Re: [android-beginners] Re: Unable to deploy apps to AVD using Eclipse

2010-07-25 Thread Kostya Vasilyev


Abduaziz,

Does your Windows home directory have non-English characters? 
(C:\Users\your name)?


I found that in this case (mine has Russian characters), the emulator 
has various problems. I use the command line to create the emulator in 
some other directory that has only English characters (e.g. android 
create avd -p D:\Android\emulators\avd_1.6_qvga).

Dear DanH

Thank you for your reply.

When I first started my AVD I waited for some time until it was 
initialzed and I was at the home screen. The problem is that my app 
didn't deploy as I did the same on Ubuntu and it started the once the 
AVD was initialized.


As for the second comment, it actually popped up once the AVD started 
under Ubuntu but not Windows. So this might be a Windows case.


Thanx and regards,

First off, the first time you start an AVD after creating it you have
to wait a VERY LONG TIME for it to configure itself completely.

Secondly, I have found that, contrary to the docs, the application
does not pop up of its own accord once loaded, but instead you have
to press the Menu (I think) button.  This may be something peculiar to
my config, but I suspect it's dependent on the particular AVD you
choose.

 Hi all,

 I am new to Android development and have a very long experience
in Java
 technology development. When trying to develop for Android,
using Eclipse
 and Android SDK, I have had a problems with deploying the apps, or
 simulating them, using the AVD. The problem is when I run the
application,
 through Eclipse, the AVD device booted normally but my
applications don't
 get deploy.

 I have tried to solve it by changing almost everything in the run
 configuration and the Android preference. I even deleted the
Android SDK and
 installed it again but with no use.

 My environment setup is:
 - Windows 7
 - Eclipse Helios
 - Android sdk r06
 - Android plugin for Eclipse 0.9.7.v201

 Now I have tried the same setup on Ubuntu 10.04 and it is
working fine.

 Anyone had a similar problem?

Re: [android-beginners] Unable to release partial wake lock in service

2010-07-25 Thread Nick Richardson

If i'm understanding you correctly, you want the service to close/stop when
you tell it to?  If that is the case, try calling stopSelf() after you
release your wake lock... This should cause the service to self terminate
and close.

On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 10:15 AM, Bret Foreman bret.fore...@gmail.comwrote:

 I'm using the following code inside OnStartCommand of my service:

wakelock =
 myPowerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK ,
 getString(R.string.app_name) );
try {
wakelock.acquire();
wakelockAcquired = true;
} catch (Exception e) {
android.util.Log.e( getString(R.string.app_name) , Unable
 to
 acquire wake lock );
}

 And then when I stop the service I use the following code, which I've
 verified _is_ getting called:

if( wakelockAcquired  (wakelock != null) ) {
try {
wakelock.release();
wakelockAcquired = false;
} catch (Exception e) {
android.util.Log.e( getString(R.string.app_name) ,
 Unable to
 release wake lock );
}
}

 After all this, I exit my application and check the settings, both on
 a physical phone and on the emulator and the service is still in
 memory. In addition, the onDestroy method of the service is never
 getting called, despite the fact that the wakelock is released and the
 parent activity that was originally bound to it is destroyed (and the
 parent Activity called ServiceConnection.unbindService in its
 onDestroy method).

 What more can I do to kill off this zombie service?

Hi Kostya

Actually, my whole OS is in English so this will eliminate the possibility.

BTW, can this be related to Windows 7? I mean is there anyone who is using
Windows 7 and not having the problem?

sorry for the following explanation... I just didn't know how to

What I would like to do is when I click a certain button, my app

I just don't know right now, what I have to do or even if this is
possible, so if anyone could help me or direct into the correct
