[android-developers] Re: Android Camera Preview Filter Using Camera.PreviewCallback.onPreviewFrame

[blindfold]

How come I recognize so many of these findings? ;-)

 4. I believe that processing breaks down whenever I spend too much
 time in the onPreviewFrame function.

That's what I observed too: so do the heavy duty image processing
outside onPreviewFrame(), with supplementary frame skipping and
subsampling as needed. Then there is no problem quitting the app
either.

 I'd incurr an extra copy of the YUV_422 byte[] buffer from
 onCameraFrame into the Thread prior to processing.

Yes, you need to take care of the limited data[] lifetime in
onPreviewFrame().

 Between this and skipping frames that overlap the frame-processing thread,
 this might drastically reduce the filter/display speed.

I doubt that the buffer copying matters (especially when using
arraycopy) as compared to the time lost in decoding the preview image
(pixel-by-pixel) for lack of an Android API with a native decoding
method for the preview format(s).

 I've looked at various offsets within each expected set of 6 bytes for each 2 
 pixels.

For the Y (luminance) part just use the first block in data[]: the
colors are not interleaved with Y; Y is in one block of bytes with
offset zero in data[], with one byte per pixel. So decoding Y is easy,
and identical for emulator and G1 (except for the stride due to
preview image size differences: default 176x144 vs 480x320).

I add android:configChanges=orientation in AndroidManifest.xml, but
seems it does not work, onConfigurationChanged(Configuration
newConfig) is not invoked when rotating. And the activity is still be
detroyed and recreated again.

Copy andorid doc, not sure why not work:

---Otherwise, the activity will remain running and its

[android-developers] How to get the current city/country name?

[Kakyoin]

Is it possible to get the city name(I mean the city where the phone is
in at the current time)?

I need it as a parameter for google weather API, like this:

http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=city_name,country_name

I tried browsing the classes in android.location package but have
yet to find a method to get the 'exact city name' and country name
needed for google weather API.

Thank you in advance. =)

[android-developers] message during install: ... has an ealier definition; blocking out

[Jakob Sachse]

what does this mean?

the information is not sufficient, where have those definitions been

In the one project that during install caused the message, in the

I double checked my sources and libs and can't find classes that are

[android-developers] Re: Flaky network connections

[joshv]

I am not sure you are experiencing the same thing I am. It's not a
transient waiting for the radio to turn on phenomenon.  I spent
several hours last night working with NetworkInfo.  When NetworkInfo
says I am connected, yep, I am connected.  But when I am not
connected, I can spin in a loop waiting for a connection as long as I
please, 30 seconds, a minute, more - still, not connected.  I even
tried to break down and reconnect wifi when it said I was not
connected - waiting a luxurious 30 seconds for the reconnect to
succeed - the result?  Still not connection.

I am really starting to think that there is something wrong with my
handset.  I certainly have no problem with transient disconnects and
such resulting from moving from cell to cell, or from 3G to wifi, or
edge to 3G - but I am sitting 3 feet from a very stable access point.

 I've had similar problems as you describe, and here's a couple of
 strategies I've employed successfully (i.e. surviving multiple test
 runs such as leaving WiFi coverage down office building elevator onto
 street level walk down into subway ride subway and back out onto
 street level with on-and-off 3G/Edge coverage, you get the idea...)

 - Check network status. Obviously there are no UDP/TCP connects
 possible when the device is not connected to a data network (zero
 bars). Check this through the status info from the NetworkInfo class.
 You need to request proper permission
 (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE). If not connected, I cycle
 through this twelve times on a one second interval. This is typically
 sufficient to wait for the completion of data network connections
 after the device wakes up. The device enters different levels of
 sleep, depending on the period of inactivity; you can see this in the
 DDMS log; things like DHCP release in Wifi mode, for example. So,
 after the device resumes, I give it up to twelve attempts to check
 data network connection status, take a break, and try again later, or
 if user triggers these twelve attempts. Provide UI feedback showing
 you're trying to connect.

