[android-developers] Re: Problem with sound on Notifications on Emulator
The API Demos has examples. Checkout StatusBarNotifications and
NotifyingService.
For your example
Vibrating:
// if vibrate on- after a 100ms delay, vibrate for 200ms, pause for
150
// ms and then vibrate for 500ms.
notification.vibrate = new long[] { 100,200,150, 500 };
if you are not particular about playing your sound,
soundUri = content://settings/system/notification_sound
notification.sound = soundUri;
You can use the following to just use default vibration and sounds.
notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL
I haven't noticed in logcat any messages for Vibrate, but it works on
the device.
Cheers,
Chander

[android-developers] Re: Touch screen response delay
I figured out what was causing my particular problem. Both the method that draws the SurfaceView and the method that handles the touch events were synchronized with the same object. I'm guessing the delays were caused because the touch event handler method couldn't access this object while the drawing method was running... which was just about all the time. To resolve the problem, all I had to do was remove the synchronization from the touch event handler method and modify my drawing method so that it accessed the camera's location only once (which I would have done in the first place had I been writing efficient code). I'm feeling pretty dumb for missing that... but thank you nonetheless for your helpful responses! They definitely got me thinking toward the solution.

On Feb 6, 7:03 pm, Zombies and Robots caecus...@gmail.com wrote: Hello. I am working on a game that displays its graphics through a modified SurfaceView. The game scrolls around a map based on the location of the main character. That all works fine. I am trying to add a feature to the game that allows you to touch the screen and drag the camera around to see other parts of the map. This is where I am running into trouble. The game's SurfaceView overrides 'public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)' to call another method in the game's thread which handles the events. Sometimes, this works fine (although the frame rate drops significantly while the screen is touched). Other times, there will be a delay of several seconds before the game responds to a touch event, during which time the game continues, but the user loses all control. During these delays, a message sometimes appears stating that my activity is not responding, and giving the options to 'Force close' or 'Wait'. If the user selects 'Wait', the game almost always resumes right away, but these delays are obviously not acceptable. The delays occur only the first time the screen is touched after the game is started. Once the game has resumed after a delay, the touch events work just fine again. I have experimented with having the game thread sleep for short periods at various points throughout the game. Although this does seem to have a small effect on the problem, the delays still happen. Has anyone else run into this? What am I doing wrong?

[android-developers] If i use the internet in my app, how long does it stay connected?
Hi, sorry for asking some questions that might seem stupid to some - i don't have a G1, only the emulator: if in an app i use let's say HttpUrlConnection to send some stuff to a server, and then i don't need it any more (basically i don't use it anymore): 1) Does Android know i'm needing the internet, and will it connect? (or do i need to do something special?) 2) If i don't use it anymore, is there a timeout after which it will disconnect? I don't want the user to remain connected if it's my app that created the connection...

[android-developers] Re: SlidingDrawer not working with RC33
I'd rather trust the developers to do the right thing. That's probably how Microsoft felt about Windows developers before the first virus came along. With APK API checking at point of distribution (AndAppStore, Market, SlideME, etc.), we could cover most user installs. I fully agree that installing from a developers site bypasses this, but once of the value add features distribution channels could add is ensuring that apks are future-proofed in terms of APIs. Al.

I'm not sure if it should be part of the sdk. any app created with the sdk already would pass this check. It should more be a tool built into the normal make process so you get warnings like you get right now if you change the api. Additionally it could notify the developer and maybe show him a link with FAQs about internal api usage, or jni, or whatever evil was detected in the app. On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Al Sutton a...@funkyandroid.com wrote: Looks like we're on the same page :).

I agree it's not necessary if you're building apps with the SDK, but I see it's primary usage as being by developers wanting to check an apks' compliance level and its' results would be firmly tied to the android version and thus the SDK version, so an API checker from the 1.0 SDK may generate errors for cupcake apps, but an API checker from the cupcake SDK would pass them.

