[android-developers] Re: The life cycle of a static
Thanks Farproc, that all makes sense.
The documentation here:
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/resources/faq/framework.html#3
talks about A public static field/method way of passing data to
activities.
But it seems that its important to know that you can't just set that
at the point you call the new activity. Instead it seems you have to
set it every time the VM is (re)created?
If you start Activity2 from Activity1 and the user hits home in
Activity2 and the VM gets killed...then when the user returns to the
app, Activity2 will get recreated, but Activity1 won't, right? If so,
then Activity1 can't be used to set up the static used by Activity2.
Would be really useful if someone could confirm this.

I thought if I set a static field then that will stay set as long as

I agree with you.
But you can't make such an assumption that MyActivity.onCreate()
will be always executed in the same VM process as
MyActivity.COMPLEX_OBJ = myComplexObj; // which is definitely NOT .
The first time you launch MyActivity, they are in the same VM
instance, but after that MyActivity may be paused(as the user press
home key) and then the VM process may be killed if extra
resources(memory etc) are need by other applications.
What will happen if the user long press home and come back to
MyActivity again? A new VM process will be created, a new instance of
MyActivity will be created and resumed! MyActivity.onCreate() will
be executed in a completely new VM process this time!!
NOT TESTED AND VERIFIED!

When starting a new Activity, I want to pass a complex object and do

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(this, MyActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
and then in MyActivity:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
if (COMPLEX_OBJ == null) {
// report to Flurry
...
}
...
}
When I've tested this on my devices, everything works fine.
However, from Flurry analytics, I see that COMPLEX_OBJ is sometimes
null! But I've checked my code 100 times and can say it is absolutely
not possible that COMPLEX_OBJ is being set with a non null value.
My initial guess was that onCreate() was being called before
startActivity() - is this possible? BTW, the activity is defined in
the Manifest without any intent filters.
Then I found this:
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/appendix/faq/framework.html#3
which says:
But, the life cycle of a static is not well under your control
I thought if I set a static field then that will stay set as long as
the VM is alive. Or have a misunderstood something?

[android-developers] How do I get the ScrollView's mTop value (i.e. the height of the status bar)?
I've implemented a square View whose container is a ScrollView (so as to allow my View to scroll when the IME is shown/hidden). Because it's placed in a ScrollView, when my View's onMeasure() is called the heightMeasureSpec value is 0 (i.e. View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED + 0). In portrait, I can set the height of the View based on the full width of the screen. In landscape I want the View to be the height of the screen (i.e. the short length of the screen) minus the status/ notification bar height; how do I get this value (i.e. the ScrollView's mTop value)?

I specified the NO_ANIMATION flag as well with no success, i still have a animation. Thierry. 2010/3/5 greenrobot kont...@greenrobot.de We are currently looking into methods how to implement tabs. TabHost has serious limitations and is no option. Instead, we are experimenting with our own tab solution, which has its own task (activity stack) for each tab. It's working well except that there's transition animation performed by the system when launching a new task the first time. The NO_ANIMATION parameter passed to startActivity has no effect in this case. The animation breaks the app visually - is there a way to prevent it?

[android-developers] Re: Using onRetainNonConfigurationInstance to keep Media player after orientation change
Hi Martin,
I am not sure if this is the problem, but you should not keep
instances to the old activity during configuration change at all
(MediaPlayer is created with a Context); think about initializing and
managing the MediaPlayer in your Application class or a background
service, if you want it to survive configuration changes.
Have fun

The code which gives the print restoreMediaPlayer is located in
function createMediaPlayer which I provided in my previous post.
Why can't I pass trough the media player object when I can send
variables just fine? Could it be that I need to create a new thread?
When I start the media player the first time it looks like this in the
code:
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
setDataSource(path);
prepare();
start();
}
};
new Thread(r).start();
But I wasn't able to reuse the code after orientation change, I still
had my activity crashing.

[android-developers] [Bitmap] Problem with decodeByteArray
I have a problem with this method decodeByteArray() when i try to decode from a byte array an image as a Bitmap. I explain it better: I receive from a web server an XML file, which also contains a thumbnail and some data. I parse this file with SAX, so I can build an object populated with all data, thumbnail included, as String. Then I need to set the thumbnail into a ImageView, so I convert the thumbanil string to byteArray with getBytes() and use it in this way: byte[] dataImg = thumbnail_string.getBytes(); Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(dataImg, 0, dataImg.length); At this point b is null and I can't set it into the ImageView. I think it could be a problem of encoding/decoding any suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hi, Is there a possibility to move a window without moving internally?

