[android-developers] market? issue
Yesterday I shipped a bug fix update. The update is a workaround for
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7189
+import android.view.MotionEvent;
[...]
+add_phone.requestFocus( View.FOCUS_DOWN );
+add_phone.setOnTouchListener( new View.OnTouchListener()
+{
+ @Override
+ public boolean onTouch( final View v, final MotionEvent event )
+ {
+switch( event.getAction() )
+{
+ case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
+ case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
+if( !v.hasFocus() )
+{
+ v.requestFocus();
+}
+break;
+}
+return false;
+ }
+} );
+
With that change users running Android 2.3.x can now get a keyboard
when they click into my WebView form fields, yay!
But then this morning a long time user sent me a screen shot of Google
Play telling him his device is not compatible with my app!
I have reviewed my git commit and nothing changed except a few lines
of Java you can see above, and the version numbers in my
AndroidManifest.xml:
-android:versionCode=55
-android:versionName=1.1.2
+android:versionCode=56
+android:versionName=1.1.3
No permissions changed, no SDK version changes, still at 2.2 just like always.
Any idea how to fix this situation? We're a SaaS company and via
Google Play I just killed his service because I simply shipped a
workaround for an Android keyboard bug.

Re: [android-developers] Oauth2 'Signing In' screen

All seems to be going well except that after authorizing my app Google Play services swaps from the nice white confirmation screen to a full black screen saying 'Signing in... This can take a few minutes'. I know that when you first setup a Google account it is possible to take multiple minutes to do the initial sign on but in my testing this screen appears for typically less than a second. Apart from looking ugly it could be a disconcerting for a user - especially if you are not expecting it. Anyone got any ideas for how I could remove the message or at least substitute it with my own indeterminate progress indicator? I wrote a set of wrapper URLs around OAuth2 so I could more easily customize my interface and the login process on Android. You're not tied to Android just because you want to use OAuth2, it's just a web service that happens to have some hooks in Android. Here are a bunch of the URLs I learned from while writing the wrapper code: http://gregdonald.com/2012/04/25/google-single-sign-on-using-django/ And this was a major help too: https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ -- Greg Donald -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Greg,
A couple of things:
a.) What versions are you seeing this in? Emulator only?
I'm developing mostly on a Samsung Galaxy S II. I can only imagine
how slow the emulator will be.
b.) jQuery (in general) is pretty slow on mobile devices. jQuery
Mobile has come a long way (in the almost 3 years since the project
started): http://jquerymobile.com/
Yeah, jQuery Mobile seems the way to go. I'm using vmousedown and
vmouseup now and my css changes work great.
$.each($('tr[class=click]'), function(i, obj) {
$(obj).click(function() {
Android.clickContact($(obj).attr('id'));
$(obj).bind('vmousedown', function() {
$(obj).css(background-color, '#f00');
});
$(obj).bind('vmouseup', function() {
$(obj).css(background-color, 'transparent');
});
});
});
I wish the Javascript binding was faster, but at least now I get some
tap feedback.
d.) Binding mouseup/down might be problematic with jQuery (due to
multitouch, trackball, etc).
On this particular project it's outside the market, and fortunately I
have the 5 phones we're targeting.. no trackballs :)
Thanks for the jQuery Mobile suggestion, works great.

And that's wrong, should actually be:

$(obj).click(function() {
Android.clickContact($(obj).attr('id'));
});
$(obj).bind('vmousedown', function() {

$(obj).bind('vmouseup', function() {
$(obj).css(background-color, 'transparent');

Realized it just now when I started seeing some double clicks in Android.

[android-developers] Javascript binding issues
I'm working up some new code that uses Javascript binding, described here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html#BindingJavaScript
1) Is there any way to speed it up? There's about a 2-3 second delay
before a click executes my Javascript clickContact() function in my
activity. I'm attaching to my tr with jQuery, like this:
$.each($('tr[class=contact]'), function(i, obj) {
$(obj).click(function() {
Android.clickContact($(obj).attr('id'));
});
});
I tried attached to my a tags, but that's just as slow.
My Android code:
public class ContactsJS
{
private final Contacts con;
private final Context c;
public ContactsJS( final Contacts contacts, final Context context )
{
con = contacts;
c = context;
}
public void clickContact( final String contact_id )
{
con.clickContact( contact_id );
}
}
WebView contacts = (WebView) findViewById( R.id.contacts );
contacts.addJavascriptInterface( new ContactsJS( this, this ), Android );
It works, but it's really slow.
2) How can I get WebKit to provide some sort of click feedback? Since
I have problem #1, described above, I really need to provide some
click/tap feedback. My jQuery code below works great in Chrome and
Firefox, highlights red like expected, but in the Android browser it
doesn't do anything. I had some debug code in there, mousedown and
mouseup never fire.
$.each($('a[class=click]'), function(i, obj) {
$(obj).mousedown(function() {
$(obj).parent().css(background-color, '#f00');
}).mouseup(function() {
$(obj).parent().css(background-color, 'transparent');
});
});
I also tried the other mouse events described here:
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/mouse-events/
And I tried attaching to the trs and tds instead of my as, can't
get anything to fire in the Android browser.
How can I provide some click feedback for my slow Javascript binding?
Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] SSL Android
That's pretty much what I'm doing. I have a self-signed certificate on this one game I built and this method works fine with that. It doesn't matter who signed your cert (especially these days) so as long as you're hitting an https url. It's the encryption you care about, not the certificate authority who signed off on it.

