[android-beginners] SMS Receiver
So I was playing around with some sample code I found on the net for
receiving SMS in your app when I noticed that the sample was using the
deprecated android.telephony.gsm.SmsMessage. I figured it'd be a
simple change to make it use android.telephony.SmsMessage instead so I
changed the import and everything compiled just fine.
However, when I ran the app, it crashed when an SMS was received.
After playing around with it for quite a while I can not seem to
figure out why it doesn't work with the changed import.
Here's the code in question (not my code, it was in a sample online,
but I don't have the URL):
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
Object messages[] = (Object[]) bundle.get(pdus);
SmsMessage smsMessage[] = new SmsMessage[messages.length];
for (int n = 0; n messages.length; n++) {
smsMessage[n] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[]) messages
[n]);
}
// show first message
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context,
Received SMS: + smsMessage[0].getDisplayOriginatingAddress
(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
One bit I did notice was that the non-deprecated SmsMessage class does
not have a public constructor, which seemed to give the creation of
the SmsMessage array some problems. However, even after removing
everything except the SmsMessage.createFromPdu line the app was still
crashing.
Does anyone have any insight into what's different between the two
SmsMessage classes that is causing this?
Thanks!

[android-beginners] Re: Development Phone
Thanks Mark, First google seems to ran out of stock for dev phone, and if I recall the site instruction does not quite explain - rooting or whatever needed, third for some of us are already buried down to bargain basement so ebay or other sites seems to be logical alternatives :) Is there any pointer for rooting technique? What does it mean? --- I know how to get going with openmoko, but for unlocked commercial phone I would love to hack a bit, so that I can build the kernel and infrastructure and flush it, so any link to any rooting technique. For the emulator, then there must be a way to tell the canvas sizes ( i.e 360x480 or something )??? -pro On Sep 17, 3:00 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: pro wrote: I'm also very new to Android.

[android-beginners] Re: Camera Button Broadcast Receiver Problem...
Hi Tikoze, You can very easily implement this feature. Just have a simple receiver to receive the same intent as the camera that is: android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON In that receiver class start your required activity as required. And, in the corresponding AndroidManifest.xml of your application declare the receiver as below: receiver android:name=*.TestReceiver* intent-filter android:priority=*1* action android:name=*android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON */ /intent-filter /receiver The priority field tells Android to first choose the activity with the higher priority. I have used a very large value. Maybe even a smaller value will work. Also, in your receiver in the first line of your onReceive itself add the following line: abortBroadcast(); This will set a flag to abort the broadcast so nobody else will receive it after you. So, by setting the priority you are telling Android to choose your receiver first and by abortBroadcast you are cancelling the broadcast for Camera so it wont open at all. Hope this helps.

[android-beginners] Is there a Calendar View that I can use?
I'm not very good with English, I'll try to explain anyway. Sorry in advance. I wanted to create an Application that display calendar. Basically, I'll store the date of the appointment in the DB, no problem. The display is on the other hand, I have no idea if there's a View or something that I can call to handle the display. I want to display the application in Monthly format(to begin with) with Day(Mon, Tue, Wed, ...) on top, just like the default Calendar application on the phone. Then clicking on any date would bring up details or event on that particular date. There I can add or remove the event on that date. To sum up my question, I would like to know. 1. If there's such a thing that would aid me in the development? If there is not then 2. What should I look at to help getting me start the development? 3. Is there a view that's good for the table look and feel in the calendar? Is TableLayout suitable for what I'm doing? 4. Is there a nice tutorial about Calendar and such? P.S. Is this kind of question belong in this Beginners group or the Developers group?

[android-beginners] sendBroadcast compile error
Im really new to android development (and java in general), and I seem
to have run into a design issue.
Background:
Im working on an application that automatically turns the speaker
phone on when you are on a call and lay the phone down on a flat
surface.
Since this is my first real android app, I am building it as I
learn. Right now it isn't even running as a service.
I have broken the app down so far, into an activity, a phone state
listener, and a sensor listener. From the phone state listener, I am
trying to send the sensor listener a notification that the phone is
active (thus if the sensor listener detects it is lying flat then it
should turn on the speaker phone).
But I get an error when I try to compile my code
Code Snippet:
package org.pythonistas.AutoConference;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;
public class PhoneListener extends PhoneStateListener {
protected static final String CALL_STATE_CHANGE =
org.pythonistas.AutoConference.intent.action.CALL_STATE_CHANGE;
protected static final String CALL_STATE_EXTRA = callState;
private Intent intent = new Intent(CALL_STATE_CHANGE);
private Leveler myLevel = null;
private CallReceiver myReceiver = null;
public PhoneListener(){
myLevel = new Leveler();
myReceiver = new CallReceiver(myLevel);
}
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber)
{
super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
switch(state)
{
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
intent.putExtra(CALL_STATE_EXTRA,false);
sendBroadcast(intent);
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
intent.putExtra(CALL_STATE_EXTRA,true);
sendBroadcast(intent);
break;
}
}
}
Compile Error:

