Re: [android-beginners] Changing WiFi network login
The other side, as in something beyond the network level, or do you mean the authentication used to connect to the WiFi network, via enterprise WPA or some such? If the authentication is done after the WiFi connection is established, than the way you asked the original question seems unusual.

[android-beginners] Re: addContentView obscures events
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to get the same sort of effect that the browser or google maps has with the zoom in/out buttons (in that they show up on top of the current view)? I'm trying to do the following: overlay a Drawable and interact with it (reposition, resize based on touch events) on an arbitrary background (a SurfaceView or just a linear layout with a background). I want to reuse this same code for multiple backgrounds. Above all of that I'd need buttons to control the activity that would change based on which activity. I think I just don't understand the best way to lay this out with the proper view hierarchy...

[android-beginners] Re: addContentView obscures events
I've never tried to do an overlay view, but it seems to me to make sense that once the overlay view is on top that it would capture all events... Is there a better way to accomplish the same effect that I'm not thinking of? An additional consideration is that I'm intending to use that same overlay view on multiple base views... If you want it to propogate to the base view I think you are going to have to handle it in the overlay and then pass it on to the base view somehow. Not entirely sure how to do that, but that seems the most logical approach to me. So I tried this by calling the dispatchTouchEvent on the base view from the overlay. From there one can compare the coordinates of the MotionEvent to the Rect of the clickable object in questions and then call performClick on the button. This seems like a hack, but it works. * If there were more buttons it would be a hassle * The buttons don't actually respond as though they're clicked - I'm wondering if it's possible to make this happen programmatically...

Actually I just realized that's not quite what I'm looking for because the overlay will always draw above the buttons on the base view.

[android-beginners] addContentView obscures events
I'm trying to overlay one view on top of another using addContentView.
The bottom view has an ImageButton on it linked to a ClickListener.
This all worked fine until I add the overlay view using:
addContentView(overlayView, new
LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
After that, no click events are seen by my base view. I think I'm
missing something fundamental about event propagation wrt views, but I
can't figure it out... any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

[android-beginners] adb shell command gives very inconsistent results
I do not own an Android phone and am working exclusively in the Eclipse/emulator environment on my laptop. When I type in the adb shell cmd from the tools directory I get very inconsistent results. Sometimes it says error: device not found. Sometimes it says error: device offline. If I start a small application and continue to type in the adb shell command until the emulator starts I get the 2 errors I just mentioned in that order and then the adb shell command actually works and I can see the # prompt, and type in commands such as ls -l and see the results. Then as I'm working in the shell it suddenly ends and I'm back at the Windows prompt. I am running on Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

Re: [android-beginners] Adapting Android Bluetooth Chat for multiple devices

Eventually I'm going to develop a multiplayer Bluetooth Game. Currently I've adapted Android's sample app BluetoothChat to connect my three Nexxus One phones. 1 connects to 2 who connects to 3 1 sends its messages successfully to 2. 3 sends its messages successfully to 2 as well. 2 can send its messages successfully to 1 and 3, as it shares a ConnectedThread with both. But I can't figure out how to handle getting communication from 1 to 3. What you describe here is a simplified version of a star pattern. Where there's one node in the center that all other nodes talk to. Is you intended design to operate this way, or do you wish to instead form a mesh where everyone can talk directly to everyone else? If the former, then you need to have code in 2 to relay messages, and you need to design the message protocol such that there's a sense of recipient specified in the message. Then 2 can handle messages for itself, and pass on messages for others. If the latter, then you simply need to make a direct connection between 1 and 3. The same way 1 connects to 2, connect it to 3. (Unless there's some reason that only one outgoing connection can exist, in which case you may be limited to a star formation.) Does anyone have any examples of communication between multiple devices or has done this themselves? Thanks Nope. All of the above is design, and I'm afraid I know nothing about Android bluetooth.

Re: [android-beginners] Finger swipe in Android API level 3 (OS 1.5) ?
Thanks much. I had found something similar elsewhere in my searching, and as
you ended up making a subclass of SimpleOnGestureListener. As it happens, I
made that class inside of my primary Activity class, so I didn't have to pass
the object into the instantiator like you did, but the same have to work back
into the main object effectively applies, and I see your point.
If I get to a point where I'm willing to ignore the 1.5 OS revision, I'll see
what else can be done with the new gestures support added in API level 4...