In the onKeyDown() of phone window,the code which i have written is case KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT: WindowManager.LayoutParams lp =getAttributes(); lp.y+=10; setAttributes(lp); break; What I see is the window is moved first internally that is the scroll bar at the bottom is moved and then only the window moves right... How can I move the window without moving it internally? Also,i can observe that the left movement key has no effect.

[android-developers] Re: Using onRetainNonConfigurationInstance to keep Media player after orientation change
Exactly, what i was talking about:
Be very careful with the object you pass through
onRetainNonConfigurationChange(), though. If the object you pass is
for some reason tied to the Activity/Context, you will leak all the
views and resources of the activity. This means you should never pass
a View, a Drawable, an Adapter, etc. Photostream for instance extracts
the bitmaps from the drawables and pass the bitmaps only, not the
drawables. Finally, remember that onRetainNonConfigurationChange()
should be used only to retain data that is expensive to load.
Otherwise, keep it simple and let Android do everything.

Yes. This is one of the many reasons to avoid such statics, particularly for dynamic or mutable data. If you start Activity2 from Activity1 and the user hits home in Activity2 and the VM gets killed...then when the user returns to the app, Activity2 will get recreated, but Activity1 won't, right? Not immediately, no. If so, then Activity1 can't be used to set up the static used by Activity2. Correct. Would be really useful if someone could confirm this. Hi! Farproc speaks truth! :-) When starting a new Activity, I want to pass a complex object Ick. If this is truly transient state, make the object be Parcelable. Otherwise, I encourage you to rethink your plan. Perhaps you need to make those be one single activity rather than two. Or perhaps you need the data to be mediated by another component (e.g., a service). Or, perhaps you need the data to be static, but via some singleton object, where that object is capable of lazy-rebuilding the data when needed after a VM restart. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Online Training: 26-30 April 2010: http://onlc.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: WakeLock finalized while still held?
Hello. I too have a Service. It performs a task, and when finished, it releases the wake-lock. There is a place to stop the service from doing its work, and at this point I too release the wake-lock. So from my perspective, I cleanly release the wakelock at all possible exit points from my service. Yet every 250,000 monkey events or soeg 3+ hours of testing, I get a Wake-lock finalized while still held exception. This irks me. I don't see a benefit of your wakeful intent service. 2 differences between it and my service is that it uses the synchronized keyword on the getLock, and it makes the wakelock a static member (mine is a class member) I don't see how either of these this would affect my situation. If I'm cleanly releasing the wakelock every time the service is finished with its workthen where is wakelock exception being thrown... from research, it would seem as if the service is killed randomly, dirtily.

Not releasing aWakeLockis just asking for users to march on your office, brandishing torches and pitchforks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: WakeLock finalized while still held?
Hunter Peress wrote: I too have a Service. It performs a task, and when finished, it releases the wake-lock. There is a place to stop the service from doing its work, and at this point I too release the wake-lock. So from my perspective, I cleanly release the wakelock at all possible exit points from my service. If you think your service will live forever, then you have missed an exit point. I don't see a benefit of your wakeful intent service. If you are looking to wake up the device and have a service perform some work (and then go away, like services should do), WakefulIntentService is a fine implementation of that pattern. If I'm cleanly releasing the wakelock every time the service is finished with its workthen where is wakelock exception being thrown... from research, it would seem as if the service is killed randomly, dirtily.

If you start Activity2 from Activity1 and the user hits home in Activity2 and the VM gets killed...then when the user returns to the app, Activity2 will get recreated, but Activity1 won't, right? Not immediately, no. If so, then Activity1 can't be used to set up the static used by Activity2. Correct. Would be really useful if someone could confirm this. Hi! Farproc speaks truth! :-) When starting a new Activity, I want to pass a complex object Ick. If this is truly transient state, make the object be Parcelable. Otherwise, I encourage you to rethink your plan. Perhaps you need to make those be one single activity rather than two. Or perhaps you need the data to be mediated by another component (e.g., a service). Or, perhaps you need the data to be static, but via some singleton object, where that object is capable of lazy-rebuilding the data when needed after a VM restart. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Online Training: 26-30 April 2010:http://onlc.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

TreKing is right, please don't use System.exit - use Activity.finish().
If you have multiple activities to close, use startActivityForResult()
and pass back a close now flag so you know to call finish() on the
parent activity as well.

