I used the following code in batch file, but it's not giving any o/ p adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0003 0005 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0003 0001 001d adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0003 014a 0001 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0003 sorry i wasn't clear on the sendevent command sendevent expects integer values not hex value you have entered your first two commands should look like this adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 0 5 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 1 29 as for the last two commands you did something wrong with it as you touch the screen on the device it has to know the location and what happen there as android wants to know what did you do on that location your 0003 014a 0001 was incorrect after the location u sent you need to indicate what's happening 0001 014a 0001 the above would indicate a touch at the location however to do something useful you will want to untouch which indicate a tap gesture on the screen the untouch part looks like this: 0001 014a so to tap at 5 pixel from the left and 29 pixel from top top of the screen you would use this adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 0 5 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 1 29 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 330 1 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 330 0 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0 remeber sendevent expects integer values if it happens that a program icon in at that location the above code will indicate a tap on the program which android will launch it here is my commands for lauching a Messaging program on the emulator. the messaging program is located at x=39, y=262 on my emulator. after executing the code the Messaging program launched! adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 0 39 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 3 1 262 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 330 1 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 1 330 0 adb shell sendevent /dev/input/event0 0 0 0 if you want to know more about what's happening on the screen or when you press something get used to looking at getevent command dragging ( flick on the screen ) on the screen is a little more difficult, but not too different from the above commands for example flicking/dragging left or right on the android desktop/home screen will slide the desktop to the direction you flicked/dragged hope this time i explained more clearly. sorry for being long winded On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 10:21 PM, rk raj.10...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Kent, I tried this one with the sendevent but it's not working.

[android-beginners] Re: Store prepopulated sqlite database in an app
The problem with just using a db created on your desktop (as opposed to pulling one off the emulator) is trusting the endianness of your pc is the same as the target device, and the db versions match. Safer to just adb pull from an emulator and store it. On May 14, 12:41 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Basically, saving off a database from the emulator and blowing it up as a raw at runtime seems to work. Just create the database and store it on the emulator. Then use adb pull to pull the database from the emulator onto your desktop. Drop this .db in your project resources/ raw directory. Note that your technique should also work for SQLite databases created outside of the emulator. So long as you are running the same major release of SQLite, the file format will be the same. Hence, if you want to use some desktop tools to create the SQLite file you are baking into your APK as a raw resource, that should be fine. Also, bear in mind that you are now taking up ~1.5 times the amount of on-board flash space -- you have your full-size uncompressed copy, plus the original compressed one. There is no way to get rid of the raw resource after you are done with it. For small databases, this is not an issue, but I would not pack a large database in this way (e.g., 15MB). Finally, others have reported errors when attempting to expand large files out of the APK. I think the limit was 1MB or 2MB. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

That is not intrinsically safer than what you think is unsafe. If an app crashed unexpectedly after half of a row had been edited Is that like digging half a hole? then the database could have bad data.

[android-beginners] Re: I'm not able to receive more than two GPS position. The application hangs.
Hi,
I'm having a similar problem to yours and as far as I know sdk 1.5 has
introduced some changes concerning location. On the manifest the uses-
permission, as far as I know, ACCESS_GPS and ACCESS_LOCATION has been
substituted for ACCES_FINE_LOCATION.
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION is only needed in case you want to access
location info about the cell of your mobile antenna or wifi server,
which I'm afraid is not the case. The only other permission you should
activate is ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION and about the others I'm not sure
you'll need them.
Anyway the problem is not here, I've been looking to the API and I've
seen a method defined for LocationManager called
setTestProviderLocation(String provider, Location loc) which sets a
mock location for the given provider. Maybe it could be something
related with this method but I can't say, I'm having big problems with
this issue too.
I've found a lot of information and examples about mock location
providers for the older versions but nothing yet for the 1.5 and I
really miss some good information for starting with gps activities on
this new release.
Thanx all,
Pablo

Hi all, my application read info from theGPSprovider and shows it on

The problem is that the locationListener is executed only twice for

I tried to create another thread to print some other information at
the same time to verify that the application is still running, and it
was so. However, the listener that listens to the location change is
not invoked any more.
To generate theGPSinfo i'm using DDMS manually and a .GPX file.
Did any of you run into this issue? (I didn't find anything similar in

[android-beginners] android emulator window hangs when closing window
Hi, After installing android SDK 1.5 r1 and the ADT plugin for Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 32 bit 9.04 (Jaunty), I find that after running any android application (with no problems), that I am unable to terminate the emulator instance by closing the window. It just hangs and I have to call kill -9 to terminate the process. This happens irrespective of whatever AVD target I choose (1.1 or 1.5). The same happens even if I run the emulator from a terminal (by passing eclipse altogether) by calling 'emulator -avd myavd -netspeed full -netdelay none' . Adding the -verbose and -logcat and -show- kernel flags does not help resolve the issue. I have looked widely for a solution on the Web but this problem does not appear much. Any ideas on how to resolve this or is there another way to terminate the emulator instance?

They are built using the Android platform (e.g. the make files) and may or may not be using internal APIs which are not part of the SDK. Questions on building the platform should go to http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform.

I was under the impression that Android native apps were no different than any other developer apps, so shouldn't their sourcecode compile like any other?

[android-beginners] Re: XML : eclipse, layout problem
Ah yeah, it's a known issue: the TabHost (or more exactly TabWidget) generates an internal NullPointerException when used in the layout editor. It should render fine on the emulator or a device though. Hopefully this should be fixed in the next version of android, whenever that is.

When I create an application, I do in in java (isn't it?). Then, with the eclipse adt, this file is converted in a dex file and the DVM can receive it. In a nutshell: - Eclipse compiles your .java into .class - dx converts the various .class into bin/classes.dex. - aapt compiles your resources in a compact binary form. - the manifest, the compiled resources and the classes.dex get combined in your apk file, which is just a zile file. Unzip the apk to have a look at it. You can find many tutorials out there and youtube videos on android that explain that.

Thanks Raphael. I was running Classic. I installed the Java version and that fixed it. Maybe that needs to be made clearer in the documentation ? :) Out of curiosity, is it possible at all to get it to work in Classic ? Are there perhaps additional packages that can be installed to allow the Android stuff to work properly ? Cheers.

[android-beginners] Errors in VideoPlayer
Hi guys,
I have implemented the VideoPlayer example from the following link:
http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/android-videomusic-player-sample-from-local-disk-as-well-as-remote-urls/
I have two errors with the code:-
1. the return type is incompatible with MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener
(MediaPlayer,int,int)
public void onError(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer, int what, int
extra) {
Log.e(TAG, onError--- what: + what +
extra: + extra);
if (mediaPlayer != null) {
mediaPlayer.stop();
mediaPlayer.release();
}
}
2. the return type is incompatible with
SurfaceHolder.Callback.surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder)
public boolean surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceholder) {
Log.d(TAG, surfaceCreated called);
return true;
}
The return type is underlined with red.
Any idea how to resolve the errors to get the VideoPlayer playing.
Regards,
Android-Beginner

To the far left of the button, I want an image. Next to the image I want a label such as Button 1 Then to the far right of the button a counter of how many times the button has been clicked.
