[android-developers] Re: OpenGL Fillrate Issues
@Kevin - I've written lots about this and posted code to use. Check out the following links: http://www.rbgrn.net/content/54-getting-started-android-game-development http://www.rbgrn.net/content/215-light-racer-3d-development-journal @MrChaz From my tests on 1.5 and 1.6, Thread.sleep() does not even come close to adequately fixing the problem. I have tried ranges from 16-1000 and touch'n'hold still causes my game to drop from 30FPS down to 15FPS or lower on the G1. The game suffers no such problems on the Droid and Nexus One. I've also taken out everything but the call to sleep (so onTouchEvent ONLY sleeps and returns) and I STILL see that slowdown, so it's not my handling code. Also, I bound keyboard keys to do the same things and wouldn't you know, it works perfectly, thus proving that it's simple low-level touch code sucking up the CPU and killing my framerate. If you don't use a sleep, it's even worse but even with one, games will suffer. The more CPU intense your game is, the more the frame rate will drop from touching. Like I said, I haven't experienced any issues with framerate drop on any 2.0/2.1 device. Only on 1.5/1.6. My new game, a FPS, will be requiring 2.0. It runs in 1.5 but the user experience is bad because of that touch bug. Also, I can take advantage of multitouch and provide a better control system this way, further enhancing user experience. I just hope that most or all of the existing phones get upgraded at some point in the next 2 months.

[android-developers] Re: Android Emulator Stop Working in Eclipse
This looks perfectly normal and correct to me. The application is
already up-to-date on the device, and you already have the activity
running, so it just brings it to the front.
If you kill the task, using some task manager app, or rebooting your
phone, or just wait for Android to get rid of the task, and then try
it, it will then create a completely new activity.
But what I usually do is even simpler -- I insert a space somewhere in
a source file, save it, delete the space, and save again. Now it
doesn't see the version on the phone as up-to-date, and it will
redeploy, and then, necessarily, start a fresh activity.
While sometimes I wish the debugger would automatically restart the
task, that's not what happens when the user invokes your program in
this circumstance, so I don't think it would be a good idea as a
default action for a debugger. But it does occasionally confuse me, if
I'm expecting a breakpoint in an onCreate(Bundle) method to trigger.

[android-developers] Issue with WindowManager showing UI
Hi,
I have just created this small application which shows simple textview
on receiving incoming call. This app works perfectly on emulator.
Also it works very well when I launch main activity of application and
I receive incoming call.
But now if I restart phone and if I receive incoming call, the
TextView UI won't show up. If I check debug log everything seems
working fine i.e. my broadcast receiver receives event and invokes
function to show UI. But actual UI never shows up.
Now if I again launch application main activity and receive incoming
call, UI shows up properly.
Below is the code snippet:
---
public class IncomingCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
int callState = telephony.getCallState();
switch (callState) {
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE: {
Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, CALL_STATE_IDLE);
hideUI(context) ;
}
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK: {
Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK);
hideUI(context) ;
}
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING: {
Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, CALL_STATE_RINGING);
showUI(context) ;
}
break;
}
}
private WindowManager mWindowManager;
static View mainView ;
private void showUI(Context context) {
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_TOAST,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE
|

TextView view = new TextView(context);
view.setText(This is text view do you see it ?);
mainView = view;
mWindowManager.addView(view, lp);

