2010-07-30 Thread cellurl
my customers have requested auto-close. Its not actually closing an
about-box, its on a things-are-progressing type pop-up window.
Also, my customers are in their car, so they need to safely glance at
the screen while its safely docked on the dashboard. I have resisted
it for 6 months, but I can always put it back...

Why? Power. Only in a cradle will GPS be left on without draining the

[android-beginners] When clicking on a widget, how to make it just change the text inside the widget?

2010-06-29 Thread cellurl
I have a working widget. When pressed, it launches a class.

Instead of launching a class, I just want it to change the text in the
widget and also change setOnClickPendingIntent to something different.

Or perhaps I should rephrase and say, If I launch a class, how can I
make it invisible?
Eg, I always get a little oval in the middle which I don't want... And
I have to hit the back-button to erase it...

My existing code is:

RemoteViews updateViews = null;
updateViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.widget_word);
updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.definition, off);

Intent intent = new Intent(this, Translate.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent= PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
intent, 0);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, pendingIntent);

Thanks for any suggestions!

[android-beginners] Can a full app (not widget) be postage stamp size?

2010-05-30 Thread cellurl
Can an app not be full-screen?
E.g. can I make a postage size app?

I want to show the speed limit while you drive. It has to update a
lot...
It would look best in a postage size app, so other apps could show
thru around the side...

Widgets don't update enough, so I can't go the widget route.

I also considered using a status-bar notification, but the status bar
isn't big enough.
E.g. The status bar probably isn't visible in a dashboard cradle mount
type situ.

Any solutions appreciated.

Find a way to avoid square-roots.
In school they say take the square-root for everything,
but in real-life, if you really study the problem (like gps distance
or such),
you rarely really need it. Just think in terms of squares, it saves a
ton of computation (and battery).

 That will be difficult. You cannot fork threads from an
 AppWidgetProvider, since it is a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver,
 and your AppWidgetProvider will be alive for milliseconds (I hope).
 There is no clean way to have an AppWidgetProvider be around for the
 tens of seconds necessary to get aGPSfix. Not to mention the fact that
 you might never get a fix (e.g., user is in a parking garage).



      @Override
      public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager

 You cannot do that here. If you look at your logcat, you will probably
 see an exception complaining about there being no looper.

 It is quite stunning how much Android code you can write without needing
 a custom Looper. My advice has always been, and will remain, that if you
 feel you need a Looper, start by looking for other implementation
 patterns, then and only then actually put in the Looper.

            final LocationListener locationListener= new
  LocationListener() {
                public void onLocationChanged(Location newloc) {
                         Log.d(TAG,NEVER GETS HERE);

                public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
                public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
                public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
                             Bundle extras) {}
            };

 You are declaring your LocationListener inside your Runnable. That is
 very scary. Try declaring it on your Activity or Service or something.

 Even better, there is absolutely no reason to be registering for
 location updates in a background thread. Register for the location
 updates on your main application thread. If you need to do the work
 triggered by the location update on a background thread, deal with it
 only at that point (e.g., by an AsyncTask). You can see an example of
 that pattern here:

 http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Service/WeatherPlus/

            lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
  (float) 0.001, locationListener);

            while (true)
            {
               }

 Never never never never never never never never never never never never
 never never never never never never never never never never never never
 never never never never never never never never never never never never
 never never never never never never never never never never never never
 never do this.

 You went and declared a Looper, then decided that you're not actually
 going to use the Looper, because you never give the Looper a chance to
 do anything. So even if your LocationListener is properly registered, it
 will never get control, because your thread is tied up in this busy loop.

 Furthermore, a tight busy loop like that is going to chew up the CPU
 enough that it will make anything else difficult to run.

[android-beginners] GPS Can't get onLocationChanged to hit

2010-02-22 Thread cellurl
I am using Visa, Eclipse, Emulator. I can get my position using GPS
using the Emulator.
I want to make my program more battery friendly.

This code never gets to onLocationChanged(). In DDMS I change Lat, and
hit SEND.
I briefly tried the other file-lat-methods, but they didn't do any
better.

Q: If I change the lat by 0.001 (approx 100meters) shouldn't it hit
onLocationChanged() or am I confused...

I got it to work in an entirely different Activity, but this one uses
a thread, so perhaps that's a clue.
Thanks for any help

You gotta give more info up front.

2. Run the existing HelloWorld first before writing your own

It works if you install and follow all the step by step steps.

[android-beginners] Not sure why my app installs twice (I see two identical ICON's).

2009-12-25 Thread cellurl
When I run my app in the emulator, I see the ICON in the list of
programs twice instead of just once like it should be.
FYI, This app originated as a copy of an old app, and also, I recently
switched from 1.5 to 2.1, so perhaps thats involved.

e.g. In the emulator, I see my apps ICON twice.

I must have two entries in the manifests or two identical-ish classes
or something dumb like that??

Any help appreciated.
I can post the code if needed.

Merry Christmas,

 Hi,

 I'm trying to start a GPS program and I'm just trying out the first
 step to display coordinates as they change.

 I followedhttp://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/39239and used the
 LocationManager and LocationListener classes.

