I assume you want a modal dialog. I'm pretty sure  blocking the UI thread is
going about this wrong. For example, consider the Activity lifecycle
callbacks which would be called when another Activity or Application becomes
visible.

Here's an explanation I found by googling for android modal dialog:

Re: [android-developers] Problem while sending unicode character via SMS

I believe SMS does support UTF-16 encoding. I would suggest analyzing the
actual bits of the improperly received message. If you are getting spaces
(0x20), then likely you've forced 7-bit-only encoding in your code. A code
or data sample would be helpful.

 As we already know by now the HTC Hero supports Flash in the browser,
 and by double tapping on Flash content it will be played in full screen

 You will note that this says HTC Hero. The HTC Hero is a device, for
 which HTC licensed a Flash (Lite) implementation.
 
 But again like I stated before, after downloading the latest source
 code, building it, flashing it to my development phone and flash still
 not working I am having my doubts (and greatly wondering how this guy
 said it is working).
 
 That is because he is referring to the HTC Hero.
 
 Do you know if this is even somewhat possible (maybe a FlashLite plugin
 I am missing or something?).
 
 This presumably will work on an HTC Hero -- I haven't tried it. It will
 not work on devices that did not license Flash (Lite) from Adobe. It
 most definitely will not work from the Android open source tree, because
 Flash is not open source.

That's possible. It reportedly uses ActionScript 2.0, which I

Re: [android-developers] Re: Get body movement (e.g. turn around)

It's doubtful you can literally tell if the person has turned around. I
think you're trying to infer that, by assuming the person is holding the
device a certain way in relation to his or her body..

Perhaps by that assumption, the device moves in a 360° arc through space,
not on an axis intersecting the device (simple bearing). It should be
possible to track the position of the device through the arc via the
accelerometer and infer the body movement you are trying to figure out.

[android-developers] Re: Adding contacts to a custom account

2009-12-29 Thread sazilla

Hi Vadim,

Actually for what I've understood the custom mime type can be used to
specify how to render the custom fields when you view the contact not
while you edit it. I've found a bug in the Contacts application
(around line 178):
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Contacts.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/contacts/model/Sources.java;h=f664fb1d13d87f5efca857872da544848ac473b9;hb=HEAD

The ExternalSource component should be able to read the xml file you
mentioned above and render it in the contacts editing screen, but...
it doesn't.

The Facebook application, for example, defines a custom filed (the FB
profile) in the contacts.xml file, and it i rendered correctly when
you view a FB contact, but the FB account in Android is a read only
account, it means that in any case you cannot create/edit contacts
from android.

Up to now I found only a workaroun, filtering the intent launched
everytime a contact must be created/edited and show a custom contacts
edit screen, for our contacts account, or forward the request to the
default contacts app if the contact belongs to a different account.

Let me know if you've found any other workaround.

Thank you

Carlo

On Dec 23, 3:16 pm, Vadim Vohmjanin vadim...@gmail.com wrote:
I have found something...

For that custom Data row to appear in the Contacts app, you'll need to
associate your custom MIME-type with XML that describes how to render
the UI. The only current way of doing this is to define a sync
adapter service and add meta-data definition inside, something
like this:

meta-data android:name=android.provider.CONTACTS_STRUCTURE
android:resource=@xml/contacts /

So you have 2 metas there, one is for sync adapter.

Then define the contacts XML inside your app ./res/xml/contacts.xml:

--snip--
ContactsSource xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android;
ContactsDataKind
android:mimeType=vnd.com.example.voip.cursor.item/phone_v2
android:icon=@drawable/icon
android:summaryColumn=data2
android:detailColumn=data3 /
/ContactsSource

I have tried this, but i didn't get it working. It sure effects in
some way. But i don't get desirable result.

Any help pls?

I'm doing the research now. If you have found how to do it, please

I also wanted to know, what exactly way do you create custom account?
As i understood account creation currently *requires* a developer to
implement a
service that extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter and publishes the
correct intent in
its manifest.
When this is not the case, the Accounts Sync settings does not
handle the case
where this is not defined and causes the NPE in the core process that
causes the
reboot.
It is recommended that this defect be patch and/or the documentation
updated to include the
proper procedures and requirements for creation of an account in
Android.

