For example if someone is adding a new custom address into a contact he/she can also give a name description (a label) of that address. I know how to indetify the type of the address but I don't know how to retrieve the label. If you have any ideea please help. (I'm trying to do this in SDK 2.0.1 and up). Thanks in advance! Topic: Application Model Doc - reference please nuvibob Mar 04 07:36AM -0800 ^ Someone referred to the "Application Model Doc" in a post and I am looking for such a doc with that title. Can some provide a link? It is in reference to methodology to have a notification interact with an application. "Application Model doc, which outlines two of the most common ways to have notifications interact with applications. " Topic: Catch HTTP error code with WebView Manuel Vela Mar 04 07:37AM -0800 ^ Hello! Is there a method to catch HTTP error codes with a WebView? Because my goal is to capture a 401 code but nothing happen with "onReceivedError". Thanks for your answers! Topic: MediaPlayer Problem Bholu Mar 04 05:08AM -0800 ^ Hi, I have already developed MediaPlayer Application for Android 1.5. In this mediaPlayer, I have created Local Server in Android which download data from Media Player Server and that Local Server is passed data to Media Player. MediaPlayer is Successfully Running on Android 1.5. But, When I am going to try this media player source code in android 1.6(higher Version) then Media Player is unable to play data. what Is reason I do not know? but When I am going to dig my source code then I found that MediaPlayer is unable to called "onPrePared(MediaPlayer mp)" because MediaPlayer Process is going to stuck in "prepareAsync()" Function.. Can you tell me when this happens? Thank you in Advance.. Regards Bholu play data. Topic: How to end the Application? vinoth Mar 04 03:29AM -0800 ^ How to exit from the whole application.?(Not from the Activity) Topic: Is it OK to use Thread instead of Service in Android home screen widget? kknight Mar 04 10:15AM -0800 ^ I am writing a home screen widget following Jeff Shakey's tutorial, http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-home-screen-widgets-and.html. This tutorial uses service to avoid any ANR timeouts. I just wonder, can I use Thread instead of service to do the work of getting data and updating RemoteViews? I don't want to create a service, because Thread is easier to handle and pass data into Thread. Thanks. Topic: disable activity transitions Hekki Mar 04 03:57AM -0800 ^ Hi, Romain Guy in a recent twitter mentionned the overridePendingTransition which is api level 5 : http://d.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#overridePendingTransition(int, int) Api level 5 is Android 2.0. To use this function only if it exists in order to maintain Android 1.5 compatibility you need to look at the getMethod/invoke pattern. For example, I use it to check if there is multitouch support (api level 5 as well). First you check if a method exists in a particular class using getMethod wich throws a NoSuchMethodException if it's not found : try { getPointerCountMethod=MotionEvent.class.getMethod("getPointerCount", int.class); } catch (SecurityException e) {multiTouchExistInSdk=false;e.printStackTrace();} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {multiTouchExistInSdk=false;e.printStackTrace();} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {multiTouchExistInSdk=false;e.printStackTrace();} Then later on when you want to actually use the method in your code : if (multiTouchExistInSdk) { multitouchSdkObject=getGetPointerCountMethod.invoke(event); int numberOfPointers=((Number)multitouchSdkObject).intValue(); } Hope that helps. Yahel Topic: Find/Set Value of Spinner Phuah Yee Keat Mar 04 09:18AM -0800 ^ The question is how to get from "red" to "2", getSelectedItemPosition is to get from "2" to "red", I am facing exactly the same problem as the first poster. The way I do it is by bruteforce, looping thru everything in the adapter and comparing the "red" to each of it. Topic: Adding a new api in android Anandi Mar 04 05:26AM -0800 ^ Hi all, I am a beginner in android development. I want to add a new api in android. Can anyone please provide some information on this? I refered to one readme available on net, but i felt lost while following it. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to some good information. Regards, Anandi Topic: New AT&T Android Phone Selig Arkin Mar 04 10:45AM -0800 ^ According to some reviews the new Android phone from AT&T Replaces Google with yahoo as the default search engine. from a littke poking around to switch it back I just need to install the GoogleSearch package thing from the tree - since this phone is not yet out, I can't be sure, but Am I on the right track with this? Terribly sorry if this is the wrong group, Topic: Andriod with XML-RPC weirdness MikeK Mar 04 11:14AM -0800 ^ I have some well-debugged XML-RPC interfaces on a site that work wonderfully from both PHP and from JAVA. Using Eclipse I am able to write Java apps using either the Redstone or Apache XML-RPC libraries quite simply. These test cases using the 2 libraries utilize JavaSE-1.6 (jre6) libraries as well as one of the 2 xml-rpc libs referenced above. No problems. My problem is making this work on Android. I have added ADT to my Eclipse setup and easily executed the HelloWorld test using a virtual 1.6 or 2.1 Android device - no problems. Whenever I go into the Build Path in Eclipse and add the external jars for either the apache or redstone XML-RPC libs my console goes wacky with a ton of the following: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class that doesn't come with an associated EnclosingMethod attribute. (This class was probably produced by a broken compiler.) If I puch ahead and debug the code when it actually ships off the XML request I get an exception out of the XML library on permissions of some sort. Why does this only happen in an "Android" project. These libraries seem to have no problem running in Non-Android standard java configs. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this. Once we proof the ability to talk to our server we can proceed down the road of actually porting our app to Android. Topic: Regarding Sys time vinoth Mar 04 02:53AM -0800 ^ How to set the device time via an application? Is there any APIs available for this? Topic: Inadvertent zoom during text-input since 2.1update Low Fuel Mar 04 10:00AM -0800 ^ Is anyone else seeing this? Since the 2.1 update for the nexus one, when accessing a text input box inside a webview-based UI, as the keyboard is displayed there is a zoom-in that occurs. This wasn't happening before the update, and doesn't happen in the emulator either. Would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix. Thanks! Topic: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers Breezy Mar 06 07:24AM -0800 ^ Especially boxes the size of kilos of drugs. lol I'm sure 2-4 weeks is purely for the sake of giving us a timeline... It may be 4-5 days, but if they said that and for whatever reason you didn't get it, someone might throw a fit. We see it all the time... "Google promised me and they didn't keep their promise! I'm getting an online petition signed because that fixes everything, then I'm going to sue and own Google!" lol well you get the gist... 2-4 weeks is probably playing it safe. Thomas Riley Mar 06 09:51AM -0800 ^ Exactly! A perfect example of what you have just suggested would be a OTA Rom! :P Hekki Mar 04 02:55AM -0800 ^ Ok, I have to admit, I've been harsh on Google about the Android Market and the completely broken multitouch, but that's a nice move. I've been struggling with users with phones I don't have, which makes things very hard to debug. So this phone is very welcome and I really appreciate the gift. Thank you the Google team. Yahel PS : But I'll be back after you on the Android Market and the Multitouch matters when the euphoria dies :D Lucky for you it might not be dying too fast :D Topic: how to use undx tool pradeep vr Mar 04 03:46AM -0800 ^ Hi frns plss tel me the complete procedure about how to use undx tool (undx.jar) to disassemble classes.dex file to get .class files Topic: SDK And Avd Manager Slow Downloads and Stalls JBuck Mar 04 12:55PM -0800 ^ I have been having a problem with the SDK/AVD manager stalling during downloads. I google the issue and found a few other people with the same issue, but no apparent solution. I think I might have found a solution. If you have Windows 7 / Vista or the the New TCP stack for XP I believe it is the TCP/Stack Auto- tuning that is causing the issue. >From a elevated Command Prompt C:/ netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled Disables the auto tuning. Once I did this I no longer had any issues. We had a similar issue with some sync software we developed, which prompted me to look there. --- JB Topic: Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1 Sebastian Kleinau Mar 04 04:24AM -0800 ^ Hi, I am a computer science student working on a FTIR Do-It-Yourself Multitouch-Table at university. >From reading many papers about multitouch I know about a capacitive system called DiamondTouch where this effect also happens and is called shadowing. At the Internation Tabletops and Surfaces 2009 conference a paper by Berard and Laurillau was published that tries to solve that. Take a look at it: http://iihm.imag.fr/publs/2009/ITS2009_Berard_DTMultiTouch.pdf On page 2 figure 2 you will find an image showing exactly the same problem and the text also describes why this happens. If you further search Google for DiamondTouch and how this works you will understand the problem and that it is indeed caused by the hardware. I didn't read the papers in detail but I think it can't be completely solved by software workarounds (I consider that nobody would write papers about it if the problem was solved ;) ). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