 - Having established data network connectivity, you cannot assume a
 UDP/TCP (=URL) connect or read goes through. Either not at all, or
 things are just plain too slow (high latency) in comparison to the
 polling cycle. If the programmed URL timeouts extend beyond your
 polling cycle, you run into problems,. Which you are, because the
 standard timeouts are carry-overs from the dial-up Internets; you are
 looking at default timeouts in the 30s neighborhood. This means you
 need to set the connect and read timeouts of your network interactions
 to values below your polling cycle, and wrap everything in try/catch
 blocks. Again, provide user feedback if connections fail. The URL
 connect and read timeouts are set with
 java.net.URLConnection.setConnectTimeout(int) and .setReadTimeout
 (int). I've been experimenting with 4s to 8s.

 These strategies helped stabilize the action. I am under the
 impression that the data network/TCP stack connectivity gets confused
 if you try to connect at inopportune times (no data network
 connectivity) or while a connect/read is timing out, and then throw
 additional connection attempts at it.

 Hope this helps.

 Possible?  Suggestions?

I don't think you can get a result directly from calling 
loadUrl(javascript:yourfunctionhere()) on a WebView.

However, you *could*:

1. Add a callback via addJavascriptInterface()

2. Have your Javascript function call that callback with your result

3. Call the Javascript function as described above

On the plus side, this probably works. On the minus side, it requires a 
change, or at least a wrapper, for the Javascript function to use the 
callback.

out and see if we get the same problems.

Going all the way back to your original post, the snippet of source you 
provided doesn't seem problematic (other than I'm a fan of 
HTTPComponents over URLConnection), but, then again, we aren't going to 
be able to reproduce your problem with just that snippet.

In the end, if we collectively get a reproducible scenario that works, 
that sample code should serve us well on the issue tracker to make sure 
this gets looked at.

I can disclose the URL, it's publicly available and always up - yahoo
finance csv stock price download.  For example:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG+Tf=sl1c1p2

It doesn't get much more highly available than this.  I could test
other URLs, but as I have mentionned before, the exact same code, with
the exact same URL runs marvelously in the emulator, so I very much
doubt it has anything to do with the URL.  It's also not specific to
wi-fi on the handset.  I get the same behavior when I disable wi-fi
and use only 3G.

It would take me a bit of work to create a reproducible snippet, no
proprietary concerns - just space.  The code snippet I've already
posted is simply running in another thread spawned by the UI thread.
If I get some time I will try to work on a self-contained demo that

[android-developers] Re: Flaky network connections

[JP]

I see, sure sounded like it though. In any case, to manage
communications helped out a great deal to eliminate the breakdowns
I've seen, similar to what you described. Once you've determined the
root cause of your problem I recommend to pull in a layer that handles
calls as I described.
Other than that, do exactly what Mark suggested - try to isolate the
problem. I've had similar thoughts re: the health of my particular
handset on another occasion (responses to touches) when in fact I had
to work out a couple of bugs. One was particularly odd, because it
rippled down to other apps once I had triggered it in mine, so one
would think it wasn't my problem. So... from distance... a handset
problem seems unlikely.

Not putting words in Mark's mouth but he meant to explain that you
need to eliminate uncertainties; one being the site you try to access
and if it's bomb proof as you describe; done.

Next - you've got to isolate the problem. No way around it even though
recreating the problem in a sandbox will cost you a couple of hours.
Wireless comms is a tricky environment; the spiel of the different
states of the underlying stack and their impact on your app are more
complex than what you will find in the emulator. For test purposes,
you definitely should reduce the complexity of your multi-threaded
environment. The correct approach for the architecture of your app
(perhaps more complicated than need be?), but a candidate to cause
trouble if you do not fully understand the dynamics of the underlying
communications stack (emulator vs. the real thing).

[android-developers] Re: Setting up intents for dynamic buttons

[alexdonnini]

Hello Julian,

I think that you need to attach the button by name to the view.

