Hello,

There is a handshake involved when binding to a service. The binding
is not successful until the onServiceConnected callback is called. So
either send in a callback to initRemoveConnection, or poll the
connection checking until twittersendservice is not null.

Hope this helps.

Marek

 I have a strange problem and wondering if anyone ran into the same,
 and was able to solve it.

 I have a the following class that I use to connect to a service I
 created. The catch is that I want to be able to start the service and
 use it right away when the user clicks on a button.

 Here is my class:
 public class TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection implements
 ServiceConnection {
         Context context=null;
         private boolean isBound=false;
         private ITwitterSendService twittersendservice=null;

         @Override

                 twittersendservice = 
 ITwitterSendService.Stub.asInterface((IBinder)
 service);

 SLog.DEBUG_verbose(TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(onServiceConnected));
         }

         @Override
         public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
                 twittersendservice=null;

 SLog.DEBUG_verbose(TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(onServiceDisconnected));
         }

         public TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection() {
         }

         public TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(Context c) {
                 context=c;
         }

         public void releaseRemoteConnection() {
                 if (isBound==true) { context.unbindService(this); }
                 isBound=false;
         }

         public boolean initRemoteConnection(Context c) {
                 boolean ret=true;
                 context=c;
                 if (!isBound) {
                 Intent i = new Intent(ITwitterSendService.class.getName());
                 i.setClassName(com.jeanbombeur.smstoolbox,
 com.jeanbombeur.smstoolbox.services.TwitterSendService.class.getName());
                 ret = context.bindService(i, this, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

 SLog.DEBUG_verbose(Verbose:TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(initRemoteConnection)
 Executed with return code:+ret);
                 isBound=ret;
                 }
                 return ret;
         }

         // From the remote
         public boolean testConnection(String text) {
                 SLog.DEBUG_verbose(Verbose:testconnection before trying 
 anything);
                 try {
                                 return 
 twittersendservice.testConnection(text);
                         } catch (RemoteException e) {
                                 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                 // e.printStackTrace();
                                 SLog.DEBUG_verbose(testConnection 
 error:+e.getMessage());
                                 return false;
                         } catch (Exception e) {
                                 return false;
                         }

         }

 }

 And the way I use it:
  TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection tssrc=null;

 In my button onClick:
  tssrc=new TwitterSendServiceRemoteConnection(context);
  tssrc.initRemoteConnection(context);
  tssrc.testConnection(Hello World Here);

 If I initialize my connection early, like when my activity is created,
 and only later call my service with testConnection, it all works fine.

 However when I try to initialize and directly use the connection, it
 doesn't work.

 It seems that the connection is not finished to be initialized when
 the testconnection is called, and the testconnection failed. In my
 logs, the onServiceConnected is only called -after- the
 testConnection call.

 I tried to put a thread sleep but it doesn't change anything... Anyone
 knows what is the right way to do that? so I can use my AIDL
 connection right after initializing it?

 As far as I'm aware copyright requires using actual material lifted

[android-developers] Re: adb push hosts file into /system/etc/ - No space left on device error

Hello,

Probably the reason why it's not working is that the /system partition
is mounted read-only for obvious (security) reasons. You need to
remount it. Search on this mail list for the exact commands.

But why do you need to edit the hosts file? Can't you use DNS to find
the IP address of your host?

[android-developers] Long key press handling in android 1.5

2010-03-23 Thread Anzi

Hi,

I want to handle key press and long key press for the key code
KEYCODE_CALL(dial button). can any one suggest me how this in android
1.5(API level 3).

Here is the code, but this is not working, for the long key press i am
getting as a normal key event also.

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_CALL: {

if(0 == event.getRepeatCount()) {
   // normal key press
   // But problem is, this code is hitting for long
press also, how to avoid this
} else {
// Long key press
}
// Always consume CALL to be sure the PhoneWindow
won't do
// anything with it
return true;
}
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

[android-developers] RotateAnimation stopping after one complete rotation

2010-03-23 Thread Nithin

Hi,

When doing RotateAnimation,  after each rotation, animation is
stopping and starting again. I gave
setRepeatCount(RotateAnimation.INFINITE);
setRepeatMode(RotateAnimation.RESTART);

My rotateAnim is like this,

new RotateAnimation(0, 360, w / 2, h / 2);

still after one complete rotation its stopping and starting again. I
think , by default, its using AccelerateDeccelerateInterpolator(). How
can I do the rotation continuously

[android-developers] Re: ContentProviders assistance?

2010-03-23 Thread alain

How I do :

In application providing content :

application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/
app_name
activity android:name=.ContentActivity
  android:label=@string/app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
/activity
provider android:name=ItemsProvider
android:authorities=com.me.provider.Items /
/application

You should have a Class called by the name of your provider :
ItemsProvider, that extends ContentProvider of course

In application that reads this content :

Activity Class :
Uri uriItems = Uri.parse(content://com.me.provider.Items/items);
Cursor curAll = managedQuery(uriLivres, null, null, null, title
desc);

This URI depends of course on what you implemented in your
ItemsProvider, withe the method getType, using the UriMatcher.

Re: [android-developers] Game Developers: Some general questions about high scores, achievements, multi player support and in game ads.