 Code:
 public class GPSTest extends Activity {
     /** Called when the activity is first created. */

         private TextView text;
         private LocationManager manager;
         private LocationListener listener;

     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.main);

         text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Text);

         manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService
 (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
         listener = new MyLocationListener();
         manager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
 0, 0, listener);
     }

     private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener{

                 public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                         if (location != null){
                                 text.setText(text.getText() + \n + 
 location.getLatitude() + , 
 + location.getLongitude() +  -  + location.getAccuracy());
                         }
                 }

                 public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                 }

                 public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                 }

                 public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, 
 Bundle
 extras) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                 }

     }

 }

 However, once I run the code on the phone, the GPS icon is seen
 flashing but nothing happens. The method onLocationChanged is never
 reached (according to breakpoints). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Yusuf,

It uses your-network to PUSH lat,lon,speed to show up here:
http://www.wikispeedia.org/l/maps.html

If it seems to be a network/programming issue, perhaps its ok to
continue discussion here a little? BTW, it does yell at you if you
drive 10 over the limit

I only ever ran it on on eclipse,  I will try to look in the logs to
find you...

Q: Perhaps there are some gotcha's in going to a real device?

 I haven't done any GPS programming for Android but I would assume the
 current time/date would not be provided by the GPS API...

 If you just want the current time, you could use the currentTimeMillis()
 method but I'm not sure exactly what class that is on.  Or you can create a
 Time object (android.text.format.Time) and call the setToNow() method on it.

Hi,

With the help of this group I went from 0 -to- submitting to ADC-2,
Thanks!

Now I have a favor to ask. Can anyone test this app? I am pretty sure

there isn't an Android within 100 miles of me. (yea, I need to get off

If anyone can test this app, I would be eternally grateful!

[android-beginners] The server does not accept apks signed with the debug certificate.

2009-08-29 Thread cellurl

I am trying to upload an app to the ADC-2.

http://market.android.com/adc/Home#EDIT_APPLICATION:

It says my .adk is wrong.

The server does not accept apks signed with the debug certificate.
Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50 years.
The server requires that the certificate used to sign the apk be valid
until at least October 22, 2033. Create a new certificate.


Q: How do I fix this? I know how to run in eclipse in regular or
debug, but I can't figure out how to make eclipse build a release
version.

FYI, I created my .apk using eclipse-Export button.


Thanks for any help!

 http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#Export...

 To create a signed .apk, right-click the project in the Package
 Explorer and select Android Tools  Export Signed Application Package.

 I don't use Eclipse personally, so I cannot get much deeper into the
 explanation than the public docs.

 As the section preceding the linked-to one points out, you can test an
 APK to see what key it was signed with via:

 jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs my_application.apk

 If it has CN=Android Debug, it was signed with the debug key. If the CN
 is your firm, it was probably signed with your production key.

 If you use a function that needs a special permission you don't have

 haven't enclosed the call to that function in a try-block this will  
 cause to stop your application. So you'll see it w/o logging.

 Hope this helps

 Hi everybody,

 I build Lunar Lander (from the android-1.5 directory) and launched it

 When i press the home-button while playing, the homescreen is

 crashes with E/AndroidRuntime(  711):
 java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: Thread already started..
 (Sidenote: Leaving with the back-button an returning seems to work.)

 Is that a flaw in the example, or am I doing something wrong?

 Also while it is running when started normally adb logcat shows the
 following message periodically:
 W/SurfaceFlinger(  568): executeScheduledBroadcasts() skipped,
 contention on the client. We'll try again later...

 Is this another flaw in the example (maybe incorrect handling of the
 surface?)

 Thanks for any enlightenment on those questions.

 ps: tried googling, but the surfaceFlinger thing only seems to comes
 up as a sideeffect in crash logs for the emulator.

Heres my project

In file HelloGridView.java, in the onCreate() method, I get my first
error.


 gridview.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));


My fixit choices are:
Cast argument 1 to ListAdapter
Let ImageAdapter implement ListAdapter
Rename in file.

Any help appreciated.

thanks for any help

My error now is:

[2009-07-24 14:03:15 - HelloGridView]
trouble processing java/lang/Object.class:
[2009-07-24 14:03:15 - HelloGridView]
Attempt to include a core VM class in something other than a core
library.
It is likely that you have attempted to include the core library from
a desktop
virtual machine into an application, which will most assuredly not
work. If
you really intend to build a core library -- which is only appropriate
as
part of creating a full virtual machine binary, as opposed to
compiling an
application -- then use the --core-library option to suppress this
error
message. If you go ahead and use --core-library but are in fact
building
an application, then please be aware that your build will still fail
at some
point; you will simply be denied the pleasure of reading this helpful
error
message.

  Select in the Contents section Create project from existing source.
  Now you can specify in the section called Location where to pick up
  your existing project (in this case thesampleapplications).

  For example the samples on my system are located at

  android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r1/platforms/android-1.5/samples/ApiDemos

  Now specify for which target you want to build (for example Android
  1.5).

  If everything works fine, you should be able to click on the Finish
  button to create your Android project with the Androidsamplecode.
