[android-beginners] Re: Developing application in Android

2009-09-03 Thread Maxood

Post the exact and precise specifications of the project. What exactly
you want to develop on android. As you have worked with Java,
developing an android application will be no big deal for you. Android
supports Java2ME and Google's APIs.

If you need any help for the project or want to ask any question about
android development, just send me a message on maqs...@salsoft.net

[android-beginners] Re: Key Value pair in a spinner

2009-09-03 Thread Justin Anderson
I haven't tried using the spinner adapter yet, so I'm not sure, but it might
be possible to do the following:

- Create a new object that holds both the city string and the number
- Override the toString() method to return the city string
- Pass the array of your new object type to the spinner
- Then the spinner would return your object and you can get the number value
from that

Again, I don't know how the spinner adapter is set up exactly, but you might
be able to get something like this to work.

Hope that helps,
Justin

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity crash

2009-09-03 Thread tinyang

Hello and thanks for the reply.  No, the FieldGuide line that is commented
out does not cause the crash.  To the contrary, it actually works properly
when starting that activity in the main app.  Below you are looking at the
code that causes the crash (the geotest activity).  I had all of the below
code in another application with other activities, and everytime I tried to
start this activity, it would crash.  So in an effort to isolate the
problem, I made a new Android project and put only the crashing activity in
it, and it is still crashing (which allows me to rule out the other
activites/code in the main app for causing the problem).  I get a
nullpointerexception when trying to start the activity (see logcat output
below).  I'm very curious if someone else copy/paste all the code below into
a new project, do they have the same problem?

When you select the target for the AVD in the emulator, which one are
you selecting?

Based on the name of your application (mapact) you are using Google
APIs for the map support, correct? Try to use target 3. Also make sure
that in your Manifest you have uses-library to include the map

[android-beginners] Best practise for game SurfaceView other view layout

2009-09-03 Thread Bradley

I am developing a game , I used the gametemplate by MrSnowflake. Thus
I have a GameView extending the SurfaceView with a thread that handles
the drawing etc. I need 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen. These
will only use touch events, the game will not use d-pad or trackball
events.

My questions :

1) Should the surfaceview draw and handle the button touch presses?
Or should i add button views to the parent activity, and those button
views will handles the touch presses?

2) What is the best practise for layouts for games where surfaceview's
are extended?

3) How does one change the size of the canvas thats provided via doDraw
(). Currently the canvas is filling the screen not allowing me to see
the button views that are below the surfaceview.

[android-beginners] Android Beginner

2009-09-03 Thread TheJediSlayer

Hello,
I am a new beginner at Android development. I plan to get the HTC Hero
coming up soon in the next month and I am excited to use Android on
the new mobile device. Anyways, my question I had today was a problem
that I’ve been encountering a lot lately with the SDK/Eclipse part of
Android… A tutorial named HelloGridView that is located in the user-
documentation of the SDK gives a tutorial on how to make a basic slide-
show picture based application… I follow the instructions, but when I
place this line of code:

File to open:  HelloGridView java file in SRC


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

GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));
}



COPY AND PASTED OVER ABOVE LINE OF CODE:

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



I get a bunch of underscore red-line errors and I’m not sure about how
to go about fixing them… Without fixing them, I can’t use the
application in Eclipse, and so on and so forth. I’m very new at this
stuff and I can’t seem to understand why I’m getting these underline-
red errors… Any help would be much appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: Urgent Help Needed: How to get AnimationDrawable to animate when drawing to SurfaceView?