When it is displayed again to the user, it must be completely restarted and restored to its previous state.

[android-developers] Re: Can I get sued for using Android Caller ID?? -Please answer
First of all thanks for using my example :) On the patent thing, if you have a good idea similar to something that is patented, i suggest you to put your app on other country besides US or the list of countries that have the patent (you can google search them). One reason is that the patent system in US is kind of a mess right now (sorry guys its just is). Most patents in US are not global patents so in a sea of 140+ countries, there is a good chance your app would be big somewhere else. On the localization part, there are a lot of willing individual on that certain country that could speak english and is willing to translate the app for you. Btw im not a US hater but i hate the patent system there, it kills further innovations. On Mar 3, 12:51 am, chris harper ch393...@gmail.com wrote: I agree it all depends on if your app makes money. If they see something that makes money they will come after you if you violate a Patent. In my case I did my homework and found out now before my app goes out that someone holds a patent on any case when someone takes any graphic of any image that represents a head and places it on graphic of anything that represents a body. Like JibJab does. If you look at the legal part of their JibJab's web site they have to pay pixfusion a license fee (at the very bottom). http://sendables.jibjab.com/about/legal Which is what my app is going to do (take a head and place it on a body). I wrote pixfusion two emails asking about licenses fee's and what I was developing but I never heard back. So I'll keep the emails that I wrote and if (by chance) my app does get a little popular and I do hear from them then I will have proof that I tried contacting them and I was proactive. For any developers out there reading this do a little googling on any major features of your app and just aware that there are MANY patents out there. Where if your app takes off you could get an email from some BS company saying you have to pay them licenses fees and/or a cease and desist order like K05tik got. There is nothing worse for a developer then spending hours of time developing and coding something just to find out that they have to stop publishing it.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with decodeByteArray
First, doing String.getBytes() involves converting the string into some random encoding. You may know what encoding it happens to be on Android devices, and perhaps it even won't change depending on what country the device is being used in -- but me, I would never go NEAR that method. Do not use it for any purpose; any use of it is sure to be a bug. I have fixed an ENORMOUS number of bugs in people's code, where the sole cause was calling this method. Originally, your data is received via SAX as a char[] array, not a string. That would be closer to what you want, in theory --- but: Critical point: YOU CANNOT SEND UNENCODED BINARY DATA VIA XML. It's not just that some characters have to be quoted. Some byte sequences are not legal characters. When encountering these, a conforming parser with throw an exception -- because it is not XML. If the web service is actually doing this, the web service needs to be redone. More likely, the web service is sending the data encoded; for example, it could be using Base64 encoding. You can work with this as a string if you want (though that involves extra memory usage), but you have to decode it to get the byte[] you'll need to construct the bitmap. On Mar 8, 3:38 am, Paolo brand...@gmail.com wrote: I have a problem with this method decodeByteArray() when i try to decode from a byte array an image as a Bitmap. I explain it better: I receive from a web server an XML file, which also contains a thumbnail and some data. I parse this file with SAX, so I can build an object populated with all data, thumbnail included, as String. Then I need to set the thumbnail into a ImageView, so I convert the thumbanil string to byteArray with getBytes() and use it in this way: byte[] dataImg = thumbnail_string.getBytes(); Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(dataImg, 0, dataImg.length); At this point b is null and I can't set it into the ImageView. I think it could be a problem of encoding/decoding any suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

switch(id) {
case ACTION_DIALOG:
dialog = showActionDialog(classcodecategory, classtextout);
break;
default:
dialog = null;
}

orientation it only keep the negative button of the dialog, the rest
is empty.
Apart of that...when I pass to other activity and come again to this

[android-developers] What is the deal with the android: namespace?
Is there any plan to eliminate the requirement to add the android: namespace to attributes in layout files? In my current project, android: prefixes make up a little over 20% of all of the text in the layout files. And instead of adding value, they make the files VERY DIFFICULT TO READ AND EDIT. I believe it is a well known maxim in the developer community that code is read many more times than it is written. Is there any relief in sight? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

System.out.println(action + action);
return super.onCommand(action, x, y, z, extras,

No actions happens by tapping dropping and etc.