Please refer to this thread for information which might be relevant.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/297073fb1c8579cc/df6767b1f70f86d6?lnk=gstq=alexdonnini#df6767b1f70f86d6

 Ok.  I have a screen that is essentially a list with a dynamic number
 of items.  Each of these items when clicked needs to switch to the
 next screen and pass a variable over saying which was clicked.  I am
 trying to use intents to do this, but I am having some trouble.  Here
 is the chunk of code where I am trying to do this:

 for (int i = 0; i  count; i++){
                 mi = db.getItem(i);
                 //countText.setText(mi.title);
                 items[i] = new TextView(this);
                 items[i].setClickable(true);
                 items[i].setText(mi.title);
                 inteIntent = new Intent(this, MIScreen.class);
                 inteIntent.putExtra(com.android.MIScreen.curIndex, i);
                 items[i].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                  public void onClick(View v) {
                         startActivity(inteIntent);
                  }
              });
                 linearLayout.addView(items[i]);
                 //items[i].setVisibility(1);
         };

 What happens is every button I click just has the last intent settings
 so no matter which one I click the next screen shows that I clicked
 the last item.  I also tried to do this by using an array of intents.
 But that gives me an error when I click a button that I have not been
 able to figure out.

 So how should I be doing this?  Am I taking the wrong approach
 completely or am I just missing something small?

 Also, Im trying to use the wsimport tool to set up the Amazon API but
 am very unfamiliar with the Java tools and can't get wsimport to run
 on the command line at all.

 Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Querys involving more than one table of Contatcs Content Provider

[jarkman]

I've been looking at a similar problem. Something like this:

Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
Contacts.GroupMembership.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]
{Contacts.GroupMembership._ID,Contacts.GroupMembership.PERSON_ID,
Contacts.GroupColumns.NAME},
Contacts.GroupMembership._ID =
Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS,
null, null);

will get you the IDs of the people in the group.

I'd love to make a cursor which also included the name of the person,
but as far as I know there is no way to do that with a single query.

That is, as far as I can tell, there's no way to do a join via the
content provider interface, and permissions prevent us from accessing
the contacts database directly via SQL calls. I really hope somebody
can prove me wrong!

 I could not figure out how to do this with the ContentProvider. As far
 as I understood the table structure, I need to use the GroupMembership
 table, the Groups table (to get the ID of the My Contacts group and
 the People table to actually retrieve the contact data. Has anyone
 successfully solved this task?

 Thanks!

 I can disclose the URL, it's publicly available and always up - yahoo
 finance csv stock price download.  For example:
 http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG+Tf=sl1c1p2

 It doesn't get much more highly available than this.  I could test
 other URLs, but as I have mentionned before, the exact same code, with
 the exact same URL runs marvelously in the emulator, so I very much
 doubt it has anything to do with the URL.  It's also not specific to
 wi-fi on the handset.  I get the same behavior when I disable wi-fi
 and use only 3G.

 It would take me a bit of work to create a reproducible snippet, no
 proprietary concerns - just space.  The code snippet I've already
 posted is simply running in another thread spawned by the UI thread.
 If I get some time I will try to work on a self-contained demo that
 reproduces the problem on my handset.

[android-developers] Re: Flaky network connections

[joshv]

I appear to have found the problem.  The polling thread was starting
in the constructor of a different class, and NOT from the UI thread.
I changed the code to launch the polling thread from the main UI
thread in the call to the Activity's onResume method - and it seems to
be working quite well on the handset now.

Why would this make a difference?  No idea.  I am assuming it's some
subtlety of the security implementation with respect to threading.
Perhaps the reason it worked on the emulator is that my handset and
the emulator are at different release levels.

[android-developers] Re: Flaky network connections

[Tom Gibara]

Yes, it's on the UI thread.
I still think the balance of probabilities is a bug in your code. As far as
I know, permissions are assigned on a app-process basis. And what's the
likelihood of some unspecified change causing the problems, versus a race
condition in your code triggered by a difference in speed between the
emulator and the phone?

Produce a tidy test case and report an issue, then everyone can find out
it's a bug in the Android framework. Until then I think we have to assume
its your bug.

