[android-developers] android application with ipv6
Hi. How do i link ipv6 together with a mobile application device such as android? I have a project given by the lecturer with 0 notes as reference. I have to combine both of them together, however i dont understand how to link them together and i dont see how it works. Hence, i would ask for any links or explanation or reference notes for such application. I have been googling out such examples and codes for reference and i have not even found one good reference link.

[android-developers] Android 4.2+: Sharing data between users
I work for a Parental Controls company and have a product that has been working beautifully on Android up to version 4.2. Until now, we have mostly pushed off fully supporting 4.2 with user switching as the demand has not been high enough. That time has past and it's finally in our radar. Our product's sole purpose is to *product any user on the device*. Traditionally we have bound one of our users (we maintain our own sync across devices including other OS's). With Android 4.2 comes user switching and individual data directories per user. *How is a product such as ours to share data across 1:n users?* As-is, users would have to essentially re-install our product for every user. All central context is lost (which again, is vital to our product; Each user must belong to the family) Some things I have looked at: - MODE_WORLD_READABLE / MODE_WORLD_WRITABLE are now removed, so we can't set them in /data/data/package.name/ - FileUtils.setPermissions() seems to ignore 'everyone' bits - File.setWritable() doesn't actually exist in Android -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Bluetooth connection problem
I've been trying to resolve a bluetooth connection problem between my app and service running on my laptop. I've paired my phone, a Nexus S 4G running AOSP 4.1.1, with my laptop through the System Settings. In my app, I'm unable to connect to my service over this pairing. However, if I go back into System Settings, Bluetooth Settings Activity, and select my laptop, the Bluetooth Settings Activity lists the laptop as selected and the Notification Bar icon for Bluetooth changes from grey to blue. Now, my app can connect just fine. If I disconnect from my laptop through the Bluetooth Settings Activity, my app can no longer connect. My understanding was that I only needed to be paired/bonded with a device to make a bluetooth connection. Why do I have to explicitly connect through the System/Bluetooth Settings before being able to connect in my app? I've tried both secure and insecure RfcommSocketToServiceRecord calls.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Jelly Bean, READ_LOGS and 'Application Lockers'
Glad to see a response, thanks. While I think a platform feature vs an API set developers can access is better than nothing, it's also much too restrictive. What I mean by this is that parents and admins want to buy the devices they want to buy -- and still have the ability to lock them down. This goes for the consumer and enterprise world: - Consumers want the latest cool gadgets and/or the budget gadgets -- And they want parental controls on them. - Many enterprise users are now allowing BYOD policies as long as certain software is installed on them (e.g. for DLP, etc.) - Filtering solutions are very much like anti-virus anti-malware solutions: People have the one they trust; they don't want any others. Forcing buyers to stick with devices that have enabled parental control features for example is highly limiting, and I think, a mistake. Perhaps another solution is a API set and a new level of permission authentication.

[android-developers] Jelly Bean, READ_LOGS and 'Application Lockers'
Now that READ_LOGS permission is not available to applications in Jelly Bean (API 16), what are developers of Application Locker type apps to do? These are populate applications among parents who would like to prevent their kids from accessing various apps (generally password protected) but the implementation of such applications has required a hack of reading logcat to determine when/what Activity has been launched or brought into focus. Surely Google is not saying You cannot have these apps? Is an official API (perhaps in the Device Admin realm) planned? Is there a work around besides polling the top level activity (not really reasonable).

I appreciate your responses, but disagree about your assessment. Setting an application to Device Admin + logcat monitor is not trivial to circumvent as a standard user by any means. Parents want these for their children and their children are having a hard time getting around them... hence the good reviews. I'm aware of custom ROM solutions.

