[android-developers] Re: What is the difference between onOptionsItemSelected and onMenuItemSelected?
Just use onOptionsItemSelected if you just want to react on the panel menu item clicks. onMenuItemSelected seems to always be called with the featureID FEATURE_OPTIONS_PANEL, the context menu is handled in another way. So overriding onOptionsItemSelected is simplier. onOptionsItemSelected must have been created for convenience purpose (or for the adapter design pattern purpose). 2008/12/1 monkeypipi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Guillaume. onMenuItemSelected() is also implemented in Activity class, right? In the notepad tutorials, both methods appeared. Exercise 1 uses the onOptionsItemSelected, while Exe 2 uses onMenuItemSelected. I am not quite understand how to get the featurID and pass it to onMenuItemSelected(). On Nov 29, 9:29 pm, Guillaume Perrot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: onMenuItemSelected comes from the Window.Callback class. onOptionsItemSelected is introduced by the Activity class (which implements Window.Callback) and is called by the implementation of onMenuItemSelected. So the difference is the abstracting level. Copied from doc: Default implementation of onMenuItemSelected(int, MenuItem) for activities. This calls through to the new onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem) method for the FEATURE_OPTIONS_PANEL panel, so that subclasses of Activity don't need to deal with feature codes.

[android-developers] Is it possible to start an remote activity which is loaded by classLoader
Hello,everyone. I have a question: I can get an Activity class by classLoader which can't be declared in the local Manifest.xml.I want to start the activity in this way: Intent intent = new Intent(this, xxx.class);(xxx.class is the remote activity which loaded by classLoader) startActivity(intent); But it can't make it work well,because the activity is not declared in local AndroidManifest.xml.

[android-developers] Re: Android on iPhone
Robert Green wrote: [...] 1) Like Romain said - Android doesn't need multiple cores nor does the G1 have them. The G1 has a multicore CPU in that it contains a discrete CPU and GPU but not 2 CPU cores. The iPhone has 1 ARM CPU (same arch as G1) and 1 discrete GPU. People may be being confused by the fact that the G1 is kind of phone normally called a *two-chip* phone --- what this means is that there are two CPU cores, one of which runs the applications, and one of which runs the mobile radio stack. (Even though they'll be on the same piece of silicon.) This is different from *one-chip* phones, where the same CPU runs both the applications and the radio stack. Most Linux phones are two-chip systems because Linux doesn't get on well with real-time work, and mobile radio stuff is about as real-time as it gets. On the G1, the MSM7201A is a multicore CPU combining: - an ARM11 core - an ARM9 core - a QDSP4000 core - (possibly a QDSP5000 core as well, the spec sheet is unclear whether you get both this and the QDSP4000) - (possibly a 3D acceleration engine; again, the spec sheet is unclear about whether this is a separate module or just done by the DSP. A lot of these mobile processors just bolt on a PowerVR core for the 3D acceleration) So it might be technically accurate to call the MSM7201A a *five* core CPU. Regardless, Linux only sees one core, the ARM11. The radio stack runs its own specialised OS on the ARM9. The DSPs will run *another* tiny OS to service requests from the other processors. If there is a separate 3D accelerator it's probably not programmable, which means it's probably not correct to refer to it as a GPU. And all the processors will share silicon and physical resources in a deeply incestuous manner, so you may not be able to draw hard dividing lines between them the way you can with PC hardware. So the G1 could plausibly be described as a one-core two-core two-chip single chip device. If you're used to PCs, the mobile world may seem a little odd. And believe it or not, this is pretty *standard* for a smartphone processor. (Incidentally, if anyone can point me at a real datasheet for the MSM7201A, I'd be interested to see it. All I can find are marketing puff pieces.) -- David Given [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] (Service == Process)?
Hi guys, I am a little confused about the difference between services and processes in Android. From what I understood: - each package may run as one process - therefore an activity is a process - a service runs in the main thread of an activity (therefore it needs to run in the same process) - but from what I know a service uses another address space than the hosting activity - because I don't know of another way in Linux to create a new virtual memory space than by using a new process I assume, that a service is actually a new process - how are AIDL IPC calls synchronized when they are different processes?

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences problem
Is there an exception thrown if the ... next time it is read it is unable to parse the truncated file.?

On Dec 1, 12:41 am, Dianne Hackborn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It means multiple processes, as per: http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html What may be happening is that you are writing the new shared preferences at the same time as the system kills the process, so the file write is not completed, and the next time it is read it is unable to parse the truncated file. So you should only write the shared preferences at a time when you know the system is keeping your application around -- in onReceiveIntent(), a service, as part of the activity lifecycle, etc. On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 9:13 PM, joshv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What exactly do the docs mean when they say 'multiple processes'.

My app uses threads to keep the UI responsive, and I just figured I had some sort of synchronization issue with saving preferences. But no, I've locked down the critical sections with synchronized blocks and still, very rarely, my app will lose it's preferences. It usually seems to happen when the app is killed by the OS, or by the debugger, normal resume/pause events never result in loosing the preferences. But again it's intermittent.