Also account creation requires of the authenticator to be implemented
for the account type.
In order to be an authenticator developer must extend
AbstractAccountAuthenticator class, provider implementations for the
abstract methods and write a service that returns implemented
AccountAuthenticator.

Or there is more simple way to create a custom account for Contacts?

My question is, if I don't want to add custom contacts fields for my

[android-developers] Re: BitmapDrawable with unexpected size in Android 2.0.1 WVA854

2009-12-29 Thread Streets Of Boston

I had something similar. But Android wasn't resizing the bitmap.

Doing bitmapDrawable.getBitmap().getWidth() and
bitmapDrawable.getBitmap().getHeight() returned the expected values
(in your case those would be 480 and 320). However, i loaded the
bitmap seperately and then wrapped it within a BitmapDrawable. Still,
the bitmapDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth/Height returned these scaled
values (320 x 213 in your case).

 However, when I create a BitmapDrawable through Drawable.createFromPath
 (), the resulting BitmapDrawable has the following values:

 mBitmapWidth = 320
 mBitmapHeight = 213
 mTargetDensity = 160

 The manifest includes the following configuration:

     uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=4 /

     supports-screens
         android:largeScreens=true
         android:normalScreens=true
         android:smallScreens=true

 Apparently Android is resizing the bitmap. What could be the cause of
 this behavior? How can I avoid it?

Your suggestion sounds good. But I haven't been able to figure out how

Thanks,

 Although I use ListView a lot it has always been a little confusing to
 understand how it manages its views returned from BaseAdapter.getView
 ().

 If you know you have just the six list rows, which is not a lot, then
 every time BaseAdapter.getView() is called create the view hierarchy,
 with the button in each row, and return it.

 Of course for each button attach a listener with setOnClickListener
 and that listener will get called whenever the button is clicked/
 touched. You can use the tag field of the button view to help you
 determine at click time which button has been clicked.

 Or you can instantiate a separate listener for each button and set
 something in the listener class to is the view clicked.

 Make the listener a private class under the containing Activity and it
 can easily get at all the state contained in the Activity. Or make the
 Activity an implementer of View.OnClickListener and just pass
 Activity.this to setOnClickListener.

 In all cases onClick(View v) will be called whenever the button is
 clicked/touched.

 Hope this helps…

[android-developers] Trying to get rid of my last few Long calculations in my game and completely turn it into FP format. System.currentTimeMillis() giving me a headache.

2009-12-29 Thread Mika

Like the topic of the thread says. In my game I would like to turn all
the calculations into FP format. I can eliminate pretty much
everything else but I still need to do the the following calculation
in long format.

Code:
long t = this.lastUpdateTime - System.currentTimeMillis();


The value I get from this is the time passed since last frame, which
is like.. two digit millisecond value, which naturally is more than
good for FP stuff. After that calculation I turn the resulting value
into FP integer and use it with the rest of my calculations but I'd
like to get rid of that long calculation too. Any ideas how to go
around this to do it in FP format?

I mean, I'm pretty sure I cannot just go and do a normal conversion to
FP format in this style:
Code:
int fpT = t * (116);

because there is always the change that it'll overflow and as the
numbers that System.currentTimeMillis() give out are BIG.

So any advice how to keep the same accuracy of the timer but get rid
of the long calculation and have it replaced with nice and fast FP
calculation. Any advices on how to trim down the
System.currentTimeMillis() or what ever to get around this are greatly
appreciated.

Cheers guys.

That is the wrong direction to be going. Floating-point calculations are
awful on mobile devices, since they usually lack floating-point
hardware. Your game will perform better if you eliminate as many
floating-point calculations as possible, replacing them with fixed-point
equivalents.

Using the (magnetic) compass would require less coding, I suppose. However,
is it available on all your target devices and is it accurate enough?

I should defer to someone who's actually used the compass sensor. In the
meantime, you could put together a test app in just a few minutes. You could
base it on the following accelerometer test code:

  You guys are funny. Android Market on HTC Tattoo does not show
  applications that do not implicitly declare that they support its
  screen. It definitely has nothing to do with CAMERA permission or
  whatsoever

 This is false. As previously stated, *if* the app requires the
 android.permission.CAMERA manifest, it *must* state that it does not
 require autofocus in uses-feature in order to show on Tattoo. This
 is because the camera permission, if granted, implies access to an
 autofocus camera. The request must be modified to not require
 autofocus with uses-feature. Admittedly this is not as developer-
 friendly as it could be, its the result of a lack of foresight in our
 original design.

