[android-developers] progress dialog
I am having a little problem of using progress dialog. Trying to figure out how and the optimal way of using the progress dialog. My application needs to grab information from different servers, so I am trying to show the progress dialog at the appropriate moment. I am trying to use a gallery to grab different images. At the start of the activity, I will have a pop up that says loading, and then spin off a different thread to start retrieving images in the background and store the images in a bitmap array. And once I get the first few images, the thread would send a message to the activity to let it know that it can set up the adapter and start displaying the first few images. The user then can start flipping through different images. In the adapter getView method, I will check the bitmap array from the thread to see if the image in the specific position that the user is trying to view is loaded yet. If the bitmap array for the position is null then the adapter will send a message to the activity and asks the activity to display the progress dialog and at the same time the adapter will tell the thread that the user is trying to view the image at that specific position. Then the thread will then send a message to the activity to dismiss the progress dialog once the image of that specific position has been loaded. That's the general idea, but for some reason the message been sent from the adapter to the activity for showing the progress dialog is not working. I can see the message been send because the logging is been printed out in the message handler but the dialog is not showing up. Anyone has a clue? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Shares Preferences are not getting deleted
Hi Sudha, Thanks for your reply. Just now I came to my place. Before that I was in meeting. Hey, I have done one application. It will play a song(Airtel) if the SMS reached the mobile. Demerit : The user is not able to hear their favourite song. So I would like to allow the user to select a song from SD card then that song will be played whenever the SMS reaches the mobile\emulator. For this, I've modified my application. But activities happend in the following way, 1. SMS Reached Mobile. 2. Display the list of Song from SD card.(Using ListView) 3. Select the song automatically it will play. *FYI : I'll send the source code for above things.* But the above thing is not good know. Since, the user would like to select a song before SMS received not after they received SMS. So I would like to change it as follows, 1. Display a list of Songs 2. Select any one of song (I need to store that song using Shared Preferences) 3. Play the song whenever SMS reached the mobile(Here, I will get the name of song from the Preferences) For this, How I'll include shared preference U just send your application code \ tell the steps Thanks for your time!!! I'm waiting for your reply..So Please.. Thanks again!!!

[android-developers] Re: no callback to onItemClick() on clicking my ListView
Add some id or attribute to your Button which has the information about the List item - say the position or index of the list item. So when a button click is received, you not only get the button clicked but also the position in the list. Maybe this will help.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
As far as I understand, Google plans something like this for the future (maybe when paid apps start to become possible). For now the developer is left by themselves. We also initially copied an update checker routine in all of our OI applications, but this has 2 major drawbacks: 1) It requires each application to have the INTERNET permission, even though the app itself won't use it. 2) A lot of code is duplicated in the various applications. We have been developing OI Update, an open source update checker, which is ready to be released soon. We wrote it mainly for our own applications, but it is written generally enough to allow other applications to take advantage of it as well easily. Your application only needs to include a small meta-data in your manifest, and you need to keep a file on a server with update information (which can be compatible to VeeCheck; AndAppStore.com can generate that file on the fly). This inconvenience is necessary, because the Market does not provide version information to 3rd party applications (or at least I'm not aware of how to do it). All the rest is handled by OI Update. It checks every couple of days (as set by the user) for updates, and notifies the user. If the user wishes they are then directly forwarded to the Market where they can download the new version. I hope this could clarify a couple of points. Peli www.openintents.org On Nov 11, 3:48 pm, loty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm wondering about the same thing. All applications need to have a simple ability to notify users of new versions.

[android-developers] Re: Two Notifications
Maybe this helps: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Notification.html#number The number of events that this notification represents. For example, if this is the new mail notification, this would be the number of unread messages. This number is be superimposed over the icon in the status bar. If the number is 0 or negative, it is not shown in the status bar. The idea is to only show 1 notification, also when you slide down the screen, leaving the user with only 1 choice. But this 1 choice directs her to your application where you present a list of possible options (the ones you wanted to show in separate notifications in the first place).

