[android-beginners] Having problems trying to find the right way to parse text files.
Hello all, I'm trying to get a usable program for the Android to allow it to sync with Emacs Org-Mode. I'm pretty good with Python, but Java is a new beast to me. Currently, I've got it so that it can contact the server and sync the files. However, now that I've got the files downloaded, I'm trying to get it parsed and split into a ListView so that it can be viewed and edited. (An example of what I'm trying to do can be found here: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/[1] ). The files each look like this: * Headline 1 Some Body Text ** (Headline 2) First Child of Headline 1 *** (Headline 3) First Child of Headline 2 ** (Headline 2) Second Child of Headline 1 * Headline 2 I'm stuck figuring out the best way to store the data object-wise to easily go through the headlines and children, and to pass the info to a ListAdapter. Any thoughts? [1] The MobileOrg software was developed for the iPhone, but it looks like it's doing the equivalent of a series of ListViews. When an item is selected, it show a ListView of the children of the headline. Ideally, each ListView would open up all the children onClick(), and open up a context menu onListViewLongClick(). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Unable to update TextView on a scheduled-basis
Why, yes. The blog post is good. But it inspires me to wonder: what is Guy's native language? I ask because he gave a classic learner's mistake confusing the gerund with the participle. I refer to: Since everything happens on a single thread performing long operations, like network access or database queries, on this thread will block the whole user interface. As it stands, 'performing' must be a participle, which leaves like network access or database queries dangling without a role in the sentence. But with moving just one comma (and adding the clarifying parentheses), it now parses correctly as a gerund, to read: Since everything happens on a single thread, performing long operations (like network access or database queries) on this thread will block the whole user interface. I am sure many readers of this forum will find that version of the sentence much more memorable as well as easier to follow.

[android-beginners] Puzzled By ImageView
Hi all, My first post. Greetings. I'm toying around with the Notepad tutorial and adding some functionality. So far, I've successfully added a timestamp to the note which is subsequently displayed to the left of the note title in the listview after saving a new note. However, as you can see below, I'm attempting to load and display a small .png file in the row as the first element - no luck so far. It seems fairly straight forward from the few docs I have found. The resource (yellowbutton) is created and listed as a drawable in the R file after saving the image to the drawable folder, and everything compiles fine. However the image (yellowbutton) isn't displayed in the row. Perhaps ImageView isn't the class/attribute I should be using? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Code is below.

[android-beginners] LinearLayout View Tutorial, weight behavior
Hi Everyone... Very short background... I'm currently a C developer (not C++ unfortunately... so no experience with OOP) who writes homebrew for the nintendo DS. I'm exploring moving away from that platform and towards the Android. That said, I'm doing as suggested at the end of the LinearLayout View tutorial and modifying the weight values to see how it affects the size of the columns and rows. The structure seemed very simple, so it seemed obvious that modifying the first weight (the top half) to 2 should give the top section 2/3rds of the screen and the bottom only 1/3rd. Instead... it appeared to be reversed... the upper area had become the smaller third (this is in the emulator... I do not have actual hardware yet). I tested the same idea on the color columns and the more expected result occured... the columns with greater weight were now wider and seemed to take up the correct fractional area of the screen. Any particular reason for this behavior? Thanks everyone, Jeremiah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

However, since I couldn't fix it, I tried changing the https prefix to http. This time, I got one step further - it was able to show available packages - but these packages are only API packages and the USB package. It doesn't show the platform packages which are required for the API packages to work. When I go ahead to install these anyway - the installation fails because there are no platforms. Just to confirm - I don't see any files/folders under the platforms directory. List of AVDs in Android UI is empty as well.

[android-beginners] Choice of API Level
The developer guide recommends choosing the lowest API level your application can support. However, the current SDK only includes images down to level 2. What about level 1? Aren't there devices in the wild that will use the 1.0 Platform?

[android-beginners] Re: It there a bug in the1.6 Emulators in landscape mode ?
I have worked this out now. You need to make a new AVD for the emulator. In the options for the AVD you need to add the keyboard option and then set this to be false. This will force this AVD not to emulate a physical keyboard and therefore show your keyboard in landscape mode.

[android-beginners] Re: how to hide keyboard when done typing
Holding the Menu button does not work on the Hero, either, which is a phone that doesn't even have a hard keyboard! After I published an app, I found out that Hero users couldn't input any information into my EditText fields. (As a workaround I added a button that allowed them to unhide/hide the soft keyboard. But it's just a workaround; Hero users tell me that they are accustomed to apps automatically showing the keyboard for them.)

[android-beginners] Looking for a developer to partner with
Hello, I have been a user of the smartphone style products since the original blackberries. I have used nearly every style of app available for the droid market, and I know what works and what doesn't, and what people look for. I have a few ideas that I have researched that are not currently available for download on the android market, and would like to see them come to life. Most of these ideas are game ideas that I see people calling for but so far have not been produced. With the experience I have, I believe these games would work best as small seperate demo games, then packaged together for a charge that would unlock full options and a leaderboard. I need someone who is getting to be pretty solid at the android game development end of things to partner with me. If the product is acceptable, I would pay the posting fee to android market and split any profits from potential sales.