To see it in action and test it out you can take a look at AppSwipe! on
the market (It's free...)
In order to get the swipe working exactly the way you want it to you may have
to fiddle around with the three integers used for detecting a swipe.
public class GallerySwipeUpDetector extends SimpleOnGestureListener
implements OnTouchListener
{
private Gallery m_gallery;
GestureDetector m_detector;
int m_swipeMaxOffPath; //Maximum horizontal tolerance for detecting a
vertical swipe
int m_swipeMinDistance; //Minimum distance in order to detect a vertical
swipe
int m_swipeMinVelocity; //Minimum velocity (pixels/second) in order to
detect a vertical swipe
public GallerySwipeUpDetector(Gallery gallery)
{
m_gallery = gallery;
m_detector = new GestureDetector(this);
m_swipeMaxOffPath = 25;
m_swipeMinDistance = 10;
m_swipeMinVelocity = 10;
}
@Override
public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX,
float velocityY)
{
if (Math.abs(e1.getX() - e2.getX()) m_swipeMaxOffPath
e1.getY() - e2.getY() = m_swipeMinDistance
Math.abs(velocityY) = m_swipeMinVelocity)
{
int pos = m_gallery.pointToPosition((int)e1.getX(),
(int)e1.getY());
int firstPos = m_gallery.getFirstVisiblePosition();
int viewablePos = pos - firstPos;
View swipedView = m_gallery.getChildAt(viewablePos);
if (swipedView != null)
executeSwipeUpAction(pos);
return true;
}
return false;
}
protected void executeSwipeUpAction(int pos)
{
//Do stuff
}
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
return m_detector == null ? false : m_detector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}
I would then use this class as follows:
Gallery myGallery = (Gallery) findViewById(R.id.myGalleryID);
myGallery.setOnTouchListener(new GallerySwipeUpDetector(myGallery));
There may be a better way to do this, but this worked for me. If someone
else has another solution that works better then I would be interested as
well. I really don't like having to call a method on my gallery and pass it
in as an argument to my listener (I think it's ugly and probably a poor
design), but that was the only thing I could think of to do and it works.
Hope this helps,
Justin

Re: [android-beginners] Re: screenOrientation question
Great, thanks for the info on rotating the emulator. That still doesn't really answer my question, but I think it suggests that it's an emulator bug. When using an HVGA-L screen on a 1.5 emulator, the application wrongly comes up in portrait (sideways) on the landscape device. When I switch the device, which actually makes it appear upside-down of what the skin should look like, the application rotates with it, staying portrait. I think it's just a bug of the way the emulator sees landscape on a device that's wide than it is tall... Thanks. I'll hope this won't be an issue on real phones... - Chris On Mar 31, 2010, at 12:59 PM, niko20 wrote: Hi You can simulate orientation changes by pressing CNTRL + F12 This allows you to test if your app remains in the correct orientation.

Well, as I was bundling up the output of the debugger and logcat, I figured
out the issue. Thanks. *Well* back in the logcat output was the following
piece.
If you look in it, you'll see that it notes that I'd screwed up something in
my layout that requires a layout_width (and layout_height) that I had not

[android-beginners] Failure in ActivityLaunch
I'm having a failure to even run my app of late. I switched from running an activity, that starts a service (intended for only local use), to instead use an AsyncTask to perform the background processing (network load) I needed. The failure I'm seeing according to the debugger looks like an OS- level failure, presumedly due to something I've screwed up. I've seen this sort of thing before, when I'd forgotten something in my manifest.xml, but I've looked at that a few times and don't know what I might've done. Any suggestions as to what I should look at? I took the onCreate of my Activity and stubbed it out so it calls super, sets the view, then returns. I'm still getting a failure to launch, so I think it's *not* in my java code, but as of now, that I've removed the service, I only have the one main activity, so my manifest is pretty basic. Any thoughts appreciated. If I can provide any useful details, I'd be happy to. - Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

If that's the issue, then I was just misunderstanding what an AsyncTask was, and I can try to google around to figure out how to add it. I was under the impression that I had only the one Activity, but that it spawned background threads away from the U/I thread, that didn't need to be tracked in the manifest...

