Re: [android-developers] SMS from laptop

2010-11-26 Thread Marcin Orlowski
 Hi, I was wondering if it’s safe to use the http protocol to retrieve the
 message(SMS) to the phone and send it.

http is not encrypted so anyone in-between can listen to the content of your
traffic with easy. so in general: no.

Re: [android-developers] Can two application's content providers share one authority?

2010-11-26 Thread Dianne Hackborn
No, the authority must be unique.  That is why the documentation says to use
a fully-qualified name for the authority, so it won't accidentally conflict
with another app.  If when installing your app there is already another
installed app using the same authority as one of your providers, the
installation will simply fail.

MIME types are a totally different thing, used to determine the activity or
other component that can interact with a particular content: URI.

 A 3rd way that I prefer: make your object bundleable, where it can put

 which you put in the intent. This eliminates the complexity and
 class-loading issues of Parcelable and the common issues with statics.

[android-developers] Re: OpenGL on multiple threads with sharegroups

2010-11-26 Thread Phil Endecott
On Nov 26, 5:29 am, String sterling.ud...@googlemail.com wrote:
 Is that an OpenGL ES feature, or something specific to iOS?

My understanding is that creating OpenGL contexts is always platform-
specific.

EGL seems to define textures and vertex buffers as shared by default;
see section 2.4 of the EGL spec (http://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/
specs/eglspec.1.4.20101006.pdf).  Does Android claim to support EGL?

Earlier I found another post saying that this didn't work, but now I
can't find it...

 Generally, all your Android threads run in one process, and it's not
 hard to share data between them. Might it be possible to save your
 OpenGL context from your rendering thread, then use it to create
 textures in another thread?

You would need a mutex since there is so much state in the context
(currently bound texture, etc).  So it would be easier to move
everything onto one thread.


Thanks,  Phil.

[android-developers] Access to Google Reader API

2010-11-26 Thread Robert Auger
Hello,

I am trying to develop a Google Reader app for Android. This app was
working fine before today with the following code :

monTransport = GoogleTransport.create();
GoogleHeaders entete = (GoogleHeaders) monTransport.defaultHeaders;
entete.setApplicationName(ActuXml);
entete.gdataVersion = 2;
entete.setGoogleLogin(jeton);
XmlHttpParser parseur = new XmlHttpParser();
parseur.contentType = text/xml; charset=UTF-8;
parseur.namespaceDictionary = NAMESPACE_DICTIONARY;
monTransport.addParser(parseur);
HttpRequest requete = monTransport.buildGetRequest();
requete.url = new GenericUrl(http://www.google.com/reader/atom/; +
finurl);
try {
   flux = requete.execute().parseAs(ReaderItems.class);
} catch (IOException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
}

I get a valid token by using the android API 2.0 code :

AccountManager manageurcomptes = AccountManager.get(getBaseContext());
Bundle bundle = manageurcomptes.getAuthTokenByFeatures(com.google,
AUTH_TOKEN_TYPE,  null, moi,   null, null, null,
null).getResult();
   if (bundle.containsKey(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN)) {
authJeton = bundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN);
util = bundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME);

This code was working at the beginning of this week, today it doesn't
work anymore. Any change on the server side for the unofficial Google
Reader API ?

I do bitmap loading in another thread, but I do glBindTexture in the

 I've not seen any equivalent to this on Android.  Is this correct, or

 My code is C++, but as far as I can see the situation is the same for
 Java OpenGL code.

Yes; thanks; I'm actually doing something like that at the moment, and
it's not ideal.  (I think you mean calling glTexImage2D(), not just
glBindTexture(), don't you?)

 I think opengl es does have mechanisms for sharing textures across GL
 contexts

Yes.  I've investigated some more and eglCreateContext() takes an
EGLContext to share from: If share_context is not EGL_NO_CONTEXT,
then all shareable data ... will be shared by share_context ... and
the newly created context (from the EGL spec, section 3.7.1.)

So the question is, can I call eglCreateContext() from my C++ code,
and/or is there a way to access this functionality from Java?  Looking
through the Java docs I have found the EGLContext and
EGLContextFactory reference pages, but they are almost totally content-
free.  Does Android really implement EGL?

Unless you wrote another application, that is unlikely to work. Even
then, it is a very bad idea, since if the two applications have
different definitions for CustomObject, you are in trouble. Since
users update their applications on their own accord, getting the two
applications out of sync would be easy, even likely.

Tell whoever wrote another application to join this list and post on
this thread why they think their approach is a good idea.

[android-developers] Re: Adding separators to a ListView

2010-11-26 Thread Neilz
Yes, this topic again!

One thing that never occurred to me before... how can I add separate
OnItemClickListeners to my different lists?

For each of the adapters that I add to the MergeAdapter, I want
different actions when I click the item. Currently I have no way, it
seems, to tell what's been clicked, and which list it came from. The
item position argument is misleading too, as it also contains any non-
clickable views I also added to the adapter.

