That is not an error.

Look at your Java stack trace to find the error. The Java stack trace
can be obtained through adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in
Eclipse.

[android-beginners] Re: Simple Animation Code

2009-08-21 Thread Kingcrowley

Maybe i didn't explain it well enough..
The main.xml file is used already, so frame_animations_layout.xml is
the layout for this, see below

***
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent 

ImageView android:id=@+id/imageView
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content /


/LinearLayout
the imgview is not set up in onCreate but later on,

[android-beginners] Re: how to update a listview

What is the adapter class? For an ArrayAdapter, you don't need to call
notifyDataSetChanged() unless you called setNotifyOnChange(false).

[android-beginners] Intent-Filter for custom protocols

2009-08-21 Thread avi

good morning :)

i have a problem with registring a reciever as i wish :/
My Problem: there exist links like irc://someserver.org/channelXY.
When I try to open them with the browser, i always get some kind of
not found, page maybe moved ...-message.

Now im wondering if its possible to fetch those url-calls to my own
activity. First thought: registering an reciever in the manifest -
like:

receiver android:name=.URIProtocolHandler
intent-filter
action 
android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category 
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
category 
android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE/
category
data android:scheme=irc/data
/intent-filter
/receiver

URIProtocolHandler.java:
[...imports]
public class URIProtocolHandler extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

Intent openSoundSettingsActivity = new Intent(context,
ConnectScreen.class);
context.startActivity(openSoundSettingsActivity);

}
}

As far as I understood the concept, this should at least open the
ConnectScreen-Activity.
But - well - nothing happens - the browser is still showing the error
screen.

Maybe someone has an idea and can help me? I seem to be to tired
to get it -.-

Kind regards,
avi

[android-beginners] How do I implement the onClick method for a DialogPreference?

2009-08-21 Thread Nick

I have implemented onSharedPreferenceChanged in my Preference
Activity, which works for other preference settings but it won't get
triggered when I click on the DialogPreference.  I have also tried to
add set the OnPreferenceClickListener to the DialogPreference, which
also works, but this gets triggered as soon as I click on the
preference screen and not on one of the buttons in the actual dialog
window.

I would like to somehow implement the onClick method but don't know
where to do this.

public class Preferences extends PreferenceActivity implements
OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {

private static final String LOG = test;
private DialogPreference mfactory;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Load the preferences from an XML resource
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

mfactory = (DialogPreference)findPreference
(pref_factory);
mfactory.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new
DialogPreference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {

@Override
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) 
{
Log.i(LOG, onPreferenceClick1 entered);

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}});
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.i(LOG, onResume entered);

// Add a Listener
getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences
().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.i(LOG, onPause entered);

// Remove the Listener
getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences
().unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}

public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences
sharedPreferences, String key) {
Log.i(LOG, onSharedPreferenceChanged entered);

}
}
}

[android-beginners] System Privileges on emulator

2009-08-21 Thread Asad Zia

Hi,

There seems to be two levels of uses-permission, user level and system
level. When I declare to use  INTERNET or BATTERY_STATS, in my
AndroidManifest.xml file it works without problem. However when I try
to use INSTALL_PACKAGES, BIND_APPWIDGET  it does not work. According
to a [android-beginner msg11514],

“Whoever signs the system is also going to need to sign any app that
wants system privileges.”

I need to know how do I get System Privileges while debugging my
application on emulator.

Thanks,

[android-beginners] 'if' sentences please help

2009-08-21 Thread GlennovitS

Hey everybody..

I'm just startet writing code for android.. And then I need to have
some if-sentences.. (sorry for my english) they look like this



@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Date dateDate = new Date();
String codedate = new SimpleDateFormat(ddMMyy).format
(dateDate);

if (codedate != 220809) {txtKommentar.setText
(R.string.k220809);}
if (codedate != 210809) {txtKommentar.setText
(R.string.k210809);}
if (codedate != 200809) {txtKommentar.setText
(R.string.k200809);}
if (codedate != 190809) {txtKommentar.setText
(R.string.k190809);}

}


and if the 'codedate' has a value of '210809', it still does this:...



txtKommentar.setText(R.string.k190809);



...like the 'codedate'-strings value was 190809.. what is wrong?.

please help me.. i can't figure it out..