Re: [android-beginners] Re: possible to send an xml file via HttpClient?
You can send parameters encoded in the url of an HTTP GET operation, but I wouldn't suggest using anything long. I would suggest using an HTTP POST operation, or if you actually want to treat it as a file, rather than a blob of XML data, an HTTP PUT. Most any web server software will know how to handle an HTTP POST, for sure. The question is, what does the server expect? This is much more an HTTP question than an android question. - Chris On Mar 17, 2010, at 10:38 AM, KC Dev Android 06 wrote: What im trying to do is simply send a xml file that i have created into a http server.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: possible to send an xml file via HttpClient?
But, do you know exactly what sort of HTTP operation is expected by the server, and how it expects the xml file to be encoded and transmitted? If you do not know these answers, very precisely, you won't know how to code you client. As for HTTP and your second question, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html and a quick google finds http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/ which might be at least as valuable. - Chris On Mar 17, 2010, at 10:50 AM, KC Dev Android 06 wrote: The server basically expects the contacts stored on a android device in an xml file.

[android-beginners] ViewFactory for multiple switchers?
At first glance, I don't see a way for a class to act as a ViewFactory for multiple ViewSwitchers. Specifically, I have both an ImageSwitcher and a TextSwitcher in my activity, and while I understand I can create a small class to act as a factory for one (or each) of them, the example code just implements all of that within the Activity. Is there a way to provide views for multiple ViewSwitchers? By figuring out which switcher is invoking it, or some other such? Thanks... - Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] ViewSwitcher basics
Hi there. I'm just looking into getting into Android development. My Java skills are modest, but I have extensive C/C++/Obj-C experience, and have done development of iPhone applications, so I understand the conceptual issues. In learning to use the Android SDK, I took as an intro project wanting to build an application to view multiple images. Much like a Gallery object does, in concert with a ImageSwitcher, which I see in the API Demos application. However, my concept didn't have a pre-set image list, nor thumbnails. So, just in Take n images, obtained from somewhere (WWW, most likely), and allow the user to switch through them terms, I started looking at ImageSwitcher, as it seemed good. But, it's not clear to me how to control it without some other class, such as Gallery. Although, if I could bind a swipe control directly to an ImageSwitcher, it might suffice. Looking at ViewSwitcher, however, shows that it might do what I want. If I understand correctly, I could implement a ViewFactory that would produce the correct next image. Since I want to switch between N images, and ViewSwither only handles two. If I'm headed down the wrong path, I'd be happy to be told so. Otherwise, any suggestions as to whether a ViewSwitcher.ViewFactory can be used in this way would help. I suppose I'm just looking for a validity check from people who know more than I. Thanks. Sorry for a newbie-ish question, but it is a beginners list after-all. :-) - Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group. NEW!

[android-beginners] Need help with determinate progress bar
Hello everyone I have tried following the ProgressBar1,2, and 3 examples, but I am having a problem creating a determinate progress bar. Using Eclipse I add a ProgressBar to my layout and set the 'indeterminate' attribute to false, however when it appears in the emulator, it is indeterminate. I've tried programmtically setting it - same problem. I'm able to use the seekbar widget with no problem - but not what I need. This is such a trivial thing - if anyone can show me how to create a simple horizontal progress bar that is determinate, has a determinate end, I will be very happy.

[android-beginners] Enabling Android.Speech
I'm trying to play around with the TTS capabilities outlined at http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/09/introduction-to-text-to-speech-in.html However, the default SDK setup doesn't seem to include a reference to the android.speech.* package.

[android-beginners] Re: no text displayed on emulator in Hello World program
Has anyone figured this out yet? It's a bit depressing something as
simple as Android's hello world tutorial doesn't work.
I'm running this under Eclipse 3.5 on Ubuntu. The fancy emulator
window pops up, showing a reddish phone displaying the Android logo,
and that's it. My console seems to show a red message (presumably an
error?):

[android-beginners] Unable to update TextView on a scheduled-basis
Hello everyone, I'm new to Android (but not Java), so bear with me. I'm trying to create a stopwatch-type UI, where a digital timer is displayed and incrementing every second. I started off creating a textview and attempted to update this textview (TextView.setText()) using either the TimerTask class to update the view in a timer as well as updating the view in the same thread, using a Thread.sleep(1000). In either case, the view does not get updated. Obviously this doesn't seem to be the proper way to go about updating a text view. Any suggestions on the proper way to notify the textview?