[android-developers] Re: SlidingDrawer not working with RC33
Dianne, In this particular case, the SlidingDrawer class is not private, it is public but it is in the package com.android.internal.widget package. This .internal. (and the lack of official documentation on it) is the only clue you get that this class is probably not intended to be used directly. (I come from the world of Windows Mobile development where it is to a large degree a custom to rely on some undocumented APIs to do what you want to do, so that made me take that gamble, which in my case did not pay of) I actually did something similar to what you suggest - as my app was already built around it - I end up creating my own implementation for the SlidingDrawer - this way I know it will work with RC30, RC33 and probably Cupcake. I have to admit, the fact that the Android is an open source OS and we have at all access the the source code to learn and diagnose issues, is like a breath of fresh air after having to deal for many years in the proprietary Windows world. My only suggestion is that at least for the official releases RC30, RC33 etc. that are being pushed to the end users - give us a way to find what has changed in the APIs and what bugs have been fixed. I simple change list will do, or an API checking tool or whatever other means that you can think of. On Feb 7, 10:48 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: When a new SDK is posted, there is a complete API diff and overview of the changes. However, there is very little change to the platform APIs in 1.1, so there isn't much to say about this one. I'm not sure when an SDK for it will be available. Also, out of curiosity, how did you go about using the private class? If you are actually using the SDK, you shouldn't be able to use any of the private classes, just to protect people from accidentally using things that will break on them. Finally, if there is a class like this in the internal implementation that you really want to use, just copy it out and build the copy in to your own code. That way your code won't break when the system changes.

OK. I found it faster than I thought or I would have waited to make that last reply.

This is actually where I saw the call to setDataPosition(0), in the android.os.Bundle source. 2.) call parcel.setDataPosition(0); -- call right before your creator call. This is the flip of Parcel.

Instead of each app having to use an AlarmManager, a WakeLock and its own network availability checking / auto-retry, wouldn't it make sense to provide an API that would do that work? Also, if you have a lot of apps on your device with background checks, they run on different schedules and wake the device up more frequently than if they'd run on a synchronized schedule. Ideally, I'd imagine this service scheduler to provide the following: * Application can register and unregister service intents for a certain schedule. * Provide schedules an app can register for. These could be constant such as a frequent schedule (every 10mins) and a less frequent one (every 60mins), or maybe user configurable. * Apps can specify a network filter, i.e. only run when connected via wifi, 3g, 2g... * Services would signal to the scheduler when they're done, possibly with an error code such that the scheduler could retry automatically out of the ordinary schedule. * Provide a UI for users to change schedules, unregister services, etc. * Define and require permissions for schedules such that users could see how much battery drainage an app is causing. I really think this would be quite useful for developers and users likewise. This central service scheduler could be part of the platform/SDK or it could be a user APK, much like some of the OI components already available. Any thoughts?

[android-developers] Re: SlidingDrawer not working with RC33
Building apps with the SDK is apparently NOT enough to insure API compliance as the example with the SlidingDrawer showed - the app was build with the latest SDK 1.0 r2 and without using reflection or any other funky access. I firmly believe that we as developers, have the most vested interest for our apps to work on the widest possible range of API versions and device types (Just wait until Android gets a candy bar style models where users rely mostly keyboard for navigation. How many of the apps available today will still work flawlessly?). If you put lots of time and effort to write your app, you want to ensure that you did not do (unknowingly) anything stupid to limit its use. Even more you want to find as soon as possible all stupid things you did and fix them before they hit the end user. I am sure we all test our apps on the emulator and the G1 device we have, but can you be absolutely sure it will work flawlessly on the next release (RC33.. Cupcake...)? One other example I noticed - the text on the tab buttons - in RC30 if it is longer - it wraps, in RC33 - the same text is displayed in a marquee). Is this an API change? While the tab text is probably not significant issue, it points that you really don't know about it until you get the RC33 and realize that your UI may be a bit off here and there. The truth is API changes happen - sometimes they are big and obvious, sometimes small and less obvious. In my opinion the smart thing to do is to give developers the information and tools to react to the changes and update our applications as soon as possible. There is probably a complementary set of tools that can help us with that: API change list, API Checking tool, Emulator images for RC30, RC33 Cupcake etc - are all ways that we can use proactively before the new platform changes are pushed to the public.