[android-beginners] System Privileges on emulator

2009-08-21 Thread Asad Zia

Hi,

I'm developing my application in Android emulator. In file
AndroidManifest.xml, when I declare uses-permission for INTERNET and
BATTERY_STATS it works without problems. However when I try to use
INSTALL_PACKAGES or BIND_APPWIDGET it does not work. These permissions
don't even appear on package installer UI.

According to thread 
http://www.mail-archive.com/android-beginners@googlegroups.com/msg11514.html
INSTALL_PACKAGES belong to System Privileges.

My question is how can my application get system privileges when
working on emulator?

Thanks,
Asad

[android-beginners] Key Value pair in a spinner

2009-08-21 Thread AlexDemers

Hey, I was wondering how to put a string array in a spinner (I can,
using the ArrayAdapter) but I also want to set keys for these also.
But it seems that there's no constructors for that (I may be
mistaken).

I have 2 arrays: {5123, 7434, 7333, 7345 } and {City 1,
City 2, City 3, City 4 }. Obviously, the spinner UI should show
the name array of the cities, but in the backend (what's returned from
the submission of the form is the value.

Anyone knows how?


// Put the array in the spinner
ArrayAdapterString adapter = new ArrayAdapterString(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, cityNames);
spinCities.setAdapter(adapter);



While, I'm the subject of spinners: is there any resource on the
internet describing every type of spinner layouts? I'm using
simple_spinner_item but I find it too small. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[android-beginners] How do I implement onClick for a DialogPreference?

2009-08-21 Thread Nick

I have a DialogPreference in my Preference Activity and would like to
know which button was pressed. I have implemented the
OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener which does not seem to get triggered
when the DialogPreference is selected.   I have also tried
OnPreferenceClickListener but this gets triggered as soon as the
DialogPreference is clicked from the main screen and not when one of
the actual dialog buttons was pressed.  was.

So I think I need to implement onClick for this dialog but I am not
sure where to do this.

public class Preferences extends PreferenceActivity implements
OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener {

private static final String LOG = test;
private DialogPreference mfactory;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// Load the preferences from an XML resource
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

mfactory = (DialogPreference)findPreference(pref_factory);
mfactory.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new
DialogPreference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {

@Override
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) 
{
Log.i(LOG, onPreferenceClick1 entered);

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}});
}

@Override

[android-beginners] Android SDK For Beginners?

2009-08-21 Thread Azelis DeLano

Hello, my name is Zack but I go by Azelis.

Introduction's out of the way, let's get down to it.

From my history of programming, I know that languages based on other
languages only make sense if you have extensive background.  For
example when I started learning NQC for the Mindstorms Invention
System it was recommended that I take some C++ tutorials first.
However most of these provided me with information I would never need
to know (system speciffic stuff).

That brings me to where I find myself.  Within a week I will be
receiving my G1 and I am very interested in programming for it.  I
have a great amount of programming experience as follows (in
chronological order):

AppleSoft
Integer Basic
QBASIC
JavaScript
Visual Basic
Visual C++
TI89 Basic
PHP
Linden Scripting Language
and recently a bit of ASM

Basically, with my use of JS and PHP, I am no stranger to the DOM.
However I found even the Hello Android tutorial a little difficult to
follow, using data types, methods, models, and terms I was unfamiliar
with (not to mention that I've never worked with XML, only style
sheets).  While I was able to kind of understand what was going on, by
the time I got to the notepad example I was completely lost.

Let me also qualify that I tried learning Java once before to create
website applets (yeah, back in those olden days) and most tutorials I
found convered very speciffic information that I really didn't need to
know.  So given my experience with outside tutorials that are only of
peripheral interest to me and the knowledge that Android doesn't use
the everyday flavor Java VM, is there a Java for Android for Beginners
style reference anywhere?  Barring that, is there a tutorial/set of
tutorials anyone else who was in my position can recommend?

