[android-beginners] Re: Emulator is Crashing
Are you talking about the emulator program crashing, or your application ? if the emulator program is crashing, can you give me the output of "emulator -debug-all" what if you try "emulator -audio none" ? what is your development machine (CPU, memory, PC/Mac), what OS does it run ?

[android-beginners] Problem configuring build path
Hi. I am trying to call one android application from another. Both these applications are working fine independently. The commands I have given are: Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName(android.sip.simpleclient, android.sip.simpleclient.SIPclient.class); startActivity(intent); But I am getting the error message stating that "android.sip.simpleclient can't be resolved". I tried the "Fix project setup" option but it gave the message "No proposals were found". So, then I tried to manually configure the build path of the project. But even after adding the target project folder into the "Required projects on the build path", the package needed is not being resolved. Please give me some advice regarding this. What am I missing?

The add() method on containers usually takes a LayoutParams structure, where you can specify the details that, in XML, you might express via layout_ attributes (e.g., android:layout_gravity). You can also inflate a widget, or a tree of widgets, from XML through the use of LayoutInflater, allowing you to describe the widgets in XML but still control when they get created and how they get used from Java. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Re: Mobile phones that support android application
At this point the only two commercially available options are the T-Mobile G1 (sold in the US and in the UK), and the Android Dev Phone 1 (sold in 18 countries). There are also some efforts to port Android to several other devices, most notably the OpenMoko FreeRunner and the Nokia N810 tablet, but those don't quite seem to have the same polish as the options I mentioned above and might not be ideal development devices if you'd like to see how your app behaves on shipping devices. Android being Open-Source with a very unrestrictive license, any manufacturer can download the source and port it to their hardware (or develop hardware around it) without telling anyone, so it's not really possible to have an exhaustive list at any point in time.

[android-beginners] IBM Rational & ADT Plugin :- Cannot find apk file
Hi, I have successfully installed the ADT in Eclipse Gannymead, w/sdk ver 1.0 and all was well. I then installed the ADT on another machine running IBM Rational App Developer 7.5 which is based on Eclipse 3.x. The install is ok, but when I try and run my app from within eclipse, I get an error saying ".apk" file not found. The file is however present in the project directory. Other posts seem to suggest that this is an issue with using a non-Sun JDK/JRE / keytool related. Changing the IDE to use a Sun JDK did not seem to solve the problem.. But then I am not sure to what extent the SDK change in the IDE has on plugins etc... Has anyone else faced this problem and overcome it ?

[android-beginners] of databases and content providers
I am trying to follow the NotePad example in order to build a utility which will retrieve the geolocation of the phone, convert the location to other useful formats, and then store the location data in a db table so that other apps can use the different location formats. I am unable to figure out the content provider portion of my code. I looked at notepad and some other examples and I cannot figure out where I am going wrong. I am getting an error in my lag that states: "Bad element under manifest ." Here is the code from the .xml: However, Eclipse does not show any error in the syntax of the element. I placed a log out statement in the OnCreate() method in the Provider class that I wrote and that never gets printed. I assume that this is at the heart of my later "failed to find provider" error since if the Provider never fires, then it would not be available.

[android-beginners] Accessing Vibrate from a child Activity?
Hi all, This is going to be very simple but I'm still trying to get the hand of how classes and Activities etc tie together in java. I am using the Lunar Lander code as a base for a simple application. It has the main class and a gameview class to handle all the drawing etc. I have looked in the SDK for code to vibrate the phone and I found this: Java: Vibrator vibrator = (Vibrator)getSystemService (Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE); vibrator.vibrate(500); If I put that code in the OnCreate within the main class it works fine. However, if I put this same code in the gameview class the getSystemService highlights as an error with the following message: The method getSystemService(String) is undefined for the type GameView.GameThread I have had this same error with a couple of things I have tried to play with. How do I use the the getSystemService from the GameView Class? Thanks in advance. Matt. PS. If i'm being really stupid and this is very simple, please help anyway preferably with an explanation, I don't mind being made to look stupid as long as I can get it working!