 A separate issue is that apps that do not explicitly support

 the reason why you can 't see yourappon HTC Hero/Eris or any other

 It appears that the AudioTrack finishes playing what's in the buffer

 are so many audio applications out there.

I don't think that your question relates to AudioTrack in particular, but to
dealing with audio buffers in general, and especially when these buffers are too
large.

On almost any platform and API I can think of, if the audio buffer is large then
you have to deal with a rather noticeable latency. And I think that your problem
is indeed about latency.

Instead of starting/stopping the AudioTrack as you do, which is a quite heavy
operation (thread, locks, IPC, etc..), I would first recommend that you fill the
buffer with zeros whenever sound has to stop.

But if your buffer is large then there will be a noticeable delay between the
moment you actually write zeros and the moment the sound becomes silent (yet,
that should be faster than actually calling play() or stop()).

For instance, I'm quite successfully using AudioTrack with a buffer size of 4096
frames, which at 22050Hz, induces (at least) a 185ms delay. That is quite a lot
IMO, and I don't think you can reduce that in Android's current state. I would
even say than 8092 frames seems a safer choice.

But many audio applications out there know how to deal with a such latency, even
if it is about hundreds of milliseconds. It is not always possible, but in some
case it is, especially if you can:

(1) measure the output latency
(2) anticipate audio output events

So that you start playing sounds (or silence) in advance, taking the latency
into account.

You can approximate (1) with: latency = bufferSize / sampleRate

Whether (2) is possible or not depends on you app. If it isn't and that
200-400ms latency is too much for you then I recommend that you star the
following issue to encourage Google to address it as soon as possible:

2009-12-29 Thread a1

Well, yes, you can simply shift to fixed since t is difference which I
should be around 20.
But what's the point? I'm using floating point exclusively for
calculations, and really do
not have problems with performance. If you do not perform heavy
calculations it doesn't matter,
and if you do interpreter overhead will kill your performance anyway.

Re: [android-developers] No Adobe Flash support for Eclair!?!

2009-12-29 Thread chris harper

Sena - I picked up a book on writing Flash content for mobile devices and
from I understand from the book is that FlashLite is based off of Flash 9.
They are essentially the same thing. Where anything written for Flash 9
(with actionscript 2) can be run in FlashLite. That is my current
understanding between the two. There might be minor differences.I did flash
my HTC HERO about a month ago and that thought did cross my mind that maybe
the FlashLite got messed up in the process. So my current thought process is
to FLASH HTC's newest ROM onto my Hero:

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=671news_id=254

I think this will be my best bet for getting the most updated Flash from HTC
onto my HERO and (hopefully if the moons align) be able to write a little
WebView client to read .swf files.

I didn't mention that I do have an HTC Hero (as well as my android

I also tried doing the WebView as stated in the article testing on this
device and also got the same result as my android development phone when
trying to view a .swf (a screen full of random characters).

From what you told me it sounds like I need to go down the road of
continuing to test my WebView stub on my HTC Hero and maybe looking into why
my flashlite plugin doesn't seem to be working with my WebView stub code?

Does that sound about right to you Mark?

The very first sentence of that post:

As we already know by now the HTC Hero supports Flash in the browser,
and by double tapping on Flash content it will be played in full screen
mode.

You will note that this says HTC Hero. The HTC Hero is a device, for
which HTC licensed a Flash (Lite) implementation.

But again like I stated before, after downloading the latest source
code, building it, flashing it to my development phone and flash still
not working I am having my doubts (and greatly wondering how this guy
said it is working).

That is because he is referring to the HTC Hero.

Do you know if this is even somewhat possible (maybe a FlashLite plugin
I am missing or something?).

This presumably will work on an HTC Hero -- I haven't tried it. It will
not work on devices that did not license Flash (Lite) from Adobe. It
most definitely will not work from the Android open source tree, because
Flash is not open source.

Thanks Olivier,

It is very helpful Olivier, I am just curious about MP3 players, They
are able to stop playing with a very small latency. It seems like they
would have to repeatedly write into a very small buffer. Do you think
that is the case?