Re: [android-developers] Jelly Bean, READ_LOGS and 'Application Lockers'
Google has certainly posted we're working on it type hints on *many* issues / upcoming features. Dates no, but it would be good to know if this is being looked at. I certainly disagree that this does not belong in Android. Here a few reasons why (minimized): - There is a huge demand for Parental Control type management on Android. Many parents buy Android devices for their young children and teenagers and wish for some control and visibility vs letting them loose with the device. The company I work for has sold many devices pre-bundled with this functionality and I know from experience that many people simply will not buy an Android device (or any other ecosystem) that does not support/have this functionality. - Take a look at the hundreds (more?) of App Lock and Parental Control type applications that currently exist on Android right now. All of these applications are in high demand and all of them are currently using hacks of various sorts for implementation. Many even requiring rooting the device. - Android is already fragmented. What works on one device may not work on another. I'm fine with that personally and love the diversity. However, the general API set you can mostly rely on. Having each vendor create an API for this kind of functionality would be an absolute nightmare. - In general, yes, applications should absolutely be sandboxed. And I actually agree with the removal of READ_LOGS from a security standpoint due to the amount of data most applications dump into logcat -- who knows what goodies I could scrape from there. However, there should be exceptions to the control portion of this rule as long as the user / device admin authorizes it. As far as it being hard to maintain, I'm not seeing it. Start out with a few simplistic hooks for the common cases and go from there. Some of the hooks (e.g. IActivityWatcher or IProcessObserver) are/were already semi-present in the system as non-public and locked down APIs. What's needed is a good system for allowing device administrators to allow certain applications to use similar API sets. I think at this point I may develop some customization's to Android myself, submit them, and hope for the best. I'm confident this can be implemented in a secure user friendly manor. What I don't want it to waste my time if someone at Google is already doing it. On Thursday, July 26, 2012 5:51:02 PM UTC-6, Kristopher Micinski wrote: I honestly don't see what you expect to be said. The Android team has never released their plans for APIs until they are actually stable. It's sort of risky to promise things that might not materialize. While I agree this sort of functionality is useful, I personally do *not* believe it belongs in Android. I do believe, however, that it belongs in vendor specific mods, that have custom apps. Why? Because vanilla Android shouldn't be tasked with these kinds of extensions (personal opinion, mostly..). It's hard to design these kinds of things, because for many people this might be considered bloatware. I agree that it's a useful feature, no doubt, but I believe that it doesn't believe at the app level (no app should be able to modify the system behavior, seems to be an Android maxim at this point!), and not in the vanilla system either. This seems like something that has a lot of design decisions associated with it, and for Google to maintain it would be very hectic logistically. I suspect that it's not completely implausible that this will eventually appear in vanilla Android, but I find it somewhat unlikely, just based off of the kinds of decisions I've seen made in the platform to date. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] TransactionTooLargeException exception calling queryIntentActivities()
Part of my applications duties are to enumerate launcher activities -- to do this, I call PackageManger.queryIntentActivities(). On some devices this has resulted in a *TransactionTooLargeException*.

Re: [android-developers] Re: AppWidget disappears after updating app and moving code into a library
I hope that I'm wrong, but here's my understanding... Let's say my 2 app manifests contain something like this: application package=my.package/ activity name=.MyActivity/ application package=my.packagepro/ activity name=.MyActivity/ Rather than maintaining 2 copies of MyActivity, I move them into a library: application package=my.package.core/ activity name=.MyActivity/ Now the references in my apps need to be updated: application package=my.package/ activity name=my.package.core.MyActivity/ application package=my.packagepro/ activity name=my.package.core.MyActivity/ Here's where the problem started. Any existing appwidgets on the homescreen would disappear. Then I found this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/06/things-that-cannot-change.html So, I've reverted my manifest's back to a local package reference: application package=my.package/ activity name=.MyActivity/ application package=my.packagepro/ activity name=.MyActivity/ ...however, that class isn't in my.package or my.packagepro, it's in the library, my.package.core, so my understanding is that I needed a local version of the class. Am I wrong? Can I leave the activity name as .MyActivity and it will reference my.package.core.MyActivity? I though that when the name begins with a ., then the application package is used.

Re: [android-developers] Re: AppWidget disappears after updating app and moving code into a library
Could I please get some further confirmation on how to handle intents with
using this library and subclassing everything in the manifest?
The classes in the library create intents, just as...
new Intent(this, MyActivity.class)
...however, that won't resolve as the manifest defines the activity as
my.package.MyActivity, but the intent created would be
my.package.library.MyActivity.
Instead, I've replace every instance of...
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyActivity.class)
...with...
Intent i = null;
try {
i = new Intent(context, Class.forName(this.getPackageName() + . +
MyActivity.class.getSimpleName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
}
This is required to make sure that the Intents match the full class path
declared in the manifest, rather than the class path of the library. In
testing, this appears to be true, but I wanted to check with those who
know! :)
Thank you very much!

