As per another thread, I do feel there is a relationship to:

GLUtils.texImage2D( GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);

involved as well.  but to give a little example, this works in google
api 3:

glGenTextures()  // allocate texture Ids

// prep an individual texture
glBindTexture( an id we got from glGenTextures()
GLUtils.texImage2D( GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bitmap, 0);
gl.glTexParameterf( GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,
GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE );


So, again, in 1.5 that works fine for all textures (total set is about
20 textures).

But in 1.6, about half of those textures end up rendering all white.
And if I enable debugging:

setDebugFlags( DEBUG_CHECK_GL_ERROR | DEBUG_LOG_GL_CALLS );

Then I get a GL check error in the call to

   gl.glTexParameterf( GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S,
GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE );

But I get that error for every texture, not just the ones that render
white with debugging turned off.

if I remove the texParameter call, then I get an error in whatever the
next thing I do with that texture handle is.  But if I remove
the GLUtils() call, then I get no errors at all (but all textures are
white).  But it doesn't complain about the handles.

So, it's like some calls to GLUtils.texImage2D() manage to corrupt
things enough to screw up subsequent calls.  (though it's not the
source bitmaps, I can scramble those and the error tracks the texture
Id, not the bitmap)

But, others have complained about GLUtils, and the fact that the
GLUtil call generates no logging whatsoever makes me wonder if there
is some context violation there.  (and maybe the gl error is just a
red herring due to GLUTil not going through the same wrapper code that
the debugging turns on.)

ANYWAY, since I had nothing better to waste two hours on in the sweaty
102 degree heat... I converted the code to load the pixels into
directallocated byte buffers and use the raw glTexImage2D function
instead.  So now I don't use GLUtils at all, and...

it fails in exactly the same way.

Eventually I will be frustrated enough to return to api 3, I imagine.
But it's got to be something extremely simple.

 For what it's worth, I started having the identical problem this
 evening, after changing my app to use API4 instead of API3 (where the
 glGenTextures() was working fine)

 Now I get the exact same list of goofy texture Ids when I use my phone
 (Droid 2.1), but it's fine in the emulator.

 At first I thought maybe it was unhappy with an int[] and really was
 starting to insist on an IntBuffer, but nope...

 Now, API4 brings GL11 to play, and I am still using all the GL10
 constants, and

         setDebugFlags( DEBUG_CHECK_GL_ERROR | DEBUG_LOG_GL_CALLS );

 (which I also turned on this evening) is still giving me some other
 complaints... so I am going to work through those in the emulator and
 see if it fixes the glGenTextures() on its own.  The emulator is just
 so painfully slow in GL, it's sort of a drag :-)

 And I really don't want to have to sift through for positive
 values  my code is all clean and neat at the moment and I hate to
 bend it in that way...

Re: [android-developers] Call a service hosted in a windows service from Android

Hello!
Yes you did undertand the issue, and i tried what u said yesterday and it

using soap and http protocole like this :

try {
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
request.addProperty(value, 2);

new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.
dotNet=true; envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
androidHttpTransport.call(
SOAP_ACTION, envelope); SoapObject result =
(SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();
} catch (Exception e) {
}

Thx

2010/6/3 Brad Gies rbg...@gmail.com

It should work fine using localhost for the service address. Just use the
real IP address of your machine when calling the service from Android.

Are you calling it from the emulator or from a cell phone? How are you
connected to your PC from your Android app? I just want to be sure I am
understanding what you are doing. If I understand correctly, your WCF
service is on your PC and you can access it using your browser (also on your
PC) using localhost. When you call the WCF service from Android you are not
finding it, or it's not returning. If that's the case then from a Windows
command line prompt do ipconfig /all, find your machines IP address (in my
case it's 192.168.1.103 and use that instead of localhost when you are
calling the service from your Android app.

If I'm misunderstanding, please clarify :).

Good luck.

[android-developers] Re: Two articles on Android app development

2010-06-04 Thread mort

 The experience I shared there was practical - and there are times and
 requirements when you do need to start a service at the boot time, and
 it's really better to run it in a separate process. For example, any
 mail-like application would have such requirements.

Autostart might be useful, but usually the service doesn't need to run
all the time. I'd stop the service after retrieving mail (unless it's
bound, i.e. an activity is visible, of course) and use AlarmManager to
schedule the next update. OK, push mail might be a different story...

