[android-developers] Re: How to populate a ViewStub using different ImageButtons?

[schwiz]

You can get a handle on the views inside the switcher and change them
as needed, it just only holds memory for 2 at a time.

viewswitcher is probably better for what you are wanting to do
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ViewSwitcher.html
you can even assign animations for the views as they come and go if
you want.

[android-developers] live stream error

[schwiz]

I am making a basic activity to stream this live show
http://ice2.securenetsystems.net/WHBRM  here is the pastebin of my
activity http://pastebin.com/N5g69j7i

I realize that it is better to be in a service but this is just a
test.  Anyways it seems to be working fine except for in froyo my
error listener gets an unknown error about every 10 seconds.
Infolistener and bufferinglistener are also never called.

my hack of sorts using the errorlistener to catch the error and
restart the stream is working but since the error happens every 10
seconds or so it is making the audio very choppy.

I also get a system log that says MediaPlayer error (1, -2147483648)
before each crash
also AwesomePlayer Not sending buffering status because duration is
unknown.

I assume the second error is because its a live stream and it has no
end, however how do you handle that case.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice on the activities Mark I will definitely keep
that in mine unfortunately all of the activities need access to a
service and need to stand alone but you have given me some things to
think about maybe its time to start refactoring.  The getParent thing
worked I actually thought of it whilst sitting in the movie theater
today and couldn't wait till I got home to try it :P  BTW I saw two of
your books on the shelf at Barnes and Noble today :)

[android-developers] Re: onKeyDown not being called in TabActivity

[schwiz]

thanks for the suggestions mark but my app is way to complicated to
keep all of my logic in one activity which is why I have it separated
into separate activities with the tabs.  It was also an additional
requirement of my client to have some of the activities I made
separate like that so they can reuse them in other apps. All I really
want to intercept is the menu button, I just through an example of
Home not working because I put a Toast in onKeyDown to see what
buttons would fire it off and search was the only one.  Any idea on
how I can keep the tabs as activities and also intercept the menu
button?

[android-developers] onKeyDown not being called in TabActivity

[schwiz]

Hello all I am trying to override the behavior of a TabActivity that
has other Activities as children.  I have made all of the children
activities return false in onKeyDown so that the key will propagate
through to the parent.  However, this is not the case.  The only key
that is being recognized is the search key.  Back, menu, and home are
not being overridden.  Please help

[android-developers] Re: how to launch applications installed in a phone?

[schwiz]

There are apps like beautiful widgets that give you a list of all of
the apps installed on your phone and give you a choice of what to
launch when you press a certain button.  Also, the various homescreen
replacements that know what acitivities are installed on the phone and
how to launch them.  I think that is what he is asking about.   Guich
if nothing else take a look at the source code for the launcher apks
in the git and see how they do it.

your service will want to spawn its own thread or asynctask to do your

[android-developers] onPreferenceChangeListener question

[schwiz]

I was just checking out the developer docs and came across this
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener.html
I have an idea I want to possibly use for this but one quick question
if anyone knows.  It says in the documentation "Called when a
Preference has been changed by the user."
Does this mean that it won't be called if I am changing the preference
without user interaction in an PreferenceActivity but instead with
Preference.edit().commit() ?

Thanks.
Nathan

So I just watched the talk at Google I/O where they showed how to use
sqlite3 in ADB to help debug your database.  I didn't know you could
do that way cool.  So I was doing it on my nexus which is rooted and
it was working fine.  Then I went ahead and installed 2.2 and now when
I type sqlite3 in the shell it says sqlite3 not found  Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: samsung app store

[schwiz]

I don't know what unicast is you will have to explain it to me.  The
email came from nakhyun54@samsung.com
here is the bulk of the email.  The real fishy thing is they don't
even have the name of my application right...

Dear Wolframalpha developer,



My name is Nakhyun Kim and I work for Samsung Electronics.

I found your application "Wolframalpha" from Android market and
Samsung is interested in outsourcing your application for Samsung
application store.



The Samsung application store has similar policy and businees model
with that of Apple or Android. You can see brief information below.



- Platform : Android OS

- B/M : Same as Apple App.Store

For paid app, the revenue share that goes to developers
would be 70% and there won't be refund unlike Android market.

- Channel: Samsung Application Store in Korea



I believe this be a good chance to both parties. Samsung would be able
to provide good applications to Samsung mobile users while you have
another channel to distribute your application. Since you already
developed application with Android, there won't be extra effort that
you should take.



Please write me back so that we can further discussion.

I will look forward to hearing from you soon.



With Best Regards,

Nak-hyun Kim

[android-developers] samsung app store

[schwiz]

I have been receiving some emails from someone claiming to be a rep
for samsung and they are opening a new app store selling android
apps.  They have asked that I publish one of my apps they found on the
android market on their store. Just wondering if anyone else has been
getting emails like that and if it is legit?  I am a little weary to
give them my bank info to say the least.  The website looks legit but
I dunno...

[android-developers] Re: Cannot see device in DDMS

[schwiz]

make sure you have the latest driver installed and for the correct os
(32 vs 64 bit) I have had this problem with some but not all devices
at once.  I can't think of what else it could be but drivers though.

[android-developers] Re: I have a question in soft keyboard.

