[android-beginners] Random question on app market
Okay, so it's not a dev question, but I was wondering if anyone knew. For arguments sake, lets say I had G1, and then later I bought a HTC Hero. I've purchased paid apps on my G1, but now I want to transfer those over to my HTC Hero. Would I have to repurchase them again? or are they linked to my google account or something similar? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] How to deal with service permission?
Hello, I have implemented a service which must start another service and I get a permission exception. The implementation of the two services are in two different projects, i.e. in two different apk. The first apk contains a package my.package, the first service my.package.service1 and an abstract class my.package.abstractservice which extends the Service class. The second apk contains the implementation of the second service my.package.service2 which extends my.package.abstractservice. When service1 starts service2 with the function startService(), I get an error telling that the system can't start service2 without private permissions. So I modify the manifest files: the first apk declares and uses my own permission, and in the second apk I added android:permission=... in the declaration of service2 in the manifest file. But I get a SecurityException telling that service2 can't be started without the requested permission. I have checked the application settings and the dumpsys of adb. Permission is well attributed, but this does not help. One thing I read in this group is that the order of the installation of packages declaring permissions and those using them is important. I noticed that when debugging service2, its apk is first installed in the emulator, then the first apk (which declares the permission) is installed. Probably due to the fact that service2 extends the abstract class of the first apk. Is it this the origin of my permission problem?

[android-beginners] mapActivity problem,cant use when already app's process dead.
hi,
i wanna use alarmmanager and call new mapactivity.
its test code.i checked bc_test is called.and if set line A,this class
can call Activity_normal's activity.
-its called by
alarmmanager.---
public class bc_test extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
Context context = ctx;
Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//newIntent = new Intent(context, Activity_normal.class);//line
A
newIntent = new Intent(context, Activity_map.class);//line B
newIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(newIntent);

[android-beginners] image creating in code
Hi there,
i am at the moment attempting to get my head round all this java and android
stuff in the hope to making one of my games run on the android platform.
The game i am hoping to port / convert is a tile base puzzle game, where you
put pices onto a board, these pieces are shapes of different colours.
Right now all my stuff is C and SDL based, so to create the pieces i have a
grey shaded image of the shape, a black outline of the shape, and several
colour textures, so to save having hundreds of images of all the shapes in
all the colours, i create all the game pieces in the code, by putting the
colour onto the grey with alpha, creating a coloured shape then overlaying
the outline then set a mask, creating my game coloured outlined and masked
game piece.
is there any fucntions in the android set that i can achieve this sort of
thing?
here is my original c code...
SDL_Surface *makeshape( int colourn , int shapen )
{
// handlers for working surfaces
SDL_Surface *surface ;
SDL_Surface *image ;
SDL_Surface *color;
SDL_Surface *shae;
SDL_Surface *shaem;
// sdl rect to choose areas of surfaces
SDL_Rect pos;
// get the base images we are going to use
color=SDL_DisplayFormat(colour[colourn]);
shae=SDL_DisplayFormat(shape[shapen]);
shaem=SDL_DisplayFormat(shapem[shapen]);
// make the inside of the outline masked ready to go ober the shape at tyhe
end
setmaskwhite(shaem);
// create a random texture to plot over grey shape
surface=SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, PCS, PCS, 32, rmask, gmask,
bmask, amask);
pos.x=randoon(64)-64;
pos.y=randoon(64)-64;
SDL_BlitSurface(texbase[randoon(2)+1] , NULL , shae , pos);
pos.x=randoon(64)-64;
pos.y=randoon(64)-64;
SDL_BlitSurface(texbase[randoon(2)+1] , NULL , shae , pos);
pos.x=randoon(64)-64;
pos.y=randoon(64)-64;
// plot the colour over the grey shape creating a coloured shape
SDL_BlitSurface(color , NULL , shae , pos);
// put the coloured shape into a fresh surface, not sure why this is here :/
SDL_BlitSurface(shae, NULL , surface , NULL);
// put the outline over the new coloured shape
SDL_BlitSurface(shaem, NULL , surface , NULL);
// set the outside of the shape to mask
setmaskblack(surface);
// create the final coloured outlined masked shape at current screen
settings
image = SDL_DisplayFormat(surface);
SDL_FreeSurface(surface);
SDL_FreeSurface(color);
SDL_FreeSurface(shae);
SDL_FreeSurface(shaem);
// return the new coloured shape
return image;
}
hope this all makes sence...
thanks.

