[android-beginners] Re: G2 vs G1
The phones are more or less identical to develop on. G1 has crazy small internal memory, G2 has no hardware keyboard, and there are something like 20 odd devices coming out over the coming year. http://phandroid.com/phones/ Pay your money, make your choice. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: need android source tree 1.1 cupcake branch
I believe that currently only android source tree 1.5 is available for branches (master,cupcake,donut,release-1.0,cdma-import) can be download using repo init. So, if I want to move android source tree (1.5 cupcake) back to 1.1 cupcake branch, I think it can be done with repo or git command on android source tree 1.5 cupcake branch with respective tags. If my assumption is correct, please suggest correct commands.

[android-beginners] Re: G2 vs G1
The lack of a physical keyboard was a problem for me on the Magic (some of my applications - like Teminal wouldn't work). There are workarounds, but require some advanced techniques, or downloading alternative applications. The lack of a physical keyboard also made flashing a new ROM more difficult (which may or not be something you chose to do), since there is not way to hit Alt-L or Alt-R during the reboot process. Again, there are workarounds (using Fastboot, etc), but I didn't have success with them. The G1 is not spec'ed as high as the magic (it has less internal memory, and a slower processor). I don't have resource limitations with my G1, but some people might. My personal recommendation would be to get the G1 Dev phone if you can. It will be easy to root, if it doesn't come that way anyway, and has the physical keyboard, which is important for certain applications and activities.

[android-beginners] Best practices - looking for application design advice for a location aware app.
I am working on my first android application and am looking for some advice on design decisions. The main goal of the application is to display trails (like cycling/ hiking trails) near the users current location. The user will first be presented with a mapview with markers indicating the location of near by trails. They can then select a trail and have it overlayed on the map. The biggest problem right now are: 1) the database is not static - new trails will be added periodically so a master database will be needed online. 2) trail data (gpx files) consume a lot of space, usually 50 - 300 kb per trail, so storing all trails on the device may not be feasible. The three main designs I see are the following: 1) Store light-weight data (like trail names, trail head location, trail distance, etc) in a local SQLite db on the device. Store the light-weight data in a remote database (MySQL or DB2) as well. Store heavy-data (the trail gpx files) remotely. New trails are added to the remote database. Periodically synchronize/update the local SQLite database with the remote (master) database. When a gpx file is needed, transfer it and parse it to display the overlay in mapview. Possibly store the 10 most frequently used trails (gpx files) on the device to save bandwidth. PRO: Getting the list of nearby trails is fast and easy because it simply queries the local SQLite database. PRO: Minimal amount of data is stored on the local device. CON: Transfering gpx files to the device + parsing them will be time consuming and power draining. 2) Store all data remotely. Don't store individual gpx files - parse their data into the database so all information needed in accessable through database queries. Parsing is done on the server. PRO: The android app consumes little space and all processing is done remotely. CON: High bandwidth use due to high number of queries and lots of returned data (could introduce lag and be costly on the data plan). 3) Store all data (light and heavy) both locally and remotely. Don't store individual gpx files - parse their data into the database so all information needed is accessible through database queries. New trails are added to the remote (master) database. Parsing of new trail gpx files is done remotely. Periodically synchronize/update the local SQLite database with the remote (master) database. PRO: All data is local so simply query the info needed. Good performance and low bandwidth use. PRO: Synchronization can be done at any time when a WiFi connection is available so no worry about data plan costs. CON: Will consume way too much space. 1000 trails could easily consume over 100 MB. Because the database is dynamic I see no way of avoiding having a master database stored remotely so I image any design will have to involve network access to a remote database at least for synchronization purposes if nothing else. Any advice, insight, or discussion is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