2010-03-23 Thread Nikolay Ananiev

On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 2:08 AM, Kevin Duffey andjar...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hey all,

 I am curious how the various groups of game developers, primarily mobile
 (android in this case) and cross-platform (android/iPhone/facebook) handle
 storing high scores, achievements, and such as well as how multi player is
 done.


How does your game(s) access high scores, update the list, remove them if
 need be? The same would apply for achievements, and to a lesser degree,
 leader boards.


Are you using a service out there that you pay for... if so how much does it
 cost.. and do they provide some sort of java/objective-c SDK that you can
 just plug in to your code?

 How do you dispaly high scores, leader boards, achievements, etc in your
 game? Do you provide your own web site with the same info, perhaps jazzed up
 a bit more or with more detail than your mobile game (due to limited screen
 realestate for mobile devices)? Do you provide a link to a web site in your
 game if they want to see things like high scores, achievements and leader
 boards?




My game has a custom view to show the high scores in the game. I didn't like
the web browser approach, because it gets the player out of the game,
completely changes the UI he is used to and the loading time is terrible.
The user experience is really bad this way. I have two high scores in the
game - local and online. The local high scores are stored in a SQLite
database and the remote are in PostgresSQL. I also show the high scores on
the website and on a Facebook application. The difference between the 3
types: The in-game high scores do not support searching (I just don't have
the visual space to put a search input field, which I want). The website
ranking supports searching, but otherwise is the same like the in-game one.
The Facebook one is interesting. If you log-in the game using facebook
connect, your facebook id is saved and this allows me to show a specific
ranking based on you and your facebook friends, show their pictures, link to
their profiles and so on.


How do I send the scores to the server? I don't. That's how I prevent
cheating. What I do is to send the player moves to the server and the server
replays the game using the player moves. Checks if every move is according
to the game rules and validates the game. If the game is valid, the server
just extracts the scores out of its state and saves them. There are no high
scores send over the network.



I would also like to know what sort of things are most important for your
 games. High scores are so yesterday, so to speak. The latest craze in most
 games seems to be achievements and the ability to obtain extra items for
 your games, either by buying them, or earning them through achievements,
 etc. So what are some things you game developers would want to make use of
 in your game to add more appeal to your game, to draw in players for longer,
 especially long enough to pass the 48 hour refund time so that you can
 actually earn some money from your hard work. I look at games on Facebook
 like Farmville that are doing so well they are hiring more developers at
 good pay to work on it. I also look at games like World of Warcraft, which I
 play and got sucked into for a while, due to getting to that next level or
 getting that next awesome epic gear piece... those sorts of things seem to
 be what draws in players to otherwise simple games. A number of mobile games
 that seem to do very well often seem to be fairly simple games but offer
 that right mix of I just got to get to that next I am curious what
 some of you developers have found work for games either those that you
 played, or are working on (or have written) that draw in players. This leads
 to the next paragraph.. making a living on game development ultimately
 requires that your game does well and that people pay for it in some manner
 and not refund it. Hence why I am trying to understand what it is that those
 otherwise simple games seem to do that draw in the masses.



I'm currently working on a real-time multiplayer. You will be able to play
against other players from around the world. I will add an option for
bluetooth challenges later. I'd like to add achievements, but that would be
after the multiplayer.



 Which brings about another topic.. how do games like Farmville make so much
 money being free games, that they can have a company behind it? I can't
 believe ads on the stie alone make up for all their revenue. I've been
 considering looking at ads in the game as opposed to charging for it, and
 that seems like players might keep a game longer than if they pay for it and
 then refund it within 48 hours if they don't absolutely love the game...
 although I am not entirely sure how much it annoys players to have a small
 portion of the screen saved for ads as opposed to just buying it.



Farmville makes little money from ads compared to the money they make from
selling virtual goods. Last thing I remember was that they

[android-developers] Developing a dictionary

2010-03-23 Thread angushir...@googlemail.com

Dear all,
   I am currently learning to develop Android applications,
and to do this I have decided to develop a dictionary application. The
UI, and search facilities are no problem to implement, but my question
is, what is the best way to store the entries and definitions for the
dictionary? Would XML be the best approach? I would be looking to
include 500 - 1000 entries.

Thank you for your help

 My code looks like :-

RE: [android-developers] Apps not shown in 2.1 Market

2010-03-23 Thread Armond Avanes

Hi,

I have the same problem with my app (aCar). I've got some complaints from
2.1 users (Eris) and a few from 1.6 (MyTouch 3G).

By the way, I've restricted my app NOT to run on small screen and it's
copy protected as well. I guess the copy protection flag is somehow guilty
here!

Any similar experiences around?

Regards,
Armond

 Dear all,
 
 I published several free and paid app in the Market. I recently get
 several complains from customers about not finding my app in the 2.1
 Market. Even if they have bought them before, they can't find it in
 the market or their download list after updating to 2.1.
 
 Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
 
 Thanks a lot!!
 
