From the G1 browser downloaded the file and it went through the permissions screen and then I finally hit install. Comes back with a install unsuccessful message.

If your problem is to display Chinese fonts correctly in Eclipse, you probably have the encoding set incorrectly for Eclipse.

I use UTF-8. You can also set the default encoding for a project by going to its properties. As your fonts display correctly in the Emulator, your compilation process etc seem fine.

[android-developers] Re: Change from screen to screen doesn't work.
I do not think that you have given enough information for anyone to really help you. Navigating via intents is the primary (only?) way of moving from screen to screen in Android, so you can safely assume that this works. Looking at the log output in DDMS and the stack-trace in the debugger (plus the information in the exception that is likely being thrown somewhere) might give you an idea what you have done wrong. A good start might be just looking at the examples in the samples/ApiDemos directory of the SDK installation and have a look how it is done there. Ludwig 2008/10/20 sush [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I am trying to execute an Android application which will create a new activity (that will open a new UI screen) on a button click. I have stated the new activity as an intent in the main class and added it in the androidmanifest file as another activity. But when I execute this application I get an error in the emulator saying the application has stopped unxpectedly. Please help in this if there are some other way to navigate from one screen to another.

2008/9/8 maennel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
I am trying to connect with Android to a server which I develop
myself. Now it should be possible to connect to that server using an
encrypted connection (namely HTTPS).
As I do not use this application in a commercial way I don't want to
invest money to buy a real certificate. So, I try to test the system
using a test certificate from thawte on server side.
What happens:
Because the CA that signed this test certificate is not stored on
Android, it simply rejects the certificate and does not connect to the
server by stopping the handshake procedure by a TCP-Fin-Ack. I tried
to connect to other, public secured servers and there the connection
is established without any problem (tests done with HttpClient and
HttpMethod).
Is there any possibility to add the two certificates (test
intermediate CA test root CA) to the Android keystore in order to
have an effect as if the certificate I use was a real one?
Or does anybody knows if there are other possibilities to connect to
test servers?
Thank you for responding,
maennel

[android-developers] Re: Implementing collision detection (Game)
Something like that. Play around with it and I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work. Here's how I do mine: When initializing the game/map, I load the map resource and draw it onto a bitmap. My Main Loop: update() draw() My update method does: updatePhysics (moves players, checks collisions) updateAI (figures out next move for AI players) updateState (for state transitions) updateAnimations updateSound My draw method does: draws background/map bitmap to surface canvas draws objects or anything under the players to canvas draws players to surface canvas draws FX, explosions, etc over players to surface canvas draws scores, text or anything on the very top to surface canvas I've been very careful to write efficient math for physics, AI and collisions. I also was careful so as to draw the absolute minimum as 2d drawing is a little expensive in android. Overall I get a framerate around 40-45 FPS on my emulator. Also - if you're not already, use a SurfaceView. On Oct 19, 6:37 pm, mscwd01 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your reply, So just to recap...

[android-developers] Re: Implementing collision detection (Game)
Thanks for the update... I believe I am using a SurfaceView, I edited the LunarLander game which has things like SurfaceHolders I am making use of. I use a simple Canvas and draw onto it in much the same way you described, i.e. base images first then draw another image on top. I was just wondering whether Android had a layer manager much like J2ME does in the GameCanvas class. Anyway thanks for your help, I believe I can implement the game now. Oh, one last question - why does my game run faster when the emulator is in a portrait orientation? When I switch to landscape the game slows by at least 20 FPS. Is this normal?