Mobile yusuf.s...@t-mobile.com wrote: Did you send this via twitter? I'm not perceptive enough to grasp what is happening in your description, but I recently wrote up an extended set of steps, including with regards to the AVD. I hope it helps. How to install the Android SDK in two dozen or so easy steps (based on http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html) To write Android programs, you will need to download and install three programs: Java, Eclipse and the Android SDK. 1. Java: this is the computer language you will be using to write programs on Android. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp . Click on the Download button next to the Java SE Development Kit. On the next page, select your platform (probably Windows), click on the I agree to the blah blah blah checkbox (after carefully reading the agreement of course), and click on continue. Download the file download link on the next page. Once it's downloaded, double-click on the file to install it. One point on installing files: if this is your computer, you can probably install anywhere, and most programs on Windows get put in the C:\Program Files directory. However, if this is for example a school computer, you may not be able to put the program there, in which case you can put it somewhere else, like the My Documents folder. Now you have to tell your PC where Java is, because for some reason the Java installer doesn't. On WindowsXP, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: ;C:\Program Files\java\jdk6\bin 2. Eclipse: this is the program you will use to program in Java on Android. Go to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads , click on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. It will take to the next page where you click on the green arrow to download. Unlike most modern software products, Eclipse has not have a fancy installation procedure. To install it, simply extract the zip file into some director on your computer. This will create a directory named eclipse. The executable program file is located in this directory and is called eclipse.exe. On Windows systems, it is a good idea to create a shortcut to this executable on your desktop. To do this, right-click on the eclipse.exe file and select Send To → Desktop. Eclipse stores all its files in a directory called its workspace. When Eclipse is run for the first time, it will ask you where you want the workspace to be placed. After this, you should see the Welcome to Eclipse 3.0 page. When you see this, you are ready to proceed to the next step. 3. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html . Select the the version for your computer. Your platform is probably Windows. When that file is downloaded, unzip it somewhere, such as C:\Program Files. It will then be in C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something, the something being the version number, like windows-1.5_r1. You have to tell your computer where you put it, because for some reason it can't figure that out itself. On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double- click on Path (under System Variables). Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something\tools Then tell Eclipse where to find it: a. Start Eclipse, then select Help Software Updates b. In the dialog that appears, click the Available Software tab. c. Click Add Site... d Enter the Location: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ If you have trouble aqcuiring the plugin, try using http in the Location URL, instead of https (https is preferred for security reasons). Click OK. e. Back in the Available Software view, you should see the plugin listed by the URL, with Developer Tools nested within it. Select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Install... f. On the subsequent Install window, Android DDMS and Android Development Tools should both be checked. Click Next. g. Read and accept the license agreement, then click Finish. h. Restart Eclipse. Now modify your Eclipse preferences to point to the Android SDK directory: i. Select Window Preferences... to