}
}

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL Fillrate Issues
@Kevin i wrote a small tutorial on android game dev which is available here http://www.androidpit.de/android/de/de/wiki/view/Spieleentwicklung_101. You can find the accompanying code here http://code.google.com/p/android-gamedev/. Currently there's only a german version of the tutorial, i'm working on the translation to english. The code itself of course uses english for naming stuff so you should be able to follow it. It shows how to play music/sound effects, use the accelerometer and touch screen, use assets to store your game resources and how to setup a proper game loop for a small Space Invaders clone. For more game dev related info i suggest you take a look at http://www.gamedev.net, http://www.flipcode.com and http://www.gamasutra.com. Especially gamedev.net has a load of articles on various topics ranging back to 1999, so a lot of it is usefull for game dev on android. I would not reload parts of the map during runtime. I can easily cram a 512x512 tiles big map into ram for the racer i talked about above. It's actually two layers of tiles, one for the background and one for the foreground. That should be more than enough for any kind of tile based game (yes i remember bill gates famous quote...). However, you have to split up that map into smaller chunks, say 8x8 tiles each and figure out which chunks are currently visible on screen based on the location of the camera. You only want to render those. The same is true for objects in the game. This process is called culling and it is essential to keep things smooth. As tile-based games are most often 2D you can get away with simple forms of culling, i.e. you know the size of a tile chunk on screen in pixels and simply calculated the distance to the camera to figure out if it's visible. For more elaborate maps you might have to look into frustum culling which is a bit more involved. You can find information on all relevant techiques on the sites i mentioned above. The 24mb limit was not a show stopper for me yet. 512x512 tiles can be easily stored in 512x512 bytes in a byte array. This array keeps the information on which graphical tile is used at what position, e.g. a grass tile, a stone tile and so on. You just give each tile a number and store that number for each tile in the byte array. The graphical tiles themselves should be stored in a single texture atlas (another bunch of keywords you can google for). When you construct your OpenGL geometry you do so for each chunk (8x8 tiles). You basically create 2 triangles for each tile in a chunk that form a quad. You give that two triangles texture coordinates that map to the proper graphical tile in the texture atlas. Each graphical tile in the texture atlas should be given a number. That number is stored in the byte array mentioned above. Once you are done with creating all meshes (again, look that word up if you don't know it, it's basically the geometry for the tiles) you work out the culling of each tile chunk and only draw the meshes for the chunks that are visible. tada, tile-based map rendering is done :). There's a couple of tricks you can use to speed up the culling process, e.g. quadtree (which might be a bit of overkill here). Use your favorite search engine to find out more. @MrChaz, i can confirm the problem Robert has. No matter how much i sleep in the onTouch method, the slow down is always noticeable. Other games on the market also suffer from this problem. If you take a look at Radiant for example you will notice that the bullets slow down a tiny bit when you touch the screen. The system get's flooded with touch events on 1.5/1.6. Calling MotionEvent.recycle() at the end of the onTouch method helps at least with fixing the small memory leak that occurs as a MotionEvent instance with a float array is created each time the method is called.