Re: [android-developers] Re: AppWidget disappears after updating app and moving code into a library
I'm considering that option, though I'm concerned about frustrating users. I suppose it's not terrible to ask them to recreate their widgets, but I hate to negatively impact them.

[android-developers] AppWidget disappears after updating app and moving code into a library
Hi, I've 2 versions of an app, for which I just merged the code into a single library that I reference from both apps. In testing, I found that if an appwidget existed on the homescreen for this app and I updated to the new version using the library, the LauncherModel.java would delete the widget, logging Log.ehttp://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.3_r1/android/util/Log.java#Log.e%28java.lang.String%2Cjava.lang.String%29 (TAGhttp://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android-apps/2.3_r1/com/android/launcher2/LauncherModel.java#LauncherModel.0TAG , Deleting widget that isn't installed anymore: id= + id + appWidgetId= + appWidgetId);. I found that this was due to the change in the AppWidgetProvider in the manifest. It changed to reference the class that moved to the library. To resolve that, I moved the class back out of the library and directly into the project and reverted the manifest for those receivers. This resolved the deleting widget... error, but now the widget isn't rendered by the launcher at all after testing the update. I checked /data/system/appwidgets.xml, and the widget is still listed there. The appwidgetprovider is still called and my service runs, pushing the update, but there's no widget on the homescreen. It's not invisible, as I can long press on the area where the widget was and I get the wallpaper choser. Why isn't the widget fully preserved across this updated? To clarify, my testing procedure is this, on an emulator with API Level 15: 1. Install version 1 of app 2. Add a homescreen widget 3. Update to version 2 of app 4. Widget remains 5. Update to version 3 of app, with code moved to library 6. Widget is gone, but traces still exist. The appwidgetmanager still recognizes it when calling getAppWidgetIds or getAppWidgetInfo Any help would be great as I'm getting no information from the logs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I should add that I can create new appwidgets on the homescreen with the newest version, but existing widgets don't appear even though the onUpdate is called in the AppWidgetProvider.

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget disappears after updating app and moving code into a library
OK, I found a solution, but I feel sick for what it is... After reading about how classes declared in the manifest should never change, I went and creating each class in the manifest as a class in the app, extending the corresponding class in the library. Then, I had to change every Intent to include the correct class, using forName. So, and example of this scenario is: app package: com.sample.package activity: MyActivity library: com.sample.package.core activity: MyActivity There's a MyActivity in the app, and a MyActivity in the library. The MyActivity in the app simply extends com.sample.package.core.MyActivity. Then, any occurrence of... new Intent(context, MyActivity.class) ...in the library must become... new Intent(context, Class.forName(context.getPackageName() + . + MyActivity.class.getSimpleName()); If there's a way to do this through the manifest, please let me know!

[android-developers] Android SQLite Example Project
I have created an open source Google Android App, hosted on Google Projects to help new Android Developers get up to speed with how to do some various development tasks, and provide some reusable code that all developers may use. The Google Project URL is code.google.com/p/my-android-sqlite-example- project/. I am looking for some constructive feedback, suggestions on how improve the code, to help ensure good solutions are being provided. The audience for this project is intended to be software developers who are new to developing Google Android Applications, and also for those developers that are searching for a clean and simple SQLiteOpenHelper Database Adapter implementation. I have provided some documentation in the downloads section of this project, to help you get started, including the full downloadable Eclipse Android Project source file in a .ZIP file format, and an executable Android .APK file, built from this project (refer to the description for installation instructions). The project consists of a simple list activity for demonstrating how to do different things in Android, including: - A SQLiteOpenHelper database adapter, how to properly open and close it, etc. - A custom AlertDialog?.Builder message box - Logging messages, warnings, errors, etc. - How to export SQLite database data - How to sort data through a custom Preference Activity - How to clean up objects in onDestroy - How to make menu icons - How to add animation to buttons - How to create User Interfaces - How to use the string.xml file to populate labels, text, etc. - How to create a date-select button - And more. Have fun, this is meant to be educational, and constructive feedback is appreciated. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Suspended app
I think i put my analogy up here wrong. It would be like getting puled over by a cop but the speed limit sign says to stay within the limits of the written rules, the rules are not clear on what the speed limit is and where the line is drawn between going over it and under it, and if you do get pulled over, you just get a fine and a notice mailed to you saying that you broke a driving law in your country and that you should review the driving laws with no notice of whether or not you were going too fast, too slow, swerving in the road or what. If you were told exactly what you did then at least you have something to start with. Google doesn't have any way to appeal the suspension, has no way to find out what they did not like in your app, and has no one to talk to. They don't even respond to email inquiries about it. Its a communistic system they built so they don't have to deal with the problems. I understand what you all are saying, in technicalities some of it is right, some of it I don't agree with, but whatever. Yes, I had part of a copyrighted image, but so do hundreds of other paid apps. Does that make it right for me to use it? no. BUT when so many others are getting away with it, I can't see that this was the issue. The same argument with the name. Regardless, this whole situation helped me see a certain type of app missing from the market. I'm going to retool what I have again, remove any existing app name from the title and make something new, something that isn't out there in the market.

