I've had one Hero user rate one of my apps with a single star just because of this (even though he claimed the app did everything he expected). Sure, I could dismiss this user as ignorant, but don't we all hope that every single noob should own an android? As Hero is the most common android around here, I decided to alter the way my app looks. Ideally there should be a way to skin all apps the same, but alas it is not there yet.

[android-beginners] Re: android service repaint
Thanks Mark, this app only has one view, and many custom UI components which is about to draw on screen. A UI component has properties like x,y,width,height and so on. The events and actions that are produced by UI components are placed into event thread. This thread will response to execute each one sequentially, I call postInvalidate() after each execution to update screen, but sometimes I just found postInvalidate() did not paint immediately. I port this app from JavaME to Android, the serviceRepaint() is called after each repaint in JavaME, so it can force any pending repaint requests to be serviced immediately, is there any thing similar for Android or alternative way to do that? On Sep 28, 12:56 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: lei wrote: I just found postInvalidate() does not paint the view immediately, is there a method like serviceRepaint() in J2ME ? Nothing paints anything immediately in Android. All GUI events (e.g., setting the text on a TextView) are put on a message queue. Those events are only then processed when you return from whatever callback you are in and let the UI thread go back to processing those events on the queue.

[android-beginners] Open Source Android Apps
Hello It seems to me that along with many people on this list we are often struggling to do the same things, maybe with just a different twist here and there. In my case taking pictures, recording comments and uploading these to a web site. I have found several examples of each of these and they work more or less well. Is there a repository where people could work together on say an Activity to use the camera, or to upload a file to a website. If we have several people working on these issues in a cooperative fashion we will make a lot better apps, maybe you will find my mistakes rather than a user. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: real-time audio transfer over Wi-Fi
Based on your description there are no problems writing such an application. My understanding is that your connection is only half-duplex, means you send the traffic only in one direction. When I mentioned that with mixing Voip and data traffic in a Wifi network the quality of your connection could decrease, I wanted to say that in your WLAN there might be also other systems communicating over Wifi. Android SDK does not support specifically audio streaming which is recorded over the mic (there are no APIs for Voip :-( ). You have to think about the following + signaling + RTP streaming For the signaling you can use your own proprietary protocol or an existing protocol like SIP or XMPP (have a look at SipDroid which uses MjSIP) Also SipDroid implements some RTP socket communication which you can use in your application. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

As described in the docs (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/provider-element.html) the android:name attribute is mandatory. My guess is that the apk is built from broken code, and the developer has not noticed yet.

[android-beginners] Get next Alarm
Hi there, Both as an exercise and because I've not yet found a simple app that does this already, I'm trying to develop a widget that displays the next alarm set by the standard Alarm Clock application. I've found that you can get an already formatted String of this time using: Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED); but I have a few problems with this: 1. The String it returns is already formatted, but in a way I don't want. So, I'd have to do some rather nasty String splits and manipulations to reformat it how I want. Ideally I'd like to get this time in millis/seconds since epoch, or as a Date object. 2. I've read that this value is easily overwritten by any app for any purpose - if this is the case, it's not exactly reliable. 3. It's stopped working for me! (It's now returning a blank (not null) String, despite there being alarms set). I guess if nothing better is available to get this information, this will become a debugging assistance discussion :-). Is there a better, more reliable way to get the date/time of the next Alarm set?

[android-beginners] Pass data between activitys
Hi, in my app, i got a login screen and a screen, where the user information should be displayed. So, when the button is pressed, a login request will be made and in case of sucess, a new activity should be displayed. For later requests, i need the entered login data from the login screen in my other activitys to process further requests. So the question is, how to pass data from activity to activity. In the Blackberry app, which is running already, you could pass objects to the constructor of the new Screen. So the best for me would be, to find a possibility to pass a bean object from screen to screen. Sadly, i found nothing like that in the documentation. I would be grateful for any help.

[android-beginners] Android as a Universal Remote for CE/HA? (ab)
Hi All,
I was wondering if there's any good Universal Remote software for CE or
HA being developed in the Android ecosystem?
Does anyone know of anything under way or a related Linux project that
could be re-adapted for Android?
I have something roughly like this visualised... (see attached txt file)
I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...
But progress is slow so I may have to find a better supported device soon.
Any thoughts/ideas/advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jed

[android-beginners] Changing the Build Target
I have 2 versions of a Hello,World project. Both were newly built. One I built with Android 1.5-API Level 3 and one with Android1.6-API Level 4. If I run them as initially setup then they both run fine. I then changed the build target of the 1.6-API Level 4 down to 1.5-API Level 3 via right clicking on the project, selecting Properties and then Andoird and selecting a different build target. The Android 1.6 icon is changed to an Android 1.5 icon in the Package Explorer but when I rebuild and rerun I get the following error: [2009-09-29 19:05:57 - MyFirstAndroidApp]ERROR: Application requires API version 4.

It depends on what you mean by background. If you want the Activity to disappear and not to anything until next time, save your state and call finish().

Hi there,
I have been tinkering with the ExpandableListView and would like to
tweak its behaviour a little bit. Right now you can navigate through
the expandable list and when you select an entry (group) it will
expand and display its children. However, I would like to expand the
group automatically as soon as the group receives the focus (almost
like a fisheye list).
I managed to overwrite onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) to close
all other entries before expanding the selected group. But I cannot
find any way to install any focus listeners which gets notified when a
group receives focus... Does anyone know how to do this?

