You can scale the emulator by enabling scale to real size in the emulator
launch dialog. It's the only way to get the galaxy tab to fit, as well.

Being able to scroll would be nice too, but afaik, that's not possible.

Known issues

The following known issues occur for Android 3.0 AVDs that are loaded in
the emulator:

When they say the emulation is slow, they mean slow! On my Intel Q6600
Quad
Core it is a slide-show. Also, once in portrait view the resolution is
the
height of my native monitor resolution. Does anyone know of a way to set a
scaled view on the emulator? I would even settle for a scroll bar.

change
the window size appropriately - the screen itself remains in portrait. So
when it *should* be landscape, it just sits there in portrait mode

I've messed with the settings and turned the auto-rotate on and off a few
times and I even waited for a little while because it was running (really
really really) slow, so I thought I had to give it a few minutes, but no
changes.

Anyone had this issue and/or a solution to it?

[android-developers] Re: High sensor usage in stand by

2011-01-28 Thread Alex Munteanu

Now, my question that just popped up in my head is what's actualy
happening when my service receive the SCREEN_OFF event ?
I have a couple of things that are executed at this point (one of them
is unregister the Listener for Orientation Sensor), but how the
Android handle this ?
I mean, always these actions will get the change to comple until the
phone goes in standby ? because this will happens when the screen will
go off, unless the are some PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCKs held by other
applications.
Si it is possible that the Unregister Listener will not finish
properly (something is happening because my service's OnSensorChanged
event is not fired up anymore between SCREEN OFF and SCREEN ON)
because the system buts the phone in standby and the sensor usage will
occurs on my app ?
And this could explain why this occurs only sometimes, maybe sometimes
it happens that there is a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK that allows all the
actions to properly complete and sometimes there is not...
Just a theory...

  Now, I'm not sure if it was a production phone or a development device
  with root access - this is why the phone name is not disclosed.
  But it is an example of how bad the low level sensors stuff could be
  implemented. Most likely they poll data from the port instead of
  waiting for an event. I did sensors porting once and pretty much sure
  this task should not take such large amount of CPU.

  Now,  back to your case. List the top 10 CPU-eating processes and see
  if you have similar picture to the one above.
  If yes, then accept this as a feature of the phone and check on

You canot write/change the txt file if you put it in the assets. So, on

you can proceed.

there should be a way to kill the feature that detects this dos

Plus, this 503 issue (ops should have I said feature) is poorly

try not to hit the market too often or you will start getting 503
errors, and it will take a while to reset
Wth it means? How much is exactly a while? I'm sick of waiting :(

 Right.

  But my question is about how to pass an object of user defined class to an

 Passing a user defined object to an Activity is not much different than
 passing, say, an int. Re-read this thread - that's exactly what was
 discussed.

  One guy said that it could be done by implementing some common functions
  for this activity and calling those functions to pass object to this
  activity, but how I can get the activity reference would be a problem.

 If you're referring to Neilz's post, the second part of that was that he
 uses static objects - no need to pass an Activity reference around. Each
 Activity, when active, would use itself to access the user-defined static
 objects.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Providing 2 differing interfaces to a remoteService


Dale,

Here is a few ideas:

- A service-specific singleton *should* work, along the lines of setting 
a static to this in the service's onCreate or onBind and resetting to 
null in onDestroy.


- You could add a method in the primary AIDL interface that obtains the 
administration interface. The service's implementation of the primary 
AIDL interface would check who's calling the method (e.g. with 
getCallingUid) before returning either the administration interface or null.


- The above could probably be implemented by leveraging 
IBinder.queryLocalInterface.


- You could implement the management interface (which supposedly only 
has a few methods, like stop/getState/getOption/setOption) by means 
other than AIDL. For example, startService with specific intents, or 
custom command values for IBinder.transact().


- For the latter, IBinder defines a constant, LAST_CALL_TRANSACTION, as 
The last transaction code available for user commands, so it seems 
like it's a valid use case for IBinder.