[android-beginners] Webview and RTSP link
Hi All, I have a web page that displays product details and thumbnail image of that product. When a thumbnail is clicked, it plays the video of that product via a rtsp link. In Android phone G1, when I view the above page in the browser and click a thumbnail, it plays the rtsp link video perfectly. I have developed a small application in Android which uses the Webview control to display the same web page. In the Webview, the page is getting loaded. But, when I click a thumbnail, the rtsp link video (same as above) is not getting played. Instead, an error message stating that the page may not be available is displayed. I understand that the Webview uses the same code as the browser. But, it is not working in Webview. I am sure I am missing something simple here.

[android-beginners] Re: How to install and run applications from within another application?
How does the process for retrieving system rights look like? Its a matter of signatures. Whoever signs the system is also going to need to sign any app that wants system privileges. I suppose this problem shouldn't exist if I was able to save the .apk file in the private directory of my application and then invoke the system install UI on the file. Well, no, you can't have your cake and eat it to. The package manager needs to be able to read the APK file to install the app. In order to do this you need to place the APK in a world-readable location because you can't have the same UID or GID as the package manager. No matter what you do, if you want to allow the package manager to read the file, everyone can. Now, if you put the file in your private directory and set the mode to MODE_WORLD_READABLE, the package manager may be able to read the file, I think it should be able to. Everyone else can, but they would have to know the exact path because I don't believe they can list the directory in which the file resides. Now, regardless of where the APK is placed, you should probably delete it after installation, otherwise you're at least doubling storage space required per application. If you delete the APK after its installed, you also fix your install only to device downloaded on.

[android-beginners] Re: adb - for developer handsets only
You can run adb against any Android device connected in debugging mode (supported on at least the G1). ADB basically enables a remote console to your device, although technically ADB will generally work carriers like T-Mobile may/are putting their own restrictions on what you can do from the local console (using ADB or launching a console locally on the phone). So, for instance of the commands you currently list, remount, push and install will work but root will not. BTW - I found that push (and likely pull) only works for small files (a few megabytes only). Anything larger than just a few megabytes appears to not only lockup but also dump unreadable files thereby requiring a reformat (I was trying to push to a SDCARD).

[android-beginners] Re: problem starting emulator from command line
The reason the android emulator starting from within Eclipse did not appear to have some emulator options available is that I did not fully extend the window shown in response to the Eclipse Run/Run Configurations/Target menu item.

[android-beginners] Re: Garbage Collection of Threads
On Jul 3, 4:50 pm, Drifter daveh...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: I've finally figured out the discrepancy. Using the following code, I ran it through the debugger (in Eclipse, WinXP, emulator) and then ran it just through the emulator - I get different results. The debugger shows TestThread Running while the non-debugger version shows TestThread FinaIizing. I believe the debugger holds a reference to the TestThread which prevents it from getting garbage collected. Yes, I should've spotted that earlier. The debugger queries all threads, and references to the Thread objects get passed around. The debugger support in Dalvik is somewhat simple-minded, and takes the approach that anything the debugger might care about cannot be discarded. (This isn't necessary, but it does make life a lot simpler.) So yes, if you have a debugger attached you're not going to see Thread objects get collected. (You also won't see most Exception objects get cleaned up, which is rather more of a problem.) See Known Issues and Limitations in dalvik/docs/debugger.html, or http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/dalvik.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/debugger.html;hb=HEAD .
