In your AVD Manager, you define how large of a virtual SD card to have
in the AVD. It's called SD Card.

You then transfer files to it using the DDMS File Manager, or via the
adb push command.

documentation mentions mtools but I cannot seem to find a version for
Windows - all the downloads seem to be for Unix. Any ideas?

I downloaded the video sample and tried to run it
but the screen remains blank. However I suspect it is becuase it
cannot find the file. It seems like it is designed run the file
test.mp4 on an SD card on a real device.

Or a test.mp4 file on the emulated SD card on an emulator. It still
will not play well in an emulator, but the lack of the MP4 file will
not stop you.

Can I make the sample work on the emulator.

Yes. Put a file named test.mp4 in the emulated SD card on the
emulator. The specific MP4 file I used in those screenshots is the
Documentaries and You video from here:

 From the 3rd activity i want to go back to list activity and show the
 previous contents when the back key is pressed.

Please allow the BACK button to go to the previous activity, since
that is a meaningful activity. Please do not break the user's
expectation of what the BACK button does.

If you are using an action bar (native, ActionBarSherlock, etc.),
having your logo in the upper-left go to the initial activity may make
sense. To do that, add FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP to the Intent you use with startActivity()
when they tap that logo.

I have looked into the listview and abslistview classes of android.

Scrolling in not initiating a call on onMeasure or onLayout, but only 
invalidate. 
For some reason I am not been able to debug these classes (can put

Where does children laid out when scrolling starts (layoutChildren is not 
getting called by a call to invalidate)?

Async Task are UI Threads, probably that's the reason.. try creating

download status from service and update that in the UI whenever required..

[android-developers] How to Increase frame rate (fps) from onPreviewFrame??

2012-01-19 Thread muhammad.ume...@hotmail.com

hi,
I am getting frames from onPreviewFrame, compress to jpeg image
with YUV and send over the network(TCP),
but the problem is, i want to increase the frame rate. Now it is 4fps
but i want 15fps and my image size is 4- 6 kb what can i do to
increase frame rate, here is my code

public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {


Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
int format = parameters.getPreviewFormat();

 //YUV formats require more conversion
if (format == ImageFormat.NV21 /*|| format ==
ImageFormat.YUY2 || format == ImageFormat.NV16*/)
{
int w = parameters.getPreviewSize().width;
int h = parameters.getPreviewSize().height;

// Get the YuV image
YuvImage yuv_image = new YuvImage(data, format, w, h,
null);
// Convert YuV to Jpeg
Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, 320, 240);
ByteArrayOutputStream output_stream = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
yuv_image.compressToJpeg(rect, 30, output_stream);
byte[] byt=output_stream.toByteArray();

 try {


  obj.writeObject(byt);
  obj.flush();


   // Log.d(TAG, onPictureTaken - wrote bytes:  +
data.length);
  } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 } finally {
 }

   Preview.this.invalidate();

I use this code to to schedule run Service.

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) 
getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
PendingIntent pintent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, i, 
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, 
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + RECHECK_INTERVAL, pintent);

It works. But when I kill the app in task manager. Alarm doesn't run it 
again.
Why? Where is problem?

Because all pending alarms for an app are removed when it is killed (force 
closed). So don't kill your app.

Have you looked at AbsListView.OnScrollListener?

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsListView.html#setOnScrollListener(android.widget.AbsListView.OnScrollListener)

As for breakpoints, perhaps the framework sources you use for debugging are
not quite the same as used by the device.

 I have looked into the listview and abslistview classes of android.

 Scrolling in not initiating a call on onMeasure or onLayout, but only

 For some reason I am not been able to debug these classes (can put
 breakpoint only in abslistview but not listview).

 Where does children laid out when scrolling starts (layoutChildren is not
 getting called by a call to invalidate)?