[android-developers] Problem with Service Permission
Hi,
I am using 0.9 beta SDK.
I want to have a service defined within one application to be
invokable from another.
The application hosting the service has, in its manifest, the
following inside the application tag:
service android:name=.service.BackgroundService
android:process=:remote android:exported=true
android:permission=android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
intent-filter
action android:name=com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService /
/intent-filter
/service
It also has the following inside the manifest tag:
permission android:name=android.permission.BACKGROUND_SERVICE
android:protectionLevel=dangerous/
In my client application's manifest xml file, I have the following
inside manifest tag:
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE /
The client Activity code has the following API called from its
onCreate() method:
private void startBackgroundService()
{
mConnection = new ServiceConnection()
{
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder service)
{
Log.i(TAG, Connected to background service);
mService =
BackgroundService.Stub.asInterface(service);
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className)
{
mService = null;
Log.i(TAG, Background service disconnected);
}
};
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
startService(intent);
boolean result = bindService(intent, mConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
Log.i(TAG, Background service bind result: + result);
}
When I run the client Activity, it can not bind to the service:
- the log statement at the end has Background service bind result:
false.
- the onServiceConnected() method is not called
- There is a waring log from ActivityManager:
WARN/ActivityManager(58): Unable to start service Intent
{ comp={com.abc.xyz.client/com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }:
not found
I have tried running the same without any permission in the service
application manifest and also without the uses-permission tag in
client. The result was the same.
But when I run a similar client code inside my service application
(without specifying any permissions), it runs perfectly.
Finally, the most peculiar thing is happening when I am running this
client code inside my service application but with the permissions
specified (as written above) in the manifest - it runs with this error
at the statement startService(intent):
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service
Intent { comp={com.abc.xyz/com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }
without permission android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
Any hint on this will be highly appreciated. I'd also like to know
whether I can start and access the service from an ActivityGroup
outside the service application domain.
Thanks,
-Raktim.

setVolume(float leftVolume, float rightVolume)
Sets the volume on this player.

[android-developers] Re: progress dialog
At the start of your program, do requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS); Then when you want to display a rotating little circle in the title bar, do setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true); When updating or whatever is done, do setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false); Of course, you can use other types of progress bars in pretty much the same way. On Nov 11, 9:00 am, chouman82 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having a little problem of using progress dialog. Trying to figure out how and the optimal way of using the progress dialog. My application needs to grab information from different servers, so I am trying to show the progress dialog at the appropriate moment. I am trying to use a gallery to grab different images. At the start of the activity, I will have a pop up that says loading, and then spin off a different thread to start retrieving images in the background and store the images in a bitmap array. And once I get the first few images, the thread would send a message to the activity to let it know that it can set up the adapter and start displaying the first few images. The user then can start flipping through different images. In the adapter getView method, I will check the bitmap array from the thread to see if the image in the specific position that the user is trying to view is loaded yet. If the bitmap array for the position is null then the adapter will send a message to the activity and asks the activity to display the progress dialog and at the same time the adapter will tell the thread that the user is trying to view the image at that specific position. Then the thread will then send a message to the activity to dismiss the progress dialog once the image of that specific position has been loaded. That's the general idea, but for some reason the message been sent from the adapter to the activity for showing the progress dialog is not working. I can see the message been send because the logging is been printed out in the message handler but the dialog is not showing up.

thrown.

[android-developers] progress dialog
I am having a little problem of using progress dialog. Trying to figure out how and the optimal way of using the progress dialog. My application needs to grab information from different servers, so I am trying to show the progress dialog at the appropriate moment. I am trying to use a gallery to grab different images. At the start of the activity, I will have a pop up that says loading, and then spin off a different thread to start retrieving images in the background and store the images in a bitmap array. And once I get the first few images, the thread would send a message to the activity to let it know that it can set up the adapter and start displaying the first few images. The user then can start flipping through different images. In the adapter getView method, I will check the bitmap array from the thread to see if the image in the specific position that the user is trying to view is loaded yet. If the bitmap array for the position is null then the adapter will send a message to the activity and asks the activity to display the progress dialog and at the same time the adapter will tell the thread that the user is trying to view the image at that specific position. Then the thread will then send a message to the activity to dismiss the progress dialog once the image of that specific position has been loaded. That's the general idea, but for some reason the message been sent from the adapter to the activity for showing the progress dialog is not working. I can see the message been send because the logging is been printed out in the message handler but the dialog is not showing up.

So you click the icon, then you click the extended notification bar's one option, then you select an option. I found my way around it, my app removes the old notification and places a new one, so there's always one icon.