My scenario is very similar to the MP3 players. I don’t know when the
stop action is going to take place so writing zeros might not work. So
the only solution is to use small buffer. I will see how it goes.

[android-developers] AES decryption is slow....

2009-12-29 Thread sdphil

hi,

I am trying to do AES decryption like this --

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
cipher.update(encryBytes, 0, encrByteCount);

And it is taking me about 2.5+ seconds to run just the cipher.update
(i.e. I excluded the init and getInstance() calls) for 65KB of data --
which seems way too long.

What this translates to (roughly) 60 seconds for a 1.5MB file.  Which
is uber slow.

I *am* actually seeing 60 or so seconds when I try to decrypt that big
of a file (looping through and feeding buffers).

Does anybody know why AES decryption is so slow on Android?  A co-
worker is seeing times around 10 seconds for the same file on a RIM
device.

tia.

I ended up using a shared volatile variable that is check when I'm
doing this that take alot of time in the background thread, if it's
false the thread will exit accordingly.  Also in my app's onStop()
method I make sure to check to see if the thread is running and stop
it if it is.

 Your thread only is interrupted if the thread is doing I/O or is in a
 wait-state (having called wait() on Object).

 If you want to have background threads that do one-shot jobs and then
 wait, use AsyncTask or the java.util.concurrent's ExecutorService .

 And, you'd better read up on concurrent programming a little :-) It
 can be tricky.

[android-developers] Re: AES decryption is slow....

2009-12-29 Thread sdphil

interestingly enough, on a device T-Mobile G2, things are fast - like
on the order that I would expect - 10 to 15 seconds.  so i guess this
is less important, however, it's still troubling that it's so slow on
the simulator.

 hi,

 I am trying to do AES decryption like this --

 Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding);
 cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, aesKey);
 cipher.update(encryBytes, 0, encrByteCount);

 And it is taking me about 2.5+ seconds to run just the cipher.update
 (i.e. I excluded the init and getInstance() calls) for 65KB of data --
 which seems way too long.

 What this translates to (roughly) 60 seconds for a 1.5MB file.  Which
 is uber slow.

 I *am* actually seeing 60 or so seconds when I try to decrypt that big
 of a file (looping through and feeding buffers).

 Does anybody know why AES decryption is so slow on Android?  A co-
 worker is seeing times around 10 seconds for the same file on a RIM
 device.

[android-developers] Re: Trying to get rid of my last few Long calculations in my game and completely turn it into FP format. System.currentTimeMillis() giving me a headache.

2009-12-29 Thread Lance Nanek

Fixed point can still fit a good 30 seconds or so worth of whole
milliseconds, can't it? Are you ever going to have updates more than
30 seconds apart?

Even if you are, you can just convert to seconds. Use the integer
representing portion of the fixed point from 116 up for whole
seconds. Use the fraction representing portion below that for the
remainder.

That said, I'm working on a game where all the values passed to OpenGL
are fixed point and most of the calculations are as well. I just pass
the time delta around as a non-fixed point integer, however.

It's never a fraction and never passed to OpenGL directly, so you
aren't forced to convert it. The various speed constants in the game
take into account that it is much smaller than if it were shifted into
fixed point is all.

By the way, you may want to use SystemClock.uptimeMillis() instead of
System.currentTimeMillis(). System.currentTimeMillis() is documented
as jumping around occasionally:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/SystemClock.html

On Dec 29, 10:25 am, Mika mts...@googlemail.com wrote:
 Like the topic of the thread says. In my game I would like to turn all
 the calculations into FP format. I can eliminate pretty much
 everything else but I still need to do the the following calculation
 in long format.

 Code:
 long t = this.lastUpdateTime - System.currentTimeMillis();

 The value I get from this is the time passed since last frame, which
 is like.. two digit millisecond value, which naturally is more than
 good for FP stuff. After that calculation I turn the resulting value
 into FP integer and use it with the rest of my calculations but I'd
 like to get rid of that long calculation too. Any ideas how to go
 around this to do it in FP format?

 I mean, I'm pretty sure I cannot just go and do a normal conversion to
 FP format in this style:
 Code:
 int fpT = t * (116);

 because there is always the change that it'll overflow and as the
 numbers that System.currentTimeMillis() give out are BIG.

