Hello,

What I could advise is to donwload the android source code. You have
the source of contact application.
It would help a lot !

 Hello all,

 I'm trying to implement a view similar to the Contact view (screen
 with a contact icon, name, favourite checkbox, dial number and send
 SMS actions) available in the Android emulator. And I'm interesting if
 there are any standard styles available for that. Particularly, I'm
 looking for:

 1. Style for the header view (gray background where an icon and a
 contact name are displayed).

 Well, this probably is used only in Contacts application, so it may be
 not among system styles. But hopefully someone encountered smth like
 this.

 2. Style for list section header (where Dial number, Send SMS/MMS text
 appears), it looks similar to window header. It seems I got smth close
 to that style with:

 TextView labelTitle = new TextView(MyActivity.this, null,
 android.R.attr.windowTitleBackgroundStyle);
 labelTitle.setTextAppearance(MyActivity.this,
 android.R.style.TextAppearance_WindowTitle);

 but background colour looks slightly different. Besides, there are two
 default style attributes are available:
 android.R.attr.windowTitleStyle and
 android.R.attr.windowTitleBackgroundStyle. First is responsible for
 the font size/colour another is responsible for the background. Is
 there any solution to apply them both using constructor only (without
 setting text appearance later)?

 And the last question, have anybody seen the list of all available
 styles in Android with images what do they look like?

 Thank you in advance.

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

2008-11-26 Thread nimbus83


Thank you for your answer.

On 25 Nov., 19:14, Dianne Hackborn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 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 I wrote my message yesterday, I had two services in the same APK.
They were BOTH defined in the AndroidManifest.xml with the attribute
android:process=:remote. I expected that the services will run in
different processes, because I thought android:process=:remote will
automatically place each service in its own process. The FLAG_ONEWAY
option didn't work while the services were communicating with each
other.

Today I edited the APK's AndroidManifest.xml and now only one of the
both processes has the android:process=:remote attribute in its
service tag. Now the asynchronous communication works in both
directions with the FLAG_ONEWAY option in the transact()-method of
both AIDL interfaces.

I read the documentation about android:process. I understood that in
case we define two services inside one APK with the
android:process=:remote attribute, then the both services are inside
the same process because the attribute refers to the same process
name. If a developer want to have each service inside one APK in its
own process, she/he has to declare the android:process attribute like
that : android:process=:Service_Process_Unique_Name_For_This_APK.

In this way the asynchronous communication between services in own
processes in Android is possible. I hope the fact each service run in
separate process does not have enormous and destructive impact on
Android's performance and runtime environment.


 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.


I shall probably also take a look at the possibility for Handler usage.

  Without using one of these options above to set the location, the

  A better way is to get the LocationAPISample and geo_sample_data

  The LocationSample registers a LocationListener so we keep getting

[android-developers] Two applications respond to the same intent


Hello all,

I've posted a question at the following link regarding issue I met
when trying to replace the standard contact application that comes
with android :

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/565d89d354691a/d4f9d6a5f9560ffd#d4f9d6a5f9560ffd

I've done more tests to try to understand what is happening. Also I
have added my app in preferred package with :

   PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
   pm.addPackageToPreferred(getPackageName());

(Note that I also have the right permission in the manifest)

This is the log I have from logcat :

/ActivityManager(   55): Starting activity: Intent
{ action=android.intent.action.MAIN categories=
{android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} flags=0x1000 comp=
{com.android.contacts/
com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity} }
/dalvikvm(   97): GC freed 3025 objects / 156504 bytes in 66ms
/AndroidRuntime(   97): Shutting down VM
/dalvikvm(   97): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception
(group=0x40010e28)
/AndroidRuntime(   97): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to
uncaught exception
/AndroidRuntime(   97): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start

rocess android.process.acore (with uid 10002)
/AndroidRuntime(   97):at
android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:
2140) ...

To summarize my previous post :

I've found the intents that allow my application to be launched when I
click on the contact icon from android. So now it prompts me to choose
between the standard contact app an my contact app, with a option to
set my app to be the default one. When I set this option and launch my
app, I got the error above.

What I could see :

It seems that the standard contact app is launched prior to mine
whereas both of them respond to the SAME intents. It also seems that
it requested my application to run in the same process
android.process.acore. I know I could not make it to run using the
process.acore for security reason, and anyway I wan't my app to run in
its own process.

My questions are then :

Is it the normal behavior that one could expect when two applications
respond to the same intents ?
Why would an application be launched prior to the other one that
respond to the same intents ?