Android may very well be the first place solo programmers like myself
have a chance to create mainstream popular mobile applications so if
such a reference doesn't exist I may well have to spearhead it.

[android-beginners] Re: Android SDK For Beginners?

2009-08-21 Thread tinyang

Hi Azelis and welcome to Android development!  :)

I'm pretty much new to programming.  Android is my first software
development experience aside from some relational database stuff I did years
ago.  I pretty much had to start learning from scratch several months ago.
The first recommendation I have for you is to learn Java.  I took this free
online course:

http://www.javapassion.com/javaintro/

I was new to both java and xml, but I found the xml easier to pick up than
the java.  Your C++ experience will help you learn the java faster I think.
I also read this free Android development PDF book:

http://andbook.anddev.org/

Which started to fill in a lot of the blanks for me about Android
development.  And I purchased the Professional Android Application
Development paperback after browsing Android coding books at the local book
store (so far it's my fav Android coding book).

I still have lots more to learn, but I am on my 3rd or 4th app and I'm
really enjoying developing for Android.  I also made good use of this group,
so I encourage you to also.  Good luck!

However most of these provided me with information I would never need to
know (system speciffic stuff).

That brings me to where I find myself.  Within a week I will be receiving my
G1 and I am very interested in programming for it.  I have a great amount of
programming experience as follows (in chronological order):

AppleSoft
Integer Basic
QBASIC
JavaScript
Visual Basic
Visual C++
TI89 Basic
PHP
Linden Scripting Language
and recently a bit of ASM

Basically, with my use of JS and PHP, I am no stranger to the DOM.
However I found even the Hello Android tutorial a little difficult to
follow, using data types, methods, models, and terms I was unfamiliar with
(not to mention that I've never worked with XML, only style sheets).  While
I was able to kind of understand what was going on, by the time I got to the
notepad example I was completely lost.

Let me also qualify that I tried learning Java once before to create website
applets (yeah, back in those olden days) and most tutorials I found convered
very speciffic information that I really didn't need to know.  So given my
experience with outside tutorials that are only of peripheral interest to me
and the knowledge that Android doesn't use the everyday flavor Java VM, is
there a Java for Android for Beginners style reference anywhere?  Barring
that, is there a tutorial/set of tutorials anyone else who was in my
position can recommend?

Android may very well be the first place solo programmers like myself have a
chance to create mainstream popular mobile applications so if such a
reference doesn't exist I may well have to spearhead it.

[android-beginners] Breaking up Activity classes

2009-08-21 Thread Greg Hedin

As I'm learning about Activities and the components they contain I am
wanting to break things up into components. Is there any list of
guidelines / commonly used organization of Activity classes?

As I add functionality to my apps, things like context menus, options
menus, and references to view objects in from resources, my class
starts to look really ugly. I have done a lot of .net programming, so
at first I wanted to start making partial class declarations in
different files but found out java doesn't support this.

Are activity classes generally ugly or is there a common way that pro
developers compartmentalize things in their activity classes?

Thanks for any helpful info,
Greg Hedin

Most of the books/tutorials that I have seen assume some level of Java

you do need to know Java's take on OO (classes, objects, inheritance,
polymorphism), popular classes in java.lang/java.io/java.util, etc.

I have actually found a resource that is working well for me.  It's a book
called The Busy Coder's guide to Android.  This explains a lot more
(although not everything) and I find myself starting to learn how things
work.  I did go through andbook and found it to be either badly typed or
mis-translated and very lacking in explanations and examples (I got the

Basically, while I am finding the resources and examples I need, I do feel
my situation is still fairly common and since my position has often been the

I code in Ruby when I'm not working on Android. All Java code is ugly. ;-)

There are many patterns you can use to help organize an activity. Here
are two that I use, for what that's worth:

1. I sometimes break out the code that binds data to Views for rows in a
ListView into a separate wrapper class, as described here:

http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

2. I tend to break out my listeners and callback objects into private
anonymous inner classes:

private View.OnClickListener onButton=new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View thingThatWentClick) {
// something almost intelligent here
}
};

(then use button.setOnClickListener(onButton); in onCreate() or something)

This is a Java mistake that is common. By common I mean one I make

If you just use the != operator then the JVM will compare the string

Hmm, I wanted to add that the book I referenced has errors in it.  I'm
working on the relative alignment section and it references
android:layout_toRight when it should be toRightOf.  I tried it in both 1.1
and 1.5 to be sure, and I double checked the example.

