[android-developers] Re: Any word on a dev phone for motorola droid?
And what about dev tools, code upgrade from gen1, etc.? It sure would be nice if we could create Android 2.0 AVDs to test against in the emulator at least. I just took a quick look at the Motorola dev site. It had some impressive options for testing on their other phones: a loaner program, a way to test on real phones by a remote connection, and an add on for the Android SDK. It looked like the first two didn't even allow the CLIQ, though, their first Android phone. The last wouldn't work with OpenGL when I tried. Even the basic OpenGL API demos wouldn't work. No sign of anything at all for DROID or Android 2.0 in general.

[android-developers] Re: 1.6: GPS location provider stop unexpectedly (exceeded MIN_FIX_COUNT), bouncing back and forth
I've tested the scenario where a service crosses paths with an app, i.e. both request location provider updates following different levels of location provider availability, as requested by zero and non-zero values of minTime. The mapping of location provider requests appears such that the process with the highest level of GPS receiver availability trumps everything else, for the benefit of the process that operates with minTime values0. In other words, a foreground app receives and keeps at a mimimum the location provider settings it requested. Or a better level yet, if the service keeps the location provider running (through minTime=0). This aspect looks clean after all, good.

[android-developers] App Icon and Label bugs with new HTC Hero phones
I originally titled this with the word quirkiness instead of bugs but after reading the android reference docs, I believe it's a bug. I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words Light Racer directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html android:label A user-readable label for the activity. The label is displayed on- screen when the activity must be represented to the user. It's often displayed along with the activity icon. If this attribute is not set, the label set for the application as a whole is used instead (see the application element's label attribute). The activity's label — whether set here or by the application element — is also the default label for all the activity's intent filters (see the intent-filter element's label attribute). The label should be set as a reference to a string resource, so that it can be localized like other strings in the user interface. However, as a convenience while you're developing the application, it can also be set as a raw string. -- See, it says right there that it's optional and can even be a raw string. That leads me to believe there's a bug with the app name processing on the Hero. I'm going to update my app to try to fix this and recommend that you test yours on hero and fix it as well if you see the issue. Can others report on this please? I'd like confirm my suspicion that the Hero needs a resource string for both the application and launch activity to work correctly. I don't have a Hero so I'm relying on the feedback of others to solve this issue.

[android-developers] Re: App Icon and Label bugs with new HTC Hero phones
Ok so there appears to be different behavior between the home screen and the app tray. I've got screenshots to take a look at - other apps are certainly affected. In the following screenshots, you'll see that from before the reboot, there is the correct icon over Light Racer 3D, but after reboot, it turns into a random icon from the app, which is the pause symbol. Take a look at Astro on these screen shots on the home screen. It starts off normal as well but then after the reboot, turns into a folder icon. Before Reboot - http://tinyurl.com/ygp4ddg After Reboot - http://tinyurl.com/ykpahuh The third screenshot is the app tray, where the app in the lower right- hand corner now says the package name instead of the correct application label and the image is a random one and not the correct app icon. You would have no idea that that app is Light Racer 3D. http://tinyurl.com/yh4vg5e The last screenshot is the affected version of Hero, which appears to be 1.5. I'd like if someone could confirm this bug in Donut as well. http://tinyurl.com/yz674os All of this stuff that I'm showing you works 100% correctly on the Dream, Magic and all emulator versions.

Steff, If you want to ensure device compatibility going forward, I'd recommend using the new GLSurfaceView class which was introduced in Android 1.5.

Do you need that pixel format so that you can draw translucently onto an existing background or is it for some other purpose?

Yes.
For example using your demo:

//Button result=new Button(this);
//result.setText(Hello, world!);
//this just crashes, why?
Button result = (Button)findViewById(R.id.mybutton);

That snippet in isolation means nothing. For starters, my code has
nothing named mybutton in it (IIRC), so I would not expect that to work.
Any child adapters you add to MergeAdapter can be custom adapters using
custom rows, and the views you add to MergeAdapter can be views you
manually inflate from XML via getLayoutInflater().inflate().
Also, would your approach work for a ListActivity?
Yes.

