[android-developers] Re: Android Market: server error when authorizing credit card
Heh... I guess it would create some problems if you tried to purchase an app with your own account for, say, 1 dollar... So your account is then $-1.00, Google gets $0.30 and you get the other $0.70, bringing your own account up to $-0.30. Then if you return the app you would be refunded $1.00, and Google would take away your $0.70 profit... and you would be back to $1.00... but it would probably spawn some infinite loop and all hell would break loose on the Android Market (oh wait, it already has). Suggestion: Displaying the message You may not purchase your own goods from the Market would be much more informative than A server error has occurred. (Thus avoiding the developer hitting Retry a bunch of times!) :-) On Feb 20, 3:11 pm, Inderjeet Singh inder...@gmail.com wrote: That is true: Google Checkout will not let a merchant be a buyer for their own goods.

[android-developers] Update UK G1 not showing paid apps
I've been playing with a UK G1 which has received the 1.1 firmware update (TC9), but it would seem that it can't access paid for apps. I'd appreciate someone else verifying this on another update UK G1, but when I switched the view to show paid apps only all the categories just have a message saying; No matching content in Android Market. If someone could check this I'd appreciate it because at the moment I'm not sure if it is something wrong with the G1 I was using (signal strength, etc.), or does the UK TC9 update not bring paid-apps to UK users?

[android-developers] Re: Update UK G1 not showing paid apps
I can confirm this is the same on my UK G1. The market is no longer Beta, but no paid app's yet. My guess is the update means UK G1's can now support paid app's, but we're still waiting on Google to flick the switch and make them available. Hopefully, not too much longer to wait.

Hi! I have a Backgroundservice running, an icon is displayed in the status- bar. When a user clicks the button delete notifications my icon dissappears also. But i want that after that my icon appears again! So that the user is able to click on the notification to get into my application. Now i display the notification in a thread every time. But i want to display it only if it was deleted. I think the best way is to check if the notification is displayed, is there a way to get this information?

[android-developers] How to create a view with a background that wraps up all the content of the view?
I'm trying to create a listview containing conversations in chat bubbles, and each chat bubbles are rows in the list view. So what I have is an avatar on the left, and a chat bubble on the right. Then in the chat bubble, I have a textview for name, a textview for content, and a textview for time. The problem is, I cannot adjust the height of the chat bubble such that the bottom edge is just below the textview for time. In the chatBubble, I have this line that does not work android:layout_alignBottom=@+id/timeLabel because timeLabel is a textview created after chatBubble. If I place chatBubble tags right below timeLabel, the height of chatBubble will be just right because lf the layout_alignBottom, but chatBubble covers all the text created before it. Is there a way I can create the chatBubble last, and bring the view to the background? Or is there a better way to do this? ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[android-developers] can't read mp3 file from sdcard
Hi Mates,
i am trying to write mp3 file in OutputStreamWriter.
here is the code:
String fileName=/sdcard/test_cbr.mp3;
byte [] buffer = new byte[1024*4];
int bytesRead = 0;
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(fileName);
// everything fine untill here
while( (bytesRead = is.read(buffer)) 0) { // while condition is
false
wr.write(buffer,0,bytesRead);
wr.flush();
}
it can access the file and makes the FileInputStream object but cann't
read. it doesn't go in While loop
any solution?
Thanks

[android-developers] Re: When to setResult for onActivityResult
@Tseng: I can't find this method - are you talking about class Activity ? So, let me get this straight: there are just two possible ways to setResult(): - Either: setResult() in your change listeners after data (even the slightest bit) changes in your activity - Or: present a dedicated GUI element (menu entry, button or sth) to end the activity; setResult() and finish() in its activate listener *sigh* Both ways have reasonable drawbacks ... I will have to think about which way suits me most :( On Mar 5, 3:28 am, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: You can call it a design flaw, but the design is that at the point you say to finish your activity, the current result is bundled up and delivered, and than we go through the normal pause etc flow to transition from that activity to the previous. At this point in time this just isn't going to change.

The documentation for Activity mentions that When an activity exits, it can call setResult(int) to return data back to its parent. Yes - it says so. But it doesn't say WHEN - this is my problem; I don't know when to setResult efficiently: onPause() doesn't work, onSaveInstanceState() doesn't work; listening for back ain't failproof; listening for data changes is ineffective. *sigh* When you're getting a NPE what does you stacktrace look like? Nevermind the NPE - it comes from RESULT_CANCELLED and Intent.getExtras () returning null. btw, you shouldn't assume that the parent activity will outlive the child one - that is, the fact that your parent activity has spawned another one for result doesn't mean it won't be destroyed should the system need to destroy it because it's not in the foreground.