 So any advice how to keep the same accuracy of the timer but get rid
 of the long calculation and have it replaced with nice and fast FP
 calculation. Any advices on how to trim down the
 System.currentTimeMillis() or what ever to get around this are greatly
 appreciated.

 Cheers guys.

[android-developers] Droid/Milestone: GL_OES_framebuffer_object reported but not working

2009-12-29 Thread Hexage

Hi,

I'm trying to use the framebuffer object extension on Milestone with
2.0 firmware. The extension is reported by OpenGL but when you try to
use it then my app aborts. No message, no stacktrace, nothing.

Here is a simple code snippet for creating a framebuffer object:

int createFBO(GL11 gl) {
  boolean hasFBO = isGLExtensionAvailable
(GL_OES_framebuffer_object); // internal function for GL_EXTENSIONS
lookup
  if (! hasFBO)
return 0;

  if (! (gl instanceof GL11ExtensionPack))
return 0;
  GL11ExtensionPack glext = (GL11ExtensionPack)gl;

  int[] handles = new int[1];
  glext.glGenFramebuffersOES(1, handles, 0); // aborts on Milestone
  return handles[0];
}

Has anyone had any luck using FBO?

Hello!, thanks for the answers.

Yes I have enbled the USB debugging. My device is a HTC hero of Orange

I have installed the USB tool that comes with the setup of the SDK,

never stops on the breakpoints used (and that breakpoints works with

[android-developers] SMS text garbled using native Messaging app when message spans two text messages?

2009-12-29 Thread Mark Wyszomierski

Hi,

I'm working with the sms intent. Testing this on 2.0 emulators.

If I use the built-in messaging app to create a text message which
spans two messages, the receiving emulator displays the received
message as garbled text. Looks like it's encoded or compressed etc.
Does anyone else see this? Is this just an issue with the emulators,
and won't happen on a real device? If I send a message  160
characters, the other emulator gets it ok.

Thanks

 But yeah, any help how to get rid of the remaining long calculation?

By writing shift into fixed I meant you can simply do:

int time_15_16 = ((int) (now - last)  16) / 1000;

since difference betweend now and last update time cannot overflow.

[android-developers] Re: No Adobe Flash support for Eclair!?!

2009-12-29 Thread Skid

The browsers on my Droid (Milestone) forwards me Adobe's site that
tells me:
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is coming to Android 2.0 and future releases
in the first half of 2010.

Nice and vague but there you are.

On Dec 28, 6:07 pm, chris harper ch393...@gmail.com wrote:
 I kept reading about how one of the biggest news about eclair coming
 out in 2010 is that  support for Flash 10 (or ANY Flash for that
 matter) will be built into it.

 This does not appear to be the case for the fact that I download all
 the latest source code for Eclair, built and installed Eclair onto my
 development phone over the Christmas break and to my surprise/
 disappointment there is absolutely no support for Flash when I try to
 view with the browser. I tried plugin's and searching for missing .apk
 installs for Flash but I found nothing.

 Unless I am missing something (i.e. maybe a side tree build for
 flash?)  and if I did then I apologize but from what I can tell as of
 now the Eclair build does and will not support flash.

 If anyone knows ANYTHING on this topic on this please update for us.

 Thank you

2009-12-29 Thread chris harper

Hey Sena

It looks like I have to do a little more research between Flash 9 and
FlashLite. I will do that tonight. Thank you.

Unfortunately I have the Sprint HTC HERO which as I recently found out is
less open to find ROM updates. I will search for the Sense 2 that you
referred to. I might get lucky. :-)

I am doing a proof of concept right now for an app that I want to do.
For my app to work I will need to interact certain system actions on the
phone with code in Flash (actionscript 2 which FlashLite supports).
I have not found a way for Java (i.e. an android app) to interact with
actionScript directly.

The bridge I found is javascript.

ActionScript WILL interact with javascript.
Java also interact with javascript as seen here with WebView.
http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/
Check out the *WebViewDemo.*

So what I am trying to do is when an action happens ( for example the phone
ringing or other events on the phone)  that triggers a call to javascript
which will then in turn send an action to the actionScript within flash
which will then perform an animation or something.
If I can only find a way to actually display the flash content within
WebView.