There was not any indication of success or failure. How can anyone check if the app has uploaded or not? Your app should show up in the Android Market on your phone minutes after uploading. When I published an app earlier this year, it showed up almost instantly. Also, in your desktop's Web browser, on your Android Market Developer Console page (http://market.android.com/publish/Home), in the section labeled All Android Market listings, you should see your app listed as published. How else can an app be uploaded so that some one might be able to find it. You can distribute via AndAppStore, or SlideME, or Handango, or any number of other independent markets, or upload it to your own Web site, or upload it to any other Web site. In the latter two cases, make sure the .apk file gets served as the appropriate MIME type (application/vnd.android.package-archive), so the Android Web browser can be used to install the app after downloading. You can also distribute your APK by email, micro SD card, or other means, for the user to put on their SD card, then install via any one of a number of file managers available on the Market. You can also create a QR code to display on your Web site that users with Barcode Scanner or similar software can scan to kick off a download and install, either via a Market URL (I think) or via a download off of a Web site. Why is this so hard? Over 10,000 apps are in the Market, by some published accounts.

[android-developers] Handler behaving strangely after orientation change
Hi, in my app I have a simple clock, the clock is updating every second. I update the clock using a handler - to start ticking I call: handler.postAtTime(clockTask, currentTime + 1000); So after 1000 milliseconds clockTask is run. In clockTask I update the clock and call handler.postAtTime(clockTask, currentTime + 1000); again. When my activity is restarted after orientation change and the clock was ticking, I start the clock in onCreate(). But unfortunately the clock (which is a TextView) doesn't update! clockTask is run correctly every second, it tries to update the clock with correct time, but textViewClock.setText(time) doesn't have any effect. Just before textViewClock.setText(timeString) I print the timeString variable to logcat, and it is working ok. Now if I change screen orientation again, the clock still isn't updating but clockTask seems to be run twice every second (the previous clockTask is still running). If I now finish the activity the clockTask is still running twice every second.

[android-developers] Re: ListView with Streaming Content

No need to call 'invalidate()' on your list-view.
Call 'notifyDatasetChanged()' on your customer adapter instead,
whenever you add or delete elements in your ArrayList or change the

Hi,
I'm now trying this again, based on the SDK Notepadv3 example. This
uses a SimpleCursorAdapter.
I have a background Service that updates the database then calls a
callback in the main activity:
public void serviceUpdate() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Break encapsulation to get at the
SimpleCursorAdapter.
final SimpleCursorAdapter simpleCursorAdapter =
(SimpleCursorAdapter) getListView().getAdapter();
simpleCursorAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
getListView().setSelection(0);
}
});
}
It doesn't redraw the ListView though. It is only redrawn when another
Activity launches which covers it, and gets closed.
I'm now looking for the proper way to do it.

[android-developers] Re: Service stops?
I agree. If you are starting the service by binding to it with the activity, once the activity goes away the bind will go away and the OS will think there is no reason to keep the service up. If the service was started using a pending intent from the activity, the service then is started by the underlying OS and should be allowed to continue while it is downloading. Using stopSelf() at that point is the right way to finish things up. Handlers are good for doing shortterm things in the future, but they are still locally instantiated classes, so if the parent class, I.e. an activity or service, dies or is GC'd, the handler goes away as well, and any posted tasks that are waiting inside that handler will not be executed. To ensure a task is executed regardless, AlarmManager is the way to go as Mark mentioned. AlarmManager is not locally instantiated, but instead is an OS service that is always alive. On Oct 24, 6:34 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: For that kind of thing there should be no need to use bindService at all -- just call startService() for each of the things to download, and have the service use stopSelf(id) so that it is stopped once the last one is done. And there is no reason to delay stopping the service -- starting a service is quite cheap.