It would be a fair argument is no other app could have angry birds in the title, but this isn't the case. Did you even read my response or did you just jump to the you're an asshole conclusion? I'll repeat it for you: *Dude, there are A LOT of Angry Birds coat-tail riders, but there's limited resources to curtail them, so they go for the big boys first - like the one sitting cozy in 4th place.* * * The Android Market has no up front review, so there's going to be a lot of people violating the terms - they'll never all get caught at once. Again, just because there are other people doing the wrong thing does not give you the right to also do the wrong thing, nor to bitch when you get caught and are facing the consequences for doing the wrong thing. If you go look at my app on appbrain you'll see that I copied NOTHING from the angry birds app ... except the title ... and the names of the Angry Birds levels ... and the very recognizable red bird image for your icon ... which you already admitted. Dude, are you delirious? , don't accuse me of copyright infringement when it didn't happen. *You* said: The only other infraction I see is one that hundreds of other developers did, they used artwork from the app. *You* admitted to using copyrighted artwork from the app. But copyright infringement didn't happen? Why? Because others were doing it too? Will you share whatever you're smoking please!? if you search angry birds you'll see hundreds of results, its a moot point that my app has angry birds in the title when so many others are using it as well. No, the moot point is that other apps have the words in their titles when you do as well. *Your* concern should be with *your* responsibility to uphold the contract you agreed to when you signed up for the Android Market. Don't worry about what others are doing, as frustrating as it may be that they seem to be getting away with it. You were coasting just fine and look at you now. They'll get their turn in due time too, probably. The reason of pointing out what other people are doing is simply that their apps are not suspended and mine is.