However in my experience, many users don't check running services
but use task managers, where services are listed once they ran to
handle a broadcast and are stopped for ages, so you'd get complaints
about always running services anyway. ;)

 It's probably the
 simplicity of the functionality of that small example that makes the
 chosen architecture look a bit overshot.

Partly that, partly because of the huge amount of misunderstandings in
several other blogs, books and forums, partly because of weird
behaviour on some devices and/or older Android versions. E.g. I had
some troubles with local services that were suspended when the
activity of the same app was left (yes, I did startService before
bindService - pretty mean pitfall for beginners btw.), so I did a
remote service. Now it works as local service as well, I assume
android:exported=true did the trick...

 Now, I would be happy to hear something about the loopers and the
 handlers. :)

Just one note: I think Services do have internal Loopers as well, not
just the UI thread.

[android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()

hi Sean Hodges,

it's working correctly. and is there a way to achieve this thing using
startActivity()???

Starting Activity B like this

startActivity(intent);

so when i press back button from Activity B i'm doing this

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
finish();
return true;
}
return false;
}

and i don't want to redirect to the Activity A. i just want to send it
to another activity. is this possible???

regards,
Mike

[android-developers] Stop mobile modem

2010-06-04 Thread arnouf

Hi all,

I search for a long time to stop the mobile modem (to restart it
later).
In this group, I watch some thread indicating a reference to APNdroid.
Apparently it works changing the APN (name or other information) to
cut the connection.

Is there only this way? WifiManager has its own method to turn off.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()

Mike,

You need to think of activities like a stack of cards. If you open
one, it will be placed on top of the pack. So if you want to open a
new activity from Activity B, just do use startActivity() as normal.

Activity A --- Activity B -- Activity C

When you close Activity C, do a setResult(RESULT_CANCELLED) followed
by finish() just like I described for Activity B. Activity B will
handle the onActivityResult(), where you tell it to do the same thing
again. This way you are popping the activities off the stack
one-by-one, when there are no more activities left, the app will
close. To the user, this will appear as though Activity A and Activity
B had been closed when Activity C opened.

Your second option, which I did not think of before, is to add the
android:noHistory=true attribute to Activity A and Activity B in
your AndroidManifest.xml. I don't have much experience with this flag,
but my understanding is that it will close the current activity when
another one is opened. The first approach will give you more control,
but this attribute might be simpler:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist

If I'm on the wrong track here, perhaps you could describe what you
want step-by-step. At the moment, it sounds like you want the stack to
have just one activity at all times.


Cheers,

Sean

I am waiting a few minutes. long enough I think, specially considering
that, as I mentioned before, other apps like Google Maps get a fix
after just a few seconds. So it shouldn't be a matter of waiting, I
guess there has to be something I am doing wrong, thou I'm unable to
find what.

Oh and I'm trying it outdoors, shouldn't be a signal strength related

Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

These are basically some ISO jargon, that we are going to replace with
friendlier words very soon.

Basically, iso3166_1 refers to country codes, and iso3166_2 refers to
country subdivision codes (regions/cities etc).
So it's 2 additional ways of filtering scores. As for how iso3166_1
differs from your Country, I think your Country is based on the
user's input on their player profile, while iso3166 is based on
detection.
I'll verify this for you.

By the way, we've also got a nice support forum up

 There is a standard selection widget for the leaderboard type, which
 lets you refine the scores. By default, I get:

 - Global Leaderboard
 - Your Country Leaderboard
 - 24h Leaderboard
 - search_list.nationality_iso3166_1
 - search_list.nationality_iso3166_2

 What on earth are the last two items? This list seems to come from
 ScoreLoop, rather than being anything configurable in the xml. I only
 want the first three in the list, is there anyway I can set this
 somewhere?

 I notice that other games that use ScoreLoop (like Jewels for example)
 only have the first three items also.

 Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Android graphical capabilities

2010-06-04 Thread Neilz

For me, anything that shows how to do something different from the
standard API demos would be great.

Such as, when you start a new activity, changing the way it loads...
rather than just sliding across the screen, it could spiral out from
the center, or flip over from the right. That kind of thing.

Also, how do you handle your splash screens? For example, in your
tutorial app, it starts with a splash screen with some small animation
on it - just as most high profile games do. What's the best way to
handle that?

Thanks again Anders.

[android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()

hi Sean,

this is what i have done.

i Have 3 activities. Activity A, Activity B, and Activity C.

