Dear all,
I have solved my problem, so the issue below is no logner relevant
Thank you for all the great input I have got in this forum

Dear all,
I have developed a small app that helps the driver to regulate his
speed in order to pass the traffic light when it is green; and thereby
minimizing the number of times that he has to stop for red.
But, the app does not always work as anticipated.
In my app, I need to get the timedifference from when he starts
driving to the actual time.
This time is needed in order to calculate whether he will reach the
light when it is green, or if he needs to slow down in case the
current speed is too high.
I will appreciate any help that can guide me in the right direction to
identify the problem: is it due to Java and that it cannot control the
on-going queueing of GPS data? is it due to problems with HTC Hero and
Android 1.5; or is it something much more simple that causes my
problem. Please, send me your input.
I have inserted the most relevant parts of the code below which is
structurized as:
1) gpspos() is the function called when I want to start the routine
(the main app is launched before).
2) initial_time should contain the timesample from when I call the
routine. That is the reason why I set it to zero in the beginning and
then update it the first time the conditions distance_1 radius and
counter_L are fulfilled. These conditions are fulfilled when I call
gpspos().
3) time=location.getTime() is the GPS clock.
4) double spend_time_1_sec = (time - initial_time); determines the
time spend since I called gpspos().
Thank you for your time and helpCKLOCH
public void gpspos() {
super.onResume();
LocationManager locMgr = (LocationManager)

{
if (location != null)
{
double time = location.getTime()/1000;
double spend_time_1_sec = (time -
initial_time);

counter_L==1) // This is only true once when the routine gpspos() is
called

[android-beginners] Re: how to self-close an Activity
I have the same question. And even if they are done with it, I have another question: how do you suppose the user will react when he sees it auto-close? That is, do you really think the user expects this? I am not aware of any other app that does this, the user's expectation is based on these other apps, a de facto standard has emerged. That standard is: let the user close it. Ruby programmers like to talk about the principle of least surprise: the principle applies at least as well to UI design as it does to code.

my customers have requested auto-close. Its not actually closing an about-box, its on a things-are-progressing type pop-up window.

[android-beginners] Re: how to self-close an Activity
Also, if it is a things are progressing display rather than an About box, why aren't you using an android.Widget.ProgressBar instead? People are used to seeing a Progress Bar disappear when the underlying things are done. But they are not so used to About boxes (or things like them) disappearing. Besides: what is the point of making an entire Activity for this? Of course, since I don't know your app, I can't be 100% sure, but it does sound like overkill.

Oh yes, I forgot that I hit that one as well. For the people who find
this thread in the future, you can also not have underscores in the
xml name.

Not sure exactly what you mean here...
You should be able to access it via 'R.layout.Home'. If you are
talking about the popup window in Eclipse for autofill then you will
need to
rebuild your project (which will rebuild the R class) and then it
should
show up.

Hi,
Thanks for the explanation. It was very useful. I am trying to get 2
variables to store the lat/lon. Can we do that continuously? As in
have 3 variables. One each for current azimuth, Lat and lon. What
changes would we need to make in the code you provided here?
implementing LocationListener along with the this listener should do I
guess? But I tried and am unable to get both location and orientation
at the 'same time'.

Hi,
While trying to retrieve orientation data I found some pretty straight
forward code making use of SensorEventListener for
Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION and it works fine, but the
Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION constant has been deprecated recently - I
believe it was on 8 (API level) - which I understand to mean that
while I can still use it, I shouldn't.
The documentation [1] only says use SensorManager.getOrientation()
instead. [2] but as a newbie, I had difficulties following that
detailed instruction.
So the question is:
How to properly get device orientation data?
In an attempt to make this discussion constructive, here is what I
managed to figure out, hopefully it will attract corrections relevant
to my limitations and not just general pointers to material I already
read (and misunderstood) and perhaps also benefit other newbies
struggling with this task.
So please fix any misconceptions or errors you find below.
The most important thing to realize is that
SensorManager.getOrientation() doesn't get the orientation from the
sensors (as with SensorEvent for Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION), it merely
Computes the device's orientation based on the rotation matrix which
you must provide as the first parameter.
In a similar fashion SensorManager.getRotationMatrix() doesn't read
sensors data to produce the rotation matrix, it depends on you to
provide the data through the third and forth arguments (gravity,
geomagnetic), also note that the values of these arguments must be
within expected limits or the method will fail. This holds in
particular for the case where these are initialized to zeros, as this
will imply free fall for gravity and something even more disturbing
for geomagnetic.
Don't take my word on it look it up for yourself in the source [3],
for the Java end at list.
Once that was digested it appears the only way to get sensor data is
through registering a sensor event listener (I thought it would be
really nice if I could query the sensors's readings at will and that
what I naively assumed was done by the get methods in SensorManager,
could anyone comment why this is not made available?), then that data
may be used to calculate the orientation as outlined below:
1) Retrieve sensor data from accelerometer and magnetic field sensor
as required by getRotationMatrix():
This actually involves a number of steps in the Activity class:
1.1) Obtain a sensor manager.
NOTE: Context.getSystemService needs a Context, typically called
within an Activity's context.
mSensMan = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
1.2) Register a sensor event listener for each of the above sensor
types.
mSensMan.registerListener(this,
mSensMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
mSensMan.registerListener(this,
mSensMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER),
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
1.3) In the listener's onSensorChanged method copy the data from the
SensorEvent.values.
NOTE: The data must be copied off the event.values as the system is
reusing that array in all SensorEvents, simply assigning won't work.
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
switch (event.sensor.getType()) {
case Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER:
System.arraycopy(event.values, 0, mGravs, 0, 3);
break;
case Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD:
System.arraycopy(event.values, 0, mGeoMags, 0, 3);

