  HI

  I'm a beginner on Android develop.
  When I write my first hello world, start to run the app, eclipse report
  Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger
  and the emulator shows an error window, Waiting For Debugger, Waiting
  for the debugger to attach.

  How to resolve it?

  Thank you very much.

[android-beginners] Is your Android app on Archos Market ?

2009-10-20 Thread arnouf


If you  have developed or if you are developing applications, and they
are on the Android Market - Great! - But these apps are only
available for devices that have contracts with Google.

Archos, a major PMP manufacturer, launched its first device on 25th of
September: the Archos 5 IT. Archos has a real community of fans who
are waiting for applications for their devices. This device is the
first of a long product line (the first Archos phone should be
available soon too!).

It's a new opportunity for your applications to find new fans! 

You can post your apps, for free, on the Archos Market called Appslib
(http://www.appslib.com).

Today, only free applications are available for distribution on
AppsLib, but Archos promises the possibility to distribute your paid
apps soon !

Don't wait : more applications, more users, more fans...and more
revenue (soon)!

[android-beginners] bounce not working for my layout

2009-10-20 Thread jax


From the API demo i tried the bounce animation

final View target = findViewById(R.id.target);
final View targetParent = (View) target.getParent();

Animation a = new TranslateAnimation(0.0f,
targetParent.getWidth() - target.getWidth() -
targetParent.getPaddingLeft() -
targetParent.getPaddingRight(), 0.0f, 0.0f);
a.setDuration(1000);
a.setStartOffset(300);
a.setRepeatMode(Animation.RESTART);
a.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);

The problem is that this does not work with my layout.  I finally got
working but had to hard code a value for:

targetParent.getWidth() - target.getWidth() -
targetParent.getPaddingLeft() - targetParent.getPaddingRight()

I don't like hard coding this in but it is the only way I could get it
to work.  My View is inside a LinearLayout and I put a padding of
10dip.

Any ideas?

 Hello,

 I need to take a photo on command (from my app) such that it is stored as
 'normal' photo in the Gallery, just like a photo taken with the Camera
 application. Preferably, the photo should be geotagged, but not necessarily.

 The application is unattended (i.e. no user interaction when photo is
 taken), so no preview is needed. Just shoot, and save.

 Can someone kindly tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance.

 Sorry

 I typed emulator wrong. let's type this:

Putting android Address family not supported by protocol into Google
turned up a few entries suggesting the problem may be with the
contents of your hosts file.

Can you list the contents of your hosts file. You will find it in the
folder:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc


Lines that start with a # are comments.  My file only has the line:

127.0.0.1   localhost

some comments on the appslib market,

1. no way to unpublish an app?
2. no way to unpublish an app release?
3. no way to edit an app release (comments, binary, or anything else)
4. app description doesn't maintain newlines

so yes, make sure you really want your app there, forever, before you
publish it.

in general, i wish "the" android market would just facilitate this
sort of thing ... i know they now allow tagging by cell provider,
tagging by device seems a small stretch. this proliferation of markets
could really dilute android. developers now have to manage their apps

[android-beginners] Using Preferences to Select a value in a spinner

2009-10-20 Thread jax


I have an List Id from a database stored in my Shared preferences.
I have made a spinner with a SimpleCursorAdaptor that selects all my
Lists from the database and allows you to select them from the
spinner.

My problem is that I can't figure out how to set the selected item to
be my preferred list from my preferences.  All the methods I can see
seem to use position instead of the _id value from the DB.

Any ideas?

So you want to capture touch and click events that are not meant for
your application ? I don't believe that is possible using the SDK.

 Hello All,

 I have developed a dialog box and put two controls there. One is Volume icon

 corners of dialog. I want both should be in top corners of Dialog box. Please 
 see the attached image for reference.
 The problem now is, there is big space for Dialog box title. You can see the 
 attached picture, which will show how the volume icon couldn't be able to go 
 to top corner, instead struck at the big space(right side space) provided for 
 dialogbox title, so it's getting hidden a bit.
 I want to remove this title space for dialog, so that i think i'll be able to 
 put my two controls on top corners.
 I tried already tried this - requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);  
 but it is throwing error for dialogbox.

 Suggestions please?

[android-beginners] Using external font in android application

2009-10-20 Thread kk_Kiran


Hi friends,

I need to use a different font ( other than those provided with sdk
1.6) in my android application.
As of my findings I can apply the font to TextView through java using
following code:

Typeface myFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), fonts/
Condensed.ttf);
myTextView.setTypeface(myFont);

where I have kept my font in assets/fonts directory. This works fine.
But what I want to do is specify the font through xml attribute.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1087

As per above link it seems that it is not possible as of now. Can
somebody throw some light on the same. Does current API level supports
any way to specify font through xml attribute? If not when can we
expect the same?

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

  calibre cannot convert the documents found within the SDK, I'm

[android-beginners] Detecting successful image load for ImageView

2009-10-20 Thread kevin.hooke


Is there a way to detect when an ImageView has successfully loaded an
image? I'm having an issue debugging an app that has a 3 by 3 grid of
images that I'm loading from Flickr, and as far as I can tell I
successfully load the bytes of the images from Flickr into Bitmap
instances, but when I set the bitmap into the ImageView something is
going astray.

I'm randomly getting some of the images not display (one or two out of
nine), and I'm not sure if it's a timing issue from my progress thread
which is downloading the images, updating the progress bar and setting
the bitmaps into the ImageViews (the Handler for the ProgressDIalog is
updating the ImageViews).