Am I missing something?

getItem() will return to you the Object corresponding to the position
you supply. And, I just checked in a change that added a getAdapter()
method that, given the position, will return the ListAdapter
associated with it. Note that this might not be one of your adapters,
if you used addView().

The actual OnItemClickListener stuff is at the ListView level, so the
MergeAdapter is going to be ignorant of any of that.

You will get a Uri or null. This is clearly documented.

 How does android execute this request?

It pulls the Uri out of the Intent, if there is one, and returns it to you.

  When ever android needs to match MIME type to URI.

No. You cannot convert a MIME type to a Uri. You can, however, find
the MIME type *for* a Uri. That is why the method is named getType(),
takes a Uri as a parameter, and returns a MIME type.

It is already enabled on most devices. You don't need to enable it

That's the gist of it. I have an interface with two methods: Bundle
toBundle(); and void fromBundle(Bundle bundle); Each derived class also
defined a constructor that just calls fromBundle(). It's basically the exact
same idea of the Parcelable interface where you shove your data into a
Bundle and then read it back in some structured fashion.

I switched to this strategy after running into some class loader problems
trying to instantiate my Parcelables in a Service that had been passed from
an Activity. There's at least one post in the group describing the problem.
This fixed that problem and simplified things considerably by removing the
need to copy and paste the CREATOR stuff and the (apparently pointless)
describeContents() function. If you're already using Parcelable, it's pretty
easy to switch to this method.

[android-developers] WebView focus and clickable links

2010-11-26 Thread Samuh
We have a ListView and a WebView in a FrameLayout. The WebView is set
as empty view for the ListView.

The WebView contains some HTML text with hyperlinks. The problem is
when the List is empty and the webView is displayed, we cannot click
the links in the WebView using the touch interface. However, if the
user uses the trackball, he can move through the links and navigate
also.

It seems that when the user touches the WebView, the touch event is
being dispatched to the ListView and not the WebView. Is this
assumption correct?

Can some one please explain what is happening and how can this be
fixed?

[android-developers] Repeating background does not repeat

2010-11-26 Thread Vince
Hi all,

Basically, I want to set a repeating background on a given ImageView
when loading an image from network. Easy stuff to do. But I'm facing a
strange problem using a dedicated drawable with tileMode set to
repeat. Actually, sometimes the source image is correctly repeated,
sometimes it's not, which obviously makes the background very ugly
cause the source image is stretched. The problem occurs randomly (on
both emulator and G1). I'm using the following XML (background.xml) to
define my repeating background:

bitmap xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:src=@drawable/back
android:tileMode=repeat
/bitmap

and I use it this way:

ImageView
android:id=@+id/header_image
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=@dimen/header_image_height
android:background=@drawable/background
/ImageView

This works perfectly... sometimes. Of course, I can do the same thing
using that code:

Bitmap mBackBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.back);
BitmapDrawable mBackgroundDrawable = new
BitmapDrawable(getResources(), mBackBitmap);
mBackgroundDrawable.setTileModeXY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT,
Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);
mHeaderImage.setBackgroundDrawable(mBackgroundDrawable);

This works very well... always! ^_^ But it sounds a little bit dumb to
do it myself through code: it seems easier to maintain it from XML and
this background is used in so many layouts in my application.

Has anyone already faced this problem? Am I missing something? Any
guess is welcome. Thanks.

Vince

setHeight()? Or are you talking about something else. Can you
elaborate as to the over all goal of this?

[android-developers] How to make such a customized component

2010-11-26 Thread cindy
I need to build a customized component has following functionality:
1 it has 2 component, a special text input box, and a image button
2 The text input box has up/down arrow at the right end. When there
is a list of result back, the text box will show the result list.

It is very  similar  to Google voice search. It has a input text box
and a search image button together.

Can someone give me suggestion on how to do that? any sample code for
that?

Thanks!

Cindy

[android-developers] listView.getCheckedItemPositions() without CheckedTextView

2010-11-26 Thread Tina
Hi, all!
I am trying to create multiple selection ListView but I could not use
CheckedTextView: my string is much more complex then text View.

But, when I use any other control exept CheckedTextView listView after
selection getCheckedItemPositions() has no selected items at all.

I created custom contlrol  implements Checkable interface, but toggle
method is never called.

May be, someone know fow to do it?

With hope,

You set the size of the drawable with Drawable.setBounds().  Exactly what

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Library project and widget xml referes in AndroidManifest.xml

2010-11-26 Thread Xavier Ducrohet
Resource from library project are packaged with the application
(that's the whole point of library projects), so you don't need to
change any @type references.

The only thing you need to update are the classes (like Activity,
Service, etc...) that are declared relative to the library package in
the library manifest. They must be expanded as the package of the main
application is different.

[android-developers] Re: IllegalStateException in MediaPlayer (Redux)

2010-11-26 Thread joebowbeer
Do you have an error listener registered? Does it give you more
information?