Thanks for help, I really have no more idea of how I could resolve
this .

[android-developers] G1 Calendar app on Emulator/SDK?

2008-11-26 Thread ams163


Hello,

We are trying to use the Calendar App/API on the emulator/latest SDK,
but people here are saying that the app is not available in the SDK.
Is there any way we can get it from source (android source) and add it
to the SDK ourselves?

We want to try and avoid having to download the full android source
code, and then developing against it in Ubuntu/Linux (we currently use
windows xp for all our development).

If there is no way to get this app in the SDK/emulator, then we'd like
to know if we can indeed develop against the android source code/
platform in Eclipse. We are currently just using the windows android
sdk and eclipse android plugin to develop android applications. Would
eclipse also integrate well with the source version of android ?
(automatic code signing using debug certificate, automatic build,
automatic deployment, emulator launch, debugging etc)

Would appreciate any help, thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Getting File Descriptor For Pipe


This is unlikely to work because the OpenCore engine isn't setup to
play from a pipe. It plays from a local file, which allows it to seek
within the file, or from an HTTP or RTSP/RTP stream, which requires
content formatted specifically for streaming.

A future version of the SDK will support streamed audio I/O from Java
apps.

On Nov 26, 7:47 am, Kenneth Loafman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I'm relatively new to Java and I need some help, probably in the

 How do you get a file descriptor for a Pipe in Java?  I've looked and I've

 file name from the user.

 I need to generate a sound and be able to change it roughly 24 times per
 second.  Threaded MediaPlayer just is not smooth enough to enable it to be
 continuous (clicks and silence), so I was thinking of changing the data
 source to an FD and just feed it a continuous stream, changing as needed.
 I just can't find where Java is hiding the file descriptor.

 Any help will be appreciated.

[android-developers] Contacts Performance

2008-11-26 Thread Don Pellegrino


I have 620 contact records that I maintain in GNOME's Evolution on
Linux.  My first attempt at getting them onto a T-Mobile G1 was using
syncevolution with Funambol and the Android Funambol client.  The
Funambol client is incredibly slow but I suppose that is an issue for
discussion at the Funambol client site.  More of a concern is that
when all of the contact records were loaded the built-in Contacts
application was unable to handle them.

The built-in Contacts application would load successfullly and display
the records however it was unusably slow.  After opening Contacts I
would get the Sorry dialog box indicating that the service was not
responding with the option to kill it or wait.  If I selected wait it
would evenutally respond but scrolling was unresponsive.  Although
Contacts didn't crash it could not preform its function as it would
not be useful to have such long delays when the use case is to place a
telephone call to someone in the contacts list.

So the question I need to answer is if the Contacts application was
not written with performance characteristics such that it can handle
620 contacts with a fast response time or if the Funambol loading of
records skipped some sort of important indexing operation.  Is anyone
have success with Contacts using 600 or more records?  If so were they
synchronized via Gmail or through some other conduit?

Have you tried adding android:clickable and/or android:longClickable? 
I'm not sure if TextView necessarily responds to those events by 
default, so you might have to toggle them on yourself.

[android-developers] Re: Two applications respond to the same intent

What is the manifest for your application?

Note that addPackageToPreferred() was not intended to be in the final
system, and it will be turned off in a future release (it is an old simpler
way to manage preferred applications, which deeply conflicts with the
current intent-based model).

 Hello all,

 I've posted a question at the following link regarding issue I met

 I've done more tests to try to understand what is happening. Also I
 have added my app in preferred package with :

   PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
   pm.addPackageToPreferred(getPackageName());

 (Note that I also have the right permission in the manifest)

 This is the log I have from logcat :

 To summarize my previous post :

 I've found the intents that allow my application to be launched when I
 click on the contact icon from android. So now it prompts me to choose
 between the standard contact app an my contact app, with a option to
 set my app to be the default one. When I set this option and launch my
 app, I got the error above.

 What I could see :

 It seems that the standard contact app is launched prior to mine
 whereas both of them respond to the SAME intents. It also seems that
 it requested my application to run in the same process
 android.process.acore. I know I could not make it to run using the
 process.acore for security reason, and anyway I wan't my app to run in
 its own process.

 My questions are then :

 Is it the normal behavior that one could expect when two applications
 respond to the same intents ?
 Why would an application be launched prior to the other one that
 respond to the same intents ?

 Thanks for help, I really have no more idea of how I could resolve
 this .

Calls through an aidl interface in the same process are simple direct

There is currently no way to bundle multiple .apks into a single thing that

applications they need to install.