Going all the way back to your original post, the snippet of source
 you
provided doesn't seem problematic (other than I'm a fan of
HTTPComponents over URLConnection), but, then again, we aren't going
 to
be able to reproduce your problem with just that snippet.
 
In the end, if we collectively get a reproducible scenario that
 works,
that sample code should serve us well on the issue tracker to make
 sure
this gets looked at.

[android-developers] Re: Call JavaScript functions in the WebKit?

 Possible?  Suggestions?

 I don't think you can get a result directly from calling
 loadUrl(javascript:yourfunctionhere()) on a WebView.

 However, you *could*:

 1. Add a callback via addJavascriptInterface()

 2. Have your Javascript function call that callback with your result

 3. Call the Javascript function as described above

 On the plus side, this probably works. On the minus side, it requires a
 change, or at least a wrapper, for the Javascript function to use the
 callback.

Hi Mark,

Y'know I did some digging after posting this and came to this exact
same conclusion.  Thanks for verifying what I thought was the case.
I'll tinker around and see if it works.  I'll let the list know what I
find.

Thanks.  And happy holidays

You probably want to use android:configChanges=orientation|

Also, where in your manifest did you put this?  It's a parameter of
the activity section.

And it works when I do it :)

   After a long working weekend I finally have a grasp on how activities
   bind to services (as well as how services outlive the activities that
   started them). But it seems that through binding, the communication is
   only 1-way (Activity - Service). How can my service notify my
   activity of something? Do I need to define a BroadcastReceiver and
   sendBroadcast() from my service or is there an easier way to do it
   while the Service and Activity are binded?

   (This is a Remote Service btw, and if you're going to tell me to use a
   Handler, please please please include a link to a tutorial or some
   good sample code, cause I can't seem to find any)

 You have two choices:

 1. Work with the core Android team, over onhttp://source.android.com,
 to add greater BT support.

 2. Wait until that work gets done by somebody else.

 In either case, to use it in an SDK-level application (versus in the
 firmware), you will most likely need to wait until the next release of
 the SDK.

[android-developers] Android Download Service

I was wondering if there is a reusable Android Download service, e.g.
like the one used by Android Market to download a file to a certain

extras for the sourceUrl, destinationFolder and an intent to be called
when the file has been downloaded.

I'm guessing I can (try) and implement my own service to do this, but
it would be nice if there was a standard download service that
everyone could use.

Android and the ability to specify preferences in an XML file.
However, I would like to perform validation on preferences,
particularly on preferences within a child preference screen. Is this
possible and if so is there a standard way of displaying an error
message to the user?

I am also hoping to group any changes made within the child preference
screen and save them all at once. Is this possible? The reason for
doing it this way is that the preferences are all related and when
they are changed this sets into motion a series of events within my
application. If each change the user makes is saved straight away then
the events will be triggered multiple times because I am using a
preferences listener to pick up the changes.

Many thanks,

Charles

[android-developers] FLAG_ONEWAY for asynchronous communication between services

[nimbus83]

Hi,

for research reasons I want to study the possibility for asynchronous
communication between services in Android. Currently I'm using the
FLAG_ONEWAY option in the AIDL interface of the services. What I see
is that the asynchronous commmunication works fine when the services
are implemented in different APKs.

If the services are implemented in the same APK, they communicate
synchronous although I have defined them with the attribute
android:process=:remote and I've used the FLAG_ONEWAY option.

Can anybody explain me why that happens? Is it possible for two
services to communicate asynchronously with each other through AIDL
interfaces using the FLAG_ONEWAY option?

Best wishes,
Vladimir

[android-developers] Re: Android Download Service

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

The download code that is used by the Android Market (and a few other
system apps) is here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/providers/DownloadProvider.git;a=summary=

Its primary interface to initiate downloads actually uses a content
provider, not intents (though I have thought about adding an
intent-based interface). For a variety of reasons, it can only be used
for system applications (and it would take a fair bit of effort to fix
that, though I'd like to see it eventually happen).