Activity A is the starting Activity.

according to a user action Activity A will navigate to Activity B like
this.
finish();
startActivityForResult(Activity B, 102);

Activity A -- Activity B

after 5 seconds Activity B will starts Activity C

StartActivity(Activity C)

and will not finish Activity B.

on top of Activity B, Activity C will be run.

this is Activity C onCreate method

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
msg_id = b.getLong(ID);

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
setContentView(R.layout.blur_blue);
}


this is manifest.xml

activity android:name=.Activity C android:theme=@style/
Theme.Blue/

this is my theme.xml

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
drawable name=Blue#77ff/drawable
drawable name=Green#7700ff00/drawable
drawable name=Purple#70970468/drawable
drawable name=Pink#70de6496/drawable
drawable name=Red#7f00/drawable
drawable name=Orange#70ff7e00/drawable
drawable name=Yellow#70fff000/drawable
/resources

so Activity C will run on top of Activity B.

so when i pressed back button from activity C

application should redirects to Activity A.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
finish();
finishActivity(102);
startActivity(new Intent(Acitivyt C, Activity A ));
return true;
}
return false;
}

Application redirects to Activity A and when i pressed back from
Activity A

again it redirects to Activity B and will not close the application.

this is what i'm doing in Activity A

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
boolean b = false;
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
// int x = android.os.Process.SIGNAL_QUIT;
finish();
finishActivity(102);
}
return b;

[android-developers] Open native Maps with directions??

2010-06-04 Thread guruk

Hi,
I open my Native Google Maps like:


Uri uri = Uri.parse(geo:0,0?q=Boston);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
uri);
startActivity(intent);

That works fine! BUT... how to open it with a direction request like
q=Boston+to:+Washington

that works fine in google maps
http://maps.google.com/?q=boston+to:+washington

but doesnt do anything when I try to do the same with the native App
on my Android Device!?

thx
chris

[android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()

hi Sean,

this is what i have done.

i Have 3 activities. Activity A, Activity B, and Activity C.

Activity A is the starting Activity.

according to a user action Activity A will navigate to Activity B like
this.
finish();
startActivityForResult(Activity B, 102);

Activity A -- Activity B

after 5 seconds Activity B will starts Activity C

StartActivity(Activity C)

and will not finish Activity B.

on top of Activity B, Activity C will be run.

this is Activity C onCreate method

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
msg_id = b.getLong(ID);
 
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND,
 
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
setContentView(R.layout.blur_blue);
}

this is manifest.xml

activity android:name=.Activity C android:theme=@style/
Theme.Blue/

this is my theme.xml

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
resources
drawable name=Blue#77ff/drawable
drawable name=Green#7700ff00/drawable
drawable name=Purple#70970468/drawable
drawable name=Pink#70de6496/drawable
drawable name=Red#7f00/drawable
drawable name=Orange#70ff7e00/drawable
drawable name=Yellow#70fff000/drawable
/resources

so Activity C will run on top of Activity B.

so when i pressed back button from activity C

application should redirects to Activity A.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
finish();
finishActivity(102);
startActivity(new Intent(Acitivyt C, Activity
A ));
return true;
}
return false;
}

Application redirects to Activity A and when i pressed back from
Activity A

again it redirects to Activity B and will not close the application.

this is what i'm doing in Activity A

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
boolean b = false;
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
// int x = android.os.Process.SIGNAL_QUIT;
finish();
finishActivity(102);
}
return b;
}

so Sean what do you think?? what can be done.

regards,
Mike

Ivan wrote:
 The experience I shared there was practical - and there are times and
 requirements when you do need to start a service at the boot time, and
 it's really better to run it in a separate process. For example, any
 mail-like application would have such requirements.

There is absolutely no reason why the activity for a mail client would
need to run in a separate process from the service handling the mail
protocol. By using android:process=:remote, you are going to force those
to be in separate processes unnecessarily, consuming a lot of extra RAM
along the way.

With respect to having the service component of a mail application run
forever, I would really recommend polling at least as a option for users
who do not wish your service to attempt to run forever.

[android-developers] Adding data in a tree to a ContentProvider

2010-06-04 Thread Vikram

At the application level, my data is of the form
* Event
 * Contact List
  * Contact
   * Name
   * Email
  * Contact
   * Name
   * Email

The number of contacts is not predefined. Any thoughts on how to push
this into a ContentProvider in one go? I basically dont want my
application to worry about the hierarchy and bulk insert or something,
I want to hand this responsibility over to the ContentProvider.