2011-01-28 Thread vnv

Hi,

I need to implement following layout


[search text]
[Tab1][Tab2][Tab3]
[   ]
[ Tab Content]
[   ]
[Button1]  [Button2]


My activity is already ListActivity so I cannot extend it to
TabActivity ?

I have [search text] and [button#] already positioned.

Idea whould be to have content searched in [serach text] and for
selected Tab# , specific search would be made.

Buttons could provide following actions with selected content.


Could anyone give a hint on this please?

Tnx.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Passing objects to new intents

Serializable has higher overhead than Android's similar built-in 
interface, Parcelable. Try using Parcelable if possible, and consider 
support for Java serialization a fall-back (for compatibility with 
legacy and library code).

Right.


But my question is about how to pass an object of user defined class to an
activity.

Passing a user defined object to an Activity is not much different than
passing, say, an int. Re-read this thread - that's exactly what was
discussed.


One guy said that it could be done by implementing some common functions
for this activity and calling those functions to pass object to this
activity, but how I can get the activity reference would be a problem.

If you're referring to Neilz's post, the second part of that was that he
uses static objects - no need to pass an Activity reference around. Each
Activity, when active, would use itself to access the user-defined static
objects.

Re: [android-developers] No option to download the API documentation in the Android SDK and AVD Manager

2011-01-28 Thread Dinesh Bajaj

Thanks for your response, Mark.

I too had earlier downloaded documentations for Android Platforms, but 
yesterday I had to uninstall the whole SDK package due a problem, and when I 
re-installed it, I saw that there was no option to download the 
documentation. I just ran  the SDK manager to check whether the option was 
available now, but it was not.

The images are not there as perhaps they have been removed by the group 
moderator. No problem as here are the links for the images:

2http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/2015/installedpackages.png
(If images are not supposed to be included in the posting, then why the heck 
the option to insert the image has been made available)

As you can see from the images that the option to download the documenation 
for Android 3 preview is also available to me, but not the option to 
download the documentation for earlier platforms.

As an aside Mark, I would like to say thank you to you as among the

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to use official Android icons in paid apps?

2011-01-28 Thread Brill Pappin

Thats a good questions.

I know that even Google Engineers will suggest that if you want to use
the icons in the SDK that you make your own copy to bundle with the
app. Although based on what you've highlighted here thats not supposed
to happen.

However, at the same time all the source is license under the Apache
License, which would suggest that you can do that.

I'm not expert though, so if it's a concern for you, talk to your own
lawyer.

I have tried playing via MediaPlayer Apple's test stream:

The emulator displayed just a black screen. A trace was written to the

1. Can someone please try this test stream on HoneyComb and post back
here whether they can get it to work?
2. Do we have to set up MediaPlayer in any other way to get this
streaming to work?

Re: [android-developers] Re: openFileOutput, FileNotFoundException


Ah!!! So you have a *compile* error!

Ok, try this:

String fil = test2;
String string = exempeltext;

FileOutputStream fos;

try {

fos = openFileOutput(fil, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

fos.write(string.getBytes());
fos.close();
} catch (IOException x) {
   Log.i(TAG, Cannot open file:  + x.toString());
}

Eclipse (or any other Java compiler) checks exception signatures at 
compile time.


The compiler knows that openFileOutput *can* throw a 
FileNotFoundException, since it's declared like this:



public FileOutputStream openFileOutput(String name, int mode)
*throws FileNotFoundException*


It also knows that write() and close() *can* throw IOException.

Since onCreate says it does not throw any exceptions, the compiler flags 
this as an error, and suggests that you either:


1) catch any exceptions from the above methods, and don't let them 
propagate out of onCreate or


2) change the signature of onCreate to indicate that it, too, can throw 
exceptions (which is not really an option, because onCreate is an 
override of a method of Activity, and you can't add new exceptions when 
overriding methods).