[android-developers] Re: Out of surface memory in WVGA
I dig a bit more to find reason of this behavior and in case someone
will have similar problem I'd like to summarize my findings:
This is original allocator dump:
D/Blockx.GameController(900): Surface created
E/SurfaceFlinger(577): not enough memory for layer bitmap size=1642496
(w=480, h=854, stride=480, format=1)
D/MemoryDealer(577): LayerBitmap (0x2e9350, size=8388608)
D/MemoryDealer(577): 0: 002e9388 | 0x | 0x0003E000 | F

D/MemoryDealer(577): size allocated: 6385664 (6236 KB)
Surface views allocates two buffers (layers), if we run in
compatibility mode (upscalling) each surface view allocates 4 buffers
(two for physical window and two for emulated one), so block 1, 2 and
4, 5 are buffers allocated by first surface view, surprisingly
physical buffers are not affected by setPixelFormat and on emulator
allocates RGBA32 pixels (854 * 480 * 4 = 0x191000). Blocks 4 and 5 are
logical buffers in RGB565 format (320 * 569 * 2 = 58E80 aligned
59000).
8MB hardlimit comes from VRamHeap.cpp (video memory heap manager) and
from SurfaceFlinger (odd that this is defined in two different
places):
VRamHeap.cpp:
53 /*
54 * Amount of memory we reserve for surface, per client in PMEM
55 * (PMEM is used for 2D acceleration)
56 * 8 MB of address space per client should be enough.
57 */
58 static const int PMEM_SIZE = int(8 * 1024 * 1024);
SurfaceFlinger.cpp:
370 // create the surface Heap manager, which manages the heaps
371 // (be it in RAM or VRAM) where surfaces are allocated
372 // We give 8 MB per client.
373 mSurfaceHeapManager = new SurfaceHeapManager(this, 8 20);
First limit is applied to PMEM allocator second to standard software
allocator (which I suspect is used on emulator):
119 if (dealer == NULL) {
120 // always try h/w accelerated memory first
121 if (global_pmem_heap) {
122 const spPMemHeap heap(mPMemHeap);
123 if (dealer == NULL heap != NULL) {
124 dealer = new MemoryDealer(
125 heap-createClientHeap(),
126 heap-getAllocator());
127 }
128 }
129 }
130
131 if (dealer == NULL) {
132 // return the ashmem allocator (software rendering)
133 dealer = new MemoryDealer(mClientHeapSize, 0,
SFNativeHeap);
134 }
mPMemHeap is created with PMEM_SIZE limit and mClientHeapSize is
passed as argument to SurfaceHeapManager constructor.
On real device surfaces with GPU memory type should be allocated from
different pool (namly GPU allocators), so answer to my original
question is probably no, on real devices this limit will be different
since surfaces are allocated from different heaps.

Replace the current contents of your Runnable with a call to requery() on
the underlying Cursor. That will trigger an update of the
SimpleCursorAdapter and the corresponding ListView.

[android-developers] Re: Handler behaving strangely after orientation change
Your activity and all its views get recreated during the orientation switch. Your handler is still trying to modify the old activity and view. It also sounds like you're creating a new handler without stopping the old one first, hence you end up with two of them running, and therefore you get twice as many updates.

I update the clock using a handler - to start ticking I call: handler.postAtTime(clockTask, currentTime + 1000); So after 1000 milliseconds clockTask is run. In clockTask I update the clock and call handler.postAtTime(clockTask, currentTime + 1000); again. When my activity is restarted after orientation change and the clock was ticking, I start the clock in onCreate(). But unfortunately the clock (which is a TextView) doesn't update! clockTask is run correctly every second, it tries to update the clock with correct time, but textViewClock.setText(time) doesn't have any effect. Just before textViewClock.setText(timeString) I print the timeString variable to logcat, and it is working ok. Now if I change screen orientation again, the clock still isn't updating but clockTask seems to be run twice every second (the previous clockTask is still running). If I now finish the activity the clockTask is still running twice every second.

Let it run until it hangs.
Then start the ADB debugger and pause all threads. See which threads

[android-developers] Re: how to get the postal addressed in Contacts
I believe you use the contacts as data source for a reciever, so you read from them a bit like reading from an SQLite db, you also need to have the permission in your manifest. I can't remember the exact nature, but it's not quite an API, it's more about how you access data from other applications in android in general. Contacts is a content provider accessed using it's URI: content://contacts/people You can read about content providers in the docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentProvider.html Google for a tutorial and you should find something which details how to read them. Hope that helps. On Oct 24, 1:11 pm, sam hrlixi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys, Does anybody have any sample code to access/get the postal addressed of a contact using Contact API?