Okay I got it done using the DDMS file manager. I have to say your
original thoughts about reasons for the video not playing is
absolutely correct. With your app I can also hear the audio but cannot
see any video. I can also see the all the control buttons and the
progress bar. I do not get the control buttons on my app but in my app
I'm using the MediaPlayer directly - not through MediaController.

I guess I will need to move to using a real device.

[android-developers] How can I get a user-defined sysproperty in an Android app?

2012-01-19 Thread petter

How can I get a user-defined sysproperty in an Android app?

In a plain Java app I can do something like:

target name=run depends=git.revision
java classname=main fork=true
  sysproperty key=git.revision value=${git.revision}/
/java
/target

And in main.java I do:

String gitSha1 = System.getProperty(git.revision);

But how can I do this in an Android App? I can get predefined system
properties like java.specification.vendor etc. but I don't know how
to attach my userdefined sysproperty to the dex generation.

I can also get around this by generating a source file containting the
properties, but I was hoping for a more suitable method.

You don't, because you aren't in control of the VM.

 I can get predefined system
 properties like java.specification.vendor etc. but I don't know how
 to attach my userdefined sysproperty to the dex generation.

You don't, because userdefined sysproperty has nothing to do with
dex generation any more than it does stock Java VM bytecode
generation. As you note, in standard Java, you are defining system
properties via command-line arguments -- there are no command-line
arguments for SDK apps.

 I can also get around this by generating a source file containting the
 properties, but I was hoping for a more suitable method.

You could generate a resource file containing the properties (e.g., an
XML resource).

Or, generate an asset file containing the properties.

Or, drop the properties entirely.

Re: [android-developers] threading : two independent events

2012-01-19 Thread vishal garg

Hi mark,

I feel I explained things loosely. Let me get into the specifics. I
have an application which does two things - collects GPS data and
sends to server in the backend and on frontend shows a
website(contains my customized maps). I am trying to get things work
simultaneously and it works fine on emulator but when I tested it on
the real device - samsung galaxy ace; the thing worked. Now, here is
the problem - if I analyze the data, though the application started
the GPS location finder but never sent anything to server. The website
loads once partially and then afterwards the whole application is
hung.

I tried to incorporate threading and Asynctask class but no solution -
gave Application Not Responding(ANR) error. Would like if anyone could
refer to similar examples or suggest a solution.

Code :
=
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

//downloading the website
setupWebView();
//getting the GPS coordinates and sending to server
getLocation();
}

private void getLocation() {
LocationManager locationManager =
  (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria,true);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1, 0, this);
}

 private void setupWebView(){   
  webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
  webView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
  webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
  webView.loadUrl(MAP_URL);
  }
=

 The processes are independent and but the code gets stuck in the first

But echoing, what do you need from it?  Typically when Android does

Re: [android-developers] Re: content provider

I think you seem to be misunderstanding the use of content providers in Android.

In Android, there is a heavily sandboxed model. If you write an app,
there are a variety of ways that you can persist information.
SharedPreferences, files on SD, databases, just to name a few.
However, in theory apps should not be allowed to touch other apps'
data (however you will note this is not the case on either a rooted
device or some situations in which you put files on the SD card,
etc..). A content provider solves the problem of presenting a common
interface to external apps who might want to interface with your app
to exchange data, it's not intended for interfacing with things like
external web services. This isn't to say it wouldn't be of utility if
you wanted to exchange data with another app on the device that synced
data with the server, or a number of other uses you might envision in
this scenario.

But in brief, if you want to sync with an external service, you don't
want to be using a content provider, you want to be using some library
which will do communication with the server using whatever protocol
you need (restfully, etc...)

[android-developers] [android developers] bluetooth insecure connection still requests pairing on my ICS

2012-01-19 Thread rapgaroo

I own a Nexus S and it's currently running ICS 4.0.3 (OTA from T-
Mobile). I have my own application which does Bluetooth connection
stuff using Insecure method to ignore the boring pairing process.
After when I updated my Android OS to ICS 4.0.3, my app is requesting
for a pairing with the Bluetooth device even though I'm using
createInsecureRfcommSocketToServiceRecord method. I already changed
API to 4.0.3 for the application but I cannot find any clear answer to
this type of problem.