[android-developers] (Multiple) Shape drawing with XML
Hi all, I have been experimenting shape drawing through AIDL. My question is if it is possible to draw shapes inside shapes. This would be nice to create some more advanced button forms (adding lightning effects and that kind of stuff). I did some experiments but was unable to create the desired effect. I add this to res/drawables: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? layer-list xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:shape=rectangle stroke android:width=1dip android:color=#FBBB / solid android:color=#6000/ layout_margin android:layout_margin=1dp/ corners android:bottomRightRadius=18dip android:bottomLeftRadius=6dip android:topLeftRadius=6dip android:topRightRadius=6dip/ /shape shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:shape=rectangle layout_margin android:layout_margin=1dp/ gradient android:angle=270 android:startColor=#6000 android:endColor=#6fff / padding android:left=10dp android:top=10dp android:right=10dp android:bottom=10dp / /shape /item /layer-list and then I set this drawable as the background of a textView. But the shapes end up completely overlapped. The padding on the second shape does not produce any effect. Is it possible to make the second shape only fill a subarea of the first shape. How to do so?

[android-developers] Re: Tips for Orientation
I don't know what you mean by turn the view. When the orientation changes to switch from the dominant to secondary orientation (portrait to landscape on the g1), the graphics of the entire screen are rotated to result in the screen being shown in the new orientation. As such, there is no need to do anything yourself, at it looks like to the application is that the size of the screen has changed to match the new orientation.

[android-developers] (Multiple) Shape drawing with XML
Hi all, I have been experimenting shape drawing through AIDL. My question is if it is possible to draw shapes inside shapes. This would be nice to create some more advanced button forms (adding lightning effects and that kind of stuff). I did some experiments but was unable to create the desired effect. I add this to res/drawables: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? layer-list xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:shape=rectangle stroke android:width=1dip android:color=#FBBB / solid android:color=#6000/ layout_margin android:layout_margin=1dp/ corners android:bottomRightRadius=18dip android:bottomLeftRadius=6dip android:topLeftRadius=6dip android:topRightRadius=6dip/ /shape /item shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:shape=rectangle layout_margin android:layout_margin=1dp/ gradient android:angle=270 android:startColor=#6000 android:endColor=#6fff / padding android:left=10dp android:top=10dp android:right=10dp android:bottom=10dp / /shape /item /layer-list and then I set this drawable as the background of a textView. But the shapes end up completely overlapped. The padding on the second shape does not produce any effect. Is it possible to make the second shape only fill a subarea of the first shape. How to do so?

On Oct 20, 1:18 am, Zen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. How to make a background process, like a service? Use the Service class. 2. Will I need to set to phone power always on to make this work? You can use wake locks with the PowerManager to control when the CPU is running. 3. If the phone goes to sleep mode, will the gps position changing event wake it up? I guess only if the gps chip has a interrupt you can set to... The GPS position is changing (slightly) all of the time, so no it won't wake up the phone just for that. You need to be really, really careful about how you do this in the background so you don't kill the user's device. First, if you are going to continually monitor the GPS... don't. You can expect battery life of 5 hours or less if you do that. So you need to set the AlarmManager to wake you up at some slow interval (not less than every 10 seconds) at which point you sample the current position and go back to sleep. You'll want to play around with this on a real device to tune it to have good performance, and definitely want to let the user know this is happening and allow them to stop your background monitoring. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Implementing collision detection (Game)
Thoughts on why you are seeing slowdown: 1) Perhaps you don't have save/restore state implemented correctly and the OS is starting a second instance of your game when you switch perspectives? (the 2 running at once theory) 2) Perhaps you are drawing more somehow in landscape? 3) Perhaps you are resizing a portrait background into landscape every frame? (This is the one I'd look at first. Make sure you are drawing bitmaps 1-to-1 and not stretching or resizing every frame. If you are going to need to rotate, resize, etc use a Transform, but make sure not to do anything computationally intensive frame-by-frame unless you have to - EG if you need to scale your background to fit the new orientation, do that _once_ onto a new canvas/bitmap and redraw that bitmap onto the surface.

I was just wondering whether Android had a layer manager much like J2ME does in the GameCanvas class. Anyway thanks for your help, I believe I can implement the game now.