   /RelativeLayout
   /ScrollView

 AccountActivity

  //package

  public class AccountActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener,

  private EditText userNameEditText;
  private EditText passwordEditText;

  private Button validateAccountButton;

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

   setContentView(R.layout.account);

  userNameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.email);
  passwordEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);

  validateAccountButton = (Button)
 findViewById(com.skyscape.packageajccsevenektwondata.android.voucher.ui.R.id.validate);
  validateAccountButton.setOnClickListener(this);

  }


  public void onClick(View view) {
  if (view == validateAccountButton) {
validate();
  }
  }

  protected void validate() {
 //Validate your Account
  }

  public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
   return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

  }

 If you implement in this way, i think you will got your desired result.
 Let me know if you still have doubt.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()

OK Mike, so reading carefully through your explanation, it looks to me
that the process you want is this:

A - B - C - A - (app close)

Whilst what you are actually getting, with your current code, is this:

A - B - C - A - A - B - (unknown)

The complex nature of your activity jumping suggests that the code is
simply too complex. I suggest you replace all the onKeyDown() and
startActivityForResult() handling for something like this:


Activity A


// This code goes in the correct method of Activity A to start Activity B
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityA, ActivityB));


Activity B


// This code goes in the correct method of Activity B to start Activity C
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityB, ActivityC));

// Set the noHistory attribute for Activity B in your AndroidManifest.xml
activity android:name=ActivityB android:noHistory=true.../activity


Activity C


// This code goes in the correct method of Activity C to jump back to Activity A
finish();


The outcome should be the navigation you are looking for. Activity B
is skipped when you press the back button from Activity C. Pressing
the back button again will close the application.


Cheers,

Sean

 hi Sean,

 this is what i have done.

 i Have 3 activities. Activity A, Activity B, and Activity C.

 Activity A is the starting Activity.

 according to a user action Activity A will navigate to Activity B like
 this.
 finish();
 startActivityForResult(Activity B, 102);

 Activity A -- Activity B

 after 5 seconds Activity B will starts Activity C

 StartActivity(Activity C)

 and will not finish Activity B.

 on top of Activity B, Activity C will be run.

 this is Activity C onCreate method

       �...@override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
                msg_id = b.getLong(ID);

 getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND,

 WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
                setContentView(R.layout.blur_blue);
        }

 this is manifest.xml

        activity android:name=.Activity C android:theme=@style/
 Theme.Blue/

 this is my theme.xml

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 resources
 drawable name=Blue#77ff/drawable
 drawable name=Green#7700ff00/drawable
 drawable name=Purple#70970468/drawable
 drawable name=Pink#70de6496/drawable
 drawable name=Red#7f00/drawable
 drawable name=Orange#70ff7e00/drawable
 drawable name=Yellow#70fff000/drawable
 /resources

 so Activity C will run on top of Activity B.

 so when i pressed back button from activity C

 application should redirects to Activity A.

       �...@override
        public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
                    finish();
                    finishActivity(102);
                    startActivity(new Intent(Acitivyt C, Activity
 A ));
                        return true;
                }
                return false;
        }

 Application redirects to Activity A and when i pressed back from
 Activity A

 again it redirects to Activity B and will not close the application.

 this is what i'm doing in Activity A

       �...@override
        public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                boolean b = false;
                if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
                        // int x = android.os.Process.SIGNAL_QUIT;
                        finish();
                        finishActivity(102);
                }
                return b;
        }

 so Sean what do you think?? what can be done.

 regards,
 Mike

[android-developers] How to get the screen lock status

2010-06-04 Thread ubuntu_user

Hi All,
I am looking for a method to get the current screen lock status. I
would like to know if it is locked or not. I have a live wall paper
that only need to work if the screen is unlock (i.e. full display is
on), otherwise, it should be just blank.

Thanks,
Sorry if this is a newbie question.

Watch for ACTION_SCREEN_ON and ACTION_SCREEN_OFF broadcast Intents.

Or, for Android 2.1 devices and newer, use isScreenOn() in PowerManager.

I realize that this is not necessarily identical to the screen lock
status, but it is as close as you are going to get, AFAICT.

Let me get this straight - you want to force a popup dialog in front of the
user's current activity after they've made the deliberate decision to
navigate away from your app?

Why, exactly, would you want to do this?

You should just reimplement 
WallpaperService::Engine::onVisibilityChanged(bool) inside your live 
wallpaper's engine - this will tell you when wallpaper gets shown/hidden.