I observed LogCat and the BondState goes from 10 to 11 when the device
requests for pairing. If I do the pairing for once, it does not ask
for pairing of course but it is not listed under paired device on the
Android system.

Also, in this case, the BondState goes from 10 to 12 when it
successfully connects to the device.

Anyone has advice or idea to this matter?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] change fastscroll overlay size

2012-01-19 Thread elliotn

I have a ListView which has fastscrolling enabled with the index to my data 
being between 1 and 4 characters long. Unfortunately, the 4 character index 
text is wider than the fastscroll overlay. 

I'd like to change the width of the fastscoll overlay. I see 
fastscroll_overlay_size defined in dimens.xml and used by 
FastScroller.java, but I don't see something like 
setFastscrollOverlaySize(). 

I don't suppose there is an easy way to change the overlay size 
programmatically that I'm missing? 

Thanks-
Elliot

[android-developers] Copyright question: Can I remix a Final Fantasy song and use it in my game?

2012-01-19 Thread hzakimoto

For example, if I remix battle themes from Final Fantasy series and
use it in my game. Will I get into copyright problem?

I'd be more than happy to put some credit text like this in my game:
Battle theme originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu, remixed by [my
name here]

I also saw a top game on Android Market using music(ending theme) from
Chrono Trigger.
It's a zuma-type game sitting on the Top Free page in the Android
Market. So I believe this is doable...?

Thanks in advance!

The answer is probably:

This is technically illegal but this game hasn't been pulled from the
market because the market is very big and nobody has reported a
copyright violation yet, if anybody ever does, then this app will
probably be pulled very quickly.  The market tends to take a hard line
on copyright inquires, and doesn't side with the developer too well,
you can read through this list's archives to find the horror
stories...

[android-developers] Android webview retain form data when orientation changes

2012-01-19 Thread IndianDragon

How to retain the form data in the webview after the change the
orientation ? I have used onSaveInstanceState() and I have restored
the previous state using restoreState(savedInstanceState). This
successfully restores the previous state before the change in
orientation but it does not restore the data in the text box of the
form in the webview.

What should be done to retain the data in the text box of the forms in
webview after the change in orientation ?

Note: I would not be using android:configChanges=keyboardHidden|
orientation as I need keyboard input for my application after
orientation changes.

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Android Custom Streaming Media Player

2012-01-19 Thread Ken

I have an application that streams videos from my server. The files
end in .mp4 and play fine in the default android player. The thing is
I don't get enough out of the ads displayed on the app as the time of
the user spent on my app is very less compared to the time spent while
watching videos. So, I was thinking of integrating my own custom video
player to the app I made and display banner ads in it while the video
is streaming.

How can this be done?

Hello all,

Been searching about the following subject but did not find anything
usefull. Hopefully there is someone who knows the answer to my
question (my school assignment:

Share a file or variable between 2 apps using the same UID

I read a lot of controdicting posts on the internet, and that it's not
supposed to be used by normal developers. I want to write data on
app 1 and read it from app 2, just by using sharedUserID and direct
access to the variable or file.

I need to have proof for my school assignment that the same UID  in
both Android apps can let them communicate.

Will someone who is not normal (aka Android super expert) and
knows the secrets of UID, please tell me how Been searching for
long...

Big thanks in advance =)

Chihwah Li

PS: my only demo apps is: 2 apps with the same package name then
access the file from 2nd app. But this demo is useless because the 2nd
app is de-installed because it's using the same packet name

Re: [android-developers] File encryption using AES

It seams like you encrypted the files as one file .
maybe you can stop  the encryption after one file is encrypted ,and restart

sorry for my poor english .