Any ideas on how I can confirm that the ImageViews have their image
content set, and any other ideas for things I should look at, like
manually calling a draw() or something similar to prompt them when to
redraw?

Thanks,
Kevin Hooke

- Download the Android SDK for Macintosh at: http://developer.android.com/sdk/
- Extract it
- Download Fastboot for OSX (If not included with SDK)
- Extract fastboot and place it in your /tools folder.
- Open up a terminal window
- type: pico .bash_profile (this will create a .bash_profile)
- type the following in the new screen: export PATH=$
{PATH}:sdkfolder/tools
- Hit CNTRL + X
- Hit Y (for yes to save)
- It will return you to the terminal screen… type: exit
- Restart terminal.

Now when i go into terminal i type adb and it says

I tried it with the iPhone first, but it wasnt precise enough. It
seems that the iPhone GPS API updates the position only every 10
seconds.
And sometimes the position was off by +25 meters.

I need it to be down to something like 5 or 10 meters. And to be
updates as often as possible.

Is this possible with the Android?

Kind regards, Jan
(Germany)

[android-beginners] Latest 1.6 SDK -- 'Hello World' example -- random errors/results

2009-10-20 Thread PeteM


Hello,

Somewhat of a newbie here. Downloaded  installed latest 1.6 SDK, with
Eclipse, on XP Home, Dell netbook (1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM) -- a brand new,
clean install.  All went well until I tried creating  running the
'Hello World' test app. I followed the instructions step-by-step, but
the app never quite manages to run.  The emulator takes forever to
initialize but does eventually boot up all the way to the home screen,
however, there's no sign of the app!  The strange thing is that I see
different errors/results in the Console each time I run it.  Here are
the last two attempts:

(...)
Starting activity com.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid on device
Activity Manager: - exec, '/system/bin/sh' failed: Bad address (14) -

or...

(...)
Starting activity com.example.helloandroid.HelloAndroid on device
Launch error: device (emulator-5554) request rejected: device not
found

Any ideas?  Thanks!!!

-Pete

[android-beginners] Error early in development

2009-10-20 Thread hawksd20


When I try to set up the AVD I get the error:

Error generating final archive: Unable to get the home directory. Make
sure the user.home property is set up.

Any clues on what I can do to fix this? I get the same error when I
try running the Hello World program. (I'm using eclipse galileo for
development)

[android-beginners] Does anyone have working Hello, MapView code to share? I'm beginning to wonder if it's accurate

2009-10-20 Thread Robert Speer


Admittedly I'm not a Java developer, but I do ok following
instructions.  I'm starting to think the tutorial is not valid for the
1.5  1.6 SDK.

Does anyone have working source code to share?

this is the tutorial I'm referring to:

[android-beginners] images from images.google.com

2009-10-20 Thread pti4ik


Hi everybody!
I need to search web for images by keyword or phrase with
images.google.com and then to show some of the found images in my app.
So does that web site have any API for this? Or what are the ways for
solving this problem?
Thanks!

[android-beginners] Activity launch timeout even with wakelock

2009-10-20 Thread Kiran


Hi,
I have the following code in Oncreate of my activity:


static String linkUrl = http://www.google.com/;;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService
(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock
(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, My Tag);
wl.acquire();

try {
URL connectURL = new URL(linkUrl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
connectURL.openConnection();
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream (conn.getInputStream
());
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
int len = dis.read(data, 0, 1024);
dataText = new String(data, 0, len);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e(TAG, Exception);
return;
}

TextView bodyText = (EditText) findViewById
(R.id.android_fetchtext);
bodyText.setText(dataText);
setContentView(R.layout.notes_fetch);
wl.release();
}


I declared the following permissions in manifest:

uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET /
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.WAKE_LOCK/

Here is my xml layout file:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[android-beginners] Re: DDMS doesn't show my G1

2009-10-20 Thread Matt

Hi Mark,

I seem to be having the same problem. I thought I could remedy it by
getting the G1 drivers in there, and I finally figured out how to do
it. In the device manager, when the G1 is plugged in, it now shows
Android Phone Android Composite ADB Interface.

I've also installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) as per the
instructions of this site which was recommended to me:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/21/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-windows/.

This has no effect. I've also installed Eclipse as per the developer
instructions, and added the Android plugin. Still nothing in ddms.

No matter what I do, connect, or install in any order, the ddms.bat
will not see my G1. I'm just looking to get a few screen shots for an
article. Is there any hope here?

Thanks for any insight.

Matt

Hi friends,

I want to know is it possible to change theme of an android

[android-beginners] Re: Is Android GPS more precise than the iPhone GPS?


It is not possible with any GPS system because a raw GPS position at
any instant can be off by less than 1 meter to over 100km due to
dignal noise, reflections interferance etc.

My GPS test app is getting GPS position updates approximatly every
second.  What you need to do with these updates is some form of
windowed averaging (average of last n-fixes throwing away any fix
which is too far away) to give you a more accurate position.  How many
fixes and how big your window should be is up to your application.

[android-beginners] how to i check if an EditText is empty

2009-10-20 Thread JasonMP


using if(someEditText.getText().toString == null)  doesnt work

im passing information from this editText into a database.  Ive
already limited it to 2 characters and numbers only in the xml file,
but i need to run a check to fill its defaults to 0 if nothing is
entered.  I could set its default to 0, but then my hint text would
show up.  Could someone give me a hand with this?