[android-developers] Re: Technique for displaying different options menus
Hi, I am doing this using the following method:
- Declare int constants which will be unique to each button
- After initializing button variables via findViewById, use
View#setTag to set the unique ID to that button, and the
onClickListener to 'this'
- Declare another int variable which will hold the current state
(mState in the example below)
- Implement the OnClickListener method in the following way:
Integer id = (Integer) view.getTag();
mState = id;
switch (id) {
case BUTTON_1:
//do stuff
break;
case BUTTON_2:
//do more stuff
break;
}
- Create the menu as normal in onCreateMenuOptions
- In onPrepareMenuOptions (which is called each time the menu will be
shown), do something like this:
switch (mState) {
case BUTTON_1:
//hide/show certain menu groups/items
break;
//etc, etc
}
Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: Technique for displaying different options menus
Hi, I am doing this using the following method:
- Declare int constants which will be unique to each button
- After initializing button variables via findViewById, use
View#setTag to set the unique ID to that button, and the
onClickListener to 'this'
- Declare another int variable which will hold the current state
(mState in the example below)
- Implement the OnClickListener method in the following way:
Integer id = (Integer) view.getTag();
mState = id;
switch (id) {
case BUTTON_1:
//do stuff
break;
case BUTTON_2:
//do more stuff
break;
}
- Create the menu as normal in onCreateMenuOptions
- In onPrepareMenuOptions (which is called each time the menu will be
shown), do something like this:
switch (mState) {
case BUTTON_1:
//hide/show certain menu groups/items
break;
//etc, etc
}
Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: Assisted GPS
With AGPS the GPS unit is informed of the latest positions of the satellites from a website (or something). This allows the GPS to get a fix quicker than if it would not know the latest positions of the satellites. So when using AGPS you get a fix more quickly than without.

[android-developers] Re: SlidingDrawer not working with RC33
A private API does not necessarily mean the class or method has the private Java keyword on it. Actually there are many Java-public classes and methods that are part of the private APIs. Normally these are stripped from the SDK. I don't know why the internal package is still in the SDK but indeed, the internal name of the package is a good indication that this is not a public API. Again there is no need for an API checking tool in the SDK because the SDK itself *is* the API checking tool. Apparently we just let a few things slip and we need to fix them. We also perfectly agree that you should get a detailed changelog with the new SDK. Such a changelog should NOT, however, include changes about anything private and/or internal. On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 4:52 AM, Stefan skyntc...@gmail.com wrote: Dianne, In this particular case, the SlidingDrawer class is not private, it is public but it is in the package com.android.internal.widget package. This .internal. (and the lack of official documentation on it) is the only clue you get that this class is probably not intended to be used directly. (I come from the world of Windows Mobile development where it is to a large degree a custom to rely on some undocumented APIs to do what you want to do, so that made me take that gamble, which in my case did not pay of) I actually did something similar to what you suggest - as my app was already built around it - I end up creating my own implementation for the SlidingDrawer - this way I know it will work with RC30, RC33 and probably Cupcake. I have to admit, the fact that the Android is an open source OS and we have at all access the the source code to learn and diagnose issues, is like a breath of fresh air after having to deal for many years in the proprietary Windows world. My only suggestion is that at least for the official releases RC30, RC33 etc. that are being pushed to the end users - give us a way to find what has changed in the APIs and what bugs have been fixed. I simple change list will do, or an API checking tool or whatever other means that you can think of. On Feb 7, 10:48 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: When a new SDK is posted, there is a complete API diff and overview of the changes. However, there is very little change to the platform APIs in 1.1, so there isn't much to say about this one. I'm not sure when an SDK for it will be available. Also, out of curiosity, how did you go about using the private class? If you are actually using the SDK, you shouldn't be able to use any of the private classes, just to protect people from accidentally using things that will break on them. Finally, if there is a class like this in the internal implementation that you really want to use, just copy it out and build the copy in to your own code. That way your code won't break when the system changes.

(The only reason I posted my findings is to save somebody the debugging time as it was not obvious what was the reason at first) This brings another related question. Is there a single place where we as developers can see what has changed between the public releases of the API's for example from RC30 = RC33? - (preferably both internal and external changes)? The only thing I could find is that RC33 has fixed several bugs and added several features, but nothing specific about what has changed and what bugs have been fixed.