It depends on what your aim is. If you want to make instances of
subclasses of views and layouts, you can do that my naming them in
layout files.
If you want something more general purpose, try JAXB.
Or you can roll your own with the XML parser in Android, and
reflection.

[android-beginners] Re: How to cleanly finish an activity? (activity timeouts prevent restarting an app)
You may be interested in reading a recent blog post by a Googler title When to Include an Exit Button in Android Apps (Hint: Never), http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2010/05/when-to-include-exit-button-in-android.html On May 26, 8:00 am, bb13 steveves...@comcast.net wrote: My app (as currently designed) offers the user a menu quit option that calls finish() on the activity, where I do saving and cleanup in the onPause and onDestroy methods. When initially downloaded to the emulator things run fine, but after quitting, when I go to the apps page and click on my app icon, I get a blank screen and an occasional notice that the activity is not responding. I have found a few postings of this same problem, but no good answers. My log shows that the finish() does cause on Pause then onStop then onDestroy to be called in sequence as expected. All successfully complete and return. But I still get an activity destroy timeout (and at the attempted restart, a launch timeout expired). The only thing non-trivial is a game thread, but the terminate and join with the UI thread in onDestroy seems to work just fine (I commented out all uses of just about everything else in Android, e.g. SoundPool, view Animation). I looked at the LunarLander example application. It stops differently (e.g. doesn't call finish(), terminates the game thread when the surface is destroyed), but it has similar although less repeatable problems (e.g. unexpected termination messages, destroy and launch timeout messages in the log, subsequent clicks on the app icon just open a black screen). Any suggestions?

Re: [android-beginners] Re: How often does an activity run?
Well, this seems like a good exercise to test my learning and reading as a newbie in the Android scene. If I'm understanding BobG correctly, he means that the calls to onDraw depend entirely on your application. Your *Hello World!* sample renders the text once and never has to render anything again -- the view stays put as you left it. It's a callback: when something happens (like user input), then onDraw() might be called if something new has to be drawn. A game, for example, might process game logic at each frame. This results in onDraw() being called for each frame, since game logic might place a game object in a position different from that it was in during the last frame. Hello World, as mentioned, doesn't need to be updated in that way. That's why onDraw() is not called anymore. With regards to the zombie sentiment, onDraw() does not actually take up any more memory than any other function might take; it is called when needed, I suspect, much like onCreate(), onStart(), onResume, onDestroy() do (these are methods involved in an activity's life cycle; check out the Android Application fundamentals page herehttp://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lcycles to see where I'm pulling these potentially wrong statements from). From what I've read, Android does things in a very, very, very modular manner; everything is there and safe until it's needed. I'm guessing that if you were to press Home or Back while *Hello World!*was running, then you brought it back to the foreground, it would call onDraw() again. If I'm wrong in anything I've said, please correct me! I hope that helps. -Danny On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 7:27 AM, BobG bobgard...@aol.com wrote: On Apr 19, 9:08 am, ~ TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know what you're asking.

