[android-developers] Weird EditText behavior in Android 2.0
Hi, i've bumped into some weird behavior in Android 2.0 in the emulator: newly created AVDs show some kind of a Japanase (if i'm not mistaking) IME when i type in the textbox. The text is shown in the IME but not in the textbox. I've also seen that disabling certain options which are enabled by default in Language Keyboard settings temporarily fix this for a number of sessions, but then it randomly reverts back... Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, Teo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Choosing Dev Phone
You can quite easily setup an emulator that has the market app on it. I did this once Cyrket went off the air as it's a lot easier to view the position of my apps on the emulator than the actual device. Search Google for that topic to find out how to do it. Free, paid and copy protected apps can be viewed. Don't know about downloading, as I haven't tried that, nor am I interested in doing that on an emulator. -John Coryat Radar Now!

[android-developers] Re: Choosing Dev Phone
I can only give you my impressions from a user of the Dev phone 2 which has been previously released as the Google ION (at the Google IO 2009 conference). It's a very nice device, I use it as my regular phone now, on ATT with a $15 data plan and the usual voice plan. It works quite well, runs 1.6 perfectly, hopefully it will also run 2.0, I suspect it will or they wouldn't be advertising it as a developer phone, most likely same with the G1. The G1 seems a bit clunky to me. The keyboard is weak and flimsy, plus the processor seems slow. I've only tried one one time so take this into account. -John Coryat Radar Now! #20 in News and Weather What Zip Code? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] How to answer comments on your apps
I've been puzzled by the lack of ability for a developer to answer comments made on the market by users. It has been frustrating to see negative comments or questions made and be unable to do anything about them... I've found an easy to use, yet undocumented method to do this. First, download and install your own app. Second, wait for a comment that you need to respond to, then simply add a comment of your own prefaced by Developer comment: - your comment will appear as a new comment. Each comment made sticks in the comments list, so you can effectively answer anything made on your app. Google should have mentioned this, it's so easy to do. Paid apps may have a problem doing this as developers (for some reason) can't download their own paid apps. -John Coryat Radar Now!

[android-developers] Re: Can not find my own App in Android Application with G!
I'm just guessing here, but if your app is a paid app then you're not allowed to download your own app for some odd reason (it's in the terms), so if you used the same Google account to upload the app as your G1 has, you shouldn't be able to see it on that device. -John Coryat Radar Now!

[android-developers] Possible bug with Intents and PendingIntents on Android 2.0 AVD
Hi everyone, i have some code that is creating and removing alarms, and which works great in Android 1.5 and 1.6 but breaks on the Android 2.0 AVD. The code that's giving this exception is: Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class).setFlags ( Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK).putExtra(SleepDB.KEY_ID, 0); PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0 /* id */, intent, 0); The second line has the problems, the one which actually gets the broadcast. I pasted below the relevant part of the log: 11-07 12:08:56.042: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't use FLAG_RECEIVER_BOOT_UPGRADE here 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1222) 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1206) 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): at android.app.ActivityManagerProxy.getIntentSender (ActivityManagerNative.java:2053) 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): at android.app.PendingIntent.getBroadcast(PendingIntent.java:230) 11-07 12:08:56.062: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(242): at com.teo.lifestyle.sleep.Utils.deleteAlarms(Utils.java:57) I googled FLAG_RECEIVER_BOOT_UPGRADE but there were no results.

I'm guessing there must be some sort of non-disclosure involved with this Droid thing and Android 2.0, or else we would have something to work with. It's a bit frightening to think that there could be 100,000+ devices sold on day one and I've never seen the SDK, don't know if my app will break or have any idea what workload I'll be stuck with when the release reaches my desk. The real stinker here is that the popularity index in the market seems to be tied to the retention percentage (the number of people that download the app and keep it). If my apps malfunction on this droid thing and 2000 people download it, find it defective and uninstall, the app will plummet in the rankings (Radar Now is currently 60%, #28 in News and Weather and #478 overall). -John Coryat Radar Now!

Strangely, the market asks for 320x480 screen shots then reduces them in size by a few pixels, and sort of smudging them in the process. It seems like it would have been smarter to ask the developer to deliver the properly sized image so that this pixilation wouldn't be necessary. -John Coryat Radar Now! (just passed 5000 downloads!)

I have an even weirder problem with one of my apps. In the market, when my What Zip Code? app is clicked on, it shows a loading message that occupies the top 1/3 of the screen. It never loads anything. If you do a back key, then go back into it, the app description displays fine. Strangely, my other app doesn't have this problem. The only Android phone I can test this on is my own. If someone else could test this for me, I'd appreciate it. Just search for Zip Code and it should pop up. Thanks in advance.

There would have to be some controls to prevent upgrades and assurances to the rest of the developers that nothing else was changed to improve their apps or allow everyone to update, which would probably really annoy the heck out of anyone who figured out they had a problem on September 2nd and didn't make it to the finals.

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
I wonder how many of the users judging the applications have submitted their own applications and are just voting other applications down to improve their own chances of winning... That's a rather cynical view, however, one that's probably close to the mark in a lot of cases. I've been testing apps since the judging began and frankly, the judging app is slanted toward apps that can produce the desired result with little or no user interaction or understanding of what the app does. If you require the user to actually understand what you're offering, with registration and other details, you're in for a bad time in ADC2. I think it was probably less than ideal that the judging app can only work one article at a time. It might have been more fair and even if it could have held a universe of apps the user would like to try out. -John Coryat Radar Now!