[android-developers] Re: Rotating in content gets clipped
You'll need to detect the rotate of the screen, and then when it's rotated adjust your code so that the location of your circles is correct for the rotated view (i.e the canvas is wider than tall now). The usual state of android apps is that they get killed and restarted when the screen rotates, so if you correctly detect the orientation in onCreate() you should be able to know which co-ordinates should be used.

[android-developers] Re: 1.6 vs setPictureSize
Well the auto-scaling definitely worked in 1.5 and stopped working in 1.6. I'm not sure why they'd remove that feature as it requires a lot of hacking using BitmapFactory/Bitmap to get around the fact that you can't load a camera image into an app and manipulate it directly (it has to be subsampled in order for it to load at all). This is really a sort of silly state where you can take a picture but you can't do anything with it. And now 1.6 made that even more painful.

[android-developers] Re: ListView setAdapter in onCreate, getChildCount is zero in onStart?

YourListViewis only for display.
Your ListAdapter (in your case ArrayAdapter) is for getting and
manipulating the actual data. Only it's 'getView' method provides a
bridge between the data and the display-view...
Iterate over the elements in your ArrayAdapter to determine if one
item is selected or not. (Do not iterate over the elements (child-
views) of theListView.)
Each element in your ArrayAdapter should have a way to tell you if it
is selected or not.
Currently you use this ArrayAdapterString. This (String) is not
enough. You need to know if a particular String in this adapter has
been selected or not at some point:
public class SelectableString {
public String soundTableName;
public boolean isSelected;
// Add this method, to avoid overriding getView in your
ArrayAdapter.
public String toString() {
return soundTableName;
}
}
and then have a ArrayAdapterSelectableString instead.
Then register an OnItemSelectedListener (or something similar) and
implement this one to get the proper SelectableString from your
ArrayAdapter and set the SelectableString's 'isSelected' element to
true or false.
Then, at other points in your code, you can just iterate over your
ArrayAdapter and query each SelectableString's 'isSelected' member to
check if it has been selected or not.

Don't use 'getChildCount' and 'getChildAt' method to check your

Shouldn't you query in the onPause, for example.
And also, the positions returned by the method getCheckedItemPositions

list-*view* positions (used in getChildAt) are not the same. You list-
view will never have more children than the ones you can see. And the

My SharedPreferences contains a list of sounds that have been

The View you got from your getView() call is being discarded.
Remember, *ListView* does the caching of rows. Since your requested a row

Add your SimpleCursorAdapter to your ListView, then call setItemChecked()
on the ListView to check your desired row, and see if that works.

Since, it seems, a row view can be assigned to different positions during the filling of the adapter/ListView.

[android-developers] Re: SimpleCursorAdapter.bindView() and Row Views
On Oct 25, 5:50 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: What happened whenbindView() was called, I checked the view's tag for a holder object, and if there was one I left it alone. Since, it seems, a row view can be assigned to different positions during the filling of the adapter/ListView. Absolutely. Otherwise, scrolling through 1,000 items in a list would result in 1,000 rows being created. Understood. It's just that I was surprised that this would happen while the ListView is being initially filled (also, since in this case it's short enough to fit within the screen), and there is no obvious (to me!) reason why a row view would be acted upon this way in this circumstance. This means I have to update the view holder, or create a new one, with the most current position data in every call tobindView(). No, you don't -- you just have to write a view holder that does not track its position. It may depend on how the holder is used, but it's not entirely relevant -- my choice of words above wasn't the best. From within the onClick() for a button on a particular row, I need to find another row and change it. I needed some way to find it. When I still had the problem, I kept track of the view I would eventually alter in a class variable. From there I could pull out the tag and get the data I needed, including the row's position. What finally messed me up is that, when presented with a filled tag in the view presented by bindView(), I *assumed* the position and other data I had put into the holder earlier was still valid. I should have done a cursor.getPosition (), and gone on from there to properly refresh the data within the holder. Because of this mistake, even the logcat output I included earlier was terribly misleading. http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdfcontains an excerpt from one of my books that demonstrates the technique. I did refer to an earlier tutorial of yours to learn the technique, though not this update.