[android-developers] GPS wakes up when screen wakes up
I have a properly functioning service that registers a locationlistener for GPS updates. It's registered to wake up every 30 mins (even if the object moved 0 meters). The problem is that everytime the screen wakes up (from standby), it fires the onStatusChanged, followed by onLocationChanged regardless how much time has passed since the last GPS fix. Also, my LocationManager registers this in service's onCreate() and removes it on onDestoy() and I'm not destroying and re-creating my service. Any ideas why would LocationListener's callbacks wake up outside its scheduled time?

[android-developers] HELP! View layout issue
Hey guys, I am trying to define a view with the following requirements: 1. the view should occupy the entire screen, except the notification area (the top small bar) 2. The view should be even split into three parts, the top and bottom are two huge buttons, and the middle is a scrollable list. Note: no matter how many items in the list, it should only take 1/3 of view space. I created the following layout xml, but it has dimension hard coded, which is obviously undesired. What's the right way to do this? Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] Re: SlidingDrawer not working with RC33
Any chance to see a kind of home screen container widget where you can drop your views and flip through them ? Right now we're using extended ( so now it' can accept any view(s) with in itself ) code from workspace for that, but it'll be nice to see this sometime in the future as official container. I don't see this widget move to the framework in the foreseeable future. The goal of the framework is not to offer any type of widget, but commonly used widgets.

Thank you very much, this was very helpful. My apologies for jumping to conclusions! I'm usually suspicious of the way corporations involve themselves with with F/OSS, but this seems to be entirely on the level. Good show. Thanks again! Rich On Feb 7, 10:03 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: They are compiled against the framework library, before the non-SDK symbols have been stripped from it. The platform build system -can- build against the SDK version, but that feature didn't exist until very late in to the 1.0 platform, so many of the apps don't use it, and so as much as one tries to avoid it they will end up unintentionally using non-SDK methods. Also there was a lot of cleanup of the SDK that happened late in 1.0, when there wasn't time to update all of the existing apps to use new official SDK APIs. As for the Intent flag, that is actually a new feature in Cupcake (which is in the SDK), so it just means you are trying to build a post-1.0 application against the 1.0 SDK. There is a very good chance this won't work, like here. If you want to build against the 1.0 SDK, you really should do this from the 1.0 version of the app. I don't know about the Vibrator thing; there is certaily a public API for controlling the vibrator.

The full complete source to the platform is right up there in git for you to do whatever you want with it. I'm fairly miffed about this quite honestly, as what is the point of having this as an open source project if we can't even compile the code to be working on.

[android-developers] Re: BitmapShader performance
Thanks for the details.
I did think that the disparity might be the result of a unoptimized code
paths, but my understanding of how the Shader integrates into the rendering
implementation as a whole was too sketchy to know whether this would be an
optimization that one might reasonably expect to be feasible.
In my case, the optimization isn't vital since the existing code works
pretty much as well as I need it to - I guess the tiles are large enough
that the overhead of rendering them separately isn't too great.
As a general point, I've run into a few surprises regarding the performance
characteristics of certain graphical operations. One I ran into yesterday
was that drawing an RGB_565 image (without matrix) onto a Canvas obtained
from a SurfaceView became significantly slower after specifying SRC mode on
the Paint object. Given that there is no alpha channel on the src, I would
have expected the SRC mode to have been a noop at worst, and at best trigger
an optimization.
I hesitate to report these as issues because knowing what the expected
performance should be (or can be expected to be) seems very difficult.
Tom.
2009/2/6 Mike Reed r...@google.com
Doh! You've stumbled across a known missing optimization. No promises,
but this has been identified as an future optimization.
The dirty details are that the current code has special optimizations
for a straight drawBitmap when there is no matrix (other than
translate). In addition, there is another optimization for SRC mode
with 32bit bitmaps, where the blitter can literally call memcpy, since
there is no need to inspect the src pixels for blending. Neither of
these optimizations exist (yet) for the bitmapshader code.

