There is a mistake here in resources.xml file but I corrected it. The
correct one is as follow:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
declare-styleable name=Gallery1
attr name=android:galleryItemBackground /
/declare-styleable
/resources
Thanks Justin. Your post is really helpful.

I had this same problem. After days of searching online, I found this
workaround:
- Create a resources.xml file with the following contents:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
declare-stylable name=Gallery1
attr name=android:galleryItemBackground /
/declare-stylable
/resources
- Instead of using android.R.styleable.Gallery1 just reference
R.styleable.Gallery1
Hope this helps! I set this up a long time ago... If I missed something
let
me know so I can post that missing information.

There is a problem with the setiton on the example using
android.R.sytleable
public ImageAdapter(Context c) {
mContext = c;
TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes
(android.R.styleable.Theme);
mGalleryItemBackground = a.getResourceId(
android.R.styleable.Theme_galleryItemBackground, 0);
a.recycle();
}
Eclipse reports that R.styleable cannot be resolved
There are lots of messages on the web about the problem. Finally I
found one that reported android.R.styleable. is no longer supported in
sdk 1.5
http://mac.softpedia.com/progChangelog/Google-Android-SDK-Changelog-3.

If this is officially true, it would really be helpful to people
trying to learn Android programming to have some official notification
in the example and a revised workaround approach. Otherwise a lot of
people will be wasting a lot of time.

[android-beginners] Re: Debugging on Samsung Galaxy
Try this link: http://www.anddev.org/debugging-installing_apps_on_the_g1_windows_driver-t3236.html Step 5 most likely will not happen. If it does not then try the following: - Open Device Manager - You should see something mentioning your Galaxy, or an ADB Interface, or perhaps even just something with a yellow question mark on it - Right click and choose Update Driver Software - Browse to the file you downloaded and unzipped - When finished restart your computer Hope this helps! If not, let me know and I will do a little more digging. Thanks, Justin On Sep 1, 12:58 am, FaticaLabs fel...@felicepollano.com wrote: Yes, I did connect it before, whit the fancySamsungsoftware.

[android-beginners] Re: Installed Application Version
As far as I'm aware of, there isn't a way to check the version number of an app from the base Android interface. The version number is usually provided by the market service that you download the app from, e.g. the Android Market. If you have downloaded the app by other means, there might be a Manifest.xml parser available for the PC, but within Android I don't think you can interrogate another app's Manifest.xml / version data for security purposes.

[android-beginners] Progress bar for upload / doenload
Hello
I've been having some difficulties with the progress bar. I built a
separate test harness and now I start to see things more clearly. The
code below seems to work correctly, but updates the progress bar only
when it finishes. I want it to update as the progress is made!
package com.example.progressbartest;
snip imports
public class ProgressBarTest extends Activity {
static int i;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Request the progress bar to be shown in the title
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
setProgressBarVisibility(true);
final ProgressBar progressHorizontal = (ProgressBar)
findViewById(R.id.progress_horizontal);
while (i1000){
setProgress(i++);
Log.e(John,in loop+Integer.toString(i));
}
}
}
There are actually two progress bars, like in the API demo app. One in
the title bar and another in the main screen. One would be sufficient,
but I don't know (yet) how to get rid of just one!

setProgress() does not set the progress on the screen.
setProgress() puts a message on a message queue that the UI thread uses.
When the UI thread eventually pops that message off of the message
queue, the UI thread will set the progress on the screen.
However, you are not letting the UI thread do that. Instead, you are
busy-looping 1000 times, calling setProgress() every time. The UI thread
cannot process messages on the queue until after that 1000-count loop is
done.
If you want Android to draw things, you have to let the UI thread go
(e.g., return from onCreate()).

[android-beginners] Re: Progress bar for upload / doenload
You need to update your progress bar in a separate thread to the the
main (UI) one, see the example here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html
What you have is saying When creating the activity, loop 1000 times
and change the progress bar position value each time. Then display the
activity (including progress bar) to the user.

[android-beginners] Re: Installed Application Version
Thanks for your input. I'm writing small apps for an egineering phone, hence not going onto android market. I was hoping there was a way via settings-applications-mange applications of seeing the version (though i could not find one myself), that way if an engineer had an issue with a particular version of software they could let me know the version number etc. Anyhow, maybe i'll just add the version to the titlebar of the app. Cheers, Liam. Might add this this to the issue list if its not already there, its always handy to know the version of a piece of software you have. Without having to decompile the manifest file that is (yes, it can be done).

Does your app do anything else? Like yell at me when I drive too fast? Not that that would ever happen. In any case it didn't crash.

[android-beginners] Re: Debugging on Samsung Galaxy
Glad I could be of assistance! Yeah, there are lots of potential problems with Windows machines and getting started with developing for Android... particularly if you connected your phone before turning on debugging (AFAIK, there is no documentation about that little tidbit of information, either). They may have fixed it, but at one point the driver shipped for windows android debugging had some line ending problem as well, which is why you needed to download a different file. When I came across the problem I spent a good week trying to figure out what was wrong, searching the web for help, etc... Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

[android-beginners] Re: intent filter to know when user change the volume
ok i've found that is impossible :
private void sendVolumeUpdate(int streamType) {
Intent intent = new Intent
(AudioManager.VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION);
intent.putExtra(AudioManager.EXTRA_VOLUME_STREAM_TYPE,
streamType);
intent.putExtra(AudioManager.EXTRA_VOLUME_STREAM_VALUE,
getStreamVolume(streamType));
// Currently, sending the intent only when the stream is
BLUETOOTH_SCO
if (streamType == AudioManager.STREAM_BLUETOOTH_SCO) {
mContext.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}
the intent is not send !

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...
Roman, Thank you very much for the feedback. I will look a little more into the PackageManager and PackageInfo classes and see what I can come up with. I think I saw some method in there that would return a launchable intent... Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

[android-beginners] How to send uppercase letter using InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() ?
Hi, Using the sendKeys() function I am able to send small letters like sendKeys(A B C). How to send capital letters? I didn't find any key event for them in KeyEvent class. Is there any separate event that I have to send prior to sending a letter, in order to make it uppercase?