 Can you check your server logs and confirm that you are getting 404's
 there that match your 404's you're getting on the client?

 If they're there, do you see anything unusual in the paths recorded in
 the server logs? Maybe the URL is getting munged somehow before you hand
 it off to the HTTPComponents.

[android-developers] Re: AIDL in same process


IPC binder calls within the same process are treated as local C++
calls, i.e. they occur synchronously on the same thread.

I'm not sure what you are asking in the second part of your question.
Is this a request for dependencies in the Market, e.g. Application A
requires Application B to be installed?

Thanks for the reply.  My account was indeed setup manually.  I'll
look forward to the update then.  If you are associated with Google
perhaps you could update the status of Issue 1029 with this great
news.  Having access to the bug reports is so relaxing and so much
better than the non-android alternatives.

Also, if this is just a bug in the setup process does it happen to
write a config file somewhere such as /etc?  Could I manually edit the
file to make the correction as a temporary work-around?

[android-developers] Push Notification Techniques: Discuss

2008-11-26 Thread G


So here's something to think about while stuffing your face with
turkey. What are some techniques that could be used for push
notifications to an app (service) in android? The simplest option I
can think of is what Fusion's visual voicemail uses, which is to
monitor incoming SMS messages. The problem with this method is that
Android currently has no way to cancel the notification that is sent
by the messaging app. So for every notification your app gets, the OS
will also show a text message (which is totally lame btw). Another
option would be having your service poll you server every few minutes
to create the illusion of push notifications. That's what I'd call a
cheap trick that would hurt battery life pretty badly after not too
long. Another option I've considered is having your service create a
persistent connection to your server. This would be pretty painful not
only on the battery life of the phone, but also on your servers, if
you had lots of users. So what are some other options? Or do we have
to wait for Google to change their minds and let us clear sms
notifications (with appropriate permissions of course)? Does TouchDown
(the new exchange app) support push notifications (my exchange is
2003, so i cant test it)? If so, anyone know how they did it?

Any ideas at all, please add them. Remember, there are no stupid
ideas, even if they might not work right away.

P.S. To to folks at Google, please help us out. By not giving devs the
ability to push notifications to our apps from the internet, you've
seriously gimped our ability to design lots of killer apps and thereby
boost the popularity of android. This has got to be something you guys
have thought about before, right? I know you wanted 3rd parties to
handle the exchange compatibility, but you had to consider that we'd
need some sort of Push to do that. Should we wait for the next SDK
update or what?

   Without using one of these options above to set thelocation, the

Invent a new phone signaling standard, beyond GSM.

[android-developers] How to do a ScrollView in a LinearLayout correctly


How should we correctly use a ScrollView in a LinearLayout, where I
want a static LinearLayout at the bottom of the main LinearLayout
(let's call it layMain, the ScrollView just scroll and the bottom
layBottom). An example (it's not a valid layout structure, only for
demo):
[syntax=xml]LinearLayout id=main
ScrollView id=scroll/
LinearLayout id=layBottom orientation=vertical gravity=bottom
  Button /
  Button /
/LinearLayout
/LinearLayout
[/syntax]
The problem is, when the view inside scroll grows bigger than the
screen, either, scroll obscures layBottom, or scroll goes under
layBottom, rendering the lower Views in scroll unusable.

Does anyone have an idea? I tried putting it in a FrameLayout, and
scroll goes underneath layBottom.

I've got it working now and this is how it works for me:
 
For getLastKnownLocation() to work, the best way is to telnet into
 the
emulator geo fix command or DDMS controls using Eclipse.
Without using one of these options above to set thelocation, the
method will return null.
 
A better way is to get the LocationAPISample and geo_sample_data
 fromhttp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/files
 
The LocationSample registers a LocationListener so we keep getting
   locationupdates instead of just onelocationvalue plus the .gpx file
can be used to set locations or simulate a path (cool!)

[android-developers] Re: Push Notification Techniques: Discuss

2008-11-26 Thread Tom Gibara

TCP/IP is packet based, so the CPU is not required until a packet arrives.
And the radio is necessarily always on. So maintaining such a connection,
though by no means free, is not as costly as one might at first think.
My preference would be for an web service that allowed 3rd party apps to
'share' the update mechanism already used in Google's applications. There
are lots of difficulties in terms of the scale of that service (something
that Google can obviously accommodate already) but also issues like
protecting against abuse of the service by buggy or malicious apps.