Re: [android-developers] How to select an item in a listview by code
On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 5:11 AM, Michael J McLean m...@mmc2.com.au wrote: Mark, Thank you for taking the time to reply. There are a lot of restrictions placed on developers trying to provide a quality user interface. I can live with this particular restriction but I would appreciate help on one other issue. If I use the navigation buttons to highlight and select an item in my listview, and then press MENU, the first menu item is highlighted, where if I hadn't previously navigated to one of the items on my list view, and press MENU, the menu item would not be highlighted.. I would like to prevent this from happening for the sake of consistency. There are two different modes of navigation. Touch mode and button mode (can't remember the real name). Basically if you press a navigation button like the d-pad it will switch out of touch mode. This means you will see items highlighted so you can tell where you are. If you're in touch mode you wont see this highlighting because there's no need to know where you are and you can touch anywhere on the screen. I's therefore a user aid to have this highlighting turned on where you activate the menu button and isn't really something you should be messing with. I'm sure it's possible to, however it would likely confuse users as it goes away from what normally happens on all other apps, and keeping things consistent means much happier users. Only change this if you really have to, not just because it looks better. I wonder why the programmer doesn't just simply have the ability to highlight or de-highlight an item with one command. But then I also wonder why the programmer cannot simply call or hide the virtual keyboard with one command each. Getting rid of the virtual keyboard proved to be a messy affair with unwanted side effects. Even now, when doing a text entry, I find that if I hold down some characters, such as e, g, and r, unwanted options appear on the screen. I presume you've disabled the virtual keyboard and have the app in a portrait orientation. If you do it wont matter too much what you press on the emulators keyboard as only devices with a hardware keyboard (G1 and droid for example) will be able to press these keys, and even then only with the slider open. What was the reason for disabling the virtual keyboard? Surely if you have a text area you want people to be able to type into it on devices without a keybaord. I would really appreciate help on getting rid of that. I have purchsed two books including yours, enrolled in a University course ( to withdraw after 3 weeks when I realised their lack of their ability to help), and yet I find most knowledge comes from trial and error, constantly reinventing the wheel, and the occasional tip from the forums, if your lucky. I would love to know where I can find systematic introductions and explanations for these basic Android features. The Android documentation seems to be written as a reference source for people who already understand it. Seeing links being given to the Android documentation as an 'answer' to forum questions, is frustrating and annoying. People are asking for help and examples. The existence of, and size of the forums, is testament to the Android documentation not giving us developers what we need. Much of my programming time and efforts seems to be in developing ad hoc workarounds, to situations that prevent me from achieving the standard of user interface that I require. That's how development works for me as well. The books and documentation can only take you so far. Most of the experience comes from actually doing it. If you want to be able to read a book and then be able to go straight out to making a really complicated application you're going about it the wrong way. Treat the books and documentation as a reference and use your own project as a way of actually learning how to develop for android. Two features that led me to invest most of last year into learning Android, were 1) the fact that it was claimed that you didn't even need a handset. If it worked on the emulator you could rely that it would work on the phone, and 2) the App store. 1) Technically true but it's always good practice to test the application on a real device. It also helps to know how other applications on the device function so you can keep it consistent with that (like the touch mode example i gave above). 2) Gotta love open app stores :) Both of these advantages are seriously eroded by the fragmentation of Android. And it doesn't help to read of Android engineers expressing their anger in forum replies to reference being made to the fragmentation issues. The fragmentation is an issue and Google does need to answer it seriously and soon I think. All of the above strengthens the case for me to not merely rethink your user interface to avoid the question as advised by you, but to rethink the ultimate question of

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL Fillrate Issues
@kevin wheter your game needs native code or not depends on the type of game. If you are doing animated 3D meshes, like using md2 meshes (quake 2 format) you need to write the vertex interpolation code in c if you have more than a few (==2-3 from my experience) meshes displayed. As for the overhead of calling JNI functions i'd say it's neglectable in most cases. The space invaders clone above performs a lot of calls to OpenGL matrix functions as well as mesh rendering functions and that didn't seem to bog it down the least ( a lot ~= (32+15+1)*(4+7) = 528 ) on the hero as well as on the droid.

tab one should be selected. Similar case with tabs two, three
and four
I was able to call the activities retaining the tabs. But when i click
emulator back button i am not able to restore the previous activity.
llowing the code i have used for calling activities:
public class SpinnerClass1 extends ActivityGroup{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
LocalActivityManager m;
�...@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
m= getLocalActivityManager();
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById
(com.enlume.R.id.ButtonTabTest);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(SpinnerClass1.this,
ActivityTabStateRetain1.class);
Window window = m.startActivity(favourite
shop,intent);
setContentView(window.getDecorView());
overridePendingTransition(com.enlume.R.layout.fade,
com.enlume.R.layout.hold);
}
});
}
}
Please suggest me in the right direction.
Thanks in Advance,
Suda.

Re: [android-developers] android milestone text size small
It might be something to do with the display density. Maybe you have defined the size of the text in px (absolute pixels) which on a device with a higher density makes the text smaller.

Re: [android-developers] Re: OpenGL Fillrate Issues
I definitely have this problem on the Nexus One.

As soon as I touch the screen: Frame rate drops to 43 FPS until i release the finger, than it gets back to 60 FPS.

Hi,

And I get an exception when trying to launch the Cropper:

It seems like it is there to be used but someone forgot to create the

[android-developers] Re: Picking up a PhoneBook entry under Android 2.0 !!!
I figured it out from a combination of the info on these two pages: http://www.higherpass.com/Android/Tutorials/Working-With-Android-Contacts/1/ http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility-for-android.html I needed to write an abstract wrapper class that generates a concrete class depending on the SDK version. Then I had to implement different concrete classes for each set of code I needed and generate them on the fly depending on the SDK version. Weird stuff! PS.