[android-developers] Suspended app
Hi everyone, been searching and searching but not finding any answers or good information. Am hopeful that someone can help me. To start with, yes, I've searched groups and google for answers but there don't seem to be any. My app, Angry Birds Walkthrough Portal, was suspended from the Android Marketplace. This is all that i received from google about it: This is a notification that the application, Angry Birds Walkthrough Portal, with package ID com.abwp has been removed from Android Market due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy. For specific details regarding this particular suspension, please see the Intellectual Property and Impersonation or Deceptive Behavior sections of our Content Policy. Please also be advised that your application’s title, description, and screenshots are also subject to the above Terms. Please review the Content Policies, Developer Distribution Agreement, and Business and Program Policies before you create or upload additional applications. Please also consult our guidelines on rating your application. If your developer account is still in good standing, please feel free to make any necessary revisions and upload a new version of the application that is compliant with the above terms. Please be advised that violations may result in a suspension of your Android Market Publisher account, and may also result in actions, including possible suspension, taken against any associated Android Market Publisher, AdSense, Google Checkout, or AdMob accounts. If you have an official license to use the protected assets evident in your Market listing, you can open the appeals process by providing this documentation in your reply to this notification. Thanks, The Android Market Team Any ideas what they are referring to? Here's a link to what the app looked like and the description from appbrain.com: http://www.appbrain.com/app/angry-birds-walkthrough-portal/com.abwp Yes, i did use keywords in the description, but so does google and numerous other extremely popular apps - xconstructions for instance, the lite version has been downloaded over 5 million times and they are an editor of choice ... yet they use keywords. My keywords did include angry birds, but that being used as a keyword is completely related to my app. The only other infraction I see is one that hundreds of other developers did, they used artwork from the app. Actually though, the image i used for my icon wasn't even from a screenshot of the game or their website (Rovio's) it was from somewhere else, I can't even remember now it was last year. Has ANYONE had any success at contacting google, disputing the alleged infractions and getting their app reposted? Yes, I can retool the artowrk, I already did that and I re-released it, but I lost all the comments I had, all the ratings, all the +1's. I had the best placement possible, int he top 4 most viewed and downloaded next to angry birds, angry birds seasons and angry birds rio - all before I added the keywords, which even google themselves do. Then they mention impersonating an app - clearly, based ont he description and the title of the app it is NOT angry birds ... WTH, you know? I make an app, pay my developer fees, pay them 30% of what I make in sales and I can't even dispute these charges? I can't even see who complained about these allegations against my app? For all I know it could have been another walkthrough dev complaining that my app was like theirs. What about all the apps with duplicate names? The ones that blatantly rip off artwork from Angry Birds and other games? Why are they still there if mine isn't? Ok, so I link to YouTube videos - plenty of other apps do that as well, why are they still there? Can't I go and complain about apps that do the same thing as mine yet were released afterwards? After beginning to go through this horrid experience, I've come to find out that oogle has incredibly lacking support for the people that make them money, their developers. This is ludicrous that i can't even talk to anyone about the infractions they mention or even dispute it. Why don't they warn you about it and give you 24 hours to fix it before removing your app? When I released the walkthrough portal I was one of very few devs doing it, now the market is proliferated with walkthrough apps for Angry Birds ... and I lost my number one placement to all of them and I can't even dispute it ... please, leave your rants or comments or suggestions, i'm open to anything. To anyone who is going to post something like you violated the TOS, you knwo what you did - get lost, I wouldn't be posting this if I knew what I did wrong, i'm not doing anything anyone else isn't doing. Also, does anyone know if you can refund the purchase price of an app yet let the purchaser keep it? I'd like to let the people who purchased the old suspended app but the new version yet refund them their money but let them keep the app. Let me know how to do this if it is possible.

[android-developers] line and rectangle intersects
I was wondering on how to make line and rectangle collision detection.
lines have starting point x1, y1 and ending point x2, y2 and also of
thickness of line width. the rect would be top, bottom, left, right.
intersects(x1, y1, x2, y2, w, rect r)
{
returns true if intersects else return false.
}
I was thinking of taking the edge lines of rectangle then test if the
lines and rectangle's edge lines intersect but I don't know how to the
test the collision detection between two segment lines not to mention
that the line being tested has width. is there any better solution? or
suggestion? or maybe there something in libraries of android that I
don't know yet.

[android-developers] Test Driven Development with Android
I wanted to see if it was possible to use TDD with Android application development. Thanks to Robotium, I've had great initial success. One of the issues I ran into was how to use the camera during my smoke tests. Using information learned from the Robtium mailing list, I created a fake camera application that will allow you to effectively mock out the camera during your tests. I'm quite sure you could apply this pattern to other types of Intents as well. The FakeCamera app's source lives at https://github.com/bryanl/FakeCamera, and you can see a video demonstration of TDD in Android at http://bit.ly/android-tdd-1.

[android-developers] Unknown Camera-GPS Issue
I am working on an augmented reality-type application. I noticed an issue with GPS not updating as expected. I have put a counter on-screen so that I can keep track of how often onLocationChanged is being called. The GPS receives lock ok, and begins calling onLocationChanged. After some time (less than a minute) onLocationChanged will stop being called, and the GPS location is no longer being updated. This happens whether we are standing stationary or driving in a car. We can usually get the GPS to continue updating if we set the phone down on a surface with the camera sensor down (so the screen shows nothing but black). After that it will continue to update for some time before again stopping. We've produced two more applications to help debug this issue. One is this application: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/graphics/CameraPreview.html modified to work with Android 2.2. We've added a LocationListener and an on-screen onLocationChanged counter and nothing else. This application functions the same way as the augmented reality application, with intermittent stoppages in GPS updates. The other application is just a location listener and an on-screen counter, without using the camera. That application works perfectly fine. The location listener never stops updating, and functions exactly as we'd expect. We've tried requesting location updates with different time and distance parameters, but they don't seem to affect functionality. We've used two different HTC Inspire 4G phones to test this, and both function the same way. We've also tested on a Motorola Droid 2 that did not seem to have the same issue, although we were not able to test as thoroughly on the Droid 2. The HTC Inspires are running the stock HTC Android 2.2.1 OS. Any ideas? Is there any reason the GPS would work better when the camera sensor is covered and not letting any light in? That's the variable that seems to affect functionality the most (although it's not completely consistent). I've found a few threads that mention an issue with using GPS and the camera simultaneously, but all have been open-ended, unanswered questions.