2009-09-03 Thread Weeds

Hi,

I've had the very same problem just yesterday.
After digging through the framework source, the solution was quiet
easy:

On scheduling the next frame the view tries to verify the drawable
(this is the default implementation for the View class)

6733 /**
6734  * If your view subclass is displaying its own Drawable
objects, it should
6735  * override this function and return true for any Drawable it
is
6736  * displaying.  This allows animations for those drawables to
be
6737  * scheduled.
6738  *
6739  * pBe sure to call through to the super class when
overriding this
6740  * function.
6741  *
6742  * @param who The Drawable to verify.  Return true if it is
one you are
6743  *displaying, else return the result of calling
through to the
6744  *super class.
6745  *
6746  * @return boolean If true than the Drawable is being
displayed in the
6747  * view; else false and it is not allowed to animate.
6748  *
6749  * @see #unscheduleDrawable
6750  * @see #drawableStateChanged
6751  */
6752 protected boolean verifyDrawable(Drawable who) {
6753 return who == mBGDrawable;
6754 }

For the animation to work, your view needs to overwrite the
verifyDrawable() method.
Something like this should work:

protected boolean verifyDrawable(Drawable who) {
return (who != null);
}

Also be sure to call the start() method of your animation after the
surface has ben created. (i.e. SurfaceView.getHandler() does not
return null)

Greetings Andre

 this only draws the first frame of the animation and nothing else.

[android-beginners] HelloWebView - WebViewClient odd behaviour

2009-09-03 Thread Christer Østergaard

Hi everybody,

Have been going through the HelloWebView tutorial. First I did all the
coding my self. Went perfectly fine. Loaded the Google address. Then I
added the code for HelloWebViewClient. As soon as I added the
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); I end up getting
nothing but black in the content area.

After working a bit with it, I reversed everything, and copied the
code from the tutorial. Same behaviour. If I take the aforementioned
line of code out, then it works again.

Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening?

Kind regards,
Christer

public class HelloWebView extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private WebView webview;

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

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl(http://www.google.com;);

}

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String
url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}


}

If you tell us where you bought it, we can infer it for you. However
you may also simply shut down your phone and then turn it on again by
holding down Back + Power. This will lead you to the fastboot
console where you can read the info. To exit from there again, press
the Menu button.

[android-beginners] problems getting started

2009-09-03 Thread leeuwerik

I'm brand new to Android (although not to Eclipse and Java).
Yesterday I installed ADT within Eclipse (always latest versions) both
on Windows and XP.
Then I try creating HelloWorld by following the tutorial.

When creatin the android project I get an error on the line
setContentView(R.layout.main) == R unknown.

I tried ctr-shift-O == import android.R is added but the error
remains.

Undaunted I follow the tuturial and edit to create a TextView instead
== application runs, i.e. I see a mobile terminal image with
'ANDROID' written in the centre. On XP it's strange: after a seemingly
long time-out the text font changes and an icon (android) is added
after the text.

Next I try editing the resource .xml files as suggested in the
tutorial in order to change the text. This also implies reintroducing
the line with setContentView(R.layout.main) in lieu of the TextView.
This time no error reported 

When inspecting main.xml, the new layout and text look OK. Yet when
running the application I keep getting the same mobile picture, i.e.
without the new text. It looks like the emulation doesn't work
properly.
I rebuilt the application from scratch and did another tutorial, with
the same negative result.

I must say that I'm lost.
Can anyone help please

[android-beginners] getting the value from an attribute of an element in an rss xml feed

2009-09-03 Thread LuKeNuKuM

hi folks,

i've been struggling to find a way to read in a url value from within
a tag in an xml feed. im so close but i just can't seem to crack it.

i started out using this http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/39810/1954
as a guide which works great but customising it to read in an
attribute of an element is causing me problems.

the feed is here: 
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml

within the xml's 'item' element is media:thumbnail width=X
height=X url=X/ it's the url attribute im after. i can get the
title back fine but the structure of the media:thumbnail tag means im
missing something!

what's interesting(!?) is the fact that when i remove the loop and
only go for the first item, i get the image back! the line with strImg
= imgElement.getAttribute(url) just won't work within the loop...
any ideas are greatly appreciated.

this is very rough n ready, im learning :-)