[android-developers] Re: Check for new version of applications
It would be cool if google added the ability to check your version against the market, but for the time being, I'm fine with using a version URL as you described. But I'm still fuzzy on one thing, is there an action available to launch the market app directly to your product page? Example: -user opens app -app checks update url finds new version exists -app presents dialog box - click ok to goto the Android Market -user clicks ok -new intent launches android market with your app's content_id Does anyone know if a simple solution like that currently exists, or do we just have to notify the user about the update, and tell them to goto the market? Also in regards to the OI Update app, is there a way to require it be installed as well, or would my app have to download and install it directly on it's first run? And would that even be possible if the user never checked off Allow Non-Market Apps?

On Nov 10, 6:12 pm, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: dreamerBoywrote: Thanks for the reply, Mark (I recognize the name - I read your book.) In the ACTION_CALL documentation, it states: Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the ACTION_DIAL. Whoever wrote that sounds like a politician - lots of room to maneuver there - Now, probably it will work, as there have been recent tutorials demonstrating that it works from an activity, but I could see where this might get locked down sometime in the future. Ahhh - I miss the good ole days when there was something called a SecurityPolicy that one could customize ... I am also wondering if there exists within the exposed Android API, a way to hang up a call in an automated fashion. No appropriate intents exist - it seems the only remaining possibility is calling finish() or finishActivity(ACTIVITY_ID) on the Activity used to place or answer the call. However, there is nothing in the docs which actually states that. If I can get past my currently difficulty, I will definitely test it. You could putter through the source code to see how the in-call application handles it. Again, whatever technique it uses is probably not for public consumption, your mileage may vary, do not taunt Happy Fun Android, etc. I thought that Android was supposed to be about empowering developers to create new breeds of applications. I'll be reconfiguring the program to see if I can get different results - perhaps I missed something simple in the Manifest. However, a NullPointerException really does merit some explanation. Well, hackbod took a guess, and her guesses are pretty damn good. According to my logCat readout - onCreate was already called a while back - time to drill in deeper I guess. I'm wondering why my attempt to install my own Instrumentation object doesn't appear to be working (at least, none of the lifecycle callbacks are talking to me). Is whatever Context represented by initiateCall real? For example, if initiateCall is some Activity you instantiated yourself as part of this automated , that may not be fully-formed (i.e., gone through the normal lifecycle) and therefore may not be able to start other activities. Yep, it's possible that I got my life cycle out of order .. working on that - I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, since you read my book and all ;-), Actually your book, Haseman's book (Android Essentials), Gramlich's book (Programming in Android), and DiMarzio's book (Programming in Android). but I'm not terribly hopeful you'll be able to place a call, initiated by some remote application, automatically, without user intervention. I could think of some quite useful applications that would utilize automated calling. Leave a voice or text message for a bunch o' people. Try to contact computer support or the IRS every 15 minutes - if someone actually picks up, then transfer the call to the user ... Yes, I suppose the latter capability could be used in a malicious way e.g., to stalk someone - however, there's something called a Previous Number Dialed button which can be used to do the same thing manually. Or, to put it another way, if it works, it'll scare the crap out of me, because there's all sorts of nasty things one can do with that technique.

[android-developers] Re: Does SoundPool work or has anyone successfully used it?
By default, the MediaPlayer volume should be set to 1.0, i.e. no
attenuation.
Which stream type are you using when you create the MediaPlayer? Have
you checked to make sure that the master stream volume is set
correctly?

The problem actually is that the volume is s silent on some files

Does anyone which values to choose, calling the following method on a
MediaPlayer:
--
setVolume(float leftVolume, float rightVolume)
Sets the volume on this player.