Since exception handling is one of the fundamentals of Java, you should 
take some time to learn more about them. There are lots of articles and 
samples on the net, here is one (from 1998, and things haven't changed 
since then):

[android-developers] Re: openFileOutput, FileNotFoundException

2011-01-28 Thread Michael

Thanks alot for the help Kostya. I'll definitely follow your advice
and learn som more about exceptions and debuggning.
/Micke

On 28 Jan, 15:12, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote:
 Ah!!! So you have a *compile* error!

 Ok, try this:

          String fil = test2;
          String string = exempeltext;

          FileOutputStream fos;

          try {

              fos = openFileOutput(fil, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

              fos.write(string.getBytes());
              fos.close();
          } catch (IOException x) {
                 Log.i(TAG, Cannot open file:  + x.toString());
          }

 Eclipse (or any other Java compiler) checks exception signatures at
 compile time.

 The compiler knows that openFileOutput *can* throw a
 FileNotFoundException, since it's declared like this:

  public FileOutputStream openFileOutput(String name, int mode)
  *throws FileNotFoundException*

 It also knows that write() and close() *can* throw IOException.

 Since onCreate says it does not throw any exceptions, the compiler flags
 this as an error, and suggests that you either:

 1) catch any exceptions from the above methods, and don't let them
 propagate out of onCreate or

 2) change the signature of onCreate to indicate that it, too, can throw
 exceptions (which is not really an option, because onCreate is an
 override of a method of Activity, and you can't add new exceptions when
 overriding methods).

 Since exception handling is one of the fundamentals of Java, you should
 take some time to learn more about them. There are lots of articles and
 samples on the net, here is one (from 1998, and things haven't changed
 since then):

[android-developers] Re: Android SDK is so slow that is ridiculous.

I'm not complaining about the performance, since I know the problems
behind it.

But, with the inevitable performance problems maybe a simulated
environment(with x86 architecture) or a Android x86 VM would be a
better option(in performance).
Problems will probably arise with the optimisations of native code for
ARM architecture.

[android-developers] Re: NFC Secure Element

2011-01-28 Thread mtk

I added the code to set wired mode in
com_android_nfc_NativeNfcManager.cpp. I also added some additional
methods on NFcService so I can conveniently call it from my test
activity. For sending APDU commands in SWP mode, I use another
activity with TAG_DISCOVERED action in android manifest, (just like
the tag reader same program) and then use RawTagConnection to send
APDU bytes. Btw I think the SE is GP compliant! When I send the select
command with zero AID (Select ISD per GP, 00 a4 04 00 00) - it
promptly responds back with FCI template! So it looks like we can use
install apps into the SE, once we have the keys? Sorry I'm new to GP
so learning stuff as I go...

On Jan 27, 10:25 pm, nemik ne...@nemik.net wrote:
 mtk, very cool! So when you did that call directly (somewhere in init
 of the jni code?) you got it to detect? How are you sending APDU
 commands? Also, if I understand wired mode correctly, the tag is not
 emulated externally to other readers; it's only available internally
 using the NFC API?

 gusdgg, yes, I saw the secure elements using the
 getSecureElementList() and just doing logging with those and observing
 them using `adb logcat`. I think that is in one of the diffs I posted.
 It worked OK for me and I wasn't seeing any permission errors. Though
 I never even bothered to do it via reflection on the stock firmware
 since I figured it would just deny it. Your findings clearly confirm
 that.
 As for the SmartMX chip, maybe you're right. But I suppose it could
 also be built into the PN544 chip itself. I have no idea, I wasn't
 able to find any datasheets that talk about it and have no details on
 the NXP chips Samsung's been sourcing for the Nexus S.

[android-developers] Re: Problem releasing activities

Try getting the phone memory filed up. So it starts GC'ing and killing
off processes to release the memory. Or try filling up the heap with
total garbage and trigger a GC.
If after that point you actually have the unused(or what you would
expect to become garbage) Activities and Views retained, then you have
a leak.

High mem usage does not mean that there is a leak, by itself.

And to have a low mem usage, you need to carefully create new objects
and hold on to them for a long time. That goes also for Strings,
resources and goes double for Bitmaps.

[android-developers] Re: Suggested Android Phone for Unity Game Development Testing?