It does however present an extremely phone-power efficient solution since
'push' system is already running on almost all phones (if not all).

Tom.

  From what I've read and experienced myself so far, it's pretty much
  like this:

  1) LocationManager cannot be subclassed anymore, instead you use the
  debug bridge to send location fixes. Unfortunately, this thing is
  broken in two ways: Firstly, it only works on systems with a US locale
  (?? sounds odd, but I can definitely tell it does not work for me...),
  and secondly, the proclaimed geo command from the tools/ folder
  isn't even there...!

  2) In order for LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation() to actually
  work, one has to register a listener, although this may not even what
  the programmer needs -- I surely don't want it, I want to poll for
  updates only

offensive comments.
If google can't/won't moderate the comments, WHY can't we as

market is managed by Google.
They are slow, irresponsive to developers and user needs etc... Does
google become bloated can't do anything without going over 100 heads

nothing to prevent VERY offensive and irrelevant comments. How's that

Please use your own package name here.  This name is incorrect in two ways:

- The package name follows the java style, where top-level domain appears
first (i.e. com.android.foo).
- The domain needs to be one you own to prevent conflicts with other
packages.  The name www.mypackage.com is definitely not good in this
regard.  Note that this name needs to be globally unique across all android

There is no need to explicitly specify a process name, unless you are going
to have multiple .apks running in the same process (and then you need to use
sharedUserId so they can have the same uid).  Also your XML is corrupt here,
since there are attributes outside of the tag.

 (let's call it layMain, the ScrollView just scroll and the bottom
 layBottom). An example (it's not a valid layout structure, only for
 demo):
 [syntax=xml]LinearLayout id=main
 ScrollView id=scroll/
 LinearLayout id=layBottom orientation=vertical gravity=bottom
   Button /
   Button /
 /LinearLayout
 /LinearLayout
 [/syntax]
 The problem is, when the view inside scroll grows bigger than the
 screen, either, scroll obscures layBottom, or scroll goes under
 layBottom, rendering the lower Views in scroll unusable.

 Does anyone have an idea? I tried putting it in a FrameLayout, and
 scroll goes underneath layBottom.

I just need to get current location based on an event.
In my point of view, I cant let the listener running, that would mean

How would be a good practice on this? where can I get good information

 Without using one of these options above to set thelocation, the

2008-11-26 Thread Al Sutton


I'd just like  to remind you that by supporting the other application 
directory sites  you can give Google a commercial prod to make the 
changes you want. The carriers they have agreements with get a cut of 
sales made through market (when they start to happen), so if you want to 
hit them where it hurts start helping to publicize and support app 
directories which offer the services you want by listing your apps on 
them and keeping your listings up to date.

[android-developers] Re: Push Notification Techniques: Discuss


 And the radio is necessarily always on.

Yeah, but...

I was under the impression that, in normal operating mode, the GSM radio
is in a low-power state. That's why you have talk time versus standby
time in mobile device battery life specs -- when a call begins, the radio
stays in a high-power-draw state until the call ends.

So, the question is: with an open-but-quiet Internet connection on a
carrier data network, how much power draw is there from the GSM radio?

There's also the scenario of the device being on WiFi instead of GSM, but
that's probably not as frequent.

[android-developers] MediaPlayer seek on startup

2008-11-26 Thread David Given

I'm trying to play streaming music. The user has previously requested
that the stream start a certain way into the stream. How do I do this?

What I'm finding is that if I do:

mediaplayer.setDataSource(...);
mediaplayer.prepare();
mediaplayer.seekTo(...);

...then the seek happens *after* the initial buffer is read, which of
course is a waste [*]. But if I do:

mediaplayer.setDataSource(...);
mediaplayer.seekTo(...);
mediaplayer.prepare();

...then of course I get an IllegalStateException because the MediaPlayer
hasn't been prepared yet!

Has anyone managed to make anything like this work?



[*] Actually, of course, I'm using prepareAsync(). In fact, what I'm
observing is that calling seekTo() from the onPrepared() callback tends
to confuse MediaPlayer and it hands me a -38 error and I have to reset
and start again. It seems to only want to seek after the playback has
had a chance to settle for a few moments.

If I open a datagram socket to listen on a particular UDP port and
leave it open but don't send anything, does that keep the radio on?

If a listening socket doesn't keep the radio on, then an application
could send a couple packets to register it's IP and port and then shut
up and wait for incoming requests.

Thoughts?

[android-developers] Re: Push Notification Techniques: Discuss


 If I open a datagram socket to listen on a particular UDP port and
 leave it open but don't send anything, does that keep the radio on?