I was using 10, as that had been returned once from

I tried doing a wait() for 5 - then 30 seconds on the onCreate

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Service Permission
Thanks a lot for analyzing the problem.
First, my comment on your second point -
This I had already been doing - as in the client application's
manifest, the service application's manifest too has this entry under
the manifest tag:
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE /
Now coming to the first point, I changed the client code line from -
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
to
Intent intent = new Intent(com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService);
After the change, it seems the service is identified and the earlier
warning message -
Unable to start service Intent{ comp={com.abc.xyz.client/
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }:not found
is not coming.
But then the permission related SecurityException is coming at the
client statement startService(intent) as below:
- WARN/PackageManager(57): Not granting permission
android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE to package
com.abc.xyz.client (protectionLevel=3 flags=0x44)
- ERROR/AndroidRuntime(): ERROR: thread attach failed
- WARN/ActivityManager(57): Permission Denial: Accessing service
ComponentInfo{com.abc.xyz/com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} from

com.abc.xyz.client.ClientActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Not
allowed to start service Intent
{ action=com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService } without permission
android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
I think I am missing something with the declaration of permission in
the manifest(s). What is your opinion?
Thanks,
Raktim.

(without specifying any permissions), it runs perfectly.
Finally, the most peculiar thing is happening when I am running this

[android-developers] Re: Best approach to fullscreen video?
The following are for the T-Mobile G1, other Android devices will likely have different specs based on their hardware capabilities: H.264 AVC baseline, H.263, and MPEG4-SP codecs are supported in a 3GPP container file. H.264 AVC is also supported in an MP4 container. The H.264 AVC format is preferred due to support for h/w acceleration. Video size up to 480x320, with video bit rates up to 600K bps average. Make sure you disable b-frames (not supported in baseline). VideoView adjusts the surface size based on the reported aspect ratio from the video. If you want it to fill the display, make sure that the video aspect ratio matches the screen aspect ratio.

[android-developers] Re: Head-scratcher: NullPointerException from startActivity(ACTION_CALL)
Battle of the quotes, from: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Service.html Other application components running in the same process as the service (such as an Activity) can, of course, increase the importance of the overall process beyond just the importance of the service itself. This is like trying to interpret the Talmud or something... ;-) On Nov 10, 6:12 pm, Mark Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: dreamerBoywrote: Thanks for the reply, Mark (I recognize the name - I read your book.) Thanks! I am trying to place a call with the Activity that may - but need not, have any graphical UI aspect to it. Launching an Activity appears to be the only way to place a call in Android 1.0. If the thinking of the API is to disallow any calls being placed in an automated fashion, it seems to me that there would be no need for ACTION_CALL - only ACTION_DIAL. In the ACTION_CALL documentation, it states: Note: there will be restrictions on which applications can initiate a call; most applications should use the ACTION_DIAL. So even if you can get past the NullPointerException, you may still not be able to place the call. Now, probably it will work, as there have been recent tutorials demonstrating that it works from an activity, but I could see where this might get locked down sometime in the future. I am also wondering if there exists within the exposed Android API, a way to hang up a call in an automated fashion. No appropriate intents exist - it seems the only remaining possibility is calling finish() or finishActivity(ACTIVITY_ID) on the Activity used to place or answer the call. However, there is nothing in the docs which actually states that. If I can get past my currently difficulty, I will definitely test it. You could putter through the source code to see how the in-call application handles it. Again, whatever technique it uses is probably not for public consumption, your mileage may vary, do not taunt Happy Fun Android, etc. I'll be reconfiguring the program to see if I can get different results - perhaps I missed something simple in the Manifest. However, a NullPointerException really does merit some explanation. Well, hackbod took a guess, and her guesses are pretty damn good. Is whatever Context represented by initiateCall real? For example, if initiateCall is some Activity you instantiated yourself as part of this automated , that may not be fully-formed (i.e., gone through the normal lifecycle) and therefore may not be able to start other activities. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, since you read my book and all ;-), but I'm not terribly hopeful you'll be able to place a call, initiated by some remote application, automatically, without user intervention. Or, to put it another way, if it works, it'll scare the crap out of me, because there's all sorts of nasty things one can do with that technique. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.4 Published! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The Service:

all right, answering my own question again.
i figured out how to achieve that effect, adjust the matrix and the

txtPaint = new Paint();
txtPaint.setColor(Color.GRAY);
txtPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
txtPaint.setTextSize(25);
shader = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 200, 0,
new int[]{Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120),
Color.argb(255, 120, 120, 120), Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255)}, new
float[]{0, 0.7f, 1}, TileMode.MIRROR);
txtPaint.setShader(shader);
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
float elapsed = (now - lastTime)/7;
dx+= elapsed;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setTranslate(dx, 0);
shader.setLocalMatrix(matrix);
canvas.drawText(Text mask effect, 0, 25, txtPaint);

By default: Anyone: No Console: No Active Console: Yes I had to subsequently reboot my machine (restarting haldaemon caused hal to give weird errors when the phone was plugged in, but after a reboot everything was fine.)