It's better to use this method, because you don't need to do anything not only 
if screen is locked, but e.g. when some other app starts and wallpaper isn't 
visible.

onVisibilityChanged is exactly what you need  in this case :)

See 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/WallpaperService.Engine.html#onVisibilityChanged(boolean)

[android-developers] How does a held wakelock impact if the service dies with out releasing it?

2010-06-04 Thread Satya Komatineni

Scenario:

1. Broadcast Receiver holds a static wake lock hoping the service it
started, when it finishes will release the lock
2. Howvever Service dies with out releasing the wake lock?

What is likely to happen?

I am assuming the process will be stopped after calling the
onDestory() of the service, and I am hoping the device will go to
sleep ignoring the held wake lock.

Or does the call to onDestroy() delayed because of the wakelock
although the service called stopSelf()

Re: [android-developers] How does a held wakelock impact if the service dies with out releasing it?

Wake locks should be released when the object is garbage collected.
See the finalize() method in the WakeLock subclass here:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/os/PowerManager.java

You will get a thrown exception in your logs if this occurs.

So, as long as your Service is no longer referenced in memory (e.g. it
has been destroyed), the wakelock should be released. Obviously this
should not be the behaviour by design :)

[android-developers] Re: HTC Incredible suffering a reset while service running.

I haven't even used a wakelock yet, so I don't think a wakelock is the
problem.

I've thought of using a brief wakelock around a single file download.
But I also think that users can leave the phone plugged in if they
want the download to complete soon.

 I am not sure about the exact reason but I feel it was because of
 mishandling of partial wakelock. Like your app, I had a service which
 remained active all time and for that I had to hold on to the
 wakelock. The phone did not restart if I commented out my wakelock
 code. Interesting thing is it never restarted untill I tried to change
 call forward setting or use car navigator app (thankfully, this was
 observed when we tested the app for any kind of conflicts) .Then I
 realised that I should not hold on to the wakelock for long,  to avoid
 conflicts. When I went the AlarmManager way all conflicts vanished.
 Are you holding on to wakelock? If you are, you may try commenting out
 that part and keep your app active until download is complete so that
 you don't loose network connection. Just perform few tests with the
 wakelock thing hopefully you should get the answer. You may have to
 split your file download into batches so that you can release the
 wakelock.

   I had similar issue long time back when I had implemented the service

   1. My phone (Nexus One) used to restart (with my service running in

   to use the google car navigator app.
   2. The phone did not restart if it was plugged into a computer. (May
   be related to network connectivity.)

   I tried all kind of stuff the only way I was able to get my app
   working was by referring to Mark Murphy's wakefulintentservice
   structure which uses the alarm manager.

  Thanks.

  Did you find out why the restart was triggered? Or did you simply
  managed to avoid it? Was it because of many notifications, or just the
  fact that it was running for long time, or that Android tried to kill
  it?

  The alarm manager isn't appropriate for this task, at least I don't
  think so, because it is not a service that wakes up periodically and
  does some work.

  It has a defined list of files to download and then finishes, but it
  is actively working all that time.

Re: [android-developers] Re: glGenTextures going crazy on actual device

2010-06-04 Thread Leigh McRae

Try and generate only one texture id at a time and see what happens.  
You never know.  From what I am getting, it seems like the texture 
you're uploading isn't valid for the context somehow.  Unfortunately 
OpenGL error checking can be hard since it was meant to be really light 
weight.  It could be that a previous state has caused a problem that 
only shows up when a texture is actually being used.


So far my experience with OpenGL on Android is that the context choosing 
is really bad.  I would have something that dumps out all the config 
attributes for the context that you create and see if something is 
fishy.  Be 100% sure that your gl and egl calls have all passed.  It 
sounds like you're using GLSurfaceView and IMHO I wouldn't.  I wrote my 
own support so that I could have full control and didn't have to rely on 
things being bug free.  It's also not very portable.

[android-developers] Re: glGenTextures going crazy on actual device

2010-06-04 Thread Lance Nanek

If I take a default API level 3 app, load the icon using
BitmapFactory.decodeResource, and check Bitmap#getWidth and
Bitmap#getHeight, then I get the values of 48 on the Droid. Now if I
set android:minSdkVersion to 4 or higher in the manifest, then I get
the values of 72. This is because changing the API level changes the
default values for the screens supported:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html

It takes the app out of compatibility mode, where Android reports a
smaller screen resolution than actually exists, and it starts scaling
up resources from directories like the drawable directory, which is
considered medium density when there is no density specifier, not high
density.