[android-developers] unknown socket error -1
1. Can anyone point me to simple TCP client/server program on android ?? 2. Whenever i try to create socket with port and IPaddress i get IOException which points to a SocketException which gives a message unknown socket error -1 , it would be nice if someone could tell the root cause for this problem. i guess this is something to do with TCP settings of emulator. 3. Do we need to have any configuration changes to Emulator or androidmanifest.xml file to eliminate this problem ?

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences problem
Ok, then SharePreferences should be ok in multi-threaded applications. Regarding process death and preferences, I thought the same thing so I scaled back my persistence code to only save preferences in an onPause (). It was my understanding that even when a task is killed, the onPause is called before the process is terminated - is that not the case? Can the process be killed in the middle of the onPause() processing? Perhaps this is a debugger only phenomenon? On Nov 30, 11:41 pm, Dianne Hackborn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It means multiple processes, as per: http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html What may be happening is that you are writing the new shared preferences at the same time as the system kills the process, so the file write is not completed, and the next time it is read it is unable to parse the truncated file. So you should only write the shared preferences at a time when you know the system is keeping your application around -- in onReceiveIntent(), a service, as part of the activity lifecycle, etc. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Besides, there are two default style attributes are available: android.R.attr.windowTitleStyle and android.R.attr.windowTitleBackgroundStyle.

[android-developers] Re: Starting new Activity vs. setContentPane(newView)
I'm also not sold on the new Activity for each new screen framework. Unless your new screen is very generic and can be reused by other applications (I think this is a very very small minority of all screens) you are better off using setContentView and/or ViewFlippers. I first went down the road of new activity for new screens as per Notepad example but very soon i had a spaghetti of activities - had to press Back button 10 times to leave my application. Surely that's not a preferred way to write anything. I scrapped new activity approach for ViewFlippers and setting contents and couldn't be happier.

For the example you gave, editing a note in a separate text field, ACTION_EDIT with a URI for the note text would allow the user to drop in a new text editor application and use it to edit notes from your application. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Theme setting for all applications

[android-developers] Re: Android Camera Preview Filter Using Camera.PreviewCallback.onPreviewFrame
The G1 preview format is YUV 420 semi-planar (U and V are subsampled by 2 in both X and Y). The Y plane is first, followed by UV pairs - I believe the U sample comes first in the pair. Technically it's YCbCr 420 semi-planar, but very few people use that term. On Nov 26, 6:27 pm, dmanpearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Blindfold, Thanks for your help.

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.

[android-developers] Re: How to enable screen transition when launching Activity
A relevant question might be: if an external developer contributed high-quality inter-activity transition code to the open source Android codebase, would it be likely to be accepted? I do not believe that such a feature is covered by any patents, but it may be relevant that Google CEO Eric Schmidt is reportedly good friends with Apple CEO Steve Jobs, and Schmidt sits on Apple's board. It does not seem totally out of the question that these relationships would result in certain features being missing from Android for reasons which are not strictly in the interests of people using the Android platform.

[android-developers] How to use SSL23 with HttpsURLConnection ?
Hello I'm willing to connect to a HTTPS server who only operates with the SSLv23 protocol. But, using Android 1.0 SDK, all attempt to connect to the server using HttpsURLConnection fails with the following exception (see at the end of this message for complete trackback): 12-01 11:54:14.140: WARN/System.err(174): java.io.IOException: SSL handshake failure: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error 12-01 11:54:14.140: WARN/System.err(174): error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol (extlibs/ openssl-0.9.8h/ssl/s23_clnt.c:585 0xaf58a238:0x) If I try with SSLContext, the exception is thrown exactly at the moment getInstance is called with the following statements: SSLContext.getInstance(SSL); SSLContext.getInstance(SSLv23); SSLContext.getInstance(SSL23); So, what I understand from the error message, is that SSL algorithm is not supported by the SSLContext object. Maybe should I import a special package, or something like this, but I don't know what exactly. Searching on forum didn't helped me a lot, there is no a clear solution, or if there is, I'll be please to try them. I've also tried several other approches, trying to force using TLS with SSLContext.getInstance(TLS) but the server seems to really want SSL, the subsequent connect fails with the abrove exception. I'm not a SSL specialist, and never used it with Java, so I might not do the right thing, but I can't know what. So far I'm using a webbrowser to go to this Url, but launching a webbrowser activity from a service is not exactly the most beautiful code I ever did. I also tryed with a hidden webview, but this doesn't cross my proxy, althrought all HttpURLConnection and webbrowser do go throught the proxy correctly (I don't think my problem is due to the proxy configuration, because of the exception on the very call of SSLContext.getInstance).

Is it possible to remove files of other application? ___ 好玩贺卡等你发，邮箱贺卡全新上线！ http://card.mail.cn.yahoo.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: mp3s for games?
Decoding a single MP3 for a background audio track is not too bad. On the G1, OGG is a better format, less memory overhead and startup latency, plus you get seamless looping which MP3 does not do. I don't recommend using compressed audio like MP3 or OGG if you have lots of sound effects, because of the CPU overhead in decompressing them.