Tom,
A shader is a per-pixel operation, which lets you apply it to any
shape, respecting alpha blending as well. As such it is not surprising
that your first method is faster.

I'm experimenting with tiling a fullscreen image (480x320px ARGB
bitmap) with a square image (160x160px ARGB bitmap). My initial
implementation was naive:
public void render(Canvas canvas) {
final int size = tile.getWidth();
final int w = canvas.getWidth();
final int h = canvas.getHeight();
for (int y = 0; y h; y += size) {
for (int x = 0; x w; x += size) {
canvas.drawBitmap(tile, x, y, null);
}
}
}
Then I remembered that Paint supports a Shader, so I swapped this
implementation for something much more satisfying:
public void render(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawPaint(paint);
}
Where paint is initialized outside this method with:
paint = new Paint();
paint.setShader(new BitmapShader(tile, Shader.TileMode.REPEAT,
Shader.TileMode.REPEAT));
I expected that using a BitmapShader would be competitive with the
first implementation and probably slightly faster. But initial
benchmarking indicates that the first method is more than twice as
fast (almost 3x as fast if PorterDuff.Mode.SRC is used for both). I
found that surprising.
Is there a good reason that the BitmapShader is necessarily much
slower, or does it point to a deficiency in its implementation?

[android-developers] Re: How to invoke a service of one APK in another APK
Hi, My objective: I want to develop two .apks as .apk#1 and .apk#2. My .apk#1 has one serice as serv#1 and .apk#2 has serive as .serv#2. I wanna to invoke the serv#1 of .apk#1 in serv#2 of .apk#2. For time being i have created two .apks and thinking how to commucate between them, i mean how i should proceed to invoke serv# of .apk#1 in my .apk#2. Can someone please help me what all steps i need to follow to achive my objective? If someone can share a sample example if you had that would be really helpful for me. I have lots of questions in my mind mentioned below but not sure whether all my understanding are correct or not as per my objective -- - As per my knowledge both .apk#1 and .apk#2 will run in different process, so i might require the IPC mechanism. - I also need to expose the interface using AIDL. Is it require to generate and compile the AIDL interface for both the .apk#1 and .apk#2. - How i can include the .apk#1 in .apk#2, is it like package .apk#1??

If you launch it as a background process it may, it depends on what the shell is set up to do when it gets closed.

[android-developers] Re: is there any setStyle method?
Dianne, I tried going down the 'declare-styleable' route as you suggested. I'm a bit stuck because 'declare-styleable' needs to be placed in a 'attrs.xml' file, which gets compiled to R.java in the package specified by the 'package' attribute in AndroidManifest.xml. But I am creating a View for other developers to use. So I can't know in advance what their package will be. So 'declare-styleable' doesn't seem appropriate? Or am I missing something? Please help! Is it possible in R2 to programmatically apply styles? Regards, Richard. P.S.

[android-developers] Detecting changes to a specific row through a content observer
Hi. I would like to detect changes to a Contact. Registering a ContentObserver correctly notifies when a change occures, but does not tell where. Registering Contacts.CONTENT_URI will report a change on Contacts.People or Contacts.Phones, but will not say which record or which table. I could get a hash on each entry, save it on my own db, and compare and find the changed record, but it seems to repeat work that already just been done, and could be slow. Any ideas appreciated.

[android-developers] Rendering a map off-screen?
I want to create a map off-screen, so I can load it as a texture in OpenGL. So, of course I'm not putting the MapView on the main screen, which means I'm manually forcing the layout through the layout() function, and then using the drawCanvas() method to write out the screen content into a bitmap. However, I'm struggling to get a handle on the tile loading. There's the preLoad() function, but other than that I can't seem to force/ determine what's going on under the hood in terms of how far the tiling has come. Is this possible at all really, or is for example the MapActivity doing some special magic to the MapView object only when it is set on- screen through SetContentView()?