In my app, the image-Uri in the setData is different. You use a

cannot handle 'file:' uris and can only handle images that are
inserted into the Images content-provider.

@Ralf
that is very strange behaviour i wouldn't expect from a Nexus One. I
have to admit that i only own a Droid so i can't confirm it for the
N1. Would you mind putting an apk with your test application up
somewhere, for example at http://www.file-pasta.com, and add log cat
output so we can observe the behaviour of your app on our devices?
Additionally, if it's not to much of a hazzle you could also share the
source code so we can have a look at it.
Sorry, unfortunately I can not upload a test app at this point.
I just checked it again:
- The 60 FPS I reported for 3 textured full screen quads was to high. It
is more around 40 FPS (if not touching the screen).
It goes down to 35 FPS as long as I touch the screen.
- The 60 FPS I reported was from a simple colored triangle. During
touching the screen it is ca. 48 FPS.
Sorry, for the wrong numbers in my previous post.
There is a very simple test you can perform by yourself:
- On every frame [*public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) *] just do a glClear
like:
*gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);*
- Measure FPS
- Touch the screen
- Measure FPS
This simple test on the N1 shows a frame rate drop while touching the

[android-developers] Reposition views att runtime
How do I reposition views at runtime? In activity onCreate when all views are set all views sizes are 0. If I could somehow subclass activity view loaded from resources I could probably override view's onFinishInflate() and reposition all views after they all have been set and inflated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Reposition views att runtime
How do I reposition views at runtime? The same way you position them in the first place -- by manipulating their layout rules (e.g., android:layout_centerInParent). You do this via calling getLayoutParams() on your View, casting it to an appropriate type (e.g., RelativeLayout.LayoutParams), making the desired changes, and calling setLayoutParams() to affect those changes. Note that I haven't done this in quite some time, so the above recipe is from memory and may be a bit off, though I'm pretty sure it is mostly correct. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] What About Oversize Apps?
Could the app still be installed OK if their phone wasn't already crowded with other large apps? Your application will take 22-44MB to install, depending on whether or not you use the Android Market copy protection. Will more memory likely become available soon? That is impossible to predict. Do the Droid and Nexus have more than the old HTC phones? Yes, but still only around 200MB. My DROID clocks in at 240MB free with some apps installed; my Nexus One has 175MB free with some apps installed.

[android-developers] Re: Crop a Picture after Using Camera to Take It
I've tried testing it with the code from the 1st post.
Looks like:
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT,
MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.toString());
intent.putExtra(crop, true);
..
..
If i'm not wrong, this tells the Camera activity to call the crop
activity right after (I also looked at the sources).
It returns the same exception. Which is very odd. It means that the
Camera activity failed to launch the crop activity ?!
BTW - A simple test of trying to set an image to a contact in my
contact list works just fine (with croping).
According to the Android sources, the contacts application is doing
the same thing as me example.
So now I call to Motorola developers, what's your 5-cents?