[android-developers] Re: Guitar Tuner
I think it would be ok if all you wanted is an app that can play EADGBE tones. Just make 6 media players, set them to loop and have the UI control starting and stopping them. If you want a tuner that can listen to the guitar and display the tuning like a real guitar tuner does, that will not be possible because the android API does not currently have real-time sound input processing.

[android-developers] Re: Problems with ListView using buttons on each row
For your reference, one way to work around this constraint of Android ListView is to redirect an onClick event on a listview rwo to the button on the row by means of calling performClick() in the onClick() of the GetView() of the listview adapter class. On Nov 29, 7:52 am, Stefan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an issue with a list view that has buttons (more precisely ImageButton) on each row. (The list view is similar to the one used in the Amazon MP3 application included in the G1 where you can see the song/album name and press a button with the price to purchase it.) I need to be able to perform 2 actions for each row - one when you click on the row and different when you click on the row's button. Adding the button itself to the row and handling the button clicks works fine, the problem is that for every row that has a button, you can't click on the row itself anymore. You can click on the row's button, but clicking on the rest of the row does not generate ItemClick event for that row in the list view. You can select the row using the navigation keys and press Enter and that correctly generates the ItemClick even on the row, but clicking on the row itself does nothing. If I hide the buttons on some of the rows, the row without a button clicking starts to work correctly, but the rows with buttons still don't work. It seems like the existence of a button on the row renders the row itself unclickable. Oddly enough, if you use a RatingBar on the row instead of the Button you can click on both the row and the rating bar independently and they all work correctly as expected. Does anyone know why would the Button behave differently than the RatingBar and what is the correct way to make both the button and row be independently clickable.

You can modify any of the resources however you want if you are rebuilding the system. These will be used without having to do anything. Note that we are calling this skinning and generally does NOT involve modifying theme resources; theme resources are used by applications to specify the specific theme they want (dark background, light background, dialog, etc).

[android-developers] Re: How to draw an image on top of another drawable?
Yeah you can't do that even with xml when the program was written it was scripted somewhere in there so its kinda like blocking and other abnormal adjustments to itself from and user or program exe.

It was my understanding that even when a task is killed, the onPause is called before the process is terminated - is that not the case? Can the process be killed in the middle of the onPause() processing? Perhaps this is a debugger only phenomenon? There is nothing called before the process is terminated, if you are thinking of it as the system thinks it needs to kill something, so politely asks it to get ready and then kills it. What actually happens it that onPause is called when the system is going to put the process in a background state, and from there at whatever point the system needs to get rid of the process it will just kill it, no questions asked. While onPause() is running, the process is in a foreground state, so it will not be killed unless the system is so low on memory it needs to kill that process to continue to have memory for the core system processes... which should only happen if the app is just using all of the available memory so that not even background things can run. Basically never for non-buggy apps. However, your process can get killed if you are installing an update to it, because the first thing the system does is cleanup and kill all existing code of the process before installing the update. We should probably do something to make this a little more clean for users installing updates. And this same thing happens every time you run your app from eclipse, since all it is really doing is telling the system to update to your current version of the app. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.

[android-developers] Re: When an app needs Google account credentials...
The first option (Client Login API) still requires your app to get the google userid and password from the user. The second option (OAuth/ AuthSub) only applies to web apps (although I suppose you could launch a browser session). What would be real nice from my standpoint would be some way to store/retrieve data on google from your android app, and then access it from a web app using OAuth. This would make it very simple to sync data between the android app and web app without the user having to set up anything on the android side of things.

[android-developers] Issues while using the VideoView
Hi, 1. I have used the following code related to VideoView. mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideoview); mVideoView.setVideoPath(strVideoURL); mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); This code is called from OnCreate as well as from a button click event. I do not want the video to start playing until user clicks on the play button. But, in this case, when the code is executed from OnCreate, the video starts automatically. Once we stop the video from playing and then click on a button, the video does not start on its own. 2. As a result of the above code, the media controller appers near the bottom of the screen whereas, the VideoView is placed near the top of the screen. Is there any way to get the mediaplayer on top of the VideoView? 3. Is there a way to make the media controller look smaller? 4. What is the best way to show a still alternate image (or the first frame of the video if possible) when the video is not playing? I get a black rectangle when the video is not playing (after the above code statements are executed from a button click event).

[android-developers] Re: RatingBar ratingBarStyleSmall
When using the rating bar do you have to register certain sites for it to rate or is it automatic? And i think you need a code form Google to get it on a website that you want and i thought it rates by search engine standards! Xavier A.

I need the RatingBar to be small and read-only. I have looked in the R.attr class and there seems to be a ratingBarStyleSmall attribute. I have no idea how to set this attribute. It's a style, not an attribute, despite appearing in R.attr. Try adding style=?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall to your RatingBar in the XML.

[android-developers] Re: GridView
Where are you trying to stretch this? I believe you can if you are talking about android i can go see for you. Xavier A.

What I'm trying to do is to create a screen with a limited number of items (6). I need exactly 2 columns and 3 rows (or 3x2 in landscape mode) to fill all the screen. In a grid view I can control columns number, and columns stretching mode, but not rows. I'm looking into overriding AbsListView.generateLayoutParams() method, but want to ask first. Probably, there is some simpler way available. Thank you in advance. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