[android-beginners] Flashing recovery 1.6...
Wanted to note that I screwed up in the process and it still worked... I used a miniSD to USB adapter to put the radio file on my miniSD, then booted up with home+power. Alas, instead of doing ALT+L I goofed up and ALT+S but it still worked. Rebooted (HOME+BACK) fine, and very quickly and then I powered off. Used the USB adapter again, and put the Recovery on the miniSD (again, renamed as Update), and again HOME+POWER rebooted. This time I ALT+L, then ALT+S and installed, with no problem. When I HOME+BACK rebooted, it took awhile to write but came back okay. So... it doesn't seem like you need to enter the ALT+L command, just insert the miniSD with the renamed radio image, power up, holding HOME, then just go straight to pushing ALT+S To recap, here's what worked for me: MY ADP1 was upgraded to 1.5, but I never put the new Radio image on from a while back. I had the first 1.5 radio. 1. Power off phone 2. Download the latest Radio image to your PC 3. Download the latest Recovery image to your PC 4.

[android-beginners] Re: Poor performance on my file loader (code optimization help!)
Thanks to everyone for the help on this. As I mentioned, I'm rather
new to Java, so things like StringTokenizer being legacy are news.
Believe it or not the file format uses actual frames instead of
keyframes (hence no timestamp or other indication of time or frames
between each being parsed out), but this is all still up in the air.
Obviously it's a very amateur way to do it right now. I'll probably
shift back to quaternions and worry about interpolating later (it
might be a application size vs. performance vs. memory usage thing in
the end. I'm not sure). Thanks for the links.
The LineNumberReader was actually hijacked from some open source code
intended for a very similar purpose. I didn't know what to use for
this scenario and so finding someone else using LNR meant I jumped on
it as the ideal solution. Safe to say I'll be trying R.E.s and/or
buffered reader soon enough. Are mark and reset really that taxing?
More so than basically buffering the several lines that might need to
be re-parsed?
Thanks again. Very helpful.

Is there a reason to why you use a LineNumberReader? I would instead

I don't know anything about the dataformat in the file, but there
probably is a much faster way to parse it than using all those
StringTokenizers (or regexp even if that might be faster). I would
also try to parse the file without mark and reset.
On 20 Sep, 20:28, Glen Kimsey gkim...@gmail.com wrote:
Hello!
I'm fairly new to both Android and Java (pretty experienced in C/C++),
and (stupidly, perhaps) took on a big project. In it, I need to load
information about 3D models and their respective animations from a
text file (proprietary file format based on PSK/PSA).
The loading process on a sample (1000+ line) file is abysmally slow
(more than 4 minutes). The good news is that there are lots and lots
of ways I can improve it. What I'm hoping to find out here is if
there's anything in *particular* in my code that is very inefficient
that I can change. Don't worry about offending me, I know this is
amateur code here.
Some possible causes for the slowness:
- Extensive use of parseFloat()
- Creating new StringTokenizer for every line
- Inefficiencies in for() loops (not caching as necessary?)
- Repeated use of the acos() and sqrt() functions
I'd like to find out from you gentlemen (ladies) what you think is the
major thing eating up my time here. If there's some tool I can use to
find out what lines of code are taking up the most time that'd be
ideal. I'm open to any possible solutions. The file format can
change (and probably will). I could even do something as drastic as
performing this load in a separate app (before distribution) and
somehow exporting the resulting object (KdfAnimation) that could more
easily be picked back up (this would work in C, but I'm doubtful Java
would allow such low-level memory copying).
One final note is that the action loading section of this code
occupies about 3/4 of the files being loaded (so this section may be
more important to optimize).
Loader Code
public class KdfLoader {
public static KdfAnimation load(String file) throws IOException {
KdfAnimation anim = new KdfAnimation();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
String line = [start];
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new
InputStreamReader
(fis));
int boneNum = 0;
try {
for (line = lnr.readLine(); line != null; line =
lnr.readLine()) {
if (line.length() 0) {
if (line.startsWith(numbones)) {
// Ignore it for now
}
else if (line.startsWith(bone)) {
// Bone define
StringTokenizer tok = new
StringTokenizer(line);
KdfBone bone = new KdfBone();
// Toss out bone
tok.nextToken();
// Set name
bone.boneName = tok.nextToken();
if (boneNum == 0) {
// Root bone. Ignore
children and parent id in file
bone.parentId = 0;
bone.parent = null;
// ignore numchildren x
// ignore parentid x
[android-beginners] Re: Saving calculator result problem
I couldn't get that one to work so I'm trying something else.
Here's where the button is pressed:
btnMP.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
memNum = memNum +
Double.parseDouble(txtCalc.getText().toString());
operator = 0; }
});
Here's a thingie I hammered together from parts:
// Save MEMORY
public void WriteMemory(OnClickListener onClickListener, double
memNum){
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File destinationdir = new File(sdcard,/download/calculator);
destinationdir.mkdir();
File destinationfile = new File(destinationdir,memory.dat);
FileOutputStream fOut = null;
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
try{
destinationfile.createNewFile();
fOut = new FileOutputStream(destinationfile);
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
osw.write((int) memNum);
osw.flush();
Toast.makeText((Context) onClickListener, Memory
saved,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
//Toast.makeText((Context) onClickListener, Memory not
saved,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
finally {
try {
osw.close();
fOut.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This is called by inserting WriteMemory(this,memNum); in the button
routine thusly:
btnMP.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
memNum = memNum +
Double.parseDouble(txtCalc.getText().toString());
operator = 0; }
WriteMemory(this,memNum);
});
The file is created but nothing is written in it. What's missing?