In my app, the image-Uri in the setData is different. You use a

cannot handle 'file:' uris and can only handle images that are
inserted into the Images content-provider.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Who wants Multi-touch in all Android versions?
Hi,
Sorry that I missed the continuation of this thread, and only noticed it now
as I got a Google Alert for our app name.
@Dianne, that's not quite true (that all MT data is lost). The coordinates
of the additional points are removed from the event data, but the size and
pressure values change predictably as additional fingers are added.
We have been swamped with work on our products and have not published the
solution. But, in a nut shell, our solution is a simulated multi-touch
that lets you zoom easily using either pinch/stretch or paw gestures. If
you're curious how well it works, download PhoneMyPC or Imagine Multi-touch
and give it a try.
Here's how it works:
* When an additional finger touches the screen, the size and pressure
([MotionEvent].getSize() and [MotionEvent].getPressure()) change in fairly
predictable ways.
* When that change is detected, track the one point (x,y) that you get to
determine whether it's moving towards, or away from the center of screen.
* If it's moving towards, zoom in. If it's moving away, zoom out.
Some things to consider are:
1) HTC devices work best when both pressure and size are used
2) On Samsung devices, size is always zero, but pressure changes predictably
3) The Motorola Cliq is the only phone we've found on which this will not
work. Both size and pressure are constant.
Both values can be a bit neurotic and require some denouncing, but if you
try the software, you'll see this method works well enough to give a good
user experience.
And, in the interest of time, here are some more details copied from an
email I recently sent someone who asked about this:
First, we no longer override onTouchEvent because it's simpler to provide
support for all API versions using view.setOnTouchListener(...). We use one
OnTouchListener implementer for pre-2.0 devices, and a different one for
2.0+ devices. Determine this with (Integer.parseInt(
android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK )). This value is 4 for 2.0+ devices.
Next, in our implementation for 2.0 devices, we grab three important
values:
float size = event.getSize();
float pressure = event.getPressure();
float total = size * pressure;
We use the total to help us detect the device type.
In our code for handling events when the action is MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE,
we're always watching to see if the values indicate we should switch to zoom
mode (an extra finger down). Note, we never worry about this when action is
ACTION_DOWN, because you just can't get two fingers on the screen at the
same time, and even if you could, we'd pick it up int he fist ACTION_MOVE.
We check as follows:
if( (total .1f) || (size == 0f pressure .15f ) ) { ...
The first subexpression indicates a non-Samsung device, and that a second
finger is down. The second subexpression is for Samsung, where size is
always 0, and pressure will drop below .15 when a second finger goes down.
Note, there is something wrong with this approach because we've now got two
reports (out of many thousand users) that they are unable to pan. One is
using a G1 (this MUST be a strange device calibration issue, because I
personally have ran this code on MANY G1's); one is a Cliq. Ironically now
that we've added support for Samsung, they are the only users with zero
reports of issues (and of course Droid and Nexus One users don't count
because they are using different code that supports true multi-touch).
Warm regards,
Scott

I agree with the below statement. I am experienced mobile app developer in BREW, J2ME. But Android documentation when compared with them is so bad. Doesn't help developers much.

The Android documentation seems to be written as a reference source for people who already understand it. Seeing links being given to the Android documentation as an 'answer' to forum questions, is frustrating and annoying. People are asking for help and examples.