Unfortunately, the code as it is doesn't compile with the SDK, because
it uses APIs that aren't public at this point. You can still use it
for inspiration, and of someone wants to make it SDK-compilable,
please hop over to the android-framework mailing list and we'll
discuss the details.

 when the file has been downloaded.

 I'm guessing I can (try) and implement my own service to do this, but
 it would be nice if there was a standard download service that
 everyone could use.

[android-developers] Re: FLAG_ONEWAY for asynchronous communication between services

[Dianne Hackborn]

A oneway interface currently only applies when an IPC is needed to go
through the interface -- that is when the callee and caller are running in
different processes -- and is handled by Binder, the low-level IPC
transport.

When two interfaces are in the same process, calls on them are just direct
function calls into the other object, so there is no way to introduce
asynchronicity.  I'd like to do the user-space work to allow for async local
interfaces, but don't know when that may happen.  In the meantime, what we
generally do is use a Handler on the receiving side to schedule the work in
another thread so that all calls into the object are async.

[android-developers] CacheManager.CacheResult

[Peter]

Has anyone been able to create a valid CacheResult object manually?  I
am using UrlInterceptHandler to return custom cached html pages.  The
instance variables of CacheManager.CacheResult are accessible within
the android.webkit package only.  And as far as I can tell there is no
way to set the mimeType of a CacheResult object.  I went through the
code from the Android Open Source Project and it looks like the
android webkit caching code accesses the instance variable directly
rather than through the getters.  So I could not even use a custom
CacheResult object.

Has anyone been able to use UrlInterceptHandler successfully?

I also saw that there is a method call CacheManager.createCacheFile
but it is not available in the Android 1.0 r1 sdk.Will this be
available soon?

And to further clear up my intentions:
 
I have a model class called Event. It represents user activity in
 my

delivered to the user through NotificationManager. For every such
event, the NM calls Event.toNotification() and delivers the
notification.
 
Furthermore, I have an activity called EventDetailsActivity. This is
triggered whenever the user taps on the notification to read the
 event
info in full length. This implies primarily two things:
 
1. I must be able to pass an Event model object to
EventDetailsActivity whenever the user taps the corresponding
notification
2. I must be able to reuse EventDetailsActivity even it is already
displaying another event (e.g. update it via onNewIntent())
 
Thus, in Event.toNotification(), I do this:
 
   public final Notification toNotification(Context context) {
   Intent intent = new Intent(context,
EventDetailsActivity.class);
   intent.putExtra(event, this);
   intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

   configureIntent(intent); // template method for subclasses
 
   PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity

(getNotificationIcon(),
   getTickerText(), getDate().getTime());
   notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, getTitle(), getText

Hope that clears up my intentions.

 As Guillaume suggested, I solved the problem by calling

 I have an activity which listens to certain event from another

 box to appear on top of the other application?  What's happening is that the
 dialog box does not appear while the other application still running.  But
 as soon as I close the other application, it goes back to my activity, and
 the dialog box stays there.

 Do I need to convert the activity to a service?

 Thanks,

Can we assure application#OnCreate run before activity#onCreate ?

[android-developers] Re: ListView selection highlight size

[Andriy Zakharchuk]

 Have you tried setting your own list selector via android:listSelector
 or setSelector(int)?

Hmm, when I read documentation first time I thought that it is a kind
of an icon (checkbox or smth else) I can use in addition to the
selection. Now, I played with it a little bit, and I guess that's what
I need (I also need a designer :) who can read about Draw 9-patch
and create a selector image similar to the native Android one, but
smaller). It completely replaces selector.

However, I'm disappointed that Android doesn't support all list item
sizes (available via TextAppearance styles) natively. :( I use
standard (non-custom) components with standard styles and have to
create custom selector to make it look consistent.

Thanks for your help, Mark!

[android-developers] Re: HTTP compression lost when using 3G connection

[melody]

Thanks. I ran the test in the emulator, and the http compression was
kept.  So this does indeed seem to be a problem being caused by a
proxy at T-Mobile.