[android-developers] What is the optimized environment to develop or modify an application in Android platform?
I wanna ask a simple question to all android developers~ What is the optimized environment to develop or modify an application in Android platform? How are you developing an application now? Google provided several excellent tools to develop an application such as Emulator, Dalvik Debug Monitor, Logcat, SQLites. However, the basic thing in developing an application is... build fix... isn't it? The way how I develop is that... modify some code in windows system.. and then move the changed source to Ubuntu system and... build it. (make). Now... I wanna make it easier~ so.. I built an application(in packages) using Eclipse in windows system, but it is not able to build it because the android.jar does not include so many APIs from framework (e.g.:\frameworks\base\core\java\com\google\android) I created a new SDK using make sdk in the Ubuntu system to fix this problem, but it is still not able to build an application using Eclipse. Is there anyone who can help me on this? Are there no ways to build an existing application in packages?

[android-developers] Re: How to invoke a service of one APK in another APK
Hi,
I had posted this question earlier in the Android-Beginners list but
didn't get any response :(
Saw this thread here and thought of trying my luck again!
Can someone help me with the steps to export a service to another
android application?
I have created a service and defined an interface which is exposed by
the service. I want to be able to get a reference to this interface in
another android application.
package scratch.service;
Service: DbService
Interface: DbServiceInterface (aidl filename is
DbServiceInterface.aidl)
In the AndroidMainfest.xml for the Service:
I have these lines:
---
permission android:name=scratch.permission.DB_SERVICE_KEY
android:label=DbServicePermission
android:description=@string/perm_desc
android:protectionLevel=dangerous/
uses-permission
android:name=scratch.application.permission.DB_SERVICE_KEY/
application android:label=@string/app_name
!-- Export this service so that it can be used --
service
android:name=.DbService
android:exported=true
android:enabled=true
android:permission=scratch.permission.DB_SERVICE_KEY
intent-filter
action android:name=MyDbService /
/intent-filter
/service
---
Now, moving onto the the client application that uses the Service:
package scratch.activity
Activity: DbActivity
In the AndroidMainfest.xml for the Activity:
---
uses-permission
android:name=scratch.permission.DB_SERVICE_KEY /
application android:label=@string/app_name
activity android:name=.DbActivity
android:label=@string/app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
/activity
---
I have imported scratch.service.DbServiceInterface in the source-file
for the Activity but while building I used to get:
---
compile:
[javac] Compiling 2 source files to /home/rohan/workspace/projects/

The android.jar includes a compressed resources file called resources.arsc that appt needs to extract out to a buffer. The first error indicates that it failed to create this buffer. The root cause is that the buffer max size is set to 1 MB. The resources.arsc file in prior versions was smaller than the max size, but in cupcake, it's about 1.3 MB. For a quick workaround, you can increase this buffer size to 2 MB. To do this, look for the Asset.h file under mydroid/frameworks/base/include/utils change UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX = 1 * 1024 * 1024 to UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX = 2 * 1024 * 1024 and rebuild the sdk again.

[android-developers] Re: access to internal telephony
Hi, Using a DEV phone, seems I can not make calls to numbers containing extra digits (i.e. pauses - either 'hard' or 'timed'). They are stripped. If I start the call from the built-in contacts app using the ACTION_VIEW intent and then tapping a phone field with, say - *151,#,1 it is dialed ok. Is there any intent other than ACTION_CALL I need to use to start a call to a number like *151,#,1 to have the device call then send those extra digits ? Or is there any specific intent data ? type ? extra ? Or maybe a formatting ? TIA On Feb 8, 6:09 am, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Not any time soon. Most of the classes there will only work when running code in the phone process, and making them work in other process would be significant work. Also on the G1 I don't believe that anything in the application processor even has access the voice data stream, so it just wouldn't be able to do what you want even if you were modifying the platform itself.

[android-developers] Re: Audio Streaming with Media Player
Hello!!!
this source code is no problem!
but just only Url is incorrect.
mp.setDataSource(http://asx.skypro.ch/radio/internet-64/
drs3.asx);
you should choice correct Url ( for down load file).
mp.setDataSource(http://amnhac.timnhanh.com/player/getsong/down
/35A5E94E/f255cbf3cd58dfa923867c0b49c784ba/887379/1234163243);
if you correct it, you can run playback!.
OK!

I tried to do the same thing. I had to implement a buffering file

But the problem was the first file streaming the content grew without

So wait cupcake...
But how LastFm could provide this type of streaming?