 If a listening socket doesn't keep the radio on, then an application
 could send a couple packets to register it's IP and port and then shut
 up and wait for incoming requests.

 Thoughts?

I doubt there's a unique IP address per phone on a carrier data network --
it feels like too many addresses would be needed. It's probably NATted or
the equivalent. Hence, I'm not convinced a phone can serve as a server
(TCP or UDP) without help, a la P2P NAT-traversal systems.

But, then again, I've certainly been wrong before...

[android-developers] Re: Push Notification Techniques: Discuss

2008-11-26 Thread Tom Gibara

 So, the question is: with an open-but-quiet Internet connection on a
 carrier data network, how much power draw is there from the GSM radio?
I'm probably beyond the limits of my understanding here, and definitely well
beyond the limits of my competency :)

But that won't stop me from choosing to extrapolate from the repeated
comments by Google engineers to the effect that phones are designed to
conserve power at any opportunity. On that basis, I anticipate that radio
will go into a lower power state any opportunity it can; including when a
quiet network connection is present. This seems entirely plausible given the
packet based nature of the network.

Tom.

2008/11/26 Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED]


  And the radio is necessarily always on.

 Yeah, but...

 I was under the impression that, in normal operating mode, the GSM radio
 is in a low-power state. That's why you have talk time versus standby
 time in mobile device battery life specs -- when a call begins, the radio
 stays in a high-power-draw state until the call ends.

 So, the question is: with an open-but-quiet Internet connection on a
 carrier data network, how much power draw is there from the GSM radio?

 There's also the scenario of the device being on WiFi instead of GSM, but
 that's probably not as frequent.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer seek on startup


You must always call prepare() before seekTo(). The player engine
needs to read the first part of the stream to identify the stream type
and required codecs and read the content index (if it exists).

On Nov 26, 2:55 pm, David Given [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I'm trying to play streaming music. The user has previously requested
 that the stream start a certain way into the stream. How do I do this?

 What I'm finding is that if I do:

 mediaplayer.setDataSource(...);
 mediaplayer.prepare();
 mediaplayer.seekTo(...);

 ...then the seek happens *after* the initial buffer is read, which of
 course is a waste [*]. But if I do:

 mediaplayer.setDataSource(...);
 mediaplayer.seekTo(...);
 mediaplayer.prepare();

 ...then of course I get an IllegalStateException because the MediaPlayer
 hasn't been prepared yet!

 Has anyone managed to make anything like this work?

 [*] Actually, of course, I'm using prepareAsync(). In fact, what I'm
 observing is that calling seekTo() from the onPrepared() callback tends
 to confuse MediaPlayer and it hands me a -38 error and I have to reset
 and start again. It seems to only want to seek after the playback has
 had a chance to settle for a few moments.

[android-developers] 回复：[android-devel opers] Re: how to access file system

2008-11-26 Thread front999

Thank you for your reply. Do you mean we can access whole file
system (e.g. /root/, /, /usr/lib) without permission from user?

In my understanding, the accessible file system should be the
Java file system which is not the real file system, and it might
be a part of real file system.

Image we are going to implement a file browser which can add/del
/copy any file in the real file system. (e.g. /)

Is this possible?

Correct me if my understanding was wrong.

Thank you.

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

2008-11-26 Thread dmanpearl


Hello Blindfold,

Thanks for your help.  I solved the user interface problems I was
experiencing by using a separate thread to do my image processing. I'm
still using an ImageView, and without problems.  Perhaps I will try a
Canvas in a SurfaceHolder later in this exercise to compare speeds.

MORE ON THE CAMERA LIVE PREVIEW FILTERED DISPLAY CAPABILITY

As you know, I want to display live camera data through a custom
filter.

I got most of the way through the YCbCr_422_SP data buffer returned to
Android's Camera.PreviewCallback onCameraFrame() callback function,
and now I am looking for help decyphering the U, V portion of the
buffer.  I verified that the first (width*height) bytes are simple Y
luminance values that can be displayed (via Bitmap and ImageView) to
make a viable gray-scale image.  The total number of bytes are (width
* height * 3 / 2).

The remaining 1/2 image bytes are clearly used to store U, V (Cb, Cr)
data.  Therefore, there are 1/4 image bytes for each U, V component
(i.e. each U, V component is used for 4 pixels of the image).  This
looks like 411 or 420 data, not 422, but we have bigger fish to fry.