[android-beginners] Re: How often does an activity run?
It is most definitely not a zombie process. A zombie process, by definition, is one not even the shell command 'kill' can kill. The process you just described is still able to receive events -- and will the next time the OS decides to call onDraw. It is Android that decides when to call onDraw(). However, you can tell it to do so by calling postInvalidate() or invalidate() as described in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html On Apr 18, 11:37 pm, BobG bobgard...@aol.com wrote: If we run a simple little hello world program that just puts some text in a textview, I see the the onCreate runs, and I guess it calls ondraw once, then it sort of returns to the os, and if we have registered a sensor changed or an onclick listener, we can read the sensor and call invalidate and the os will call ondraw again, and it all is usually 'fast enough'. But my question is: Does ondraw ever get called again? Or is this now a 'zombie process' that will just sit there taking up memory until we kill it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: How to get child Activity?
This might work, but it would require me to duplicate functional methods from activity 2 into the main activity, which is undesirable.

[android-beginners] Re: How to get child Activity?
Hi Kitzy. If you just click the button, the second activity should start in a state A. if you longpress the button, the activity should start in a state B and go to state A upon releasing the button (In fact, upon releasing the screen, since the button does not exists in the second activity), so i can't start it after release. Your second suggestion is actually what I managed to do as a workaround: I broadcast an intent whenever the first activity receives an event and the second activity has already been started (I set a flag after starting). It's not a beautiful code, but it's the best solution so far... I know it would be easy just not to use this kind of interaction, but this is the key feature of the app. On Apr 16, 1:48 am, Kitzy kitzyk...@gmail.com wrote: What if you start your activity after release?

Re: [android-beginners] Re: How to get child Activity?
Not sure how well it would work, but if you REALLY want to do something like this, you cold possibly try to just change the view of your current activity instead of starting a new activity. I wouldn't recommend it and I'm not sure if that will really work... There are lots of people who have problems trying to change the view of an activity and the solution is usually to create a new activity instead of changing the view. In your case, however, it might be worth it to look into... All that being said, I think you may want to look at re-designing the workflow of your app Hope that helps somewhat, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

[android-beginners] Re: How do I import to eclipse projects that come with the android source?
I've hit this issue as well. I don't know why it happens, but in addition to the first suggestion, I do the following so I can keep everything neatly in my Workspace folder 1) Copy the code you want somewhere else ie. copy android-source/apps/whatever home-dir/whatever 2) Create a new project using existing code 3) Once the project is created, right click on it and Refactor Move it into the Workspace folder. Maybe someone more familiar with Eclipse/Android SDK can tell us why it's like this, whether it's desired behaviour or not, but this seems to be the best workaround I've found so far. Hope it helps.

[android-beginners] Re: How can I find out if I read the GPS signal
The call to requestLocationUpdates is where you've got trouble. The
first argument should be the name of the provider sending you updates
(GPS or cell network). To get regular updates from GPS, you want
something like the following:
LocationManager locMgr = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener locListener = new LocationListener()
{
public voidonLocationChanged(Location location)
{
if (location != null)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
New location latitude [ +
location.getLatitude() +
] longitude [ +
location.getLongitude()+],
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
public voidonProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
}
public voidonProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
}
public voidonStatusChanged(String provider,
int status, Bundle extras)
{
}
};
locMgr.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
0,// minTime in ms
0,// minDistance in meters
locListener);
In other words, you setup a callback handler to receive the update
messages (locListener in this case), and you tell the LocationManager
to send updates to that callback. You can call getLastKnownLocation
with a provider name (like GPS_PROVIDER) but the value returned could
be null if there is no last known location. Note that the zeros in
that last call really should be reasonable values; I only use zeros as
part of a demonstration.
We cover this topic in our new book Pro Android 2 in chapter 7, and
go into much more detail on working with the location providers as
well as overlays and maps.

The reason is that the List providers remains empty.
Is there any way that I can extend my code, so I can understand why

I know I get a NullPointerException, but I don't know why as GPS is

I will really appreciate your help on how to get

Re: [android-beginners] Re: How to block incoming call in Android?
mute the ringer is not a solution at all.
According to my finding , there are two way of blocking incoming call:
1) using Phone Object
2) using AT command to modem
--- for first approach i am not able to get Phone object. We need to find
out how can we get Phone object using below function call:
mPhone = PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone();
I am able to build the project including above function call but while
executing the application i am getting below exception:
04-02 09:00:14.852: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(231): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.android.CMdroid/com.android.CMdroid.CMdroid}:
java.lang.RuntimeException: PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone must be called from
Looper thread.
Why Exception???
public static void makeDefaultPhone(Context context)
Looks like when native phone application create default phone using above
API, at same time PhoneFactory class store thread ID of Phone applicaton .
public static void makeDefaultPhone(Context context) {
synchronized(Phone.class) {
if (!sMadeDefaults) {
* sLooper = Looper.myLooper();*
sContext = context;
if (sLooper == null) {
throw new RuntimeException(
PhoneFactory.makeDefaultPhone must be called from
Looper thread);
}
When other application call getDefaultPhone() to get Phone object, in that
case getDefaultPhone checks for phone thread ID which is store in variable
called * sLooper*.
public static Phone getDefaultPhone() {
if (sLooper != Looper.myLooper()) {
throw new RuntimeException(
PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone must be called from Looper
thread);
}
This is the reason why we are getting exception when we call:
mPhone = PhoneFactory.getDefaultPhone();
--- For 2nd approach we need to know how to send call disconnect command to
modem using AT command.
*The ATResponseParser class parses part of the AT command syntax used*
*to**communicate with the mobile radio hardware in a mobile handset.
This
** is, in fact, a* * command syntax very much like the AT command syntax
used by modems, a ** standard* * described in the 3GPP document number TS