If it worked on the emulator you could rely that it would work on the phone, and 2) the App store. Both of these advantages are seriously eroded by the fragmentation of Android. And it doesn't help to read of Android engineers expressing their anger in forum replies to reference being made to the fragmentation issues. All of the above strengthens the case for me to not merely rethink your user interface to avoid the question as advised by you, but to rethink the ultimate question of does Android offer enough to developers to be worthwhile.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Launching the correct activity on resume
Hey guys, Funny I find this thread this morning.. I just posted to Mark Murphy's forum a similar question regarding multi-activity apps and how the life cycle is handled. My question was a little bit different, but similar to this. My main question was how do we handle the various life cycle methods in each activity. If I have a game with a splash screen, main menu, game screen, and high score screen.. at any one of those screens a call can come in, the user can hit back, hit home, etc. My understanding of what you say in this thread, and how I thought it would work is.. no matter WHAT button was pressed (or call come in, etc), the activity on top is PAUSED. When you come back to your app by any means, the paused activity regains control via onResume and such, and you continue where you left off. The exception is.. that Android itself might shut down your app for other apps if it needs to regain the memory your app is using. Therefore, it is up to the app to save it's state info, so that WHEN the user either uses the task list OR the icon in the drawer (or home screen) to launch your app, you can load that state and put the app back into the last place it was at when the PAUSE condition occurred. Is this not the case? So my main problem with all this.. I understand for the most part how the methods are called and when.. but what I am having a problem with is how to save state and restore it... primarily because, in 2+ activity apps, it seems you have to duplicate all those methods in every activity. See, I love how Android works.. I think it's great..makes sense.. one foreground app runs, the rest sit their paused. Saves battery and makes sense. What I don't get is this notion of life cycle events for every single activity. It seems to me most OS/platforms have a single point of entry life cycle class.. where you would handle any life cycle event in one place. Sort of like a game loop in a game, where you handle all the things in one place to make the game go. I am trying to figure out.. if in my game, at the main menu the user hits BACK, does it go back to the splash screen.. or to the home/drawer and out of my app? Do I exit my game completely if they hit back, or does the user assume that hitting back or home does NOT exit the app, but simply pauses it so they can do something else? I've read two different methodologies regarding this. It seems that some people exit their app completely if you leave it... but you still don't have total control over that because if a call comes in, your app gets paused. You can at least detect home/back pushes and exit your app completely if you want. The other notion is to never exit your app. It stays running forever until Android shuts it down due to memory needs, or a user runs a Task killer to kill it. This seems so odd to me that this is the way to do things. In between that we seem to have some games or apps that actually provide an exit option, either by catching the back button at the main screen and offering the option to exit, or providing an exit/quit menu item that ends the app. To me this last one seems the right way to go for any app. Somehow, you should have an exit/quit, just like a real desktop app. This notion of letting it run forever and Android will manage all the app resources as needed.. I don't know.. I don't like it. What happens if you go to play a game that needs more resources..but Android in shutting down some apps, causes the game to hiccup? Not sure if Android would actually do that right in the middle of a running app or not, but I am curious what happens? The other dilemma to me is.. do we have to actually implement each activity with all those life cycle methods? Or do we put the process of saving state into a single say, static helper class, and in all the activites.. in their onSaveStateInstance and such, we refer to the same one helper method so that we're not duplicating code in various activities? I ask this also because I am wondering.. if I make a dialog activity, and the user hits back/home, call comes in, screen orientation changes, etc.. I need to save my state, then when the app starts.. in case say they changed screen rotation, it restarts the app. Where does it start from? The activity that was on top? Do I then have to reload all the state? Or do I just reload state for that one activity that is on top? If only the one on top (the dialog.. if it has any state)... when it's done and closes (or user hits back), does the underlying activity then get called to load it's state before it goes back to executing whatever method it would? I so far haven't found any info that explains how this multi activity/life cycle process works. I did ask Mark Murphy on his forum so Mark, if you're reading this, I apologize for a double post. I think it would be good for other developers to know in both places. :) Thanks all. On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 2:13 AM, ayanir ayanir...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I have a similar problem when I

[android-developers] JDK dynamic proxy : it works on Android :-)
Hi all !
This message is not a help request neither another complaint post...
I just wanted to say that I'm happy to see that Android seems to
perfectly implement the JDK Proxy/InvocationHandler API... And that's
great !
Ok, maybe some people already knew this. But I didn't, so I'm glad to
share ;-) .
For those wondering what the hell is he talking about ?, quick usage
example :
public interface IUserService {
void getSomeData(String param);
}
[...]
ClassLoader cl = IUserService.class.getClassLoader();
InvocationHandler h = new InvocationHandler() {
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method m, Object[] args) throws
Throwable {
System.out.println(m);
System.out.println(args[0]);
return null;
}
};
IUserService service = (IUserService) Proxy.newProxyInstance(cl, new
Class[] {IUserService.class}, h);
Calling :
service.getSomeData(yeah!);
will print the method signature and the argument...
I now use interfaces + annotations to define my JSON client services,
no more boiler plate code, I love it :-) .
Who said AOP is not for Android ? :-) . Of course, there is still no
dynamic byte-code creation, but that's cool enough.
And I don't wanna hear about any performance concern :-) . It all
depends on what you're doing. For instance, when dealing with getting
data from the internet, what is the relative cost of a proxy ? Not
much... Of course, one should not use this in the graphical components
of a 3D game...
Cheers,
Piwai