Here's how I do mine: When initializing the game/map, I load the map resource and draw it onto a bitmap. My Main Loop: update() draw() My update method does: updatePhysics (moves players, checks collisions) updateAI (figures out next move for AI players) updateState (for state transitions) updateAnimations updateSound My draw method does: draws background/map bitmap to surface canvas draws objects or anything under the players to canvas draws players to surface canvas draws FX, explosions, etc over players to surface canvas draws scores, text or anything on the very top to surface canvas I've been very careful to write efficient math for physics, AI and collisions. I also was careful so as to draw the absolute minimum as 2d drawing is a little expensive in android. Overall I get a framerate around 40-45 FPS on my emulator.

I draw the main maze png background image and then have another image I draw on top of this which is fully transparent apart from lines of non transparent pixels which represent the maze walls. That sounds nice and easy. To make this work I'd need to find out the center point (coordinates) of the screen, determine which coordinates the playing piece current fills (i.e. y,x,y+10,x+10) and then check to see whether any of these pixels are also occupied by the mask walls layer. Could you let me know the best way to implement multiples layers, i.e. the maze background image, the mask walls image and the playing piece. Also could you let me know how you retrieve a section of pixels from an image, so I can determine whether the mask layer for example has walls in a section occupied by the playing piece. Many thanks!

If you used tiles, the collision detection is very easy. If the next move will cause the player to enter the tile, game over. If you drew the walls on a full coordinate system, you have to keep the coordinates that you used in an array or list or wherever and write a little algorithm that checks to see if the position of the player on the next tick will intersect with a wall. I used the second method for my game and it works very well. I just wrote all this then reread and saw that you used a png background. Here's what you can do to use that: Create a second background that is only black and white and masks the png background you have. Load both but of course only draw your normal one. Load the mask into a bitmap and for collision detection, just call bitmap.getPixel() for the next position of your player. If it's the wall color (let's say you use white for walls), there is a collision.

[android-developers] Re: What is callback function to catch text entered into search box
Billsen - When the user enters the search UI and types enter or clicks the search button, the ACTION_SEARCH intent will be sent. At least one activity within your application must be configured (using an intent-filter) to receive and handle this Intent. For more information, please see: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/SearchManager.html http://code.google.com/android/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/ Hope this helps. --Andy On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 1:20 PM, Billsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, I tried to find a callback function that could catch text entered in search box, but could not find it.

No I didn't. However, would that be root cause, since it actually went through the permissions approval screen and started to install.

[android-developers] Disappearing Zoom Controls
I have added ZoomControls to a MapView using addView(). When my activity loads the controls appear briefly but then disappear, never to be seen again. There only seems to be one discussion on this group but it didn't explicitly address this issue. Can anyone explain why this happens, and how it can be avoided so the controls persist? Also, is the mechanism that causes this documented anywhere (so for example, the delay to disappearance could be controlled)? There's nothing mentioned in the ZoomControls docs or its super-classes (that I've found) I've been going round in circles for more than a day on this with no success. Thanks!

There only seems to be one discussion on this group but it didn't explicitly address this issue. Can anyone explain why this happens, and how it can be avoided so the controls persist? Since we can't see your code, it's a little tough to answer your question. So let me tell you what works for me: 1. Put something in your layout for the zoom controls: RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id=@+id/map android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent android:apiKey=NooYawk android:clickable=true / LinearLayout android:id=@+id/zoom android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_alignParentBottom=true android:layout_alignParentLeft=true / /RelativeLayout 2. Add the actual zoom controls to your container: ViewGroup zoom=(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.zoom); zoom.addView(map.getZoomControls()); When I click in the area for the zoom controls (lower left in the example shown above), the controls appear for ~2 seconds, or ~2 seconds after I last interact with them (if I'm actually working the controls). And they reappear the same way. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hi, this is a very simplistic question, however, after struggling for an hour I've decided to ask here. Basically, I have a login form composed of a Relative Layout, some Text Fields and Buttons. I would like to add an ImageView and position it in the middle of the width with margin of the top of 20 px. The positioning has to be constant so that when the screen is rotated the Image remains in the middle of the screen's width and 20 px off the top. Any suggestions how to achieve that?