[android-beginners] Re: error when starting Android project in Eclipse
What I have observed is that when adb does not have sufficient privileges, the device window shows the connected device as: ??unknown When in this state, attempting to run/deploy an Android application from Eclipse results in a null pointer exception. This will also occur regardless of the presence of other valid devices/emulators in the device window, so I suspect that the deployer interrogates the list of connected devices and throws the null pointer when it hits the unknown device.

The Mikrotik unit 'pushes' this onto all of our clients, until I started using the Droid. It doesn't seem to take. I can connect to the network, get an IP address, but all Internet traffic disappears at the first router. Mikrotik uses a non-standard option, 249, which is in the private range to issue this route.

[android-beginners] appwidget query
Hi all,
I am trying to launch an app widget from another application.
On click of a button in an application, the appwidget is receiving the
message i broadcasted.
I have implemented the appwidgetprovider class.
In the appwidgetprovider class, in the onReceive function i am able to
get the broadcasted message.
My broadcast file is:
package com.example.broadcast;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class broadcast extends Activity implements
View.OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public static final String ACTION_UPDATE_WIDGET =
Broadcast_Message;
public static final String MESSAGE = message;
public void onClick(View v) {
sendBroadcast();
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
start.setOnClickListener(this);
}
private void sendBroadcast() {
Log.i(test, send broadcast);
Intent broadcast = new Intent(this, receiver.class);
broadcast.putExtra(MESSAGE, Bye);
broadcast.setAction(ACTION_UPDATE_WIDGET);
sendBroadcast(broadcast);
Log.i(test, after send);
}
}
My appwidget class is as follows:
package com.example.broadcast;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetHost;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class receiver extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onReceive ( Context context,Intent intent ){
//super.onReceive(context,intent );
String action = intent.getAction();
String message=;
//String packagename=;
int appwidgetid;
Log.i(test, message received);
if( Broadcast_Message.equals ( action ) ) {
//String message;
Toast.makeText( context, Broadcast
sucessfull...,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if ( intent.hasExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE)) {
message = (String)
intent.getCharSequenceExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE);
Toast.makeText( context, message,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
message = message+in the for loop;
updateSampleWidget( context, appWidgetManager,
1,message );
}
}
private void updateSampleWidget(Context
context,AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager, int widget, String text) {
Log.i(test,In the update sample widget function);
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews
(context.getPackageName
(),R.layout.widget_provider);
views.setTextViewText(R.layout.widget, text);
//Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, broadcast.class);
//PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context, 0,intent1, 0);
//views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.layout.widget,
pendingIntent);
//appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widget, views);
}
}
The widget_provider.xml file contains the appwidget resource file.
The widget.xml file contains a textview element only.
The updateSampleWidget function is not getting executed.
Am i doing anything wrong here???
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to start an appwidet from the onReceive function?
2. Is it possible to start an appwidget from another applicaion by
sending and receiving a broadcast message?
Can any one help me on this?
Regards,
Anand

Re: [android-beginners] Having problems trying to find the right way to parse text files.
Looks like a treeview is how you want to display the data. I would store it using a parent-child format. I'm sure there is some code out there that parses XML, so take that code and modify it to parse your files in the same manner.

[android-beginners] Getting layouts to share space
Hello, I'm working on my first Android application which is basically a specialized calculator for a specific card game. What I need is to have two side by side tables of numbers (basically two side by side normal calculators). So, imagine your typical calculator, then imagine two of those side by side on the same form, that's what I need. Now, I just started developing this week, so I'm still really new. But basically I need to know how I can have two tables share equal space in my LinearLayout.

[android-beginners] Re: How much number of voices can android support for MIDI?
Look at: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html For specific number of simultaneous voices, I assume that it depends on which file type you're using (e.g. MIDI, RTTTL/RTX, etc.) and the CPU power for the specific device. For example, if you're using MIDI, you can look at the MIDI specification. Note that Android phones and most phones nowadays support Truetone (i.e. wave-data based instead of note-based, e.g. 3gp or mp3), which produces better quality sound, so these are popular. Consider that as well. -- PJ On Nov 11, 6:24 am, ando andoroi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'd like to know Polyphonic ringtones which android supports. I'll make a ringtone for android phone.

[android-beginners] Changing view then sleeping does not show up on screen.
I have a simple app that just changes the state of an image when you
press a button, waits 3 seconds, then changes back. The problem I am
seeing that that when it seems to sleep without changing the view to
show the state change, then when it is done, it changes back to the
original state, so to the user, it looks like nothing changed at all.
I may be way off in what I am thinking, but that seems to be the case,
as I can tell the sleep is working.
The code I have for the on click listener is:
press.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
bButtonBlue.setSelected(true);
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
bButtonBlue.setSelected(false);
}
});
}
Any ideas that could point me in the right direction would be much
appreciated.