[android-developers] ADK on WIndows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK - emulator hanging
Nobody here has reported quite this problem. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 machine with 64 bit Java: java version 1.6.0_25 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode) The ADK installation seemed to work well. However, the emulator does not start properly for me - running tools\emulator -versbose @AndroidVD1 causes the main emulator window to open, 3 other DOS windows flash briefly, then disappear too soon for anything to be read, then the emulator window hangs. Does anyone have any clues to what might be going wrong? Thanks Bryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hopefully I got the copy and paste correctly for all that.
I'm happy to try any suggestions as I'm in the states now with time to
work on a fix. Next week I'm going to get a new SIM back in Canada
and see if swapping that out fixes the issue however I've tried a
similar SIM card and the network connection results were the same.
Though I didn't grab the debug output from the other SIM card.
If this should be filed as an issue I can certainly do that.
Thanks,
~ Bryan

[android-developers] Fwd: Contact Organization in Emulator different than Phone
Hi: I haven't seen my post in the forum. If I have missed the post, can you send me the link. I am stuck on this and hoping the answer is obvious. Thanks beeman -- Forwarded message -- From: beeman bbbe...@gmail.com Date: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 2:01 AM Subject: Contact Organization in Emulator different than Phone To: Android Developers android-developers@googlegroups.com Hi: I am developing using Eclipse and the targeted SDK version is API 7 (Version 2.1). My phone has Android version 2.1-update1. When running on the emulator, the contacts have an Organization section and within that section is Work Company, Title... When running on the phone, all contacts (Google and Phone) don't have the Organization section. So the app runs on the emulator but not the real phone. I am using the API 5 class ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Organization to update Contact Organization.

[android-developers] Pre-process headers/data in browser application
I would like to create my own Web browser either using the out-of-the- box Browser app source with slight modifications or via WebView directly that has the ability to pre-process (inspect possibly modify at times) both HTTP request and response headers + data. How is this possible? I've seen some discussion about using a local proxy, but I cannot find anywhere (e.g. in WebView) to set proxy settings for my instance/browser only. Another discussion I read was about using loadDataWithBaseURL() with proxy address -- however, it seems this may work for the 'main' page, but additional resources (external images for example) would not be proxied. Again, this is for my _own_ browser/application, I am not asking how to proxy all traffic.

[android-developers] KSoap2 issues
Hi, does anyone know how to use Ksoap2 to send out a body request with more than 1 element? I have been working on this for days, and cannot find a suitable response, but the issue is that ksoap2 can only support the use of a single parent element within the soap request body. Here is the snippet of the soap body that I need to form As you can see, there is both a taskContext, and a cuidLookupQuery within the soap body which comforms fine to soap standards, but when I try to package this with Ksoap, it only allows me to have a single parent element within the soap Body.

[android-developers] Open proper app with intent
Forgive me if this is a topic that has already been discussed, but
I've searched for hours and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking
for. I'm trying to cut my teeth on Android programming with a simple
file manager app and currently have most all functions working, but I
can't seem to open a selected file with the appropriate app. Here is
my current code:
/
**/
String extension =
MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl((String)label.getText());
String mimeType =
MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
if (mimeType != null
MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().hasMimeType(mimeType)) {
try {
File fileToOpen = new File(filePath + / + label.getText());
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(fileToOpen), mimeType);
startActivity(i);
}
catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, Could Not Open File!,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, Unknown Mime Type, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
/
**/
The strange thing is that I get some rather interesting results with
this code. On my handset, it doesn't seem to want to open doc files at
all, but will open the one xls file I have without a problem in
Docs2Go. Also, when throwing about 10 pdf files at it, it will open 2
of them with no problem but claims Unknown Mime Type on the other 8.
Theoretically, this code should find the extension on the file, then
figure out the appropriate MIME type from the extension, then call the
activity handing over the MIME type as an argument, but theory doesn't
seem to be enough to get me through this one. Any suggestions you guys
can make, or tutorials you can point me at would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!
-Bryan