[android-beginners] Re: About ERROR: unknown virtual device name: 'myavd'
2009/9/16 Nicolas Gramlich stoeps...@gmx.de Hi, just tried this again with the ADT 0.9.3 (downloaded today) and Android 1.6 r1 (also from today) and in the Virtual Devices-Window I can see my newly created AVD with a green checker to the left: A valid Android Virtual Device. ANDROID_SDK_HOME is properly set to C:\Users\nico; for user and system-environment variables. I can also see the emulator-image being properly created in C:\Users \nico\.android\avd\Emu_1_6.avd\userdata.img. I'm using Windows7 RC 64Bit with a 64 Bit JDK and Eclipse is running (or has to run) with its own 32 Bit JRE. Any ideas?

Only the Desktop and My Documents special folders are on S:. Everything else (including App Data) is on C:. [The documents are shared between operating systems on different partitions] Android (or Eclipse?) has been the only thing to use S:. When the user location is not the default one, we have seen some cases where windows reports the location of the user folder differently depending on which API you use (the command line tool and Eclipse use a Java API, while the emulator use a windows C++ API). That would explain why the command line tools and Eclipse could see my_avd just fine, but the emulator could not find it. But, shouldn't Android be set up to use HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH? Standard environment variables. I think there are difference on XP/Vista which makes using those hard to use (back in the previous SDK we were using LOCALAPPDATA but we ended up having the same problem). What we use on java is the user.home property setup by the VM. Looks like the Java VM thinks your home is in S:\... I look again into these 2 env variables and see if they could be used. Also, a single line in the installation instructions could have prevented this confusion. When Android can see the AVD from the command line and the Eclipse gui, but not from the emulator, and no explanation is given (especially on the first test project), it's ... disheartening. I agree. We should at least have the emulator output a message saying where it's looking for the AVD and how to fix the problem if it's not where the AVDs are created. In any event, with the ANDROID_SDK_HOME variable set to the S: home (which is not the real home directory, that is on C:), the emulator now works. Well we don't want to go and set a permanent env on your machine. I guess we could but relying on existing standard env variables should be better. I mean, what happens if the user removes it or change the location of his/her home folder but doesn't update this? In any case we do need to find a solution.

Hi furby, I have had this problem too. I found it happens when your AVD isn't selected when you click on Run As.. to run an application. Try this: Right click on your project, select Run As... Run Configurations... click on the Target tab and under Select preferred Android Virtual Device for deployment AVD Name make sure that one of your emulators is selected.

Im really new to android development (and java in general), and I seem
to have run into a design issue.
Background:
Im working on an application that automatically turns the speaker
phone on when you are on a call and lay the phone down on a flat
surface.
Since this is my first real android app, I am building it as I
learn. Right now it isn't even running as a service.
I have broken the app down so far, into an activity, a phone state
listener, and a sensor listener. From the phone state listener, I am
trying to send the sensor listener a notification that the phone is
active (thus if the sensor listener detects it is lying flat then it
should turn on the speaker phone).
But I get an error when I try to compile my code
Code Snippet:
package org.pythonistas.AutoConference;
import android.telephony.PhoneStateListener;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;
public class PhoneListener extends PhoneStateListener {
protected static final String CALL_STATE_CHANGE =
org.pythonistas.AutoConference.intent.action.CALL_STATE_CHANGE;
protected static final String CALL_STATE_EXTRA = callState;
private Intent intent = new Intent(CALL_STATE_CHANGE);
private Leveler myLevel = null;
private CallReceiver myReceiver = null;
public PhoneListener(){
myLevel = new Leveler();
myReceiver = new CallReceiver(myLevel);
}
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber)
{
super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
switch(state)
{
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
intent.putExtra(CALL_STATE_EXTRA,false);
sendBroadcast(intent);
break;
case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
intent.putExtra(CALL_STATE_EXTRA,true);