Get a Nexus One. Unity guys that ported their engine to Android were
using G1 originally and now Nexus One.

On 25 янв, 02:29, HV-Charley charles.holmes.pr...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hey everyone,

 I'm new to Android development and am looking to sort out what I
 should be getting as a development device for non-emulator testing
 purposes. Naturally, my goal would be to get a device that best
 represents the most common end-user device looking ahead to the next
 4-12 months when our first title(s) are likely to be released.

 Of course, there are a host of devices out there, and analyzing the
 direction of the market is entirely speculative. Nonetheless, I'm
 pretty much just looking to make the most informed choice I can and
 then will work around the other details.

 My limited research on phone penetration has been a bit inconclusive.
 Nonetheless, these were the components that I’ve been trying to take
 into account:

 --ARMv7 ENABLED--
 Given that we will be developing with Unity, it appears that I will
 need to get an ARMv7 enabled phone (per the post 
 below):http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/73598-Before-you-buy-Android-for-Uni

 --UNITY TESTED PHONES--
 Per Unity's site, they specifically cite a few phones that they have
 tested extensively. Ideally the target phone would be found among this
 list (presumably Unity was looking at market penetration as well)

 http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/android
 Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Motorola Droid X, HTC Droid Incredible, HTC
 EVO 4G, Samsung Galaxy S

 --ANDROID PLATFORM VERSION--
 Unity requires 2.0+. Per the oft-referenced platform versions site:

 http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html

 It looks like 2.2 is the current standard, and will likely persist
 given that there is a substantial foundation of users that are now
 working with that version.  So, naturally, it seems I’ll want a phone
 that is 2.2 enabled.

 --EXISTING PHONES--
 My business partners have a Motorola Droid X and HTC EVO 4G as their
 personal phones. While we’ll ultimately test on those devices, we’d
 like to have one phone entirely devoted to being a development device.

 I know that’s a fair amount of data, but I’d like to try and make the
 most informed decision I can given the circumstances. Still learning
 the ins and outs.

 Thanks in advance for any help/advice you may be able to provide!

There are a few Base64Encoders available. Search for them.

[android-developers] Re: Is it possible to use official Android icons in paid apps?

2011-01-28 Thread Mariux

This is really hard to find out. There's no clear statement that SDK
components as platform images are effectively Open Source (under
Apache License).

There are a lot of paid apps that use, for example, Gingerbread icons
and drawables, even full apps ripped or reverse-engineered from
Gingerbread SDK platform.

So it can be done? Or are these apps violating Android Terms of Use?

Thanks

 Thats a good questions.

 I know that even Google Engineers will suggest that if you want to use
 the icons in the SDK that you make your own copy to bundle with the
 app. Although based on what you've highlighted here thats not supposed
 to happen.

 However, at the same time all the source is license under the Apache
 License, which would suggest that you can do that.

 I'm not expert though, so if it's a concern for you, talk to your own
 lawyer.

[android-developers] How to convert a image into Base64 string?

2011-01-28 Thread saex

Hi

Can someone tell me the code to transforma image (maximum of 200KB)
into Base64 String???

i need to know how to do it with android, because i have to add the
functionality to upload images to a remote server in my main app
putting them into a ROW of the database, as a string.

i am searching in google and in StackOverflow but i can't find easy
examples that i can afford. And also i find some examples but they are
not talking about to transform into String... and i need to transform
into string to upload by JSON to my remote server.

[android-developers] Re: How to convert a image into Base64 string?

2011-01-28 Thread Hari Edo


This kind of question seems more like a school homework
assignment, but in case the question is practical, here goes.

What Base64 is:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

This article gives plenty of examples and details that someone
can write their own fully-tested implementation in an hour.

But in twenty seconds of using Google, I tried the search string
of base64 encode in java and got tons of hits.  The third link
has a fully-tested implementation (based on the same Wikipedia
example data and algorithms).

  http://www.wikihow.com/Encode-a-String-to-Base64-With-Java

Now, it's not good form to just copy code without asking, but
since this is a How-To article published on the web, I don't
think you'll run into copyright issues if you adapt their code
into your application.  There's good discussion in the article
about how the code works, and advice on learning to program.