I like that. After realizing that this is not supported by theGMail app, I started looking around the market for a widget that achieves this. All I found was a commercial widget, which did not satisfy me (the count did not get instantly updated when the unread mail count changed). Therefore I want to develop a widget, which accomplishes exactly that. Many of you probably have more experience in android development than I do, so I would be happy to hear your opinions. I see two ways to realize this: 1) Somehow hook into a content provider of theGMailapp and extract the unread mail count directly from there. Unfortunately theGMailapp is not part of the SDK and closed source. Therefore I have no idea how to find out about the internal workings of the app and how to extract the unread mail count directly from there. 2) The second approach is much more indirect and has more overhead, but it will work nevertheless. I will let the user provide google username and password and log into the google imap server directly and find out how many unread mail there are. A port of the JavaMail library for the android OS should make this quite simple. The question remains when to update the mail count. What should trigger the update? A periodic time-out? Well, my first idea would be to update it when the widget is first started and then every time a new mail notification comes in. However I don't know whether this is possible. Can I tell my application to react to notifications, which where produced by another application (GMailapp in our case) ? I really think there should be a free unreadgmailwidget, which accomplishes this! I would be happy to receive feedback.

Hello, I thought I already posted this question but I can't find it so I ask again :-) I add dynamically some views to my main view with addView(). When the phone goes to landscape mode, these views are no longer on the screen. I believe that's because the main.xml file is reloaded so all the views that are not described in the xml are gone.

It goes down to 35 FPS as long as I touch the screen.
- The 60 FPS I reported was from a simple colored triangle. During
touching the screen it is ca. 48 FPS.
Sorry, for the wrong numbers in my previous post.
There is a very simple test you can perform by yourself:
- On every frame [*public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) *] just do a glClear
like:
*gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);*
- Measure FPS
- Touch the screen
- Measure FPS
This simple test on the N1 shows a frame rate drop while touching the
screen:
01-27 16:01:20.920: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.92
01-27 16:01:21.920: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.73

01-27 16:01:24.951: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 43.25 # Touch Screen

01-27 16:01:26.960: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 53.60
01-27 16:01:27.980: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 49.22
01-27 16:01:28.980: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 46.83
01-27 16:01:29.991: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 44.65
01-27 16:01:30.991: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 52.82
01-27 16:01:32.000: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.89 # Release Finger
01-27 16:01:33.000: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.64
01-27 16:01:34.010: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.71
01-27 16:01:35.011: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.70
01-27 16:01:36.020: DEBUG/GGTest(21690): FPS: 60.73
..Btw: I tried a:
event.recycle();
try {
Thread.sleep(18);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
... this helps nothing on the N1. So, (in this case) the problem might not
be a garbage collection issue. May be the the whole input flow is just to
bloated with to many abstraction layers.

I tried a PDF viewer for my moto droid. Don't like it so much. It's much harder to work with than on a laptop screen. It's much smaller of course, and you end up with a lot less realestate, so you continually have to scroll left/right.

Yup Is there a nice way to keep the same view hierarchy when going to landscape mode and not lose the views added dynamically?

How does your onTouch method look like? Are you synchronizing on som
object instance?
class EngineGLSurfaceView extends GLSurfaceView {
public EngineGLSurfaceView(Context context) {
super(context);
mRenderer = new EngineRenderer();
setRenderer(mRenderer);
}
public boolean onTouchEvent(final MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
}
return true;
}
EngineRenderer mRenderer;
}

There seems to be a small memory leak in the onTouch method if you don't call event.recycle before exiting the onTouch method. Oh my ghod... are you saying you are calling recycle() on the MotionEvent that is -given- to you in onMotionEvent()? Please please please do not do that, you do not own the event, and you are going to cause nasty problems if you recycle it from the caller that does own it. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

[android-developers] mobile TV support for Nexus One
The Qualcomm CPU on the Nexus Ond claims to have support for mediaFlo which is Qualcomm's solution to mobile TV as well as DVB-H, which I believe is the most widely implemented standard. 1. What exactly is the support? I think (but would like confirmation) that this support is the ability for the chip to receive the broadcast signals. 2. If the chip has this ability, is there hardware that the phone manufacturers must add to access the received signal from the chip? 3. If not more hardware is needed, are there API's which I can use to access the signal from the chip Clearly there must also be a software solution to interpret/decode the signal. There is much 3rd party software which can be added, but if the hardware is not there, there is no point in pursuing this issue further. If anyone has this information available, I would appreciate a reply Cam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