[android-developers] Capturing exceptions on user's phones?
We all know what its like - everything works perfect on the dev's phone, but once you roll something out, user's complain about the dreaded force close!! Sometimes its just on one or two phones, but wouldn't it be good if we could get some kind of stack trace to see whats really going on? Obviously we can't speak to our users in person or play with their phones, so we need some way of getting error diagnostics off their phone and onto the dev's computer. I was thinking along the lines of apps having a generic exception handler which could store the stack trace and then maybe upload to a web server so that the dev can take a look - anyone achieved something like this? Maybe the SDK should (or already does?) support something like this - I think it will benefit developers and users enormously!!

[android-developers] Why different behaviour when exiting app using BACK and HOME ?
Hi all, I know this probably was discussed here before, but I can only find bits of info. Say a user runs my app from the HOME screen. The app has 3 tabs. Say he/she selectes a different tab, so he/she is in a different screen (same task). Now - if the user presses BACK - the device returns to the HOME screen. If the user launches my app again - the default tab is shown. BUT - if the user presses HOME - the device returns to the HOME screen (same). If the user launches my app again - the OTHER tab is shown. I understand (sort of) the logic - BACK returns to previous app, popping my app from the history stack, so when launched again - it is started from scratch. But this is confusing my customers - they say it's a bug ! They dont understand the different between two keys doing the same thing as far as they see (returning to HOME). Moreover - I see a different behavior with the built-in DIALER app - I change tabs, press HOME, launch the app again - and it starts with the default tab. Can I imitate this ?

Mads, Thats exactly what we all need. How do you get unhandled exceptions or do you put try...catch in all your code blocks? Do you submit stack traces individually or batch them up? Any chance of sharing some of the code? We really need a generic component for this - it will be a huge boost for quality of the apps!

[android-developers] Receiver dynamically or in manifest?
Hi! I have dynamically registered a receiver in a class that extends Service to inform for incoming sms. Code: this.registerReceiver(smslistener, new IntentFilter (android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED)); It works, but sometimes, when the phone is longer not used and the black-screen appears, my application does not notice incoming sms until i use the phone again. So for example, i sent a sms at 13:23 and the G1 got it also at 13:23 but in the Logfile the entry was made at 13:43 when i used the phone again. I read in another article that its better for listening to incoming sms to register the receiver not dynamically but in the manifest, then it should work! But my problem is, if i register it in the manifest it is running when the application starts, but i want that the user can choose if incoming sms would be noticed. So is there a way to register the receiver in manifest, but stop it then dynamically and start it again? Or how could this be done??

[android-developers] video viewing problem
Hi,
I have written the following code which plays the media file(.mp4).
Its working fine but,
I have two problems:
1. While trying to play a video file for the first time, video is not
getting played but the audio is playing(audible). Now if i try to play
the same video again in the application or if i restart the phone
(switch off and on ) i can see both video playing as well as the
audio.
2. I can play video if it is h.264 format. but if the video is of
encoding mpeg4, the app is unable to play the video.
can any one please suggest me to solve these two problems.

[android-developers] Re: Why different behaviour when exiting app using BACK and HOME ?
The default behavior of the back key is to exit your activity by calling finish() (which should pop to the next activity in the activity stack of the task your activity was in, or to another task if your activity was at the bottom of its task). You can override that. The behavior of the home key is to switch to the home application, but your activity doesn't exit. JBQ On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 3:03 AM, TAKEphONE shimo...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I know this probably was discussed here before, but I can only find bits of info. Say a user runs my app from the HOME screen. The app has 3 tabs. Say he/she selectes a different tab, so he/she is in a different screen (same task). Now - if the user presses BACK - the device returns to the HOME screen. If the user launches my app again - the default tab is shown. BUT - if the user presses HOME - the device returns to the HOME screen (same). If the user launches my app again - the OTHER tab is shown. I understand (sort of) the logic - BACK returns to previous app, popping my app from the history stack, so when launched again - it is started from scratch. But this is confusing my customers - they say it's a bug ! They dont understand the different between two keys doing the same thing as far as they see (returning to HOME). Moreover - I see a different behavior with the built-in DIALER app - I change tabs, press HOME, launch the app again - and it starts with the default tab. Can I imitate this ? TIA -- Jean-Baptiste M.