Additionally, removing the USB plug and plugging it in again causes the SD card to get mounted as an external drive, and the HAL rule above doesn't work the second time (i.e. the node is just owned by root, no ACLs, and has 644 perms).

[android-developers] Re: no callback to onItemClick() on clicking my ListView
Hi Sunit, To get the position/index of the item on which its button is clicked is not hard. It is just equal to the final position parameter passed to getView(). So placing the parameter in onClicked callback of the button gets it done. On Nov 11, 8:16 am, Sunit Katkar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Add some id or attribute to your Button which has the information about the List item - say the position or index of the list item. So when a button click is received, you not only get the button clicked but also the position in the list. Maybe this will help.

{
Toast.makeText(context, OneShotAlarm Broadcast invoked,

The Service:
public class ServiceClassToRun extends Service {

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Service Permission
Be sure you install the .apk providing the permission before the one
using it. You can see what permissions your app has been granted by
digging through the output of adb shell dumpsys package.
Also PLEASE DO NOT use the name android.permission. The namespaces
android.* and com.android.* are reserved for the android platforms,
and applications MUST NOT USE THEM.

Thanks a lot for analyzing the problem.
First, my comment on your second point -
This I had already been doing - as in the client application's
manifest, the service application's manifest too has this entry under
the manifest tag:
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE /
Now coming to the first point, I changed the client code line from -
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
to
Intent intent = new Intent(com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService);
After the change, it seems the service is identified and the earlier
warning message -
Unable to start service Intent{ comp={com.abc.xyz.client/
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }:not found
is not coming.
But then the permission related SecurityException is coming at the

You can get the size of the usable area by asking your activity's top- level view (typically a layout object) for its width and height. Make sure your XML file defines an ID for it, then use getViewById to get the view. That width and height will be the screen size less the status bar and title bar (if present), and will vary depending on the device orientation. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: problem obtaining android source from windows/cygwin
Just so that we have a trace in the group archives... The instructions at http://source.android.com/download should work on MacOS and linux, which are the supported environments. Under Windows, which is not a supported environment, you're indeed on your own. Also, you should note that, without using repo (which requires MacOS or linux), you will not be able to contribute changes back to the Android Open Source Project. Some people have reported success using repo in a VMWare environment running linux, hosted on Windows. (Finally, this thread would probably fit better in android-platform or maybe repo-discuss, so that android-developers can remain focused on discussion topics that primarily target application developers using the SDK).

[android-developers] Re: progress dialog
Hi Christine, Thanks for your help. That seems to only work in the initial loading screen. How do I go about doing the same when the user scroll to an image that I am still loading and then show the loading progress bar. Is there an example somewhere that i can follow? thanks On Nov 11, 4:45 am, Christine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At the start of your program, do requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS); Then when you want to display a rotating little circle in the title bar, do setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true); When updating or whatever is done, do setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false); Of course, you can use other types of progress bars in pretty much the same way. On Nov 11, 9:00 am, chouman82 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having a little problem of using progress dialog. Trying to figure out how and the optimal way of using the progress dialog. My application needs to grab information from different servers, so I am trying to show the progress dialog at the appropriate moment. I am trying to use a gallery to grab different images. At the start of the activity, I will have a pop up that says loading, and then spin off a different thread to start retrieving images in the background and store the images in a bitmap array. And once I get the first few images, the thread would send a message to the activity to let it know that it can set up the adapter and start displaying the first few images. The user then can start flipping through different images. In the adapter getView method, I will check the bitmap array from the thread to see if the image in the specific position that the user is trying to view is loaded yet. If the bitmap array for the position is null then the adapter will send a message to the activity and asks the activity to display the progress dialog and at the same time the adapter will tell the thread that the user is trying to view the image at that specific position. Then the thread will then send a message to the activity to dismiss the progress dialog once the image of that specific position has been loaded. That's the general idea, but for some reason the message been sent from the adapter to the activity for showing the progress dialog is not working. I can see the message been send because the logging is been printed out in the message handler but the dialog is not showing up.