[android-developers] Signing key got corrupted some how. Getting Invalid Keystore Format in the Eclipse signing wizard.
I have a paid application, that I recently published. For one reason or another, I didn't make a backup copy of the key signature. After fixing some bugs, I tried to sign the application again as an update, through Eclipse's export as a signed app wizard. On the screen where the alias is usually selected, i get a message saying Invalid Keystore Format. My real issue is how to handle publishing the update as a new, separate application, with regard to the users who have already purchased the application. Would I issue refunds for the original purchase for users that purchase the new, separate application? That is what I had thought of as a solution, but am not sure how that works, or what the process is to do that, if it's even possible.

[android-developers] Re: Word-wrap EditText issue
Beside finding the source of the issue, I also found the solution. If 'android:inputType' used, then 'textMultiLine' must be used to enable multiLine support.

{
SurfaceHolder sHolder;

}

[android-developers] Password and SQLite security
I have been searching on google for information regarding application passwords and SQLite security for some time, and nothing that I have found has really answered my questions. Here is what I am trying to figure out: 1) My application is going to have an optional password activity that will be called when the application is first opened. My questions for this are a) If I store the password via android preference or SQLite database, how can I ensure security and privacy for the password, and b) how should password recovery be handled? Regarding b) from above, I have thought about requiring an email address when the password feature is enabled, and also a password hint question for use when requesting password recovery. Upon successfully answering the hint question, the password is then emailed to the email address that was submitted. I am not completely confident in the security and privacy of the email method, especially if the email is sent when the user is connected to an open, public wireless network. 2) My application will be using an SQLite database, which will be stored on the SD card if the user has one. Regardless of whether it is stored on the phone or the SD card, what options do I have for data encryption, and how does that affect the application performance? Thanks in advance for time taken to answer these questions. I think that there may be other developers struggling with the same concerns. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Conditionally show/hide listview item
I have a listview activity that uses SimpleCursorAdapter to populate the list from a SQLite database. The database field in question is an INTEGER data-type, set with either a 0 or a 1 value, in a boolean format, 0 being false, and 1 being true. In my listview, I want to show a textview conditionally only for rows from the database that have a boolean 1 for the field in question. I am not sure how to show or hide a textview value, and possibly even set the value of the textview for a listview row item based on the value of the database field value. Has anyone ever dealt with this before, or know where it has been addressed previously. Please give me some advice on how I might get this to work. Or direct me where I might learn how.

[android-developers] How do I test the CDMA package/radio in the emulator
Hi, My application makes use of cell tower info, specifically the CID for GSM. I'm able to test this on my G1, but I don't have access to a Droid phone to test the same functionality, baseStationId, for CDMA. How can I test this in the emulator so that I can support Droid phones? Thank you! Bryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: how can I target api 1.6, but use packages from 2.0 (and safely)
Thank you everyone for the helpful replies. I've used a class wrapper
as detailed by the android backwards compatibility blog to add support
for Droid. It runs in the 2.0 emulator as expected, though is there
anyway to emulate the cdma modem? Thanks!

You absolutely can. In fact Java gives you a lot of neat things you can do.
For example, if you want to write a Service that uses the new
onStartCommand() on 2.0 but still works on older versions with the old
onStart(), just write it like this:
@Override
void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
handleCommand(intent);
}
@Override
void onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// Consume command, so old onStart() is not called.
handleCommand(intent);
}
// Handle start from either old or new method.
void handleCommand(Intent intent) {
// ...
}
This article covers a lot more of what you can do:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/backward-compatibility...
Note that reflection is useful for simple things, but for more extensive use
of APIs you can follow the wrapper class approach which works very well.
You can basically have large sections of you app using newer APIs, and as
long as you don't try to run those classes you will be fine. (So in fact
another approach you could take is to just look at the API version and use
one class code vs. another based on it.)