[android-developers] How to use the photo picker and specify a folder
I've been looking into the photo picker which I want to use as part of an application I am developing. I have set up the picker to respond to intents and have tested it in my application. However the way I am hoping to use the photo picker is to restrict it to a specific folder on the SD card. Is this possible, I have looked through the API/SDK and have not found the information I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any help.

[android-developers] Unable to start service Intent
Hello Everyone,
I have created a small util which is a service, I would like to reuse
this util in my future projects.
I have exported /src /gen folders to jar. I have skipped, /res folder
and AndroidManifest.xml files.
I have tried including this in my new app activity and reuse the
service. But I get the error message Unable to start service Intent
.
I have enclosed the Manifest XML and outline of my project.
My Questions are:
1. Have I exported the right files to JAR?
2. Any other information needs to be added in my AndroidManifest.XML
(in App, not in Service) to reuse the service provided by the JAR.
Can someone help me to point out where have I gone wrong?

[android-developers] Switching between tasks
Hello everybody, I'd like to create an Application that uses 2 Tasks with Activities. Let's call the Tasks A and B and the activites A1, A2, ..., An and B1, B2, ... Bn.

In the App, I would like to be able to switch between the 2 Tasks and the whole Activity stack of this task should be restored. Let's say the user browses my App like this: A1 - A2 - A3 (switch tasks) B1 - B2 (switch tasks) A3 (user presses BACK key) A2 (switch tasks) B2 Is such a task switching supported by the Android API?

[android-developers] Activity restart crash after OS kills it
This is what I am doing: Activity SplashScreen is the launching activity for my app. It sends a request to my server and gets back a user data it then uses to populate a user object which is a static object. Once it has that it calls the MyMapView activity and finishes itself. A force close occurs when I hit the home button and then open up enough other apps so that Android kills MyMapView to get more resources. Now when I open my app again it tries to start MyMapView and bypasses SplashScreen. There is no user object so I get null pointer exceptions. I have tried to Override the onSaveInstanceState and OnRestoreInstanceState but it seems that those are not available when Android kills the activity. I also tried android:finishOnTaskLaunch with the SplashScreen (maybe this should be put on MyMapView but the article I read said different) and that seems to have no effect. What I would like is for the activity to not restart after Android has killed it. What can I do about this?

[android-developers] Socket app- Worked fine in Java, not in Android
Have run into a roadblock with this socket app. It all worked fine in
Java with Eclipse, but when we moved it over to Android, it won't run.
When run on Android emulator (both 1.5 and 2.1), we get false(gave up
waiting on response)
The part that needs explaining is that after the NMEA sentence is
sent, we should get a data stream until we close the socket.
1. Why do we get false in the text box? No clue on that one.
Hopefully it will give us a clue as to why it breaks.
2. And what might be different between straight Java and Android
sockets/programs or wrong with our code that we get this exception
instead of the data stream we get when just running as Java app?
See code below. I have ed out sensitive info. Thanks for any
help you can give.

Hey Chris, Smart move, but depending on the time spent and the work involved you should ask them for the minimum fee they'll ask you. Would be too bad to create an app around there patent, give them nice implementation ideas, and have them just tell you they won't let you because they are doing the same, or asks for $400 000 Yahel On 8 mar, 18:59, chris harper ch393...@gmail.com wrote: Thank monmonja I found and contacted a company that holds a patent on a feature that my app centers around.

Re: [android-developers] What is the deal with the android: namespace?
sstrenn wrote: Is there any plan to eliminate the requirement to add the android: namespace to attributes in layout files? There is no requirement to add the android: namespace to attributes in layout files. There *is* a requirement to add the http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; namespace to your file and use its associated prefix with attributes in layout files. And instead of adding value, they make the files VERY DIFFICULT TO READ AND EDIT. This is your opinion. Is there any relief in sight?

No, but onSaveInstanceState() will be called in and around the onPause() and onStop() calls, so they most definitely will have been called by the time your process is terminated, given your above scenario. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