[android-beginners] Re: Write a on sdcard
By the way, the emulator does not necessarily have an sdcard out-of- the-box. If you look in the top left corner of the emulator screen, you may see a notification that you do not have an sd card. So, before launching the emulator, you may need to create an sdcard image file to simulate that. For more info on that, see: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html Also, you can use the adb shell command to get a command-line prompt to the emulator and look around the filesystem to get a feel for how files are laid out. For example, look at /data for system and application data, look at /sdcard for sdcard data, etc. For more info on adb, see: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html Hope this helps! -- PJ On Nov 10, 9:18 am, Jairo jairo.alme...@gempi.com.br wrote: Hi, When is possible programing a sample android aplication to write text files on sdcard.

[android-beginners] Re: LinearLayout View Tutorial, weight behavior
Hi- The most likely explanation is that you did not modify the weight you thought you did. The very first occurrence of the layout_weight attribute is in the outermost LinearLayout, so it applies to the entire screen, not to the upper half alone (the color bands). To change the weight only for the latter, you need to change the SECOND occurrence of the layout_weight attribute. Of course, that still doesn't explain the reverse behavior you described, but at least it is a start. Now concerning your background: it is impressive that you have made this much progress in Android w/o an OOP background, but you will make it much easier on yourself if you take the time out to learn at least the elements of OOP using Java before putting too much effort into Android.

Or so I thought on first reading. But no, I was misled by the small frame in the tutorial. Now that I have it running in the emulator myself, I see the exact same thing you saw. OTOH, the behavior is closer to what is to be expected (based on the tutorial) if you change from the default only the weight in the green band, changing from 1 to 2: then the green band is approximately twice as big as the red and blue, but the yellow falls somewhere in between!

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class broadcast extends Activity implements
View.OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public static final String ACTION_UPDATE_WIDGET =
Broadcast_Message;
public static final String MESSAGE = message;
public void onClick(View v) {
sendBroadcast();
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
start.setOnClickListener(this);
}
private void sendBroadcast() {
Log.i(test, send broadcast);
Intent broadcast = new Intent(this, receiver.class);
broadcast.putExtra(MESSAGE, Bye);
broadcast.setAction(ACTION_UPDATE_WIDGET);
sendBroadcast(broadcast);
Log.i(test, after send);
}
}
My appwidget class is as follows:
package com.example.broadcast;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetHost;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProviderInfo;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class receiver extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onReceive ( Context context,Intent intent ){
//super.onReceive(context,intent );
String action = intent.getAction();
String message=;
//String packagename=;
int appwidgetid;
Log.i(test, message received);
if( Broadcast_Message.equals ( action ) ) {
//String message;
Toast.makeText( context, Broadcast
sucessfull...,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if ( intent.hasExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE)) {
message = (String)
intent.getCharSequenceExtra(broadcast.MESSAGE);
Toast.makeText( context, message,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
message = message+in the for loop;
updateSampleWidget( context, appWidgetManager,
1,message );
}
}
private void updateSampleWidget(Context
context,AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager, int widget, String text) {
Log.i(test,In the update sample widget function);
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews
(context.getPackageName
(),R.layout.widget_provider);
views.setTextViewText(R.layout.widget, text);
//Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, broadcast.class);
//PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context, 0,intent1, 0);
//views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.layout.widget,
pendingIntent);
//appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widget, views);
}
}
The widget_provider.xml file contains the appwidget resource file.
The widget.xml file contains a textview element only.
The updateSampleWidget function is not getting executed.
Am i doing anything wrong here???
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to start an appwidet from the onReceive function?
2. Is it possible to start an appwidget from another applicaion by
sending and receiving a broadcast message?
Can any one help me on this?
Regards,
Anand

Re: [android-beginners] Getting layouts to share space
I forgot to mention that the calcs need to be children of the parent layout. I would suggest reading the Dev guide on layouts and looking at some of the Hello Views samples...

What I need is to have two side by side tables of numbers (basically two side by side normal calculators). So, imagine your typical calculator, then imagine two of those side by side on the same form, that's what I need. Now, I just started developing this week, so I'm still really new. But basically I need to know how I can have two tables share equal space in my LinearLayout. I want each calculator table to share equal space (with a tad bit of padding in between them) in the layout, however I have no idea what attributes to use to do this.

[android-beginners] Support of JKS Keystore in Android
Hi, I am having Java SSL based server and I want to connect android SSL supported client to it. My keystore in Java is JKS, but android says no JKS implementation found. It supports BKS. Is there any way to have JKS support for android ? If not then how can use BKS in Java. I am trying using PKCS12, but documentation says using PKCS12 for trustanchors purpose is not supported. Does anybody has any suggestions about this issue ? -- ...Swapnil || Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare || || Hare RamaHare Rama Rama RamaHare Hare || -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Unable to update TextView on a scheduled-basis
Yeah, I was thinking the View#postDelayed way from that post would be fine in this case myself.