[android-beginners] How to set clickable areas of a single image?
Hi All I have one image (it's a guitar fretboard), and I want to identify/act on touch of events when different parts of the image are touched/ selected. I can set the whole image to be clickable with setClickOnListener of ImageView. Is there a way to either: 1. Identify the coordinates of which point has been touched? 2. Define sub areas on the image and setClickOnListener for those areas? Otherwise, I'm thinking I must implement a GridView and dissect my image into individual images and arrange them so they look like one large image. Thanks for any help!

[android-beginners] Re: Compile C on Android Phone
On Oct 3, 5:18 am, Sean Hodges seanhodge...@googlemail.com wrote: As far as I'm aware, no. There is no native C compiler available for the stock Android platform. To get that level of access to your device, you'd need to root the phone and cross-compile a tool-chain for it. Rooting the phone is not technically required, though it would make life easier by opening up your options for where to install the executable. I'm not aware of a C compile that has been made to run on an android phone (as opposed to produce executables for one, which is common). I'm sure it is possible, however I would also suggest that it's probably not a good idea - you have a computer with limited ram, the available storage media is not really designed for intensive re-write cycles, and you don't exactly have a great platform on which to do serious file editing. But none of these things mean you couldn't do a little light duty development on the phone if you really, really want to. If you really want to do it, an option to compiling a compiler with the android toolchain would be to see if you could make one built to run on arm-linux work by moving over enough of the arm-linux shared libraries, as this may be simpler than trying to compile against android's non-linux libraries.

If you can statically link the executable and it's in the right format it might work, but Android is primarily intended for pseudo-java programming within it's provided SDK. If you really want to write (or port) C programs, download the android NDK and re purpose its toolchain to build executables dynamically linked against Android's unique runtime libraries. That toolchain is actually intended for building jni libraries, not stand alone executables, but if you search for an unofficial setup called android-ndk-wrappers you will be able to set it up for somewhat normal compiler usage.

In the case of android, the apis are not only documented but the actual code is available (and if you are careful to do it right, legal) to use as the basis of a translation layer. In other words, for running android apps on a windows mobile phone the problems are simply technical... if someone wants to do it badly enough, they will come up with a way to.

I would assume that sooner or later we are going to start to see compatibility layers to allow applications developed for one framework to run on another, though it may not become fully practical until phones have a bit more horsepower, and it will probably first become practical as a cross platform toolkit where you write for the compatibility layer rather than any native framework. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

When setting more than one timer/alarm, the second parameter in the Pending Intent call to getBroadcast is important. Your code looks like this: PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, i, 0); The first zero can be changed up. At this point, the docs define the second parameter this way: requestCode Private request code for the sender (currently not used). However, this request code can be used. If you want to setup a bunch of timers/alarm calls, try using unique request codes for each individual alarm. Track these request codes and set them to be the same when you want to update or cancel an existing alarm. Although the docs say that system is supposed to recognize the intent parameter and take action based on matching the intent and the flags in the last parameter, I found that the request code was used in the match-up. Setting unique request codes for each unique intent solved all my problems. World peace will ensue.

[android-beginners] SqliteOpenHelper db adapter design question
I am writing an Android app that has a single database file with 3 tables ( AudioTable, PeopleMap, ImageTable) and am looking at 2 design alternatives: 1. A -single- database adapter (myDBAdapter.java) which uses a database helper class that extends SQLiteOpenHelper. The adapter class has separate methods for accessing and updating rows in each of the 3 tables. ie. insertAudio() insertPeople() insertImage() 2. 3 different database adapters for each table all using the same db file.. 1. audioDBAdapter.java, 2. peopleDBAdapter.java, 3. imageDBAdapter.java) Each adapter uses it's own db helper class (extending SQLiteOpenHelper) While option 2 offers better encapsulation of the 3 classes (and corresponding data), I'm wondering if there couldbe a performance overhead or does the SQLiteOpenHelper implementation handle this without much overhead ? Or is there some other way I can get better encapsulation with option 1. something similar to the way the Contacts Provider nicely allows for separate instances of Contacts.People, Contacts.Phones, Contacts.Settings, etc. Chris. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