 P.S. all in north america market.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Application Crashing OutOfMemory .Restructuring Help Needed

2010-03-23 Thread Alok Kulkarni

Hi,
Thanks for your responses..
Actually i found out that i was checking the PSS section and not the USS
section. So the UI size is not 10 mb , but its still 8 mb. :( I think there
might be something going really wrong in the app.There is one case where i
restart the App .In this case i have a single Activity in my app and i start
the same activity from this activity.So i believe there is some memory leak
present there..
Regarding inflating the views from the XML , yes i have around 15 XML layout
files.
But i believe tht when i do a setContentView() over a previous
setContentView() the previous screen is automatically GC'd..
The structure is that within one Activity i do setContentView of different
layouts depending upon current Screen(Using Enums for different
screens)according to user response.
Problem with storing in database is that i need to show a List of around
8000 to 1 elements at the same time on the UI.If i keep things in DB
only then it will take a lot of time loading the Screen which is not
acceptable.
So any suggestions regarding
1) how i can check for memory leaks of incorrect layout usage
2)how to optimise logic for showing around 1 elements at the same time
(I see that android takes care of inflating for the list item as per
scrolling on the list )
Thanks,
Alok.

I have to agree with Jim.

The 16mb(24 on some devices) enforcement is there for a reason.

Beside you might run into weird behavior, since if an app is not
showing it can be murdered dead and simple to release memory. This
leads to a scenario where your server could be killed leaving your
main app in a not too stable state.

Would you mind sharing with us how you achieve a layout that weight 10
mb ?
Maybe we can find a way to lighten it.

Good luck

Actually, it's beacause the Object itself in the Adapter is a
Cursor ...
This could help you maybe.

Instead of :

String callno =
mContactList.getAdapter().getItem(position).toString();

I would try :

String callno =
mContactList.getAdapter().getItem(position).toString();

String callno =
((Cursor)mContactList.getAdapter().getItem(position)).getString(1);

And 1 being your row in your Cursor.

[android-developers] Proper way of importing contacts to the device/contacts operations are very slow

2010-03-23 Thread cpphool

Hi!

I have some questions concerning importing contacts to the device,
which is extremely slow.

First of all, if you delete all your contacts, google sync will
restore it very quickly. However, when my app is adding contacts to
the device, it's very slow (a few contacts per second). Even if I add
almost empty contacts (with name only), it is a time-consuming
process.

If I turn google sync off, importing 5000 contacts can take 1-2 hours
(on HTC Magic). When google sync is on it can take up to 24hours. And
this happens despite the fact, that application for the whole time is
in the foreground, device is connected to charger and screen is on. I
checked the logcat to make sure my app is adding the contacts the
whole time, and it is.

I tried different methods and different devices. The results differ of
course, yet manually adding contacts is always significantly slower
that google sync. Is there any way that I can speed up the process? So
that importing 5000 contacts will take less than an hour.

Yes, you should copy the AIDL file to all projects that use the
Service.

 Hello,

 I have problems with the following:

 I want to create to applications. One with a Android service and one
 with a Activity that will use functions on the Service.
 Before I splitted this in to applications I got everything working in
 one application. I can call functions (that are definned in the aidl-
 file) on the service without problems.

 Now the problems coms. I splitted the application into two parts, a
 Service application and Gui application.
 The bindins to the service (in the gui application) works and I see
 that the service is getting created. Then in the onServiceConnected
 function of the ServiceConnection class I created the following:

 mService = IMyService.Stub.asInterface(service);

 And this gives me the following exception:

 03-16 13:53:05.549: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(881):
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyPackage.IMyService$Stub

 It looks like he can't find the Stub class in IMyService. But the Stub
 is part of the java file generated out of the aidl-file.

 Anyone has any idea why I get this exception or how I can resolve this
 issue?

Re: [android-developers] Proper way of importing contacts to the device/contacts operations are very slow

2010-03-23 Thread timo prill


hi,

which SDK version are you using? 1.5? 1.6? 2.0? 2.1?
there were some changes to the contact api from 1.6 to 2.0...

and maybe give a short snippet of how you insert the contacts to the 
database.
maybe you do some (wrong) very time-consuming database-queries or you 
just missed something, because i have seen my code using the contact db 
implementation run way faster.. even with vcard-parsing  full blown 
contacts...on the htc magic


cheers



cpphool schrieb:

Hi!

I have some questions concerning importing contacts to the device,
which is extremely slow.

First of all, if you delete all your contacts, google sync will
restore it very quickly. However, when my app is adding contacts to
the device, it's very slow (a few contacts per second). Even if I add
almost empty contacts (with name only), it is a time-consuming
process.

If I turn google sync off, importing 5000 contacts can take 1-2 hours
(on HTC Magic). When google sync is on it can take up to 24hours. And
this happens despite the fact, that application for the whole time is
in the foreground, device is connected to charger and screen is on. I
checked the logcat to make sure my app is adding the contacts the
whole time, and it is.

I tried different methods and different devices. The results differ of
course, yet manually adding contacts is always significantly slower
that google sync. Is there any way that I can speed up the process? So
that importing 5000 contacts will take less than an hour.

Thanks for the information. But This I know. I think you misunderstood

Actually I am invoking SMS application from my app. I am sending some
text [which is around 300 characters] in sms_body. These characters
are being cut when SMS application is being invoked. I could find only
200 characters in the SMS app.

I want to know where is the limitation? Is this a framework
limitation?

I already pasted my code above.
Note: I am sending through Intent.ACTION_SEND

Anyways thanks for being generous and reply

 Thanks for your feedback in helping us improve our Android developer
 resources.

One of the suggestions is to take user-contributed articles (and
filter out the poorly-written/incorrect ones). This is an excellent
idea - I'm sure many people would be willing to write such articles.