2012/1/17 chander mohan.c...@gmail.com

 Hi all,

 I am making a File encryption application,i am using AES encryption
 for doing this. In this, i listed all files stored on the SD card and
 then i gave a checkbox infront of files.

 1- User can select multiple files and on clicking ENCRYPT, these files
 will be encrypted in .enc format, i am storing files for passing
 into encryption algorithm in an Array List.

 2- But now i am decrypting the files in reverse order, i have to
 decrypt all files which are selected by user from .enc extension to
 their orignal extension. how i can move forward to do this, tell me
 the best way for doing decryption here?

 i am confused here at this point, how i decrypt to orignal extension.
 Please suggest me the way so that i can move forward.

 That page contains an example of a multi-line textarea in Flash.

 Try editing this textarea via Android and inserting a line break.
 Nothing happens when you press the return key in the soft keyboard. :-

 I have tried feeding KeyEvents to the WebView with different keyCodes,
 I tried 13 (ASCII line break), 66 (Android Enter key), nothing
 actually made a line-break appear in the code. When I tried other
 keyCodes (for example, a letter) the letter was appended to the
 textarea as expected. It seems as if the flash object blocks all line-

 I even tried feeding a line-break event via jQuery to the flash

 Does anyone know how to work around this bug?

 **Reproduction code:**

     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

         requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

         TestView = new WebView( this );

Re: [android-developers] Re: Service Being paused on screen off.

I didn't see the original thread you're responding to, so what's your question?

As in you want your service to stop using resources when the screen is
off, or the opposite.  In one of those situations you can hold a wake
lock to keep the cpu on, but not the screen, I believe.

[android-developers] Re: Copyright question: Can I remix a Final Fantasy song and use it in my game?

2012-01-19 Thread hzakimoto

Marble Blast:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ezjoynetwork.marbleblast

And here's the song mentioned:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1qbVI9iTBU

They didn't use the song directly though. It's obvious they remix it.
(The original song is a 16 bit sound from SNES system)

Directly using the song is obviously illegal. But what if I remix the
song myself? I'm also a musician.

Thanks again!

 Which game?

Re: [android-developers] How to manually dispatch key event for power button in android

This would do you no good. Not only can't you attack the device by
simulating a power button press, but you cannot respond to power
button events.

Nobody here can give you legal advice, that's for a lawyer to do.

In my opinion this will still be considered illegal, almost certainly,
but -- as I said -- I'm not a lawyer

I would recommend you make your own music... These types of music are so 
simple!  Just copy the structure of the song... And apply your own keys 
:)

Re: [android-developers] Re: Copyright question: Can I remix a Final Fantasy song and use it in my game?

2012-01-19 Thread Christopher Van Kirk

You're assuming that they didn't pay for the right to use that song. If 
you pay the copyright holder, you don't necessarily have to credit them. 
Whether or not you credit is up to the agreement you have with the 
copyright holder.


Anyway, this is a question of law not Android, so it doesn't belong on 
this list. Go talk to a lawyer.

Then come up with your own music?


As has been stated, you need a lawyer. This is way off-topic for this list.
In general, if you have to ask is this OK?, it's probably best to assume
it's not.

 Hello

 i have an XperiaNeowith android 2.3.4 and the last build from Sony.
 There is a strange gps issue (i think a bug). Every 5 minutes the
 signal gps drops for few seconds without reason.
 This happen every 5:00 minutes without exception. It is not important
 the quality or intensity of the signal, it drops anyway, with all
 software (maps, sygic, navigon, gps status etc).
 My phone settings are as follows: Gsm only, data connection off,
 roaming data off, my sim is disabled for traffic data, so no internet
 connection.
 Somewhere I read is the agps try to connect and keep data, but if is
 so, it is a bug, agps must not work during navigation.
 And now the strange thing, when i set Flight Mode ON, the gps work
 properly without problem !!!
 It is absolutely perfect and precise.

 Why this situation?
