[android-developers] Auto-reconnect w/Bluetooth

2012-11-27 Thread ColorTheorist
I've attempted to find typical protocols as to how others handle auto-reconnection using Bluetooth on Android with their own devices. There is a chance that the device I will be working with will go into a sleep mode after a minute or two. When it does this, the bluetooth connection is

[android-developers] Dialog options from a library project?

2012-10-24 Thread ColorTheorist
I've noticed that when developing an SDK library project, there is a desire to have a check as to whether the bluetooth functionality is turned on for the device before proceeding. However, as a library project, I am restricted to the absence of my own activity. I had hoped to call the

I suppose I could let the application itself that uses the SDK be responsible for doing the check and turning on/off the blue tooth when needed, but I figured it would be nice if the SDK itself could do the check for them. I had been hoping that there would be a nice solution for it. -- You

While it is a bit confusing as to what complications would arise from devices meant to connect with an Apple device from an Android device, I have communicated with proprietary devices from HID devices over the USB port once a driver had been introduced to handle the communication. So I'm not

You'll have to use the sensormanager class and use thresholds as you have mentioned at the lowest level by subscribing to the accelerometer. From there you should be able to do what you want. If there are nice libraries that will do mathematical calculations that often accompany these readings I

Just a curious question, if as a developer, you find as a whole that it is necessary to make an application compliant with the emulator. Do some people actually download an app from the market with the intent on using it on their desktop away from their phone? I currently do not do testing on the

Sorry, that was just a throwaway comment. Eventually Motorola will become the gold standard for Android phones due to their proximity to the software, but in the short term they're no different than any other device. If whoever it was needs a phone today any of the phones that are out there should

One thing that I have noticed about some networks is that they block the particular ports through the router than would allow for users to communicate with the Android Market and could possibly be affecting your license validation as well. Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue would be.

That is the easiest way to get a still-picture capture from the Android device if you are working in the Eclipse environment. Just open up the DDMS perspective and up near the top left window of that perspective next to 'Devices' is a screen capture option. This can be used to save the picture