However, this question is even sillier than that.  The
Android platform even includes a class called Base64 which
does all the encoding and decoding for you.  Without
worrying about incompatibility, testing, or license issues!

  http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64.html

That class even has an .encodeToString() method that turns
your arbitrary byte[] data into a String ready for use in
sqlite TEXT fields.

Beyond that, I'm really not sure what the actual problem is.

I'm not trying to be rude, but it's depressing when people
ask questions that are so quickly answered with even the
most cursory search first.

[android-developers] Re: How to convert a image into Base64 string?

2011-01-28 Thread Hari Edo


Perhaps the actual question is how to get a byte[] for a given
Bitmap or vice versa.  This is, indeed, Android-specific and not
as obvious as the Base64 part of your question.

However, again, with a couple minutes of Google use, I found
this snippet:

 // have Bitmap bitmap from somewhere
 ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG,100,bos);
 byte[] array = bos.toByteArray();
 // now have byte[] array to use, e.g., base64 encode

And then on the decompression side,

 // have byte[] array from somewhere, e.g., base64 decode
 Bitmap bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(array, 0, array.length);
 // now have Bitmap bitmap to use, e.g., to make a drawable

This class (as well as Base64OutputStream) is only available starting 
with API level 8, which may not work for all applications.

Could you please post your stack trace? We've made extensive changes to the

that we are still actively fixing bugs, so we might already have resolved
this particular issue.

[android-developers] Table row content disappearing on rotate

Hi,

I have an app that includes two TableLayouts whose rows are filled in 
dynamically. Whenever I rotate the device, the rows are cleared for both 
tables. This only happens with the tables, not with other views, like 
TextViews. The relevant XML and Java code are as follows:

*play.xml:*

my_guesses = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_guesses); 
.
.
.
tr = new TableRow(context); tr.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(

TextView(context); word_view.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); 
word_view.setText(guess); tr.addView(word_view); count_view = new

Any ideas would be appreciated.

[android-developers] Communicating with the browser

2011-01-28 Thread kypriakos


Hi all,

if I run a client (any kind of a client, let's say javascript) on the
native
browser which access a remote web server and retrieves a page
I can theoritically intercept that request and have a local agent
return to the browser (on the socket that it was writing to) a
response
using standard HTTP headers in test. Yes? I can easily do that
with many browsers (Firefox, IE, Safari etc.). Does anyone know as
to why I cannot do this in Android and its native browser? I have been
trying to go over the com.android.browser and the commons HTTP
libs from the source but are not too easy to follow. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you are populating it dynamically, as you indicated, then yes.

Remember, rotating the device causes a change in configuration which cause
the system to kill and restart your app. Built-In views will normally retain
their state, but other changes you've made dynamically are your
responsibility.

They cause Android to destroy and recreate the Activity. The app 
(meaning the process) keeps running.


There are callbacks for passing any dynamically created data from the 
old instance to the new instance of the activity:

[android-developers] is it possible to override 9 patch pngs?

anyone know how to override the stock 9 patch images without rooting
the device or other silly ideas?

I was hoping that selection of a 9 patch image file would cascade
through from my project's drawable-mdpi to drawable to the platform
default such that if I put that image in my project's drawable or
drawable-mdpi, it would be used instead.

so far I have had no success - any ideas welcome

Yeah, sorry, by app I meant what you're currently running / seeing on the

Re: [android-developers] is it possible to override 9 patch pngs?

You can copy the platform defaults into your project, edit them as you 
like, and use with buttons by setting android:background. This would 
affect your own application.


As for changing an Android resource so it affects other apps - sorry, no.

Re: [android-developers] Getting NullPointer Exception while inserting into database!!!

It may be PArcel, but unlikely - the contentprovidernative code uses Parcels

Can you post the code in your contentprovider for the insert() method..?

[android-developers] Strange orange background color when custom 9 patch button is pressed...