So anyway, depending on how you are storing and loading the images you
are using for your textures, changing the API level may be causing
Android to resize them. Textures have to have power of 2 size
dimensions, so this resize can make an image that can be used as a
texture into an image that can't be used. It's pretty easy to prevent
the resizing, there are previous threads on that.

org.openintents.audio.action_volume_update bradcast intent:

http://www.openintents.org/en/node/380

That should allow you to detect changes in the volume setting
(including the button presses).

[android-developers] Re: Creating an Android VN

2010-06-04 Thread Lance Nanek

Overlapping things in Android is pretty trivial. For example, when you
put multiple children in a FrameLayout, they are all shown on top of
each other as per the documentation:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/FrameLayout.html

Another method is the Toast utility for showing text messages on top
of everything else:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html

And of course dialogs are another way to show a window of content on
top of another screen:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html

It isn't far enough along that I've put any effort into cleaning up
the code/XML, but you can see the FrameLayout method being used to
compose layers of a character and controls here:
http://code.google.com/p/growing-phone-pet/source/browse/trunk/res/layout/show_pet.xml

There's a FrameLayout there explicitly, but the PetView that is
composing the different images that make up the scenery and character
is also a subclass of FrameLayout.

There was a thread last year on the topic of being able to intercept

I believe the general consensus was that there is no such facility and

[android-developers] determining if phone is rooted

2010-06-04 Thread jgostylo

I have an Android game where location is very important to the rules.
There have been a bunch of cheaters and I have spent a long time
closing off the ways that they exploit the system to cheat.  One way
they have been cheating is using a location spoofing app.  I tried
shutting that off by seeing if Allow mock locations is set to true
and if it is I won't let the game run.

After some research I see that rooted phones can run the location
spoofing app without having to set allow mock locations.  I want to be
able to determine if the phone is rooted so I can add extra checks to
make sure that they are not spoofing their location.  The only
suggestion I have seen to do this is to check to see if /system/bin/su
exists.  I don't think this is a reliable way to do this but it is all
I have so far.

Can anyone suggest any other ways to determine if the phone is a
rooted phone?

Lance,

That sounds pretty plausible.  I did notice that api4 suddently

 It takes the app out of compatibility mode, where Android reports a

 So anyway, depending on how you are storing and loading the images you
 are using for your textures, changing the API level may be causing
 Android to resize them. Textures have to have power of 2 size
 dimensions, so this resize can make an image that can be used as a
 texture into an image that can't be used. It's pretty easy to prevent
 the resizing, there are previous threads on that.

Thanks for your response. However, as you can see the moment the user
wake up the screen but before the user slide the lock key, I would
like to know if the phone is in this state or not. As far as I can
tell, the onVisibilityChanged will send me a true status as soon as

API that I can tell if the phone has been unlocked (after user slide
the lock button over).

 You should just reimplement
 WallpaperService::Engine::onVisibilityChanged(bool) inside your live
 wallpaper's engine - this will tell you when wallpaper gets shown/hidden.

 It's better to use this method, because you don't need to do anything not only
 if screen is locked, but e.g. when some other app starts and wallpaper isn't
 visible.

 onVisibilityChanged is exactly what you need  in this case :)

 Seehttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/wallpaper/Wall...)

[android-developers] Re: glGenTextures going crazy on actual device

Lance, (and everyone)

Thank you so much!  That was exactly it.  All I had to do was rename
my drawables folder to drawables-nodpi (and I did a full rebuild just
to be nice) and now everything is back to normal, with api 4 in place.

Of course, now I have to decide if I want to support higher rez
screens at the expense of frame rate or not.  It's so PRETTY, but it's
at least 50% slower.  :)

Again, I was really pulling my hair out on this.  Of course it might
have been NICE if the GL Error Check actually mentioned it didn't feel
the texture was a power of two.  I, of course, just knew that it was,
so I never logged a getWidth() on it.  It's still a little odd that
some textures were happier than others, but I imagine that is
something to do with which wrong-sized-texture stepped on the memory
of which other. :-)

Once again, thank you!

[android-developers] How to custom format text in EditText

2010-06-04 Thread Jim

I'm just starting to drink from the fire hose that is android.  For my
first project I would like to have an EditText field for numeric input
that will automatically reformat the input as the user types to
something like:

#,##0.00

as the user types in the value.  I can't seen to find the right place
to add the code, I thought something like:

EditText edittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.num_input);
edittext.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent 
event) {
DecimalFormat twoDecimalPlaces = new 
DecimalFormat(#,##0.00);
String valStr = 
((EditText)v).getText().toString();
double val = 
Double.parseDouble(cleanNumber(valStr));

((EditText)v).setText(twoDecimalPlaces.format(val));
return false;
}
});

the cleanNumber method strips out the commas from the string so it can
be parsed.