Not to be overly dramatic, but isn't this a pretty serious issue?  I
would think that under 3G, T-Mobile would very much want us all to be
using HTTP compression so that we don't flood their network.  Even on
my home broadband connection, when I turn off http compression in my
browser to do testing work, most websites load much more slowly,
especially with the massive css/js files being transmitted these
days.

Something else that may or may not be related:
I noticed that the T-Mobile proxy is also converting my http request
to a HTTP 1.0 request, whereas I am actually trying to send a HTTP
1.1 request.

[android-developers] Re: HTTP compression lost when using 3G connection

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

It's actually not uncommon in the cell world to turn off compression
on the public Internet, so that the proxy can have an easier time
looking at the data and processing it to send it over the air (where
it is compressed), i.e. trading Internet bandwidth for some CPU time
on the proxy.

[android-developers] Re: android.opengl.Matrix

[Robert Green]

Because your 3D world is virtual and infinite, meaning that it's not
fixed at 0 to 100.  Your whole world could be 0 to 1 if you wanted or
-1000 to 1000.  This means that you really need floats because there
will be too much error if everything is rounded to the nearest whole
number.  Also, If you were to use ints or longs, there would be
potential for overflow instead of rounding, which would be disastrous
for any of the math.

Maybe I wasn't too clear in my question but I am talking about using
fixed point numbers (16.16).  OpenGL has a fixed point version of
almost all functions but the android.opengl.Matrix class is strictly
floats.

[android-developers] Re: connection with Gdata : problem

[Declan Shanaghy]

Following the recommendation from this thread:
http://markmail.org/message/2do7hlyw6ka4dat2#query:android%20HttpsUrlConnection+page:2+mid:slnqe4wtk6k77e3r+state:results

I have placed some modified jars here:
http://www.shanaghy.com/gdatamod/


I modified the gdata source to override the https cert verifier in the
following places.
com\google\gdata\client\GoogleAuthTokenFactory.java(461):
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\authn\oauth\OAuthHttpClient.java(43):
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(303): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(371): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(431): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\HttpGDataRequest.java(320):
HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection)
requestUrl.openConnection();


The modified code looks like this:

// Open connection
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
if ( urlConnection instanceof HttpsURLConnection ) {
HttpsURLConnection ucs = (HttpsURLConnection) urlConnection;
ucs.setHostnameVerifier( new X509HostnameVerifier(){
@Override
public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
return true;
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, SSLSocket arg1) throws IOException {
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, X509Certificate arg1)
throws SSLException {
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, String[] arg1, String[]
arg2) throws SSLException {
}
});
}


I have only tested this using PicasawebService.setUserCredentials and
it passed the verification step without any problems.

I have not tested this extensively and do not plan to maintain it.
If you wish to use it do so at your own leisure/risk   ;-P

The issue of internet access on the emulator built from the

build and wipe data for it to stick.

continue on one of the open-source lists (e.g. android-framework)
instead of using an SDK list.

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to add a custom link in the Share Picture Via dialog?

[Bill Napier]

If you look at how the MMS App handles this:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Mms.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/mms/ui/ComposeMessageActivity.java;h=b4a00709c596b5da5cefc1486924aab6bbbf63fe;hb=HEAD#l2162

This is what they do:

Uri uri = (Uri)extras.getParcelable(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);

My guess is that
intent.getStringExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_STREAM) returns
null because the value stored for that key isn't a string but a URI.

I want to do the same thing in an app I'm working on, but I won't have
a chance to work on it until tomorrow. :(  But I'm glad that you're
working through all the issues now so it should be easier for me

[android-developers] Maps API Key to run in emulator, is it necessary??