[schwiz]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, if you are talking about the
activity window resizing when you open your keyboard, that has to do
with the activity no the keyboard, try opening your keyboard in
dolphin browser or something like that and it won't resize the
background.  Sorry if that isn't what you are talking about.

So I got a Droid and also in the box was a Sprint USB 3G/4G modem, I

Android.  I think I got since my Droid didn't come with a free month

@jeka 5k isn't that big of a deal but having over 3.5 stars with 5k+

[android-developers] Re: Intent for editing text

Im thinking you might need to make your app an inputdevice, here is an
example here it isn't really just limited to softkeyboards

have your activity implement onEditorActionListener then handle it in
the method onEditorAction.

[android-developers] Re: Example that redraws on a key without using a thread?

[schwiz]

you have the right idea,  first make you activity implement
onClickListener, then pass onClickListener this instead.  Then you
need to either be extending from TextView instead of view, or be
calling canvas.drawText()

Yeah I commented that line out because I decided to just set it in my

The Layout is showing up fine because I can see the black outline, its
just the textviews inside still aren't showing up.

You make your own class that inherits from View and in the onDraw

[android-developers] Re: drawing children in custom linearlayout

[schwiz]

I actually did do that, I found that I do need to specify a background
color for the ondraw to be called, now that I am specifying the
background color my onDraw method is being called that draws the
outline around my linear layout, then I have onclick overridden to add
a textview to the linear layout with the background and everything
set, I get a log message so I know it is definately calling my onClick
method but the textViews just are not showing up.  Here is my revised
code http://pastebin.com/f1fb834ce  right now I have my own textView
class in there that I plan to override onLongClick for but I have
tried this with a regular textView as well just to be sure, and it
still doesn't work.

Stepping through this code even more closely I found that the onDraw

other view in the xml file is showing up custom and otherwise.
However, this is the only view that inherits from LinearLayout all of
the other just inherit from View.  Is there some special case or

[android-developers] drawing children in custom linearlayout

Hello I have a linear layout that I have overridden because I want to
dynamically add other views to it.  I am trying to add some textviews
to it and I call addViewToLayout in the onLayout method, stepping
through the program in debugger I am sure those are being called but
the layout is still showing up empty,  Any advice would be helpful!
Here is my code to help clarify http://pastebin.com/f571b278b
You may ask why I am not using a list view, and it is because I want a
very distinct style that goes with the rest of my app, especially the
black outline you see that I am drawing.

[android-developers] Re: Dialog sizing question

in the high rez layout folder make a new xml file and give your linear

so you don't need to worry about making it to big

[android-developers] Re: Android 2d graphics help

[schwiz]

an Activity is the same as your midlet, you will make a View and
override onDraw instead of paint, and you call invalidate on the view
instead of repaint.  There are a few different ways to draw images
from pngs depending on what you want to do.  Look into the imageview
class or make your own view and draw your own bitmap.

[android-developers] Re: RadialGradient question

[schwiz]

I appreciate the reply, however I don't think I understand, I have 2
colors I set the positions to  {.75f,.99f}  but it looks exactly the
same as if I just leave it as null.  I have tried experimenting with
some other values too but it always looks the same to me.
Here is a code snippet

positions = new float[2];
positions[1] = .75f;
positions[0] = .99f;
grad = new RadialGradient(circleX, circleY, circleR, colors,
positions, TileMode.CLAMP);
if(values[2] <= values[0]/2)Pallet.getInstance().white.setShader
(grad);
canvas.drawCircle(circleX, circleY, circleR - 3, 
Pallet.getInstance
().white);

Ok I was making a stupid mistake and not calling new before I set the

[android-developers] RadialGradient question

I am having problems with the constructor RadialGradient (float x,

Shader.TileMode tile) If I don't pass null into positions I get a
force close the logcat spits out a bunch of stuff about frame layout.

[android-developers] when is onDraw called, how to force it?

[schwiz]

I am working on a custom view which has text in it.  I have a touch
even that opens a dialog to change the text but after the text is
updated in memory it still doesn't update in my view until I touch the
screen again.  I am calling invalidate() in my function to update the
value of the text.  To try to help clarify what is going on a little
better I put a log entry in the onDraw override saying that it has
been drawn and it seems completely random, I have 4 views in my
activity and when I touch one on the screen some of them are redrawn
and others are not.  Can anyone offer any insight as to what is
happening?

[android-developers] Re: Any Tips for implementing free versions of applications?

[schwiz]

upload a paid version too, and in the free version keep track of how
many times they play or how long they play with preferences and then
don't allow them to start a new game and also give them a button to
take them directly to the market with your paid version.

[android-developers] how do you draw a new line?!

[schwiz]

This is really frustrating, I am trying to get a carriage return drawn
in my custom view and nothing is working.  I have tried
'System.getProperty("line.separator")' but that makes it say null and
I have tried '\r' and '\n' and those just both draw a little square.
I am using the canvas.drawText meathod.  Thanks for your reply!

[android-developers] Re: custom keyboard

[schwiz]

I thought about that, but the problem is that my app needs additional
math symbols but it still needs the regular android keyboard as well.
Is there a way to allow my users to toggle from my custom keyboard to
the built-in android keyboard without registering my keyboard as an
input method?  How do I even get to use my keyboard in my app without
registering it as an input method?