This does not work however.  For one it is called before the key
stroke is added to the text.  Any suggestions on the best way to do
this?

[android-developers] Why is making orientation configChanges manually frowned upon?

2010-06-04 Thread Adam Olsen

I posted this same question on stackoverflow, but didn't really get an answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2967903/handling-orientation-changes-yourself

When it comes to threading and handling orientation changes, it can
become quite tedious because the Activity gets destroyed.  You have to
create some way to store the thread (and any other data you want to
preserve) so that you can point it at the new Activity.

When handling the orientation changes yourself, to me, it seems a lot
easier, and less tedious.  You just call setContentView in your
onConfigurationChanged method, which you have to do anyway when you
create the Activity.

However, the documentation states that you should only do that sort of
thing as a last resort.  What is considered a last resort?  Would this
be an acceptable use-case?  I feel like I'm missing something
important here.

[android-developers] Update ongoing notification only when notification window shown?

Is there any way to detect whether the Notification Windows is being

I have a service that updates an ongoing notification, complete with a
progress bar and text? Is there a way to know if the notifiication
screen is actually being shown, so I can adjust how often

I wouldn't be so concerned if not for the fact that the HTC Incredible
will reboot after it receives several hundred or so updates.  Based on
a controlled experiment with a beta tester, the service could continue
for 24 hours if it did not update progress, but dies after several
hundred updates.

So I am desperate to reduce the notifications, if that's what works,
and one of the ways I could do that is by not updating as much or at
all if that screen isn't being shown.

Re: [android-developers] Update ongoing notification only when notification window shown?


Nathan,

Have you considered doing away with detailed progress info in the 
notification pulldown?


The pulldown (Notification) could just indicate that there are downloads 
in progress, perhaps their total number.


Then upon the user clicking on the notification item, you could display 
an activity with detailed information, which would be updated in real time.


This is inspired by what Android Market does, perhaps it's a viable 
option for your app as well?

  Are you holding on to wakelock? If you are, you may try commenting out
  that part and keep your app active until download is complete so that
  you don't loose network connection. Just perform few tests with the
  wakelock thing hopefully you should get the answer. You may have to
  split your file download into batches so that you can release the
  wakelock.

Nathan,

I had similar issue long time back when I had implemented the service
architecture. I had observed few things:

1. My phone (Nexus One) used to restart (with my service running in
background) when I tried to change the call forward setting or I tried
to use the google car navigator app.
2. The phone did not restart if it was plugged into a computer. (May
be related to network connectivity.)

I tried all kind of stuff the only way I was able to get my app
working was by referring to Mark Murphy's wakefulintentservice
structure which uses the alarm manager.

   Thanks.

   Did you find out why the restart was triggered? Or did you simply
   managed to avoid it? Was it because of many notifications, or just the
   fact that it was running for long time, or that Android tried to kill
   it?

   The alarm manager isn't appropriate for this task, at least I don't
   think so, because it is not a service that wakes up periodically and
   does some work.

   It has a defined list of files to download and then finishes, but it
   is actively working all that time.

[android-developers] Re: Update ongoing notification only when notification window shown?

On Jun 4, 1:41 pm, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote:
 Nathan,

 Have you considered doing away with detailed progress info in the
 notification pulldown?

 The pulldown (Notification) could just indicate that there are downloads
 in progress, perhaps their total number.

 Then upon the user clicking on the notification item, you could display
 an activity with detailed information, which would be updated in real time.

 This is inspired by what Android Market does, perhaps it's a viable
 option for your app as well?


Yes, I have. I may do it - and put the progress on the cancel/continue
activity. It's less convenient for the users, perhaps, but I can't
have it crashing on one particular device.

I've also considered scrapping the whole service/notification thing
and doing a download as an async task in an activity. But it seems
like a fit for the service model.

Maybe I need the wakelock, but now you have me worried about trying
it, if it will cause other problems.

Right now, I believe I will shut down on battery power and then
continue when restarted.

If I acquire a wakelock, then I will probably run the battery down for
sure if the download takes hours.

[android-developers] Bitmap memory handling with ImageView.setimage

I've read a lot of previous messages on this topic but couldn't find
universal agreement on the whole.