Another way of allowing developers to contribute to the documentation
would that would be amazing is to add a comments system to the
reference pages. Currently if you see an error in the documentation or
want to add something, e.g. an example (these seem to be particularly
absent), there is no real way to do so. You could open a bug, or if
you're feeling really energetic create a patch, but the chances of
either of these being applied to the source are basically zero.

A better alternative would be to allow users to comment on the pages.
A simple implementation would allow comments at the bottom of each
page or section (see the MySQL documentation for a great example of
this). Alternatively something like sidewiki, but where the comments
are at specific vertical locations might work.

Then we can fix this handy list of documentation bugs:

Actually i found out that i was checking the PSS section and not the USS

might be something going really wrong in the app.There is one case where i
restart the App .In this case i have a single Activity in my app and i start
the same activity from this activity.So i believe there is some memory leak
present there..
Regarding inflating the views from the XML , yes i have around 15 XML
layout files.
But i believe tht when i do a setContentView() over a previous
setContentView() the previous screen is automatically GC'd..
The structure is that within one Activity i do setContentView of different
layouts depending upon current Screen(Using Enums for different
screens)according to user response.
Problem with storing in database is that i need to show a List of around
8000 to 1 elements at the same time on the UI.If i keep things in DB
only then it will take a lot of time loading the Screen which is not
acceptable.
So any suggestions regarding
1) how i can check for memory leaks of incorrect layout usage
2)how to optimise logic for showing around 1 elements at the same time
(I see that android takes care of inflating for the list item as per
scrolling on the list )
Thanks,

The 16mb(24 on some devices) enforcement is there for a reason.

Would you mind sharing with us how you achieve a layout that weight 10

Maybe we can find a way to lighten it.

Good luck

OK that's mad. How can the user reasonably navigate that many entries in 
a single list? Search and pagination are your friends here.


I would tend to agree, however for my Prisjakt application (locates best 
price of products) some of my users insisted that the normal searching 
(by text or barcode) was not enough - they absolutely wanted the ability 
to browse all the products in the tree too. For most of the leaf nodes 
the number of items shown in quite reasonable, but in extreme cases 
(such as DVD films) it goes beyond 3.


What I did first of all was allow sorting (by default ranked) and then 
only load 20 items at a time - similar to how it works in Android 
Market. (I'm pretty sure nobody has ever fetched the full 3+ list, 
but in theory that is likely to cause OOM.)


Since I introduced this, I've had no further insisting users, so either 
it is good enough or these particular users have realized that searching 
is actually better...

[android-developers] How to deal with the dinamic creatoin of tabs?

I am trying to create and remove tabs dynamically. Usually an activity
should be set for each tab created in TabSpec. But how to do it when
the tabs are created dynamically? Here I am using a frame layout to
display tab content. If I try to use the same activity by setting the
tab content, the text is getting overlapped. Here I have to read the
text from the EditText view and set it as the tab content and that
content should be shown whenever I navigate to that tab.

[android-developers] Re: Maximum character that we can send to SMS application.

Hi Marek,

Thanks for the information. But This I know. I think you misunderstood
my question.

Actually I am invoking SMS application from my app. I am sending some
text [which is around 300 characters] in sms_body. These characters
are being cut when SMS application is being invoked. I could find only
200 characters in the SMS app.

I want to know where is the limitation? Is this a framework
limitation?

I already pasted my code above.
Note: I am sending through Intent.ACTION_SEND

Anyways thanks for being generous and reply

[android-developers] Remap trackball coordinates in WebView

2010-03-23 Thread Alfonso

Hi everybody,

I need adjust trackball coordinates in a WebView object, so I extend
this class and override the onTrackballEvent method. Inside this new
method I adjust the MotionEvent coordinates (with setLocation) and I
call super.onTrackballEvent with the customized event. But the WebView
doesn't behave like expected. Actually, if I don't remap the
coordinates and I call super.onTrackballEvent with the unmodified
event it doesn't behave fine, exactly it doesn't react to left or
right movements of the trackball, although clicking it works. Is there
anybody who have achieved remapping trackball coordinates?

Advanced thanks.

This has been discussed in other threads, but there is still no good

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

Collecting a fee to unlock functionality or to buy virtual items is
not a technical problem. It is straightforward.

However, the Market Agreement severely limits developers' ability to
collect such a fee. It says all fees collected for the app must go
through the Market payment processor.

http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html

Buying another app from the Market seems the only clearly acceptable
solution. But that is not ideal. It perverts the definition of an
app and causes problems because of the refund policy.

Google, how are developers supposed to handle this situation? Or is
your intention that we simply not do this?

While lawyers may quarrel over the actual document, what is your
intent as it pertains to buying virtual items? For example, charging
$1 real money for 10 in-game gold?

What if only the front end of the game is distributed on the market,
and the features of the front end (the app) do not change with
additional fees? This may be splitting hairs but that's what happens
with legal documents, I suppose.

So what is the intention of the Market Agreement here? Did you intend
to prevent buying virtual items or not?

I would appreciate some clarification so I can proceed knowing the
spirit of the law, so to speak.

Thank you

Re: [android-developers] Game Developers: Some general questions about high scores, achievements, multi player support and in game ads.