The indicator always shows up as new VM in the status/notifications bar. Also, I get a weird blank SMS every time I delete the VM from my inbox using the carrier dialup interface. I am assuming that this blank VM is a message to the fone to make something happen. How do I get my device to recognize this SMS and clear my VM in the top bar? Using a Google ION fone at 1.5 Cupcake. Regards --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Receiving Changes to the Phone state
Hi Zsolt, I had understood that by prefixing my BroadcastReceiver with '.', Android would look in my default namespace (i.e. I'd get com.technicana.customercontact. for free). Is this correct? I am wondering whether my complete lack of any activity or service in my manifest is preventing things operating correctly. Has anyone had any success getting notifications of an incoming call via the ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED broadcast intent? Chris On May 26, 12:41 am, Zod zsolt.ba...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Chris!

[android-beginners] Receiving Changes to the Phone state
Hi All,
I'm using the following code in an attempt to get notification that
the phone state has changed. However, when I run it on the emulator I
can make and receive calls without ever triggering my breakpoint on
the 'Log.d' line. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
manifest package=com.technicana.customercontact
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE/
uses-permission
receiver android:name=.CallBroadcastReceiver
intent-filer
action
android:name=android.telephony.TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED/
/intent-filer
/receiver
/manifest
And the code file: CallBroadCastReceiver.java
package com.technicana.customercontact;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
public class CallBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(Here, Broadcast received);
}
}
Regards,
Chris Spicer

[android-beginners] porting old java to android
Hi all
I've dug out some old java code i want to port to android.
so far so simple
but im getting a real beginners errors
I got lunar lander SDK sample app and ive added in a variable
private int pw;
and a function that refers to it
private void test() {
pw=0;
}
i get pw cannot be resolved.
but when i remove the reference to it in the function its no problem.
i can't see how what im doing is any different to the existing
variables and functions.
Background info: im used to text editing java, rather than eclipse IDE/
XML but I'm pretty sure I don't need to define it anywhere other than
in the .java file.

I have a LayerDrawable consisting of 4 Drawables each representing a PNG. I get layers to change to different Drawables as desired, but only a few times.

[android-beginners] Get callback when telephony is out of service?
Hi, I want to record the coordinates when the phone goes out of service, and when it comes back in a service area. I found the android.telephony.ServiceState, and its getState() should return a useful value, but I'd prefer to not run this in a loop. Is there some generic way of creating callbacks for things like this? Or should I just call getState every x seconds?

[android-beginners] Flip view in Gmail app on Android

[android-beginners] Adding Custom Hardware?
Hello all, I am using the Logic PD OMAP3430 development platform, with the intended result of integrating a custom i2c IC so that we can develop demo applications for Android. Overall, this configuration is similar to a production G1, except for the added peripherals offered by the 3430LDP. Currently, I have a userspace driver written in C, and communication and proper operation of our part have been verified while running an Android-configured variant of the 2.6.27 kernel. Looking at the Android stack (http://code.google.com/android/images/ system-architecture.jpg), it looks like the driver could somehow be compiled into a library or wrapped to fit into the application framework, but I have been unable to find any documentation on this type of project. We need the part to be able to send data to userspace; now it seems like we would almost have to tear Android apart and rebuild it in order for this to work, even if the driver was built into the kernel. Maybe I've missed something, and if so I would certainly appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Any tips, suggestions, or general information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[android-beginners] Weirdness in Emulator with ListView
I don't have my phone yet but I'm getting a jumpstart on things by using the emulator (I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 with the Android Development Toolkit version 0.8.0.v200809220836-110569). What's happening is this ...I have a scrolling ListView, and if I scroll it by clicking the emulator's up and down buttons all is well. But if I move the list by clicking on an entry in the list with the mouse and then dragging the list, the entire list gets a dark grey background instead of the nice sunflower color it normally has. Is this a bug in the emulator, or does the real phone do this as well? Is there some flag I have to set in my code that says don't draw ugly stuff?

You need to tack a .toString() in there as well:
if(name.getText().toString().equals(anotherName.getText().toString())){
getText() returns an android.text.Editable object, not a String.