We need to find out how / what command pass to modem to disconnect the call.

You will have to rethink what you are trying to write, to determine how you can create it via Java code. Now, it may be that that Java code you execute uses an XML parser to read an XML file located in the app's files area, but implementing that is up to you.

[android-beginners] Re: How to call an intent of an installed application
To call APN_SETTINGS you would do something like the following: Intent test = new Intent(); test.setAction(android.settings.APN_SETTINGS); startActivity(test); I have only learnt one way to start other intents in my applications and that is by explicitly referencing the package name and class name. For example if my package was com.android.mypackage and my class was Called Super then I would start it with the following code Intent test = new Intent(); test.setClassName(com.android.mypackage,com.android.mypackage.Super); startActivity(test); No doubt there are better ways. You can also get results from Activities by calling startActivityForResult(intent, intentCode); In your Android manifest you can setup intents so other applications can call one of your applications as well although I do not know how to do this. I advise you take a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/intents/intents-filters.html http://developer.android.com/resources/faq/commontasks.html#opennewscreen Happy programming!

[android-beginners] Re: How to call an intent of an installed application
If that application has an action asociated with it's intent, you should use that: Example: Intent i = new Intent (com.abc.INTENT_ACTION); startActivity (i); If it doesn't have an action, you could try to call it with the package name and class, although I don't know if it will let you call it directly when it isn't your code: Intent i = new Intent (); i.addComponent (com.abc.packagename, com.abc.packagname.ClassName); startActivity (i); You should try to use the fisrt example if it isn't you code because the user might have a different activity they would prefer to use, eg. They may have a custom calendar or alarm installed they setup to use over the one which comes with the phone.

[android-beginners] Re: How can I catch a ring event?
Hi, In TelephonyManager there's a method called listen. If you provide that with a PhoneStateListener, you can use the callback method onCallStateChanged to listen to the events CALL_STATE_IDLE, CALL_STATE_RINGING and CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK. Good luck!

Hi Satish
Check this working for me:
public void launchEmailActivity(){
final Intent emailIntent = new
Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent .setType(plain/text);
emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new
String[]{});
emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
Test
Subject);
emailIntent .putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
Testing
email text);
this.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, Send

}

[android-beginners] Re: How to make a Widget start an app?
If you want to start an app and only start an app, you should just put
a shortcut to the app on your home screen. If its an individual
activity you wanted to start, you could do something similar to this:
public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager
appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds)
context.startActivity( new Intent(context,
yourActivity.class) );
}
Though i would suggest using shortcuts, its what they are designed for
and you dont have to write a widget!

This tutorial has the Widget start a service. What I then did is have the
service start an app. I'm not sure that widget's can directly launch an
application.
Hope that helps,

I have a very simple Widget taken from the book Hello, Android!
All it does is display the date and time. It works fine.
I want to make it respond to a 'click' and start the browser (or any
app for that matter).
I have spent absolutely ages researching how to do this and I can find
no examples on the web.
Can any one point me in the right direction, please.

[android-beginners] Re: How to make gap between two TextViews'?
Marco's right but here's another method you can explore: adding padding to your textview. Basically it's adding the gap inside the object instead of adding borders. Of course this will not work for you if the background colour of your linear layout and your textviews is different. -- Jay - Android blog for developers: http://www.devandro.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: How to style text in string array?
Hi Chris, If you want to do something more in line with HTML formatting, then use a WebView. You can either load the html directly into the webview, or load it from an html file packaged with your application. The html file should go in the assets folder. Hope this helps. - Mike On Feb 15, 6:49 am, Chrissshen chri...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I have a string array and was trying to style certain parts of the text with tags like b, i, ... but it doesn't work.