According to the state diagram, stop() is not available in all states.
Perhaps you're calling stop() in an invalid state, causing the player
to transition to the Error state, at which point prepareAsync would
fail:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html

In my experience with media player, it's best not to assume that a
state transition has happened until one of the listeners tells you.

Also, if you have the luxury of creating a new MediaPlayer instead of
trying to stop and reuse the current player, I think you'll receive
fewer error reports.

On Nov 23, 1:16 am, Jason Polites jason.poli...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi folks,

 Some time ago I posted an issue relating to an IllegalStateException

 I have just launched the app into the wild and this error is
 flooding in.

 I just can't seem to fathom why.. here's the code:

 if(mp != null) {
        mp.stop();
        mp.prepareAsync();

 }

 (mp is a MediaPlayer instance BTW).

 According to the doco, prepareAsync is valid for {Initialized,
 Stopped} states.. but I just can't see how it could be in any state
 other than stopped??

 The trace is:

 java.lang.IllegalStateException
       at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepareAsync(Native Method)
       .. the line of code mentioned above follows.

 Is it possible that stop() is not synchronous?  Can't seem to see
 anything in the doco stating this.

 Anyone got any ideas?

 P.S.

 I'm seeing this on a wide range of devices, but all so far are version
 2.1-update1

Re: [android-developers] Re: custom view in widget

2010-11-26 Thread Hendrik Greving
I'm much further now, thanks. I have 5 button in a horizontal linear layout. 
Each button is currently 167x280. I read that a one row widget is normally 
320x100. However, if I scale each button to 64x100, it looks bad, probably 
because I need the density?! On a high density screen like a Nexus one,the 
167x280 look perfect. The other problem I have is, that it scales badly. I 
would like to at least make it look 'ok' when used on a tablet. However, it 
looks like that it scales only the width, and doesn't preserve the ratio. 
I've tried a lot with different scale types, I've also tried 9-patch png 
images. If I do the latter, the button is scaled wrong in either case. Any 
idea? Thanks!!

TextView supports SpannedString, such as that returned by
Html.fromHtml(). RemoteViews supports sending a SpannedString to an

fromHtml() in a TextView hosted by an app widget.

Also, please bear in mind that home screens are not subject to app
widget limitations. So, just because you might see an HTC Sense or
MOTOBLUR home screen doing something fancy does not mean that an app
widget is capable of the same feats of derring-do.

   I have tried the KillBackgroundProcess and adding the related

  Correct, it can't kill processes that the system would not normally be
 free
  to kill for out of memory reasons -- that is it only kills background
  processes or processes running services, which can be killed without the
  user being aware that something happened.
 
  If it killed a foreground process running an activity, for example, this
  would lose the current state of the activity causing it to disappear.
 
  Force stop  and my  KillBackgroundProcess seems to have sent the
 
   same signal 9. but they behave differently.
   I don't know why it doesn't work in my  KillBackgroundProcess.
 
  Force stop does a lot more than just killing processes.  (Which is one of
  the reasons the task killer apps' abuse of it has caused so many
 problems.)

As for your issue with scaling - did you add support for scaling in the

* 1.5? I did both the minimum APIlevel (7) and enabled scaling (true). The 
problem I have is that they don't scale in an (emulated-) tablet. The OS seems 
to scale the width more than the height. I played around with all setting I

Re: [android-developers] Re: custom view in widget

2010-11-26 Thread Kostya Vasilyev
Yes, portrait mode seems to be somewhat different. I don't have a tablet,
but had to fix this for a Motorola Milestone (when the keyboard is pulled
out, the home screen rotates).

I did this by doing three things:

- having separate layouts for portrait and landscape modes (you can use
res/layout_port, etc. in a widget);

- specifying a larger width for the landscape layout (found empirically, so
that my 2*1, 3*1, and 1*1 widgets line up at the edges when placed one below
another);

- using nine-patches for the backgrounds.

One more trick would be to make use of layout_weight, although I haven't
needed that.

 When you read about standard widget sizes, that's in dp units: device
independent pixels. On a high-res screen, your layouts are scaled by Android
to a larger pixel size (a factor of 1.5 for hdpi).

 As for your issue with scaling - did you add support for scaling in the
manifest? You can do it by either by setting minSdk to 4 and above, or by
including a supports-screens element.

with removeAllViews and addView)? I've tried this and the widget than fails 
loading. Or do I need to set up a layout each for all possible combinations and 
then use this with updateAppWidget?

No, no android:optional on uses-permission.  Semantically that is totally
different than what am talking about here, which means to still allow being
installed even if the device doesn't support the library (or feature since
you can do the same uses-feature).

 This sounds like a really good step. However, I failed to find it mentioned

 When this works, could we expect it to also work for uses-permission, as
 outlined over a year ago? That would be a really good thing too, IMHO.