Nikolay,

First of all, kudos to a great game!  It's one of the few that I go back to
over and over again.

Back to your post:
Great ideas here!  Your online scores idea is great for decreasing the
amount of cheating to almost 0.  However it seems like it has a lot of
overhead to recreate someones game.  Maybe not.  I guess it just depends on
how much logic you have to go through to recreate the game.  And, in a lot
of games, this approach wouldn't work very well, or could become clunky.
 But, for you game it seems to be working great.

In regards to not showing the online scores in game, why not use a webview
on your activity to pull in a mobile formatted webpage with the scores?
 That's how I pull in the online scores for my app and, sure, it takes a few
seconds to load the webview into an activity, but it's something like 1
second for an activity to load versus 3-5 seconds for the activity with a
webview to load.  You also bypass having to dump out to the browser to do
this.

In regards to the social aspects you recently implemented (facebook,
etc.)...was that much work to do?  I've been thinking about adding these
types of features into my app as well.  I'm only at the exploratory phase
currently though.  I'm not entirely sure what all I'll be getting into
there.

 Hey all,

 I am curious how the various groups of game developers, primarily mobile
 (android in this case) and cross-platform (android/iPhone/facebook) handle
 storing high scores, achievements, and such as well as how multi player is
 done.


 How does your game(s) access high scores, update the list, remove them if
 need be? The same would apply for achievements, and to a lesser degree,
 leader boards.


 Are you using a service out there that you pay for... if so how much does
 it cost.. and do they provide some sort of java/objective-c SDK that you can
 just plug in to your code?

 How do you dispaly high scores, leader boards, achievements, etc in your
 game? Do you provide your own web site with the same info, perhaps jazzed up
 a bit more or with more detail than your mobile game (due to limited screen
 realestate for mobile devices)? Do you provide a link to a web site in your
 game if they want to see things like high scores, achievements and leader
 boards?




 My game has a custom view to show the high scores in the game. I didn't
 like the web browser approach, because it gets the player out of the game,
 completely changes the UI he is used to and the loading time is terrible.
 The user experience is really bad this way. I have two high scores in the
 game - local and online. The local high scores are stored in a SQLite
 database and the remote are in PostgresSQL. I also show the high scores on
 the website and on a Facebook application. The difference between the 3
 types: The in-game high scores do not support searching (I just don't have
 the visual space to put a search input field, which I want). The website
 ranking supports searching, but otherwise is the same like the in-game one.
 The Facebook one is interesting. If you log-in the game using facebook
 connect, your facebook id is saved and this allows me to show a specific
 ranking based on you and your facebook friends, show their pictures, link to
 their profiles and so on.


 How do I send the scores to the server? I don't. That's how I prevent
 cheating. What I do is to send the player moves to the server and the server
 replays the game using the player moves. Checks if every move is according
 to the game rules and validates the game. If the game is valid, the server
 just extracts the scores out of its state and saves them. There are no high
 scores send over the network.



 I would also like to know what sort of things are most important for your
 games. High scores are so yesterday, so to speak. The latest craze in most
 games seems to be achievements and the ability to obtain extra items for
 your games, either by buying them, or earning them through achievements,
 etc. So what are some things you game developers would want to make use of
 in your game to add more appeal to your game, to draw in players for longer,
 especially long enough to pass the 48 hour refund time so that you can
 actually earn some money from your hard work. I look at games on Facebook
 like Farmville that are doing so well they are hiring more developers at
 good pay to work on it. I also look at games like World of Warcraft, which I
 play and got sucked into for a while, due to getting to that next level or
 getting that next awesome epic gear piece... those sorts of things seem to
 be what draws in players to otherwise simple games. A number of mobile games
 that seem to do very well often seem to be fairly simple games but offer
 that right mix of I just got to get to that next I am curious what

[android-developers] Re: Proper way of importing contacts to the device/contacts operations are very slow

2010-03-23 Thread cpphool

Hi!

Currently, I'm using HTC Magic (1.5) and Acer Liquid (1.6) to test the
app.

my sample code snippet for API  2.0:

for (int i = 0; i  100; i++) {
Log.d(TAG,iteracja  + i);
ContentValues personValues = new ContentValues();
personValues.put(Contacts.People.NAME, Test + i);
personValues.put(Contacts.People.STARRED, 0);
Uri newPersonUri =
Contacts.People.createPersonInMyContactsGroup(getContentResolver(),
personValues);
}


I did a few tests. Each time I changed NAME String in order to avoid
duplicates.

Results:
1) Acer Liquid (sync off) - 12 sec
2) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 30 sec
3) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 55 sec
4) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 35 sec
5) Acer Liquid (sync off) - 13 sec

1) HTC Magic (sync off) - 27 sec
2) HTC Magic (sync off) - stuck. log from logcat:

ERROR/CursorWindow(13459): need to grow: mSize = 1048576, size = 279,
freeSpace() = 162, numRows = 2789
ERROR/CursorWindow(13459): not growing since there are already 2789

ERROR/Cursor(13459): Failed allocating fieldDir at startPos 0 row 2788
DEBUG/Cursor(13459): finish_program_and_get_row_count row 2213

then I turned the sync off and my application started running again
(without restarting the app)!  took 30 sec to complete.

Even if we turn off sync on HTC Magic it takes a long time to simply
add empty contacts. Adding 5000 empty contacts (without any other
operations) would take 1500sec = 25min.