I might be out in right field on this and if I am please feel free to give
me a virtual slap around but this is the only way I can find to do what I
want.

 Hi Chris,

 From what I kwow there are quite a few differences between Flash 9 and

 You'll definitely need one of the standard Hero roms unless somebody has
 hacked the Flash files onto a custom rom. If you must have something more
 recent you might want to track down the Sense 2 rom. I know that runs on
 Hero. There are videos of it floating about. Or just wait, for 2 months for
 HTC to drop the official 2.x update.

 I must say I'm intrigued as to why you want to create such a WebView when
 only Hero owners will be able to use it at present. Of course once Flash
 10.1 turns up for Android everybody should be able to play.

[android-developers] Re: Android “hover” event i n custom layout

2009-12-29 Thread k_day

I suppose one way to do this is to capture touch events at the layout
level, and then loop through all the layouts to see if an imageview is
under that point, though that sounds inefficient.

Is there any better way to find which view is at a given point?

Also, is it true that any touch event on an imageview will always
start with an ACTION_DOWN? I would like to switch focus to another
view when a finger is dragged over it.

 How would I go about capturing this behavior?

Re: [android-developers] No Adobe Flash support for Eclair!?!

Chris, sounds OK to me. I suppose using the WebView is to bridge between
Flash and Java as you indicated and to allow instant application updates
(instead of requiring install of a rich interface application).

However, the plumbing looks awful, I think you'd agree. I've wondered if
Adobe hasn't missed the boat by not having made Flash the mobile app
platform of choice, but that's another discussion.

[android-developers] Re: Contact Picking on Motorola Cliq (1.5)?

2009-12-29 Thread jak.

Hello Suzanne,

I'm glad to hear that there is a fix in the works for this bug.
Are you aware that there is also a bug when using the create intent?

Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT,Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI);

This does allow me to create a new contact, but the result it sends
back to my onActivityResult callback is useless.

  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent 
 data) {}

Whenever the user is done creating a contact, I get a call to my on
activity result with resultCode set to 0 (AKA: RESULT_CANCELED), and
data is null;
Even though the contact creation was successful!

This is not the default Android behavior.
When a user uses this intent to create a new contact, the
onActivityResult should pass a -1 for the result (AKA: RESULT_OK).
And the Intent data should contain a Uri to the newly created contact,
accessible via data.getData().

Since Motorola's implementation of contacts sends back RESULT_CANCELED
for any contact insert, there's no way for our App that started the
Intent to know when we have a valid result to act on.

If Motorola completely re-implements parts of the Android OS, I really
wish they would be careful not break the programmer interfaces.
It makes us developers look bad when our Apps don't work on your
devices when It really isn't even our fault.

Thanks for your help.

2009-12-29 Thread rahul

Hi,

I am suppressing the touch events depending upon the size in the
dispatchTouchEvent of View.java. If the event size is greater than the
threshhold i m sending the event as ACTION_CANCEL to onTouchEvent. I
wanted to know how ACTION_CANCEL works. In the android document it
says it cancel the current gesture. What is the meaning of gesture (is
it  ACTION_DOWN plus something which can happen between ACTION_UP) or
is it individual event like ACTION_DOWN, ACTION_UP or ACTION_MOVE ?

Thanks in advance.

Rahul

[android-developers] Questions about data persistence

2009-12-29 Thread cristiamterrera

Good community, I am developing an application data load information,
such an agenda, and I get the question of how to persist data?
to join the application, as besides the data also
persist the settings that are joining as preferences between
other things and information that is generated will persist in the
application?
someone can tell me roughly where it's the simplest
adequate?

[android-developers] What use for simple drawing on screen

2009-12-29 Thread hollowback

Hi, what is best way to create app in which I only need to draw simple
lines through onTouchEvent?
When i use invalidate everytime i draw any line, that erase lines i
draw before. But if I use some List structure to store drawed lines it
lose performance.
Is there any simple way to do it?

Thanks for reply

Hi,

I know the G1 and the Droid can both do multiple sample rates. As far
as I know from reading posts, only the Samsung Moment is limited to
8000hz. I don't know of other devices tho.

Hi, the platform currently doesn't support Flash.  I would ask that you
please do not put applications up on the Market that rely on Flash, as they
will be very tied to specific devices that may happen to have it.