Are you kidding us or you really want to have TV ads in all countries where Android phones are sold? :) Where in my post did I mention TV ads? TV coverage is about media exposure. You may have heard of CBS, CNN, CNBC and the other networks. They put enough time into covering lottery jackpots, spelling bees, pie eating and other events, why not this contest? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Now ADC2 judging has begun.
I have to agree that any complex or involved apps will not make it with the way the judging app is written. Google should have made it so you could keep the apps you're judging for a while at least, in some sort of special directory, so you could use them for a few days before deciding if they were worth it or not. Making instant decisions on how good it is will defeat a number of well deserving apps. On the other hand, all my entries are exactly the type that can be easily judged in this fashion. They require no user input, no instructions, no sign in or registration, barely any knowledge about the actual topic and are easy to understand, so for me, the app is slanted in my favor... Good on that but it would be better for the developer community if this thing was written so the apps would stay around for at least the judging period. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

Last night I reviewed about 20 apps also and had no problems at all. Today, I've not been able to review a single one. I get stuck in the download stage as well.

[android-developers] Re: Now ADC2 judging has begun.
I have to say that the judging app is a bit disappointing. There is no way I can see to skip an app, or if it's not applicable (such as traffic in England - I'm in the US), to not judge it. There should be a way to indicate NA and continue. How do you judge an app that you can't run? All 1 stars? All 5 stars? Either way, it's not a valid result. It certainly makes the judges less than satisfied with the results. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

[android-developers] Re: Trying to get Javascript on Android
The reason they don't work on the Android browser (or webkit for that matter) is that they are using mouse events. If you want to use that code on the Android you have to use touch events instead. Try reading up on the following: touchstart - finger touches the screen touchmove - finger is moving touchend - finger leaves the screen It looks to me like the first example you listed should be fairly easy to update to touch. If you use these events, you should get better results. There's some good documentation for this in the iPhone docs. You'll have to search for it, but they have code examples as well. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

[android-developers] Re: Trying to get Javascript on Android
It probably will work, mouse and touch events won't happen simultaneously. As for touch, you can have multiple finger touches (think iPhone) which can be interpreted differently than anything that can be done with a mouse. Android doesn't (I believe) support gestures at this point but may in the future. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

[android-developers] Re: Trying to get Javascript on Android
In a word: YES! Implementations of JavaScript vary across all the major platforms, you have to be very careful about testing, test and more testing each time you make a change to any code on a web page. The worst offenders are IE6 and IE7. Safari has plenty of quirks and as the iPhone is a variant of Safari, you'll have to have an actual device (or the emulator at least) to test on as well. The most compliant is FireFox, and the Android browser will work pretty well if it works in FF, however, the events are different. Search for touch events to see how to handle them in regard to mouse events. GWT has solved a lot of these issues but if you want to code in raw JavaScript, then you'll need to be very careful. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

I think a lot of developers, especially ones from the web world, forget that these mobile devices are like desktop computers of the mid-90's in power and speed.

Just because it runs on FF with your quad core monster doesn't mean it will do anything but cry for momma on the actual mobile device. -John Coryat What Zip Code?

The problem with a non-development phone (or a locked one) is that the carriers demand such unreasonable terms, like two year contracts and all. In my area, T-Mobile is available but doesn't work in my home. The 3-g here for T-Mobile is slower than dial-up and is only available in a tiny fraction of the local area as well. ATT has better service, the ION I have only has the Edge network but it works far better than T-Mobile. If I was forced to go with T-M, I would have a rotten experience, a long contract and two phone numbers. My ION works with ATT without a contract, I pay only $15 a month for a data plan and am quite happy with the service.

Displays the results as a shaded outline of the Zip Code along with your location and closest street on a map. Website: http://www.usnaviguide.com/zip.htm The app is a companion to this website. We have about 250,000 monthly visitors to the site that are mostly business professionals interested in territory management, real estate and other things. The app is on the market and has had about 1200 downloads, pretty amazing considering the small number of Android devices. ADC2 impressions: I received one of the Google ION phones at Google IO back in May. I had been working on iPhone apps but switched to Android to develop an entry for the contest. It took me from May 27th to August 5th to get this one ready and I had about 3 solid weeks of testing the app before submitting it. The members of this forum and especially Mark Murphy helped immensely. I believe the contest was designed with developers like me in mind. I hadn't considered working with Android before and when Google handed me one of those beautiful ION's, I couldn't help but dive into the system. I have no illusions that this app will do anything but entertain a few judges, it's not earth shattering or polished like the winners in ADC1, but for those that want to know what zip code they're in, our app is the absolute best tool ever created. The only alternative would be to knock on someone's door and ask them what their zip code is.

I would suggest that anyone who plans on submitting an app to ADC2 submit it first to the market for debugging and to catch unforeseen problems. -John Coryat On Aug 24, 1:11 am, Khurram Samad khurram.sa...@gmail.com wrote: I was so upset with the delay that i finally gave up and released the application at Android Store :) Check out Gang War Lite On Aug 19, 5:44 pm, mscwd01 mscw...@gmail.com wrote: I'd like it postponed a month please ;) It would be good to know either way though...

[android-developers] Re: get area name using latitude and longitude
Not sure what you mean by area name but the process you're referring to is called reverse geocoding. -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

What is the simplest way to check whether my app can access the

As long as the site opens before the end of the month, what difference does it make? -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You can always purchase an IO phone (Ion) from eBay, probably for less than the $400 for a dev G1. -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: UnknownHostException
Could any please confirm that this is a bug in the SDK.Due to this we face a lot of issues in our app. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2764 On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Guru gurudut...@gmail.com wrote: I saw this thread(since it is a dead thread--starting a new one): http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/cd5be36a07ad1a3d/ba559f2e2ff06e32#ba559f2e2ff06e32 I have also encountered such problems in the emulator. What I was interested in knowing is that ,is this an emulator problem or a problem in the SDK. Many of our users complain of errors while they are using the app.Actually the users get Unknownhost exception.And this exception does not appear when the users re-start their device.Can some one shed some light on this.