  Hi!

  I have some questions concerning importing contacts to the device,
  which is extremely slow.

  First of all, if you delete all your contacts, google sync will
  restore it very quickly. However, when my app is adding contacts to
  the device, it's very slow (a few contacts per second). Even if I add
  almost empty contacts (with name only), it is a time-consuming
  process.

  If I turn google sync off, importing 5000 contacts can take 1-2 hours
  (on HTC Magic). When google sync is on it can take up to 24hours. And
  this happens despite the fact, that application for the whole time is
  in the foreground, device is connected to charger and screen is on. I
  checked the logcat to make sure my app is adding the contacts the
  whole time, and it is.

  I tried different methods and different devices. The results differ of
  course, yet manually adding contacts is always significantly slower
  that google sync. Is there any way that I can speed up the process? So
  that importing 5000 contacts will take less than an hour.

[android-developers] Re: Application Crashing OutOfMemory .Restructuring Help Needed

There is no way anyone is going to actually browse more than a few
hundred item in a list. Ever !!

Jim is right : Search  Pagination.

If your users are dumb enough to asks the full list and you are
actually going to do it, then implements a list like the android
market and fetch a 100 items at a time.
I'm pretty sure if you use Flurry to check what your users are doing.
You'll find only one or two users sliding below 200 items.

And a user that asks you to get  30 000 items, is probably a
competitor that just wants to steal your database through your
webservice anyway :D

[android-developers] Sending lots of SMS

2010-03-23 Thread Nikhil Agarwal

I am working on an app that allows sending lots of text messages. I
have two questions:-

1) If I send too many messages together (around 80), only about 10
actually go and the rest fail in the first try. Do networks limit how
many sms can we send per second or something? Will pausing after every
sms help in this case?

2) I believe Android shows a dialog box if we send more than 100 sms
in an hour. I am sending SMS from a separate thread. Can Android block
that thread if there are too many SMS being sent?

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Being legally harassed, by a large iPhone developer

2010-03-23 Thread Patrick Noffke

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

I have some experience and have done some reading in this regard, however.
 Laws differ in each country, and if they were to sue you for trademark
infringement, they would have to do so in each country they wish for you to
stop selling your app or to pursue damages.

In the U.S., copyright law protects the original author/artist from others
copying the work or making a derivative work without permission.  The
definition of a derivative work is not clear to me.  With software, they
would have to show that you use some of their software (source code or
object code) without permission, e.g. by reverse engineering, linking some
of their libraries (such libraries not expressly permitting doing so), or
out right theft of their code.  With graphics, I don't know how they prove
it.  It's very subjective, and the commonality of pre-existing material
(e.g. an H used for a helo-pad) may work in your favor.

I would file for a copyright with the U.S. copyright office.  I think you
simply have to send them a copy of your work and fill out a registration
form.  If you have earlier records of when your work was first available, I
would hang on to those as well.  If you have a similar organization in your
country, then you should do the same there.  If you can do so in any country
your app is selling, then do that as well.

Unfortunately, they may decide to push ahead with lawsuits.  You should most
definitely consult with lawyers.  The initial consult may be free.
 Depending on the laws, if you win, you may be able to sue for court costs
and legal fees.

Best of luck!

Patrick

[android-developers] Re: In-App Purchasing and the Market Agreement

2010-03-23 Thread Warren

Disconnect, I don't think the market agreement is clear on this.

It is clear that if you charge for apps, the payment has to go through
the Market processor.

I'm talking about something different. In this scenario, the app
doesn't change and all functionality is still available to all users.
However, users can purchase virtual goods for use in the game (which
may also be attainable without purchase).

The reason I am asking is not to skirt the rules without being caught.
Just the opposite, I'm seeking clarification up front to avoid
misunderstanding. That is why I'm looking for Google's input on how to
proceed. This has got to be a very common issue. And clearing this up
would help a lot of developers.

I believe that selling virtual goods that can be used in an online
game app does not violate the agreement. I just want to get Google's
take.

hey,

  ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
  Uri uri;
  String id;
  ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver ();
  for (int i = 0; i  100; i++) {
   values.clear();
   values.put(People.NAME, Test + i);
   uri = cr.insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);
   id = uri.getLastPathSegment();
   People.addToMyContactsGroup(cr, Long.parseLong(id));

Log.d(TAG,iteracja  + i);

I did a few tests. Each time I changed NAME String in order to avoid
duplicates.

Results:
1) Acer Liquid (sync off) - 12 sec
2) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 30 sec
3) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 55 sec
4) Acer Liquid (sync on) - 35 sec
5) Acer Liquid (sync off) - 13 sec

1) HTC Magic (sync off) - 27 sec
2) HTC Magic (sync off) - stuck. log from logcat:

ERROR/CursorWindow(13459): need to grow: mSize = 1048576, size = 279,

then I turned the sync off and my application started running again
(without restarting the app)! took 30 sec to complete.

Even if we turn off sync on HTC Magic it takes a long time to simply
add empty contacts. Adding 5000 empty contacts (without any other
operations) would take 1500sec = 25min.