I can't reproduce this in house, but a customer got an
OutOfMemoryError when using an icon chooser dialog.

This dialog is much like the Grid1 example - only it's in a dialog.

The bitmap memory seems to run out after running the dialog a few
times for a customer, resulting in
 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget


public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ImageView imageView;
if (convertView == null) {
imageView = new ImageView(mContext);
//imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(40,
40));

imageView.setAdjustViewBounds(false);
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
imageView.setPadding(4, 4, 4, 4);
} else {

imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
}

imageView.setImageResource(idlist.get(pos).value);
imageView.setTag(idlist.get(pos).key);
return imageView;
}

Should I try to call recycle on the bitmap from an ImageView when I
reuse the view? Or would the ImageView do that anyway?

But even if I do that, that's only a small portion of the bitmaps
because most of them are seen without scrolling. The Adapter and the
GridView are both local variables and therefore shouldn't be
referenced after the dialog is dismissed.

I do believe that it should be possible to use many bitmaps in an app
- Google Maps does it, Picture Gallery does it. But maybe I need to
learn more rules. Some say you should call bitmap.recycle, some say
you shouldn't have to. Many say calling gc.collect will make it worse,
etc.

[android-developers] Calculate Time Elapsed

2010-06-04 Thread Anthoni

Hello,

So I've been struggling with this and I am not sure why because it
should be simple, but for some reason I just can not get my head
around it !!

I am developing a game and when the user saves their game, I write out
the last time I checked their stats using System.currentTimeMillis().
Then when they load in the game I want to see how many total seconds
have elapsed since it was last saved. Naturally I thought of getting
System.currentTimeMillis() and then deducting my saved value and then
converting that into seconds using this :=

long timePassed = System.currentTimeMillis() - lastCheck;
int seconds = (int) ((timePassed / 1000) % 60);

But on each load the seconds keep altering, but not within the right
bounds. For example on one load it comes as 59 seconds, then it showed
23 seconds etc. Obviously my algorithm is slightly wonky but I can't
work out why.

Could some one please elaborate where I am going ?

Regards
Anthoni

[android-developers] android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS problem / questions

2010-06-04 Thread rchndrsn

I am writing an app to move data between the host and the phone.
Initially I need to do it by copying files to the SDcard, then
mounting the SDCard as host mass storage ( while unmounting it from
the phone). And vica-versa.


I am trying to do this using the mount call defined in SYSCALLS.TXT. I
make the calls from a JNI C function library, and loadLibrary() etc.

AndroidManifest.xml has the uses-permission set up for
android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEM.

The code builds, loads runs, but mount or umount return -1 and

errno == 1, which is Operation Not permitted. It sounds to me like I
am close, but missing something.

What steps could I be missing. ?

Or am I using the mechanism incorrectly ? Or the wrong mechanism?

What is android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEM used for if not
for this ?

Can someone help ?

thanks

The problem is that a *finalizer* is stuck for that long.

If you can eliminate the finalizer, problem solved.  If you can't, you
need to eliminate the interdependence between the finalizer and the
slow-running thread.

The VM assumes that finalizers finish quickly, and anything taking a
really long time is probably deadlocked.  Rather than wait for the VM
to run out of resources and crash mysteriously, it tells you about the
problem immediately, and then shoots itself in the head to make sure
you notice.

[android-developers] Random pauses with “Key dispa tching timed out sending to null” when closing Android S urfaceView

2010-06-04 Thread Ken

When I close an Android SurfaceView Activity (this sometimes happens
when bringing up the menu for that activity as well), the app
sometimes pauses and almost gets an ANR (Application Not Responding)
message. Looking at LogCat, it appears to be timing out trying to send
keys to it. I tried modifying the code to setFocusable(false) when in
the onKeyDown handler for the SurfaceView, but that doesn't seem to
affect this. Any other ideas on what might be causing this? Or what
these messages in Logcat even mean?
If you wait for a few seconds, it becomes responsive again.  This
happens on Android 1.5 and 2.1 devices (I was hoping it was just a 1.5
bug) but doesn't seem as noticeable on faster devices like the
Droid...

You need to make that resource be a StateListDrawable.

The easiest way to do this is to copy the XML for the standard Button
StateListDrawable. You can find this in:

$ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$VERSION/data/res/drawable/btn_default.xml

(where $ANDROID_HOME is where you installed the SDK and $VERSION is one
of the SDK versions)

Change that to point to your own nine-patch images for your various
button backgrounds (normal, pressed, selected).