[crontabpy]

hi there,

kind of confused with this, found  two documentations:

http://code.google.com/android/toolbox/apis/mapkey.html
Stated:
Because MapView gives you access to Google Maps data, you need to
register with the Google Maps service and agree to the applicable
Terms of Service before your MapView will be able to obtain data from
Google Maps. This will apply whether you are developing your
application on the emulator or preparing your application for
deployment to mobile devices.

http://code.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/maps/package-descr.html
Stated:
In order to use a MapView in your app, you need to include the
android:apiKey attribute in the MapView (or include a key in the
MapView constructor). For now, just put any value there (e.g.,
myapikey)

so, do I need it or not?

Also, where can I find any sample that loads a map? App demos in the
SDK dont load any...

Now getting a map key is enforced so you need to get the API key from Google

  You have two choices:

  1. Work with the core Android team, over onhttp://source.android.com,
  to add greater BT support.

  2. Wait until that work gets done by somebody else.

  In either case, to use it in an SDK-level application (versus in the
  firmware), you will most likely need to wait until the next release of
  the SDK.

[android-developers] Re: Issues: Webview.loadData() trying to load a string created from a read file(asset) and a string

[polo777]

Hi,

Finally I created the content provider overriding the openFile method
so that I can use loadUrl() but still a part of the Javascript (of the
page loaded) that worked when it was loading from the web or an asset
file doesn't work here. I got a WebCore error telling me there is a
parsing issue!!! The content is exactly the same. Looks like the
WebKit doesn't work the same whether the file is an asset, page loaded
from Network or a string or a text from a file (ContentProvider
solution).
This problem drives me crazy!

[android-developers] Re: Streaming RTSP directly by suing MediaPlayer

[Dave Sparks]

The media framework does support RTSP with RTP payloads. The OpenCore
code includes an RTSP/RTP client built on sockets that will handle
buffering and transport controls.

It does not work in the emulator environment due to some firewall
issues in the emulator network layer.

[android-developers] Re: Error after creating a service

[G]

If you could include the code from your service, it would help to
diagnose the problem. As far as creating the service in eclipse, it's
nothing more that creating a new class that extends Service (unless
you're trying to implement an interface as well). I'd suggest starting
with a new project and building a very simple service from scratch
(i.e. without all the code you have already included in it). See if
the new simple service compiles and runs (you'll still need an
activity as android wont install an app without a main activity node),
then bit by bit, add your code to it, just make sure to compile and
test after every significant change.

Er...  the onStart() method takes Intent as a parameter, so that is what
your onStart() method should be taking.  This code looks like it was from a
pre-1.0 version of the platform (and whoever wrote it didn't use @Override,
naughty naughty!).

[android-developers] Re: Android Camera Preview Filter Using Camera.PreviewCallback.onPreviewFrame

[dmanpearl]

Peter and Jeff,

Thanks for each of your fantastic help, I am very close to achieving a
filtered preview display as required for my project - Modification of
the Android Camera Display from onPreviewFrame.

Here is my current stumbling block:
I can't seem to make coexist: SurfaceHolder for the camera  ImageView
for the filtered Bitmap to display.

One must assign the Camera preview display into a SurfaceHolder in
order to get preview callbacks:
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
The SurfaceHolder's Surface must be a child of the current View in
order to receive surfaceCreated, surfaceChanged, and surfaceDestroyed
callbacks.
I have been using an ImageView object to display the Bitmap into which
I am writing my decoded preview data via an int[] array.

Therefore, both the SurfaceView and the ImageView seem to have to be
children of the same ViewGroup, which is currently displayed.
However, as soon as I add the ImageView to the ViewGroup via:
linearLayout.addView(imageView);  or
absoluteLayout.addView(imageView); etc.
My Activity stops receiving Camera preview callbacks onPreviewFrame
().  LogCat indicates an AndroidRuntime ERROR: thread attach failed
error.  I am not sure if this is related.