[android-beginners] Re: Development Phone
I'll be the first to admit that I am a bit of a novice in the android arena. What I would like to bring to your attention is that there may well be very good reasons as to why some pre-installed apps can be hard to change. I'm trying to import some devices into Australia, many of our regulations are based on the US and Europe. If you change some of the key software on a phone you may very well make it illegal to use that phone. One key example would be the requirement we have to be able to dial emergency numbers even when the screen is locked. Someones life may depend on this functionality being intact. I have no idea what the legal ramifications would be of making software available that did not maintain this ability. However selling, giving or even loaning phones with emergency dialing no longer enabled would certainly be an offense. ( Not saying you shouldn't replace these apps - just be careful) ...brucko On Aug 29, 3:53 am, Chris Stratton cs07...@gmail.com wrote: On Aug 24, 9:09 am, Ran dahan...@gmail.com wrote: What is the benefit of working with ADP1 over the other Android phones ? Just to expand on what others have said: Cost seems comparable betwen a dev phone and a retail phone at full retail or plan price + termination fee, so it's really more a of a technical question. Reasons for a dev phone -sim unlocked (some such as tmobile may? do that if you pay full retail or eventually on a plan) -can change linux and system libraries -can change pre-installed applications -tmobile myfaves application sends periodic sms which costs money on any other network Reasons for _not_ getting a dev phone -only one older dev phone model generally available at present -dev phones can't buy paid applications from the market (including your own) -if you sell apps, you need to restrict yourself to the capabilities of your users phones (and test on such a device!) -various preinstalled proprietary applications missing (+/- depending on your interest) The not being able to change preinstalled applications is in my mind the least anticipated, and most annoying, problem. There are many areas where very small decisions of questionable wisdom in default applications really hamper the user experience (even in the using it just to make calls sense), but these can't be very readily changed on a retail phone, particularly the parts most closely involved in the telephone functionality. As of this moment, I believe most of the retail phones are probably still shipping with an easily rooted linux kernel, but that probably will get closed up (already fixed in google's tree) and they will be limited until another hole is found. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

I am trying to asynchronously update the ArrayAdapter, but if there is text typed into the AutoCompleteTextView the ArrayAdapter will not update until the text in the AutoCompleteTextView changes. for example; actv = AutoCompleteTextView aa = ArrayAdapter 1) start the application 2) getCount on aa = 0 3) add on aa 4) getCount on aa = 1 5) type r into actv 6) getCount on aa = 1 7) add on aa 8) getCount on aa = 1 9) add on aa 10) getCount on aa = 1 11) type e into actv 12) getCount on aa = 3 How can I force an update of the data? I am doing an async update because I am getting the values to auto complete from a REST call. I even tested this manually just by adding two buttons to the Activity along with the ACTV (one to show me the count and one to add an item). I tried notifyDataSetChanged on the ArrayAdapter, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

[android-beginners] Best Game Implementation?
I have a game concept for my first true android game, but I am not sure how to implement it. It is a side scrolling game, so almost every element is moving each frame. Would it be best, from a resources standpoint, to have one canvas for the entire screen redrawing every frame or for each element to have its own canvas layered on top of each other and manipulated individually? There seems to be trade offs either way. I just don’t know what is best or most commonly accepted method for games.

[android-beginners] Package Problems following Notepad Tutorial in Eclipse for Android 1.5_r3: android.app not Included
I am trying to go through the Notepad Tutorial for Android 1.5_r3, but I am getting stuck around Step 7 with the following error messages that just won't go away: The errors I get are: 1) ListActivity cannot be resolved to a type and 2) 'The declared package does not match the expected package com.android.demo.notepad1. Before writing this post, I tried Notepad1 eclipse package in the search for this group, I didn't get anything. I also tried Notepad tutorial eclipse package with nominally better results, but I still see no answer for my problem. Now I do also have to point out that when I followed the instructions to press Ctl-Shift-O after typing ListActivity, I was surprised at the packages that got included: they were two AWT packages only, nothing from Android. Could this be the hint to what the problem is? I was expecting to get the package that includes ListActivity, namely, android.app, but no. Nor have I seen any other instructions in the Tutorial (by this point, Step 7) that would include it. BTW: only now I noticed: I am also getting an error in my Linux Terminal window sometime after launching Eclipse: it reads, Error Loading Preferences.