Subject: [android-beginners] Android Beginner


Hello,
I am a new beginner at Android development. I plan to get the HTC Hero
coming up soon in the next month and I am excited to use Android on the new
mobile device. Anyways, my question I had today was a problem that I've been
encountering a lot lately with the SDK/Eclipse part of Android. A tutorial
named HelloGridView that is located in the user- documentation of the SDK
gives a tutorial on how to make a basic slide- show picture based
application. I follow the instructions, but when I place this line of code:

File to open:  HelloGridView java file in SRC 

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

GridView gridview = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this)); }



COPY AND PASTED OVER ABOVE LINE OF CODE:

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



I get a bunch of underscore red-line errors and I'm not sure about how to go
about fixing them. Without fixing them, I can't use the application in
Eclipse, and so on and so forth. I'm very new at this stuff and I can't seem
to understand why I'm getting these underline- red errors. Any help would be
much appreciated.

OK, seeing the picture does help.  On the right is the red line errors.  On
the left is either a folder with a small red/white X icon on it, or just a
larger red/white X icon.  If you rest your mouse pointer over the red/white
icons on the left side, it will pop up a tool tip and give you the error
message.  If you hit F2, it will make suggestions for fixing your errors.
The F2 feature is called quick fix.  If the quick fix doesn't work for all
of your errors, then note the verbiage of the error and search google or
post here for further help.  Happy debugging.  :)

R is a class that is generated at compile-time.

In particular, to get R.layout.main you need to create a file names main.xml
in your res/layout folder and create the layout in xml format as described
in the Dev Guide docs.

I've never used the emulator (I push my apps directly to my phone for
debugging) so I can't help with that...

Let me know if this helps,

 Next I try editing the resource .xml files as suggested in the
 tutorial in order to change the text. This also implies reintroducing
 the line with setContentView(R.layout.main) in lieu of the TextView.
 This time no error reported 

 When inspecting main.xml, the new layout and text look OK. Yet when
 running the application I keep getting the same mobile picture, i.e.
 without the new text. It looks like the emulation doesn't work
 properly.
 I rebuilt the application from scratch and did another tutorial, with
 the same negative result.

 I must say that I'm lost.
 Can anyone help please

[android-beginners] Re: Any way to measure network traffic ?

2009-09-03 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

You could use the netstat application

netstat -I interface -b

which gives the the number of incoming and outgoing traffic.

[android-beginners] Re: problems getting started

2009-09-03 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

When you create your first Android application you normally have not
to do anything besides creating an Android project. The Eclipse ADT is
going to create all the needed resources for you.

Check the following


 - Your Eclipse:
for example
Version: 3.4.1
Build id: M20080911-1700

 - the Problems-tab in Eclipse editor
 - make sure that ADT is correctly installed

[android-beginners] Re: problems getting started

2009-09-03 Thread John P.

Regarding the cases when the R class does not get generated/updated in
time, try the following (in no particular order):

- Manually delete the R.java class, so the next time it will generate
a completely new one.
- Right click on the project - Android Tools - Fix Project
Properties
- Clean the project under Project - Clean
- Restart Eclipse

Regarding the case when updating the text in the layout did not
reflect in the emulator, are you sure the latest project was deployed
to the emulator?  Can you confirm that the APK is built and pushed to
the emulator by looking at the console?  Sometimes, the ADB has issues
and it disconnects with the emulator.  If this was the case, your
emulator was still running the previous version.

[android-beginners] Re: force orientation change?

2009-09-03 Thread MMC2
Hi Jeffrey

  I previously sent you a reply with this line that you place in the 
manifest.  

android:screenOrientation=portrait  


I had only just found it and while trying to find out whether you can change 
the orientation  by code while the program is running, I found some tips that 
didn't work ,but after playing around with them I have got these two lines to 
work in the main body of code.  

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT); 

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);



You will have to import  as follows

import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;



It is really annoying that we have to search so much for such basic information 
as this.



Good luck with your app



Mike

  wondering if there is a way to force the screen orientation one way or the