Mobile yusuf.s...@t-mobile.com wrote: Did you send this via twitter? I'm not perceptive enough to grasp what is happening in your description, but I recently wrote up an extended set of steps, including with regards to the AVD. I hope it helps. How to install the Android SDK in two dozen or so easy steps (based onhttp://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html) To write Android programs, you will need to download and install three programs: Java, Eclipse and the Android SDK. 1. Java: this is the computer language you will be using to write programs on Android. Go tohttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Click on the Download button next to the Java SE Development Kit. On the next page, select your platform (probably Windows), click on the I agree to the blah blah blah checkbox (after carefully reading the agreement of course), and click on continue. Download the file download link on the next page. Once it's downloaded, double-click on the file to install it. One point on installing files: if this is your computer, you can probably install anywhere, and most programs on Windows get put in the C:\Program Files directory. However, if this is for example a school computer, you may not be able to put the program there, in which case you can put it somewhere else, like the My Documents folder. Now you have to tell your PC where Java is, because for some reason the Java installer doesn't. On WindowsXP, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: ;C:\Program Files\java\jdk6\bin 2. Eclipse: this is the program you will use to program in Java on Android. Go tohttp://www.eclipse.org/downloads, click on Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. It will take to the next page where you click on the green arrow to download. Unlike most modern software products, Eclipse has not have a fancy installation procedure. To install it, simply extract the zip file into some director on your computer. This will create a directory named eclipse. The executable program file is located in this directory and is called eclipse.exe. On Windows systems, it is a good idea to create a shortcut to this executable on your desktop. To do this, right-click on the eclipse.exe file and select Send To → Desktop. Eclipse stores all its files in a directory called its workspace. When Eclipse is run for the first time, it will ask you where you want the workspace to be placed. After this, you should see the Welcome to Eclipse 3.0 page. When you see this, you are ready to proceed to the next step. 3. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) Go tohttp://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html. Select the the version for your computer. Your platform is probably Windows. When that file is downloaded, unzip it somewhere, such as C:\Program Files. It will then be in C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something, the something being the version number, like windows-1.5_r1. You have to tell your computer where you put it, because for some reason it can't figure that out itself. On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double- click on Path (under System Variables). Add a semicolon and the full path to the SDK subdirectory tools directory to the path. It will be something like: C:\Program Files\android-sdk-something\tools Then tell Eclipse where to find it: a. Start Eclipse, then select Help Software Updates b. In the dialog that appears, click the Available Software tab. c. Click Add Site... d Enter the Location:http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ If you have trouble aqcuiring the plugin, try using http in the Location URL, instead of https (https is preferred for security reasons). Click OK. e. Back in the Available Software view, you should see the plugin listed by the URL, with Developer Tools nested within it.

[android-beginners] Re: Kill a background thread onStop()?
Anna PS wrote: This is probably more of a Java question than an Android question really, but here goes: My app is force closing when I flip the keyboard out, because it's got a background thread running that doesn't get killed during onStop(), and that then goes on to throw a NullPointerException. Does anyone know how I can kill a background thread from the main UI thread in the onStop method? Use the same mechanism you are using to stop the thread in onDestroy(). I'm rapidly becoming convinced that background threads of significance should exclusively be in local services, just to deal with the rotation issue. The service doesn't go away in the rotation. All the new activity needs to do is get re-acquainted with the running service. I was already very convinced that long-running background threads are really dangerous, and that you should try to break up the work into smaller parcels via some sort of a work queue (e.g., clone AsyncTask and give it an unbounded work queue, or use your own LinkedBlockingQueue). That gives you finer granularity to stop the background threads (e.g., via an AtomicBoolean flag that gets checked). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] how to separate system custom intents
How can I distinguish between intents supplied by Android intents created by my application ? I can query the contents of the intents.

[android-beginners] Re: how to separate system custom intents
Mark, Thanks for the quick reply. user intent in this case is an intent supplied by the application e.g. intent created for startActivityForResult/onActivityResult. The question is prompted by this scenario: My main activity has preferences that are set by a separate PreferenceActivity. The latter sends back an intent to former via onActivityResult. So in main activity's onCreate, it's intent * can be supplied by Android when the application first starts (e.g. on boot), or * can be supplied by the associated PreferenceActivity. The changed Preference values can therefore be passed back to the main activity via * sharedPreferences (as Preference editor commits during PerferenceActivity onPause), AND * intent returned by PrefesrenceActivity back to the main activity in onActivtyResult In other words, when main activity starts, it can take preference values either from * an intent or * shared preferences (assumed pre-existing) It seems to me in onCreate of the main activity, it should * take preference values from existing shared preferences on boot but * from intent as preference values are changed on the fly So there is a need to separate intent from system my own namespace. This maybe more complicated than necessary but it's how it's implemented for now. Thanks for the tip again. ##- On Jul 16, 12:56 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: az9702 wrote: How can I distinguish between intents supplied by Android intents created by my application ?

[android-beginners] How to run the latest version of the OS

I've tried looking this up, but I get the impression I don't know the right terminology. Essentially, what I'd like to do is this: 1. Download the donut source 2. make changes to it 3. Run those changes in the emulator to test them out 4. Once the changes are proven to be good, run them in my dev phone So far, I've gotten through downloading and making the android code, but I can't figure out where to go from there.