Re: [android-developers] android and real time
Real time kernel is just a kernel with a particular scheduler compiled in. It's not going to make your device faster. It just means jobs get executed differently than with other kernel schedulers. They get a more fair cpu time slice is all. This will actually make long running jobs take longer since there is more context switching between jobs all the time.

Encryption without authentication is worthless: who cares if your data stream uses unbreakable 1-bit quantum encryption, if you are sending the data to the wrong place? My Android game is the only client of my self-signed setup. I do not need to worry about data going to the wrong place, I do not process credit cards or interact with anything but the game client. I'm not buying into the CA racket for such a non important thing as an Android game. Self-signed is fine for this case. The server and it's streams to my Android app are just as secure if I had spent the CA money. And while you're freaking out over me not paying the CA money, I'll add.. I've worked for several employers who hosted their own in-house email and such and self-signed certs are very popular in those instances. I know of two major health care providers in my town who use self-signed certs for PHI. And finally, I have another Android project at my day job. I use an actual CA cert for that. We have client data being passed.

I don't get why if( this != null ) evaluates to true when the stack trace seems to imply the Activity is gone already. 2 - You rotate device while it's still showing. Exactly what I'm hearing. Rotate, boom. Why doesn't try/catch work? I *think* because dismiss is asynchronous - calling dismiss just puts the dialog in the queue for cleanup. I think. Geez..

[android-developers] getOrientation() madness
Using API version 7, this code produces the exact opposite results on
my Evo versus my Galaxy Tab:
switch( getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getOrientation() )
{
case 0:
display_mode = MyApplication.HORIZONTAL;
break;
case 1:
display_mode = MyApplication.VERTICAL;
break;
case 2:
display_mode = MyApplication.HORIZONTAL;
break;
case 3:
display_mode = MyApplication.VERTICAL;
break;
}
log( display_mode: + ( display_mode == MyApplication.HORIZONTAL
? HORIZONTAL : VERTICAL ) );
I switched to API version 13 to see if the problem was fixed in the
future, and it also tells lies from one device to another.
I have dynamic full screen graphics that cannot be skewed. I'm having
to write code to compensate for the Galaxy Tab's 48 pixel bar at the
bottom. getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() says it's
800 but it's really only 752 due to the bar. Now I find I cannot even
count on the display orientation being accurate to code up a fix for
the initial problem.
So how do I contend with this mess?
What other devices can I count on to lie about their display and orientation?

[android-developers] BroadcastReceiver not working
I can't get my BroadcastReceiver to work. I'm not getting any errors
so I'm not sure what the issue is.
My class looks like this:
public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive( final Context context, final Intent intent )
{
Log.i( l, onReceive() );
Log.i( l, context: + context );
Log.i( l, intent: + intent );
if( intent.getAction().equals( Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL ) )
{
String number = intent.getExtras().getString( Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER );
Log.i( l, number: + number );
}
}
}
I am using the statically publish method. I have an entry like this
between my application tags in my manifest:
receiver android:enabled=true
android:name=com.example.shared.CallReceiver/receiver
I have the READ_PHONE_STATE permission in my manifest:
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE/uses-permission
To test it I am simply placing an out going call. The problem is I
never see any of the log messages I am expecting to see. What am I
missing or doing wrong?
Thanks.

How can I get the outgoing phone number?

Another thing I do (which works in my case because db access doesn't happen all that often) is open the database before every transaction and close it at the end. So in addition to only being able to have the single db instance, you also find you have to take precautions (using transactions) to only give it one query at a time? Am I understanding correctly?

[android-developers] caller id spoofing
I've searched and found nothing helpful so I'm now asking for guidance. I have a client who wishes to spoof the caller id for his phones he assigns to his sales staff. He wants the number to appear to be from his main office to better handle return calls from potential buyers. Is this possible? After reading many posts on this list and much time Google'ng, I'm thinking it's not. Meanwhile he is pointing to his internal phone system which does exactly as he described. All his office phones appear to dial out from the same number as far as the receivers caller id is concerned. How can I pull off the same on Android?

On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 5:22 PM, dm1973 david050...@gmail.com wrote: Google doesn't set eCPMs. The market does. eCPMs function on a supply/ demand curve. The supply went way up when they let more developers into the program. Hence the eCPM drop. In my experience google pays about as well as anyone. Not for me. When I first got into the beta program I began making a lot more than the ad guys I was using before: Greystrip and AdMob. That huge increase in revenue has since gone away and now I see no reason to choose AdSense over anyone else. And it isn't so much that users don't understand about the arrow (that is some of it). It is more that developers are no longer getting paid for misclicks. All my ad integrations were reviewed by Google before launch. There was only the tiniest chance of any mis-clicks because my banner placement was not close to anything else the user would ever click. The net is the same (you get less money) but it isn't like Google is making more off your lower reimbursements. They are making more by cranking up the volume of ads they serve. And yeah it sucks as a developer when your revenue is cut in 1/3 over 2 days. I saw a 90% drop in AdSense revenue overall from June and July to now. And that's the difference between thinking I could do Android development fulltime or not. I can only hope it picks back up before the holiday season.

Is there some setting that I'm not correctly configuring?
You might try using full urls and implement you own shouldOverrideUrlLoading():
public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient
{
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading( WebView view, String url )
{
view.loadUrl( url );
return true;
}
}
I'm guessing it's failing because your hrefs to your named anchors
aren't full urls, or you need to tell your webview to follow your
clicks, or both.
