[android-developers] too bad this forum is now useless due to spam

[android-developers] Is it possible to make a bluetooth connection with no user intervention?
I'm working on an app that will talk to certain pieces of hardware via bluetooth. The app will know the bluetooth password for each hardware device, and know which one you are currently near. So, even if the phone has never made a connection to a specific device before, it is possible to have my app establish a bluetooth session without prompting the user? So the user could just press the "connect" button to establish the bluetooth connection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Animation stops timer (newbie alert!)
I'm starting to play with doing some simple animations. I have one where I want a sound and animation to play every X seconds after a button is pressed. So I set it up like this: private ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor threadRunner = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor( 4); private SoundPlayer mSoundPlayer = new SoundPlayer(); private ScheduledFutureSoundPlayer playerFuture = null; private OnClickListener mClickButton = new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01); if (playerFuture != null) { button.setText(R.string.Button01); playerFuture.cancel(false); playerFuture = null; } else { button.setText(R.string.BtnStop); playerFuture = (ScheduledFutureSoundPlayer) threadRunner.scheduleAtFixedRate(mSoundPlayer, 0, 3000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); } return; } }; private class SoundPlayer implements Runnable { private MediaPlayer mPlayer; private TextView testShape; private Animation testAnimation; public void run() { if (mPlayer == null) { mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(getBaseContext(), R.raw.ding); testShape = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView02); testAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getBaseContext(), R.anim.testanim); } mPlayer.start(); testShape.startAnimation(testAnimation); return; } } The problem is that the call to startAnimation seems to stop the timer. The sequence of events is: Press Button (starts timer) Sound plays once Press Button (to stop the timer) Animation plays once Press Button (starts timer) Sound Animation play once Press Button (stops timer) nothing happens Press Button (starts timer) Sound Animation play once ... If I remove the call to testShape.startAnimation(), the timer runs, and the sound plays every 3 seconds until the button is pressed again. I must be doing something wrong with the animation, but I haven't been able to figure out what. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Android SDK installer can't find Java
I'm running Win 7 x64. I just downloaded the latest Android SDK installer - installer_r08-windows.exe When I run it, it tells me that I don't have the Java SDK installed. I do. I even re-installed it to make sure. It still can't find it. Suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Calling Tomcat server API's from Android app
Okay, I'm rather new to this and haven't been able to find a how to. We have a tomcat server running several Spring framework applications. I've written code for a desktop Spring Framework app to use the API's we've defined. That's easy. What I'm trying to figure out is how I can call those API's from an Android app, since (obviously) it's not running as a Spring Framework application.

Yeah, terminology problems can be fun. (NOT!) We have Tomcat running on a server machine at the office. It has a .war file generated that uses the Spring Framework. One of the API's this app provides is something like: public List getCurrentData( DataSpecifier params); In our Java Desktop app, I just ask the Spring framework for the service object, and then I can do: List data = service.getCurrentData( whatdatatoget); That makes the call to the server, and marshals the resulting data back into the appropriate objects in my application. I'm trying to figure out how to do the equivalent from the Android app - since it is NOT running the Spring framework. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Calling Tomcat server API's from Android app
On Sep 3, 8:53 am, Frank Weiss fewe...@gmail.com wrote: That makes more sense. What is the class of the service object? I'd like to look at what Spring packages you are using. There are a few solutions that come to mind. 1) Find a Dalvik JAR of the client library for that Spring service package. 2) Add the necessary Spring client source code to your Android client project. 3) Use the more loosely coupled XML/JSON/REST client-server architecture. Perhaps someone who has used Spring with Android can pipe in. However most of the client-server code I've run across for Android used option 3) and some use SOAP or XMLRPC. Thanks, that is helpful. Our desktop app uses: ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(ApplicationContext-gui.xml); AppService service = context.getBean( AppService); All the specific class names are in the XML file. If all else fails, we could include the relevant Spring source in our app, but it is rather bulky. I'm hoping we can go the XML/JSON/REST route. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] onEditorAction and requestFocus()
I have a case where there is an EditText field the user enters something into, then presses the Enter key. In the onEditorAction() method, I do some validation, and if it's not a valid input, I want to put the focus back on the EditText field. I've found that using .requestFocus() won't work - probably because the focus change happens after the call to onEditorAction() and overrides my call to requestFocus(). So, how do I put the focus back on the EditText field, from within the onEditorAction() callback? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