Even if at some point Flash is more generally supported on the platform, it
may well be an optional plug-in for users to download, so you would want to
think very seriously about whether you want rely on that with the attendant
hassles for the user of having to install Flash to use your app.  And of
course the minimum platform version your app would be compatible with is
whichever one this feature appears on -- for example, however you get it to
work with the HTC Hero will probably not match a standard platform facility,
since this is a non-standard platform feature owned by HTC.

Of course for futzing around with your own private app, have at it and do
what you want.  But for things that are intended to go on market, please
keep this in mind.

Re: [android-developers] Suppressing touch events with ACTION_CANCEL

2009-12-29 Thread Dianne Hackborn

ACTION_CANCEL lets you consume the current touch event stream until the next
up.

I would highly recommend that you not do this yourself, but use the APIs on
ViewGroup for intercepting touch events that will take care of these details
for you and ensure that the correct event flow occurs.

[android-developers] Re: ProgressDialog during location tasks either won't show or force closes - I have tried everything!

2009-12-29 Thread andrew android

Thanks.  I was trying to create the ProgressDialog in OnCreate or
OnStart.  That must be the problem so what is the best approach to do
it immediately when theView is loading?I even tried
RunInUIThread?

Sorry for not including much trace before, by the way.  My mistake.  I
may try again later if still...

 That was not much help as I don't see any stacktrace.

 Are you passing the right context when you create the dialog, when you
 say it doesn't show up ?
 like so ... new ProgressDialog(YourActivity.this);

 Also you cannot touch any UI components in threads except the main UI
 thread or the Handlers, which might explain the force close.

 Please refer the docs for more info at

 I now have it in a Handler with a full 1 second delay (one method

 Threads are usually force closing when I use those methods.

 What other tricks are there for this?

HashSet is not an ordered collection. The ordering is based on the the

different orderings.

  callbacks which would be called when another Activity or Application becomes
  visible.

  Here's an explanation I found by googling for android modal dialog:

  Hi ,
        I am displaying Confirmation type dialog box. I want to pause
  execution of that thread until answer is provided by user, but since this
  AlertDialog works asynchronously, I am facing problems in blocking that
  thread but displaying AlertDialog and continue execution on answer. I tried
  using wait notify between threads but didn't worked. Anybody Used
  AlertDialog.wait() method ?
  I am pasting my code here too,

                                       AlertDialog.Builder builder = new
  AlertDialog.Builder(Demo.ctxt);

  builder.setMessage(Do you want  to Trust testgenservercert)
                                                       .setCancelable(false)

  .setPositiveButton(Yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                                           public void
  onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

  //uiThread.notify();

  System.out.println(Positive Button clicked);
                                                                   }
                                                       })

  .setNegativeButton(No, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                                           public void
  onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

  //uiThread.notify();

  System.out.println(Negative Button clicked);

                                                                   }
                                                       });
                                          /*uiThread =
  Thread.currentThread();
                                          AlertDialog alert =
  builder.create();
                                          alert.show();
                                          synchronized(alert) {
                                                  alert.wait();
                                          }*/

[android-developers] TabActivity how to show Contact activity in a tab.

2009-12-29 Thread maxsap

Hello all I am developing an application and as part of it I would
like to show a tabactivity and use the contact activity to let the
user see,modify,or call a specified contact. my code is this:
package com.WaveCally;

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.app.AlertDialog.Builder;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Contacts.People;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;

public class WaveCally extends TabActivity  {
private TabHost mTabHost;
private int PICK_CONTACT;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

mTabHost = getTabHost();
try{
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(Contacts).setIndicator
(TAB 1).setContent(R.id.ParentView));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(tab_test2).setIndicator
(Contacts).setContent(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
People.CONTENT_URI)));
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(tab_test3).setIndicator
(TAB 3).setContent(R.id.textview3));
}catch(java.lang.SecurityException ex){;
}

mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

}

}

but when I run this programm I get a securityException even though I
have all the needed permision on my manifest.
I tried to run only the intent for calling the contact and worked so I
think the problem occurs when triyng to show the contact activity as a
tab content. So the questions are :
how to make it work and call the contact activity and set it as the
content of a tab?
And why I can't set the contents with the above mentioned code?
thanks in advanced maxsap