2011-01-28 Thread Jarrette

I made a custom background for the buttons in my app.  Here is my 
btn_blue.xml markup

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
item android:state_focused=true 
  android:state_pressed=false 
  android:drawable=@drawable/btn_blue_pressed /
item android:state_focused=true 
  android:state_pressed=true
  android:drawable=@drawable/btn_blue_pressed /
item android:state_focused=false 
  android:state_pressed=true
android:drawable=@drawable/btn_blue_pressed /
item android:drawable=@drawable/btn_blue_normal /
/selector

Everything seems to work fine - except for one thing.  When I press the 
button, my pressed image appears, however behind the image, is an orange 
background color
Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

[android-developers] Re: How to convert a image into Base64 string?

If you do need to convert a byte[] to base64 and back again, the android LVL 
has a utility class called Base64 which does exactly that. It is completely 
standalone and has no imports whatsoever, so it should work fine with any 
version of Android.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to change the background color of ToggleButton?

If you only want to change the way a ToggleButton looks (not behaves), 
you can replace the background from XML with your own.


Note that ToggleButton uses a layer-list drawable to overlay the toggle 
state over the standard button background, to reduce the number of 
needed images.


You can find the resource in data directory inside the 
platforms\platform-API version\data\res folder on your computer.

You could also make your own state-list drawable I think It's called.
Anyway in the source of the s d k I think you can find the toggle
button and then edit it, not sure though.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Honeycomb browser broken?

I guess I'm just a glass half full kind of guy and presumed they wouldn't 
goto all that effort. If they did have to because the browser was broken 
then surely they would have made at least a throwaway comment in the blog 
about the flaky browser as well. But they made no mention at all. So I 
assume it works for them... :-)

Maybe we should be asking: Does anyone out there have a *working* browser in 
their honeycomb emulator..? And by working, I mean you can browse to at 
least one website without it crashing and closing.

[android-developers] Detect Default Camera Directory

2011-01-28 Thread joshbeck

Hello:

I have an app that uses this standard code to get a list of pictures
stored on the phone:
(It seems to only works when the device in question utilizes /DCIM/
camera) --Many use different folders for default picture storage.


--My question: What might be the best way to detect what the default
camera storage directory is:
(I considered getting a directory list and having the code iterate
through what it finds.)
Is there a way to retrieve it exactly?


public static final String CAMERA_IMAGE_BUCKET_NAME =
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()
+ /DCIM/Camera;

//BEGIN CODE
final String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
final String selection = MediaStore.Images.Media.BUCKET_ID 
+ 
= ?;
final String[] selectionArgs = { CAMERA_IMAGE_BUCKET_ID };
final Cursor cursor =
context.getContentResolver().query(Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection,
selection,
selectionArgs,
null);
ArrayListString result = new
ArrayListString(cursor.getCount());
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
final int dataColumn =
cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
do {
final String data = cursor.getString(dataColumn);
result.add(data);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}

cursor.close();
//END CODE


Thanks for any help,
Josh Beck

Re: [android-developers] Re: is it possible to override 9 patch pngs?

You *could* copy the standard spinner image, edit it in Draw9Patch to 
add stretch areas in more proper places, but I wouldn't recommend this: 
if this image is replaced by the firmware, your application will not 
match the rest of the phone's UI. To be specific, the Motorola Droid X 
does this, as does the Samsung Galaxy S family, and maybe others.


I would try to fit whatever content you have on one line, using TextView 
singleLine=true, and a smaller image, or come up with a different way 
to show the current selection (a spinner that looks so different that 
the user won't know it's a spinner?)

yes you're right - thanks

I hadn't considered future proofing or customized implementations, but
it makes good sense.

mine doesn't look near as bad as the example I posted

the icons I'm using are only 32x32 but I'll vamp them down so that
they don't force the stretching

You can make it a TabActivity and manage the ListViews within the Activity
yourself.
Otherwise your tab content section can be a ViewSwitcher or ViewFlipper that
swaps out on pressing the tab buttons.