[android-developers] Re: Any word on a dev phone for motorola droid?
If past experience is any indication, there are more areas of concern: sensors, camera preview come to mind. I suppose everybody agrees that a big inventory of apps are a big win- win for everybody involved (although a case could be made that many of the devs that put in the effort and investment upfront start finding out that their cut of happiness is rather small). Thus far we have not heard that independent devs had an opportunity to test out their stuffs on the Motorola/Verizon Droid, under NDA of course. I am sure a campaign by Verizon/Motorola that involved independent devs would have long leaked, so I assume Verizon's Droid will hit the dev community cold. Supposedly with Android 2.0, even. If this was all the case, wallpapers and ringtones aside, I am sure plenty of apps will be borked, until everybody had a chance to catch up. No question there will be a barrage of snotty comments in the Android Market for those that didn't stay on their toes to black out Verizon on the Market Publishing site, and I am sure Apple, Nokia and others won't be far behind to add insult to injury. Would that actually be a good thing? Perhaps, just to shake things up. At this point, there doesn't seem to be much acknowledgment by the higher powers that independent devs aren't getting an opportunity to actively participate in the development and launch of a new product or SDK release in a way that allows them to make apps available on day one, and in a way that's commensurate with the earnings potential of apps that the parties involved, Google, carriers, manufacturers, wish to leverage into unit sales. To make clear text out of this, going back to the OP's question: Dev phones by the various manufacturers will have to be made available at a considerable discount, or we can say goodbye to rich, meaningful apps, in all the beautiful variety, at least.

[android-developers] How can I get setStreetView(true) to display blue lines the first time? invalidate() isn't working
Using SDK 1.6. I have a simple MapView that I'd like to set street view on. I setup a button in my application, and an onClick handler to do mapView.setStreetView(true); I then call mapView.invalidate(); because I believe this is how to update the view to get the blue outlines. When I click on the Street button in my app, I can see in debugger that the setStreetView(true) is being called, but the display does not update. The second time I click on the Street view button, it goes through my code again, and this time the display changes and I get the blue outlines on the streets. Why isn't this occurring the first time I click on the button? After clicking the Street button once, if I then click on the map itself, then it draws the blue lines. I tried postInvalidate() also but got the same result, plus I didn't think that postInvalidate() was the appropriate method to call anyway. I read a posting online that said I should move the map by a pixel to get it to redraw itself. That doesn't seem right, unless there's a problem with setStreetView that hasn't been fixed yet. I checked the Issues list but didn't see anything. Any advice please? - dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Why a single String.format reduce the FPS from 35 to 25 ?
You don't want to use String.format() if performance is an issue.
String.format() internally creates a new Formatter every time, which
in turn pulls in all kinds of localization stuff.
Instead, create a Formatter yourself (once), and then reuse it for all
your string formatting needs.

[android-developers] Using Notifications for new Activities in existing tasks
I can make a notification with a pending intent and extra data spawn a new task with a new activity just fine. What I am required to do is make it so clicking the notification will bring up a new activity in an existing task by placing the activity next in the stack if an existing task that shares its affinity in the same package. IE TASK: A B C Clicking a Notification creates an activity B so now Task: A B C B However as long as the Task exists the notification will only make the task come to the top with C showing. Now, this is as per documentation when an Intent has FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK which is what all intents coming from a service have, like it or not, because it isn't part of an activities context. At the very least I would expect refocus to the Task to trigger the onNewIntent for the current running activity or pass the intent to the Application context, but it does not so all new intent data is completely lost. Are my hands tied in this and I cannot use a notification to create a new activity in an existing task? The only solution that sorta gives me what I am looking for is adding the flag that allows creating of multiple instances, but that is not really what I'm looking for! Are there any other suggestions how I can get new extra data associated with a pending intent inside of a notification handed off to an existing task if it already exists before someone clicks the notification?
