[android-developers] Re: Do I have to test my app on Dev Phone for ADC II
If you're working with the location service, then a real phone is a must. The emulator only briefly flirts with the location service, the real device is quite complex and has a number of failure modes not present in the emulator. -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID longevity
According to the documentation, this setting: The Android ID (a unique 64-bit value) as a hex string Question: How dynamic is this value? Is it unchanging throughout the life of the device, the same across Android versions or what? I'd like to use this constant to identify a distinct device without having to get anything like phone number or other settings that actually identify the user.

Actually if I see an app I have installed spewing logs, I will often uninstall it because it is so annoying and greatly reduces the amount of information available in the log if I need to track down something going wrong with my device. Fyi, it is very easy to conditionally compile them -- just define a static final boolean DOLOG = false value, and check that before each log.

I just did a test. location.getTime() 1248184334000 System.currentTimeMillis() 1248184346934 It appears as if the GPS tracks time down to the second and it can vary from the Automatic setting by quite a bit. This example shows a variance of about 100 seconds between the two. Perhaps the best strategy would be to save a time difference as a setting for the app, while updating this value every time a difference is noted. -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Try IteratorGpsSatellite instead of just Iterator. The code will run
just fine in this case, but you lose any compile-time type-safety checks
for down the road (e.g., you accidentally try assigning an
IteratorString instead of an IteratorGpsSatellite).

[android-developers] Re: How do you display many points on a map?
The standard way of handling the too many points problem is to use a clustering system, either server based or client based. Clustering converts the many markers that can appear in one area, usually determined by a matrix, into a single marker. Another method is to limit what is loaded into the map by using the map bounds as a selection criteria. As the map moves, new points are loaded and ones out of view are dropped. Still another method is to use an image overlay instead of individual points and develop your own method to make the points active. There are several strategies to accomplish this but essentially, the meta data associated with the image is loaded into an array that is analyzed as the pointer moves. This method works better than individual markers as there are far fewer objects and DOM nodes created. If you're interested in learning more about these methods, I suggest visiting the Google Maps API discussion group and research the archives. There's a lot of information on these specifics on that forum. -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Use own map layer in Google Maps
You could call a Google API based map that uses a custom tile layer or other type of overlay as a webkit page directly from an Android application. The easiest way to do so would be to use a parameter based positioning method, another words, pass the coordinates of interest to the map via lat and lng parameters to the page. It's not too hard to do this, nor is it too difficult to create a page with a custom tile overlay, putting it all together requires a lot of little things so if you're new to both Android and Google Maps API, then figure at least a month or two of hard work to understand the dozen or so pieces of the puzzle. Here's a link to a parameter based map that essentially does what you're looking to do with a whole image overlay instead of a custom tile layer. http://www.usnaviguide.com/v3maps/WhatZipCode.htm?lat=38lng=-123 -John Coryat --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Use own map layer in Google Maps
What JavaScript error do you see? I get none. This is a Maps v3 demo app, it should work well with any modern browser. The v3 API doesn't have a tile layer yet but it does have an overlay method. I wrote the one used in the demo. It handles whole image overlays so if you can create a single image that contains all your data then it works well. The v2 API has tile overlays which may work better for your application. The v3 api is smaller and faster, better for mobile apps. -John Coryat On Jun 23, 5:25 pm, JP jetp...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi John, Thanks for your reply. Gonna look into that tomorrow for sure!

I believe you can get time zone info using the coordinate from geonames.org.

[android-developers] Re: Geocoder backend service
This isn't really an Android question, however, if you are trying to create this service for the US, there are the Tiger shapefiles that contain a lot of what you're looking for. Search Google for Tiger Shapefiles 2008 for the details. They're available at no charge and have no copyright, so you can do with them as you please. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com http://www.zipmap.net --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: In need of a developer...
You might want to consider figuring this out for yourself. It's not that difficult if you use the tutorial book ($35) written by Mark Murphy at http://commonsware.com/ - tutorial 17 did it for me... I wrote a similar program without much prior knowledge myself in about three days of study. Your mileage may vary. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Prob using efficient list adapter
Actually ,I was able to get to the root of the prob.The problem is that
getView gets called multiple times(atleast 3 times) for each row by the
Adapter.Because of which when I am running a thread for the image to get
loaded from the network,I am getting unwanted results.This thread is being
called multiple times and causing unwanted results.Is there any way to make
sure that I call thread only once so that there are no unwanted results.Any
ideas.
Thanks very much

[android-developers] Re: Publishing Paid Apps on Android Market Can Cost You Money
What you receive from the Google checkout is a boilerplate e-mail. It would probably be a good idea if they changed that to one specific to the Android marketplace. Either way, you have a choice. List your app with the marketplace and pay the fees or use another payment method and pay their fees. As several posters have pointed out, it's the cost of doing business. If you sell 10 copies of your app and one bounces, then it could be important. If you sell 10,000 copies and 100 bounce, it's irrelevant. All a matter of numbers. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com http://www.zipmap.net --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Question on performance of layout inflater
I have question on what is the best approch to take.I have a header view in
all my screens of the app.
So is it best to have the setContent of the header view and then adding the
views by inflating them in the sub-class activity as below
Base extends Activity{
private Linearlayout mHeader;
public void onCreate(Bundle b){
setContentView(R.layout.header);
mHeader = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.myheader);
}
}
MyView extends Base{
public void onCreate(Bundle b){
m_Inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
ViewGroup layout = (ViewGroup)
m_Inflater.inflate(R.layout.actual_layout,
mHeader );
}
}
Or is it ideal to have the include tag in the xmls and setContentView at
once.

Thanks and Regards

FileInputStream from = null;
FileOutputStream to = null;
try {
from = context.openFileInput(fromFile.getName());
to = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = from.read(buffer)) != -1)
to.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead); // write
} catch(IOException ioException){
Log.i(getClass().getName(),ioException Msg);
Log.i(getClass().getName(),ioException.getMessage());
ioException.printStackTrace();
