map shown?

[android-beginners] Log out of Google account attached to ADP?

2009-05-21 Thread JustinD

Hey folks,

Banging my head against the wall here.

Apparently you cannot purchase copy-protected apps from the Market on
an ADP. Which means, we can't test our published paid app, as we only
have the one ADP in-house.

So I had a mind to go to a T-Mo store and ask to use one of their demo
phones.

Thing is - I can't figure out how to *log out* of a Google account on
the phone. I'd like to log out of the account on their demo phone, log
into ours, buy the app, see if things work, then log out.

Can… can you even log out?

Thanks…

[android-beginners] Can Android1.5 be directly used on x86 based netbooks?

2009-05-21 Thread GrainWang

Dear friends:
I'm a fresh guy on Android system. And have the following
questions:
1. Can Android 1.5 be directly used on X86 based netbooks? I
heard that there's a project named Asus eee701, but in the branch of
Cupcake, I don't konw if Cupcake means the same for
Android,what's the  difference?
2. How to get a detemined version of a determined branch. I
have checked the repo help init,and got something like this:
 Manifest options:
  -b REVISION,--manifest-branch=REVISION
  manifest branch or revison
 repo Version options:
 -repo-branch =REVISION
   repo branch or revison

 But I don't understand it clearly,so how to check the avaible
cupcake branches versions and get them,and the correspoding command
is? repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b
android-1.5 --anifest branch =cupecake?
3.Further more,Android's mediaframe work OpenCore's current
version is V2.02, is there any formal release than can be directly in
x86 based netbooks or laptops. I want to add more codecs into it.so
need to get the code that fit x86 architecture and can be easily
built.
Thanks in advance!

[android-beginners] nfs server crashes on android startup

2009-05-21 Thread Erik

Has anybody seen this before?

I have an android system where I use NFS for the root file system and
use tftp to load the zImage.

Linux starts just fine and is able to source the init.rc file stored
in the rootfs in /.  At about the time Android starts, NFS server
contact is lost and the console displays the famous message:

  nfs: server ###.###.###.### not responding, still trying.

The message is displayed about six times.  The target system still
responds to pings.  It also presents a prompt where I can do very
limited commands.

I traced the hang to something related to starting zygote, but I have
no clue about what zygote might be doing that causes the hang.
Commenting out zygote related lines in the init.rc keeps the system
from hanging, but Android doesn't start.

Here is the really odd thing: the problem only happens on Debian
systems (both Debian 10 and Ubuntu 8.10 display the problem).   I can
serve the same zImage and root file system from Red Hat systems
(Fedora 10 and RHEL5) with no problems at all.

I can also mount the rootfs from the Debian machines to either the
RedHat or Debian machines without issues.

Any suggestions about what might be going on with Debian?

Thanks

Erik

[android-beginners] Re: Please Help! I Can't get the ADT Plugin to Install

2009-05-21 Thread Mridul

I faced this same problem for full half day. After reading all the
posts on the issue and trying everything I could, I got this feeling
that this issue has something to do with network connectivity/cache.
Thought of trying after clearing Firefox cache. And yes, it worked
(dont ask me how, why etc).

[android-beginners] porting old java to android

2009-05-21 Thread Chris Mac Morrison

Hi all

I've dug out some old java code i want to port to android.

so far so simple

but im getting a real beginners errors

I got lunar lander SDK sample app and ive added in a variable

   private int pw;

and a function that refers to it

  private void test() {

pw=0;

}

i get pw cannot be resolved.

but when i remove the reference to it in the function its no problem.

i can't see how what im doing is any different to the existing
variables and functions.

Background info: im used to text editing java, rather than eclipse IDE/
XML but I'm pretty sure I don't need to define it anywhere other than
in the .java file.

[android-beginners] Calling a Service from an Activity

2009-05-21 Thread Pablo

Hi all,

I want to call a Service from an Activity but I'm having some problems
with concepts surely. I briefly describe the steps I'm following to do
this:

1.- I call the Service from the Activity using:

startService(new Intent(com.goldberg.DETECTED));


2.- I have to declare my service on the Manifest and bound it with the
Intent. So I add the following code to the Manifest:

service android:name=.Player
intent-filter
action android:name=com.goldberg.DETECTED /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
/intent-filter
/service


3.- I code on my service the onCreate(), with the actions to do, and
the onDestroy() methods.

When the Activity calls startService the Service is not started and I
get no log entries on the LogCat. I'm afraid there is some issue
related with the Intent or some step that i'm not considering...

Thanx,

Pablo

[android-beginners] SDK USB driver for Vista SP1 won't install - Solution?

2009-05-21 Thread Tony Su
Howdy,

When I connect a G1 to Vista SP1, the phone is automatically recognized and 
Vista's own USB driver (WpdFs.dll and WUDFRd.sys) is installed, but that driver 
doesn't work.

Nothing I try seems to update or change the USB driver to the one supplied by 
the SDK...
Have tried 
uninstalling the device and re-scanning
Updating the driver in the Device Properties

When I try to force updating by manually pointing to the SDK driver, Vista 
says it's not even a driver. Of course, with Vista's improved security I can't 
disable/rename the Microsoft driver (permissions even an Admin can't touch).

Any ideas?

TIA,
Tony

Full deatils on the Vista SP1 driver...

1. It should call super.onResume()

2. Change

LocationManager manager = (null);
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

   to

LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)getSystemService
(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);


And make sure you request the following permission in your