I have tried setting the Surface to the same size as the Camera
preview size setting in the surfaceChanged callback:
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
final Size preSz = parameters.getPreviewSize();
mHolder.setFixedSize(preSz.width, preSz.height);

I tried to create and manage the Surface (needed by Camera preview)
outside of the SurfaceHolder callbacks using the Activity's onResume
and onPause methods.  I did this so that I would not have to put the
SurfaceView into the active display hierarchy (i.e. remove as child of
current View) so that it would not conflict with the ImageView as
above.  Unfortunately, this causes a Camera exception app passed NULL
surface - directly after my call to:
surfaceView = new SurfaceView(this);
mHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
// mHolder.addCallback(this);


Do you know why I can't make the Camera's Surface and an ImageView
Bitmap simultaneous members of the same active ViewGroup?

Thanks again.  Your generous responses help me more than you might
realize.

 - Regards, David Manpearl

  4. I believe that processing breaks down whenever I spend too much
  time in the onPreviewFrame function.

 That's what I observed too: so do the heavy duty image processing
 outside onPreviewFrame(), with supplementary frame skipping and
 subsampling as needed. Then there is no problem quitting the app
 either.

  I'd incurr an extra copy of the YUV_422 byte[] buffer from
  onCameraFrame into the Thread prior to processing.

 Yes, you need to take care of the limited data[] lifetime in
 onPreviewFrame().

  Between this and skipping frames that overlap the frame-processing thread,
  this might drastically reduce the filter/display speed.

 I doubt that the buffer copying matters (especially when using
 arraycopy) as compared to the time lost in decoding the preview image
 (pixel-by-pixel) for lack of an Android API with a native decoding
 method for the preview format(s).

  I've looked at various offsets within each expected set of 6 bytes for each 
  2 pixels.

 For the Y (luminance) part just use the first block in data[]: the
 colors are not interleaved with Y; Y is in one block of bytes with
 offset zero in data[], with one byte per pixel. So decoding Y is easy,
 and identical for emulator and G1 (except for the stride due to
 preview image size differences: default 176x144 vs 480x320).

[android-developers] Two questions about Toast

[Jamie L]

In the code below, I added a button to the toast, but I am facing two
problems.

1.  The button is not clickable!  onClick is not called when I click on the
button.
2.  If I replace Toast.LENGTH_LONG with a number 1, the toast does not
stay for 10 seconds.

Is it by design that you can't add any listener to the UI controls on the
toast?
How do you change the duration of how long the toast stays?


[code]

protected void showToast() {
   LayoutInflater vi = (Layout Inflater) getSystemService(Context...);
   View view = vi.inflate (R.layout, null);

   toast = new Toast(this);
   TextView tv = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id);
   tv.setText(blah);
   toast.setView(view);
   toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

   Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id);
   button.setOnClickListener (new Button.OnClickLIstener() {
  public void onClick(View v) {
 // do a few things here before cancel
 toast.cancel();
  }}
   );
   toast.show();

[/code]

I will be dealing with a somewhat similar situation later this week, 
when I attempt to join data from a ContentProvider and a SQLite database.

Since what I want in the end is a Cursor, the approach I am trying is to 
use a custom CursorWrapper subclass. It will get handed the Cursor from 
the ContentProvider and will fold in the data from the SQLite database 
on demand as the relevant values are requested. Caching gets a mite 
tricky (gotta remember to flush the cache on requery(), for example), 
but I see no reason it won't work.

[android-developers] Re: Two questions about Toast

[Romain Guy]

 1.  The button is not clickable!  onClick is not called when I click on the
 button.

Toasts are meant only to display information, they are not meant for
user interaction. Use a dialog to do this.

 2.  If I replace Toast.LENGTH_LONG with a number 1, the toast does not
 stay for 10 seconds.

You cannot specify the duration of a toast except using the predefined duration.

 Is it by design that you can't add any listener to the UI controls on the
 toast?

Yes.

 How do you change the duration of how long the toast stays?

You can choose between SHORT and LONG.

My application listens to certain event from another app.  As soon as the
event is received, I want to displays a dialog or a toast to notify the user
and give users a few action choices with buttons.  We can't display a dialog
because it doesn't pop up in the foreground over the other app.  Toast is my
only choice.  Looks like toast is not the answer either!

You can use notifications :) (If it makes sense, that is)

you can put buttons on notification?