Hi!
I have some questions concerning importing contacts to the device,
which is extremely slow.
First of all, if you delete all your contacts, google sync will
restore it very quickly. However, when my app is adding contacts to
the device, it's very slow (a few contacts per second). Even if I add
almost empty contacts (with name only), it is a time-consuming
process.
If I turn google sync off, importing 5000 contacts can take 1-2 hours
(on HTC Magic). When google sync is on it can take up to 24hours. And
this happens despite the fact, that application for the whole time is
in the foreground, device is connected to charger and screen is on. I
checked the logcat to make sure my app is adding the contacts the
whole time, and it is.
I tried different methods and different devices. The results differ of
course, yet manually adding contacts is always significantly slower
that google sync. Is there any way that I can speed up the process? So
that importing 5000 contacts will take less than an hour.

It's not a matter of thread or activity, it's in the sms controller
that the limit is set. So I don't think you can find a work around.

If this this kind of game is as ubiquitous as you say, just find a

the same kind of gameplay, alerts and all and which is not theirs and
older than their release.

Then just point that game out to them.

  Is there any way to display all the process IDs to a user?

  I think to display the current ID can use the following code:

  But how do I display all process IDs?

[android-developers] Deleting An Application with ContentProvider Other Applications not working

2010-03-23 Thread Rajiv

Hi all
I have a problem to uninstalling the product in android.
I have used *ContentProvider* to share data in multiple applications. I
used  in Android Manifest file
 *provider android:name=Provider
 android:authorities=com.sky.android.project.projectname/
*
 and uri in Provider Class file
 Uri uri = com.sky.android.project.projectname/data

 It is working fine to Insert, delete and update in the application.

In other application I have used the

 Uri allTitles = Uri.parse(com.sky.android.project.projectname/data);
 to fetch the data.

 It is working fine.

 But when i uninstall one of the application other applications using same
Uri(com.sky.android.project.projectname/data) are not working.

 I got the Error message while loading the applications are:
* java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot determine device identification
*
I have also tried this with shared user ID but it also not working.

Let me know how to overcome with these situation, Or any other way to share
the data.

Regards,
Rajiv

[android-developers] Re: GPS Queueing in LocationListener

2010-03-23 Thread JFrog

Rough, yeah.  I'll have to look into the best way to throw out
inaccurate values.  Otherwise the application tends to look a bit ugly
(inertial navigation).  For instance, if I walk by a window while my
application is estimating movements on its own and happens to get a
gps signal for a moment or two, then all of a sudden I get one or two
inaccurate dots come on the screen and my estimated movement for where
the droid is will start at that new GPS location.

At first I thought perhaps I would throw away a couple of initial
values, but it doesn't seem as though there is a consistent number of
bad results before receiving a good one.  I'll see if there is a way
to wait for a fine grained result related to triggering the
onLocationChanged segment.  Perhaps I can even put up a range zone
around my estimated value, and as long as its close I can throw away
any GPS that fall outside that range.  That's my current thoughts.

Thanks for the input Mike.

first time.  Therefore, if we code something up as cleverly as
possible, we are by definition not smart enough to debug it

A few clarifying comments to Yahel:

Yahel wrote:

There is no way anyone is going to actually browse more than a few
hundred item in a list. Ever !!


I guess it depends what the items are, but in my particular tree 95% of 
the lists are quite short and being sortabel should help a lot to get 
the particular PART of the list you are after.



Jim is right : Search  Pagination.


In my case, that was already there. A nice side effect is that it is now 
easy to get a list of other products in the same category.



If your users are dumb enough to asks the full list and you are
actually going to do it, then implements a list like the android
market and fetch a 100 items at a time.


Done done. (T-50 days)


I'm pretty sure if you use Flurry to check what your users are doing.
You'll find only one or two users sliding below 200 items.


No need for FlurryCO - it is trivial to see in the web service log.


And a user that asks you to get  30 000 items, is probably a
competitor that just wants to steal your database through your
webservice anyway :D


Nah, 3 was just the extreme case. The data is freely available 
anyway and it is continously updated, so stealing it is hardly an issue. 
The point of my app is to make is easily accessible on the phone (well, 
along with using GPS and barcode scanning etc to make it even more 
powerful).

At first glance, section 3.3:

be processed by the Market’s Payment Processor.

All fees. (And unless you have a weird contract with google checkout, your
standard account is unlikely to do that 70/30 split, pay the carriers, etc -
so its not the -market- payment processor.)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Being legally harassed, by a large iPhone developer

Here's an idiots guide to copyright from the US copyright office:

http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.pdf

Great info on their general site as well:
http://www.copyright.gov

Brief synopsis from the PDF (please read the whole thing to interpret your
own way):

Who Can Claim Copyright?
Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is cre ated in fixed
form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the
property of the author who cre ated the work. Only the author or those
deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright.

So basically, filing a copyright claim with the US copyright office is
basically a formality in my un-copyright-educated opinion.  It's a good
thing to do in order to cover your ass though.  I've been thinking about
doing this with all of my apps just as a formality if I think anything will
come of them.

  System.out.println(Info +info[i]);
 
if(info[i].equals(PackageManager.FEATURE_TOUCHSCREEN_MULTITOUCH)){
  manufacturer =true;
  Log.e(appVersion, ---+manufacturer);
   return manufacturer;

I don't know what your app is, but for mine (tracking skiing/riding, etc)
I just filter out points with horizontal accuracy  100m. This works
just fine for me because I'm interested in the overall dataset, but
I'm not terribly real time sensitive. But I also do some post-processing
to deal with outliers like looking for silly velocities and accelerations.
I had looked into smoothing the data with Kalman filtering, but it
turned out that it wasn't necessary even though it would probably
do a pretty good job.