Thanks for the quick reply.

[android-developers] How can I receive cell location updates?
Hi, I'm trying to receive cell location updates in a background process, but I've only found very power inefficient ways of doing so. PhoneStateListeners stops listening when the phone sleeps, and require a period wake up. The broadcast intent android.intent.action.SIG_STR, doesn't appear to be broadcasting. LocationManager isn't quite the right fit, and I suspect it fails the same way that the phonestatelister fails, being built with a listener. The broadcast intent PHONE_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION, isn't appropriate. I'd rather not wake up the phone periodically when it may not have moved an inch for hours, such as overnight. The trigger should be a cell, not time, based. Is there any way of doing this, such as a gsm broadcast or something like that?

[android-developers] Re: App name/icon problems on Hero after reboot
For what it's worth, I stopped using the Sense UI in favor of the default home, but did not wipe everything first. Upon entering the default home for the first time, all my apps had the right names/ icons. After resetting though, they were displaying in their mangled state in the default home. Does that tell you guys anything? If the apps are displaying incorrectly in the default home, does that mean that HTC has changed the packages themselves, or is it just an issue with how they are displayed?

[android-developers] Re: App name/icon problems on Hero after reboot
I just installed Light Racer on my Sprint Hero. Had never installed it before. Rebooted and it was fine, still named Light Racer, still with the same icon. I assume this is because you updated Light Racer and I had never installed it before. However, I am having this problem with several other apps, which variously use their full name (com.x...) or their icon changes to something weird: Where (icon) Quick Settings (icon) ASTRO (icon) Coin Flip (name) Meebo (name) Handcent Sms (icon) Reinstalling any of these fixes the problem, which will then come back after a reboot. Let me know if more data from me would be helpful. On Oct 29, 9:58 pm, Robert Green rbgrn@gmail.com wrote: Justin, Did the app name say Light Racer or net.rbgrn.lightracer after the reboot? That was the problem with it. I had a version out that used a raw string as the app label in the manifest. This updated one uses @string/app_name. If you confirm that it's the correct name and not the package name, then that's certainly one of the bugs right there. People that have installed it when it had the raw string app label never seem to get it fixed. Even updating to the one you claim works doesn't work for them. It's like once it's broken on the device, the cached data never goes away. That makes we wonder if there is a way to clear data on one of the system apps that will reset that cache...

[android-developers] Android Market app suspended. What do I do?
I received notice that my application was suspended yesterday around lunch. I've contacted support via email and the publisher support form with no answer as of yet. What can I do to resolve this issue? The violation was that after paid app support hit the UK, a UK company (non-software) with the same name as my app yelled at Google. The result? Suspended my application entirely, not just for the UK. I love that the company didn't merely email me, in which case I'd have happily resolved the issue. So here I sit, waiting and powerless. A lot of people have purchased the app and expect updates. I have an apk with a new name, but can't do anything with it. The developers console has no clickable options. Is this how the market works? One social inept company can shut down your app permanently under shady pretexts? I didn't know that they exist. It was in error.

[android-developers] Orientation Sensor yaw values. Is your G1 compass bad?
I've been trying to figure out the cause of a compass related error for a while. After debugging and standing out in the rain slowly spinning in circles for a while, I finally found out that my device is reporting back yaw values inconsistently. For example, the range of offset from magnetic north is +/- 46 degrees. The average offset is just under 20 degrees. Depending on how I orient my G1, the error can go to 46 degrees off of magnetic north. Has anyone here experienced similar results when reading yaw from the sensor? I've gotten a number of reports from others complaining about inaccuracy with compass type results and am wondering if this is a per phone error or if all of the G1s have poor yaw/orientation sensors. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] geo fix # # # command skews the entered coordinates
Hi. I'm trying to track GPS updates in my app using telnet and the

math and breaking the coordinates. The margin of error is significant
ranging several hundreds of feet. Does anyone have a solution for
this?
For example:
geo fix 45.52304 -122.640155 reports back 45.5241677167
-122.63536678. The numbers are consistently wrong.
relevant code:
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
Log.i(TAG, LAT: + loc.getLatitude());
Log.i(TAG, LONG: + loc.getLongitude());
}