[android-developers] Re: Uninstall built-in app
I do not think you can uninstall system apps (for good reasons). User applications are installed under /data/app or app-private (which is writable), while system apps are under /system/app, which is ro. The way to deal with this is to respond to the same intents: so if you app is actually better than the system app, a user will make this the default (after being offered the choice). That is better than you deciding that your app is better (you would, wouldn't you).

Is this possible or will i have to write my own app to send sms and let that app decide how to send the sms? with so many sms apps out there i really did not want to add another to the mix and to instead work on a lower level. thanks Chris --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Application criteria/certification?
I think the idea is that the market should pretty much be the wild- west and user feedback should eventually sort out the good, the bad and the ugly. There might be some room for a third-party to provide app audit certification services. If there is every going to be an enterprise class Android based phone, the interest for such things might increase. Writing power-efficient apps can be quite tricky, specially for people like myself who are new to mobile application development. As developers get a better feel for the real hardware, I would hope things are going to improve. For example careless use of the location service can drain the battery in no time. When trying to find out which app is doing what in the background, keep an eye on the status indicators (GPS, bluetooth, wifi, cell data) as well as run logcat and top through adb. To check what is going on when the phone isn't attached to a computer, I wrote an app (NetMeter on the market) to plot CPU and network activity as well as display the list of CPU consuming tasks. If anybody has a way to monitor the logs from app, that would be very useful as well.

[android-developers] Re: Neither user nor current process has android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS
I'd also like to point out that there is a bug in the android system when handling intents for subactivities. I created an application that responds to the same intent as the call- log portion of the phone application (the intent that is started when the call-log tab is selected within that app). Normally, the activity that is started via this intent runs inside the call-log tab of the phone application, but if the activity resolver runs, the activity started thereafter runs as a regular full-screen activity and not inside of the call-log tab of the phone application. This happens no matter which activity you choose to start with the resolver, even if you select the default activity that usually runs with the phone application. It seems to me this has to be a problem with the activity resolver. The problem with SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS may be related to this. It happens if you select the use by default for this action check box, and then select one of the activities. The application then crashes with the error above. -Dan On Mar 3, 11:38 am, MakeMobile makemobileinnovati...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I'd like to revisit a topic that was previously posted, but never resolved. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

- when you create the MediaPlayer and call start(), your display isn't
ready yet. You need to wait for the surfaceCreated() callback.
- you need to use the version of MediaPlayer.create() that takes a
SurfaceHolder parameter.
(this was all discussed on this mailing list a few weeks ago, you
might want to search the archives)

John, It was my post you responded to and, believe it or not, I valued your response and stepped out of this thread to see what the general opinion was. I do have a vested interest in seeing the bad points of Market brought to light because these represent opportunities for AndAppStore, and I do post comments and ideas which may highlight problems in Market to see what the general feedback is to an idea (because after all there's no point developing function X if nobody is going to use it). I can understand that some people will see these as promotional material, but I do get valuable feedback from that, even if it is finding out that people really don't even want to consider the idea. I hope this helps you understand where I'm coming from when I make posts like that. Al.

[android-developers] HttpConnection Intermittent Poblems
Hi,
My app uses a simple HttpConnection to download and parse some XML
that I host. The important code is as follows:-
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
connection;
int responseCode = httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if(responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
// do useful stuff here
}
else {
// display connection
failed error message here
}
This works all the time on my G1 (based in UK), but a number of my
users are complaing they always see the connection failed message.
This is even though they have 3G connections and can browse the
internet, use google maps etc.
Can you see that I'm doing something obviously wrong?
Is there a more robust way to connect?
Any advice greatly appreciated,
Ryan