At first I thought perhaps I would throw away a couple of initial
values, but it doesn't seem as though there is a consistent number of
bad results before receiving a good one.  I'll see if there is a way

The hdop and vdop are your friends :) Google them as it's the
GPS measures that eventually get translated into meter-based
accuracy. The bad results are based on the satellite constellation
at the time, where the GPS signal processing state is, and of
course noise like multipath, etc. In normal terrestrial environs
it's just a fact of life that the accuracy is going to better at some
times than others. Adjust accordingly.

Mike

That is legal or business advice compared to technical QA, which is
the purpose of this list and the role of the Googlers on it.

 That is not an unreasonable request, and if this is not the venue in
 which to ask for such a clarification, then how exactly are developers
 supposed to go about getting such clarification?

The only people in position to answer that sort of policy question will
be the executives in charge of Android.

Hence, either you have the personal connections to ask the question of
an executive at a multi-billion-dollar firm, or you don't. If you do,
use them. If you don't, you either live without the answer or you find
some way to get those connections (e.g., form a cooperative with a
thousand other leading Android developers and get negotiating clout that
way).

The most you will get from asking the question here is that a Googler
*may* mention to an executive that people are asking this sort of
question. This *may* trigger some sort of blog post or similar
announcement on the topic *eventually*. However, that will not be quick,
and I don't get the impression that the OP was expecting that sort of
delay. You're not going to get a conversational response on questions
like that here the way you might get a response regarding questions on
garbage collection.

 Just implementing a feature and seeing what happens is a risky and
 less-than-ideal course of action.

Indubitably. And I'm not dismissing the question, or the interest in
in-app payments.

Asking the question here, though, is akin to asking a Toyota automotive
engineer how their firm intends to respond to the various lawsuits and
government inquiries surrounding the recent spate of security defects in
their cars. That's not the engineer's area of expertise or authority.

If this this kind of game is as ubiquitous as you say, just find a
game (web, flash, iphone, nokia, java, really any platform) that uses
the same kind of gameplay, alerts and all and which is not theirs and
older than their release.

Then just point that game out to them.
   


This sounds like a bad idea -- all you're likely to be doing is
feeding the troll.

Seriously, the right thing to do here is ask for advise from an
expert. The advise you get here is likely to be as useful as going
to a lawyer and asking him about the Android SDK.

Very valid and probably the best piece of advice so far! :)

But, it is still nice to get other points of view and pointers to resources
before you head into the belly of the beast.  You can never have too much
information IMHO.

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in various device?


I believe you can safely assume that devices prior to Android 2.x do
not support multitouch. So I'd catch the exception and conclude
there's no multitouch.

[android-developers] Re: Application Crashing OutOfMemory .Restructuring Help Needed

Hey Jonathan,

 A few clarifying comments to Yahel

Sorry, my answer was not really meant at you directly, more to the
original poster :)
Your app seems successful and to work the way you want so I wouldn't
dare tell I can do best :D

 I guess it depends what the items are, but in my particular tree 95% of
 the lists are quite short and being sortabel should help a lot to get
 the particular PART of the list you are after.

Still, even if it was a single letter or numbers, 1 000 entries is
just too much on a 3.2'' screen and for the resources of a mobile
device.
I strongly believe developers are here to take decisions on behalf of
their users.

If your users can try to call for 30 000 entries and generate a OOM
then you are not doing your job.
And since I'm mean and everything I'm going to the market right now to
download your app and asks for the 30 000 items and then post a your
app sucks/One star rating :D
I'm just kidding I wouldn't do that :D


 No need for FlurryCO - it is trivial to see in the web service log.

And so what is the result ? How many of your users scroll down the 500
item mark ?

What is your app by the way ?

Yahel

  Jim is right : Search  Pagination.

 In my case, that was already there. A nice side effect is that it is now
 easy to get a list of other products in the same category.

  If your users are dumb enough to asks the full list and you are
  actually going to do it, then implements a list like the android
  market and fetch a 100 items at a time.

 Done done. (T-50 days)

  I'm pretty sure if you use Flurry to check what your users are doing.
  You'll find only one or two users sliding below 200 items.

 No need for FlurryCO - it is trivial to see in the web service log.

  And a user that asks you to get  30 000 items, is probably a
  competitor that just wants to steal your database through your
  webservice anyway :D

 Nah, 3 was just the extreme case. The data is freely available
 anyway and it is continously updated, so stealing it is hardly an issue.
 The point of my app is to make is easily accessible on the phone (well,
 along with using GPS and barcode scanning etc to make it even more
 powerful).

                         Best / Jonas

[android-developers] Re: Multitouch support in various device?

Let me refine this - no support for multitouch meaning that can be
exploited in a meaningful way. There's been demos with modded ROMs but
on an app level it doesn't seem to make sense to try to chase after
that in anything prior to Android 2.x

As with many things, it's quality not quantity :) Seriously, over the years
what I've found is that what most of us know about the law is skin deep.
What this guy is going through is quite probably complete bs, but that
doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to defend himself.