[android-beginners] Analog clock
Hello everyone, I'm very new to android development and would really appreciate any help. I am trying to implement a custom analog clock widget. The default android analog clock has only hour and minute hands. I'm trying to add a seconds hand and the day/date into the dial. I do not think there is a way to achieve this using the existing analog clock class. Does anyone have any idea how I could do this? Can I write my own analog clock class (extends View)? Also, does any one know if there is a way to center a button relative to another button in relative layout? I want one button at the bottom (center aligned) of the other. The size of the button is dynamic, so I cannot use any padding. Thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Arayadapter only shows text when highlighted
I have an arrayadapter which stores the names of the 12 months of the
year:
final String[] Months = new String[]
{January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,
September,October,November,December};
ArrayAdapterString monthArray = new ArrayAdapterString(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Months);
I also have a textview where if I enter some text, the matching text
in the arrayadapter appears below the textbox.
final AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)
findViewById(R.id.testAutoComplete);
textView.setAdapter(monthArray);
For example, if I start typing the characters of January, I should see
the word January appear below the textbox (like how google suggest
works). So my program seems to be working, but when I start typing Jan
for example, a box appears below with the word January in it, but I
can only see the text when it is highlighted. So for some reason, the
text is the same colour as the background box(white in this case).
Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks!

[android-beginners] Alarm manager on boot only runs once?
I'm trying to set up a service that gets started when the device
boots. I see that service being started once in the logs but it never
seems to run again. So the fact that I see it in the right after boot
up means that I am properly intercepting the boot up notification and
firing off the service and that everything is registered correctly in
the the manifest (DeviceBootReceiver and service.)
What I want to have happen is the service to be fired up, regardless
of whether the owning application is running periodically, say every 6
hours. I'm able to fire up the services and run them from main.java
but obviously this only works if the user has the application in
memory. Eventually the service will be garbage collected. So I think
I'm doing something wrong here, but after a day of playing around
(even looking at android:process) can't seem to get it to work.
Any leads will earn a beer.
Thanks! and here's some code!

[android-beginners] Bluetooth and GPS switching from a widget
Thanks a lot Yusuf,
I would like to ask another question.
I am trying to switch ON/OFF the GPS and Bluetooth from a widget.
From http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/ab52d1a3a58b8179/e5acd3ffbeb9b51e?show_docid=e5acd3ffbeb9b51e
and other posts, I understand that from SDK 1.5, only launching by an
activity (startActivity(new
Intent(android.settings.LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));) we can have
access to the GPS ON/OFF toggle functionality.
For bluetooth, I could not find any relevant information, since it
looks like there is not much support for Bluetooth.
I was checking HTC hero (running 1.5 SDK), and it had widgets that
allow such operations. My question is if they are using their internal
APIs or there is some other way of switching GPS and Bluetooth
programmatically from a widget, in the standard SDK (I am using
Android 1.6 SDK).
Regards.

Hello all,
I would like to create an application that allows the user to quickly
toggle wireless connections ON/OFF. I found the API for wi-fi
(android.net.wifi.WifiManager) but I am not able to find any API for
Bluetooth and airplane modes.
Do you have any idea where I can find such APIs or how can I have
access to the switching functionality?
Regards

[android-beginners] Re: sendBroadcast compile error
So I am slowly learning more about the life cycles, and I figured out
what I was missing. I ended up passing the context to the
PhoneListener class I made in construction:
public class PhoneBroadcaster extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Intent phoneIntent = new Intent(context,
PhoneListener.class);
phoneIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startService(phoneIntent);
TelephonyManager tManager = (TelephonyManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
PhoneListener pListener = new PhoneListener(context);
tManager.listen(pListener,
PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
}
}

I can't seem to find a way instantiate a copy of my activities

I also don't really see a way to pass the context to the
PhoneListener, since it is created by startService:
package org.pythonistas.AutoConference;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

TelephonyManager tManager = (TelephonyManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

tManager.listen(pListener,

Im really new to android development (and java in general), and I seem
to have run into a design issue.
Background:
Im working on an application that automatically turns the speaker
phone on when you are on a call and lay the phone down on a flat
surface.
Since this is my first real android app, I am building it as I
learn. Right now it isn't even running as a service.
I have broken the app down so far, into an activity, a phone state
listener, and a sensor listener. From the phone state listener, I am
trying to send the sensor listener a notification that the phone is
active (thus if the sensor listener detects it is lying flat then it
should turn on the speaker phone).
But I get an error when I try to compile my code

package org.pythonistas.AutoConference;

import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;
public class PhoneListener extends PhoneStateListener {

Try a code similar to this, EditText priority = (EditText)myAlertDialog.findViewById(R.id.priority_edit); int x = Integer.parseInt(priority.getText().toString()); This works fine for me.. 2009/9/16 rachana bedekar rachanabede...@gmail.com Hi, I need to perform mathematical operation on the EditText's text.

[android-beginners] Re: Free and Paid apps with same code-base???
Not yet. You can get around by extracting as much application logic as possible in a java lib, but you still need basically two projects for the android parts resources. If you're using Linux or a source control system like SVN you can share or symlink your res dir however. It's far from ideal though.