[android-developers] Re: Dialog Survival Over Configuration Change
On Mar 4, 11:59 pm, Nmix nepean...@gmail.com wrote: No doubt you're right. After a while it feels like I'm doing a peculiar dance to celebrate the Rites of Spring, all the while sprinkling magic pixie dust over my code. I had already come to the same conclusion, that doing dismissDialog() in onSaveInstanceState() is a mistake, because it changes activity state in a way such that the dialog doesn't automatically reappear at the end of a phone call (which it did before). As to what I want to accomplish, it's very simple: all views, including any dialog, survives over configuration changes and temporary ceding of control to another activity. Until I encountered the problem with my dynamic dialog content I had everything under control. It was then that I speculated that I ought to just dismiss the dialog in this rare case to simplify my life since the dialog is easily re-accessed by the user with one button press. Ideally I would want to do have the dialog survive, and contain the same (refreshed) dynamic data. So let me see if I've got this right (I can revisit the code later to try stuff). In onSaveInstanceState() I bundle away the stateful data I need to refresh the app state and all views, including dialogs. If the app is just being paused, the saved data shouldn't be used elsewhere, such as in onResume(), where it isn't delivered anyway. And I believe onRestoreInstanceState() will not be called. I am uncertain at this point whether, in case of restoration after config change, I should pull the saved data from the bundle in onCreate () or, (which I image happens afterward) in onRestoreInstanceState(). When I was merely pulling database records and filling in dynamic parts of the main layout view, I don't believe it mattered. With static dialogs, I don't need to do anything at all. With dynamic dialogs I started running into problems and coming up with ineffective solutions. As reported earlier, I can't call dismissDialog() -- it seemed unavailable to my code after restoration of the activity. So if I don't call dismissDialog() before the activity is destroyed I have a visibly broken dialog that I can't dismiss. The buttons still work fine so the user can close it, but that is absolutely not good. When I tried dismissDialog() in onDestroy (), along the lines that Marco suggested, nothing happened. I haven't checked but I assume onDestroy() was not called. Romain suggested removeDialog(), which I haven't tried yet, though I have to wonder if it'll work after restoration when dismissDialog() does not work. The way things stand, if I don't call dismissDialog() in onSaveInstanceState() I can't get rid of it. Yet if I do I seem to be creating additional trouble for myself since if it was just an ordinary pause I have to redo showDialog() in onResume() for no particularly good reason other than I can't find a better way. Sorry to be so long winded, but I wanted to try and be clear about this. If I hear nothing I will likely try this latter route and see what happens. I'll pull the saved data in onCreate() and then call showDialog() in onResume(). If I manage stateful data appropriately I think this will work. I just hope there's a better way. Thanks for your interest. This worked. However I suspect that there must be a better way to handle managed dialogs, or perhaps there should be. Active dialogs that I can't access or dismiss after activity restoration is a problem. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Looking for a way to build resolution independent layout xml?
Hi I am working on a screen that needs to look fine at HVGA-L resolution as well as 640x480 resolution. Lets say I have a button that is 200 pixels wide and 50 pixels high on HVGA-L skin. When the same layout xml is shown at 640x480 skin, I want my button size increase proportionately. The hardware the app runs on supports both the resolutions. How do I do that? None of the units that the android framework provides seems to have this facility. If I use px, then the button size will stay same. dip doesn't matter because it is the same hardware. sp is meant for fonts, not for button width/heights. Is there any trick to do this?

build the interface without the xml, coding it, so each time you are going to draw it check current resolution. I worked with brew a few years back and some things we did that way, others we just draw the button the same size in pixels, so the owner of the bigger screen would see things smaller or had more unused screen area On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:53 PM, Videoguy puri_mall...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi I am working on a screen that needs to look fine at HVGA-L resolution as well as 640x480 resolution.

[android-developers] Trying to understand TabHost source code
Hi,
I am trying to understand TabHost source code. In the setup() , it has:
// KeyListener to attach to all tabs. Detects non-navigation keys
// and relays them to the tab content.
mTabKeyListener = new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN:
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER:
return false;
}
mTabContent.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_FORWARD);
return mTabContent.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
};
My question is why it intersects all LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN key event? If
that is the case, can i still use LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN to navigate
within the TabContent (let say I have a row of buttons in the
TabContent. Can I use LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN to move from 1 button to
another in the TabContent)?

[android-developers] Re: getApplicationContext returns null in test case (unless you sleep first)
The framework runs the instrumentation independently of the app, so it can
do what it wants when it wants. And an activity is not the app.
Activities are created all the time, you can't wait for whatever one to be
created before running the instrumentation.