[android-developers] Re: Disappearing Zoom Controls
Thanks for the response Mark. I hadn't made the map clickable so had no way to return the controls. Fixing that solved the problem. It still seems a bit odd that the behaviour is neither configurable nor documented. Oh well - I suppose I could always design my own controls if needed. Thanks again!

When my activity loads the controls appear briefly but then disappear, never to be seen again. There only seems to be one discussion on this group but it didn't explicitly address this issue. Can anyone explain why this happens, and how it can be avoided so the controls persist? Since we can't see your code, it's a little tough to answer your question. So let me tell you what works for me: 1. Put something in your layout for the zoom controls: RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id=@+id/map android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent android:apiKey=NooYawk android:clickable=true / LinearLayout android:id=@+id/zoom android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_alignParentBottom=true android:layout_alignParentLeft=true / /RelativeLayout 2. Add the actual zoom controls to your container: ViewGroup zoom=(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.zoom); zoom.addView(map.getZoomControls()); When I click in the area for the zoom controls (lower left in the example shown above), the controls appear for ~2 seconds, or ~2 seconds after I last interact with them (if I'm actually working the controls). And they reappear the same way. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Not Android-specific; perhaps System.currentTimeMillis() delivers for you.

[android-developers] Re: Browser based installation fails on G1
Actually, the mime-type did the trick. Thanks Mark. On Oct 20, 4:35 pm, InC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No I didn't. However, would that be root cause, since it actually went through the permissions approval screen and started to install. I'm assuming if it hadn't read the manifest file, it would have failed even before that step. Anyway I'll configure the mime-type on the webserver and give it a shot.

[android-developers] Re: Apps for Democracy Contest $20,000 in Prizes
I can see how this would be percieved as being spec work - though for it to be spec work that would imply that there would be a 'full budget' outside of this to pay for this kind of development. There isn't. The contest is structured to support the DC tech community and beyond...it's the first time The District's CTO is opening up to letting individuals and small companies provide solutions to their big challenges in an open manner rather than issuing a multimillion dollar contact to a big contractor like IBM or Lockheed or something. The last point I'd add is that this is about 'saving our own money'...we pay taxes and those taxes are unwisely spent by the government in paying way to much for crappy IT projects...so if we as a community of developers in DC (or outside of it) can provide a better way to get things like this done...is this 'spec work'? No. It's a better way of innovating for .gov and a great way for .gov to support tech communities.

Two quick possible errors here:
1. was CustomerAddEdit added to the manifest as an activity?
2. if createCustomer() is called inside a button click new
Intent(this, .. might be referencing the button listener. Try new
Intent(MyForm.this, .. instead.

[android-developers] How do I update my activity on receiving intent in BroadcastReceiver
HI ,
I'm trying the understand how an application can receive intent in
BroadcastReceiver how it can inform the Activity abt the information
received in the intent.
For this purpose I have created an activity which has a TextView. In
OnCreate of the Activity I'm using AlarmManager to start sending
intents every 10 sec to broadcast receiver of my application. On
receiving this intent I would like to update the text view with the
current time.
From the documention I understand that we need to be using the
NotificationManager instead of trying to directly updating the UI.
Can some one pls let me know how I can achieve this.
Code snippets:
public class myFaves extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mCurrentTime = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.curtime_label);
startUpdatingCurrentTime();
}
protected void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
cancelUpdatingCurrentTime();
}
private void startUpdatingCurrentTime()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(MyTimer.this, MyTimerReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MyTimer.this, 0,
intent, 0);
// We want the alarm to go off every second from now.
long firstTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
firstTime += 1;
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, firstTime,
1, sender);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
mCurrentTime.setText( calendar.getTime().toString());
}
public void cancelUpdatingCurrentTime()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(MyTimer.this, MyTimerReceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(MyTimer.this, 0,
intent, 0);
// And cancel the alarm.
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.cancel(sender);
}
}
public class MyTimerReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
protected static final String LOG_TAG = MyTimer;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, onReceive);
// How do I update the TextView with
current time in my activity?
}
}