[android-beginners] Menu Force Close Issues
Hi, I'm having some troubles with the menu I just added to my app.
I'm using a basic
Java:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuItem item = menu.add(0,1,0,Bookmark);
item = menu.add(0,2,0,Remove Bookmark);
return true;
}
to create my menu, and a
Java:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
if(item.getItemId()==1){
.
to make it do things. Now the trouble is, occasionally, when i start
my app up for the first time, or do a fresh install when testing it,
and i click the menu button, it's gives me a force close error. It
only seems to do it the first time on the very first screen. If i
click either of my other buttons that refresh the view it tends not to
do it, or, if you get it to open up and work once, it tends to be
stable after that...
It's driving me a bit crazy though, cause I can't see anything obvious
wrong with my code, or why it would want to crash on a simple thing
such as the menu screen...
This is what logcat throws up when the app crashes, but it doesn't
mean a whole lot to me yet...

[android-beginners] Re: how to separate system custom intents
Mark, Action with namespace works. Thanks. Here is how the application works now. Main activity is controlled by SharedPreference changes: * Main activity displays a list of thingies of Type X * User selects the Type from a ListPreference in a PreferenceActivity with its own separate screen. If the user clicks: Menu - Preferences - Select thingy type - A the preference screen appears and after A is selected from the ListPerference, the PreferenceActivity will finish after setResult with A as a parameter through an intent. This intent is to start a new Main Activity with onActivityResult. Later on, user may repeat same process with type B. So the thingies that Main activity displays depend on when how SharedPreferences are changed. SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener may still work for my app but user interaction flow may need changes. Thanks again. On Jul 16, 1:55 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: az9702 wrote: user intent in this case is an intent supplied by the application e.g. intent created for startActivityForResult/onActivityResult. OK. The question is prompted by this scenario: My main activity has preferences that are set by a separate PreferenceActivity. The latter sends back an intent to former via onActivityResult. So in main activity's onCreate, it's intent * can be supplied by Android when the application first starts (e.g. on boot), or * can be supplied by the associated PreferenceActivity. The changed Preference values can therefore be passed back to the main activity via * sharedPreferences (as Preference editor commits during PerferenceActivity onPause), AND * intent returned by PrefesrenceActivity back to the main activity in onActivtyResult In other words, when main activity starts, it can take preference values either from * an intent or * shared preferences (assumed pre-existing) It seems to me in onCreate of the main activity, it should * take preference values from existing shared preferences on boot but * from intent as preference values are changed on the fly So there is a need to separate intent from system my own namespace. This maybe more complicated than necessary but it's how it's implemented for now. I do not know all the details of your application. Given what you wrote above, though, I'd just register a shared preference listener and be done with the matter: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferen...) Your main activity should neither know nor care where and how the shared preferences get changed, just that they were changed. SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener handles that. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Why won't it start here?
Is there any problem with launching a service via an Alarm's BroadcastReceiver's onReceive? My service never has it's onCreate or onStart method called. My Alarm's receiver gets a wakelock, calls context.startService(new Intent(context, FmiDaemon.class)); (context given via onRecieve parameter), waits 3 seconds, then releases the lock. My service has 2 methods, onCreate and onStart. onCreate gets another wakelock, the end of onStart releases the wakelock, and calls stopSelf. Both methods are supposed to send data to a log, but never do since they're never called. Where is the problem? Is that a bad context to use? Is onCreate and onStart the wrong methods to implement? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Rooting?
Hi, Here is a pretty good description of how to root your G1 phone. http://androidandme.com/2009/05/guides/beginners-guide-for-rooting-your-android-g1-to-install-cupcake/ Of course there is always a risk that during rooting something goes wrong. Make sure that you charge your battery before you start the process. You don't won't that during flashing and rooting your device that the device turns of. Also follow exactly the steps in the same order.