[android-developers] Re: Neither user nor current process has android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS
Ah yeah. This is either a bug, or just not something that is supported. We will change Dialtacs to not use implicit intents for its tabs, since replacing them just won't work. This will avoid running into such problems involving it. On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:53 AM, DanM dan.me...@gmail.com wrote: I'd also like to point out that there is a bug in the android system when handling intents for subactivities. I created an application that responds to the same intent as the call- log portion of the phone application (the intent that is started when the call-log tab is selected within that app). Normally, the activity that is started via this intent runs inside the call-log tab of the phone application, but if the activity resolver runs, the activity started thereafter runs as a regular full-screen activity and not inside of the call-log tab of the phone application. This happens no matter which activity you choose to start with the resolver, even if you select the default activity that usually runs with the phone application. It seems to me this has to be a problem with the activity resolver. The problem with SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS may be related to this. It happens if you select the use by default for this action check box, and then select one of the activities. The application then crashes with the error above. -Dan On Mar 3, 11:38 am, MakeMobile makemobileinnovati...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I'd like to revisit a topic that was previously posted, but never resolved. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

[android-developers] Re: Intercepting outgoing sms
Avraham thanks for the reply. I know i can do it by making my own app that the send the mail by but that is really less than ideal in my case. Maybe it would be possible to write an sms gateway class or something that is set to the default method instead of the normal mobile one. The i could redirect to the mobile one if i did not want to process this sms. Does anyone know the low level of the OS and if this is possible? Has someoen tried this before? i find it strange that others have not wanted to do similar.

[android-developers] Initial database population from large data files, several problems
I'm building a dictionary application with 135,000 word entries (words
only). My raw file must have been too large (1.5 meg), because I got
this error:
D/asset (909): Data exceeds UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX (1424000 vs 1048576)
I've searched for this error with very few relevant hits. It seemed to
mean I could not open an uncompressed file over a meg. So I then split
the file into two smaller files and ran my code on both of them. It
worked out fine. My total application size is 3 meg installed.
My code is:
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
database.execSQL(CREATE TABLE + DATABASE_TABLE + (wordid
INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, word VARCHAR););
Scanner fileScanner = new
Scanner(myContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.wordlist));
while ( fileScanner.hasNextLine() ) {
String wordFromFile = fileScanner.nextLine();
database.execSQL(INSERT INTO words (word) VALUES (' +
wordFromFile + '););
}
fileScanner = new
Scanner(myContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.wordlist2));
while ( fileScanner.hasNextLine() ) {
String wordFromFile = fileScanner.nextLine();
database.execSQL(INSERT INTO words (word) VALUES (' +
wordFromFile + '););
}
}
However, when the application is first run, it takes several MINUTES to
initialize the database in this way. Is there a way (like a copy
command, as found in, say, postgresql, or a restore of a database file)
to copy data from a raw file, and can such a method be accessed from the
SDK so that standard first-run procedures can correctly set up the
database? I have been unable to locate such a luxury. I am seeking to
speed up this data populating process.
First question: how can I speed up my database population?
Second question: is there a way to read a raw resource file larger than
1 megabyte (aside from making it into two smaller files)? If not, why?

[android-developers] Re: Neither user nor current process has android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS
What do you mean by not supported? Do you mean that you should not be able to do this for any TabActivity class? What is to stop other developers from falling into the same trap? Also, if this is the case, it seems to be impossible to create a new call-log application because one would have to re-implement the entire phone application, which would be Ok if that were possible. But, looking at the code it seems that the phone application has access to privileged code, making writing a 3rd party phone app imposible. So it is impossible to completely replace the default phone application? On Mar 5, 3:13 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Ah yeah. This is either a bug, or just not something that is supported. We will change Dialtacs to not use implicit intents for its tabs, since replacing them just won't work.

[android-developers] Eclipse problems when adding layoutlib.jar to a project
Hello, I need to use the IWindowManager classes et al that resides in the layoutlib.jar file and have added it to my project in Eclipse (3.4.2) as an external Jar. After doing this, Eclipse utilizes 100% CPU (very slow, almost hung) and is unusable when Eclipse tries to build the project. Sometimes I get it to create the classes,dex file but most of the time I have to kill the IDE. Also, the dex-file is very large (around 4MB, when it gets created at all). If I remove layoutlib.jar the project builds normally. 1. How do I use the layoutlib.jar file in my project? 2. How do I prevent the classes.dex file to contain a copy of layoutlib.jar?