I cannot determine if the U V data is aligned adjacently, in
alternating rows, or in squares as described in this Wikipedia
graphical description:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yuv420.svg.
Once I finally determine the structure of the U, V data, I have
several equations to convert from YUV to RGB and I have tried many
ways of combining the UV data with the luminance data of the first 2/3
of the buffer to no avail.  So far I can only display mono-chrome.

If you or others on this list can decode the Android YCbCr_422_SP
data, please post the solution as soon as possible.  Your efforts and
generosity are greatly appreciated.  I am convinced that
representatives from Google/Android and others monitoring this list
know how to do this.  Please share the information.  It is crutial to
our project.  I do not care about the Emulator and it's different
encoding.  I realize that Google is probably waiting to implement a
unified solution and share it through an API update, but we cannot
wait.

 - Thank you, David Manpearl

 I do not use ImageView myself so I cannot really judge your problem. I
 draw my filtered Bitmap to a Canvas in a SurfaceView. No ImageView

[android-developers] OnScreen Keyboard

Hi,

I implemented an OnScreen Keyboard in the Android framework.
It works with all applications and it's possible to answer calls :)
I already uploaded the changes to Android repository, here (
http://review.source.android.com/4801) and here (
http://review.source.android.com/3087). I've tried to upload all the changes
at the same time, but something went wrong :) I don't expect the changes to
be merged in the android official code because they are developing their own
IMF and also because my implementation is very simplistic, it's just to be
able to use Android until the IMF is ready.

I uploaded some screenshots here

[android-developers] How to enable screen transition when launching Activity

2008-11-26 Thread Tomei Ningen


This question was asked before
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/d5baa0831af53d80?q=android+G1+screen+transition#8cb9752ead82d2eb

but I'll ask it again :-)

On earlier Android SDK, when you are in home screen, and you launch an
app (like Contacts), there's an iphone-like transition effect, where
the new app is zoomed out.

On G1 phone, this is disabled (probably due to poor performance). Is
there anyway to turn it back on?

[android-developers] Stock Ticker ?

2008-11-26 Thread Ward Willats


Howdy all.

I need the classic horizontal scrolling ticker for an app I am doing.

I see the Ticker class was removed from the old SDK.

Tried to use TextSwitcher and a TranslateAnimation.

Almost works, but even though the TextViews inside the TextSwitcher 
hold some really long text just fine [1], when translated off stage 
by the animation, there is only enough bitmap  beneath the view to 
cover the width of the view. So the long text is clipped to the view 
width.

Is there a workaround? Or shall I drop down a few abstraction levels 
and roll my own class?

Thanks

-- Ward


1. The TextViews have elipsize=none, scrollHorizontally=true and 
singleLine=true set for this.

But I meeting some problems, I listed in following points:

1. When program performs activity.setContentView(getContentView());
statement in TitleBarTabView.java

2. I dont know why the ApplicationListAdapter didnt show any view in Android
emulator.

3. getPackagePath can be replaced with getPackageCodePath in
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader API?

[android-developers] How to install APK file on Android handset

2008-11-26 Thread Wizzz


hi all,

I just see a very promising app on androidfreeware.org which is call
Xlive, it would be exactly what i need in order to use proper e-mail
application on market place.
But as this app can't be found on Android market, i downloaded it via
the browser of my handset.

But when i clicked on it, it doesn't install any application (it looks
like it opened a compressed file with all sources codes inside).

For information, i duly enabled the function allow install of non
market application

does anyone can tell me how to install an app downloaded outside
Android Market?

thanks for your help

wizzz

[android-developers] android.provider.CallLog.Calls

2008-11-26 Thread Myaz


Hello,

I'm in the planning stages of writing an application that will use the
data stored in the CallLog.Calls class. I was wondering if anybody
could tell me how much data it can store? I ask, because on the
information page for said class (http://code.google.com/android/
reference/android/provider/CallLog.Calls.html) it says information on
RECENT calls. So I assume that either means it will hold a certain
amount of call information or hold call information up until a certain
amount of time.

Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks

Nick

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

2008-11-26 Thread Jérémie Gavard


Thanks for this precision.

Does this issue on emulator planned to be solved soon?

I am trying to develop an application around video streaming.

On Nov 25, 10:58 pm, Dave Sparks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 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.

  Question:
  Does MediaPlayer support the following code.

  mp.setDataSource(rtsp://someRTSPStremingSite.com);

  Does it take the path of the RTSP stream and the Media Player handles
  the connection etc...?
  how would this work?

  Thanks!
  Jona