Oh well, pressing on.  I did notice in an article elsewhere that it is
possible to actually replace the Android main UI, and I've seen videos
supposedly of doing this.  Are there any guides on doing that?  I've set
myself a lofty goal for my first complete project.  Not that I necessarily
feel the need to replace the default UI, I just want to do it so that I know
I can do it.  Also I'm a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 Hey everybody..

 I'm just startet writing code for android.. And then I need to have
 some if-sentences.. (sorry for my english) they look like this



 @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Date dateDate = new Date();
String codedate = new SimpleDateFormat(ddMMyy).format
 (dateDate);

if (codedate != 220809) {txtKommentar.setText
 (R.string.k220809);}
if (codedate != 210809) {txtKommentar.setText
 (R.string.k210809);}
if (codedate != 200809) {txtKommentar.setText
 (R.string.k200809);}
if (codedate != 190809) {txtKommentar.setText
 (R.string.k190809);}

 }


 and if the 'codedate' has a value of '210809', it still does this:...



 txtKommentar.setText(R.string.k190809);



 ...like the 'codedate'-strings value was 190809.. what is wrong?.

 please help me.. i can't figure it out..


just wondering, if codedate=210809 wont that make all the other if
statements valid? and in that case 190809 is the last one to set the text

And there's no Android 2.0 SDK... The next version is 1.6.

 Why isn't Google releasing a beta version of Android 2.0 SDK for

 It would be nice if developers have the option of working on 1.5 or
 2.0.

[android-beginners] Re: database openOrCreateDatabase

2009-08-21 Thread moazzamk

I don't know what's causing the error in your code but it seems like
you are using an older version of Android (maybe older than 1.0). I
would recommend upgrading your Android SDK and using the method
suggested in this link: http://moazzam-khan.com/blog/?cat=26paged=2
.

 Now I am using myDB = openOrCreateDatabase(data2,
 SQLiteDatabase.CREATE_IF_NECESSARY, null);

 before I was doing

 myDB = null;
 myDB.openOrCreateDatabase(data2, null);

 which was absurd

 Have to initialize myDB as the prototype of openOrCreateDatabase has
 the
 return as static

  Hi,

  Am I missing something here or are you setting your database pointer to

   Hi Guys,

   I am creating a new database, with a table and inserting some fields
   in it
   But I get the following error in opening or creating database.

   What am I missing ?

   Thanks a lot

ERROR/Database(167): sqlite3_open_v2(data2, handle, 6, NULL) failed

   code follows..

   public class DataBaseWork extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.main);

   ArrayListString results = new ArrayListString();
   SQLiteDatabase myDB = null;
   String MY_DATABASE_TABLE = t_Users;
   try {
   /* Create the Database (no Errors if it already exists) */
   myDB.openOrCreateDatabase(data2, null);
   myDB.execSQL(CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 
   + MY_DATABASE_TABLE

   myDB.execSQL(INSERT INTO 
   + MY_DATABASE_TABLE
   +  (LastName, FirstName, Country, Age)
   +  VALUES ('Ggg', 'Nn', 'G',

   } catch (SQLException e){

   }

   if (myDB != null)
   myDB.close();

[android-beginners] Re: how to update a listview

2009-08-21 Thread moazzamk

You have to change the data structure that stores the data for the
listView and then call notifyDataSetChange();

Let;s say you are using and ArrayListString lst, you would do
something like this:


public void getRemoteData() {
// .. get data and put it in the array list
adapter.notifyDataSetChange();
}

And, it will update itself.

Hope it made sense and helped :)
